Chapter 164 Boarding the Ship
It was not far from the hotel to the pier. When the sea appeared in their sight, two giant ships also appeared in their sight.
As far as the eye can see, each giant ship has at least five decks. The entire ship exudes a metallic luster, and there are obvious gun muzzles for soul-guided weapons installed on it.
The ocean is not a peaceful place. According to the Federation's calculations, the number of soul beasts in the ocean is at least fifty times that of land, but that was in the past.
Since the soul beasts on land were on the verge of extinction, humans have reached out to the sea, so that the number of sea soul beasts has dropped sharply, but even so, sea soul beasts are still the most numerous soul beasts currently existing on Douluo Continent. beast.
Only a giant ship with extremely powerful attack and defense can sail long distances on the sea. Of course, the value of each giant ship is astronomical.
Huan Ling heard from others that the Xingluo Continent's envoys came here with the intention of showing off their military power. Of course, in terms of technological development, it would still take a long time for them to catch up with the Federation.
Everyone got off the bus and boarded the ship one after another. The two huge ships were not carrying the delegations from Xingluo Continent and Douluo Continent respectively, but were mixed from both sides. Each huge ship carried people from both sides at the same time, and the order had been arranged.
It is said that this is for communication.
As students of Shrek Academy, they would not be noticed much in such a large delegation until they were arranged to board the ship.
"Hello, Ms. Cai." Federal Secretary-General Pan Wen personally came to Ms. Cai and greeted her respectfully.
Pan Wen is a middle-aged man of medium build. He looks to be in his fifties. He is somewhat bald and has an ordinary appearance. There is nothing special about him. But this man is hailed as a rising star in federal politics, and it is said that he may compete to be the next Speaker.
"Hello, Secretary General Pan." Mr. Cai greeted him indifferently. Shrek Academy has never been too close to the Federation.
Pan Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Cai, this is the case. In order to facilitate communication between the two sides, this time we will arrange for your college to be on the Xingluo ocean liner on the Xingluo Continent."
"Boarding the ship with you are members of the Xingluo Royal Academy of the Xingluo Empire of the Xingluo Continent. They have come to the continent for exchanges before, and they also hope to exchange ideas with you during this long voyage to the Xingluo Continent."
Mr. Cai's next words immediately perked up Huanling and the others.
"Oh? It's the academy that wanted to come to our academy for exchange this time, but was rejected by us!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them became a little quiet.
Pan Wen is a politician indeed. He reacted quickly, laughed, and said, "Yes! Your college didn't arrange it this time because the time was not suitable. Isn't it a good opportunity for us to communicate on the ship?"
"Yeah." Fortunately, Mr. Cai didn't say anything more, just nodded.
Pan Wen said: "Well, Mr. Cai, please come this way. I will take you and the top students of Shrek Academy there."
The Federal Secretary-General personally led the way, which was a great honor.
To be honest, Pan Wen was also helpless in his heart. He knew very well what position Shrek Academy held on the mainland.
The academy has always been a long-standing problem for the Federation. The two things that successive Federal Speakers most hope to accomplish are to take control of Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda respectively. Of course, this is just wishful thinking.
The status of these two places on the continent is extremely important, and more importantly, they both concentrate the strongest military forces on the continent.
The Spirit Pagoda is easier to deal with, and driven by certain interests, the cooperation can be relatively smooth.
But Shrek Academy is like the strongest reef in the sea. No matter how hard the wind and rain blow, I will remain unmoved. But Shrek Academy has the most powerful people in the continent, so the Federation can only turn a blind eye.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Shrek Academy has no ambitions. The academy has never expressed any intention to expand, and the students are like soldiers who come and go in a fixed camp, with no intention of hoarding power. This is why the Federation reluctantly recognized their relative autonomy.
Under the personal leadership of Pan Wen, the Shrek Academy group boarded the ship one after another. There was a special escalator for boarding, which was driven by soul guide technology. It was smooth but a bit long.
Huan Ling and the others saw at a glance that not far in front of them, there was also a group of neatly dressed people in the process of boarding the ship.
They were all wearing white school uniforms, and their average age was about seventeen or eighteen. When they saw the Shrek Academy students in green school uniforms, they pointed and talked about something from time to time.
“Those are students from Xingluo Royal Academy, right?” Xie Xie whispered.
Tang Wulin said: "It must be them."
"Be ready to take action in a moment." Huan Ling used mental detection sharing on them, and they could hear everything those people from Xingluo Royal Academy said.
"Is this a student from Shrek Academy? He looks young, so he should be easy to bully."
"They are all good-looking and decent, but I don't know if Shrek Academy's arrogance is proportional to their talent."
“Why bother with so much? Since they have refused our exchange and learning, we will find a way to deal with them later. If we can’t beat the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy, I don’t believe these little brats can be our opponents.”
The faces of the people around him were a little strange. Was this an unexpected disaster for them? However, since they came here on behalf of Shrek Academy, it was no problem for them to be blamed for the academy's affairs.
Xie Xie fiddled with his slender fingers, "No matter where they are from, if they dare to explode, we will kill them."
Tang Wulin glanced at him and said, "I don't believe it. If you have the ability, go and do it yourself. I don't believe you can defeat them."
"Are you looking for trouble?" Xie Xie widened his eyes, feeling that Tang Wulin was targeting him.
Huan Ling said in a playful tone: "We will just throw them into the sea and let the teachers from Xingluo Royal Academy salvage them."
Ye Xinglan glanced at them and said, "These guys must be bored to death."
In fact, it was true. Not only Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, but even Ye Xinglan, Xu Xiaoyan and others felt bored and uncomfortable.
Being busy will become a lifestyle habit.
They were used to busy studying and practicing in the academy on weekdays. After coming out this time, they had nothing to do every day and could only practice on their own, which was really a bit boring.
Their battle armor also has phantoms to help with forging, designing, and manufacturing. It can be said that apart from practicing, there is basically nothing else to do.
When I boarded the huge ship and looked back at the shore, everything seemed so small.
