It's afternoon.

While helping Sherlock carry the goods onto the ship, Richard also boarded the ship.

Walking off the deck and into the cabin one level below, Richard glanced at the entire cabin. To be honest, the cabin wasn't too big, but it was dry and didn't have much moisture. It's much better than the boat you took when you came to the East Coast, or left the White Rock Tower for Moore.

There are a few pieces of furniture in the cabin, which are not many in number, but they are all very practical, and the tables, chairs, and beds have traces of time on the surface, and after being wiped down, they exude a faint luster. The furniture and some of the furnishings were fixed to prevent them from being broken by shaking at sea.

Richard walked over to the small wooden table and sat down, felt it, and nodded in satisfaction.

His requirements for the living environment are not high, and it is enough to not affect his work. Of course, it doesn't matter if it really affects his work, after all, he carries a suitcase of space with him. He could have gone to work in the Garden of Eden, but it was a little more troublesome. Now, it seems, there is no need to do so.

At this time, he also learned more about the so-called big ship from Sherlock.

For example, the name of this ship is "Queen Victoria", which belongs to a strong organization in the main continent, has an excellent reputation, and has a good safety guarantee for the customers who take it. It can be said that on this ship, unless you look for death, it is difficult to die because of some accidents on the journey. After all, there are many knights in magic clothes on this ship, as well as an experienced and powerful ...... The female captain guarded it.

Yes, Captainess.

The captain of the "Queen Victoria" is a woman, and the name of the ship is her name - Victoria Eliza.

Some people say that she has the strength of a third-level wizard, and some say that it is stronger.

Others say that she is ruthless, like a black widow, and rarely strikes, but when she does, she is sure to kill her enemies in a few turns.

In any case, it is extremely reassuring to have the other party in charge, as a passenger.

With this in mind, Richard sat down at the wooden table in the cabin and began to work.

After working for a while, suddenly the whole hull shook a little. With a creaking sound, the big ship began to turn around, slowly sailed out of the harbor, sailed out to sea, hoisted its sails, and headed south according to the established course.

The Queen Victoria set sail.

Richard didn't care much about this, knowing very well that this voyage was very long, and it could not be reached in a short time, so he lowered his head and got busy again.

......

In the days that followed, Richard was busy. The Queen Victoria, on the other hand, sailed smoothly and arrived at the southern port on the east coast. After a brief pause to replenish supplies, he set sail again, officially leaving the east coast and entering the waters of the main continent.

On the evening more than a month after leaving the port of Alin, Queen Victoria was floating in the ocean, and Richard was in the cabin, sitting at a table, holding a quill pen and writing "rustling".

After writing for a long time, Richard stopped, rubbed his eyebrows, and felt a little tired.

"Alright, let's get here first. Richard spoke, put down his quill pen, put the scroll full of words into the iron ring, stretched and stood up, and walked to the bed to get ready for a proper rest.

After all, he is not an iron man, he will also be tired, and in the case of a non-emergency, he will work and rest at his own pace.

"Whew-"

With a light breath, Richard lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and then found that he had not been able to sleep for a long time.

Well?

His eyes continued to be closed, but Richard's heart was a little suspicious.

The next moment, let go of the perception and feel it seriously, and found that there was some strange energy restlessness in the air around him, and it was difficult for the body to relax, so he naturally couldn't sleep.

This is?

As soon as the thought moved, Richard controlled the entire consciousness to sink and enter a meditative state.

"Buzz!"

A strong sense of vibration appeared in the body, and Richard's well-known control consciousness body detached from the body and appeared in the cabin.

In the state of consciousness, Richard looked around and saw that there were many more bright and dark colored points of light in the air. Reaching out and touching it, you can clearly see that the point of light merges into the consciousness body, and then enters the body along the transparent band behind the neck of the consciousness body, and finally arrives at the Dharma source for storage.

Is this a free energy element?

Richard was slightly surprised, and then thought of something, and controlled the consciousness body to quickly rise upwards, through the thick planks, to the deck. Looking upward, I couldn't help but be surprised, only to see the sky full of stars, bright stars, dazzling.

Richard knew that what he saw in the state of consciousness was not the real stars, but the free energy elements projected by the stars.

It's just that in all the places where he has stayed in the Deep Blue Kingdom, in the White Stone Tower, in Moore, in the Jungle Hut, in the Deep Blue Castle, etc., he has never seen such a dense concentration of free energy elements, to say the least, several times more.

Tilting his head slightly, looking at where the Queen Victoria had traveled, Richard noticed that an extremely clear dividing line appeared. On the other side of the dividing line, free energy elements are very scarce, and they can only be considered abundant when they rise to a high altitude. And on this side of the dividing line, there are enough at low altitudes, and at high altitudes, it is even denser.

He suddenly understood why it was difficult to fall asleep before, obviously because he was too keen to perceive the change in the density of the free energy elements in the air, and he couldn't adapt immediately for a while, which was a bit like drunken oxygen, that is, a low-level reaction.

At the same time, he also understood why the main continent was rich in resources and the wizard level was higher than that of the east coast, which was obviously closely related to the density of free energy elements.

But what he didn't understand was why there was such a dividing line, after all...... This is more difficult to explain than what an ocean front is.

On the surface of the sea, the phenomenon of ocean fronts occurs, resulting in completely different colors of sea water on both sides of a dividing line, which may be caused by a series of combined effects such as underwater topography, ocean currents, light, and temperature.

But what is the effect of free energy that causes so much difference before and after a dividing line?

The rotation of the planet, the angle of the yellow and the red, the deflection force of the earth's rotation?

It seems that there are many secrets in this world that need to be explored, understood, and parsed slowly.

is still the same sentence, the road is long...... There is still a long way to go.

With a light sigh in his heart, Richard controlled the sinking of his consciousness and prepared to return to his body. At that moment, a strange cry was heard on the deck, followed by a short blue shadow flying from beneath the consciousness.

Huh? What is it?

With some curiosity, Richard moved his consciousness and chased after the blue shadow, eventually seeing the other party under the mast.

It looked like it was a mouse with blue hair...... Uh, no, it's not a mouse, the body is much rounder, and the tail is almost none, like a hamster.

But it is a little different from hamsters, the ears are pointer, the limbs are more slender, and the eyes are constantly turning, which makes them very alert.

Looking at each other for a long time, a word inexplicably floated out of Richard's mind: "Goblin." ”

Yes, goblins.

Not the spirits of Eastern legends, but creatures of Western mythology.

In the Western myths and stories of the modern earth, there are many descriptions of goblins, which are also called flower goblins, elves, treasure keepers, little devils, etc., depending on the region.

For example, in Cornwall, England, there is a legend of the treasure goblin.

Legend has it that they are small creatures who like to haunt ancient ruins or burial mounds to defend their buried treasures, and if there are treasure thieves, they will use special means to make their bodies very large and scare the treasure thieves away.
