Dafei continued to read the diary. Finally, there was something else.
— February 8, 150, cloudy. We have been at sea for more than two months. We haven't even seen a single pirate. We are going crazy after being cooped up in the hold every day! Our ship is too fast and we can't fish for fun. Life is so boring. Robles suggested that we play cards. I thought about it. There is nothing in the navigation regulations that forbids playing cards. So let's just play a game. Anyway, we are in a stinky and stuffy hold. The captain and first officers rarely come down to inspect. But even if they come down, the sound of their boots will remind us.
— February 9, 150, sunny. Robles owes me 14 gold coins. Eric owes me 10 gold coins.
— February 10, 150, sunny. Robles won today but still owes me 4 gold coins. Eric lost again. He owes me 15 gold coins.
— February 11, 150, cloudy. Bastard! Eric was lucky today. Instead, I owe him 5 gold coins!
Damn! I finally got back to the good habit of writing a diary every day. But can you be any more bored? Where is your wife? Where is your daughter? Keep reading!
— February 14, 150, today, while playing cards, someone suddenly came down! It was Earl Makar! He greeted us cannoneers in a friendly manner. He even gave us some fun little magic gadgets to relieve our boredom! I can't believe that a noble mage like Earl Makar would come to our stinky and stuffy hold. Furthermore, he is so approachable! His magnanimity is really admirable!
Dafei was excited! Makar! Keep reading! After that, there was another pile of gambling debts, omitted!
— March 16, 150, rainstorm! 9 pm,? The lookout has called the police! We have encountered pirates! I am excited! Finally, it is my turn to make a move! All of us cannoneers are excited and ready! 11 pm, our ship got rid of the pirates. We were excited for nothing!
The gambling debts in the middle are skipped.
— April 2, 150, sunny. 10 pm, encountered pirates, then got rid of pirates. I am thinking, our ship is so fast. Our sailors are the elites of the empire. With such an excellent captain and first officer, will we cannoneers never have a chance to make a move?
— April 11, 150, rain! Hello, pirates! Goodbye, pirates!
April 17, 150, Rain! The continuous rainy season for many days had caused our sailors to suffer from rheumatism. Whenever they walked, their knees would ache. This feeling was really painful.
— April 18, 150, Rain. Today, Count Makar came to the lower deck again and brought us a barrel of wine to treat rheumatism. The color of the wine was strange and bitter, but it had a miraculous effect. After drinking a cup, our legs were healed, and our legs were filled with strength! Earl Makar was truly admirable!
His legs were filled with strength? Turning into a jumping zombie, right? He skipped over the gambling debt and continued to flip! Oh, there's content! The page was filled with words!
— June 3, 150, sunny! This day arrived unexpectedly. We entered the region occupied by Naga, and a battle was unavoidable! We've been out at sea for almost half a year, and it's finally our turn! In the intense chase, I killed 6 Naga, 4 Robles, 3 Erick, 5 Robins, 5 Joey, and 3 Hawk. What's worse was that the Naga leader escaped on the heavily injured Sea Dragon! If our ballistae had a longer range and greater power, we would have been able to hunt down that Sea Dragon and reap unimaginable rewards. I would have also been able to obtain great achievements! I missed the hard-earned opportunity to establish a great achievement in the past half a year. I couldn't feel happy about tonight's commendation ceremony. This battle revealed a serious problem with accuracy!
We were used to fighting against pirates. Our ballistae's targets were usually large ships or sea monsters that surfaced from the water. We didn't have to worry about missing. However, against the Naga warriors that were chasing us at high speed, we were powerless.
Firstly, it was because the ship was constantly shaking.
Secondly, it was the refraction of light in the water, making it difficult to aim. When fishermen use their harpoons to catch fish, they tend to aim. Now, it seems that this is a very important skill. It's a pity that I looked down on fishermen and didn't master this skill. However, Naga were naturally proficient in this skill. They could hide in the water and shoot accurate bone arrows at us, but it was difficult for us to accurately hit them.
Finally, the water greatly reduced the power of the ballistae. This was unbelievable! However, from my calculations, this was indeed the truth. The power of the ballistae shot into the water decreased by 1/3 to 1/2! This was equivalent to armor with 20 defense points! How could such a weak existence like water achieve such a strong effect? I think it should be similar to using flat pebbles to skip on water. The stone pieces would bounce on the water surface.
How to solve this problem? I'm too tired today. I have to gather everyone tomorrow to discuss this problem.
。。。。。
Dafei was excited! There's hope! Hitting a moving target with a ballista was indeed a problem. After Juan discovered the Pirate King's ultimate skill, he began to study it. After this ballista captain discovered the problem, he must also research a divine skill! As expected, the mystery was in this diary!
Dafei hurriedly flipped to the next page!
– June 4th, 150. In order to celebrate the achievements of our gunner yesterday, let's play a little bigger … …
Damn! Where's your research project! Dafei flipped all the way!
– August 9th, 150. Fog! At 9 pm, the sea was dark and covered in fog. In this terrible environment, we were attacked by an unknown sea monster, and we were completely helpless! I could only attack randomly and futilely according to the sound of the waves. At this moment, a gust of wind dispersed the fog. It was Earl Makar's magical spell! Finally, we saw a monster the size of a small island chasing after us, spewing clouds of mist! Heavens, I've never seen such a huge monster! But what was worse was that we couldn't attack the enemy directly behind the ship from this angle! At this moment, a huge fireball fell from the sky and repelled the monster. It was Earl Makar's magical spell again! It was really too powerful! I feel that I should ask him for some advice!
Makar appeared again! This gambling addict finally understood. Dafei hurriedly flipped to the next page.
– August 10th, 150. Today, I took the initiative to visit Earl Makar with reverence and nervousness. The Earl was very kind and enthusiastic to receive me in his study. Although Earl Makar had always been very kind to us, after seeing his power with my own eyes, his kindness made me feel especially excited. There were many books in Earl Makar's study, and there were many bottles on the table. He was really a mysterious and wise scholar! I asked about the sea monster yesterday. Earl Makar said that it might be the legendary sea monster that could create fog, Leviathan, but he couldn't be sure. Heavens, if it really was Leviathan, then Earl Makar was the powerful existence that defeated Leviathan … …
Seeing this, Dafei was suddenly shocked!
Leviathan! The official information had announced that it was a level 8 sea creature. Its attributes were unknown, but it was an existence that surpassed level 7 soldiers such as angels, demons, and dragons! Legend had it that God created the world in seven days. In the first six days, he created all things and the laws of space and time. On the seventh day, he created two god-ranked giant beasts. The male was called Beaumont, known as the overlord of the land, and the female was called Leviathan, known as the overlord of the sea!
And this Makar was actually able to repel Leviathan. How powerful was he? Brother's Epic quest was to fight against such a heaven-defying expert? That's right, Makar's study? Generally speaking, the officers would definitely live on the upper floors of the ship. In other words, the room of the BOSS that Blood Waves fought was his study? It was the study of a powerful mage that could defeat Leviathan. Was the reward as simple as a magic book?
Now that brother could use the ballista, dealing with that evil spirit would definitely not be a problem. But the problem was that such a huge thing like the ballista couldn't fight in such a small space! This was a problem. It was still the original plan, a sneak attack from behind. It had been a long time, but there seemed to be no footsteps above his head. He was a level 5 person, so he wasn't in a hurry. Then he continued to read the diary:
。。。。。 Of course, the Count's time was very precious, so I asked him for advice on how to solve the problem of the ballista hitting. Count Makar fell into deep thought, then said that when he thought it through, he would definitely come find me. Before leaving, he gave me a very expensive bottle of wine. I was too excited!
As expected! It was completely unrealistic to count on this gambler to do scientific research. It was still the great mage who was more reliable. After all, the god-ranked skill of the navigator was also thought up by Makar. I continued to read.
— — January 17, 151, sunny. Today is an exciting day. Count Makar came again. Not only did he bring good wine, but he also brought a solution to the ballista hitting! I didn't expect him to take it so seriously! After such a long time, I thought he had forgotten!
This is really a plan that shocked all of us! This is a design plan for a new type of magic ballista. The wood for the body of the ballista must be made from the wood used to make high-level magic staffs. The steel ballista and protective armor must also be replaced with a mithril alloy with good magic conductivity. The body of the ballista must be inlaid with 12 rechargeable magic stones, as well as 12 high-level magic arrays. Even the ballista must be specially enchanted! The effect of such an expensive and astonishing ballista was that it could allow an ordinary gunner who didn't know any magic to shoot a powerful shot that ignored obstacles and fog! There was even no need to aim carefully. The magic ballista would automatically search for the enemy under the drive of the magic array! Even creatures hiding in other planes would not be able to escape the attack! Whether it was Leviathan, Naga, or the shaking of the ship, none of them were a problem!
Such an existence was simply like the divine weapon of the Kingdom of the Elves, the phantom bow. Thus, the Count named this new ballista Phantom Ballista!
This was truly a genius, magical, and great idea! It was a pity that we didn't have the equipment, tools, or materials on the ship, so we didn't have the conditions to implement the plan. However, I was determined that as long as we could complete this expedition, I would follow Earl Makar and do my best to complete the earl's great idea!
。。。。。
— System Notification: You have obtained information about the new Ballista, Phantom Ballista!
— — Newbie Prompt: After obtaining the weapon's information, the player has triggered the weapon's research and development storyline. Players can develop the weapon themselves or learn from the relevant NPCs to obtain the weapon.
It finally came out! This Boss was different because it gave me information about a new type of Ballista! This skill book that was the hardest to obtain in the world was worth it. Although the goal was Floating Clouds, but Floating Clouds was still more reliable than Cloudless.
He had enough time to flip through the book. Dafei directly flipped to the last two pages.
April 19, 156, the storm is coming!
— 20 April 156, an unknown fleet appeared in a storm.
The diary ended here. There was still one day left to write. Did he die?
Dafei sighed. This pitiful fellow probably didn't have a wife or daughter. What was even more tragic was that he didn't even know how he died. He didn't even have time to leave behind his last words. Fortunately, his diary was filled with praise and worship for Makar.
Wait, since this Phantom Ballista was designed by Makar, then Makar is the relevant NPC. What would happen if I gave this diary to Makar? He would definitely be happy, right? After all, this diary was filled with records of his achievements. It was the iron-clad proof of Makar's glory. He was the only survivor without any proof! If he was happy, it wouldn't be impossible for him to give the Phantom Ballista to me, right?
However, I have already accepted the Navigator's Epic Quest to fight against Makar. If I bring this quest with me to meet Makar, will something happen?
