There are not many cabins on the dragon-wrecked battleship, but there is a cabin specially designed for soldiers. When necessary, the dragon-wrecked battleship can also transport more than 600 soldiers. wWw. QuAnBen-XIaoShuo. cOM
This cabin is currently idle, and some of the building materials are piled inside, which are all high-quality wood produced in Metatlin. Since Salin plans to go to Ceylon City, he must at least build a palace. There is no need for things like wood to occupy the space equipment.
Two hundred and eighty-nine people were placed in this cabin. The captain of the merchant ship was taken to the upper cabin, and Truman came to question him.
In Metatrin City, Truman is not an outstanding figure. This is because there are too many strong people there, and a fifth-level great magician will be ignored by everyone.
Under the influence of Salin, Truman also acted very cautiously. He came to visit the captain of the merchant ship, accompanied by twelve ancient warriors, plus twenty soldiers who originally belonged to Salin. These soldiers were holding elven alchemy crossbows, which were hidden in the walls of the cabin.
If an abnormality is found, these twenty crossbow arrows are enough to kill a seventh-level magician.
The captain had already put on clean clothes and was sitting across the table from Truman, feeling a little uneasy. Truman was wearing a gray magic robe. Even if he didn't know much about magicians, he knew that this was someone he couldn't afford to offend. No matter how many magicians there are in the world, to ordinary people, a great magician is a god-like existence.
"Master Mage." The captain said respectfully. His common language was very standard, and every byte was clear. "I am Beilein from the Iron Wall City United Business Association of the Scotia Empire. This time, thank you for your rescue."
It was the first time that Captain Beilein saw a ship that could survive in the storm, and he knew very well that the ship was definitely not a Scotian, and was probably coming from the clouds.
But how did the Yunliu people come here? It is also difficult for Yunliu warships to pass within the confines of Black Prison Island. If they want to go west and come from the deep sea, they have to cross the Sea of Silence. The level of danger there will make any fleet feel desperate.
Beilein certainly would not have thought that someone would cross the North Sea, which is full of floating icebergs, and come here. Moreover, the person in front of him had already destroyed his hometown, Iron Wall City.
But even if he knew that Iron Wall City was finished, nothing would happen to him. A businessman only regards it as a stronghold, not his hometown.
"Iron Wall City United Business Association?" Truman frowned. If he had known he was from Iron Wall City, Salin might not have gone to save him.
"Yes, do you know where it is?"
"Of course I know, Iron Wall City... no longer exists." Truman was too lazy to fool the businessman in front of him and told the truth.
Beilein was stunned, not understanding what Truman said. Truman asked: "How did your boat come here? This is the deep sea."
Beilein smiled bitterly and said: "Master Mage, you are not a Scotia, are you?"
"no."
"No wonder you don't understand. The merchants of Skochina basically travel by land. The circulation of goods is convenient. We are everywhere on the mainland. But at sea... If merchants at sea want to survive, they can only rely on Smuggling. Ninety percent of the smuggling merchant ships in Scotia are royal warships. We small merchants must bypass safe places near the sea and take deep-sea routes."
"Isn't that too dangerous?"
"There is no way. There are anti-smuggling ships of the Royal Fleet everywhere near the sea. If they are loaded, the goods will be confiscated and the captain will be executed." Seeing that Truman's expression did not change, Beilein added: "If this anti-smuggling ship is left alone, , we armed merchant ships may even sink it, so smuggling on the sea is basically done with our heads up."
"The profit must be very high, right?"
"Master Mage, you have also seen that once my boat sinks, almost half a year of work will be in vain. This boat is the shares of more than a dozen people. Even if it is divided equally, I will not earn 10,000 gold coins."
Truman nodded. He was born on Srig Island and didn't know the value of gold coins since he was a child. After arriving in Metatrin City, all consumption was done by Saleen, and he did not need to work. He had no idea what ten thousand gold coins meant.
Seeing Truman's cold expression, Beilein felt relieved. He still has some private goods on his body. Although ordinary people cannot use space equipment, it does not mean that they cannot use space equipment. His space equipment was hung around his neck. When he returned to Iron Wall City, he would find a mage to take out the goods inside.
If it was really that shipment, the profit would indeed be a little small.
"Where did your route start from and where are you going?" Truman had never seen the captain before. These were the words Salin asked him to ask.
"We set off from an island east of Port Royal, and our destination was the Tangulas Empire. The Tangulas Empire suppressed commerce, but smuggling was still prevalent. My cargo..."
"Ship it to the Tangglas Empire and sell it, and then buy back the Tangglas Empire's specialties. It's several times more than what you can earn on land, right?" Although Truman doesn't understand business, his calculation ability is far greater than that of a Ordinary people.
"Let's get to the point. Is the route you control safe?"
"Of course it's not safe. Although the Tangglas Empire's navy is not as good as the Yunliu people, it is not something that our merchants can fight against. So we have to go deep into the sea and bribe some nobles and soldiers before we can reach the shore. If there is a storm, what will happen? It’s all gone.”
"Do you have a chart?" Truman was not interested in what Beilein said. It was similar to what Salin said, and Salin even said some things that Truman could not understand.
"have."
"Give it to me. Consider it my reward for saving you."
"Ah?" Beilein didn't understand. He thought he heard it wrong.
"If it wasn't to save you, I wouldn't have had to risk the warship entering the storm area. Do you know that anchoring here for one hour is equal to the six hours we spent outside?" Truman said impatiently. He was not a robber, otherwise he would have robbed him long ago.
"Okay." Beilein cried sadly. This chart is the secret of their United Business Association. Without this chart, the United Business Association would not be able to develop and become the largest business organization in Iron Wall City. This time, he went to the Tangulas Empire in person for an important cargo. Unexpectedly, he encountered this strange storm. Logically speaking, there should be good weather within thousands of miles nearby, and there would never be a storm.
And he himself is an important shareholder of the Iron Wall City United Business Association, and he has one of the three charts.
Truman is addicted to magic and is not good at communication. He just waits coldly for Beilein to take out the chart. Beilein couldn't bear the gaze of a fifth-level great magician, so he obediently took off a bracelet from his hand, carefully took out a crystal, and said: "Master Mage, this contains a sea map, can you... "
"I'll make a copy and I'll give this back to you." Truman said, took the crystal, turned around and left the cabin.
Truman completed his mission and was about to meet Salin when he arrived at the sea map. As he walked out of the cabin, he stumbled. Two ancient warriors behind him with quick hands and eyes caught him. The entire battleship was shaking violently, and the chain holding the metal seal box below made a snapping sound. The dragon-wrapped battleship was thrown up by the waves, flew into the air, and then fell heavily.
Salin was not spared in the cabin, but he was a ninth-level mage. He immediately fixed himself to the ground and opened the magic circle. In the magical image, Saleen saw the huge eye approaching the dragon battleship.
Damn it!
When Salin saw this huge thing, he felt extremely depressed. What kind of monster is this? But never heard of it! At the same time, he also saw the sailboat breaking through the waves below the huge eyes. This thing Salin knew was a ghost ship.
When low-level ghosts possess other creatures, they will not be able to maintain the survival of the body's organs and will slowly become necrotic. When humans first used ghosts, they also created many ghost armies to deal with the gods. This thing is one of the few pieces of equipment with images that have been passed down. Modern magicians have tried to make it, but they can't capture ghosts, so everything is in vain.
The core of this storm is a hurricane group covering dozens of miles. Without the fixation of the metal seal box, the dragon warship can only rely on the magic array to maintain balance. This time the consumption suddenly increased dozens of times.
"Northeast, move forward at full speed!" Salin used the sound transmission magic array to issue the order, and his voice rang throughout the battleship. There are no mediocre people on the dragon warship. Even the soldiers are elites from the Kingdom of Metatrin. The sailors were brought over from Srig Island. If they are not close relatives, they will not be allowed to control this warship.
The distance between the dragon warship and the ghost ship was only five miles. Because the metal chain below broke, it saved the trouble of lifting the anchor. The magic furnace was activated at full power, the dragon skeleton battleship opened its bone wings, turned around quickly, and fled desperately.
Salin was not worried about not being able to beat this weird eye. With the family crest in hand, shooting such a huge target didn't even require any locking ability. But this storm obviously did not reach its extreme. The entire storm within a range of thousands of miles is probably related to this huge eye.
If the power of the storm increases, the dragon battleship may sink. There was no need to bear such a loss. Salin prepared to escape from the dangerous area and turn around to deal with this huge eye.
"Help me! Help me..."
In the distant sky, at the core of the hurricane, the huge eye suddenly made a strange sound, which was directly transmitted to Salin's dragon battleship. This sound seemed to be made by thousands of people at the same time, but there was no sense of chaos.
After hearing this, Saleen became even more anxious and asked Nailis to take the twelfth-level magic core and distribute it to the great magicians in charge of the magic furnace.
"Don't go! Save me..."
The huge eyes kept calling, and Saleen used a louder voice to urge the mage to control the warship to fly up. He now regrets not bringing the Winged Skeleton with him. If the Winged Skeleton were there, he could control the battleship much faster than these great magicians.
"Lord, I've heard of this thing!" Nicholas said to Salin from the side. V! ~!
