The day after leaving the port of Dornhold, the Blue Crystal officially entered the Sea of Conquest.
As the color of the ocean became darker and darker, the wind and waves on the sea became stronger and stronger, and the entire ship of the Blue Crystal began to become more and more bumpy.
Lux was not used to the floating feeling under her feet. Even though her strong body meant that she did not have to worry about serious seasickness, her throat was still itchy when a big wave hit.
Even if she gets enough sleep, her head is always groggy.
Under this situation, Kalya could only temporarily cancel her tutoring and could not make specific plans with her.
Ino simply seemed to have no feeling for the wind and waves, so Kalya simply began to tutor Ino wholeheartedly, giving this ice bloodline who had good talent but seriously lagged behind in learning progress some extra lessons.
Speaking of which, even according to Kalya's standards, Ino is considered to have good talent, no less talented than Lux. Although the talent of ice magic is not as rare as light magic, after Kalya's inspection, he found that Ino
There is at least one-eighth of the ice blood in the body, which means that one of Ino's great ancestors is of the Freljord's ice blood.
Kalya doesn’t know much about the ice bloodline, but what is certain is that Ino’s bloodline has greatly enhanced her talent in ice magic. It is precisely because of the ice bloodline that she can awaken early.
Magic, and it will not cause the magic to get out of control.
You know, without Kalya's help, Lux would still have to wear gloves and be unable to control her magic power until she was eighteen years old.
However, because Ino's foundation is really poor, and the environment here is not suitable for cramming quietly, Kalya cannot start from the basic theory like he taught Lux.
Taking into account the need to improve the team's combat effectiveness, Karya simply changed his teaching ideas and focused directly on practice.
Although Ino's magical power is not as amazing as Lux's, it is still quite good and is completely enough to support daily training.
In this way, Lux and Ino, who originally lived in two cabins, simply moved in together. The "by-product" of Ino's daily study, ice cubes, could effectively alleviate Lux's seasickness.
Kalya believed that after going through the assault training, by the time the Blue Crystal arrived at Kalamanda, Ino should have a considerable degree of combat effectiveness - how could he be a main force in Noxus if he was thrown into it?
The kind who is the leader of a mage team.
……………………
The fifth day after leaving Dornhold.
The Sapphire Crystal has arrived at the center of the Sea of Conquest - even in the cabin, when the waves come, it feels almost like a pirate ship in an amusement park.
The entire Blue Crystal has lowered its sails as much as possible, and even took the initiative to lower a mast. In this state, the armed merchant ship is simply a tumbler in a violent storm, relying entirely on the ballast cargo in the bottom warehouse to maintain the most basic conditions.
The balance will not overturn on the spot.
Lux was lying helplessly on the sailor's bed, staring blankly at the gray sky outside the porthole, while Ino was diligently studying spell models under the guidance of Kalya.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and after a moment of noise, the cabin door was knocked.
"anyone here?"
"Who?" Lux asked through the door while chewing ice cubes, "What's the matter?"
"I am the boatswain of the Sapphire Crystal." The visitor introduced himself unhurriedly, "We are about to reach dangerous waters. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I would like to remind passengers that please do not leave yourself today.
In the cabin, there will be a dedicated person to take care of everything for you, and a sailor will deliver meals and replace the wash buckets later."
"Well, I got it." Lux agreed, "I won't run around and cause you trouble."
"Thank you very much." The boatswain seemed very satisfied with Lux's reply, "The blue crystal armed forces are on board to protect your safety, don't worry!"
After saying that, the boatswain left Lux's door and knocked on the next cabin door.
"Dangerous sea area, what is that?" Ino, who heard the conversation, couldn't help but asked curiously, "It seems serious?"
"Ask Lux to come over, and I will briefly introduce the current situation to you."
Ino nodded, stood up, came to Lux with his sword in hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and took Lux's hand.
"There is a dangerous sea ahead. If there is any accident in the next day, you two must be prepared." Kalya's tone rarely became serious, "In terms of voyage, we should be close to Dornho by now.
We are on the midline from Erd to Kalamanda. This is the center of the ocean, with high winds and strong waves, and there are also pirates. You two, be more careful."
"Pirate?" x2
Lux was quite surprised to hear that there might be pirates, while Ino was full of panic - neither of them had ever seen a pirate, they had just heard of the name.
"As the war in Ionia has intensified in recent years, almost all of the Noxian navy has been sent to the First Land." Kalya explained in a low voice, "Without the navy's suppression, Bilgewater
The pirates are becoming more and more lawless... To be honest, I am not surprised at all to meet pirates here."
"But how did you know this news?" Lux asked curiously, "How come you haven't heard of it?"
"Although the aristocratic banquet has complicated etiquette and makes people unhappy, it is indeed a good way to collect information." Kalya said matter-of-factly, "Of course, few people are as idle as me. I listen to everything and remember everything.
- Anyway, just do as I say, keep a low profile tomorrow, and just get past this dangerous sea area!"
"Okay!" x2
Of course, Ino nodded hurriedly, and Lacus agreed sickly.
As a result, in the evening of that day, Lux saw a huge pirate ship through the porthole.
The pirate ship seemed to have a set of semaphores (unfortunately, Lux couldn't understand it at all), and also launched a round of artillery fire (none of which hit) - and almost at the same time, the Sapphire Crystal also fired back (also completely empty)
).
However, judging from the scale of the bombardment (mainly the number and height of the water splash), it seems that the Blue Crystal is actually better?
As if sensing that the Blue Crystal was not easy to mess with, the pirate ship finally stopped following it after following it for a while, causing Ino, who had always been nervous, to let out a long sigh of relief.
The day after encountering the pirates, the Sapphire Crystal ended martial law.
In the evening of the same day, the strong wind that had been blowing for several days finally stopped.
Lux, who was almost getting moldy after staying in the cabin, finally came to the deck again.
When she stood on the side of the ship, watching the sunset on the sea, and listening to the sound of the cable being tightened repeatedly after the sail was propped up, Lux suddenly felt that the salty sea breeze could be so lovely.
"It's so beautiful, isn't it?" Just as Lux was taking a deep breath at the sea, the boatswain's voice came from behind, "When the storm subsides and the enemies are far away, even the most unruly villain can
He will sincerely praise the Serpent Mother for her blessing; even the stingiest captain will willingly give his share of the tithe."
"What a wonderful comparison." Lux subconsciously maintained her noble demeanor, and then realized that she was no longer in Demacia. "Well, I mean, I saw the pirate ship yesterday and I was shocked."
"Don't worry, the Blue Crystal armed merchant ship is safe and trustworthy." Mr. Boatswain showed a bright smile, "If possible, I also hope that the lady can support our shipping business - manned delivery, we are all professionals
of."
Having said this, the boatswain took out a cardboard card from a wallet and handed it to Lux.
Looking at the golden [Mildda Shipping Trading Company] on the paper card, Lux realized at this time that the other party's initiative to chat was to promote business.
Also, it is said that the first-class cabin on this kind of armed merchant ship is quite expensive. Considering that I booked two cabins with Ino but only stayed in one, the other party must regard me as a big customer.
So, after taking the name note, Lux nodded politely, put it in his pocket, and said that if given the opportunity, he would definitely recommend and choose the Blue Crystal.
After getting a satisfactory answer, the boatswain said goodbye politely and then returned to his job again.
Looking at the other party's back, Lux couldn't help but sigh, the business atmosphere here is really strong.
In Demacia, many things in business are linked to status. Only nobles can buy many things, and commoners do not have extra money to buy consumer goods.
Therefore, promotions often occur at noble banquets, and more often through word of mouth among nobles.
And here, the boatswain personally came to sell things door-to-door. Judging from his words, he looked carefully prepared... This is really completely different from Demacia!
As the sun sets and the bright moon rises, the Blue Crystal continues southward and finally enters the Shark Sea.
Although Lux didn't see the legendary shark nor heard the shark's song, at least it was a peaceful journey from then on.
Three days later, the Sapphire Crystal armed merchant ship successfully arrived in Kalamanda.
Lux and Ino dragged two huge boxes down the ramp and set foot on the land of Shurima for the first time.
