As the leaping flaming beast danced on the ice, surrounded by a snow-white mist, Brunei was sure that no one who had seen such a scene for the first time could not be completely drawn to it and distract himself from other things. In Brunei's past experience, such an impactful grandeur can only be seen when looking at the endless mountains in the distance, and unlike the majesty of nature, the celebration of the opening day of the port is a complete human feat.

Brunei still remembers the feeling of despair when facing the Kellan mage in the endless mountains, the powerful spell that still doesn't know the right body is still clearly left in the brain yesterday, and the reason is that Brunei knows that it is only a level 5 spell, even for the second turn mage, it is not the limit that can be cast, but in fact, Brunei can't imagine the existence of a more powerful spell than that.

It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes the opening celebration of Port Loraine.

The next morning, the smoke that had covered the river the day before faded, and the "Great River" really flowed as a large river, as its name suggests. The banks of the river were already crowded with boats, large and small, undulating and shouting crowds, and the waves on the river were so striking that they even frightened Brunei, and they were nothing compared to the wide river where the banks could not be seen in all directions. Even in Brunei's most exaggerated imagination, the "calm sea" that he had read about in storybooks in the past was nothing more than that.

The only difference between the imaginary sea and the imaginary sea is that the surface of the river is not blue, but silver-gray, reflecting a string of light yellow rays of the rising sun, flowing and tumbling, like a giant python.

"If I had been even a day late, I would not have believed that the day before there was still a carriage on the ice. ”

"Haha, I'll get used to seeing too much. Ropol's hearty and cheerful voice picked up Brunei's self-talk, and when he looked down, he saw that the black and stout Ropol had already leaned against him, raised his hand, and patted Brunei's back heavily, "Brother Bruneisi, didn't I tell you that I only set sail in the afternoon? Why did you come early in the morning." ”

Ropol's dress was the same as yesterday, except that he seemed to have deliberately washed his clothes, as if he had taken a shower, and there was a special fragrance on his body. Brunei smiled: "Yes." It's just that there's nothing else to do, and I'll have to trouble you to wait for me if it's late. Brunei paused and added, "And I'm so excited that I can't sleep at night." ”

"Haha!" Ropol laughed again, he seemed to be so merry that Brunei thought as if he wasn't smiling, "But a good rest is also important for the journey—you haven't been on a boat before, have you?"

Brunei nodded: "No." After all, the Taal River is not a river capable of carrying boats, and there is no one in the Endless Mountains to drive boats, and in Brunei's experience, it is already a reflection of his erudition that he can know what a boat is.

"Hey, hey. Ropol's laughter changed a little, as if it was a little sinister, but this insidiousness floated on the surface, and it could be seen at a glance, but it didn't make people feel anything bad, "Well, it's okay. It's time for the Rama to be launched, and before we set sail, Brunei Darussalam, you might as well have a good rest on the ship, how about it?"

"Then I'm bothering you. ”

Brunei had never been on a boat, and had never even seen it moving, and when he said that he was "so excited that he couldn't sleep at night" was just a joke, he was a little excited to hear Ropol say that.

The Rama is a black-black sailing ship, perhaps because it has not faded away after 16 years of imperial culture, and Brunei has always had a good feeling for black things. Even aside, the Rama is a striking ship, with a flat and sharp hull compared to other ships of similar size around it, and if other ships resemble bloated nobles, the Rama is more like a battle-hardened warrior. Although Brunei did not know anything about ships, his first impression deepened his trust in Ropol's boast that "the Rama is one of the fastest on all rivers".

The back of the Rama's sails and the hull were painted with a special pattern of a different black paint that was not too obvious, but it was only a first impression, and as a student who had studied under Mr. Gerald for a long time, he felt that the pattern had some connection, at least in some places, to the way the magic emblem was drawn.

Some of the other big ships around him also had similar patterns, but I don't know if it was because they looked very rough because they could be seen at a glance, and even if Brunei didn't know much about these patterns that were not used as magic emblems, he could feel that if these patterns were really to manipulate the magic elements to produce any effect, then the effectiveness of those ships must be very small.

To be honest, Brunei didn't expect what a good ship the Rama would be that he happened to meet and could take him to his destination, and he was even mentally prepared for what he saw was a small wrecked ship that was obviously not enough to support him to go to the port of the Thousand Islands. To this day, Brunei naturally does not hesitate to surprise and praise himself: "This is really a beautiful ship." ”

Ropol also did not hide the smugness on his face, and even raised his voice: "What? Do you say this ship is beautiful?"

Brunei couldn't help but smile and repeated his words: "Yes, I said that it is a very beautiful ship. ”

Ropol glanced around triumphantly, and received all kinds of glances from those who were also busy pushing the boat into the water or had already pushed it into the water, and it seemed that, at least in his opinion, the type of harvest was still mostly envious. So he became more and more proud, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Wrong, big mistake! Brother Bruneisi, now that I say this, I have to say two words about you!"

Brunei scratched his head, wondering if he had said something wrong, but he seemed to be very happy to see Ropol's appearance, and couldn't help but wonder a little: "Why?"

"You haven't gotten on the boat yet!" Ropol's exaggerated fuss at the moment looked a little cute, "When you get on the boat and see the boat, the inside of the ship, you will know how wrong you are!"

"Because, compared to the inside of the Rama, her appearance is not worth mentioning at all!"

[Enough is enough, almost. Ink ink, don't you two feel disgusting?Too much nonsense, right?】

As always, the system says mean and inexplicable things. Brunei didn't bother to pay attention to it, but smiled at Ropol: "In that case, then I'll have to go on the boat and have a look." ”

[Less nonsense!When you get to the river, you guy's water is getting more and more!]

"Well, I see. Mr. Ropol, you really weren't exaggerating just now. With Ropol's help, Brunei jumped onto the low gang of the Rama, on which four or five men who looked eighty percent like Ropol were sitting in all directions, leaning or lying down.

The noisy environment around them didn't seem to affect them at all, and when they noticed that Brunei and the others were on the boat, they greeted Brunei almost at the same time, all with the same smiles, in fact, their appearance was not the same as Ropol's, and even their body height was not close, but somehow, their same weathered and powerful images gave Brunei a similar impression.

"Is this the temperament of the crew?" Brunei sighed in his heart.

[Heh, hehe. The system scoffed at Brunei's inner self-talk—as always.

"This guest. A tall, black man stood up with his hands on the ground, and walked towards Brunei, "What is your destination?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his image was distinguished from Ropol's, and if he looked closely, his dress was indeed different, although it was not obvious, but his clothes were undoubtedly neater than the others, and the fabric seemed to be better, and the edges were not open, if anyone in this group would speak politely, then he was undoubtedly him. Brunei nodded at him and bowed slightly: "Thousand Island Port." ”

"Oh, you're the guest who went to the Thousand Islands. He spoke more politely, but in an equally bold, even slightly rude tone, and Brunei noticed that as he spoke, Ropol secretly took two steps back, "It is indeed rare for a guest to go to such a distant place. Fortunately, I am the captain of the Rama, Rama. ”

"......" Brunei glanced at Ropol quickly, he remembered that Ropol had previously boasted that he was the "Luo" in the name "Rama", and now he got a slightly embarrassed sneer in response, the corners of Brunei's mouth twitched, "Fortunately, Captain Rama, my name is Brunei." ”

"Brunei – sir. Captain Rama's falcon-like eyes give people the illusion that his body has been pierced, as if any secret is hidden in front of him, "Are you a mage?"

Brunei's eyebrows raised slightly, adding a little guard to his heart. Captain Rama probably saw this and opened his mouth to explain—even so, Captain Rama did not lower his attitude, but just casually raised his hand and pointed: "You are wearing gloves. It's not that cold now, is it, Mr. Bruneith. ”

"Ahh Indeed, when he looked closely at the few people wearing gloves on the docks, and most of them were richly dressed and arrogant, he could guess that they might be mages without looking at the gloves, and Brunei couldn't help but admire the rough-looking Captain Rama little more, and nodded in acknowledgement, "Yes." I've been lucky enough to get into College City in the past and learn a little magic. ”

"Huh. I beg your pardon, I didn't mean to offend you. Captain Rama said this, and bowed his head, but in fact, he didn't see the slightest hint of sincerity, "It's just that, as a mage, you don't want to mix with those civilians, do you? ”

"Ah...... Well, in fact, I don't pay that much attention to it. "Brunei has been experiencing more and more of the superiority of being a mage lately, which is an impossible experience in the academy where almost everyone has a magic emblem, although he is still not used to it, and he will scratch his head and smile to relieve the embarrassment, but it is impossible to say that he does not feel the enjoyment at all.

"The journey from the port of Lorain to the port of the Kuril is long, and you should have been provided with a more comfortable cabin. Captain Rama spoke calmly, not a big deal, but somehow there was an astonishing momentum, "What's more, even if you yourself were so polite to let a mage squeeze together with a group of civilians on my ship, I can't forgive myself." ”

Captain Rama paused and took a step closer to Brunei, his tall stature making him look at Brunei head-on even when he was close to him, which put a lot of pressure on Brunei: "Please be sure to stay in a special cabin." ”

"Yes...... It's ......" Brunei Darussalam's head oozed cold sweat, and he stammered a little when he spoke.

......

After some tossing, Brunei said goodbye to Ropol, who led the way, and settled down in the so-called special cabin in the deepest part of the ship. The so-called "special cabin" is worthy of the word "special", and it is true that it is a world of difference compared to the scene in other cabins that you occasionally glimpse on the road. If the other cabins reminded him of the Chase Bunk he had lived in as a handyman in College City, the setting of the special cabins made him feel like Miss Scarly Miltrov's room — not so feminine, of course.

Pushing open the glass window, which was so clean that it was almost invisible, the damp wind with a faint fishy smell blew in through the window, and carefully looked at the decoration in the special cabin, Brunei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The benefits of being a mage are indeed more than I imagined, right, system?"

"System?"

【...... Haha, of course. 】

"System, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't you say something at this time, 'Isn't that all thanks to Lao Tzu, I was kind to you back then' and so kind of nonsense? Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?"

【...... I said, "Don't you have any other feelings?" Anything else, something special?]

"What do you mean, is there anything suspicious on this ship?"

Brunei was startled, but what followed was a roar of the system.

[I said you shouldn't be seasick? From the beginning of the boat just now, everyone is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself, lying on the boat and spitting out the beautiful picture of rainbows, why are you calmly forcing me here!]

“...... Huh?"

[Ha, you're big!A character like you, who has been pretending to be forced from beginning to end, is disgusting to see!If you don't add a little seasickness, airsickness, and other two-force cuteness, you won't be popular at all!I really blinded my titanium alloy dog eyes when I chose you as the protagonist!Got it! I understand, I don't want to remedy it quickly! Now, immediately, immediately roll with me to the deck and spit out everything you can spit out!]

"I don't understand at all. What the hell are you talking about? ”

[Hey, you stinky, shameless, shameful, despicable, ignorant, damned indigenous monkey!]
