Jiao Ming smiled slightly, looked this person up and down a few times, and then asked, "What do you call it?"

"Master, your name is little Ah Liang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" the person nodded and replied.

This man who calls himself Ah Liang is less than 1.7 meters, but he is a little tall under his thin figure, wearing coarse cloth clothes and bare feet. Although his face was full of sneers at this time, the horizontal flesh and scars showed that this person usually acted brutally.

"You know a lot about this slum?"

"Of course. ”

"What do the people here live on?" Jiao Ming asked.

"Go to the docks and work. Ah Liang replied neatly.

"One dock can't support so many people, right?" Jiao Ming questioned.

"Most of the rest are slaves of human traffickers, and a small number are bringing their children to participate in the magic guidance of the Mage Tower for two days. These people have not lived for long. ”

Ah Liang couldn't say the word "floating population", but he also described things quite clearly. Jiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, and then asked a few questions, and Ah Liang answered them one by one, with a clear and clear idea. After chatting for half an hour, Jiao Ming finally handed the person a copper coin and said, "You know what this is, right?"

"Golden ...... Metal?"

"Find a way to get rid of it yourself, and be careful not to lose your life for it. Jiao Ming kindly reminded him, and left with the three of them.

When she was far away, Luohua looked back at Ah Liang's figure hidden in the slums, and said complainingly: "Sir, you are too generous, aren't you?"

"According to the calculation of 300 coolies for a big sword, a copper coin is only less than half a coolie, and a few bags of grain. Jiao Ming argued.

"It's too easy to answer a few questions with a few bags of grain. "Luohua is still a housekeeper and a loser.

"No change. Jiao Ming said after thinking about it, and laughed when he finished speaking, this sentence is really heroic. "Okay, okay, I'll just pay attention next time. Jiao Ming saw that Luo Hua was puffing up, and he didn't care about admitting his mistake and giving in.

......

The next day, when Jiao Ming got up in the morning, he casually looked out the window, but was startled by a big black ship moored in the harbor. The boat was not anything of a wooden sampan in terms of size, it was the size of a medium-sized ferry, it stood out from the crowd of black sailboats around it, and more importantly, it had no sails!

Jiao Ming immediately beckoned Luo Hua and asked him to go to the port to inquire about the ship, and before he finished breakfast, Luo Hua brought the ice lotus into the house.

"I heard you're curious about this ship?" asked Binglian.

"How?"

Binglian smiled slightly, opened her mouth and said: "This ship is called 'Zeer', it entered the port last night, it is a merchant ship of the Blue Python Kingdom, and this time it is for our party." ”

"Is that the kingdom that Lilmelle and they went to?" Jiao Ming heard it familiarly, and confirmed it with inquiry. Bing Lian nodded and said, "It's also where the newly built Advanced Magic Academy is located." ”

Jiao Ming said with some hesitation: "This is nothing to be courteous, it is either a traitor or a thief." There are so many students, why did they come here to pick us up?"

"Certainly not 'deliberately'. Bing Lian explained: "According to the letter sent by the captain, this ship will go all the way south along the coastal harbor and send all the academy students who are willing to board the ship to the Blue Python Kingdom, which can be regarded as a gift from the kingdom to everyone. And we were the northernmost part, so we were the first cadets of the academy to get on board. ”

Jiao Ming suddenly realized that this is just a 'school bus', but with free shipping as a greeting gift, this Blue Python Empire's way of expressing goodwill is very heartwarming.

"Can I go up and have a tour? I'm interested in the ship's power system. ”

"Of course, you can get on board, but this power system involves magical secrets, and people may not show it to you. Binglian shook her head, seeing Jiao Ming's disappointed look, she added, "But it's always okay to ask." ”

"Isn't it not in line with aristocratic etiquette?"

"A little bit. ”

Looking at Bing Lian's embarrassed expression, this was obviously not a 'little bit', Jiao Ming, who was grateful, grabbed Bing Lian's hand and said softly: "Thank you." ”

After Jiao Ming finished breakfast, several people went straight to the dock area and came to the side of the big ship to explain their identities to the steward who commanded the sailors to carry supplies.

Jiao Ming took this opportunity to take a closer look, the length and height of the ship could not be visually detected, but the part above the water looked like it was three stories high, and considering that the cabin room could not be too big, Jiao Ming guessed that there might be five or six floors inside. The length of the ship is quite harmonious with the height, about three or four times as long.

The hull shell is oily black, as if it were the surface of a range hood that had not been cleaned for many years. And beneath the oil layer, a clear wooden texture is visible, and it is clear that this is a wooden ship.

Jiao Ming wanted to give it a shot, but considering that there were many people around, he didn't want to throw this person to Binglian.

The captain listened to the report of his subordinates, and quickly greeted him, and after the salute, he led a few people to the deck in a polite greeting, and then asked with a smile: "The young lord is here to choose a room?"

"Choosing a room is just one of them, and we want to visit it, I don't know what the captain thinks?"

The blonde, blue-eyed, big-nosed captain obviously didn't expect Binglian to make such a request, and after being slightly stunned, he frowned and was about to open his mouth to refuse, when a burgundy haired robed man who appeared at some point behind the captain made a slight movement.

The captain, who had received the hint, pursed his lips with an indifferent look on his face, and changed his words: "Okay, please feel free." However, given the fragility of the magic parts on the ship, please take this guide with you. With that, the captain pushed out the man in the robe, who had given the hint, as if he were shirking his responsibility.

While Jiao Ming was secretly glad that things were going well, he was very strange about the change in the captain's demeanor before and after, and his eyes fell on the key person, the man in the robe. Bing Lian's thoughts were similar to Jiao Ming's, staring at the robed man.

The man in the robe saluted elegantly first, and Jiao Ming also dabbled a little in some of today's popular aristocratic etiquette actions this winter, and at this time, a lot of information can be seen from these movements alone. This person is first a fourth-rank lord (viscount), followed by the kind that has no affiliation with the ice lotus, and then this person is a magician, as for more Jiao Ming, it is uncertain.

"In Lower Sholau Robin, say hello to the young lord of the crocodile leader. ”

"Hello. "Ice Lotus returns the favor.

"Under the order of my king, I am in charge of this reception. So after you've chosen your room, how about visiting the Zell with me?"

"I'm tired of Mr. Tired. ”

Subsequently, under the leadership of Robin, Binglian chose three rooms in the upper warehouse, and then Xia Feng selected five rooms in the lower warehouse for the servants according to the schematic diagram. Jiao Ming followed the team and looked around, and found that the entire hull of the ship had fluctuations in water magic, which meant that the wood of the ship was enchanted.
