Chapter 88: Departure (2)
On the wharf, Wang Xiaotian's goods were loaded, and the three medium-sized merchant ships were ready to start.
When he came, it was a convoy of more than a dozen carriages, but when he left, there were only three merchant ships, and Wang Xiaotian sold some of the special products from the alliance through some unknown channel through a short trip to Magnolia, in exchange for all kinds of ores and plant seeds from three medium-sized merchant ships.
"Honorable guest, although our trading is very profitable, I still have to complain, the waterway to go south to Bunian is full of dangers, and the transportation costs are a bit high, hehe, although my brothers are in this business, pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and our remuneration should be mentioned. ”
The bearded man lit a cigar and smoked it in a big gulp, and the thick cloud was spit out by him, this rugged man squinted his eyes and said to Wang Xiaotian who was standing on the side, his fierce puff, and the smoke he spit out was also extraordinarily huge, just as reckless as he looked.
Wang Xiaotian kept his calm smile unchanged, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Yes, yes, the waterway is very dangerous, I have already heard of it, and the price is negotiable." ”
Hearing Wang Xiaotian's cheerful appearance, the bearded man also smiled, and the smoke he spit out was full of comfort, it was indeed comfortable, and the characters in the entire dock area who could taste such cigars could be counted on one hand. Like the bearded smoked cigar, it is a delicate cigar specially created by Wang Xiaotian before he came, not only a lot of other plants are added to it, but the damage to the human body is also weakened accordingly, but the pleasure remains the same, it can be said to be a kind of boutique enjoyment. Just such a cigar, Wang Xiaotian priced a hundred gold coins.
A hundred gold coins, that's not a small amount. Of course, this cigar is originally for those high-class people to enjoy, for those ordinary people who are under a lot of pressure or bitter heroes and villains, there are naturally corresponding styles of cigarettes.
"Woo ......"
A loud sound of a ship's horn was heard, and the distant and distinctive sound of the horn attracted the attention of most of the old sailors on the dock.
The Marie River basin in the dock area is very wide, and the clear water of another world seems to exude the brilliance of motherhood when it enters Magnoria, and the water potential is so gentle. The open docklands had a deep draft, which was also the contribution of the Magnolian aristocracy to the development of commerce.
As far as the eye can see, the Marie River flows quietly, and all kinds of large and small ships of different sizes are parked here in the dock area, and large merchant ships, medium-sized passenger ships, and small offshore fishing boats can be seen in the dock area. The weekday lively dock area fell into a brief silence in the loud sound of the horn.
Following everyone's line of sight, from the river to the east, a fleet of boats was slowly approaching, seemingly very slow, but in the blink of an eye, it changed from the size of a black dot to the size of a palm, and soon, several behemoths appeared in front of everyone.
When the small black dot gets closer and closer, a number of behemoths come into view, these are huge ships that are enough to cross the sea, if you look closely, people who are familiar with the ships will find that each of these giant ships is equipped with terrifying magic cannons on both sides, and the pitch-black hulls are at least made of refined star steel, and according to their speed, these ships at least use [A-grade magic energy motives].
"The flag... The red trim, the pitch-black blades, and the strange three-pronged emblem are the fleets of the Vitans!"
When the fleet entered an unusually large port, some of the old sailors who had been unloading their cargo at the docks early recognized the origin of the huge fleet.
This port is indeed extremely large, thirteen huge vetans with a very deep draft sailed into the port, there is no crowding at all, even in the early morning, the port is full of cargo ships, and the crowd of people coming and going in the port has begun to show the scale of the sea of people at this moment, shouting sailors, mercenaries from other places, curious and watching...... It constitutes a bustling port image.
"The Vitans are here!"
Wang Xiaotian took a deep look at the fleet of the Vitatan giant ship, and to this day, he has to admit that this country that has been jointly suppressed by the northwest countries of the mainland does have its own uniqueness, and the giant ship with a height of three stories in front of him is a kind of embodiment.
The strength of a country is not only in the military, such a civilian giant ship can use magic technology to this extent, which is enough to get a glimpse of the corner of Vitan.
The bearded man muttered in a low voice, "This is really a handsome big guy!"
Wang Xiaotian noticed that the bearded man's eyes looking at the Veditan Giant Wheel were full of greed, admiration, and appreciation, as if he had seen a peerless beauty.
Soon, when the Vitan fleet arrived, there was a rare appearance of official troops in the docklands.
The garrison guards from Violet soon arrived in the dock area, and Wang Xiaotian had an instinctive look at the direct army of the Violet royal family.
He couldn't help but let out a low sigh in his mouth, the royal family is really rich. He was not mistaken, the guards who appeared at the dock were all strong double armor, with flexible chain mail on the outside and solid plate armor on the inside, not only that, on the edge of the battle armor Wang Xiaotian noticed the traces of magic inscriptions, as well as a large number of magic arrays inlaid under the cloak.
This is a terrifying army that can ignore most physical attacks.
The Violet official guards who arrived quickly blocked that part of the dock area, dispersed the curious crowd nearby, and the bearded man smashed his mouth, looked at the soldiers with some fear, and grinned, "Guest, your ship is almost time to leave!"
......
In the end, Wang Xiaotian still stepped on the return boat, the bearded man stood on the dock and witnessed Wang Xiaotian and them walking on the deck of the merchant ship, the heroic man smiled very heartily, and the laughter spread throughout the dock, attracting the attention of many people, but this bold underground leader didn't seem to care about everyone's eyes, and didn't know where to get a white handkerchief, waving and shouting: "Come and play again when you have time!"
Wang Xiaotian grinned, watching a strong man with a black bear waving a handkerchief, he wanted to laugh inexplicably, but soon, he calmed down, sighed quietly, and waved his hand vigorously towards the beard.
Magnolia ...... I'll be back next time!"
Taking a deep look at the busy docks, everyone seemed to have their own things to do, and the people who were in a hurry to survive the docks would not pay attention to the departure of these three merchant ships, and for a long time, the hot topic in the streets and alleys of Magnolia would be the menacing Vitan Mission.
And Wang Xiaotian seems to feel that this time, the next time he comes to Magnolia, everything will be a matter of things, and at the same time, he can also feel that the next time he comes again, he will not come silently like this, and then leave quietly.
