#94 - Captain Gold

The suspicion towards Snape quickly dissipated in the lives of the young wizards.

Among them, Harry was the most suspicious, but in two weeks, he would usher in his first Quidditch match.

The heavy practice every day left him with no energy to think about other things.

Munn didn't pay much attention to this matter either. In his opinion, instead of spending time suspecting the professor, it would be better to learn more magic.

After completing the scheduled spell training plan on Sunday, Munn returned to Xilin again that night.

The next day, Munn and Zalan came to the pier on the southwest side of Xilin.

As the intermediate station for land-to-sea transportation closest to Liuyun City, Xilin Wharf was very prosperous.

It not only undertakes the commerce of the entire Liuyun City, but also the minerals of Heitie City further north, which are also sold from here to farther places.

Because of this, the daily traffic at this pier is particularly large.

"I think the old clothes were fine, why do I need to make such a set."

On the way to Xilin Wharf, Munn couldn't help complaining about the cumbersome clothes he was wearing.

Zalan had Daisy make a black dress for Munn yesterday, plus a large black cloak.

After getting up this morning, Munn was asked to dress neatly.

"We are here to talk about business this time. How can it work if you don't dress up a bit?"

"But won't this expose us? Didn't you say that wizards are best hidden?"

Looking at Zalan's satisfied expression, Munn couldn't help but complain.

"How could it be? This is the standard attire for the upper echelons of the Federation when going out."

"But I think the original clothes are good, at least they won't hinder me from casting spells."

Munn's original clothes were simple styles with tied cuffs, which would not hinder him at all when he took out his wand and waved it.

But now, after putting on the dress, the tight armpits made him very uncomfortable to move, and the large cloak would also hinder his arms and wand.

【Wizards should be equipped with cloaks.】

Munn didn't know why the two worlds would have the same habits.

Although in the winter at Hogwarts, all students would also wear a cloak.

But Munn still felt that this dress was very useless. Except for being able to hide the wand well, it had almost no use.

"Your combat skills are actually very well practiced. Today, as long as you can talk to Gorde well, then this dress will not be a loss."

After solving the 【Night Owl】, Zalan rarely intervened in Munn's training.

He believed that Munn could continue to train according to the steps now.

Of course, Zalan believed that the most important thing was to experience a real war, so that Munn would have greater progress.

And bringing Munn to the pier today was to hope to win another kind of war.

The seventy-three people in Old Soldier Lane will go to sea with Munn and Zalan.

Performing this matter is not only complicated, but also very expensive.

Usually, taking a boat from Xilin Wharf to the Vina Islands costs five federal gold coins per person.

Now that the war is coming, this price will only be higher.

However, Zalan firmly believed that this time, with Munn, he would definitely get a reasonable price.

After arriving at the pier, Munn saw dozens of two-masted and three-masted sailing ships lining up to enter the port.

In addition to the guests who were going to board the ship, there were also a lot of dock workers carrying goods on the pier.

Zalan led Munn forward. The Gorde they were looking for had returned to port three days ago, and they had been purchasing goods during this time.

"Why do you say these ocean-going ships need to find wizards?"

After following Zalan further and further on the pier, Munn couldn't help but become curious.

"Of course, it is to deal with the possible dangers at sea. Identifying directions, lack of medicine, these are the best choices to find a wizard in the absence of a doctor."

"But I can't see a doctor, and I can't make potions now."

"Of course I know this, but in addition to these, you may also encounter pirates or even sea monsters at sea. For these ocean-going ships, if there is a wizard, everything will be easily solved."

"Sea monsters? Are there really such things?"

Munn automatically ignored the news of the pirates. In his opinion, sea monsters are magical creatures, which is very helpful for him to understand this world.

"I don't know, I just heard others say it."

Gorde is a very powerful captain on Xilin Wharf.

He has three two-masted sailing ships under his command, the "Thorn", the "Seagull" and the "Goddess".

Because the amount of cargo carried each time is very large, Gorde has to drive the ship to the farther deep sea each time to find more people to sell the goods.

Because of this, his ship has become the busiest place for dock workers.

Following Zalan across a wooden board that only allowed one person to pass to board the deck, Munn carefully stared at the big ship in front of him.

The space on the deck was very wide, and it was estimated that it could hold about five hundred people.

On the front and back sides of the deck, there were also wooden houses built.

Next to the rear wooden house was just the stairs leading to the cabin below.

Watching the dock workers constantly moving goods down, Munn knew that the space below must be very large.

When Munn and Zalan boarded the ship, Gorde was standing high up inspecting the movement of the goods.

After seeing Zalan coming up, he immediately came to the deck from the captain's room on the second floor.

Gorde was wearing a black tricorn hat, and a corner of the hat was also decorated with an unknown colorful bird feather.

After the captain saw Zalan, the two first bumped their shoulders heavily before starting to communicate.

"I've been waiting for you to come, I hope you don't break your promise."

Gorde's skin was very dark, and when he spoke to Zalan, he showed his white teeth.

"How could I? And I have already brought the person you wanted to see today."

Hearing Zalan say this, Gorde first curiously glanced at Munn, and after getting Zalan's nod, he came to Munn.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the wizard, Your Excellency."

Watching Gorde bow, Munn just stood there and nodded.

This was the way he and Zalan had agreed on. No matter what the other party asked, he must remain restrained.

"Wizard Your Excellency, you are very welcome to come to the Thorn, if you want to go to the Vina Islands yourself,

We will not charge any fees."

After Gorde finished speaking, he looked at Zalan, and then continued.

"Oh, your guardian will not be charged either."

"That's not enough, Gorde, we agreed that you should reserve at least eighty places for us."

Hearing that Gorde had gone back on his word, Zalan's face instantly turned ugly.

However, Gorde did not directly refuse, but instead told of his difficulties.

"I'm very sorry, I don't know why there are so many people going to sea this time, we really don't have enough space."

Gorde's tone was very humble, but his attitude was unusually resolute.

Zalan did not continue to bargain with the other party, but turned to look at Munn.

"Honorable wizard, they think you are too young and don't have much magical power. If you don't mind, please show us your skills."

Listening to Zalan's slightly teasing voice, Munn tried to maintain a serious expression.

On the way here, Zalan had said that it was very likely that he would have to show off his magic, otherwise it would be difficult to negotiate the matter.

After receiving Zalan's signal, Munn just nodded, and then began to look for an object on the ship that could be used to cast a spell.

There was wood everywhere on the ship, and ordinary spells would not show any effect at all.

But in addition to wood, there were also many sailors and crew members.

After seeing these people, Munn's eyes couldn't help but light up.
