Being inford about his small boat being ready at the Strandland Port, Lei Zhen was overjoyed.
He could now officially travel in the sea and explore other areas that Magnolia had to offer.
Not to ntion, he could gather so more exciting content to post on their guild channel on Pri Tv.
"Wonderful, show the way now, Howard." Lei Zhen commanded.
"Understood, Chancellor." Howard bowed his head once again and replied respectfully.
Soti later, the two of them boarded a carriage as they made their way toward Strandland Port.
Strandland Port was the largest port in Yors Castle, with thousands of imports and exports occurring each day.
There were many sailors holding cargo left and right. In addition to that, there are nurous ships as humongous as the cruise ships you see in the real world.
Lei Zhen glanced around the port for a good second, seemingly trying to spot his small boat among all these giant ships.
"So… Howard, where is my small boat located? It can't be squashed by these gigantic ships, right?" Lei Zhen turned to him and asked.
He had been very unlucky recently, so he was kind of afraid of his small boat being destroyed without actually getting to step foot in it.
And when he saw Howard acting strange in response to his words, Lei Zhen started to tremble slightly.
'It can't be that my small boat is really shattered into pieces, right?' He wondered silently, feeling that he might have jinxed himself.
A few seconds later, Howard held a perplexed look.
"Um, Chancellor, your small boat is there," Howard said and pointed at the supposedly small boat.
Lei Zhen's eyes followed the trail of where he pointed and he was left aghast when he saw what the small boat was.
"How in the hell is this a small boat?" Lei Zhen cried aloud, feeling like they have no concept of size.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom The so-called small boat was in fact a huge ship, sothing that he had ignored from the start because it should not be considered small in his mind.
"It's indeed a small boat for soone as influential as you, Chancellor." Howard respectively explained.
And he continued, "If it wasn't because the Chancellor wished to travel to sea in a hurry, then we would have searched for a bigger ship compared to this."
"..."
Speechless, Lei Zhen was completely speechless by the explanation of Howard.
Howard's explanation was so calm and righteous, almost as if it was logical that a big ship of this sheer size was considered small.
"Now how am I supposed to operate on such a big ship, Howard?" Lei Zhen calmly asked.
Originally, he thought it would be the old-school boat type where he would simply have a small motor to sail around the sea.
Never did he expect it to be such a size and Lei Zhen began to wonder about the money he needed to spend for the crewman and captain.
Just when Lei Zhen was getting ahead of himself, Howard stepped forward and patted his chest.
"Chancellor, I would be the one driving for you, so you can rest assured regarding the operation of the ship," Howard said sincerely.
"Hmm, you know how to sail the ship?"
"Indeed, I have been trained in the naval army in the past and have experience in driving one."
"Then what about your post as the imperial guard if you were to assist instead?" Lei Zhen raised an eyebrow, seemingly confused by the arrangent.
"Princess Kate has given permission and I'm to guard the Chancellor during his journey," Howard said expressionlessly.
"..."
Without needing any further information, Lei Zhen was sure that Kate must have secretly ordered Howard to routinely send ssages back to her.
'No wonder why the ship is ready already. Kate has made backup plans behind my back.' Lei Zhen thought to himself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
On one hand, he was impressed by her ticulous plan, but on the other hand, he felt like she was leaning closer and closer to the stalking type.
"Does the Chancellor not wish for to be the captain?" Howard suddenly asked.
Lei Zhen shook his head in response. "No, it's fine if you have been permitted already. It'll save so ti from trying to find so other trustable captain to sail the ship anyway."
"Then when do you suppose we start traveling in the sea?"
"Probably around 2 or 3 days from now. I still have so leftover matters to do, and during this ti, you should start stocking up on food and other necessities. Also, hire so other crewn to work on the ship. A big ship like this, just one captain isn't enough."
"Understood, Chancellor. I'll get that done within a day or so."
And with that said, Howard left the Strandland Port once Lei Zhen dismissed him so that he could get to work faster.
As for Lei Zhen, he decided to remain in the Standland Port for a while, mainly to inspect the import and export of the cargo.
At the sa ti, he could also see the flow of rchandise being transported and the operation of sailors here in Yors Castle.
"I've truly underestimated Yors Castle in the past. If it wasn't because of the rebellion of the two princes, then it's actually difficult to even try an invasion against Yors Castle." Lei Zhen muttered.
Based on this port alone, although most of the ship traveling out and in is transportation type for rchandise. There was actually a heavy systematic type of naval patroller at the dock, inspecting every inch and cranny.
Not a single ship could pass through the border without showing a permit approved by the Royal Family.
While he was walking around, admiring the port and its lively atmosphere, a commotion occurred that caught multiple attention.
Seeing multiple people crowding in an area and with his natural curiosity, Lei Zhen obviously wasn't going to miss the fun either.
'Let's see what's going on there.'
