Demon King Priest

The endless blue sea and the refreshing smell of waves in the air calmed Ulysses' heart. At this moment, he forgot all his worries and just wanted to be immersed in this blue world. To be honest, what happened recently had really made him exhausted, and he had reached the point when he needed to relax.

Aya, who was on his side, was also attracted by the beauty. In fact, it was the first time she saw the real sea. Before that, she had only seen the description of the sea in the book. But no matter how beautiful the words in the book describe the sea, it was not as good as what she saw with her own eyes.

"Master, it's so beautiful." Aya took off her veil, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, her soft purple long hair was constantly dancing in the air. Unlike usual, there was a lonely look on her face at this time, and her body couldn't help but lean towards Ulysses.

"Yeah. Whenever something really troubles me, I will come here to watch the sea." Since there was no one around here, Ulysses didn't say anything when Aya took off her veil.

On the white sand beach blown by the slightly salty sea breeze, Ulysses and Aya leaned against each other, watching the waves reflecting the golden sunlight wash the white sand beach in front of them. The beach washed by the waves would leave a line of white foam, but it would be washed away by the next wave immediately.

Under the golden sunlight, the two people leaning against each other unexpectedly made people feel very harmonious, just like a beautiful painting.

"Aya, do you know that I got the Book of the Demon King by answering in a camp there." Ulysses broke the silence between the two first.

"What!" Aya was startled, and woke up from the daze. She had made many assumptions about how Ulysses got the Book of the Demon King. For example, he got it from a bookshelf that no one looked at in a library, or found it in a mausoleum in an ancient period, or even inherited it from a dying peerless master… She had thought about all kinds of possibilities, but no matter how she thought about it, she still didn't expect that Ulysses got the book by answering questions.

Who made those questions?? There was a big question mark in Aya's heart. She had been sleeping in the Book of the Demon King and didn't know who owned her before Ulysses.

However, Ulysses did not intend to continue this topic, his eyes were attracted by something not far away.

That thing was somewhat like a ship. Saying that it was "somewhat like a ship" because its outline was roughly the shape of a ship, and it also sailed on the water like a ship. But its shape was too far from what Ulysses knew about the ship.

First, the sails that almost all ships had were not on this thing; second, there were no paddles; third, the size of this thing was far larger than any ship known by Ulysses. The part exposed to the surface of the sea was probably more than ten meters high; fourth, its shell was actually made of steel.

"Aya. Let's see what that thing is, it seems to be stopping at the port of Taji City." Somehow, Ulysses suddenly became interested in this unknown object. He was really curious about what could make such a huge steel object sail on the sea.

"Yes, master!" Aya was also curious about this object, and after putting on the veil, she followed Ulysses to the port.

Ulysses's guess was right. The unknown object did stop in the port. But to his surprise, the object was indeed a ship. He learned from the merchant in the port that this was a magical giant ship that was just developed by the mage guild. Its name was "Titan Poseidon", it was the first steel giant ship in the world, and was currently the largest ship on the continent.

Upon closer inspection, Ulysses discovered that the huge ship was much larger than he had imagined. According to his visual observations, the length of the huge ship was about three meters long, and the width was about three to forty meters wide. The height was not clear because most of the ship was underwater, but the height above the water surface was more than twenty meters. It was a living miracle that such a behemoth made of steel could sail smoothly on the water. What kind of technology did Mage Guild use to make such a big iron block float on the water? Ulysses couldn't figure it out even if he had racked his brain.

"Ah! What a fun thing! Master, can we board it?" Looking at this behemoth, Aya was extremely excited.

"I'm afraid not. Generally speaking, this kind of ship will not let ordinary people go on board." Ulysses sighed. In fact, not only Aya, but also he himself wanted to see it.

"How can you know if you don't ask! I'll ask." Aya was obviously dissatisfied with Ulysses' answer, and walked to the ship alone.

Ulysses ignored Aya, anyway, she would definitely get an answer that disappointed her. To his surprise, Aya came back quickly, and her face didn't look disappointed.

"Master, I asked. That ship is just on trial sailing today, and it will do a public sailing in three days to test its performance. Moreover, you only need to pay three thousand gold coins to participate! I have already bought the ticket for you. We can board the ship three days later." Aya's voice was very cheerful.

"Really?" Ulysses couldn't believe his ears, and unconsciously looked at Aya with a puzzled look. Generally speaking, even if this ship could be used by ordinary people, the first passengers should be those nobles and big merchants. How did Aya get the ticket?

"Of course, you see this is the ticket!" Aya felt a little guilty under Ulysses' gaze, and quickly handed the ticket over. In fact, she bought a ticket from a crew member using seduction magic. In the memory of that crew member, he would only remember that a nobleman bought a ticket.

Ulysses took a closer look and found no problems with the ticket, so he let go of his doubts about Aya.

"Then, let's go home! Three days later, we will board the first huge ship in human history." After this incident, Ulysses's mood improved greatly. After all, he was still very young, it was impossible to always be in a depressed mood. Now, he temporarily put aside his future affairs, and began to look forward to the sail that would be enough to be recorded in human history three days later.

"Yes, Master." Seeing Ulysses regain his energy, Aya was happier than anyone else. She hugged Ulysses's left arm tightly and went home with Ulysses.
