Chapter Seventy-Four: The Frozen Realm
The spring monsoon is just the south wind, and the navigation to the north is very smooth, although the distance from Shenlong Island to the Alchemy Country is far away, there is no tropical storm like Rainbow Island, so the navigation is very safe, and in more than a month, the ship has reached the sea area of the Alchemy Country, and the business card of the princess of the Alchemy Country is there, and the ship is naturally unimpeded in the Alchemy Country.
When I set off from Shenlong Island, it was originally spring, and by the time I arrived in the Alchemy Country, it was already early summer. However, the further north you sail, the colder the climate becomes, even colder than the spring when you first came out of Shenlong Island.
"Nicole, is it so cold in your alchemy country even in summer?" Daniel asked, "I can't imagine what winter looks like here!" β
"There is no summer in the Alchemy Country, only winter, and half of the Alchemy Country is covered by ice and snow all year round, hehe, slowly you will get used to it!" Nicole laughs and says, "Early summer is the season when the snow and ice melt, so it will feel colder than what you call spring and autumn. β
Gradually approaching the harbor of the Alchemy Country, Hig raised his eyes and saw that the mountains in the distance were covered with snow, and there was no green to see, so it was conceivable that even the southernmost harbor of the Alchemy Country was already so cold, what kind of frozen country was this! This seaport is called Zhanxini Port, it is one of the most important ports at the southern end of the Alchemy Country, and it is also an important military base, the long-term war between the Alchemy Country and Shenlong Island has made the country's military port and warships very advanced, and the naval system is very developed. The battleships were huge, interspersed with rapid cleaving waves in the bay, three mast hanging sails towering, iron forearmour, formidable ramming, the ship's arrow tower was four stories high, and the ship's signalmen waved all kinds of flags, and pieces of arrows rained out from the arrow tower.
Higg looked at the battleship in the distance and sighed: "I have long heard of the advanced technology and manufacturing of the Alchemy Country, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, just from the scale of the battleship, you can imagine it, and it really deserves its name." β
After coming out of the harbor, Higg and his party went directly to the Magic Guild, followed by the captain and a few sailors, who waited for Higg to withdraw the gold coins at the Magic Guild.
"Xige, I want to go to the national capital to see my father first, so that it will be convenient for you to act in the alchemy country!" Nicole said to Higg, "We're going through the portal of the Magic Guild, but in that case, Rogson and Snorlin will have to stay in Zhancini City, and they won't be able to pass through the portal of the Magic Guild. β
"General Rogson, General Snowlin!" Higg said to the two, "I want you to go back to Erathia first, I can go back to China directly from the Magic Guild after I finish my errands, and you still have to sail on the sea, I guess when you return home, my business is also done, and then we will meet again in the country." β
"Young Marshal, the current Erathia is ruled by Arad, will it be dangerous for us to return to China like this?" Rogson said worriedly.
Higg smiled and said to Rogson, "You can reach the city of Mithland in the south of AndalΓΊ Province, there is a small port, the port is located on the Godell Peninsula, in the hilly area of the peninsula, you can find a chief named Shante, he knows how to do it?" β
"Young marshal, do you want us to do things with the bandits?" Snowlin asked in surprise.
"Now that the country is in turmoil, it would be nice to have a safe place, I hope you will go where to help Shante establish a force that truly belongs to us, so that we can have the capital to dominate in the troubled times." "I haven't been there for over three years, and if things change, you can go southwest of Erathia, where the First and Second Legions are located, and there's Her Majesty's sphere of influence, and through there, you can contact Wizard McCann of the Magical Guild of Teris, and he knows what to do." β
"General McCann?" They called out in unison, "Has the young marshal seen him?" β
"To tell you the truth, I went on an adventure to Shenlong Island and came to the Alchemy Country to save Saiya, the wife of the McCann Magician, you should also know each other!"
"General Saiya?" Rogson and Snowlin were even more surprised, "She didn't die?" β
Higg sighed and said, "She's been sleeping for more than twenty years, and I hope to revive her this time!" β
"Okay, let's listen to the young marshal's arrangement and return to China immediately!" Rogson said excitedly.
"If you find the McCann Wizard, ask him to inquire about the whereabouts of the other friends who went to Shenlong Island with me, and the McCann Wizard knows who they are!" Higg said, pointing to the two boxes on the ground and said, "Hehe, you keep these two boxes of gold coins, the Shenlong Island charter ship has swept away your money bags, you can settle for the time being!" β
Snowing opened two boxes, which were slowly filled with gold coins, a standard box of 20,000, two boxes are 40,000, Snowlin said excitedly, "Young marshal, we can't take this money, we will figure it out ourselves!" β
Daniel smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't be embarrassed, you young marshal has a mountain of gold and silver, what is this money?" Otherwise, how could I have messed with him! β
Higg ignored it, pointed to the other two boxes and said to the captain: "There are two more boxes of gold coins here, a total of 40,000, one of which is to pay you a round-trip ticket to Shenlong Island, and the other box, I want you to send my people to Erathia, just so that you can return from there!" Don't forget, I rent your boat for a year. β
The captain said happily: "My lord, I am willing to send them to Alasia, but it is not the north wind yet, it is best for us to wait for more than a month in the alchemy country, and wait for the north monsoon to come before leaving." β
"No, you guys take a break, and then you must leave the Alchemy Kingdom immediately!" Nicole said, "I can't guarantee that the details of Shenlong Island will not find you, the captain of the ship of Shenlong Island, within a month, and then you will really get me in trouble." You can sail east first, heading south from the east side of the continent into Erathia, which is a long way away, but avoids the waters of Shenlong Island, and by the time you travel east for a month and turn south, the monsoon will also turn! β
The captain looked at Nicole in surprise and asked, "Did you really be a captain?" β
Higg, Nicole, and Daniel each looked at each other and laughed.
β¦β¦
Through the portal of the Magical Guild, Higg, Daniel, and Nicole arrive in Scana, the capital of the Alchemy Kingdom. It's a beautiful and well-developed city, with towering buildings rising from the ground, long winters of snow, all the buildings here with pointed roofs, doors and windows are slightly smaller, and thriving streets lined with shops and traffic. Most of the shops here sell weapons and armor, and the various types of equipment are beautifully crafted, showing the city's thriving manufacturing industry.
"Nicole, I want to buy a few warships from your alchemy country!" Higg said.
Nicole's words startled Nicole and hurriedly said, "What do you want a warship for?" The warships of our alchemy country are not for sale, and besides, you shouldn't talk to me about this matter! β
Higg smiled and said, "I know you can't be the master, I hope that when you meet your father, you can reveal my intentions at the right time!" β
Nicole said in embarrassment: "Higg, you are trying to harm me, in this case I will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy!" β
Higg said, "Hehe, collaborator? It's not that serious, why don't you think about it the other way around, so that not only will you not collaborate with the enemy, but you will have an additional ally? β
Nicole nodded, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll try to mention it to my father, but there's no guarantee of success!" β
Nicole originally arranged for Higg and Daniel to live in the official guest house of the Alchemy Country as diplomatic envoys, but Hig refused, and it was rare to come to the Alchemy Country for a tour, how could they be restrained? The two of them simply found a random place to live next to the magic guild, and as traveling magicians, they happened to visit the magic guild of the alchemy country.
The magic guild in Scana City is indeed extraordinary, the architectural style of the magic tower reflects the extraordinary architectural art of the alchemy country, the huge magic tower base, from the ground you need to go up nearly ten meters high steps, to reach the magic tower's teleportation hall, the five-story magic tower is originally very high, but the towering spire soars into the sky, making people feel awe.
Next to the magic tower, there is a unique building of the world-famous Scana Magic Guild, and the super magic library with the same name as the magic vortex of Moros City on Shenlong Island, it is said that the library here preserves many unique books of magic skills, secret books, and only ordinary magic guides can enter this magic library, even if the magic conference is held here, it is only a symbolic opening of the corner of the library.
While sighing, Higg thought to himself: The magic vortex and the super magic library are good enough, but what kind of building is the magic rainbow of Rainbow Island that surpasses these two?
Although Higg has comprehended the origin of the four systems and his magic ability has been greatly improved, it does not mean that he is already a magic mage, but can only be said to have the foundation to become a magic mage. The identity of a magic mage is the supreme existence in Middle-earth, and Higg still has a long way to go, and he has not carefully studied the magic skills above the second order, although he can occasionally send out some perverted high-level skills through the spirit bead, but these are not fully mastered by himself, and the higher-level skills need to be studied and explored for a long time.
and Daniel entered the second floor of the magic tower, and the layout of the magic tower here is not much different from the magic tower on Shenlong Island, the only difference is that the qi magic hall here is much larger than other magic halls, and the types of magic skills are more complex and more perfect. Shenlong Island focuses on the earth system, while the Alchemy Kingdom focuses on the qi system, and the different magic skills also reflect the secret confrontation between the two belligerents in the magic field.
Higg slowly decoded and analyzed the general outline of the qi magic skills here, and then selected some magicians' notes, so that in the future, he could combine them with the earth comprehension of Shenlong Island and improve his "Higg Demon Path".
Higg and Daniel, who have been wandering for a long time, rarely have such an opportunity to enter the magic tower of the alchemy country, and they just have time to confirm each other's accumulation of travel and cultivation during this period of time, and they have gained a lot.
