Chapter 570: Landing
After completing his basic plan, Rhodes got on the boat and left Fuguang Island.
The ship was confiscated by Rhodes - Fukukoshima has now set up a port and is collecting taxes, and there are always people who try to evade taxes by various means, and the result of tax evasion is to be caught, and then fined to the point of bankruptcy.
This is not an exaggeration - Rhodes partially activated the defensive circle of Fuguang Island itself, and the tax evaders will be intercepted by the magic circle when they leave, and the Hex Crystals consumed by the magic circle are borne by the tax evaders.
The Hex Crystal bought by Rhodes went through the internal channels, and the price was relatively low; When tax evaders pay fines, they need to pay Hex Crystals at the official guide price, and Rhodes can often make a lot of money back and forth......
What should I do if I can't pay the fine?
Well said, arrest the ship!
Now the ship that Rhodes was on was a debt that had been seized and the owner could not afford the fine, in Sarah's words, "it was a rather imposing ship, I don't know which of the private toys of the prince Shurima", and when it was anchored on Fukuko Island, the cruise ship was more than 100 meters long, full of Ionian specialties.
According to the ship's owner, he drove the ship behind his master's back to make extra money - although the guy tried to scare Rhodes by the name of a certain Shurima lord, Rhodes had no idea what the "Mr. Ashak" in his mouth was.
The whole Shurima, who can make Rhodes give face, is also Azil, Nasus and other big guys, this is what Ashak, Rhodes is not a bird.
In this way, the servant of Mr. Ashak left behind the boat, full of Ionian specialties and the phrase "Wait", and departed in disgrace.
Originally, this kind of trivial matter was just a small episode in Rhodes's life, but when he needed to use the boat, he thought about it and pulled the boat out.
A spicy-scented cruise ship adorned with all kinds of gems looks better than the smelly pirate ship of Bilgewater, doesn't it?
As for whether it will be too ostentatious......
Who cares?
Rhodes has never been an ascetic, he works hard when he trains, but he never treats himself badly when he is training - the previous low profile was to hide his identity, but at sea where no one knows who he is, Rod chooses to be happy himself.
……………………
From east to west, the cruise ship was soon through the Valoran Strait, under the maneuvering of a team led by Pike.
Compared with the previous boat experience, this boat ride is undoubtedly more comfortable.
The length of this big-headed local tyrant is more than 100 meters, the hull has been carefully designed, and there are even professionals on the bottom of the boat who have enchanted it, and when the boat sails downwind on the sea, the hull does not feel shaking at all.
Late autumn is the best time to travel on the Gold Coast on both sides of the Valoran Strait, when the farmers of Demacia have a rare time to spare after harvesting and paying their taxes; Noxus doesn't like to expand outwards in the winter; Shurima's temperature finally dropped quite a bit.
In this case, each country will usher in a short-lived, leisure travel peak.
From the White Cliffs of Demacia in the west to the Molten Iron City in Noxus in the east, all the beautiful beaches of the entire Valoran Strait welcome travelers.
People enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze, and also enjoy their own floating half a day.
As for Rhodes...... In such a beautiful sunshine, he simply lay on the deck with Cana in his arms every day to bask in the sun, and he didn't have the slightest sign that he was about to face the frost watcher who was about to face the Freljords.
However, Rod's happiness did not last long.
After the cruise ship passed through the Strait of Valoran and bypassed the White Cliffs of Demacia, Rhodes decisively put away the deck chairs.
After entering the Sea of Conquest, the temperature plummets!
And when the ship turned north, it was cold day by day.
It's still late autumn in Needle Creek, and five days later in Dornhold it seems like early winter—further north, after arriving at Frost Harbor, Rhodes seems to be in the polar regions.
"Mr. Rhodes, are we really going north?" While resupplying at Frost Harbor, Pike looked rather cramped, "This is the northernmost ice-free port, and if we continue to go north, we will most likely be frozen on the sea." ”
"Not a problem at all." Rhodes shook his head indifferently, "There are wolf ships in Glaser Harbor, and they will ensure that the passage is clear." ”
"Although I've also heard that this wolf ship is capable of breaking ice." Pike was still a little uneasy, "But...... It's my first time here, too, and my boys are very seafaring, but in such a northern place, the ice floes and icebergs are even more terrifying than the reefs—"
"Rest assured~" Facing Pike's worries, Rhodes waved his hand to signal his peace of mind, "This is my ship, not the Titanic!" ”
Pike obviously didn't know what was going on with the Titanic - but when the ship first hit an iceberg, he wasn't worried anymore.
The reason is simple - after the discovery of the iceberg, Rhodes easily removed it.
With his staff, Rhodes didn't need to skimp on mana now, and after discovering the iceberg, he simply twisted his arcane stance and dragged the iceberg out of the course.
The whole process is so smooth that even the boat doesn't need to slow down.
After many days, Pike once again felt the feeling of standing behind the big guy and shouting 666.
As for why Rod didn't just melt the iceberg...... Hehe, to put it mildly, it takes a bit of effort for an iceberg to melt in Ragnaros, and Rhodes can easily drag it away, so why bother?
Perhaps a young warrior with great strength would choose to split an iceberg and show it off loudly to his companions, but as a spellcaster, Rhodes has always been more concerned with efficiency.
Tired enough to choke yourself, and then just to pretend to be a force?
Who is it for......
In this way, if there is an iceberg, it will be dragged away, and if there is ice blocking the route, the flame storm will break the ice, and in the hard work of Rhodes all the way, the cruise ship will go north smoothly, and it will successfully reach the port of Glaser without even calling for the support of the wolf ship.
Following the instructions of the harbor staff, the ship stopped in the port of Glaser - when Rhodes stepped off the ship, he was greeted by a field of ice and snow.
the low but sturdy Freljord building with solid walls; hanging, frozen unknown fish; Flying high in the air, it replaces the role of a lighthouse, representing the kite of the settlement......
Everywhere you look, you can see a different style of Freljord.
Then, just as Rhodes was about to step into the snowstorm, the harbor keeper, dressed in a thick coat of animal skin, stopped him.
The barbarian man, who was a head taller than Rhodes, spoke a lingua franca with a thick accent and stretched out his big hand towards Rhodes.
"Pay the money - the ship management fee!"
