Chapter 103 Sailing
After Nan Fudo calmed down and wiped his face and hands with a towel, he walked to Henry, who was talking to the captain, and bowed a big gift. “Thank you very much for avenging my sister today. If you need anything in the future, You can come to the wharf area to find me. I have to go back to report the letter, and Daeen will not say thank you, so I will leave today.” After speaking, he walked off the bow and left without looking back.
The captain looked at the back of the dwarf. “Congratulations, Nan Fu Duo is a good hand in search of news. If you want to get any information in the future, you just need to find him within a week, and the results will be available. Now we should also set off, otherwise we will encounter these heart-devil again The comrades are in trouble.” He shouted loudly as the sailors pulled up the anchor, hung up the sails, and slowly left the port.
After leaving the port, the sailors threw the ground meat on the deck into the sea, and then scrubbed the blood stains on it with large buckets of sea water. The captain and the navigator confirmed the voyage and came to Henry’s side. “We are now going to sail north for a while, and then we can go south after bypassing the detection area of Deepwater City.”
The orc warrior scratched his head and asked, “Why? Wouldn’t it be a waste of many days to go northward in a big circle?”
Henry looked at each other with the captain and laughed. He explained to Vaughan: “Because we are on a smuggling boat now, if they take the normal route, they will be stopped by the patrol boat waiting outside. Most smuggling boats Will deliberately take some long routes to avoid these local inspection teams. Smuggling this industry is not as simple as you think.”
The captain helped his hat crooked by the sea breeze. “That’s right, you are really a smart person. We have had many contests with the patrol boats in Deepwater City, and they usually ended in their failures. Because our boats are being rebuilt faster, usually without In the case of the caster, they can’t catch up.”
“Why don’t the lords equip the ships with wizards? I remember that there is a tower of order in Deepwater City, and there should be many wizards and sorcerers in it.” Debra asked suspiciously.
“Haha, occasionally there will be spellcasters equipped on patrol boats. But those mages and warlocks usually don’t stay for too long. If you encounter them, you will consider yourself unlucky. Don’t think that the Tower of Order allows them to fully obey orders. It is the limit to transfer a few people to stay on the boat for one day at a time.” The captain laughed and explained the mystery.
Henry nodded in agreement. “Debra, you haven’t understood the essential difference between the Arcane Brotherhood and the Tower of Order. Although the Tower of Order forces all the mages and sorcerers in Deepwater City to join in before they can conduct magic research in the city, it is essentially In order to ensure that the study of spells will not disrupt the normal lives of ordinary citizens. But the Arcane Brotherhood is completely different. They emphasize the internal hierarchy, where high-level members can command and control low-level members.”
“I understand, that is to say, the Tower of Order in Deep Water City can only restrict the behavior of internal members, but if you want to force them to do something, it won’t work.” The female mage looked at Henry suddenly and said.
Henry looked at the calm sea in the distance. “This is the reason why most cities on the west coast will form alliances with Deepwater City and Neverwinter City, because these good-natured forces will not take advantage of the decline of their allies. But Luskan’s approach is just the opposite. They will try to infiltrate. , Control or even completely occupy.”
The orc warrior sighed. “I don’t think anyone will like his back. There is a dagger that can be stabbed at any time.”
Dai Lina re-wrapped herself in a cloak tightly. “That’s not necessarily true. The demons of **** enjoy the pleasure of these conspiracies behind them. They are constantly dealing with their bosses, and colleagues must always pay attention to their subordinates. The first-tier lord Zariel, It was because he didn’t pay attention to his back that he was replaced by Bayer. Of course, the dark elves in the dark regions are not bad, and their family wars are also in this form.”
Henry rubbed his brow when he heard it. “Please do not associate these extremely evil creatures with humans on the surface. There is an essential difference between the two. Most people still yearn for a peaceful and orderly social environment. Of course, a few people love the tension and excitement you mentioned. Life. After you live on the surface for a period of time, you will gradually understand these things.” Now he is really a little worried that the Tifulin girl will not be able to adapt to the surface well. It seems that someone has to take her to live for a while. Just work.
The captain looked at the direction of the port and was relieved after confirming that there were no ships tracking. “Now you all go to the cabin for a rest. At the current speed, we will need at least fifteen days to arrive. Moreover, the sea breeze at night is particularly cool. If it blows for too long, you will get sick.”
Henry accepted the captain’s kindness with a smile, and took the other three people into their respective cabins, lay down and began to sleep. After seeing everyone around him asleep, he quietly turned on the system.
You have completed the mission released by Kelben: Rescue the Black Robe of Helast. Earn 200,000 experience points.
Occupation: Mage 11 level 662363/750000, Druid 12 level 66236/750000
Debra Monka
Occupation: Mage (protection department) level 10, experience 345500/375000
After deducting 200,000 mission experience rewards, the average experience of the three Mind Reavers is actually as much as 9,000. If there is no amulet of the mental barrier, I am afraid that the battle just now will become very tricky, and at least my casting will be interrupted by the psychic explosion. It’s a pity that when the mad mage slaughtered the dark elves, he was not in a friendly state, otherwise the combined experience would be enough for him to rise to several levels. But it’s better not to be greedy, because it was lucky if you didn’t die in the hands of Helast’s black robe. After comforting himself, Henry fell asleep in the hammock.
Gray Parrot faced the sea breeze at night, and quietly bypassed the patrol boat outside Deepwater City under the cover of night. It was not until the latter half of the night that the ship entered the deep sea. Seeing that everything was fine, the captain and sailors were also relieved. After handing everything over to the experienced chief mate, the captain dragged his exhausted body back to his room and began to sleep. Tonight was a heart-cracker again, and it was the patrol boat that made his nerves very nervous.
The sailing for the next ten days went very smoothly, and the sailors were also very honest. They were afraid of the mighty power of Henry and his party and did not dare to harass the two women in any way. Henry stood on the deck and felt that the speed of the ship was getting slower and slower. After a while, the sailors began to follow the ropes to the mast and wind up the sails. He questioned the chief mate who was directing the sailors to work in a puzzled way: “Why are the ships stopping? Is there any danger ahead?”
The chief officer explained with a smile: “There is still a short voyage ahead of the Angome Islands. We are a smuggling ship. We have to send a small boat to contact the local thieves’ union. Otherwise, we will be impounded if we drive over like this. Yes, especially our goods are still slaves.”
Henry nodded. “In that case, let’s go ashore with the boat. I don’t want to wait until it gets dark.”
The captain heard the conversation between the two and walked over. “No, according to the rules of smuggling ships carrying passengers, you must wait until the transaction is over before you can go ashore.”
“Why, can’t we get off the boat when we get to the place?” The orc warrior who hadn’t turned the corner frowned and asked.
Debra sighed. “They are afraid that if we go ashore early, there will be a leak. Many thieves’ unions and smugglers have similar rules.”
Henry considered that it was a slave purchased by Robert, so he agreed to the captain’s request. “Since it is the rule, then we will wait until the transaction is over before leaving. Can you complete the transaction tonight?”
“Thank you for your understanding. We must know that we are doing a dangerous business after all. If we are not careful, we would have been arrested long ago. I will send someone to negotiate with the local trade union and ask them to send someone to pick up the goods as soon as possible. In the event of an accident, the transaction will be completed tonight.” The captain said after a salute.
It didn’t take long for the ship to completely stop and drop its anchor. A small boat was lowered, and the two sailors and the chief mate were rowing vigorously towards the city of Bluevent. Debra returned to the cabin to continue studying the Mad Mage’s notes. Vaughan lay bored on the deck and fell asleep, while Dai Lina curiously climbed up the mast to tease the seabirds that fell on it Henry now wants to return to his home with flying skills very much. Although he has not been away for a long time this time, his tight nerves for a long time still make him very tired.
In the evening, the first officer returned with two sailors. As soon as he got on the deck, he took out a piece of parchment and said to the captain: “They said the deal tonight will be on the small island in the north. There is a natural Shenzhen harbor. , You can stop our boat.”
The captain opened the chart and looked at it. “This small island is about an hour’s voyage away from us. Now let the sailors take action. Let’s drive the ship first.” After speaking, he turned his head and said to Henry: “After the transaction is completed tonight I will leave you a small boat, and then the Grey Parrot will return directly.”
Henry waved his hand. “No, we have a way to go back. If it weren’t for fear of affecting your trading, I would have used spells to fly away.”
The captain smiled apologetically. “I’m really sorry, if you need anything in the future, you can come to Skull Harbor directly to find me. We can get it whether it is precious magic materials or rare mineral metals. Of course, if you need special slaves, it’s okay.” Then the commander’s ship set off toward the island on the chart, and sailed into the harbor before it got dark.
Henry looked at the island and exclaimed that this is really a good place for smugglers to trade, especially the towering peaks on both sides, which almost blocked all investigations in the direction of Bluevent City.
