Chapter 256 Southern Cross Island(1/3)
Author: Don’t drink Coke?
Ships come and go in the port.
In addition to the houses that can be seen in the distance, the entire port is full of various platform squares used to accumulate goods and warehouses for storing goods near the sea.
There are also tracks around which ships are towed into the shipyard for maintenance.
You can even see many boats parked on the shore.
Even if you look at the entire port from a distance, you can see people coming and going like ants.
The whole port was busy, and the noisy sounds seemed to be heard here.
One after another, ships with light gray exteriors and khaki accents were patrolling the surrounding area, seemingly serving as the security force of Southern Cross Island.
Because there is a red cross star on their sails, which is the symbol of the Southern Cross Island.
They had seen it before in the book Balazs gave him.
Even at the port, the top of the tall lighthouse built on the coast is a red cross star.
"This place is so big!" Jason didn't know how to describe it for a moment, and suffered the loss of being uneducated.
They docked the Dawn Voice in the waters outside the port, waiting for ships from the local government to come over for inspection.
After a while, a gray ship about 40 meters tall with a red cross came to the side of the ship.
This ship is obviously shorter than Alka's Dawn Voice.
On the boat, a soldier wearing a white and blue navy uniform with a red cross on his chest looked up at Alka and the others.
There was something like a notepad and a quill floating next to him.
He opened his mouth and said: "New face? What exactly do you do?"
The language of home sea.
It seems strange, why is the lingua franca of this sea area the lingua franca of the home sea?
But he didn't think much about it and answered directly: "This is our first time here as a treasure hunting group."
"Treasure hunting group?" He raised his head and glanced at Alka and the others strangely.
"Okay, but remember you are not allowed to dig randomly on the island. All property on the island belongs to the Royal Family of Rafsas. Any random digging is considered theft."
Obviously, this was not the first time he had dealt with a treasure hunting group, so he spoke skillfully.
"Of course." Alka nodded and said.
As for whether it is illegal or not, you have to look at the map first to make sure.
Alka thought silently in her heart.
"Then registration is necessary now, please answer carefully."
After saying that, the notepad next to him floated in front of him. He picked up the quill floating on the notepad and started asking.
It seems that because this is the first time for Alka and the others to arrive, the process is a little complicated.
"Do you have a group name?"
"Eye of the Compass."
"How many people?"
"Um……"
"Is this question difficult to answer?" the navy asked, frowning and looking at Alka warily.
"Okay, 9 people." He thought for a moment, but still didn't include the puppet army.
"What ship? Is it a ghost ship or a spell ship?"
Hearing this question, Alka frowned slightly, which obviously touched a certain degree of privacy.
"You new ones, I'll explain it to you." He seemed to be used to it, and then started to explain directly.
"The standards of ports are different. For a ghost ship with intelligence, it must be placed in a specific port area. Of course, this will cost extra."
"Ghost Ship."
He nodded, even though he knew it was a ghost ship, it didn't surprise him much.
After recording, he tore off the entire paper, and the magic power poured into the paper, and was then thrown out by him.
The paper was folded into a cross star in the air, and then dyed red and pasted on the right side of the bow.
"This is a pass mark. Okay, you can go in now. Remember to prepare money."
After saying that, he immediately waved his hands without waiting for Alka and the others to answer, and drove the ship towards the other ships behind.
Several people on the deck looked at each other.
"It looks pretty formal."
"Okay, Dawn of Sound, let's continue driving."
Then the ship started to move slowly, the sails were furled, and the ship was propelled by the incantation on the bottom of the ship.
Driving forward slowly, they passed a white mark on the sea.
The sound of gentle music passed over.
"You said the ship was out of control?" Hearing this, Alka frowned and looked toward the bottom of the ship.
At this time, I saw that the sea current was changing, and the waves of the current slightly lifted the bottom of the entire ship.
He controlled the boat to row diagonally and swam toward a special area in the port ahead.
The cross star on the bow of the ship is flashing red light.
"Is it some kind of spell structure? I have to say it's really advanced." Simon said while looking at the current under the boat.
Not only their ships, but also the ships that entered the harbor with them.
Apparently this is normal for this port.
This avoids crowding on the ship. After all, you can't always expect these people to follow the rules and learn courtesy.
It seems that because they are ghost ships, the area they are lifted to is obviously far away from those spell ships.
The various facilities over there looked more advanced as we drove towards that area.
Everyone also saw other ships in the port area.
As soon as it passed, I could feel the surging magic power starting to ripple over.
It was a Guiding Zone.
"After artificial transformation, the concentration of magic power there is one level higher than that of the surrounding areas." Julia said, feeling the difference in that area.
And the ships in that area are much more advanced in appearance than other spell ships.
Most of them are between 40 and 60 meters in size, and each vessel has its own unique personality.
The colors are not only colorful, but also have various patterns on them, and the statues on the bows are also various.
There are some exaggerated ones.
The most eye-catching one is a 60-meter-long ship with three artillery decks, which is about three to four meters taller than Alka's ship.
However, the gun muzzles on the gun deck are closed and locked with incantations.
They were not the only ones like this. When Alka and the others' Dawn Sound drove in, the muzzle of the cannon was also sealed with a spell.
Seeing this situation, Simon nodded.
"No wonder they dare to allow our ships with rock-shattering cannons to dock in flagrantly."
As the ship slowly docked, the anchor sank to the bottom of the sea with the sound of the chain.
When Alka and the others stepped off the boat.
A naval officer came up with two soldiers.
"Hello everyone, we are the navy of Southern Cross Island. A fee of 1 gold sail is required for the docking of ships."
1 golden sail?
How is this different from robbery?
But Alka didn't say much and silently took out a golden sail.
Obviously the government of this place knows very well that the people who own the ghost ship don't care about the money at all.
And this Guiding Area, as well as the supporting facilities nearby, are indeed very good from the outside.
But it's definitely not worth the price.
It’s my first time here, so I want to see more.
Seeing Alka and the others so happy, the navy captain was also a little surprised.
He was sure that he had never seen this ship or this group of people.
