Chapter 1049 Half-Elf Village
Chapter 1049 Half-Elf Village
The World Ocean is called the World Ocean because it is larger than the entire Carmack continent combined.
This world is different from Chen Cheng's previous life. He only has one supercontinent, and outside the supercontinent are the World Ocean and a number of islands of varying sizes scattered around.
Chen Cheng and his group traversed the entire Nanmu Mountain Range and crossed the Moonlight Forest before finally arriving at the estuary outside the Moonlight Forest.
This is a harbor called Xingyue, or rather, a small port village.
Those living here are half-elves who were found by the elves from the outside world.
These half-elves have an appearance similar to elves, but in terms of bloodline talents, they are just ordinary people.
This also led to the fact that such beautiful half-elves were often captured by slave-hunting teams and then sold as elves to lustful nobles.
Many of the half-elves here were rescued by elves who went out to travel, and due to lifespan and other reasons, they did not live with pure-blooded elves like Sfit.
Instead, they built a small port here, which also served as a base for maritime trade between the elves and the outside world.
If they find their true love, they can also get married without the restrictions imposed on pure-blood elves like Sfit.
Looking at the rows of small sailboats, Chen Cheng frowned and asked:
"Is this the kind of sailboat you use for ocean voyages?"
In Chen Cheng's memory, these small sailboats seemed to be toys for boat enthusiasts, and did not seem to have the real ability to sail the ocean.
Melos first boarded a sailboat, and then introduced it:
"Don't underestimate this sailboat. It looks small, but it's made from the branches of dead trees from the world. Moreover, it contains the magical wisdom of our entire elven race. Even if a sea monster attacks, it won't be able to damage the hull in the slightest."
If a super storm occurs, the engraved magic array can create a vacuum zone between the storm and the waves, ensuring the ship's navigation.
And even when facing headwinds, he can use magical energy to propel himself, achieving speeds far exceeding those with the wind at his back.
Chen Cheng's eyes lit up upon hearing this. In his opinion, if it was really as Melos described, then this sailboat was the true crystallization of the Elven civilization.
Perhaps because Chen Cheng lived in a different era in his previous life, his view on certain knowledge and technology was not about how much it could destroy, but rather how much useful it could create and how much convenience it could bring to the public.
The natural magic of the elves is extremely powerful, capable of easily killing thousands of people. Yet, they can use this murderous magic to create such a groundbreaking ship.
If their technology can be popularized, the value it can create will be immeasurable.
Of course, Chen Cheng couldn't shamelessly claim that the Elven race would hand over their technology in exchange for something.
They could have followed the model Chen Cheng used in his previous life, which would have not only allowed them to earn more money but also enhanced the influence of the Elven race.
Of course, that's all for the future. What Chen Cheng needs to consider now is how to open up, or rather, how to restore, the cross-sea shipping route that existed two hundred years ago.
As long as they can find the right route and have a ship like this, Chen Cheng believes that it won't be long before he can take his group across the world's oceans to the other side of the world.
However, Melos and the others were in no hurry. This time, it wasn't just Chen Cheng and his group that were setting sail, but also the thousands of elven sages. They were going to sail north to the northern border.
Melos, on the other hand, was instructing them on their journey north.
The reason why Chen Cheng was able to gather thousands of elven sages so quickly this time was thanks to his trip to the Moonlight Forest, where he updated the system inside the World Tree.
In essence, he simply inputted his latest findings on that life equation.
In an instant, the fertility rate of the Elven race was raised to the level of thousands of years ago, which can be considered as solving the problem of the Elven race continuing their lineage.
Otherwise, to think that Chen Cheng could send so many elves north to the Northern Territory to provide construction support with just a word from him would be to greatly underestimate the arrogance of the elves.
Seeing that they were all busy with their northward journey, Chen Cheng first went to the village to find the half-elves and inquire about matters related to ocean voyages.
Although most of these half-elves have experienced hardship, they are still a group of fiery and sunny people.
When Chen Cheng came to ask them about his ocean voyage, they warmly invited him to their home and then served him the fish they had caught at sea.
Just as Chen Cheng was getting a little carried away, the village chief came over.
When Jeline saw the fish in Chen Cheng's bowl and the fish soup he was about to eat, she snatched the spoon and bowl from his hands.
Then he glared at the other half-elves and said:
"None of you have ever seen a man before? Giving him this, aren't you afraid he'll die here?"
Because Chen Cheng's whereabouts need to be kept secret, the people here do not yet know his identity. They assume that Chen Cheng is a merchant who came by land and wants to return by sea.
Although the sea route along the coast takes a year and a half to travel, taking an elven ship is much safer than traveling by land.
Furthermore, the trade with the elves was extremely profitable; even if a trip took several years, the profits were substantial.
So none of the half-elves suspected anything.
Chen Cheng was startled when he heard what Jielina said.
What do you mean by feeding him this and not worrying that he'll die here? Is the fish or the soup poisonous? But I wasn't the only one; they all ate it too.
At this moment, the half-elf from the main household swayed her slender waist and placed her hand on Chen Cheng's shoulder, saying:
"Don't be afraid, this is not poison. It's just that we sisters have taken a liking to you and want you to stay and become our husband."
Seeing her rosy complexion and fragrant breath, Chen Cheng immediately knew what the fish's medicinal properties were.
He was so startled that he immediately got up, apologized, and went out right away.
Seeing Chen Cheng leave, the sisters glared at Jelinek and said:
"No way, village chief! You can't just come here and steal our love away from us sisters just because you've taken a liking to this young man!"
Jelinek, however, scolded her with a hint of exasperation:
"What do you sluts know? Do you know the strength of the guards around this man? You think you can force yourself on him? Aren't you afraid he'll dump you after he's done with you?"
Chen Cheng, who hadn't gone far outside, heard the sounds coming from inside. He sighed. Nothing had even happened yet, and he was already being called a heartless man.
However, this time Chen Cheng also witnessed the fiery and daring nature of these half-elves.
I used to think they had all been hurt by others and would feel inferior, so I never dared to refuse them.
Fortunately, Village Chief Jerina arrived; otherwise, things would have gotten out of hand.
