After secretly agreeing some trading terms with Archmage Custer, Chen Xiao happily left the Black and White Palace with Wen Ji.

As for the other villains who didn't want Wen Ji to leave and made a hindrance, or wanted to find unhappy guys for Chen Xiao and them, with Archmage Custer pressing, they couldn't make too many waves.

After purchasing a batch of daily necessities and food in the school city, Chen Xiao took everyone to the port.

Captain Drake had been on standby in the port for more than a month, and when he saw Chen Xiao coming back, his face full of scum suddenly smiled, and he hurriedly prepared to sail.

While waiting for the Golden Merry to dock, Chen Xiao saw a familiar back.

There was a fiery red-haired Fire Fist Ace who walked to the shore of the dock with a cold face, looked up at the Golden Merry that was getting closer and closer, and jumped onto the ship from the shore.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile.

This guy still remembered the previous gambling contract, if Ace himself didn't appear, Chen Xiao would have forgotten the gambling contract at that time.

Arya looked like she was about to cry and whispered, "My lord, what is that guy doing?"

"Hehe, I've heard that. This guy wants to be Arya's flower messenger......"

Chen Xiaochu smiled narrowly.

During this time, Arya was in the limelight in the Black and White House, and was pursued by many single dog students, and was annoyed, some students thought that their strength was good, and even directly used violence to force Arya to comply.

On several occasions, Ace stepped up to help Arya and chase away the wild bees and butterflies.

But

Arya always felt that Ace's eyes were a little strange when she looked at her, which caused her to not have a very good sense of Ace.

"Who is rare! I always feel that guy is a little ill-intentioned. Arya said unceremoniously, even at the expense of Ace's disgust.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Who made our Arya-chan so cute and beautiful." Seeing you, a man will be moved. ”

Arya blushed.

Although he knew that his adults were always not serious when he spoke, and his mouth was sweet, he still couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart and showed a shy look.

Wen Ji watched from the sidelines, and also felt amused, and admired the debauchery of Chen Xiao, the eldest brother.

If he was asked to say such suspected flirting words in public, he wouldn't be able to say it.

I always feel a little ashamed......

After boarding the ship, the Golden Merry slowly started to the sound of a long whistle.

The sound of the rolling of the booming gears attracted Bunji's attention, and he found that in addition to the brigs and sails, there was a huge chimney on the deck of the ship, and the billowing steam smoke gushed out of the chimney, which was pressed down by the wind and pulled out a long tail.

Chen Xiao said that this is a "steamer", which can sail without manpower rowing, and only needs to have enough coal fuel to sail non-stop.

In addition to his great curiosity about the "steamer", he found a cannon in the middle cabin.

In the days that followed, these cannons showed extremely terrifying power, and they were simply a sharp weapon for dominating the sea.

When Wenji realized that these novelties and advanced technologies were all from Chen Xiao's hands, he didn't know what to say.

He's numb......

Ace, who boarded the ship without permission, except for occasionally going out to let off steam, shrank in the room all day long, and didn't know what he was planning, and he felt mysterious.

However, Chen Xiao is still relieved of Ace's personality and character.

Although this guy always has a cold face, he doesn't mince words to others, and he has a cool appearance, and it can be seen from the fact that he can keep his promises, this guy is a trustworthy and frank person.

In addition to being a little special to Arya, Ace gives people the impression that he is cold and hot.

A tsundere.

After leaving the Gakujo Islands, the Golden Merry sailed into the depths of the Endless Sea.

Luckily, they haven't encountered storms or dangerous sea beasts on the sea so far.

Chen Xiao stood on the bow of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, facing the sea breeze with a faint salty smell, and discussed the legend of "mermaid" with Wen Ji beside him.

When he went to sea this time, in addition to digging up Wenji and taking it with him, he also had to look for the legendary "mermaid tears".

Dong Xianxian was still waiting for him in the Sanctuary of Fairly City.

The Dragon's Heart can maintain her vitality, the mermaid's tears can restore her to her original appearance, and as for the threshold mentioned by the Life Sage von Hohenheim, Dong Xianxian needs to cross it himself.

Crossing the past, it is the sea and the sky, and the future is unlimited. If you can't cross it, you can only die and turn into loess.

The only thing Chen Xiao can do to help Dong Xianxian is these.

Wenji has a wealth of knowledge, and he also knows the legend of the mermaid.

"Merfolk exist. They live in the city of Poseidon in the Endless Sea. Wenji said.

"Legend has it that the merfolk are descendants of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and are completely different from the stinking fish-people. ”

Wen Ji shook the fishing rod in his hand, changed his posture, and continued: "Poseidon Sea City is in the vortex sea area of the endless sea, it is extremely dangerous, the ship enters the vortex sea area, and it will be swept into the vortex and sink to the bottom of the sea in minutes. ”

"I'm still going. ”

Chen Xiao squinted his eyes and looked at the sparkling sea.

Inside the sea, a pitch-black phantom played a game of chase with the Golden Merry.

Wen Ji also saw the phantom in the sea and said with a smile: "It seems that we are lucky to have encountered this sea beast." ”

"What kind of sea beast is this?" Chen Xiao said casually, "Could it be a dolphin?"

"Dolphins? No, it's a manatee. ”

"Manatee?" Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, and suddenly wanted to see this kind of manatee, so he put away his fishing rod.

"Why don't we fish for manatees and come up and have a look?" Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wen Ji hurriedly stopped Chen Xiao's move and said, "Don't." Manatees flock to each other. They won't attack ships for no reason, but if you do, they'll sink our ships incessantly. ”

"With manatees to escort us, the other sea beasts will stay away, and we can be stable for a while. You can feed them with some minced meat and bones. Then they'll be happy. ”

In the end, Chen Xiao had to dispel the idea of catching manatees.

Life at sea is boring, and you have to find something to do to pass the time.

So he ordered some minced meat and bones, and called Arya and them to come and feed the manatees.

"My lord, Captain Drake said, we're about to enter the vortex area, and it's dangerous to keep going. ”

Although Arya awakened her magic and became a magician, she still served as Chen Xiao's secretary and handled all kinds of trivial matters for Chen Xiao.

The voyage was also left to Arya and Captain Drake.

At this time, Arya reported and took out a nautical chart to show Chen Xiao by the way.

A simple nautical chart showing some of the known islands and places of the Endless Sea.

After learning about the current location, Chen Xiao pointed to an archipelago near the Vortex Sea and said, "Let's go to this archipelago first and inquire about the news of the mermaid clan." ”

"Rocky Islands?" Wenji's face sank slightly, revealing a wry smile, "I don't think this is a good place to go. ”

Chen Xiao: "......"
