The sea area south of the Drifter Continent has always been a very lively sea area, and the merchant ships from the Continental Los Continent will choose this route, and then dock at the ports in the south of the Erathia Empire, of course, there are also merchant ships that will choose to dock in the ports of other countries, but those are not the best choices, because after excluding the factor of piracy, this route is the safest and fastest, and the commerce of the Erathia Empire is also the most developed on this continent, and the relationship between the Enlos Empire and the Erathia Empire is good, In addition, the Erathian Empire is located in the heart of the continent and shares borders with many countries. The geographical location is quite superior, and many businessmen like to gather here. The goods do not have to worry about not being sold.

Just as Hammondale was a hub for merchants to trade overland, the sea was a gateway for merchants who traded overseas, with merchant ships flying flags of all colors plying the seas every day, and pirates saw it as a prime location for their robbery. In addition to the notorious Ragner pirates, other large and small pirate groups also like to live here, and the not-so-powerful navies of the Erathian Empire and the Bracada Kingdom are also frequent here, and occasionally fight small groups of pirates. Show off the majesty of a great power.

However, merchant ships, pirates, and the navies of both countries all stayed away from a sea area on the edge of this lively route, because it was not only a sea area with strong currents, reefs, and whirlpools, but also unpredictable weather and fog from time to time, and even experienced captains would suffer greatly from it. If you're not careful, your ship will be wrecked and people will die.

For these reasons, this sea is figuratively called the Dead Sea, but in ancient legends, it is in the midst of this Dead Sea. But there is a rich archipelago.

That's the mystical Evermont Islands. The Evermont Islands, which are said to have buried ancient pirate treasures and are considered sacred islands by the two major sects of the Sun and the Moon.

Decades ago. There was a craze on the mainland to search for the Evermont Islands, and the legendary treasures attracted many brave adventurers to sail into the Dead Seas, but most of them never returned. Those who were lucky enough to escape with their lives would never dare to risk even half a step into this sea again.

It was then that people remembered what a terrible sea area this place was, and how many ships had swallowed it up, and then the many victims and the wars on the mainland one after another, the craze for the Evermont Islands slowly subsided, and this sea area was quiet again, and it became a mysterious area that people avoided, although the route on the side was still lively, but no one dared to try to enter here.

But in the autumn of that year, someone had the audacity to break the peace again, and a fleet of eight ships slowly sailed into this dead sea.

This fleet is all medium-sized sea vessels. Their identity is indicated by the skull-headed flags with crowns they wear on their ships and the unique shape of the ships, which are known as the Rigner pirate fleet.

There can be eight ships, which shows that this pirate fleet has considerable strength, and it can be regarded as a relatively large-scale Rigner pirate fleet.

"Head, why are we going to take risks? We've had a good harvest this month, and even if we don't, we don't have to take such a risk, right? What about the guests on the ship? I don't think they can be trusted, and the smell on them makes me uncomfortable! Is it because of them that you made this decision? In the captain's room on the flagship of this fleet, Logan, the tall minotaur of this pirate regiment, asked a human wearing a captain's hat, pirates are no better than countries on land. Their racial concept is not strong, although the pirates are mainly humans, but there are also some pirates of non-human races, the minotaur Logan was an officer in the Negan army, and later offended his lord, in order to survive and was forced to flee to the sea and then joined the pirate group, because of his good ability, he was promoted to the position of second in command by the regiment commander.

The human wearing the captain's hat took off his hat, scratched his shiny head without a single hair, and then put on his hat and turned around and looked at the minotaur happily, he is the leader of this pirate group, the bald pirate Charles, who is famous in this sea area, this murderous pirate leader has always been known for his ruthlessness. After each of the merchant ships, he would gather the merchants and sailors he had captured and cut off their hands and throw them into the sea, attracting the sharks in the sea with the smell of blood on them, and watching the sharks compete for their victims.

"Logan, do you think I'm a joker with my life!"

Charles said with a smile, then he took out a chart and spread it on the table, beckoning Logan to look at it together: "Look, this is a detailed chart of this dead sea!" There you have this. I'm pretty sure I'll get to Evermont without any problems! It's not an adventure! This is our great opportunity to make a windfall! ”

Compare. ten thousand

Logan stepped forward suspiciously and looked closely. Sure enough, it was a chart of the Dead Sea. In the very center of the chart, there is a circular archipelago of six islands, on which the words Evermont are clearly marked in different colors of ink.

Judging from the nautical charts, the surroundings of the Evermont Islands are densely packed with dangerous areas, reefs, whirlpools, and undercurrents. But the makers of the charts were extremely considerate

The face of the immortal is a safe route. There are some special places on the route... Lion. A detailed description of these markings is given below the chart.

This chart looks quite old, very old, Logan looked at it a few times, raised his head and looked at Charles with confusion and excitement: "Where did you get this chart?" Hell, if this is true. We don't have to worry about money for a few lifetimes! ”

Saying that, he became a little nervous again: "This chart can't be fake, right?" ”

"It can't be fake! I've confirmed it, it's absolutely true." Charles glanced at Logan triumphantly and chuckled, "Don't forget, I've been to the Evermont Islands before!" If he dares to lie to me with fake charts, I will find out at a glance! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have dared to take the risk! No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it! ”

Logan was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "They? Is it the charts that those guests brought? ”

Charles nodded: "Yes, they brought it, these landlubbers don't know where to get this chart, according to their own say they want to go to the Evermont Islands to find something that has fallen before." These guys don't know how to sail, so they came to us for help! ”

Speaking of this, Charles lowered his voice and continued: "But they are really generous, do you know what kind of conditions they offer? 100,000 gold coins! And thirty thousand have already been prepaid! With this money, even if we can't find the treasure on the island, we can rest for a long time! It is said that they had tried it once before with the old Charlie's gang. But the level of old Charlie, you know, they went in three boats. It turned out that only one came back. Old Charlie even lost his life! ”

Logan was dumbfounded when he heard this: "100,000 gold coins? Oh my God, how valuable is what they're looking for? Or is there more treasure on Evermont than that? ”

Charles smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how many of them there are, depending on the situation, there will only be more than a dozen of them." We'll be there."

Charles said with his right hand down, which made Logan's eyes light up: "Head, you are really despicable and shameless!" But I love it! ”

"It's time to be smart. The magicians sent by the Rigner Islands also have to say hello to them in advance, and those guys are probably not very easy to deal with." Charles laughed for a moment, then a little more solemn. "Even though they have always refused to show their true colors, and all the guys are tightly wrapped up in them, I'm pretty sure they're necromancers! These annoying guys."

"Necromancer?. Logan was startled and a little worried, "The necromancer heard that it is very powerful!" Head, are you sure? ”

Compare. , Wanbi North

Charles frowned, "You idiot. When have I ever done something I'm not sure about? You don't know the power of Rigner's magician. And this is at sea, our world! On land is not afraid to say. But can't we clean up a few stinky undead at sea? Didn't you see the ship move, and some of them couldn't stand still? If not sure if they have a treasure map on them. I'm going to dare them right now, throw them into the sea to feed the sharks! Okay, okay, let's go and do something, let those guys all cheer me up, this paint is actually the dead sea, even if there are charts. You should also be careful not to have any accidents. If you don't get the money, you will lose your life."

Logan answered and was about to go out, but was stopped by Charles: "Be careful." Don't show your feet and let the undead find out! Forget it, it's better for you to have less contact with them, and I'll greet them! You can take this chart and give me the route to keep an eye on! ”

After Logan left, Charles sent a long sigh of relief.

More than ten years ago, when he was a small pirate leader, he once followed another pirate group to the Evermont Islands by chance. At that time, the pirate group with only four ships somehow provoked the pursuit of the Herasian Imperial Navy, and the leader of the pirate group ventured into the dead sea in desperation. And found the Evermont Islands by mistake.

Unfortunately, they didn't find the treasure at the time, and they suffered a lot at the hands of the large number of undead creatures on the island, and even the two magicians stationed in the pirate group in the Rigner Islands lost their lives, and finally had to leave after looting a local village.

But the return trip was not smooth, and when I came in, I was in a hurry. The charts were incomplete, so in the end, only one of the four boats was Charles escaped from the dead sea. It was at that time that Charles took over the ship, and eventually came to this day, step by step.

For many years, Charles had been obsessed with the Evermont Islands, but he did not dare to risk the incomplete chart in his hand, until the necromancers approached him a few days ago and gave him the complete chart, and he made up his mind to return to the Evermont Islands.

He thought very clearly, the other party is a necromancer, there must be a way to deal with those undead creatures on the island, and what he finds should also be transported out by his own ship.

Thinking of this, Charles took off his hat again. Scratching his bare head, he laughed darkly. (To be continued)
