Chapter 74 Ship Market

  The huge ship slowly docked at the east port of the city.

   Thanks to the fact that the pier is deep enough into the ocean, otherwise, if you want to board these giant ships, you may have to take another small boat.

   Whoosh!

  While Colin was silently observing the huge ship beside the pier not far away, a burst of flame suddenly shot from the top of the mountain behind him!

   Just a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the giant ship.

  The flames dissipated, revealing the back of a gray-robed wizard, who was floating in front of the figurehead of the main ship in the middle of the fleet.

   It is the Rapp wizard!

  Two figures who seemed to be official wizards flew out from the main ship, and they welcomed Wizard Rapp onto the giant ship together.

   Immediately afterwards, a voice suddenly came from the main ship's tossing girl-style figurehead:

   "Ahem, wizard friends from Blackstone Island, we are the Black Pearl Caravan!"

   "The ships of the caravan will stay at the port of the island for seven days. During this time, everyone is welcome to come to the ship market to buy!"

   "Knowledge, materials, slaves...you can buy everything you want here!"

  As the sound sounded, the figures on the iron-clad ships swayed, and soon, huge chain ladders were erected between the ships to fix and connect with each other.

   "Thanks to Mr. Rapp...Sixty years ago, these caravans didn't look like this." Luke said with some emotion. Although he has never experienced it, but only heard it, he still sighs a little.

  Sixty years ago, before the Rapp wizards came to this island. The official wizard of the original Blackstone family on the island has died.

  At that time, these caravans were not so polite.

  Transactions only happen between two peers.

   These caravans are also called pirates in some places!

  Colin remained silent. In the final analysis, they, the weak, can live a stable life like this now, all thanks to the protection and order established by the Rapp wizard on the island.

   Ka Ka Ka.

  At this time, the giant ship closest to the dock in the distance heard the sound of mechanical gears colliding, and in the next second, a slanted gray-black steel ladder was raised from its side, and it was precisely placed on the dock.

  The overall steel staircase is about five or six meters wide, with handrails installed on both sides, just like the boarding stairs of the plane in the previous life.

   There is no doubt that this is the entrance to the boat market.

  Colin stepped forward, ready to go to the boat market. But the corner of the clothes was held by Lu.

   "Wait for the adults to leave first." Luke reminded in a subtle way, and with his eyes, he signaled Colin to pay attention to the senior wizard apprentices like Regina next to him.

  Colin paused a little.

   Waited until Regina and the senior wizard apprentices passed in front of them, and then continued to move forward with the others.

  Walking up the steel ladder, it looks shaky and fragile, but it is extremely stable when walking... It should be reinforced with witchcraft.

   It also makes a dull and thick low sound when the foot steps on it.

  The ladder is not short, those senior wizard apprentices have already flown up directly, and now only they, the intermediate wizard apprentices, a small number of junior wizard apprentices who were brought to meet the world, and Regina, who has just advanced, are still climbing.

   Not long after, Colin finally walked up the stairs and onto the deck.

   What you see is a gray-black plane, without masts or sails, and there are only three huge chimneys that stand up like thorns, and a few faint white-gray smoke are slowly emerging from them.

  At the bridge in the middle of the ship, many crew members dressed as sailors are moving things to the deck one after another, and it seems that they are preparing to set up stalls.

   "The stalls outside here don't have any good things," Luke passed Colin and turned back. He was familiar with the road and led everyone to the bridge not far away, while introducing:

   "The Black Pearl caravan has a total of fifteen ships. When they docked at Blackstone Island, the main ship and the four auxiliary ships were mainly open to us."

   "During this week, the decks of the five ships will be filled with stalls. There are usually no good things, but you can also go shopping."

   "The real ship market of the caravan is actually hidden on the first floor below the deck. It is like the wizard alley on the island, with various shops."

  Colin nodded, this information was obviously specially given by Luke to him, a first-time visitor.

   I have to say that although Luke is sleek and sophisticated, he has a good sense of proportion and will not be annoying.

  Following Luke down the narrow stairs, he walked down the deck. Before he had fully reached the lower floor, the noisy voice hit his ears first.

   After walking a few more steps, a gray corridor that can be regarded as wide on a ship appeared in front of him.

  The corridor can accommodate four people in parallel. On both sides are similar cabins. The doors of these cabins are very narrow. Even if they are opened, it is still difficult to see what kind of shop it is from outside the door.

   Fortunately, there are signboards printed on the walls outside each store, which saves some trouble.

   "I'm going to buy a few big knight slaves. Does anyone want to go to the slave area? Can we go there together." Luke turned back and asked.

"I go."

   "Is there anyone who also buys bloodline materials?"

   "Is there anyone who can buy witchcraft?"

The people of the   school whispered to each other and gradually formed a group to leave.

   "Colin, if you haven't decided what to buy, do you want to go to the slave area together?" Before leaving, Luke saw that Colin was still there, and asked aloud.

  Colin smiled and shook his head: "I plan to go shopping first."

   "Well..." Luke nodded, paused, and then lowered his voice: "On the ship, it is usually best to avoid conflicts with the wizards of the Black Pearl Caravan."

   "Of course, if you're just a junior wizard, you don't need to be polite. But for intermediate wizards, you need to measure your strength, and pay more attention to whether the other party has companions..."

   "As for the intermediate level and above..." He patted Colin on the shoulder, "I don't need to say more."

  Colin nodded.

   On the island, the Lapp School is the undisputed overlord. Although these apprentices are not said to be able to run amok on weekdays, in fact they are not far behind.

   But the ship is no longer the territory of the school, and the strength of the Black Pearl Caravan is obviously not weaker than the school. When you come here, you need to be cautious in your words and deeds.

  Of course, there is a Rapp wizard, there is no need to be too careful, just need to pay attention. After all, if there is a conflict, as long as there is no major incident, neither the official wizard of the Black Pearl Caravan nor the Rapp wizard will obviously not care.

   At this time, if trouble comes to your door, it will all depend on your own strength. This is why most of Luke and others choose to hold a group.

  Although it seems that there is only this long corridor on the lower deck, there are actually many forked roads extending in all directions. In the blink of an eye, Luke and others disappeared, leaving only Colin at the entrance.

   But he was not worried about not being able to find his way.

  In a wooden box on the right side of the entrance, there is a stack of printed black-and-white maps of the basement floor neatly stacked, on which the main business content and locations of shops in different areas are marked in detail.

  Suppressing his curiosity to go around, Colin took out a map from the wooden box, looking for a shop to buy witchcraft crystals.

  He wants to replace the bright crystal with a magic stone first!
