"Boom!"

More than 3 meters high water waves beat hard in the bow, burst out all over the sky.

After driving out of the reef circle outside the Haichao islands, the waves become more fierce. The tens of meters long "Haichao" is like a toy in the hands of a giant, churning up and down the sea.

Renault stood on the deck of the bow and looked at the "left wing" connecting the hull.

The 30 meter long wooden boat has an amazing range of bumps. Sometimes it is completely out of the sea, hanging on the water, and sometimes the whole bow is completely submerged in the water, passing through the waves.

If the keel frame of the wooden ship were not made of metal, and the main frame of the "ship wing" was made of star blue ferroalloy, I am afraid they would not be able to withstand such a degree of damage.

The destination of Haichao is Midway Island.

Haichao archipelago is more than 1500 nautical miles away from Huiguang continent, which is nearly 2800 kilometers.

As a new type of thermal magic power ship, even with half sail, Haichao needs at least 550 tons of heavy oil to travel to and from the glow continent, which has exceeded its carrying capacity.

Therefore, if you want to go to the mainland glow, there must be a transit station.

Midway Island is the transit station chosen by Renault. Of course, the name also comes from the Lord who has the habit of naming.

The main tasks of Haichao''s trip are as follows: the first is to build a warehouse on the island; the second is to transport a batch of materials, including 200 tons of heavy oil, dozens of tons of grain, cement, steel and other living materials.

This kind of transportation task will be carried out several times, until the island''s heavy oil reserves exceed 800 tons, Renault will officially start the "return to the mainland" operation.

The purpose of his return is not to fight with the black orcs, let alone fight for territory with them. The total population of this race is more than 30 million, and Reno''s territory is just over 2000 people, even less than a fraction of the others. He has not overstated his ability to this extent.

Renault just wants to know the current situation of the mainland on the spot, and personally investigate the black Orc tribes going south, so as to decide the next strategy.

After several months in the secluded and isolated tidal islands, he was eager to learn about the outside world.

In addition, Renault also plans to take hundreds of people from the mainland. Anyway, they have all gone. Why don''t they get some people by the way?

At present, what the Haichao islands lack most is population. They need to farm, industrialize and push back the black orcs. The more the population, the better.

What''s more, most of the civilians who are still on the mainland are poor people. It''s better to save one than to leave it to the black orcs as rations

In the early snowy month, with cold currents going south, the temperature falls below 5 degrees, and it will fall below the freezing point sooner or later, and the sea breeze is freezing to the bone.

Although the cold wind was unbearable, the watchman on the mast did not dare to slack off. He kept a close eye on the sea ahead and raised his telescope to observe the situation from time to time.

The weather was so bad that the watchmen had to take turns. Each sailor was on duty for one hour. It didn''t seem long, but it took a long time for every sailor on duty to recover from the freezing state.

There are six other sailors on the deck waiting at any time. Chief mate Ludford is also among them. In case of emergency, they will be responsible for lowering the half raised sail.

In addition, Ludford and others have to pay attention to the situation in other directions. After all, only one lookout can not observe all the surrounding conditions.

Their situation is much better than the lookout hand, at least they don''t have to face the cold wind all the time, they can often shrink in the corner to warm up.

This "observation post" configuration of up to eight people is far beyond the normal, but it is very necessary.

Because over the years, no sailboat has ever dared to go out to sea in the first snow month, and no one can predict what emergencies will happen. The more the number of observation posts, the greater the probability of discovering the danger ahead of time.

The cold wind that made the sailors feel miserable, but Renault didn''t feel it. He still stood aloof in the wind, overlooking the gloomy sky and endless waves.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of footsteps in the distance. With his keen hearing, Renault immediately recognized that the footsteps came from two people. One of them was heavier than the others, and it was Musi''s footsteps.

He looked back and saw a shiny head coming out of the stairs under the bow deck. It was mousse''s trademark bald head.

Renault showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. After mousse was promoted, he didn''t know what was going on. His head was completely burnt out and no longer had hair. It''s been more than half a month, and he can''t see any stubble on his scalp.

But moss didn''t care about it. For him, it saved the trouble of washing his hair. Anyway, as an extraordinary person, no one dared to laugh at him face to face.

"Lord, there is a discovery in lanster..." After seeing Renault''s figure, Muse immediately yelled.

Since he made the vow of transcendence, except for a few private occasions, Muse never called Renault''s name directly in public, but only called him "Lord".Although Renault let mousse not be polite, he was always obstinate and left Renault helpless.

Behind him, a burly man with a magic air gun bowed respectfully. He had impressive red hair and a square face. He looked honest and honest.

He was lanster, the father of the young ladies whom Renault had met in Redstone.

Renault has always been very fond of this kind of subordinates who train their children to be loyal to the Lord, so he specially smiles at lanster, which makes lanster a little flattered.

Mu Si nudged lanster''s back, lanster immediately understood, he stepped forward two steps, said in a low voice: "Lord, as soon as this evening, as late as tomorrow morning, there should be a big storm in this area."

Muse put in a sentence: "Lord, this boy is good at forecasting the weather..."

Reno raised his eyebrows and looked at lanster in surprise: "Oh, what unique skill? Tell me about it? "

Lanster hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Lord, I can''t tell why. Sometimes I have this strange feeling..."

Renault had an idea in his mind. He couldn''t help glancing at muse. Muse nodded to him for sure.

Talent!

It''s a gift for weather forecasting.

I didn''t expect that lanster had a rare talent.

In this world, very few people seem to be especially favored by heaven and earth. They are born with some strange abilities.

For example, some people have a strong affinity for free magic power, and their cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary people. For example, some people have very strong language ability, speak very fast, and even spit words clearly. For another example, some people''s hair grows very fast, and their toughness is not much weaker than steel wire. They can make a fortune by selling their hair alone.

According to Renault''s understanding, talent can actually be understood as a special gene mutation caused by magic power, which is similar to the mutation of mutant in X-Men.

There are various kinds of talents, some of which are not easy to be detected, others are easy to distinguish, and lanster''s talent is the latter.

However, only a small number of talents will directly enhance combat effectiveness. Most talents are more inclined to auxiliary ability. Even a few talents are more like curiosity, that is, they are interesting to watch, but they are useless. For example, the pupils will change color.

Talent does not only exist in humans, but also in other creatures. The extraordinary giant turtle killed by Renault last time, its ability to control gravity, is a talent.

Renault also guessed that Muse must have noticed this for a long time, and must have repeatedly verified it, otherwise he would not have brought lancet to see him.

It''s also the most typical style of Moss''s work - extremely reliable.

Muse''s meaning is also very obvious: to collect and recommend talents for the Lord.

For moss, the benefits of doing so are very obvious. On the one hand, it can make the Lord value himself more, and his position can be more stable. On the other hand, the stronger the territory is, the more hopeful he is to defeat the powerful black orcs, or even conquer the whole world.

At that time, as Renault''s top horse, he will naturally get a huge piece of cake.

As for the recommended talents, will they become competitors one day?

Are you kidding? Are you a fool to be lord? How can the Lord reuse the unjust person who even the introducer dare to bite back?
