Chapter 69 Arrival at Hengfeng Port(1/3)
After leaving the dwarf's territory, the Seven Seas Traveler headed north along the rolling lines of Hudior Bay, bid farewell to Elderon's snow, and the winding coastline of Colin appeared in everyone's eyes again, as if they had returned to this place a year later.
Since ancient times, this route has been one of the busiest business roads on the sea. It passes through Minghao Changxia, reaches the south to the capital of Shengxiu'an, and reaches the capital of the Kingdom in the north. Merchant ships of all sizes are everywhere on the narrow and busy sea areas.
Sometimes they even encounter the warships of the Kaolin people, but most of these warships rushed to the south, crossed the Ming Chang Gorge, and replaced defense with the fleets near Saint-Hue'an.
The sailors regarded it as hard labor and full of danger. Saint Hugh'an is famous for pirates. Every year, the people of Kaolin said that they would not have to fight with him for a few real battles, and no one dared to promise that the next bad luck would not be themselves.
Therefore, before leaving the safe waters, everyone rushed to have fun in time and was lazy. In order to maintain morale, the captains turned a blind eye. Anyway, there would be no situation in the Gyeonggi area.
In this way, the Qihai Traveler can get away with it. To outsiders, they are about a near-shore fishing boat. At least from the appearance, the Qihai Traveler is not much different from an ordinary two-masted near-shore boat.
In order to minimize the number of encounters with patrolling warships, the Qihai Traveler also sailed as far as possible in the sea, lying dormant in the winding straits during the day, and hangs a wind light to sail at night.
They went north by Aike, crossed the edge of Gray Island, stood on the deck and looked out to the west by the low and rolling ridgeline of the Vampire Mountains.
The dark mountain shadows can be seen from afar, so that the Qihai Traveler will never be able to flee in the night.
The dark coastline is dotted with sparks of fire, and there are several fishing villages. This is still the border of the kingdom, with sparsely populated areas and numerous mountains blocking traffic, leaving locals trapped here for generations.
In the era when magic technology was in full swing, the Guta people would ride ancient sailboats across the straits and invade and rob the long coastline. In the 20th and 3rd century, the Guta people once approached Goland in the north, which caused quite a lot of panic at that time - such as the famous pirate king Olanka invasion in 271.
It was not until the large sailboat emerged that the Kaolin took over the situation completely. Since then, the empty gorge has become an emerging route, and its prosperity has continued to this day.
However, the prosperity on the sea has little to do with the people living on land, and the large merchant ships passing through this place will not stop in the middle. The locals sometimes see these giants passing through the mountains of clouds, but they rarely disturb their lives.
After crossing the Vampire Mountains, there is a place they are very familiar with on the other side of the mountain - the Masongke Creek Station.
The Great Valley, Aimao Fort and Blood Thistle Woodland are located between the mountains here, and it was once the place they passed by when they headed south.
Looking at the heavy mountain shadows, Fang Yu couldn't help but recall the experiences of the past year. Some of them seemed to be far away, but when I think about the experience of Aimao Castle, Dulun's turmoil seemed to be yesterday, so he still remembers the people and things in his experience clearly.
Ye Hua, Odin, the second son of Duke of Phoenix, and his maid, Fios, his teacher, Ms. Quisu - he had met Ms. Quisu a few days ago.
Ms. Kuisu has disbanded her lumberjack team and is determined to follow them. She is now with Forest and the others, responsible for logistics, leaving only a few elderly people who are unwilling to leave.
The two talked about the wanderer again. The lady has now come out of the pain of losing her son, but she still has not given up the hope of revenge.
The wanderer has disappeared, but Fang Yu also believes that the other party is just dormant.
Fang Rong thought of the girl in the painting, and then thought of Evelil. Are she and Sjoyed doing well in another world?
Then he thought of Rollin, the Big Catman and Miss Atira, the enemy of the Big Catman, and the friends he met in Istaniya, Alef, His Highness the Grand Princess, Afifa, Ms. Elna, and Mr. Bishop.
Are everyone doing well?
For some reason, he thought of the cat of the girl in the painting. Ms. Cat once became a member of the Seven Seas Brigade. Tianlan and the others gave it a name - Ms. Delis.
But since Edward and his party, Ms. Delis has disappeared without a trace. To this day, the little girls will discuss where Ms. Cat has gone and whether it has been completely released to freedom?
But occasionally, Fang Zhu recalled Delis' turquoise-like eyes and always felt that Ms. Cat is not that simple. Don't forget that it is the girl's cat in the painting. How many years have it lived in this world?
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a terrifying scream coming from the cabin below: "Ah—!"
That was the sound of the sky blue.
Fang Yu suddenly realized, pushed the door out, walked down the stairs, and met Luo Yu, who was also rushing to the scene. Ai Xiaoxiao was standing in the corridor with a look of panic, pointing at them at the floor:
“The sky is blue below.”
Below is the bottom cabin.
The two of them entered Luo Yu's carpentry workshop one by one. There were a lot of rolled canvas and spider silk soaked in the magic solution. The door was closed not far away.
Fang Zhu pushed open the door and found that someone had arrived behind the door first. It was a knight lady holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other hand. The long halberd could not be used below.
"What's going on?"
Fang Zhu looked up and down their poet lady and found that the latter was unharmed, so he asked.
Luo Yu stretched out his hand tacitly, pulled Tianlan to his side, and came to his boyfriend. The latter was a little better, and he replied stammeringly:
"Old...mouse, so big..."

Alisa and Tang Xin also walked down from behind. When they heard the abominable rodent's name, Miss Nightingale immediately took a cautious step back.
Although Tang Xin was not so obvious, she obviously stopped on the stairs.
However, Ai Xiaoxiao, who was protruding at the entrance of the stairs, was initially scared by the banshee howl of the sky blue and her face turned pale. Now she heard that she was just a mouse, but she was not so scared.
She jumped down the stairs and asked, "Rat, where are there rats?"
Fang Zhu was a little speechless. There was Nini on the boat, so how could there be a mouse?
Even if there was, she had been scared to death by her. This little girl was elusive on the boat all day and did not do good things. Last time a celestial bull flew on the boat and landed on her hands, she let her fiddle with it for a long time, almost for a lifetime.
The little long-lasting bull can't hide it, let alone the mouse.
However, looking at the expressions of the ladies, he had to follow the sky blue gaze and search among the cargo piled up in the bottom cabin.
But in the dark crystal light, there was nothing around it as quiet as silence. How could there be any mouse?
"Really... I saw it, a big one, it jumped over in a flash..." Tianlan was a little at a loss and hurriedly replied: "Miss May also saw it..."
Fang Zhu looked at the Knight Miss. May looked up, blinked his eyes lightly, and nodded to them.
This is strange. Miss May will never lie. Is there really a rat on the boat?
Fang Yu asked Luo Hao and the box to come down and move every thing in the bottom cabin one by one, but they turned the bottom of the cabin upside down, but in the end they didn't find anything.
It seems that Nini is really amazing. Not to mention mice, there is no bug in the bottom cabin.
"But I really saw it..." Tianlan seemed a little aggrieved, "It's white, so big... It just passed by in a flash..."
Ai Xiaoxiao also looked very sorry: "There are no mice..."
I don’t know what this girl is thinking about in her mind.
However, when it comes to the mouse, Fang Zhui remembered something. This seems not the first time Tianlan has seen a mouse on the boat.
Shortly after leaving Orenze, she and Alisa encountered such a thing on the boat, but after a round of cleaning, no trace of mice was found, so it was left alone.
It was also from that time that they discovered that Miss Fang Nini was the king on the boat. Apart from being a little afraid of the horned lizard and a little afraid of Xiaoguang, other things fell on the little girl's hands were basically equivalent to toys on the hands of a naughty child.
No one has a good ending.
"White?" Alisa suddenly said, "I saw a mouse last time, it seemed to be white, but is that thing really a mouse? It seems to be much bigger than a mouse..."
"That's right, it's too big. If it were an ordinary mouse, I wouldn't be that scared..." Tianlan stammered and complained, it was not because he was timid.
"But the rat is really that big?" Miss Nightingale suddenly said, "I think that may not be a rat, right?"
This sentence finally made Ai Xiaoxiao tremble. Many things that ordinary people are afraid of, such as furry spiders and dirty mice. She was not afraid at all, and she was even a little curious.
But those unpredictable things made her face pale: "Love, Miss Alisa, don't scare people."
"I'm not scary," Alisa smiled, "just remembering something."
What she thought of was actually Olenze’s experience.
They were suddenly overweight on the lift, and Miss Nightingale was the most perceptive of all, and she had been suspicious of something to follow them ever since.
Later, when Fang Zhu and the other two escaped from the hotel, they did encounter some strange things, such as a cat entangled the guards coming in the hall.
Fang Yu looked back and saw the shadow of the cat swaying past, and it seemed a bit like Ms. Delis.
After listening to the descriptions of the two, Tianlan widened her eyes and even blinked:
"Brother Ed, are you saying Ms. Delis still on the boat?"
Including from the beginning, Fang Zhu has actually always felt this way.
But after all, it just feels that there is only such a big place on Qihai Traveler. Apart from the bottom cabin, where can I hide?
Besides, in addition to the Paparals, the food on the ship has never been unexpectedly reduced. Unless the Cat Lady preys on her own, the Qihai Traveler does not have to dock every day, so there are no food sources on the Akira.
And there is no need for Delis to hide from them.
It's just a cat.
If it was just a cat-
Ms. Delis was still on the Qihai Traveler, and it was once circulated on the ship for a while, so that even the walnuts underground joined the ranks of finding Ms. Cat's whereabouts.
Although the few people were a little strange, there were no cats on the boat.
After a thorough investigation, there was indeed no discovery. Apart from not dismantling the Qihai Traveler, they inspected every corner inside and outside.
After this inspection, this incident became a small episode on the ship and one of the unsolved mysteries on the Qihai Traveler. However, in the eyes of Ai Xiaoxiao, Tianlan and even Jita, Ms. Delis was still on the Qihai Traveler, which became a political consensus.
Fang Rong didn't know why Ji Ta, who had always been calm, joined in the fun with the two little girls Ai Xiaoxiao and Tianlan. After all, the boat was divided into two political factions: the Cat Party and the Rational Party.
From a rational point of view, Fang Feng believed that Ms. Delis had no reason to hide in the Qihai Traveler, and they would not find it. But emotionally, he always had a feeling that Ms. Cat might not have left.
So as a neutral faction, he was unwelcome to both sides.
Tianlan and Ai Xiaoxiao thought that his cousin was not firm in his position. Tang Xin scoffed at his suspicious theory, but said that he was used to his stupidity.
As for Silvede, the Miss Shipman said that she would support the Captain unconditionally, which was a speculative person.
However, the complex political struggle on the ship did not last long, because another important event was soon ushered in, which was actually the spoils and spoils.
Although the elder leaves obtained from the Ash Tree Man can be used directly, Fang Zhu found that they were more effective after making them into empirical potions and would not affect their original characteristics.
