Chapter 916 3-Party Contact

The sea is unbelievably vast.

Wider than the Whitewater River, wider than the Gorgon River, wider than any river or lake on land.

Byron stood on the high platform on the front deck of the "Curiosity", letting the cold sea breeze blow on his face, the unique salty smell in the sea blew into his nostrils, and the water body that stretched infinitely in the field of vision was undulating and turbulent in front of the bow. The sound of the surging waves, the sound of the wind, the mechanical sound of ships, and the chirping of unknown seabirds all surrounded him in all directions.

He glanced back and saw that the sailors were busy in various positions on the ship. There were technicians checking the connection between the magic wing and the upper deck mechanism. The Naga "philosopher" with deep melancholy eyes was The distant celestial phenomena were observed through some kind of magical device, and in the waves beside the ship, there were several beautiful and ghostly figures swimming in the water.

He suddenly remembered his experience as a mercenary in those years—it was something completely irrelevant to the scene in front of him, but it brought an inexplicable nostalgia in the heart of this half-way knight. He remembered those adventures in the jungle and secret realms. I remember those friends who followed me through many unfamiliar lands and were finally buried in unfamiliar lands...

When the sea breeze blew, he squinted his eyes, smiled and said to Viola, the Kraken standing beside him, "I originally thought I was a middle-aged man who pursued stability, but I didn't expect that I was still a little adventurous. "

"Humans have always been adventurous - you are not as powerful as the sirens, but you are more courageous than us, which has surprised us for many years," the deep sea witch with long blue hair said seriously, "but probably It's because of this adventurous spirit that you've grown so fast, and it's always full of variables."

Byron smiled, looked up at the sea in the distance, looked in the direction of the far sea, and said casually: "We have only taken the first step today... Detouring the land along the safe sea area is far from a challenge. Ocean, at best, is just testing the performance parameters of Curiosity, and if it really challenges the open sea... at least it has to be close to that dividing line."

"I discussed with the 'Philosopher' the plan to explore the high seas," Viola the Kraken, who served as a technical advisor, nodded, "Based on the experience of the Church of the Storms, we believe that human beings should start from two directions for their voyages to the high seas - one , is to remotely observe and avoid the already formed 'disorderly turbulence', one is to ensure the survivability and navigation ability of the ship when the disorderly turbulence suddenly forms out of thin air and envelopes the ship, and timely before disintegration Back to safe waters..."

Byron nodded earnestly: "It's very reasonable - His Majesty sent a batch of information to Beigang before, which also mentioned the importance of remote detection of disorderly turbulence, and how to survive in case of being involved in turbulence. , the former is actually good to say, now we have the help of Naga, they have the spell model of the Church of the Storms, the research department in the imperial capital has begun to try to reverse the analysis of related spells into equipment that can be used by ships, but the latter does not easy……"

Having said that,

Byron shook his head: "The children of the storm rely on their own fine perception of the ocean as supernatural beings, plus the blessing of 'faith power' to ensure safety, especially the latter, so that they can even be in disordered turbulence. Find those narrow safe paths under circumstances that current magic technology can't do, and we don't intend to build a belief in oceans and storms - although we all know it now points to the spirits of your race, try as much as possible. It is our basic national policy to avoid introducing theocratic power into the military and scientific research system."

"I hope your magician will have a solution, thicker armor, stronger shield, higher speed... These methods may help your human ships to resist the disorderly turbulence at sea," Viola said. He said in a hurry, "Of course, we will also provide some 'sea-monster-style' technical ideas, but those ideas may not be applicable to your terrestrial creatures..."

Byron recalled the previous discussion with the Kraken technical experts on "how to deal with the emergency in a shipwreck accident", and shook his head in disbelief: "When the ship is scattered, everyone will swim back... We really can't use this..."

Viola shrugged blankly—a move she had recently learned from Anthropology—and looked into the distance: "We're getting close to the port."

...

With the second whistle of the Curiosity, this huge and advanced steel ship began to slow down and adjust its bow, and gradually approached the port trestle of White Feather Port like a behemoth.

Paladin Huishanyan, who was standing on the trestle, looked up at the giant beast a little bit closer, a surprised and envious expression gradually appeared on his face, and then his already red nose became more ruddy, with a smile on his face and a beard. The decorative metal ornaments at the end all rattled with this smile. The temporary envoy from the dwarf kingdom in the western part of the continent said happily to his partner: "Hey! I want one of these things too - those 'Ceciles' are a bit capable!"

"I want to know how this ship moves!" cried another dwarf, "if the Cecilians would teach, I could give my nephew to their craftsman as an apprentice for twenty years! "

"Enough, your nephew has been given to others as an apprentice by you at least a hundred times under various excuses! If every time counts, he will at least be apprenticed for five hundred years - spare you. Nephew!"

"Quiet," Paladin Huishanyan immediately glared at the clan behind him, "We are standing here on behalf of Forge City, don't lose face in front of humans."

The noisy dwarf representatives finally quieted down, and Wenna Baizhi, who was standing beside them, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Dwarves, this group of optimists living in the extreme west of the continent are a very troublesome race, and although most of them like to nest beside their ancient melting pot, there are still quite a few dwarves who come out Their kingdom is running around the world, and the Ogre Tribe, which is adjacent to the dwarf kingdom, has the most dealings with these guys, so Wenna is also well aware of the dwarves' temperament - their innate optimism and adventurous impulse make them Dare to try anything, even in such a serious and formal occasion, there is no guarantee that these "messengers" who have been added in will not cause any trouble...

After all, the self-proclaimed "iron people" dwarves have never been dismissive of the red tape of the human world.

She withdrew her attention, looked at the magic ship that had been docked beside the trestle and was setting down multiple steps and springboards, and took a deep breath.

The dwarves were envious and surprised when they saw this, and she just felt a little suffocated.

She seemed to suddenly understand the means by which Emperor Gawain Cecil and the Sorcerer Legion he ruled settled a war and established an empire in a short period of time, and understood the reliance of all these great achievements, or rely on one.

She was a little fortunate, fortunate that the various races of the Ogure Tribal Nation chose to help instead of taking advantage of the fact that the civil war in the Cecil Empire was still unrest and the most difficult period, and fortunate that the gray elves of the Mosswood Forest have always used business and people. So she didn't have any conflict with this neighboring human kingdom, but in addition to being fortunate, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

But in the end, she restrained all the emotions that shouldn't come out at this moment, put all the thoughts behind her for a while, and after adjusting the muscles on her face a little, she showed the most suitable smile for the current situation.

Byron stepped off the springboard and stepped on the solid wooden trestle. Apart from his adjutant and a few personal soldiers, he did not bring anyone else—the siren and the technical advisors of the Naga tribe stayed on the boat or in the sea, They do not have to be involved in this contact.

The patriarch of the gray elf came over with a faint smile on her face. Although she was short like a human child, her face was a standard adult, and she exuded the calmness and bearing that a ruler of a clan should have. She stretched out her hand to Byron, and a slightly hoarse voice came: "Welcome to Whitefeather Harbor, General Byron - glad to see you all going well."

Byron also stretched out his hand - stretched out two fingers and "held" with Wenna's hand: "Nice to meet you, Ms. Wenna Baizhi. Today is undoubtedly a memorable day."

Then he turned his head and looked at the other aliens who appeared with the representatives of the grey elves. A dwarf in black armor and with a grey beard came towards him, like a moving, muscular Like a wine barrel made of iron blocks, the dwarf stretched out his hand to him, and said in a loud voice: "Paladin Huishanyan from the kingdom of dwarves, greetings to you, human, I bring greetings from the Forge City. You The workmanship of blacksmithing is really good.”

Byron was startled for a moment, but quickly understood what the other party meant: this was praising the cutting-edge experimental ship "Curiosity".

He laughed suddenly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to hold the other party: "Say hello to you - we received the news that the dwarf representative will also appear before we set off."

"Forge City is very interested in your 'restart route' plan," Paladin Huishanyan said carelessly, "Frankly speaking, your large mining machinery is a good thing, but unfortunately it can't be shipped to us, so we need to wear it. across the entire Ogure tribal country, and a ridge on the edge of our kingdom, but seeing this ship now, I don't think we have to cut through that mountain - the Anzu briefly used sailboats 700 years ago We did business with us, but unfortunately it was discontinued as soon as it started to pick up. After I go back, I will make a proposal to the Forge City Council to repair the port on the west coast..."

Byron took a lot of effort to finally pull his hand out of the opponent's palm. At the same time, he also deeply felt what the so-called "dwarf-style straightforwardness" meant.

The things mentioned by the other party are not actually in his mission plan today - the main task today is to conduct the initial voyage test of Curiosity, as well as to collect sea conditions and coastal data in the offshore area, in White Feather Harbor and Grey Elves, Dwarves The meeting of the delegates was more of a ceremonial contact to announce the success of Curiosity's first voyage and the official resumption of the route from Beigang to White Feather Port. As for further business plans and route development... that requires more Professionals will negotiate slowly afterwards.

He believes that Wenna Baizhi thinks so too, but the dwarf messenger in front of him obviously doesn't think so, and the other party's thinking has obviously expanded to how to repair the port on the west coast...

This gave him the feeling of facing Gawain or Rebecca—one with incredible foresight, one who dares to say anything...

But soon, he showed a smile - it is not a good thing to deal with such a straightforward representative. In all fairness, he prefers this kind of person, which is more than the seven or eight detours of those words, and it takes a sneeze Aristocrats and ambassadors from foreign countries are much cuter to quote from the scriptures...

The representatives of the three parties in the port chatted briefly, each with different thoughts. The entourage stood at their respective angles. The atmosphere of the scene seemed harmonious and harmonious. Cecil's official recorders also recorded the scene with a magic web terminal.

One image was sent to Mosswood Forest, and another image was sent to Beigang Hub.

...

"Curiosity successfully completed its first voyage and arrived at White Feather Port on the border of the Ogure Tribal Nation at 12:15 noon today. General Byron and the entourage of the ship met with the grey elf leader Ms. Wenna Baizhi and representatives of the dwarves at the port...

"The successful initial voyage of Curiosity marks that the route from Beigang to the northwest coast of the Ogure Tribal State has been opened. The empire's naval shipbuilding technology has been laid, and we will take a longer-term step towards the ocean...

"... It is planned to extend the route to the Dwarven Kingdom, and further extend to the southern part of the Ogre Tribe...

"In the foreseeable future, we may be able to establish further connections with the Silver Empire by sea..."

Victoria Wilder waved her hand, turned off the screen playing on the magic web terminal, and stood up from the sofa.

"It's really an optimistic forward-looking idea... The distance between White Feather Port and the Silver Empire is still far away," the Duke of the North said to himself, "But it's not wrong to be optimistic. The restart of the route is progressing smoothly. This trend, sooner or later, can be linked to the elves from the sea..."

The room was quiet, and Victoria looked up.

A maid stood not far from the room, bowing her head and meticulously waiting for the Duchess's orders, and the maid apparently neither understood nor responded to what the Duchess said to herself. Maybe not even listening at all.

"Hey... Maggie would at least be involved in the conversation if she was here." Victoria couldn't help sighing, her expressionless face showing some helplessness.

Just then, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

Victoria sensed the breath outside the door and said casually, "Come in."

The door of the study opened, and an elderly mage wearing a dark blue starry robe, with a dry and thin body, but a spirited face, walked in and bowed to Victoria: "Good day, my lord."

"Victor," Victoria nodded to her chief mage, "what's the matter?"

"The connection test of the hub core is completed," the old mage said, with a bright and proud smile on his face. "The data is perfect, you can accept it at any time."

(Friendly recommend a book, "Reborn Genius Midlaner Girl", which should also be written by a book friend. Emmmm... All in all, it's milky to sacrifice to the sky.)
