508 Land of Mysteries

After arranging everything, Charlie left the busy castle William, packed his bags, turned into an ordinary passenger, and boarded an ocean liner with the purpose of Lancang.

Lancang is a lonely country, its geographical location is not remote, but with the national policy to separate itself from the kingdom system of the Wagland continent, but also because of its maverick and rejected by the mainstream system, many surrounding principalities rely on the support of several major empires behind it, and constantly provoke the Lancang country, therefore, the Lancang land and coastline wars continue, the earliest is only a dispute of interests, after years of war, both sides continue to suffer casualties, and gradually fight out of anger, form a secular grudge, and gradually form a situation of multiple principalities encircling and suppressing Lancang.

What is surprising is that in the face of such a predicament, Lancang never seems to consider the geopolitical environment they are in, does not reflect on the national policy, but perseveringly sends soldiers to the border line one after another, firmly guarding the homeland, and also makes people have some respect for Lancang people, saying that although this kind of person is stubborn and rigid, he is really backbone and will not give in!

This is what most people in the world know about the Lancang Kingdom, and this is the only way to understand it.

How many people does Lancang have? To what extent has Lancang's magic industry developed? What kind of existence is the Lancang Imperial Family? Why is it still standing after so many years of war? Why doesn't the Millennial Empire resort to force against this anomaly......

There are countless problems that cannot be solved, and I have to say that Lancang is a mystery.

Charlie's passenger ship is an ordinary medium-sized magic passenger ship, called Nan'an, different from other passenger ships is that it does not have first class, it only has a first class and a second class, and the layout of the two cabins is similar, only in space, materials, food quality and grade, which is very different from the common ocean liners in the mainland.

Conventional ocean-going liners have first class, first class, second class, third class and mixed cabins, which are strictly hierarchical and hierarchical, clearly distinguishing between nobles, middle class, commoners and the bottom poor and slaves, and the layout and design of the cabins at all levels are completely different, as if separating several worlds, from top to bottom, from heaven to hell.

However, if you think about it, you can understand why.

In the impression of the middle and upper class society on the mainland, the Lancang Kingdom was isolated and wild, the border was very dangerous, and no nobles were interested in it, and the Lancang Kingdom never welcomed outsiders to build this country, so the poor and slaves could not find a way to make a living here. However, Lancang is not a big country after all, and all kinds of resources are scarce, so it is inevitable to purchase all kinds of materials, so it feeds a group of small merchants who are dumped resources, so the most frequent exchanges between Lancang and other countries' ports are such a group of bold and adventurous businessmen, of course, their families and mercenaries from all over the world.

Because the types of passengers are almost the same and the status is not much different, it is reasonable for the Nan'an to make corresponding adjustments.

Today is Charlie's third day on the ship, and he sits in a window seat in the dining room, looking at the vast sea, a little dazed and a little expectant.

Nan'an

The restaurant does not use the class to distinguish between people, they use a more scientific method - price, this is the best restaurant on the Nan'an, but also the most expensive restaurant.

Just as Charlie was in his trance, a gentlemanly middle-aged man came into his field of vision, followed by a sturdy man.

"Sir, may I sit here?" said the restaurant a little crowded at this time!" said the middle-aged man to Charlie.

Charlie turned his head to look at him, the man was smiling, his facial features were very ordinary, his eyes were bright, revealing the unique sharpness of a businessman, Charlie smiled and nodded.

Soon, the two brought a large amount of food from the self-service area, filling most of the table, and the middle-aged man said: "Polar spotted sea bream and deep-sea rays, just caught up, they are on the table, and the fish in the top restaurant of Nan'an are still good and relatively fresh." ”

It was like talking to himself, and it was like saying it to Charlie, and it seemed that he was interested in himself.

Charlie responded casually: "It's good, it's charred on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, the chef's skills are okay, and the heat is well mastered, but it's delicious when it just comes out of the pot." ”

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Eric, the mine seller." ”

Charlie stretched out his hand to shake him and replied, "Charlie, the gem merchant." ”

Unexpectedly, Eric shook his head and said to Charlie, "No. ”

"Oh, what's not like it?" Charlie asked curiously when he saw the other party casually exposing his lies.

"You don't smell like an insider, and a true gem dealer never claims to be selling gems. ”

"And what do they generally say?"

Eric didn't squint, picked up the red wine, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Selling mines." ”

It turned out to be in someone else's bowl.

Charlie smiled and said, "I'll say that next time." ”

Eric laughed: "Then you still have to learn some jargon and habits in the industry to get past it." ”

"Actually, I'm a magician. ”

Mage is a good profession, it permeates all walks of life and fields, and you can use it as a shield at any time, provided that you have a Mage badge certified by the Magic Guild. After Charlie was promoted to Magister, he didn't go to the Magic Guild to do an evaluation and update the level of the mage badge, his current mage badge is still the level of the archmage, and he was keen on these superficial things when he was young, but now he is not so obsessed.

Eric looked Charlie up and down, immediately retracted his expression, and said, "It turned out to be the respected magician!"

As he spoke, Eric assumed an honorific title and asked, "Is the Master here for the auction at Moyaki Harbor?"

Although he hadn't heard the name, Charlie still nodded, he just needed to know some news about the border of Lancang Kingdom, and the person in front of him seemed to have some doorways.

Eric mused, "The auction in Moyaki Harbor

It is indeed a very rare event, although the scale is not as large as the magician exchange meeting in the imperial capital, but it also has its uniqueness. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and winked at Charlie: "This side belongs to the political desert area of the mainland, and all kinds of contraband emerge in endlessly. ”

Eric's performance was somewhat skeptical, but given that Charlie did not officially identify himself, he also had some reservations.

Charlie stretched out his hand, and a light blue magical light appeared in his palm, and a gold badge suddenly appeared in the center of the light, slowly spinning, showing a subtle magical control.

"Oh! the Archmage Badge certified by the Royal Magic Association of the Millennium Empire, the master is really young and promising!, which is amazing!" Eric's expression became more and more respectful, and he sat upright, holding his breath.

Eric is knowledgeable, young archmages are rare, and they are certified by the Royal Magic Society, without the slightest moisture, if the young man in front of him is not the apprentice of a famous teacher, it is not too far away, in popular terms, he must be the backbone of the future center of the thousand-year empire, and it is a great honor for such a noble and noble person to deign to talk to himself.

Charlie understood Eric's state of mind at the moment, put away the badge, and said: "I came here to help the teacher find some rare materials, but my first time traveling, I don't know the situation in Moyaki Harbor, I only heard that it is very chaotic here." ”

The strong man beside Eric interjected coldly, "Since I heard that it is very chaotic, why don't you bring a soldier with you?

Eric glared at him fiercely, and the latter smiled and said no more.

Charlie explained with a smile: "Since I decided to go out to travel, of course, it was for the purpose of honing my personal strength, and it was meaningless to bring an entourage. ”

Everyone knows that the registered mages of the Royal Magical Society are notoriously wealthy, and aside from their personal strength, the abundance of magical equipment is staggering, and those are the weapons that are lower than the raids, and as long as the mages are given a little time and space to react, the follow-up operation is terrifying.

"What the master said is, whoever doesn't open his eyes and provoke you is really killing himself!" Eric smiled: "I don't know if I have the honor to clear some doubts for the master? I, Eric, have been in business in Moyaki Port for 11 years, and now I am the main gem supplier of Moyaki Port Auction House, and I can talk to the management of Moyaki Port. ”

It was a good idea to come to the top restaurant of the Nan'an to eat, and sure enough, I caught a character who was familiar with the situation.

Charlie smiled: "It's the first time I've traveled, and I'm not familiar with the situation, I only heard that the border of Lancang is very unsafe, and I need someone to solve my puzzles, familiarize myself with the cultural customs of Lancang, and the surrounding situation, of course, this is not free, I will give Mr. Eric a good consulting fee." ”

"Eh!" Eric raised his hand to stop him, and said, "The master is extremely talented and powerful, it is my honor to chat with you, and it is cheesy to talk about money." ”
