Chapter 226 The Return of the Southern Cross

The clouds above Liyue are floating lazily, and the wind is very light, as if you can hear the melody from a foreign country in the wind.

On the pier, Farmas was still drinking heavily, but Wendy suddenly raised her head, her slender eyelashes blinked lightly, her mint-colored eyes looked at Farmas, who was getting along well with the workers, and then raised her head , squinting at the glare of the sun.

He can't stay here for too long. He is the god of Mond and the ruler of Mond. The sky gives them extraordinary power, but also stipulates their range of activities.

Hundreds of years ago, Wendy, as the wind of freedom, still had the opportunity to travel across the entire Tivat continent, but since she woke up this time and handed over her God's Heart, Wendy has lost the most effective certificate for traveling the continent .

"The Southern Cross fleet is back in port!"

Wendy was thinking of finding a reason to leave when there was a loud roar from the pier, Famas, who was fighting with the dock workers, raised his head and looked towards the sea.

With the help of the binoculars made by Sumi, Jiang Zhou, the manager of the dock, can see the black spots emerging from the sea.

And Famas, relying on his divine power, could clearly see the fleet in the sea from a very far distance, especially the approaching Death Omen.

These ships were densely connected together, entering Liyue Port one after another. According to the report of the sailing in advance, there are a total of hundreds of Southern Cross fleets leaving the port to buy fireworks from Daozuma. Returning, thousands of miles of sea, naturally it is impossible to be calm.

With the name of the Southern Cross Fleet here, on this road, pirates and the like dare not approach at all.

When a storm comes down, if it is not handled properly, the entire fleet may be destroyed. Fortunately, the fleet is not bad luck, and with so many skilled crew members, they know nothing about the situation at sea. Storms can also be avoided in advance.

But even so, excluding the damage caused by sea beasts, there were no less than a dozen ships that sank along the way due to the weather alone.

Fortunately, there are a large number of ships in the fleet. Even if a ship sinks, people and materials can be transferred to other ships in a timely manner. Especially when taking Manyo to sea, the Southern Cross fleet avoided quite a lot of weird weather and rain Clouds, and even found the weakness of the thunderstorm, reducing the damage caused by crossing the thunderstorm.

Therefore, there were almost a hundred ships in the fleet, but when they entered the open waters of Liyue Port, there were only more than ninety ships left.

Looking over, there is also a large area where the end cannot be seen clearly.

It is indeed Liyue's most powerful Southern Cross fleet.

Looking at the fleet that came into sight, Jiang Zhou, the dock manager, put down the binoculars in his hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Others don't know, but she knows all too well that almost all of the hundreds of ships loaded are purchased by Inazuma, fireworks prepared for the Sea Lantern Festival, and trophies captured in sea battles.

Every time the Southern Cross fleet would bring back a large amount of gold, silver, jade and jewelry, such a wealth, even for Liyue today, it was an astonishing amount of property.

Most of Liyue's tax revenue is from Liyue merchants who travel around and do business, and another big taxpayer is Beidou's Southern Cross Fleet. Hunting orders, the Southern Cross is the only fleet that can legally enter Daozhuan for business.

It can be seen the importance of this fleet.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Zhou turned sideways slightly, led the elite of the Qianyan Army, and dispersed the residents of Liyue who were watching the excitement near the pier, making way for the fleet to carry goods.

Then Beidou stood on the deck and steered the helm, looked at the port with some expectation, grinned and waved to Jiang Zhou.

The bustling crowd was like a flowing tide, and the workers who had just had a drink with Famas also ran to the pier to watch the Southern Cross fleet enter the port.

Every time the Southern Cross fleet enters and exits the port, there are quite a lot of workers needed to unload and repair the ships. Most of the carpenters and shipwrights will rely on this daily maintenance to earn enough living expenses. If they encounter the Southern Cross fleet, they will be rich. , and there are extra rewards, so many dock workers like to serve the Southern Cross fleet.

"It's so lively! Famas, why don't we go and have a look?"

The open-air stall was empty, and Wendy put her hand over the back of Farmas' hand by the stool.

Fingers crossed.

"Would you like to see it? Let's go."

Famas put the earthenware bowl on the table, held Wendy's hand and squeezed into the dense crowd.

At this moment, cargo and many boxes began to be continuously unloaded from the Death Star, and the sea beast defeated by the Southern Cross fleet was also broken down into many materials and packed in crates.

These lifted boxes were quickly loaded onto the already prepared carriage and sent to the warehouse in Liyue Port. Xiao Zhao from the General Affairs Department was in charge of counting and checking.

Dozens of trucks were filled in no time, but this was only less than one-tenth of the cargo unloaded.

In response to this situation, the General Affairs Department had already made preparations. Dozens of horse-drawn carriages had just transported a batch of goods, and immediately another dozen or so horse-drawn carriages filled them up. Thousands of Qianyan troops were dispatched to escort the goods to the port warehouse safely. .

When the last box was unloaded from the ship, it was already dark, but the lights in the port were bright.

Jiang Zhou, who has been guarding the pier and watching the boxes registered and registered, is relieved.

Although some colleagues at the dock wanted to invite Jiang Zhou to rest first, and just leave this place to them, but Jiang Zhou stayed here every step of the way.

No one knows the value of every box here better than her. Since Lord Ningguang and the General Affairs Department have sent her to deal with this matter, then she must ensure that this fortune will not be lost when it is in her hands. trouble.

You must know that once someone wants to make a move, a few boxes will probably be worth hundreds of thousands of moras.

Not only Jiang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Zhao, who had been accompanying Jiang Zhou to check the goods, and Lin Ling, who checked the list, also calmed down from fear.

Dijun had just been assassinated, and the assassins failed to catch him. It is not yet known whether the Sea Lantern Festival will be held as scheduled, but if something goes wrong with these custom-made fireworks, the General Affairs Department will be really ashamed.

As night falls, the Liyue Port is very lively. The streets are brightly lit, and the bustling crowd is crowded in the port, shuttling in and out of it. The bright and clear full moon is like a round mirror, slowly shedding soft brilliance, covering Liyue Port with a bright light. Layers of silvery light.

"It's a completely different view from Mond..."

Wendy clasped Famas's hand back, her little hand was tightly grasped, and her tone became inexplicably sad.
