Section 95. First voyage

It will take about three days for the purchased Ineson to arrive at Jewel Bay. Annan planned to let the new Initial go to the Violet Old Land first.

"Are you going?" In the wooden house that temporarily served as the castle lord's mansion, Ingrid asked him.

"I shouldn't go...... What's wrong? ”

"As your assistant, I shouldn't have encouraged you to go on an adventure, but I suggest you do it yourself."

"Why?"

"The Violet Kingdom contains more wealth than imagined, and the gold diggers can't take it away. Vultures can only eat leftover carrion, and the real prey belongs to the hunters. ”

In fact, when Olmedo and Ingrid first conceived, they were going to use the violet soil as the first pot of gold after Annan obtained the territory, but they didn't expect Annan to successfully gain a foothold in the Tatunn Empire, and they also moved out of the magic image to be very popular.

"And the expeditionary force is going north, maybe we can profit on both sides."

And the Violet Old Soil must have survivors like Count Ulmit. After the expeditionary force is cleared, those nobles may restore the Violet Kingdom......

Annan and the gold diggers could only watch as the ownerless treasure became the new owner's thing.

Those beautiful, mischievous golden elves should not be obtained by greedy and ugly nobles!

And there's never too much money at any given time. Wouldn't it be good to buy two Arcane Cores, one for use and one for a nightlight?

"Then I'll go for it."

Annan didn't need to do anything personally, he would be able to come back after negotiating with Count Ulmit, but he could join in the fun and "dig" the treasure when he was in the mood.

Gem City and Sertovis have no place to leave Annan for the time being. Maybe Maria could still be seen in the Violet Lands, if she was there.

Annan still had something in Sertovis, he contacted Mr. Swarro, and when the father appeared with a blank face, Annan said sincerely: "Mr. Swarro, I want to go back to the academy to get some things, and then go to the Violet Old Land." Please say goodbye to Alice and me. ”

Annan realized that it might have been a mistake to let Mr. Schwaro play Professor Snape, and although he contributed superb acting and topics, the previous Mr. Schwaro would not have been "Snape" scrutinized......

“…… Do you want me to send the violet soil? ”

Mr. Svarro's sudden thoughtfulness unnerved Annan: "No, I'll ...... with the fleet"

The next teleportation did not show any negative status, as if it had actually stepped through a door.

Annan went back to the lounge to get some clothes, and then went to the cat house.

Because "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has not yet been released, Diagon Alley, which is still under construction, is only visited by nearby residents. Annan's arrival went unnoticed.

Lily wants to follow Annan, and Annan thinks the same - there will be good luck in taking the cat on the boat. However, the white cat insisted on following, so Annan had to take it with Lily as a playmate.

It would also be nice to have this not-so-smart cat as the mascot of the new Initial Number in the future.

After explaining some matters to the merchants, Annan returned to Jewel Bay and prepared for the next voyage.

The crew of the new Initial was clearing the deck for Annan's review, and taking advantage of the gap, Annan took a turn around the textile factory.

The women workers who have been busy because of the "Fast Pants" are calming the machines that have been sleeping all night, according to the etiquette of the textile factory, "never be rough with the machine".

They inspect the machine and clean up the dust before they get to work.

Instead of correcting their "customs", Annan approached Ingrid and handed her the rest of the farmland to be cultivated, in case he would not return before March.

"Xingyue Bay is the farmland I deal with." Ingrid debunked mercilessly.

Annan hugged Lily in his arms, and followed the white cat to the new initial number.

Standing on the glossy deck, this was actually Annam's first time on a boat.

Annan thought he would get seasick from never going to sea, but as the new Initial set sail, he did not feel any discomfort.

Instead of overcoming motion sickness on his first trip to Breeze, Annan believes that it was Mr. Evaro's terrible portal that made him resistant.

The new Primordial Ship cleaves the waves with its sails up at a speed far faster than the other three-masted galleons - the ten large water elementals that never sleep at the bilge are the key.

Annan stood on the deck, the vast expanse of the sea stretching out, and the sea breeze blowing in his face, unlike any time he looked at the sea from the shore.

Letting the elementals drive the crew away, Annan let out a cry carried away by the sea breeze: "I am the king of the world——! ”

"Puff puff—"

A snickering suddenly rang out from all around.

Annan looked at Lily at her feet first. "It's not a cat." Lily shook her head.

"Meow~" The white cat next to him called innocently.

"I am the king of the world——?"

Annan shouted again tentatively, assuming that it was the fart of some crew member who was blown by the wind.

The first meal on the new Starter was fish. The lord's boarding of the ship made the cook do his best, but it was only one more step than before, and even the internal organs were removed by Annan after he found out......

Unlike similar salmon marine fish in Xingyue Bay, the fish in the Obilis Strait are close to fusiform and have thick bones, close to those of a few months-old chickens.

As Annan held a fully grilled fish in his hand, he saw a mangrove forest in the unexplored area southwest of the forested mountain range bordering Jewel Bay.

I wonder if there are crabs in this world......

The route of the new Initial is to sail from east to west along the strait, exit the strait and then go north, which is about a week.

At first, the sea was fresh to Annan, but it didn't take long for it to get boring like other sailors.

The long hours of being on the ship and doing nothing annoyed Annan, but he was relieved to remember that he had done nothing on land.

There is a collection of books on board - thanks to the mastery of the lingua franca popularized by Annam. Annan chose knightly stories between geographical maps, historical humanities, and alchemical knowledge.

During the day he was in the captain's room reading books, playing cards with the first and second mates and the sailors, and meditating under the stars when he had won enough nights.

Lily is welcomed by the crew because of her loved ones, and when they catch a fish, they give it to Lily. But Annan loves Lily more than anyone else. So when Lily gets a small fish, she will run to the water elemental to remove the fish bones.

The white cat was not good, it was so stupid that it ran when it saw someone other than Annan, and it couldn't lure it with a fish, so much so that Annan gave it the name "Silly Cat".

The seafaring life dispelled the impetuosity of money and purified Annan's mind, and at one point, he felt that he was no longer far away from an elite warlock......

As Annan got closer and closer to the elite, they arrived at the place where the McKenn ratmen had landed.
