Chapter 192 (2/2)
The Great Cloud Dynasty was vast, comprised of 36 greater provinces and 72 lesser provinces. Each greater province was comprised of 108 directly subordinated prefectures, and each lesser province was comprised of 250 to 360 .
The surface area of any given greater province’s directly subordinated prefecture of the Great Cloud Dynasty was at least ten times that of Turandot Subcontinent. The surface area ofthree to five times that of Turandot Subcontinent.
The Great Cloud Dynasty’s armed merchant s.h.i.+ps suitable for maritime trade were divided into A, B, C, and D-cla.s.s, with the D-cla.s.s being the most basic armed merchant s.h.i.+p suitable for maritime trade. Apart from the four cla.s.ses of s.h.i.+ps, there were still none-commercial armed merchant s.h.i.+ps tasked with offsh.o.r.e trade.
On earth, it would be very difficult to manufacture such a huge s.h.i.+p as the armed merchant s.h.i.+p before Yang Feng’s eyes, and it was still just a D-cla.s.s armed merchant s.h.i.+p of the Great Cloud Dynasty.
Compared with the people of the continent’s Great Cloud Dynasty, the Turandot Subcontinent’s people were a bunch of country b.u.mpkins. They were not even capable of producing a s.h.i.+p one tenth the seize of this D-Cla.s.s armed merchant s.h.i.+p.
“Young Lord Kong, who are these people?”
A middle-aged man with a dark complexion, a tall and bulky figure, and short black hair walked over and asked Kongfang Ao slightly respectfully. The middle-aged man was full of oriental flair.
Kongfang ao introduced: “Captain Zheng, this is my good friend Yang Feng, and this is his sister s.h.i.+ Xue. Brother Yang, this is Storm Cry’s captain, Captain Zheng Gong.”
Yang Feng’s true body was leaving for the Eastern Continent’s Great Cloud Dynasty, only bringing s.h.i.+ Xue along. He knew that his strength was negligible in the Great Cloud Dynasty, which was why he wanted to go alone. Were something untoward to happen, he could slip away without any concerns.
The reason why he brought s.h.i.+ Xue along was because the various secret methods on Turandot Subcontinent were too lacking; he did not want such an outstanding person like her to waste her talent by staying in the subcontinent. Only by going to the Great Cloud Dynasty and cultivating more powerful secret methods could her outstanding talent be put to good use, allowing her to mature faster and better.
While cultivating in such a barren place like the Turandot Subcontinent, s.h.i.+ Xue managed to directly advance to a level-3 Warlock from scratch in less than 5 years. Her talent could very well be imagined. Yang Feng was not willing to waste her talent.
Yang Feng smiled and said: “h.e.l.lo, Captain Zheng.”
Zheng Gong swept Yang Feng with a glance; his eyebrows creased slightly. He said aster a pause: “Young Lord Yang, h.e.l.lo. Although you are a friend of Young Lord Kong, however, you cannot be exempted from the s.h.i.+p fare.”
Yang Feng smiled and handed Zheng Gong a storage ring: “I know. 4,000 top-notch magic stones per person, right? Here are 8,000 top-notch magic stones.”
Zheng Gong took the storage ring and swept it with his spirit force before putting it away and handing Yang Feng and s.h.i.+ Xue a jade card each: “These are your ident.i.ty cards, do not loose them. These jade cards might save you in a key moment.”
Yang Feng took the jade card and gave it a look over. The jade card was carved with a number of profound and mysterious runes and emitted mysterious fluctuations of power. It was clearly a magic treasure.
Zheng Gong said with a solemn expression: “The Sea of Monsters is extremely dangerous and the are countless taboos. On this s.h.i.+p, you have to listen to me. You cannot run wildly about and, most importantly, you cannot throw anything into the sea. Or else, I cannot guaranty your safety.”
Yang Feng said lightly: “I know!”
The Sea of Monsters was very dangerous. Yang Feng also knew that if one was not careful in this sea, then even a Starry Sky Warlock would fall. He naturally would not act rashly.
Zheng Gong left after leaving Yang Feng with some supplementary information about the Sea of Monsters’ taboos.
Yang Feng followed Kongfang Ao to board the giant s.h.i.+p Storm Cry.
“!!”
Following Zheng Gong’s roar, magic light flickered on the bodies of the Storm Cry’s sailors, and a strong wind enveloped above the Storm Cry. An incomparable formidable life force filled the Storm Cry and, as if an extraordinary life form coming to life, it slowly swam into the depths of the sea.
Yang Feng felt the mighty life force pervading the Storm Cry. His eyes flashed with a touch of shock and he exclaimed: “This s.h.i.+p is alive?”
Kongfang Ao smiled and said: “In a sense, it is alive! The Storm Cry has the soul of a Starry Sky Warlock rank Sea Demonic Shark sealed inside. Once the s.h.i.+p’s crew pours all their power into the Storm Cry, it can even erupt with the terrifying combat strength of the Starry Sky Warlock rank.”
An armed merchant s.h.i.+p could erupt with the terrifying combat strength of the Starry Sky Warlock rank. The Great Cloud Dynasty’s power once more shocked Yang Feng.
As if riding the wind, the Storm Cry speedily rushed atop the sea, splitting the sea into two. Yang Feng let the optical computer do some calculations. The Storm Cry’s speed was more than three hundred knots, which was ten times the speed of an aircraft carrier on Earth.
In the ocean, due to the obstruction of seawater, the speed of a s.h.i.+p could not be great. However, with the power of magic, the Storm Cry had completely shattered the common sense Yang Feng had cultivated on Earth. Its speed was astonis.h.i.+ng. The s.h.i.+p was extremely steady while sailing at such a fast speed, not swaying in the slightest. Yang Feng felt like he was standing on dry land, not feeling any discomfort.
