Chapter 83 Bad City

After hearing my inquiry, Captain Donovan shook his head and said: "Originally, I planned to take you towards the direction of the Ice Continent first, and then turn around to look for a port when you see the edge of the continent. But now that we If the speed of the ship has increased, then we might as well take a short detour and go directly to a nearby port city to hire a pilot who knows Ruth, and then fly straight to the port on the Ice Continent. This is the fastest and safer way."

"Okay, then please give me some directions."

"OK."

After changing course we sighted the port within about an hour of flying. According to Captain Donovan, at their previous speed, it would take them about a day and a night to reach this port, but luckily they arrived in less than an hour dragging such a heavy warship. This speed is really exciting.

The battleship also caused a commotion when it landed at the port. After all, the battleship came from the sky and was pulled by two dragons. This was really scary. Fortunately, because the two dragons are pulling the battleship, everyone knows that this is a dragon that is friendly to humans. After all, those murderous dragons will not help you pull the ship, and it is almost as good as dismantling the ship.

The battleship landed outside the port, and then Plague and Lucky let go of the battleship and took off on their own. The battleship Xiao Longnu used gravity control on the ship to control the navigation. Anyway, it only sailed at a low speed when entering the port, which was very easy for Xiao Longnu.

Under the surprised gazes of a group of shipowners, the battleship automatically sailed to an empty berth without raising the sails at all, and then docked. When the ship's gangplank sticks out. The tax collectors on this coast didn't even dare to come forward to collect taxes.

Captain Donovan didn't have the slightest objection to this. In her opinion, she could just use our intimidation to improve the reputation of the empire. After all, this was the first time in those empires that dragons could be used to pull ships.

After the springboard was set up, several sailors came down first and began to fix the ropes, while Captain Donovan and I and her two adjutants stepped off the battleship one after another.

Seeing the tax collector on the trestle, Captain Donovan took the initiative to walk over, handed the tax collector a bag of gold coins, and said in the astonished eyes of the tax collector: "Please help us contact us about supplies. This is a reward."

The other party seemed to have been awakened. He suddenly reacted and enthusiastically said that it would be done well, and then sent us out of the pier like a pug. There are actually multiple reasons for the other party's attitude. First, this is a battleship, and it belongs to a quite powerful empire. And theirs is just a neutral port. Therefore, as the tax collector here, he is not qualified to offend the captain of such a first-class battleship. Especially since the other party is so young and female, this only shows that the other party's background is quite terrifying. In all likelihood, they are children from the families of high-ranking officials in the empire. The second point is that this battleship was pulled by two dragons. And it was still flying over. This is a symbol of strength. It shows that the other person is the kind of person who cannot be offended even if he is penniless. The last point is money. The gold coins Captain Donovan gave him definitely exceeded the supply and docking fees, and giving more money at this time meant that the rest was a tip, so the tax collector was so polite. I wish I could lie down and be the loyal dog of the other party.

With the help of the tax collector, we successfully left the port, but this port city is really not that big, and unlike the main game map, the environment here is more realistic. Although there are many port cities in the main game map, unless they are small fishing villages, they must have a strong magical or mythological style. Anyway, the roads in the cities are very beautifully built, and there are a lot of decorations. Look. It all looks like a dreamland. However, the port here refers to the environment of a real port city in the Middle Ages, and it is not a very large port, just a medium-sized port. Although its area is large, its infrastructure construction can be described as a mess.

The messy cargo piles in the port area and the wooden trestles that are about to rot, all look so dilapidated, but there are still so many people. If it weren't for the fact that our group is too clean and powerful. His aura makes people around him afraid to get close. It takes a lot of effort to squeeze out of that place.

After leaving the port, the city is not necessarily much better than the port area. Not to mention the narrow road, the black mud-like thing on the ground looks very much like a mixture of animal feces and real mud. It is not only disgusting, but also has a strange smell. When Zhenhong and I were walking, our postures began to become strange unconsciously. The purpose was simply not to get ourselves covered in mud. As for the roses and gold coins, Christina simply refused to go to the ground. In order to prevent them from stepping on these disgusting things, I could only summon Ye Ying and let all three of them sit on it.

The appearance of Night Shadow obviously made Captain Donovan react greatly. Unlike the previous dragons, Night Shadow's basic form is similar to a horse, and people in this era can often see horses, so when Captain Donovan saw Night Shadow, his eyes obviously started to open. Glowed. Yeying's tall body and the small details on his body that were different from a real war horse made Captain Donovan envious. The most important thing is Ye Shadow's levitation ability, which is really the best mount for a captain. You must know that it is very inconvenient for captains to travel between various ports with their own mounts. After all, horses are useless at sea and cannot enter the water. But if you don't bring a horse, sometimes it will be very inconvenient to dock in a port or a non-port area. Therefore, Captain Donovan, a flying horse, is of great significance.

"Is this your horse? What a beautiful horse!" Captain Donovan couldn't help but ask.

I helped Christina and the others onto the horse one by one and said, "Yes, his name is Night Shadow, but he is not a horse, but a nightmare."

"Nightmare?" Captain Donovan was obviously startled. "You say this is a nightmare? The kind of monster that can eat people?"

"Who told you that Nightmare eats people?" Ye Ying said suddenly, scaring Captain Donovan so much that he took several steps back.

"He can talk?" Captain Donovan asked in surprise.

"I told you he is a nightmare and not a horse. Is it weird that he can talk?"

Captain Donovan also responded, nodded and said: "That's right. That... I want to ask..."

"I won't transfer it." I interrupted Captain Donovan before she could finish her sentence. "First of all, Yeying is my partner, not a slave, so I will never resell him. Secondly, as a nightmare, Yeying is very aggressive. If you can't suppress him with your strength, he will He will not listen to you, but will resist you. Believe me, if you see Ye Ying in a wild state, you will not recognize him as a mount."

Captain Donovan is not an idiot. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what I meant. After all, the legend of nightmares also exists here, and she knows that this legendary creature cannot be touched casually, just like the giant dragon before. Although they are helping us pull the ship seriously under my command, if they defeat the wild dragon, their fleet will not be enough to defeat it.

"Okay, don't think about the mount. If you can safely send us to the Ice Continent, I can give you a mount that suits you. I guarantee that it is the most suitable mount for you."

"What kind of mount is it?" Captain Donovan asked with eyes shining.

“Keep it a little surprising,” I said. “You’ll see. It’ll definitely suit you.”

In fact, what I plan to give to Captain Donovan is a monster called Jade Beast. This thing is not a monster, but a monster, but surprisingly, it has a good personality and will not attack species with unexpected recipes. Their food is all kinds of fish, so they are quite safe for humans. This creature is much larger than a horse. Its body alone is nearly two meters long. Behind it is a tail nearly four meters long. In front is a neck more than one meter long and a head five or six times the size of a horse. head.

The overall shape of this creature is a bit like a combination of horse, tiger and fish. Its head and neck are like a horse, but its body and limbs are like a tiger's. Its tail is a bit like a dragon's tail. It is not only long, but also has a tail fin at the tip that can be extended and contracted. This guy's ears are not on the top of his head, but grow into two fin-like structures on the side of his head. The real ear holes are behind this. In addition, this thing is covered in scales, and there are some long velvet-like hairs on its neck and the tip of its tail. Moreover, this thing has many colors all over its body. It looks like a rainbow, very beautiful. Of course, this thing eats meat, and its limbs and body are similar to the structure of a tiger, so it not only has strong and powerful claws, but also has sharp fangs. Its combat effectiveness is not too strong, but it is better than ordinary beasts. Much more powerful. At least the sea beast they used was not as powerful as this thing.

In fact, the Jade Beast is just one of the common guild equipment for us. Our guild has equipped the navy with a lot of these things. The main reason is that these things are plentiful and easy to catch. They can become the player's best companions and can show very high combat effectiveness, and the most important thing is that they are actually amphibious creatures that are mainly aquatic. They have very good endurance and can move at high speeds in the water for a long time, even compared to most Mechanically powered ships are much faster.

As a captain, this kind of creature that can move at high speed in the water is naturally the most suitable mount for Captain Donovan, not to mention that this thing is not slow after landing ashore, at least much faster than a horse. He is not far behind a cheetah, and he has good endurance. He can sprint at full speed for more than an hour without stopping.

After finishing Captain Donovan's dream, we officially hit the road, and our destination was a bar here. It is said that at this local part-time job recruitment center, you can go there if you want to find someone. Except for the captain who cannot recruit, there are as many seafarers as you want at all levels. As long as you have a lot of money, it won't be a problem to get two or three ships full of sailors at a time. (To be continued...)
