Novigre is located at the estuary of the lower Ponta River that runs throughout the north, and stands right on the border between Redania and Termolia.

Although this city is located in the territory of the Kingdom of Redania, due to past historical problems, Novigre does not belong to Redania, but a free city-state with no nationality.

As the largest city and trading port in the north, Novigre is proudly known as the world capital by the vast majority of northerners.

The trading port with huge throughput has given the city amazing wealth, and the endless circulating population such as vendors and visitors have also brought vitality to Novigre.

As early as hundreds of years ago, before humans landed on this continent, the elves established the city of Gunovigri in this port area.

With the arrival of human beings, more and more conflicts and frictions have forced the elves to give up the city and hide in the forest.

Since then, Novigre has been occupied by humans in the Kingdom of Shanbuk, which is the predecessor of the Kingdom of Redania and the oldest kingdom of mankind.

Many years ago, Redania had a great war with the Northern Alliance led by Temolia, known as the Seven Years' War in history.

Novigre was the capital of Redania at that time. Due to the invasion of war, the contemporary King of Redania, Vistibo, had to move the capital northward and finally chose the current capital, Tretoge.

Novigray was also occupied by Temolia during that period.

It was not until Radovid III's reign that Redania reached a consensus with Temolia through diplomatic negotiations, allowing Novigre, who has an important strategic position, to become the only free city in the north.

Free from the official constraints of the two countries, Novigre, who was able to leap at a high speed, entered a period of rapid development and eventually grew into the "world capital" that northerners are proud of.

...Of course, the Nifgads would never admit this way of addressing.

Novigre and Goswellen are both port cities, and there are often maritime trade between the two sides.

With the next plan in mind, Xin Sheng, Xiri and Natiya are ready to take a boat to Novigri.

Avarak didn't like to act with humans. He used the excuse that he wanted to verify something and started teleporting away first.

Natiya looked at Avarak, who disappeared with the flashing blue light.

"The warlock is really convenient and can be teleported to all parts of the world at will."

Xin Sheng explained: "Teleport is indeed very convenient, but it is not something you can go anywhere."

"Before teleportation is activated, the caster must first connect to the local magic net, and usually the magic net nodes are guarded by someone."

Xin Sheng pointed to the ruins of the palace at his feet: "The original magic net node in Xiannid Island has long been abandoned, and the magic net trunk was transferred to the Aritusa Academy, leaving only a little residual authority."

"Avarak can freely access and use the magic net of the old palace, but it may not be possible if he changes the place."

Xiri also added from the side: "I have also heard Yennefa say that the consumption of magic power by teleportation will increase significantly with the distance stretching."

"If there is no local magic net energy support, the warlock's own magic power can only be teleported for a few kilometers at most."

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Xin Sheng clapped his hands to interrupt the communication between the two.

"Okay, I'll talk about it when I have something to get on the boat. Now, both of you please wear hoods."

"After the turmoil last night, Baron Punato should take the opportunity to clear a wave of cities. We are going to leave Goswellen on the first passenger ship in the morning before the lockdown begins."

...

As Xin Sheng expected.

After conquering the bank of Grays, Baron Punato eliminated his debt crisis, but the large amount of wealth he had expected to get disappeared.

The baron, who was in great danger, immediately ordered the blockade of all the city's exits, including the underground waterway leading to the outside of the city.

Even if it is only one in ten thousand possible, Baron Punato wants to capture the escaped brothers, "regain" the wealth that should have belonged to him.

Xin Sheng and the other two rushed to Goswellen's port before dawn and successfully boarded the earliest passenger ship to Novigre.

After the passenger ship left the shore, Natiya happened to see the fully armed lord guards entering the port area.

Xin Sheng stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the endless sea surface, and he recalled the experience of going out to sea with Barnabas and others.

Xili noticed Xin Sheng's distractedness and was a little curious about the nostalgic expression in his eyes.

"pungent?"

"Um?"

After coming back to his senses, Xin Sheng smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just remembered some past events."

"Natya, do you still remember Barnabas and Herodotus?"

Natiya is gnawing bread like a hamster for breakfast.

Hearing Xin Sheng's inquiry, she swallowed the bread in her mouth in a few bites and said vaguely: "Of course I remember that I also began to miss the adventure I sailed on the Aegean Sea with them."

Natiya had previously told Xiri about her adventures in another world.

As the ancient blood inheritor with the ability to travel time and space, Xili easily accepts the existence of other worlds.

If you can control your abilities in the future, Xiri hopes to one day travel around different worlds like Natiya, experience different folk customs from different places, and experience more legendary adventures.

"Oh~ I would have liked to have my own strength in full."

Xiri grabbed her hair with a little depressed depression: "That might help Natiya find her hometown world and accompany her home to visit relatives."

"Do you visit relatives..."

Xin Sheng looked at Natiya's expression.

If we only count from the blood relationship, Natiya would have no relatives.

Cassandra and Fauber are far more important to her family than blood relatives... they can probably barely bring Marcos.

‘If Xiri's ability is fully mature, I don't know if she can break the dimensional wall, break away from the countless parallel worlds under the wizard's worldview, and freely shuttle between the big worlds.’

This question cannot be answered for the time being. After all, Xili cannot even control her own abilities now, and it is impossible to confirm through experiments what level of talent that the ancient blood has given her has reached.

Thinking of this, Xin Sheng took the two back to the independent cabin they had booked and closed the door tightly on the grounds of serious negotiations.

"Adon, Quinn."

Xin Sheng used two magic seals to change his gestures one after another.

The basic ability of the Yaden magic seal is to create a magic shield that resists physical attacks, Xin Sheng expanded its functions.

He reduced the protective effect of the seal and expanded the scope of action, and evolved into a silent barrier that could isolate the propagation of internal and external sounds.

The Kunen Seal was originally used to make traps. Xin Sheng used Geralt's usage to transform it, creating seals from the inside to block the door, so as to avoid anyone breaking in during the conversation.

Xili's ancient blood has been coveted by countless people. It is better to be cautious when talking about important topics related to it.

Being prepared for protection, Xin Sheng turned his head and solemnly asked Xili: "Xiri, what is the specific situation of your time and space shuttle ability and why can't you control it?"
