Teweed Island is like a fortress hanging alone on the dark sea. There is a mountain peak on the island. From the Wagtail Channel, only the southern foot of the mountain can be seen. The vegetation is lush. If you have read this chapter, please move to
: Chinese. Read the latest chapter The moonlight shines on the narrow waterway between Taweed Island and the west coast, shining brightly, as if there is a pool of silver foil floating on the sparkling waves.
The promontory on the west side of the island extends into the sea, blocking the view behind it. There is a lighthouse on the long promontory, but the light beam on the lighthouse does not illuminate the nearby waters. It stands darkly above the sea level, like a standing figure.
Night watchman at night.
A few nautical miles to the south of the island, three sailboats, two in front and one behind, were fully loaded with sails. Their sterns drew a long track on the sea, slowly sailing towards Taweed Island and Wagtails in the silent night.
The waterway between the west coast of the Liao Strait.
The sailboat moved forward at a speed of six knots and soon passed the cape. Brando stood on the bow and saw the lighthouse similar to the one he had seen in the Sea of Eternal Darkness, the Sublime Inland Sea and other places slowly slowly
Being thrown behind him, when the view of the waterway was fully opened in front of everyone, he saw the port in the bay opposite to the north of Teweed Island.
"That's Gusair." Instalong also looked in that direction and said: "This is the territory of several necromancers. Among all the dark nobles, these guys are the ones who have the most dealings with humans. They need materials, and they need
Skeletons require casting materials, which is very troublesome anyway. This port was established by smugglers. It was just an anchorage at first, and then gradually expanded into the prototype of a town. Most of the residents in the port are actually humans."
"Humans? What about the undead?" The one who spoke was the young man lying on the side of the ship. It was Nasin's adopted son, the young man named Sebastian. Although after learning about Delphine and Brando's 'relationship'
Later (Delphine lied about being Brando's fiancée), he was severely shocked for a while. However, the young man's mind was as light as a cloud after all, and now he seems to have returned to normal.
The status that Huanghuo promised to the Rosalin family in Jiufeng is actually a fiefdom outside the borders of Jiufeng. However, Lord Rosalin naturally cannot abandon his foundation, and the relocation of the territory will take a long time to prepare.
, so the young man got on the boat first with Na Xin.
"The undead rarely establish settlements in fixed places. Except for some cities in the inner sea of the Dead Moon, the undead wizards are more accustomed to living in wizard towers. Although they also mine minerals and build workshops, the undead do not need to live in the same place.
Private space, so their base is usually just a castle, a manor or even a cemetery." Blanc, standing next to Brando, explained to him.
"They are low-grade undead." Instaron added.
It was pitch dark in the direction of Qusayr Port, and you could only vaguely see the trestle stretching out into the sea under the moonlight. Seeing this scene, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts. Although this era is not as bright as later generations,
But a human port will never lose sight of any lights, unless something unexpected happens in the port.
However, Brando, Delphine, Instaron and Tagus did not speak rashly. They all waited to get closer to see the situation. No one on the deck spoke for a while. Only the sound of the wind was left, which seemed unusual.
of quietness.
In this silent silence, the sailboat sailed into the Teweed Waterway and inserted straight into the channel heading towards the port. There was not a single ship or sampan visible on the nearby sea, only on the right side of the ship.
A few strands away, the rugged rocks on the beach on Teweed Island glowed palely in the moonlight, as if they were covered with white bones.
Seeing this scene, the young man also shut his mouth obediently.
The ship soon approached the port, but it was at this time that the weather was not good. Thick clouds came from nowhere and blocked the moonlight, making the visibility on the waterway suddenly lowered, and the surrounding area was shrouded in mist.
The light has dimmed quite a bit.
Among the crowd, only two undead souls, Tagus and Instar Dragon, are not affected. Brando can also see far away in weak light with his dark perception, but after all, the dark vision of the undead works in a completely different way than the undead.
to human beings.
The three of them were all staring in the direction of the port. There were densely packed rows of sailboats parked in the port, two-masted and single-masted, and only a few large ships. The masts stood like a forest, but there was no wind lantern on them, not even a weak one.
No candlelight could be seen, and there was no one on these boats. There was no sign of human activity.
Brando's eyes scanned the cargo piled at the other end of the trestle. The existence of these cargoes and these ships shows that the function of the port itself has not been affected. So why can't a single ship be seen on the sea in this area throughout the day?
"There is someone in the port." Tagus suddenly said silently.
"What?"
"There are people in the port, and there are people on those ships. We can smell the existence of life." Instalong also squinted his eyes and looked at Gusair Port with some solemnity.
"Are you talking about the ships parked in the port? Are they the same as normal?" Brando asked, pointing to the forest of masts. If the port is fine, the ships look like ghost ships.
, the boat was completely dark, and there were no wind lanterns hung on the stern or mast. It would be understandable if there were two of them like this, but if every one of them was like this, it would be too weird.
"I didn't say they were the same as normal, Mr. Count, but there are people on board, that's for sure, unless someone deliberately used magic to mislead me and Tagus." Instalon replied.
"how many people?"
"There are as few as ten people, as many as twenty or thirty people, distributed in the lower cabins, if you are talking about those ships," Installon continued: "The people in the port are evenly distributed, and in those buildings
Inside, it doesn’t look like an ambush.”
"In other words, everything is normal in Gusair right now?" Brando stared at Gusair Port and frowned deeply: "Do you think this statement is normal?"
Instaron shrugged: "Seriously, I think it's weird."
"So Huang Huo, Mr. Liu, have you ever been to a port of the undead like this?"
Mr. Liu shook his head: "This port is a little weird. Even if there is a curfew, it won't be this bad."
"Should we go ashore to have a look?" Huang Huo turned around and asked.
Brando looked at Instar Dragon. He was unfamiliar with this sea area, and as a local snake in Madara, the decision was obviously best left to the two dark noble gentlemen.
"Let's take a closer look."
Tagus pondered for a moment and replied.
Miss Adney opened the cabin door, poked her head out to take a look at Brando and the others on the deck, frowned, and then sat back down on the stairs leading to the cabin below.
She looked at her friends and asked in a low voice: "Let's make an idea, Naquil, what should we do now?"
The knight gentlemen from Lubik were surrounding their deputy leader, whispering to each other and discussing something, while the elf ranger was a little further away, with his arms folded, leaning against the bulkhead of the narrow aisle, with his back pressed
My own longbow.
After listening to the other party's words, he looked up at Adni and shook his head slightly: "The only way now is to stay with that person for a while. I think that will happen to Lord La's omniscient eye at that time.
There must be some reason for this."
"Mr. Naquil, we all understand what you are saying, but the question is, in what capacity are we on this ship now?" A knight asked in a low voice.
"Of course it is clear," Naquil replied: "That person is the messenger of the god Ra. We can definitely follow him. This is also following the will of the god Ra."
Can it still be explained this way?
The knights were stunned for a moment.
"What if he isn't?" Adni looked a little reluctant. Although she was only the deputy leader, she had been giving orders to the team since she left Lubik. She was not willing to hand over this power to anyone.
of a stranger.
Still for such a weird reason.
"You'll know if you look at it. Our feet are on us, right? Nothing in the desert can restrain the freedom of the wind and sand."
"Hey, it's not that I don't support it," Adni sighed: "I mean, let's put it another way?"
"Place it another way?" The knights were stunned, wondering what other way to put it: "Captain, do you have any other opinions?"
"Don't you think, you can let the envoy hire us?" In the darkness, Adni's eyes sparkled: "It's the difference between being paid or not. Our envoy looks very rich."
"Martha, I knew..."
"The reputation of our Knights is completely ruined."
"We are sorry to Mr. Hussey."
The knights suddenly howled like ghosts.
The wailing sound from the other side even reached Brando's ears, and he frowned and glanced over there.
Those people were also the people who were rescued from Gui Che's boat. When he didn't wake up, both Tagus and Instalong thought they were Blanc's men, and Blanc thought they were his people, so
They just made an mistake and let the other party get on the boat. However, they couldn't be driven off the boat at sea, so they were allowed to stay on the boat. Originally, they were expected to let these people off the boat when they were going to Qingyujigao, but they didn't.
Thinking of something like this happening again.
And Brando always felt that those people looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
He quickly calmed down his emotions and looked towards the bow of the ship again. At this time, the ship had sailed into Gusail Bay, and there was no guide boat or anything else in sight. The port was quiet, and it was quiet from here to the direction of the bay.
No more than half a mile away, the outline of the entire port was clearly visible, but there was still no movement.
It was as if their three boats entered the inlet without causing any reaction.
