Extraordinary Sailing

early morning.

Ivan was enjoying a sumptuous special breakfast alone in a high-end restaurant in the city of Nisk.

A plate of toast with tomato, two fried sausages, a piece of pear cheese cake, beef cheese scone with shredded olives, and a cup of coffee with milk called macchiato by the locals.

From time to time, I looked up to admire the scenery and tourists outside the window, and the other hand was still subconsciously playing with the "golden compass" handed down in my family.

Although in the previous dangerous situation, because of being directly trapped, this "golden compass", which claims to be able to guide the ship to the most feasible way of life in any dangerous situation, has not exerted the slightest effect.

But it does not prevent Aiwen from hoping to further explore the secret behind it in his spare time, and he will take it out and observe it in various scenes from time to time.

Of course, so far it's still nothing.

After returning to the voyage this time, the "Storm Horn" reported the experience of encountering the "Black Embankment" and a large group of alien lizards on it at sea.

Although the possibility of continuously encountering such supernatural disasters is extremely small, in this critical period of dealing with the possible attacks of "octopus ghosts", the garrison commander, Major General Coverdale Drew, cannot turn a blind eye.

Temporarily mobilized four fifth- and sixth-tier warships from nearby naval bases to join the cruise mission.

As a result, the warships currently performing missions in Nisk Water City have formed a fleet structure consisting of two tier-four battleships, Aiwen's "Storm Horn" and Solomon's "Royal Guard", and 12 cruisers as supplementary.

This scale of defense is extremely luxurious for offshore defense!

After all, even if it is the third largest military port of Phalitis "Gabred", plus the warships returning to the port for repairs, the highest standard of defense configuration is nothing more than that.

Originally, the sea had never been the focus of the high-level defense plan. Later, with the increase of ships, the cruise mission of Aiwen and the "Storm Horn" became much easier.

At the same time, I have more time to do my own things.

For example: the contract between the "Wild Talisman" and the little lizard "Kaka" has been completely completed.

It's just that Bess, who has always regarded himself as the number one pet under Ivan's seat, was a little unhappy when he found out that a job grabber suddenly came.

Thinking of "Kaka", Aiwen cut half a fried sausage from the plate and put it in the shadow under his feet. A dark mouth popped out suddenly and swallowed the sausage in one gulp. The shadow squirmed slightly, and returned to normal after a while.

After the contract, in order to cultivate intimacy, Aiwen directly raised "Kaka" in his shadow. [Shadow Transformation] This skill is just like breathing and eating for "Kaka" who is a "Shadow Lizard". as simple as that.

After feeding, the moment he raised his waist again, Ivan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Looking outside through the glass of the restaurant, a beautiful girl in a warm yellow dress with a portfolio on her back walked gracefully in front of her.

Can't help but blurted out a beautiful name:

"Miss Venia!"

"Huh? Ah! It turned out to be Mr. Aiwen!"

The beautiful girl in the gauze hat turned around, a look of surprise flashed across her face, she looked at the young man in a white shirt through the window, her pink lips curled up with a smile in her eyes:

"What a coincidence! I just wondered if I would meet Mr. Aiwen again when I came out to sketch today."

Aiwen was deeply impressed by the girl, and also smiled and said:

"Hahaha, I'm also very surprised. Has Miss Venia eaten breakfast? If you don't mind, please come in and sit together."

The other guests in the restaurant were about to frown when they heard the undisguised conversation between the two because of unexpected surprises.

Then I saw the beautiful girl who had already opened the door and walked in, and the handsome young man who had stood up and welcomed the lady into her seat very gentlemanly.

The two young men and women with excellent appearance and temperament, who could even be called extraordinary and refined, immediately dissipated the slight resentment in their hearts.

well! This society where good looks dominate is so realistic!

"Waiter!"

Ai Wen thoughtfully called the waiter and served a breakfast for Vinia.

Strawberry cake, creme brulee and a glass of hot milk.

"Thanks!"

The girl thanked Ivan very ladylikely, and took a sip of warm milk gracefully.

"You're welcome, please use it."

The two chatted while eating. Last time, Aiwen was very curious about the background and experience of this seemingly well-born girl. At this time, he could no longer restrain his raging thirst for knowledge:

"Miss Venia, last time you said that you have traveled to many places in the mainland, can you tell me about any special experiences? And last time you promised to tell me where your hometown is."

The girl forked a piece of strawberry cake into her mouth, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Obviously, the sweet and soft taste of the pastry made her very satisfied.

Well, beautiful people are so pleasing to the eye even when they eat.

"Well, how should I put it, my hometown is a place where even such exquisite food is rare.

My constant travels across the continent stem from two purposes.

The first one is that I hope to learn the best knowledge from various countries and bring it back to my hometown, and I want to help the hardworking and intelligent people there. "

Hearing this, Ivan admired from the bottom of his heart:

"Miss Venia, you are a great person. As a pioneer in spreading the torch of civilization, the people in your hometown will definitely thank you for everything you have done for them.

And I have a suggestion. After all, a person's energy is limited. Your country can send a group of students to study in colleges in various countries every year. I think countries don't mind losing basic knowledge if the price is right. "

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Hehe, this is what I should do, and I will consider your suggestion.

As for another purpose of my visit to the mainland.

It is to find the most fundamental reason why the civilized country is so strong that it can fully colonize the known exploration territories of the southern continent, the most eastern Peacock Islands, and the New World. "

With that said, Venia stared at Aiwen with her beautiful eyes, solemnly with a trace of hidden aloofness, and said with some appreciation:

"Mr. Ivan, I want to thank you, I think what you said last time is the answer I have been looking for.

Even your words are recorded long ago in the history of the Old World.

The ancestors of the Niemensters who now rule the blond race in the Old World were nothing more than barbarians living in bitter cold regions long ago.

It's just that they used brute force to defeat the "civilized" people of the Holy Lothar Empire in that era, and they became the masters of this era, and they have slowly developed and grown to this day. "

"Ah, this one, you already said thank you last time.

Everyone's understanding is different, what I said is just my opinion, not necessarily correct.

It would be great to be of help to you. "

Ivan took a sip of his own Macchiato, and didn't feel that he could be worthy of a girl's repeated thanks. On the contrary, she was a little surprised by the rise of the Niemanster race in her mouth. This kind of history is something that even as a wizard, she has never had the opportunity to understand it.

I became more curious about the origin of the girl in my heart.

"As a thank you, I will tell you about an unforgettable and meaningful experience I had and where my hometown is."

While talking, the girl glanced at the "Golden Compass" that Ai Wen casually placed on the dining table, and continued:

"It could be very useful to you!"

Keenly noticed the girl's eyes, Ai Wen's eyes froze instantly, and his voice raised unconsciously:

"You know this compass?!"

This glance has connected all the doubts in Ai Wen's heart together, slightly guarded:

"That's right, you also said that you are from the other side of the sea, and the mysterious person who made a deal with the Garriott family also claimed to be from the other side of the sea.

Is that the Southern Continent or the New Continent, but

The legendary "Golden Kingdom", the abode of gods that no one has ever visited? ! "

Facing Aiwen's series of questions, the girl was not in a hurry to answer him.

I just glanced at him lightly, and the pressure in it made Aiwen, who was about to jump up, froze. Realizing that this Venia was not easy, he didn't dare to act rashly again.

As if he didn't notice the sudden change in his face, he continued to taste the creme brulee in front of him slowly, before speaking again:

"Mr. Ivan, you guessed right.

My hometown is the legendary "Golden Country" where gold is everywhere. However, it is not that no one has ever arrived. Do you want to know where it is? "

"this"

Ai Wen was at a loss for words for a while, he only knew the other side of the sea, but there were too many other sides for the Old Continent.

Not to mention that he is just a sorcerer's apprentice, even the most knowledgeable scholar in the world can only know the name "Golden Kingdom" and its most famous and controversial legend - gold everywhere!

If you find the "golden kingdom", you can easily get the gold to buy several kingdoms.

About that magical country, there are many such magical legends, and it is impossible to tell the source, or even whether it is just fabricated by the communicator.

However, even though the age of great voyages has been opened for two hundred years, no scholar or adventurer has claimed to have reached there so far! Everything about it is a mystery to humans!

“Let me tell you about an experience that meant a lot to me.

In fact, at the beginning of the Age of Discovery in the Old Continent, the legend of our "Golden Kingdom" was circulating among the adventurers.

But like I said, it's not like no one has gotten there.

In fact, as early as five years ago, the first human adventurer from the Old Continent landed on the territory of the 'Golden Kingdom'!

And I just received him. "

When she really started to tell him, Venia no longer had the appetite to tease Ivan, and told the story of the "Golden Kingdom" without him asking:

"At that time, in fact, we hadn't left the 'golden country' for nearly a hundred years.

Their arrival made us finally realize that the pace of human exploration is faster than we imagined, but in about 200 years, they have overcome all kinds of treachery and terror in the sea and come to us.

Even if they were just pioneers, special cases of special cases among humans

The adventurer and his wife told us a lot about the changes in the outside world, the territory of human exploration, the latest technological inventions, the vast territory that has been colonized, and the major events that have occurred in the past century

Let us finally realize that the outside world has changed drastically.

So, there is my travel journey. "
