Chapter 348 Stranger, Do You Know the Lord of Glory?
Gretel spent a lot of time to explain to Captain Jacob what he wanted the sheep for. It was an experiment, really an experiment, using live sheep to test magic, not something weird!
Well, if you are unlucky, you may torture the sheep to death; if you are lucky, you will have to dissect the sheep to see if there is any damage to the lungs...
"So how many sheep are you going to kill at one time?" Captain Jacob looked at him worriedly:
"There aren't many left on the ship! Don't do all the damage in one go, and you won't have anything to eat in the last few days!"
He knew all too well about the magician's experiments. It's not a big deal if a bunch of experimental animals are killed by a slip of the hand. If this Nordmark mage kills all the sheep at once, the magicians and knights on the ship, as well as the guests, will complain...
"No, don't worry!" Gretel promised again and again:
"Besides, it takes time to dissect sheep. How many sheep can I dissect in one day? Up to four, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, no more!"
"...Okay, you can go talk to the logistics chief yourself! If you kill the sheep and the passengers complain, I won't speak for you!"
Gretel thus lived a life of experimenting with magic - dissection - experimenting with magic again - and dissecting again. Wearing long leather shoes and a leather apron every day, he walks around the kitchen and helps the chefs, leaving his whole body in a mess. Seeing him like this, Black Crow Swamp would probably be elated immediately.
Under this kind of high-intensity work, Grete's magic control level improved rapidly - mainly because he could directly cut open the sheep's alveoli every time and visually inspect the damage to the sheep's alveoli.
And Captain Jacob is also very awesome. The day before the trade group disembarked, he actually finished analyzing the spell model and answered all Gretel's questions. Except, of course, one-lung ventilation. Grete watched him demonstrate everything to her, with exclamation written on his face:
"so fast……"
Archmage Serrano next door is still pulling out his hair!
"of course!"
Captain Jacob held his head high and accepted Gretel's admiration. As soon as Gretel left, he immediately put up a water mirror and an illumination spell, and went back and forth, trying to count his hair:
It seems that the blank area in the center of his head has expanded by another 5 millimeters... This Nordmark mage can really cause him trouble!
Gretel snickered and put the captain's resentment behind him. He followed the trading team, turning his head left and right, curiously observing the port of Anyia. This port is so different from the port in Nevis!
The port of Anya is the largest seaport on the Hermon Peninsula and the only trading port. Facing the bay, leaning against the mountains, it is surrounded on three sides by mountains, jungles and wilderness. Grete stood at the port and looked far into the distance. A rich greenery stretched from the hills not far away to the skyline. It was impossible to tell how far the mountains and forests extended.
With so many mountains and forests, the wood is naturally very hard to build. Along the way Grete walked, the trestle bridges were all made of logs. Giant logs as thick as two arms were smashed directly into the depths of the bay. Planks more than one meter wide and palm-thick were lined up on the trestle bridge. There was not a single seam between the planks. It feels extra safe to go up there.
In comparison, the wooden trestle in Port Nevis cannot be called wood at all!
Gretel measured it and secretly sighed. When he obtained the oak staff, he followed Elder Erwin throughout the hills, and the largest oak trees he saw were not as big as this!
"Is there any bigger wood?"
he asked quietly. Before the magician in front could answer, Bernard carried the big bone stick and said "Hmm" from behind:
"Look at that ship."
Grete followed his direction and looked. Outside the bay in the distance, a ship was approaching quickly. It had a slender hull and looked a bit like the Gondola from the previous life, but it was more than twice as big. Come to think of it, only this kind of giant wood can make the keel of a long ship.
The side of the ship is not high, and it does not have another floor on the deck like the Philosopher's Stone. The bows on both sides of the ship are pointed and pointed upward, pointing straight to the sky. The shape is symmetrical, the only difference is that one side is carved with a vivid dragon head, with roaring eyes and a ferocious shape.
On both sides of the ship, the densely arranged shields reflected silver light, like two rows of silver dragon scales, majestic and murderous.
"This is……?"
"It's a warship. From the looks of it, it probably just came back from a job."
Bernard's voice was faintly excited. Grete shrank subconsciously and quickly followed the team.
There are many sails and masts in the harbor. The entire city of Anyia, and even the entire Black Gate Peninsula, can be said to be vast and sparsely populated. However, standing at the harbor and taking a glance, there are at least a hundred masts, tall and short. The entire port area was instantly filled with people.
Those who solicit customers, those who sell goods, those who carry luggage for customers, tall and short, large and small, the heads of those running can't be seen at a glance. Gretel and his group walked along the trestle, and they even had to turn around from time to time to avoid passing pedestrians.
They walked out of the port area, passed through several long streets, and entered a hotel directly. The hotel was a three-story building. The outer walls were all made of extremely strong logs. There was also a sloped roof made of logs. Grete visually measured the height and it was definitely higher than the six floors in his previous life.
A triangular flag was erected on the top of the building. A crow was painted on the heavy canvas, and the strong wind sounded. The group of people passed through the building and settled in an independent courtyard at the back. Archmage Serrano pointed at the flag and said loudly:
"Everyone, look for this flag. This is the symbol of [Crow Hotel]. In the entire port of Anyia, anyone you ask can take you back. We will rest here for one night and set off after breakfast tomorrow morning. You can go on your own Go hang out at the port, pay attention to safety, and remember to come back early in the evening!”
A group of people agreed with a bang. Except for a few people who were on duty to guard the goods, most members of the trade group were eager to go shopping. Gretel hurriedly washed up, put on a set of ordinary clothes, and immediately dragged Bernard onto the street.
The long street where [Crow Hotel] is located is quite prosperous. Grete walked all the way, and the shops on both sides were full of dazzling arrays:
Deer skin, wolf skin, bear skin, seal skin, walrus skin;
Thick, dense and lustrous black fox furs are placed alone in the middle and hung in rows on wooden shelves;
Long knives, short knives, giant axes, and war hammers were arranged in rows, the cold light was harsh, and the sound of hammering inside was deafening;
After walking for a while, there was a small building made of bricks and stones. In the display window inlaid with large pieces of transparent glass, there were sets of white porcelain...
Gretel walked and watched all the time, dizzying. As he walked, he suddenly saw a cute little house in the gap between the huge wooden house:
There are two buildings juxtaposed to the front of the house. The one on the left is surrounded by two elegant arcs, like a petal that is full at the bottom and sharp at the top. When viewed together with the three-story round steps at the door, the oval wooden door in the center and the rectangular glass window on the second floor, it looks like a flower. Penguins sitting in place;
The one on the right is a cylinder made of gravel. A piece of the cylinder is dug out and a rectangular wooden door is built in. The height of the cylinder is one-third lower than the penguin on the left, and there is a section of space at the top. Another spire was put on it;
Behind the two doorways, three or four sharp roofs extend out, as well as a two-story building. At first glance, the whole building looks like the most innocent creation of a child, yet soaked with the wind and frost of the times.
Gretel couldn't help but walk over and take a look. The wooden door of the Penguin Building was ajar, and there was faint sound of music flowing inside, but the cylindrical wooden door was tightly closed. Grete hesitated at the door for a moment, hesitating whether he could go in for a visit. Suddenly, the penguin wooden door opened with a creak, and an old man in a white robe walked out with a kind smile:
"Stranger, are you willing to come in and have a look and understand the grace of the Lord of Glory?"
