Lulu ran back to her cabin to continue refining the medicine. The last transformation potion was close to giving the fog demon a meal. She firmly believed that as long as she changed the formula again, even without the possibilities brought by the magic wave,
It can also create results that would stun the traditional potions school.
Lu Yu will go to the southernmost beach of the territory to pick up the ship with the combat team.
This cargo was very important. If Lu Yu and others failed to return in time, the captain would have no choice but to drift on the sea or find a suitable island to anchor the ship - and the contractor paid an extremely generous reward for this.
The task of resolving various issues in the territory naturally fell on Serra.
Sera didn't care, it was better for Lulu to stay by her side than to follow Lu Yu around.
There are a large number of strange sea tribes living on the long coastline south of the Hongyan Mountains. Most of them are not very intelligent and do not have their own language and cultural system. The intelligent races living here have strange names for the nearby area.
Strange.
For this reason, Lu Yu waved his hand: "From now on, this place will be called Gouzhi Coast."
The reason why it was named like this is because when viewed from the survey map, the shape resembles a slightly raised finger. The simple and easy-to-understand name was quickly remembered by all members of the combat team.
Lu Yu, who was at his fingertips, asked the person next to him to send magic light balls to the sky. After a dozen or so balls in a row, a blurry silhouette of a ship appeared on the horizon.
The wind picked up today, and Bo Mu, one of the vampire twins beside Lu Yu, was blown so hard that he could not open his eyes. Fortunately, the members of the combat team of the Pope Knights were all strong men, so they naturally stepped forward to help Lu Yu and
The dusk blocked part of the salty sea breeze.
The boat splashing in the waves kept approaching the shore, then stopped and stopped moving forward.
A magician in robes jumped down from the mast, and using the water as a stepping stone, he quickly reached the shore.
"What is the most common thing in Dusk City?"
The magician alertly threw out the secret signal for the connection.
"Doll."
Hearing this, the water mage took off his hood and breathed a sigh of relief: "The Wavebreaker has lived up to its trust. Please come aboard and take inventory of the cargo."
Lu Yu asked: "Can't we get closer to the shore?"
The magician shook his head: "You don't know something. There is no decent port on this unknown coast. The ship can easily run aground. The tide rises and falls only in an instant. We don't dare to take risks. The employer is determined not to go west of Broken Gold City.
The two port city-states did not allow us to use the Port of Demorris under the snow-capped mountains in the southwest corner of the Theocracy to unload and recycle goods. They searched for a long time and only found us who were willing to accept this commission."
Following the magician on board the ship, a familiar figure came into view. Although he was wearing a mask, Lu Yu recognized him at a glance.
The one-armed Isco walked forward excitedly. He subconsciously wanted to kneel down and salute, but then he remembered that Lu Yu was not Sera... but he seemed to be his superior... This was very awkward.
Lu Yu saw Isco's clumsiness, and he took the initiative to step forward and hug him: "Thank you for your hard work."
Isco smiled bitterly: "If I could, I would never take a boat again..."
Isko led Lu Yu to the warehouse. The door with a slight musty smell was pushed open, and countless humanoid figures wrapped tightly in white cloth came into view, while the non-humanoid ones were packed in large boxes.
.
These are the hundreds of dolls that Clorance made for Twilight City.
The magician just said half of what he said. In the city of Beaune in Collet, the biggest reason why no one is willing to accept Isko's commission is not that he insists on going to this unnamed coast with no port and questionable sea conditions. Experienced people travel back and forth all year round.
Collet and Mela's ships were not afraid of this little challenge. The main reason for their refusal was the cargo.
After Isco's inventory, a total of 636 intact dolls were transported out of the city at dusk.
Isco, who was not very sensitive to numbers at the time, just exclaimed "a lot", but Anna, who was a magician, was already dizzy.
After the death of Mera's strongest and most famous puppet master in the past forty years, there were only a hundred puppets left. Adding in the unassembled semi-finished products, the number was even less than a hundred, not to mention that many of the hundred were...
Defective products.
And the ninth-level puppet master has continued to improve in infinite reincarnations. With the cooperation of the magic circle, it is no problem to kill the sixth-level puppet...
Six hundred and thirty-six pieces. Some aristocratic gentlemen with low titles don’t have as many cattle and sheep as the dolls of Clarence!
Too large a quantity will naturally cause people to doubt the source and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Anna and Isko can only use their good reputation in the local area to lie and claim that they have a friend who wants to transport extremely special goods-anticorrosion.
Good corpse.
Looking at the figures wrapped in white cloth, Anna and Isco, who had a good reputation and good popularity, heard one excuse after another.
There was a plague on the ship and it needed major repairs. Some people made reservations in advance and couldn't eat the goods. The trip to stargazing at night was not going well...
Even the nobles who took the lead were embarrassed. He could understand the captains' reluctance to take orders, and Anna's outrageous "friends" also made him dizzy.
They are more like adventurers than adventurers because they only depend on the weather. Therefore, there are many taboos among people who take a boat.
One corpse is still acceptable, but a ship that has carried hundreds of people... can instantly turn into a ghost ship. Once you become famous in the industry, your enemies will tell you that if you don't take it out in a matter of seconds, your ship's reputation will be ruined.
Anna and Isko searched for a long time, and finally the current wavebreaker, a brand-new ship that had just been launched, took over the commission.
Captain Hal Conch was already being shunned by his colleagues in Boyne City, and was about to leave Collet to seek development in other continents. Hearing that people like Anna and Isko, who were helping the orphans and the poor, could not solve the trouble for their "friends" even though they came forward.
He gritted his teeth and took the initiative to find the door.
Although Hal Conch performed sea sacrificial rituals from humans, sea monsters, and even elves before going to sea, many things that happened during this trip still frightened Isko.
Shortly after leaving Collet, the Wavebreaker encountered two storms. Although they were not large in scale, the experienced crew members felt that they were caused by "evil spirits".
Immediately after they sailed along the fixed route, they suddenly encountered a sea clan war, and the entire ship was thrown into the middle of the battlefield like an unarmed passerby.
The fluctuations of magic under the water made everyone sweat profusely. Isko felt that that was the moment he was closest to death, because once the boat broke and fell into the water, they would most likely be torn into pieces by the sea tribe.
Under Isko's eloquent narrative, Lu Yu patted his shoulder sympathetically.
In his opinion, this was caused by the crew's preconceived "ominous" thoughts.
"Aren't you doing well? There are no evil spirits at work. It's not yet time for them to be born." Lu Yu comforted people in a simple and rough way.
A rugged bearded man came down to the warehouse. The coat draped over his shoulders seemed to be some kind of sea skin, which was soft, elastic and shiny.
Lu Yu casually opened a box in front of him, looked at the mercury sealed in the jar, and smiled: "Ask the captain to help unload the cargo."
Hal Conch touched his rough face in embarrassment: "My people are a little...please forgive me."
Lu Yu understood, and immediately called up the combat team waiting on the shore.
Lu Yu summoned the shaping element water droplet. As it absorbed the surging water-attribute magic power around it, its body expanded little by little, and finally transformed into a blue ship in a series of twists. Under the transportation of the combat team, "Eat
The "full" water droplets immediately swam to the shore.
Next is the shaping elemental style.
The wind blown by the little manta ray makes the puppet fly with the wind, it just looks like...
Each stiff figure was wrapped in white cloth and flew into the sky. It looked like a strange scene that only appeared in horror.
By the time the unloading was completed, the expressions of the people on board were visibly relaxed.
Hearing that Hal planned to look for opportunities in the seaside city-states of the Theocracy, Lu Yu introduced: "My territory may still use your ship in the future."
Hal hesitated for a while: "Isn't it still such a scary cargo?"
"It will be normal."
Hal breathed a sigh of relief: "If you contact me through a magic messenger, you need to give me a fixed regional address."
Lu Yu casually threw a maple tree statue to Hal - the territory's public message array receiver.
Hal didn't know what this was. Although he could also do magic, his vision and knowledge level were not comparable to those of powerful magicians of the school.
After Lu Yu's introduction, Hal looked at Lu Yu in shock, his expression becoming more respectful.
Today’s transportation is still the most convenient by sea.
Land transportation is slow, and air transportation requires a huge fleet of flying monsters, which the territory cannot support.
Therefore, in the future, Lu Yu may need to transport some resources by sea, and Captain Hal, who is new to Mera, is undoubtedly a good candidate. He has a regular source of customers that many captains dream of.
Mi Lai, the former incarnation of Glory who followed to suppress the formation and now the leader of the battle group, inspected several dolls. She was so shocked that she eagerly asked Lu Yu how he obtained them.
Lu Yu, who thought it was a long story, asked, "Do you think these dolls can build a complete defense system for our territory?"
"absolutely okay."
"With them, our territory may be able to maintain well without too many people." Lu Yu said with a smile.
Milai was confused: "Are you planning to maintain the existing population and not introduce new blood? But this way your territory will not be able to expand rapidly."
Lu Yu shook his head: "I have never planned to expand. If the territory is a safe haven, then my safe haven is undoubtedly very small. Managing a territory of more than a hundred people is just right for us. The more people there are, the higher the management cost.
The bigger it is, the greater the instability, even if we really have that ability..."
Lu Yu looked at Mi Lai: "Why are you so tired?"
"When you joined us, all three of us said 'welcome home' to you. Do you want your home to be messy?"
Miley shook his head.
"That's right, our home is not big and can't accommodate more people, and we won't accept outsiders easily."
