Chapter 382 Seeking Truth from Facts - Qiao Erlang
“Xia, if you go to see Qin Mo now, it would be beneath your dignity. Your status is different now. You can’t keep thinking of yourself as his maid. After all, you’re not the only woman he has.”
Xiao Shia ultimately didn't go to Rome, because Audrey's last words struck a chord with her. She had no objection to being Qin Mo's personal maid, but she absolutely couldn't tolerate being overshadowed by Kaihime. She could tolerate not being able to beat her before, but now… hmph!
Shia decided to be patient for a while and wait until her parents met with Allen before making a decision. It would be wonderful if she could become a princess. As for her mother's later attempt to marry into the family, she would not force it. She just wanted to keep Kaihime under her control.
If she can't become a princess, it doesn't matter. Xia knows that Qin Mo is very soft-hearted. She can cry a little and strike some strange poses to please him, and still be his personal maid.
Prome and Debbie had no idea that their precious daughter had such thoughts; if they did, they would be furious.
The couple were only considering things from a parental perspective, seeking the best interests and happiness for their daughter. In their eyes, it was inconceivable that the Queen of the Sea Clan couldn't have a man to herself. If Qin Mo hadn't helped Shia awaken her powerful royal bloodline, Debbie wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
In Debbie's eyes, compared to Shia's status as the sea queen, Qin Mo's only redeeming quality was the special ability granted to him by his own bloodline.
Debbie and Promi crossed the desert and arrived at Suez City, a port city in the world of *****. A hundred years ago, it was a vassal state of the Sea Clan, and Audrey had always had a base here. After the Sea Clan appeared in the world, the Temple tacitly stopped its infiltration of influence into this land.
The couple successfully found a fast ship and headed towards Aden Port. Shia told them that they could find people from the "Great Yuan Development Administration" in Aden; they had ships that could take them directly to the Great Yuan Freshwater City, and Allen and the elves were nearby.
The Red Sea is an inland sea with relatively small waves and favorable navigation conditions. Because the local Sudanese do not allow foreign ships to pass through the Red Sea, the sea is full of Arab ships.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t need to take the boat at all. This boat isn’t even as fast as I can swim!” Debbie complained about the slow boat, but she couldn’t rush it, so she turned to complain to Promi.
"Then you go to Dayuan yourself, I'm not going!" In fact, Promi didn't want to go to Dayuan. Not only was the journey long, but if the sea race and the elves formed an alliance, the interests of the temple would inevitably be affected. He was very conflicted, after all, he was a devout believer of the temple, and the temple had given him a lot.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Debbie glanced at him dismissively and said something. She knew this person she loved too well. He loved her and Shia to the core. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited for them for twenty years in the place where they were separated.
Sure enough, Promi mustered his courage several times, opening and closing his lips several times, but in the end, he walked to the side without saying a word and drew circles.
After leaving the Red Sea, the speedboat turned left and sailed northeast for most of the day, finally arriving at the port of Aden before sunset.
"How come there are so many ships here?"
Looking at the densely packed masts and crowded conditions in the port of Aden, Promi asked Debbie in surprise. In his mind, even the most prosperous port of Naples in the West was no different.
Debbie shook her head and said, "I didn't stop in Aden last time I went back to the West, but these ships are clearly not the same style as the local ships. They must be ships waiting here for the monsoon to change."
"Monsoon transition?"
"Yes, in the ocean south of India, the monsoons and ocean currents in winter and summer are in opposite directions. Winter is suitable for traveling from India to Aden, and summer is suitable for traveling from Aden to India. Now it is late spring and early summer, so they are waiting for the best time to return."
Sea creatures are extremely sensitive to wind direction and ocean currents. Even at a young age, Shia could draw a simple ocean current map for Qin Mo. Debbie, having been imprisoned for decades on a small island thousands of miles south of India, naturally knew the situation of this ocean like the back of her hand.
Debbie's sailboat finally found a berth after a long struggle. After mooring, she looked to both sides and saw that the berths were filled with tall-masted sailing ships, all flying the same flags, clearly belonging to the same fleet.
The emblem on the flag features a crossed sword with an octagonal shield perched atop it, and an eagle resting on the shield, giving the entire emblem a powerful and imposing appearance.
This is the overseas fleet emblem that Qin Mo designed for the "Dayuan Development Administration". Of course, if people from Qin Mo's previous life saw it, they would probably shout: "Demacia!"
"Which chamber of commerce does this flag represent? It can't be that Development Administration, can it?" After landing, Promi looked at at least fifty large tall sailing ships with the same flag in the harbor and couldn't help but gasp.
“They…are all from the East, we’ll find out if we ask them!” Debbie had already noticed the sailors on the ship, and judging from their skin color, they were probably from Great Xia.
The people of Daxia are very hospitable, especially towards those foreigners who can speak the Daxia language, which gives them a strong sense of satisfaction and pride.
"If you two honored guests wish to purchase Da Xia goods, you may go to the 'Da Yuan Development Administration Bureau' ahead to make your transaction. We have already unloaded all our cargo, and the ships are filled with local goods, which are not what you need."
The captain was impressed with the two polite Westerners and pointed Debbie to a gray building in the port area, suggesting they go there to do business.
