Magus Tech

After that, Richard and Nancy followed Macbeth back to the port city of "Lisburn", boarded the giant ship and started a new voyage.

In a flash, it was the tenth day of the re-launch of the giant ship. According to rumors, it was already very close to the mainland.

The warmer the weather gets, the more hot and humid the cabin becomes.Out of the expectations of the mainland and the unbearable conditions of the cabin, basically at dawn, the deck was full of ordinary students who ran up to ventilate and blow.

This day is exactly the morning.

The deck was very lively, and ordinary students gathered together in twos and threes talking.Suddenly the door of the cabin on the deck opened with a "squeak", and the wizard Demps and the wizard Macbeth came out, followed by several wizard apprentices such as Potter, Demi, and Luther.

This time, it attracted the attention of many students and aroused the curiosity of many students, but no one dared to step forward and ask.It was just watching the two wizards walk with apprentices to the edge of the deck, looking in front of the great wheel.

The crowd followed them, and they saw that the sea ahead was still endless, and did not see anything appear.

that……

Everyone was puzzled and looked at it halfway, and finally someone saw what they found: "Look there!"

Everyone's eyes flashed and saw a small black spot on the sea, then the second small black spot, the third small black spot...

In a blink of an eye, nine small black dots appeared in a neat row.

Waiting a little closer, the people could tell that they were all nine very magnificent, azure warships, who came by wind and waves.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the people next to them, revealing a puzzled look.

Nine warships, what is this for?

Could it be that the wizarding country along the way came to collect taxes?It has been said that since Macbeth joined the wheel, there are two wizards sitting in town. It has been a long time since there was a new type of pirate-the sea tax collector dare to harass, is there a surprise this time?

It seems that the other party is well prepared-nine warships!

It stands to reason that even with nine warships, Temples and Macbeth on the giant ship can handle it. After all, Macbeth easily destroyed three warships by himself.

But the question is, in the event of a warship coming, is there a wizard who can match it?If this is the case, things will be a little difficult.

Everyone guessed wildly that nine warships had arrived nearby.Eight of the nine warships are divided into two parts, one left and one right arranged like wings, forming a semi-circle.The remaining of the nine warships, the largest one in the middle, approached the giant wheel straight, and the giant wheel seemed to be frightened and stopped directly on the spot.

Everyone was a little nervous, thinking that they would encounter twists and turns in the last few days of the voyage. Richard's eyes flashed in the corner of the deck. Looking at the expressions of the two wizards, they had different guesses.

At this time, the expressions of both Demps and Macbeth were calm, and they even smiled slightly, facing the sky-blue warships that were getting closer and closer, without being alert or hostile.

In that case...

"Wow, wow," the sea was undulating, the warship was getting closer and closer, and strange sounds floated on the deck of the warship.

"Tick Tick-Ula-Di Di!"

"Boom-buzz-snap!"

Everyone was surprised, but Richard quickly distinguished several instruments from his voice, and said to himself: "Harp, clarinet, trumpet, um... this should be a bagpipe..."

Closer, closer, everyone could clearly see the situation on the deck of the warship, and they saw a group of gorgeously dressed musicians holding various instruments in their hands and struggling to play.

Then a group of soldiers wearing snow-white uniforms came out, followed by a majestic officer in his forties, and next to the officer was a man in a black robe.

The warship continued to approach, and eventually stopped a few meters away from the giant ship. A springboard was put down and landed between the warship and the giant ship.

The music stopped, and the forty-something officers in their forties, wizards with black robes, and a soldier holding a wooden box walked to the deck of the great wheel.

The majestic officer glanced at Macbeth, then looked at Temples, and bowed slightly: "Sir Lord Temples at the White Rock Tower, hello to Zorro Duke of the Aegean Kingdom."

Temples said quietly: "Count Zorro is welcome."

"It should be." Zorro said this, but there was not much politeness. The next moment was straightforward. "I came this time, mainly about taxes."

"You said." Temples raised his hand and said out loud.

Zorro said: "In the last month, the ore and the various materials on the list have been fully prepared and sent to the mainland. It should have arrived at the Shiraishi Tower. But the crystal coins have only just been gathered in the past few days. Qi, haven't had time to send.

Considering the preciousness of crystal coins, it is easy to be targeted by people, and I am weak in the strength of the Aegean Kingdom. There are only a few wizards, and the escort will be very dangerous.Therefore, I was waiting for Lord Demps to arrive at sea, and sent the crystal coins to the White Rock Tower for me."

"Yes." Demps nodded in agreement.

"There is labor." Zorro bowed down and thanked me, moving meticulously, then waved his hand.

A soldier on the deck of the Great Wheel ran forward and handed a box to Temples.

After Demps took it, he didn't watch it, and he directly handed it to the next-level apprentice Potter.

Zorro raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Don't Lord Demps check it? The number list is in the box, don't make a mistake. Otherwise, our Aegean Kingdom will have no spare time to raise another tax this year. After all, tax collection at sea is not so easy to collect, especially a few sorcerer-organized ships must be handled carefully. We are still waiting for the Shiraishi Tower to honor the previous promise, in case there is a difference..."

Temples listened and shook his head: "No need to check, whether it's the Aegean Kingdom or Count Zorro, we can trust the White Rock Tower. As for the difficulty of tax collection, we also understand the White Rock Tower, so The extension will only be allowed. Regarding the promise, as long as the Aegean Kingdom does what it needs to do, our White Rock Tower will naturally fulfill all of it, without worrying about anything.

"Then..." Zorro hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Well, then, Lord Laudems, goodbye."

After speaking, Zorro did not hesitate, turned around, took the wizard and soldiers, and returned to the warship along the springboard, quickly leading the fleet away.

Temples and Macbeth did not say much, and quickly returned to the cabin with an apprentice.

The great ship set sail and continued to sail as if nothing had happened.

The people on the deck looked at each other incomprehensible, inexplicably: some fleets used to charge the transit cost of the giant ship, but now how come a stronger fleet has to pay the giant ship in turn?

In the corner, Gro, with doubt, looked at Richard and asked the question: "Your Excellency, what's going on?"

Richard's eyes flickered.

If he didn't follow Macbeth's mission, he might not understand it.However, after following Macbeth's mission, some of what he said during Macbeth's mission was linked, but he had some guesses about the current situation.

It seems that there is a difference between the wizarding nations on the sea: some are supported by the Baishi High Tower and are close to the Baishi High Tower; some are supported by other wizarding organizations and are hostile to the Baishi High Tower.

The wizarding country that is hostile to the White Rock Tower naturally finds ways to collect taxes on the giant ship of the White Rock Tower.If there are many wizards on the giant ship and the strength is relatively strong, for example, now, tax collection will be temporarily suspended.If the number of wizards on the giant wheel is scarce, especially if they are injured, for example, some time ago, they will naturally be taxed frequently.

This is like a revival nation on modern earth, sending warships to patrol the high seas near a small island country. Because of its strength, the island nation dare not squeak and pretend to be dumb and blind.But if it is not a warship, but a fishing boat that is fishing, then a small island country may be able to slap it-bullying the fishing boat, or even detaining the fishing boat.

The reason why the small island nations did this was not that they really dared to provoke the renaissance country. It was completely supported by a powerful country hostile to the renaissance country.

The Fuxing nation naturally understands this, and will not start a war against a small island country just because of the arrest of the fishing boat, so that it may be relieved but it will not solve the fundamental problem at all-the fundamental problem still needs to defeat the hostile power-otherwise it will destroy a small island Country, there is another small island country jumping out.

Richard thought about this and explained it briefly with what Gro could understand.

Gro heard a sudden realization and murmured: "Is this the case?"

Nancy on the side heard the same words from Richard, revealing a thoughtful look.Regarding this matter, because she had done tasks with Macbeth like Richard, she had some speculations of her own, but it was not as thorough and thorough as Richard.

Thinking of Richard's words, for a moment, Nancy looked at Richard and asked, "What is the place of the Shiraishi Tower? What is the continent on which the Shiraishi Tower is located? It looks very complicated. ."

"I don't know about this." Richard shrugged. "This question can only be answered until it really reaches the mainland and the White Rock Tower."

"But when can I get to the mainland and the White Rock Tower?" Nancy frowned.

"Maybe... it won't take long." Richard said, pointing to the distance.

Nancy and Gro looked down where Richard pointed, and they saw that under the bright sunlight, a black line appeared in the field of vision in the distance between the sea and the sky.
