Chapter 1,382 The Decision to Land on the Island

Refuse?

In fact, it seems that there is no need to refuse. Putting aside his own troubles, it is not unattractive to Lin to go to Long Island to see things.

Although I have encountered several giant dragons, I even have an old dragon at home. But the understanding of dragons is still dominated by the established stereotypes. The others either killed each other when they met; or else, like the black dragon Augustus, he was like an outsider dragon in the clan and did not represent the general phenomenon of the dragon clan.

Besides, as I am now, I don’t have to worry about being surrounded by the dragons on the island after landing on the Dragon Island, and becoming the prey of my opponent. Not to mention the issue of whether to fight or not, with the flash technique, whether you want to run or hide and seek, it is not a big problem.

It would be even better if I could find a few friends from the dragon clan on Dragon Island to solve my troubles. Someone has not yet reached the stage where he has no worries about his debts. It must be a good thing to be able to focus less on his opponents.

Even if the talks really break down, I can summon a fleet of robots to clear the ground! Things can be solved as well. It's like the result of every time the White Sword Master goes to find someone to 'have a good talk'. A famous saying from my hometown: If you can’t solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem.

As for the possibility of losing the robot fleet, Lin didn't think about it. My original agreement with the robot was to fight five times, regardless of winning or losing. Even if all the robot fleets from the Earth Elemental Plane were sent out, Dragon Island would still be defeated. Is it possible that Dragon Island would still be intact? Wouldn't it be easier to clean up the mess by myself?

It would be better if the robot fleet was defeated by Dragon Island and Dragon Island's strength remained intact. Escape home and get some sleep, and stop thinking about challenging this force that can push back the robot fleet. I can't beat the trump card in my hand, so I really want to slowly kill one dragon after another?

As for the attitude of the robots, to be honest, even if they are completely wiped out, they will only return to the earth elemental plane, not a real heavy loss. So I won't fall out with someone over such a trivial matter. Speaking of which, the elemental elves can be said to have been invincible in Lost Land for a long time, and there is no reinforcement more shameless than this.

From the above, it can be seen that there seems to be both advantages and disadvantages to going to Long Island to take a look at this matter. But running around like a headless fly will definitely not work. So Lin asked again: "I basically agree with going to Dragon Island. But do you know who we should go to after we go to solve the problem?"

William looked innocent and said happily: "After we go up, just ask while walking around."

Brother, are you really not aiming to kill the island? Lin sighed helplessly and said: "You'd better go back and ask your father first to see if you can find his backer first to find out the information, or if there is anyone suitable to come forward to make peace. You don't want us to be in a situation where we don't know anything. I just rushed to Dragon Island, and ended up dealing with the giant dragons that came over, and I didn’t have to do anything else."

"Ah, this is really bad. I'll go back and ask." William changed his mind.

"Let me ask you again, how do we get to Dragon Island? I have never been there, and I don't know the location. The Flash Technique cannot reach it." In fact, it is still possible. You just need to spend some time searching. But Lin didn't want to waste this time, so he asked.

"My family has a ship going to Long Island in the next two days to transport a batch of livestock used by the empire to trade with Long Island. It will set off from the Port of Azores here. We can just go with this ship. And I heard that other families Someone is eyeing my cargo, and I promised my father that I would help him guard it this time. We will be just like other ships carrying private cargo, and we don’t have to be crowded in the same cabin with a bunch of cattle and sheep. "

The Karlsruhe Empire has a naval fleet, which is not powerful, but just has an organization. In fact, this is also the current situation of all countries in Lost Land. Countries that are close to the sea do not deliberately build a navy.

Because the monsters in the outer sea, such as Kraken, King Squid, etc., are all extremely huge. The ships produced by the current shipbuilding technology are like toys compared with those legendary sea beasts, and they are vulnerable. In other words, no country in the Lost World has the capital to explore the outer sea.

The Dragon Island route is barely considered a safe route because of the giant dragon patrolling it. In fact, most of the Dragon Clan suffered a loss when they encountered those legendary sea beasts. Because there are not many dragons that are adapted to fighting in the water, the dragon clan still focuses on air combat and land combat.

Because the empire's navy is not large, it is of course impossible to have merchant ships or transport ships. When it comes to transporting supplies to Long Island, civilian ships are directly recruited and landed on the island under the escort of the navy.

The conscripted merchant ships must provide ships, personnel, money, and strength to serve the empire for free. However, it was tacitly agreed that merchant ship owners could carry some private goods and trade with Longdao privately. This incentive is huge. As we all know, magic materials with the dragon prefix are all high-priced treasures. And dragons all like shiny things.

Therefore, there are so many fleets rushing to be recruited by the empire that they have to compete for the chance to serve the empire for free. As for the scale of the private cargo, it was initially only a little bit in the captain's cabin, but now it is simply one or two more ships.

As for why it is not opened directly, it is because the gatekeepers of Dragon Island only recognize the fleet of the Imperial Navy. In order to maintain his authority and maximize his personal interests, the commander of the fleet strictly controls the size of the merchant ships escorted on each trip.

Besides, the low risk of the Longdao Channel does not mean that there is no risk. In addition, this is going out to sea, which is completely different from inland river navigation. If the merchant ships are not up to standard and the caravans are not strong enough, they may lose the tributes prepared to be transported to Long Island. Therefore, no matter how much bribes the fleet commander receives, he will not dare to let unqualified merchant ships go to sea.

This is why families who want to run the Dragon Island Channel must compete in a cruel way that is almost killing each other. In addition to defeating competitors, you also need to show your strength in front of the commander.

It's just..." Considering what we are going to do and what we may do, do you think it is okay to use your boat to go to Long Island? Aren't you afraid that after the incident breaks out, your boat will be angered by Long Island. Then we will run If you run away, your family's situation will be difficult to deal with."

"Ah, will that happen?"

elder brother! Feelings say you haven't even considered this. It is this kind of people who are responsible for excavation but not filling, and are responsible for killing but not burying.

But this time, William spread his hands helplessly and said: "If my boat is not suitable, there will be no other boats in the short term. And you can't find anyone willing to go to Long Island alone. Even if the boat goes by Cheng, we can help deal with some sea beasts; but if the ship owner is not willing to wait for us at Long Island, he will have to come back alone. It is too dangerous to operate a single ship at sea. "

"Do you know when the next fleet, which is not yours, will leave?" Lin asked.

"The fleet to Long Island is about once every half a month and does not necessarily depart from the Port of Azores. After all, it takes time to wait and collect livestock from all over the country as tribute to Long Island. But other families I have no idea about the matter. Unless I ask my father, he may be able to get some information, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. If you miss this trip to my home, the next one will probably be half a year later. Listen to what I said The uncles said that it takes time to digest the goods traded from Dragon Island and purchase the goods that can be traded with Dragon Island. No family can monopolize these benefits."

From William's description, taking his family's boat to Long Island is the fastest way. This is in terms of time, not the length of the voyage. You may not be able to find another family's ship; even if you find it, to be fair, the other party may not be able to trust you to get on board. So if you want to take another boat, you can only use the stowaway boat. Since we are going to cross the border illegally, why not just use the flash technique to break through...

Then there is the problem of sea monsters in the outer sea, which is the biggest obstacle that prevents the land from entering the Age of Discovery. William must go with his family's ship, because he has promised his father to be a shipguard.

Moreover, it also involves the empire's tribute to Long Island and the issue of the imperial navy fleet. It is definitely impossible to adjust the itinerary according to one's own ideas. His face wasn’t that big yet, and probably William’s was too.

So William came to him, maybe he also had the idea of ​​​​letting him help. Anyway, if we are on the same boat, if we really encounter a sea monster, it is impossible for someone to pretend to be dead and not take action.

Compared with these problems, worrying about whether his family's fleet will be affected by his actions and be angered by the dragon clan is really a trivial matter. What's more, as long as William Greco, the famous white swordsman, is around, the Greco family will never be able to escape if they really want to pursue the case. And with his character, he definitely doesn't care whether the problem is exposed or not.

Do you want William to separate from you after landing on the island, and still have to hide? The former may be coaxed and there is hope, as long as a good reason is found; the latter is simply impossible to happen.

In other words, the "hiding and hiding" in this sword master's perception may be different from what others perceive. As long as you don't beat gongs and drums or swagger through the market, you can be considered hiding. Anyway, Lin had never seen this upright man doing anything petty theft.

As for whether it was the family behind the Sword Master who took advantage of this guy's personality to kidnap him onto the ship, then drugged him and kidnapped him to Dragon Island to receive his reward?

To be honest, this possibility is not impossible. But if William's uncles really dare to do this, it's not certain who will regret it.

Therefore, if you choose to go to Longdao to solve your troubles, William's proposal is actually the best option at this stage. Unless you plan to mess up, just ignore the threat of Dragon Island and leave after completing the mission of the Gold Coin Goddess.

But what should we do about the Empress’ side? Until now, that person has not yet given himself a sure idea of ​​what he wants to do.

If you think about it seriously, you can't rush the things at hand, and you just have a window period. I also went to Haggiri and the others to do research and pass the time. Then it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to Dragon Island and solve your troubles just to kill the free time at hand.

After making up his mind, Lin said: "I understand, I will go with you. But William, I still have to ask you to ask your family more about the situation on Long Island. After landing on the island, we Only then do I know where to start.”

"Don't worry, the elderly at home will be on the boat when the time comes, just ask them. And I also hope to find a qualified guide to help us introduce Long Island."

...This guy really just wants to play.
