Xia Duo and Nia followed Evans to the port pier, standing on the edge of the "Far Away", looking at the big ship that was slightly longer than the "Lucky Owen", Xia Duo nodded secretly.

The ship was not an ocean-going vessel, and its hull size and carrying capacity were not as large as those of a real ocean-going vessel, but it had no problems sailing inshore.

Although Hubble is far from Seuwenton, it is still part of the scope of offshore navigation, which starts with a special geographical environment in the Narrow Sea.

The overall shape of the Narrow Sea resembles a stomach, and the narrowest part to the northwest is the esophagus that connects to the stomach, and the dwarven kingdom of Danzo's trading city on the ground is at the end of the esophagus.

In the east, a strait mountain range extending from the arctic glacier divides the main body of the narrow sea into east and west.

Genes is located on the southern shore of the West Narrow Sea, while Sevington is located on the southern shore of the East Narrow Sea.

As for Hubble Harbor, it is actually the cut off of the Strait Range in the narrow sea, of course, this is only from the surface of the sea, and at the bottom of the sea, the Strait Range is still a whole.

Watch Island, on the other hand, is the closest island outside Hubble Harbor, and of course it can also be understood as a mountain peak in the Strait Mountains that rises above the sea.

The fastest way to sail from Seuventon to Hubble is, of course, to go as straight as possible, taking into account the direction of the wind and undercurrents.

However, doing so will inevitably lead to deep into the ocean, and the risk factor is higher.

With a ship as unsuitable for ocean going as the Far Away and a new crew that had just been recruited, it was not safe to sail in such a way.

The safest way to do this is to follow the coastline westward, reach the Channel Mountains, and then continue north along the Channel Mountains until you reach Hubble Harbor.

If you sail in this way, you will be basically in the offshore range.

Last night, Shado and Nia had also discussed the route, and while the two of them weren't worried about the risks at sea, the ship and the rest of the crew on board did.

Therefore, even Nia, who is looking forward to a sea adventure, is very much in favor of a safer offshore route.

……

Once on board, Evans introduced the couple to Captain Bill, a veteran navigator who is said to have led his crew to victory over a sea monster at sea.

"My lord, Evans is exaggerating, I only survived the attack of the sea monster that time, and I can't defeat it at all." Bill said humbly.

However, Xia Duo was full of pride from his humble words, which was indeed something to be proud of, after all, encountering a sea monster at sea was not a good way for even a spellcaster.

Running away is almost the only option, and if you want to run successfully in the vast sea, it is almost impossible for ordinary spellcasters to succeed.

As Evans continued to talk about the ship's past, Xaldo noticed that Bill, the old captain, had a lonely look.

After listening to Evans' narration, he also roughly understood the origin of Bill's loneliness.

Primarily, last year, the kingdoms of Netherel and Danzo cleaned up and reorganized the underground passage connecting Gennis and Askol, eliminating most of the underground creatures that threatened the caravan's traffic.

At the same time, the toll has been greatly reduced, which has led to the fact that ocean shipping has become a bit of a chicken.

There is no more obvious advantage than a short time.

Most of the trade between the kingdoms of Nesseril and Danzo is concentrated in raw ores, metals, weapons, grain, wine, etc., among which Nesseriel mainly exports raw ores, grain, wine, and imports metals and weapons.

Among them, the metal is mainly Mithril.

Ores, metals, and the like have no shelf life, but even grain and wine have a shelf life that covers the entire time spent overland.

If there is any high-speed transportation in the future, then sea transportation will be completely lost.

This is why the "Far Away" was abandoned by its original owner, and Captain Bill has recently lost his job for this reason.

It is also difficult for Xia Duo to comment on this result, although there is air transport on the earth, but sea transport is still prosperous, because of the large volume of transportation, cheap freight, and safety.

And in this magical world, before the sea monsters can be effectively dealt with, the sea is somewhat unlucky, of course, the land route may not be safe, and there will be a large number of wild monsters attacking the caravan.

But comparatively speaking, it is safer to travel by land.

Even if there is an environment and technology similar to that on Earth in the future, shipping may not be able to rise again, you must know that there is magic in this world.

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

Of course, it is impossible to teleport in space on Earth, but here, Xia Duo has just used the teleportation circle to come from the south!

Once the cost of transmission is greatly reduced, whether it is sea or land transportation, it will be necessary to stop cooking.

As a senior arcanist, Xia Duo knows very well where the difficulty is, and there is basically only one difficulty, and that is cheap resources.

Mithril, gold, colorless gems, and arcane crystals, as long as they are cheaper, it is easy to have a commercial situation of teleportation circles.

And this is very easy to achieve in the foreseeable future!

For a while, Xia Duo didn't know how to describe this kind of developed and backward society, but this made him more and more determined to develop a magical civilization.

Only magic is the primary productive force; Only civilization can bring this great power into full play.

……

Before setting sail, Evans disembarked and disembarked with the Tower of Time version of the telecommunication device that Chardot had given him.

On deck, Chado waved to Evans and led Nia to the bow of the ship, and as the sea ahead of him continued to separate under his feet, the Far Away gradually sailed away from the port of Seuwenton.

"Look, Shado! Is that a dolphin? ”

Following the direction of Nia's finger, Xia Duo turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw five or six dolphins jumping up from the surface of the sea, sliding over a curve, and then smashing into the water, making a splash.

After that, he jumped up again, and after several times in succession, he disappeared.

In Nesser, it is also said that encountering dolphins at sea will be lucky, but this is the first time Nia has seen dolphins, and after confirming with Xia Duo many times, Nia also became extremely excited.

"Look, they're here again!"

Xia Duo looked back and saw that not only had they come again, but they had also been swimming with the "Far Away" for a long distance, and the most recent time, the five or six dolphins were only more than ten meters away from the "Far Place".

After the dolphins gave up on the boat, Nia cast a spell to search for them, but unfortunately, the usual detection spell was not good in the water or in the dirt.

Looking at the place where the dolphins disappeared in the distance, Nia suddenly said, "I have decided, I want to create a detection spell that can detect underwater information!" ”

"Well, great idea!"

Xia Duo encouraged.
