831 The Rise of an Eminent Writer (1/2)
Malan Port.
Fang Yuan was like a specter as he watched a horse carriage 'passing through' his body.
Closeby, a few fishmonger stalls were emitting a strong fishy smell. All kinds of sounds and congregating pedestrians were creating a bustling morning market scene.
Although he could only take form as a specter while walking around the world, he was already very satisfied.
At least when compared to being an absolute observer, it was a huge improvement.
”Mmm. In summary, this place is quite similar to Europe's Age of Discovery from my previous life, but it also possesses fundamental differences!”
Fang Yuan strolled around and arrived at the heavily guarded royal dock.
There were multiple sinister-looking giant warships that were just like quietly crouching giant beasts, giving off a dangerous and terrifying feeling.
In particular, among them were a few 'leviathan' warships that were fully covered with armor, having incomparable displacement tonnage and a frightening amount of cannons on its hull!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
”Armored warships?”
Fang Yuan could imagine that with such fearsome ships, the average pirate ship would practically be in tatters with merely a bump on the ocean.
It was to the extent where even the octopus monster from earlier might not be able to deal with it.
However, this type of armored warship had a bizarre appearance. Not only did it have a sail, but it also had a tall chimney. It was impressively powered by a hybrid of steam engines and sails.
”Industrial Revolution!”
Fang Yuan sighed emotionally. As if he had entered an uninhabited land, he freely toured around the warship.
Even though the royal fleet was heavily guarded, and even had Extraordinaries keeping watch, they were still completely unable to discover a single trace of him.
In particular, when Fang Yuan saw a machine that was relatively more primitive, bulky, and cumbersome, he smiled as though he had met a familiar acquaintance.
”In reality, the steam warships in this era might not necessarily surpass the ultra-large five-masted ships… but this is a trend!”
It went without saying that replacing manpower with machines was a sign of society's progress.
No matter what, it would always be better to exploit machines over people.
Furthermore, the most important point was that the power of steam engines could be reproduced by every family.
Otherwise, what difference would it make if it was merely a tiny amount of extraordinary forces?
”When discussing what true warships are, wooden ones are simply cannon fodder, and armored warships also only meet the basic standard. Only legendary magical warships are truly able to embark on the Golden Sea Route and cross various large oceans!”
Magical warships!
As implied by the name, they were designed to use mysterious forces as their power source, with the most famous one being the legend of the Specter Ship.
Of course, due to issues such as magic attachment, there were very few forces in the entire ocean that possessed a magical warship. However, those forces that did possess them were all at the level of an absolute overlord and dominated an entire area.
The Octopus Marauder Team was basically not even a strand of hair when compared to such existences.
…
”Praise you, my Lord, you are the Master of Dreams and Armaments!”
”I'm willing to believe in you with my devout heart! Please grant me permission to recite your name!”
…
Fang Yuan could hear multiple prayers coming through.
In fact, it was precisely because of his believers' power of faith converging that enabled him to slightly break through the world's limitations and transform into a specter-like image in the main world.
With a thought, he directly returned to the vicinity of Donald's family.
After that incident, Donald had brought his wife and child to reside in the city.
Entering his view was a small two-story villa with a garden in front.
Prayers could be heard coming from the villa's living room.
The butler was used to the strange sight and paid attention to every single guest, ready to satisfy their demands at all times.
”All right… As long as you are a devout believer of the Lord, you will eventually receive his response!”
Donald spoke like a religious fanatic among the believers.
He was a mad believer that was absolutely convinced of Fang Yuan's existence. Moreover, he was proactively advising his own wife and child to believe in the Dream and Armament Master.
This was because Donald was clear that he was a great and generous existence.
Those ancient rulers were all naturally very powerful and also possessed strange abilities. But when it came to generosity, they were far inferior to the Dream and Armament Master.
Relying on the pearls that he had obtained, Donald had purchased a villa and deposited the remaining gold coins in a bank. He had also hired a butler and a few servants, immediately living the blessed life of the upper class.
What sort of people were the upper class?
From the perspective of the port's residents, only those who had nothing to do every day and merely depended on rent and interest for their livelihoods were truly dignified gentlemen.
Although society's atmosphere for pursuing wealth was gradually intensifying, there was a large market for such a statement once.
Ettoman was formerly a country that regarded physical labor as a form of disgrace.
