I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 51: Nadewilo
After carefully putting away the commemorative iron blade, Rogel prepared to try forging one himself.
However, just as he turned to grab the materials, he noticed Lina standing at the doorway, looking at him with a pout.
"Uh... why are you up so early?"
Rogel scratched his head, bewildered.
"You can thank our excellent blacksmith aboard the Gelin for that."
Lina rolled her eyes at this, ruffling her slightly messy blue hair.
She had been sleeping soundly, only to be woken by the clanging sounds of forging.
Yet Lina didn’t let this make her grouchy. Instead of disturbing Rogel as he crafted, she quietly observed from the door.
Rogel, upon hearing this, suddenly realized the situation and felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Sorry, sorry."
"How about you go back to sleep then?"
Rogel tentatively asked.
"Sleep now? It’s already dark."
"I just checked the position; we’re almost at Nadewilo. Are you planning to continue sailing or take a rest there?"
Lina yawned, then thoughtfully examined the nautical map.
Rogel looked at the sky outside — indeed, before he knew it, evening had fallen.
He recalled some information about Nadewilo Island.
Nadewilo is a large island, with a population of tens of thousands, renowned for its arena, attracting many voyagers to stop there.
Arena...
Perhaps we can find new companions in Nadewilo.
Gelin has too few crew members right now.
"Let’s rest for a while."
Rogel shared his plans with Lina.
Lina nodded in agreement.
She certainly wouldn’t oppose new members joining.
After planning, Lina glanced at Rogel with a twinkle in her eye.
"Mr. Blacksmith, how about you forge a weapon for me too?"
Hearing this, Rogel was taken aback but then solemnly bowed to her.
"Miss Lina, I believe you don’t need a weapon."
"Because I am your blade of protection."
"Go away, that’s too cheesy!"
Rogel’s antics made Lina look at him with disdain.
It was clear she had developed some immunity to Rogel’s playful teasing, but her cheeks still flushed a bit.
...
After Lina left the forge room, Rogel glanced at the Sea Spirit Potion in the item inventory.
He didn’t plan to give it to Lina now.
Because the Sea Spirit Potion has consumption requirements.
And he couldn’t see Lina’s specific attributes.
If Lina recklessly consumed the potion without matching attributes, who knows what the consequences might be.
As for using save and load features for experiments?
He couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing to Lina, who, in his eyes, was a real living person, not just a feelingless NPC or monster.
Therefore, Rogel decided to wait for a while.
Perhaps one day during cave exploration, he’ll find an item that can show specific attributes?
Or, after gaining enough Extraordinary Knowledge, it would be better than recklessly attempting.
In the meantime, he would fulfill his responsibilities as a captain.
After settling these thoughts, Rogel returned to his room and lay down on the bed.
The next day.
Rogel looked at the forge before him.
He was preparing for manual forging, recently he had become quite enamored with blacksmithing.
[You choose to forge manually.]
[Forge target: Iron Sword.]
[Required materials: Pig Iron ×3, High-quality Wood ×1.]
[Success probability: 25%～65%.]
[Manual forging in progress...]
Fully focused, Rogel immersed his spirit into the forging process.
He recalled the relevant forging steps as he worked seriously.
Heating, shaping, cooling, hammering...
Rogel was very attentive.
With the accompanying sound of clanging, Rogel gradually became familiar with the rhythm.
Wiping off sweat, Rogel removed his shirt, casually throwing it to the side.
Finally, as time quietly passed, a brand-new iron sword appeared in Rogel’s hand.
[Forging successful, you obtained Iron Sword ×1.]
[You’ve performed extraordinarily in the forging process, and the weapon’s quality has been enhanced!]
[Blacksmithing Skills’ experience increased, Skill Level up, current level lv2.]
Eagerly, Rogel picked up the iron sword.
[Iron Sword]
[Quality: Green]
[Type: Weapon]
[Attack Power: 12]
[Explanation: A meticulously crafted excellent iron sword.]
A green quality iron sword.
If Rogel had found this in a previous chest, he would certainly be cursing.
But this one he forged himself!
Rogel was very pleased with the iron sword in his hands.
Currently, he is forging simple weapons.
So it didn’t take much time.
With extraordinary stamina, Rogel could forge one weapon within a day.
However, the weapons forged this way won’t have great quality.
To forge a top-tier weapon, it would take at least one week to half a month’s continuous hammering.
But Rogel didn’t opt for that.
His aim now is to produce finished goods as quickly as possible, to gain more experience in a short time.
"Not bad, not bad."
It seems he indeed has a talent for forging.
Rogel initially planned to continue forging while his rhythm was still hot.
But then, Lina’s voice came from outside the forge room.
"Rogel, come out quickly, we’ve arrived at Nadewilo!"
Upon hearing this, Rogel put down his tools and dashed out without putting on his shirt.
Coming to Lina’s side, leaning on the railing, Rogel looked out.
Sure enough, across the horizon, an island higher than the sea had appeared in his view.
Nadewilo!
"Alright folks, get ready to dock!"
Rogel announced exuberantly, pretending to be a pirate captain with plenty of underlings.
"Idiot, put your clothes back on!"
Lina’s face reddened as she gently tapped Rogel’s sweat-dampened chest muscles.
Then she turned away, looking as if she had been caught peeking.
Rogel paused upon hearing it, observed Lina’s expression, and slightly raised an eyebrow.
Ah, a woman who says one thing but means another.
But now is not the time to dwell on these things, they need to prepare to dock.
...
Rogel and Lina looked at the island before them, unable to help but feel emotional.
Compared to Sea Serpent Island, Nadewilo is much larger.
If Sea Serpent Island is a village-like island, then Nadewilo is a city island.
Most of the island’s buildings are constructed with stone bricks, exhibiting a strong rustic style, though not lacking tall and exquisite structures. The bustling docks crowded with people showcase its vibrancy.
After paying a fee to the guards, Gelin docked at Nadewilo’s harbor.
"Iya..."
Iya hid behind the railings, cautiously peeking her head over, secretly observing Nadewilo’s harbor.
She seems a bit intrigued, but more frightened. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"You, stay on the ship, we, are going out for a while, we’ll be back soon, understand?"
Rogel tried to express his intentions with gestures.
Whether Iya understood or not, after lingering on the deck for a moment, she scurried back to her small cabin.
It looks like she doesn’t plan to come out.
