"Okay, senior brother, then I'll take my leave first, and I'll see you when I come back."

Merlin and Hunn were walking and chatting, just as they walked outside the Rhine Tower.

"Wait a minute, Merlin This is the meditation method left over from the knowledge storm, you are estimated to break through to the magician soon, and you can't break through without the meditation method."

Huon quickly unleashed a soundproof spell, and then passed on the follow-up rules of the knowledge storm to Merlin.

Merlin looked complicated, but after thinking about it, he accepted it.

He didn't need a storm of knowledge, but it was hard to tell for a moment that he was practicing another meditation method.

"Okay, thank you, brother, thank you, teacher, wait for me to come back!"

Although Merlin was a little sad to part, he still left without looking back.

He may not come back, he may return with a full load, or he may not get anything.

He could choose to stay in Rhine City and grow up, but that would be a mediocre growth for half his life.

He has the World Tree, and he should not choose mediocrity, but choose to swim against the current.

Dragon Island is his best choice.

……

The most developed area of the Rhine is the ocean-going trade.

The Ivory Peninsula is located on the southernmost side of the Norland continent, while the Rhine City is also on the southernmost side of the Ivory Peninsula.

Rhine City is surrounded by the Endless Sea and backed by the Sapphire Forest, whether it is the sea trade or the development of adventurers' quests.

It is considered the most prosperous city on the Ivory Peninsula.

Of course, it is said that the ocean trade is actually within more than 10,000 kilometers of the coast of the Endless Sea, which is considered offshore.

According to the division of the coastal cities of Norland, the Endless Sea is divided into:

Offshore water, within 10,000 kilometers of the coast, is a place where development, exploration, and ocean trade can be carried out.

The deep sea is a paradise for adventurers, a sacred place for pirates, and a habitat for sea monsters.

Unknown and terrifying sea monsters, unpredictable weather, and mysterious underwater races all operate in the deep sea area.

Even the Wailing Throne is active in the depths of the deep sea region!

The Dragon Island that Merlin is going to is also in the deep sea area, but fortunately, it is only an area that is not very far from the offshore area.

If you go deeper, maybe Merlin will have to reconsider whether to go to Dragon Island.

Deeper in the deep sea area, it is called the unknown area, and as the name suggests, it is unknown.

It may be possible to survive if the power possessed in the deep sea area is extremely strong, but in the unknown area, the legend may not live long if it enters, and it will quickly disappear.

Since the disappearance of the dragon, countless people have ventured into the deep sea, and countless people have died in the endless sea.

There are also countless people who have returned triumphantly with the treasures of the deep sea.

The Endless Sea has endless horrors, but it also has endless treasures of resources.

This led to the birth of ocean-going trade, ocean-going adventures.

Merlin was in the southern port of the Rhine.

This is one of the largest ports in the Rhine, and countless magic ships and fishing boats are docked in the harbor.

Demon swordsmen dressed in noble mage robes and cloth armor can be seen everywhere.

Merlin looked up into the distance, masts like spears, and countless sailors in linen suits carrying goods in the deep water.

Flat-bottomed cargo ships, broad-bodied sailboats, galleons, one after another docked ashore.

Dark-skinned sailors of all stripes on deck were cleaning or hoisting their sails.

Merlin took a deep breath and said, "The taste of the sea, the taste of freedom"

He had put on his gray cloak and put his hood on his head.

Gusts of sea breeze blew, and Merlin had to wrap his cloak tightly to bring a hint of warmth.

Soon he was in the position of the fleet of the Tuart family.

The fleet of the Tuart family was on the easternmost side of the port south of the city.

Merlin walked in this direction, and soon a small castle appeared in front of Merlin's eyes.

He knew that the owner of the castle was Fergus Stuart, who was none other than the largest merchant in the Rhine, and that even the Black Pearl Chamber of Commerce was said to have a stake in him.

Merlin wasn't looking for Fergus Stewart, it was too ostentatious, he just had to find Stuart's fleet to buy a ticket.

Soon Merlin came to a house with the words Stuart Ocean Trade written on it.

Entering the door, Merlin first glanced at the route map of the Endless Sea next to him, and confirmed the route he needed to go.

He asked a young man in a dark brown overalls behind the counter in a suppressed voice across the high counter.

"Is there a boat to Turner Island?"

Turner Island is the closest colony island to the Deep Sea of the Endless Sea, and a testament to the mages' conquest of the Endless Sea's offshore zone.

And if you want to enter the deep sea zone, you must change ships on Turner Island, otherwise no ocean-going trade ship will dare to enter the deep sea zone except for private ships.

"Yes, 1 gold in a normal cabin, 5 gold in a medium cabin, and 50 gold in a deluxe cabin."

The young staff member was quick to respond.

"Why is the luxury cabin so expensive, and is there any difference between it and the other rooms?"

Merlin frowned, he originally thought that a few gold coins would be enough, but he didn't expect that the luxurious room would cost more than 50 gold coins.

"That's right, the normal cabin is a room for five people, and the medium cabin is two people in a room but has the effect of condensing the magic element.

The luxury cabin is one room per person and in the safest and most stable location.

Inside the cabin, there are not only magic circles that condense magical elements, but also a series of magic circles such as sound insulation and defense. ”

"Oh, okay, when are you going?"

Although Merlin thinks it's a bit expensive, it seems to be worth it, not to mention that he has a lot of money now.

In Teacher Rhine's treasury, there were several boxes of gold coins, which illuminated the entire treasure house brilliantly, and he only caught a large handful, about more than 10,000, which was enough for him to buy a whole ship.

"Departure in about half an hour"

"Okay, get me a luxurious one"

He roughly calculated the itinerary, and it would take about two months to get to Turner Island, and 50 gold coins was still worth squandering.

"Yes, this is your ticket, you can board the ship now"

Merlin saw him hand over a card-like number plate with a serpentine vein drawn on it.

Merlin has learned that the Stuart family has used the sea snake as their family mark for generations, not only on the seal, but even on the sails of his ship.

Merlin didn't think much of it, and quickly found the ship "Indestructible" marked on his ticket.

After a series of inspections, Merlin finally boarded the Immortal Hurricane and entered the room.

The room is about 40 square meters, and there are several glowing magic lamps hanging on it.

On one wall hangs a map of the Endless Sea, and on the other a map of the world of Norland.

Of course, the maps show the major cities, but in fact most of the areas are blank.

Merlin carefully examined it with the True Eye, and found that there were traces of two or three magic circles intersecting together.

After taking a closer look and making sure there was nothing wrong, Merlin dispelled the True Eye.

"Whew"

Merlin took a deep breath and finally set off to find the Dragon Island that he had been thinking about, and he was very excited at the moment.
