Floating Devices
Castleton City The seaside at night is quiet and deep, with the sound of waves lapping against the rocks, and countless waves turning into foam.
The beautiful crescent moon is hidden in the clouds like a green gauze tent. The clouds in the night sky are very thin, and you can even see the wind circle formed around the moon.
Every time the wind circle appears, the next day will be windy.
At this time, the southeast wind is almost always blowing on the sea, which means that tomorrow will definitely be a good weather for sailing sailing. The sea breeze will drive medium-sized sailing boats to the highest speed...
Black Pearl On the deck of the seagoing ship, the aroma of grilled fish wafted out from the green plant shed on the roof of Ship Building.
Several friends Roy, Woods, Klayr, Moira, Sabrina were sitting at Ship Building On the messy chairs, there was a barbecue grill in front of Roy. The grilled fish on the iron net was constantly emitting grease under the charcoal fire. Roy sprinkled some seasonings on it, and the aroma instantly became stronger.
The top of this Ship Building has been converted into a flower garden by Woods. Originally, there were only some Light Flower here, but now besides those Light Flower, there are many other flowers, and even some vines have begun to spread to the entire Ship Building.
The most exaggerated part of the current Black Pearl is the main mast of the ship. The main mast was damaged in the battle and could no longer be used as the main mast. However, Woods used the Druid's 'resurrection' spell to make this dead wood sprout new branches.
Now this main mast is even integrated with the hull keel of Black Pearl. It can be said that the main body of this Black Pearl sea-going ship is a big and vibrant tree.
Even the Lookout Platform at the top of the main mast has grown a lush canopy, which can provide shade...
Therefore, although the Black Pearl has been stranded on the beach near the pier for five years, the ship has become increasingly new, and the entire hull is covered with wooden planks without any signs of decay.
Only Miss Tiffany usually lives here. Woods, as Chief Alchemist of Alchemy Workshop, usually lives over there at Alchemy Workshop, but returns to Black Pearl every two days to take care of the plants on the ship.
Miss Tiffany still goes to school at the Elf Academy, and occasionally goes to Alchemy Workshop to help out in his spare time.
Everyone's eyes were now on Roy, listening to Roy describing Empress Ivini Islands's naval battle...
Roy talked about taking the boat back to Castleton City in one breath, then picked up the water glass in front of him and took a big sip.
Klayr looked at Roy in shock. He thought that Roy had been rectifying the mines at Pagisto Plateau during this period. Unexpectedly, he arrived at Empress Ivini Islands with five thousand Half-Elf Warrior to join the naval battle.
"So lately you haven't been fighting Pagisto Plateau on Pattington Plane at all, but Empress Ivini Islands and Gray Dwarf Bandit?"
Roy spread his hands and said, "That's almost it."
Fortunately, he has two impressive wins.
Except for Klayr, everyone else looked at Roy with envy. Everyone thought that Roy was so handsome during this trip to Empress Ivini Islands.
But Klayr, who is Silver Moon Elven Nobles, knows a little bit about the inside story. He knows that Empress Ivini Islands's current situation is not as optimistic as Roy said. On the contrary, it is more like a meat grinder, constantly involving Elf Warrior from all over the battlefield.
However, after hearing that Roy was West Reef Islands behind Empress Ivini Islands, Klayr felt a little relieved. Moreover, after hearing that Roy had won two consecutive victories recently, Klayr said to Roy:
"What kind of material resources do we need from us?"
Klayr usually does not participate much in the daily affairs of Alchemy Workshop. He is only responsible for coordinating the goods going back and forth between Castleton City and Padesto City, and solving some things that Woods and they cannot solve.
For example, this time Alchemy Workshop sold all Magic Herbs and primary magic potions in the workshop to the human business group. It was Klayr who made the decision after asking many parties.
Klayr usually takes music courses at the Elf Academy, and also composes some music scores. Occasionally, he also participates in some performances in Castleton City. He is also very busy at ordinary times.
Hearing Klayr ask this question, Roy shook his head.
"Silver Pegasus Legion provides all supplies, so we don't need them yet."
Roy thought of this battle with Gray Dwarf Bandit, not only captured more than two thousand Gray Dwarf prisoners of war, but also harvested some Three-Masted Sailboat. Although the conditions of those ships were not very good, at least they were Three-Masted Sailboat! "By the way, I also captured eleven sailing ships at West Reef Islands..."
Roy did not mention Three-Masted Sailboat. Everyone thought that Roy only captured eleven Flying Fish Boat. Such small fishing boats are very common in Castleton Harbour.
Miss Tiffany was lying on the wicker chair, with long green algae-like hair hanging down like a waterfall along the back of the wicker chair. Her face was covered with a thick layer of seaweed mud. At this time, she suddenly raised her head and solemnly said to Roy, "This time I will go to Empress Ivini Islands with you."
"Ah? What about your course at the Elf Academy?" Roy asked.
"I only signed up for two courses this semester, one of which was Elementary Fire Magic. At the beginning of this month, the fire magic teacher told me that my Fire Element affinity was not enough, which means that no matter how hard I study, I will end up Elementary Fire Magic's final assessment!" Miss Tiffany said with some frustration, then she suddenly raised her head and said with a rich expression, "But I can help you, Roy, let me go to Empress Ivini Islands with you."
"If you really want to go, fine!"
Roy has no reason to reject Miss Tiffany.
"Roy, I want to go too!" Moira immediately wrapped himself around and pulled Roy's arm to act coquettishly.
"That's not possible. You have to complete this semester's courses. There is actually nothing interesting over there at Empress Ivini Islands. Compared with Castleton City, it is simply the countryside. You only need to stay for three days and you can walk around the entire island!"
Roy would never agree to Moira's adventure in Empress Ivini Islands, where there was war almost every day.
Sabrina sat aside and said nothing.
Roy didn't want to continue chatting on this topic, so he asked Woods:
"Woods, Alchemy Workshop How have you been doing these days?"
"Well, we have been refining primary magic potions every day for more than two months after opening. Since our Elementary Magic Herbs is relatively cheap, the material cost is very low. In fact, the biggest daily expense is the salary of the magic pharmacist and the rent of the workshop. The profit in these two months is almost the same as the expenditure." Woods said honestly.
"This time the human merchant ship arrived at Castleton City, and we reached a deal with them. All the nine thousand bundles of Elementary Magic Herbs and 317 boxes of primary magic potions that were backlogged in the warehouse have been sold. In addition, 20,000 silver ingots, 15,000 pieces of Tin Ingot, and 5,000 pieces of Mithril Ingot have also been sold to this human caravan. We should be able to make a profit."
Woods flipped through a parchment account book and introduced it to Roy.
Roy did not expect that there would be so many Magic Herbs. The magic potions and Metal Ingots were all sold to this human business group. He had no good impression of the human business group. Jefferson died at the hands of a group of human crew members.
"The transaction price of these materials has been determined. Klayr and I will go to the ship tomorrow morning to get the balance back." Woods finally said, "Roy, do you want to come with us?"
"Okay! I'll go with you guys."
Roy resisted the urge to slap his forehead and agreed.
These two guys sent so much goods to the ship, but they came back without settling the bill!
But then I thought about it, the merchant ship was docked at Castleton Harbor after all, so there was nothing wrong with Woods and Klayr making such a move.
Thinking that this batch of goods had almost emptied Padesto City's warehouse, and that some Magic Herbs in it belonged to businessman Augustus, Roy couldn't help but ask Woods: "How many Magic Crystal Stone can we get back this time?"
Woods looked at the bottom line of numbers in the account book, then smacked his lips and said, "Almost 180,000 Magic Crystal Stone."
Hearing Woods report such a large amount, Roy was also shocked. "So much?"
Woods said while checking the accounts, "Well! That's the amount. Nine thousand bundles of Elementary Magic Herbs sold forty-five thousand pieces Magic Crystal Stone. The other three hundred and seventeen boxes of magic potions also sold a full sixty-three thousand pieces. Magic Crystal Stone, and 5,000 Mithril Ingot were sold, and 50,000 Magic Crystal Stone were sold. Counting those silver ingots and Lead Ingot, there are exactly 180,000 Magic Crystal Stone!"
If more than 180,000 Magic Crystal Stone are exchanged for Kole, just a little bit is a small goal.
A year ago, Roy never thought that he would actually make so much money in Elven World.
After Woods said this number, Moira and Miss Tiffany immediately shouted...
The barbecue party in the evening did not last long. After everyone dispersed from Black Pearl, Roy carried a few grilled fish to the door of Potion Shop's home of Mrs. Winnie, not forgetting to visit his old friends here.
The next morning, Roy, Woods and Klayr met at the port terminal.
At this moment, the dock at the Castleton Harbour port is still full of various Wooden Boxs, and a lot of goods are constantly being transported to the dock. Roy can see that some Wooden Boxs also contain slightly higher-end Magic Herbss.
I didn't expect that this human business group would be so powerful, purchasing Magic Herbs at Castleton Harbour.
Roy and Klayr were busy here all day yesterday and were quite familiar with the situation at the dock. They took Roy directly to board a Great Sea Ship on the easternmost side of the port dock. There were many ropes hanging down the side of the ship. Many crew members were tied to the ropes and were using shovels to clean oysters and barnacles on the ship wall.
Walking onto the deck, Klayr took out a receipt, and immediately the crew took the three people to the captain's cabin of the ship.
There were several human warriors wearing Magic Inscription Construct leather armor in the captain's room. They gathered around the round table in the corner and were playing cards with great interest.
On the sofa in the rest area on the other side, there were several human businessmen wearing aristocratic costumes sitting there. They were sitting there chatting in a language that Roy could not understand.
When Roy, Woods, and Klayr were led by the crew to several businessmen, the businessmen immediately stood up and welcomed the three. Then the eyes of several human businessmen almost all fell on Roy, and they even looked at each other and communicated.
After Woods, Roy and Klayr sat down, a human businessman said something to Roy, but he should have said Grimm Empire Language. Roy didn't understand it at all, and looked at the human businessman with a confused expression.
"Sorry, I thought you were also from the Empire, so I couldn't help but greet you with Imperial Language!" The human businessman immediately switched to Elven Language to communicate with everyone. His Elven Language was very fluent.
It's not like he was mistaken for a human being by others once or twice. Roy is very open to this.
"It doesn't matter, I am Half-Elf, and I have lived in Castleton City since I was a child." Roy introduced himself, "The elves here call me Roy."
The human businessman quickly said, "My name is Alvin, and I am the director of this business group.
Yesterday, all your goods were put into the cabin and sealed, and there were no problems! Right now, we have two payment methods: the first one is the simplest. I can ask for thirty-six boxes of Magic Crystal Stone to be moved immediately, so that we can clear both money and goods.
Of course there is a second way of trading, which I think is more mutually beneficial to you and me.
Our business group traveled through the Endless Sea and came here with some goods. I suggest you pick some of these goods. I guarantee that these goods are of high quality and low price. We can barter, so please seriously consider it now..."
Recently, Woods has been communicating with these businessmen...
But at this moment, he hesitated, turned his head, glanced at Roy and Klayr, and pursed his lips.
"What goods do you have?" Roy asked curiously.
The human businessman's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Magic cloth, sculptures, oil paintings, jewelry, and some magic materials, Magic Inscription Construct and high-end Magic Scroll..."
Roy frowned, he was not interested in these.
He remembered that when he was at Pagisto Plateau, an old dwarf craftsman told him that over there at the Roland Continent, there was a very magical Magic Airship that could fly in the sky, so Roy casually asked, "Do you have any Magic Airship here?"
The human merchant looked at Roy with wide eyes, and then explained, "That thing is almost as big as this Five-Masted Sailing Ship. We can't bring Magic Airship here..."
When he said this, a human businessman next to him came over and whispered a few words to him.
The human merchant immediately became energetic again and said to the Roy trio, "Although we don't have Magic Airship on board, when we passed by the Dwarven Kingdom at the end of the New Syaqisi Mountains this time, we made some transactions with Stan Dwarf over there and bought something from them. I have purchased a batch of Floating Device, and these Floating Device are the power source of Magic Airship. Under normal circumstances, there are almost sixteen Floating Device installed on a Magic Airship. If you want these Floating Device, the price will also be at a certain discount..."
