Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 106 Seals

  The seagulls chirped and the waves crashed.

  The salty and wet sea breeze brings these noisy sounds together to the ears, forming a loud music.

   But the sailors cheered in unison.

   On the bow deck, the silhouettes of sailors wearing short-sleeved grey and white linen were already crowded.

   They rubbed shoulders, and stood on tiptoe to look at the land not far away, shouting with joy!

   "Bananka—!"

   crunch.

   On the other side, Colin also pushed open the door of the captain's room and walked out.

  The sea breeze blew gently, ruffled the golden hair on his forehead.

  ‘Bananka…’

   He stared at the clearly visible island not far away, exhaled lightly, and relaxed slightly.

   Bananka Island is coming soon.

   I finally got rid of the dangerous environment at sea, and I can breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

   After a little thought, he stepped towards the bow deck.

"grown ups."

   When the sailors saw him coming, they greeted him in unison, moved aside and made a way for him.

   There is a small deck behind the barque's bow ram, below the foremastsail.

  There is an excellent view and it is an excellent viewing platform.

  Colin hurried to the railing there and looked out.

   A half-moon-shaped prosperous port comes into view.

   At this time, as the distance got closer, the long coastline had already occupied his entire field of vision.

   On the azure sea level, there are countless ships of various shapes drifting.

   Wooden sailboats like them only account for a small part, but there are not many types——

   sloops, brigs, multi-masted, flat-bottomed, pointed-bottomed, broad-headed, narrow-headed, and even catamarans.

   Of course, there are still more steel steam ships without sails and smoking black smoke.

  woo——

  The roar of the whistle came from time to time.

  Those gray-blue steel ridges chopped through the waves under the powerful force of the steam engine, moving forward rapidly, stirring up snow-white waves.

  These steamships look similar to the steamships of the previous life, with several thick chimneys erected on the gray-blue deck.

   But if you look closely, there are still many differences.

  The steam ships in this world are more rough as a whole, and there are obvious traces of witchcraft in many details.

   The closer you get to the port.

There were more and more ships on the left and right, and Captain Lear steered the barques, keeping a safe distance from them.

   At this time, the sailors no longer gathered at the bow. Under the command of Lear, they gradually lowered their sails and sailed towards a vacant position on the pier, ready to moor.

"stop!"

  Suddenly, a rushing voice suddenly sounded on the empty deck.

   "Turn to the right, barques, you can't park in the empty space here."

   The voice continued.

   Following the faint magic energy fluctuations, Colin looked towards the source.

   On an iron watchtower not far in front of the bow, a figure in a witch robe was watching them.

   The figure noticed his gaze, and his lips moved.

   A clear voice sounded again on the deck.

   "Don't look at me, turn around quickly, there are still boats coming into the port behind!" The voice was cold and urged impatiently.

'grown ups? ' Lille stepped forward and asked hesitantly.

   "Turn." Colin said lightly, not caring about the figure's attitude.

   Do as the locals do. With such a large port in Bananka, some berthing rules are normal... The vacancy in the port may be reserved for other purposes.

  Lear nodded, turned around and instructed the sailor to control the sailboat to slowly turn around and sail towards the corner.

   "The sails are all down!"

   "Bosun, pay attention to the sea ahead, the water level here is not as deep as before."

   He kept instructing.

  Large ships are not able to choose the location at will when they are anchored and berthed.

  It is necessary to comprehensively consider the depth of seawater and the geological environment of the seabed.

  If it is too deep, the anchor cannot touch the bottom of the sea, and there is no effect of fixing the ship, and throwing it is equivalent to throwing it in vain.

  If the geology of the seabed is too soft, it is also impossible to fix the ship, which is equivalent to throwing it in vain.

  If the geology is all rock, it is very likely that the anchor will be thrown down, but it may not be able to be recovered.

  Metal anchors are easily caught by rocks and cannot be retracted.

   However, most of the nearby ports are suitable anchoring areas, so don't worry too much.

   on the watchtower.

   The figure in the witch robe watched them gradually turn and nodded in satisfaction.

  ‘This ordinary three-masted sailboat can be moored anywhere…

  The good position still has to be reserved for the steamship of the official wizards, it is too wasteful for them. ’

   "The leading wizard has never even seen a remote voice transmission... I don't know where the wild wizard from the countryside came from."

   As he thought to himself, he picked up the brown book on the table and carefully recorded Colin's clothes and appearance.

  【Blonde blue pupil. 】

  【He looks handsome. 】

   He thought for a moment, and then filled in the word "very" in the middle.

  【Age between ten and thirty years old. 】

  【Wears a gray witch robe with a triangular coat of arms. 】

  【The ship is an ordinary three-masted sailing ship that is somewhat worn. 】

  【…】

  [Note: I haven't seen remote voice transmission, maybe it's a wild wizard from a small place. 】

   After writing this, he closed the notebook and put it aside.

   continued to command the ship to moor.

   For information like this, the fur seals at the dock come to him every day to buy it.

   For him, it is also an extra high income.

  Puff!

   A huge black anchor dropped into the water from the bow.

  Ding~ding~ding.

   The thick chain attached to the anchor head made the sound of metal crashing.

   The dull sound of the anchor bottoming out came.

With a    squeak, the sailboat, which was still moving slowly, suddenly stopped in place.

   Not for a while.

  The two small boats were lowered from the ship's side near the port, and then headed for the pier.

   Before the boat arrived at the dock, the noisy voice gradually reached Colin's ears.

  Vendors hawking, brokers soliciting customers, passers-by chatting.

  Although I haven’t seen the specific scene yet, but I can imagine just by the sound, it must be a very lively scene.

   The port is an excellent location for the market due to the dense and frequent flow of people.

   In the past, Heishi Island was a small island, which was basically closed to the outside world. Without outsiders, naturally a port market like this could not be formed.

   Hearing the clamorous voice, Colin was not looking forward to it.

   didn't make him wait too long.

   Under the vigorous rowing of the sailors, they soon arrived at the pier.

   Stepping on the pier, Colin caught sight of the bustling scene as he expected!

   In the wide open space, crowds come and go.

   Some are wearing knight armor, some are wearing witch robes, and some are aliens with long horns or extra tails.

  Between the crowds, there are also large and small carriages pulling goods and passengers.

   From time to time, a thick steam locomotive can be seen passing by with black smoke.

   Farther away, there are stalls set up by various vendors.

   This scene looks messy at first glance, but at a closer look it reveals a unique order.

   The sailors behind who had never seen this scene were dumbfounded.

   Sister Renee also had a nervous look in her eyes, and subconsciously moved closer to him.

   "Let's go, find a place to live first." He strode forward with Renee.

   As for the crew behind him.

   Before he disembarked, he had already explained everything to them.

   He will always set sail again soon after.

   And the crew were just ordinary people, and the ship was just a dilapidated three-masted sailing ship.

   Ocean voyages are too dangerous for both people and ships.

   So, when he arrived at Bananka Island, he was separated from the crew.

"Big……"

  Lear, who was shocked with his mouth wide open behind his back, saw him leave, and immediately wanted to call out subconsciously.

   But soon, he reacted and swallowed the unfinished words back into his stomach.

   Colin has made it very clear to them.

  Staying on Bananka Island is their best option...

but.

   Looking at the unfamiliar things around him, he was inevitably a little worried and miniature.

   But he turned around and swept over the large group of sailors gathered behind him, thinking of their three-masted sailboats docked in the port,

   His heart suddenly calmed down again.

   Not long.

   After some discussion, the crew also stepped forward and gradually merged into the surrounding crowd.

   Wait for another chapter
