White Dragon Lord
Chapter 252: The journey of the second son of the Viscount (middle)
Early the next morning.
The eastern sky just revealed the white fish belly, and there was still a little water remaining on the wooden deck of the Seawolf that was breaking through the waves. Edie Campbell put his hands on the belly-high side of the ship, his eyes squinted slightly, and he breathed freely with moisture. The air is pleasant to enjoy the blowing of the sea breeze.
Eddie let out a sigh of relief.
The weather on the sea is changing. Last night, a sudden heavy rain and wind and waves made everyone on the boat experience what is called the bad temper of the sea. The bumpy boat made many people vomit.
Among them was Edie's businessman friend. Poor Milne had already vomited and was now lying in a hammock like a dead dog.
As a 7th-level intermediate warrior, Yidi is much stronger than ordinary people. The turbulence caused by wind and waves did not affect him much, but the terrifying smell from the vomit still made this noble young master miserable. , Which is why Edie came to the deck early in the morning.
Not only Edie, but many people couldn't bear the odor, and got up early to let the wind on the deck.
The sailors on the Seawolf got up earlier than the windy passengers. They, or "they", under the command of the murloc, raised their sails and wiped the water on the wooden deck.
The surface of these dense oak decks is coated with a layer of resin, which has a strong waterproof function. The accumulated water on the surface cannot penetrate, so it needs to be wiped manually.
"Hey, sir, please move a place."
The lingua franca with a strange accent was passed into Edie’s ears. Edie turned her head when she heard the sound and saw a black-scaled murloc holding a rag standing behind him. This was an employee on the ship.
Edie nodded and smiled at the murloc and walked to the place that had been cleaned up. After a brief time with yesterday, Edie could no longer treat the monsters of these overseas islands as ordinary monsters.
Except for their appearance, the monsters in these overseas islands are no different from humans.
Not only Edie, but also the feelings of most passengers on the ship.
In fact, Edie thinks that the monsters on these ships are better than most civilians in Red River City. This is an indescribable feeling. Edie feels that these monsters are full of energy, as if they are full of energy in everything.
You know, although Nordhill is a very powerful plane and the magic civilization is developed, these precious resources are in the hands of the ruling class represented by the nobility. The common people did not enjoy the convenience brought by magic, so that the common people His life is like medieval Europe, mental numbness has become a norm.
And these savage and backward monsters can maintain a good mental outlook, which surprised Edie, and at the same time felt very curious.
"Hey, Murloc, can we talk?"
The busy black-scaled murloc continued to work on his hands, turning his head to look at the questioning human.
"Of course, guests from afar, and my name is Keim Undercurrent."
"Hello, Cam, can you tell me about your hometown?"
To find opportunities in an unfamiliar environment, you must first understand the environment, and the most effective and cheapest way to understand the environment is to ask a local person.
Speaking of his hometown, Keim paused his movements and spoke proudly.
"My hometown is on Rage Tide Island. There is the site of our Undertide Clan. That's right! It's the site! That's the reward given to us by the Lord White Dragon Lord of the Undertide Clan. You may not know that our Undertide Clan was the first one. A group of murlocs following Lord White Dragon..."
Edie patiently listened to the murloc's glorious history of the Undertide clan, but what he wanted to know most was not the history, but the current situation of the overseas islands.
"The Dark Tide Clan is really an amazing clan. Since the Raging Tide Island was bestowed by Lord White Dragon, does the Dark Tide Clan have any privileges?"
Hearing human compliments, Keim was very happy.
"Privileges? Of course! The taxes on Rage Tide Island only need to be turned over 70% to the White Castle, and the remaining 30% is reserved by the Dark Tide Clan, and they are used where they are needed, such as repairing the incubation pool and building more schools... ...."
Edie was taken aback when he heard the school.
"School?! Undertide clan still build school?"
"Of course! About fifty years ago, Lord White Dragon personally issued an order that every gathering place must have a school, and every underage murloc must go to school to learn until he masters the basic writing and Some common sense of the islands."
Keim looked at the dumbfounded human and shrugged.
"Of course, the teachers in these junior schools can only teach the elementary knowledge. In addition, some schools can also teach advanced knowledge such as magic and martial arts. Such higher schools are not accessible to ordinary murlocs. This requires A certain talent, and money."
"But Lord White Dragon is very kind. It provides us ordinary murlocs with a loan, which only needs to be paid off after graduation. If you can join the official institution of White Castle with excellent grades, you won't have to repay the money."
"I'm working hard to raise money to repay my debts. I forgot to mention that I am a second-level fighter.
After speaking, Keim showed his anger. Edie looked at the weak energy in the murloc's hands and nodded. He didn't expect that the murloc in front of him was still a professional.
Edie quickly glanced at the murloc’s thin arms and legs. The warrior is a profession that relies on the body for food. The murloc’s body is weak. According to his estimation, the real combat effectiveness of the murloc may be similar to that of an ordinary human veteran. .
Of course, it's a different matter if it's in the sea.
"Can you tell me about the academy system in the overseas islands?! I'm very curious."
"Our school here is divided into ordinary schools and Mowu Academy. Ordinary schools can only teach some general knowledge. Mowu Academy is divided into three levels, elementary, intermediate, and advanced."
"The junior Mowu academy is the most, and there are more than 1,000, to say nothing, there are only 56 intermediate Mowu academies, and only five advanced Mowu academies."
"In addition, there are some special academies, such as the Alchemy Academy that specializes in cultivating alchemy talents, the military academy that sends talents to the White Castle army, and the most powerful Sacred Dragon Academy, but Sacred Dragon Academy only deals with absolute geniuses. , And open to the descendants of those who have made great contributions to Baibao."
Keim's tone was full of admiration for the Sacred Dragon Academy, and Edie had been stunned by the blow.
Even in the Kingdom of Horn, a kingdom that has been passed down for thousands of years, there are no more than 30 academies that can teach magic and martial skills, but the overseas archipelago...
The murloc looked at the stunned Edie and smiled. This is not the first human being beaten to doubt his life. He turned and continued his work.
Not long after, Edie woke up and saw the murloc who was already busy, swallowing a mouthful of saliva in his throat.
The savage land in the impression of the Overseas Islands is actually more developed than the Kingdom of Horn, a kingdom that has been established for thousands of years.
Edie finally understood why he saw such a good mental outlook in these monsters. The degree of development of the overseas islands is no less inferior to the powerful countries in the south.
Poorly covered by the news, he and the others thought it was a savage place. Edie laughed at himself and at the same time had more expectations for his journey. He continued to inquire about the news from other people...
After more than an hour, Edie found that several murlocs were gathered together in the bow of the ship. Among them was Keim Undertide. They were discussing something in murloc language.
Then, in the curious eyes of everyone, several murlocs dragged a huge fishing net and jumped directly into the sea from the boat.
Everyone was watching on the side of the ship. At this time, the wind and waves on the sea were not strong. Several murlocs dragged the open fishing net and dived into the sea without a trace. At the same time, the speed of the ship slowed down.
A **** man couldn't help sighing.
"Tsk tusk tusk, it's really convenient. If you want to eat fish, you just drag the fishing net into the sea to get it."
A junior mage wearing a robes rolled his eyes.
"That's as simple as you think. The danger in the sea is no less than that in the forest. Haven't you seen the harpoons on their backs? They are just like our human hunters entering the forest. They are hunting at the risk of their lives."
The kobold sailor said triumphantly.
"What you said is wrong. It is not easy for murlocs to fish in the sea, but there is no need to risk their lives."
Seeing everyone's attention shifted to himself, the Kobold introduced this novel fishing method to everyone.
"Simply speaking, it's not easy. The most difficult step in this fishing method is to find the fish school, and other predators often appear around the fish school."
"It's not difficult to say, the murloc army often cleans up the high-risk and extraordinary creatures in the ocean, so in most cases, our brave murloc sailors will not encounter too tricky predators. If everything goes well, we You can eat fresh seafood at noon."
"It turned out to be like this..."
Everyone suddenly realized.
More than an hour later, the fish people came back with their trophy-a net of swaying marine fish.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the fishing nets were dragged onto the boat by the sailors, and the fish in the nets bounced on the deck.
Edie's eyes were good, and at a glance, he saw the two marine fishes with silver lines in the fishnet, and their pupils shrank.
"Good guy! Silver thread fish!"
Whitebait is a kind of precious marine fish, small in size, up to two feet long. It acts like electricity in the water and has a very delicious taste. They live in the sea about 500 meters below the sea surface, which is extremely difficult for human fishermen to catch. But once one is caught, there is no need to worry for a few years.
Because even in a coastal port city like Victoria Harbour, silver thread fish can be bought for one pound of hardware coins. In an inland city like the Kingdom of Horn, the price is even more than twenty times that because silver thread fish must live in It is extremely difficult to transport in seawater at around zero degrees.
Edie walked quickly to the cabin and told her businessman friend who was lying in the hammock.
Milne heard the words, his tired body immediately poured out infinite strength, excitedly jumped up from the hammock, and ran outside the door. The speed made Edie, a serious mid-level warrior, embarrassed. .
The two squeezed out the crowd of onlookers, just in time to see the murloc taking out the silver thread fish and putting it into a bucket with floating ice.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Milne's eyes. It was clear that these murlocs were acquainted with the goods, and the idea of picking up the leakage would not work.
Edie didn't feel the slightest surprise. After all, schools in the overseas islands weren't opened for nothing. He just wanted to inject vitality into his friends.
At noon, there really was some more delicious food on the boat-delicious seafood.
After eating the delicious seafood, Milne got excited again. It was indeed the right thing to come to the overseas archipelago. There are full of opportunities here. As long as he can find a stable supply channel, he can make a fortune.
The two friends immediately exchanged ideas. Eddie planned to set up his own adventure group to find precious medicinal materials, gems, and hunt for extraordinary creatures, while Milne planned to find a local partner to purchase ships to form his own caravan.
Both felt that their future was full of hope.
Suddenly, an exclamation came from the deck.
"Magic creature!!!"
The faces of the two people in the cabin changed. After the devastating disaster a few years ago, the mainland turned to the demonized creatures.
Later, there was a noisy discussion on the deck. In the discussion, Edie did not hear any fear, and no one fled back to the cabin. The two could not help but feel very confused.
The two walked out of the cabin, found an empty seat on the deck, and saw the crowd watching.
On the sea not far from the ship, a huge tortoise is carrying a blood-red demonized shark on its back~www.readwn.com~Of course, the shark is not too big, and it is dead. A group of murlocs followed the tortoise.
These murlocs are well-equipped and hold spears to deal with large creatures. The spears are shimmering and chilling. Edie even saw a murloc mage with a staff.
It seems that this is the sea cruise team of White Castle.
In the bragging of the Jackal Captain, Edie learned about the existence of the White Castle Marine Patrol Team. These elite murloc teams are responsible for patrolling in the waters of the overseas archipelago, hunting and killing high-level transcendent creatures and demonized beasts. In order to ensure the safety of overseas islands.
After opening routes from major ports to overseas islands, the intensity of the cruise has increased several times.
In the distance, a murloc from the sea cruise team saw everyone on the boat, climbed onto the shark's carcass, waved to everyone enthusiastically, and everyone responded with the same enthusiasm.
...
Two days later in the afternoon.
Edie and Milne stood on the bow of the Sea Wolf, looking excitedly at the huge island on the sea level, or the small continent-Kumlinge.
The emerging city at the mouth of the Xuehui River, Xuetaocheng, is the terminal station of the Seawolf’s voyage, and it is also their place to stay.
As it gets closer and closer to Xuetao City, the color of the sea water under the ship is getting lighter and lighter. From the azure blue at the beginning, it has become transparent and colorless.
Everyone on the Seawolf looked at the neat white houses in Xuetao City, feeling excited.
Clang clang clang!
The bell for disembarkation has been rang, and Edie and Milne, who were already ready, rushed to the newly built pier that still exuded the fragrance of oak, carrying their burdens on their backs.
Under the fiery sunset, the two teenagers rushed towards the city of hope with dreams in their dreams amidst the calls of seagulls.
