Chapter 889 - 841: Encountering Blood Slaughter Again
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, it’s 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 don’t 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. President’s 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 city’s 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 you’ll work on is this luxurious Radiant Wings."
Hilda couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow! This ship feels extraordinary!"
Do you know why I’m the talk of the town lately? Da Fei laughed heartily, "It’s not just extraordinary! You’ll know the depth of this ship’s grandeur once you’re 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 couldn’t 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 you’re the deputy city lord; I didn’t 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, I’d be more than happy to help, but it will cost extra!"
Anlicia was surprised, "Charge?"
Da Fei couldn’t help but feel a headache, "Miss Hilda is the bar lady I hired."
Hilda laughed, "If it’s cooking, cleaning, singing, and dancing at the bar, I don’t 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, I’m 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 it’s Elda from the European Union Zone or our domestic Hilda, they both have the attribute of an instructor. Yet from Hilda’s 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 it’s a bit challenging."
Da Fei exclaimed, "You want to teleport the Radiant Wings?"
Anlicia shook her head and sighed, "I don’t 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, "That’s possible?"
Anlicia laughed, "Yes, it’s quite creative, isn’t 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. There’s no need to have the ships dock together specifically. Isn’t that convenient?"
Da Fei happily said, "That’s 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!"
——Ah poof! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of old blood, are you kidding me! Do you have to open your mouth like a lion?
Anlicia’s face turned green, "Miss Hilda, are you joking?"
Hilda said seriously, "I’m 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 can’t teleport on a ship at all. It involves a high-end magical technology of correcting spatial floating errors—"
Da Fei and Anlicia were dumbfounded! Oh my, I’m just playing a game, don’t explain pseudo-scientific magic to me, please? Isn’t 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 doesn’t directly teleport into the water, but above the water surface?"
Da Fei suddenly realized, "That’s right! So every time I teleport, I feel weightless for a moment, and then the whole ship crashes onto the water surface."
Hilda nodded, "That’s right. But, Miss Deputy City Lord’s 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. It’s 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, "There’s so much to explain, huh?"
Hilda waved two fingers and sighed, "So, although Miss Deputy City Lord’s idea is very creative, in general, this kind of teleportation concept is difficult to achieve, but on the boss’s account, I’ll reluctantly take the trouble, 20 million is still a fair price, for an ordinary Mage, even if you gave him 200 million, he couldn’t do it, what can’t be done just can’t be done!"
What the hell! With 200 million, you could install two Banshee Camps on a ship! Can’t hire a top-tier Mage for 200 million? But why do I feel like I’m being duped by a salesman?
Da Fei said to Anlicia, "Want to keep playing? If you want, I’ll put it on credit first." Isn’t it just 20 million? I could earn that on a long-haul trip!
Anlicia smiled bitterly, "Never mind, it’s not something we absolutely need."
Damn! Am I the kind of guy who can’t 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, it’s just 20 million Gold Coins, let’s 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: "You’re indeed a top player, can’t 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 words—
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 Fei’s 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 didn’t 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 Fei’s, but I am far from having Brother Fei’s capabilities, so while Brother Fei is getting better, I have fallen into the role of a thug. I totally deserve this repercussion."
Da Fei’s 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 Slaughter’s whole body rolled in black shadow and his figure blurred right in front of Da Fei!
Da Fei’s eyelid twitched, this absolutely isn’t Stealth! This is the Mage’s Plane Transfer, it’s 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, I’m not playing anymore, I’ll return it to you!"
