More than ten days passed quickly. At noon that day, the sea was cloudless and the weather was clear.
The sunlight falls on the vast blue sea, reflecting thousands of lights as bright as diamonds.
Just in front of the ship, Tianyang, standing on the deck, finally saw land.
That is a port city in the West Land, Blue Mountain Port.
This is a new port city that has flourished in the West Land in recent years. The industries here are mainly based on various plantations. In addition, it has gold, coal, iron and other mineral deposits, which has attracted a large number of outsiders.
After decades of development, outsiders and local indigenous people gradually merged and formed a wonderful relationship.
As an important platform connecting the central mainland, Lanshan Port not only has a developed shipping industry, but also has many shipyards along the port. Therefore, when approaching the port, you can see from afar that many ships are moored at the port dock.
Behind the dock, you can see a row of coconut trees from afar. They guard a road leading from the port to the city.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the 'Poseidon' slowly entered the port and gradually approached a dock specially prepared for ocean-going vessels.
Yue Guang and others came to the deck with suitcases, waiting to disembark. Tian Yang took Xiao Xitong from Hong Xiu. The little guy was held in his arms, looking at the port in the distance excitedly, pointing at the large and small ships, clapping his hands and shouting constantly.
"Ship...Ship..."
This is new knowledge she learned recently on the ship.
"look."
The moonlight whispered softly and looked not far away on the deck. Tianyang followed her gaze and saw Qin Wangshu.
She has returned to her original identity. She has black hair and red eyes, a very classical beauty. She wears a dress that perfectly highlights her temperament. She walks slowly and leisurely.
The people on the deck, both men and women, seemed to pale in comparison to her and subconsciously stepped aside, so Qin Wangshu passed through unhindered and came in front of Tianyang.
"I wanted to invite you to come with me, but I thought you might not be willing."
Qin Wangshu said this while glancing at the moonlight with a smile.
These two women, each with their own characteristics, are almost the same height. Yueguang has a cold temperament, just like the bright moon in the sky, out of reach; Qin Wangshu has a classical temperament, with smiling eyes and is gentle and peaceful in dealing with people, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
Two women with different temperaments and characteristics standing together were already eye-catching. In addition, Tianyang was between them. For a moment, Tianyang was more conspicuous than them.
Eyes on the deck kept moving back and forth between the three of them, and people secretly speculated about the relationship between the three.
Yue Guang responded to Qin Wangshu with an extremely sharp look: "Why are you looking at me? Whether he is willing or not has nothing to do with me!"
Qin Wangshu smiled apologetically: "It seems that I guessed wrong. I originally thought that the girl and Tianyang were... I'm really sorry, I hope you don't mind."
Moonlight snorted and looked away.
Qin Wangshu's eyes fell on Xiao Xitong again, and he exclaimed softly: "Whose little girl is this? She's so cute."
"She is my daughter." Tianyang said with a smile.
Qin Wangshu's expression froze for a moment, and it took him a long time to recover: "You already have a family?"
"No, this is an abandoned baby I adopted on the road."
Qin Wangshu was relieved
, then reached out to pinch Xiao Xitong's face, but the little girl turned around and hugged Tianyang's neck, not giving Qin Wangshu the chance to pinch her face.
Tian Yang had no choice but to say, "She is shy."
"It's normal for children to be shy." Qin Wangshu, as expected of the Chamber of Commerce chairman, was not embarrassed at all. He reached into his pocket and took out a sachet, stuffed it into Tianyang's pocket and said, "This is a medicine sachet refined from the essence of hundreds of herbs. It has the effect of soothing sleep and calming the mind. If you bring it with you, the little one will sleep better at night."
"OK, thanks."
Tianyang accepted the small gift generously.
At this time, a whistle sounded from the deck, indicating that the ship had docked and passengers could disembark.
"Then I'll be leaving first. See you at Ares Castle."
Qin Wangshu greeted Yue Guang and others one by one before leaving. His courtesy was impeccable.
As soon as she left, Moonlight said unhappily, "I hate dealing with people like this. They always smile at me. It's really uncomfortable to deal with them."
Tianyang looked at her seriously and said, "You shouldn't be called Yueguang."
"What should I be called then?"
"You should be called Rose. Look at you, you are covered with thorns."
Then, without waiting for the moonlight to appear, Tianyang said, "Let's go, get off the boat."
Moonlight stood behind him with his hands on his hips and said, "Who is covered in thorns? Explain your words clearly to me!"
Tianyang naturally wouldn't accept this.
They came to the dock via the gangway. Zhang Rui's family was already waiting there. When they saw Tianyang and the others coming down, they waved to let them pass.
After Tianyang and his companions met up with Zhang Rui, they learned that Tu Moshan had already sent someone to fetch the car. They would enter the city only after the car was driven out of the cabin.
They will stay in Blue Mountain Port for a day today, meet the escort team from Westland in the evening, and then set off tomorrow.
"Guard team?" Tian Yang asked in surprise, "Why, after arriving in the Western Continent, we still have to hire local guards?"
Zhang Rui smiled and said, "The Western Continent is not peaceful. There have been wars here for many years, and it is normal for fortresses to attack each other. Therefore, the chaos in the wilderness is far greater than our Eastern Continent and the Central Continent where the Golden Mint Chamber of Commerce is located."
"So after arriving in the Western Continent, the caravans usually hire local guards. These people understand the situation in the Western Continent and have connections with people from all sides. Of course, ordinary forces would not dare to do anything to a merchant caravan like ours, but they are afraid that it will attract the attention of some large bandit groups."
"If we hire local guards, this problem will be greatly reduced, because many of these local guards come from large bandit gangs, or have connections with these bandit gangs."
Tian Yang frowned and said, "If that's the case, aren't you worried that they might steal from the company?"
"Normally they wouldn't do this. The West Continent has been in turmoil for many years, and they also need the supplies and specialties shipped from the East Continent and the Central Continent. If they always attack the caravans from the other two continents, who would dare to come here after a while?"
Zhang Rui said with a smile: "Therefore, those organizations and bandit groups in the Western Continent have an unwritten rule. Even if they rob a merchant caravan in the Eastern Continent or the Central Continent, they can only rob one-third of the caravan, and try not to kill anyone if possible."
"If anyone violates this rule, they will be hunted down by the organizations and bandits in the Western Continent. As time went on, they simply stopped thinking about robbing and started to do the protection work directly, so it gradually evolved into what it is now."
“This is really
Unbelievable." Tianyang said sincerely.
Zhang Rui smiled and nodded: "This is indeed incredible. What's even more incredible is that people from the East and Central Continents are quite popular in the West Continent. Especially the women here, once they see that you are from the other two continents, they will try their best to please you, in order to get you to take her away from the West Continent."
Hearing this, Tianyang remembered what Yueguang had said to him at the 'Midnight Market' that day.
Now hearing what Zhang Rui said, it seems that the Western Continent is really in a bad state. The two wars with alien gods have seriously damaged this continent. It should have been ahead of the Eastern and Central Continents in all aspects, but now it has become so bad.
Of course, no matter how bad the situation is, there are still one or two extremely prosperous fortresses. Unfortunately, only a small number of people can live in such fortresses.
The sound of a car coming from a distance attracted Tianyang's attention. The vehicle of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce had already driven out of the cabin, so everyone got in their cars.
Tianyang and Yueguang rode together in 'Poison', Yueguang held Xiao Xitong in her arms while Tianyang drove the car, following the Ruby Chamber of Commerce's convoy, slowly passing the dock and heading towards the highway entrance ahead.
Just when the exit was in sight, suddenly a truck drove over from the other side of the road, braked suddenly and stopped on the road, blocking the exit.
The carriage opened and fully armed soldiers jumped out one after another. They were wearing gray-blue uniforms and military boots. They were flexible and powerful. They quickly spread out and formed a human wall, occupying various key points around the truck and the highway exit.
This time, not only the Ruby Chamber of Commerce's convoy had to stop, but some vehicles leaving the port also had to stop.
"What's going on?" Yueguang hugged Xiao Xitong and looked out the window.
Since the exit was blocked, someone had already reported the matter to the port management. Soon, several blond, blue-eyed, fair-skinned Westerners, wearing their port management IDs, went to negotiate at the exit.
"What's going on? Why is the exit closed?" A Westerner with a mustache spread his hands and shouted.
Bang!
The cab of the truck suddenly opened, and a tall middle-aged man jumped out of the car, cursing something.
He was wearing an officer's uniform, also gray-blue, but with epaulettes and a military cap.
He glanced at the port management staff and shouted, "This is none of your business, stand back."
Then he gestured, and the broadcasting system on one of the trucks rang: "We are the Blue Mountain Port City Guards. Military control is now implemented here. No one is allowed to leave for the time being."
"We regard all attempts to cross the line as provocations. The consequences of provocation are very serious. I hope you will not try it lightly."
During the broadcast, soldiers had already set up a cordon, leaving people confused.
Not long after, several more magnetic vehicles arrived. These magnetic vehicles were obviously very different from the trucks of the Blue Mountain Island City Guards. They were more sophisticated and had stronger armor. The technology they represented was at the forefront of the times and could not be compared with the old-fashioned trucks on Blue Mountain Island that were about to be eliminated.
But what is more eye-catching is that there is a pattern on those magnetic energy cars.
That was a pattern of a long sword surrounded by lightning.
That is the symbol of the Church of the Lord of War!
Seeing these magnetic vehicles with church logos, Tianyang frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in his heart.
