Ranch Story: Start Over

"woo woo woo woo!"

Accompanied by the sound of the whistle, Feng Ling and others finally arrived at the port of Xingyue Town by boat.

"Ah! It's not easy! We're finally here. It's my first time traveling far away and I'm experiencing this kind of thing. It's really a bit nerve-wracking!"

Feng Ling stretched lazily. Just when they were approaching the port of Xingyue Town, he asked Tietou to go out and play. They didn't go far away and wanted to come back when the steamship returned.

Feng Ling immediately took Xiao Kun to the Xingyue Town Government Office. The government staff had already started working at this time. They could come back to visit the Xingyue Town Seafood Market later, so they had to get down to business first.

Along the way, Feng Ling somehow felt a little strange when he saw Xiao Kun looking back from time to time, so he picked her up and asked:

"What's wrong, Xiao Kun? You keep looking back. What happened?"

"Master, I always feel like someone is following us, and there's a voice that seems to be calling me."

Feng Ling suddenly felt nervous. What was going on? This was not a good thing. If this was the case, Xiao Kun might be entangled by something. However, Feng Ling performed the soul-binding technique and looked at the soul-binding mark in his hand. He didn't see anything unusual. Could it be an illusion?

They walked and stopped along the way, and Feng Ling also observed carefully, and there was nothing unusual. Looking at the endless stream of people, everyone was normal. Even if he hid in the dark, Xiao Kun would still look back from time to time to observe. This abnormal phenomenon made Feng Ling puzzled.

Finally, when Feng Ling walked into the town government office and reported his purpose and name to the staff, just a short while later, Luo Xi appeared in front of Feng Ling, trotting.

"Feng Ling! You are finally here, that's great, I have been waiting for you here for a long time, and you finally have time, even though you are so busy."

"Sister Luo Xi, I'm just here to buy some seafood seedlings. I won't be back for long."

Feng Ling's explanation surprised me, Luo Xi, and then said:

"Didn't Thomas tell you? Xingyue Town has encountered some troubles recently. The harbor has been temporarily blocked. You can only enter but not leave."

"? What's going on? I just came in and I can't get out?"

"The ruins fog has started to spread again. In order to prevent the fog from affecting the navigation and safety of ships, we have no choice but to ask all fishermen to stop going out to sea. Currently, many people have disappeared at sea because they did not listen to the advice, so now the ban has been issued."

Luo Xi informed Feng Ling of the current situation in Xingyue Town, which made him realize how big a hole Thomas had dug for himself.

"Uncle Thomas is such a swindler. There's really no need to trick me into coming here. Sister Luo Xi, as long as I can solve it, I can definitely help you. But you also know that I'm just a second-level magic swordsman, a rookie with such rubbish combat power. You can't capture my strong men."

Feng Ling spread his hands to show that he was nothing. When Luo Xi said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said:

"It would be fine if we could just solve it with force. We have fifth-level magicians in our town, but even so, their skills are still useless in this trouble."

At this point, Luo Xi asked the staff to take Hua Xiaoling and Xiao Kun to rest, while he and Feng Ling talked in detail. After watching the two beauties leave, Luo Xi said:

"This time it's about alchemy. The sea fog is spreading from an ancient ruin in Xingyue Town. Because of its unstable appearance, the probability of ghost ships appearing has become higher, which seriously threatens the lives of the crew."

"You mean the ghost ship? I encountered one when I first arrived today."

Feng Ling quickly recounted his encounter with the ghost ship, but did not emphasize his entry into the trial space. That incident remained a mystery in his mind until now.

Luo Xi was terrified after hearing about Feng Ling's experience, but in his opinion, it was good that he could capture a small pet like the Deep Sea Spirit on this trip. More than 90% of deep sea spirits are mortal enemies of humans, so if you want to capture and cultivate a deep sea spirit, you must cultivate it when it is young. Of course, the main ability of the deep sea spirit is to breed marine fish, and the second is to offer sacrifices to resist marine plagues.

"Fortunately, you have solved the mystery of a ghost ship. There are no monsters beyond your realm. This can be considered a blessing in disguise. However, the favor I will ask you to do next is related to your strength, wisdom and knowledge."

After saying that, Luo Xi took out all the information about recent events and placed them in front of Feng Ling. Looking at the series of event records, Feng Ling was stunned after flipping through them for a while.

These records undoubtedly told Feng Ling that this trouble was definitely not something that could be considered in the ordinary way. There were many alchemists in Xingyue Town, and many of them were brought in by the ancient ruins, but these people were thrown out one by one soon after. After being thrown out, they all became decadent, especially the alchemists, whose hearts had been hit so hard that they no longer had any positive thoughts.

Luo Xi watched as these outstanding talents of Xingyue Town were hit so hard. In addition, the sea fog that was spread regularly by the ruins was now becoming more and more unstable, seriously affecting the port business of Xingyue Town. Faced with this situation, Luo Xi asked for help from all his connections. As a result, it seemed that everyone was still on the way, and Feng Ling was the first to arrive.

"Sister, aren't you afraid that my heart will collapse?"

"But? Aren't you a rancher? Alchemy is just your side job?"

Luo Xi teased Feng Ling in a joking tone, and then said seriously:

"Hahaha, I'm just teasing you. Haven't you been in the Mechanical Civilization Continent for that long? I think that although you are not a high-level alchemist, you can improve the magic street lamps and achieve such an effect with your current magical knowledge combined with the knowledge learned in this world. I think you have a high chance of completing this task."

"This is too far-fetched, Sister Luo Xi, I have no idea at all!"

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Please come in!"

"Mayor, people from Portia City have arrived."

"Feng Ling, come with me to take a look. I really hope you can help me with this. If you complete it, this is a mission for the honorable residents of Xingyue Town, and you will also get magic crystal coins as a reward."

"The reward is not the key. I am mainly considering your mission as an honorable resident of Star Moon Town."

Feng Ling's righteous expression made Luo Xi laugh secretly. To be honest, for other alchemists, the only fourth-level alchemist in Xingyue Town has already lost his spiritual heart and has lost his persistent pursuit of alchemy. He will not go far on the path of alchemy in the future, which is a huge loss for Xingyue Town.

However, Luo Xi felt that Feng Ling was the only alchemist who had the ability to make a comeback. Although he was just a beginner, Feng Ling had already slapped all doubts in the face with his strength.

This is why Luo Xi was willing to pay Thomas to ask Feng Ling to come.
