We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea? - #117 - Chapter 117: Return with a full load and strengthen again!

Chapter 117 Returns with a full load, strengthened again!

 “Save people?”

Xia En’s heart moved and asked: “Who should be saved?”

 “Caesar IX.”

 Jack explained: “In fact, the current [Rust King] is not the original owner of this city.”

“He was merely a usurper, a greedy tyrant, and it was only after he came to power that the rule of labor service began.”

Xia En looked thoughtful: “So, Caesar IX is the king who has been usurped?”

 “Yes and no.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Jack also knew that his statement was a bit difficult to understand, and immediately said: “The original Caesar I was indeed the city lord who was usurped by the [Rusty King].”

“But the Caesars after him are only rebels who inherited his memory, character and legacy.”

 He ​​originally had the idea of ​​​​spawning monsters and leveling up in [Rust Waste City], so it was natural to go to the “high-level area” – [Snake in the Atrium].

“Of course, I won’t let you work in vain. I can help you collect precious metals, steam devices, or other treasures.”

As an aboriginal, Jack definitely has more ways to collect metals and other materials than he, an outsider, does.

 “So, what do you want?”

By the way, it would be best if we could rescue Caesar IX. If we couldn’t, there would be no loss.

The blue light in Jack’s eyes was unusually deep: “Some people say that this is the backdoor that Caesar set up in the mechanical puppet.”

 But when he thought about it, he had just beheaded the affairs officer of [Lord of Rust]…

“The strange thing is that only one Caesar will appear at the same time, and when this Caesar dies, a new successor will be born.”

 “Wait, memory and personality?”

 “And character is determined by memory.”

“Besides, if you escape this service, there will be another time, and the next time.”

“There is also this [Secret Gold], which I will also give to you as a thank you gift and an early deposit.”

 After hearing this, Xia En felt quite moved.

This is exactly what he needs.

 —To put it bluntly, this is a cooperation model similar to that of the Sea Tribe in Coral City.

“But no matter what the truth is, generation after generation of Caesars are born, and without exception, they will all embark on the path of resisting the [Rust King].”

“Its appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Only by overthrowing the rule of this usurping tyrant can we have a chance of survival.”

“Yes, the Caesar in each life was actually a humanoid machine like me, one of the ordinary residents of the city.”

Besides, can people who have been transformed into machines still give birth to future generations?

“Their behavior and character will continue to move closer to the city lord during the process of awakening their memories, and they will become a brand new Caesar.”

 The two hands quickly clasped together.

[Gluttony Steam Turbine] The current number of cores that can be assembled is five. Previously, it was only equipped with a fourth-generation steam heart, and its efficiency has greatly improved.

“The Rust King was so afraid of Caesar IX that he didn’t dare to let him die or live, so he imprisoned him on the [Snake of the Atrium] and used it as living fuel.”

 “Heart of Steam of the Sixth Generation!?”

 They issue tasks, and Shane gets paid for completing them.

“Only one day, they will suddenly wake up to the memory of Caesar.”

Shaan silently chewed the shocking information and swallowed it for digestion.

The only problem is that Xia En will offend the current ruler of the city, [The Rusty Lord].

Xia En suddenly realized something and said in surprise: “Could it be that…”

“The heart of steam from the sixth generation, this is a good thing that you can’t even see on the sea.”

　　The voice coming from under Jack’s metal body was firm: “The clerk dies here, and the [Rust Lord] will definitely not let it go.”

Hearing this, Xia En looked happy.

“So, I would like to ask you to rescue Caesar IX, or…give him relief!”

“This [Ghost Gold] is also a good thing. It is an activated metal. It is extremely compatible and can be used to strengthen almost any device.”

Not long after, Jack took out two beautiful brass spheres, a dark gold nugget, and a special mechanical device.

 Okay, the problem is solved.

“Some people say that this is a terrible and crazy curse.”

“And among them, Caesar IX is only one step away from success.”

This explanation still sounds a bit strange.

“Finally, there is an underwater sound-producing device, with which communication can also be carried out in sea water.”

Shaan stretched out his hand: “The deal is done.”

If these two sixth-generation cores are installed, it will obviously make the speed of the [Black Swan] soar again!

Xia En was not polite and took the gifts directly and asked.

 “Then how can I contact you in the future?”

Jack thought for a while and said: “There is only one black spire in the copper and iron area. I will send someone to wait at the bottom of the tower.”

 …

 …

 Not long.

 Shane left the bar.

However, he was not in a hurry to attack the monsters in the [Snake of the Atrium]. Instead, he first returned his consciousness to the original body on the [Black Swan] and let Joey and An dive into the sea.

 After the last storm, Joey is no longer afraid of the sea water.

 In other words, she has accepted the Siren bloodline in her body and said goodbye to her past self.

 That’s why I volunteered to dive into the sea, hoping to be a help to Mr. Captain.

 Xia En is naturally very satisfied with his strong enthusiasm for his employees, and there is no reason to suppress them.

 As for the existence of the projected body?

To be honest, Shane no longer cares about being exposed to the crew.

 As a Mystic Pathfinder, it is normal for me to have some special abilities!

How Joey and others will understand it is their business.     After a moment.

As Joey and An continued to dive, they saw a dark and profound figure.

In the dim sea water, the already deep body is vaguely integrated with the environment, indistinguishable from each other.

 It’s like…this deep sea is his home field!

The mysterious and restrained temperament reminds people of the dark ocean abyss or the vast starry sky.

“Is this Mr. Captain in the sea?”

Joy’s eyes widened and he was filled with surprise.

Oddly enough, a captain in this state should be a bit scary.

But Joey has a special sense of closeness inexplicably, as if he has a very comfortable aura about him?

 “I really want to smell it…”

Joy’s face turned red and he quickly shook his head to dispel this bold idea.

Xia En didn’t know what was going on in this little girl’s head, so he spoke directly using the underwater sound-producing device.

“Our goal this time is to collect the forging and smelting tools Feiya needs. These should not be difficult to find in the factory area.”

“If you encounter a human-shaped metal puppet, please notify me as soon as possible and don’t wait for a fight.”

Although Fei Ya is an excellent steam mechanic, it is difficult for a woman to make a meal without straw.

The supporting equipment on the [Black Swan] is obviously not as complete as that on Silver Moon Island, so the first wave of raids was carried out in the [Factory Area].

Of course, Shane could have entrusted this matter to Jack.

 But if you owe too many favors, it will be very troublesome to pay them back.

 For trivial matters beyond the scope of trading, it is better to resolve them yourself.

 Subsequently, a group of three people began to search patiently in the engineering area of ​​the city.

I have to say that after transforming into a mermaid form, Joey’s movements in the sea are extremely flexible and agile, only slightly inferior to Shane’s.

With the three of them acting together, the efficiency was naturally greatly improved. It only took half an hour to find all the tools Fei Ya requested.

During this period, they also encountered a few crazy mechanical puppets.

But with An as the tank, Joey as the mage and support, and Shane as the main attacker, they pose no threat at all.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 simultaneously!

Xia En pulled out the sword from a puppet frozen by Joey, and absorbed the [Secret Sea Crystal] in its body, thinking to himself.

“It seems that it would be good to form a team occasionally for next time.”

“In terms of efficiency alone, it’s no worse than me upgrading alone.”

“but…”

Looking at An, who was moving a little slowly, Xia En knew that he needed to go to the sea to take a breather.

 Different from the projection body that can commit suicide at will, there are undoubtedly more factors to consider when taking the crew into the sea, as well as protecting their safety.

For now, crews can only explore these safer areas.

With a thought flashing through his mind, Xia En quickly ordered the two of them to put the loot into the space ring and bring it back to the ship, while he walked towards the railway track not far away.

 The shaking ground, the undercurrents in the sea water, and the rising water temperature all indicate…

　　【Snake of the Atrium】, is coming soon!

The penetrating sound of the whistle echoed in the sea water and pierced Xia En’s eardrums.

 The turbulent undercurrent roared in, causing Xia En’s body to shake slightly.

In the scattered pale light, a giant steel snake burst into his field of vision.

 …

 …

  【Submarine is over! 】

Shaan opened his eyes in the captain’s cabin and cursed secretly: “It’s actually a torpedo?”

 The first challenge to the [Snake of the Atrium] failed without any surprise.

He didn’t even get on the train before he was blown to pieces by the torpedoes fired from all directions, and died in a miserable manner.

However, as long as you have experienced such a sneak attack once, you will be able to react next time.

Shaan silently kept this grudge in his heart and then came to the deck.

Joy and the other three are excitedly counting the harvest of this dive.

“Molten core…small boiler…pressurized pump…metal capsule…”

 “Oh, I actually found this thing for you! How cool!”

Feiya spat out one term after another that was extremely unfamiliar to Xia En, and her pretty little face was full of excitement.

“Although some are a little rusty, they are all still usable.”

“It deserves to be the capital of steam! With these, it’s no problem to build a small laboratory!”

“Mr. Captain, thank you for your hard work.”

Xia En chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, there’s still a big surprise.”

 Speaking, he asked Joey to take out the yellow heart of steam.

The metal structure seems to be constantly contracting, beating like a heart.

 “This is… the Heart of Steam!”

Feiya’s eyes flashed: “Is it still a model I’ve never seen before?”

 “If you install this on a steam turbine, you may be able to stimulate some new features!”

Xia En raised his eyebrows: “New characteristics?”

“Just like people have different talents, steam machinery also has different special properties…”

“Hey, I can’t explain it clearly in words, but you will understand it after installation!”

Feiya thought of it and did it. She hurriedly took the heart of steam to the depths of the cabin and began to strengthen it.
