Chapter 2861 (1/2)
On hearing my inquiry, Captain Donovan shook his head and said, ”I was going to take you in the direction of the icy continent first, and then turn to look for the port after seeing the edge of the continent. But now that our speed has increased, we should take a little more road and go directly to a nearby port city, hire a navigator who knows Ruth, and then fly straight to the port on the ice continent. This is the fastest and safest way. ”
”All right, then please point out the direction.”
”OK.”
After changing course, we flew for about an hour before we saw the port. According to captain Donovan, it would take about a day and a night to reach the port at their previous speed, but fortunately, it took them less than an hour to reach such a heavy warship. This speed is really exciting.
When the warship landed in the harbor, there was a commotion. After all, the warship coming from the air was still pulled by two dragons, which was really frightening. Fortunately, because of the two dragons pulling the warship, we all know that this is a dragon that is more friendly to human beings. After all, those murderous dragons will not help you pull the boat. It's almost as good to tear down the boat.
The warship landed in the open sea of the port, and then the plague and luck let go of the warship. The warship was controlled by the gravity control of XiaoLongNu on the ship. Anyway, when entering the port, it was only a low speed sailing, which was very easy for little Longnu.
In the eyes of a group of shipowners, the warship sailed to an empty berth without raising sails at all, and then docked. When the springboard of the boat came out, the tax collectors on this side of the coast did not even dare to go forward to collect taxes.
Captain Donovan didn't have the slightest resistance to this. In her opinion, she could use our deterrence to improve the reputation of the Empire. After all, it was the first time that those empires could use dragons to pull boats.
When the springboard was set up, several sailors came down to fix the ropes, while captain Donovan and I, and her two adjutants, stepped off the warship one after the other.
Seeing the tax collector on the trestle, Captain Donovan took the initiative to walk over, handed the other party a bag of gold coins, and said in the stunned eyes of the other party, ”please contact us about the supplies. This is the reward.”
The other party seemed to be woken up by someone, so he suddenly responded and began to express his enthusiasm that he would do well. Then he sent us out of the dock like a pug. There are many reasons for this attitude. First, it was a warship, and it belonged to a very powerful empire, and they were only a neutral port here, so as a tax collector here, he was not qualified to offend the captain of such a class I battleship. In particular, the other party is so young and still a woman, which can only show that the background of the other party is quite terrible. Nine times out of ten, they are children of the high-level families of the Empire. The second point is that the warship was pulled by two dragons, and still flew over. This is a symbol of strength, indicating that the other side is the kind of person who can't offend even if he has no money. The last point is about money. The gold coins that Captain Donovan gave him were definitely more than the supply and parking fees. At this time, the extra money meant that the rest belonged to tips. Therefore, the tax collector was so polite that he wanted to bow down to serve as a loyal dog to the other side.
With the help of tax collectors, we left the port smoothly, but the port city is not so big, and different from the main game map, the environment here is closer to reality. Although there are many port cities in the map of the main game, those cities, unless they are small fishing villages, will certainly have a strong magic or mythological style. Anyway, the roads in the city are built very beautiful, and there are a lot of decorations, which all look like the dreamland. However, the port here refers to the environment of the real port city in the middle ages, and it is not a super large port, but a medium-sized port. Although it is a large area, the infrastructure construction can be described as a mess.
The disorderly stacking of goods in the port area and those wooden trestles that are not sure whether they are going to rot all look so dilapidated, but there are many people. If it wasn't because our people were too clean and strong gas field forced people around to stay away, it would have been hard to squeeze out of that place.
Out of the port, the city is not much better than the port area. Not to mention the narrow road, the black mud on the ground looks like a mixture of animal manure and real mud. It is not only disgusting, but also has a strange smell. When I walk with Zhenhong, the posture becomes strange unconsciously. The purpose is just not to throw myself all over the mud. As for roses and gold coins, Christina simply refused to go to the ground. In order that they could not step on these disgusting things, I had to call out the night shadow and let all three of them sit on it.
The appearance of the night shadow obviously made captain Donovan very responsive. Unlike the previous dragon, the basic form of night shadow is similar to that of horse, and people in this era can often see horses. Therefore, when seeing night shadow, Captain Donovan clearly began to light his eyes. Captain Donovan was envious of his tall body and the small details different from the real horse. The most important thing is the levitation ability of night shadow, which is the best mount for a captain. It is very inconvenient for captains to travel between ports with their own mounts. After all, horses are useless at sea and can't be launched. However, if you don't have a horse, it will be very inconvenient to dock in the port or non port area sometimes. So the significance of a flying horse captain Donovan is too great.”Is this your mount? What a beautiful horse Captain Donovan couldn't help asking.
”Yes, he's called night shadow, but he's not a horse, it's a nightmare,” I said, as I put Christina on the horse one by one
