Chapter Seventy-Two: Entering the Port and No Street
The ship continued to sail along the established course......
By 5 o'clock in the morning, many crew members had already consciously gotten up, and although the ship had deviated from its original course due to various accidents, it was quickly brought back to the right path by the experienced old captain.
Unconsciously, it is the beginning of a new day, although the sun has not yet come out, the morning glow of the Dao Dao has already shone a piece of red Dandan on the horizon, like the cheeks of a shy girl......
Watching the sunrise on the sea has a different kind of beauty no matter how many times you watch it!
At this time, a long coastline appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and it turned out that after a day and night of storms and rapid sailing, the ship had sailed to the port more than a day earlier than expected.
Old Captain Jobs' hand at the helm was noticeably relaxed, but then it tightened, and the closer you got to success, the more careful you became, otherwise the reef in front of the harbor would teach you this.
Of course, most of these reefs are naturally present, but some of them were deliberately created by magicians when they built the port, because most of the underwater defense, surveillance, and control depend on these reefs;
The front is the "do not fall into the city" outside the circle, although the same outside the circle, but there is no doubt that the security work here is much more detailed than the "Mosen" outside the circle, a burst of sonic magic that is said to be specially used to stimulate the appearance of the sea tribe After the sonic magic detection, the whole ship first sailed into the isolation review zone, and then there will be special customs officers to check.
Theoretically, this censorship system is designed to be free of loopholes, but when it is enforced by people, the biggest loopholes are created.
Otherwise, the old captain would not have dared to bring the ostriches on board at will, and in fact you would not have really brought in the aliens. Acquaintances are willing to donate a "port defense construction fee" to the stationed magicians for experiments, then these inspectors are blind and deaf!
However, the entire review process lasted at least half an hour before entering the port, and sometimes there were long queues. It is not uncommon to wait for 1 or 2 hours before it is your turn to be checked.
Although the passenger ship "Apple" that Edison was on today did not encounter such an incident because of its early arrival at the port. But there are still some necessary tricks. For example, placing small objects worth a little money in a conspicuous place is the best way to pass the level quickly.
Because the customs inspector will speed up the progress of the work after putting these small items in his pocket, otherwise he will grind with you for a long time.
Edison's sensitive ears also heard Captain Jobs secretly curse: "Damn schistosome!"
Soon, the ship was successfully docked.
However, a few people who wanted to keep a low profile quickly attracted everyone's onlookers, because "Bai Feng" got off the cargo consignment line and raised his head proudly!
Everyone looked at the cargo with a look of surprise (→_→), as if to say, "it, how did this big guy get on the ship......
On the other side, the face of the captain of the passenger ship "Azure" Gates, who was counting the weight of the consignment with a smug eye, was all (⊙▽⊙)!。 When I turned my head to look at Jobs again, I saw that he showed a row of white teeth and gave a thumbs up!
Gates said helplessly with a "I really learned!" expression: "You are really ...... to win"
"I lost!" thought about it, and before he finished speaking, he simply admitted defeat.
Jobs didn't say a word and clasped his hands across his chest, his eyes looked straight ahead, and his feet were slightly split (refer to the posture of the Taurus Saint Seiya), posing a majestic Pose, as if to prove that he was still old and spicy!
But after a while. Perhaps because he found that the shame of his posture was too high, Captain Jobs decisively diverted everyone's attention by selling his teammates.
"Four guests over there, won't you take this goods?"
So everyone's eyes followed the guidance of the old captain (→_→) Edison and his party of four (←_←).
......
The sudden attention made Edison a little uneasy, but he met the expectant look of old Captain Jobs. He seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and in the face of everyone's eyes, Edison regained his composure. put on a calm and fearless look, and said calmly: "Ryan." Take Xiaobai, let's go......"
This expression. This sentence instantly calmed down the three people who were still a little cramped.
Ryan followed Edison's instructions and greeted the crowd of onlookers, and said: "I'm sorry, let one go, let one go, I want to bring Xiaobai back...... " In front of everyone's eyes, he took "Bai Feng" by himself.
This is the role of a team leader, when the team encounters an emergency, the first time to react, and issue appropriate orders, is the basic quality of a team leader.
At that moment, the three of them all felt that their little master (adult) had grown up, and their inner recognition and favorability towards him had improved to varying degrees, only Edison himself knew that he was still a little tender just now, and he almost had stage fright, and his palms were sweating at this moment.
And seeing Edison's performance like this, the old captain also showed a faint smile. (That's all I can do for you, it's up to you...... )
......
After walking about a street, Martin woke up from a dream and was the first to ask, "Where are we going next?"
The other two also subconsciously stopped when they heard this, and then the three of them realized that they had just subconsciously followed Edison's steps, and they forgot to ask Edison where he was going?
Salty Fish looked at Edison, which meant "Why don't I go to the hotel first?" Master, you will report to the Magic Guild?" This is the tacit understanding he and Edison developed when they traveled together in the first three months!
But Edison stopped the three of them from continuing to ask questions with one look, and then said mysteriously: "You go to a place with me first and meet someone!"
The three of them looked at Edison suspiciously, but didn't say anything more...... A group of four people, led by Edison, walked around for a long time in the outer area of this "city that does not fall", and when they reacted, they found a street without a street.
What is no street is that it is completely absent from the urban planning, there are no street names, and there are no road signs...... Even people who have lived here for a long time may not know the street where he exists.
Shabby, dirty, and ruined...... It is not enough to describe its existence, because no street represents the most unknown and forgotten corner of a city, if it were not led by Edison, a few people would never have thought that there is such a street in the bustling place outside the circle.
In fact, Edison, who led the way at this moment, was also very surprised, because he only touched this place smoothly according to the map on the note given by Aunt Illidan, plus his ability to read the map without forgetting.
Edison would never have imagined that the sponsor that Illidan asked him to find would be in such a place...... You must know that the strong people in this world do not have any masochistic quirks, and even if they want to do asceticism or something, they must find a place where they can do it themselves and hunt to enough food and drink...... No one, no money, no resources, nothing to ask for...... It's like a forgotten island in the city. (To be continued.) )
PS: Whew! I started coding words at eight o'clock this evening, although there were hundreds of words in the manuscript before, but it was not enough at all! Fortunately, I caught up, and I would like to tell you about it by the way, and I went to see the premiere of the movie made by my relative!
Movie title: "Nursery Rhymes", is the first in the ******** series of movies, and the first movie made by my relative, from the sound effects and pictures, it is not at all a small-budget film, and as a supernatural thriller movie, it does a good job in the rendering of background music, and it will definitely make you have that melody in your head all night after watching it...... I won't say much about the rest, no spoilers, not many comments, you can look forward to seeing this film on iQiyi in mid-April, and I will remind you in the book at that time, if you are interested, you can go and see it......
