Chapter Seventy-Three: Embarkation
"Put your brooch on the boat and someone will know who you are......"
"You may meet people with the same purpose as you, and it will be helpful for you to communicate more......"
"When you get to Ellgreen, you have to find Lisa, she has some of my old stuff in addition to the letter you need to give her......."
"Your ship is on the last one, be careful not to get on the wrong ......"
Freya nodded lightly and listened quietly to the old man's instructions, but there was a thoughtful look in her eyes.
The salty sea breeze blew through the car window, and now the season was approaching autumn, and there was a cool feeling.
Soon the carriage stopped at the dock where the carriage was specially housed.
The two got out of the carriage, and Freya hung her cross sword around her waist and carried a suitcase to look into the distance.
The sky was clear, the wind was clear, the sea was calm, and merchant ships were slowly sailing on the sea, either coming or leaving.
On the pier are piles of goods to be delivered and people waiting for ships, and a few white seabirds chirp from time to time, a harmonious scene.
Hegel found a bench under a tree and beckoned Freya over.
Sitting on the bench and placing the suitcase beside her, Freya gently tucked away her hair, which was stray from the sea breeze, and waited quietly with a strange feeling.
The old man on the side didn't seem to be in the mood to speak, just squinted slightly at the sea, not knowing what he was remembering.
In this atmosphere of silence, about ten minutes later, a row of black ships slowly appeared in the calm sea level in the distance, approaching the dock.
Hegel, who was in deep thought, saw the black fleet and stood up.
"The flotilla is coming."
The old man's words caused Freya to turn her attention to the fleet in the sea.
Her good eyesight allowed her to see the general appearance of the fleet, and compared to other merchant ships, these black merchant ships were not much different in appearance.
It was only as the fleet approached quickly that there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"It's so big..."
In her sight, the merchant ships, which were no different from other ships, were huge in size.
Like a high-rise building sailing on the sea, this kind of journey is not much different from the giant luxury cruise ships of the previous life.
As the fleet approached, the originally quiet sea became a little choppy, and a certain number of seabirds were hovering over the fleet, chirping.
Just as Freya was a little shocked by the construction of the huge ship, Hegel, who was next to her, patted her on the shoulder and said.
"Don't look at it, the fleet only stays here for ten minutes, hurry up."
"Oh, good."
Freya, who woke up, immediately picked up her suitcase and walked towards the dock with the old man.
The speed of the huge fleet was fast, and it was not long before it came to shore.
The rows of high-rise ships almost buried half of the dock in shadows, and as soon as they landed, the hatch of the giant merchant ship opened directly and lowered the boarding board.
The workers, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly moved the goods from the ship as if they were rescued.
And Freya and the two trotted directly towards the last huge ship.
When we arrived at the position, the hatch of the last ship had just opened, and the boarding board was bound by two thick black iron chains and slowly lowered, and landed on the foundation stone of the pier with a 'clang'.
Several strong men in black robes quickly stepped down from the boat and stood on either side of the entrance.
Several gorgeously dressed people there were already waiting with their luggage, and when they saw the boarding board falling, they quickly took out cards one by one and handed them to the black-robed people, and then walked up along the boarding board one by one.
There weren't a lot of people on board, and soon it was their turn.
Hegel also took out an identical golden card from his sleeve and handed it to one of the black-robed men.
Freya glanced a little and saw that he was handing over nothing else, but a gold card symbolizing gold coins, and the letters representing numbers on the back of the card made her take a slight breath.
As if not caring about what he handed out, Hegel patted Freya on the back and smiled.
"Go ahead, I've already told you all the things I should explain, pay attention not to forget what I told you."
"Hmm!"
Freya nodded heavily, gathered her mind, pinned the brooch to her left chest, and dragged her suitcase aboard the ship.
Hegel looked at the girl's back lightly, and without turning her head, he waved his hand lightly and turned away.
Not noticing the old man's departure, after Freya boarded the boat, she saw a black-robed man handing out a black sign to the people in front of her, and the people who got the sign immediately dispersed.
And the black-robed man soon walked up to her, handed her a black card, and said in a flat tone.
"This is your room door card, stick it on the door lock to open it, be careful not to lose it otherwise you will have to compensate, the food is available all day, if you need to call it directly, your destination has been recorded, you will be notified when you arrive, is there anything you don't understand?"
"yes, I see."
Freya looked at the number on the sign in her hand indicating the room number and nodded.
Seeing Freya nodding, the black-robed man was about to turn around and leave, when an old man in a green robe walked in slowly before the hatch was closed.
The old man carried a small black leather case in his left hand and a brown wooden staff in his right hand, and his gray hair was unkempt and scattered, but the brown eyes on his old face were bright.
The black-robed man who was about to leave just now saw the appearance of the old man, his face changed slightly, and he immediately trotted up to meet him, and his expression became extremely respectful and took out a red sign from his waist.
"My lord, this is your room key ......"
"Go down."
Before the man could finish speaking, the green-robed old man waved his hand to interrupt it, and swept directly with a wooden staff, but when he passed by Freya, he was slightly stunned, but his eyes were at the pin on her chest.
"I didn't expect there to be talented people here... It's a rarity..."
A soft murmur, just enough for Freya to hear.
She immediately understood that the old man in front of her might also be closely related to the wizard, but before she could do anything, the old man turned around and left with a somewhat stumbling step.
Watching the old man gradually walk around the corner, Freya's eyes flashed, and she still didn't do anything after all.
According to Hegel's previous explanation to her, all those who are related to wizards are full of all kinds of mysteries, and if they don't have the intention of harming others, they don't know how to die.
And she didn't have to try her luck for someone who wasn't even a chance.
'Crunch, crunch'
The boarding board behind him was slowly pulled back by the chains, and the boat began to slowly leave the dock.
Freya stood there and looked around.
"Let's find a room first and then talk about the rest."
She thought for a moment and dragged her suitcase towards the place on the black card.
The slight rocking of the boat on the surface of the sea did not cause her any discomfort, and she soon found her room in a corner of the three-story shipbuilding.
According to the black-robed man's indication, he put the black card in his hand on the door lock, and after a slight 'click' sound, the door was directly opened.
The room was dark, and she took out a white light stone from her waist, and the white light suddenly illuminated the entire room.
Freya put down her suitcase and casually took a look at the room.
The room was spacious, with a mahogany bed, two high-backed chairs, also mahogany, a desk with a tea set and an oil lamp for lighting, and a bookshelf with rows of books on it.
Freya glanced at it, only to see that most of them were novels and biographies, presumably to pass the time.
In addition, Freya actually found that this room also had a compartment, and when it was gently opened, it was a special room for toilets and baths.
If it weren't for the lack of any electrical equipment, she would have thought she was back in that familiar world.
"It's worth 30,000 gold coins... The treatment is just different. Freya muttered a little speechlessly.
She walked to the window and pulled the curtains open, and the sunlight was shining through the round window into the room, feeling warm.
You can still faintly hear the sound of waves coming from the window.
Now that she had just arrived on the ship, she was unfamiliar with the place, and she didn't have the heart to wander around, so she simply took out the meditation manual from her suitcase and prepared to meditate.
At present, after the past few days of training, she can already imagine the level of twelve mysterious runes, according to the meditation manual, if she meditates fifteen runes when she reaches the second-class apprentice physique, then she can simply learn to control a trace of energy particles to enter herself, so as to achieve the process of changing her physique.
However, even if she didn't reach that kind of Cheng dΓΉ now, with the twelve runes she could meditate, she could clearly feel that her body was slowly changing, and this subtle change seemed to have a certain amplification effect on her physique and qi sense, and she faintly felt that her current strength was firmly moving towards the high level of the peak of knights.
It's just that I don't know if this increase will directly allow her to break through the limit and be promoted to the rank of Great Knight... You must know that the strength of the big knight has reached the point of inhumanity, and the ordinary weapon bow and arrow has reached the point of ignoring it at all, unless it is to use people to die or the same level of big knight to fight, otherwise it is difficult to kill a strong man of that level.
"If this kind of change in physique is common, then do wizards also have that terrifying physique?"
Sitting on the soft bed, Freya closed her eyes and entered the meditation stage while thinking wildly, and soon entered the formal meditation......
Life at sea is very dull, and there is nothing particularly interesting after the novelty has passed.
In the next few days, in addition to meditating and reading books in her room, she condensed her swordsmanship in the exercise room in the shipbuilding to continuously improve her strength.
And most of the people who had been on the ship with her, except for one or two that could occasionally be met in the cabin, were also in the room and didn't know what to do.
This life lasted until the fifth day.
In the blue sky, a few white clouds slowly floated.
Freya, dressed in a red dress, stood on the side of the boat, quietly watching the undulating sea.
The strong sea breeze blew her golden hair backwards, and a few days of housekeeping life made her face a little pale, so she planned to come outside to blow the sea breeze and bask in the sun.
There were only a few ordinary people on deck in sailor suits who were busy.
The speed of the giant ship was very fast, and the waves crashed against the hull from time to time, making bursts of noise, and Freya estimated that the ship must have an unknown power system, otherwise it would be impossible to drive such a large ship with the technology of this world.
And the original row of ships, now because of the different destinations, there is only one left of the one she is on.
Although the endless sea is magnificent, it will be aesthetically tired after looking at it for a long time, and the humid sea breeze makes her skirt a little wet, and just as Freya is about to return to the cabin, a small black dot appears in her vision on the sea level in the distance.
And as the ship sailed faster, the black spot slowly became larger and larger.
The course of the giant ship is obviously going in one direction
She narrowed her eyes slightly and beckoned to an ordinary sailor not far from her.
The sailor who was suddenly stopped was stunned, and then saw the brooch on Freya's chest, and his eyes changed and he immediately trotted towards her.
"What's that? Shall we go there? Freya asked, pointing to the black dot in the distance.
"My lord, that's the Mayan port, it's our destination today, we're going to stay at that port for about ten minutes and pick up some people."
"Mayan port?" Freya looked curiously at the port that was getting closer and closer, and thought for a while, "If you didn't guess wrong, this Mayan port belongs to the Kingdom of Bailey, right?" β
"Your Excellency is really knowledgeable, and there is nothing wrong with that."
Hearing the sailor's confirmation, Freya frowned slightly, the distance between the Bailey Kingdom and Rudin had already spanned several large and small countries, but she didn't expect to run so far in just a few days.
She thought for a moment and asked the sailor, "Then do you know when we will be in Elgreen?" β
"Elgreen?" The sailor scratched his head and said, "This... The villain didn't hear about this place..."
"Haven't you heard of it?" Freya raised an eyebrow, she remembered that the black-robed man said that the destination had been recorded when she got on the boat.
ββ¦ My lord, the place you are talking about may be 'kind' of a secret place, I'm just an ordinary person... However, although I don't know, the black-robed adults on the ship definitely know, and if you don't mind, you can ask them. Seeing Freya's expression, the sailor quickly replied.
"Okay, I see, you go down." Freya nodded, knowing something.
Wizards have always been synonymous with mystery, and many ordinary people may not have seen this kind of existence in their lifetime, although these sailors work on ships related to wizards, they only have more knowledge than ordinary people, and wizarding organizations also have secrets, and it is normal for them not to know.
The sailor left, and the black dots in the distance were slowly approaching in Freya's sight, and the general outline of a port city was already faintly visible.
Some of the sailors on deck began to get busy slowly, preparing to do the advance work for the landing.
After about twenty minutes, the giant ship finally arrived at the Mayan port.
Leath, leaning on the side of the ship, looked down and saw that there were many, many more people on board this time than there had been in Dragon Harbor.
The boarding board had not yet been lowered, and the people below were waiting silently.
These people waiting to get on the boat are dressed differently and are of different age levels.
She even saw some boys and girls in the crowd about fourteen or fifteen years old, waiting quietly with their luggage under the protection of their servants.
As she was about to get off the board, Freya suddenly saw some boys and girls take out a special shape of brooches and pin them to her left chest.
