"Boss, didn't you go to the Adventurers' Guild and come back to tell us to pay attention to a mage? Now the mage you're talking about is coming to us!"

The crew member, named Parker, said awkwardly.

"Mage? Wait a minute...... Mage? Oh, I remember, it's the mage who sent out 10 gold lunds to buy the news of those mineral sources and sole trees! Where are the others?"

At the mention of Kinnent, Captain Nick suddenly sobered up a lot, and when he opened the door completely, he found Xia Lin standing next to his smiling men.

"Ahem...... Hello, Master Master! I'm Nick Eddard, and I've submitted those commissions to find minerals and materials!"

Seeing Xia Lin, Nick Ed coughed twice and gave him a standard aristocratic salute, completely missing the drunkard temperament just now.

"Hello, Captain Nick, I'm Charlene Carr, the mage who issued the commission to find those materials, I heard President Flower say that you have these materials, I don't know if it's accurate?"

"Of course, as a captain and adventurer, I have been sailing the Franco-Anga and Arga seas for more than fifteen years, and I have seen all sorts of things, and I know all the sources of these ores and the strange plant juices you are looking for.

Oh, by the way, please come in and talk! I need to make a few maps of those origins."

Captain Nick opened the door with some apologies and let the two of them in, while he went to the bedside and began to get dressed.

On that bed there was still a beautiful girl, sleeping on her side with her white shoulders exposed, Xia Lin looked at the messy underwear on the ground, and suspected that she was not wearing the slightest at all.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, and instead followed Captain Nick, who had dressed three times and two times, to his desk, where he placed pen and paper, and Captain Nick sat down and began to draw curvy lines.

Although the lines are crooked, this does not mean that Captain Nick's drawing skills are very poor, but Xia Lin can see from his pen holding posture and the stability of the pen that Captain Nick should have received a fairly good painting education, thinking of Captain Nick's surname and the huge change just now, Xia Lin had a little guess:

"Captain Nick, with all due respect, are you from House Eddard?"

"Oh, of course! Although there are many people with the surname Ed in the empire, many of them are ordinary civilians, but there is no doubt that the people with the surname Ed in the imperial capital have noble blood, and I am indeed a side of the Ed family!

Therefore, His Excellency Xia Lin need not doubt my ability, as a captain, I have learned a lot of knowledge myself, so that I can write that logbook and find the origin of those materials you need.

My hobby is exploring the unknown and seeing different landscapes there! It's just a bit expensive, so you know!"

Captain Nick turned back to Xia Lin and winked playfully and explained with a smile.

"Yes! The poor bastards of the Ed family can only afford to live in such a tavern every time they come back from a voyage, and they quarrel with my brother every day for one or two copper bis!"

The girl behind the three of them was awakened by the movement, she stretched lazily, the quilt slipped off to reveal her youthful body, yawned slightly, and sarcastically said to Captain Nick, with whom she had spent the night.

The crew member named Parker looked quite old, and as a crew member, he turned his head quickly when he saw this scene, looking a little shy.

Although Xia Lin was young, he had been an old driver in his previous life, so he didn't react to this, and asked with a smile:

"So Captain Nick is short of money?"

"Of course he is short of money, if he had money, I would marry him, but unfortunately he only knows that he will let his Thorn Bird, worth hundreds of gold lundes, sail to explore some strange islands, and he doesn't care about me at all! By the way, could you please help me hand over my clothes?"

The tavern-maid, whose name seemed to be Susan, said with some grief, and then stretched out her arms to the three of them.

"I'm busy making money to marry you! Parker, you

Go help Susan!"

Captain Nick received a sarcastic call from Susan, and ordered his men in some irritation.

His relationship with Susan doesn't seem to be just a benefactor and a girl, but it doesn't seem like a lover, otherwise he doesn't care about letting his men help the girl with whom he spends the night.

Of course, this may also be due to the fact that Captain Nick is more open-minded about love and doesn't care about such trivial matters.

"I...... Me?"

Hearing Captain Nick's order, Parker blushed and stammered. The whiteness just now seemed to remain in his heart, making the heart of this rare pure sailor ripple.

"Forget it, I'd better do it!"

Xia Lin didn't know if life was precarious, how could there be such a pure man in the group of sailors who were usually drunk today, shook his head and cast a mage's hand, and handed her the clothes on the ground in Susan's surprised gaze.

"Alright, thank you, young and handsome mage, and may you have a good morning! And I wish you a lot of money to marry me home! Dear Captain Nick!"

In Parker's slight disappointment and entanglement, Susan skillfully put on the clothes.

She turned and got out of bed to the door, turned back and gave two flying kisses to Captain Nick and Charlin, and then went downstairs with a light footstep.

"Make money...... What's the point of making money, a man has to leave his name in the world......

Captain Nick muttered three crude maps and put down his pen:

"Alright, Lord Xia Lin, this is where I think you need those minerals and materials! This is the imperial capital of Hurgana, and this is the port of Dafa.

Sail east coast for three days from the port of Dafa, about 80 flanges (about 65 nautical miles) away, and you'll have the graphite mine you need.

And then on this small island along this route, there was a strange red iron ore, which I didn't care about at the time, and now it seems to be the ore you are looking for......

As for the strange material produced by the trees, I had seen something similar to what you described there eight years ago when I was still in the south preparing to sail the Aga Sea.

The local naturalized natives there use it to make the soles of their shoes, and everyone calls it this kind of tree sole tree, and I think it looks good to wear, and it should be what you are looking for!"

Following Captain Nick's explanation, Xia Lin wrote down the locations of these origins one by one, and in the end, Captain Nick actually had exact origin information for the six materials he needed, which made Xia Lin very surprised. After thinking about it, he proposed:

"Captain Nick, I'm very pleased with the information you provided, this is a check for sixty gold entrets, which can be exchanged for gold lunt as long as you go to the merchant bank and hand it over to the teller.

In addition, I would like to ask you, would you like to accept the funding of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce? The various geography, ocean currents, islands, and products you have accumulated in your explorations and adventures over the years are of great interest to our New Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

If you are willing, we at the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce are willing to provide you with 20 gold lun per month to explore these things to your heart's content, in exchange for the information you have accumulated over the years.

In addition to this information, you only need to lead our Chamber of Commerce fleet to familiarize yourself with these routes, or take on some transportation tasks when needed!

Compared with those scholars who stay at home and study history, poetry, and rhetoric, I think that a person like you who has the courage to explore the unknown is more worthy of the name of a scholar, and you know so many animals, plants, minerals, and geography, you can be called a naturalist!"
