In the early morning, with the long whistle of the whistle, a new day begins.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard the Everina, I am your captain, Colonel Leo Chesterton......" came a thick baritone voice from the magic loudspeaker, and the captain greeted everyone punctually every morning.

Today, however, there are two more pieces of advice: "Two pieces of advice are to be announced, firstly, as the ship has entered the deep sea area and the wind and waves are strong, please stay away from the edge of the deck as much as possible. ”

"Second, due to the storm a few days ago, we have deviated a little from the course, in order to ensure that we can reach the next destination on time, we are ready to start the magic furnace and move forward at full speed, the next journey may be a bit bumpy, please forgive me. ”

"Again, please return to the cabin as soon as possible, we are going to speed up and you can come out and enjoy the beautiful scenery once the boat has stabilized. ”

As the voice fell, Renard clearly felt that the speed of the ship had increased by two notches, and the whole cruise ship seemed to be flying close to the sea: "What a speed!"

He stood at the highest restaurant and looked down at the distance, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The speed of this ship is twenty knots, let alone twenty knots." ”

Noticing his surprised expression, Leopold couldn't help but start selling his knowledge: "The Evelina is a hybrid ship, which usually sails by a steam engine, but now it is driven by the magic matrix. ”

"There's a magician on board?" said Renard, looking even more surprised.

Although the magic matrix can be carved in advance and then activated by placing magic crystals, it still requires several magicians to operate such a complex and sophisticated thing, that is, there are at least two or three magicians on board.

Viscount Ashley wiped the corners of his mouth and showed an undeniable smile: "Of course, otherwise how can you urge this huge cruise ship." ”

Ever since he learned of Leopold's status as a prince, Viscount Ashley has often mingled with them, and the merchants are all unprofitable guys, and Renard naturally knows what the other party is up to.

"It's really ...... to have a magician power the cruise ship," Renard wanted to say overkill, but he didn't say anything after thinking about it.

"Noble magicians naturally do not provide voluntary labor, many of them are members of the Royal Mage Order of the Empire of Constantinople, and of course there are also students from the major magician academies who volunteer to join them. Leopold explained again.

Ashley is the master of three sentences that cannot be separated from money: "These magicians can make a lot of money from each voyage, you know, a cruise ship makes a trip around the continent, and the ticket alone can earn tens of thousands of gold coins." ”

He smiled strangely: "And it's only the smallest component of income, other entertainment consumption and food and beverage consumption are the main thing, take the casino as an example, it is not too much to describe it as a daily profit."

He took a deep breath and said abruptly: "A trip around the continent, this cruise ship can earn at least 200,000 gold coins, and it is the number after deducting the cost, there are a total of sixty-four cruise ships like this, which is a full tens of millions of gold coins." ”

Although he didn't care much about money, Ashley seemed excited when he talked about such a huge number.

Even Leopor, the prince who didn't eat minced meat, couldn't help but admire: "A trip around the continent can be completed in two and a half years at the earliest, which means that these seventy-four cruise ships can bring a net income of four or five million gold coins to the Constantinople Empire every year." ”

Four or five million gold coins? Renard was so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, but he was afraid that the total output value of the entire Southern Wilderness County plus the barren land would not be more than that.

Although he knew that the nautical industry was very profitable, he did not know that it was so profitable.

Trying to suppress the horror in his heart, Renard raised his knife and fork again, cut a small piece of vanilla cake and put it into his mouth: "If I can get a piece of the pie, I'm afraid I won't have to worry about eating and drinking for a few lifetimes." ”

"A piece of the pie?" Ashley looked at him amusedly, "Do you think the royal family of Constantinople will sit idly by?"

Renard smiled awkwardly when he heard this, knowing that his idea was a little ridiculous, but he couldn't get rid of it, and finally had to suppress it in his heart.

Drink fragrant tea and see the scenery.

For the three of them, it was the most relaxing time of the day, and such a journey would last for about two months, which was a long ordeal.

Renard leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes, the soft sound of the waves in his ears, and the wind chimes in the restaurant swayed gently with the advance of the boat.

After about two hours, he opened his eyes and looked around to see that there were not many diners in the restaurant.

Two notes are pressed underneath the plate, and although the two words written on them are identical, they are both extremely beautiful.

The meaning of the note is roughly the same, nothing more than to see that he slept more deeply, did not disturb, and asked him to pay off the bill or something.

Viscount Ashley also made a vague mention of the issue of tipping, which was clearly a delicate man.

Renard smiled and shook his head, then followed the two men's instructions and walked to the desk, paying the bill and gratuitizing extra.

Of course, he didn't rush back to the room, but wanted to walk in the direction of the training ground.

As the saying goes: learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.

If he doesn't step up his training, I'm afraid that his martial arts will be completely forgotten.

The training ground is located on the ground floor of the entertainment area, with a large area, about 800 square meters, and complete facilities.

The most touching thing is that it provides real combat here, and even has a vindictive martial artist as a sparring partner.

Of course, the price is difficult to say, they were originally soldiers in charge of escorting cruise ships, and they earned some extra money in their spare time.

It was about ten in the morning, and there were many people in the training ground, so he found a secluded corner and began to practice chopping in earnest.

Renard's movements were regular, without any bells and whistles, which was in stark contrast to the young warriors next to him.

However, no one looked down on him, but those young warriors who jumped up and down were like fighting cocks, which made people laugh in their hearts.

Of course, the young warriors themselves don't think so, they feel that their movements are chic and coherent, like rangers.

And when they looked at Renard, there was a lot of disdain and sarcasm in their eyes, after all, those movements were something they had already learned in the beginner swordsmanship class.

Renard didn't care what others thought, and in the face of their provocative eyes, he just curled the corners of his mouth slightly, showed a helpless smile, and then continued to practice his sword seriously.

"Cut! coward!" "Useless thing. ”

After repeated provocations to no avail, the young warriors gradually lost interest and began to practice their own ways.

Two hours later, everyone packed up their things and left, and in another half an hour it was time to eat, and they didn't want to be left behind and eat other people's scraps.
