Chapter 377 The Presidential Suite Is Just Like This
Ever since the explosion at the manor, undercurrents have been surging in the city.
Viscount Nidas demonstrated his control over his city as a city lord. In just two days, he found out how the explosives were transported to the bottom of his garden.
The person who buried the explosives under the garden was Viscount Nidas's flower farmer.
The investigation was carried out quickly, but it was a beat slow in comparison.
When Viscount Nidas's men arrived at the flower farmer's house, they found only a rotten corpse in the house. Judging from the degree of decay, the corpse had been dead for a long time.
When Viscount Nidas learned that the flower farmer he had met several times was most likely an assassin in disguise, he did not sleep well for several days. He picked up the sword he used in his youth and could only fall asleep by holding it at night.
No one knows whether the sword, which has not been drawn for more than ten years, can still be used as a weapon to protect himself.
At the same time, Viscount Nidas's men seemed to have found something, but they did not make it public.
The undercurrents in the port city could not stop the steel cruise ship from reaching its scheduled departure date.
Viscount Nidas understood the difference very clearly. His own garden was blown up and the flower farmer was replaced by someone else. This was indeed a headache.
But if the sailing time is postponed, and the first voyage of the steel cruise ship, which has finally been allowed to try out by those big businessmen and nobles, is delayed, I am afraid Viscount Nidas will have an even bigger headache.
After all, Viscount Nidas knew very well that the natural advantages of the port city, coupled with his own policies, and the money he earned in turn were the source of his luxurious enjoyment.
At the same time, in order to avoid possible assassins lurking in the manor, Viscount Nidas simply handed the investigation over to the butler and boarded the steel cruise ship with his trusted confidants.
You can't jump out from somewhere in the ocean and stab me, right?
Five days later, the port was bustling with activity.
As the first steel cruise ship in human history and also the largest ship on the continent of Kovale, it is about to depart from this port for its first voyage. This will undoubtedly be a scene worth recording in history.
The voyage is expected to take about fifteen days.
Originally, it was a very irrational thing to go on an ocean voyage in this world, as there were countless dangers in the boundless ocean.
Storms, whirlpools, undercurrents, ferocious monsters, and even pirates.
These are enough to make all the ships that dare to take risks sink into the sea and die in regret under the cover of the endless sea.
But these dangers are nothing worth mentioning in front of the giant steel ship at this moment.
Storms, whirlpools, undercurrents, these are just weather in front of this steel monster . No matter how bad the weather is, it cannot shake the steel cruise ship at all.
There are numerous and terrifyingly powerful magical beasts in the ocean, but for this voyage, Viscount Nidas spent a huge amount of money and invited hundreds of sixth-level masters, three seventh-level masters, one of whom is a spellcaster.
Among the guests invited to visit, some of them have strong bodyguards or are powerful masters themselves.
As for those pirates, if they could find a way to get onto the steel cruise ship from those wooden ships weighing less than a thousand tons, Viscount could even invite them to be his guests.
As long as those pirates can withstand the various magic arrays and inscriptions engraved on the steel cruise ship, it can be said that this steel cruise ship is completely a wizard tower on the ocean.
It has absolute suppressive power over ships that are made of wood and weigh hardly more than 10,000 tons.
With this kind of lineup, in the eyes of Viscount Nidas, this debut voyage is completely foolproof.
With this level of equipment, let alone encountering icebergs on the sea, it is not impossible to make the icebergs into shaved ice for customers to cool down if they really encounter them.
Precisely because the steel cruise ship has such powerful protection, almost everyone believes that this voyage is foolproof.
In order to participate in this voyage that will definitely be recorded in human history, the demand for tickets for the Steel Cruise had reached a terrifying level five days before departure.
The most common ticket increased tenfold from three thousand gold griffins, and one had to spend thirty thousand gold griffins to qualify to board the ship.
As more and more foreign nobles and big businessmen got to know the news, the ship tickets began to be distributed for the second time. Many nobles and businessmen had to hand over their tickets to their superiors or bosses.
As for the nobles and merchants who had no subordinates in the city, they had no choice but to purchase tickets themselves, or turn to scalpers, a profession that had emerged along with the practice of queuing.
Meanwhile, scalpers were selling a single ticket for as much as 50,000 gold griffins. If one wanted scalpers to help buy the ticket, they would have to pay an additional 500 gold griffins.
This is the fee for having a scalper purchase the ticket for you, and is not included in the cost of purchasing the ferry ticket.
…
“Woo woo woo!”
With the sound of the steel cruise ship's whistle, the huge steel monster slowly sailed towards the ocean under the attention of countless people.
Mo Cheng and his group were guided by the waiter to their room. Unexpectedly, although they had five tickets, they stayed in the same room.
Mo Cheng silently observed the first-class cabin numbered 1001, which was where he would live for the next few days.
Although it is a cabin, its area is nearly 800 square meters.
In addition to five bedrooms, there is also a dressing room, study, bathroom, and even a dining room with a kitchen.
A large crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, the floor was covered with expensive carpets, and even the leather of the sofas was made from the leather of some precious magical beast.
These were the only valuable things that Mo Cheng could recognize, but there were many more things in the room that seemed ordinary but were of great value, which he could not see.
"Tsk, the presidential suite is just like this."
This kind of room is probably one of the best in the entire steel cruise ship, or even the best cabin.
Although it would be a little troublesome for a group of people to live together, the good thing is that everyone can get a room, and if they pay attention, nothing will happen.
On the contrary, since Helena was being targeted by the killer, living together might help better protect the mission target.
He had no intention of taking this steel cruise ship for the entire journey. As long as the steel cruise ship docked at the Kingdom of Bezeko, he would get off the ship directly to meet up with Dorothy.
…
At the same time, in another cabin.
"Darwin, how do you think such a heavy steel structure can operate on the sea?"
