There were still pirates who had been knocked out of the water on the sea, but the Red Cloud ignored these people and left them on their way.

On the bridge, Huang Zheng was waiting for the other party to make a decision.

"I must acknowledge the power you have. However, even if you have that strange cannon and shield, after all, you only have two ships. And ships like the Red Cloud, even more powerful than it, we have a lot of them. "On the way back, there was a noticeable change in Ethelit's attitude.

"Captain Esselit, we have never been your enemies. All we ask is to see your leaders. Huang Zheng said sincerely, "We show strength to show you that we have the value of cooperation." ”

Ethelit thought for a long time and said: "As a soldier, I should not set up an enemy like you for the Western Continent Republic, I agree to your request and take you into the port." ”

"Does magic really have nothing to do with the devil?" Ethelit invited Huang Zheng to his captain's room, and opened a bottle of fruit wine from the Western Continent.

Huang Zheng took the wine glass in his hand and said, "We have always believed that magic is a neutral force, it doesn't matter whether it is good or evil, and it has nothing to do with the devil. Both we and our enemies will do a lot with this power. If you say that the devil uses a knife to kill an enemy, or an awl to build, would you think that a knife or a hammer is the power of the devil and discard it?"

Sitting on the sofa with his hands crossed, Ethelit said in a deep voice, "You don't understand that if something is said over and over again countless times in history, it becomes a convention. Although none of us have ever seen anyone from the Eastern Continent, let alone the Devil, it seems that the Eastern Continent has always been associated with the Devil. ”

Huang Zheng noticed that there was a large map hanging on the wall, which was divided into two parts, one left and one right, and the western continent on the left was white, with mountains and rivers clearly marked on it, city strongholds, and everything seemed to be under the sun. The continent on the right, on the other hand, is black and blurred, with little to see on it, as if it was shrouded in darkness. And between the two continents, there are some clouds drawn by chaotic lines, which should be the Furious Sea. This map is a good example of what Esselit called the worldview of the Western Continent.

Huang Zheng pointed to the map and said, "Sometimes darkness does not come from evil, but from ignorance. He urged his spiritual power to sweep over the painting, turning his magic into color and attaching it to the painting. I saw that bright colors began to appear on the black eastern continent. The outlines of the continents began to become clear and precise, mountains and rivers began to appear one by one, and cities appeared on the map, with names underneath.

It's like there's a pen in the void that redraws this half of the map.

Such a miraculous skill made Ethelit complete the whole process intently: "It's unbelievable. Is this the true face of the Eastern Continent?"

"yes. That's where the sun shines too. Huang Zheng said.

In the afternoon, the Red Cloud led the other three ships into the harbor of Eyre, and instead of stopping at the busy merchant docks, they sailed towards a military port.

However, when passing by the merchant dock, Xiao Chen stood on the side of the Houyi, observing the scene of this busy port.

The port is large and deep, with large and small steam ships moored at the pier. The architectural style of the houses in the Western Continent is very different from that in the Eastern Continent, and like their clothing, they like to use direct and simple lines. The walls of the buildings are mostly light yellow, while the roofs of the houses are mostly dark red. From a distance, the buildings along the pier slowly extend to the rear on the mountain, forming a red and yellow landscape.

Many of the docks have steel cranes. Under the operation of the workers, the boom of the mechanical structure is used to continuously lift the boxes on the ship to the dock, and it can be seen from the volume of goods handled here that the business of the western continent is very prosperous.

Luo Ling said: "I feel that they have completely stepped into the industrial age, if it weren't for the magic in the Eastern Continent, they would definitely be crushed by them." ”

Xiao Chen said: "Isn't there still us in the Eastern Continent? I have a hunch that when we unite with these people in the Western Continent, both sides can get great benefits from the other. Look at the steel equipment and ships, behind them are factories, countless experienced workers, and scientists and engineers who develop these technologies.

Imagine what a terrifying burst of productivity we can have when our magical skills and these people are combined. The Western Continent itself is a more important treasure than the Tower of Origin, and we have made an unexpected discovery when we come here. ”

Luo Ling said: "Don't be too happy, I can see how much resistance these people have to the Eastern Continent." ”

"But in the end, didn't I convince them to bring us here? If you can convince them once, you can convince them a second and a third time. I have already won the secretary of the sage, and Huang Zheng has already impressed the general. We will succeed.

The people of this continent are so disgusted with the gods that it is our greatest weight, and we should seriously consider this issue as long as we put on the fact that the gods of nature are about to awaken. Xiao Chen said.

At this time, a gust of sea breeze blew, stirring the ends of Xiao Chen's hair and his clothes. Luo Ling suddenly felt that this guy was full of confidence...... It's pretty handsome, too.

After the Houyi and Xingtian docked. Xiao Chen organized a strong delegation and prepared to follow Ethelit into the city to visit the local leaders.

And the passengers on the El Shield had to be watched over for the time being because they learned about the visitors from the Eastern Continent. Therefore, Ethelit demanded that the Shield of El not enter the civilian port, and entered the military port located in the northern part of the commercial port with the Houyi and Xingtian, and all the passengers were temporarily placed in a barracks by the military, with only the captain Balivian and the sage's secretaries Brudes and Xiao Chen and others acting together.

Ethelit temporarily placed them in his house in the city of Eyre, while he went to the naval headquarters to report the matter to Admiral Montaño. Brudes took Balivian with him and went to the town hall to visit Agudero, the mayor of Ayr.

Most of the crew and marines brought by Xiao Chenda were left on board, and the crew of the Red Cloud kept an eye on each other in case something unexpected happened.
