Chapter 140: Pearl Island [Third Update!] 】
Bang Bang Bang!
Silently, all the fixed cables were cut.
The huge anchor was also slowly pulled up.
At the urging of the second mate, the remaining sailors were eager to use one person as two people, and raised the sails.
The entire ship is now completely under Marven's control.
But it's not safe right now. They are still on the dock of the Black Dock Port, such an illegal seizure of ships, Marven has never done it in his previous life. This time, he also relied on the Wild Pioneer Order and the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce to catch Lola first before he dared to do so.
At that time, even if the Southern Wizards Alliance wants to arbitrate, he will have the September Medal to compete with the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce.
Anyway, this ship, he's going to be decided!
Not surprisingly, like the other ships, the navigator was the priest of the Silver Church. This greedy guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death immediately rebelled under the double temptation of Marven's scimitar and money, and when Marven proposed that he could let Collins promote him to a position within the Silver Church, he suddenly became very motivated.
Although it was nighttime, the lighthouse in the harbor was still there, and the stars in the sky were still there, so it was not difficult to determine the direction.
As long as you can escape from the port of Black Dock and get to the sea, it will be easy.
But it is not so simple to escape from the Black Dock Harbor.
Is the Black Dock Port a closed port? mouth, the sluice gate at night is closed. In order to open the sluices, it is necessary to have a pass and normal travel qualifications.
Obviously, the Nanfang that Ma Wen forcibly grabbed was not qualified for normal passage.
They were able to get the ship away, but they had to be cleared by the port guards.
This requires some means of concealment.
……
On the lighthouse of the Black Dock Harbor.
Two bored soldiers were playing cards.
Three watches in the middle of the night, and no one will sail the boat. They are idle, and it is normal for them to play cards.
"*. Lost again. One of the guys shouted swearing.
However, at this moment, another person suddenly stood up.
"What the hell? Neurotic, huh? "The other one was obviously in a bad mood when he lost. Curse angrily.
"Something is wrong! How can a ship come to us! ”
The soldiers on duty saw the lights shining in the pitch black.
These fires correspond to the corresponding flags, which means to let them open the gates of the Black Dock Harbor.
"It's the South, the ship of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce."
"Something is wrong, they just entered the port a few days ago, and the record reported that they sailed two days later."
"How can you sail late at night?"
The two soldiers looked at each other, both noticing something strange.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Open the gates." The man said quickly: "The South has a temporary mission, and it must go to the whirlwind port in the south to pick up a batch of goods. ”
"Hurry up."
Captain George!
Seeing Captain George appear, the suspicion in the hearts of the two eased slightly.
After all, everyone knows. The captain of the South is none other than the third son of the owner of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce, George.
"But...... It's not in ...... way."
One of the soldiers hesitated.
However, before he could finish his sentence, another soldier suddenly elbowed him in the stomach!
The latter bent over in a sharp pain, and his companion struck another hand knife.
He fainted completely.
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll open the floodgates for you right away." The soldier flattered and said, "Lord Mundin of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce is very good to us, and we will definitely settle this little matter for you." ”
Marven was stunned.
After using the disguise and the Fraudster Mask, he did look exactly like George, and the difference in form was erased in the darkness.
He had figured out how to trick the two soldiers on duty.
But I didn't expect it. There are also "their own people" among these two people.
"The White Elephant Chamber of Commerce has bought a lot of soldiers from the port......" Marven laughed secretly in his heart, and he nodded at the moment, and casually threw a wizard gold coin over.
"That's the best, the shipment to the south doesn't wait for anyone."
The soldier nodded, "Understood." You can rest assured. ”
"Everything will be done for you. I'll shut him up. ”
Marven nodded, and disappeared into the darkness.
……
On the wharf of the Black Dock Harbor, the sluice gates were opened silently.
Everyone on board the South looked at each other. They never expected that Master Marven would only go for such a short time. That's it!
"Lord Marven is really as magical as the legend says."
"yes, just out of the port. No problem. ”
"Miss Lola didn't lie to us!"
The sailors talked excitedly in low voices.
"Don't talk nonsense, get out of the boat!" Marven's figure reappeared on the ship.
Everyone was suddenly silent.
The sails were pulled to the top, and the helmsman steered the South out of the harbor of Black Dock and plunged headlong into the vast sea!
……
"My lord, which direction are we going?"
In the brightly lit captain's room, the white-bearded navigator asked flatteringly.
Marven looked at the gradually disappearing coastline and finally reported a coordinate!
The navigator listened, spread out the chart, compared it with the compass, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "You are crazy!" ”
The next second, the scimitar rested on the navigator's neck again.
"It's best not to question my decision."
"Going to that place is the best way to go."
Marven said coldly.
The priest of the Silver Church said with a bitter face, "But it's a cursed place, if the crew knows about it......"
"They won't know, we'll only be on that island for a while." Marven said calmly: "No one will go to the island except me." ”
"And no one knows what it is except you, does it?"
The navigator smiled wryly and nodded.
At this moment, suddenly two sailors hurriedly shouted: "There is a ship catching up behind!" ”
"They're faster than ours!"
Marven showed a sneer: "Now, do you have any other routes to choose from?" ”
The priest was silent. As Marven said, the two boats behind were chasing. If you take the normal route, you will definitely be overtaken.
Just walk to the place Marvin said. There is hope.
He gritted his teeth and walked quickly out of the captain's quarters to find the helmsman.
In the vast expanse of the sea, the South began to deviate from its original voyage and headed southeast.
……
"They changed course!"
"Damn*, something must have gone wrong."
On the sea, two ships, the ships of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce, closely followed the lonely shadow in the distance.
They were all ships of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce, and they immediately sensed that something was wrong and immediately started to catch up.
They were indeed much faster than the South. Because of their ship. All equipped with [Wind Wizard]!
This profession sounds famous, but it's actually just a profession that some magic apprentices who lack wizarding talent have turned to.
Their meaning is to provide strong wind power to the sails. In this way, they will sail much faster.
Of course, because it's driven by the wind wizard, it won't last long, and it's okay to chase ships in the short term, but not in the long term.
After the Nanfang changed course, they could only be forced to chase after it.
Two hours later, the two sides were getting closer.
And yet at this very moment. Suddenly a heavy fog rose on the sea!
"Oh no, we're getting close to that area."
The captains of both ships realized that something was wrong!
Along the entire East Coast, only the cursed sea is haunted by such fog all year round!
Those superstitious legends about this sea. It began to come to the minds of the captains.
To chase, or not to chase?
This becomes a big problem.
The Wind Wizards are exhausted, but the South is just around the corner.
The captains of the two ships briefly discussed. Decide to keep the pursuit!
It's already so close after all!
However, at this moment, suddenly a sailor shouted: "Captain." The South has accelerated! ”
Hasten?
How is this possible?
Both captains were stunned. There was no Wind Wizard on board the South, how could it suddenly accelerate?
However, when they rushed onto the deck. Indeed, the South was seen shaking them off at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Without hesitation, it rushed towards the cursed sea!
At the current speed of both sides, in two hours at most, it will be able to completely shake off the two ships behind!
After all, the fog at sea is too big, and after the visibility is reduced, once the target is lost, it can only be intercepted by luck and experience.
The two captains had no choice but to give the order to return to the sea.
They didn't want to be buried with the South.
It's a course with no return!
……
And on the deck of the Southern, there was a burst of cheers!
They could also see that the two ships had finally given up the pursuit.
They are finally free!
Everyone looked at Marven's gaze, which was almost superstitious!
From the beginning of worship, to later fear, to the current superstition. Marven only took less than half a day!
At this moment, on the sails of the South, a small figure is joyfully releasing its power!
Storm Elve!
Marvin's first servant.
As early as he was traveling through the Screaming Mountains, he stumbled upon the gift that Hathaway had given him.
The newborn storm elves already possess quite excellent strength.
As Marven's servant, his loyalty to Marven is unquestionable.
Level 1 storm spirits naturally carry two abilities, one of which is to control the wind!
In this regard, it is almost instinctive, but it is much stronger than those wind wizards!
As soon as the storm spirit appeared, it directly distanced itself from the ships behind it.
The South frantically sailed towards the target area.
Marven stood at the bow of the boat, staring coldly at the sea.
And as time passed, the sailors recovered from the initial excitement.
The thick fog on the surface of the sea never cleared, which made them a little suspicious.
However, due to Marven's majesty, no one dares to slack off.
This night, everyone was so tired that they were about to lie down.
It wasn't until dawn that the fog weakened slightly. But at this moment, the lookout, sitting on the cable, suddenly screamed:
"Oh my God! Where the hell have we been!? ”
When Marven heard this, he immediately controlled the Ruyi rope and came to the position of the lookout in a few clicks.
He snatched the bronze mirror from the other party's hand and looked into the distance.
Despite the thick fog obscuring his view, he could see the island's shoreline.
Pearl Island!
Marven smiled.
It's finally here.
