Chapter 933 932 Kangamor Forest
Chapter 933 932. Kangamor Forest
In the northern area of the Mensa Strait, patrols of the Northern Army Fleet appeared more frequently, which forced the magic airships of the mine guards to hide above the clouds and not dare to float on the sea easily for fear of being discovered by these patrols.
Once discovered by the patrol, a battle would inevitably break out. If the patrol's brigs successfully escape, it might attract the Northern Army from the Frozen Island.
The mine guards were active in the Mensa Strait area, trying to find the imperial merchants who were selling half-elves under the nose of the Northern Army fleet.
If Roy hadn't wiped out all the gray dwarf bandits in the waters of Kui Island and the Misty Sea, it is estimated that these imperial merchants would not dare to intervene in the slave market in this sea area. That would be like snatching food from the gray dwarf bandits...
It was precisely the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of gray dwarf bandits in the waters of Kuei Island that gave the imperial merchants the opportunity to get involved in the slave market.
Unfortunately, the elves had no suspicion of the Imperials. The living environment in the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom was getting worse and worse. Various unequal systems against half-blood elves caused many half-blood elves to not want to stay in the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom. As a result, a large number of half-blood elves poured into some port cities, leading to this large-scale slave trade.
Such a large-scale slave trade operation can be said to be almost the sum of the number of elves sold by the gray dwarf bandits in the past twenty years.
In addition to Roy's mine guards, there were actually some organizations in the Elf World that formed rescue teams. For example, some adventure groups in the Adventurer's Guild got together and chased all the way from the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom to the Mensa Strait.
……
Above the clouds, the Black Pearl sailed east alone.
Roy originally planned to drive the magic airship into the heart of the Mensa Plain, and then travel by land from the Mensa Plain to the Lowenburg Fortress.
But with the addition of three sea creatures, Miss Zeena, Miss Tiffany and Miss Olive, he had to change the route and could only let the Black Pearl bypass the edge of the Kangamor Forest.
The Black Pearl has been renovated in the shipyard on Kui Island for nearly three months. Twelve flotation devices have been installed on both sides of the ship's hull, and a propulsion device has been installed on each side of the stern. The ship does not have a whaling crossbow installed, only a magic cannon installed on the bow.
The most distinctive feature of this magic airship is that it looks like a bonsai tree floating in the air, because there is a small green tree umbrella on the top of the main mast, which makes this magic airship look a bit out of place...
Woods stood behind the steering wheel in the captain's room, looking through the glass window at the sea of clouds in the distance, and said to Roy:
"I recently discovered that not only has the main mast of the Black Pearl grown a little taller, but even the main keel of the ship has grown..."
"Once the keel of this ship becomes longer, won't there be gaps between the wooden boards of the hull and water will leak out?" Roy asked Woods with some confusion.
In fact, he found no signs of leakage on the Black Pearl.
On the contrary, the ship is in very good condition after the renovation...
"This is also what I have been focusing on recently. The Black Pearl's planks have not revived, but they are still arranged very closely. I think this may be the ship adjusting itself. After it has life, it also has certain life instincts."
"You can think of it this way. Now the Black Pearl is not only a living plant, but it also thinks it is a ship, so it will adjust itself."
"Woods...you're not kidding, are you?"
Roy covered his forehead and cried out.
Woods smiled silly:
"Yes, I am telling you this very seriously. In the Wood Elf Kingdom, it is not uncommon for a plant to have self-awareness. Otherwise, how do you think those ancient war trees and ancient wisdom trees that have lived for thousands of years came from?"
"But the Black Pearl is a ship!"
His eyes were filled with pride. This was a plant-based life form that he had created with his own hands, and the first instinctive consciousness of this plant was to regard itself as a ship...
“You can think of it as a growing tree house, which doesn’t look bad, does it?”
"It's really great. Will it grow to the size of an imperial merchant ship in a few years?" Roy asked curiously.
“It shouldn’t grow that fast!”
Woods said casually.
Roy walked out of the captain's room impatiently. He crossed the deck and stood at the bow. He turned his head and looked up at the treetops on top of the main mast. The sunlight was a little dazzling, but not hot at all...
Moira is competing with Leia in close combat skills.
In this regard, as an academic graduate from the Elf Academy, Moira's fighting moves are obviously more concise and effective than Leah's.
But it was also Leah's control over the darkness that allowed her to instantly turn into a ball of smoke like fine sand at the most dangerous moment. Whenever she was in the most dangerous moment, she would instantly blend into the darkness.
Moira couldn't slip into the darkness as smoothly as Leah.
The two of them had been competing with their oak daggers on the bow for a while, and it was clear that they both had some experience...
Sabrina and Alice, the older sisters, were sitting on the side of the boat. Sabrina was comforting her white griffin, while Alice was basking in the sun comfortably.
Moira is half a head taller than Leia, and her figure is more muscular and rounder than Leia. When she arches her waist, she looks like a big cat. Her big eyes like black grapes are very smart. The fighting techniques of the academy have a very obvious suppression on Leia's wild style.
Leah was like a moth around a lantern, her body erratic, always trying to launch a sneak attack from the side and back of Moira's body. Roy did not disturb them. In Miss Tiffany's room on the first floor of the ship, through the glass window, he could see her and Olive soaking in the big bathtub together. The two of them were each holding a thick magic book and arguing about something.
In addition to the ancient Naga characters, the entire cover of the magic book in their hands was covered with seaweed patterns.
In fact, Roy only recently learned that although Miss Tiffany and Miss Olive are both magicians, the magic they use is very different. The former is a weaver and the latter is a sorcerer.
Roy couldn't figure out what the differences were between them, but they were always arguing over some magical concepts.
Jie Zena was lying in the cabin and sleeping.
She has grown very fast during this period and needs a long period of sedimentation.
As a second-level strongman, even when she is sleeping, her strength is slowly increasing.
Behind the Black Pearl's tower is the not very large stern section. The guide Sayil is sitting cross-legged barefoot on the floor. In front of him is a map of the Mensa Strait with a lot of lines drawn on it. These messy lines even exceed the lines on the map itself.
But he still chased some lines with a thick finger and looked carefully at the chart.
Seeing Roy turning from the side of the ship, Sayil quickly stood up and saluted Roy.
"Good afternoon, Boss Roy."
Sayil is usually dull and taciturn, but he is particularly kind to Roy.
Roy thought it might be because of their identities. He was a half-human and half-elf, while Sayil was a half-human and half-orc. This made Sayil feel more at ease in front of him.
"Sa'ir, how long will it take until we reach the coastline at the edge of the Kangamore Forest?"
"We'll be there by tomorrow morning..."
The Kangamore Forest is located on the border between the Mensa Plains and Durrag's Knee. The Black Gold Mountains to the north of the forest are the territory of the gray dwarves, while the Kangamore Forest is the territory of the tribal orcs.
The Gray Dwarves once planned to build a huge Dwarven Empire under the Black Gold Mountains. Later, for unknown reasons, all the Gray Dwarves evacuated the Black Gold Mountains and built a large number of castles in Durrag's Knee in the north of the Black Gold Mountains.
The dark army of the Abyss invaded Durlag's Knee and was unable to continue spreading southward to the Mensa Plains. This was actually closely related to the Black Gold Mountains.
According to Sayil, the orcs of the Aries Tribe are guarding the southern foot of the Black Gold Mountains. This is the largest tribe in the northern part of the Mensa Plains. Thousands of small communities are scattered along the Black Gold Mountains. They are the first line of defense for the Orc Tribe against the Dark Legion.
It is precisely for this reason that all Aries tribe orcs have the highest immunity in the Mensa Plains. Their warriors never walk out of the Kangamor Forest, let alone set foot on the Mensa Prairie.
After flying all night, the magic airship finally saw the endless land.
When the sea beneath my feet was still pitch black, the sky gradually began to brighten and the clouds beneath my feet became clearer.
At Sayil's reminder, Woods controlled the Black Pearl to slowly descend.
Under the cover of night, we passed through the clouds and moved towards the boundary between the mountains and the sea.
Roy woke up from a slight vibration of the ship. Moira curled up in his arms, sleeping soundly with her back to him.
Letting go of the tender winter bamboo shoots, Roy lifted the blanket, jumped off the narrow wooden bed, tiptoed to pick up the linen clothes, and stepped out of the cabin.
When Roy came to the deck, he found that a dozen half-elf crew members were constantly adjusting the angle of the sail under the command of Woods. He was ready to let the wind push the sailboat to the beach a few kilometers away.
However, this is not the wind layer. If the sails on the magic airship are slightly raised, the hull will tend to rotate. At this time, the propulsion device at the back must be turned on to stabilize the course...
Maneuvering a magic airship to dock has always been a technical job. It is easier to control in windless weather or when all the sails are lowered. The most difficult part is to continue moving forward with the thrust of the sails. The crew members have to stay in front of the capstans and cables at all times.
Roy came to the captain's room, looked at Woods with dark circles under his eyes, and asked:
"Reached?"
Woods said: "The western edge of the Kangamor Forest is just ahead. In a little while, we can park the boat on the beach before daybreak..."
In order to remain hidden, Roy thought it would be better for the Black Pearl to hide above the clouds, which would require Woods to stay on board.
"Or you can stay on the boat and wait for us to come back..."
"How can that be done?"
Woods immediately protested with his eyes widened.
