An infinite journey that begins at Hogwarts

"Lord City Lord, with this Dawn Goddess, we will be able to walk on flat ground even in the sea of ​​storms." A big businessman complimented next to Cedric.

Of course, this was not a complete compliment. He really thought so. He didn't feel any shaking on this big ship. The steel hull covered with this magical aura made him full of confidence in this ocean voyage.

"It's not as easy as walking on flat ground." Cedric smiled, "This ocean voyage may be a little bumpy. Those who are seasick can take some seasickness medicine first, or use physical therapy."

The so-called physical therapy method is to ask melee professionals to help knock you out, so that you will naturally not get seasick.

"how could be"

"The City Lord really knows how to joke."

"This Dawn Goddess is capable of conquering storms and seas."

The surrounding businessmen erected high flags one by one in a peaceful atmosphere.

Only Dolan looked solemn. As the intermediary between the Goddess of Fortune and Cedric, he knew much more than the average person.

Cedric ignored everyone who was already in a state of excitement. He called Dolan aside and said, "You have already informed Caranto."

Such a fleet of hundreds of magic ships is enough to handle a complete war. If the elves are not notified, they probably will not be allowed to enter their city.

"Yes, we have officially issued a note. At the same time, my Lord's Grand Temple has also made a statement like the Elven Temple, and they fully welcome our trade, but such a huge fleet"

Cedric waved his hand, "Don't worry, elves are a race that cares about face. Even if they find something wrong, they will hold their noses and let us enter the city."

"We will reach Calanto in about 15 hours."

"So fast" Even Dolan couldn't help but be a little surprised. On the smooth Dawn Goddess, he couldn't feel the speed at all.

But comparing it to land commercial transportation, he suddenly had a clear understanding.

Because it takes about two months to get from Dawn City to Calanto, just like using land transport. If there are any problems in the middle, this time is likely to double.

The sudden leap from the era of horse-drawn carriages to the era of mechanical ascension will of course create this sense of confusion, but Dolan is not completely unable to accept it. After all, there are faster teleportation spells in this era, but the price of teleportation spells is high, and ordinary freight transportation It's simply unbearable.

"It's not fast." Cedric shook his head slightly. "We are going along the way. We don't have to consider the terrain, and we don't have to worry about the attacks of magical beings."

In this era, when caravans hired mercenaries, in addition to dealing with bandits, the most important thing was to deal with a large number of wild beasts and even magical creatures in the wild.

Among them, the colorless dragon likes to rob caravans the most, so the goddess of wealth and the mother of dragons are mortal enemies.

But this caravan with the Dawn Goddess as its core would choose to take a detour even if the legendary dragon saw it.

And this is not the true speed of the Dawn Goddess, but suppressed by the rules of the main material world, this is basically the limit.

Dolan thought about it in his mind, and the fat all over his body couldn't help but tremble, because the commercial value brought by this speed is immeasurable, and with the cargo capacity of the Dawn Goddess

"The price is also unacceptable to you." Cedric certainly knew what Dolan was thinking, and he chuckled.

The elemental fission furnace of the Dawn Goddess uses lord-level elemental cores. Of course, although this is expensive, it is not a one-time use after all, so businessmen like Dolan can still afford it with gritted teeth.

But the most expensive thing is the casters needed to operate such a large fleet.

This time it was because Cedric was on the ship, so Dolan and others did not feel the extra expenditure at all, but Cedric could not be on the ship every time, so they would have to hire corresponding mages and mechanics in the future.

The number of mages and mechanics required to operate this fleet is enough to cope with any war in the Flanaess region.

This is enough to explain its high price.

After Cedric's prompting, Dolan immediately thought of this most critical point. His voice stammered, "Then Sir"

His title of Saint of Ocean Trade seemed to be slipping away from him.

"Don't worry." Cedric said confidently, "Technology will further develop with demand. I will set up a research institute specifically in this area in the future. If you businessmen want more convenient technology, you can naturally invest in it. "

Capital must be restrained. Cedric, who has historical experience, certainly knows where to direct capital. Otherwise, even if he gets rich in the short term, it will only cause inflation in Dawn City and make the people at the bottom miserable.

In his expectation, the wealth earned by merchants for Dawn City would circulate among all classes in Dawn City, making Dawn City truly wealthy.

Of course, the most realistic thing now is to let commerce feed back technology and form a virtuous cycle.

"But technological development cannot be completed in a day or two." Dolan couldn't help but say.

The most important thing about this great technological development is the feedback from the world that foreign reincarnators like Cedric and Laetia used their knowledge and strength to forcefully pull out. Things will never be this good again.

"Of course, that's why I need your investment." Cedric nodded, "Although it is impossible to form such a fleet, for river transportation, you can hire one or two magic ships, plus five-masted merchant ships for close-range transportation. Far from being a commercial voyage, this kind of ocean voyage now actually has more meaning at the level of me and Wojin, and you are just the beneficiaries."

In addition to dealing with extreme weather, water trade is also a major difficulty in dealing with magical life in the water, and it is much more difficult to deal with than on land. After all, if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, so unless there is a regular army to eliminate magic, biological rivers, otherwise water navigation would not be possible at all.

But the cost is also huge, so the most important commercial transportation in the entire Flanaess region is land commercial transportation.

Although it is not possible to form a huge maritime shipping fleet like the Dawn Goddess fleet every time, with the help of magic ships, water shipping at least becomes a possibility.

Dolan quickly calculated the risks and benefits, and finally had to admit that the benefits were enough for the businessmen to take the risk.

Of course, this is what Cedric hopes to see. After all, he cannot be a nanny for these people forever, and there are risks, so businessmen will be willing to hire more mercenaries, which will also promote the development of mercenary unions.

Just when Dolan wanted to continue asking, a huge roar suddenly came from ahead, like thunder exploding on the water.

Cedric said in a deep voice, "Don't disturb me next time. These underwater monsters are really annoying."

In order to ensure smooth sailing in the future, Cedric must of course clean up the Wedley River, a primitive river full of magical creatures. At least in the short term, he must let them remember the deterrent power of magic ships, otherwise future shipping will not be possible. It's good to start a war.

Dolan nodded and stood behind Cedric. Cedric immediately focused all his attention on commanding the magic ship.
