Chapter 12 Ships
Yes, the three of them watched helplessly as a carriage-shaped vehicle drove rapidly along the sea level from the place where the sea and sky were intersecting, and then slowly stopped.
When I got closer, I realized that it was indeed a boat, but it was more like a carriage.
The base is connected by sixteen narrow and long speedboat bottoms. The brackets hold a heavy carriage and are suspended one and a half meters above the water surface. In front of the boat, four strong narrow-toothed sharks are lined up, dragging special shafts. One is well-dressed and has a human-shaped body, but has a seven-pointed appearance, sitting on the roof of the car, waiting patiently without moving.
Boat carriages are traveling to the sea, one of the very expensive items in the recreation table of the Magic City. The Magic City only opens shallow sea areas for ordinary tourists. If you want to visit the deep sea, the only way is to take a boat car. Of course, boat cars are also divided into levels. The levels and prices vary according to the distances that can be penetrated into the ocean. The following sixteen-ship boat cars are undoubtedly the most expensive and the most advanced. For most people, even if they have money, they are not qualified to take them. They only provide services to a very small number of passengers with special identities.
For example, there are three people in the Crow's group.
While the surrounding crowd was marching against the fence, the crows and the other two had already been guided by Rania, and circled around several buildings on the edge of the cliff for several times. Finally, they climbed a hidden sightseeing elevator and slowly descended along the cliff hundreds of meters high. The one-way transparent sightseeing elevator was selected quite cleverly, and it was difficult to find its existence from other directions, but from the elevator, the steep cliff and the vast sea surface were all visible.
It was not until the sea level was about to touch the sea level that the elevator stopped at a constant speed that the three of them discovered that there was a slightly sunken area at the bottom of the cliff, which was set up as a hidden port. Even if they poked their heads out from the cliff, they could not see the existence of the port.
The port is really not small. At this time, there were seventy or eighty speedboats docked in the port, and more than a dozen medium-sized passenger ships were mixed with them. There were also some intelligent creatures with human fish heads busy on them. Although these people were not pleasing to their appearance, their bodies were exposed to their skin and covered with thin scales, they were clean and dry, and did not emit any unpleasant odor. People who were used to seeing creatures in other worlds should be able to adapt quickly, except for thinking that they were ugly.
The shape of the speedboat and passenger ship is not much different from that of other worlds, but there are no paddles or mechanical devices on it. I guess the driving method is complete...
"Do you sway?"
The huge butterfly wings shook, and the beautiful butterfly took a deep breath, pretending to be unable to hear anything, and pointed at the boat car near the dock with a smile, and said to the rose and female leopard beside her: "In recent decades, retro has become a fashion in our magic world. Just like this kind of boat car, which was originally popular in the human coastal city more than 1,300 years ago, has to hire many fishman sailors to serve as travel guards because of the need to tame the stenodon sharks, and only high aristocrats can afford it."
After a loud sound of water, the boat stopped steadily against the dock. The emperor jumped directly onto the dock, stepped on a white rune stone on the dock, and roared a few times. A few thuds, four pieces of fresh meat that were visually estimated to be at least 100 kilograms were thrown into the sea from the second floor of the port. Four sharks that had been unloaded rushed on like lightning and teared the food hard.
It was not until the fresh meat was swallowed up, and the four sharks happily circled around the boat, and then returned to the shaft to stand by. Although they were very proactive, their sharp teeth and huge mouths that were still stained with flesh and blood, and their strong body containing powerful energy still showed a fatal threat.
A dozen fishmen emerged from somewhere, and were not afraid at all, so they flexibly washed the body of the stenorous sharks several times larger than theirs in order to get up. Several others skillfully put the shaft on the carriage and prepared to set off again.
"This is why it's expensive. These monsters are so edible." Butterfly said with a wry smile. "Six meals a day, at least eighty kilograms of fresh meat are available. Moreover, these guys are very intelligent and have a more picky taste. Most wealthy people can't afford it at all. They will be left bankrupt after a few years."
"Warcraft, no wonder it is so strong." The crow didn't talk nonsense, but said thoughtfully, "It seems that it is not just because it is so grand. Why, is it very dangerous outside?"
"Oh?" Rania asked with a affectionate look over the crow's eyes, "Why do you say that?"
"Ha, your city is very cleverly arranged, and it is appreciated by both the elite and the masses. It is definitely not a nouveau riche-style pile-up style. From this, it can be seen that the decision-making level of the city should also have a foundation." The crow said with a smile. "The previous welcome ceremony was full, and the cultural heritage and special style should be displayed later. Everyone understands this principle. If it is still expensive to hit us, it would be too vulgar and would be too disgraceful."
"From your previous actions, you are not someone who can do such a kind of vulgar behavior. Judging from the attitude of your city residents, you will not force travelers to consume through regulations. That is equivalent to robbing it openly." As soon as the crow finished speaking, Rose took it, coherently as if the same person was talking. "So, whether it is a quadron to receive us with a four-carriage car or a quadron with a sixteen-carriage car can enter the deep sea, there must be a deeper intention, and the only intention we can think of is..."
"Avoid danger." The crow nodded and continued in cooperation, "Walking in the sea, danger comes either from the sky or from the sea. The sky is too obvious, and your way of avoiding is obviously not aimed at the sky, so it can only come from the sea."
"As long as organic matter is not thrown into the sea, sea beasts generally will not gather or attack large ships, because they do not realize that it is food." Rose frowned slightly and shook her head, "But this is a magic world, and there must be something special about you, such as... magic?"
"Well, it is impossible to drive speedboats and passenger ships really rely on waves, it should be the power of magic." The crow said this without embarrassing at all, as if he was not talking nonsense just now. "Dangerous sea beasts will be attracted by magic, and in desperation, they can only drive them in the original way. Well, these are... Oh, the narrow-tooth shark is very strong, and the key is that it is amazingly fast. Although it is difficult to become the top layer of the food chain, there are definitely not many sea beasts who are willing to treat them as food. Most of them should be peaceful. Therefore, no one goes into the water and does not show any magic fluctuations. Purely relying on the drag of the monsters has become the safest way to drive."
"Retro?" Rose's smile showed a faint sarcasm, "It's indeed a good excuse."
