Chapter 168 Ys City

“You mean you met the flagship of the Wan Flagship Team earlier, The misty phantom of the Crown?”

After the high elf officer asked about the situation, his previously tense poker face suddenly pulled into a smile.

It was a mocking smile with a hint of arrogance.

There is no doubt that he did not believe Hobbes and their statement.

Awa, known as the foggy country, has never been invaded by foreigners before entering the mortal era. At this point, it is the thick fog shrouded in the Awa Continent that has made a great contribution.

The fog, originating from the primordial spirit, shields all sight and interference from outside gods. Until the magic of the platinum calendar era was widely promoted, once any force fell into this fog, it would completely lose its superiority in extraordinary power. On the other hand, the afterimages of those past things, the phenomenon called mist ghosts, is also a natural barrier.

During the foggy days, ships sailing this Sea Territory may encounter ghosts long gone. Of course, it depends on luck whether you can get it or not, and what kind of ghost you will encounter.

It is relatively lucky to encounter a merchant ship and a passenger ship that sank in the Broken Sea because of the storm; and if you encounter a pirate who has been buried in this Sea Territory, it will lead to the destruction of the ship. As for those Riel Empire expedition fleets that were destroyed in the Battle of Drift, they were the most terrifying mist ghosts theoretically possible to encounter.

Especially the imperial flagship named “The Crown”, according to the records in the Avazhou Archives, the emperor who personally led the troops into battle was given by the continent Lord Remedios. An arrow shot to death on the ship. Since then, his Nether Soul has been lingering on the ship, constantly reenacting the scene of his last battle before his death – of course, Riel Empire has yet to admit this statement.

And if it is discovered by the misty phantom on the crown, unless it is a powerhouse that can reach the level of their continent master, no one can run out of the opponent’s hands, let alone from the other party. The opponent’s hands saved three lives.

But if the person in front of him is really a powerhouse of that level, can he still come here to do the smuggling business himself?

However, based on the high-level Elf Race’s good training, the elf officer did not directly make a sarcastic statement, he just said to William:

“Then please lead the way to check the cabin. Goods, do you mind?”

Although he said it was a request, there was an order in his tone.

Still, William was nodded, not wanting to cause too much trouble until he met Remedios.

The current political form of the entire Awa is still unclear. Until the form is clarified, there is no need to fight over such a small matter.

Thinking of this, William stepped towards the other party, and as soon as he walked away, Diana, who had been standing behind him, was exposed to the sight of the elf officer. William saw the other’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, the officer turned and walked towards the cabin.

William was silent for two seconds upon seeing this, and followed along quickly.

The two, one after the other, walked off the deck and into the cabin.

The aisle in the cabin was originally a little narrow, which was too low for the tall Elf Race. The opponent had to bow slightly to move forward. He asked as he walked:

p>

“You hired this ship?”

“That’s right.”

William replies from a safe distance from each other.

Because the means used by Demoness to hide himself are invisible in the eyes of the high elves, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, William did not let her follow him before leaving his room.

“I just heard from the captain that you are not going to go through his connections with the Fengge family this time, but plan to sell the cargo of this ship by yourself. Why is that?”

The other party continued to ask.

“I have some connections myself in Ava.”

William candidly replied.

He’s absolutely telling the truth.

“Oh? Where are the connections? Clockwork City, Fengsui City, or Rock Fortress City?”

For this question, although the other party is facing away from him at the moment, William Still habitually shaking his head and replied:

“It’s a connection to the Moon City.”

The elf officer hearing this stopped directly in this narrow corridor, he was a little difficult Turning around, looking at William with a serious face, he said:

“Moon Law City will never do business with an imperial person, this is the rule set by the Continent Lord, what exactly is your trip? Who do you want to do business with? Which family, please tell me the other party’s surname.”

In response, William tilted his head, as if he was a little helpless replied:

“Not a family, but a knight-errant.”

“A knight-errant returning home?”

The expression on the other party’s face softened. Over the years, despite the blockade of the storm, there are still high elves who yearn for the outside world, and will travel to the Vic continent on a smuggling ship as a knight-errant. Later, even the officials of Avazhou would send a knight-errant to establish an intelligence network to keep abreast of all aspects of the Riel Empire.

Including the information that the Imperial Navy has assembled in Swan Harbor and Green Water Harbor, most of them are returned by those knight-errants who travel alone.

The matter of sending knight-errant to leave the Awa Continent to travel abroad was proposed by the current Continent Lord Remedios. Although the resolution was initially unanimously opposed by the Moon Wheel Council, Remedios came out as the greatest “knight-errant hero” in Ava’s history and eventually persuaded everyone to pass the resolution. proposal.

This is also the reason. In the past 800 years, many elves have gone out to practice as knight-errants, and then returned before their blessings weakened and became invalid, and became part of the Avazhou system again. .

“I remember we met in Ravenwood back then, and we had adventures together for many years. Then we said goodbye because of some things, and we haven’t seen each other for many years…I only found out that she was back some time ago. It’s my hometown.”

William said sincerely.

The high elf officer could tell from his tone that the other party was not lying, but he continued:

“But even a knight-errant, it cannot violate the Continent Lord’s past. The rules set. Moon Law City will never allow any imperial people to step in…”

William interrupted the other party’s words:

“So this is another key issue. …I’m not an Imperial.”

The elven officer hearing this immediately retorted:

“But Hobbs Blackwhale said you were the Primordial from the Blackwater Province Silver Merchant.”

“Don’t you know that Blackwater Province is now independent?”

“Independent?”

When they heard the word, the other party Suddenly frowned.

“When?”

“It’s been a few months…even in Ava, the news shouldn’t be so ill-informed, right? Or is the Whalebone in After the storm, the first ship to cross the Broken Sea to do business here?”

William said in a relaxed tone.

And the other party stretched out three fingers and said:

“The third ship, and the first two ships were mixed with spies sent by the Empire.”

“That’s why you insist on searching every ship that crosses the border? But how are you going to tell who’s a spies from the Empire? I mean, they’re definitely going to disguise and not give the word ‘spy’ to Write it on your face, right?”

William asked immediately.

The other party heard this and gave William a deep look, maybe because William mentioned that he had a knight-errant friend before, his attitude towards William didn’t seem to be as arrogant as before.

He turned around and continued walking, then said as he walked:

“We have our own way of distinguishing.”

It’s still a commercial secret, and it is forbidden to leak it. Isn’t it…

William muttered in his heart, then looked at the door he almost passed by and said quickly:

“Ehhh, this is the warehouse.”

Speaking, he took out the key and walked over to open the door, then pointed to the rough ore packed in wooden crates and said:

“That’s all, just check.”

p>

The other party didn’t say anything, but went straight in.

He took out half a fist-sized ball from his waist, and then he didn’t know what he was doing, and the bright orange red light overflowed from it, filling the whole room.

Those Elemental Silver rough ore gleamed in this light.

After a cursory inspection, he walked to the safe in the middle of the warehouse.

“What’s in this?”

He asked, patted the box with his hand.

“Refined Elementium Silver.”

William replied .

“Is it convenient to open it and check it?”

The other party looked at William and asked.

“There are all refined Elementium Silver ingots in here, about tens of kilograms, enough to buy all the ships that are blocking us outside of you.”

William so said.

“What do you mean?”

the man frowned asked.

“Meaning, I can’t trust you. So I won’t open the safe.”

The elf officer looked at the safe, then turned his head towards William, but didn’t. Without waiting for him to speak, he directly said to Convenience:

“If you force it open, a self-destruction technique is installed in the safe, which will send the contents directly into the space rift. Of course, I know you will definitely not Don’t worry about what’s inside, so…”

William walked over and held down the safe, the blue light flashed on his hand, and released an [Appraisal Technique].

He also pressed his hand on the safe, and a message instantly appeared in the mind of the elf officer, confirming that the almost pure Elemental Silver was placed in the cabinet.

Rao is because he has a firm mind. After feeling this information, he also feels that his head is dizzy after being hit by a hammer.

This is dozens of kilograms of refined essentia silver…

There is no ore vein of essential silver in Ava Continent, and some scholars even think that this is the reason why magic research starts to outpace human beings. In the early days, the innate talent was an important reason for the advanced Elf Race that far surpassed human beings, but it was once overtaken by humans in the application of magic.

This was not until the Riel Empire was established, and human beings under the laws of the stars drove the reverse of history, and they barely caught up.

“Is that all right?”

William asked, looking at the elf officer who was breathing heavily.

His breathing was also slightly heavy, but it wasn’t for any other reason, but his previous [Appraisal Technique] did not rely on Liz to establish a magic path for him, but the body was separated by tens of thousands of kilometers. The distance is released directly through the holy emblem.

An ordinary apprentice-level spell just consumes a magic power that even the Peak spell doesn’t necessarily use up.

…………

The final result of the inspection is to allow the release, but they must be accompanied by their people throughout the process, and their every move must be under their supervision.

“So, your ‘release plan’ seems to have failed. When the time comes, are you going to let them take the springboard on the return trip, or just take them back?”

>

William jokedly said to Hobbes.

Hobbs had planned to release the three Imperial sailors in Ava, but now it seems that it is difficult to find an opportunity.

Hobbes didn’t answer William’s words, but looked away with a worried expression.

On a larger and more ornately decorated elf longship not far away, I followed the boat to check the elves, and was reporting something to an elf in gorgeous golden scales . As he said that, he also pointed to Hobbs’ ship from time to time.

“Guess what they’re talking about?”

William asked after watching Hobbs for a while.

“I don’t know…but my eyelids have started to twitch since those pointy ears got off the boat. Usually this only happens when a rainstorm is coming.”

Do people in this world believe this?

William resisted the urge to complain and turned his attention to the pier of Misty Harbor, which was getting closer.

Ys City is the city of Voyagers in Ava. Half of the city is built on land and half on ships. Almost half of the residents of the entire city have lived on boats all their lives, and have never set foot on land except to receive the blessing and return of the holy fire.

During the Moon Realm crisis, 1/4 of the city of Ys was dismantled into a fleet to support the Vic continent. The reinforcements of the High Elf took this fleet to support Fairy Bay in Ravenwood, helped the forest elves resist the Ash March of the three Great Demon generals under the ruined Demon God, and successfully diverted the attention of the ruined Demon God Odin. Buying precious time for the tribunal to take the rubble of Old Fang’s house.

Because he was busy stealing his home, William didn’t see the magnificent scene when 1/4 of the city came over. He just heard the battle report afterward – not even a CG. But he was only based on this battle report, and he also thought about what a shocking scene this would be, and how prosperous the city of Ys, the city of Voyagers, would be.

But after 1,008 years, when William finally saw the legendary city for the first time, he blurted out only four words:

“It’s so deserted…”

As described in the literature, the densely packed ships here are connected to form a sea city. But unlike the documentation, the city does not change with the movement of the boats, because the boats are linked together by chains, forming a man-made island.

And because it has not been started for too long, most of the hull is covered with barnacles that can kill people with intensive phobias on the spot.

“It’s been that way since eight hundred years ago.”

Hobes said at the sidelines of William’s words.

“It is said that the large and small ships here have been cleaned more than ten times, and the ships that remain are not even as good as the one third in the era of the war of kings.”

“Why Contrast this with the era of the War of Kings?”

William asked suspiciously.

“Because it was the Peak of the entire Ys City at that time, the major kingdoms with balanced strength on the continent all hoped to get the military support of Ava, so there was an endless stream of trade fleets.”

Hobbes replied.

“After the storm blocked the Broken Sea, the grand occasion of ten thousand ships was gone. Now the residents of Ys City, except for the fishermen, basically moved to the land to live. .”
