"I'm so careless. I forgot that His Majesty secretly mobilized military forces from various cities to support the front line. As a result, Xiayu City now has no one available."
After several people walked out of the city lord's mansion, they sighed.
Due to the tight combat power on the front line, even border cities like Xiayu City have suffered the fate of deploying troops.
Xiayu City is located in the extreme south of the empire. Generally, there will be no military attacks at all, so their troops are usually only used to protect the people from being attacked by sea soul beasts.
But at this critical juncture, the threat of the sea soul beast is not worth mentioning.
Only a small number of troops were left in Xiayu City to maintain order, while the rest rushed to the border battlefield.
Therefore, the city lord could not allocate manpower to help them.
The few people who had just come out were dejected and walked with a heavy heart. If no one was there to pilot the boat, they would have to face the unknown sea conditions alone. Not to mention the danger, it would be easy for them to gain nothing.
But Meng Hongchen suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Huo Yuhao excitedly: "By the way, Yuhao, do you remember Xiayu Academy? We can go to them for help. As a soul master academy, they definitely need to go out to sea to hunt. Those who have improved their soul beast strength must be very familiar with sea feelings."
When Huo Yuhao heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately became confused. Yes, how could he forget this?
The spirit shown by Xiayu College in the Soul Master Competition was valued by Meng Hongchen, and he and Jing Hongchen jointly discussed that the two colleges should have more exchanges and learning after the competition.
But it was temporarily delayed due to the war, and now they happened to arrive at Xiayu City, where Xiayu College is located.
"Let's go to Xiayu College!"
After listening to Meng Hongchen's suggestion, Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said with a smile.
Xiayu College is located in the southeast area of Xiayu City, not far from the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiayu College has a very good academic style, and both civilians and official forces in Xiayu City highly respect them.
Huo Yuhao asked for directions just now. When the Xiayu people heard that they were going to Xiayu College, they helped them with directions very enthusiastically, allowing Huo Yuhao and the others to feel the enthusiasm of the Xiayu people.
The construction of Xiayu College is not impressive because they don’t have that much money.
Although it is a soul engineering college, their soul guidance tools cannot be sold at a high price. Xiayu City itself uses too little and cannot compete with other colleges when selling them to other cities. Therefore, the scale of Xiayu College is the same.
Without money, it would be difficult for the Soul Guidance Academy to develop.
However, although Xiayu College is poor, its spirit is comparable to that of most soul master colleges. It must have inherited the spirit of their creators, which is very rare.
Jing Hongchen also appreciated this in them and agreed to Meng Hongchen's request.
"Hello, could you please help us find someone, Min Qiao, she is our friend, we are from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."
Arriving at the door of Xiayu College, Meng Hongchen asked the guard guarding the door.
Min Qiao was the opponent she met in the competition, an opponent with a mutated solar attribute martial spirit.
The soul master is very powerful, but the soul master's cultivation is average, and he is targeted by the evil soul master.
After the game, they would not know each other without fighting, and became friends with Meng Hongchen.
"Even the poorest soul master academy is much richer than the average soul master academy."
Huo Yuhao looked at Xiayu College, which was slightly shabby compared to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master College, and then thought of the soul master colleges he saw during his travels in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and made a comparison.
"That's for sure. Some colleges in the Douluo Three Kingdoms have a history of even more years, but they have only been renovated a handful of times. The Soul Engineer College is different. Technology is advancing. If the equipment is not updated from time to time, some research cannot be done."
"Based on my observations these days, many newer equipment are too small to fit in old houses, so they have to be rebuilt."
When the Snow Emperor heard Huo Yuhao's sigh, she made a judgment based on her own observations.
"Snow Emperor, it seems that you are very familiar with the human world. Hehe, I am still worried that you can't adapt to the human world. It seems that I am too worried."
Huo Yuhao was a little surprised when he heard the Snow Emperor's judgment, and spoke to the Snow Emperor through his mental connection.
The Snow Emperor gave Huo Yuhao a nice look. Her learning ability was very strong, and Huo Yuhao really looked down on her.
However, the Snow Emperor would not be angry because of this. Huo Yuhao still cared about her after all, which made the Snow Emperor a little happy.
Not long after the guards from Xiayu College left, they quickly rushed to the gate with the two of them.
"Are you a distinguished guest from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy?"
One of the two people brought by the guards was Min Qiao, and the other, Huo Yuhao and the others, had never met before and should be another elder of the college.
He looked slightly anxious, and he obviously paid great attention to the visitors from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
"Hello, senior, we are from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Previously, the dean of our school, His Excellency Jing Hongchen, intended to communicate with your school, but due to the difficulties of the empire, it was delayed. I hope senior will not blame you."
The senior came to greet him in person, Huo Yuhao said with a very good attitude.
"What are you saying, little friend? There is something going on in the empire. It is the time when Mingdetang is serving. How can our Xiayu College delay Lord Hongchen's business for a small loss? It is already good that Lord Hongchen has such a heart."
Senior Xiayu returned the greeting.
"Brother Huo, this is the dean of our Xiayu College, Mr. Liang Wei."
Min Qiao watched the dean and Huo Yuhao salute each other from behind, and introduced them with a smile.
They were meeting for the first time, so they naturally had to be polite, so she needed to introduce them.
"Dean Liang, disrespectful."
Knowing the other party's identity, Huo Yuhao once again raised his hands and bowed.
"You're so polite, little friend, please come in."
Dean Liang Wei smiled slightly and his heart moved slightly. Huo Yuhao's attitude made him feel very comfortable. No matter what their purpose was, no one would refuse polite people.
"Dean Liang, to be honest, we came here to ask for something."
After Huo Yuhao was brought into the reception hall of the college and sat down, he directly explained his purpose to Liang Wei.
They were not here to fulfill Jing Hongchen's promise. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance, because there were no elders, nor did they notify Xiayu College in advance.
How could the college exchange program send a group of young people to be so straightforward?
Liang Wei also had some guesses about this.
As soon as he heard Huo Yuhao's request, his slightly nervous mood relaxed a lot.
It's just one trip to the sea. Such a simple request is nothing. They don't know how many times they have to go to sea every year just off the coast of Xiayu City.
When Huo Yuhao and others suddenly visited, Liang Wei thought it was something else, such as forced recruitment or something.
You know, Xiayu City's guard force has been mobilized a lot.
If things don't go well on the front line, the next step is to recruit them. Although it shouldn't be a group of kids looking for them, this is a critical moment, and who can say for sure what will happen.
It's not that Liang Wei doesn't want to fight, it's just that Xiayu Academy is a group of children, and Liang Wei can't accept it if they are allowed to go to the battlefield.
Fortunately, this was not the case, Liang Wei was slightly happy.
"It's a trivial matter, little friend Huo, our Xiayu College depends on the sea. Many times the soul guide cannot be sold, so we can only sell some seafood."
"The same is true for many men in Xiayu City. Most of them are ordinary people and they will definitely not be able to compete with us. Once we compete with them for this way of living, many men in Xiayu City will have no way of living."
"So, we relied on the extraordinary advantages of the soul master to develop the offshore fishery. Huo Xiaoyou's request happened to be our strength."
"Whether you are looking for powerful sea soul beasts or ocean fishing, you need strong ocean-going capabilities. Even if you go to the City Lord's Mansion, you may not have such good resources as Xiayu Academy."
Liang Wei said a lot at once, revealing everything about Xiayu College.
He didn't want to hide anything from Huo Yuhao and others. He had already learned Huo Yuhao's identity through Min Qiao. This young man had great strategic significance even for the Sun and Moon Empire.
Xiayu College has been in a corner for many years. If we don't seize the opportunity now, how can we wait?
When Liang Wei said that they also sold seafood, he saw Huo Yuhao frowning obviously. He quickly made up for it, and Huo Yuhao relaxed his brows.
"I see. It seems that Xiayu College is so respected in Xiayu City and it is inseparable from your college's style. If it is an ordinary strong college, it really can't be so thoughtful."
Huo Yuhao told what he saw about the respect Xiayu people had for Xiayu College, which made Dean Liang Wei very happy.
After the two parties discussed it, Dean Liang Wei personally led Huo Yuhao and his party to their ocean pier to see the ship.
If they want to find a sea soul beast that meets the required soul ring age for Huo Yuhao's team, they have to travel a long way. Even Xiayu Academy's ordinary ocean routes cannot satisfy them, and they have to travel even further.
Liang Wei led Huo Yuhao and others gradually to a large ship. It was leaning quietly in the harbor, and its huge hull gave people a sense of oppression.
After Huo Yuhao and his party saw this ship, they all had a feeling.
Only the Sun and Moon Empire could build such a shocking ship. When this ship appeared in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, they all had to consider how Xu Tianran managed to get over it.
After all, there is no space soul guide in this world that can carry this thing.
As for Douluo Three Kingdoms, he created it himself?
Haha, stop joking.
"Little friend Huo, this is the best-performing ship in our Xiayu College. It has just been repaired recently, so you can use it. Of course, the war between the Sun and Moon Empire is about to begin, and we don't have any big voyage missions in the near future, so... It can’t be said that you are extremely lucky.”
Liang Wei noticed the expressions of Huo Yuhao and others when they saw the ship. They were quite old, and he felt secretly proud.
His pride barely covered up his pride, and his last words made Huo Yuhao and the others roll their eyes.
Of course, evil will definitely not occur because of this. If they can build such a magnificent ship, they can be proud to the sky.
But this thing is definitely not a simple soul guidance device, because it is impossible for any soul guidance device to be of this scale, and it cannot be the work of one person.
Even if that soul engineer is a level 12 soul engineer, it is impossible.
Liang Wei then explained that the development of Soul Guidance Technology has greatly promoted the development of metal manufacturing industry, and this steel ship is a by-product of the development of Dingsheng Soul Guidance Technology.
Huo Yuhao and others accepted this setting. They were extremely shocked and asked Dean Liang Wei the name of the ship. This was the rule of the soul master. The ship had to be given a name. Its grade was enough to give it a name.
"It's called the Blue Discovery, and it carries our vision of exploring the ocean. After all, no human being has ever entered the deep sea. There may be unknown land beyond the ocean. Before the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent bordered, No one knew there was such rich land beyond the ocean.”
"If we could have contacted Douluo first, maybe there would not have been a failure in the holy war."
Dean Liang Wei was quite emotional.
His words made the Hongchen brother and sister feel very sympathetic. This was a feeling that only people from the Sun and Moon Empire could experience. In this regard, Huo Yuhao could not empathize.
"Okay, little friend Huo, please go back and have a rest first. The Blue Discovery needs to prepare some things before it goes to sea. Let's prepare it first. We can set sail in two days."
After feeling that it was almost done, Liang Wei reminded Huo Yuhao and others.
"Yes, Dean Liang."
The moment Huo Yuhao saw the ship, he knew that this was not a voyage that could be started in a short time.
It takes a lot of time to learn how to operate this ship. The five of them will definitely not be able to sail it. They can only wait for Dean Liang to gather the crew before setting off.
At night.
In the room that Dean Liang arranged for Huo Yuhao and others, the five of them gathered together to discuss something.
There was a sea map among them, which was given to them by Dean Liang. It showed the sea conditions detected by Xiayu City over the years.
Although it is not certain where there are high-level soul beasts, there are several fairly safe routes.
In other words, as long as they don't follow the route, they will encounter the spirit beast. It is simply a genius idea.
Although it sounds a bit stupid, I have to say that there is indeed a bit of genius in it.
"The navigation of the Blue Discovery does not require much soul power. I wonder if that genius came up with it. He used soul power transmission to control a strange-looking wheel, allowing him to drive the ship, instead of directly using soul power. Propelling the ship to sail.”
"After such transmission, the soul power that drives such a large ship to sail has been drastically reduced. Even at our level, we can drive it to sail a long distance. If the five of us are together, it will be easier."
"However, after we encounter the powerful sea soul beast, we will need soul power to activate several defense formations on the ship. I don't know what level of attack the few of us can withstand."
Xiao Hongchen said to everyone after studying the Blue Discovery.
"As long as the navigation problem is solved, don't we need the covetousness of the Sea Soul Beast? Otherwise, why would we come so far?"
Huo Yuhao took over what Xiao Hongchen said. He didn't have time to study the Blue Discovery. He was studying the route.
The ocean is three-dimensional, so you need to be wary of attacks from the bottom of the sea, and mental detection is not as clear in the water as in the air.
The ocean will reduce some of the detection distance, making them more vulnerable to threats.
But this is exactly what Huo Yuhao wants. Except for Xiao Hongchen, their team lacks soul rings. Without some soul beasts, how can they find a suitable one?
