A strange world

Chapter 438 Chapter 95. The first voyage

It will take about three days for the purchased Ineson to arrive at Gem Bay. Annan planned to let the New Initial go to the Violet Old Land first.

"Are you going?" Ingrid asked him in the wooden house that was temporarily used as the city lord's residence.

"I shouldn't go...what's wrong?"

"As your assistant, I shouldn't encourage you to take risks, but I still recommend that you go there yourself."

"Why?"

"The Violet Kingdom contains wealth beyond imagination, and gold diggers cannot snatch it away. Vultures can only eat the remaining carrion, and the real prey belongs to the hunter."

In fact, when Olmedo and Ingrid originally conceived the idea, they planned to use the Violet Old Land as the first pot of gold after Annan gained the territory. However, they did not expect that Annan would successfully establish a foothold in the Tatooine Empire and move out the magic image. Popular.

"And the expeditionary force is going north, maybe we can benefit from both sides."

And there must be survivors like Count Ulmit in the old Violet Land. After the expeditionary force cleans up, those nobles may restore the Violet Kingdom...

Annan and the gold diggers could only watch as the ownerless treasures on the ground became the property of new owners.

Those beautiful, naughty golden elves should not be acquired by greedy and ugly nobles!

And money is never too much. Wouldn't it be better to buy two arcane energy cores and use one as a night light?

"Then let me go."

Annan doesn't need to do anything himself. He can come back after negotiating with Count Ulmit, but if he's interested, he can join in the fun and "dig" for the treasure.

There is no place in Gem City and Syltovis that cannot be separated from Annan for the time being. Maybe you can still see Maria in the Violet Old Land, if she is there.

Annan still had some things in Syltovis, so he contacted Mr. Swallow. When the father appeared expressionlessly, Annan said sincerely: "Mr. Swallow, I want to go back to the college to get some things, and then A trip to the old violet land. Please say goodbye to Alice for me."

Annan realized that it might have been a mistake to let Mr. Swallow play Professor Snape. Although he contributed superb acting skills and topics, the previous Mr. Swallow did not have the "Snape" type of scrutiny...

"...Do you want me to send you to the Violet Old Land?"

Mr. Swaro's sudden thoughtfulness made Annan feel uneasy: "No, I'm with the fleet..."

There was no negative state in the subsequent teleportation, as if he had really stepped through a door.

Annan went back to the lounge to get some clothes, and then went to the cat room.

Because "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has not yet been released, Diagon Alley, which is still under construction, is only visited by nearby residents. Annan's arrival went unnoticed.

Lily wants to follow Annan, and Annan thinks the same way - taking the cat on the boat will bring good luck. But the white cat insisted on following, so Annan had no choice but to take it with him as Lily's playmate.

It wouldn't be bad to make this not-so-bright cat the mascot of the new Prime number in the future.

After explaining some matters to the merchants, Annan returned to Gemstone Bay and prepared for the next trip to sea.

The crew of the New Initial were clearing the deck for Annan's review. Taking advantage of the gap, Annan took a turn in the textile factory.

The female workers who have been busy because of the "Fast Pants" are following the textile factory's etiquette of "never treat the machines roughly" to comfort the machines that have been sleeping all night.

They checked the machines and cleaned the dust before starting work.

Annan did not correct their "customs", so he found Ingrid and gave her the next work of cultivating farmland in case he could not return before March.

"This is the farmland I handled in Xingyue Bay." Ingrid exposed it mercilessly.

Annan held Lily in his arms dejectedly, boarding the New Initial with the white cat at his feet.

Standing on the shiny deck, this was actually Annan's first time taking a boat.

Annan thought he would get seasick because he had never been to sea, but as the New Initial set sail, he felt no discomfort.

Compared to how he overcame motion sickness when he went to Breeze City for the first time, Annan believed that it was Mr. Swallow's terrible portal that made him resistant.

With the sails raised, the New Initial cut through the waves, and its speed was much faster than other three-masted sailing ships - the ten sleepless large water elements in the bilge were the key.

Annan stood on the deck, with the vast expanse of sea stretching out and the sea breeze blowing in his face, which was different from any time he saw the sea on the coast.

Letting the elements drive the crew far away, Annan let out a cry that was carried far away by the sea wind: "I am the king of the world——!"

"Puff puff--"

A burst of snickering suddenly sounded from the surroundings.

Annan first looked at Lily at his feet. "It's not a cat." Lily shook her head.

"Meow~" the white cat next to me meowed innocently.

"I am the king of the world--?"

Annan shouted again tentatively, assuming that the fart sound was carried by the wind from one of the crew members.

The first meal on board the New Initial was fish. The lord's boarding made the chef try his best, but it only required one more step than before to scrape off the scales of the fish. Even the internal organs were removed after Annan found out...

Unlike Xingyue Bay, which is rich in similar salmon fish, the fish in the Obiris Strait are nearly spindle-shaped, with thick and numerous bones, close to those of a several-month-old chicken.

When Annan was holding a completely grilled fish, he saw a mangrove forest in the unexplored area southwest of the forest mountains bordering Gemstone Bay.

I wonder if there are crabs in this world...

The route of the New Initial is along the strait from east to west, sailing out of the strait and then heading north, which takes about a week to sail.

The ocean seemed new to Annan at first, but soon it became boring like other sailors.

This long period of being able to stay on the boat and do nothing made Annan irritated, but he was relieved when he remembered that he had done nothing on land.

There was a collection of books on board - thanks to Annan's widespread mastery of the lingua franca. Annan chose knight stories among geography, history and humanities, and alchemical knowledge.

During the day he read in the captain's cabin, played cards with the first and second mates and the sailors, and when he had won enough nights, he meditated under the stars.

Lily was welcomed by the crew as a relative, and they gave Lily the fish they caught. But Annan loves Lily more than anyone else. So when Lily gets a small fish, she will run to the water element to remove the fish bones.

The white cat couldn't do it. It was too stupid. It ran away when it saw anyone other than Annan and couldn't lure him out with fish. So Annan named it "silly cat".

The sailing life dispelled the impetuosity brought by money and purified Annan's mind. At a certain moment, he felt that he was no longer far away from an elite warlock...

As Annan got closer and closer to the elite, they arrived at the place where the Skaven of McKenna had landed.
