"Brother, why do we have to wait until the eighth of next month? The pier is so big and there are so many ships. Is there only one ship going to Velvet Arc City? "Lin Yi asked in surprise. .
"Hey, you two are new here, right? We're in the Zhenduan Sea Domain, and Verdant Arc City is in the Verdant Arc Sea Domain. Not only is the distance from here to Verdant Arc City far, but the key is that the forces of the two seas are constantly at war with each other, and it's extremely chaotic. If we don't take good care of both sides, then we won't be able to get through! " The waiter explained to the two of them, "That's why ordinary passenger ships can't do this business at all. There are only two or three experienced old ships that use this route at the entire pier. A round trip would take a month, so we'll have to wait for a while …"
"Even if there are only two or three of them, and each round trip takes a month, we don't need to wait for an entire month, right? Could it be that the ship you mentioned on the eighth of next month is the one that just left? "Lin Yi frowned.
"That's right. Actually, other than the one that just left, there's another slightly larger one that set sail half a month ago. It should be stopping at Velvet Arc City right now and will return here in half a month's time. However, the spots on this ship have already been booked in advance, so the two of you will have to wait a little longer." The waiter shook his head and suggested, "If you're sure that you're leaving on the eighth of next month, can I reserve two seats for you? However, you will need to pay a deposit of ten pieces of spirit jades first. "
"Alright then, thank you." Lin Yi thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was the only way. He immediately gave the waiter ten pieces of Spirit Jades. No matter what happened at that time, it was always a good idea to reserve two seats. In any case, even if he didn't take this ship, he didn't mind wasting ten pieces of Spirit Jades.
"Alright, on the eighth of next month, please come early." The shop assistant took the Spiritual Jades and immediately ran to a wooden house that looked like a toll booth. He took out two tickets and gave them to Lin Yi and Liu Jingning.
After putting away the ticket, Lin Yi turned to Huang Xiaotao and said, "Since we're already here, let's take things as they come. Since we don't have any other choice, let's just stay here and take a look. "
"Okay, the information from the Law Enforcement Hall said that Wu Bao Liang appeared in the Verdant Arc Territorial Waters, but the information might not be accurate and timely. Furthermore, he might not always stay in the Verdant Arc Territorial Waters. Who knows, he might have gone to the nearby territorial waters," Huang Xiaotao comforted him.
"Hmm, that's true. Let's try our luck here first." Lin Yi nodded.
Actually, in his opinion, temporarily staying here and not being able to return was not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Cheng Ketian was still eyeing Velvet Arc City like a tiger eyeing its prey. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over. He could avoid this threat.
"Actually, I think it's very strange. Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan both lost the escort, yet they left us behind and rushed back. Aren't they asking for a scolding? I don't know what they're thinking …" Huang Xiaotao couldn't help but mutter.
"They must have some other plan. When we go back, we can push the blame onto the two of us. By the time we go back, the matter will have already been sealed in the coffin. "Lin Yi smiled indifferently.
Based on the disdainful attitude of the two of them towards him and Huang Xiaotao, this kind of thing was not difficult to speculate. However, Lin Yi agreeing to be the escort was an accident. He didn't care about these things and was too lazy to care about whether these people would slander him or not.
"If that's really the case, they're too despicable. This situation was caused by the two of them voluntarily surrendering. Otherwise, the escort might not have been lost, "Huang Xiaotao said indignantly.
"There's no knowing what's in a person's heart. Who knows?" Lin Yi shook his head. Then, he said, "Actually, I think another thing is strange. Those four experts at the peak of the late Golden Elixir realm seemed to have planned and prepared, but in the boundless sea fog, they didn't know the route we took. How could it be possible? Unless … "
"Unless what?" Huang Xiaotao asked, blinking her eyes.
"Unless there's another inside story." Lin Yi was only making a bold guess. So far, there was no substantial evidence, so he didn't go into detail. Then, he said, "Forget it. We have to stay here for a month. Let's find an inn to stay at first."
"Okay." Huang Xiaotao nodded. Suddenly, she felt a little heavier. It turned out that Lin Yi had taken off his coat and put it on her. Suddenly, she felt warm in her heart.
The reason why Lin Yi did this was actually because he had learned a lesson from before. Although Huang Xiaotao was covered with a veil and others couldn't see her appearance clearly, her exquisite figure couldn't be covered, and it was still easy to attract attention.
If he encountered people like Cheng Ketian again, it might be another trouble. But now that he had put on the coat, even his figure was covered, so no one would pay attention to him anymore.
The two of them immediately came out of the dock and walked to a town not far from the dock. Like Weiwan City, this place was also the center of the Zhenduan Sea Area. Its name was the same, Zhenduan City.
Rumor had it that the Zhenduan Sea Area was much more chaotic than the Weiwan Sea Area. But from the situation at the dock just now, it could be felt that there were far more people here than in Weiwan City.
This situation became more obvious when the two of them entered the Zhenduan City. The streets were bustling with people, full of people. It was a bustling scene. This long-lost feeling even made Lin Yi think of the secular world.
Only in the commercial streets of big cities in the secular world, and only during holidays and promotions, could such a crowded situation be seen. As for other places on the Heaven-Stage Island, even the Middle Island Market was not so crowded.
Lin Yi was secretly shocked. While pulling Huang Xiaotao, he squeezed into the crowd and drifted with the flow. However, after walking for a full hour, he was surprised to find that not only was it difficult to find a boat to Weiwan City, but even finding an inn was also an extravagant hope.
They had already strolled three streets and passed by seven or eight inns. However, every single one of them clearly hung a sign indicating that they were full.
"What's wrong with this place?" Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao both looked at each other in puzzlement. Even if it was the first time they came to Zhenduan City, the two of them could clearly feel that this place was a little strange.
Just as the two of them were puzzled, they followed the crowd to a square and heard many people shouting one after another. Although they were full of energy, the crowd was too large, and soon it was covered by the noise of the crowd.
However, with Lin Yi's hearing, as long as he was willing, he could clearly hear the content of these people shouting after a little closer.
