Chapter 812: Observation

Following a somewhat dull blast of a horn, the Huangbaijie seemed to have pressed a fast-forward button; countless staff members retreated like a receding tide, while those passengers arriving from all directions of the two worlds moved against the flow, boarding the ship one after another.

This small ship was divided into two levels and could accommodate three hundred people; at this moment, two hundred sixty or seventy were already seated, which could be considered crowded. It just so happened that the top level was reserved for powerhouses of the level of Sword Immortal and Sword Saint, spacious but with few people, while the lower level was not only packed with the remaining juniors but also contained functional cabins like the Cockpit and warehouses, making it even more unbearably cramped.

If it were a long-distance journey, I fear the Sword Immortals and Sword Saints would also have to be divided into two tiers, but since this was only a temporary trip, and only one Sword Saint and a dozen or so Sword Immortals from each side were boarding this time, they did not divide into so many levels.

Wei Zhangle naturally went to the lower level. If every Sword Immortal were allowed to bring one young person along, and Tang Zhao were not there, the Six Dragon Sword would certainly have brought him, but because the cabin was narrow and this trip was a quick departure and return, it had been stipulated early on that no one was allowed to bring attendants, and all Sword Heroes or those of lower rank were on the lower level. He naturally followed them to the lower level.

In fact, his original intention was also to go to the lower level; it was crowded and chaotic there, which made it convenient to act. This group of a dozen or so people were all from the Sun Domain, but they were not just from the Sun Court; they were young talents recommended by the major powers of the Sun Domain. Wei Zhangle was one of the most inconspicuous among them.

Originally, given his image and strength, plus the fact that he came from the Sun Court, he should never have been inconspicuous, but firstly, his plan was confidential, and secondly, he just had a way to make others not notice him; he did not even need to specifically use any Sword Art, just walking and chatting like that, and others would forget about the person beside them.

At this time, a Tianmo crew member as thin as a matchstick led the way for them, looking at everyone with a probing gaze as if sizing up a group of thieves, and said in the Human language: "You must follow me closely, and do not touch what you shouldn't touch. Everything on this ship is very precious, more precious than you people; if you break it, no one can afford to pay for it. Also, you must listen to our commands, do not look at what you shouldn't look at, and do not go where you shouldn't go. These prohibitions are all lessons written in blood. Whoever wanders around or touches things indiscriminately is increasing the danger for everyone, spying on the secrets of the world, and is a great traitor; we can throw you directly into the Void without reporting to the adults above, making you disappear forever."

Hearing the word "disappearance," the corners of Wei Zhangle's mouth twitched slightly. He followed him forward, starting in the middle of the team, gradually falling behind, and finally trailing at the end of the line, leaving a gap from the second-to-last person in the team, clearly showing a tendency to leave the group. But neither the Tianmo leading the way nor the crew members—mostly Tianmo—walking back and forth around them paid him any mind; it seemed the discipline management here was very loose to begin with.

Passing through a corridor, they entered a cabin. They saw two rows of seats in the cabin, and except for the side near the hull, the other three sides were all glass. Sitting in the seats was like sitting on a terrace, with an extremely wide field of view. The feeling of being completely surrounded by curved glass was very shocking for those seeing it for the first time.

A young female Sword Guest accompanying Wei Zhangle couldn't help but let out a "Wow," full of admiration.

Jiang Shenyi, like the others, did not notice Wei Zhangle and continued: "You feel it is unsafe, but that is just a psychological effect. If a person stands on a glass plate suspended high in the sky, because they can see beneath their feet, they inevitably tremble and feel terrified, but if you lay a carpet on the glass plate, it is as if nothing is the matter. This is instinct. If you feel it is scary, then how about this?"

And this landscape glass is also very familiar...

He vaguely remembered that as a young and outstanding Talisman Sword Master, Jiang Shenyi was among the first batch of technical personnel sent to build ships in the Human World. Although there had been no news for a long time, it seemed he had heard someone say that Jiang Shenyi had outstanding skills and was a righteous person, and he was very successful on the ship, almost becoming the chief of the younger generation of Human technicians.

Then someone said: "Rest assured, it is very safe here. This is not ordinary glass; it is a landscape material reinforced with Rune Formula and wind. In terms of strength and toughness, it is by no means inferior to the hull material of this ship." This was also in the Human language, and the voice was pure, completely different from the strange accent of the Tianmo.

Everyone couldn't help but reveal a friendly smile. Wei Zhangle was even more stunned; this was an acquaintance. This was Tang Zhao's Shixiong, Jiang Shenyi, who had also been a teammate at Wangliang Mountain and later came and went frequently after he was transferred to Jichun City.

Another younger Sword Guest asked with some worry: "Is this glass? Glass is quite brittle, right? Will it be unsafe if it encounters pressure in the Void?"

Wei Zhangle's gaze moved down, and sure enough, he saw the symbol representing "White Jade Shines Brightly" in the corner.

When the few turned their heads, they saw a young man leaning against the innermost part, wearing clothes similar to the Tianmo who led the way; clearly, he was also a crew member, but he was truly a very handsome Human youth.

Brother Zhao's business is getting bigger and bigger; he has even made it onto the ship. If this isn't a famous brand, what is? One day in the future, the Tianmo Jie will also have to be a market for White Jade Shines Brightly.

He waved his hand lightly, and without knowing which mechanism he triggered, the transparent wall changed into an ordinary stone wall in a flash, and one could even see the marble patterns. The entire bright and spacious cabin suddenly became dim, but it did indeed make people feel much safer.

At this time, the Tianmo crew member who had originally held his head high and looked proud of everything on the ship curled his lips in disdain.

"Open it quickly! This time we are here to observe; what do you mean by covering it up?" The Tianmo who led the way immediately raised his voice, as if he had been stepped on.

Jiang Shenyi smiled and waved his hand again, and the wall became transparent once more, saying: "Lilu, you should have some humanistic care. When you first saw the landscape wall, your performance was no better than others; why be so harsh now?"

He smiled and said to the others: "It doesn't matter, this is a time-tested technology. This time, the lower level is divided into sixteen passenger cabins, and each cabin has the same layout. The two cabins at the very front are completely traditional and enclosed; anyone who is worried can switch over. The cabins on the top level are three-hundred-sixty-degree fully transparent; the various Emperors and Highnesses also need a clearer perspective to observe. When we reach the end..." He paused, "There is also an entire level of transparent cabin on the Great Ship. Although you are afraid now, if you really get on the ship, you might fall in love with the landscape level; it has truly improved everyone's quality of life."

Wei Zhangle thought to himself: Brother Jiang has been with Brother Zhao for too long; his mouth is full of his words.

Jiang Shenyi walked past the seats and said to the newly boarded Sword Guests: "You don't need to worry. On this ship, there are them, and there are us; no one can cover the sky with one hand. Recognize my badge, the golden one; our crew members all have this color..." He pointed to the round badge on his chest, "If you have any issues, just call me." After saying this, he left the cabin.

After he left, most of the Human team breathed a sigh of relief, while the original Tianmo crew members' expressions turned unkind. Someone bared their teeth and said: "Just a petty trick, just an embellishment, and they dare to be so smug!"

At this moment, some crew members left the cabin, leaving only the newcomers and two particularly fierce-looking crew members. Then they heard a "Click" sound outside, and many people's faces changed immediately.

"What's going on? Is it locked outside?"

"Heh heh, that's right, so what?"

"Then wouldn't we be unable to get out?"

"Why do you want to go out?" A crew member sneered, "I said not to let you run around; where do you want to run? What you should do is watch here, observe that world; any gains you make are your luck. If you are stupid and don't understand anything, then wait; if the adults have any orders, they will notify you, and you will do it; naturally, someone will open the door for you then. But if you want to run out for a stroll from time to time, touching and looking at things, that won't do. Just stay put honestly."

Someone said: "What if we encounter an urgent matter? An emergency..."

The crew member said: "There will be a fixed time for you to resolve it..."

The Sword Guest said: "Not those personal situations, what if we encounter a crisis?"

The crew member said: "If this ship encounters a crisis, is it your turn to solve it? If you really encounter a major crisis, naturally the big figures will give orders and coordinate uniformly; at that time, run for your life if you should run, and fight if you should fight. But if you are told to run for your life and you fight instead, or if you are told to fight and you run away, that is not allowed; that is all courting death. You people must remember, the first thing you must learn when boarding the ship is to obey orders in everything. Those who do not know how to obey have no qualifications to be on the ship!"

Seeing that some people still looked unconvinced, he shook his head and said: "Do you really not understand? The ship is another world, a very cruel world. The previous rules are all abolished; there are only the rules of the ship."

He looked down at this group of rookies who knew nothing like a senior, and was ready to teach some troublemakers a lesson at any time, completely unaware that when the lock was engaged earlier, someone had already left a step ahead.

Wei Zhangle saw all the crew members walking out, so he followed them directly. He did not cover his tracks at all, nor did he lighten his footsteps while walking, but no one looked at him, letting him walk out the door before they engaged the lock.

At this time, he still did not use any Sword Art or Sword Technique. Ever since he became a Sword Hero, he was more in tune with the sword, and in his daily life, he did not need to use any Sword Technique for his own presence to be very faint.

To be honest, he didn't care much about competing with Tang Zhao for that opportunity now, because the result was already clear. Although Tang Zhao's strength was already this powerful, he had almost merged with the sword; he was a person born to use this sword. Anyone who could think calmly knew who should be chosen.

He came out now, firstly to carry out a patrol mission—groping for the secrets and technologies of the Tianmo in a place similar to a ship, and also observing whether they had any ambition to cause trouble on the ship; secondly, it was also an experiment.

If he walked directly into the hall of Immortals and Saints and no one could discover his existence, and then he took the initiative to appear, who could refuse him to carry out the mission?

I wonder where Brother Zhao has gone.

He thought that if Tang Zhao were on the ship and had something to do, he could help him silently. Maybe he could give him a surprise then.

It had always been Brother Zhao helping him at critical moments; if he could help Tang Zhao, wouldn't that be a happy thing?
