Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1051
Hearing Niya's answer, Xia Duo couldn't help being a little silent.

That's right, Niya was raised by Lord Epps in the mage's tower since she was a child. Even though she can see distant scenes through magic, and even endless strange illusions, she doesn't yearn for the real world outside. , then Xia Duo was the first to not believe it.

Even he himself has just been to the sea once!

There was also the previous encounter with the Lake Mecht murloc incident, where he could have teleported back to the Tower of Time directly from Severton, but he still chose to return by boat.

This may be due to scouting the map along the way, but it is more likely that he wants to see the scenery outside the southern border.

In fact, in a sense, Niya, a local, may not know as much about the current world as Xia Duo, an outsider.

This can't help but make him feel a little sympathy for Nya and countless other Nethers.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo once again came up with the idea of ​​driving the floating city to travel around the world, but for now, let him accompany Niya around the Narrow Sea first!
With an idea in mind, Xia Duo no longer had any doubts in his eyes when he looked at Niya again, but with some encouragement. However, he still has a few questions about renting a boat now:

"Do you know where to rent a boat? How to rent a boat? What kind of boat to rent? How much does it cost?"

"what--"

Niya was stunned by a series of practical problems. She only thought about going to Shouwang Island by boat, but she didn't think too much about the specific issue of chartering a boat.

"Then what should we do? Aren't we already in the port now? It shouldn't be a problem to ask a few ships!"

As she said that, Niya quickly cleared her mind, "Yes, let's ask some ships to see if they can get to Watch Island. Watch Island is near Harbor Harbor. I think there should be many ships that can get there. Over there!"

In Xia Duo's opinion, Niya's method is a novice's routine. Although he is also a novice in chartering a boat, he has a better way.

The reason why I asked Niya just now was to finally confirm Niya's intentions.

Now that he knew that Niya was very determined, he didn't want to keep it secret, and said to Niya, "If we ask each ship directly like this, it may cause unnecessary trouble. I know an old hand at the port. If you agree, I'll call him over."

Although most of the ships on Severton's side are operated by ordinary people, it is almost impossible for these ships to have spellcasters behind them.

If they just go to the door directly, they will inevitably be regarded as troublemakers. It is better to find a middleman. This will not only reduce unnecessary misunderstandings, but also increase the efficiency.

In this regard, Niya did not insist on renting a boat by herself, but she was quite surprised that Xia Duo still had acquaintances in Sevington port:
"Who is that person you know? Is it reliable?"

"It should be reliable, I'll call him over first!"

The person Xia Duo wanted to find was the bartender of the tavern he had been to in the afternoon. Of course, that bartender had another identity——the owner of the "House of Alcoholics".

Otherwise, how could a mere tavern afford a bartender who seemed to be quite skilled? Wouldn’t it be possible to sell some casual wine?

In addition to the bartender, Xia Duo can actually help people from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce and even the Seven Towers, but the people he knows are not low-level. If the purpose is to exchange magic, it may be a good choice.

But there's no need to bother those people with such trivial matters.

The bartender at the Drunkard's House may have a background of a powerful spellcaster, but the other party recognized him at the time, and he was very respectful, and accepted his task.

Naturally, Xia Duo didn't mind using him for a while longer!

Since the bartender had been imprinted with magic in advance, and the Drunkard's House was also opened in the port area, the bartender appeared in Xia Duo's sight in less than 2 minutes after Xia Duo issued the call. .

Then he trotted all the way, came to Xia Duo, and saluted Xia Duo and Niya respectfully, "Evans has met Lord Xia Duo, Lord Savile."

Heh, even Niya's identity is known, Xia Duo glanced at Evans who was bowing his head respectfully, and guessed who was behind Evans in his heart.

However, most of his understanding of Sevington is still in the macro and broad situation, and he doesn't know much about the specific power distribution and even the details.

However, Xia Duo didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, his and Niya's identities are not a secret, especially himself. I don't know how many people have seen him at the princess ascension ceremony.

It wouldn't be necessary to go to the door one by one and use the "Forgetting Curse" on those people!

Xia Duo does not reject himself as a public figure. On the contrary, after becoming a senior arcanist, he is very happy to see it. After all, it can provide him with more cloud energy so that he can continue to awaken his blood. What is there to reject!

As for the Evans in front of him, Xia Duo didn't have much thought, he just said:

"No need to be too polite, let me ask you, do you know of any ships that will depart from Severton recently, passing by Harbor Harbor or Watch Island?"

"My lord, the ships that pass through Harbor Harbor and Watch Island usually go to Dennis or Asker. This kind of ship that can go on ocean voyages needs to take into account monsoons, undercurrents, etc., and usually has a fixed route date. After the last batch of ocean-going ships leave today, there will be at least ten more days before the next batch."

Evans' words made Xia Duo think of the ships he saw when he was flying in the sea in the afternoon. He thought they were there every day, but he didn't expect them to be in batches.

Evans is indeed a veteran of the port, but the result did not satisfy him. He glanced at Niya who was also frowning, and continued to ask:

"What about ordinary ships, don't they only go to Harbor Harbor or Watch Island?"

"Yes, but very rarely. Generally, only when the fishing farm employees on Watch Island are on vacation will they return from Harbor Harbor, and then pick up another batch of employees on shift to go there."

Evans once again gave a not-so-good result. It seems that it is unlikely to go out to sea by boat tomorrow. Xia Duo glanced at Nya, who frowned, but her eyes still revealed persistence.

Xia Duo couldn't bear Niya's disappointment, so he asked again: "Are there any idle ships for sale at the Severton Port that are good enough to go to Harbor Harbor?"

Niya heard the meaning of Xia Duo's words, and was about to speak, but Xia Duo held her back. It was only a boat, and she could earn back by selling a few more communication instruments.

In fact, even without today's incident, Xia Duo was planning to buy a few ships, mainly for the purpose of introducing people to the southern border.

The voyage from the core area of ​​Nether to the southern border is too long. If you prepare a few more ships, you can better share the risk and at the same time transport people back to the maximum extent.

And this time, Evans did not give any bad answers:

"My lord, there is such a ship for sale recently!"
