Act XV. The Nautilus

Nautilus.

Seventy yards long, with a carrying capacity of more than 3,000 tons, thirteen guns on the left and right, the latest shipbuilding technology and a magically treated hull, this huge sailing ship can make it a new hybrid sailing ship in the sea at a speed of more than 30 knots.

"What a big ......"

Irandel looked up at the ship that had condensed the wisdom of the people of Firut and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Firuts are roughly divided into two branches, the South Firuts who live in the scorching desert south of the Wendland Federation, and the North Firuts who have formed the North Austrian League on this endless ocean. ”

Liliana explained, glancing at the cabin where the cargo was being soured.

"Ma'am, you are really knowledgeable, in fact, the Northern Orlinsis Alliance is not entirely composed of Firuts, of the one hundred and twenty-two member states that make up the Alliance, only thirty-nine are countries composed entirely of Firuts, and the remaining twelve are purely human countries, two El-nation countries, and the remaining sixty-nine are all mixed states in the form of parliament. ”

Chia added, leading Liliana and the others slowly into the cabin along the VIP passage.

It has to be said that the Nautilus does live up to its name, the interior is decorated with non-moisture-resistant mahogany, along the corridor, you can see the flow of people coming and going like ants in the port outside, and the cabins on the other side are lined up, waiting for guests to check in.

Glancing into the cabins, Irandall saw that the rooms were very spacious, with all the furniture, tables and chairs, not at all like the rooms on a ship with limited space.

"This is second class, and many businessmen choose to stay here in order to save money. ”

Kia said that there was a bearded man in front of him, carrying a suitcase into a room.

"Oh, Monsieur Bordeaux, what good things have you brought with you this time?"

When he saw the other party, he immediately greeted him, showing a flattering smile.

"Cowhide from Wendland, and some trinkets from Charandall's old friend who asked me to bring me, Chia, would you like to take a look at it later?" ”

The man named Monsieur Bordeaux was very cheerful, obviously close to Chia, and he wanted to hold Chia, but when he saw Liliana and Erandall behind Chia, he dismissed the idea.

"Oh, lady, it seems like this is the first time I've seen you. ”

Bordeaux's gaze swept over Irandal and then rested on Liliana.

"My niece and I are here for a tour. ”

Liliana pursed her lips and kept smiling.

"It seems that this Mr. Bordeaux has traveled all over the world and has many interesting stories. ”

"Hehe, it's just that life is forcing me, so since I was fifteen years old, I've been tossing and turning in various places, and if I can, I also want to find a quiet place to rest. ”

Bordeaux smiled and said nothing more.

"Then I'll go to the room first, and I'll have a drinking party in the evening, hoping to meet you two again. ”

He automatically ignored Lawson, who looked like a handyman behind the two women, opened the door, and walked into the room to make way for the aisle.

"This Mr. Bordeaux is also a frequent visitor to the Nautilus, and he has shops all over the world, and he must have rushed back this time for the full tide festival. ”

"Full tide festival?"

Irandall tilted his head, as if he hadn't heard the term.

"Hey, I thought you came to the Thousand Islands City to participate in the Full Tide Festival, which is the annual event of the North Olympic Alliance. ”

Chia looked back at Irandall with some doubt.

"Of course, participating in the Manshio Festival is also on our itinerary. ”

Liliana hurriedly explained.

"At the beginning of the new year, when the first full tide arrives, there is the Atlantean Full Tide Festival, which will last for a week, during which the largest market on the mainland will be held in Atlantia, and you must not miss it, just three days later. ”

Chia didn't say much, only added a little more, and he led the three of them up the stairs to the cabin behind the Nautilus.

The corridors here are noticeably more spacious, and at first glance it is not at all expected to be in a cabin on the sea, but more like a luxurious hotel somewhere.

"This is the first class, and your room, ma'am, is at the door. ”

Chia opened the hatch, retrieved a bunch of keys from inside, and handed it to Liliana.

"I will also accompany the Nautilus, if there is anything you can ask for, you can come to me to help with it, then, I wish you and your family a wonderful journey. ”

Taking another gold coin from Liliana, Chia saluted, and then slowly left the room, leaving only the three of them standing where they were.

This first class cabin is spacious, almost the size of a normal-sized room, with a variety of functional rooms including a kitchen and living room, and even a staircase leading up to the upper floor.

Rosen looked at the two bedrooms, and he didn't say anything, and walked straight upstairs.

"I see. ”

It was only when he went up to the second floor that he realized why it was called first class.

The entire wall on the second floor is made of transparent glass, so you can see the entire sea from here, and when you go out through the door on one side, you can go straight to the back deck and feel the humid sea breeze.

He checked the security situation around him for a moment, and then walked downstairs.

Then, Rosen discovered that the two bedrooms had been occupied by two women.

Liliana was checking out the amenities in the room on the left, while Irandall sat down directly on the bed on the right.

"Well, I don't need to rest anyway. ”

Rosen shrugged his shoulders and found a chair to sit down in the corner of the living room.

"Are you interested in the evening party?"

Liliana took off her shawl, revealing her snow-white skin, and she walked out of the room to look at Irandall, who was hesitating to change her clothes.

"Not interested. ”

Irandall said, sitting down on the bed and shaking her head.

"I think it's important for us to get to know the situation in Atlantia first, and at the dinner in the evening, we should be able to reach some of the people involved. ”

Liliana sat on the sofa, under her long skirt, revealing her slender legs, which evoked reverie.

"According to my information here, there was a reaction to the Holy Relic in the depths of the Endless Abyss, but after that, it fell silent, and in connection with the current anomaly, I think it is very likely that someone has already obtained that thing. ”

"And what is the purpose of our operation?"

Irandall was a little confused.

"I think it's supposed to be like this, someone found a relic, but after triggering it, he was rejected by various protection measures, he couldn't awaken the relic, and the relic was of a type that was difficult to move, so after getting some clues, he stayed in Atlantia and secretly released the news of the relic, so as to lure others here, hoping that others would solve the mystery of the relic, and he would reap the profits. ”

Liliana explained, opening the champagne that had been sitting on the table for a long time, pouring a glass into the goblet and taking a sip before continuing.

It's just that he didn't expect that the small bait actually caught a big shark. ”
