Arcane Universe

Starting from the central part of Owendale, the eastern coastline of the northern continent of Salen turns into a curve that bends westward. This curve is about 2,000 kilometers north of Port Taryn. In this place, the curvature suddenly increased. At this location, the eastern mountainous area was completely separated from the land, and plunged into the Eastern Sea, forming an archipelago with a width of three to four thousand kilometers and a length of tens of thousands of kilometers. The archipelago belt has been crossing the equator, crossing the southern equatorial ocean current, and then gradually disappearing.

This surprisingly large and number of archipelago belts in the eastern ocean were originally a paradise for the Sahua murlocs, and the core territory of the former Ocean Goddess.

The battle between the gods of the ocean and the goddess of the ocean, Ambosai, mainly took place in these islands.

This cruel battle lasted for hundreds of years, and finally ended with the victory of the God of the Sea.

Today, this Sea Territory has become the territory of the Goddess of the Sea and the Goddess of Commerce. In this archipelago, there are more than ten island nations with the Goddess of the Sea and the God of Commerce as their state religion. Hou Guo is countless.

Now this Sea Territory has become the kingdom of humans, mermaids, and sea elves.

Humans build their homes on the islands, while the mermaid and sea elves live in the sea between the islands. Under the belief of the god of the sea, the three races are in this originally crisis-ridden island Sea Territory. , Operating a safe business way.

Compared to the West Coast route, the route here is safer and there are many supplies along the way. There is neither the threat of the Nether Darkness Region nor the sea monsters. Even if the encounter is difficult, if the luck is not bad, you will be mermaid. Or the sea elves help.

Although it is inevitable that there are pirates hiding in the archipelago, under the combined attack of the ocean church, various island nations, and the mermaid and sea elves, it is not a climate.

Therefore, the Eastern Sea coast route is the most prosperous one of the maritime trade routes on the North Continent.

Take this route, in addition to transporting Tyron’s alchemical products to the Glory Empire or the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, and transporting the specialties of the Glory Empire and the Kingdom of Ice and Snow to Port Tyron, it can also be purchased in the Eastern Islands. To a large number of seafood, such as all kinds of magic pearls, precious minerals produced in the ocean, alchemy materials from ocean magic beasts… These seafoods are lucrative regardless of whether they are transported to Tyron or moved to the Glory Empire. .

Feng Chou’s strange city at this time is named Port Kavien, which is a very famous city in the eastern archipelago.

Port Kavien is the capital of the island nation of the Kingdom of Shortland, and the island of Kavien on which it is located is also the largest island in the Kingdom of Shortland.

Kavien Island is located 1,700 kilometers northeast of Port Taryn. It is a shining pearl in the archipelago formed by the separation of the eastern mountain range from the mainland.

This island is about a thousand kilometers away from the coast, just at the end of the north equatorial ocean current. From here, you can follow the coastal ocean current northward to the holy light empire, and southward you can descend southward. The coastal currents easily reach the city of Tyrone.

Even in the tens of thousands of islands in the eastern archipelago, the environment of Kavien Island is outstanding. The ocean currents passing through the island make this Sea Territory extremely rich in fish resources. The fisherman almost walked out of the door to catch a large amount of seafood at his fingertips.

In addition to its excellent environment, Kavien Island’s own conditions are also blessed by heaven. It is located in the subtropical zone and belongs to the subtropical ocean climate, with abundant rainfall and humid climate, suitable for crop growth. More than half of the 10,000 square kilometers of land is fertile farmland. Most of the mountainous areas on Kavien Island are concentrated in the east and south of the island, just to block the storm from the sea on the western plains.

The Kavien family created one duchy, one marquise, and two earls on this rich island.

Relying on its own superior conditions, the Kavien family firmly holds the throne of the king of the Kingdom of Shortland.

The Kingdom of Shortland is actually a United Kingdom. It is composed of three principalities headed by the Duke of Kavien, six princes, and more counties, including counties close to the mainland. Sea Territory with hundreds of islands and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

As an extremely important hub on the eastern sea trade route and the southern mainland trade route, Port Kavien is undoubtedly extremely prosperous. It is a huge city with a population of more than 500,000 and is the Eastern Sea Islands. The second largest city in China.

Feng Chou hurriedly teleported out of the city after releasing hundreds of detection pigeons and a transfer station simulation eagle in Port Kavien.

In the next few days, the silhouettes of Feng Chou appeared one by one in some prosperous cities on the Eastern Archipelago Commercial Road.

Every time he goes to a city, he will release some artificial birds, and then leave in a hurry.

Feng Chou’s last stop is a seaport city more than 2,000 kilometers east of Kavien.

The island on which this port city called Parita is located is not big, but the port is extremely prosperous.

Parita is a port on the eastern edge of the Eastern Sea archipelago belt. This port is facing the middle of the North Equatorial Current from the east. It is a merchant ship returning from the southern continent. It has experienced a long distance The location of the first port encountered after an unsupply voyage is very important.

Most of the merchant ships returning from the southern mainland have to anchor, rest, and supplement on this island.

This is the main reason why this harbor is so prosperous.

After Feng Chou was transmitted to Parita, hundreds of detection pigeons and a transfer station simulation eagle were still released, but after releasing these pigeons and simulation eagles, Feng Chou not at all sent away again , He waited in a hotel for two days.

In two days, the investigating pigeons collected a huge amount of information, which was processed by the Universe Pagoda spirit and finally given to Feng Chou hundreds of candidates.

Feng Chou taking advantage of the night, according to the information given by the Universe Pagoda spirit, one night, more than 300 people’s top secrets were collected into the Universe Pagoda.

With these more than 300 people, Feng Chou took back the bird and sent it away from Parita Port.

Feng Chou teleported to the sea thousands of kilometers away from Parita Port, driving out another steam-magic hybrid ship of the Universe Pagoda Spirit.

When this ship sailed out of Tali World, there were already more than 300 crew members on board. These crew members woke up at the same time after the ship left Pagoda Universe. They started naturally. They were all very skilled in maneuvering the ship in their respective positions, as if they had been working in this position for a long time.

Of course, these crew members were Feng Chou’s people who had received Universe Pagoda in Port Parrita before. After they were admitted to Universe Pagoda by Feng Chou, they were all used by Universe Pagoda to compile various memories with large-scale illusions.

In the memory of these crew members, they have been working on this “Warrior” for a long time.

With more and more common experiences, Feng Chou has more and more confidence in Universe Pagoda.

If before the Patrick incident, Feng Chou would never dare to use Universe Pagoda to do such a large-scale memory change, but the Patrick incident gave Feng Chou great confidence, so this time he Going to take a chance.

Feng Chou stood on the bridge, watching the strange crew passing by him greet him familiarly, and an absurd feeling arose in his heart.

According to the arrangement of the Universe Pagoda spirit, Feng Chou’s identity on the Warrior is not the captain, but the owner.

As for the captain of the Warrior, in the crew’s memory, he has died during the voyage. Not only the captain, but also the second mate, and three pictures have been killed in battle. At this time, the owner is temporarily acting as an agent. captain.

The place where the Warrior entered the real world is in the northeast of Parita Island. From this location, if you go to Parita Island, it will not be worth the loss. It is better to go directly to the other side behind Parita Island. A port city.

Under the order of Feng Chou, the Warrior bypassed Parrita Island and entered the depths of the archipelago belt…

Along the way, the Warrior visited one port after another. Feng Chou, while purchasing the Eastern Sea specialties, sells goods brought from the southern mainland while secretly reaping the talents collected by birds and sparrows.

Of course, these goods from the South Continent were not brought by the Warrior, but they were bought by him during the few months he was active in the South Continent. The quantity is not too much, but it is absolutely authentic. Is enough.

Every time the Warrior leaves a harbour, it will return to the Universe Pagoda at sea. When the ship sails out of the Universe Pagoda again, there will be more members on board, but the previous members will never be surprised. .

When the Warrior made a round in the most densely populated area of ​​the Eastern Archipelago, the crew and passengers on board had reached two thousand.

Among these people, with the exception of more than 1,000 sailors, the rest are leaders recruited by shipowners for their territories in the South Continent. Most of these leaders are born in slums and are of a small grade. Some are orphans. Some were betrayed by their parents, and some were betrayed by relatives.

After boarding the ship, the teenagers who have purchased will be cleaned and given off clean clothes. They will eat white bread and bacon and fruits that they can’t even think of in the slums before. They are very frightened. Will soon be comforted.

After the last stop of the Warrior, it passed through Port Kavien and turned to the southwest, following the coastal currents towards Port Tyron.

At this time, there were more than 1,200 crew members on the Warrior, which was double the rated crew. Feng Chou also recruited excellent captains, first mates, second mates, and sailors for the Warriors. Long waited for many talents.

The new captain of the Warrior is named Adok. He is a Kavien. He has driven sailing ships to the southern continent several times and successfully returned.

After earning enough money, Captain Adok and his owner jointly purchased a magic merchant ship.

In order to control this magic-armed merchant ship, Adok spent a lot of money and changed his job into a rare Arcane Knight branch advanced professional “Magic Captain”, this advanced professional The magic list is not designed for combat, but for better driving and commanding the magic ship. Only on the magic ship can they play the greatest value.

The magic ship was once the most important outer guard and mobile battle strength of Arcanist’s aerostat and Floating Void City. A Floating Void City is often equipped with hundreds of magic ships.

To control these magic ships, you need a large number of wizards, as everyone knows, the number of innate talents who have become wizards among humans is extremely rare, even in the Arcane Empire, the proportion of wizards among humans has not exceeded the present Twice.

The number of wizards on Floating Void City simply cannot meet the needs of the magic ship.

In order to solve this problem, Arcanists have designed the “Magic Captain” branch of Arcane Knight. Arcanists have meticulously designed a spell list for this advanced occupation, and even designed it specifically for it. Proprietary magic, so that the “magic captain” can even better control and command the magic ship than the archmage.

The real “magic captain” is a Grandmaster Rank professional. Although Captain Adok is an eighteenth-level fighter himself, he does not have enough money to transfer to the real magic captain, so he can only choose A low-level version of Captain Magic.

There are three low-level versions of the advanced profession of Captain Magic, one is “Magic Helmsman”, specializing in the control of magic ships, and the other is “Magic Gunner”, specializing in the operation of magic cannons. And maintenance, both of these are high-level occupations, and there is another type called “magic sailor” that can replace the ordinary crew composed of intermediate mages on the magic ship, and belongs to the intermediate professional.

The sub-class “Magic Helmsman” chosen by Captain Adok.

Fortunately, Captain Adok wants to control the magic ship, not the real magic ship, so the magic helmsman is more than enough.

Next, the high-spirited and vigorous captain of Captain Adok, driving his half-owned magic merchant ship, once again embarked on a journey to the South Continent.

But I don’t know if Captain Adok’s good luck has run out. The magical merchant ship he commanded was attacked by the battleship of the goblin black liquid pirate group on the way back from the southern continent. Eventually the entire army was wiped out, and even Captain Adok became a prisoner.

Next, Captain Adok was turned into a slave by the captain of the black liquid pirate group using a devil contract, and became a slave captain in the black liquid pirate group.

Adok’s slave career lasted for a full ten years. After waiting for ten years in agony, he finally waited for his chance.

The leader of the black liquid pirate regiment was beheaded by the Amazons during the conflict with the Amazon Bloodsail pirates, and Adolk was liberated at once.

With the prestige accumulated over the past ten years, Adok persuaded some of his subordinates to follow him to escape from the black liquid pirates. In the end, they successfully eliminated the iron black liquid pirates on board and seized the magic power he commanded. Pirate Ship.

Adok led the people who followed him and drove the captured magic pirate ship on his way home.

However, Adok did not return home to reunite with his family, but to take revenge.

As early as the third year when he was forced to become a black liquid pirate captain as a slave, he heard something from the crew of his hometown merchant ship looted by black liquid pirates.

Adock is almost a household name on Kavien Island. He started from scratch as a downright nobleman with only a knighthood left. He started as a naval officer and later became the captain of the merchant ship, driving a sailing ship into the South Continent. , And successfully returned to the voyage, and then had his own sailing ship, once again ran through the southern continent, and once again miraculously returned to the voyage successfully.

The reason why the word miracle is used is that sailing ships account for almost half of the merchant ships that go from the North Continent to the South Continent every year, and less than 40% of the merchant ships returning from the South Continent Among them, sailboats accounted for less than 20%! For sailboats on the southern mainland route, the success probability is almost only one-tenth!

Adok’s two successes caused a great sensation in Kavien, the hometown of sailors, and the sailors who followed him have never been poor paupers and become rich people. , Which made him an idol in Kavien.

So the subsequent encounters of the Addok family are also well known in Kavien.

From the mouth of the sailor in his hometown, Adoc learned that when the mana merchant ship he drove was wiped out and returned home, his old boss, also his friend, used forged loans. The contract seized his property and drove his wife and children out of their homes.

Since then, the belief in supporting Adok has changed from missing his wife and children to revenge.
