I'm being watched by a sword

Chapter 267 I Have a Reason to Go
Lu Shan sat on the boat, blowing the sea breeze, looking at the skyscrapers standing in the middle of the water, feeling a little shocked.

Is this the moon ship?
Seeing Lu Shan's expression, the boatman knew that it was his first time to come to the moon boat, so he said: "Guest officer, I think you look very strange, it is your first time to come to the moon boat."

Lu Shan looked at the yellow-faced boatman and said with a smile, "Yes, this is my first time here. Why are all the buildings here built in the water?"

The boatman laughed and said: "Guest officer, you don't know that our moon boat is no different from ordinary cities, even other seaside cities don't have such a grand sight as a moon boat. I don't know if you have heard a saying, 'After autumn Rising water, spring comes and water goes'?"

Lu Shan shook his head, he had never heard of this, but he could probably understand the meaning.

The boatman explained: "The moon ship is close to the sea area. In autumn, there will be a lot of sea water flooding in the sea area, and every time it will flood most of the city. This situation will continue until the next spring, when the sea water will recede. So It is said that the water rises in autumn, and the water goes away in spring'!"

Lu Shan nodded. He really didn't know this happened, but it was roughly as he thought.

The customers that the boatman met in the past were all from the city, or he knew something about the moon boat, so he seldom talked so much. Today, when he met a customer who was so unfamiliar with the moon boat, his words were suddenly opened. : "The moon ship is divided into three major areas, and the flooded area here is the DC area."

Pointing to the northwest direction, the boatman said with a smile: "The northwest city is the most prosperous over there. The main city is there. If you need to handle any business or find some powerful residences, you can go there."

Lu Shan smiled, didn't answer, and touched Xiaotian's little tiger head lying on his shoulder.

The boatman pointed to the southwest direction again, and continued, "Over there is the Magic Hall, one of the gathering places for distinguished magicians."

Looking at the boatman's pointing, Lu Shan smiled and thought, "I thought it was called Southwest City, but I didn't expect a magic hall to appear suddenly?"

As he said that, the boatman's voice became much softer: "Guest officer, don't go there casually. If you disturb the magician, you will suffer a lot."

Lu Shan nodded, thinking of his sister Longfly, and thought: "It's been a long time since I heard from Sister Longfly. I wonder if she's there too?"

Seeing that the guest officer didn't speak, he seemed frightened. The boatman smiled and said, "Guest officer, you don't have to be too scared. As long as you don't provoke them, they are still very gentlemen. After all, they are honorable, and they won't talk to us if they have nothing to do." What do these ordinary people have to do with it?"

Lu Shan knew that the boatman had misunderstood, but he didn't intend to explain. He asked, "Brother Chuan, I see on the map that this place is called 'Undersea Shipwreck', not the DC area!"

"Haha, that was a gimmick before. The sunken ship is not in the shallow water area at all, but in the deep water area, which is no longer within the scope of the DC area."

Looking at the endless sea water and the occasional tall buildings standing in the middle of the water, Lu Shan smiled and said, "So that's the case. If you don't tell me, I really don't know!"

The boatman laughed loudly and continued to explain: "Five or 60 years ago, the Mana Metro was opened, connecting most cities in the world, and the internal flow between the human races increased. Many people came here for adventure or play."

Lu Shan was taken aback.

This deviates from his understanding of the world, and doubts abound: "Isn't the wilderness very dangerous? When will the human race be free enough to wander around and explore?"

The boatman rowed his oars a few times, and continued: "For the development of urban tourism, the DC area at that time was named 'Undersea Wreck', but the real 'Undersea Wreck' is actually not here, you need to go through the shallow water area, Just get to deep water."

Lu Shan didn't care about the shallow water area or the deep water area, but asked puzzledly: "Isn't the wilderness very dangerous? Why are there so many people here to explore or play?"

The boatman pointed to the southwest, and said, "The Magic Palace is over there. As long as the alien race on land is not a fool, they will not come to the moon boat to make trouble, unless he is tired of living crookedly."

Lu Shan's doubts have not been completely released. He always feels that the moon ship is not simple, at least not as simple as he sees in front of him.

The boatman pointed to the barren water again, and said: "As for the sea area, their leaders have signed an agreement with the Monster Management Bureau, and there will be no aliens from the sea area looking for trouble."

Lu Shan nodded, still thinking about what happened just now.

Looking at Lu Shan in a daze, the boatman thought he was scared, and said with a smile: "So, the moon boat is actually very safe, and it is very suitable for the human race to settle down."

Immediately he sighed, and said: "Oh, but the annual living expenses are too high, many people can only settle for the next best thing and move to the next city, where it is quite safe."

After thinking about it, Lu Shan came back to his senses and asked, "Brother Chuan, can you go to the deep water area?"

The boatman was startled, and shook his head frantically, "Guest officer, are you kidding me? With our level of cultivation, you still want to go to the deep water area. Isn't that courting death?"

Lu Shan felt a little regretful.

The boatman persuaded: "Guest officer, I advise you not to go there. Do you know that some time ago, I didn't know if the guy on the sea side was crazy, and suddenly attacked the shallow water area by the high tide of the sea. But it's okay, At that time, there were a few people from the Sword Academy sitting here, beat those sea monsters to the ground, and fled directly back to the deep water area."

Lu Shan stood up, looked at the DC area submerged by sea water, and said firmly, "I have a reason to go."

The boatman hesitated for a moment and said, "If you want to see the real shipwreck on the seabed, then go to the temporary pier ahead and take the Sword Immortal. It's Captain You's commercial ship, and it's quite safe."

Taking a big mouthful of the salty sea breeze, Lu Shan asked, "Captain You? Is it your city lord?"

The boatman gave a slight snort, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you actually know our city owner. That's right! We all call him Captain You, so please be kind."

The reason why Lu Shan knew the city lord.

But it was because some time ago, he received a lot of news about Su Yi and others.

Lu Shan muttered to himself: "The half-demon kappa! This is the area, Lan Shaoxin is here, and he can even fight the half-demon kappa evenly."

Thinking of Lan Shaoxin, Lu Shan felt a little uncomfortable.

Not only because of the year-long task, but also——Lu Shan knew that Lan Shaoxin and Su Yi were children, and also knew that Lan Shaoxin was pursuing his beloved Su Yi girl.

The boatman told a lot of famous anecdotes about the moon boat, most of which were rumors and gossips that Lu Shan had never heard of.

After a while, we arrived at the temporary pier that the boatman mentioned.

After handing the boatman a vault card with a denomination of "1000", Lu Shan jumped onto the temporary pier.

The boatman thanked him repeatedly, picked up two more customers who wanted to go back to the city, and left by paddling.

There are already many people on the temporary pier.

Seeing someone coming up, everyone was not too surprised. They just took a look and stopped paying attention. They started chatting again, playing cards, and couples who occasionally quarreled continued to quarrel.

Some of these people were waiting for the big boat to go to the deep water area, and some were waiting for the small boat to return to the city.

Lu Shan randomly found a seat and sat down.

Quietly looking at the rippling sea water, touching the yellow paper in his pocket, he secretly made up his mind - he must find the Heavenly Mandate Stone that can recast his talent.
