On the way to the City of Thousand Islands, out of gratitude to Gao Jing, Huo Xiong answered all his questions.
It gave Gao Jing a deeper understanding of the Endless Lake, the City of Thousand Islands, and even the Land of the Ancestral Dragons.
However, as the saying goes, seeing is worth hearing a hundred times.
No matter how much you hear, it is far less shocking than seeing the Endless Lake with your own eyes!
The color of the Endless Lake is very strange. It is light blue near the shore, gradually turns to sky blue, and then to dark blue as it goes deeper.
Standing on a high mountain overlooking this legendary lake, the most powerful giant will feel his own insignificance.
It is said that the endless lake has no other shore and is unfathomable.
It is said that many people once wanted to explore the other side of the Endless Lake and organized large-scale fleets to sail westward.
As a result, most of these people never came back and disappeared completely.
And those who were lucky enough to survive mostly kept secret about this experience. Occasionally, a few words were revealed, all describing the horror in the depths of the Endless Lake.
Huge storms, ferocious monsters, mysterious fog, and weird ghost ships...
All these lead people to believe that no one can reach the other side of the Endless Lake, and that exploring it is a desperate adventure and a very foolish act.
However, although the Endless Lake has all kinds of terrifying legends, as long as you don't go deep into this big lake, the area along the lake is still quite safe and beautiful.
Islands of various sizes are dotted along the long shore of the lake.
Some of these islands are covered by lush forests, while others are bustling cities with towering wizard towers erected in the sky.
The islands that are very close to each other are connected to each other by huge stone bridges.
Remote islands are transported by boat.
It's almost dusk, and the setting sun casts billions of rays of light on the big lake, making the sparkling waves beautiful.
Countless ships are sailing between the islands, with white sails in pieces, and the lake wind blows with moist water vapor. The scene is like a dream, making the newly arrived Gao Jing feel a little intoxicated.
"The City of Thousand Islands is the most beautiful city in the wilderness."
Huo Tong, who was accompanying Gao Jing, said softly: "No one!"
The beautiful eyes of this female knight reflected the scenery of lakes and mountains, and her love and affection for this city could be seen.
The City of Thousand Islands is said to be a city, but in fact it is a kingdom of vassals.
It consists of the main whale island and thousands of islands. It has a population of millions and is quite powerful.
After passing the mountain pass, along the flat and open road, the Huoluan Merchant Group arrived at the shore of Endless Lake.
This is the east coast of the Endless Lake.
Of course, the east coast is very long, but this section is the transportation hub to the main island of the City of Thousand Islands and other islands.
Grand Quay area.
There are a large number of berths built along the shore of the lake, with large ships moored neatly and densely packed with masts.
Many sailors and handymen were busy in the dock area, making it a busy scene.
"Your Excellency Gao Jing."
Huo Xiong said apologetically to Gao Jing: "Our business group is going to unload and trade here. I'll ask Huo Tong to accompany you to Giant Whale Island to exchange for Star Rail. Do you think it's okay?"
The main island of Giant Whale is far away from here, and it takes three days to get there by ferry.
The Huo Luan Merchant Group brought a large amount of goods, and although they were trading with people in the east coast dock area, it was still a very cumbersome and important matter. As the leader, Huo Xiong really couldn't get away.
And Gao Jing was anxious to leave.
Gao Jing understood: "No need to go to such trouble. If you have the trust, I can just go there myself."
His purpose in coming to the City of Thousand Islands was to find the land of the Ancestral Dragons, and his top priority was to join Huang Ying to avoid worrying this senior sister.
Exchanging star iron is not that important, and having Huo Tong accompany him is even more inconvenient.
Gao Jing didn't notice that a look of disappointment flashed across Huo Tong's face.
Huo Xiong smiled and said: "Of course no problem!"
He immediately wrote a bill of lading for Gao Jing, listed the specific exchange amount on it, and finally stamped it with a totem seal.
Coupled with a personal voucher, Gao Jing took this bill of lading to the Huoluan Merchant Group Headquarters on the main island of Giant Whale to withdraw the exchanged Star Iron.
In addition, Huo Xiong also arranged a fast boat for Gao Jing to go to the main island of Giant Whale.
"Your Excellency Gao Jing."
When they parted, Huo Xiong regretfully said to Gao Jing: "This time is too unlucky. I will also go to the main whale island in four or five days. If you are still there, please be sure to meet again at the main branch."
.”
"It depends."
Gao Jing smiled and said, "See you later."
He said goodbye to Huo Xiong and others and left the dock on a speedboat.
The speedboat Gao Jing boarded was small in size, barely worth mentioning compared with the larger ships next to it. Moreover, there were only three captains and sailors, so they looked like a family.
But this small boat sailed very fast, leaving behind several large ships that had just set sail in the blink of an eye.
Gao Jing curiously asked the young sailor standing by the mast who was manipulating the sail: "How long does it take for this ship to reach the Giant Whale Island?"
The dark-skinned boy grinned: "Sir, we will be there tomorrow afternoon."
Gao Jing thought for a while and then asked: "What about going to Linyuan Island?"
"Linyuan Island?"
The young man scratched his head: "Sir, that is the island where the Yuan people live."
Gao Jing smiled and said, "I know."
The situation in the City of Thousand Islands is very different from that of King Nero. Although this peculiar city also allows the existence of Yuan people, except for a very small number of privileged Yuan people, most people are restricted to one place.
That’s Linyuan Island!
The final destination of the airship he and Huang Ying took was Linyuan Island.
Instead of the main island of Giant Whale.
"grown ups."
At this time, the old captain in charge of controlling the helm replied respectfully: "It would be faster if we go to Linyuan Island now. We can arrive at noon tomorrow."
Gao Jing said decisively: "Then let's go to Linyuan Island."
The young man and the old captain looked at each other, and the latter replied awkwardly: "Sir, there is a prohibition from above. We cannot get close to the ten-mile sea area of Linyuan Island, otherwise..."
This ban is actually to protect the safety of Yuan people, otherwise it would not take many giants and extraordinary beings to turn Linyuan Island, which is full of Yuan people, upside down.
Gao Jing said calmly: "It doesn't matter, you just need to send me to the outside of the penalty area."
The old captain hesitated for a moment and then replied: "As you command, my lord."
He received a high reward from Huo Xiong, who specifically told him to provide Gao Jing with the most thoughtful service.
Huo Xiong also hinted that Gao Jing was no ordinary person.
Gao Jing wanted to go to Linyuan Island and didn't ask them to break into the restricted area, so there was no reason to refuse.
The old captain did not dare to offend Gao Jing.
The speedboat immediately adjusted its direction and headed towards Linyuan Island.
