Chapter 47047: Drifting Bottle Harbor (Please read, collect, and recommend!)
A few days later, the floating bottle arrived at the harbor.
Since they couldn't catch up with the Apprentice on the South Coast, if they wanted to go to the Vysonna Islands, they had to come to the Piaopingzi Port to find a ship. This was the largest ocean-going wizard port in the entire South Coast Wizarding Domain, and ships could basically be found here on any passable route.
After some selection, Luo Xi finally bought a ticket for the "Return of the Kingdom", which could take her to Shell Beach, a station near the Vysona Islands. The Vysona Islands were not on the route planned by the wizard, and there were basically no direct ships. They had to go to the nearest destination and then find other ships or think of other ways.
A ship ticket costs 500 magic stones. There is no way around it. After the training period is over, many preferential benefits cannot be enjoyed. Ocean voyages like this can only be purchased at full price. 500 magic stones are already considered cheap. Ocean voyages have always been expensive.
It is not impossible to find cheaper ships in the port, but those are ships from some small wizarding organizations and chambers of commerce, and the safety factor seems to be not very reliable. After thinking about it, Luo Xi decided to give up.
The Kingdom Return belongs to the South Coast Wizard Ocean Chamber of Commerce, which is the largest ocean chamber of commerce on the South Coast. It is jointly funded by the eight major wizard organizations in the South Coast Wizardry. In addition, France from the Level 5 Wizardry is involved in the operation, so there will basically be no problems with safety.
Standing on the platform of the King's Return, Luo Xi looked at the large glass bottles on the distant dock that kept floating out of the port. Such a strange sight was rare.
Those glass bottles are wizard ships.
A wizard ship like the Apprentice, which is equipped with various facilities such as defense spells, space spells, and balance spells, is very expensive. Only a very small number of large wizard organizations can afford it. Most wizard ships are made roughly and cheaply.
For example, those floating out of the port now are just super huge glass bottles with stoppers. There is at most one balance spell placed in the bottle, and the protection depends entirely on the strength of the bottle itself. Some of them are powered by pets, some have power devices placed behind the bottle, and some use alchemical puppets.
Such wizard ships are very cheap to manufacture and maintain, and can be afforded by some small wizard organizations or even individuals. The safety factor is not low either. The bottles are made of magic crystals, and the protection strength is equivalent to high-level protective magic. As long as they do not encounter particularly high-level sea beasts, there is basically no threat. Many wizards go out to sea with bottles floating.
There is no way. The ocean in this world, like the Earth, occupies a considerable area. There are many very precious materials in it, some of which are closely related to the advancement of wizards. The ocean is something that almost every wizard cannot avoid.
"The boat ticket is so expensive. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone back." Nicole was still feeling distressed. She really didn't expect the travel expenses would be so expensive.
Luo Xi flicked her forehead with his finger and said, "What are you thinking about? It's just a boat ticket. With you as my companion, 500 magic stones are nothing. We came together and of course we should go back together."
Having said that, he was actually still very nervous. He had not thought in advance that the boat ticket would be so expensive. If it weren't for the 3,000 magic stones of royalties from the Magic Mirror Journal that came in a few days ago to replenish his wallet, he really wouldn't be able to afford even the boat ticket at this time.
Magic stone, magic stone!
Only after he finished his training and truly stepped into the wizarding world did he realize how much advantage he had taken in the past, and gradually he felt some of the survival pressure in this world.
He comforted her, "Don't worry, I will earn more magic stones in the future. This is nothing."
Nicole shook her head stubbornly: "It's us. I will also work hard. We can't rely on you alone."
Luo Xi changed the subject and pointed to the sea below the platform and asked, "Let's talk about something else. Aren't you looking forward to this magical means of transportation?"
On the sea ahead there was a railway track that stretched far into the distance.
Yes, the Kingdom Return is not a wizard ship, but a train that Rosie was familiar with before, a magic steam train.
The world is very big. It is okay for travelers to make short trips, but if the distance is too long, the spatial structure will be difficult to maintain stability, and the energy consumed will be astronomical. Long-distance journeys still require the reliance of magical tools, and the magic steam train is one of them.
This technology originated from the extinct Sigrama wizard civilization thousands of years ago. This powerful wizard civilization that once dominated the world once built many tracks in the world to facilitate wizards to travel long distances around the world.
Although Sigramar has perished, some of its technologies have been preserved. The Land of Falan is the best inheritor of them, and many magic tracks have been built in the new world to run trains again.
Hearing Luo Xi's words, Nicole also looked around curiously: "I've only seen it in books before. Can such a big thing really run in the sea? It looks like a giant snake-like metal monster. I'm really looking forward to it."
She stretched her head and looked toward the track across the sea.
"Huh?"
At this moment, she seemed to have discovered something, and pulled Luo Xi's hand and said, "Luo Xi, look over there, see if that is it."
Luo Xi turned his head and looked in the direction she pointed, only to see an apprentice wearing the same cloak as them, with the badge on his chest also from the Elemental Castle, and he was about the same age as them.
classmate?
Luo Xi took a closer look and felt vaguely that he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
Nicole warned, "Idiot, Joshua!"
Luo Xi suddenly realized.
It's no wonder that he was slow to realize it. After all, this genius had parted ways with them and went to the Inner Castle since he arrived at the Elemental Castle three years ago. Although Luo Xi had heard a lot about his deeds in these three years, he had never met him, so it was impossible for him to remember him.
“It’s really him.”
Nicole asked curiously, "Why is he here alone? Is he planning to go back to his hometown as well?"
"It should be."
Nicole couldn't help but gossip: "It's such a long distance, but the castle let him go alone without arranging any bodyguards for him. Could it be..."
"You finally realized that he's actually a fake, so you don't bother to protect him anymore? Hehe."
Luo Xi said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, he is a genius. Why does a genius need protection on his little journey? If he really meets someone who is blind and looking for death, wouldn't it be enough for him to fart and die?"
"Hehehe." Nicole laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
Maybe it was because they were talking too loudly, but Joshua seemed to notice something and suddenly raised his head and glanced in their direction.
The two of them lowered their voices quickly like thieves.
"Hush, he's looking over here."
"Don't talk."
Recommended period, I hope everyone will read it, friends who pass by will collect it, give some recommendation monthly tickets or something, thank you. (*^ω^*) (End of this chapter)
