The waves of the sea wind were howling and tumbling, the black clouds of the sky were shining with electric light and thunder, and the tiny Oak was like a lonely flat boat in the face of the violent power of nature, struggling to escape from the boiling waters, as if it could capsize and drown in the endless deep sea at any moment.

Pross walked silently in the dark and damp swaying veranda, his mood seemed to be a little depressed and heavy under the influence of the bad weather environment, although he was used to the ravages of the storm, but no one could guarantee whether there would be any accidents in the next moment.

He cherished his ship, but even more so his crew.

Anfil followed behind Pross, his steps were light and fluttering, because of his thin body, so he would sway under the roll of the waves with every step he took, and sometimes he would hit the thick wooden walls on both sides if he didn't pay attention, unlike Pros, whose steps were as steady as walking on the ground, which was really incredible.

Knock knock knock -

When they came to Lord Charan's lounge, Pros knocked on the wooden door, and before long, the wooden door opened, and Adelina greeted them with a smile on her face.

Xia Lan leaned back against the edge of the low and humble bed, the flickering candlelight reflected his pale and indifferent face, but there was a strange light in the dark and deep eyes that looked at Pros.

"Your Excellency Xia Lan, I'm sorry I'm late."

GLP respectfully apologized as soon as he entered the door.

"Understood." Xia Lan nodded, and said with a nonchalant look.

"I don't know what is the important matter for His Excellency Xia Lan to call me over?"

GLP got straight to the point, glancing around the room out of the corner of his eye.

"Captain Pross, I ask you to change course." Xia Lan said in a calm voice.

"Change course?" GLP looked stunned. Subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

Xia Lan did not give an answer. Instead, he thought to himself: "How long will it take if we go to Monterres now?" ”

"Half a month at the earliest." GLP took a deep breath and said, "Your Excellency. Here I have a question, do you know what kind of place Montrex is? ”

"Of course." Xia Lan glanced at him lightly and said, "And I know better than you think." ”

Montres is a place name, and it is located in the Elderancy of the continent of Grenada and the Duchy of Sivir at the intersection of the coast, due to the historical reasons of the long-term hostility between the two countries, the new moon in 1037, the commander of the Grenada regiment stationed in Montres Bristov-on-Don held high the anti-flag of freedom and peace to declare independence, which immediately shocked the surrounding countries, and Grenada sent troops to quell the rebellion in anger. It turned out that the rebellion of Bristov-on-Don had the covert instigation and support of the Duchy of Sivel, the purpose of which was to weaken the national power that divided Grenada and intensify internal conflict, so as to take the opportunity to defeat Grenada in one fell swoop in this long-term conspiracy of civil strife.

However, the Duchy of Sivir did not expect that when they helped Bristov defeat the counterinsurgency army in Grenada and launched a full-scale invasion, Bristov turned around and attacked the Duchy of Sivir, which completely disrupted the strategic deployment of the Duchy of Sivir and led the invasion to fail. Even its own territory allowed Blistov to occupy a small part.

It was later learned that Grenada had failed in counterinsurgency. After the full-scale invasion of Sivir, they sent envoys to reach a secret agreement with Bristov, and they persuaded Bristov-on-Don to send troops to the Duchy of Sivir on the premise that the independence of Monteres would not be pursued, but several years after Sivir's defeat, Grenada broke its original promise to attack Bristov-on-Don again, but the Grenadians failed again, because Bristov-on-Don exchanged the territory of Sivir for the help of the Duchy of Sivir.

For nearly 100 years, Montrées has oscillated between Grenada and the Duchy of Sivel, thus effectively gaining independence, but it has never been recognized.

Due to its location on the coast, the Monteres people with poor arable land resources can only rely on trade to maintain normal living needs, but in a certain period of history, when Grenada and Siwell joined forces to launch a trade blockade, the Montrées were so bold that they organized countless pirates to attack the merchant ships on the west coast, and sometimes even launched attacks on coastal cities, which led to the danger of everyone in the west coast for a while. The trade blockade was lifted only after Grenada and Sivir were compelled to do so, but the Montrés seemed to have tasted the sweetness of piracy, and with the covert support of the Montréx officials, Montrés had become a pirate paradise that countless merchants feared.

Although Montré is known for its peace and freedom, it has actually become a criminal paradise for countless adventurers, and as long as you abide by the law and order of Montrés, no matter what crimes you commit elsewhere, the Montré government will not hold you accountable.

The countries of the west coast have jointly condemned Monteres's behavior, and even threatened with force, but in the end it ended in nothing, because no one wants to take a huge risk to directly offend a pirate country that has formed a climate, in case Montelles attacks the cities on the west coast regardless of a qiē, the losses caused will definitely make them regret it, and the West Coast country can only vigorously develop naval armaments. In the face of the growing naval power of the West Coast countries, Montelles began to rein in its unbridled piracy.

Therefore, Monteres is definitely a forbidden place to avoid in the eyes of maritime merchants.

"Your Excellency Charan, since you know what kind of place Montreis is, I also have to think about the lives and safety of my crew!" GLP said in a deep voice.

"Captain Pross, do you think the people from Montres have what it takes to threaten us?" Xia Lan said lightly.

Pross breathed for a while, and his body and mind couldn't help but feel depressed, he glanced at Adelina who was standing obediently next to Xia Lan, shook his head and said, "I know that with the strength of Your Excellency and Miss Adrina, you are indeed not afraid of Monteres, but what about after we arrive in Monteres to see you off?" As a captain, I had to think about these things. ”

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Xia Lan said with a faint look in her eyes: "Or, do you want to go against our deal?" ”

"Don't dare!" GLP hurriedly bowed his head.

"Since I don't dare. Then do as I tell you. Xia Lan waved her hand lightly.

“…… If you don't have anything else to do. I retired first. Pross said expressionlessly.

"Hmm."

Hear the other person's answer. Proston turned to leave, but knocked Anfil down behind him.

"Anphil! Let's go! ”

GLP didn't care about the situation after Anfil fell, he directly reached out and grabbed him and quickly opened the wooden door and left.

"Mr. Charan, why are we going to Monteres? Listening to your conversation with Captain GLP, it seems like a dangerous place? After Adelina closed the wooden door, she looked at Xia Lan with some curiosity and confusion.

"It's a dangerous place for the faint of heart, but it's a wonderful place for the brave." Xia Lan coughed lightly and said, "As for why you went to Monteres." Because only Montrés is the safest place for us. ”

"Mr. Charan...... Is it because of me......" Adelina seemed to understand the meaning of Charan's words.

As Charlan's health gradually recovered, he asked Adlina many things, including the horrific news of her destruction of Port Louis with her own hands.

However, when he heard this, he seemed unusually calm, except that there was always a mysterious depth in his gaze when he looked at Adelinea.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Xia Lan deliberately didn't talk about it, and her tone was understated.

"But......" But Adelina still felt guilty and uneasy.

"No, but! Aderina! As long as you're by my side, I won't let you get hurt in any way. Charan interrupted her thoughts rudely.

"Hmm."

Adrina came to his side and quietly leaned on Xia Lan's shoulder.

"That's right! You go and see what is going on with Magnison under the cabin, and by the way, take him to some other relatively safe place. I don't want him to die inexplicably in this storm. "Charland.

"Okay, Mr. Charan, you take care of yourself. I'll be back soon. Adelina nodded obediently, left a word of concern, and walked out of the room.

As Adelinea's footsteps faded away, Charan rose from the bed, walked slowly to the corner of the room, bent down, and reached out to pull out the hard bread that was holding Winnie's mouth.

"I know you're awake."

Winnie's closed eyes opened in an instant, and there was a hint of ridicule on her delicate little face, and her originally round and bright eyes exuded a strange cold light, like a sharp dagger piercing people's hearts.

"When did you find out?"

Her voice was clear and cold, and the cold arc of her mouth was full of indifference.

"Very early." Xia Lan casually threw the bread in his hand aside.

"Hehe, you really aren't as naïve and easy to deceive as that little girl!" Winnie sneered. "If you always knew I was pretending, why did you expose me now?"

"Body, time." Xia Lanyi said simply.

"I see." Winnie instantly realized: "No wonder you keep ignoring me, say, what do you want me to do?" I don't think you're going to wake me up for no reason! ”

"I need to know how valuable you are to me." Charland Road.

"Value?" Winnie seemed to smell an unusual danger from Xia Lan's words. "Are you going to kill me if I have no value to you anymore?"

"There are some things you and I know very well." Xia Lan said calmly.

"Frank. Charan, are you going to break your promise to Herbert? It's not like your style! Winnie muttered.

"Commitment is not only about keeping, it's about breaking back." Charland Road.

"You've changed." Winnie stared at Charanda. "Turns out my instincts weren't lying."

"You haven't told me your answer." Xia Lan said to herself.

"Value...... My body, my knowledge of potions is my value. Winnie's eyes fluttered, and her voice suddenly had an indescribable seduction.

Without waiting for Xia Lan to speak, her voice changed again.

"I can help you how to access that little girl's power!" (To be continued......)
