Chapter 24 Landing
It was a white beach filled with the mist of morning light. Amid the waves of the first thrust, Lin Tianyu stood at the bow of the boat like a conqueror, shouting loudly, "I'm here-Rome!"
He used Chinese, so it was more like a wizard's spell in Apius and Uller, bringing a hint of mysterious and bizarre color to this cold Mediterranean morning.
When Ule was controlling the boat to sail along the coast, Lin Tianyu took some food from his backpack to supplement his breakfast. He could no longer stand the dry and hard bread like stone and the salty fish dried fish. Half of the three canvas bags he brought were packed with food. After considering the quantity and the time he traveled, he took out three sausages and three cream bagels as a supplement for breakfast. He was used to sharing and did not mind giving the two Romans some food. This unconscious action touched Ule and Apius very much.
Even Apius, who was used to tasting delicious food, was very impressed by the food that Lin Tianyu took out, not to mention the Ule, who had not eaten a few good meals. The only regret was that the quantity was a little smaller, but seeing that Lin Tianyu did not intend to continue to take out the food, Ule did not dare to make more requests.
When it was almost noon, the boat finally arrived near a port.
"We're about to arrive!" Apius said excitedly. For him, it was truly safe only when he arrived at the port. Although the experiences in the past two days were a bit bizarre and magical, it made people feel a little excited, but in the end, it was even more at ease after returning home.
There were many ships docked at the port's pier. Although there were no decent large ships among them, the number was already very considerable, and it seemed to have a sense of prosperity.
Lin Tianyu had already changed into a set of specially customized clothes that he made. It was a gray-black hooded robe that could just cover up his outfit that was different from the style of this era. The style of the robe design is also retro. Although it looks a little different from the outfit of this era, at least it will not make people feel too alternative.
Lin Tianyu and Apius boarded the pier, but Ule did not follow. He stood at the bow of the boat and looked at Lin Tianyu pitifully.
"So that's it? Sir, do you no longer need me?" Wule said this, but he had no intention of leaving. He looked at Lin Tianyu with a gaze, as if he was looking forward to something.
Only then did Lin Tianyu remember that there was an antidote.
"Haha, it's really troublesome."
While thinking, he took out a fruit candy wrapped in golden candy paper from his pocket and threw it to Ull.
"If you eat it, your poison will be cured."
Na Wule snatched it, as if he was afraid that Lin Tianyu would regret it. He took apart the candy paper in a few seconds and swallowed it in one bite. He didn't care about tasting the taste, and chewed it a few times before swallowing it.
"Okay, I think I'm going to say goodbye, man, I'm glad to meet you."
"I am an adult, and it is my honor to know you." Ule said respectfully, but he thought that he would be hyped when he went back now.
Lin Tianyu nodded at Ule, and then walked towards the shore with Apius.
Wule watched Lin Tianyu's figure disappear into the crowd at the dock, and felt a little incredible. He thought I had never thought that I would become the captain, and from now on this ship is mine!
He was so excited that he was about to dance. Just as he was looking at the ship of his own with excitement, a small thing suddenly appeared in his sight - it was the 'Athena's beacon'! That guy forgot to take it away!
Uller snatched up and held the compass in his arms. Only then did he have time to take a look at this magical little thing. The shell of the thing was black, made of a material he had never seen before (plastic). It had a shell like glass on it, and the magical pointer inside seemed to be driven by an invisible force, always pointing to the south.
Ule looked around until he was sure no one noticed him, and then he hid the compass in his arms like a thief. By the way, will the "demigod" come back to get this treasure? If he thought I stole his treasure, would he come back to kill me? When he thought of the magic weapon in that guy's hand, he shivered - no, I have to leave here quickly! Ule thought, and hurriedly pulled up the sail rope again. Although he was very tired after sailing all night, he still sailed out again without hesitation.
Lin Tianyu didn't know how excited someone was when he left behind a little thing inadvertently. He was not worried that Ule would return to the island again to find the entrance to the Space-Time Gate. First of all, he didn't think the other party would have such courage. What's more, without a space-time probe, it would be impossible to make the Space-Time Gate appear, let alone opening the Space-Time Gate.
He was wandering on the dock with Apius, hoping to hire a carriage so that he could easily go to Rome.
As the two walked side by side, Apius suddenly said, "There is no poison at all, am I right?"
Lin Tianyu was shocked. At this time, he couldn't help but look at the fat man in front of him. The fat guy didn't look cunning, but there was a look of cunning in his eyes.
"There is indeed no poison," Lin Tianyu said and smiled, still amused by Ull's overreaction, "Come on, my friend, introduce me to this port."
The Port of Habernas is one of the important sea outlets of the ancient Roman Empire. As a large port closest to the city of Rome, there are not only tax officials, but also a Roman 100-man team stationed here.
When the two walked up the stone steps on the hillside of the pier, they happened to see a group of Roman soldiers passing by.
Lin Tianyu looked at these soldiers wearing exquisite leather armor, holding shields and spears with interest. As ancient soldiers, they showed good discipline and neither harassed the merchants nor carried out any acts of disturbing the people. Their inspection seemed to be just to declare Rome's dominance over the port.
"They are all children of wealthy families," said Apius. "Only citizens can become regular soldiers of the Roman legion. They need to bring their own weapons and armor. Those who can possess such a set of equipment will not be poor, so they will not take advantage of the merchants."
Of course there is another sentence he didn't say. When plundering enemy countries in the war, these soldiers were all very good at it.
Just as the two were thinking about how to get a ox cart or any animal that could be used for transportation, a team of Roman soldiers walked straight towards them under the leadership of a stern captain. Lin Tianyu suddenly became a little nervous. He touched the two Colt revolvers on his waist, ready to deal with the next cross-examination.
