When the Shiratori left the port of Gafa City, there were one hundred and twenty-seven people on board. Now, just a few days later, there are only sixty-one people left on board.

The shadow of death has hung over this group of poor people.

When they were offshore, none of them had any problems, they were all healthy people. But the next day, the crisis suddenly broke out, and one after another people had fevers one after another, and black spots began to appear on their bodies.

These men came out of the city of Gafa, of course, knowing what this phenomenon meant, and fear immediately knocked down most of the crew.

Luckily, the merchant Gappas had to show a tough trick and set off with a few healthy crew members, one by one, throwing all those who had problems overboard. At the same time, the cabins of those people were sealed tightly and no one was allowed to enter. After doing this, everyone was dispersed to all corners of the ship, as far as they could.

After a series of strong measures, the situation was immediately brought under control, and there were no more large-scale cases.

However, no matter how much they tried to prevent it, sporadic people began to fall, and death, although contained, remained. Moreover, this growing situation that cannot be prevented has dealt a serious blow to people's confidence.

Until now, even Captain Klein has the intention of giving up. This invisible and untouchable enemy was so terrifying that Klein even felt that even a curse was nothing more than that.

Gappasd would not give up, he was still organizing the crew to throw the sick into the sea.

Seeing the deflated Klein at this moment, Gappas stood up violently like a tyrannosaurus rex and roared loudly at Klein: "You are the captain!" You cheer me up, we still have hope. ”

In the face of Gappast's roar, Klein was still half-dead, he looked at Gappas with blank eyes, and asked with a sad smile, "We..... Is there any hope for us? ”

Gappast was a wealthy businessman with countless assets under his name. Klein was a viscount of the Empire, and out of hobby, he got a ship and became his own captain. It's a pity that now, money and status can't save them. Death is like a thin but tough silk thread that has been wrapped around their necks and is gradually tightening.

The two crew members on deck were about to report to Gappast when they were walking when they heard the roar. The two crew members immediately stopped, and there was a look of despair in their eyes, and even a trace of tears.

This ship has almost no way to escape.

At this moment, a red point of light flashed in front of the crew's eyes, and the crew member couldn't help but be stunned. Then he looked forward intently, and saw that there was indeed a red point of light on the sea in front of him, which stood out in the night.

"Land! Land! After seeing the light spot, the crew immediately shouted excitedly. After a life-and-death struggle on board, they have a boundless desire to return to land and be far away from the terrible ship of the Damned Ship forever.

Hearing the shouts of the crew, people ran from the cabin to the deck, including Gappasd and Klein.

Looking in the direction pointed by the crew, everyone saw the red point of light hidden in the night, and the land behind the point of light.

An emotion called hope spread through the crowd, and Gappas looked at the land with excitement and asked, "Klein, where are we now?" What a place that land is. ”

Klein recalled, took out the compass from his bosom to identify it, and immediately said excitedly: "Messina! This is Messina, here we are. ”

Hearing the captain's words, everyone shouted excitedly. They had no intention of sleeping, so they ran to various parts of the hull and hoisted the sails.

Captain Klein strode to the rudder, deflected the bow of the ship and charged at full speed toward Messina. When they finally reached their destination, they didn't want to wait a little longer, they just wanted to be able to get ashore and go home as soon as possible.

Gappas looked at the harbor in the distance, and his face showed excitement. No matter how much it takes, when it comes to this moment, it's all worth it.

However, as the ship gradually sailed into the harbor, the crew's hearts gradually sank.

By the light of the moon, they saw a whole line of large ships docked outside the harbor, and none of them entered the harbor. The red dot they saw before was actually formed by three large ships gathering together and burning. The flames seem to have been burning for some time, and the hull of the ship is gradually burning and slowly sinking into the sea.

That row of ships and three large burning ships blocked the way forward, and the Shiratori had no way to enter the harbor at all.

Just when everyone was anxious and angry, a medium-sized sailing ship slowly sailed out of the harbor and came to the vicinity of the Shiratori.

"Where is your captain? Please come out and talk to us. The black dog on the medium-sized sailing ship stood at the front of the deck, and behind him stood two thugs with muskets, and said menacingly. He had a fierce look, like a robber in the Caribbean.

Klein heard this, of course, but before he could speak, Gappas hurried to the edge of the deck and shouted below, "Hurry up and clear a way for us to get out, we need to enter the harbor." ”

Black Dog hadn't met such an arrogant person in the past two days, as if he hadn't seen the thug with a musket behind him. After thinking about it, the black queen felt the need to remind the other party, so she cleared her throat and said: "We are the mafia, according to the order, the port is temporarily blocked, and you must accept our inspection before you can enter the port." ”

Gappas was already angry at the moment, but he still suppressed it and said, "Check? Then come up, hurry up and let us in after the inspection. ”

"No, no, no." The black dog shook his head and said slowly, "I know that you are the White Bird, from the city of Gafa, so this inspection will last for seven days. You will only be allowed to go in after seven days. ”

"Fuck you!" Hearing this, Gappas couldn't hold back any longer, he stared at the black dog below and said viciously: "Lao Tzu is Gappasd, the Grand Duke of Tuscany knows me, and Cardinal Lockan of the Holy See is my friend." I could buy all of Sicily with all the gold coins of all Europe, so why do you dare to talk to me like that? ”

Hearing the people mentioned by the other party, the black dog suddenly shuddered. He was just an ordinary peripheral member of the mafia before, where did he have the opportunity to come into contact with such a big man.

Just when the black dog was worried, Captain Klein on the White Bird also walked to the edge of the deck, took out a golden seal from his bosom and said: "I am the Viscount of the Empire, and now I order you in the name of the Viscount to open the harbor and let us in!" ”
