Chapter 82 The City of Water

Sure enough, as the middle-aged man said, they continued sailing along the track of the sea train for an hour and saw a beautiful city - the City of Seven Waters.

The shape of the city in the Capital of Seven Waters is conical, with a towering wall and gate built at the bottom. The most eye-catching thing is that at the top, there is a huge fountain, with water comparable to that of a big river pouring out continuously.

Under the fountain, there are several waterways that run through the entire city. The water in the fountain spreads along the waterways throughout the city, and eventually flows into the sea, repeating the cycle.

Rows of houses sandwiched between the waterways fill up the entire slope. There is also a dense row of houses at both ends of the city wall at the bottom of the city, which looks extremely prosperous.

Originally, the port city of Alabasta, Rapeseed Flower, was the most prosperous city they had ever seen, but compared with the City of Seven Waters, it was nothing.

Noel admired the beauty of the Seven Waters City in his heart and recorded it with his camera.

"There is such a big fountain at the top of the city. No wonder it is called the City of Water."

Seeing this scene, Wuming understood the meaning of the Water City and praised:

“What a beautiful and prosperous city!”

Sani nodded in agreement, held her chin in her hands and said in anticipation: "I can finally see Mr. Tom!"

Their ship moved on, and Sani temporarily returned to her house.

But when they approached the Capital of Seven Waters, they encountered a problem - they only had towering city walls and closed gates in front of them, but they didn't know where the port was.

At this time, many middle-aged and elderly people were fishing leisurely on the streets of the outer towns of the Water City. Noel asked them:

"Old people, where is the port where the ship stops here?"

"Are you pirates?"

One of the old men asked after taking a look at their boat.

"We are pirate hunters. Why do you think we are pirates?"

Being recognized as a pirate twice in a row, Noel was also a little confused. There was no pirate flag on their ship.

The old man was also a little puzzled and said:

"Of course you can tell. Your ship is obviously a pirate ship. Am I mistaken?"

"Can this be seen?"

Noel and Wuming couldn't help but be surprised. It was indeed the world's shipyard, and a random old man on the street knew so much about ships.

Noel smiled and explained:

"It was indeed a pirate ship originally. It became our ship only after we captured its original owner."

"So that's it, I just said I couldn't be wrong, haha!"

The old man suddenly understood and then smiled proudly.

"Since you're not a pirate, you can just go in through the water gate passage in the front."

Wuming followed the old man's instructions to steer the steering wheel, and Noel asked again:

"Thanks for the directions. By the way, where would the pirates stop?"

"For pirates, they usually stop on the back street."

The old man pointed in another direction.

"OK, thanks."

After writing down the back street and the direction mentioned by the old man, the two said goodbye to the old man and drove in the direction he indicated for a while, and soon arrived at the main entrance.

The port of the Seven Waters Capital is not on the edge of the city, but inside the city. It needs to be entered through the so-called [Watergate Elevator].

There is a gap in the middle of the city wall that Noel and the others saw. The so-called Watergate Elevator uses the height difference of the water level inside and outside the city to control the rise and fall of the water level between the city walls. It looks like taking an elevator.

The light inside the Watergate elevator was dim, but when the inner door opened, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Rows of merchant ships lined up side by side, and various goods were transported in and out of the port. The scene of a bustling port unfolded in front of them.

The two parked the boat in a remote corner. Sani quietly came to the deck, lying on the edge of the fence and looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going in front of her, with curiosity and a little fear in her eyes.

"Is this a human city? It's so prosperous. I've never seen so many people!"

"Sani, we are going to find Tom now. Do you want to come with us?"

Noel asked Sani.

There are waterways everywhere in the Water City. Sani can follow them in the water, and it is even easier to move around in this city than them.

Of course Sani was willing, but she hesitated and said:

"But there are so many people on the street now. It would be very troublesome if we were discovered."

Originally, she planned to wait until it got dark before starting to move.

"Of course that is safer, but you don't need to be so cautious. The residents of the Seven Waters City are very friendly towards the mermaids and fishmen."

Noel smiled and explained:

"As far as I know, Mr. Tom owns a shipbuilding company called Tom's Studio, and the company secretary is a mermaid like you."

Although Sani didn't understand the studio or company, she still accurately grasped the key points.

Her eyes sparkled and she said: "Is there also a mermaid tribe here?"

Noel smiled and nodded, and Sani suddenly became happy and a little relieved, and decided to go with them to see Mr. Tom.

When no one was paying attention, Sani jumped into the water, and the two got off the boat and walked along the shore, making sure that Sani could see them.

The Water City is a city built on water. Waterways extend in all directions, but land routes are also inconvenient. Therefore, local residents usually take an animal called Blue when traveling.

Blues are horse-like and can be said to be literal seahorses. They are so strong that they can even help move people, usually by carrying a small boat on their backs for people to ride on.

There is a shop that rents a blue on the street. A two-seat blue only costs one thousand beli, which is just right for Noel and Wuming.

Feeling something under the water, Blue buried his head in the water and saw Sani.

"I'm a friend of the two people on your back... don't let anyone else know I'm in the water, okay?"

Sani and Blue communicated, and Blue nodded obediently.

Sani smiled and rubbed the other person's head, and Blue showed a comfortable expression.

Sitting on Blue, the three began to wander around the city, asking local residents about Tom's location.

"As for Boss Tom, he should still be building Sea Train Line [-] at this time. He may not come back until the evening, or he may not come back at all."

All the local residents knew about Tom, and they chatted eloquently in the face of Noel's questions and talked about Tom's deeds.

Sani, who was underwater, listened with great interest.

Fishman Tom is not only the pride of fishmen and mermaids, but also the pride of the residents of the Seven Waters.

"If you really want to meet Boss Tom, you can go to Tom's studio and wait for him. If you're lucky, you should be able to meet him."

"OK, thanks."

They drove towards the location indicated by passers-by, and soon arrived at the door of Tom's studio.

There was a middle-aged woman in the studio. She had the same long blond wavy hair as Sani and was slender. She was drinking from a wine bottle in her hand. She looked tipsy, but she didn't seem drunk.

Seeing Noel and Wuming, the middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows and asked:

"What's the matter with you?"

Although there was a huge difference between the person in front of him and her appearance later, Noel still recognized her at a glance——

The mermaid tribe from Fishman Island, Granny Koralo
