In the calm sailing, the outline of a small island gradually appeared in Yarlin's sight. There were a few big white birds fluttering on the golden beach at the edge of the coast. The two-masted wooden ship docked at the shore, the anchor was thrown out and smashed into the sand together with the rope.
"Shields Town!"
Yarlin faintly looked at the rolling buildings in the distance. The highest point was the wall of the fortress. A flag was erected in the middle of the raised platform. The background color was white, and in the middle was a seagull holding a scale in its mouth. It symbolized the maintenance of the world's peace and justice.
The black flagpole stood tall as if it was piercing through the sky, giving the white "seagull" a stern and awe-inspiring aura.
The Naval Branch, the ruler of Shields Town.
"From the sea map, Shields Town is located in the center of a group of islands. Its power can radiate to the surrounding area." Yarlin took out the sea map from his bosom. After thinking for a while, he pointed at a small island marked as "Frost Moon Village" to Ka Ba. "Your identity is not suitable to stay here. You go to this island first. After I return to the Naval Branch and finish the handover, I will find a chance to look for you later."
"Okay!"
Ka Ba was originally kidnapped by Yarlin. At this moment, of course, he did not hesitate to agree. He did not even have the intention to get off the ship and began to pull the anchor.
"The two of them will follow you." Yarlin pointed at the two slaves. After passing a clear and simple command in his mind, he glanced at Fick and jumped off the ship. Fick behind him grinned and also jumped off the ship. Out of the six slaves, two of them stood at the side of the ship like machines. They stared at Ka Ba with indifferent eyes. The remaining four slaves quickly and quietly got off the ship and followed behind Fick without saying a word.
"Phew …."
Ka Ba turned his head and looked at the slave's emotionless eyes. He felt a faint chill in his heart. He felt a wave of evil. These ten days of sailing made him feel the strangeness of these "murlocs".
She never spoke and was always expressionless. The coldness that was constantly emitted made him feel an inexplicable palpitation the more he came into contact with her.
Retracting his gaze, Kabbalah pulled back the anchor and turned the rudder. Two cold gazes were staring at his back. He didn't need to turn his head to know that the two figures were like two wooden pillars that stopped five meters behind him. The distance between them was just the distance of one step.
"You can rest in the cabin. We are about to set sail. I think it will take about three days to reach Frost Moon Island from here." Ka Ba squeezed out a dry smile.
There was a silent response.
"Alright, then let's enjoy the sea breeze together, hehehe ~" Ka Ba turned his head in despair, and mechanically controlled the rudder. The boat gradually sailed away, and slowly disappeared from the shore.
Yarlin was sure that Ka Ba didn't have the courage to escape, so he naturally didn't need to let him stay in the town of Shields. Not to mention his identity as a Marine was not confirmed yet. He still needed to make some moves. In order to avoid some bad misunderstandings, of course he had to deal with the other side.
After 30 minutes of walking, the group walked into the town. The buildings were all painted white. The whole town looked clean and the second impression was deserted.
This deserted did not mean that the population of the town was small, but there were very few pedestrians on the streets. Even if there were, they were walking in a hurry. There were very few noisy scenes. It was as if there was a stone pressing on everyone's heart. The white sky was shrouded in an invisible haze, and the air was floating with oppressive dust.
"An island guarded by a Marine should not be visited by pirates. Why is it so deserted?" Yarlin observed as he walked. The passers-by along the way occasionally looked up at them, but they quickly retracted their gaze and walked quickly with their heads down.
"Interesting!"
Yarlin thought. He immediately made a judgment in his heart. The atmosphere of the town must be caused by the 153 Naval Branch. To put it bluntly, Colonel Monca seemed to be more "great" than he had expected.
He looked up at the "seagull" flag fluttering over the town with a playful smile on his face. The scene before Via's death appeared in his mind. He was now convinced that Via should not be lying. At least, this Colonel Monca of the 153 Naval Branch was not associated with the word "justice".
"Isn't it good to stand out." Yarlin was carrying a cloth bag in his hand. The cloth bag contained a closed wooden box. When he walked, it exuded a moldy lime smell.
Fick followed behind and looked around curiously. The four slaves each carried a gunny sack and remained silent. Occasionally, some people from the shops along the street would look over.
"Awoo!"
A strange cry came from afar. Yarlin could clearly feel the bodies of the passers-by trembling. The frequency of their footsteps quickened. Some of the shops along the street slammed their doors shut.
"Yarlin, something's not right." Fick frowned.
"Hmm." Yarlin narrowed his eyes and looked at the blurry wall at the end of the road. The sound came from the 153 Naval Branch. He stopped and looked around unhurriedly. Then, he quickly walked to the side. There, a man was sneakily poking his head out. When he saw Yarlin walking towards him, he was shocked and quickly tried to close the door.
As for the door, it was an iron door that was closed and bolted from the inside. Just as he closed one of the doors, Fick reached out and pressed the other door against the wall with an evil grin on his face.
The man tried to pull the door, but it did not budge. He looked at Fick with sweat on his forehead and gulped. "What are you doing?"
"Don't be nervous. We are outsiders." Yarlin stared at the man and said in a gentle tone, "We don't mean any harm. We just want to find a place to stay. I see that your yard is quite big."
The yard was relatively empty. There was a rusty iron shelf in the middle. Some bicycle chains and screws were on the shelf. Some old tires were piled up in the corner. There were also some repaired bicycles. A boy with a dark face was holding a screwdriver in his hand and looking at them with fear.
"We don't mean any harm. We just want to stay here for a while. Don't worry, we will pay." Yarlin took out a stack of green coins from his pocket and forced them into the man's hand.
As for staying in hostels and hotels, Ya Erlin had already suffered once on Rainbow Rock Island. He wouldn't make the same mistake a second time. Who knew what kind of spies existed in that kind of place? In comparison, it was safer to stay in the homes of the locals.
"Awoo …"
This time, the voice seemed to be closer, followed by an unbridled and perverse response that seemed to fill the road. Ya Erlin clearly felt the man's hand tremble as he gripped the money. Then, he stepped aside and said quickly, "You guys come in first."
As soon as Yarlin and his party walked in, the man immediately closed the iron door and fastened the latch. Yarlin's eyes finally saw a blurry blond figure on the road, walking with exaggerated steps. Behind him, there seemed to be two tall navy men …
