Crackle crackle!
Without a sound, all the fixed ropes were cut.
The giant anchor was slowly pulled up.
Hualala, under the urging of the second mate, the remaining sailors raised the sails, wishing that they could be used as two people.
The entire ship was now under Ma Wen's control.
But it was not safe now. They were still at the docks of Dark Dock Port. Marvin had never done something like this in his past life. This time, he only dared to do this because of the Wilderness Expansion Order and the fact that the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce had captured Lola.
Even if the Southern Wizard Alliance wanted to arbitrate, he had the Nine Moons Medal to fight against the White Elephant Merchant Guild.
No matter what, he was determined to get this ship!
Just like the other ships, the navigator was a priest from the Silver Church. This cowardly guy immediately betrayed Ma Wen under the double temptation of money and machete. When Ma Wen suggested that he could get Collins to promote him in the Silver Church, he became very enthusiastic.
Although it was night time, the port's lighthouse was still there. The stars were still in the sky, so it was not difficult to find the direction.
As long as they could escape from the port and reach the sea, everything would be simple.
But it was not that easy to escape from the port.
The port was a closed port, so the water gates were closed at night. To open the water gates, one must have a pass and normal travel qualifications.
Obviously, the Southern ship that Ma Wen robbed did not have normal travel qualifications.
Although they could drive the ship away, they had to get permission from the people on duty at the port.
That would require some underhanded methods.
…
On the duty lighthouse of the port.
Two bored soldiers were playing cards.
It was the middle of the night, and no one would sail the ship. They had nothing to do, so it was normal for them to play cards.
"Motherf * cker, I lost again." One of them cursed.
However, at this moment, the other man suddenly stood up.
"What the hell? Are you crazy? "The other man was obviously in a bad mood after losing and cursed.
"Something's wrong! Why is there a ship coming our way? "
The soldier on duty saw the light shining in the darkness.
These lights corresponded to the corresponding flag signals, which meant that they were to open the gate of Dark Dock Port.
"It's the Southern, the ship of the White Elephant Merchant Guild."
"Something's not right. They just entered the port a few days ago. The record says that they will set sail two days later."
"Why are you sailing so late at night?"
The two soldiers looked at each other in dismay. They both sensed something strange about the situation.
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Open the gate." The man quickly said, "The South has a temporary mission. It has to go to Whirlwind Port in the south to pick up a batch of goods."
"Move faster."
Captain George!
Seeing Captain George's appearance, the doubts in their hearts were slightly reduced.
After all, everyone knew that the captain of the Southerner was the third son of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce's owner, George.
"But … this is against the rules …"
One of the soldiers said hesitantly.
However, before he finished speaking, another soldier suddenly elbowed him in the stomach!
The latter bent over in pain, and his companion gave him another karate chop.
He fainted completely.
"Don't worry, sir. We'll open the gate for you immediately." The soldier said flatteringly, "Sir Munding of the White Elephant Merchant Guild is very kind to us. We'll definitely take care of such a small matter for you."
Ma Wen was stunned.
After using disguise and the Deceiver's Mask, he looked exactly like George, and the difference in size was erased in the darkness.
He had wanted to bluff the two soldiers on duty.
He did not expect that one of them was on his side.
'The White Elephant Merchant Guild has bribed quite a number of soldiers at the port …' Ma Wen snickered inwardly. He nodded and tossed a Wizard Gold Coin over.
"That's for the best. The goods in the south won't wait for anyone."
The soldier nodded and bowed. "Understood, don't worry."
"I'll take care of everything for you. I'll make this fellow shut up. "
Ma Wen nodded and disappeared into the darkness.
…
At the dock of Dark Dock Port, the sluice gate was opened without a sound.
The people on the South looked at each other. They did not expect that Sir Ma Wen would settle everything in such a short time!
"Sir Ma Wen is as amazing as the legends say."
"Yes, as long as we leave the port, there will be no problem."
"Miss Lola did not lie to us!"
The sailors discussed excitedly in low voices.
"Enough nonsense, set sail!" Ma Wen's figure appeared on the ship again.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
The sails were raised to the highest point, and the helmsman steered the South out of Dark Dock, plunging into the vast sea!
…
"Sir, which direction are we going?"
In the brightly lit captain's cabin, the white-bearded navigator asked in a flattering manner.
Ma Wen looked at the gradually disappearing coastline and finally reported a coordinate!
The navigator listened and spread out the sea map. Using the compass to compare, his expression changed drastically. "You're crazy!"
The next second, the scimitar was on the navigator's neck again.
"You'd better not question my decision."
"Going to that place is the best way."
Ma Wen said coldly.
The priest of the Church of Silver said with a bitter expression, "But that is a cursed place. If the crew finds out …"
"They won't know. We will only stay on that island for a while," Ma Wen said calmly. "Apart from me, no one will go to the island."
"And apart from you, no one knows where that place is, right?"
The navigator smiled bitterly and nodded.
At this moment, two sailors suddenly shouted in a hurry, "There's a ship behind us!"
"They are faster than us!"
Ma Wen smiled coldly. "Now, do you have any other route to choose?"
The priest was silent. As Ma Wen said, there were two ships behind them. If they took a normal route, they would definitely be caught.
Only by going to the place Ma Wen mentioned would there be hope.
He gritted his teeth and quickly left the captain's cabin to find the helmsman.
On the vast sea, the South began to deviate from its original route and head southeast.
…
"They changed course!"
"Damn, something must have gone wrong."
On the sea, the two ships of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce closely followed the lonely shadow in the distance.
They were both ships of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce. They immediately sensed that something was wrong and immediately gave chase.
They were indeed much faster than the South. This was because their ships were equipped with Wind Wizards!
This profession sounded very famous, but it was actually just a profession for magic apprentices who lacked the talent to become wizards.
The purpose of their existence was to provide powerful wind power for the sails. This way, they could sail much faster.
Of course, because they were driven by Wind Wizards, they wouldn't last very long. They could be used to chase ships in the short term, but not in the long term.
After the South changed course, they could only helplessly chase after it.
Two hours later, the two sides were getting closer.
But at this moment, a thick fog suddenly rose from the sea!
"Not good, we're approaching that sea."
The captains of the two ships realized that something was wrong!
Near the entire east coast, only the cursed sea would be shrouded in such fog all year round!
The superstitious legends about this sea began to surface in the captains' minds.
To chase or not to chase?
This became a big problem.
The Wind Wizards were exhausted, but the South was right in front of them.
The captains of the two ships discussed briefly and decided to continue the chase!
After all, they were already so close!
But at this moment, a sailor suddenly shouted, "Captain, the South is speeding up!"
Speeding up?
How was that possible?
The two captains were stunned. There were no Wind Wizards on the South, so how could it suddenly accelerate?
But when they rushed to the deck, they saw that the South was shaking them off at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Without hesitation, it charged towards the cursed sea!
With the current speed of both sides, it would take at most two hours to completely shake off the two ships behind it!
After all, the fog on the sea was too thick. Once visibility was reduced, once they lost the target, they could only rely on luck and experience to intercept it.
Helpless, the two captains could only give the order to return.
They did not want to be buried with the South.
It was a course of no return!
… …
On the deck of the South, there was a burst of cheers!
They could also see that the two ships had finally given up the chase.
They were finally free!
Everyone's gazes towards Ma Wen were bordering on superstition!
From worship at the beginning, to fear, and now to superstition. Ma Wen had only used less than half a day!
At this moment, on the sail of the Southerner, a petite figure was joyfully releasing her power!
A Storm Sprite!
It was Ma Wen's first servant.
When he passed through the Screaming Mountains, he had accidentally discovered that the gift given to him by Hathaway had already been successfully conceived.
The newly born Storm Sprite already had outstanding strength.
As Ma Wen's servant, its loyalty to Ma Wen was unquestionable.
A Level 1 Storm Sprite naturally had two abilities, one of which was controlling the wind!
In this aspect, it was almost instinctive, much stronger than those Wind Wizards!
As soon as the Storm Sprite appeared, it immediately pulled away from the ships behind.
The South madly sailed towards the target sea area.
Ma Wen stood at the bow of the ship, coldly staring at the sea.
As time passed, the sailors slowly recovered from their initial excitement.
The thick fog on the sea still did not dissipate, which made them somewhat suspicious.
However, due to Ma Wen's prestige, no one dared to slack off.
That night, everyone was so tired that they almost collapsed.
It was not until dawn that the thick fog slightly weakened. But at this moment, the lookout sitting on the cable suddenly screamed.
"Heavens! Where the hell did we go?! "
Hearing this, Ma Wen immediately controlled the Ruyi Rope and arrived at the lookout's position in a few swings.
He snatched the bronze mirror from the lookout's hand and looked into the distance.
Although the thick fog blocked his vision, he could still clearly see the coastline of the island.
Pearl Island!
Ma Wen revealed a trace of a smile.
We're finally here.
