Chapter 364 363. Salute, It’s All a Tribute

As the first steel cruise ship developed and put into sailing, I don’t know if the original copywriting of this plot was a tribute to the [Titanic]. When this ship appeared in front of the players, it was from a series of missions.

The entire task chain is not difficult, but it requires collecting a lot of materials. The final reward is to make this steel cruise ship the player's private property.

At the same time, the background story introduced is also very simple, the first steel cruise ship.

The next plot is purely a tribute to [Titanic], which encountered a natural disaster during a certain voyage.

This kind of plot is so common that players who have obtained the Steel Cruiser can't help but complain that the game copy has nothing to write, so everything written is a tribute.

"Is that a ship?" Lilia looked at the giant steel beast floating on the sea and couldn't help but marvel, "It's so big, and a ship made of steel can actually move on the sea. What kind of craftsmanship is it made of?"

While she was sighing, Lilia found that Mo Cheng was looking at her, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Mo Cheng pushed up his glasses and said, "Nothing. I'm suddenly curious. At what stage does the Winterhold Comprehensive Academy of Magic teach the theory of material composition and decomposition?"

He didn't follow the students in class seriously, so Mo Cheng didn't know whether a mage's surprise about physics knowledge was considered a kind of ignorance.

"The composition and decomposition of matter is a subcategory of the theory of the classical mage's school of change. Lilia is not a classical mage, and only those who specialize in the school of change will take that theory as an elective."

"Oh, is it so?"

In a casual answer, Mo Cheng had no intention of understanding why only those who specialize in the change department would take elective courses.

"Let's go and find out which ships are going to the Kingdom of Bozeco. There are more ships on the dock now, so it's best to find someone willing to give us a ride in these two days."

Although Principal Muzer gave Mo Cheng a month to go to Napa Port, it did not mean that he could walk leisurely and slowly.

On the contrary, the journey to Napa Port is definitely not close. Even the fastest waterway will take about ten days by boat. This is based on the premise that there are no heavy rains, no big waves, and smooth sailing.

"correct."

Before Isabella and Teresa left, Mo Cheng also specifically warned, "Don't look for that steel cruise ship, it's unlucky."

As a steel cruise ship that pays tribute to the Titanic, Mo Cheng would not be willing to board that ship even if it carries passengers for free.

Although he really wanted to get on the ship, even if it really sank, it would not be a big deal to Mo Cheng. The ice element could completely freeze the sea under his feet and become a foothold.

But in that case, if something really went wrong with the steel cruise ship, then Mo Cheng would have to rely on his feet to run all the way to Napa Port on the sea.

Isabella and Theresa didn't know why Mo Cheng had such big objections to the huge steel cruise ship, but they nodded and said nothing more.

The group of people divided into three groups and went to the port to inquire if there were any ships that were leaving in the next few days.

In the tavern at the port, the sign nailed to the door is tattered and crumbling. I wonder if it will fall to the ground the next time I push the door open.

As soon as the door was opened, a loud bang was heard. Inside the tavern were mostly crew members dressed as sailors, who were drinking, gambling, and even fighting with tables and chairs.

"very noisy."

Lilia covered her ears. She had no mental preparation just now and almost jumped up in fright.

"Follow me and don't get separated, otherwise I'll have to knock down the entire tavern to find you."

He grabbed Lilia's hand and walked all the way to the bar of the tavern, where a person dressed as a waiter was wiping glasses.

"A mage and a cleric, a rare combination."

The waiter looked up at Mo Cheng and Lilia, then looked at the sun outside the window, "Well, it seems that I am not hallucinating because I drank too much. May I ask, distinguished mage and priest, what do you need to drink?"

"Milk or juice, the kind without any alcohol."

Mo Cheng placed the five silver lions on the bar and pushed them forward, "By the way, have you seen any ships departing from Napa Port or the Kingdom of Bozeco recently?"

The sum of milk and juice is not enough for a silver lion. This is obviously an intelligence fee. For the information about ships, the people who open the tavern in the port definitely know best.

After all, we can't expect the crew members to keep their mouths shut after a long voyage, taking money to vent their anger in taverns or even prostitutes.

It is faster to ask in a tavern in the port than to ask on a ship.

And many times, the bartender in the tavern can also act as an intermediary, introducing customers to captains who meet the requirements.

The bartender put away the five silver lions with his hands, and gave Mo Cheng and Lilia a glass of juice and milk respectively, as well as an extra plate of sliced ​​apples.

"If you want to go to sea, the nearest time is ten days from now. There is no one going to Napa Port for the time being, but there are quite a few going to other ports in the Bozeco Kingdom."

Hearing the bartender's answer, Mo Cheng frowned, "Ten days? Isn't there any earlier?"

If we have to wait ten days, Mo Cheng's rendezvous time, which is not very generous, will be compressed to the limit. If we encounter weather such as a storm on the road, the arrival time may be later.

Compressing time to the limit is not a good thing either for the task or for your own state.

"You should have seen that big guy outside the port, right?"

"You mean that giant steel ship? It's indeed very big. Does this have anything to do with me going to sea?"

The bartender smiled and said, "The big guys manufactured by the Weiss Shipyard just came back from the trial voyage the day before yesterday. They will do a public voyage in five days to test the performance. In order to ensure that there will be no interruption to the trip, all ships will be sailing in ten days." Then we can go to sea.”

"Keep the port closed to the sea for ten days?" Even Mo Cheng was surprised by this order. "Which idiot gave this order? Are the things around his neck decorations?"

"It's not an order, it's mainly a warning mentioned above. That big ship has many magic patterns and magic circles on it. The reason why the other ships stay in the port for ten days is not to prevent the wooden ship from interfering with the navigation of the steel ship. It's out of fear that the wooden ship will interfere with the navigation of the steel ship. Steel ships will cause damage to those wooden ships when they sail."

The bartender shrugged, "During the trial voyage the day before yesterday, there were more than a dozen ships that were close to that big guy, and the protective magic patterns on them ignited the sails and broke the oars. The two most unlucky ones sank directly. Fortunately, the ship sank. At that time, they were less than ten miles away from the port."

"So the other ships either set off yesterday, and the remaining ones who are still replenishing supplies also need three or four days to prepare, so the captains generously doubled the crew's vacation."
