Chapter 978 Leisurely Holiday
The third day when the Greed fleet arrived at Capone Port.
The spellcasters have basically completed the repair work on the three steamships. This last day is basically to test the normal operation of various parts of the ship, as well as the supply of living supplies before the final departure.
It is precisely because of this situation.
The deck can be said to be a very good environment on weekdays, but it also becomes noisy due to the flow of people walking back and forth. Standing here, you can often hear the sound of people shouting and communicating about work.
However, Ronald didn't mind the interruption at all.
He moved a deck chair alone and lay on the deck at the stern of the ship to read the book in his hand. At the same time, I felt the sea breeze blowing from the side, and my life was very comfortable for a while.
This was the last day of three days in port, and this was how Ronald planned to spend it.
Even the subsequent voyages basically maintained this state.
There is no other reason -
the process of lying down reading a book and absorbing knowledge is really enjoyable.
And I have to mention that Taylor, the caretaker of the underground library, is really good at selecting books.
The thick stack of books he handed to Ronald not only contained some precious information on magic research in the Dark Ages, but also took into account the next sailing route of the Greed fleet and included some useful information along the coast. Style diaries are also included.
For any spellcaster who is preparing for a long voyage, this can be regarded as the most beautiful gift ideally.
In this way, Ronald was alone enjoying the book in his hand.
The Age of Magic mentioned in the book is also known as the Dark Ages in today's common sense. The magicians at that time were really powerful, and they made astonishing developments in many magic researches.
Take, for example, the "Frontier Observation on the Development of Future Spells" in Ronald's hand.
The content has already touched upon the essence of magic, and even extends to the point where information interferes with the real world.
Ronald read it carefully and only read the first few chapters, and felt that he had benefited a lot.
It's just a shame.
Just like the Archmage Almonte who died hundreds of years ago.
The author of this book and his school of thought also came from the disappeared island city [Larchmont], so even if Ronald wanted to communicate with the other party's subsequent successors, it would probably only become a delusion.
It was all Ronald could do now.
You can only read the books in front of you carefully, write down the knowledge that predecessors have worked hard to study, and pass it on to one day in the future.
"..."
"Ah, rest, take a rest first."
The time came to noon.
Ronald closed the book with a sigh of relief and stood up from the recliner.
Standing on the rear deck of the steamer with a satisfied expression, he turned to look at Capone beside him.
Kostat and Il accepted their own advice and are now experiencing their lives in this city. Both guys hope to better understand and integrate into human society.
On their side, the three of them have their own practical and effective things to do.
This feels really good...
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Just as Ronald stretched and sighed, a loud explosion suddenly occurred in Capone City in the distance.
However, in the face of these noises, Ronald looked calm.
Because it was different from the previous emergencies he encountered.
The explosion when Capone appeared was not because the city was in crisis, but because the fireworks they used to celebrate were exploding in the air.
At the same time, due to the existence of magic, the fireworks technology in this world is different from the fireworks in Ronald's hometown. They have more brilliant colors and more changes, and at the same time, they can get good light and shadow effects even if they are released during the day.
Seeing this performance on the shore, Ronald couldn't help but applaud:
"It's really good."
"But it looks like they are eating too..."
Ronald happened to know why Capone was here. Time to light the fireworks.
The reason is simple. Claudia, the first princess of Greed, is visiting the administrative residence in this city.
Because the Greed fleet will leave Capone tomorrow, the city's officials invited Claudia and others to prepare banquets and performances at noon and evening respectively for entertainment and farewell. At the same time, they show their kindness to Greed.
The fireworks at this time are one of the scheduled parts of the performance.
In fact, according to the original plan, Ronald, a powerful original holder, was also officially invited by Capone.
It was just that Ronald considered that he had promised Taylor to stay on the boat and read a book last night, so he used physical discomfort as an excuse to shirk.
After some development, Ronald had a leisurely life of reading books in the sea breeze on the stern deck.
This actually suits Ronald's wishes.
He is a person who doesn't like liveliness. Compared with the tedious social interactions at banquets, this kind of quietness and reading alone is more suitable for his enjoyment.
Ten minutes passed.
Ronald stood on the deck and watched the entire fireworks show.
It wasn't until the lively atmosphere in the distance subsided that he walked to the open-air restaurant in front of the deck to prepare for his own lunch.
...
Huhuhu—
the sky is unpredictable, not to mention that this is a port city close to the sea.
Ronald set off from the rear deck and it was still good weather on the front foot. But when he sat down at the restaurant and waited for his lunch, a strong wind started blowing near the coast.
At the same time, the sky quickly turned dark.
Stretching dark clouds spread from the west toward Capone, and a heavy downpour was about to fall on this coastal city.
Faced with such changes.
The waiter on the steamer responded very quickly. Someone immediately came to Ronald and asked in a serious tone:
"Sir, do you need to change to an indoor restaurant to dine?"
Ronald smiled and waved his hand:
"It's okay. , just bring the meal here."
"I have the magic of sheltering from the wind and rain, so this kind of weather will not affect me." "
And the opportunity is rare, I would like to try it, what is it like to have lunch in a strong wind and rain? Taste."
The waiter also knew that there were powerful people on these three steam cruise ships.
So when Ronald opened his mouth, he stopped trying to dissuade him and turned back to the restaurant to continue working.
About five minutes later, a prepared seafood meal was placed in front of Ronald.
Hua La La -
soon a heavy downpour fell from the sky, and the sky poured rain like a god in anger.
And on deck.
However, an invisible force separated a fairly clean space around Ronald.
——This is the power of "The Hammer of Rain and Mist".
Although the ability to summon thunder and lightning cannot be used now, it allows Ronald to sit here peacefully and enjoy his rare lunch in the rain.
It does have some flavor.
