Volume II, Chapter 32: Crossing the Sea
This is the Sphinx Port, a large port in the eastern part of the Lahasa Continent, and Liu Lei and the others are now standing in front of the sign of the Sphinx Port, which contains all the information of the nearest passenger ships, including the itinerary, and there is a white sail moored in the port, and the white sails are floating on the blue sea, like clouds in the sky. There are about 500 large and small ships moored in the whole harbor, all kinds of flags, all kinds of clothes, all kinds of races, and here you can fully appreciate the fruits of the great integration of the world's peoples in Demonton. This is a large port, and naturally it is also a large cargo distribution center in the east, where you can find specialties from anywhere in the world. The reason why I want to come here is because Liu Ti can't wait. Although the wizarding world of Delmonton has developed to a fairly high level in terms of magic skills and economy, it is not as developed as the earth after all, and the cross-sea ferries are not every day after each port. Only here, the largest port in the east, has this possibility.
Liu Lei looked at the billboard, which said that the ship that departed to the Sunrise Mainland this year was the Sun that departed at eight o'clock in the night, and the first-class ticket price was fifty gold coins each, and the cheap one also cost five gold coins. It seems that not everyone can afford to travel across the sea. In the wizarding world of Delmonton, the average income of people is three gold coins per month, and the income of a high-level certified magician is relatively high, generally twenty to thirty gold coins a month, and the high-level samurai is about the same as this. According to this calculation, some people's monthly salary is not enough to cover the expenses, not to mention other expenses.
Ren Carlo asked Liu Lei: "Sir, what kind of ship are we going to do?" Liu Lei said: "Now there is only the Sun, just sit on it." "But the Sun is too expensive, or shall we wait for another ship?" and the late ones are usually prepared for the nobles and the rich, who come out too hot during the day, so they come out in the evening. Liu Lei took out a magic machine pocket watch in his arms and looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock: "It's okay, Ren Carlo, we are aristocrats, we are rich people - you have to be confident with this!" Looking at Liu Lei, who had put away the pocket watch and walked towards the ticket gate, Ren Carlo muttered in a low voice: "I have confidence in myself, but I don't have confidence in your pocket......"
On the way here again, Liu Lei passed by a small town, where there is an antique shop, this town called "Gu Fang" is very famous in the whole continent, and even the world, they are a famous antique bazaar, all kinds of strange and strange things in the world, can be found here, of course, the famous here is an antique shop. Liu Lei turned it around casually, accidentally saw this pocket watch, and immediately bought it. Pocket watches are very similar to those used on Earth in modern times, except that they are not mechanical, but are powered by magical power. The silver-white size of a ping-pong ball is attached to a thin silver chain, which is smooth on the surface but can be seen beautifully in the light, a technique known in Dermonton's magic light sculpture. There is no convex or concave surface of the carved object, but in the sunlight, you can see the beautiful pattern. At the touch of a metal button on the watch, the lid pops up, and the dial made of sapphire and diamonds, and the hands made of white gold "tick" under the crystal surface. Inside the cover is a small magic array, according to the owner, this is an ancient magic array, and what effect it has is now unknown. "Who knows, maybe it's just an auspicious sign. The shopkeeper said to Liu Lei. Liu Lei spent three million gold coins to buy this pocket watch, and Liu Lei liked it very much, and immediately hung it on the second button on his chest. Of course, all this was carried out without Ren Carlo's accompaniment, otherwise, Ren Carlo would be very confident in Liu Lei's pocket!
Liu Lei bought four first-class cabins and two first-class livestock cabins, this ship seems to be really tailor-made by a rich man, even their pet beast fighting is taken into account, the cabins of the livestock are also divided into three, six and nine classes, and the price of the first class is not lower than the price of people at all. Until he got on the boat, Ren Carlo was still distressed about the three hundred gold coins that Liu Lei had just taken out, although he never said it, but his upper and lower lips never closed. When the two of them lay on the mast together and looked at the sea at night, Ren Carlo smacked his lips and said, "Three hundred gold coins! God, you have spent so much money, if I had three hundred gold coins, I could have done six major magic experiments - now I can't sit on one big magic test a year...... Liu Lei looked at the sea, the stars in the sky were reflected on the sea, and in the distance, where the water and the sky met, the stars were also connected up and down, and it was impossible to distinguish between the true and the false, in the rippling seawater, the bright stars swayed with it, and the night was extremely moving! "Nothing, whatever you want, you will have it! God does not exist, but demons exist, as long as you can afford enough exchange conditions, demons can provide you with everything!" Liu Lei's words made the timid Ren Carlo feel a chill in his heart: "You, what do you say? You, what do you want me to exchange?" You're not ......" Liu Lei waved his hand and smiled: "Hey, my partner, don't be so nervous - I won't ask you for anything, I just want you to study space magic honestly and break through as soon as possible, because I am useful!" Liu Lei stretched out his hand to Ren Carlo: "I will pay for it, you will study it, and the results will be shared." How is it?" Ren Carlo looked at Liu Lei hesitantly: "You, really, don't want me to pay any other price, such as my life, my blood, my soul?" Liu Lei smiled: "You know a lot, but you are also really cowardly! Although the devil tempts people, the devil never deceives people, this is the opposite of the devil and the god!"
Ren Carlo still didn't believe it, Liu Lei was a little helpless, so he had to repeat his old tricks: "Think about it, you can become an eye-catching magic master in the world, countless beautiful young women will scream for you and stay awake all night, and powerful countries on the mainland will throw olive branches to you and fight for you to join! You have the talent and strength to become an excellent magician, and now, you are only one point behind, and that is my help!" Liu Lei reached out and took out his pocket watch, and opened it with a "snap":" Time waits for no one, Ren Carlo, you don't have time anymore - this may be the only chance, miss this time, your life may be so obscure and sunk! What are you waiting for?!" Ren Carlo listened to it with a surging heart, and almost without thinking about it, he immediately stretched out his hand and shook Liu Lei's hand together: "Deal!" Liu Lei secretly shook his head in his heart: "This guy is really a child, and he is timid and afraid, but he can't withstand the temptation." ”
After getting rid of the cowardly magician, Liu Lei could walk around the ship quietly, he was in good spirits, and he hardly needed to rest every day. When I used to be on Earth, I slept every night, and everyone knew what it was all about. Now there is no one to sleep with him, and the night suddenly seems bored. He wanted to wander around the whole ship like a wandering spirit, it was already late at night, Liu Lei was floating on the deck without touching the ground, if someone really saw it, I am afraid that he really thought it was a ghost! However, this section of the sea route is relatively close to the mainland, the wind and waves are calm, and there are no pirates, and the giant beasts that can pose a threat to large ships are all in the deep sea, so this section of the sea route is very calm, and there are no guards on the deck, and no one has seen Liu Lei's strange behavior.
The total length of this ship is more than 70 meters, which is quite a large ship, and the main battleship of the navy is also so long. They were able to build long ships because they had always used wood to build ships, and without long, strong keels, there was no way to build long ships. When Liu Lei saw this ship, he thought of the Navy's warships; on the earth, aircraft carriers are already rampant and domineering on the sea, and here, is it possible to build an aircraft carrier? Theoretically speaking, the time is ripe to build an aircraft carrier here, and the main attack force of the aircraft carrier's carrier-based fighters can be replaced by an air knight similar to an elephant eagle, and the question now is how to build a ship that is large enough. Liu Lei floated and thought, thinking about it or not, he had to rely on the ink in his brain to improve the shipbuilding level and steelmaking technology of the entire Dermonton Wizarding World, and his wife was unreasonably demanding at that time!
Liu Lei shook his head, threw this thought out of his head temporarily, looked around, to be honest, in such a big place, what got better, he had already turned back and forth a few times, no way, he shook his head and returned to his cabin. Early the next morning, Liu Lei was awakened by a knock on the door, and Ren Carlo shouted outside: "Sir, sir, get up!" Liu Lei got up and opened the door: "What's wrong?" Ren Carlo bent down and asked, "Sir, where is the toilet?" Liu Lei wondered: "Haven't you been on the boat a few times, how can you not know where the toilet is?" Ren Carlo shook his head and hurriedly said: " I've never really been on a boat, the first time I went to the Sunrise Continent, I was thirteen years old, I hid in someone's package, and then I learned magic, and I was in the harbor every day, and when I saw the ships that were issued, I silently remembered them, and then roughly judged their location, and teleported to each ship one by one - those boats were my springboard in the sea......" Liu Lei shook his head, blocking the door, without the slightest intention of letting him in: "Isn't that a hostess, why don't you ask?" Ren Carlo shook his head: " They said there was no public toilet!" Liu Lei shook his head regretfully: "I'm really sorry, then I can't help it, although I also have a toilet in my cabin, but I'm not used to using a toilet with others—what, have you given your toilet to someone else?" Ren Carlo screamed: "What! There is a private toilet in the warehouse?!" Ren Carlo teleported and disappeared in front of Liu Lei. Liu Lei shrugged his shoulders narrowly, he said for a long time to tell Ren Carlo that there was a toilet in his cabin, which was really inauthentic. "I didn't mean to, I just wanted to figure things out, but poor Ren Carlo, your bladder must be under a lot of pressure - you haven't been to the toilet from last night until this morning......?
They were lucky, they didn't encounter any danger along the way, the light wind and waves did no harm to the ship, and they encountered a small group of pirates, and the pirates with the broken ship avoided them as soon as they saw them, and they didn't even hang up the pirate flag. Although the pirates could see that this ship had a lot of oil and water, they also knew that the defense of this kind of ship was terrifying, and it only took a magic cannonball to destroy them. Although the gold coin is cute, its own life is cute. The deep-sea monsters did not patronize, everyone felt very lucky, only Liu Lei understood, Meka slept and snored every night, and the dragon's breath seeped out at all, and the people on the boat did not feel anything, but those giant beasts hidden under the deep sea were much more sensitive than people's senses, and they naturally understood what danger was! Once, Liu Lei clearly felt that a huge life form was floating nearly a thousand meters deep under his ship, and suddenly sank again, Liu Lei understood, and Meka was snoring again. Although each deep-sea beast has the strength to compete with the black dragon, not all races are as united as the dragons, and killing one dragon will attract the crazy revenge of the other dragons. Moreover, almost all creatures know that the dragons in the Grand Canyon of Oss have a grudge.
After almost a month of sailing, they reached the Sunrise Continent. Today's boats are propelled by magic machines and equipped with sails, and the speed is much faster than in the past, which took three months to sail purely by wind power, but now it can be completed in just one month. The Sun docked at Hill Harbor, a very famous port in the Sunrise Continent in the East, which belongs to the Cornerstone Republic, which is a dwarven country that loves peace and loves, so they have adopted a republican system. Liu Lei stepped off the ship, and the docks were filled with laborers carrying goods, and boxes of dwarves' fine weapons and armor were loaded onto the ship and sold to all corners of the world. Liu Lei saw that the wooden boxes of some goods were marked with the logo of the Viking Empire, and it seemed that these were the goods ordered by the Viking Empire. Liu Lei's heart had a trace of worry, and he paid attention to searching, there was no goods from the Luo Ya Empire here.
The Sunrise Continent in the East is a continent that was discovered late, and it was originally a gold rush for all ethnic groups, and when it was first discovered, people from all corners of the world came to settle here, so to speak, this is a place where the world's ethnic integration is obvious. And the Cornerstone Republic was established after the dwarves who came here at that time. When a dwarf was expelled from the dwarven settlement because of a negligent mistake, he came to the Sunrise Continent alone in a desperate situation, but he did not expect to find high-quality iron ore here! Relying on exquisite craftsmanship and high-quality iron ore, this dwarf quickly became rich, and then he returned to his hometown, leading a group of young dwarves who dreamed of making a fortune to the Sunrise Continent, and then gradually developed into today's cornerstone republic, the cornerstone is the name of the original pioneer dwarf.
This place is familiar to Rencarlo, who lived here for three years, from the age of thirteen to the age of sixteen. As soon as they got off the boat, Ren Carlo took them to a hotel with good prices and facilities. Since he knows that Liu Lei is a rich man, why should he wronged himself again? It is still one person in one room, but Liu Lei and Meka live in a suite, and Meka and Eh live together, Liu Lei estimates that he may have to live here for a while, so let Meka and Eh live together so that she can take care of her. Ren Carlo had to have a single room by himself, and his treatment was not so good. Liu Lei estimated that until they found a house, they would continue to live here.
It was about nine o'clock in the morning when they disembarked and about ten o'clock when they arrived at the hotel. After settling everything, Liu Lei found Ren Carlo: "You are the head snake here, when we arrive here, we naturally want you to arrange everything." Now there are two things to do: first, buy us a house, I want a villa...... Forget it, let me change the word: I want a manor, a luxurious castle inside, gardens and vineyards outside, beautiful scenery, and a comfortable microclimate for living-what? What does microclimate mean? Forget it! It's stupid, in short, you want to live comfortably, you should understand this, right?" Ren Carlo nodded, but Liu Lei shook his head helplessly: Communication barrier!
"The second thing I want to do is to start a car ...... Magic Machine Carriage Factory, you go find me an experienced person, and do you have any friends who are learning magic power?" Ren Carlo patted his head: "Yes, I have a good friend named Rika, he is an expert in Heavenly Demon Power - a heaven like me!" Liu Lei touched his head and asked: "Did you fall a wall on the Sunrise Continent and smash ten people to death, nine of which are heaven?"
Ren Carlo shook his head and asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" I don't understand?" Liu Lei waved his hand: "It's nothing, I'm praising you Sunrise Continent people for being smart!" Ren Carlo nodded: "Actually, not all people are smart, it's just that people gather like people in groups, and people who are with me are naturally heaven - otherwise they can't understand what I say, wouldn't it be too boring?" Liu Lei nodded solemnly: "Well, what you said is very reasonable!"
"What level of magician is that friend of yours?" asked Liu Lei. Ren Carlo said proudly: "He's the same as me, he doesn't have any level - we don't need any other people's evaluation to prove ourselves on a day like this!" Liu Lei immediately said: "Forget it, let's still recruit in the unified registration examination of the whole continent!"
