Chapter 102: The Land of the West
Linhai Cityββ
Rinkai Castle exists as the westernmost port city of Tonokuni, and a large number of cargo and passenger ships travel between the two countries every day. The port occupies almost a third of the city's size, and the abundance of seafood is also a feature of the city, and the snack street that serves seafood is also crowded every day.
[Boss, bring me two more grilled flying fish!] γ
A crisp and energetic girl shouted loudly to the owner of the snack bar from where the guests had gathered.
[Add one more crystal snail!] γ
This time the order was a boy at a table with a girl, a table of four people, three women and one man all looked like adventurers, the boss's favorite is these adventurer guests, because they are usually willing to spend money on food and drink, a meal of seafood and a lot of ale can usually earn a lot of copper coins.
[I didn't expect that there are so many kinds of seafood besides fish, I should have come to this city earlier, and these fish are much cheaper than what we eat in other places.] Hey, Captain Saltyfish, are you listening to me! γ
[Of course, this is a coastal city, but you think it takes a lot of effort to transport those seafood to inland cities with space equipment. γ
[Oh, I see, I've been discovering a lot of things that Captain Salted Fish knows a lot lately.] γ
After a week's long journey, Emerald and his party finally succeeded in arriving at their target Linhai City, and after a night's rest, Emerald and Tangerine were firmly attracted by the seafood at noon the next day. As soon as the time for lunch came, he pulled Liu Xianyu and Xingyue to come here to eat seafood.
[Let's wait a while, and after we finish eating, we'll go over there and ask if there's a boat to the West Country in the evening.] γ
Liu Xianyu said to Jade while eating the last conch on the plate.
[Eh...... Wouldn't it be okay to stay one more day? People haven't eaten enough, and there are a lot of food over there that they haven't seen before! γ
Jade said to Liu Xianyu with a regretful face.
[If you want to eat, it's the same when you wait until the Nishino Country side to eat.] γ
γThe dish you want is here!γ γ
The waiter brought up the two people, and the fried crystal snails with all the color and flavor and the flying fish roasted just right immediately made Liu Xianyu and Jade forget about the boat, and as for Tangerine, he didn't even have time to speak, and kept eating with a happy expression.
[Don't worry, there are boats to the West Country anytime and anywhere, as long as the money is enough, there are boats whenever you want to go. γ
Xingyue said as she sipped her ale.
When Xingyue came here last night, she was going to look for her teammates directly, but after practicing with the Rubik's Cube, she learned that several of his teammates were supposed to come back from the West Country a few days ago, but they encountered something on the way and missed the return boat, and the money on them was not enough to buy a ticket for the second trip, so they could only take some tasks over there first, and praise enough money to buy a new ticket back.
[But then again, are the tickets so expensive?] γ
Liu Xianyu didn't care about this matter yesterday, but today he suddenly remembered that he was a little curious about how expensive the ferry ticket would be, so that an adventurous team could not even afford a ticket for the return trip.
[It's not cheap, ordinary tickets cost almost 50 silver coins per person, and there are luxury cabins no matter how expensive they are.] γ
Xingyue put down her wine glass and said to Liu Xianyu.
[It's not too difficult to accept the price, I'll go over and take a look after eating later.] γ
It took about an hour to finish this lunch, and the group of four people was divided into two sides, Tangerine and Xingyue went to the street to be responsible for purchasing some food, and Liu Xianyu and Jade came to the port together to inquire about going to sea.
Passing through the crowd at the reception desk in the hall, a man with a mustache took their inquiry.
[If you want to go to the West Country, the nearest should be the Sea Emperor at noon tomorrow, the Emperor is the fastest dual-power magic energy technology ship that takes three days to cross the sea, but the ticket price is a little expensive, if you are not in a hurry, you can do an ordinary passenger ship at night, but the time is longer, about five days. γ
Considering that Tangerine couldn't adapt to taking a boat in the river before, it was more likely that he would be seasick for sailing, and Liu Xianyu decided to end the trip at sea as soon as possible.
[We want to buy three tickets for the Sea Emperor, the boat tomorrow at noon.] γ
The man listened to Liu Xianyu's decision, lowered his head, flipped through the notebook below, and then took a piece of paper from the top and wrote the number of people and the price of their ferry tickets on it.
[Go over there and pay the money.] γ
The man gestured to the opposite window.
Finally, after paying the three gold coins, Liu Xianyu got three translucent cards that seemed to use magic energy technology, and the top of the cards used magic energy to write the ship's departure time and departure time in magic energy characters, put away the cards, and Liu Xianyu and Jade left the ticket office.
As they left the port, a blonde man in a white robe caught Liu Xianyu's attention, the man's robe embroidered with a golden sheep's horn pattern, and a small basket hanging from his hand, which seemed to be holding something in his hand to distribute to everyone who passed by.
As the distance approached, Liu Xianyu heard the man's words.
[Come and believe in the goddess, if you join now, you can get a special mini goldenhorn doll!] γ
[Is the little sister over there going to become a believer in the goddess? Now write your name on this piece of paper to get this cute doll. γ
The man picked up the small white sheep doll in his hand and said to a little girl passing by, the little girl looked at the cute doll with some eagerness, but was stopped by the man next to her.
[Don't sign in strange places casually, what if it's a bad guy! ] γ
[Don't worry, please look at the golden-horned sheep on my robe, I am a serious high-ranking priest of the Goddess Sect, and I will never do such a dirty thing! γ
The man turned around in a gorgeous way, and the white robe spun in a circle in the air, and the golden horn pattern on the back stood out in the sunlight.
[I always feel that if I get close, there will be trouble, let's go around him...... Jadeite? γ
Liu Xianyu turned his head and found that Jade was no longer behind him at some point, and then looked back in the direction of the man, Jade was holding a pen and writing something on the man's paper.
[What are you doing!] γ
Liu Xianyu quickly stepped forward and pulled the collar of Jade's clothes and pulled her away.
γThe doll is cute I want it!γ γ
Jade looked at Liu Xianyu with reflective eyes.
[Then you can't just sign in a strange place!] γ
Liu Xianyu snatched the paper from the man's hand, and the man did not look angry at all, but hugged Liu Xianyu's shoulder and said to him with a hippie smile:
Oh, my friend, how can this be a strange place? What an honorable thing it is to become a believer in the Goddess, please rest assured that we have no compulsory obligation and no compulsory levy, all actions are motivated by the teachings of the Goddess and the spontaneity of the believers. γ
[Come, come, please listen to me tell you the teachings of the great goddess. γ
The man grabbed Liu Xianyu and started the brainwashing mode.

That's right, the symbol of the Goddess Cult is the goat's horn, the common believers and low-ranking priests are gray, the high-ranking priests are golden, and the Pope wears a golden crown on his head. By the way, the favorite pet of the legendary goddess of nature is a golden-horned lamb.
