At the tail-burning banquet last month, Haibiqing met Lorraine Hill. That night, the girl wearing a golden bird gauze dress left a very deep impression on everyone present. Haibiqing was
I also lamented in my heart that such a young Golden Sparrow witch was indeed rare. Later, I gradually learned about this person's background from the words of others.
According to the speculation of many people present at the time, this woman should be of royal blood, otherwise the emperor would not trust her so much and entrust her with such a heavy responsibility. In addition, she should be a natural goddess, just like the Phoenix of Five Virtues, with a destiny like destiny.
talent.
After getting this information, Haibiqing naturally would not regard this girl as an ordinary person.
"Young Master Hai is so polite." Lorraine Hill responded with proper court etiquette, and then slowly sat down.
"I came here this time because I wanted to ask the Zhenhai Division for a small favor." The girl said that she was going to sea.
"For such a small matter, why does the miko need to come in person? You only need to repair a letter and our company will send it to you immediately." The chief of the Zhenhai Department on the side responded quickly while stroking his beard.
When he saw the post just now, he thought something big was going on, and he was always worried. Only then did he feel relieved.
The officer then briefly asked about the pass-related matters, and then ordered the adjutant on the side to go and make it. The three people in the hall chatted while waiting.
"I wonder where the miko is going overseas? Nowadays, there are many winds and waves in the endless sea, whirlpools are endless, and sea beasts are rampant. It is not as stable as it used to be." Hai Biqing asked.
"I plan to cross the Endless Sea and head to the Western Continent." This matter is not a secret, and there is no need to hide it.
"I see, but now that there are many dangers at sea, the witch can be accompanied by reliable guards. If there is a shortage, our Bibo Tianhai Pavilion can support some manpower." Haibiqing continued to express his good intentions.
Lorraine Hill thought for a few seconds, then nodded.
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Hai." She really needed some manpower. Rather than looking for it herself, it would be better to let professionals do it.
"That's very good." The chief of the Zhenhai Department on the side also nodded.
"But there has been a little trouble in the Pearl Islands recently. I wonder if Miko-sama knows about it?"
"Did a Sequence 8 sea monster appear?" The girl heard something on the street today.
"Exactly. Compared with land, the sea has a wider area and more food, so there are more ferocious and powerful monsters than on land."
In the current Eastern Continent, monsters that reach Sequence 8 are rare. You can probably count them on one hand. Even if there are some hidden ones, there are no more than 10. But it is different at sea. There are currently two in the Pearl Islands.
, and there will only be more inside the Endless Sea, which is why the navigation route is blocked.
"One of them is a monster in the form of a red octopus, and the other is a giant white-tusked shark. Although the giant white-tusked shark is ferocious, the octopus is more interested in the passing ships."
"If you want to pass through the west end of the Pearl Islands, you will inevitably encounter this octopus, which happens to be blocked in the ocean current route."
The two of them introduced the habits and characteristics of the octopus to Lorraine Hill. Finally, the head of the Zhenhai Division suggested that it would be safer if Lorraine Hill's ships could run parallel to Tianhai Pavilion's fleet for a period of time.
"Then let's do it." The girl nodded.
At this time, an adjutant came in from the side door and handed over the detailed documents required by Lorraine Hill, such as the pass certificate and so on.
The girl took a brief look at it and found that there was not only one document and certificate, but three. Among them were the certificate of the royal caravan, the ordinary sea passage certificate, and the special certificate of Longquan Bay.
"If the miko-sama wants to act quietly, she will naturally use the ordinary copy. If she encounters trouble overseas and needs to ask for help or needs to scare others, she can use the other two copies." The adjutant explained.
It's so considerate. Lorraine Hill nodded slightly, sighing that all the people in the public house are human beings.
After seeing the girl accept it, Mr. Hai also said: "Our Tianhai Pavilion's fleet will set sail in five days. In case of disaster, the Miko-sama's ship can move with us and take care of each other."
Lorraine Hill expressed his knowledge, then said goodbye and left.
On the way back, an elf maid behind the girl stepped forward and said, "That's amazing, little Luolan. Those officials are so respectful to you."
This maid was naturally played by Etesi, who had been following Lorraine Hill just now.
"I have used documents from the Verdant Empire and my identity as an elf princess to find officials of the dynasty before. Although each one was polite, they were not enthusiastic at all. Sometimes the delay was very long, which was tiring and frustrating."
The elf princess complained softly, expressing the Plantagenet Dynasty's slight rejection of the Green Empire.
In fact, the reason for this is not difficult to understand. After all, one of the five phoenixes, Huangyu Zhifeng, died in the attack of the Green Empire. The two countries did not start a war because both sides had restrained themselves. If they want to have a good face, then naturally don't even think about it.
.And in terms of tariffs, the Green Empire is much higher than the Young Berry Kingdom, Verga Alliance, etc.
This is also the reason why Artisi needs Lorraine Hill to come forward. It would be too difficult for her to come to Zhenhai Division to handle the documents for going to sea by herself.
"Now it's time to take me to see your precious ship."
After the two of them boarded the carriage, Lorraine Hill finally asked about the ship that Etesi had prepared before.
"No problem, I just found a reclusive shipbuilder."
"Follow me."
The two of them first took a carriage and drove into the southern corner of Longquan Bay, then passed through a forest path before arriving at a remote beach.
There is a tall white stone dock here, and voices can be heard from time to time.
Before stepping out of the carriage, Lorraine Hill changed her hair color again to look like Lacey, and then followed Etesi into it.
Craftsmen were busy in the dock one after another, constantly overhauling and strengthening components. A beautiful white wooden sea-going ship was lying quietly in the dock.
[White teak sea-going ship] (Excellent Pearl Class): A sea-going ship made of white teak wood (Pearl Class), about 72 meters long, with a displacement of 1,600 tons. It has sufficient cabins to store food and cargo. Because of its extraordinary use
Material, the hull comes with three enchanting effects: [Toughness Lv.4] [Lightness Lv.2] [Wave Splitting Lv.4].
Etesi, the elf princess, spread out her fairy-like transparent butterfly wings, jumped up lightly, flew to the mast of the sea ship, glanced around, and then landed.
"Master Fang Ying, is this ship completed now?"
In front of the elf girl, an old man who was busy giving instructions turned around. He had a gray beard and hair.
"It turns out to be Your Highness Etesi. The ship you entrusted me to build is now basically completed. I am currently doing some decoration inside the ship. If you are in a hurry, you can launch it into the water immediately."
"Thank you!" Atesi then turned around and waved to Lorraine Hill.
Step by step onto the ship made of white teak, Lorraine Hill looked curiously at the master shipbuilder.
She vaguely remembered that the old man Angus rescued in the past also had a surname of Fang. Moreover, their eyebrows were very similar.
