28 Fate is uncertain

The sun was setting in the west, and the people of Persima Harbour had just finished their day's work, and the streets were bustling with people, and the trio of Milo, Nightsparrow, and Irene hurried towards the harbor, and on the way they met the snow dogs.

The trio are glad that Snowdog managed to escape, using his transformation magic to transform into a war bear, roaring back the surrounding town guards, and successfully escaping from his pursuit, to which Milo and Erin were impressed.

"Didn't kill anyone, did you?" Nightfinch asked worriedly, and Snow Dog shook his head, signaling that he wouldn't cause trouble to everyone. Although they are located in a city half of the water town and the harbour, the good thing is that there are many bridges that connect the main buildings and streets, and they can be reached without having to take a dinghy.

"When! While! While! ......" The city alarm bell sounded behind him, and the people on the road began to flee in all directions, and Milo and his party also quickened their pace, trying to choose a road without the city guard. Seeing that no one was catching up, Milo rented a small boat along the river and rowed everyone to the port. During this time, the four of them didn't say anything, but they were all extremely nervous, for fear that the city guards would suddenly appear in front of them. Fortunately, the accident did not happen, and they arrived at the port where the Union was located.

Captain Finn was leisurely blowing the sea breeze in the setting sun, when he was surprised to see the four of them speeding out of the dinghy and running towards the Union. "Captain! Can the boat go now? Milo looked anxious and shouted loudly from afar. Milo, who thought he was supposed to spend a lot of time in the city, suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was so panicked, Finn was strange and immediately nervous.

"The boat can go!" Finn decisively shouted back, he didn't know what was going on, but he wouldn't refuse his employer's request, "Guys, get ready to set sail." The sailors were amazed, but soon followed.

"Get out of the harbor!" It was the sound of the night sparrow, and the four of them had already boarded the ship, panting.

"I haven't said hello to the port dispatcher yet, what's so urgent?" Captain Finn asked, puzzled.

"Let's talk about it when we leave the port." Milo also stepped forward and said.

Captain Finn no longer hesitated, and ordered the Union to leave port immediately. The port dispatch station sounded a warning bell, signaling that the Union had left the port without complying with the dispatch, but the Union still sailed out of the port, ready to burrow under the crotch of the Colossus of the God of Ten Thousand Sources.

"Turn the rudder! A ship came in, and it was about to crash! A sailor shouted.

"I'm coming!" Captain Finn took the helm himself, and the Union made a sharp turn and brushed the side of the oncoming ship, but fortunately did not touch. In an instant, the Union had already left the port, and the alarm bell behind it was still ringing......

"You'd better explain! What the hell is going on? Captain Finn angrily approached Milo and the others, who had been watching the Colossus of the God of All Sources fade away from the deck.

Melo hurriedly handed over a small bag and said, "I'm sorry, Captain. You take this first. Confirming that they had fled, Milo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and they still had to thank the captain and the others first.

Finn took the pouch and flipped through it—it was gold coins, and his anger had subsided considerably, but he still complained, "It's too reckless!" I'm going to have to go to Puerto Pasima to pay the fine. Just as he was about to put the money bag in his coat pocket, he suddenly pointed to the snow dog and said, "Hey! Is he—is he hurt? ”

Milo, Nightfinch, and Erin immediately looked at the Snow Dog, only to see him covering his right arm with his left hand, and bright red blood running down his cuffs and dripping from his fingertips onto the deck. Night Sparrow hurriedly tore the sleeve of her husband's right arm—a long crimson wound stunned everyone! And the snow dog never showed signs of pain. Night Sparrow took out the wound medicine she had brought with her and applied it to her husband's wound, and kept comforting him: "It's okay, it's okay...... It's just skin trauma, skin trauma ......" Erin was also very worried, thinking that if she hadn't been recognized, the latter thing would not have happened. Snowdog saw Erin's uneasiness and smiled and waved her hand to signal her not to worry too much. Captain Finn also asked the sailors to bring medical supplies and stretchers, and asked the sailors to carry the snow dogs to the cabin to rest first, and Night Sparrow followed her husband.

"That's ......," Captain Finn frowned, looking in the direction of Pasima Harbor: a white cloud of smoke appeared over the harbor, enveloping the Colossus of the God of All Sources - it was not an ordinary white cloud, but white smoke from the firing of artillery. Not long after, the sound of the explosion reached the Union, and the sailors looked up and looked at each other.

"Damn it! Something happened in the port, it's a police gun! Finn threw the money bag on the deck, "We've worked together many times, but I don't want criminals on my ship, and I don't want money from unknown sources!" You'd better explain, Milo! I'll order the Union to go back at any time! Captain Finn put away his usual frivolous debauchery and hippie smile, and he was now in full swing.

Erin tried to say something, but was stopped by Milo. The port of Parsima was far away, and only the dazzling light of the Colossus of the God of All Sources could be seen, which was to guide the ship. "Captain, I didn't want to hide it from you, but now I'll explain it to you, and use my reputation in Windrun as a guarantee." Melo said slowly.

……

When Milo finished telling Erin about her misfortune and escape, it was already dark, and the Union lit the oil lamp, and the faint light shone on the three people on deck.

After hearing this, Captain Finn silently picked up the money bag that had just been thrown on the ground, and said, "I have observed you on the ship these days, and to be honest, you don't look like people who have done bad things. If you want to say that this little girl killed Rayson, the ghost will believe it. Alas—" he let out a long sigh. "I won't betray you, after all, your reputation in Windrun has earned me the trust I have in you, Milo. I'll keep the money and pay the fine to the port of Pasima. ”

"Thank you, Captain Finn." Milo bowed deeply, and Erin on the side also saluted and thanked her, although the captain didn't say anything, but they also found out: the Union also left the escort ship in the port of Persima, and should have to pay liquidated damages.

"Let's go see your companions." Captain Finn reminded him, turning to get to his business. Milo and Erin arrive at the cabin where the Snow Dog is healing, just as Night Sparrow comes out.

"He's asleep, don't worry." Nightfinch said, "It only hurt the epidermis, it's nothing, he used to suffer many times more serious injuries than this, and he survived." ”

Erin hurriedly said, "Sister, it's all my bad ......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Nightfinch interrupted her, "You didn't know where to play in the mud when we used to live with our heads tied to our belts!" Erin almost laughed.

"Okay, sister, don't worry, you can rest well tonight." Nightfinch didn't want Erin to put the blame on herself, so comforted. Melo also advised Erin to rest first, and led her back to her cabin.

Before entering the cabin, Erin said to Milo with a dejected face, "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble...... too" Milo didn't speak, just shook her head: Don't care.

That night, Erin had insomnia, and she forgot about seasickness due to her preoccupation.

Late at night, on the deck of the USS Union—

"How's that guy's injury?" Captain Finn asked.

Nightfinch replied, "It's all right, it's just a skin injury." ”

"I think the wound is very long."

"Don't worry...... Now in what direction are we sailing? ”

"To the west, there are a few small fishing villages not far away where you can stop." Captain Finn looked at the black waters of the night, thinking about what Milo had just said, he scratched his head and said, "Hmm...... The storm is coming. ”

"Are you talking about the weather, or ......?" asked Nightfinch.

"Both."

At this point, Milo walked over and joined the conversation between the two, and he asked Finn, "Captain, can we go straight back to Windwalk from here?" Supplies or something......"

"No, there is not enough fresh water, not even ten days' worth of food. I was in too much of a hurry to escape, and I didn't have supplies. The captain replied, judging by the gloom on his countenance, that there seemed to be something more problematic than the lack of supplies. Even if we have sufficient supplies now, we will not be able to escape this 'sea of dragons'. ”

"Why?" Melo and Nightfinch asked.

"Do you remember the sound of police guns in Port Pasima? As soon as it sounds, the entire fleet of the Dragon's Empire will immediately go into action, and all the warships will check the passing ships one by one. The patrol circle of the warship has three levels, and now we are still in the innermost, and it is impossible to leave the sea of dragons without being inspected by the ship. ”

Milo and Nightsparrow couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, the Dragon's Empire had the most powerful navy, and Captain Finn's words were by no means alarmist.

Seeing that the two of them were a little frightened, the captain added, "I will help you find a way, and now we have to find an unobtrusive place to dock in the harbor." ”

"It's all up to you." Milo said he was relieved to have the captain's assurance.

"I let the Union sail to Deese...... Uh, no, it's called Deeds Village, yes, Deeds Village. "It's a small fishing village, hehe, it's so small that there aren't even guards, let's stop there first." ”

Late at night, the lights on the Colossus of the God of All Sources were no longer visible, and the Union continued to sail west on the black sea, carrying the ill-fated people.
