Chapter 786: Bich Warship

On the White Citrus Sea Vessel.

The rain was falling gently on the sea, and the clouds in the sky looked as if they were sketched with a pencil, with faint patterns and a hint of light shining through.

The raindrops struck the round windows of the sea vessel, producing soft sounds before sliding down. The sea water crashed against the sides of the ship, creating a continuous splash.

At this moment, Lolan Hill was staying in her own cabin. The room was illuminated by the warm, orange glow of candles, casting a gentle halo around her hair, making it appear softer.

This young lady was now sitting at a wooden table, writing in her diary, documenting her experiences in the Eastern Region over the past few years, as well as summarizing various matters.

As the scratching sound continued, clear black words flowed from the tip of her pen, gradually arranged on the pale yellow pages. While writing, her eyebrows occasionally relaxed and then frowned slightly, as if her emotions were slowly fluctuating with her memories.

Unconsciously, she had met many people.

She lifted her hand holding the pen, letting the end of the pen touch her chin, recalling that day when she woke up under the evening glow in the mountains, leaving the remote mountains, and encountering a chatty uncle who saved her from a monster attack.

At that time, she had no memories, everything was so new. She followed this uncle through the deep mountains and swamps, and later came into contact with the Ye Yu tribe’s village.

On the day she entered the village, she met Bai Zao, who was newly married, along with her husband. She stayed at their home and received much care.

Then, she joined the Wuzhe Chamber of Commerce, gradually leaving the Minze Mountains, entering Leixia Marsh, and thus began to come into contact with the people and events of the House of Plantagenet. It was there that she met Elf Princess Aitexi, agreeing to help her cultivate fruits and return to the Western Continent together.

Afterwards, she embarked on a journey to join the Xiangyu Sect. On the way, she arrived at the Yan Yao Continent, witnessing the grandeur of the Yan Yao Festival, and learned about the significance and role of Dragon Priestesses in the Eastern Region.

Not long after entering the Huilu Continent, she was invited by her senior sister Jin Hua to join the Xiangyu Sect, where she met several fellow sect members, including a witch named Raefelica, who lived in the Eastern Region and was skilled in crafting magnificent dresses.

Then, she went on a mission to the Xi Mu Range. In Xiyou Continent, Yama Palace, the Chi Clan, and Zhaoye Palace, various events such as intense conflicts, betrayals, suppressions, and surges of beasts, as well as scenes of sacrifices, celestial birds, three treasures of Yama, falling stars, all flashed through her eyes, gradually transforming into the words on her page.

After resolving the situation in the twilight mountains, she was finally able to rest for a period of time and slept in the Zhaoye Palace on Moshanzhou for nearly a year. Afterward, she returned to the Xiangyu Sect and then went to Luo Capital to participate in the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, watch the Crimson Tower Sword Duel, and climb the mountain for a feast.

During this journey, although she did not experience all aspects of this eastern dynasty, its long-standing myths and legends were everywhere. The Seven Phoenix True Flame Lord, the Kingdom of Five Phoenixes, the Seven Lei Islands, the Land of Xin, the Remnants of the Thunder Basin, the Scattered Rock Mountain Range, the Ashes of the Hui Lu Fire, the Chi Clan, the Ancient Battle of the King of Hell, the Shattered Heavenly Cavern, the Purple Forest of Dusk Mountain, the Bluebird Carrying Branches, the White Phoenix Brushing the Bay, and so on.

The magic witch and her five reared phoenixes deeply influenced every aspect of this continent. Countless legends and customs were intertwined with them, making people unable to resist being immersed in these mysterious and ancient legends.

If there was a chance in the future, she would come back to walk and see again. In those perilous terrains and heavenly caverns, remnants of the past still remained. These remnants might tell her how the ancient organization, the Divine Winged Sun, gradually declined and perished.

But now, the stories of the East had to be temporarily put aside.

After freely expressing her emotions and feelings, the young lady put down her pen and slowly closed the book.

Under the flickering yellow candlelight, the phoenix silhouette sketched on the cover seemed to flutter, evoking boundless reverie.

It’s time to go back.

Lolan Hill’s pure white nightgown turned slightly yellow under the candlelight. She stood up, placed the book in a nearby travel chest, and extinguished the candle on the table.

The room darkened, and she gradually fell into a peaceful sleep.

—

Several days later, the Baiyoumu wooden ship and a row of tall warships finally arrived at the sea area where the Pearl Islands were located.

Standing on the deck at the bow of the ship, several people stood side by side, gazing at the white sandy beach that emerged from the sea far away, and a small island covered with trees came into everyone’s view.

“This is White Pearl Island. Although it is not large, it has a shallow bay around it where many oysters are cultivated, producing pearls.”

Today, the Sea Lord wore a blue silk robe, held a folding fan, and wore a longsword at his waist, introducing the place to the people on the ship. Of course, he mainly wanted to interact with the Golden Phoenix Witch to build a relationship.

Extraordinary beings like them usually have very long lifespans. With the rise of the new generation, they might become close friends for nearly a hundred years. Having more friends is always beneficial.

“Our fleet will rest here for one day to replenish food and water. The young ladies can also take a tour of the island. If you like, you can even choose your favorite pearls.”

“The quality of pearls here is very high; they can often sell for dozens or even hundreds of times their value when brought to the heartland of the Dynasty,” he said candidly, seemingly unconcerned about revealing any trade secrets. Or perhaps, in the eyes of this wealthy young master, such wealth was trivial.

“Is the pearl farm here subordinate to the Greenwave Skysea Pavilion?” Lolan Hill looked at the approaching light blue shallow sea.

“Princess Lolan truly guessed right. Yes, this island indeed belongs to our faction. Not only does it bring us abundant income, but we also select the best products to pay tribute to the Luo Capital, serving as taxes for the Dynasty.”

He gave a brief explanation and then continued.

“So, feel free to choose, ladies. There’s no need to be shy.”

Seeing how generous this young sea lord was, Lolan Hill found it difficult to refuse outright and merely nodded slowly. Among them, Aitexi was a princess, Erin was a lady from a ducal family, and Ye Ling was the legitimate daughter of a noble house—none of them would be swayed by money. On reflection, she realized she was actually the poorest among them.

The young lady shook her head, dispelling that odd thought, and as the ship docked, she followed the others toward the gangway.

Behind her, Aitexi and Erin were quietly discussing the various uses of pearls for jewelry and cosmetics. Ye Ling, the little dragon maiden, did not use the gangway; instead, she jumped gleefully from the ship’s railing, gliding with her small dragon wings and landing on the pale stone tiles of the dock.

Inside the harbor, there was a bustling scene. Over twenty warships of the Skysea Pavilion lined up, continuously loading and unloading people and goods. Besides replenishing food and water, they also transported a small portion of cargo.

Only now, after stopping, did Lolan Hill take the time to properly examine these special warships at sea.

[Green Dragon Warship] (Pearl Excellence Grade): A warship built by the Greenwave Skysea Pavilion, using the skeleton of a Dragon Sequence 6 · Green Jade Sea Dragon as the backbone of the ship, with green jade sea dragon scales embedded in its bottom, greatly enhancing its defense and driving away weaker sea beasts. The ship has four special effects: [Dragon Scale Armor Lv.4], [Dragon Bone Hull Lv.3], [Dragon Aura Field Lv.2], and [Wave Splitter Lv.2].

No wonder such warships were built by a major sect. The materials were luxurious and the combat capabilities extraordinary. The Skysea Pavilion had three such fleets. Only the Greenwave Skysea Pavilion could afford such high expenses.

This major sect dominating the wealthiest prefectures in the land was truly as rich as a nation.

Thinking this way, the sequence 8 sea beast obstructing the Skysea Pavilion’s expansion of its maritime routes must be even more terrifying.
