Finally, a cannonball hit the Alice, and the black cannon ball smashed a big hole in the iron sheet, but other than that, it had no effect.
"Young boys, give the stupid geese in Nocasas a whole life before you leave!"
Peters has driven the Alice to the highest speed it can currently possess, and the roar of the machine is speeding across the sea with a man's deadliest romance.
"Wuhu!"
Chai Anping had already sat on the top floor of the cabin on the battlefield, feeling as if he was riding a mecha.
The Noxian fleet behind them had been left far behind by the Alice. Where he couldn't see it, the crew threw waterproof alchemy bombs into the sea one by one through the pipes.
"Damn it! How can this ship be so fast!"
Kallet became even more furious. Their power plant was actually not inferior to the Alice at all. However, their steel battleship was not a wooden ship covered with iron. Its tonnage and displacement greatly slowed down its speed.
Peters' superb boating skills further widened the gap between the two sides.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a warship triggered an alchemy bomb floating in the water. The limited power but full corrosive power of the alchemy bomb immediately melted a hole in the hull of the warship, and seawater surged in.
"careful!"
"Hurry and close the gap!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The alchemy bomb, which was not very powerful but was very troublesome, completely cut off Kallet's ambition to intercept the Alice.
"Damn war mason, why is there no information indicating that this is a specially-made warship!"
Watching the Alice gradually disappear from sight, he angrily hammered the guardrail, leaving a fist mark on the steel.
…
"The Noxian fleet ceases pursuit!"
The news announced by the observer caused cheers from everyone on the ship. The diplomats in the cabin who had just spent two happy days breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief.
On this trip to the sea, there was a storm, another sea monster, and now there are Noxian warships chasing behind...
"Is the current foreign environment already so dangerous?"
There was a little old man with gray hair sighing.
The deck was full of sailors who looked like they had won a battle, and some people took out musical instruments from the cabin and started playing on the drums.
Chai Anping immediately found Peters among the celebrating crowd and executed a righteous backstab.
He stuffed his crow's mouth with a rag to prevent him from making any more shocking remarks.
then……
The Alice finally successfully sailed into the narrow strait between the northern and southern continents.
The color of the sea, which is called the "Tomahawk Straits" by the Noxians and the "Oasis Sea" by the Shurima people, is different from that of the Conqueror's Sea, and it has lost more of its deep mystery.
.
The humid air blowing from the north is blocked here, causing the sea to be often covered with mist.
"We can reach Piltover in a few days!"
…
Piltover is a technological city cloaked in medieval garb. The buildings are full of elegant artistic atmosphere, using marble, bronze grids and various kinds of shiny glass as the main body. The architectural style is exaggerated and full of amazing imagination.
As the center of trade and culture for the entire continent, the city's wealth is unparalleled in the world.
There are many mechanized structures exposed on the majestic high walls, and the golden alloy makes the whole city look resplendent.
There are also facilities based on the scattered old buildings. The towering towers are inlaid with luxurious gold and silver textures. There are external corridors connecting the towers to each other, and some can even be used for carriages and horses.
No, Piltover has long abandoned low-end power such as animal power. Most of them use a form of transportation called a "spinner," which is similar to stuffing motorcycle parts into a huge metal round wheel.
The round wheel is a tire that rotates when running, and the slender single wheel is made upright by some unknown black technology.
Very cool!
Chai Anping knew a lot about Pi City. The closer he got to this "advanced light" in Valoran, the clearer the memories in his head became.
Completely opposite to being weak and shivering when he first crossed over, he is now full of desire to explore Pi City.
The Alice sailed on the vast sea for several more days. On a hazy and foggy morning, the sailors who got up early finally saw the towering steel wall above the sea under the rays of the rising sun in the distance.
"Sight of land!"
The huge sea gate and towering peaks known as the "Gate of the Sun" are slowly revealed to the eyes of the crowd watching from the information station to the deck.
Some people who had never seen such a magnificent scenery in their lives were so surprised that the sea gate as high as the mountain directly cut off the strait from the Watcher's Sea to the east.
“Spectacular.”
What is very different from the magnificent sculptures in Demacia is that even looking at it from such a distance, you can feel the charm of technology attached to this magnificent miracle.
Chai Anping couldn't help but feel a little excited when he looked at the destination he was about to arrive at.
The Alice is surrounded by many ships from all over the world that have gathered here because of Piltover. The scene is far more prosperous than White Cliff City. Some diplomats are envious of it - Demacia also has
What a suitable harbor!
If Demacia had such a scene of all nations coming to court, they would be able to laugh out of their dreams!
Of course that's impossible...
Of course, Piltover has more than just the Gate of the Sun and a large sea lock. There are pointing buoys floating on the sea, and there are guide boats with lights on their heads 24 hours a day to dredge the channel under the sea lock.
Chai Anping was greeted by Sir William and went back to trim his appearance. They all used the remaining fresh water on the ship to take a quick bath and then put on the robes suitable for Demacia's mission abroad.
Chai Anping's official identity is still the leader of the diplomatic corps, and he is also wearing civilian clothes. His slightly elegant white robe is extremely finely made and has the emblem representing Demacia tattooed on it.
On weekdays, everyone is smelly of sweat due to water conservation, but now after taking a shower, a group of people gather together and the air seems to be much fresher.
As the ship approached the Sun Gate, a small guide ship buzzed towards the Alice.
After all, ships like the Alice are rare!
"Please stop the boat!"
The staff of the guide boat first climbed onto the deck along the rope ladder dropped from the Alice: "Good morning, gentlemen, why are you coming to Piltover on such a large sailing ship?"
Chai Anping's deputy, Bennett Williams, the serious diplomat who was actually in charge of foreign affairs during this trip, stepped forward and showed him the credentials in his hand.
"We are a diplomatic mission from Demacia. Your Chamber of Commerce Alliance should have received official documents before."
"Uh-yes!"
Not surprised by the arrival of such a diplomatic mission, the staff politely checked the tokens and then respectfully left: "Please let the ship follow us and take a special channel."
"OK."
Nate Williams nodded with a smile.
The Alice followed the guide boat and sailed slowly toward a slowly opening gate, casting a huge shadow.
Chai Anping looked at the heavy valve pulled up by the piston machine. Sea water rolled down from the iron wall, and the light belonging to Piltover came through from inside...
His scalp was slightly numb, and the blood was accelerating in his body:
