Chapter 438 Long Voyage. High Competition III

The storm continued on the eastern course.

Even, there is an expanding trend.

And the fleet that found something wrong, either avoided it early, or searched for a few nearby islands to avoid the storm-although it is not as famous as the three islands of secret method, military port, and trade, and it is far less than the capital of freedom. There is no problem with the temporarily docked island.

Therefore, when there are some ships that should not appear in this sea area, they are absolutely conspicuous.

A sloop sailed with half sail, and the sailors kept paddling the oars vigorously.

However, the main driving force is still driven by the wind.

It can be seen that the captain of this sloop is definitely a commendable veteran, and he is able to sail in a storm, even though this ship is specially made, and it is only sailing along the edge of the storm, not rushing into it. Among them, but this kind of navigation technology is still amazing.

"Captain, captain, there are discoveries!"

The sloop's lookout shouted loudly.

Quickly, the sloop began to turn the rudder, and then carefully approached the area designated by the lookout.

And after approaching for a certain distance, this time, the sailors of the sloop saw everything in front of them without the need for watchmen——

Lots of ice floes, dead bodies, wrecks of ships.

The sailors let out a burst of exclamation.

"My God! What happened to them?"

"Those are the vice-captains under Kojill! They are all dead!"

"Look! That time and time Kejill?"

Following the exclamation from behind, the captain of the sloop was attracted, and he shouted loudly: "Go and salvage that corpse!"

"Yes. Captain!"

shouted the two sailors.

After a while. The two sailors returned with the body.

"It's really Kejir!"

"It was cut into two pieces.

It's really too miserable! "

"Miserable? Such a guy deserves to die—think of the poor man who was robbed by him!"

Surrounding Kogil's body, the sailors talked a lot, with sympathy from the kind and ridicule from the sensible; and the captain of the sloop obviously belonged to the latter.

"Check around, and if you find nothing, we're headed back—this damn storm is getting bigger and bigger. I don't want to feed the fish!"

With a kind of perfunctory, the captain of the sloop shook Na's jacket, and the water splashed.

Immediately, the sailors, who understood the environment they were in, immediately started to take action—to salvage the corpse, the corpse that could enable them to complete their mission.

The sloop's first mate joined them.

However, soon, the first officer returned to his captain's side——

"The weapon wounds are all the same. It should be done by one person... and the surrounding ice floes. And the charred wreckage of the ship..."

The first officer frowned and said, with a deep sense of astonishment on his face.

"Is that the head of Patriarch Zelgang?"

the captain asked slowly.

"should be!"

The first officer nodded slowly.

"Hiss! How is it possible?"

The captain immediately gasped. He glanced at the sea area full of floating corpses and ice floes—in his imagination, it should be the experts of the Zelgaon family who launched the attack together, and then that bastard Kejier lost his life; however, He also has no doubts about his deputy's deduction.

After all, his deputy is an expert in this field.

"The large amount of ice floes has basically kept the original appearance here - if it wasn't for the edge of the storm, when we arrived here, we should be able to see a large piece of ice floes!"

The deputy was imagining that appearance while talking, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"It actually froze a piece of sea area - this Zelgaon Patriarch..."

The captain's words became lower and lower.

In the end, without saying anything, he looked at his deputy, shrugged and said: "We are just hired people, and we are not the enemies of Patriarch Zelgang... After completing this task, we will first Leave the trade island and go to the military port island to avoid for a while-damn guys, you always get some troublesome enemies!"

Only the first officer could hear the words that followed.

"a wise decision!"

The first officer nodded in agreement.

As a great knight who has been baptized, he is very clear about the consequences of meeting such an opponent - there is no other possibility except for the complete annihilation of the army.

Although those guys on Trade Island are very generous, it is absolutely impossible to make them ignore life and death.

After the captain and first mate had made a plan, it was impossible for anyone on board the sloop to object.

Therefore, after a while, they left in a hurry with some corpses that could be used as evidence.

And not long after the sloop departed.

Two figures appeared in this sea area, they glanced at each other, and then, just like the sudden appearance before, disappeared again.

However, a confirmed message was secretly introduced to a certain place from the hands of these two figures.

On the message, it reads——

'The target's strength exceeds the original estimate, it is recommended to stop the action, and the chance of Jiadis's betrayal will increase! '

...

The sailing fleet of the Zelgon family has added several new ships——

A barque and six two-masted ships second only to the galleons.

And this brought the number of ships owned by the entire fleet to seventeen in an instant, especially the two-masted sailing ship as the basic ship, and two Galen ships as the flagship.

This can already be called a fleet in Emerald.

And the two magic cannons hidden on Galen's ship made the term 'fleet' well-deserved.

For such a change, Longke, the elder of the Zelgang family, is the most excited——

"The fleet of the Zelgon family! The fleet of the Zelgon family!"

Such nagging sounds would appear on the lips of this respected old man every once in a while.

For this old man, the strength of the Zelgon family is everything.

And for Dean, who made the Zelgon family grow stronger quickly. The old man became more and more respectful.

In fact. On board the whole fleet. The respect for Dean, the patriarch, was obvious—the battle two weeks ago was unforgettable for them all their lives.

The fact that Dean overturned a fleet by himself really shocked them.

In particular, after no one on the other side was able to escape, such a shock, like a soul imprint, followed these Zelgans like a shadow.

And they were quite apprehensive about Gao Sai and his party. At this time, he became extremely confident.

Even, it is fanaticism!

Because they have an extremely powerful patriarch, moreover, an unusually young patriarch-a strong man, the cohesion of a family is beyond imagination in Godez.

Just look at the hard-working sailors and acting captains aboard House Zelgon's ships.

They even couldn't wait to reach the capital of Gaosai and meet the 'Frost Nobility' belonging to Gaosai.

It seems that because of such an eager heart, even the sea breeze can feel it.

The direction the Zelgon family's fleet had sailed since rounding the storm. All are tailwinds, making the original estimated arrival time of three weeks. Two days less.

"Master, according to the current speed, we will be able to reach Gaosai Wangdu Port tomorrow!"

Nord reported.

As one of the elders of the Zelgon family, Nord has gradually become the link between the various ships under the deliberate authorization of the elder Lunk.

Anything should be reported to Nord first, and then Nord should inform Dean.

Dean had no objection to this.

Knowing that a person's energy is limited, Dean doesn't mind having loyal subordinates to help him.

"Well, slow down the speed and wait for His Highness to enter Gaosai's Royal Capital Port - raise the flag of the Zelgaon family... and His Highness's golden battle flag!"

Dean nodded and ordered, and then added another sentence.

As a family under the Emerald Grand Duke, and Dean, who also served as the Grand Duke's messenger, has the right to fly the flag of the Emerald Grand Duke.

And when he was about to approach Gao Sai, the flags of the Zelgaon family and Grand Duke Emerald were flying, of course Dean wanted to show his identity and reduce unnecessary troubles.

Any country is very vigilant against unknown ships in its own waters, even if it is a completely landlocked country, Xiti is the same.

At least, they own several fleets, sailing in the sea under the banner of trade.

As for the real intention?

As long as you are not a fool, you can understand what is going on.

"Yes, master!"

Nord, who bowed and saluted, walked out of the cabin, while Dean, who was left behind, continued what he hadn't done before - perfecting the [Concentration and Breath Hold Technique]!

When he was on the Secret Magic Island before, although he had considerable knowledge, due to time constraints, Dean did not really perfect the [Concentration and Breath Hold Technique], but only filled in the vacancy a little bit.

And in this two and a half weeks of voyage, he was able to transform the previous knowledge into the completion of the [Concentration and Breath Hold Technique].

[Concentration and breath holding technique lv7 (incomplete): A simplified method from wizard meditation; effect: +1.0 perception judgment blessing, energy recovery speed +1.80/minute]

[Special options: two solidified zero-level trick spell slots, one first-level spell slot]

(Fixed tricks need to know the spell structure, or have a spell scroll)

(Note 1: The level cap of this skill has been reached)

In two and a half weeks, the level of [Concentration and Breath Holding Technique] reached the limit of the next stage, and at the same time, the attributes also showed a slight change. It was originally a special blessing, but it was directly transformed into a direct blessing attribute, and the speed of energy recovery was also greatly improved. , Moreover, after two 0-level spell slots, Dean finally got a 1-level spell slot that could be called a real spell.

Perhaps, it is not so intuitive for direct strength improvement.

However, the particularity of the spell made Dean know that he had some extra means.

So Dean expressed his joy.

This is especially true under the premise that very little xp value is consumed.

Dean glanced at his xp value——

8960!

Even though it took nearly 200 xp to improve [Concentration and Breath Hold], Dean still had a considerable xp under the large base.

When faced with such a considerable xp value, Dean glanced back and forth between [Mountain Soul Power] and [Troll Power].

The first update of ps~(to be continued...)
