Chapter 35: I Know a Little
Shirley was flying in the air, and Radish was under the effect of Lilith’s floating spell. It was tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to Shirley’s body.
Although the floating spell can make people fly, their movement speed is rather slow, hence they had to tie Radish to Shirley. As Shirley flew at a subsonic speed forward, Radish was pulled along like a balloon.
Radish was very panicked, her horseshoes kept thrashing around, screaming in terror.
“Silence!”
Shirley was displeased by the noisiness of Radish and scolded her, causing the mare to immediately quiet down.
“It’s just ahead, Master.”
Shirley has an auto-navigation function. The more information she has about the target, the clearer she can perceive it.
Of course, miracles are the exception. Their power and nature negate Shirley’s tracking ability.
“I see it.”
It was a vast port. Bai Luo rode Shirley, taking Radish and Issafeiya along, and flew downward like a meteor.
Issafeiya looked very calm, her expression didn’t even fluctuate.
Radish on the other hand was so terrified that her legs turned soft.
“Lilith!”
The moment Bai Luo’s voice sounded, Lilith immediately flew down.
“Oh?”
The old man, who was standing near the Viper Gang’s ship, suddenly felt a stream of light flowing in his eyes.
He sharply raised his head and immediately saw Bai Luo and Issafeiya, who were originally invisible, became clearer and clearer.
“They’re back, board the ship.”
The old man ordered, Noel and Jerah didn’t see Bai Luo, but since the old uncle said they were going, the two immediately dispersed.
The old man led a large number of people and boarded the largest ship.
Jerah took her brother John and boarded another one. Finally, Noel and his sister Fiore boarded the third ship.
“Who are you, people? What are you doing here?”
There were still many Viper Gang thugs on the ship.
Lilith fell quickly from the sky, flying over the three ships at an amazing speed.
An invisible magic barrier shrouded the three ships, making the passersby originally attracted by the sudden noise immediately forget about it and return to their business.
The three ships have been enveloped by an optical and psychological double barrier. No matter what happens inside, outsiders will not notice anything.
“This ship has been requisitioned by us.”
Uncle Saros announced their ownership over the ship to everyone on the deck.
“Ha ha ha ha…”
The thugs were amused by uncle Saros’s words, “Is this old guy crazy?”
“Hey, old man, are you looking for death?”
A thug stepped forward and scolded uncle Saros, followed by a sudden attack. He waved the pirate sword in his hand, viciously slashing it at the old man’s neck.
“puff!!”
However, just when the thugs’ eyes were filled with playfulness, ready to watch a good show, the thug covered his neck and hastily retreated.
“Cough, cough you…”
“Poof!”
The thug fell on the ground, his blood flowed along the deck. This scene deeply stimulated the Viper gang thugs who were watching.
“Kill him!”
Looking at the rushing-up enemies, uncle Saros’s expression didn’t fluctuate.
Instead of drawing his own weapon, he rushed towards the nearest thug at lightning speed, quickly unarmed him, took his weapons, and decapitated him.
Next, it was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, a massacre. When Bai Luo and Shirley landed on the deck, all they saw was a pile of corpses.
“Uncle, your skills haven’t dulled.”
Bai Luo smiled and walked to uncle Saros, but the old man shook his head and said,
“I’m old and weak now, I can’t fight like in the past.”
Well, uncle Saros’s old and weak = massacring 30 or 40 fierce thugs in less than a minute.
Saros: ‘I am a stable old man, and a stable old man wouldn’t be proud of such a trivial matter’
“The task here has been completed too, boss!”
Noel shouted from the third ship, and Jerah also waved,
“Here too!”
Due to the smaller size of the other two ships, they had fewer people, hence they were easy to capture with Noel and Jerah’s strength.
“Come on board, everyone!”
Bai Luo told everyone to pull the wagon into the ships.
After making sure that everyone was there, Bai Luo loudly said,
“It’s time to sail!”
“…”
However, after a while, no one had moved. Bai Luo was a bit confused,
“What’s the matter, why haven’t we set sail yet?”
Although all the enemies have been eliminated, to prevent any variables, it’s better to quickly leave.
“They can’t.”
The old man helplessly said,
“Feiya, teach them how to retract the sails.”
The Ardennes had mostly resided in the deep mountains and forests. Among the current Ardennes, few had ever set foot on a boat, and even fewer knew how to sail.
Fortunately, uncle Saros can sail, so can Issafeiya, and grandpa Mountain Weng, to a lesser extent.
Hence, the old man asked Issafeiya to stay on the boat, then caught a rope and swung himself to Jerah’s ship. Afterward, he instructed everyone to lower the sails, then took over the helm himself.
“Raise the anchor!”
Just like that, the three ships slowly sailed away from the port under the control of the Ardennes.
During the whole process, no one in the port seemed surprised.
It’s just three ships going to sea. What’s strange about this? Isn’t it a common thing?
When the ships sailed for over 10 kilometers, Bai Luo knew that they had escaped the confines of the Iron Eagle Kingdom.
They are free!
“Ha ha ha ha…”
Bai Luo laughed out loudly, and the Ardennes also started cheering.
“We have finally left that cursed kingdom!”
“We are free!”
“…”
The Iron Eagle Kingdom has strong control over land.
Especially those seven miracle masters, even Bai Luo didn’t dare to fight against them now.
However, the Iron Eagle Kingdom does not have a strong navy.
As for the development of marine resources, these blockheads hadn’t even considered such a thing yet.
However, thinking about it, with the presence of the infinitely powerful miracles in this world, oceans and all mortal resources are really useless to them.
Could there be anyone who would dive into the depths of the sea to look for miracles?
“Splash!”
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
The Ardennes found the tool in the ship and started scrubbing the deck, cleaning it from blood and grim.
Although these three ships have been robbed, they are now their property. As their ships, they naturally have to take care of them.
“Okay, the cleaning is almost done.”
“Everyone, take a rest.”
Bai Luo told the crowd to start a fire to cook. There is a special kitchen in the cabin of this ship. Naturally, they should treat themselves.
Diana was overjoyed upon seeing the kitchen,
“I’ll do it! I’ll do it! No one is allowed to snatch this task!”
Arden’s married women volunteered to prepare lunch. They divided the tasks and started working, vowing to show Bai Luo and the others their skills.
After lunch, the children were all taken by Lilith to the deck of the big ship, which had a large space.
They surrounded Lilith, watching her perform all kinds of marvelous tricks using her fairy magic. It was extremely interesting to them.
“How long will it take…”
“Father has been there before, he said that it should take about ten days.”
“Hmm, ten days, it’s about right.”
With the speed of their ship, they can cross at least 3000 kilometers within ten days. Keeping such a distance from the main continent is optimal. Even if there’s an incoming fleet, they would have the time to prepare.
“Tell Shirley to come down, next we just have to follow the map.”
Issafeiya fixed the rudder of the ship. They intend to travel east for a while, then correct their ship’s positioning.
Shirley was originally helping them escort and navigate the ship, but that’s not necessary for now.
In addition, Shirley’s real mission is to deal with the sea monsters in the sea.
These creatures are just like their land counterparts, terrifying beings of unknown origin, most of which don’t exist in Bai Luo’s past life. They are completely fantastical monsters.
Sea behemoths are one of the dangers of the sea.
However, most of them are active in the deep layers of the ocean. Only when storms come will they run to the surface to attack ships, bringing forth terrifying disasters.
“It doesn’t seem that a storm will appear.”
“At least not within the next few days.”
“Uncle, can you even tell this?”
“I know a little about this, just a bit.”
Uncle Saros has also set sail in the sea during his youth. He has very rich sailing experience and is a top-class navigator.
It seems that one of uncle Saros’s seemingly endless skills has been unlocked——Navigator.
“Even if we encounter a storm, we have the blessing of miracles.”
The old man is not afraid of sea behemoths. Those creatures might have a terrifying size, but they aren’t much stronger than the monsters hiding in the deep mountains.
Whether it’s him, Issafeiya, or Bai Luo, they can deal with them.
Not to mention their trump cards, Lilith and Shirley.
“Ok.”
If it wasn’t for the presence of Shirley and Lilith, Bai Luo wouldn’t have dared to sail on the sea with so many people so rashly and without any preparations at all.
He has to acknowledge that miracles had indeed greatly boosted their confidence.
“Shirley, come down and take a rest.”
Bai Luo called Shirley back through their soul connection.
“Master, Shirley isn’t tired, I can continue flying for a while.”
“We might encounter other ships, it’s better to be careful,”
Bai Luo seriously said,
“When it’s evening, you can fly as much as you want.”
“Okay, master.”
Shirley cheerfully flew down. She isn’t a real horse, naturally, she isn’t going to stay in the cabin along with other horses. She landed on the deck, then mingled with the children.
“Shirley, you’re so pretty!”
“Your hair is so white and glowy!”
A group of children about five or six years old, led by little Helen, leaped on the body of the kneeling Shirley and started acting like spoiled children.
Shirley’s preference will always follow that of her master. Since Bai Luo loves these children, so does she. Conversely, Shirley loathes the people that Bai Luo hates.
Therefore, Shirley is very happy to be loved and admired by the people she needs to protect.
