Night Ranger
Volume 1: The Nobleman Who Lost His Territory Chapter 140: Pearl Island
Clap clap!
Without a sound, all the fixed cables were cut.
The huge anchor was also slowly pulled up.
Crashing, under the urging of the second officer, the remaining sailors wanted to use one person as two to hoist the sail.
The entire ship is now completely under Marvin's control.
But it's not safe right now. They were still at the wharf of the Black Dock. Marvin had never done such an illegal seizure of a ship in his previous life. This time, he also dared to do this because of the reason of the wilderness development order and the fact that the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce caught Laura first.
At that time, even if the Southern Wizarding Union wants to arbitrate, I will have the September Medal to compete with the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce.
No matter what, he is going to order this boat!
Not surprisingly, like other ships, the navigator is a pastor of the Silver Church. Under the double temptation of Marvin's scimitar and money, this greedy guy immediately rebelled, and when Marvin proposed that he could let Collins promote him to a position in the Silver Church, he suddenly became active very strong.
Although it was night at this time, the lighthouse of the port 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 Black Dock and reach the sea, everything will be easier.
But it is not that simple to escape from the Black Dock.
Blackdock Harbor is a closed port, and the locks are closed at night. To open the sluice, you must have a pass and normal travel qualifications.
Obviously, the Nanfang number that Ma Wenqiang robbed was not eligible for normal passage.
Although they can drive the ship away, they must ask the port's duty personnel to let it go.
This requires some means of deception.
...
On the duty lighthouse of Blackdock Harbor.
Two bored soldiers were playing cards.
In the middle of the night, no one will sail. They have nothing to do, playing cards is also normal.
"Damn it. Lost again," one of the guys yelled cursing.
However, at this moment, another person suddenly stood up.
"What the hell? Crazy?" The other person was obviously in a bad mood after losing. Swear.
"Something's wrong! Why is there a boat coming towards us!"
The soldiers on duty saw the lights in the darkness.
These fire lights correspond to the corresponding semaphore, which means let them open the gate of Black Dock Port.
"It's Nanfang, a ship of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce."
"It's not right. They just entered the port a few days ago, and the records report that they will leave in two days."
"Why are you sailing late at night?"
The two soldiers looked at each other, and they both noticed something strange.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Open the gate." The man said quickly: "The Nanfang has a temporary mission and must go to the whirlwind port in the south to pick up a batch of cargo."
"You guys hurry up."
Captain George!
Seeing the appearance of Captain George, the doubts in the hearts of the two eased a little.
After all, everyone knows. The captain of the South is George, the third son of the owner of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce.
"But...it's against the rules..."
One of the soldiers hesitated.
However, before he finished speaking, another soldier suddenly elbowed him in the stomach!
The latter bent over in a sharp pain, and his companion hit another hand knife.
He passed out completely.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will open the gate for you immediately." The soldier said flatteringly, "Master Mengdin of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce is very kind to us. We will definitely settle this small matter for you."
Marvin was stunned.
He did indeed look exactly like George after the disguise and the Deceiver Mask, the difference in size being erased in the darkness.
He originally wanted to get the two soldiers on duty by bluffing.
But did not expect. There are also "ones of my own" among these two people.
"White Elephant Merchant Guild has often bought soldiers at the port..." Marvin smiled secretly, and then he nodded and casually threw a wizard gold coin over.
"This is the best way, the batch of goods in the south will not wait for anyone."
The soldier nodded and bowed: "I understand. Don't worry."
"It's all taken care of for you. I'll shut up the guy."
Marvin nodded, and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
...
On the wharf of the Black Dock, the sluice was opened silently.
Everyone on the Nanfang looked at each other in blank dismay. They never expected that Lord Marvin had only been there for such a short time. That's it!
"Master Marvin is as amazing as the legend says."
"Yeah, as long as you get out of the port, you'll be fine."
"Miss Laura didn't lie to us!"
The sailors chatted excitedly in low voices.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's sail!" Marvin's figure appeared on the boat again.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
With the sail pulled to the highest point, the helmsman steered the Nanfang out of the port of Black Dock, and plunged into the vast sea!
...
"My lord, which direction are we going?"
In the brightly lit captain's room, the navigator with the gray beard asked obsequiously.
Marvin looked at the gradually disappearing coastline, and finally reported a coordinate!
After hearing this, the navigator spread out the chart and compared it with the compass, his face changed drastically: "You are crazy!"
In 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."
Marvin said coldly.
The pastor of the Silver Church said with a bitter face: "But it is a cursed place, if the crew finds out..."
"They won't know, we will only stay on that island for a while." Marvin said calmly, "No one will go to the island except me."
"And no one knows where that is except you, do they?"
The navigator nodded with a wry smile.
At this moment, two sailors suddenly shouted in a hurry: "There is a boat coming up behind!"
"They're faster than ours!"
Marvin showed a sneer: "Now, do you have other routes to choose?"
The pastor was silent. As Marvin said, the two ships behind were chasing. If you take an ordinary route, you will definitely be caught up.
Just go to the place Marvin said. There is hope.
He gritted his teeth and quickly left the captain's cabin to find the helmsman.
On the vast sea, Nanfang began to deviate from its original voyage and headed southeast.
...
"They changed course!"
"Damn it, something must be wrong."
On the surface of the sea, two ships from the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce closely followed the lonely shadow in the distance.
They are all ships of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce, and they immediately sensed that something was wrong, and immediately started chasing them.
Their speed is indeed much faster than the Nanfang. because they're on board. All equipped with [Wind Wizard]!
This profession sounds very famous, but it is actually just a profession that some magic apprentices who lack wizard talent switch to.
The meaning of their existence is to provide strong wind power to the sails. In this way, their sailing speed will be much faster.
Of course, because it is driven by the wind wizard, it will not last very long. It can be used for chasing ships in the short term, but not in the long term.
After the Nanfang changed its course, they could only be forced to chase after it.
Two hours later, the two sides continued to approach.
However, at this moment. A heavy fog suddenly rose on the sea!
"Not good, we are approaching that sea area."
The captains of both ships realized that something was wrong!
Around the entire east coast, only the cursed sea area is surrounded by such a thick fog all year round!
There are superstitious legends about this sea area. began to come to the minds of captains.
To chase, or not to chase?
This became a big problem.
The Wind Wizards are exhausted, but the South is just around the corner.
The captains of the two ships discussed briefly. Decided to keep going!
It's so close after all!
However, at this moment, a sailor suddenly shouted: "Captain, the Nanfang speeds up!"
accelerate?
How can this be?
The two captains were very stunned. There is no wind wizard on the Nanfang, so how could it suddenly speed up?
However, when they rushed onto the deck. It was indeed seen that Nanfang was throwing them away at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It rushed to the cursed sea without hesitation!
At the current speed of the two sides, it can completely shake off the two ships behind in two hours at most!
After all, the fog on the sea is too thick, and after the visibility is reduced, once you lose your target, you can only rely on luck and experience to intercept it.
The two captains had no choice but to give the order to return.
They didn't want to be buried with Nanfang.
That is a course of no return!
...
On the deck of the Nanfang, there was a burst of cheers!
They could also see that the two ships finally gave up the pursuit.
They are finally free!
Everyone looked at Marvin almost superstitiously!
From worship at the beginning, to fear later, to superstition now. It only took Ma Wen less than half a day!
At this moment, above the sails of the Nanfang, a small figure is joyfully releasing its own power!
Storm Elf!
Marvin's first servant.
As early as when he crossed the Screaming Mountains, he accidentally discovered that this gift given to him by Hathaway had been conceived successfully.
The newborn Storm Elf already possesses quite outstanding strength.
As Marvin's servant, his loyalty to Marvin is beyond doubt.
A level 1 storm elf naturally carries two abilities, one of which is to control the wind!
In this respect, it is almost its instinct, much better than those wind wizards!
As soon as the storm elves appeared, they immediately distanced themselves from the ships behind them.
Nanfang frantically drove towards the target sea area.
Marvin stood at the bow, staring at the sea coldly.
And with the passage of time, the sailors recovered from the initial excitement.
The dense fog on the sea has never dispersed, which makes them a little suspicious.
However, due to Ma Wen's majesty, no one dared to passively sabotage work.
That night, everyone was so tired that they almost fell to the ground.
It wasn't until dawn that the fog abated slightly. But at this moment, the watchman sitting on the cable suddenly screamed:
"My God! Where did we go!?"
After hearing this, Marvin immediately manipulated the Ruyi rope, and arrived at the watchman's position in a few strokes.
He snatched the bronze mirror from the opponent's hand and looked into the distance.
He could see the island's coastline clearly, despite the thick fog blocking his view.
Pearl Island!
Marvin smiled.
finally reached.
