Chapter 29: Before the Titan Poseidon sails (middle)
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 immerse himself in this blue world. To be honest, what happened recently has really made him exhausted, and he has reached the moment when he needs to relax.
Aiya, 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 text in the book writes about the sea, it is not as good as what she saw with her own eyes this time.
"Master, it's so beautiful!" Aiya took off her veil, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, her soft purple long hair was constantly fluttering in the air. Unlike usual, there was a lonely look on her face at this time, and her body could not help but leaned towards Ulysses.
"Yes! Whenever something very troublesome in my mind, I will come here to watch the sea." Because there is no one around here, Ulysses has no opinion on Aya's veil.
On the white sand beach blown by the slightly salty sea breeze, Ulysses and Aya leaned on each other in this way, watching the waves shining in the golden sun wash the white sand beach in front of them. The beach washed by the waves will leave a line of white foam, but it will be washed away by the waves immediately.
Under the golden sunlight, the two people cuddling with each other unexpectedly make people feel very harmonious, just like a beautiful painting.
"Did you know! Aya, I got the book of the devil by guessing in a camp there!" Ulysses broke the silence between the two first.
"What!" Aiya was startled and woke up from the daze. She has made many assumptions about how Ulysses got the Book of the Devil. For example, it was obtained from a bookshelf that no one looked at in a library, or found in a tomb in an ancient period, or even inherited by a dying peerless expert...Various She had thought about the possibility, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think that Ulysses could be obtained by guessing.
Who will be that puzzler? There was a big question mark in Aiya's heart. She has been sleeping in the Book of Demon Kings and doesn'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 is somewhat like a ship. It is said to be "somewhat like a ship" because its outline is roughly the shape of a ship, and it also sails on the water like a ship. But its shape is too far from what Ulysses knew of the ship.
First, the sails that almost all ships have are not on this object; second, there is no such object as the power of all ships; third, the size of this object is far larger than Ulysses knows. The part of any ship exposed to the surface of the sea is probably more than ten meters high; fourth, its shell is actually made of steel.
"Aya! Let's see what that thing is. It seems to be stopping at the port of Taguig 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 very curious about this object, and after putting on the veil, she followed Ulysses to the port.
Ulysses guessed right, the unknown object did stop in the harbor. But to his surprise, the object was indeed a ship. It was learned from the merchants in the port that this was a giant magic ship that had just been developed by the Wizards’ Guild. Its name is "Titan Poseidon", it is the world's first steel giant ship, and is currently the largest ship on the mainland.
Upon closer inspection, Ulysses discovered that this huge ship was much larger than he had imagined. According to his visual observations, the length of this huge ship was about three hundred meters and the width was about three to four. About ten meters, the height is not clear because most of the ship is underwater, but the height above the water surface is more than twenty meters. It is a living miracle that such a behemoth made of steel can sail smoothly on the water. What technology did the Wizards Guild use to make such a big iron block float on the water? Ulysses couldn't guess even if he tried to break his head.
"Ah! What a fun thing! Master, can we go to play on it?" Aiya was extremely excited when she looked at this behemoth.
"I'm afraid not. Generally speaking, this kind of ship will not allow ordinary people to go on board." Ulysses sighed. In fact, not only Aiya, but even he himself wanted to see it.
"How can you know if you don't ask about this kind of thing! I'll ask." Aya was obviously dissatisfied with Ulysses' answer, and went to the ship by herself.
Ulysses did not care about Aya, anyway, she would definitely get an answer that disappointed her, and continued to appreciate the crystallization of this human magic. To his surprise, Aiya came back quickly, and her face didn't look disappointed.
"Master, I asked. That ship is just a trial voyage today, and it will make a public voyage to test its performance in three days. Moreover, you can participate as long as you pay three thousand gold coins! I have already bought the ticket for you. Let's go up and play together at time" Aya's voice was indescribably cheerful.
"Really!" Ulysses couldn't believe his ears, and unconsciously looked at Aya with a puzzled look. Generally speaking, even if this ship can be boarded by ordinary people, the first passengers should be those nobles and businessmen. How did Aiya get the ticket?
"Of course, you see this is the ticket!" Aya was vacant under Ulysses' gaze, and quickly handed the ticket over. In fact, she bought a ticket on a crew member with a charm technique. In that crew member's memory, she would only remember that a nobleman bought a ticket.
Ulysses took a closer look, and didn't find any problems on 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' mood improved incredibly. After all, he is still very young, it is impossible to always be in a depressed mood. Now, he temporarily put aside his future affairs, and began to look forward to the voyage three days later that would be enough to be recorded in human history.
"Yes, Master." Seeing Ulysses regained her spirit, Aya was happier than anyone else, and she hugged Ulysses's left arm tightly, maintaining this state with Ulysses. Back home.
