Chapter 307: Arrival at Niujiao Bay

The two ships seized from the White Whale Pirate Group have now been refurbished, flying the flags of the Dennis Family and the Wushan Family respectively, and are sailing side by side on the sea.

This assassination at sea was a loss for the Dennis Family, as several sailors and accompanying Knight guards lost their lives, but for Luoning, it was a gain.

Not to mention the armor, leather armor, weapons, and bows and arrows on the captives, the value of that Level 4 Ice Spike Magic Cannon alone, combined with this thirty-meter-class sailing ship, is likely close to forty thousand gold coins.

In the ship's cabin, Luoning placed the Magic Cannon on the floor and examined it carefully.

Its caliber is about eighty centimeters, and its length reaches four levels. In terms of overall size, it is significantly smaller than the Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven Magic Cannon that Luoning handed over to Ruidar.

However, its appearance is very similar: a gun carriage, a barrel, and a base.

The gun carriage is forged from iron, but the barrel and base likely use more than just wrought iron.

If Luoning's guess is correct, there should be Mithril inside, especially in the base engraved with the Magic Array Diagram.

"This barrel is actually crafted without a single seam."

Logically, the connection points of a cylinder forged by a Blacksmith from wrought iron should have seams, but after Luoning's careful observation, he did not find any seams at all, as if this barrel were naturally a cylinder.

He couldn't help but wonder, have the Blacksmiths of this world already reached such a level of precision?

It is a pity that the manufacture of Magic Cannons involves secrets; even Wushan Castle does not have detailed descriptions of the materials, and Luoning cannot understand it in depth at all.

This is like precision machine tools being monopolized by others; you can only buy their products, but you cannot manufacture them yourself.

Perhaps taking the Magic Cannon apart could provide some clues, but for now, Luoning is reluctant to do so.

From this, it can be seen that the Earl of Screaming Island, who can manufacture Magic Cannons, is indeed no ordinary person.

"It seems I should find time to go to the Wushan Extraordinary Academy to consult Dean Milosilafu and see if I can obtain some useful information from him."

Luoning only knows this one high-level Magician, and he does not know if the other party would be willing to explain a thing or two for the sake of Lulansi.

He put the Magic Cannon back into his Space Ring and summoned his Attribute Panel.

Eleven days have passed since the last time he was promoted and added points, and Luoning has already accumulated 93 Attribute Points.

I must say, after becoming an Earl, the speed of accumulating Attribute Points is much faster than before.

Luoning invested all these Attribute Points into his Knight Rank, directly raising its progress to Golden Grade (1091/2500).

Feeling the loosening of the wheel of law deep in his Qi Sea, Luoning sensed that his Battle Qi had become more robust, and his entire state had been further improved.

"According to the total amount of Attribute Points obtained each month now, my Knight strength will be able to reach the peak of Golden Grade in just four months!"

Four months is actually a very short time.

However, if Luoning wants to raise his Magician level progress as well, it will take longer.

But Luoning is confident that there is absolutely no problem in crossing Level 6 and stepping into the ranks of true powerhouses within a year.

He glanced at the Energy Essence; it has now accumulated 1470 points. Consuming it could definitely bring a third Golden Knight to Wubei Territory, but Luoning needs to save it.

Once he breaks through Level 6 and enters the ranks of Meteor and Great Archmage, the first thing he will do is raise Aierlong's level to the Magus level to exchange for the possibility of healing Lulansi.

The best case is for Aierlong to awaken the Magic to counter the Soul Devouring Surge on his own, without having to pin his hopes on Dean Milosilafu to find it.

Once Lulansi can be healed and exert his strength normally, not only will Wushan Territory be stabilized again, but Wubei Territory, located in the rear, will also usher in a period of stable development.

The night passed without incident.

The morning sun rose, dyeing the sea surface red.

Although Luoning and his party experienced twists and turns and were delayed for some time, they still arrived in the waters of Niujiao Bay on the afternoon of the nineteenth.

It is indeed a seaport facing Jinyu City; the prosperity here is several grades higher than Dennis Port.

What meets the eye are ships coming and going, their sail shadows swaying in the sea breeze, making a rustling sound, playing a movement for the port of Niujiao Bay;

The closer he got to the pier, the more Luoning could hear the footsteps of the porters, the shouting, and the clashing of cargo.

From ships, piers, and porters to the towering towers and sturdy stone walls on both sides of the seaport, Luoning couldn't help but fantasize in his heart: "If I could also own such a port, how good that would be!"

At this time, on a high building far from the seaport, the official left by the Dennis Family at Horn Bay Port was waiting anxiously.

The leading Business Official, Joli, frowned tightly. According to the recent weather, Dennis No. 3 should have arrived at the port yesterday evening, and even if it were late, it should have arrived this morning.

But now, in two more hours, it will be dark, and they still haven't seen the shadow of Dennis No. 3. Joli is very worried that something might have happened to them at sea.

Dennis No. 3 carries not only Young Master Lisi but also the Earl of Wubei Territory. If something happened to them, it would cause a stir. He, the official left in Niujiao Bay, doesn't know if he will be implicated.

"My lord, look, that ship is flying the flag of the Dennis Family!" the assistant beside him shouted, pointing at the ship that was docking.

Joli immediately perked up and stood up to watch, but after seeing it clearly, he was immediately disappointed: "That is not Dennis No. 3."

"But it is flying the flag of the Dennis Family, and look, the ship next to it is flying the flag of the Wushan Family!"

A flag as big as a sail is indeed conspicuous, and Joli also noticed this situation.

"Damn Stephen, has he become so muddled now that he can't even write a letter clearly?"

While cursing the Administrator of Jianjiao City, Joli quickly put on his gentleman's hat and strode toward the pier: "Quick, come with me to welcome Young Master Lisi and Earl Luoning!"

Noble ships all dock at separate ports.

After Luoning, Lisi, and the others submitted their respective identity information and proof, the manager of Horn Bay Port and the Guards all expressed a warm welcome.

At the same time, upon hearing that there were pirates on the ship, they immediately summoned the Seaport Guard and took control of Kalawei and the others.

When Joli arrived with his men, he happened to see the Seaport Guard running toward the ship flying the Dennis Family flag. His heart skipped a beat, thinking that something serious had happened.

It was not until he saw Lisi and Luoning standing there safe and sound that his hanging heart was put down.

"Lord Earl, Young Master Lisi, I will immediately write to Sharp Horn Castle and Wushan Castle to inform the Viscount and the Marquis of your encounter at sea!"

Joli said solemnly: "Assassinating nobles is something that cannot be tolerated, even if they are troublesome pirates at sea!"

Lisi nodded, "Take us to the inn first. Also, arrange for someone to cooperate with the Guard Officer of Horn Bay Port to detain these pirates."

"Rest assured, Young Master."

Joli agreed with a smile, and then led Luoning toward the inn outside the port.

It must be said that Viscount Weituolinuo handled things quite well; travel, guards, reception, and the subsequent itinerary to reach Jinyu City were all arranged by dedicated personnel.

"Mr. Joli, I wonder how long it takes to get from Niujiao Bay to Jinyu City?"

"Lord Earl, don't worry about the time. These two places are very close. If we ride fast horses tomorrow morning, we will be able to reach Jinyu City by evening."

The Business Official of Jianjiao City runs business here year-round and is very clear about the journey.

"There have been many noble ships docked at Horn Bay Port recently; I reckon they are all here to celebrate for Her Highness Princess Blanche."

Luoning was somewhat surprised, "Isn't it said that Her Highness the Princess is unpopular?" (End of chapter)
