042 Procurement of the Floating City Lord
Just as the Floating City flew at a "high speed" of 7.1 kilometers per hour towards the new Star Chaser, which was anchored on the Ma Xunya River, several ships were already parked next to the Star Chaser.
These ships are basically convinced that the Star Chaser has something to do with the Floating City that has just taken off, and they came to see the situation.
The boatswain who led the sailors left behind was embarrassed, and he had repeated it many times: "I'm just a housekeeper, I don't even know what the Salvation Team is going to do, and I'm not sure if the floating city was floated by them." ”
"Do you think we'll believe you when you say that?" The captain of the other ship said, and the others immediately chimed in: "Yes, yes! ”
The boatswain smiled bitterly: "If you don't believe me, I can't help it, or they will arrest me and punish me." ”
Several captains looked at each other, they actually had some "private work" in private, such as helping a certain organization or a certain nobleman collect information along the way, and they also did that kind of torture work, but now- who dares to touch the people of the salvation team now!
Maybe the enemy that the salvation team has to face dares to move, but everyone present came with the mentality of "making friends", so they can only laugh.
Boatswain: "It's useless for you to laugh, I really don't know!" I know what you're trying to do, it's useless to give money, I don't know, I don't know. ”
At this time, a merchant captain said: "I have heard for a long time that the captain of the Salvation Team is a person who can serve the public, and when I saw it today, I saw that this was the case, and seeing the loyalty of this eldest brother, I was very sure that the captain had a good way." ”
The boatswain laughed angrily: "What is the royal family, I really don't know, you ask the brothers who stayed behind, I don't know!" You guys, let's wait for the Salvation Team to come back and ask them, they should be back soon, wait a minute. ”
Several merchant captains glanced at each other.
"That's just a wait." One of them said, and the others all nodded.
Moments later, they released the pigeons, briefed their respective shipowners about the situation, and informed them that their arrival might be delayed.
Then, no one expected that they would wait all day.
Throughout the day, they watched the Floating City slowly grow larger, from a small point in the sky to a colossus with a sense of oppression.
The only problem is that this behemoth has a lot of sail-like stuff hanging from it.
Wind Floating City?
Faced with the captains' new questions, the boatswain was still the same as yesterday: "I don't know, don't ask me!" It just so happens that the floating city has already floated over, why don't you fly up and ask the salvation team directly? ”
**
The king looked down at the river below, and found that the river was blocked by ships at anchor, and he couldn't help but wonder, "What's the matter?" Starchaser under siege? Nini, come and see, is there a battle below? ”
Nini shook her head: "There is no trace of battle, and our left-behind team on the deck of the Star Chaser is standing well, and there is no restraining appearance." ”
Wang: "Could it be that those ships all saw the Floating City and came to the Star Chase to ask about the situation?" ”
Rosalie: "That's it. How's it going, have you figured out how to show up in front of the long-awaited captains of merchant ships? ”
Wang: "Xiaobai! ”
Xiaobai answered with an "oh" and turned into a griffin.
The king mounted the griffon and said to the others, "Wait up there, and the sound stone will contact!" ”
Then he clamped the griffon's belly, and the little white rose into the air and circled down.
When they arrived on the deck of the Star Chaser, there were already a large number of people waiting for the king who had never seen him.
One of them stepped forward and asked directly: "Excuse me, ...... this floating city?"
Wang: "This is the Cyclops Floating City, which was destroyed by the Cyclops Empire just after it was built, and fell asleep before it was launched. I activated it, and I'm now the lord of this floating city! ”
The captains looked at each other, and finally the captain who had just stepped forward took the initiative to say: "This is an unprecedented event, a great change unseen in a century......
Wang: "Wait a minute, I have more important things, and it's not too late for you to blow it later." Do you know where you sell sails? And the mast, the rigging or something, now I have an emergency. ”
The captains are blinded, and the Cyclops Floating City is something that only exists in legends, and some people even regard it as a myth and don't believe that it really exists. Now the guy who started this floating city opened his mouth and asked where to sell sails and masts?
Is this floating city really floating by the wind?
"This," said the captain who spoke first, who seemed to be the representative of the captains, "we don't have canvas or masts for sale, maybe you should go to the docks in Shallow Water?" Just downstream, Shunliu arrived quickly. ”
Repulse City, the de facto "capital" of the River Regions, although the River Regions do not recognize this de facto capital, but the close economic ties make this city affect everything in the entire River Basin Countries.
The Duchy of Frank, the country that made Repulse City its capital, also saw itself as the leader of the Riverwaterlands.
Of course, they didn't say that publicly, after all, the last country that openly said that it was the leader of the countries of the River Basin ended up being beaten by Monrovia.
Wang: "Repulse City, the capital of the Duchy of Frank, is also, you can buy everything we need there." Then it's decided. Boatswain, after we've moved the Star Chaser up, you'll be promoted to ...... Uh, do you know how to operate an airship? ”
At this time, the other captains realized that there was a dwarf airship in the sky, although this thing was not as rare as the floating city, but it was also a rare thing, and many people might not be able to see it once in their lives.
The boatswain looked embarrassed: "I may be able to do it if you let me be the captain of the ship, but I can't let me be the captain of the dwarf airship." If nothing else, I can't handle those dwarf machines. We'll just sail, your ...... Your dwarf airship is also wind-powered? ”
Wang: "Not really. Okay, then we'll float to Repulse City. Now we're going to land the Floating City, and it just so happens that the captains are here, and we need to hire the sailors on your ship to do the work. ”
"Rental? What words! One captain slapped his thigh, "We're willing to serve the first-ever Floating City Lord." ”
Wang: "No, you better take the money, after all, we don't plan to let you visit the interior of the Floating City." You have taken the money and done the work, and you can do whatever you want. ”
Several captains looked at each other.
