"Mage, this cow of yours is too big, and your requirements are too high, it's not easy to pretend. ”

Standing on the edge of Helga's dock, the owner of the fleet said to Jiayi with a somewhat bitter face.

As a long-time ship runner with a fleet of his own, he was no stranger to mages, but rejecting a mage still put a lot of pressure on him.

These ships are ocean-going ships, and every space on the ship is very precious, and Jiayi's cattle can't be loaded on them, but they have to occupy too much cargo space. In particular, Jiayi's requirements are still high, and Xiaoqing's cabin must not be too small.

Jia Yi stroked Xiaoqing's neck and said to the owner of the ship on the side, "I know this will make you load less cargo, and I will compensate you." And with me, your safety will be much better, otherwise if you encounter an accident, the loss of a ship will be much greater than a cabin. I see that you don't have a lot of sonar on your ship, and I can help you make one, you see how this goes. ”

The owners were a little excited, sonar is now one of the essential equipment for ocean-going ships, but sonar is not very easy to buy, and it is expensive, they have a whole fleet of five boats, and only the largest ship is equipped with sonar.

"I can also provide you with some medical assistance and vegetables and fruits, I think that's enough, if you don't want to, then I'll go find another fleet. ”

With that, Kaichi prepared to leave and let the owner think about it for himself.

"Wait a minute. The shipowner hurriedly stopped Jiayi, he was indeed moved, "I agree, you are welcome to board our merchant ship." ”

If it weren't for Xiaoqing's size, he would be willing to take it without charging money, but it's a pity that Xiaoqing is taking up too much space, but the conditions given by Jiayi are also impossible to refuse, and what he pointed out is the most problematic part of the ocean voyage.

After negotiating the matter, Kaichi paid the deposit in advance and returned to the city for two days, waiting for them to load the goods on the ship.

Helga is a trading city, full of busy, fast-paced, completely different from Monfilburg, although in comparison, Memphelbo is bigger, but it is not as vibrant as Helga.

In this city, even the belief in religion is perfunctory, although there are many churches here, but the people who go to the church are in a hurry, and they do not seem to be very religious, and the most believed in are gods such as the goddess of wealth and the god of the sea.

The maritime trade and the quest for wealth are constant topics for Helga.

Jiayi purchased some materials in the city, and by the way, replenished a large number of fruits and vegetables, although the storage bracelet can isolate the air, but it can't stop time, even if it is placed in the storage bracelet, the fresh fruits and vegetables will inevitably be slowly dehydrated and shriveled, vegetables become dried vegetables, and fruits become dried fruits.

However, with storage bracelets, these supplies do last longer.

When the time came, Jia came to the dock early in the morning, the dock was very busy, and now it was the winter season, which happened to be the winter monsoon, and the monsoon could reach Moshacher faster. At this time, it is the busiest time on the dock.

Finding his own fleet, the cargo on board was ready, and the final inspection was being done, and when he saw Kai Yi coming, the owner took Kaichi to the largest ship on the right.

They took Xiaoqing to the stern of the ship, where there was a newly built cabin on Class A, which looked like it had been put together improvised, and there was a leak in it.

The owner pointed to the cabin and said, "Mage, this is the compartment for your mount, the door under the cabin is too small and not ventilated for your mount to be placed underneath, so we have prepared this rear compartment." ”

But Jia Yi was a little dissatisfied with this cabin: "I know you can do anything to make money, but the quality of this temporary cabin is too poor, not only does it leak air, it doesn't look very solid, if it is blown away by the wind, doesn't Xiaoqing want to be exposed?"

"Mage, this won't be the case. This cabin of ours is very strong, and we will also strengthen it on the way, so there will be no problem, and if something really goes wrong, I will give up my cabin to this sacred cow. ”

The owner of the ship was very sure, as if he had expected it, and he took great pains to be able to load more cargo.

"You'd better remember," said Kaichi, "that if something really goes wrong, I'll throw you into the sea." ”

He unleashed his magic power, and pressed towards the other party, and the owner of the ship was in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to say again and again.

The owner of the ship must be given some deterrence, otherwise the other party may go even further, and the conditions he gave yesterday were so generous that the other party would vacate a real cabin, rather than temporarily build a shack for Xiaoqing.

However, if you don't leave, it will not be too easy to find another ship, and you will need to wait for a while. Trade is well developed here, but most of them go to Antarctica, and there are not many ships heading west.

Soon, the fleet was ready, and the ships began to leave their posts, and when Kaichi looked back, he saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the number of ships.

Pointing to the rest of the ships that were following the main ship, Kaichi turned to the owner of the ship and said, "Mr. Baden, are these also coming with us?"

The owner nodded: "Yes, this road is not safe, everyone will be together, but everyone's destination is not exactly the same, and the road will be scattered in various ports." ”

Jia Yi looked at the ships around him, there were about 7 or 8 ships in total, 5 of which belonged to Baden, and the rest were added temporarily. The size of such a fleet was not small, especially since Baden had five ships, which was enough to make ordinary petty nobles envious.

He didn't expect Baden to set off with him, generally speaking, after owning a fleet, the master would rarely set off with the ship again, running a boat is not an easy task, and the chance of encountering danger is not small.

The only feeling that Jia Yi has for Baden is that the other party is very greedy for money.

......

In the evening, the ship lit torches, and Baden invited Jiayi to have dinner with him, and now the ship has just started, and the supplies on the ship are quite abundant for the time being, and a relatively sumptuous meal can be prepared.

"Master Jiayi, try this smoked salmon, this is the most common food on the boat, although you will eat it until you want to vomit later, but the freshly made smoked salmon has a lot of flavor. ”

The salmon was pickled, a little salty at first, and then there was a smoky flavor that diluted the saltiness and revealed a fresh flavor.

"It tastes really good. Kaichi nodded to the other man, although in fact he preferred fresh fish, but this one was not bad.

In fact, although Baden seems to be greedy for money, he is very knowledgeable, especially since he was originally a perennial boater, and his knowledge of the sea and aquatic products is much higher than that of Jiayi, and when it comes to the topic of the sea, Jiayi can only be an audience most of the time.

Suddenly, Kaichi pointed to the candle on the dining table and said, "Mr. Baden, do you know why candles burn? Burning is actually a particularly magical phenomenon. ”

"Combustion, I've heard that combustion can be burned because there is a phlogiston, but I don't know if that's the case. ”

Jia Yi was a little surprised that the other party actually knew phlogiston and said: "The theory you said has now been eliminated, and the phlogiston theory has been proven to be an incorrect theory, and now the new theory is the heat mass theory, but in fact, for ordinary people, the phlogiston theory is easier to understand." ”

It's just that in Jiayi's heart, neither phlogiston theory nor thermal mass theory can be regarded as a correct theory.
