Seeing that Xia Duo was about to discuss the boat purchase with Evans, Niya quickly sent a message and had a private chat with Xia Duo: "Why don't we teleport there? It doesn't make sense to buy a boat like this!"
"Don't worry, this ship is not just for going to sea tomorrow. I will use it to travel to the northern border in the future to introduce new citizens to the southern border."
Chateau gave Niya a reassuring look, and then said to Evans: "I want to buy that boat! If I leave everything to you, can I go to sea tomorrow?"
He knew that his request was somewhat embarrassing, but if Evans could do it, then he wouldn't mind giving him a little surprise.
After finishing his request, Xia Duo looked at the other party calmly.
At the same time, Evans' face began to struggle. He knew that a ship was nothing to a senior arcanist, let alone if a senior arcanist wanted to
, he can teleport to his desired destination at any time.
Evans didn't know whether Xia Duo was testing him or testing him by doing this, but he knew that he had to agree. He just wanted to go to sea tomorrow, so——
"Sir, I can't guarantee that I will be able to go to sea tomorrow, but I am willing to give it a try."
"Can."
Looking at Evans who was cautious in front of him, Sha Duo finally agreed to let him have a try, but he guessed that the other party should be certain, otherwise he would not be able to take the risk of offending a senior arcanist.
Planting life.
Afterwards, Xia Duo took out the exchange voucher for about 10,000 gold coins from his portable space and handed it to Evans. At the same time, he said meaningfully: "Don't let me down!"
Hearing this, Evans' hand that was about to take the gold coin exchange voucher suddenly froze, and Sha Duo was immediately amused when he saw this.
However, he could also understand the difficulty of being a small person, and the person in front of him was not his subordinate, so he said:
"Take it, I know it is not easy to complete the acquisition and recruit the right crew in one night. I am not a harsh person. You just need to do your best. Even if it is a little later, I can accept it."
After Xia Duo said this, Evans took the gold coin exchange vouchers. After counting them, he assured Xia Duo:
"Sir, if we go to sea early tomorrow morning, it will not be easy, but I promise that everything will be ready before noon."
"Very good, then I won't waste your time. See you tomorrow!"
After saying that, Xia Duo took Niya and walked outside the port area.
…
"If the ship is not ready tomorrow, we will just teleport there!"
On the way, Niya mentioned teleportation again, but Xia Duo could see that she was a bit inconsistent, so he took advantage of the nightfall to quietly hold her hand and firmly convey his thoughts to her.
Although there are few pedestrians on the streets of Severnton at night, they are not completely absent. Holding hands on the street, which is a very normal behavior in Shado's eyes, still makes her very shy in Niya's eyes.
In fact, this is because Niya has never been to the elven countries. Xia Duo has many experiences of incarnating elves in the projection plane. He knows that in some aspects, the elven society is already very close to the modern society on earth.
Not to mention holding hands in the street, even if it's a man or a woman, it's not unusual at all.
There are also quite avant-garde people in Netheril, but Niya is still quite conservative in this aspect, and this is sometimes what Niya most teases Shado about.
Holding Niya's soft little hand in his hand, and occasionally saying ambiguous words that only the two of them could understand, the two of them walked to the gate of Giles Tower without knowing it.
But when he got here, Xia Duo stopped. He pulled Niya and said, "Why don't you go back to the Tower of Time tonight and come back tomorrow morning?"
"But that will cost an extra 2,000 gold coins!" Niya subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But Xia Duo said: "It doesn't matter. Level 5 members of the Austrian Law Association have discounts, so they don't need so much."
What Niya lacked was just an excuse. Under Sha Duo's guidance, Niya returned to the Tower of Time and arrived at the bedroom without knowing when.
She didn't know when the robe she was wearing had quietly left her.
…
The next morning.
Niya opened her eyes and faced a pair of familiar eyes that were like morning stars. There was a smile in the eyes. Niya was immediately ashamed and buried her head in the arms of Xia Duo who had already woken up.
middle.
But the physical contact without any barrier made her a little overwhelmed. It was daytime now, not night. Niya screamed and didn't dare to make any more moves.
Feeling the heat that was obviously higher than human body temperature coming from Niya's cheek, which was close to his chest, Xia Duo suddenly found it funny that Niya was still so shy even though they were an old married couple.
He raised his body slightly, kissed Niya on the forehead, then gathered his willpower, took out his left arm that was still around Niya's body, and whispered in Niya's ear:
"I'll prepare breakfast first, and I'll go to Severington later. Don't sleep too long."
"Um."
…
After breakfast, the blush on Niya's face gradually dissipated, and she returned to her usual cool Savior mage again.
With the help of the teleportation circle, the two of them teleported directly from the southern border to the Arcane Federation. It was about as convenient as it was for the caster. If Niya hadn't wanted to see the sea view along the way, maybe the two of them had returned from Watch Island at this moment.
When they arrived at the port, Chateau summoned Evans to inquire about the ship's preparations. In a moment, Evans led seven or eight people dressed as boatmen and trotted to Chateau:
"Sir, Evans has lived up to his trust, the last crew has been found, and the 'Yuanfang' can set sail at any time!"
With that said, Evans handed back some of the gold coin exchange certificates and asked the seven or eight boatmen to salute Xia Duo. Xia Duo waved his hand, he didn't care about this.
As for the remaining gold coin exchange certificates, he took a look and found that there were about 2,000 gold coins left. It seemed that one ship and all the crew members cost almost 8,000 gold coins.
For the kind of boat that can sail on the sea, Xia Duo himself has a rough budget. After all, he has bought a boat before.
Looking at Evans' almost black eyes, Xia Duo knew that the other person probably hadn't rested all night, so he said:
"Thank you for your hard work, but now I still have to ask you to take us to see the ship. When we go to sea, you can rest again!"
"Sir, I don't need to rest. We are going to the ship now. Please come with me, sir!"
No matter what he said, Evans' eyes showed an unusual excitement. He led Sha Duo, Niya, and the seven or eight boatmen, half running and half jumping towards a large ship.
