Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1052 Ready to go
Seeing that Xia Duo was about to discuss the purchase of a ship with Evans, Niya quickly sent a message to chat with Xia Duo privately: "Why don't we send it over, it doesn't feel very rational to just buy a ship like this!"

"Don't worry, this ship is not just for going to sea tomorrow, I will use it to go to and from the north to introduce new people to the south in the future."

Xia Duo gave Niya a reassuring look, and then said to Evans: "I want to buy that boat! If you handle everything, can you go to sea tomorrow?"

He knew that his request was somewhat embarrassing, but if Evans could do it, then he didn't mind giving him a small surprise.

After saying his request, Xia Duo just looked at the other party calmly.

At the same time, Evans' face also began to struggle. He knew that a ship is nothing to a senior arcanist, let alone if a senior arcanist is willing , he can teleport to the desired destination at any time.

Evans didn't know whether Xia Duo was testing him or testing him, but he knew that he had to agree, he just wanted to go to sea tomorrow, then——

"My lord, I can't guarantee that I will be able to go to sea tomorrow, but I am willing to give it a try."

"can."

Looking at Evans who was cautious in front of him, Xia Duo finally agreed to let him try, but he guessed that the other party should be sure, otherwise it would be impossible to take the risk of offending a senior arcanist. live.

After that, Xia Duo took out an exchange voucher of about [-] gold coins from his portable space, handed it to Evans, and said meaningfully at the same time: "Don't let me down!"

Hearing this, Evans' hand, which was about to take the gold coin exchange certificate, froze immediately, and Xia Duo felt amused when he saw this.

However, he can also understand the difficulty of the little people, and the person in front of him is not his subordinate, so he said:
"Hold on, I know it's not easy to complete the acquisition overnight and recruit the right crew. I'm not a harsh person. You just have to do your best. Even if it's a little later, I can accept it."

After Xia Duo said this, Evans took over the gold coin exchange vouchers, and after counting them, he assured Xia Duo:

"My lord, it will not be easy if we go to sea early tomorrow morning, but I guarantee that everything will be ready before noon."

"Very well, then I won't waste your time, see you tomorrow!"

After speaking, Xia Duo took Niya and walked outside the port area.

……

"If the ship isn't ready tomorrow, we'll just teleport it there!"

On the way, Niya mentioned teleportation again, but Xia Duo could see that she was a little confused, so he took advantage of the night to quietly hold her hand, and firmly conveyed his thoughts to her.

Although there were few pedestrians on the streets of Sevington at night, it was not completely absent. Holding hands in the street was a very normal behavior in Xia Duo's eyes, but it still made her very shy in Nya's eyes.

In fact, this is because Niya has never been to the kingdoms of elves. Xia Duo has experienced many times incarnating as elves in the projection plane. He knows that elf society is already very close to the modern society on earth in some respects.

Let alone holding hands in the street, even men and women are not unusual at all.

There are also quite avant-garde people in Netheril, but Niya is still quite conservative in this regard, and this has sometimes become the place where Nya is most provocative to Xia Duo.

Holding Niya's soft little hand in his hand, he said some ambiguous words that only the two of them could understand from time to time. Before they knew it, they walked to the gate of Gilles Tower.

But when he got here, Xia Duo stopped in his tracks. He pulled Niya, "Why don't you go back to the Tower of Time tonight and come back tomorrow morning?"

"But that would cost an extra 2000 gold coins!" Niya subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But Xia Duo said: "It doesn't matter, there are discounts for level 5 members of the Austrian Law Federation, so you don't need so much."

What Nya lacked was just an excuse. Under Xia Duo's guidance, Nya returned to the Tower of Time at some point, and arrived at the bedroom at some point.

At some point, the robe on her body had quietly left her.

……

The next morning.

Niya opened her eyes, facing a pair of familiar eyes like morning stars, with a smile in them, Nya was immediately ashamed, and buried her head in the arms of Xia Duo who had already woken up middle.

But the uninterrupted physical contact made her a little overwhelmed. It was daytime instead of night. Niya let out a groan and dared not make any more moves.

Feeling the heat from Nya's cheek which was pressed close to her chest, which was obviously higher than the body temperature, Xia Duo immediately felt it was funny, Niya was so shy even after being an old married couple.

He leaned up slightly, kissed Niya's forehead, then pulled out his left arm still wrapped around Nya's body, and whispered in Niya's ear:

"I'll prepare breakfast first, and I'm going to Severton in a while, so don't sleep too long."

"Ah."

……

After breakfast, the blush on Nya's face gradually dissipated, and she returned to the usual cold mage Saville.

With the help of the teleportation circle, the two of them were directly teleported from the southern border to the Arcane Federation. The convenience of the caster was about the same. If it wasn't for Niya who wanted to see the seascape along the way, perhaps the two of them had already returned from Watch Island by now.

At the port, Xia Duo summoned Evans to inquire about the preparation of the ship. After a while, Evans trotted to Xia Duo with seven or eight people dressed as boatmen:
"My lord, Evans has lived up to his trust. The last crew has been assembled, and the 'Distant' can set sail at any time!"

As he said that, Evans returned some of the gold coin exchange vouchers, and asked the seven or eight boatmen to salute Xia Duo. Xia Duo waved his hand, but he didn't care about it.

As for the remaining gold coin exchange vouchers, he roughly looked at it, and there were about 2000 gold coins left. It seemed that a ship and all the boatmen cost about 8000 gold coins.

For the kind of boat that can sail on the sea, Xia Duo himself has a rough budget, after all, he has bought a boat before.

Looking at Evans' almost black eyes, Xia Duo knew that the other party probably hadn't rested all night, so he said:
"Thank you for your hard work, but now I still want you to take us to see the boat. When we go out to sea, you can rest!"

"My lord, I don't need to rest, we are going to the boat now, my lord, please follow me!"

Evans revealed an abnormal excitement in his words and eyes, and led Xia Duo, Niya, and the seven or eight boatmen towards a big boat, half running and half jumping.
