Chapter 2906: Port

Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and cold thin fog drifted on the sea surface, making the light even dimmer. This was the Wandering Soul Sea Area, a place even pirates were unwilling to come to.

For this ghostly scene, Baha, squatting on the mast crossbar, expressed no feeling. Xiang Bubu Wang was different; it was shrinking in the hold under the deck, peering out, its spirit highly tense.

Suddenly, something touched Xiang Bubu Wang. It was a cursed person whose body was half-submerged in the wooden wall of the hold.

Xiang Bubu Wang's body shivered, discovering that it was the cursed person who touched it. It bared its teeth at the cursed person, meaning "scared the shit out of me."

The cursed person shrank back into the damp wooden wall, while Xiang Bubu Wang continued to step on the wooden ladder, peering out on the deck, nervous. In fact, Xiang Bubu Wang hadn't figured out one point: the cursed person was much stronger than a ghost. For a cursed person, ghost = food delivered to the door.

The Wandering Soul Sea Area couldn't trap the Misfortune, or rather, the reason why this sea area was like this was because of the Misfortune.

The thin fog around gradually dissipated, and the dim sunlight of the evening shone from the horizon. One cursed person after another crawled out from under the deck. They stood on the deck, looking at the sunset on the horizon with dull eyes.

"My hometown, over there."

A cursed person raised its dead-white hand and pointed to the horizon. The clothing on its body had long been soaked by seawater beyond recognition. It could vaguely be seen that this was the Imperial Navy officer uniform.

There were two types of crew members enslaved by the Misfortune: one had been a sailor on this ship, and the other died because of this ship. This Royal Navy belonged to the latter.

On the collar of this naval officer, there was a rusty metal plate. This was an identification plate, to avoid being unable to identify the identity because the appearance of the corpse was too miserable during naval battles.

Su Xiao signaled the cursed person who was once a Royal Navy to step forward, and with a hook of the Boundary Breaking Line, he hooked the other party's identification plate.

Scraping off the barnacles and rust with a small knife, Su Xiao saw a few words: Amans Murray, the former was the first name, the latter was the surname.

In addition to the name Amans Murray, Su Xiao also saw a blurred seal below, which was a Baron seal.

In the Imperial faction, the nobility system had been abolished hundreds of years ago. Even when it wasn't abolished, a Baron didn't have much power; they were all rewarded for fighting bravely at sea. The real great nobility was hereditary.

37 cursed people, 5 of whom were naval officers of the Imperial faction. This was good news, as they could use this to contact the Imperial faction.

In the Demon Sea, the Empire had no specific name, nor could it have one. The reason was that there were many islands on the Demon Sea, and all the islands under the rule of the Empire were individual principalities. The so-called Empire was actually a collection of many principalities united because of the pressure of pirates.

For the time being, the power of the Empire was still unified, but this had nothing to do with Su Xiao. He didn't want to contact the bureaucratic system of the Empire, but the naval system of the Empire.

On the Demon Sea, the Imperial Navy was the absolute real power faction. Without them topping the front, after pirates landed on the island, there would be disastrous consequences in the initial stage, until the four great pirates took over these territories.

Su Xiao looked at the five rusty identification plates in his hand. His purpose for contacting the Imperial Navy was very simple: to get a large sum of gold coins, and then use the Demon Sea energy in the gold coins to lift the seal of the Misfortune.

There was another problem: cursed people couldn't board the land. To capture Shipwreck Island, this problem had to be solved, at least temporarily solved, so that the cursed people could board the island to fight for a period of time.

Unknowingly, the sky turned dark. The sea at night was pitch black. A lantern hung on the bow of the Misfortune, swinging left and right while making a creaking sound of metal friction. This scene was somewhat terrifying.

A few nautical miles away.

"Meow~"

Benny lay on the ice, all four claws fully stretched out. During the day, she thought she was dead. Encountering a Tier 8 violator, in that situation, she might not even have the chance to use 【Shelter Gem】. I don't know why, but after the violator talked to himself for a while, he left.

*Creak. *

Wooden planks rubbed. Benny raised her head slightly and saw a lantern approaching in the distance. She immediately bounced off the ice, her tail bristling.

"Woo~"

The sea breeze seemed to be sobbing. A black shadow passed under the ice, and cold energy drifted around, completely suppressing Benny's perception. She couldn't even perceive Amu beside her, helpless and pitiful.

Ripples appeared in the seawater beside the ice, and a dog head slowly rose from the seawater...

Five minutes later, Benny sat squatting under the mast of the Misfortune, angry. Nearby was Xiang Bubu Wang, whose face was full of claw marks.

A photo was thrown beside Benny. Benny turned her head to look. After seeing the content of the photo, she almost went into shock. The photo showed her standing upright, like a terrified look of raising her claws to surrender.

Ignoring the Xiang Bubu Wang and Benny who were fighting until their fur was messy, in the captain's room, Su Xiao was checking a sea chart with the help of the orange light of the lantern.

This sea chart was carried by a cursed person, made of the skin of some kind of supernatural sea beast. One-third of the islands and shipping routes of the Demon Sea were recorded on it.

This was a sea chart from hundreds of years ago. The accuracy was a big problem, but having it was better than not having it. After Su Xiao searched for a while, the 'St. Eld Port' on the sea chart attracted his attention.

This place was not far from him. With the speed of the Misfortune, he could reach 'St. Eld Port' around two o'clock in the second half of the night. This was one of the three continents in the Demon Sea world, and its area could not be compared to islands.

More importantly, hundreds of years ago, this was a dividing line, separating the territory of pirates and the Empire. From this, one could imagine how many Royal Navy would be stationed at 'St. Eld Port'.

The sails of the Misfortune were lowered, and the sailing speed reached the limit, heading straight for 'St. Eld Port'.

The moonless night was very dark. 'St. Eld Port', which had been busy all day, was quiet at this time. The whale oil in the lighthouse was burning.

In the wooden watchtower not far away, a navy wearing a tricorn hat was drooping his head one by one. Meeting his lover during the day made his legs soft, and he had to guard the port at night. His strong body couldn't hold on.

A cold feeling drifted past. The navy on the watchtower suddenly raised his head, looking down from the lighthouse above. There was nothing.

"This ghostly weather."

The navy in the watchtower took out a small iron box, dug out some oily substance with his fingertips, and smeared it between his nose and upper lip. The stimulating smell made him energetic.

What this navy soldier didn't find was that in the seawater a hundred meters in front of the pier, a three-masted ship with dark red sails was lurking underwater.

Su Xiao walked on the pitch-black pier. He didn't know much about 'St. Eld Port'. Experiencing many worlds allowed him to find the high-level navy of 'St. Eld Port' at the fastest speed.

After passing the pier full of various goods, Su Xiao arrived at a port town. He began to look for buildings with lanterns hanging beside the doors.

Soon, he found a two-story stone building with a lantern hanging in front. Amu stepped forward and knocked on the door. After about half a minute, footsteps appeared inside the door, as well as low cursing sounds like muttering.

"Which blind one is it? It's already the second half of the night..."

The somewhat bald hotel owner pulled open the door, saw Amu, who was more than three meters tall and whose arms were thicker than his legs, and then took Su Xiao and his party to the room on the second floor with an attitude that was not enthusiastic but very polite.

"Sorry to disturb you late at night, thank you."

As Su Xiao spoke, he threw out a small piece of gold. Gold had value in this world, but wanting to exchange gold for gold coins was basically impossible. The preciousness of gold coins lay in the Demon Sea energy contained within them.

"No disturbance, no disturbance. It's already the second half of the night. The guests must be hungry, right? I'll go wake up my wife and let her make a midnight snack for the distinguished guests."

"No need, I want you to help me find someone."

"Find someone..." The hotel owner looked embarrassed. He was an ordinary person who came into contact with more people, but other than that, he had no other ability.

"I want to find someone who knows everything and can get some 'little things'. That person is best related to the Royal Navy."

"This..."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the hotel owner hesitated. He felt that the gold piece in his hand began to burn.

"Guest, wait a moment, I happen to know such a person. That is my nephew."

The hotel owner left in a hurry. After about ten minutes, messy footsteps came from outside the hotel, and a moment later, a rush of running footsteps on the floor came from outside the room door.

*Bang! *

The wooden door of the room was kicked to pieces. Three navy soldiers holding smoothbore guns stood outside the room door. The three smoothbore guns, each more than 1 meter long, were all aimed at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao got up from the bed. The efficiency of the Royal Navy was okay, faster than he expected. He raised his hands while moving forward, and with a *click*, iron-black shackles were locked on his wrists.

"What is your purpose in coming to St. Eld Port?"

A navy officer without a beard spoke and signaled others not to continue aiming their muzzles at Su Xiao. This thing had a not-small probability of misfiring and was a weapon used to deter ordinary people.

"I am a pirate."

"What?"

The navy officer didn't react for a while. After asking again and getting the same answer, he ordered Su Xiao to be escorted to the prison of the port. ===== CHAPTER 2907 =====
