Neptune looked very calm, as if he didn’t notice the eyes of people around him, and found a hotel that was still acceptable.
“Welcome…”
Then when the waiter saw him, he immediately couldn’t even speak clearly.
“S-Sea God…”
“Open a room upstairs!”
Neptune didn’t make things difficult for him, and directly ejected a gold soul coin onto the counter.
“Okay, okay…”
The waiter tremblingly handed him the key to the best room in the hotel respectfully with both hands.
Neptune took it and walked straight to his room.
In just a few moments, the news that the future sea god Neptune lived in this hotel spread throughout the Hanhai City. For a time, the entire hotel was full, and many people chose to stay in this hotel just to be closer to the gods. If they could get a little bit of the gods’ aura, then maybe they would be lucky in the future. It can only be said that people are superstitious, even soul masters are not immune to it.
During this period, no one was so blind as to disturb Neptune, because they knew their own strength. Facing this big man, it is better to be quiet than to move. If someone suddenly disturbed him, what if he left a bad impression on this great god, wouldn’t that be the end of him?
So he spent the night very peacefully.
The next morning.
He left the hotel, walked onto the street, and began to buy some items necessary for survival at sea, as well as other sundries.
The process attracted the attention of countless people, but no one dared to disturb him. All the shops he visited basically had a booming business from then on, and even became the most popular shops in Hanhai City. It lasted for a long time! He calmly bought everything, hired a boat, and then returned to the hotel.
The next day.
Neptune calmly got up, packed his things, and left the hotel.
The waiter watched him go away with a great figure, feeling both proud and disappointed. He was proud that as an ordinary person, he had the honor to receive the future sea god. He was disappointed that the sea god had left and would probably never come again.
Neptune didn’t know that after he left, the inn he had stayed in was renamed the God’s Inn and became the most famous attraction in the entire Hanhai City!
Especially the room he stayed in, which became a room in the entire inn that would never be open to anyone, and no one could live in it again. But visitors still came in an endless stream, just to stay in this inn where the sea god was said to have lived, and feel the breath of the god.
The closer the room Is to the one he stayed in, the more expensive it is and the harder it is to book…
After Neptune walked out of the hotel, he slowly walked through the entire city, exited the city from the south gate of Hanhai City, and followed the wide road specially opened on the reef outside the city, down the reef, and headed straight for the dock.
If you want to go out to sea from the Hanhai City Pier, you need to take this road. Therefore, although it is difficult to build a road on the reef, the Hanhai City officials still spared no effort to repair this road. The pier here is very large, with at least twenty piers hundreds of meters long extending into the sea, with hundreds of ships moored.
This place can be said to be the starting point and end point of maritime trade, and it is also a huge source of income for the entire Hanhai City. Although there are many powerful soul beasts in the sea, there are also endless wealth in the sea. Living by the sea has long become an unchanging truth in Hanhai City. Even if people die in the mouths of sea soul beasts every year, this situation cannot be changed.
Near the sea, this area is mostly saline-alkali land, which is not suitable for growing crops. Only the various creatures in the sea can bring benefits to Hanhai City. It is also because of the sea that people here can exchange various resources.
Soon, Neptune found the ship he rented yesterday. It was a brand new ship that looked quite good. The entire hull was painted iron-colored. Only the deck was decorated with red and white paint. It was said that painting the hull iron-colored could prevent soul beasts from attacking as much as possible. The hull was 80 meters long and 35 meters wide, which was considered a large ship among sea ships.
If you look closely, you can see that under the iron-gray paint on the hull is a thick layer of armor that protects the hull. Neptune chose this ship because it is large enough and has good defense capabilities, which can also avoid some unnecessary troubles.
“Your Excellency, welcome to the Wind Rider.”
Dozens of crew members, led by the captain, had been waiting by the side of the ship. When they saw him, they came over immediately, smiling like a typical lackey.
“Well, everything is ready.”
Neptune nodded calmly, without showing any condescending attitude, and was extremely approachable.
“That’s natural. Everything is ready.”
The captain is a middle-aged man in his 40s, who not only has rich sailing experience, but is also physically fit and strong. The rest of the crew is similar, and most importantly, they are all soul masters. It can be imagined that the overall quality of this ship is absolutely excellent!
“Your Excellency, please.”
The captain acted as if he was leading the way and motioned him to walk ahead.
Neptune did not refuse and walked ahead. As soon as he stepped onto the deck, the strong smell of the sea hit him in the face and invaded his sense of smell.
The sea breeze howled, bringing a chill in this late autumn season. Fortunately, most of the people on the boat were soul masters with strong physical resistance, so this little bit of cold wind was nothing to them.
The Wind Rider has five floors in total. Four of the upper decks are for living, and the lower deck is for storage. As the one who spends money, Neptune naturally lives on the top deck, and the crew lives on the lower deck.
“Weigh anchor and set sail.”
Seeing that everything was ready, the experienced captain gave the order and the Wind Rider officially set off. Neptune had already drawn a special sea chart for him and asked him to proceed in the designated direction.
As for where the sea chart came from, it was naturally through the system’s search function to find the location of Sea God Island, and then according to the sea survival knowledge attached to the character setting, it was drawn. It can’t be compared with professional ones, but at least the route is clear.
The weather was fine and the sea was calm.
The hull of Chengfeng was quite large. After raising the anchor, with the efforts of the sailors, it easily left the port and went straight into the sea.
When Chengfeng was completely out in the sea and out of the port, the captain gave an order, hoisted the main sail, adjusted the direction, and accelerated towards the destination!
The scenery of the sea Is irreplaceable by any other scenery. If you have never been to the sea, you will never be able to feel the magnificent feeling.
The boundless sea, where the water meets the sky in the distance.
At this time, the sun has risen from the east, shining on the sparkling sea…
At this time, Neptune was standing on the top deck, gazing at the charming scenery of the sea. The sea breeze blew on his body. Although it was a little cold, it seemed to open his heart and make his mood become comfortable.
