Chapter 270 Secrets and the Golden State

Early morning.

Alwin enjoys a sumptuous breakfast of specialties alone in an upscale restaurant in the city of Nisk.

A plate of toast with tomato, two fried sausages, a pear cheesecake, beef cheese scones with shredded olives, and a glass of milk, known locally as macchiato coffee.

He looked up from time to time to admire the scenery and tourists outside the window, while the other hand was still unconsciously playing with the family-heirloom “golden compass”.

Although it was directly trapped in the previous dangerous situation, this “golden compass”, which claims to be able to guide the most feasible way of life for the ship in any dangerous situation, did not work. No effect at all.

But it doesn’t prevent Alwin from wanting to further explore the secret idea behind it in his spare time, and he will take it out and observe it in various scenes from time to time.

Of course, nothing has been found so far.

After returning home this time, the “Cape Storm” reported the experience of encountering the “Black Dike” and a large group of otherworldly lizards at sea.

Although the probability of encountering this kind of supernatural disaster in a row is extremely small, in this critical period of responding to the possible attack of the “Octopus Ghost”, the garrison commander Major General Coverdale Dulu also turned a blind eye.

Temporarily mobilized four ships of five and Level 6 from the nearby naval base to join the cruise mission.

The current battleships in the water city of Nisk are formed with two Level 4 battleships, Alwin’s “Storm Cape” and Solomon’s “Imperial Family Guard”, and 12 cruise ships as Auxiliary fleet configuration.

This kind of garrison scale is already extremely luxurious for coastal defense!

After all, even if it is the third largest military port of Pharretis, “Gabride”, with the warships that have been repaired and returned to the port, the highest-level defense configuration is merely this.

The sea has never been the focus of the high-level defense plan. After that, with the increase of ships, the cruising tasks of Alwin and “Cape Storm” have also become a lot easier.

At the same time, I have more time to do my own thing.

For example: the contract between the “Wild Amulet” and the little lizard “ka ka” that has been completely completed.

It’s just that Bass, who has always been the number one pet under Alwin’s seat, finds that there is suddenly a job seeker, and he is a little unhappy.

Thinking of “ka ka”, Alwin cut half a fried sausage from a plate and placed it in the shadow under his feet. A dark mouth suddenly popped out and swallowed the sausage, the shadow squirmed slightly, and returned to normal after a while.

After the contract, in order to cultivate intimacy, Alwin directly raised “ka ka” in his shadow. [Shadow Transformation] This skill is used for “ka ka” who is a “shadow lizard”. It’s as simple as breathing and eating.

After feeding, the moment he raised his waist again, Alwin’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Through the glass of the dining room, I just saw the outside, a beautiful girl wearing a warm yellow dress with a clip on her back, gracefully walked past her.

Can’t help it, a beautiful name has blurted out:

“Miss Venia!”

“en? It’s Mr. Alwin!”

The beautiful girl wearing a gauze hat turned around, a look of surprise flashed on her face, and looked at the young man in a white shirt through the window, her pink lips curved and her eyes filled with a smile:

“What a coincidence! I was just thinking about going out to sketch today, will I meet Mr. Alwin again.”

Alwin was impressed by the girl, and also smiled and said:

“Hahaha, I’m also surprised, Miss Veniya has breakfast? If you don’t mind, please come in and sit together.”

Other guests in the restaurant heard The two of them were about to frown because of the undisguised chatter they started out because of the unexpected surprise.

I saw a beautiful girl like an elf who had pushed in the door and a handsome young man who had stood up and greeted the beautiful lady very gentlemanly.

The two young men and women with excellent appearance and temperament, even called extraordinary and refined, let the grievances slightly raised in their hearts immediately disappeared.

oh! This is the reality of this beautiful society!

“Waiter!”

Alwin called the waiter thoughtfully and served a breakfast for Vinia.

Strawberry cake, creme brulee and a glass of hot milk.

“Thank you!”

The girl thanked Alwin very ladylike and took a graceful sip of the warm milk.

“You’re welcome, please use it.”

The two chatted while eating. Last time, Alwin was very concerned about the background and experience of this seemingly good girl. Curious, I can no longer restrain the surging thirst for knowledge at this time:

“Miss Venia, last time you said that you have traveled to many places in the continent, can you tell me about your special experience? And last time you promised to tell me where your hometown is.”

The girl forked a piece of strawberry cake and put it in her mouth, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, obviously the sweet and soft taste of the pastry made the She is very satisfied.

Well, beautiful people are so pleasing even to eat.

“Well, how can I put it, my hometown is a place where even this kind of fine food is rarely seen.

I keep traveling the continent for two purposes.

The first one is to learn the best knowledge from various countries and bring it back to my hometown to help the hardworking and wise people there.”

hearing this, Alwin Heartfelt admiration:

“Miss Venia, you are such a great person. As a pioneer in spreading the flame of civilization, the people of your hometown will definitely thank you for everything you have done for them.

And I have a suggestion. After all, a person’s energy is limited. Your country can send a group of students to study in each country’s Academy every year. I think if the price is right, countries will not mind the outflow of basic knowledge. .”

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled:

“Hehe, this is what I should do, and I will consider your suggestion.

As for, Another purpose of my travel to the continent.

I want to find the most fundamental reason why the civilization is so strong that it can fully colonize the known exploration territories of the Southern Continent, the easternmost Peacock Islands, and the new continent. “

Said, Venia’s beautiful eyes stared at Alwin, with a trace of aloof and remote hidden in her solemnity, she said with some appreciation:

“Mr. Alwin, I want to thank you, I think what you said last time was exactly the answer I was looking for.

Even your words are long recorded in the history of the old continent.

The ancestors of the blond races of the old continent, the Nimmensters, were nothing more than barbarians living in the bitter cold before long ago.

It was only that they defeated that with brute force Only the “civilized” people of the Holy Lothar Empire of the era have become the masters of this era, and they have slowly developed and grown to this day.”

“Ah, this, you have already thanked you last time.

p>

Everyone’s understanding is different, what I said is just my opinion, not necessarily correct.

It would be great if it could help you.”

Alwin took a sip of his macchiato, and didn’t feel that he was worthy of the girl’s repeated thanks. However, she was a little surprised by the rise of the Nimster race in her mouth. This kind of history is something that even the wizard himself has not had the chance to understand.

In my heart, I became more curious about the girl’s origin.

“As a thank you gift, I will tell you an unforgettable and meaningful experience I had and where my hometown is.”

The girl said, While glancing at the “Golden Compass” that Alwin had placed on the dining table, he continued:

“It may be very useful to you!”

Keenly noticed the girl’s gaze, Alwin’s eyes twitched for a moment, and his voice was raised unconsciously:

“You know this compass?!”

This glance has linked all the doubts in Alwin’s heart before. At the same time, Wei Wei said with some caution:

“Yes, you also said that you are from the other side of the sea, and the mysterious person who did a deal with the Garriott family also claimed to be from the other side of the sea.

Isn’t that the Southern Continent, not the new continent, but

the legendary ‘Golden Kingdom’ where no one has ever reached?!”

Facing Alwin A series of questions, the girl did not rush to answer him.

I just glanced at him lightly, the pressure in it made Alwin, who almost jumped up, froze, realizing that this Venia was not simple, and didn’t dare to act rashly.

As if not noticing the sudden change in his face, he slowly continued to taste the crème brûlée in front of him, and then spoke again:

“Mr. Alwin, you guessed right. .

My hometown is the legendary ‘Golden Country’ that is full of gold. However, it is not that no one has ever arrived. Do you want to know where it is?”

“This”

Alwin was at a loss for words. He only knew the other side of the sea, but there were too many other shores for the old continent.

Don’t say he is a trifling wizard apprentice, even the most knowledgeable scholar in this world knows the name “Golden State” from legends, and one of its most famous and controversial legends – Gold everywhere!

If you find the “Golden Kingdom”, you can easily get gold to buy several kingdoms.

There are still many such magical legends about that magical country, and it is impossible to tell the source of it, and it is not even sure whether it is just made up by the communicator.

However, even though the age of great voyages has been opened for two hundred years, no scholar or adventurer has claimed to have ever been there! Everything about it is a mystery to humans!

“Let’s start with the experience that meant so much to me.

In fact, we were among the adventurers at the beginning of the old continent’s voyages. Legends of the ‘Golden State’ are circulating.

But like I said, it’s not that no one has ever gotten there.

In fact five years ago, the old continent’s The first human adventurer landed on the territory of the ‘Golden State’!

And I just received him.”

When she really started to tell him about it, Venia didn’t hang anymore Alwin’s appetite didn’t need him to ask, and he told the story of the “Golden Country”:

“At that time, in fact, we had not walked out of the “Golden Country” for nearly a hundred years.

Their arrival made us finally realize that the pace of human exploration is faster than we thought, but in about 200 years, we have overcome all kinds of treacherousness and terror in the sea, and have come to us. beside them.

Even if they were just pioneers, a special case of human beings

The adventurer and his wife told us a lot about the changes in the outer world, the map of human exploration , the latest technological inventions, the vast territory that has been colonized, and the major events that have occurred in the past century

Let us finally realize that the outer world has undergone changes of Heaven and Earth turning upside down.

p>

Therefore, there is my journey.”
