Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 74 Ship Market

The    giant ship slowly docked at the east port of the city.

  It is also thanks to the fact that the pier is deep enough into the ocean, otherwise, if you want to board these giant ships, you may have to take another boat.

  Whoosh!

   As Colin silently observed the giant ship by the pier not far away, a flame suddenly shot from the top of the mountain behind him!

   In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the giant ship.

The    flames dissipated, revealing the back of a gray-robed wizard who was hovering in front of the bow statue of the main ship in the middle of the fleet.

   It's the Rapp wizard!

  Two figures who also seemed to be official wizards flew out from the main ship, and together they welcomed Wizard Rapp onto the giant ship.

   Immediately afterwards, a voice suddenly came from the toss-girl-style bow of the main ship:

   "Ahem, wizard friends of Blackrock Island, we are the Black Pearl Caravan!"

   "The ships of the caravan will stay in the port of the island for seven days. During this time, everyone is welcome to come to the ship market to buy!"

   "Knowledge, materials, slaves...you can buy everything you want here!"

   With the sound of the sound, the figures on the iron-clad ships swayed, and soon, huge chain ladders were erected between the ships to fix and connect with each other.

   "Thanks to Mr. Rapp... Sixty years ago, these caravans were not like this." Luke said with some emotion. Although he has never experienced it, he has only heard it, and he still sighs a little.

   Sixty years ago, before the wizard Rapp came to this island. The official wizard of the original Blackrock family on the island has died.

   At that time, these caravans were not so polite.

  Transactions always only happen between two peers.

   These caravans, in some places, are also called pirates!

  Colin remained silent. After all, they, these weak people, can have such a stable life now, or rely on the shelter and order established by Wizard Rapp on the island.

   Kaka Kaka.

   At this moment, the giant ship closest to the pier in the distance heard the sound of the collision of mechanical gears, and in the next second, a sloping gray-black steel staircase was raised from its side and accurately placed on the pier.

  The steel ladder is about five or six meters wide as a whole, with railings installed on both sides, just like the boarding ladder of the previous plane.

   There is no doubt that this is the entrance to the ship market.

  Colin stepped forward, ready to go to the ship market. But the corner of the clothes was caught by Lukla.

   "Wait for the adults to go first." Luke reminded meekly, using his eyes to signal Colin to pay attention to the senior wizard apprentices next to Regana.

  Colin paused slightly.

   Wait until Regana, the senior wizard apprentices, passed in front of them, and then continue to move forward with the others.

   Walking up the steel ladder, it looks shaky and fragile, but it is very stable when walking... It should be reinforced with witchcraft.

The sound of   's foot on it is also dull and thick.

   The ladder is not short, the senior wizard apprentices have already flown up, and now only the intermediate wizard apprentices and a small number of junior wizard apprentices who were brought to the world, and the newly advanced Regana are still climbing.

   After a short while, Colin finally finished the stairs and went to the deck.

   It was a gray-black plane with no masts and no sails. There were only three huge chimneys that stood like thorn ridges, and a few faint white-gray smoke was slowly emerging from it.

   At the bridge in the middle of the ship, many crew members dressed as sailors are carrying things on the deck one after another, and it seems that they are preparing to set up stalls.

   "There's nothing good in the stalls outside," Luke turned back across Colin. He led the crowd to the bridge not far away, and introduced:

   "The Black Pearl Caravan has a total of fifteen ships. When docked at Black Rock Island, the main ship and the four auxiliary ships next to it are mainly open to us."

   "This week, the decks of the five ships will be full of stalls. Usually there is nothing good, but you can also go shopping."

   "The real ship market of the caravan is actually hidden on the first floor below the deck, which is like the Wizard's Lane on the island, with various shops."

   Colin nodded, apparently Luke specifically told him this first-timer.

   I have to say that although Luke is slick and sophisticated, he grasps the proportions just right and will not be annoying.

   Followed Luke down the narrow stairs and down the deck, and before he could reach the lower floor, the loud voice first entered his ears.

   After taking a few more steps, a gray corridor that was wide enough on a ship appeared in front of him.

The    corridor can accommodate four people side by side, and there are similar cabins on both sides. The doors of these cabins are very narrow. Even if they are opened, it is still difficult to see the specific store from the door.

   Fortunately, signs are printed on the walls outside each store, which saves some trouble.

   "I'm going to buy some slaves of the great knights. Does anyone want to go to the slave area? We can go there together." Luke asked back.

"I go."

   "Is anyone going to buy bloodline materials?"

   "Anyone who buys witch tools?"

Everyone from the    school whispered to each other and gradually left in groups.

   "Colin, if you have no idea what to buy, do you want to go to the slave area together?" Before leaving, Luke asked aloud when he saw that Colin was still there.

   Colin smiled and shook his head: "I plan to go shopping by myself first."

   "Well..." Luke nodded, paused and lowered his voice: "On the ship, it is usually best to avoid conflicts with the wizards of the Black Pearl Caravan."

   "Of course, if it's just a junior wizard, then you don't need to be polite. But for an intermediate level, you need to measure your strength, and you need to pay attention to whether the other party has companions..."

   "As for the intermediate level and above..." He patted Colin on the shoulder, "I don't need to say more."

   Colin nodded.

   On the island, the Lapp School is the undisputed overlord. Although these apprentices are not said to be overbearing on weekdays, they are actually not far behind.

   But the ship is no longer the domain of the school, and the strength of the Black Pearl Caravan is obviously not weaker than that of the school. When you come here, you naturally need to be cautious in words and deeds.

   Of course, there is wizard Rapp, so you don’t need to be too careful, you just need to be careful. After all, if there is a conflict, as long as there is no major incident, neither the official wizard of the Black Pearl Caravan nor the Rapp wizard will obviously care.

   At times like this, if trouble comes to you, then it all depends on your own strength. This is also the reason why most of Luke and others choose to stick together.

  Although there seems to be only this long corridor on the first floor below the deck, in fact, there are many forks and leads in all directions. In the blink of an eye, Luke and others disappeared, and only Colin was left at the entrance.

   But he wasn't worried about finding his way.

  In a wooden box on the right side of the entrance, a stack of printed black-and-white maps on the ground floor are neatly stacked, and the main business contents and locations of shops in different areas are marked in detail.

   Restraining his curiosity about going around, Colin took out a map from the wooden box and looked for a shop that bought witchcraft crystals.

   He has to go and exchange the bright crystals for magic stones first!
