After Wang got on the mast, the first thing he did was to pat Xiao Bai on the back of the head: "Become a different animal, the leopard's spine touches the butt."
Xiaobai suddenly turned back into a human and shouted: "Then you won't come down? This observation tower is so big!"
"You just took all the positions. You were a leopard just now! So big!" Wang also made a good gesture with his hand.
Xiaobai: "Blame me? Humph, I won't take you down later! I'll turn into a bird and fly down!"
Wang: "It's okay. I specially prepared the Feather Falling Technique today to prevent me from falling from the mast."
Xiaobai: "The boat is moving forward, and you will fall into the water! I won't save you."
Wang: "First, I can swim. Second, I have inertia. Although my speed may be different from that of the boat due to various reasons when I fall, this time should be enough for me to catch the boat. The rope."
In order to operate the sails, the boat Wang and his team took also had a lot of ropes, and it looked almost like a sea ship - of course, this was the rough view of a layman with no experience at sea.
Xiaobai looked at Wang and thought for a few seconds, then shook his head: "I don't understand. Anyway, you can go down by yourself later? I also want to turn into an eagle or something and catch you down. What is that?"
Wang lowered his head and looked at the thing he had just taken out: "This? This is called a telescope. It is a dwarf handicraft. It can see things in the distance. It is also called the three treasures of navigation along with the sextant and the compass."
Xiaobai: "Why do you have everything?"
"Of course, I'm going on a trip, so I naturally have to prepare more. But it's limited to what can be found in the mage tower."
Xiaobai: "Then do you have anything to eat?"
Wang Momo took out a bean and said, "Yes. This is what my junior uncle brought when he came back from a trip to a certain plane. If you eat one, you won't be hungry for a day."
Xiaobai: "Can I have a taste?"
The mage nodded.
Xiaobai grabbed it and swallowed it in one gulp. Then she immediately looked depressed: "It's not sweet! And it tastes like rice."
Wang: "Yes, my junior uncle has studied it. This is starch with ultra-high energy density. Ever since he introduced this thing to the Mage Tower, the teachers in the tower who are obsessed with research have gone crazy. They don't eat it at all. They throw it away when they are hungry. One pill will solve the problem.
“Later they discovered that if people don’t eat, their intestines will shrink and they will get sick.
"The disease may not be successfully treated with the disease removal scroll. All the scrolls in the tower are used up, and there are no priests. No one can cast the disease removal magic, so I had to urgently purchase a large number of disease removal scrolls from other planes. Remove scroll of disease.”
Xiaobai: "I suddenly felt that being a mage was quite interesting. When I first came out of the tribe, I wanted to see what a mage was like, so I turned into a little bird and watched outside the window of a female mage apprentice for a whole day. As a result, I found that she had been reading, reading, and reading.”
While Wang picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, he responded: "The main thing is that our Mage Tower is different. Our teaching policy... pays more attention to practice. After all, the founder has that kind of personality."
Xiaobai looked at Wang suspiciously: "Then you taught a nerd?"
Wang: "My experimental scores are very high! Whether it is magic experiments or scientific experiments, they are all very high!"
Xiaobai: "What is an experiment?"
"that is……"
"Ah, I won't listen, I won't listen! It must be something difficult to understand again!"

Elizabeth was circling under the mast at this time. After walking a few steps, she looked up and looked at the two people at the top.
The dwarf was smoking next to her. Seeing her like this, he asked: "How about you let the druid transform into a bird and pull you up? Why didn't the mage brother think of this trick just now? He had to ride up on a leopard."
Elizabeth was speechless: "If I go up... I shouldn't be able to stand down, right?"
Marika: "Just take off your panniers."
"How many times have I told you, don't use honorifics now."
"That won't work. You are an official envoy visiting Monrovia. I am your servant and bodyguard. I must use the honorific title." Marika said seriously, "Back to what happened just now, I helped you remove the bustle. , or simply change into a riding skirt and go up."
"But... this makes it seem like you are competing for favor! The most important thing is that Xiaobai probably doesn't have that idea at all, and neither does the king..."
Just as he was talking, a bird fell from the top and turned back into Xiaobai with a snap.
Elizabeth was shocked: "What will the king do if you come down? If he slips, no one can save him! We don't have a resurrection scroll now! If he dies, an angry mage will come with an army of demons to kill him."
Xiaobai: "He has prepared the Feather Falling Technique, don't worry."
Elizabeth: "Huh?"
Xiaobai: "It's the Feather Falling Technique! Where is my meat?"
Flint pointed to the ham on the wooden box next to him.
Xiaobai went over and picked up the ham and was about to eat it when he suddenly frowned and stopped.
Flint: "What's wrong? Too salty, right? Here's some water."
Xiaobai: "No. I suddenly wasn't hungry and didn't want to eat at all."
Everyone looked at her together.
Elizabeth: "You kept talking yesterday."
Marika corrected: "She hasn't stopped talking these days except when she is sleeping. When I see her, she is always chewing. I suspect this is the characteristic of druids, giving them the characteristics of bears." The stomach and the cow’s rumination habit.”
Xiaobai shouted: "It's that bean! This guy ate a bean for me and said that I wouldn't be hungry for a day after eating it. He also said that eating this would cause gastrointestinal atrophy! He made me sick!"
Flint laughed loudly: "What a coincidence, he also made Elizabeth sick! Heart disease! Wait, this is supposed to be a joke, right?"
Xiaobai threw down the ham, shouted "I'll go find him", changed into a bird and went up to the sky.
**
Five minutes later, in the cabin of the Star Chaser, Wang looked at Xiaobai rolling on the bed and gently touched his forehead: "I didn't expect that the first trouble after we started the journey was to solve the problem of Xiaobai not wanting to eat meat. ."
Elizabeth: "She just said that you will get sick if you eat that..."
"Yes, if you don't eat for ten years, you will get sick." Wang replied, "She will be able to eat meat normally tomorrow."
Xiaobai: "Can't eat meat for a day? Ugh, kill me!"
Wang: "Actually, it's because you feel itchy and want to eat meat, but you're not hungry, so your body refuses to eat."
Xiaobai replied pitifully: "Yes."
Wang: "The solution is very simple. Gotrick, just knock her out and let her sleep through the day!"
Gotrick began to snap his fingers together.
Xiaobai: "I don't want it!"
The dwarf stopped the barbarian who was about to take action: "No, what if we beat her to death? I don't remember how long ago, the mage in my team had hydrophobia. In order to allow him to cross the river with us, instead of messing up He cast spells to blow us up, so the people in the team decided to knock him out.
"In the end, Barbarian punched him to death."
Everyone envied the silence.
Even Xiaobai stopped yelling.
Wang spoke on behalf of everyone: "You are a priest."
Facing everyone's gaze, the dwarf stretched out his hand: "Why are you looking at me? At that time, I had just left my hometown and could only cast one ring of magic. What can I do? By the way, there is nothing I can do now, I mean one punch If you want to kill him directly, you have to ask me, who will be favored by Kailin and get the high-level magic, to come back in the future."
Wang was speechless: "Okay, I got it, there has to be an alternative. Let her hold the whole piece of meat. She doesn't want to swallow the meat now anyway, so at least she can taste the taste of the meat."
Elizabeth exclaimed: "No! I don't agree!"
Wang looked at her in astonishment: "What are you shouting for? What does this have to do with you?"
"Eh? I thought..."
Marika: "I think he meant regular meat."
Wang: "Of course it's ordinary meat, otherwise?"
Elizabeth: “Then I’ll ask the crew to prepare the meat.”
She turned around with a click and walked out of the cabin with her hands and feet.
Wang asked everyone in confusion: "What happened to her?"
The dwarves, drow, and werewolves all laughed.
The mage scratched his head in confusion.
At this time there was a knock on the door.
Wang: "Come in!"
The captain of the Star Chaser opened the door and came in: "I just saw Miss Langdon leaving with a red face. What happened?"
"No." Marika answered on behalf of Wang, "Just report your matter."
The captain nodded: "I'm here to report the itinerary. According to the current sailing speed, we will cross the dividing line between Langdon Territory and River Valley Territory at noon tomorrow. Valley Territory built a water gate on the river in order to collect taxes."
King: "Minato?"
"Yes, because there are no specialties in the Valley Territory, many merchant ships from Langdon Territory do not stop there at all.
"The cargo ships led by Langdon are all loaded with products from the other side of the World Mountains passing through Shield. The profits are very high. You can make a lot of money if you transport them to Monrovia. Every inch of the warehouse is valuable.
"No merchant ship can transport the short-distance goods from Langdon Territory to River Valley Territory, and the profit is too low. These goods can only be transported by merchants by horse-drawn carriage, and it takes several days to travel.
"The leaders of the river valley watched a large number of merchant ships passing by without stopping or paying taxes. In the end, they built a water gate in the narrowest part of the river valley to collect taxes."
The king touched his chin and murmured: "That's why Bruce wants to marry the Duchess of the River Valley. After these two duchies are controlled by the same family, no one will collect taxes from them, and the trade routes will probably be twice as prosperous."
"More than that," the captain said, "paying customs and paying taxes is one thing, but waiting in line for a long time is another. The administrative efficiency of the River Valley Territory... well, it's far worse than Langdon anyway. A town developed directly near Watergate. , specifically to provide entertainment to sailors waiting for ships to pass customs.”
Wang: "The River Valley Territory should be managed by people sent by Bruce, right? The Duchess is still trying to conceive a child in Langdon City."
The captain frowned: "You don't know?"
Wang: "What do you know?"
The captain handed over a letter: "I thought you must have known about the letter Duke Langdon ordered me to deliver in advance. There are rumors that the people sent by the Duke to the Valley Territory were under house arrest. I guess this letter should be entrusting you with it." Official document dealing with this matter.”
Wang looked at the sealing wax with the Langdon family crest printed on the envelope and was speechless.
The dwarf patted his thigh: "This cunning guy will catch us and use him to death!"
