Chapter 502: Our Goal Is the Sea of Stars!
As the Golden Merry set sail, breaking through the ice on the River Lane and heading out to sea, Lux, who was already a woman, withdrew her gaze and turned back to Blackstone Castle.
Chen Xiao left.
And she is going to take over the inheritance left by Chen Xiao and wait for his return.
On this voyage, Chen Xiao just took Arya and Skaha with him.
Originally, Chen Xiao also planned to take Amber to the sea, but because he was worried about Lux, Chen Xiao left Amber behind, and also expressed his wish for this.
"Protect my loved ones from any harm, and fulfill this covenant until you die. ”
Faced with this wish, Amber agreed indifferently.
She has a good relationship with Lux, so naturally she won't let them get hurt.
She has lived for too long, and the rush of mankind for a hundred years is just a white horse for her, a short moment.
She has nowhere else to go, living here in Chen Xiao is just like life.
When Lux returns to Blackstone Castle, she hears the news of Rena's awakening.
In the past few days, Sylvana and Lashana's bodies have almost recovered.
Chen Xiao's departure made them lose for a while.
Now that Rena has woken up, and Sylvana and Lashana are almost recovered, Lux feels ready to go to Grizzly Castle.
The Golden Merry broke through the ice, and the ice "clicked" and "clicked" on the bow of the ship.
Chen Xiao stood in the wind, shivering from the cold, he didn't even have the intention of pretending, and hurried back to the cabin.
Arya and Skaha gathered around the fire.
Captain Drake and his lieutenant also warmed up here.
Captain Drake is a burly man who went to sea in his early years and was attacked by a sea beast, one eye was scratched by a sea beast, and he was a one-eyed man.
But he had rich sailing experience, so he was hired by Chen Xiao as the captain of the Golden Merry.
Captain Drake said: "My lord, it is estimated that you will be able to get out of the Lane River and enter the sea mouth in half a day." The further south you go, the thinner the ice gets, and the speed gets much faster. ”
The Golden Merry was equipped with a steam-powered engine, which was driven by a powered propeller, and as long as coal was burned into the steam engine, it could drive the ship to sail, without the need for sails and manual paddling.
This design is said to have been created by the lord in front of him.
Drake already admired Chen Xiao beyond measure.
No wonder everyone says that Chen Xiao is a genius.
This kind of steamship is enough for Chen Xiao to leave a legend, become a celebrity, and be famous for centuries.
Chen Xiao nodded, and asked Drake about the Endless Sea, especially about the legend of the mermaid.
Drake has rich sailing experience, he has been to the Xuecheng Islands, and he has also crossed the fish-man sea area to reach the Red Earth Continent, but the Red Earth Continent is thousands of miles away and very barren, and Drake returned to the Longqi Continent without going deep into the mainland.
He was very talkative, and he had all kinds of stories that happened in the sea, and Arya and Skaha were fascinated by them.
Sea beasts, as well as the unpredictable weather at sea, are the worst enemies of seafaring.
The Golden Merry was huge, arguably the largest ship Drake had ever seen, and it was much safer to sail at sea.
At least you don't have to worry about the attack of ordinary sea beasts, even if you encounter a storm at sea, you can carry it.
As the topic began, Chen Xiao asked about the mermaid and the fish man.
The Fish-People are a sea tribe that lives offshore.
The low-level fish-people of the Fish-Man clan, who drink blood, are not much smarter than beasts.
The high-level fishmen have strong combat power and have a certain amount of wisdom to dominate other fishmen.
Occasionally, a special class of individuals is born within the Fish-People who are able to use magic.
These special individuals are known as "wizards" and are the noble beings of the Fish-People.
Chen Xiao remembered that the last time in the Battle of the Fishmen, it suddenly rained in the sky, which was the ability of the "wizard" of the Fishman Clan, calling for wind and rain, which could be regarded as a kind of magic.
"My lord, when the ship leaves the port, it will enter the Fish-Man Sea, and if we don't want to run into the Fish-People, we will need to sail north along the coast for a few days before turning to the deep sea. Drake said.
The fish-people are afraid of the cold, and the further north they go, the colder it gets, and the fish-people will not come up.
Most of them occupy the coastal waters of the southern part of the Dorag Empire, and now that the weather is cold, windy and snowy, the Fish-People are estimated to be rare.
But the Endless Sea is special, the closer they get to the sea, the less wind and snow there is, and by the time they sail to the port, there is no wind or snow left, and there are only scattered pieces of ice floating on the surface of the sea.
Chen Xiao said: "No, go directly through the sea area of the Fish-Man Clan." I don't have that much time. ”
Drake could only nod in agreement.
The Golden Merry is huge, and its hull is covered with a thick layer of iron, and its sturdiness is unquestionable.
The ship is equipped with twelve cannons, and the hundred guards on the ship are all elite soldiers, and they are also equipped with muskets.
"Captain Drake, I wonder if you've ever heard of the legend of the merfolk?"
Chen Xiao picked up the kettle on the stove and poured water into the cups in everyone's hands.
A few slices of tea were placed in the cup, and as soon as the hot water was flushed, it gave off a faint tea fragrance.
Drake sniffed the scent of the tea leaves in the cup and sighed, "This tea is so fragrant." ”
"As the adults said, the mermaid is just a legend, and his subordinates have been sailing for many years, and they have never seen any trace of the mermaid. ”
Drake took a sip of his tea and savored it.
Sailing on the sea is very boring, and if there is nothing else to distract you, just looking at the endless blue sky and blue sea can be very frustrating.
"However, if you want to pursue the mermaid, you can first go to the Black and White Palace of the School City and ask those scholars. In the Black and White Palace of the school city, there is the largest library in the mainland, and there are the most knowledgeable scholars, which include major historical events in the whole continent. Mermaid Legends...... Maybe it's all from the school city. ”
Drake drank the tea in his hand, then stood up and took the position of deputy and took the helm himself.
The ship has made its way out of the sea and into the inshore waters of the Endless Sea.
There are often some reefs in the offshore waters, and if you don't pay attention, it is easy to hit the reef and cause the ship to be damaged and sink.
Drake is at the helm, controlling the Golden Merry as it gradually moves out of the sea and into the Endless Sea.
Chen Xiao had already taken off his thick clothes and walked out of the cabin with Arya.
Looking in the direction of the continent, thick clouds shrouded the sky over the continent, and the wind and snow were raging, as if there was an invisible force blocking the clouds from spreading to the Endless Sea.
The power of nature is truly magical.
Chen Xiao sighed.
Skaha was also on the sea for the first time, and when he saw such a magical natural scene, his pretty face was full of surprise.
"This is the sea!" she turned to look at the endless blue sky and blue sea, and her heart was surging.
Arya laughed, "Miss Skaha, you haven't seen the sea before?"
Skaha nodded.
Although the Shadow Kingdom Secret Realm has a vast area and many vast waters, compared to the sea, those vast waters are like small ponds......
Arya's hometown is Longbottom, in the Primordial Islands of the Endless Sea.
It was only because the Zimu Islands sank and drowned in the sea that Arya was exiled to the mainland, during which she became a slave for various reasons, and was finally bought by Chen Xiao due to fate.
She thought that she would become the plaything of the nobles, and that she would only be a slave until she died.
Now that she has regained her freedom and become Chen Xiao's secretary, Arya has to sigh that life is so wonderful.
You never know what fate awaits you in the next moment.
She looked at Chen Xiao's back with gentle eyes, and there was an indescribable gratitude and reverence in her heart.
Chen Xiao stood at the bow of the boat, continuing the unfinished force before, the sea breeze blowing the cloak on his body, and the sound of hunting.
Chen Xiao combed his hair and pointed straight ahead: "Our goal is the sea of stars!"
Arya: "......"
Skaha: "......"
