Hearing Niya's answer, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little silent.
That's right, Niya has been raised in the Mage Tower by Lord Epps since she was a child. Even though she can see distant scenes through magic, and even endless strange illusions, Niya has no desire for the real world outside.
, then Xia Duo was the first one not to believe it.
Even he himself had just been to the sea once!
There was also the previous encounter with the fishman incident at Lake Macht. He could obviously teleport directly back to the Tower of Time from Severton, but he still chose to return by boat.
This may be due to the fact that he was scouting the maps along the way, but more probably he wanted to see the scenery outside the southern border.
In fact, in a sense, Niya, a local, may not know as much about the current world as Xia Duo, an outsider.
This couldn't help but make him feel a little sympathy for Niya and countless other Nese people.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo once again came up with the idea of traveling around the world in a floating city, but for now, let him accompany Niya around the Narrow Sea first!
With an idea in mind, Xia Duo no longer had any doubts in his eyes when he looked at Niya, but with some encouragement. However, he still had a few questions about renting a boat now:
"Do you know where to rent a boat? How to rent a boat? What kind of boat to rent? How much does it cost?"
"ah--"
Being hit on the head by a series of practical problems, Nia was dumbfounded. She only thought about taking a boat to Watch Island, but she didn't think too much about the specific issue of renting a boat.
"Then what should we do? Aren't we already at the port? Then there shouldn't be any problem if we find a few ships and ask!"
As she spoke, Niya quickly clarified her thoughts, "Yes, let's find a few ships to see if they can reach Watch Island. Watch Island is near Harbor Harbor. I think there should be many ships that can reach it.
Over there!"
In Xia Duo's view, Niya's method is considered a routine method for novices. Although he is also a novice when it comes to renting a boat to go to sea, he has a better way.
The reason why I asked Niya just now was just to finally confirm Niya's mind.
Now that he knew that Niya was very determined, he didn't show off and said to Niya: "If we directly ask each ship one by one, it may cause unnecessary trouble. I know a veteran at the port.
If you agree, I will call him over."
Although most of the ships in Severton are operated by ordinary people, it is almost impossible that there are no spellcasters behind these ships.
If they just come to the door directly, they will inevitably be regarded as troublemakers. It is better to find a middleman. This will not only reduce unnecessary misunderstandings, but also be more efficient.
In this regard, Niya did not insist on renting the boat herself, but she was still surprised that Xia Duo still had acquaintances in Severton Port:
"Who is that person you know? Is he reliable?"
"It should be reliable. I'll call him over first!"
The person Chateau wanted to find was the bartender of the tavern he went to in the afternoon. Of course, that bartender also had another identity - the owner of the "Drunkard's House".
Otherwise, how can a small tavern hire a bartender who seems to be very skilled? Why not sell some bulk wine?
In addition to bartenders, Xia Duo can also ask people from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce or even the Seven Towers to help. However, the people he knows are of high status. If the purpose is to exchange magic, it may be a good choice.
But there is no need to trouble those people with such a small matter.
The bartender at the Drunkard's House may have some background as a powerful spell caster, but the other party recognized him at that time, treated him with great respect, and accepted his mission.
Of course Xia Duo wouldn't mind using him for a little longer!
Since a magic mark was left on the bartender in advance, and the Drunkard's House was also opened in the port area, the bartender appeared in Sha Duo's field of vision in less than two minutes after Sha Duo issued the summons.
.
Then he ran all the way and came to Sha Duo, and bowed respectfully to Sha Duo and Niya, "Evans has met Lord Sha Duo and Lord Savile."
Oh, even Niya's identity was known. Sha Duo glanced at Evans who was bowing his head and saluting respectfully, and wondered who was behind Evans.
However, most of his understanding of Sevington still stayed at the macro and broad situation, and he was not clear about the specific distribution of forces or even the details.
However, Xia Duo didn't pay too much attention. After all, his and Niya's identities were no secret, especially his own. Countless people had seen him during the princess's ascension ceremony.
It’s better not to go to the door one by one and use the “Forgetting Curse” on those people!
Xia Duo is not opposed to becoming a public figure. On the contrary, after becoming a senior arcanist, he is very happy to see it. After all, it can provide him with more cloud energy to continue awakening his bloodline. What is there to object to!
As for the Evans in front of him, Chateau didn't have much idea, he just said:
"No need to be polite, let me ask you, do you know which ship will depart from Severington recently and pass through Harbor Harbor or Watch Island?"
"Sir, ships passing through Harbor Harbor and Watch Island usually go to Zenis or Ascor. Such ships that can conduct ocean voyages need to take into account monsoons, undercurrents, etc., and usually have fixed sailing dates.
, after the last batch of ocean-going ships leave today, it will be at least ten days before the next batch comes."
Evans' words reminded Shado of the ships he saw while flying over the sea in the afternoon. He thought they were there every day, but he didn't expect they were in batches.
Evans is indeed a veteran at the port, but this result could not satisfy him. He glanced at Niya, who was also frowning, and continued to ask:
"What about ordinary ships? Don't they only go to Harbor Harbor or Watch Island?"
"Yes, but very few. Generally, only when the fishery employees on Watch Island are on vacation, they will return from Harbor Harbor, and then pick up another group of employees on shift to go there."
Evans once again gave a not-so-good result. It seemed unlikely that he would go out on a boat tomorrow. Xia Duo glanced at Niya. Niya frowned, but her eyes still showed persistence.
Chateau couldn't bear Niya's disappointment, so he asked again: "Are there any idle ships for sale at Severton Port that can go to Harbor Port?"
Niya heard the meaning of Xia Duo's words and was about to speak, but Xia Duo held her back. It was just a ship, and she could make money by selling a few more communication tools.
In fact, even without today's incident, Xia Duo was planning to purchase several ships, mainly to introduce people to the southern border.
The voyage from the core area of Nese to the southern border is too long. Preparing a few more ships can better share the risks and transport people back to the maximum extent possible.
