Chapter 92 Straight Channel (Part 1)

Everyone spent the night in Gray Harbor, and early the next morning, Childan saw them off in person at the port.

"Goodbye, friends, I hope you can arrive at the immortal land and say hello to my relatives there. If you see Orway, you will say that it is Nolway to say hello to him. May time erase all the pain in the world, and may we meet soon."

"Remember your instructions and we'll leave." Ronan waved goodbye to the team that saw him off, but in fact he didn't know any of the other elves except the shipbuilder Childan.

Legolas solemnly saluted Childan, and then stepped onto the ship traveling west with everyone.

"Set the sail!"

As the white sails rose, the ship gradually sailed away from the gray port and began its journey through the blue sea.

This kind of ship is white all over, about twenty meters long, four meters wide, and has a draft of about two meters. It is considered a relatively medium-sized ship in the gray port.

This ship is very elven. Although it is relatively slender, the overall curve is very round. There are almost no sharp angles except the bow. There are almost no right angles in the rooms in the cabin. The seamless connection between the boat plates and the boat plates is as if they are grown together.

It has two masts, and it is said that when the wind direction is right, it can run an amazing speed of fourteen knots. At that time, two white sails will be filled with wind, as bright as the bright moon in the sky.

A sailboat like this huge usually requires ten people to flexibly control it, but when Childan saw Ronan's means, he happily gave it to them.

As for why such a expensive sailboat can be given directly, it is naturally because Childan is really rich. In fact, in the current Middle Earth, except King Elrond of Rivendale and Ms. Kellandriel of Roslorien, no one is richer than him, and even these two people are not necessarily richer than him.

Because the shipbuilder Childan was an elves born during the Great Expedition, he has led his tribe members to settle on the beach and rely on the marine fishery, pearls, corals and other resources to trade with the mainland. This business has been underway for nearly ten thousand years.

Shipbuilder Childan's mission is to escort everyone who travels west to Verinor, so he is like a mission NPC. He is used to sending a boat almost every time he sends away one. After all, there are many people going to Verinor, but few people coming back. Over the past three thousand years, he has seen six return ships and is used to it.

The load capacity of the ship is excellent, and the weight of the five people pressed on it has almost no effect at all. The deck is as stable as land.

The cabin was also filled with various supplies, a small amount of vegetables and fruits, a lot of wine, dry bread and jerky. When I saw these things, Ronan understood why the drip of the ship was so deep and why the ship was so stable.

"This Childan is a pleasure!"

"Yes, the shipbuilder Childan is one of the most respectable elf elders, but compared to Childan, Nolway is his real name." Legolas said with emotion as he looked at the gray port that was gradually moving away.

"Yes, no wonder he asked us to say Nolway to say hello to anyone, by the way, elves, including your father, have no beards along the way, why does this shipbuilder have so many beards?"

"That is naturally because the shipbuilders are old, and the elves' lives will never die unless someone kills them with swords, or they die from sadness and worries.

So after the elves grow to a certain stage, the appearance of the elves will never change, but when the life of male elves enters the third round, they will start to grow beards, which means that the shipbuilder Childan is at least 10,000 years old."

Harry was shocked, "Ten long live?"

He himself is only seven years old, so how many seven years does it take to reach ten thousand years?

Thorin nodded, "That's right, since I can remember, my father told me that there was an elf leader in the West named Childan, and he said that my grandfather told him the same, and my grandfather told his son the same, and some elves always live in other people's family genealogy."

“It’s incredible…”

"That's nothing. The end of our voyage is Verino, the legendary land of Vera, the blessed land, the immortal land. Where can we even meet the legendary primitive elves. They are the first elves to wake up from the stars and the first elves in the world."

Harry has become more and more numb as he hears it. Could it be that things like age can also inflate?

Slowly, the sailboat went further and further, the sea surface became wider and wider, the sea breeze became stronger and stronger, and the waves naturally became more and more waver, and finally began to feel a little shaking.

"Very good," Ronan patted his boat, and slowly felt a sense of gain in his heart. "I want to give it a name that is appreciated by both the elite and the masses, so how about it? Dabai? Dabai is very suitable!"

Dwarf Thorin Oak Shield nodded: "Well, easy to understand."

Two elves: "…"

Vulgarity is vulgar enough, but where is the elegance?

"I started to feel it slowly..." Ronan felt inexplicably excited.

"What does it feel?"

"The feeling of navigation... the helmsman, report the speed."

Harry reported happily: "Yes Captain, I regret to inform you that we do not have a helmsman!"

"What? Where is my first mate?"

"Report to the captain, we don't have a first mate, either."

"Then the sailors can be long."

"We are not as good as sailors!"

Ronan rolled his eyes: "Okay, sailor, tell me, what else do we have?"

"There are five people who can't do anything!"

"Very good, head west, go full speed!"

"Captain, we have no wind!"

Taurel: "…"

Legolas, Thorin: "That's so stupid!"

The pleasure brought by navigation quickly faded away. At this time, only a small dot was left in the field of view, while the ships were still sailing in a huge bay with land on both sides.

Ronan had no choice but to take out the map and was surprised to find that at their current speed, even if they sailed for another two days, they would still be in Shu'en Bay.

"Wow, this Shun Bay is really big. It has such a large area of ​​water. Why is it called Shun Bay instead of Shun Inland Sea?"

"Don't look at me, I don't know." Legolas shrugged.

Thorin also shook his head, and as for Taurel and Harry, they could not count on it.

Judging from the map, the entire Shune Bay is a water area connected to the sea sandwiched by Flinton and Harrington. Moreover, Flinton and Harrington also extended a piece of land to each other, almost turning the entire Shune Bay into an inner lake.

This terrain makes Ronan re-affirm, it really looks like a reduced version of the Mediterranean. Because of the obstruction of the continental shelf, the outside world cannot disturb it at all, so the sea water in Shun Bay is always so calm, with only slightly ups and downs.

I believe that if humans were to develop this place, the commerce along the coast would be very prosperous, and it would be impossible to create an Alda version of Greece.

The big white ship sailed in Shu'en Bay for another three days and nights, and finally arrived at the exit of Shu'en Bay.

"There is Halongde ahead. Where can we reach the port, we will make the final replenishment, and then we will enter the vast ocean."

Legolas, Thorin and others nodded, and then brought Taorel with them. The four of them worked together to waste a lot of effort before they could dock the ship on the port under the contempt of the elf sailors on the shore.

Bang! Bang!

The elves on the shore avoided a long distance, and looked at the five people on this beautiful ship with the eyes of rare animals. They had not had such a stupid sailor for many years.

Halongde is the port of Harrington. The corresponding to Halongde is Flinton, and there is also a Fulongde opposite. In fact, the pronunciation of Talongde in Xinda means port, and the meaning of land is suffixed after a certain pronunciation, which naturally means a certain port.

Originally, the elves on the shore were laughing at them, saying that they didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick. They dared to drive the boat without a single person who could drive the boat. They smashed a plank road and made their Dabai hull fall off.

But who is Ronan? He slapped his hands and used alchemy to repair both things. The elf next to him was stunned.

"What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a magic ship repair?"

"I've never seen it before..."

"Brother, do you want to be our boat repairman? The salary is easy to say!"

"Go and go, who is in the mood to do that? We are busy and are going to Verino."

"Wow, even at this level, dare to go to Verino? Be embarrassed and thrown before the gods?"

In the end, they couldn't bear the sarcasm and bought a sailor's operating manual and got on the boat, then replenished some food on the boat. Then, Ronan specially installed a fresh water tank and a bathroom for Dabai.

In fact, traditional wooden sailboats generally do not contain fresh water. If sailors want to drink water, they can solve it by drinking light wine. The main reason is that fresh water is not easy to store, and the water tanks on the boat cannot use fragile materials such as ceramics.

But all this is not a problem in Ronan's opinion. An alchemist with rich scientific knowledge can't solve this? So at this port, Ronan waved his hand and directly changed Dabai from the inside to the outside to his own appearance, only the appearance still retained its original appearance.

Then set sail again on a sunny day.

"Let's go to Verino, full sail!"

"It's the captain!" This time, Legolas and Thorin did a very good job and left the harbor very smoothly.

The ship rushed out of the Linton Strait, and what appeared in front of them was an endless vast ocean, and the land was truly left behind by them.

The sea breeze lost the obstacles of the mountains and woods on land, and slowly began to become irritable. The waves were no longer so tame, making the whole ship sway left and right.

The white sail was blown very round, and with the big white horn, it drew a long string of ripples, heading westward.

Ronan stood on the bow, holding a chart in one hand and holding the Verinor necklace with the other. The sunlight gathered on the gems of the Verinor necklace, and then the thick light pointed directly to the west.

Legolas looked at the direction where the gems light gathered, his eyes filled with endless imagination. If he arrived at Verino, he would have been able to see his mother...

"The route we set foot is the starting point of the straight channel. As long as we follow the guidance of the chart and light, we can succeed in Aman."

"I hope everything goes well."
