Chapter 245: A Long Journey by Land
One stop is three days.
Eventually, the temporary port became the final stop of the voyage.
In fact, Captain Field had immediately sniffed something unusual about the unusual increase in the number of ships entering the harbor after the storm had stopped.
And after sending sailors to the tavern to inquire about the sailors who came down from the ships that came to dock later, Captain Field got the news that the route to the north had been interrupted!
According to a drunken drunkard, their ship was sailing north when it encountered a terrifying giant whirlpool and almost sank into it!
The point is that such a giant whirlpool does not appear alone, but dozens of them exist at the same time, mixed with other large and small whirlpools and undercurrents to form a transverse giant whirlpool belt, which is filled with a fog that covers the sky and completely interrupts the course!
Luckily, they found it early, and they only got to the edge of the whirlpool before they could finally pick up a life!
And when they turned the bow of the ship to leave, the fog that filled the whirlpool suddenly dissipated a little, and they were so frightened by the glimpse of what appeared that they wanted to grow wings and flee immediately!
When this was said, the drunken drunkard's hand holding the bottle was still trembling, and after taking a long sip of wine, he said in a still trilling voice: "I can assure you, it's a giant whale as big as a land!"
"Although I only saw a little bit ......"
"The gods are above, and its back is as tall as a mountain!"
"Its huge eyes emerge from the depths of the ocean, shining brightly!"
"I dare to swear in my father's name!"
"It was definitely a giant whale - it was hundreds or thousands of times bigger than all the whales we knew - but I was absolutely not mistaken, the huge column of water that shot up into the sky, it was the sign of a whale!"
"Uh......"
And then ...... Then ......"
"Gross-"
At this point, the drunkard was so drunk that he vomited on the ground very simply, and then fell to the table.
While the credibility of what the drunkard said in the end was debatable, at least he was right about one thing, and that was that a giant whirlpool had indeed appeared at sea, interrupting all northward routes!
This is also a fact that many ships that want to sail north confirm it personally!
Eventually, the ships that wanted to head north and eventually reach the Northland had no choice but to dock at various nearby ports.
As a result of this event, the sea temples or sea altars built in these ports received large sums of offerings and prayers, and the shipowners, who were anxious about the blockage of commerce, even spontaneously held large sacrifice ceremonies, hoping that the goddess of the sea would solve the matter.
In the end, the large-scale sacrificial ceremony successfully attracted the attention of the goddess of the sea, and an oracle was issued
- First, it all originated from the "Sea Covering Dragon Whale", a demigod creature that had been sleeping in the deep sea, but had recently awakened and started to move!
- Second, a divine envoy has been sent to negotiate with him, and it is expected to be resolved within half a month!
After receiving this news, all the shipowners couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and the distress in their hearts was also a little lighter because of the huge cost of holding a large-scale sacrifice ceremony.
Although the goddess of the sea, as the goddess of the evil camp, is feared by his wickedness and cruelty, she has never been a god who does not believe in her word, and what she says will definitely be fulfilled!
Compared with the immeasurable loss caused by the disruption of the route, the cost at this time is small.
For the shipowner, he only needs to wait quietly at this time, and everything will return to normal after half a month, but for the muse, he doesn't have the effort to waste half a month here, and if he can rush to the mage federation in the north earlier, he will have a little more time to participate in the layout of the [Arcane Revolution]!
Therefore, the Muse went directly to Captain Field and expressed his willingness to continue north by land.
Although Captain Field was surprised, he couldn't say anything under the strong request of the Muse, but he just prepared the necessary supplies and horses for the Muse to travel far away, and when he returned to Hightut at this step, he would be able to give an explanation to the fur seals.
Rejecting Captain Field's suggestion to contact a caravan heading north, Muse, who chose to travel alone, said goodbye directly after getting the supplies and horses, and put on a gray robe under Captain Field's subtle gaze.
"I don't know which nobleman's son is watching too many knights sneak out of the family and want to do something......"
"How can things in the world be so easy, they will be as ...... as the story told in the knights"
"In the end, I guess I'll hit my head and bleed in the cruel reality......
Thinking so, Captain Field turned around and walked into the bustling harbor.
The muse, who did not know that he was characterized as a knight's poisoned nobleman, was already meeting with two gray-robed men leading horses on the side of the road.
The three of them naturally formed a small group, and rode their horses and began to move silently along the potholed road, which could only be said to be a little better than the wilderness.
And in the process of moving forward, the gray robe was swept up by the oncoming wind, revealing the true face of the people hidden underneath, except for the muse, the other two were Luden and Lu!
As for little Nicole......
Truth be told, with her strength she was a burden on such a long journey, and the Muse placed her in a half-dimensional arcane tower to study after she woke up, and had no idea of keeping her by her side at this time, only occasionally giving advice through remote contact.
In this process, it is inevitable that little Nicole will feel lonely and lonely, but this is also a stage of training that Arcane apprentices must go through to advance to Arcanist!
The more the Arcanist learns on the long journey of discovering the truth, the more he will feel small, and the emptiness, loneliness, and even fear he will feel are definitely much more terrifying than this emotion that arises from the emptiness and lack of people!
If you can't even overcome these emotions, you can't become a true Arcanist!
At least it was impossible for the Muse to train such an arcane apprentice, and if little Nicole couldn't even get through this kind of experience, then there was no need to talk about anything else.
But judging from the current situation, little Nicole is still doing well, and if little Nicole can continue to perform like this when she arrives in the Mage Federation, the Muse will start teaching her the true secrets of the Arcanist!
