Chapter 264 White Bat(2/2)
The captain checked several times and nodded. All the data was more detailed than what he wrote himself. Various mathematical calculations were extremely rigorous.
"Hot, I didn't say a big talk... It's too difficult to be a captain. Not only do you need to have huge amounts of knowledge, but you also need to have excellent psychological qualities. Look at those sailors, they will be depressed and lost, and can express their emotions, but the captain cannot."
"The captain must be fearless and like a real iron man. Even if he makes a wrong choice, he must swallow it in his stomach."
"It's a pity that my sons can't do it at all. It's too difficult for them to get a title."
After saying this, the captain left with a depressed look on his face.
Indeed, as time goes by, more and more sailors have developed symptoms of fear of the ocean.
In 289 days, there will always be some exceptions.
Five sailors were already ill and died, and the other three were lying on the hospital bed, and they could only get a very simple treatment. They breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if they could survive.
There are seven or eight other people who are on the verge of collapse because of fear of the ocean and long-term mental stress.
However, these are normal. According to the old sailor Duncan, every sailing, especially traveling to the sunny sea, will eliminate at least 50% of sailors!
"No one knows whether you will go crazy tomorrow. Maybe yesterday was fine, but today is crazy. The usual way is to throw him into the sea and save him from going crazy."
"It's close to the next destination." Duncan took a sip of wine and rubbed his blood-stained eyes. "Hot, your psychological quality is really good... Alas, it seems that my first time is so fearless."
Yes, the ignorant is fearless.
...
On the 482nd day, the steamship had passed 16 destinations.
During this period, I experienced a big storm and a huge water monster, but fortunately, I survived it without any danger.
Every time you pass by a destination, some of the supplies will be sold and a large number of coffins will be moved in. The entire warehouse is full of storage.
Facing these coffins, Fang Yuhao always feels chilling behind him every time he cleans the warehouse.
Except for the coal that was enough to return, all the steel and local specialties were sold.
In the captain's log, Fang Yuhao estimated the prices in various places. During this voyage, the captain could earn at least 30,000 gold coins!
Of course, not all these gold coins were taken by the captain alone. Many of them had shares, including the first mate, the second mate, the great wizard doctor, and some nobles in the Stone City.
The accompanying risks are also huge. In nearly five hundred days, one quarter of the sailors have been replaced. They went crazy in the middle and threw them on the land and replaced another group.
The captain was quite kind and did not owe a single child. As for the sailors who died of illness, there would be a pension for their families.
"This is a successful trip, except for encountering the strange evil god at the beginning. This is the sailing. Even if it goes smoothly, someone will still die."
At this moment, a sudden riot occurred on the deck outside, and many people were shouting. Fang Yuhao walked out of the room and found a white sea bat parked on the mast. Many sailors were excited to capture the sea bat.
This is one of the rare entertainment items.
Sea bats, a creature with high IQ, can help humans catch fish and find land if trained well.
It can also be sold at a high price on the market.
Especially white sea bats, rare species... Seven or eight gold coins are no problem!
"Catch it!"
"Don't anger it first. I'll make a net bag!" The sailors kept thinking about their ideas, laughing and discussing how to enjoy this unexpected fortune.
As a result, a few minutes later, the great wizard ran over angrily and roared at the sailors: "Don't die! Get out of here, you all get out of here!"
Then he kept kowtowing to the white bat.
The great wizard is a very superstitious person. He has a habitual strange smile on his face and will get angry if he makes a small matter. And he always brings a human soul to tinker with him. The witchcraft here has not formed a system, and it is all inexplicable empiricism.
Even Fang Yuhao subconsciously was far away from this guy. Almost all sailors were the same, a little scared of him.
There are countless taboos in the sea, and if you do it all, you will not be able to go into the sea. To be honest, Fang Yuhao did not see anything strange about the sea bats.
After a while, the white bat spread its wings and flew away. Everyone felt a little regretful.
But then, something strange happened!
On the 483rd day, a sailor on duty disappeared. Although the steam ship "Juyang" is very large, the space is still limited. He disappeared alive and searched for several rounds but couldn't find it...
