Unlike the eastern city-states, there are not many gentle beaches in the north of Dix. Most of the beaches facing the sea are cliffs, making it difficult to build a port. Therefore, there is only a gentle beach in the north of Dix and a pier has been built for passenger ships to stay. Because Dix is just
There is only one port, and with the increasing development of Dix, the town next to the port slowly expanded into a city. Merchants of all races in the city came and went for business, giving Lily a sense of time and space as if she had returned to the eastern city-state.
However, because they wanted to get out of Erebus's sphere of influence quickly, everyone did not stay in the city longer, but hurried all the way to the dock. There were various ships moored at the dock, and one of them was very eye-catching.
A three-masted sailing ship about 60 to 70 meters long was docked there. Compared with other ships next to it, it looked down on the frail boats around it like a giant.
Originally, Lily and the others just admired the hugeness of the ship, but when Chris led them straight to the ship, Suoyi stammered and asked: "I, we...are going to take a ride on it."
This sea fortress?”
"Sea Fortress?" Chris looked at the giant ship, nodded in agreement and said, "This ship is indeed very strong. When I took this ship before, I encountered an island whale, and the island whale
It hit the hull of the ship head-on, but the ship did not sink."
"Hey! Little girl, you're finally here~" When they came to the side of the ship, a blond man with a turban and a stubble on his face was holding his arms on the deck guardrail and greeted Chris with a smile, "You
He really knows how to cause trouble, and he actually provoked a behemoth like Erebus."
Chris shrugged, raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't talk about me, Uncle Dorje. It's better than the last time you were drunk and hit the island whale with a barrel, which made the island whale angry, right?"
The blond man laughed loudly and said without any disapproval: "You also know that I was drunk at the time, and no one else is like you who has a thousand cups to drink? Okay, girls and boys, hurry up and get on the boat! For you
I've already delayed my flight for three days, and I'm afraid we'll have to move forward at full speed... no, speed up."
For Lily, there is no interest in sailing either a hundred years ago or a hundred years later. When she was on Earth, let alone ships, she had even flown on airplanes. Although she did not rely on electronic products like the main body,
But for Lily, this boring life is worse than turning into a bat and hanging from the ceiling to rest...
And just when Lily stayed in the house and refused to come out, Soy seemed to have opened the door to a new world. The vastness and majesty of the sea miraculously extinguished the anger in his chest - this did not mean that he no longer wanted to go.
He had avenged his father, but he would no longer be burned by the fire of revenge to the point of tossing and turning every day and night like before.
In the following days, Suoyi followed Captain Duoji and asked questions. At first, Captain Duoji thought that Suoyi was just curious and came to ask. Later, he found out that this young man was interested in sailing, so he happily taught him some maritime knowledge.
, and also attracted him to join his fleet.
During the conversation with Captain Dorje, Soy learned that Captain Dorje was a very hard-working man. He left home when he was only seventeen years old. With a sailboat and a few days of dry food, he mapped out the nearby sea area.
detailed sea charts and sold them at a high price, earning the first pot of gold.
Later, he gathered a few partners who got along well and went out to sea for adventure. With his extraordinary intuition and experience, he eventually became the most famous businessman and adventurer in the North Sea and... an occasional pirate.
Although Soy also wants to accept Captain Dorje's request, his father's hatred must be avenged! Those orcs must pay the price!
Hearing that Soy and the others wanted to go to the Orc Empire and take revenge, Duoji frowned: "You want to go to the Orc Empire now? If you just want to take risks, with my guarantee, you can still stay in the Orc Empire."
You can travel around the empire without any worries. But if you want revenge... I'm afraid you can't do it now."
"Can't do it? Why?" Soy looked at Captain Dorje in shock. It seemed that Captain Dorje knew some inside information? This time the Orc Empire suddenly declared war against the human kingdom, which is really surprising, although there is no relationship between the Orcs and humans.
They signed some kind of peace treaty, but they have been peaceful for hundreds of years. This sudden attack is completely confusing.
Captain Duoji touched the stubble on his chin, recalled for a while and said: "I heard from a businessman from the orc tribe a few days ago that the emperor of their empire suddenly passed away, and then he was replaced by a very young emperor. The new emperor vigorously rectified the problems in the past few years.
There was chaos in the country, and they started to develop weapons and military, and then they launched a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Carreta when no one expected it."
"New emperor?" Soy frowned... If this is the case, the new emperor of the Orc Empire must be a very radical hawk, and assassinating human leaders from various countries must be one of his methods.
, after all, if there is no leader, the difficulty of conquering the enemy country will be greatly reduced. Kaletta does not know, but the assassination of the Orc Empire in Blaeno was accidentally prevented by Lily, but the Kingdom of Skell was not so lucky, although the king was irresponsible.
Di left the kingdom and continued his adventure, but his father was still in control of the government, so the assassins killed his father...
When he thought that his enemy was the emperor of a powerful empire... no, it should be said to be an empire, Suoyi couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart. Captain Dorje patted Suoyi on the shoulder and returned to the cabin without saying anything.
, leaving Suo Yi alone on the deck, looking at the place where the sky and the water meet in the distance, lost in thought.
At night, Lily, who was finally willing to walk out of the cabin, took the energetic little Aurelia with one hand and the yawning little Qianyu with the other, and came to the deck. In fact, Lily has been studying when she is not sleeping these days.
Qianyu, little Aurelia couldn't help but feel a little gloating - sister Lily finally stopped tormenting me!
Of course, what little Aurelia doesn't know is that this is only a temporary thing, but Lily's research has made some progress in the past few days. Qianyu's elusive ability was obtained after eating unknown crystals, and Qianyu himself didn't know
How to use it, she relies entirely on instinct to walk through the shadows every time. But Lily thinks that Qianyu has not mastered the essence of this power. If it is just used to escape, this ability is indeed very useful. Under the light, in addition to glowing
Everything in the body has a shadow. And Qianyu's current instinctive ability is to travel through shadows, which means that she can only travel from one shadow to another.
So there is a question - what if there are shadows all around? Can Qianyu travel to any place at will?
After waiting for several days for a cloudy day without the moon and stars, and it was already deep at night, the lights on the deck were dim. After informing the sailors on duty, Lily also extinguished the only light sources.
The entire ship seemed to be swallowed up by darkness.
"Qianyu, let's try it. See if you can shuttle behind...um...that wooden man Soy." Soy is still in a daze...
"O.O?" Qianyu looked at Lily with a cute look on her face. She really didn't know how to use the power in her body. Every time she said, "I really want to get to the master quickly..." and then she came in a swish.
Lily is behind...
Lily couldn't help being speechless. She lit a lamp, pointed at Soy again and said, "This time, go behind Soy."
Suoyi heard someone calling him in a trance, so he turned around. Unexpectedly, before he turned halfway, Qianyu flew over in a swish, and then... knocked him off the boat...
After hurriedly fishing out Soy, Soy smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, please don't wake me up in this way, right? Hiss... the sea water in late autumn is really cold!"
Lily looked at Suoyi's shirtless body wiping the water drops on her face expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "First of all, I am not Elaine's sister, so Suoyi does not need to call me Princess, and secondly, this incident is just a
Surprisingly, the season is not yet late autumn, and besides...the thing holding your head...is it a lobster?"
"Huh?" Only then did Soy realize that there was indeed a heavy object falling on his head. When he reached out and touched it, Soy immediately screamed loudly... It turned out that the animal that looked a bit like a lobster was just a pincer at first.
It was holding Soy's hair, and when Soy reached out to touch it, it stretched out its pliers to shake hands with Soy without hesitation... Well... maybe it used too much force...
