Chapter273 Preparation for going to sea (the third update, asking for a monthly pass and asking for a reward)
The Immortal Fortress has its own large harbor, located in the underground canal to the east of the fortress.
Take a cargo ship along the Black Iron River all the way to the east, passing through the southern foot of the three peaks of Pagrus to reach the [Three Leaves Port] near the Sea of Watchers, because the Zuan Port of the Shurima Continent is the closest to the Valoran Continent and can almost be used as a cross-continent springboard platform, so the sea route between the Shurima Continent and the Valoran Continent will not come to the eastern port of the Immortal Fortress.
As a result, the port of Shamrock on the coastal coast of the Sea of Watchers has become an important port of origin linking the Valoran continent and the Newborn Land.
It is not realistic to ride Thea directly across the Watcher's Sea to Ionia, and the long sea flight will only allow Thea to sink into the sea forever after exhaustion.
It is not difficult to take a boat step by step, along the southeast coast of the Valoran continent to the northern island of [Palas Island], and then transfer to other transcontinental transport ships to reach Ionia eastward, the difficulty lies in how to make Thea smoothly follow the ship and go to Ionia together.
Because the merchant ships belonging to the Emerald Territory are shallow sea ships, and generally only circulate between the ports of Grove and Zuan between the continents of Valoran and Shurima, although the ships of the Emerald Collar can be used by Thea, they cannot successfully cross the ocean and reach Ionia.
Obviously, no sane captain would accept that his beloved wife was occupied by a fierce and tall mutated dragon bird, and they would rather their wife be tossed by the first mate and boatswain every day than let their wife be hurt in the slightest, after all, the first mate and boatswain still know to cherish the hull, and the beast does not know, in case a claw scratches the sail and knocks down the mast, there is no place to cry when the time comes.
A ship is life to the captain, not to mention a brig or a three-masted sailing ship used to sail across the sea, and the slightest mistake in the deep sea can cost hundreds of lives at sea, so it is impossible for dragons and birds to board a ship, or even just to rest.
Kyilan is such a determined captain, even if he is employed by Noxus, he is not willing to let a beast that can easily get out of control put his feet on his ship, it is not a matter of money or not, it is a personal principle.
Fortunately, Lester quickly used his superpowers to convince the determined old man.
"You should know that as long as I am not mad, I will never accept such a beast on the ship, and your assurances do not convince me that the beast will not go mad in the face of deep waves."
"Your ship, including all your crew and cargo, I have taken care of it, and you can get the same value of gold coins when you reach your destination, even if you fail, I will take you with my dragon bird and build a new fleet for you."
With a simple word, Keillan found that he could no longer see the blue scenery on the other side of the sea, as if something terrible had blinded his eyes, and there was a golden light in front of him.
The gods are above, and it turns out that the lord of the Emerald Lords is so majestic and handsome, it is as dazzling as the sun and as forgiving as the sea.
"Big ...... My lord, counting the value of all the cargo and crew of the ship, a total of thirteen thousand nine hundred and twelve gold Shurima coins, you ......"
"Whether you succeed or not, I will give you thirteen thousand nine hundred and twelve gold coins of Shurima, and in case of failure, I will guarantee that you will not die, and I will give you another fifteen thousand gold coins on the basis of thirteen thousand nine hundred and twelve gold coins to build a new fleet, how about it, are you still in trouble?"
"Your will is my mission, my lord, from now on, my life is yours!"
Waving his hand at the captain who was moved by him, Lester said solemnly.
"Leave the goods you brought to Ionia in the port warehouse, and sell them next time, replace the cabin with enough livestock and forage, my dragon birds need to eat land creatures in addition to fish, cattle and sheep can be, fresh water should also be prepared a little more, remember to bring more oranges, I think half a month should be enough for you to prepare,
The other thing is to lay thick hardwood planks on the deck of the ship, and my dragonfowl will rest on the deck. ”
"My lord, the cost of going to sea ......"
"When you're ready, give me the conversion list, and the gold coins you should get will naturally come into your hands, I hate deception the most, and I hate people who like to talk nonsense, I hope you can understand this."
For Lester's opening point, Keilan's smile froze, and instantly changed to a more sincere smile.
"When, of course, I may deceive anyone, but definitely not the Demon Lord, who in the Valoran Continent doesn't know that you have a beautiful and powerful dragon bird? Rest assured, neither I nor my crew will be able to keep what we see in our stomachs, and no one will find out where you are, as long as you keep your dragonfowl from destroying any of the ship's facilities, I promise to get you to Ionia safely. ”
The Gong >Gong
"I'm not a Demon Lord, and you haven't seen any Demon Lords, just call me Nicholas."
Stunned, the old captain smiled again.
"Yes, Lord Nicholas."
……
On a summer morning, Emerald Leader welcomed a dusty traveler, none other than Ruiz, who had just traveled east from Demacia.
Unlike what Ryz remembers, the dilapidated hamlet of the Knockmoch Plain has become a beautiful town in just a dozen years, and even the main road is paved with hard and neat stone slabs, much to Ryze's surprise.
Along the way, there are many human gathering places that Ruiz thinks he has seen, even in the powerful and orderly Demacia, it is rare to see such a convenient road, at most it is a gravel path,
It's not that the Demacians don't want to build, it's just that few people realize the importance of building roads, and those in power are often deterred by the high cost of construction and maintenance, but they don't see that such roads can be a solid vein for the flow of goods and people, whether in time of peace or war, and will also be a proof of the glorious existence of power and civilization.
"Stop! Who are you? ”
Stopped by the sentries in the watchtower, Ryze raised his hands.
"I'm not malicious, I'm just a traveler."
Ryze's calm voice and non-threatening gestures softened the two Shadow Crossbowman's soldiers a little, and their tones softened a lot.
"In order to prevent dangerous people from entering the territory, we must record some of your information, and please understand what your responsibilities are."
"Of course, I'm willing to cooperate."
"Where are you from, where are you going, what is the purpose of coming to the Emerald Collar, and why is your skin purple-blue?"
"I had something go wrong with my arcane magic, so that's how it is."
The bearded Ruiz continues to explain where he came from.
"My name is Ruize, I'm a wandering mage, I'm from Demacia, I want to live in the Emerald Territory for a while, find something to do, after all, I've heard about the wealth and prosperity of the Emerald Territory, I think someone should be willing to pay some money to hire a mage to do something."
After a simple search of the body, in addition to a dozen gold coins and a large handful of scattered silver and copper coins, only the large scroll in the leather bag was worth paying attention to, although he was still a little suspicious of Ruiz, but the sentry did not mean to embarrass Ruize, and quickly returned the large scroll to Ruize.
"You can enter the city, we will report your entry information,
Remember to go to the government hall to complete the registration within three days, after that, you can get the legal status of free movement in the Emerald Collar, if you do not handle it for more than three days, the Emerald Collar will regard you as a dangerous element and launch an arrest operation against you, you will not only pay a large fine, but the Emerald Collar will also refuse your subsequent entry request, so try not to postpone the process, that is very troublesome. ”
"Okay, thank you."
"No thanks, maintaining the law and order and peace of the Emerald Collar is originally our duty."
Officially entering the Emerald Collar and looking at the tall stone buildings that are not inferior to Demacia, Ryze's curiosity is seduced, but he has more important things to do before he can satisfy his curiosity.
