Wen Long looked up, and sure enough, he saw a huge black merchant ship anchored in the harbor.

"It's huge...... It seems that this Blackstone is indeed not lying, and can really be called the largest ship in the harbor, Meow. At this moment, even Wenlong had to admit it.

In front of Wenlong's eyes, the large merchant ship is black, and unlike the ordinary merchant ship, the cabin occupies a large proportion of the hull, this black merchant ship not only has a relatively large cabin, but also has a wide and solid deck that is completely incomparable to ordinary merchant ships!

Just as Wen Long and the others were standing on the edge of the harbor and surprised by this strange merchant ship, a man wearing a luxurious and colorful captain's uniform but a little hunchbacked walked over.

"Hello, I'm the captain of this ship, Espinosa, and you're the hunter on this capture mission, right? My ship is ready to go at any time, I don't know if you are ......"

"We're ready, meow." Wen Long also said.

"That's great, it's great to be able to go right away...... After all, time is money...... "As soon as Espinosa heard that Wen Long and the others would be about to leave, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and then he beckoned, "Then hurry up and get on the boat!" ”

So Wen Long and his party followed Espinosa through a makeshift wooden bridge to the huge black merchant ship.

Although Wen Long felt that this ship was really big when he was below, it wasn't until he really stepped on this black merchant ship that Wen Long really sighed how strong the financial resources of this Black Stone Chamber of Commerce were.

"Sure enough, it's not bragging, this merchant ship looks like a warship...... Meow. ”

I don't know if it's to prevent monsters from attacking at sea, so this so-called merchant ship also has a lot of artillery, and the sailors on board are all strong and powerful, and they also carry swords, which even reminds Wen Long of the Viking on the earth where he once lived.

"Hehehe. Don't be scared, although my men are all armed with swords, but we are really just merchants......" Seeing Wen Long and the others on the ship, Espinosa also said with a smile. However, in Wenlong's opinion, it's good that this person doesn't laugh, not only will he not make people feel affinity when he laughs. It's even more annoying.

"What does a merchant do with a knife? Meow? So Wenlong asked.

"Yes, of course...... It's used to cut the cable, and as we all know, when there is a storm at sea, sometimes you don't have time to lower the sail, so you have to cut the cable with a knife......"

"Oh......" Wen Long pretended to know, and then asked, "What about these things?" What is it used for? Meow? ”

When asked, Wen Long pointed to the two rows of thick black iron pillars on the deck.

These two rows of thick black iron pillars were placed side by side on either side of the deck, six on each side, for a total of twelve such pillars. And each pillar was also wound with a fine steel chain as thick as a bowl, and on the top of the fine steel chain could even be seen mottled dark red bloodstains.

"Oh...... You say these pillars......" explained Espinosa patiently, "these pillars and the fine steel chains on them are used to bind the dragons. As hunters, you know how big a wyvern is, right? It's much bigger than the Golden Retriever Beastmaster we're going to capture this time! Therefore, there was no way to put it in the hold of the ship, so it had to be tied to the deck with fine steel chains......"

"I see, the security measures are really in place...... Meow. ”

"Of course, it's not easy to transport all kinds of monsters from the faraway wilderness and forests to the bustling cities, so security measures must be in place. Although we usually inject the monster with tranquilizers and sleeping pills on time when transporting...... But just in case, it is also necessary to bind the wyvern with these fine steel chains and pillars. ”

"Hmm......" Wenlong nodded. And he said no more.

At this time, the sound of an anchor was heard. This means that this huge black merchant ship is finally about to set sail.

The destination of this hunt was a place called Esther Lakelands.

In Wenlong's memory, this area is the place where the snowmelt of the Ximeilun Mountains converges, with lush vegetation and beautiful scenery, and has the reputation of "Xixiuleide Wonderland".

However, as the name suggests, the snow-capped mountains and rivers have formed several lakes here. And these lakes are not only above ground, but they even flow underground, creating beautiful underground lakes in underground caves covered with natural crystals. It is precisely because of the existence of these underground lakes that the topography of this "Lake Esther" is relatively complex, and there are still many mysterious and unexplored areas in the vast underground lakes.

In this way, Wen Long and the others left Meje Boltan on the merchant ship of the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce, and then headed all the way to the northwest. However, due to a storm on the way, the boat arrived at Lake Esther half a day later than scheduled, and it was only in the morning of the next day that it reached the mouth of a river......

"Here?" Wenlong asked.

"This is the mouth of the river...... The snow melts from the peaks of the Similon Mountains and gathers in Lake Esther to form a large number of lakes, which in turn flow into the ground, forming a large underground lake, and the water of the underground lakes overflows and then flows out through underground rivers, which gradually come out of the ground near the sea, forming the river we see, so you can easily reach Lake Esther if you follow this river upstream! ”

"Oh, I see...... I don't even know about this kind of thing......" Wenlong nodded and said.

"But our boat can only go here, after all, we are a big ship sailing on the ocean, and we cannot enter such a small river...... "Espinosa continued, "and then you will have to go up the river in a small boat, and then you will soon reach the land of Lake Esther...... But I'll still send a few sailors to help you paddle, after all, time is money, and it's good for us to complete the task as soon as possible, hehehe......"

"Well, thank you for that, meow."

In this way, under Espinosa's arrangement, Wen Long, Catherine and Begonia changed boats and began to swim up the river, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see the beautiful scenery of Lake Esther. (To be continued.) )
