After breakfast, Shade bid farewell to the ladies at home and went to Moon Bay again. After taking the coins from the Dragon Altar as usual, he had just walked out of the cave outside the dragon's nest when he was surrounded by the large crowd of people outside. The fog is choking:
"Ahem, what is this?"
This fog is not just in the northeast of the city. In fact, the entire Yuewan area was surrounded by heavy fog this morning, which even included the waters near the pier of Yuewan Port.
After entering the city, the visibility of ordinary people may be less than ten meters. When walking in the fog, you can only see the dazzling lights in all directions.
Because of this, even the carriage did not dare to move forward quickly. A lantern was hung on the carriage, and the driver very carefully controlled the horse to move forward slowly. This speed was not as fast as Shade's own walking.
The fog itself has no elements, but a strong smell of burning and industrial waste gas. Shade has never seen such a heavy fog since he visited Moon Bay.
The local coachman explained:
"Sir, autumn in Yuewan is a season of heavy fog. Although this city is not famous for its steam industry, the local steam industry is actually more developed than most cities in the country. This is the first time I have experienced such heavy fog in summer. Please walk slowly, please don’t be anxious, safety first.”
Belindel Manor was to receive guests from the church today, so Shade's goal was Yuewan Pier. Because the carriage was too slow, Shade got off the car midway, and then turned into a dexterous cat and walked quickly across the roof. .
On a foggy Sunday, you don’t have to worry about being seen by others. And it’s okay if you see it. After all, it’s normal for cats to run around on the roof.
On the Moon Bay Pier, sailors and workers were still working hard in the fog. The reduced visibility made the originally open sea seem to be covered by a light-transmitting gray curtain, but they wanted to find the "Glory Messenger" from the pier. It's still very easy.
The time has come to nine o'clock in the morning, and the girls on the ship have also woken up. From the outside, the cruise ship is not particularly large, but after entering the interior, it is found that the real space is still the original appearance of the "Glory Messenger".
It was also said to be the largest ship built by mortals at that time.
"Good morning, Shade."
The captain's cabin is extremely spacious and divided into three levels with two low steps. When Shade came, Megan and Luvia were standing in front of the wheel on the top floor. Then Shade heard about Miss Aurora. In the power room at the bottom of the cabin with Miss Elise, the witch was very curious about the structure of the ship.
"Wait a minute, isn't this ship powered by Miss Elisa's spirit? The power room?"
Shade asked suspiciously, and Megan smiled and said:
"Yes, so the power room is useless, but that is also the original structure of the ship. If it is filled with fuel, it can still be used. Miss Elisa herself also prepared fuel on the ship in case of emergency. Xiwei was curious about what happened at that time Steam power system, of course, I'm also curious about this ship built in the Fifth Age."
"This ship is really big, and even with dozens of us living in it, it seems very empty. I took a walk around the ship last night and almost got lost."
Luvia also said with a smile.
"When we were in the Sunless Sea, Miss Teresa said that the ship was fully loaded with 2,224 passengers and 892 crew members, but in fact this was the number of people set for comfort, and no amount could be more."
Shade curiously touched the steering wheel in the captain's cabin with his hand, so little Mia ran down following his hand and squatted on the steering wheel with a good sense of balance.
"This can be completely used as a sea base."
Meghan continued:
"Before going to bed last night, everyone mentioned this matter while chatting in the restaurant. Even if the thirteen great witches of the Witch Council gathered together, and all the core followers were present, this ship would be able to fully accommodate it.
but."
She lowered her voice:
"Before you came, Luvia and I talked about another thing. What's interesting is that this ship is still a complete cruise ship. In addition to being equipped with dozens of cannons to fight pirates, whether it is the hull itself or other parts
, none of them have been transformed by the obvious power of witches or the power of the fifth era."
Luvia continued:
"Miss Elisa herself said that after she left the Sunless Sea with you, she lived with the Witch Emperor for many years before falling into a long sleep. So during her activities, there is no reason not to modify the ship.
.She herself mentioned to us that modifying the ship would not affect her."
Shade thought for a moment:
"This is indeed strange. If I ask her directly, wouldn't she know the reason?"
"No."
Megan immediately shook her head:
"Luvia and I have already speculated that maybe if this ship is contaminated with too much power from the Fifth Era, Miss Elisa and it will not be able to reach the current Sixth Era.
What exactly happened at the end of the Fifth Era is still a mystery. Too much information and records were lost at that time, as if civilization was suddenly cut off, leaving only a few fragments to form the Sixth Era."
"Many things that should have continued to appear in the Sixth Era never appeared again after the end of the previous era. Those Witch Emperors seemed to have died together at the same moment. No powerful witches appeared in the early Sixth Era.
I think there must be a reason why Miss Elisa was able to successfully open her eyes in the sixth era, and it’s not just good luck."
Luvia looked at Shade with a serious expression;
"If Meghan and I are right, she is an experiment."
"Sorry, what?"
"Miss Violet and Miss Teresa are experimenting on how to enter the Sixth Age and see your experimental subjects. Miss Elisa herself must know this. The most important thing about this experiment is her cooperation. And
Since she didn't mention this to us, we can't ask it ourselves, because there are too many things we don't know and we must be cautious."
Megan looked up at the spacious captain's cabin and the Fifth Age-style decorations inside:
"She will definitely not be the only girl who successfully came to the Sixth Age. Shade, after Luvia and I thought about this possibility, we even suspected that there might be many ancient witches who had encountered you.
You are lying somewhere sleeping peacefully, waiting to wake up again and appear next to you at the time allowed by fate."
"I'm looking forward to that day too."
Shade nodded, he didn't feel surprised:
"We will meet again eventually. I've understood this from the beginning. If Miss Violet and the others can exist in the Sixth Age, then we will have more power when facing the end."
"Xia De, do you really expect them to appear just because they need help? Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you. It's too early to think about this now, but if the thirteenth-level witch or even the demigod witch can appear, after all,
It’s all good for us.”
Luvia patted Shade on the shoulder and looked at him with a smile on her face:
"What, what are your plans for today? This kind of foggy weather is the most likely to cause trouble. Are you going to stay on the boat, or are you going to do other things in the city?"
Shade already had a plan:
"I will go to Margaret Manor later to see how Emilia and Agelina are living. Of course, I will also go to visit Margaret. After she came to the local area, except for the beginning, I really
I couldn't spare the time to chat with her and take a walk. Oh, by the way, Megan, can you help me prepare some age-enhancing drugs? But don't worry, you can do it whenever you have time."
After all, Miss Gold will be coming at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. Even if Shade doesn't send the photo, the lady will be able to see the cat herself when she comes.
Megan nodded and agreed, and Luvia said:
"Then go quickly. You can also stay for dinner at Margaret Manor at noon. We also have things to do on the ship. In short, before the final battle comes, find more time to spend time with everyone who is thinking about you.
Personally."
The original purpose of Margaret's visit to Yuewan was to demonstrate the gentle attitude of the Anjou royal family to the citizens of Yuewan, and to help the royal family test the attitudes of the seven major families, and to contact other local nobles.
But because of the turmoil last Sunday, all the original purposes were changed to "providing post-disaster comfort on behalf of the royal family." Because as long as this one thing is done, all the above things can be achieved.
Three things turned into one thing, which made Margaret even busier. No one expected the sudden accident, so a lot of preparations before visiting Yuewan were cancelled, and many things had to be started from scratch.
consider.
Because of the above reasons, when Shade saw the blonde princess at Margaret Manor this morning, she looked a little haggard. When he greeted Shade in the study room of the manor, he cheered up a little:
"Now I really admire my father. He handles all kinds of work with such intensity all year round. Even though there are more people around him who can help than me, I can't imagine how tired he is. Fortunately, Teacher Sylvia and Lassers
Miss, please come and help me occasionally, otherwise I will be really exhausted this time."
In addition to Margaret, Emilia and Agelina are also here. The elf girl is taking care of the ornamental potted tree planted in a flower pot by the window, and the "Ocarina of Time" is planted on the tree.
The little unicorn was lying next to the coffee table eating an apple, while Agelina frowned and wrote a speech on the side of the desk. The little princess looked serious when she was working, which was very different from the past. Shade rarely saw her like this.
.
"Agelina is really amazing too."
Margaret on the sofa saw Shade looking at the little princess and also praised her:
"Her Carsonian language and grammar skills are not inferior to any professional writers I have seen, and her means and methods of handling things are also very sophisticated. Speaking of which, the princess of this generation of the Cavendish family is really
Excellent, I also know Lesiya’s level. Can it really be true that having many offspring can produce more outstanding offspring?”
