Chapter 1093 Going to the New World

"Shuanglong Island has not been so lively for a long time."

Lei Lei stood on the top of the bridge tower of the Yukikaze, overlooking the bustling dock and sighed.

Thousands of people gathered here to load boxes of supplies onto ships. Viewed from a height, they looked like ants lining up in several columns. The shouts, howls and the rustle of the waves hitting the beach are mixed together to form the main theme before setting sail.

On the other side of the pier, there are various sailboats densely packed together, with freeboards touching freeboards. Tall masts rise one after another, like endless mountain peaks.

The flag fluttering on the peak marks the fleet's affiliation: Crescent Moon Bay, Sunset Island, Qianshui City... These chambers of commerce, which hold a pivotal position in the fjord, are now gathered here, just waiting for the moment to pull anchor and set sail.

The last time there was such a grand occasion was when he was twenty-two years old, when he gathered his team and marched towards the Shadow Sea.

"It's not just Shuanglong Island," Margery next to her smiled, "it should be said that the entire fjord has been stirred by the news you brought back. A seemingly worthless route has now become a hot focus - —Safe and stable, and with the opportunity to become real explorers, the new generation can be said to have been born in a good era.”

Lei Lei also raised the corner of his mouth.

He knew that the other party was talking about the Daqing Port route.

"As long as you find a new relic in the Endless Cape, no matter what it is, you can exchange it for a reward from the King of Graycastle." After this news was brought back to the fjord, it immediately caused a big stir.

The title of adventurer can be said to have great appeal to the people of the fjords. It not only represents fame, but also symbolizes wealth. However, it is not easy to discover new routes, islands or major secrets. It requires a lot of investment and may lose all your money or even your life.

The recruitment news of the King of Graycastle has changed everything. Going from the fjord to the Endless Cape is an extremely mature route, and the new seaport city of Daqing means business opportunities. Even if you go back and forth and find nothing, at least you can If you dump some goods, you won't lose money.

If you really find something good, it will naturally kill two birds with one stone.

What's more, the news made it very clear that these ancient relics are likely to be related to a huge secret about the three gods. As long as you can contribute to unlocking it, you will have the opportunity to obtain the title awarded by Graycastle - Lifetime Honorary Adventurer Home. Although Graycastle, as a land kingdom, is different from the Fjord Islands, this condition is an undisputed standard wherever it is placed. In other words, Fjords pay more attention to it.

After all, it has something to do with the three gods they believe in.

Just because the news brought back by Thunder was so attractive, a small number of people also raised doubts, but these doubts did not affect the enthusiasm of the businessmen to go south. The reputation of the King of Graycastle spread as early as when Chaos drinks and perfumes swept the entire fjord market. With more and more goods coming from the other side of the strait, and the increasingly common steam paddle steamers, the name Roland Wimbledon is often mentioned, and the concept of Neverwinter's incomparable wealth is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The establishment of the United Chamber of Commerce has strengthened people's confidence.

Since a big employer is the king of a country and a very powerful one, what's wrong with setting a higher price?

After the news spread, almost everyone who was still idle in the fjord took action, so that the islands were divided into two groups - the experienced and bold group tried their best to catch up with Thunder's fleet, while those who focused on stability Those who hope to have good luck will set sail to Endless Cape and try to get a good position in Daqing Port.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult for Lei Lei to imagine that a country across the sea could have such a big impact on the fjord.

You must know that such changes have only appeared in the past year or two.

"It's all thanks to you," he looked at the silvery skyline in the distance. "If you hadn't managed the Chamber of Commerce for me, I wouldn't have been able to devote myself to one adventure after another. Be honest. He said, apart from adventure, I don’t have any strengths, and I can’t even be considered a qualified father. I have left you with all the chores over the years, and I really owe you too much..."

"You should know that I am willing to do this," Margaery put her hand on the back of his hand. "Wouldn't it be too shameful to say debt to someone who doesn't ask for compensation? What's more, the voyage is about to take place. It’s better to say less.”

"Margaery..." Lei Lei looked back and met her eyes.

"Of course, it's not correct to say that I don't ask for any reward at all. Well...actually I still have some things I want," Margaery blinked, "So just think that I don't have any agenda. Don't I feel like I owe something.”

Lei Lei naturally understood what she wanted.

He had seen Lightning getting along well with her before in Neverwinter City, and he didn't feel anything was wrong.

Looking back now, he has already become accustomed to the other person's presence.

The strange thing is that no matter whether he faced a hurricane or a big wave during the adventure, he never hesitated at all, but in this aspect, he found it particularly difficult to speak.

Just as Lei Lei hesitated to turn over his hand to grab her palm, the first mate's voice interrupted the two's solitude.

"Boss————!" the latter stood on the bridge terrace, raising his neck and shouted, "The caravan is basically ready, just waiting for you to speak!"

Lei Lei coughed twice, "I heard it! I'll be right away!"

"Okay!"

He took a deep breath and looked at Margaery, "We're about to leave."

"Go," Margaery nodded with a smile, "Do what you do best, just like His Majesty said -"

"Well," Thunder continued, "—to the new world."

…

After walking down the tower and crossing the bridge, he walked along the deck to the bow of the ship and faced the people on the dock.

A burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly sounded from below.

Lei Lei waved his hand, "I think everyone already knows that the route we are going to take this time - so far, the farthest place the fjord has ever reached is the line of the Shadow Sea, but for the Whirlpool Sea, it is just the first step we have taken. We left home. This time, we will cross the Shadow Sea, cross the incredible sea line, and head to a more distant place in the east - that blank land that no one has ever set foot on!"

"I once saw an extremely vast land in the Shadow Ancient Ruins, which is no less impressive than the territories of the four kingdoms. Where is it? Could it be east of the sea line? This is extremely exciting. question, and this time we are going to find the answer. If it really exists, then the fjord people will completely say goodbye to the narrow and scarce land, and no longer need to worry about living space! At the same time, the wealth it brings to us may More than the total of all routes so far - this is why I welcome anyone with the ability to join: such a big reward, no matter how many people share it, it is completely enough!"

He paused for a moment, waiting for the crowd's shouts to subside, and then said, "But apart from the golden dragon and fame, what I want is another thing - that is, the fjord is remembered by history! The history books of the four kingdoms There are very few fragments that mention us in the fjord. There is neither a century-old family nor a supreme king in the fjord. It is far away from the mainland, like an isolated island, with almost no influence except for caravans."

“But this situation will not last forever. When we open up new fertile soil for all mankind and bring broad horizons that subvert common sense, history will forever record us and every explorer who embarks on a fearless journey! I hope you can understand that the significance of this expedition is not only for the present, but also for the future!”

"Raise the sails, guys!" Thunder raised his arms high, "Set sail to the new world!"

Countless hands below were raised, and the unanimous voice echoed through the sky.

"Set sail to the new world!"
