On the Seven Towers

There were still pirates who had been knocked down in the water and were flapping around on the sea, but the Red Cloud ignored these people and directly left them behind and returned.

On the bridge, Huang Zheng was waiting for the other party to make a decision.

"I must admit the power you have. However, even if you have those strange cannons and shields, after all, you only have two ships. And we also have many ships like the Red Cloud, and even more powerful ships. ." On the way back, Esselit's attitude changed significantly.

"Captain Esselit, we have never been your enemies. All we want is to see your leader." Huang Zheng said sincerely, "We show our strength to tell you that we have the value of cooperation. "

Eselit thought for a long time and said: "As a soldier, I should not create enemies like you for the Western Continent Republic. I agree to your request and take you into the port."

"Is magic really not related to the devil?" Eselit invited Huang Zheng into his captain's cabin and opened a bottle of fruit wine produced in the Western Continent.

Huang Zheng took the wine glass in his hand and said: "We have always believed that magic is a neutral force, it does not matter whether it is good or evil, and it has nothing to do with the devil. Whether it is us or our enemies, they will use this power to do whatever they want. Many things. If you say a devil uses a knife to kill, or an awl to build, would you consider a knife or a hammer to be the devil's power and then discard it?"

Eselit sat on the sofa with his hands crossed and said in a deep voice: "You don't understand, if something is said over and over again in history, it becomes a conventional rule. Although None of us have seen people from the Eastern Continent, let alone the devil, but it seems that the Eastern Continent has always been associated with the devil."

Huang Zheng noticed that there was a large map hanging on the wall, which was divided into two parts: left and right. The Western Continent on the left was white, with mountains, rivers, and city strongholds clearly marked on it. Everything seemed to be shining under the sun. Same as below. The continent on the right is black with blurred outlines. There is basically nothing visible on it, as if it is shrouded in darkness. There are some clouds and mist drawn by chaotic lines between the two continents, which should be the violent sea. This map is a good example of what Esselit calls the West Continent worldview.

Huang Zheng pointed to the map and said: "Sometimes darkness does not come from evil, but from ignorance." He mobilized his mental power, swept across the painting, and turned the magic into colors to adhere to the painting. I saw bright colors beginning to appear on the black eastern continent. The outline of the continent began to become clear and precise, mountains and rivers began to appear one by one, cities appeared on the map, and their names were marked below.

It's like there is a pen in the void, redrawing this half of the map.

Such miraculous skills made Eselit finish the whole process without blinking his eyes: "It's really unbelievable. Is this the true face of the Eastern Continent?"

"Yes. That's a place where the sun shines as well." Huang Zheng said.

That afternoon, the Red Cloud led the other three ships into the port of Ayre City. They did not stop at the busy merchant ship dock, but sailed to a military port.

However, when passing by the merchant ship dock, Xiao Chen stood on the side of the Houyi and observed the scene of this busy port.

The port here is quite large and the water is very deep. There are steam ships of various sizes moored at the pier. The architectural style of houses in the Western Continent is very different from that in the Eastern Continent. Like their clothing, they like to use direct and simple lines. The walls of the buildings are mostly light yellow, while the roofs of the houses are mostly dark red. From a distance, the buildings along the pier slowly extend to the mountains behind, forming a red and yellow landscape.

Steel cranes are installed on many docks. Under the operation of workers, the crane with mechanical structure is used to continuously lift the boxes on the ship to the dock. From the volume of cargo handled here, it can be seen that the business in the Western Continent is very prosperous.

Luo Ling said: "It feels like they have completely entered the industrial age. If it weren't for the magic in the Eastern Continent, they would definitely be crushed by them."

Xiao Chen said: "Don't we still exist in the Eastern Continent? I have a hunch that when we join forces with people like these in the Western Continent, both sides will get huge benefits from each other. Look at these steel equipment and ships, Behind them are factories, countless experienced workers, as well as scientists and engineers who develop these technologies.

Imagine the terrifying productivity that can be unleashed when our magic technology is combined with these people. The Western Continent itself is a more important treasure than the Tower of Source. When we came here, we really made an unexpected discovery. "

Luo Ling said: "Don't be too happy too early. I can see how much resistance these people have to the Eastern Continent."

"But in the end, didn't I convince them to bring us here? If I can convince them once, I can convince them a second time and a third time. I have already won over the sage's secretary, and Huang Zheng has already impressed the general. We will Successful.

The people on this continent hate the gods so much, which is our biggest weight. As long as we show the fact that the god of nature is about to awaken, they should seriously consider this issue. "Xiao Chen said.

At this time, a sea breeze blew and fluttered Xiao Chen's hair and his clothes. Luo Ling suddenly felt that this guy looked confident... and quite handsome.

After Hou Yi and Xing Tian docked. Xiao Chen organized a strong delegation and prepared to follow Esselit into the city to visit the local leaders.

The passengers on the Shield of El had to be temporarily guarded because they learned about the visitors from the East Continent. Therefore, Esselit asked the Shield of El not to enter the civilian port, and entered the military port located in the north of the commercial port with Hou Yi and Xing Tian. All passengers were temporarily placed in a barracks by the military. Only Captain Barivian and the Sage's Secretary Brudes acted with Xiao Chen and others.

Esselit temporarily arranged them in his house in El City, and he went to the Navy Headquarters to report the matter to General Montanio. Brudes took Barivian away and went to the town hall to visit the mayor of El City, Agudro.

Most of the crew members and marines brought by Xiao Chenda were left on the ship, and they monitored each other with the crew on the Red Cloud to prevent any accidents.
