early morning.

Aiwen was alone in a high-end restaurant in the city of Nice, enjoying a hearty special breakfast.

A plate of toast with tomatoes, two fried sausages, a piece of pear cheese cake, beef and cheese scones decorated with olives, and a cup of milk coffee called macchiato by the locals.

From time to time, I looked up to admire the scenery and tourists outside the window, while my other hand was still playing with the family-hered "golden compass" unconsciously.

Although it was directly trapped in the previous dangerous situation, this "golden compass", which claimed to be able to guide the most viable way for a ship in any dangerous situation, did not exert the slightest effect.

But it does not prevent Aiwen from hoping to further explore the secret ideas behind it in his spare time, and from time to time he will take it out to observe in various scenes.

Of course, nothing has been achieved so far.

After returning home this time, "Storm Horn" reported the experience of encountering "Black Dyke" and a large group of alien lizards on the sea.

Although the possibility of successive encounters of such supernatural disasters is extremely small, in this critical period of dealing with the possible attacks of the "octopus ghosts", Major General Coverdale Dulu, the commander of the garrison, cannot turn a blind eye.

Temporarily mobilized four Tier 5 and Tier 6 warships from nearby naval bases to join the cruise mission.

As a result, the battleships currently performing missions in Nisk Watertown have formed a fleet structure with two four-tier battleships, namely Ivan’s "Cape Storm" and Solomon's "Royal Guard", and 12 cruise ships as auxiliary.

This scale of defense is already extremely luxurious for offshore defense!

After all, even if it is the third largest naval port of Falitis, "Gabride", with the addition of warships returned to the port for repair, the highest-level defense configuration is nothing more than that.

Originally, the sea has not been the focus of the high-level defense plan. With the increase of ships, the cruise missions of Aiwen and the "Cape Storm" have also become much easier.

At the same time, they have more time to do their own things.

For example: The contract between the "Wild Talisman" and the little lizard "Kaka" has been completely completed.

It's just that Bass, who has always regarded himself as the number one pet under Irving, found that a job grabber suddenly came, and he was a little unhappy.

Thinking of "Ka Ka", Ivan cut half a fried sausage from the plate and placed it in the shadow under his feet. A black mouth suddenly popped out and swallowed the sausage, the shadow squirmed slightly, and after a while it returned to normal.

After the contract, in order to cultivate intimacy, Ivan directly raised "KaKa" in his own shadow. [Shadow] This skill is related to breathing and eating for "KaKa" who is a "shadow lizard". Just as simple.

The moment he raised his waist again, Aiwen's eyes suddenly lit up.

Looking outside through the glass of the restaurant, a beautiful girl in a warm yellow dress with a picture clip on her back walked gracefully in front of her.

Can't help but blurt out a beautiful name:

"Miss Vinia!"

"Huh? Yeah! It turned out to be Mr. Irving!"

A look of surprise flashed across the face of the beautiful girl wearing a gauze cap, and she met the young man in a white shirt through the window, her pink lips curled up and her eyes filled with a smile:

"What a coincidence! I just happened to be thinking about going out to sketch today, will I meet Mr. Irving again."

Aiwen was deeply impressed by the girl, and also smiled and said:

"Hahaha, I was also surprised. Did Miss Vinia eat too early? If you don't mind, please come in and sit together."

The other guests in the restaurant were about to frown when they heard the undisguised conversation between the two because of an unexpected surprise.

I saw the beautiful girl who had opened the door and entered, like an elf, and the handsome young man who had stood up and greeted the beautiful woman in a seat very gentlemanly.

The two young men and women with superb appearance and temperament even could be called otherworldly, so that the grievances that arose in their hearts immediately disappeared.

Ugh! This society in power... is so realistic!

"Waiter!"

Aiwen tenderly called the waiter and served Vinia an early meal.

Strawberry cake, caramel pudding and a cup of hot milk.

"Thank you!"

The girl thanked Irwin very gracefully, and took a sip of warm milk gracefully.

"You are welcome, please use."

The two were eating and chatting. Last time, Aiwen was very curious about the background and experience of this seemingly well-born girl. At this time, he could no longer restrain the turbulent thirst for knowledge:

"Ms. Vinia, last time you said that you had traveled to many places in the mainland, can you tell me about any special experiences? And last time you said you wanted to tell me where your hometown is."

The girl forked a piece of strawberry cake and put it in her mouth with a smile on the corner of her lips. It was obvious that the sweet and soft taste of the pastry made her very satisfied.

Well, beautiful people are so pleasing to even eat.

"Well, how should I say, my hometown is a place where even such exquisite food is rare.

I traveled continuously on the mainland for two purposes.

The first is that I hope to learn the best knowledge of each country and bring it back to my hometown. I want to help the hard-working and intelligent people there. "

Hearing this, Aiwen praised from the heart:

"Miss Vinia, you are such a great person. As a pioneer in spreading civilization, the people in your hometown will thank you for everything you have done for them.

And I have a suggestion. After all, one person's energy is limited. Your country can send a group of students to study in academies in various countries every year. I think if the price is right, countries will not mind the outflow of basic knowledge. "

The girl hid her mouth and chuckled:

"Hehe, this is just what I should do, and I will consider your suggestions.

As for another purpose of my travels to the mainland.

It is to find the most fundamental reason why the civilized country is strong enough to be able to fully colonize the known exploration territory of the Southern Continent, the most eastern Peacock Islands, and the New World. "

With that said, Vinya stared at Aiwen with beautiful eyes, solemnly carrying a trace of hidden high above, with some appreciation:

"Mr. Irvine, I want to thank you, I think what you said last time is exactly the answer I have been looking for.

Even your words have long been recorded in the history of the Old World.

The ancestors of the blond race in the Old World, the Nemansters, were nothing more than savages living in the bitter cold regions long ago.

Only when they used brute force to defeat the "civilized" people of the Holy Lothar Empire of that era, they became the masters of this era, and they have slowly developed and grown to this day. "

"Ah, this, you already thanked you last time.

Everyone’s understanding is different. What I say is my opinion, which is not necessarily correct.

It would be great to be helpful to you. "

Ai Wen took a sip of his Macchiato, and didn't think he deserved the girl's repeated thanks. She was a little surprised by the rise of the Nemanster race in her mouth. This kind of history is something she has never had the opportunity to understand as a wizard.

I became more curious about the origin of the girl.

"As a thank you gift, I will tell you an unforgettable and significant experience I had and... where is my hometown."

As the girl spoke, she glanced at the "golden compass" that Ivan casually placed on the dining table, and continued:

"It might be...very useful for you!"

He keenly noticed the girl's gaze, Aiwen's wink instantly, and his voice was raised unconsciously:

"Do you know this compass?!"

This glance has already linked all the doubts in Aiwen's heart before, and Wei Wei is somewhat wary:

"Yes, you also said that you came from the other side of the sea, and the mysterious man who had dealt with the Galliot family also claimed to be from the other side of the sea.

Is it the Southern Continent or the New Continent, but...

The "Golden Kingdom", the residence of the gods that no one has ever reached in the legend? ! "

Faced with a series of questions from Aiwen, the girl did not rush to answer him.

Just a light glance at him, the pressure in it made Aiwen, who almost jumped up, stiffened. Realizing that this Vinia was not easy, she didn't dare to act rashly.

As if not noticing his sudden change of face, he slowly continued to taste the caramel pudding in front of him, before speaking again:

"Mr. Irvine, you guessed right.

My hometown is the legendary "Golden Country" where gold is everywhere. However, it is not that no one has ever arrived. Do you want to know where it is? "

"This...."

Aiwen was speechless for a while, he only knew the other side of the sea, but there was too much of the other side for the Old World.

Not to mention a wizard apprentice in his neighborhood, even the most knowledgeable scholar in the world can know the name "Golden Kingdom" from the legend, and its most famous and controversial legend-gold everywhere!

If you find the "Golden Kingdom", you can easily buy gold from several kingdoms.

Regarding that magical country, there are many other magical legends, it is not clear what the source is, or whether it is just fabricated by the communicator.

However, even if the great nautical era has begun for two hundred years, no scholar or adventurer has ever claimed to have ever been there! Everything about it is a mystery to humans!

"Let’s talk about that experience that was so significant to me.

In fact, at the beginning of the great voyage of the Old World, the legend of our "Golden Kingdom" was circulating in the group of adventurers.

But as I said, it's not that no one has been there.

In fact, as early as five years ago, the first human adventurer of the Old World ascended to the territory of the "Golden Kingdom"!

And I happened to receive him~lightnovelpub.net~ and really started to tell him, Vinia no longer shook Aiwen's appetite, and she told the story of the "Golden Country" without him asking:

"At that time, in fact, we hadn't walked out of the'Golden Country' for nearly a hundred years.

Their arrival made us finally realize that the pace of human exploration is faster than we thought, but in about 200 years, we have overcome all the treacherous and horror in the sea and walked to our side.

Even if they are just as pioneers, special cases in humans...

The adventurer and his wife told us a lot about the changes in the outside world, the territory of human exploration, the latest technological inventions, the vast territory that has been colonized, the major events that have occurred in the past 100 years...

Let us finally realize that the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

That's why I have a journey of travel. "
