Liang Lidong returned to the vicinity of the port. After a while, he waited for Emma and Alice to return.
Beautiful women were usually harassed, but it depended on the woman's strength. If she had a strong background or extraordinary strength, only an idiot would do such rude things. Therefore, although Emma and Alice attracted the attention of many people on the street, they were obviously two powerful spellcasters, so no one dared to come up and talk to them. That was why the two of them were able to successfully buy dry rations and some essentials for the voyage.
Of course, neither of the two women was stupid enough to carry the things themselves. They naturally hired two laborers to help them push the things on a wheelbarrow. Naturally, the one who paid was Liang Lidong.
The two labourers each received a silver coin, which was a pleasant surprise. Generally speaking, when they helped people carry things or transport things, they could get five copper coins for a trip, which was already a very high wage. A silver coin was equivalent to five dollars of business. The local tyrant threw down a hundred dollars and then said, "Keep the change!"
In fact, Liang Lidong was indeed a tycoon. Although he didn't have much money, it wasn't hard for him to make money with his Enchantment specialties and Magic Scroll Creation specialties.
Besides, he had the talent of Lucky Wealth. Even if he didn't have much money, he wouldn't starve to death.
After the two labourers left, Liang Lidong directly stored the dry rations and the necessary items for going to sea into his spatial backpack.
At this moment, the superiority of spatial equipment was once again demonstrated.
In the game, Mages who specialized in spatial magic had an unbelievable portable space that could even store the supplies of a thousand troops. Therefore, in the game, every player guild would definitely hire Spatial Mages with a lot of money. However, in reality, there were very few such Mages. This was because spatial abilities involved the understanding of space and time. There were very few people in the real world who had this kind of talent.
Liang Lidong was very good at spatial magic. Unfortunately, his Divine Noble class was a Warlock, and he couldn't strengthen his portable space ability. He could only grow according to the fixed path, unless he became a Demigod. That could explain the limitation of his bloodline on his abilities.
Therefore, to some extent, bloodline was a higher starting point, but it was also a restraint.
After gathering, Alice asked, "Are we leaving now?"
Liang Lidong shook his head. "No need for now. Let's rest for the night. Wait for them to contact us. "
Hearing this, Alice and Emma were relieved. For the two girls, the Blue Harbor was an excellent tourist city. The scenery was good, the sky was blue, the sea was blue, and there were all kinds of seafood delicacies. If they came to this place, they would spend a day or two strolling. That was a pity.
The three of them found a relatively clean hotel near the port to stay. Not long after they checked in, a dark-skinned man knocked on Liang Lidong's door.
Liang Lidong opened the door and examined the other party for a moment before asking, "Are you someone sent by the port's Study Official?"
The burly man lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Excellency. I have been entrusted by the clerk to come here. Now, in the entire port, only my ship dares to sail to Cambay Island quietly. "
"How much do you need?"
A trace of craftiness flashed through the brawny man's eyes. "Five gold coins, sir. Although it's a little expensive, I'm afraid I can't afford it. But I'm taking a big risk after all. Please understand. "
Actually, five gold coins was nothing to Liang Lidong, but he could feel the other party's greed. He had been dealing with NPCs for a long time. Although this brawny man looked simple and honest, in reality, he could see that he was a cunning guy.
"The clerk only charges two gold coins, and you dare to charge five?" Liang Lidong laughed and said, "Or do you think your status is higher than the clerk? I just need to reveal this to the clerk. Do you think you can receive similar business in the future? "
The brawny man was stunned for a moment, then said nervously, "Two gold coins, sir. I can't go any lower. If I go any lower, I won't be able to earn much from this trip. Instead, I'll have to pay for my sailors' wages."
Liang Lidong looked at the other party with a smile that wasn't a smile. His' Noble Temperament 'talent was activated. This made the brawny man feel guilty. Then, he slowly said, "Alright, no problem. I can afford two gold coins. We're going out to sea in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Will your ship be free then? "
"As you wish, sir!" The brawny man took a deep breath, bowed, and left.
It wasn't that Liang Lidong didn't want to part with five gold coins. In fact, from a player's point of view, five gold coins was already very cheap to rent a ship out to sea. After all, the sea was too dangerous. It wouldn't hurt to pay more.
But the brawny man was a greedy person. As long as you promised him a premium of five gold coins, he would definitely continue to take advantage of you. Liang Lidong was afraid that when they reached the sea, if the other party suddenly wanted to do something, then Liang Lidong could only use the teleportation array to return. That would be a waste of time.
But if he gave the brawny man a warning now, he would most likely be obedient and not have any ideas.
Of course, he couldn't be too oppressive. There had to be a limit to things, or it would backfire.
Since the matter of the ship was settled, Liang Lidong began to consider how to ensure his safety to the greatest extent.
Liang Lidong hadn't been to Cambay Island in the game … so there were no magic waymarks. Although he couldn't go, there was someone who could go and scout.
As an eagle, Joan Of Arc was very fast to begin with. Now she could directly use a magic scroll to cast instant spells. This seems to be the fighting style of the Knight King that Theodore mentioned. But from this point alone, we can't say for sure that the young man is the Knight King. "
The girl smiled. "Pine, if that person is the Knight King, then calling him a young man is very rude in itself."
Pine lowered his head and said with some embarrassment, "Indeed."
The girl stood up. "Pine, bring me my weapon and leather armor. Whether that person is the Knight King or not, he's not someone you can deal with. I'll meet him in person. Maybe I'll come to a conclusion. "
When Pine was about to go out, a soldier came in and reported on one of his knees, "Miss, a convoy has arrived. They claim to be from the Longman family of Winterwind. They say that they're here to meet you."
"The Longman family!" The girl found it odd. "We're not exactly enemies, but we're not friends either. Why are they here all of a sudden?"
Pine smiled and said, "It's most likely because of the new king's succession. Now that the nobles in King's City have begun to take sides, the lords of the border cities are naturally no exception. They control a large number of troops, so they will definitely be involved in the succession dispute."
The girl, Frey, snorted and said angrily, "But they can't come to us. Do they want to drag us down with them?"
"Miss, you're a Great Swordsman and a Master." Pine was full of pride. "Even if you're not interested in power, other people will regard you as a bargaining chip or an ally. It's perfectly normal. You can't avoid it."
Alas! Frey heaved a long sigh. She sat back in her chair and said, "That's true. They've come a long way. It would be impolite if I didn't meet them. Pine, I'll have to trouble you to meet them and bring them to me. "
Pine bowed and left the room.
That night, a splendid banquet was held in the mayor's residence. Almost all the influential people in the city were invited. The invitations were sent to Liang Lidong, but he did not go. After all, he had to make preparations for his trip to the island the day after tomorrow.
Late at night, Liang Lidong yawned and went to bed.
Joan Of Arc had already flown to Cambay Island. Because it was too dark for reconnaissance, it landed on a protruding pillar on the cliff and rested, waiting for the full reconnaissance the next day.
Everything went according to plan. Liang Lidong was sleepy and soon fell asleep.
In a daze, he found himself in that strange pink space again, and then he saw the half-naked succubus again.
"Why are you here?" Liang Lidong was shocked.
The succubus, who looked like the city lord's wife, smiled charmingly. "I didn't expect master to also be in Blue Harbor. This is really great."
The succubus licked her lips and walked forward. When Liang Lidong saw this, he immediately said, "Wait, don't worry, let's chat … Don't release your damn pink mist."
The next day, Liang Lidong woke up in bed. He shook his head and walked out of the room with his hands on his waist.
Emma came out from the opposite room. When she saw him, she asked in puzzlement, "Sir Beta, you seem very weak. Do you want me to cast a spell to refresh you?"
Liang Lidong was a little embarrassed. Last night, he had sex with the succubus, so his spirit, energy, and mind were empty. Let alone magic, even the god's strengthening spell could not be used. He could only wait for his body to recover naturally.
But from what happened in his dream last night, he knew that the wife of the city lord had also come to Blue Harbor, but he didn't know what she was doing here!
