Chapter 117 Abyss Black Industry and Five Rounds of Recruitment

Chapter 117 "Abyss Black Industry and Five Rounds of Recruitment"

"Roy, you lead the shipwrights to build the hull accessories. Kula, you come with me to build the main body of the ship and help me. Tina, are all the materials ready?"

"As you command, Captain."

"There is still half of the floating sun wood, and the rest is all dead soul wood, and then there are Baden's corpse and the corpses of twelve high-level demons."

Tina followed Qiao Yang, her voice sounding weak. She was now temporarily acting as the first mate, helping Qiao Yang with some trivial matters, such as resource scheduling, personnel placement, etc. She now understood how hard Marquis usually worked. This is not a human job.

"Very good, everyone is ready to start work!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Most of the busy people at this time were logistics personnel. Due to the addition of Baden, the legendary Barlow Demon, there was almost no pressure on logistics. In line with the principle of maximizing the utilization of human resources, Qiao Yang brought them over to build the ship. After all, they are all professionals, so there is no problem in being a coolie carrying materials.

These people have no problem with this. After all, collecting trophies after the war is one of their jobs.

Time passed slowly. With the blessing of rapid construction, this brand-new ship was built with the legendary Balor Fire Demon as the main body, supplemented by twelve high-level demon corpses and many extraordinary materials. Roy, the legendary shipwright, plus the ship With the help of Artisan Kula, it only took just thirty minutes for it to appear in front of everyone from scratch, which was a full half of the time it took him to build the Purgatory Black Sin alone.

Looking at the behemoth in front of him, a completely different sense of accomplishment arose in his heart. He could finally row the boat with his bare hands. Why was he inexplicably moved?

"Captain, your ideas are really wild. This is an almost perfect creation. What is her name?"

Kula looked at the new ship intoxicatedly. For shipbuilders, nothing can attract their attention more than a perfect ship.

"Abyss Black Industry!"

Qiao Yang didn't hesitate and said the name he had thought of for a long time.

"Sin and karma burn in the realm of darkness. The captain has a heart that tolerates everything. He is really a suitable name."

Kula tasted the name of the new ship, and what she said made Qiao Yang's teeth ache and felt a little ashamed. He had thought so much.

But what Kula said makes sense. The birth of the Abyss Black Sin is destined. Since there is a devil crew, the devil crew cannot escape. Compared with the Purgatory Black Sin, the main material used to build her was replaced by the legendary devil. , if there are no mistakes, the demon crew recruitment module will definitely be enabled in the end.

In addition, because Qiao Yang did not add the corpse of the legendary black dragon Clecio as a material, the new ship was stuck at the quasi-fourth level like the Purgatory Black Sin. It was expected. Now he only needs to use the fourth level. The Abyss Obelisk rewarded by the Nine Abyss Trials can smoothly push it to the fourth level, just like the former.

He took out the mini abyss obelisk from his backpack and activated it directly. He had gone through this process yesterday and it was a familiar batch.

Three minutes later, a huge obelisk also appeared on the Abyss Black Industry. The scorching air waves dispersed along with the smell of sulfur. The abyssal characters on it lit up from bottom to top. The aura of chaos and evil almost condensed into substance. Echoing the Purgatory Black Sin not far away, the aura unique to the fourth-level extraordinary ship spread, and the promotion was successful.

When the obelisk was integrated with the Abyss Black Industry, Qiao Yang took out the Demon Reincarnation Pool and strode onto the deck. Finally, he came to the place he had reserved long ago. It was located behind the middle level of the ship. It was hidden and very strong. To place this precious and special piece of architecture,

As a burst of black-purple light seeped out, a pool about fifteen feet in diameter appeared in front of us. Endless wails and roars entered the ears from the bottom of the pool. At the same time, a special smell penetrated the nose, and there was an inexplicable sadness. Filled in the bottom of the heart, and gradually transformed into the deepest despair, making people unable to extricate themselves, and involuntarily want to jump down and return to the most primitive state.

"There is something that actually comes with a certain degree of protection. People with weak minds or weak willpower who come here will probably directly become nourishment for the demon reincarnation pool."

As the captain, Qiao Yang will naturally not be affected by the Demon Reincarnation Pool, but according to his calculations, any existence with a willpower lower than fifteen points, an intelligence lower than ten points, or a perception higher than twenty points will be affected by this. This kind of spontaneous protective mechanism affects it, and if it fails, it will be directly turned into fertilizer.

It can only be said that it is a special building that combines the origins of the two outer planes. Its own characteristics alone are enough to keep out some criminals.

The Demon Reincarnation Pond cannot be moved after it is converted into a building, but only in this way can it play its proper role and have all the characteristics of a building, and there will be almost nothing that can hit it before the ship sinks. Come here.

In addition, there is no need to worry too much about safety. Just send a part of the crew to guard here. After all, not everyone has the same problem as him. If you can find this place under the cover of the obelisk, then you can only say that it is on the opposite side. It's also open, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

Special buildings also have a separate panel where you can check the status of the building and other things. As soon as you think about it, relevant information will appear in front of you.

——————

【Evil Reincarnation Pool】

Reincarnation energy: 1000/100000

Ordinary reincarnation: 0/120

Upgrade and reincarnation: 0/20

Current Demons Transformed: None

——————

The panel introduction is not complicated. The only thing I haven't seen before is the reincarnation energy. After the consciousness is concentrated, the specific information is passed into the mind.

"Anything with energy can charge the demon reincarnation pool. An ordinary reincarnation consumes one hundred to one thousand, and an upgraded reincarnation consumes five thousand to fifty thousand. Ah... you better abide by the law of conservation of energy, otherwise I’ll dismantle it for you!”

He had an inexplicable premonition that his liver would not be saved. Why did this thing look so livery and so fragile?

Shaking his head, Qiao Yang tried to drive this weird thought out of his mind, and then came to the captain's cabin of the Abyss Black Industry. While opening the ship's panel, he said directly:

"Stop hiding, wake up, I need your help."

"Hey, Abyss has seen the captain. How do you know that I have woken up? I should not have been exposed."

A clear girlish voice was directly transmitted into Qiao Yang's mind. She was the ship spirit of the Abyss Black Industry. Under the same configuration, she also gave birth to a complete consciousness.

Different from the calm and atmospheric Purgatory Black Sin, her character is more lively, which may be related to the fact that her body is a combat ship.

"Didn't you realize that a senior before you has woken up?"

"Captain, you called me?"

The Black Sin of Purgatory came here after being summoned, and this time it directly fried the hair of the newborn girl.

"Ah, who are you? No, how can you take over my body? Get out! Captain, someone bullied me, please take revenge on me."

"Hey, I'm still a little drama queen. I just came here to see how the newcomers are doing, but the results are not very good. I'm really disappointed. See you later, Captain. Purgatory is waiting for your arrival at any time."

"Don't leave. Who are you talking about? Don't think that you can be on top of me since you came here before me. You can't be my opponent in a real fight..."

"Haha~ It's so cute, little sister."

"Ah! I want to duel with you!"

"Why are you so anxious, little sister~"

Qiao Yang shook his head helplessly. There was no way that the Abyss Black Industry, who was also at the fourth level, could not be the opponent of the Purgatory Black Sin. He could only say that the little drama queen's words were really appropriate, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them. Anyway, with him here, it was impossible to cause trouble. The complete ship panel appears in front of you.

Hypocrisy of the Abyss: Open a layer of camouflage enchantment. At this time, the ship defaults to the warship of the four races (human race, elves, orcs, and undead), and the default favorability of the four races is neutral.

——————

A main battle fourth-level extraordinary ship, it has eight ship entries like the Purgatory Black Sin. The most important thing is that it can also continue to evolve. The difference is that the former evolves by absorbing the power of original sin, and the latter evolves by devouring flesh and blood nutrients. There are two phases. With the combination, his enemies will never be left with any bones and dregs in the future, a perfect utilization of waste.

Because the construction methods are similar, some of the inherent entries are similar but not the same. Generally speaking, the Abyss Black Industry is very consistent with Qiao Yang's psychological expectations.

In terms of special buildings, there is an additional planting shed, which currently does not have the blessing of extraordinary attributes. The purpose of the construction is also very simple, so that the only gardener in the fleet can play her role. Anyway, it can be replaced with a new one after the special building drawings are found. Okay, absolutely nothing goes to waste.

Without hesitation, Qiao Yang opened the recruitment panel without stopping. No one could resist the temptation of 24+8+16 to draw cards. Before starting, Qiao Yang called out Abyss, who was still scolding each other in the distance:

"Calm down for a while and get ready to work, mainly the special crew and gunners."

"Oh, okay, Captain."

Shen Yuan stopped talking, that is, she has not been promoted to legend yet, and there is no way to see her appearance, otherwise Qiao Yang would see an angry girl gritting her teeth and looking at Sister Yu on the other side. This scolding The battle ended with her complete defeat.

Since he had just finished playing yesterday, Qiao Yang was too lazy to engage in metaphysics at this time. Without even thinking about it, he used up all the sailor recruitment times in one go.

The next moment, more than twenty dazzling beams of light fell in the captain's cabin of the Abyss Black Industry. They were five green, sixteen blue, and three purple. Legendary sailors would appear one in every eight. The probability was frighteningly high.

When the light beam dispersed, a series of recruitment prompts sounded in his ears.

"You have recruited excellent artillerymen x 2."

"You have recruited an excellent artilleryman x8."

"You have recruited 2 excellent sentinel sailors."

"You have recruited 2 excellent musketeers and sailors."

"You have recruited an excellent falconer x1."

"You have recruited excellent shipwrights and sailors x 1."

"You have recruited 3 outstanding scimitar sailors."

"You have recruited 2 excellent grappling hook sailors."

"Congratulations on recruiting the legendary scimitar sailor-Bruno Cage!"

"Congratulations on recruiting the legendary Sentinel sailor - Thelma Rhett!"

"Congratulations on recruiting the legendary crossbowman Phil Coulson!"

The more than 20 people were divided into three parts based on their talent differences. Their figures gradually solidified. After seeing Qiao Yang, their confused expressions gradually became clear. Then they knelt down on one knee and offered their loyalty.

"I have met the captain, may your glory last forever!"

"Bruno Cage is willing to overcome obstacles for you!"

"Thelma Rhett will be your eyes on the horizon. I will not miss any abnormalities."

"Phil Coulson reports to you!"

Legends always have more unique personalities, which can be seen from the opening remarks after their arrival.

Bruno is the second legendary scimitar sailor to arrive on Qiao Yang's ship. He has a bald head, a height of just over 1.8 meters, and is very strong. His upside-down eyes and aquiline nose are impressive. Compared with Marquis, his appearance is... It sounds ruthless enough and more in line with the temperament of a pirate.

Sentinel Thelma is an extremely rare female legendary sailor. She has a strong figure, beautiful appearance, and thin lips, which makes her face look cold and frosty. She has a scorpion tail braid that flows down to her hips, and her skin is a darker tan. , obvious muscle lines can be seen through the thin clothes.

Every qualified Sentinel is not a weakling. They are often engaged in the most dangerous intelligence work, and female Sentinels who can be promoted to legends will only be stronger. This makes Qiao Yang look forward to Selma's future performance.

The last legendary crossbowman Coulson is very interesting. He is a fat man, and he is an invincible fat man who weighs no less than 400 pounds. His honest and fleshy face does not look ugly, and is even a little cute.

However, the heavy crossbow he carried behind him was not what he thought. The big guy looked very intimidating. Each crossbow arrow he was equipped with was as thick as two fingers. It was hard to imagine what it would be like to be hit by this type of crossbow arrow. The scene is probably not going to be a pretty one.

"No courtesy, we are a family on board the ship. Please report to Navigator Yasir first. He will arrange suitable positions for you."

"As you command, Captain."

The new crew members had no objections and respectfully accepted the order, and then left the captain's room in an orderly manner. Everything went as it should, without any trouble.

If this scene is seen by other captains, they will definitely be jealous and shout, why?

There is no way, with the blessing of multiple legendary titles and even an epic title, he is now a die-hard recruiter of human crew members, even if they are legends who are supposed to be unruly.

After careful calculation, it has been almost ten days since Qiao Yang entered the Sea of ​​Birth.

At this time, as long as the captains are not too lazy, they have built their own ships, but their situation at this time is definitely not that good. Even those children of aristocratic families have not established much. Advantage.

The level of crew members recruited by new captains varies, and their initial loyalty will fluctuate according to their personalities. Most of the crew members have ordinary qualifications. This is ordinary in the true sense. Unless there is a chance, they will be promoted throughout their lives. The kind that is less than the third level.

Therefore, for them, a sailor with excellent qualifications is truly outstanding and belongs to the backbone of the ship. It is worth spending resources to train them. Even if they know that their future potential is limited, they must provide for them at this stage, even if they cannot eat or sleep well. Even if you don't treat them badly, you can't treat them badly, for fear that something will go wrong in that place and your loyalty will drop significantly.

Some captains who are not good at managing their men secretly call these crew members unruly people. They are not only difficult to serve, but also have many things to do. They will rebel if they are not careful, which makes them miserable.

Since Blue Star officially entered the Endless Sea, there have been many new captains who were forced to become lonely due to poor management. There have been such examples over the years, and it is not uncommon.

In addition, there are some lucky captains who have recruited crew members with outstanding qualifications. They usually shout about taking off, then take pictures and brag about them in the forum, thereby attracting the envy and hatred of a bunch of new adventurers.

So although it may seem that Excellent-class crew members are very worthless here to Qiao Yang, in fact, this is not the case.

A crew member with excellent qualifications can be promoted to the fourth level without any bottleneck. In the nascent sea, where combat power is relatively scarce in the early stage, recruiting an excellent crew member is basically equivalent to getting a ticket to the endless sea. It can be seen from this that The rarity of highly talented crew members.

When the newcomers pass the full moon trial, the big forces that have been prepared will spend a huge price to trade these talented crew members from the newcomer adventurers.

These forces naturally have their own considerations in doing this, because only in the Sea of ​​Birth can you see the specific talents.

In the endless sea, in addition to extraordinary ships, some recruitment quotas are reserved. If you want to expand your staff, you can only recruit from the local area.

However, this troublesome and wasteful recruitment method naturally has many disadvantages. On the one hand, it cannot guarantee absolute loyalty, and it is easy to recruit spies from other forces. In addition, there is no way to determine whether they are worth cultivating to the end. This is also done through recruitment. The fundamental reason why the coming crew is so popular.

But these are not problems that Qiao Yang should have a headache with. There are very few crew members with less than outstanding talents here. First, most of the crew members he recruits have high initial talents. In addition, he can also improve the talents of his crew members. Now The research is all about how to face the hidden crisis behind the legendary crew. I can only say that comparing people to others will make people angry. I don’t know how many people want to take his place.

After arranging the sailors, Qiao Yang continued to recruit sailors from the Eighth Company. Seven blues and one purple, familiar soul fluctuations came. Before the prompt sounded, he said directly:

"The Black Candle Fleet welcomes you, Barden!"

"Baden Ryan, I have met the great captain, please allow me to offer you my most sincere respect!"

A tall human man took the lead in breaking away the beam of light, kneeling on one knee while carrying an inconspicuous spear.

He had medium-long golden hair tied up and hung casually on one side. His azure eyes were like clear water, without any impurities.

However, there was something strange about his heart. A heart the size of a human head broke through his sternum and was beating violently. At this time, there were even echoes in the empty captain's room, like drums and thunder.

The most terrifying thing is that there is only a thin film between this heart and the outside world. It seems that just a light touch can take away his life.

Before Qiao Yang could ask, the notification sound related to recruitment came belatedly.

"You have recruited 2 excellent pharmacists - Tracey; Emin."

"You have recruited an outstanding historian - Luden."

"You have recruited an excellent navigator - Jin."

"You have recruited two excellent chefs - Mike Smith."

"You have recruited the excellent whale whisperer-Arman."

"Congratulations on recruiting the legendary Flame Abyss Knight—Baden Ryan!"

From the notification sound, Qiao Yang also learned about Baden’s extraordinary profession after his return, the Knight of Yanyuan.

"Greetings to you~"

The minimum qualifications of the sailors recruited are all excellent. What is worth celebrating is that two more chefs have come to the ship. It seems that poor Robert can finally be relieved from the heavy work.

Historian Luden should have a lot in common with Damian, who is an oceanographer. The two pharmacists can serve as Curzon's assistants, and the new navigator Jin can also relieve Yasir a lot of pressure.

In addition, there is a sailor who looks very special, the whale whisperer named Arman. This seems to be an extraordinary profession that can communicate with marine creatures, especially whales. Its value at sea is definitely not small. Overall Generally speaking, the results of this recruitment are very good, at least Qiao Yang is very satisfied.

"Without courtesy, Baden will stay, while the others go to report to Tina, and then call Thane over."

"Yes, Captain."

The recruitment of sailors is more like a large random card pool. You can find any occupation in it. The arrival of this group of people also makes the Black Candle Fleet's heritage deeper.

Soon, with the sound of hurried footsteps, Thern's figure appeared in the captain's cabin. He looked at his familiar friend, his eyes suddenly turned red, he took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then said with a smile:

"Long time no see, Baden."

"Yes, it has indeed been a long time. It's unbelievable. There will still be a day when I can become a human again."

Baden clenched his fists. This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made him a little uncomfortable. Everything was like a dream.

"Okay, don't act like you're sleepwalking. What's going on with your heart? This seems... to be the heart of the Balor Balrog."

Qiao Yang interrupted the two brothers' reminiscing and asked about the doubts in his heart. Although Baden looked no different from human beings, his unusual heart really made him a little worried. Even if you are special, let it go. How do you fight with such an obvious weakness?

"You are right, this is the heart of Balor Balrog, but it is also my heart."

Baden did not deny this. After answering in the affirmative, he continued:

"My extraordinary profession has undergone some, um... wonderful changes. I was once a fourth-level knight, and now I am a knight of Yanyuan. All changes are because of this heart."

"I separated the devil's soul, but I did not separate the devil's blood. If I have to say it, I should be a special demon now. This heart is the source of my power. If necessary, I can even transform. Become the Balor Fire Demon."

He felt the inherited knowledge of his new profession and roughly explained his current status.

"You don't have to worry that this will become my weakness. Although I hate to admit it, this film, which looks very fragile, is probably the hardest part of my body. If the enemy is misled by this, he will definitely pay a heavy price. .”

Baden helplessly spread his hands and showed a cheerful smile. This result is actually not bad for him. After all, he has been a demon for hundreds of years. He is already familiar with various innate abilities derived from demons. If it is lost suddenly, it will affect the combat effectiveness. This is good now.

Qiao Yang nodded to express his understanding.

Compared with Thane, a useless guy, Baden, who was promoted to the legendary demon early, has become inseparable from this identity. Even if he is resurrected through ship recruitment, he will inevitably bring back part of the demon's power. The one that belongs to Barlow The heart of the Balrog is the best proof.

"Can your heart be hidden? If not, some covert actions in the future may not be able to take you with it."

"It's not possible now, but I can control it freely after I advance to the third level. It doesn't matter. Captain, you don't have to worry about me. Being able to return to the human world is already the greatest gift to me."

He smiled freely. At this time, Baden really enjoyed every breath of air, which was beautiful and real.

"Okay, then you go back first, Thane, and I'll leave the rest to you. Let your good brothers get acquainted with the fleet."

"Thank you for your efforts."

Than bowed in greeting. If anyone was to say who was the most excited now, it was definitely him. With the return of his friend, the entangled nightmare finally dissipated. He could feel that the last impurity in his mind had completely disappeared. His sword blade has been given a new lease of life!

The recruitment of human crew members was over, and next was the demon crew. He was looking forward to it, could he recruit a Balor Balrog?

There were a total of sixteen recruitment opportunities. Qiao Yang studied with his eyes closed. A beam of light fell without any obvious distinction, and bursts of shrill howls reached his ears, carrying endless desire for destruction.

This scene is very similar to yesterday's recruitment of the devil crew. It can only be said that it is very local.

Of course, this is not important. He just wants to know if there is a Balor Balrog in the demon crew.

As the dark beam of light dissipated, the recruitment results appeared in front of them.

"You have recruited 2 Berserker Demons."

"You have recruited Shadow Demon x2."

"You have recruited 2 Flo Demons."

"You have recruited 2 Sizzling Demons."

"You have recruited 2 Spider Demons."

"You have recruited 2 demon-hunting spiders."

"Congratulations on recruiting the soul-killing demon - Tumu!"

"Congratulations on recruiting the six-armed snake demon - Faredhat!"

"Congratulations on recruiting the Balor Demon, Roz!"

"Congratulations on recruiting the Balrog-Karros!"

The expected Balor Balrog did not arrive as expected, but the Balor Demon and Balor, who are both high-level demons, were recruited. They all have the opportunity to evolve into Balor Balrog, which is very abstract.

There are also two high-level demons, one is the soul-striking demon encountered in the eighth round of demon trials, and the other is the six-armed snake demon who is related to Naga. The rest are all medium-level demons, and one is a low-level demon. When the devil didn't show up for recruitment, Qiao Yang couldn't help but be extremely satisfied.

Of course, before that, he had to let these guys with no respect in their bones recognize who is the boss!

As a burst of violent pressure descended, these demons couldn't even speak and fell to the ground. This time was not long, only about five minutes.

In the end, when Qiao Yang personally killed a stubborn hissing demon, these unruly guys became his most loyal supporters, offering loyalty that went deep into his soul.

"I have met the great master!"

This chapter has a little too much data, but since there are enough words in this chapter, you are not allowed to criticize me, hehe (﹃).

Thanks to the book friends for their monthly votes, thank you for wandering.
