Chapter 183 The Procurement Matters of the Floating City Lord
Just as the floating city was flying towards the new Star Chaser anchored on the Mashunya River at a "high speed" of 7.1 kilometers per hour, several ships were already parked next to the Star Chaser.
These ships were basically convinced that the Star Chaser was related to the floating city that had just taken off, and came to see the situation.
The bosun who led the remaining sailors was in a dilemma. He had repeated it countless times: "I am just a housekeeper. I don't even know what the rescue team is going to do. I'm not sure if they floated the floating city." . ”
"Do you think we will believe you if you say this?" the captain of another ship said, and the others immediately agreed: "Yes, yes!"
The boatswain smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Otherwise, you guys will catch me and put me to death."
Several captains looked at each other. In fact, they all had some "private work" in private, such as helping an organization or a noble to collect intelligence along the way, and they had also done the kind of torture of people, but now - who dares to touch the world now? People from the team!
Maybe the enemies the rescue team had to face dared to move, but everyone present came with the mentality of "making friends", so they could only apologize.
Boatswain: "It's useless for you to laugh. I really don't know! I know what you want to do by touching your pockets. It's useless to give you money. If you don't know, you just don't know."
At this time, a merchant ship captain said: "I have heard for a long time that the captain of the salvation team is a man who can convince people. When I saw it today, it turned out to be the case. Seeing the loyalty of this big brother, I am very sure that the captain has a good command of his subordinates."
The boatswain laughed angrily: "Whatever it takes, I really don't know. Even if you ask the brothers who stayed behind, they won't know either! You should wait until the members of the rescue team come back and ask them. They should be back soon." Okay, you won’t miss anything if you wait.”
Several merchant ship captains looked at each other.
"Then we can only wait." One of them said, and the others nodded.
After a while, they released homing pigeons and explained the situation to their respective shipowners, informing them that their arrival might be delayed.
Then, no one expected that they would wait all day.
Throughout the whole day, they watched the floating city slowly grow in size, from a small dot on the horizon to an extremely oppressive behemoth.
The only problem is that this behemoth has a lot of sail-like things hung on it.
Wind-powered floating city?
Facing new questions from the captains, the bosun was still the same as yesterday: "I don't know, don't ask me! The floating city just happened to have floated over, why don't you just fly up and ask the rescue team."

Wang looked down at the river below and found that more than half of the river was blocked by anchored boats. He couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on? The Star Chaser is besieged? Nini, come and see, is there a battle below?"
Nini shook her head: "There are no signs of fighting. Our stay-behind team on the deck of the Star Chaser are all standing well, and they don't look restrained."
Wang: "Could it be that all those ships saw the floating city and came to find the Star Chaser to ask about the situation?"
Rosalie: "That should be it. How about it? Have you thought about how to show up in front of the merchant captains who are looking forward to it?"
Wang: "Xiaobai!"
Xiaobai responded "Oh" and then turned into a griffon.
The king mounted the gryphon and said to the others: "Wait up there and contact us with the sound transmission stone!"
Then he clamped the griffon's belly, and Xiaobai rose into the air and spiraled down.
When we arrived on the deck of the Star Chaser, there was indeed a large group of people waiting for us that Wang had never seen before.
One of them stepped forward and asked directly: "Excuse me, this floating city..."
Wang: "This is the Cyclops Floating City. Just after it was built, the Cyclops Empire was destroyed. It fell asleep before it was activated. I activated it, and now I am the city lord of this floating city!"
The captains looked at each other, and finally the captain who just stepped forward said: "This is an unprecedented event, a major change unseen in a century..."
Wang: "Wait a moment, I have more important things to do. You can tell me later. Do you know where I can buy sails? There are also masts, rigging, etc. I need them urgently now."
The captains were all confused. The Cyclops Floating City was something that only existed in legends. Some people even regarded it as a myth and did not believe it really existed. Now the guy who activated this floating city asked where the sails and sails were.
Mast for sale?
Does this floating city really float by the wind?
"Well," it was the captain who spoke first, he seemed to have become the representative of the captains, "we don't have canvas and masts to sell, maybe you should go to the dock in Qianshui City? It's just downstream, there's a lot left along the way.
It’ll be there soon.”
Qianshui City is the de facto "capital" of the river countries. Although the river countries do not recognize this de facto capital, the close economic ties allow this city to influence everything in the entire river countries.
The Duke of Frank, the country that has made Shallow Water City its capital, also regards itself as the leader of the river kingdoms.
Of course, they didn't say this publicly. After all, the last country that publicly said that it was the leader of the river kingdoms ended up being beaten up by Monrovia.
Wang: "Shallow Water City, the capital of the Principality of Frank, is right. You can definitely buy everything we need there. So it's settled. Boatswain, after we move the Star Chaser up there later, you will be upgraded to... uh,
Can you operate an airship?"
At this time, other captains belatedly discovered that there was a dwarf airship in the sky. Although this thing is not as rare as the floating city, it is still a rare thing, and many people may not see it once in their lifetime.
The boatswain looked embarrassed: "If you ask me to be the captain, I might be able to do it, but if you ask me to be the captain of a dwarf airship, I can't do it. If nothing else, I can't handle those dwarf machines. We only know how to sail.
Your...your dwarf airship is also wind-powered?"
Wang: "That's not the case. Okay, let's float to Qianshui City. Now we have to land the floating city. The captains are also here. We need to rent the sailors on your ship to work."
"Lease? What are you talking about!" A captain slapped his thigh, "We are willing to work hard for the first floating city owner in history."
Wang: "No, you should just take the money. After all, we don't intend to let you visit the inside of the floating city. You took the money and did the work, and you can do whatever you have to do."
