The sea wind howled and the waves surged.
The Southern sailed northward against the waves like a hot knife through butter.
The Southern's relaunch this time had a lot of changes.
First was the name change. Although Ma Wen was not afraid of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce looking for trouble, it was better to avoid trouble.
On the side of the ship, the words "Sword Port One" were written in white paint.
Sword Port was the name of the new port that Ma Wen built at the estuary of the White River.
Coincidentally, Ma Wen had trouble naming things. After the new port was built, naming became a big problem.
Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that Lola had mentioned the name when she tricked the sailors into rebelling. He simply went with the flow and named the new port "Sword Port".
From the topography, the White River flowed straight into the sea, and the coastline at the estuary was in the shape of a cross, which was quite similar to a sword.
It gave off a feeling of showing off one's ability.
At the same time, Ma Wen also kept his original promise and promoted the former second mate, Robert, to the captain to be in charge of all the affairs of the ship.
Generally speaking, the captain of a ship had the most power on the ship.
What made Robert a little depressed was that among the people accompanying him, not to mention Viscount Ma Wen, whether it was Miss Anna or Miss Lola, they were all one rank higher than him.
This made the ambitious young captain feel a little annoyed.
Fortunately, Ma Wen and the others did not seem to intend to intervene in the affairs of the ship. Only Lola was responsible for the delivery of the goods, and Anna's trip to Bass Port was responsible for the administrative procedures.
The White River Valley of today was no longer what it used to be. After Ma Wen was promoted to viscount and his legend skyrocketed, the status of Anna, as Ma Wen's housekeeper, naturally rose as well.
To adapt to the rapid development of the White River Valley, Ma Wen simply distributed the power. Anna had followed him for the longest time and was the most loyal member. The administrative power of the White River Valley was basically in her hands.
The purpose of the "Southerner"'s visit to Bass Harbor was to open up a new route.
The opening of a new route had to be reported to the Southern Wizard Alliance. Otherwise, it would be illegal trade. Without the alliance's protection, it would be no different from a pirate ship.
This required Anna to display her talents. Ma Wen himself had long since stopped meddling in these trivial matters.
He just wanted to hitch a ride and help Sword Harbor No. 1, which was setting off for the first time.
He had the Sea Emperor's Crown in his hand, which could accelerate his control of the ocean currents and increase the speed of Sword Harbor No.1, greatly reducing the time needed to reach Bass Harbor.
His destination was not the Bass Port, but the Thousand Leaves Forest, which was very close to the Bass Port!
The Night Lord's tomb was right there.
Before leaving the White River Valley, Ma Wen had a discussion with the old blacksmith. The latter pondered for a long time and finally handed the key to Ma Wen.
Not many people knew about Hathaway, but the Legendary-level powerhouses seemed to have heard about it. Although the old blacksmith was not a legendary figure, his prestige was there, and he had connections with many legendary figures. He seemed to know about Ma Wen.
However, he did not say much and only told Ma Wen to be careful.
Ma Wen naturally understood.
To survive in this world, one had to be careful, especially for someone like him who often wandered between dangers.
Ma Wen had made a lot of enemies since he came to Fernand, and the Plane Traction Spell had caused a lot of trouble. He was afraid that the gods had their eyes on him.
Although they could not reach Fernand yet, there was always a way to trick Ma Wen.
So he had to be careful.
…
On the deck of Sword Harbor No. 1, Aragon staggered and looked at the waves in the distance, his face full of curiosity.
"You said you have never seen the sea before?"
Lola's eyes widened as she looked at the handsome prince: "Then what do you have there?"
Aragon shrugged and showed a gentle smile: "Forest, a lush forest."
"This world is really amazing, I have a lot of vocabulary that I need to cram. I have only seen the description of the sea in some royal books, but I have looked in all corners of Simpson's world. We only have lakes, there is no sea. "
Lola nodded slightly.
The two chatted for a while, and Aragon suddenly whispered to the lonely figure not far away:
"About Lord Ma Wen, do you know him?"
Lola was confused by the sudden question. She counted on her fingers and asked, "Yes.
She counted on her fingers and asked: "Younger than me, likes to be in the limelight, Pisces … Does this count as knowing him?"
Looking at Lola's serious expression, Aragon was speechless.
Is she serious?
The powerful Lord Ma Wen … In the eyes of this girl, is he such a simple young man?
Aragon was skeptical.
He was a man who could defeat the gods!
In Nottingham, there was no one who did not admire Lord Ma Wen. Of course, during his days in the White River Valley, he could also feel the love of the residents for Ma Wen.
However, what surprised him was that this kind of love was not a kind of worship.
At Lola's level, many people had a different view of Ma Wen.
The White River Valley's Chief Financial Officer's attitude towards Ma Wen was one of gratitude. Because he gave her the opportunity to use her talent.
Other than that, there was no other special emotion.
Aragon was more and more curious about Ma Wen.
He was about to continue to ask, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange wind.
The wind was mixed in with the sea breeze, and most people would not be able to detect it.
But Aragon was different!
He practiced the path of the Storm Swordsman, and had a special perception of the wind element!
He suddenly turned around and saw some faint shadows on the horizon in the distance.
"What is that!?" Aragon was shocked.
"Pirates."
He did not know when it started, but Ma Wen had already turned around and coldly stared at the shadows in the distance.
Aragon was slightly surprised.
He did not expect Ma Wen to notice these movements earlier than him.
Before he could ask what the word "pirates" meant, the ship suddenly became noisy!
The sailors were vaguely uneasy.
Obviously, the lookout also saw that the shadows were approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Robert's face was ashen as he quickly approached Ma Wen: "Sir, it's the [Black Sail Fleet]."
"This is the open sea, and their base should be in the northern islands of the Fog Sea. They should have robbed a group of merchant ships and are preparing to return."
"But if we let them catch up, they should not mind making this trip more rewarding!"
"Our speed is a little faster than them, but if Sir's servants can make a move …."
Robert was naturally referring to Ma Wen's Storm Elves.
With the Storm Elves, the Black Sail Fleet would not be able to catch up.
Who knew that Ma Wen shook his head and immediately said:
"Get ready for battle."
