Chess Mage of Faerûn

Chapter 126 An Unorthodox Nautical Log
Surprises always come so suddenly. This unexpected gain made Zhang Yuan grin from ear to ear, causing his facial skin to wrinkle and making it look as if he really had gills from a distance.

That rapier from Gao Lu is fine, although it is indeed an excellent and practical magical weapon, but Zhang Yuan doesn't need one right now.

The key is that sword sheath. The ability to breathe underwater, and even breathe underwater without restriction, is extremely important. Normally, you might not see its use, but you're not in the Wild Buffalo Desert, but in Sword Bay, on the coastline of the Sword Sea.

I have indeed learned the third-circle arcane skill, underwater breathing, but who can ever have too many trump cards?

In a very good mood, Zhang Yuan gestured with the scabbard and found that it was not specifically designed for rapiers, but could be used to hold longswords. So he simply used it as the scabbard for his longsword.

As for the high-speed rapier? Well, we'll just have to make do with it for now, since it's just sitting in our storage pouch anyway.

Having obtained the treasure, Zhang Yuan continued his bargain-hunting business with great interest. However, since he had already found a bargain, there were no other benefits waiting for him to reap.
After searching high and low without finding anything of value, the person made an unexpected discovery in the desk drawer.

It is common knowledge that respectable people do not keep diaries, and this Captain Russell was clearly not a respectable person.

5th day of the deep winter month 1363DR
Damn the weather, damn the winter, damn the business association, and what's even more damning is that I have to go out to sea during this season.

Sigh, I hope that Port Carlin really is just like the legend says, only having summer.

19th day of the deep winter month 1363DR
Arriving at the port city of Baldur's Gate, it seemed nothing special. The Sword Bay Hub was nothing more than a convenient geographical location.

20th day of the deep winter month 1363DR
I was wrong, terribly wrong. It turns out those Baldur's Gate guys are pretty shrewd; they actually do *that* kind of work on the ship. Tsk tsk, the Low Lantern.

21th day of the deep winter month 1363DR
Visiting brothels

···Day 22···

Visiting brothels

Damn it, we're setting sail tomorrow.

···Day 23···

It snowed again today, ugh, just a couple of days ago I thought it would be warmer after leaving the north.

If we're talking about warmth, the Low Lantern is definitely the warmest.

···Day 24···

I think I heard a woman's singing? Could it be the legendary Sirens?
Damn it, it's just a hallucination. I must be missing my adorable babies too much.

······
8th day of the month of Winterclaw 1363DR
Ascatella, the legendary capital of money, truly lived up to its reputation, rivaling even the bustling Waterdeep in prosperity. Unfortunately, the streets were filled with nouveau riche, lacking any refinement or substance; all they had left was money.

I bought some local specialties; these berries taste pretty good.

···Day 9···

Visiting brothels.

···Day 10···

Strange, there's a guy named Revanak who claims to be a former trading partner of our family. However, our Deyan family does have some trade dealings with Ascatra, perhaps because my former captains knew them.

But this guy is pretty savvy. If he hadn't led the way, I wouldn't have known that Ascatella had such a wonderful place. Yeah, who would have thought that the most exciting place in the capital of money would be in the slums?

No wonder he was able to get in touch with my previous captain. That damned old pervert Daelin didn't even tell me that Ascatella was such a fun place when he went back to his family.

The Copper Crown Hotel, is it? I'll definitely visit it often.

···Day 11···

The gladiatorial matches were so exciting! These guys fought each other like caged beasts in the arena, and there were even battles with monsters. Winter wolves and trolls made an appearance. It was so spectacular, but it was a bit exhausting for the gladiators.

Visiting brothels

···Day 13···

We're getting ready to set sail. Revanak is a pretty good guy; he even gave me a bunch of gifts when he saw me off, and a few more were for that old man, Dalin.

···Day 17···

After resupplying at Weyland Harbor, the Essevier Strait lies ahead. This shabby little port has nothing but a fishy smell, as if it thinks I haven't eaten enough fish.

14th day of the Sunset Moon 1363DR
We've finally arrived! Thank you, kind lady. This voyage has lasted almost a month, but thankfully it's finally over. Otherwise, I would have run out of lemons and rum. Well done, my first mate!
Haha, the Sea of ​​Light, Port Kalin, I, Rosell, have arrived. It's fucking hot!

···Day 15···

Arrived safely in Hong Kong, that's fantastic!

It's so hot! Is this the climate in the South? Deep Water City is still in winter this month, but here it's no different from summer.

I hope the women here are as warm as the climate.

···Day 16···

Unbelievable! Although I had heard rumors before, I still couldn't believe that there really was a city in the world that was even bigger and more prosperous than Waterdeep, with all kinds of races on the streets, and even elemental giants walking around openly.

The goods have finally been delivered. Everything will be fine once the cooperating chamber of commerce sends over the goods they have prepared.

Damn it, I knew someone was up to no good. One of the gifts Revanak gave to Dalin is missing!

I have no idea what's inside, how am I supposed to find it? Should we just pretend it never happened?

···Day 17···

Visiting brothels

The activities in Port Carlin are really exciting, much more varied than in the cities I've visited before.

The women of Tiflins really do taste pretty good.

···Day 18···

Visiting brothels

···Day 19···

Visiting brothels

···Day 20···

Visiting brothels

Lying exhausted in bed, I thought, "No, I can't go on like this!"
Roselle, Roselle, haven't you always longed to give orders and conquer the seas? How can you squander your ambition on a woman's belly? This is an opportunity you finally managed to get from your family.

···Day 21···

Visiting brothels

···Day 22···

Visiting brothels

···Day 23···

With ammunition exhausted and the cargo already loaded, I, the second son of the Dejan family and the eldest brother of Russell, am about to set sail, laden with gold, to be greeted by glory and respect.

Perhaps there will also be a beautiful woman's kiss.

···Day 24···

Strange, the lost gift has actually returned?
This thing was neatly placed in one of my cabinets, without even being unpacked. Did I put it there myself and then forget about it?

Oh, my damn brain! I guess I'll have to be more careful next time, lest I shoot my brain dry too.

······
15th day of the Stormy Month 1363DR
Upon arriving in Ascatra again, Revanak found me once more. How did he know my ship had arrived?

The Copper Crown Hotel is a really nice place.

···Day 18···

As we were about to set sail, Revanak specifically reminded me to bring those gifts to Dallin when he saw me off. How nagging! Am I the kind of unreliable person?

···Day 21···

Thank you Yin Simeng for your monthly pass!
