002 The first problem after the departure

After the king got on the mast, the first thing he did was to pat Xiaobai on the back of the head: "Become an individual animal, the spine of the leopard." ”

Xiaobai suddenly turned back into a human and shouted, "Then you won't come down?" This observatory is so big! ”

"You've just taken all the places, you've just been a money leopard! So big! The king gestured with his hand.

Xiaobai: "Blame me? Hmph, I won't take you down later! I'll turn into a bird and fly down! ”

Wang: "It's okay, I specially prepared the feather fall technique today, just to prevent falling off the mast." ”

Xiaobai: "The boat is advancing, you will fall into the water!" I'm not going to save you. ”

Wang: "First, I can swim. Second, I have inertia, and although I may not be able to move at the same speed as the boat for various reasons when I fall, this time should be enough for me to grab the rope on the boat. ”

In order to operate the sails, the boat that Wang's team was on also had a large number of ropes, which looked similar to that of a sea ship - of course, this was the rough opinion of a layman who had no experience in going to sea.

Xiaobai looked at Wang and thought for a few seconds, then shook his head: "I don't understand." Anyway, you'll just go down by yourself later, right? I'm going to turn into an eagle or something and catch you. What's that? ”

Wang looked down at what he had just taken out: "This? This is called a telescope, it is a dwarf handicraft, which can see things in the distance, and the sextant and compass are called the three treasures of navigation. ”

Xiaobai: "Why do you have everything?" ”

"Of course, I'm on a trip, so I'll have to prepare a little more. However, only for what can be found in the Mage Tower. ”

Xiaobai: "Then do you have anything to eat?" ”

Wang silently took out a bean: "Yes." This is something that my little uncle brought when he came back from a trip to a certain plane, and if you eat one, you won't be hungry for a day. ”

Xiaobai: "Can I try it?" ”

The mage nodded.

Xiaobai snatched it and swallowed it in one gulp. Then she immediately looked bitter: "It's not sweet! And it tastes like rice. ”

Wang: "Yes, my junior uncle has studied, this is the starch with super high energy density, since he introduced this thing into the Mage Tower, the teachers in the tower who are obsessed with research have all gone crazy, they don't have the right food at all, and they will solve it by throwing one when they are hungry."

"Later they found out that if people don't eat, their stomachs will shrink and they will get sick.

"The treatment of this disease with the removal of disease scrolls is not necessarily successful, the scrolls that are always spare in the tower are all used up, and there is no priest, no one will perform the disease removal magic technique, so I have to urgently go to other planes to purchase a large number of removal disease scrolls."

Xiaobai: "I suddenly think it's fun to be a mage. When I first came out of the tribe, I wanted to see what it was like to see a master, so I turned into a bird and watched all day outside the window of a female mage's apprentice, and it turned out that she had been reading and reading, and still reading. ”

Wang picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, and responded, "The main thing is that our mage tower is different, and our teaching policy is ...... It is more practice-oriented, after all, the founder is that kind of character. ”

The little white fox looked at Wang suspiciously: "And then taught a nerd?" ”

Wang: "I got a very high score in the experiment!" Whether it's a magic experiment or a science experiment, it's very high! ”

Xiaobai: "What is an experiment?" ”

"It's ......"

"Ah, I don't listen, I don't listen! It's definitely a difficult word again! ”

Elizabeth was now circling under the mast, and after a few steps, she looked up at the two men on top.

The dwarf was smoking a cigarette next to her, and when he saw her like this, he asked, "Why don't you let the druid turn into a bird and drag you up?" The little mage brother didn't think of this trick just now, so he had to ride a leopard up. ”

Elizabeth was speechless: "I'll go up...... You can't stand still, right? ”

Marika: "Just take your skirt off." ”

"How many times have I said it, don't use honorifics now."

"That won't work, you're an official envoy to Monrovia, and I'm your servant and bodyguard, so I must use honorifics." Marika said seriously, "Back to what happened just now, I'll help you remove the skirt support, or simply change into a riding skirt, and you can go up." ”

"But...... It makes it feel like a competition for favor! The most important thing is that Xiaobai should not have that idea at all, and Wang didn't ...... either"

As he spoke, a bird fell from the top and snapped back into Xiaobai.

Elizabeth was shocked: "What will you do when you come down to the king?" If he slips, no one will be able to save him! Now we don't have resurrection scrolls! When he dies, an angry mage will come with an army of demons. ”

Xiaobai: "He has prepared a feather fall technique, don't worry." ”

Elizabeth: "Huh? ”

Xiaobai: "Feather Fall Technique!" Where's my meat? ”

Flint gestured to the ham on the wooden crate next to him.

Xiaobai went over to pick up the ham and was about to eat it, when he suddenly frowned and stopped moving.

Flint: "What's wrong?" Too salty, huh? Give you water. ”

Xiaobai: "No. I was suddenly not hungry and did not want to eat at all. ”

Everyone looked at her together.

Elizabeth: "You didn't stop talking yesterday. ”

Marika corrected: "She hasn't stopped her mouth except when she's sleeping these days, and she's always chewing when I see her." I suspect it's a druid trait that gives them the stomach of a bear and the regurgitation of a cow. ”

Xiaobai shouted: "It's that bean!" This guy gave me a bean, said that he would not be hungry after eating this for a day, and said that eating this thing would cause my stomach to shrink! He made me sick! ”

Flint laughed, "That's a coincidence, he also made Elizabeth sick!" Secret trouble! Wait a minute, this should be a joke, right? ”

Xiaobai threw down the ham, shouted "I'll look for him", and turned into a bird and went to the sky.

**

Five minutes later, in the cabin of the Star Chaser, Wang looked at Xiao Bai rolling on the bed and gently touched his forehead: "I didn't expect that the first trouble after we started our journey was to solve the problem that Xiao Bai didn't want to eat meat. ”

Elizabeth: "She just said she would get sick if she ate that......"

"Yes, if you don't eat for ten years, you will get sick." The king replied, "She will be able to eat meat normally tomorrow." ”

Xiaobai: "Can't eat meat for a day?" Mmmm, kill me! ”

Wang: "Actually, it's just that you have an itchy heart and want to eat meat, but you're not hungry, and your body resists eating." ”

Xiaobai replied pitifully: "Yes." ”

Wang: "The solution is very simple, Gao Trick, knock her unconscious, let her sleep for the day!" ”

Gortrek began to snap his fingers with a click.

Xiaobai: "I don't want it!" ”

The dwarf stopped the barbarian who was about to make a move: "Don't, what if you kill her?" I don't remember how long ago, the mage of the team I was in had a phobia of water, so the team decided to knock him out so that he could cross the river with us instead of blowing us up with a spell.

"In the end, the brute punched him to death."

The crowd was envious of the silence.

Even Xiaobai didn't shout anymore.

On behalf of everyone, Wang said, "You are a pastor. ”

Facing everyone's gaze, the dwarf stretched out his hand: "What are you doing with me?" At that time, I had just left my hometown, and I could only use the One Ring Divine Technique, what could I do? By the way, I can't help it now, I mean a punch to death. You'll have to ask me to come back to the one who was favored by Kailin in the future and got the high-ring magic technique. ”

Wang was speechless: "Okay, I know, there has to be an alternative." The whole piece of meat was given to her mouth, and she didn't want to swallow it now anyway, so at least she could taste the meat. ”

Elizabeth exclaimed, "No! I disagree! ”

Wang looked at her with a stunned expression: "What are you shouting?" What's your business? ”

"Huh? I thought ......"

Marika: "I think he said ordinary meat. ”

Wang: "Of course it's ordinary meat, or else?" ”

Elizabeth: "Then I'll go and have the crew prepare the meat." ”

She turned around with a click, and walked out of the cabin with her hands and feet.

Wang asked everyone blankly: "What's wrong with her?" ”

The dwarves, drow, and werewolves all laughed.

The mage rubbed his head suspiciously.

That's when there was a knock on the door.

Wang: "Come in!" ”

The captain of the Star Chaser opened the door and came in: "I just saw Miss Langdon go out with a red face, did something happen?" ”

"Nope." Marika replied in place of the king, "Report your business." ”

The captain nodded: "I'm here to report the trip, based on the current speed of sailing, we will cross the dividing line between Langdon and Vale at noon tomorrow." In order to collect taxes, the valley leader built a water gate on the river. ”

Wang: "Watergate? ”

"Yes, because the Vale Territory has no special products, and many of the merchant ships from Langdon Territory don't stop at them at all.

"The cargo ships on Langdon's side are loaded with products from the other side of the World Mountains that come from the shield road, and the profits are very high, and you can make a lot of money when you ship them to Monrovia, and the warehouse is expensive.

"Short-distance cargo from Langdon to River Valley is not transported by merchant ships, and the profits are too low. These goods can only be transported by commercial wagons, which can take several days.

"The valley leaders watched a large number of merchant ships pass in front of them, but they did not stop and did not pay taxes, and finally they built a water gate in the narrowest part of the valley to collect taxes."

The king touched his chin and muttered, "That's why Bruce is marrying the Duchess of Riverdale." After these two dukedoms are controlled by the same family, no one will collect taxes from the middle, and the trade routes are estimated to be twice as prosperous. ”

"More than that," the captain said, "it's one thing to get through customs and pay taxes, and it's another thing to wait in line. The administrative efficiency of the valley collar ...... Well, it's far worse than Langdon anyway. Directly near the Prauntain there was a town dedicated to entertaining sailors waiting for the ship to pass through. ”

Wang: "The Rivervalley Territory must be someone sent by Bruce to manage it now, right?" The Duchess is still trying to conceive a child in Langdon. ”

The captain frowned: "You don't know? ”

Wang: "What do you know?" ”

The captain handed over a letter: "The letter that the Duke of Langdon ordered me to forward, I thought you must have known in advance. It is rumored that the man sent by the Duke to the River Valley is under house arrest, and I suspect that this letter is the official letter entrusted to you to deal with this matter. ”

The king looked at the wax on the envelope with the coat of arms of the Langdon family, and was speechless.

The dwarf patted his thigh: "This cunning fellow, catch us and use it to death!" ”
