"What's the situation now?" The next morning, before the sun had even risen, Li Huailin had already arrived at the auction house. Yes, Wilken was temporarily locked up here. Initially, Li Huailin thought that it would be safe to send a few people to watch over Wilken. Hence, he did not immediately send Wilken to prison. However, when he arrived in the morning, he found that all the guards were asleep on the floor. Judging by the situation, they were not put down. Instead, they were drunk. Yes, the smell of alcohol was very strong.
However, what was more interesting was that Wilken was still there. He had no intention of escaping. He was sleeping on the chair, but he woke up as soon as Li Huailin came in. He seemed to be very sober.
"Damn it! Are you guys looking for death?!" Porter, who was next to Li Huailin, had a dark expression on his face. Li Huailin had asked him to watch over Wilken. However, it was fortunate that Wilken did not escape. Otherwise, how could he explain this to Li Huailin? Very upset, Porter kicked the guards who were sleeping on the floor and woke them up. When the guards woke up, they realized that they had failed in their duties. They immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"You really did not run away?" Li Huailin asked curiously.
"If I leave, you'll definitely kill them." Wilken pointed at the drunk guards and said, "They drank with me all night. Now, they are my brothers. You said that you would give my brothers the money, so give it to them too."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a little surprised and nodded. Wilken did have the boldness of the Sea people. Although he was a little funny, in some ways, he was really a talent. It was rare for Li Huailin to recruit Wilken. He thought about it and said, "Wilken, you said that your sailors will all return home after coming back this time. Are you not going to go out to sea anymore?"
"Yes. After all, they have experienced these things …" Wilken sighed again. "It was like hell …"
"What about you?" Li Huailin asked. "Are you going to return home?"
"Me?" Wilken smiled bitterly. "I don't have a family. The sea is my home, and my crew is my family. Now that they are leaving, although I'm sad, I won't stop them. As for me, I'm destined to spend my entire life on the sea. "
"Then are you going to use your life identity to go to sea in the future?" Li Huailin asked. "You know, now that the seal between the various seas has been unlocked, the ocean will definitely become more important in the future. It just so happens that I also want to develop a navy."
"Err … Are you trying to recruit me?" Wilken immediately understood. "Forget it. I'm used to wandering around. I'm not suitable for the army."
"You're really stupid." Li Huailin smiled. "The so-called unsuitable for the military means that you're not used to having someone above you. I'll let you command a fleet, and you can do whatever you want. There's no restriction."
"You're letting me command a fleet?" Wilken was instantly tempted. Yes, as long as one was a Seafolk, who wouldn't want to command a huge fleet at sea one day? So, Li Huailin's condition really hit a nerve. After thinking about it, Wilken really couldn't convince himself to give up this opportunity. "Are you sure you want me to command a fleet?"
"I'm sure. You see, I don't even have a navy right now. If you come, you'll be the first elder. What do you think?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Then my ship …" Wilken immediately asked.
"I don't even have a ship." Li Huailin spread his hands. "But I have money. If I were to throw gold coins in tons, do you think I would be able to make a fleet?"
Of course, all problems could be solved with money. Wilken nodded. It was a feasible idea. "If that's the case …"
"But it'll be too slow for you to build the navy by yourself. I think, wow, not all of your subordinates want to return home in glory. You can find a few confidants and recruit some new people. Won't you be able to build the framework immediately? " Li Huailin said. "You can tell your subordinates that they'll definitely benefit from following me. If they want to leave, they can leave. If they want to stay, I promise to give them wealth."
"Okay." Wilken thought about it and nodded. He felt that Li Huailin was right. "I'll talk to them …"
"Wait, wait …" Li Huailin suddenly remembered that he was here to ask Wilken to find the island. "But all of this is based on the premise that you bring me to the island. If you can't find it, everyone will be hanged."
"I'll bring you there, but … what do you want? Can you promise not to hurt those islanders? "Wilken asked after thinking for a while.
"I'll tell you the truth. All I want is vibranium raw ore." Li Huailin said, "If they're willing to hand it over, I'm not interested in their lives. But if they don't, I won't hold back."
"Then can you let me negotiate with them?" Wilken asked after thinking for a while.
"Sure, I said I only want the raw ore. You can negotiate with them or even pay for it, as long as you give it to me," Li Huailin said.
"Okay, I'll bring you there." Wilken was a little hesitant before, but now he was obviously more enthusiastic. After all, Li Huailin had given him a bright future. Since this guy was going to become his boss soon, Wilken felt that it wasn't too much of a grievance to do something for him.
The two arrived at a city called Waysland. It was a port city located in the southwest of the continent. The reason for their visit was, of course, because Wilken's ship was docked here, and this was the closest place to the small island. Wilken had already told them about this yesterday because he knew Li Huailin's influence. It was really easy to find his ship, so there was no need to struggle.
As soon as they stepped out of the Teleportation Portal, Li Huailin summoned Millet. Although they had seen it once last night, it was a little dark at that time, so they couldn't see it clearly. Now that it was daytime, Wilken could see it clearly. It was really a living dragon. Although Wilken had sailed on the sea for a long time, he had never seen a real dragon. He was a little scared when he saw Millet.
However, Li Huailin didn't give him time to adapt. He immediately pulled him onto Millet's back. Wilken was an NPC, so of course, riding together was not a problem. However, the system didn't set a riding setting for NPCs, so Wilken was directly on Millet's back. Unlike Li Huailin, as long as he was riding, he wouldn't fall off.
Millet's speed was so fast that Wilken felt like a ship that had encountered a huge storm. He could only stick to Millet's back and couldn't get up at all.
"At this speed, can we reach the island today?" Li Huailin asked Wilken. Yes, two days had passed, and tomorrow was the third day. In other words, tomorrow was the day of the competition. If Li Huailin didn't settle the Vibranium matter today, it would be really troublesome.
"Yes … Yes." Wilken nodded with certainty. The speed was too fast. Compared to Millet, the ship was like a turtle crawling.
They continued to fly west from the port. After flying for a while, they could no longer see the mainland. At this time, they could only rely on Wilken to determine the direction. Wilken's method of determining the direction was probably similar to sailing. He probably used the position of the sun, the direction of the wind, and so on. Li Huailin didn't quite understand, but after a while, Wilken would ask Li Huailin to stop for a while, study it, and then point in a direction to continue.
The process was really a pain in the ass. During this time, Li Huailin also put Wilken on a small island nearby. He then went to have lunch and continued his search in the afternoon. The two of them kept flying in the air, searching for the Vibranium for the whole day. Seeing that it was almost four o 'clock, Li Huailin really couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Hey, hey, are you going to find it or not? Look at the sun." Li Huailin pointed at the sun in the sky, which was about to end its search. "Let me say this first, I'm going to use the raw Vibranium ore tomorrow. If I can't find it today, I'm really going to kill someone."
"Wait, I'm really going to find it soon," Wilken said immediately. "We're going in the right direction. I've seen several small islands before. Now that we're going this way, we'll be there soon."
"Is that so?" Li Huailin could only trust Wilken now. What else could he do? So they continued to move in the direction Wilken pointed out. After moving for a while, they finally saw a small island in front of them. According to Wilken, this was their destination.
Li Huailin didn't land immediately. Instead, he circled around the small island and looked at the situation. First of all, the island looked like a volcanic island because there seemed to be a crater in the middle of the island. Although there was no smoke, the concave area in the middle was obviously formed by the volcano.
Secondly, Li Huailin also saw that there were people on the island. There were some wooden houses on the island, which looked quite backward. These houses were concentrated on the coastal areas of the island. There were only a dozen houses in total, and the population was estimated to be only a few dozen people.
After circling around the island, the people on the island had gathered. After all, such a huge dragon appeared in the sky in broad daylight. Everyone would be nervous, so of course, they gathered together to think of a solution. Of course, that was also Li Huailin's purpose. He didn't want to wait for them to gather.
Seeing that the people were almost gathered, Li Huailin directly controlled Millet to land next to them. There was a loud thud, followed by a scream. Of course, the people on the island were frightened. At this time, Li Huailin also realized that the people on the island looked a little strange.
