Da Fei first went to the dock to settle Hilda.
It might be psychological, but along the way, Da Fei indeed felt that there were slightly more people today in Elorin than usual, and the looks from the passersby were more hostile. Well, itās like the saying that before cockroaches come out in large numbers, a few will accidentally expose themselves. Let me see what your Royal Blood Sea is capable of. Fewer people donāt give me the thrill of battle, haha!
Da Fei arrived at the dock where the Flying and Radiant Wings were moored. At this moment, workers on the dock were busy loading supplies onto the ships.
A foreman supervising the site saw Da Fei arrive and hurried over, saying, "Mr. President, these are the goods dispatched by the Lord Mayor, a total of 100 units of honey, 100 units of dried fish, 100 units of fruit wine, 100 units of household ceramics, 100 units of furniture, 100 units of glass crafts, 100 units of agricultural tools, and 100 units of coarse cloth clothing for work. Additionally, to support Mr. Presidentās long-distance voyage, the Lord Mayor also donated 100 units of high-end wine and healing medicine, fatigue-relieving medicine, as well as 100 units of crossbow ammo."
It really is just like the mass-produced goods of a loss-making business; if delivered to my barren Lighthouse Island City, they could actually be used for quite some time.
Da Fei then laughed, "Thanks to the Lord Mayor for his kindness."
The foreman added, "The Lord Mayor, along with key figures of the cityās army, is at the shipyard attending an important ceremony. Please, Mr. President, attend promptly."
"Got it."
Da Fei then boasted to Hilda, "These are our two large ships, and there will soon be a third, even larger ship at the shipyard. The ship youāll work on is this luxurious Radiant Wings."
Hilda couldnāt help but exclaim, "Wow! This ship feels extraordinary!"
Do you know why Iām the talk of the town lately? Da Fei laughed heartily, "Itās not just extraordinary! Youāll know the depth of this shipās grandeur once youāre aboard."
At this moment, Anlicia called from the deck of the Radiant Wings, "Lord City Lord has brought in a new member, huh?"
Da Fei then introduced both sides, "This is Miss Hilda, and this is my deputy city lord, Miss Anlicia, who is also the captain of this Radiant Wings. I have important activities, so let Anlicia settle you down."
Anlicia jumped off the ship and reached out warmly, "Welcome, welcome!"
Hilda also stepped forward to shake hands, "Pleasure to meet you, looking forward to learning from you!"
And in the brief moment Anlicia and Hilda shook hands, Anlicia couldnāt help but gasp, "So much arcane energy!"
Alarmed, Hilda quickly withdrew her hand.
However, Da Fei was slightly taken aback. Was this so-called arcane energy the human transformation illusion of an angel? Could Anlicia, with her god-level magic, have the ability to see through her?
To avoid unnecessary awkwardness, Da Fei quickly explained, "Miss Hilda is quite an impressive figure at the church!"
Anlicia quickly laughed, "I apologize for my abruptness."
Hilda simply shook her head and chuckled, "No wonder youāre the deputy city lord; I didnāt expect two people in one day to inquire about my identity. Indeed, I have a lot of magic power, and if the city lord needs my assistance somewhere, Iād be more than happy to help, but it will cost extra!"
Anlicia was surprised, "Charge?"
Da Fei couldnāt help but feel a headache, "Miss Hilda is the bar lady I hired."
Hilda laughed, "If itās cooking, cleaning, singing, and dancing at the bar, I donāt have any issues. But for work outside the bar, I naturally charge a fee."
Thrilled, Da Fei said, "Miss Hilda can sing and dance?" Pole dancing too?
Hilda laughed, "Of course, Iām a full-time teacher at the orphanage, skilled in singing, dancing, fighting, and magic! These are all survival skills that boys and girls can rely on when they grow up."
Da Fei suddenly realized! Whether itās Elda from the European Union Zone or our domestic Hilda, they both have the attribute of an instructor. Yet from Hildaās all-around introduction, she seems more focused on cultivating artistic skills.
Anlicia blinked, "With such abundant arcane energy, Miss Hilda, can you set up a space teleportation array?"
Hilda laughed, "It depends on what kind of teleportation array it is."
Anlicia laughed, "I want one on Radiant Wings identical to the one on Flying! But my magic power is so low that itās a bit challenging."
Da Fei exclaimed, "You want to teleport the Radiant Wings?"
Anlicia shook her head and sighed, "I donāt have that kind of power, merely to connect the teleportation array on the Flying. This way, as long as Radiant Wings and Flying are not too far apart, I can directly use the teleportation array to visit the Flying."
Da Fei was suddenly shocked, "Thatās possible?"
Anlicia laughed, "Yes, itās quite creative, isnāt it? This way, if the captain needs to attend a meeting or come to the bar for a drink, he can just use the teleportation array. Thereās no need to have the ships dock together specifically. Isnāt that convenient?"
Da Fei happily said, "Thatās a great idea, can it be done?"
Hilda snapped her fingers, "No problem, I can help, friendship price 20 million Gold Coins, you can pay later!"
āāAh poof! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of old blood, are you kidding me! Do you have to open your mouth like a lion?
Anliciaās face turned green, "Miss Hilda, are you joking?"
Hilda said seriously, "Iām not joking! Normally, installing a Teleportation Array on a ship is a very high-end technology, because the ship is constantly rocking and moving, causing the space coordinates of the Teleportation Array to change all the time, which means an ordinary land Teleportation Array canāt teleport on a ship at all. It involves a high-end magical technology of correcting spatial floating errorsā"
Da Fei and Anlicia were dumbfounded! Oh my, Iām just playing a game, donāt explain pseudo-scientific magic to me, please? Isnāt this what the Mayor said about the space relative static technology when I wanted to install a Banshee Camp on the ship back then?
Hilda continued, "Although this error correction technology is high-end, because the space target of the teleportation destination, that is, the area above the sea surface, is actually stationary, the teleportation of the ship can still be achieved. Mr. City, have you noticed that when the ship teleports, it doesnāt directly teleport into the water, but above the water surface?"
Da Fei suddenly realized, "Thatās right! So every time I teleport, I feel weightless for a moment, and then the whole ship crashes onto the water surface."
Hilda nodded, "Thatās right. But, Miss Deputy City Lordās idea of connecting a teleportation array on another ship means that the target is also floating, so both teleportation arrays need to start the spatial floating error correction technology at the same time, and the difficulty is more than doubled. Itās like a Rider Shooter aiming at a moving target with the same speed, the success rate is unimaginable for ordinary archers!"
Da Fei and Anlicia were stunned on the spot, "Thereās so much to explain, huh?"
Hilda waved two fingers and sighed, "So, although Miss Deputy City Lordās idea is very creative, in general, this kind of teleportation concept is difficult to achieve, but on the bossās account, Iāll reluctantly take the trouble, 20 million is still a fair price, for an ordinary Mage, even if you gave him 200 million, he couldnāt do it, what canāt be done just canāt be done!"
What the hell! With 200 million, you could install two Banshee Camps on a ship! Canāt hire a top-tier Mage for 200 million? But why do I feel like Iām being duped by a salesman?
Da Fei said to Anlicia, "Want to keep playing? If you want, Iāll put it on credit first." Isnāt it just 20 million? I could earn that on a long-haul trip!
Anlicia smiled bitterly, "Never mind, itās not something we absolutely need."
Damn! Am I the kind of guy who canāt afford to keep a woman? If we let it go, it means neither played well, nor earned enough, and neither of the two women will be satisfied with me! Especially Hilda, maybe her trait is that of a greedy Angel, and this is her test for me, how can I not take the challenge?
Da Fei laughed heartily, "No problem, itās just 20 million Gold Coins, letās trouble Miss Hilda a bit!"
Hilda laughed, "No problem, please, Miss Deputy City Lord, take me to see your Teleportation Array."
Anlicia sighed longly, "Alright, this way, please, Miss Hilda."
Da Fei also shook his head and sighed inwardly, why did I foolishly invite a spendthrift Angel to join? What does she need so much money for?
In any case, once the newcomer transition is done, he went to the shipyard. And just as Da Fei was turning around, his friend notification rang, it was Blood Slaughter! Is that person on my friends list?
Blood Slaughter: "Youāre indeed a top player, canāt help but admire you after losing."
Da Fei then remembered the genius who sold him 4 Skeleton Soldiers for 400,000, this was the first time Da Fei had ever taken the initiative to add someone! But the tone and timing of his wordsā
Da Fei wondered, "Old friend, how have you been?"
Blood Slaughter: "Being remembered by Brother Fei is such an honor!"
At this moment, a green dot suddenly appeared on Da Feiās radar and flashed, and the location of this green dot was right by a cargo box on the pier beside him. Da Fei hurriedly walked forward, and sure enough, in the shadow of the corner of the box, he saw a faint black silhouette, it was Blood Slaughter!
Da Fei was stunned! My god, this guy has been lurking under my nose all along, and I didnāt notice? How powerful must his Stealth Skill be? Does that mean he heard my entire interaction with the NPCs just now? My god! This is so unnerving! Way too unnerving!
Blood Slaughter spoke in a muffled voice, "I admit that my way of handling things is quite like Brother Feiās, but I am far from having Brother Feiās capabilities, so while Brother Fei is getting better, I have fallen into the role of a thug. I totally deserve this repercussion."
Da Feiās eyebrow twitched, "A thug?"
Blood Slaughter said in a muffled voice, "Nothing, I heard that red names can drop equipment, so I came to try my luck. Then I saw Brother Fei appear and came over to see the difference, as expected, comparing with others can be infuriating, I have nothing more to say, goodbye!"
After speaking, Blood Slaughterās whole body rolled in black shadow and his figure blurred right in front of Da Fei!
Da Feiās eyelid twitched, this absolutely isnāt Stealth! This is the Mageās Plane Transfer, itās genuine invisibility!
Da Fei was moved and hurriedly said, "Wait! I also enjoy killing red names, if I remember, you have something here with me, Iām not playing anymore, Iāll return it to you!"
