Chapter 31 The Boy and the Girl Meet Again (Part 1)
Two days later, a very lively scene appeared in the port of Taji City. Because today, the first steel giant ship in human history and the largest ship on the continent was about to set off for a maiden voyage in this port. The voyage was expected to take about ten days and the voyage was about two thousand kilometers.
Originally, sailing across the ocean in this world was a very dangerous thing. There were countless dangers in the boundless sea. Unpredictable storms, invisible whirlpools and undercurrents, and unknown ferocious magic beasts were all enough to destroy ships that dared to take risks.
However, these dangers were not worth mentioning before the giant steel ship Titan Poseidon. Storm? Whirlpool? Undercurrent? Do you think those things will have any effect on a huge steel ship, which is more than 300 meters long, 30 meters wide, 40 meters high, and weighed hundreds of tons? As for the magic beasts, there were dozens of level six masters and hundreds of level five masters on board. Just in case, the mage guild even sent two masters of level seven from the headquarters. The combined strength of these people was enough to overthrow a country. In some small countries, even they didn’t even have level seven masters.
Because Titan Poseidon had such powerful protection, almost everyone believed that this voyage would be safe. In order to participate in this great voyage, which was sure to be recorded in human history, the battle for the Titan Poseidon ticket had been very intense. Although the ship ticket of three thousand gold coins was already the most expensive ship ticket ever recorded by mankind, and it was limited to nobles and large merchants to buy it, it was sold out on the first day of sale. But the matter did not end there. As more and more foreign aristocrats and large merchants learned of this news, the ticket distribution began for the second time. Many nobles and merchants who had already gotten the tickets had to hand over the tickets to their superiors. Although they also wanted to board that ship, their own jobs were more important in comparison.
In Taji City, the nobles and merchants who had no subordinates had to use money to buy the tickets. The ticket originally worth three thousand gold coins eventually rose to thirty thousand gold coins. But even in this way, it was still hard to buy a ticket. After all, the person who could use three thousand gold coins to buy a ticket was not a person who lacked money.
Ulysses was still wearing his light mage cloak that had remained unchanged for years. He was slowly walking towards the entrance of Titan Poseidon. Because this ship was really too big, its entrance did not use a boarding plank like ordinary ships, but a red-carpeted staircase. Walking on it was like walking on a flat ground, it was very steady.
"Sir, are you a member of the guard team or a passenger? If you are a guard team, please go there first. If you are a passenger, please show the ticket." Looking at Ulysses wearing a light mage cloak, the young mage who was responsible for checking tickets was a bit hesitant, and asked him tentatively. Because in general, nobles and merchants would not wear mage robes to appear under the public, but if they were from the guard team, they should know the meeting place before departure.
"I'm a passenger." Ulysses showed him his ticket. This time he just wanted to enjoy this pleasant trip quietly as a passenger, so as to temporarily forget all his previous worries. During this voyage, he didn't want to carry anything, he just wanted to have a good time.
"Ah! Sorry, please forgive me." After checking Ulysses's ticket, the young mage hurriedly apologized to him. In his opinion, the one in front of him was obviously an odd nobleman who liked to wear strange clothes. Generally speaking, only the kind of aristocrats with very high status would have these weird hobbies. If the aristocrat was unhappy because of what he said just now, it was not good. The Mage guild had urged them not to offend these high-ranking nobles.
"It’s alright. So can I get on the boat?" Ulysses smiled, not taking the matter to heart.
"Of course, please let me show you to your room." The young mage bowed to him and began to lead Ulysses.
Five minutes later, he took Ulysses to a room with number one hundred and one written on it. He opened the door, and respectfully said to Ulysses,
"Sir, this is your room, and this is the key to your room, because I have to check other guests, so please excuses me. I hope you will have a good time on this voyage." After handing over a key to Ulysses, the young mage left.
Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief after entering his room and closing the door. To be honest, the conversation with that young mage just now made him feel very uncomfortable. He had never been treated so respectfully since he was born. Looking at him like that, it was as if Ulysses were an extremely noble nobleman.
After calming down for a while, Ulysses began to look at the room that he would be staying in for the next ten days.
Hanging from the ceiling was a large crystal lamp, the floor was covered with an expensive purple silk carpet, and at the corner was a black leather sofa. All this showed the luxury of this room. It seemed that it was really worth the money. But what Ulysses cared most about was the big bed in the middle of the room. Like other furniture, this bed was made of very expensive materials. But it wasn't this that had attracted Ulysses’s attention, it was something else.
This bed was very, very big. Big enough for four people to roll on it. The top was covered with all pink-red bedding. As we all know, red was the color that would most stimulate a man's desires, and this obviously shouldn't be a big bed for a person to sleep in. Any man would know what it meant when they saw this bed.
"I can finally come out! Wow! What a beautiful bed!" When Ulysses faced the bed in a daze, Aya, who felt that there was no one around, automatically transformed. Seeing the big pink-red bed in the middle of the house, she jumped up with joy. Since she only bought one ticket, she was allowed to come out only when there was no one around Ulysses. As for why she only bought one ticket when she had nearly a hundred thousand gold coins, according to her statement, she would not spend a penny for anything other than clothes and accessories. Anyway, she could become a bracelet and sneak in.
"Aya, change back. I want to take a walk on the deck." Seeing Aya's excitement, Ulysses suddenly felt something wrong.
"No! Master, it's rare to have such a great bed, so let us get intimate." As expected by Ulysses, Aya was having such a bad idea.
"No! Become a bracelet!" Ulysses categorically rejected Aya's evil proposal.
"Waah! Master is so cruel! We have already boarded the ship, why do I have to become a bracelet! Master is a demon!" Aya immediately put on a tearful face.
"Uh! It's not that. We have just gotten on the boat, and we may encounter some things like inspections. I promise you that you can move freely after sailing. But you have to wear the cloak." Ulysses couldn't stop Aya's tears and surrendered.
"Oh, so this is the reason. Okay, then I will reluctantly change it again! But master, you can't break your promise!" After speaking, Aya turned into a bracelet shape again.
"Huh!" Ulysses, who persuaded settled Aya, let out a sigh of relief and left the room and walked to the upper deck.
"Big brother?" Ulysses had just walked onto the deck, but before he could start to admire the beauty of the sea, he was interrupted by a girl's voice like a lark.
