The fifth year of Silver Moon, late January.

In the southeast of the continent, the vast sky and the ocean.

Afar, an airship slowly sailed. The huge white hull, the gray-brown cabin, and four goblin engines kept ringing behind, and there was a faint black smoke all the way.

Clouds slowly floated over from above.

...

The entire airship consists of three parts, with a huge airbag on the top, which is the largest structure of the entire airship, providing air buoyancy. If the airbag is broken, the airship will "sink". Therefore, from a certain perspective, the airship is actually very fragile and is not suitable for war. Even if the caster who can perform shield magic in the airship like the Battle of Yadsey River is arranged in the airship, because the airship is huge, casting shield magic on such objects usually means that the magic will be lost particularly quickly.

At the rear of the airship is a small power chamber, generally controlled by goblins, and the function is to burn coal and power the engines in the rear. Although there are four engines, the speed is not fast.

Of course, it is definitely much faster than ships and land. But normally, if there is no more powerful mage on the ship, no one will cross the sea with an airship, and even goblins will not be able to.

If you encounter a storm on land, you can dock. Where do you want to stop at sea? Moreover, the scale and intensity of the storm on sea are not comparable to that on land.

The last part is the cabin located below. It is the place where people and cargo are really carried. Although the airship looks very large, the size of the cabin is actually equivalent to a few ordinary-sized rooms being pieced together.

For example, the living room in front of this ship already occupies two-thirds of the space in the cabin. In fact, it can't put anything down, that is, a ring sofa in the middle. The others are just a few cabinets containing drinks and miscellaneous items.

In the cabin, Jones stood quietly in a silver moon armor, looking out through the porthole.

In addition to Dora, who followed Jones wherever he went, there were also Lich William, who was responsible for protecting Jones, and Belle.

Why did Belle follow him, but Adale didn't follow him?

It's very simple, because Jones negotiated with the Blood Elf because of the relationship between the Belle family. Her father, Earl Rizzo, has been operating the trade with the Blood Elf for many years and has occupied a considerable share. Although the trade between the Blood Elf and the Blood Elf is not a large-scale trade for both the Blood Elf and the Blood Elf, if you want to trade with the extremely exclusive blood Elf, you must have a certain friendship within the Blood Elf.

If you want to make up for this temporarily, no one can make up for it. It is not a question of strength, the key is trust. If you don’t have trust, how can you talk about cooperation?

When Belle came, he naturally brought Belle's minions with him. After all, they were familiar with the way of dealing with the blood elves. On the contrary, Jones only brought Dora and William. However, it was impossible to see from outsiders' perspective, because everyone except William was a blood clan, and in broad daylight, they could only wear Silver Moon Armor one by one. In this way, it looked like Jones brought a Silver Moon Knights here.

The specific description is... two little knights, with a lich, a female knight, and a large group of Silver Moon Knights. This is probably the lineup.

Turning back, Jones asked softly, "Are we going directly to the port?"

"Yes." Belle replied: "We first go to the port and get off the airship. They will wait for us there and then go to their holy land."

"Why not just use airships to their holy land?"

"Well... that's impossible. The elves will not allow anyone to use airships in their holy lands, including themselves. Landing in the port is our only route. There may be a lot of processes along the way."

"Process?" Jones was puzzled: "What exactly does it mean?"

"I don't know what to say, you'll know when you arrive. It's some cumbersome procedures."

"All right."

The Elf Forest is actually not a forest. To be precise, it is the name of a place composed of a large island and a peninsula. It is connected to the Silver Wing Peninsula on the mainland, and the island Luo Gexian, which is across the sea from the Silver Wing Peninsula.

Those who live on the Silver Wing Peninsula are wood elves and flower elves. Those who live on Logosiani are the negotiators of Jones's trip, the Blood Elf.

It was an extremely xenophobic race and was very difficult to deal with. If possible, Jones hoped that his negotiating target was a wood elves. However, the mineral vein would not follow your intentions. The only one known is Logosiani, and Jones had no choice.

...

After a long voyage, the sky finally gradually darkened.

The sunset in the sky is particularly beautiful, and the waves on the sea are shining with golden points.

"It's almost here." Belle stood up from the sofa and looked out the window and said, "I asked them to arrange their arrival time to the evening, so that when we get off the airship, it's just night. The blood elves are very xenophobic and are very alert to outsiders, so it's best not to wear armor when we appear, and give them a friendly feeling as much as possible. That will be beneficial to our negotiations."

As he said that, Belle looked at William not far away.

William, who was fiddling with the chess piece on the middle chessboard, was stunned by the sight, and the soul fire in his eyes turned into a question mark.

Jones nodded understandingly and said to William: "Our purpose of this trip is to cooperate with the Blood Elves. We need their ore and they need to increase their production. According to what we know, this will not be a task that can be completed easily. The Blood Elves are not a commercial race like the Blood Clan, and they have no desire for gold coins. Therefore, the price actually cannot affect their decision. We have to go through some other ways."

"For example?"

“For example, friendship.”

"Then what?"

Jones sighed helplessly and could only continue, "I mean, Uncle William can't speak like he did when he went to the High Court before. The Blood Elves are a very conservative race. Maybe you're just kidding, but they might take it seriously."

"But I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding," William defended.

"That's worse..." Belle helped to hold her forehead.

"Okay, then I won't say anything, I won't say anything." William shrugged and said in a very unhappy tone: "If there is any problem, I will ask you privately. Unless you have your permission, I will not say a word. Is this OK?"

Jones apologized for forcing a lich like this: "No need..."

"No! I think this is very good!" Before Jones finished speaking, Belle quickly slapped the table and interrupted loudly: "After all, our mission is only successful and not failure. Once it fails, we will not be able to obtain enough ore for the time being. Without ore, we cannot produce weapons that can bless ordinary humans. Money is nothing, the key is... they are fighting those unjust forces! We cannot let them down!"

All of a sudden, all the eyes in the cabin were attracted, and they were obviously scared by Belle's sudden loud voice.

Well... well, except for William, the airship, everyone wearing a helmet, and even William, who doesn't wear a helmet, doesn't have any expressions. So as the author, I really don't know how to describe the expressions of everyone. I can only say that the atmosphere is a bit awkward. Or, very awkward.

After a moment, William slowly clenched his fists and said seriously: "Yes, there is no way to misfortune in our mission this time! What is the point of suffering a little grievance for justice?"

Oh, William's voice suddenly became loud.

"Yes, that's it, for justice!"

"For justice! We can definitely bring the ore back, and we can definitely reverse the situation on the entire continent! The future belongs to the upright and kind people!"

"Yes, that's it!"

"The two sides of justice"...I mean Belle and William shook hands intimately.

Jones and Dora next to them were stunned.

After that, Belle quietly lifted her helmet, stuck out her tongue at Jones, and smiled.

Well, if you want the Lichs to be honest, you really need some middle-aged words. On this issue, Belle groped very quickly.

...

The sky finally became completely dark, the stars in the sky were flashing, with a dreamy beauty.

Under the moonlight, Jones' destination for this trip, Logosini, finally appeared on the horizon. It was a long coastline, and there were only a few lights on the coastline directly in front.

In fact, the area of ​​Logoshin is larger than that of the entire Kingdom of Isaac.

The blood tribes in the airship also silently took off their armor and changed into daily casual clothes.

Jones is in brown, with Hydra flower badges embroidered on the collar, cuffs and shawls.

Dora is a convenient short skirt that is consistent with Jones' style, but is just a different style for men and women.

Belle is a black long dress with her Amethyst House emblem. Since she has officially become a resident of Giant Snake City, her clothes also have a nine-petal snake flower badge on her chest.

William didn't need to change it. He was still wearing a white robe with the Nine-Pet Snake Flower Badge and the Cross-Bone Badge. As for those followers, they were all black dresses with the Nine-Pet Snake Flower Badge and the Amethyst Badge.

Soon, as the airship advanced little by little, Jones finally saw the lights clearly.

It was a port, which didn't look big. There were only about dozens of ships parked on the pier. Some of them were fishing boats. As for the small town next to the pier, it looked just a small town.

Speaking of which, the scale of Xianyu Port is probably much larger than this, and even the Xianyu Port before Gray entered the early days was larger than this.

Jones couldn't help but wonder: "Is this the largest port in Logoshini?"

"Yes. Luo Gexian has only four ports in total." Belle, who was standing beside him, replied softly: "The other three ports are military ports. The only one that can be used for trade is this port, and our trade is generally carried out here. The blood elves have very little foreign trade. If we want to trade ore, we don't need a particularly large port, right? A ship can hold millions of raw stones."

"I was just surprised that the largest port of the Elf Clan is only so big, and their population is not small."

"It seems that there are hundreds of thousands of people, not a small number, but not a large number. Of course, the most important thing is that they do not have much interest in trade."

The goblins in the power chamber chirped and kept chirping, and the four propellers began to slow down in reverse.

The airship slowly lowered its height and leaned towards a towering wooden frame located in the dock. It was the only place here that could be used to dock airships. In fact, no one has used it for several years. The elves do not use airships, and the airships cross the sea, which is risky. So this is normal.

The workers on the wooden rack shouted far away to the goblins on the airship. The goblins responded and threw down several ropes. Then the workers tied the rope to the gears and began to pull them hard with the gears to help the airship dock.

"All of them are humans?" Seeing the faces of the workers, Jones couldn't help but be stunned: "I think the blood elves hate humans very much, and there are still humans living here?"

"This is the only place where humans live in the entire Logosian. Normally, the humans here are not allowed to enter the inland Logosian. They make a living by fishing and acting as intermediaries for the foreign trade of the blood elves. I think the blood elves probably prove that they are not blinded by hatred as the wood elves said, so they leave these humans behind. Actually, I don't know. These humans have lived here for generations and have lived for more than four thousand years. But to be honest, they have no friendship with the blood elves. In trade, they are just porters. If they really want to trade, they must find the blood elves."

The pier was quickly built.

The hatch opened and Jones led everyone down the pier.

Before he could get off the wooden frame, Jones had already seen two elves wearing black leather armor saluting him from afar.

He nodded politely and gave a greeting.

They were two blood elves of a man and a woman, both with long black hair and pointed ears like Andrew. They were all wearing short swords, long bows, and arrow baskets.

The man is tall, slender limbs, handsome face, and his eyebrows are long, like sharp swords.

The woman is also tall, slender, and has a cold and delicate face. Her eyes are faint and confused.

Behind them were a few white unicorns with manes hanging to their knees and equipped with saddles. They looked extremely gorgeous.

Under the night, torches lit around him shine, and the picture looks like a memory.

Along the way, Jones came to the two of them.

The female elves saluted Jones again and said respectfully: "Dear Lord of the Giant Snake City, Lord Hydra Knight, Liberator of the Elf Slave, Logosini welcomes you. I am the guide arranged by Lord Cornelia, and my name is Daliana."

"I am deputy Jais." The male blood elf said softly: "Welcome to you."

As they said that, they nodded to everyone behind Jones again.

Everyone returned the gift silently.

"It's very honored to be allowed to come to Logosini." Jones replied with a smile.
