Chapter 2 White and Blue Harbor

The huge pontoon slowly descended from the sky and landed in the bay. There was a wave of shaking and vibration, and the water splashed on the high side of the ship, moistening the dark gray quaint wooden shell. The pontoon then slid slowly towards the harbour and finally docked on the shore.

On the floating boat as high as a building, long stairs were lowered and fixed on the pier, and then the distinguished guests on the floating boat walked down slowly.

Lorraine Hill and Athey walked down side by side with the crowd, and Eidolon and Irene were in front of them. Over the top of Ye Ling's white hair, Roland Hill carefully looked at the scenery of Longquan Bay.

Unlike Luojing, which advocates vermilion and gold, the buildings here are mostly white. The square towers are like white trapezoids, which are stacked layer by layer. Only the eaves roof at the top is light blue.

The harbor is full of pavilions, towers and pavilions built of stone, and the colors are all white and blue. Although it is still oriental in shape, in terms of color, material, details, etc., you can see many elements of the Western Continent.

In ancient times, this was the phoenix of white feathers, the country passed down by Hu, and its customs and habits were very different from those in the Central Plains.

After walking down the stairs, several people entered this prosperous harbor. The streets were paved with exquisite white stone floors, flanked by laurel trees swaying in the wind, and a gentle breeze blew from the sea from time to time, passing through the crowded streets.

"You can see a lot of people from the Western Continent."

Roland Hill slightly shaded the sunlight above his head with his hands and looked at the passing pedestrians. Nearly all of them were western mainlanders with blond hair and chestnut hair. Some of them were wharf workers, some merchants driving carts, and some well-dressed wealthy people.

"Of course, little Lacey, this is where the East and the West meet." Athey wore a strapless off-shoulder dress today, which was very cool and beautiful. Although it is October, this seaside city is still warm.

Looking at Roland Hill's appearance, Athey seemed to be paying attention again.

"Let's go buy some clothes first, especially little Lacey, you have to get dressed up."

"Hey, what is this for?" Roland Hill was a little confused and blinked.

"It has to be in line with the identity. In the future, we will say that we will accompany the eldest lady of a certain chamber of commerce to return to our hometown, which will save a lot of trouble."

"Don't look at me like that. I'm an elf. It's not suitable for me to lead the fleet, because I have to deal with customs. Other procedures and diplomacy are more suitable for humans to be common and not attract attention."

...

"I still have to keep a low profile. After all, Irene's status is special, and even if it is at sea, she has to leave the Pearl Islands on the westernmost side before leaving the scope of the Plantagenet Dynasty."

...

"The power of the Shangmen faction Bibo Tianhaige in the sea is beyond your imagination, but they have many fleets of warships cruising in Longquan Bay and the Pearl Islands all year round, often fighting against large sea beasts, attacking any pirates that appear, and maintaining the order of the dynasty at sea. ."

"Even the powerful Sequence 7 sea beasts were killed and defeated a lot during the cruises of these fleets, so we had better not hit hard. Just leave the Pearl Islands and enter the depths of the sea."

Several people were walking on the street and talking, so Roland Hill understood why Athey asked herself to lead the team and come forward.

It seems that she will be going back to Lacey for a while, the girl thought to herself, and then raised her head, some familiar names on the street signs came into her eyes.

Aroni Chamber of Commerce, Tarsus Chamber of Commerce, Dayas Chamber of Commerce... These are all large chambers of commerce in Verga in the past. I didn't expect that they still have branches in this far east. However, it is normal to think about it. After all, the route between the East and the West can bring huge profits, and there is no reason not to make this money.

It is a pity that although the Karites Chamber of Commerce is prosperous, it is too young after all. Only the accumulation of Angus' generation has not been able to extend its tentacles to this far east. If there were, it would save a lot of trouble.

Under the guidance of Ai Tessie, a few people walked through the long white stone street and came to a slightly remote and quiet courtyard.

After knocking on the door, an elf wearing a light green and white dress opened the door, opened the door and peeped. When he saw Athey, his eyes lit up and he opened the door.

"His Royal Highness, you're back!" She jumped out a little, hugged Aetsy, and her blond single-tailed hair collided with Aetsy.

"Huh, Avra, it's been a long time." The two embraced and talked for a while, and then the elf lady asked Roland Hill to go in together.

The courtyard in the afternoon was very quiet, with only a few elf maids standing by.

"This is an estate of the forest elves royal family in the east. It is generally used to accommodate people who come and go." Ai Tessie explained in a low voice, and then let a few people sit at a white round table in the grass.

A wide and delicate white parasol blocked the dazzling sunlight, and Aphra brought black tea in porcelain and poured it for a few people.

"There are more than 20 elves who went back with us this time. Most of them are good, but they don't know much about sailing at sea. They can be fighters on ships, but it is difficult to be seafarers."

"The sea boat I ordered can carry 40-60 people. If there are more, the living space will be reduced a lot, and the food reserve is estimated to be insufficient."

"So we have to recruit 20-30 crew members, and we have to do the paperwork for sea passage, which will trouble little Lacey."

"I see."

Roland Hill nodded, but his thoughts drifted to those big chambers of commerce that Verga knew in the past. Maybe this time I can find an acquaintance.

"Well, it just arrived today, should we rest first, or should we

Just go shopping for clothes? "Aetsy seems to be very interested in dressing up Loren Hill.

"Go buy clothes first~" Ye Ling raised his hand high at this time. This little guy is full of energy. It should be said that he is indeed a dragon.

"Okay, then let's go to the street first." Roland Hill also nodded.

After a few people put the salute, Roland Hill changed his hair color to the former golden color, and then went out with Athey, Eidolon, and Aphra.

The elf Aphra is very familiar with the local area, so she will naturally lead the way. As for Irene, she said that she should not show up and stay in the courtyard to rest, waiting for a few people to return.

The seabirds with white feathers and red beaks flew over the street in the sea breeze, and there were bursts of long chirps, and the faint fragrance of laurel was also permeated in the warm wind.

"Huh, it feels great!" Ye Ling opened his hands and trotted along the street, occasionally jumping up slightly, feeling the wind blowing by his ears.

"There are quite a few shops selling clothing here." Aphra introduced Athey and Roland Hill.

"How about going to this place?" Aetsy said, pointing to a shop selling aristocratic dresses, her eyes full of excitement.

"Alright alright."

Although not interested in such a luxurious Lolita dress, Loren Hill was led in by Athey.

It seems that it is inevitable to make dolls for a while today. After entering the store, looking at the dress made of complicated lace, Roland Hill is ready. But this time she wasn't alone. Roland Hill looked at the cheerful Yeling in front of him and shouted softly.

"Ye Ling also come and try on the clothes."

"Huh?" Ye Ling turned his head, his pupils seemed a little ignorant, and then was caught by Roland Hill.

"Oh~ I'm already an adult, don't dress me in children's clothes."

The little guy struggled, and then put on various skirts to try on amid the laughter of the crowd, and there was a little more cheerfulness in the quiet shop in the afternoon.
