Chapter 32 Nile Port
“It really is a port of Eastern civilization.”
Lonis let out a sigh of admiration. Beside the golden sandy beach was a quiet and ancient pedestrian street built of wooden planks.
There were handmade dessert shops, with various kinds of Daifuku displayed on the shelves, looking delicious.
There were bamboo product shops run by old craftsmen, selling all sorts of bamboo baskets, bamboo hats, and even small animals woven from bamboo.
There were shops with large pottery jars neatly arranged, and even if one didn’t know what was stored inside, smelling the aroma of alcohol in the air would indicate that this was a hotel.
It could be seen that although the world did not have the scale of goods brought by industrialization, all sorts of handmade products and small commodities had become vibrant.
“Amazing…”
“Am-amazing? I think compared to Academy Island, our place is like the countryside… Not to mention a maid cafe here, you can hardly find a coffee machine?”
“No, but in terms of style, it’s really beautiful. And the streets are very clean, without much dust.”
…
…
The girls walked along the street with Zhisheng Luo.
Their purpose was to go to the Customs Office of Nile Port to obtain a permit to sail to the Vast Sea.
This was not a symbolic document, but a necessary procedure… Because the Vast Sea was unpredictable and filled with various inexplicable monsters, there had always been people patrolling and guarding the route leading to the Vast Sea.
Any ship without proper documentation would be detained by them.
And their name was called the Dragon Roar Fleet.
Speaking of this fleet, they had a significant background. A thousand years ago, they were part of the strongest fleet that protected humanity—Passothua.
It was a unit composed of human elites, consisting of 100 ancient ships. Legend has it that they once helped the Sun Loli Goddess defend against monsters from another world in critical battles.
They had made brilliant contributions, but they were also heavily damaged and could no longer maintain their complete formation.
After several changes and divisions, the one that finally guarded the entrance to the Vast Sea was called the Dragon Roar Fleet.
…
“So… a thousand years ago, my ancestors and the Dragon Roar Fleet should have been comrades. In that case, with my identity as Princess Cécile, I should be able to get the permit, right?”
The silver-haired princess tilted her head, wanting to volunteer.
But what about Zhisheng Luo?
She shook her head and said, “No, let me do it. Because Princess Cécile’s wish is to be an ordinary girl recently?”
“Huh…?”
“I actually know some people in the Customs Office and the Dragon Roar Fleet. Let me handle the negotiations here.”
“Okay, Miss Zhisheng, go for it.”
The Customs Office of Nile Port was a traditional building that resembled an ancient government office.
However, instead of stone lion statues on both sides, there were a pair of very cute loli statues.
“Wh-what is this… Why are there loli statues standing on both sides?”
“Um, Junior Lonis, those are statues of the Sun Loli Goddess.”
“Ah?”
“But where we come from, we don’t call her the Sun Loli Goddess, but the Myriad Realm Loli King…”
“Myriad Realm Loli King?”
“Yes, it’s similar to the King of Hell, right? The place ruled by the Loli King is a netherworld called the Myriad Realm, and that seems to be a realm between the living and the dead…”
“Wuwuwu!”
Lonis couldn’t quite understand.
In fact, whenever the name of the Sun Loli Goddess was mentioned, Lonis felt a bit scared… because her self-hypnosis was too thorough at the time.
So much so that Lonis now wanted to kneel on the ground with her hands and feet, scattering flowers like a little fox running in the Customs Office.
“What is the Myriad Realm, is it a folk legend?”
As Lonis asked, Elusia came forward at that moment.
Her pair of crimson eyes stared at Lonis sharply, making Lonis feel a bit uneasy.
“M-Miss Elusia, what’s wrong?”
“Hmph, you little idiot. I didn’t expect you to be so stupid.”
“Wha—?!”
“If I were my normal self, I would have teased you, but since I’ve become a gentle girl now, I’ll directly tell you the answer you want to know?”
“Answer.”
“Yes, the Myriad Realm is also known as the Myriad Net. In fact, it refers to the virtual world of the previous epoch.”
“Virtual world?!”
“Yes, so… in fact, the largest Myriad Realm that currently exists is our starting point, the Land of Eternity?”
——————–
“Guests, please this way… Are you here to handle entry and exit procedures?”
In the hall of the Customs Office, a young girl was warmly receiving guests.
She had a bright smile, and her large eyes seemed to speak, as if they were watching you from any angle.
However, at this moment, the girl was stunned when she saw the person in front of her.
“You… Officer Patrol, you’re back.”
“Ah, Siyi. Why are you here!”
Noticing the girl, Zhisheng Luo looked surprised and put her hands behind her back, as if instinctively wanting to escape.
“Officer Patrol, we’ve been looking for you for a long time. Princess…”
“Don’t call me Officer Patrol, and don’t mention the Princess. I’m not her subordinate anymore. My current identity is the honorary Sword and Shield Guard of the Kingdom Ming, Masked Luo.”
Zhisheng Luo shook her head, seemingly trying to distance herself from that Princess.
But…
The girl named Siyi’s eyes widened, and she said dazedly, “Officer Patrol… D-did you betray the country?”
“Huh?”
“I didn’t believe it at first, and I thought the Princess was looking for you so urgently for other reasons, but I didn’t expect… Officer Patrol, you should escape first. I won’t tell the Princess that I saw you!”
“What treason are you talking about? My mission is complete, so I’m free and no longer under jurisdiction.”
“Ah?”
“I didn’t go to steal the Rainbow Abyss… No, this is not the time to talk about this! Anyway, Siyi, I need to go through the entry procedures for the Vast Sea, is Old Liu still here?”
“Old Liu is still here, but… the Vast Sea? Officer Patrol, why are you going there…”
“Secret, can’t say now!”
“Oh…”
“In short, give me a reservation slip. And, don’t tell Princess Xing that I’ve been here, understand?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell the Princess.”
Siyi nodded and handed a slip to Zhisheng Luo.
