In anticipation, the first fishing boat can finally be launched today. After Wayne untied the rope, the 60-ton boat slipped and fell to the surface of the sea along the rolling logs. It took a few ups and downs to settle down.

The merchants who had come to watch had already stood all over again, and as the fishing boats were launched, there was a round of applause.

Someone shouted.

"Nils will come up with a name for the new ship. ”

Quickly won the support of the people around him.

Wayne naturally won't give up.

looked at the new ship and said in a high-pitched voice.

"Let's call it a fast boat. ”

Quickly won praise from the surroundings, saying that Wayne's name was really good, in line with the characteristics of the ship or something. Wayne smiled, and he would take it seriously, he still knew what level he was.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get on the boat and have a look. I hope Mr. Dion does not refuse. ”

Wayne smiled and said to a short, stocky middle-aged man next to him.

"No, no, you're still welcome to visit. ”

Of course, Dion wanted to refuse, why should he let others see the boat he bought with a lot of money.

Of course, the other merchants were happy, and they could see what the ship was like in advance, and they had a bottom in their hearts when they bought it themselves.

Led by the fisherman, the boat slowly sailed to the sampan protruding from the pier. Wayne was the first to wait for the ship. I took a look around the deck, then went to the cabin. Still very satisfied.

Dion was also very satisfied with the ship, such a large cabin, plus the deck must be able to catch a lot of fish. After reading this, the desire of the rest of the merchants to buy a boat became even stronger.

"Do you see this big pillar?"

Wayne patted the ship's mast. The crowd paused and listened intently to Wayne's next speech. This is the Count of Nils, who dares to be sloppy.

"This is the place where the sails are hung, and it's a big cloth. When the wind blows on the cloth, it will take the boat with it, and the speed will be so fast that you can't catch up with the horseback. ”

The merchants nodded in satisfaction, but someone still reacted.

"If there is a headwind, the boat does not go backwards. ”

Wayne shook his head.

"No, even if it's a headwind. As long as the captain is experienced in piloting, it is no problem for the boat to sail against the wind. However, the specific principle is a bit complicated, and you can go to the Ship Research Institute to ask. ”

After dispelling the doubts, Wayne continued.

"If the boat is lucky, it is expected to catch half a ton of fish. If you sell it, you can sell it for about 120 gold coins. And the cost of a ship is only three thousand. ”

The businessmen did a little math, and they knew that buying and selling was far less profitable than Nolan's industries. According to Wayne's calculations, a ship will have to go to sea almost 25 times before it can return to its original cost. And that's not even counting the manpower costs. The period suitable for fishing is only three months. It takes almost four years to pay back. Not to mention the fact that these businessmen did a lot of work in advance and learned from the fishermen. There is a great danger in going to sea, storms, getting lost, etc. are all dangers. It's hard to get the ship wrecked and people killed. That's a loss of money.

But since they are here to explain that there is still a profit, since it is a profitable business, there is no reason to abandon it.

Wayne is also very sorry that he can't make up a story like the Europeans of his previous generation. In the far east, there was a land full of gold, and so on. Even Wayne felt that this planet might only have this land under his feet. Because on an astronomical scale, the vast majority of planets are all land, and the rest are rare water-bearing planets, and these planets are all water, and there is no land. And there are really too few new balls like the Earth in the previous life that have both land and water. It's basically one in a thousand.

So Wayne didn't dare to bet on how big the planet's land area was, whether it was a whole piece or scattered. Wayne wasn't sure.

However, if possible, Wayne must understand the structure of this planet. Look at the primitive people who have not yet been uncivilized on a continent.

But that's probably going to be a long time later.

The Magic Tower is located on an isolated island in the east, not far from the land of the Richland. In Homer's territory next to Niel's territory, however, for special reasons, Homer does not manage the magic tower, and the magicians in the magic tower rarely communicate with the outside world. So much so that it has become a legend in the mouths of many civilians.

The Magic Tower is a Gothic structure almost 50 meters high. At night, it emits a glowing blue light that is obscured by the sunlight during the day, due to the magic circle carved on the wall of the magic tower, on which the ancient magicians carved the magic circle that absorbs magic power. Originally, there was plenty of magic around it, plus a magic array. The inside of the magic tower is full of magic, and it is a place of practice that many magicians yearn for. However, after the ebb and flow of magic power, the magic tower has not regained its former glory. The magic remaining in the air barely supports the magician to cast his magic, and due to the presence of the magic array, the magic power in the magic tower can be maintained to the level of the normal environment of the ancients.

Many magicians studied here. Moreover, each mage is researching his own line of magic, and the study of basic elements such as water, fire, and air allows the mage to perform more magic. Sometimes it can even increase the level of the mage.

When you get to the Grand Magister, you can have breakthrough powers (for now) and your lifespan can be extended considerably. Therefore, most of the folk descriptions of powerful magicians are white-bearded grandfathers.

So far, there are a total of six Great Magisters, one of which is the Sunan Grand Magus who serves in the royal family.

As mentioned earlier, there were two archmages who took the opportunity to study the life continuation magic circle in Olmedo's back garden.

And now, these two magicians have finally figured out the purpose of this magic array through their hands.

An archmage said angrily.

"After working for a long time, it turns out that this magic array can only be used to repair the life of alchemy dolls. Useless for us. ”

Wrinkles had filled every corner of his face, and it was clear that his life had come to its last moment.

"Alas, it seems that there is no magic in the world that can sustain life, and even those extremely powerful magicians in ancient times cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death. Not to mention us. ”

The other magician said with relief.

"No, Gargamel. You can compromise with death, but I can't. I've studied magic all my life, and I don't want to die like this. There must be a way. ”

"Don't you understand, this is the law of nature, if you blindly pursue these things that break the rules, you will be devoured. ”

"Hmph, will we soon be chasing something that breaks the rules all our lives? We can control fire, waves, air... Can ordinary people break through? We have already broken through the limits of ordinary people, so why can't we break through life and death?"

With that, Ksmin went straight out the door, Gargamel sitting in his chair dejectedly and muttering.

"Actually, we're still ordinary people. ”
