On April 26, 1856 AD, at the end of the Bud month, Cloud Whale finally entered the territorial waters of the Mindelias Empire. Standing on the top of the windmill tower of Ije Tower, I could see far away.
See the outline of the mainland coastline and the giant shadow of the city looming in the slightly dark clouds.
The cloud whale stopped in the sea still some distance away from the city of Lottana. At the same time, it was wrapped in soft clouds and mist all over the sky, and slowly landed in the sapphire-like clear and transparent blue sea, stirring up the momentum of the stormy waves. They landed.
The area is located on the north bank of the Rostow River, the fourth largest river in Mindelias. This river will flow southward along the Posende Plain, passing through the "City of Giant Mountains" Solo and the "City of Stars".
"Thales, the "Pilot City" Guland and other cities finally merged into the Blue Sky Sea in the "City Around the Sea" Lottana. Its existence made the latter become the top ten port cities in the empire, with a shipbuilding industry
It was once very developed. In the early days of the Age of Navigation, the daily throughput and trade volume of the port were extremely amazing. However, later this glory was gradually overshadowed by the development of tourism, and it is no longer known today.
Among the towering cliffs on the north coast, there is a terrain that is slightly sunken inward. The protruding part is gradually worn away by the accumulation of seawater abrasion and weathering erosion, and finally forms a natural sea arch. Because its calcareous surface is mostly covered with
A kind of lichen called "blue moss" looks like a blue arch bridge from a distance, so it was called "the blue bridge on the blue sky and sea" by the navigators of Baicheng who sailed here. However, there is no scale nearby.
Larger cities are not important routes on the sea, so the name Blue Bridge is only briefly mentioned in the logs of those navigators. It is not widely circulated as a recreational topic after dinner.
At this time, the Cloud Whale was parked quietly in the natural hole of the Blue Bridge that extended to the sea and spanned more than 70 meters. The shadow covered its body and blocked the vicious light above it. Most of its body sank into
Below the sea surface, only the back area with higher terrain and the most luxuriant vegetation is exposed. It looks like an ordinary island, but the plants growing on this island are not the common palm trees and coconut trees in the tropics, but come from distant places.
The ivy trees, summer cherry trees, etc. in the landlocked country of Laisenburg.
The reason why the Cloud Whale is parked here is because Alice still has something important to do, which is to go to the Avenue des Chess Girls in Lottana City to find a few skilled old tailors to make the swimsuit on the drawing
Turn it into a real thing and give soul to the upcoming seaside holiday!
This is a very arduous and dangerous mission. For safety reasons, Alice does not plan to bring too many people with her. She only asks Ringer and Saint Xalia to accompany her, because these two people are her most trusted companions - so
It may make you think that the person leading this operation is Alice, but the actual situation is that she chased Ringer and Saint Charlia for a long time, and finally got them to relent and agree to accompany her to go on the mischief. Isn't it nonsense to risk being discovered and enter the sphere of influence of the United Order just for a few swimsuits? If it weren't for the thread of Saint Shalia's fate to cover it up, and Alice almost swore that she would never
Otherwise, Ringer would not agree to her.
As for the others, they stayed on the island. This was their original intention. After all, Metien still had homework to make up, Olvera still had a novel to write, and Leticia had classes to attend... In short, everyone was very happy.
I'm busy and don't have time to mess around with Alice.
After determining the candidates and targets for this operation, the Qiyu Port trio can set off again and start their adventure. But before that, they must first solve the problem of transportation.
For this matter, the proprietress took several stone spirit guards and worked in the forest for three days, selecting suitable wood, cutting down the selected trees, and then went through a very mysterious process to create them for them.
A... small wooden boat.
Well, it's about three meters long and one meter wide, just enough to accommodate three people sitting in it, and it can only meet two basic requirements, which are to float and not leak.
Storms at sea are basically guaranteed to lead to death. It is a miracle to sail safely for one thousand meters. It is almost impossible to rely on this small wooden boat to cross the sea and land on the coast...
Conditions were limited, so this was the only means of transportation for them to blitz the city of Lottana. After seeing the real thing, Alice was completely unable to connect it with the majestic and domineering three-masted sailing battleship she imagined. She almost wanted to set off the ship.
The waiter said that you were trying to deceive consumers, but the landlady smiled and said, "Don't worry yet."
Then she took the anxious Alice and this small wooden boat to find Iyeta, and asked her to use the royal power of [Great Wind] to buff this thing. As we all know, [Great Wind] even has the center
The island of Rilanthos can blow, and it is even easier to provide strong power to a small wooden boat. Moreover, its affinity with the wind allows it to avoid all kinds of dangerous waves and storms at sea, without worrying about capsizing.
The only slight flaw is that it is time-limited.
"It's probably enough for you to arrive at Lotre-Dana City." Ietta's tone was a little uncertain, because it was her first time to do such a thing. In the past, her power covered the village of Avignon 24 hours a day, so
The local windmill has never stopped. But that is because the windmill does not move and always stays within the scope of the [Great Wind]. The effect is of course significant; while the effect of the ship will gradually weaken as the distance increases.
, so how long this temporary BUFF can last, she can only guess based on her feelings: "By that time, the power of the royal power should have expired, so you may have to find a way to come back by yourself."

"It's okay, it's okay." Alice waved her hands carelessly, not caring: "It's all small things. As long as you can get over it, you will definitely come back. No problem!"
After saying that, she showed a bright smile, her white teeth shining brightly. Ringer next to her wanted to ask on the spot, "Then you should think of a way to come back now." However, considering that he could not start an internal fight before an important action,
So he wisely remained silent.
Iyetta also gave each of the three people a big hug, still carrying out her previous thoughts: when everyone else went out to adventure, although she could only stay here, she would use her hug to bring everyone
Happiness.
Although this adventure is not that necessary.
Later, in order to express the importance of this operation, Alice also held a launching ceremony for the wooden boat she named "Snow Wind". Specifically, she walked majestically at the front, with two
The naive stone spirit guard followed her with a wooden boat and circled the island for about a quarter of a circle - why a quarter of a circle? Because Alice was tired when she got here and decisively announced the end of the ceremony.
, and then pushed the wooden boat into the sea on the spot. Then as the captain, she took the lead and jumped into the cabin first.
But I saw that the Yukikaze sank a lot visibly to the naked eye, and struggled for a while in the sky-blue water like a drowned landlubber. In the end, it held on strongly and gradually regained its balance. This movement could be watched by spectators.
Everyone felt a little scared, and Linge and Shengxia Liya fell into a long silence. After several minutes, Alice reluctantly stepped on board as she repeatedly called "It's okay, it's okay."
Got on the boat.
At this point, Captain Alice, First Mate Saint Sharia and Boatswain Ringo were all ready, and the power of the [Great Wind] began to take effect, propelling this small wooden ship with no adventurous elements to embark on a magnificent journey.
, and the Yukikaze is destined to leave its mark in the history of world navigation...
Our era has begun - Alice's original words.
Is there any need to start this kind of era? - Ringer slandered.
Alice, you are standing too far forward, be careful of falling - Saint Xalia's warm reminder.
