Chapter 429: Going to Sea
Hanhai City is close to the sea, and there is a faint salty smell in the air.
Walking on the streets of Hanhai City, Ye Chen discovered that Hanhai City, which integrated commerce and maritime shipping, was not as large as Tiandou City, but in terms of prosperity, it was not inferior to Tiandou City.
Perhaps the ocean shipping industry in Douluo Continent is far behind the modern society of Ye Chen's previous life, but there is still an ocean shipping industry in the coastal areas.
After all, in coastal areas, although sea spirit beasts can also appear, the weather is basically not that high.
The internal space of the storage soul guide is limited, and the cost of ocean shipping is much lower than the cost of land transportation. It has huge profits. Even if there are sea soul beasts in the sea, many businessmen still flock to it.
It is precisely because of the good business atmosphere that Hanhai City looks very prosperous.
Before arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man with a slightly funny appearance and a crooked mouth walked towards him on the street, but he could be liked at a glance. Behind this middle-aged man, there were many guards.
"The Lord of Hanhai City, Huang Bo, welcomes Your Majesty to Hanhai City!"
Huang Bo, the lord of Hanhai City, said respectfully to Ye Chen.
"Ah."
Ye Chen nodded.
"Your Majesty, several ladies have already hosted a banquet in the city lord's palace. Please appreciate it!"
"Since the city lord entertained me so warmly, I'm just nagging!"
After looking at Huang Bo with a respectful look on his face, Ye Chen was secretly satisfied.
Huang Bo happened to have something to do, and it was already noon, so Ye Chen didn't refuse.
......
Hanhai City, City Lord's Mansion.
Under the hospitality of the city lord Huang Bo, Ye Chen and the four of them had a delicious seafood dinner.
In Hanhai City, there may not be other things, but seafood is plentiful!
Find a boat, find a few sailors, cast a few nets on the sea, and don't get too much.
Of course, if what you catch is a sea soul beast that you can't defeat on your own, that's another story.
"City Master Huang, I wonder if you can do me a little favor?"
After eating and drinking, Ye Chen didn't argue with Huang Bo and directly explained his purpose.
"Your majesty, please speak your mind, and I will definitely do as you are told!"
Ye Chen was not only a titled Douluo, he was also a Duke of the Tiandou Empire, and his title was higher than that of the Earl Huang Bo. In light of this, Huang Bo was willing to help as long as it was within his ability.
"It's like this. We are going to go to sea. City Lord Huang, please help me contact the ships and sailors. I have urgent needs!"
'Ships and sailors? ’
Huang Bo was stunned, but he didn't expect that Ye Chen's so-called small favor was really just a small favor.
That's right, he is a Titled Douluo, and he is just a seven-ring soul saint. If he is really busy, he will not be of use.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I'll have someone contact you right now."
Huang Bo responded directly.
"Thank you, City Lord!"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite, this is what you should do!"
......
More than two hours later, at the port of Hanhai City, Ye Chen and Xiao Wu boarded a large ship that was more than a hundred meters long.
Perhaps in the modern society of Ye Chen's previous life, a ship with a length of 100 meters could only be regarded as a small ship, but in Douluo Continent of this era, a ship with a length of more than 100 meters is already considered a big ship.
"Your Majesty, this is Oruf, the captain of the Oruf. I wonder where your destination is when you go to sea?"
After boarding the ship, Captain Oluf asked Ye Chen.
"There is no exact destination. Keep heading west. After entering the open sea, the sailing direction is up to you, as long as you can find a sea route back!"
Generally speaking, 100,000-year-old sea soul beasts basically do not appear in offshore waters, and can only be found deep into the sea.
Ye Chen didn't want to waste any more time, so he just went directly into the distant sea to search.
"Well, Your Majesty, if we go deep into the sea, we may encounter powerful sea soul beasts. We may even encounter the legendary 100,000-year-old sea soul beast..."
Captain Oluf hesitated.
As a captain, he is very aware of the dangers of the sea.
If you go deep into the sea, if you are unlucky, it is not surprising to encounter a hundred thousand year sea soul beast.
As far as he knew, there were very few titled Douluo on the mainland who could rival a hundred thousand year land soul beast.
The sea soul beast occupies an advantageous position in the sea, and in the same year, its strength is better than that of the land soul beast. Is this young titled Douluo the opponent of the 100,000-year-old sea soul beast?
If the hundred-thousand-year-old sea soul beast cannot be fought off, perhaps this His Majesty can escape, but he, the flightless captain, and the sailors on the ship will never be able to escape.
"Don't worry, I went out to sea to hunt the hundred thousand year sea soul beasts. You only need to be responsible for driving the ship! If there are sea soul beasts attacking the ship, I will take action to deal with it."
Ye Chen said to Captain Oluf.
"It's... alright!"
When the words came to this point, Oruf had no choice but to nod in agreement.
After all, this young Titled Douluo may not be the opponent of a hundred thousand year sea soul beast, but he Oruf is not a hundred thousand year sea soul beast. He is just a sixth-ringed soul emperor, and he has no capital to tell the titled Douluo Not a word.
......
In the vast sea, except for the scattered islands, there is no reference at all.
However, experienced captains and sailors can judge the general direction through the rising positions of the sun and moon in different seasons.
It had been ten days since the Oruf left the port of Hanhai City, and Ye Chen and the other two seemed a little bored on the ship.
On the day they went out to sea, Xiao Wu and the other two people were in a very good mood after seeing the sea for the first time.
But after drifting on the sea for ten days, seeing the same dark blue water everywhere, no matter how high the interest was, it was wiped out.
Well, you can tell just by looking at the bunny ears hanging down from Xiao Wu’s head.
"Xiao Wu, Rongrong, Zhuqing, dinner is ready!"
Near noon, after cooking up some grilled fish, Ye Chen invited the three of them to eat.
"Brother, why is it a fish again?"
Looking at the delicious grilled fish on the table, Xiao Wu didn't have the slightest appetite. She was tired of eating fish every day!
"Huh? Xiao Wu, isn't the grilled fish I made delicious?"
“Not tasty at all!”
Xiao Wu kept a straight face and shook her head seriously.
"Not delicious? Zhuqing, what do you think?"
Ye Chen turned to Zhu Zhuqing and asked.
Among the four, the one who likes eating fish the most is Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, the big cat’s martial soul is a cat, but doesn’t it just like to eat fish?
"That's fine... Well, I won't comment!"
Originally, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to praise Ye Chen's grilled fish, but after seeing the 'vicious' looks from Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, he immediately changed his mind.
In order to maintain the friendship between the little sisters, Zhu Zhuqing felt that it was better for her not to express her opinions.
Immediately, Zhu Zhuqing received two "I guess you know your appearance" looks.
