Three days later, Reynolds arrived at the port of the Fallen Moon Empire.
After asking the relevant personnel about the specific route and date, Reynolds decided to set out to sea today.
The passenger ship that set out at nine in the morning at the Empire's port was the first ship of the day — the Clark.
He didn't bring any luggage because he didn't need to.
Reynolds boarded the huge ship, the Clark.
Following the long cry of the deep-sea giant whale that pulled the ship, the Clark officially set out on its journey!
Reynolds stood on the deck and looked at the people on the ship with a leisurely expression. Reynolds was a bit seasick. Not to mention the Kings' Realm, even on Earth, Reynolds had never sat on a ship.
Leaning on the railing and enjoying the sea breeze could effectively relieve the nausea.
Madam Black Scorpion died three days ago and Reynolds buried her under a tree.
Holding the Apocalypse Bracelet that he had lost and recovered, Reynolds had a complicated feeling in his heart.
This could be considered his second personal adventure. His state of mind should have improved once again. Reynolds was silent. After coming to this world, his own adventures had started to increase. He was also gradually becoming a person.
He took out his phone from the bracelet and looked at the messages. Lin Ling still hadn't replied to him. Reynolds frowned, not knowing what the situation was over there.
"Damn it! What the hell happened?!"
Reynolds fiercely punched the railing and his fist started to bleed.
While he was lost in his thoughts, ten hours had already passed, and the sky was gradually darkening. They were already very far away from the Fallen Moon Empire's port.
The next destination was the Heavenly Luan Port, the first port of the Tang Dynasty!
It was very far away from the Fallen Moon Empire.
Even if they rode the Clark that was carried by the deep-sea giant whale, it would still take a full week to reach the distant Heavenly Luan Port!
In other words, they would have to stay on this ship for a whole week.
After dinner, Reynolds was still standing on the railing and looking at the sea breeze. He didn't have any appetite and swore that he would never sit on a ship again.
At this time, Reynolds's expression suddenly changed and he looked gloomily into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, a few faint shadows suddenly appeared in the dense fog in the distance.
Because the entire ship was in fact a living creature, there was no need to worry about the submerged reef. Therefore, no one paid much attention to the distance. It was only when the shadows gradually approached that they were discovered.
After receiving the report, Captain Wang Jianxing immediately led the Three-Eyed Race's scouts to the high observation deck. However, the fog in the night was too thick. Even with the Three-Eyed Race's eyesight, they could not see the flag on the mast. They could only helplessly say, "I'm sorry, Captain Wang Jianxing. Before the distance between the two sides is shortened, I can't make an accurate report for the time being!"
Wang Jianxing frowned. "Who could it be? There shouldn't be any passenger ships passing through Fadora at the same time as us. The Liubu should arrive at least an hour later. Could it be a caravan? " He was an experienced captain and knew the departure time, speed, and meeting places of the ships in this area like the back of his hand. Other than trade caravans, trade caravans did not have any rules to speak of. As long as it was for profit, they could set sail at any time.
Wang Jianxing immediately made a preliminary judgment based on the fact that it was different from an ordinary ship. It was most likely to be a caravan. Moreover, it was not uncommon for two ships to set sail together, but it was rare for more than three ships to set sail together. Only trade caravans would set sail in groups.
The black shadow approached at an alarming speed. The scouts of the Three-Eyed Race finally saw the symbol of their flagship clearly. In the middle of the pitch-black flag, there was a gloomy skull. In front of the skull, there were two bloody machetes. Bright red blood seemed to be dripping down from the machetes. It was a ghastly sight.
The scout could not help but cry out, "Black Viper …" However, before he could finish his words, a strong wind broke through the thick fog and pierced through his most proud and fragile third eye. White and red things splattered everywhere. The scout did not even have time to make a sound before he died tragically on the spot. His other two eyes were wide open, and he died with remaining grievances.
It happened suddenly. Wang Jianxing was scared out of his wits. Although he did not hear the last word the scout was unable to say before he died, he could guess what it was. He cried out in horror, "The Black Skeleton Pirates!" Then he stumbled and rolled down the observation deck in a panic, afraid that he would follow in the scout's footsteps if he was late. He shouted loudly, "Guards, guards, quick, raise the barrier and gather everyone together. We've run into the Black Skeleton Pirates! "
Pirates also existed on the continent, a profession that earned a living by plundering other people's belongings. To be exact, they could not be considered a profession because they had not been verified by the relevant guilds. They were illegal gangs.
Criminals who escaped from various countries were not all willing to change their surnames and live out the rest of their lives in mediocrity. Many of them had the blood of battle flowing in their bodies, so they spontaneously organized themselves.
The vast and boundless sea became a hotbed for them to avoid capture and continue to commit crimes, continuing to live a dangerous and exciting life. When these small groups grew stronger. After they had developed organizational discipline, they became pirate groups.
The imperial court management along the coast had always had an ambiguous attitude toward pirates because the main component of pirates were criminals. They all had considerable strength and were difficult to deal with. Today, they had developed into a force that could not be ignored. If the surrounding Tang Dynasty and Luoyue Empire were dragons, then these pirates were the local snakes of the sea. Anyone who provoked them would be bitten back.
Moreover, the sea was vast and boundless, and it would take a lot of manpower and resources to hunt down pirates. Now that the situation of the war was extremely delicate, no one was willing to attract new enemies for no reason. Moreover, there were more neutral small countries around the sea that did not belong to the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, if they could use pirates who were good at naval warfare, it might have a miraculous effect.
Therefore, the various countries turned a blind eye and adopted a policy similar to "enlistment". It was even rumored that the Luoyue Empire and the Tang Dynasty had privately reached an agreement with many powerful pirate groups near the Tianluan Sea within their borders, acquiescing to their right to plunder. As long as they did not go too far, they would not interfere.
It was not that Wang Jianxing had never met pirates in his previous career, but ordinary pirates had some morals. As long as the robbed side surrendered, they would only take money and not kill. However, the Black Skeleton Pirates were definitely different from ordinary pirate groups. They were known for their violent nature, and every single one of them was inhumane. Wherever the Black Skeleton Flag passed by, they would slaughter everyone. Even women, children, the elderly, and the weak were not spared. It was one of the most notorious pirate groups on the sea that made people tremble in fear.
