Regardless of how a certain stealing kitten planned tonight in his heart, after Jiang Feng said goodbye to Count Rodel here, he waited for the people behind him to board the steamship together. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

Captain Kerut stayed on the docks, beckoning the hired helpers, and working with the sailors to carry the cargo to the deck, box by crate.

Coal was brought from the Boulder City in caravans, and supplies such as food were purchased directly from the port's warehouses.

There are also 120 tons of gold bars, Jiang Feng naturally will not forget to take them away, Count Rodell has already packed them in wooden boxes, and sent people to help Jiang Feng transport them on the ship in several batches.

With all this done, Captain Kairut settled the wages with the foreman of the harbor, dropped a bag of silver coins into the man's hand, and then turned and returned to the deck of the steamer.

The boiler was re-ignited, and the steamer, with the sound of tuk tuk and the long whistle, quickly disappeared into the horizon under the eyes of everyone, leaving only a reverie silhouette.

Looking at the steamship, a hint of longing appeared in Count Rodel's eyes.

This is purely due to the knee-jerk reaction of the businessman.

Soon, though, he shook his head.

Ships powered by witchcraft, he just thought about it.

In his mind, this kind of thing must be very expensive, and if he hadn't bought that painting, maybe he would have some ideas. But now, the Banjet family's coffers have been depleted, and they have even borrowed a sum from the bank, and he will not have any plans to buy a new ship in the short term.

At this moment, a carriage came from behind.

Count Rodel was slightly stunned when he looked at his family crest printed on the carriage, and then he saw his daughter jump out of the carriage.

Carrying the frilled hem of her skirt, Miss Anna hurried out of the carriage and looked in the direction of the harbor, her face full of anxiety.

Not seeing that haunting face, she looked at her father and asked hurriedly.

"Daddy, where's the wizard?"

"Wizard, he just left......" After not reacting for a while, Count Rodel subconsciously replied.

"How so?!" Anna's face was full of frustration, and she felt that something was going away, and she pressed her right hand to her chest.

Even if he was sluggish, Earl Rodon reflected it, and a wry smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

I have never heard of a wizard who would fall in love with a mortal, not even in a fairy tale.

After all, mortals have too short a lifespan compared to wizards.

It's like a mayfly to a tree......

……

A refreshing sea breeze blows across your face.

Standing on the deck, Jiang Feng looked out at the sea in the distance.

Before I knew it, a week had passed since the departure from the port of the Rhône.

During the week, he made a trip to the port of Warland, said goodbye to Princess Sophia on Cilita's behalf, and then set sail again with the gold promised by His Majesty the King, in the direction of the port of Sevit.

The journey at sea was not as boring as expected.

During the day, when he was fine, Jiang Feng would usually sit in his room and meditate. As for the night, he usually goes to bed very early.

However, since one time Misha snuck into his room and woke him up in a "special way", he quit his good habit of going to bed early and waking up early, and simply sat in the room and waited for her.

It's just that I don't know why, when he sees Emily, he always has an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.

Shaking his head, he felt like he must have overthought it.

Retracting his gaze from Emily, who was running on the deck, Jiang Feng looked at Captain Kerut, who was at the helm of the stern, and shouted.

"Kairut."

"What commands? My lord. Hearing Jiang Feng's voice, Captain Kairut responded in a rough voice.

"How far are we from Port Sevet?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Three days at most, my lord. You design a boat that's unimaginably fast! It was also two weeks from Rhône to Valland at the earliest, and we didn't even use a week! Captain Kerut laughed heartily, "We may encounter a light rain in a moment, and if you don't want to get your robes wet, you'd better go back to the house...... Of course, this is just my suggestion. ”

"I'll refer to your advice." Jiang Feng smiled.

While the two were talking, Jiang Feng saw that gray clouds had already formed in the sky. Judging from the thickness of the dark clouds, this was not as simple as a light rain, but looking at Captain Kerut's relaxed face, it was obvious that he had not paid attention to this level of heavy rain.

Jiang Feng still had a lot of trust in Captain Kairut's sailing experience, so he didn't say much, so he looked at the two bear children who were chasing and fighting on the deck.

"Ran, Emily, you two have had enough, hurry back to the cabin and stay there, we will be through the storm in a moment. When the time comes, don't expect me to go down and catch you. ”

Turning around, Emily stuck out her tongue and naughtily pulled her lower eyelid with her index finger and grimaced at Jiang Feng.

"Slightly, I don't want you to catch me, Emily is not stupid, she won't fall into the sea so easily."

"That's not good." Yi Ran, who was panting, her cheeks flushed, stood up straight and snorted.

"You guy." Emily opened her claws in a menacing manner.

Looking at the two little ghosts with black lines, Jiang Feng looked around and found that Leia was not here, only Misha was standing not far away, looking at this side from time to time.

"Misha, get Emily back to the room for me."

"Yes, master." Saluting respectfully, Misha said softly, and walked in the direction of the two imps.

Emily giggled and ran away, but was caught by Misha.

Ay.

Sure enough, Misha is reliable......

However, Jiang Feng had just sighed in his heart, and before a minute had passed, things began to develop in a direction he didn't expect.

I saw Misha's hands pass under Emily's ribs, and I just wanted to pick her up gently, but I didn't expect Emily to be caught, she was not honest, her little eyebrows were raised, and she writhed restlessly.

"Please, please don't move." Misha persuaded.

Emily is her master's apprentice, so naturally she can't be rough with her.

"Let go of me, you fishy little kitten."

"Meow Meow Meow ???"

Not only was Misha taken aback, but even Jiang Feng, who was far away, was almost choked by saliva.

But soon Jiang Feng reacted, Emily didn't find out the secret of her and Misha's night, she just said it casually, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm at all...... Wait, she didn't find out what it had to do with me.

Misha obviously didn't think as quickly as Jiang Feng, and she stood there at a loss, but Emily seized the opportunity. I saw the little girl smile evilly, and her right hand quickly stretched out and pinched Misha's right ear.

"Hmph, there's a flaw! Look at the moves! ”

"Yikes!" Misha, who was caught by a cat's ear, screamed with a red face, and her voice suddenly went out of voice, "Please, please don't touch my ear." ”

"Huhu, what about that? It's not that I can't let you go. The little hand rubbed the soft cat ear, looking at the shy and unbearable expression on Misha's face, Emily's heart was playful, and her little face was red with excitement.

She obviously didn't know what she was doing.

Looking at Misha's red face that was almost dripping, Jiang Feng couldn't help but cover his face, and was about to step forward to teach Emily a lesson, when he saw Leia coming from the cabin.

"Hey, hurry up and beg for mercy, I'll let you go. Hey? Your expression is so strange, is it sick? Oops——! ”

With a short cry of pain, Emily squatted down with her little head in her arms and glanced aggrievedly at her sister who came over.

"My sister has caused you trouble." Leia apologized to Misha's jaw.

"No, it's okay......" Sneaking a glance at Jiang Feng's direction, Misha lowered her head a little frustratedly, blaming herself for not even being able to do this little thing.

After receiving Misha's understanding, Leia nodded slightly to her in thanks, then turned to glare at Emily, then took the little girl's neck and turned away.

The sailors on deck did not dare to look at this side at all, pretending that nothing had happened, and looking for something to do for themselves, for fear that they would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish because they saw something they should not see.

"Don't come here, I'll go by myself."

Yi Ran looked at Jiang Feng vigilantly and took two steps back nervously.

Jiang Feng rolled his eyes, looked like a rare person, and turned around and walked in the direction of the cabin.

After a while, the steamship had sailed beneath the dark clouds.

The dark clouds like quilts were impermeable, and the expressions on the faces of the sailors who had been taken lightly couldn't help but become solemn. There was a faint sound of rolling thunder in the sky, and the hunting sea breeze blew the deck, bringing up the rolling waves, and a rainstorm was coming.

Already back in the room.

Sitting on the bed, about to enter meditation, Jiang Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

A strange energy field enveloped the sea in front of him, even encompassing the entire Crocodile Island, and the radio signal was so severely disconnected that his brain was temporarily disconnected from the communication equipment of the shelter.

"Switch to subspace communication mode." Jiang Feng thought silently in his heart.

[Switching subspace communication mode......]

[The connection is successful, and the data is receiving ......]

In general, in a planetary environment, most communication needs can be met by using radio, and the default connection between the brain and the shelter is radio.

Of course, considering that special circumstances may occur, such as the case where electromagnetic waves are interfered with, the brain can also complete communication with the shelter in other ways, depending on the type of communication module attached to the smart chip.

As the captain of the Star Ring Era, Jiang Feng's intelligent brain chip focuses on strengthening the relevant modules in the command field. The use of subspace waves for communication is the safest and most stable communication method, and the only disadvantage is that the energy consumption is a little larger.

A light blue dialog box pops up from the viewshed.

Looking at the rows of data in the dialog box, Jiang Feng's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

From the analysis of the wave range difference of the negative energy force field, the source of the negative energy shrouded in this sea area is precisely on Crocodile Island.

Not only that, but what alarmed him the most was that the source of negative energy seemed to come from the depths of the jungle.

"What's going on?" Jiang Feng muttered to himself in his heart.

Although the shelter is equipped with a wide-angle camera, the area that can be seen is limited to the halfway point of the mountain, and to the corner of the forest below the sea.

The thought in his heart moved slightly, and Jiang Feng called Xiaobai through his brain.

After entering the room, Xiao Bai touched his head, looked at Jiang Feng with a confused expression and asked.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"I'll ask you something," after a pause, Jiang Feng continued, "Did anything strange happen on Crocodile Island before you left Savitgang?" ”

"Strange things?" Xiaobai looked dazed.

Looking at the blank expression on Xiao Bai's face, Jiang Feng fell silent.

It's impossible for Xiaobai to lie to himself.

In this way, at least half a month ago, the situation on Crocodile Island was normal.

In the half month that Captain Kairut and Xiaobai left, something should have happened on the island.

It's a pity that the communicator Jiang Feng only gave Du Wei and Fielding, and the situation on the island is now blind to both eyes. Although the brain chip can exchange data with the enlightenment chip, this kind of data transmission interface that is not designed for communication can only work if the distance is close, and it is not realistic for them to ask about the situation on the island through the silver whiskers, Jiang Feng only hopes that they are safe and sound now.

“…… You go down first. ”

"Yes, master." The little white urn replied angrily, turned around and left the room.

After sitting in the room for a while, Jiang Feng still couldn't let go of this matter in his heart, so he simply stopped cultivating, took off the raincoat from the hanger at the door, draped it on his body, pushed open the door and walked outside.

There was thunder in the air, and the pouring rain poured on the deck.

Walking through the bumpy corridor to the deck, Jiang Feng went straight to the stern of the ship and found Captain Kairut who was at the helm.

"Your Excellency, you'd better hurry back to the cabin, it may be more bumpy in a moment, the waves are a little ...... It was beyond my expectations. Xiang Jiang Feng shouted, and Captain Kairut's face was a little solemn.

As he spoke, another wave hit and slapped on the side of the ship.

"Damn ......" was almost slapped to the ground, but Captain Kairut, who was holding on to the wooden handrail, straightened up, spat at the seawater, cursed the damn weather, and continued to hold on to the rudder, dodging the rough waves.

At this time, the sailor who was crawling on the Liao Wangzhu looked at the rough sea in front of him and exclaimed.

"Captain, there's a floating plank ahead! Is that...... It's the wreck of a brig! ”

"Somebody's lying on that plank!"

"Are you sure you read that right?" Captain Kerut asked hurriedly.

"That's right...... Someone is there! They're crying out to us for help! ”

Captain Kairut's face was gloomy, his eyes looked at the sea in front of him with some struggle, and then he glanced at Jiang Feng in embarrassment, and threw this difficult question to him.

"My lord, there are shipwrecked sailors at sea ahead."

"What do you think?" Jiang Feng asked.

"If you want to save someone, you may take a little risk, but if you don't save ...... death"

The latter words were not uttered by Captain Kerut.

If you don't save yourself when you see death, you will naturally be cursed by the sea god.

Although there is no reason to speak of it, the people who make a living at sea believe it very much, and it has become a conventional practice rather than superstition. After all, everyone has a day when they are in trouble, and it is for themselves to set this rule.

Even experienced captains can't guarantee that they'll be foolproof on every voyage.

"Let's get people back first." Jiang Feng said.

There is a similar rule in the Federation, if an escape pod is found floating in the universe, whether it is a Federally registered model or not, whether it is floating in orbit or has fallen to the surface, it will be recovered and brought back to the nearest border station.

However, it was not because of this rule that Jiang Feng made the decision to save people.

But he did have some questions, and he wanted to ask the shipwrecked sailors.

Captain Kairut's expression was solemn, like Jiang Feng nodding seriously, then he grabbed the rudder with both hands and slammed it to the right.

"Prepare the rope, and the empty barrels!"

The deck was busy, the boilers spewed more white mist, and the steamer, which had turned its bow, accelerated again, heading in the direction of the wreckage.

Approaching the wreckage, a barrel with a rope on it, was thrown down by the sailors on deck.

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, the survivors lying on the planks hugged the empty barrels thrown down and crawled desperately towards the boat along the ropes.

There is not much time left for them, and no ship will stop and anchor in this hellish place, just to save them.

Once they miss the opportunity to get on the ship, they are resigned to their fate.

Fortunately, a total of twelve sailors climbed aboard.

Kairut's first mate stepped forward, called on some of the sailors, took the poor men below deck, and brought them food, clean clothes, and hot water, while confiscating weapons such as daggers from them.

The dozen or so survivors were also quite cooperative, and took the initiative to hand over their weapons.

Handing over weapons to the ship's owner is part of the rules of the sea, after all, no one can guarantee that they will not be saved by the eyes of pirates. They are all strictly monitored until they arrive at the port, and are not allowed to leave the room for half a step.

After drinking a bowl of hot water, the survivor coughed violently twice, and before he could catch his breath, he grabbed the sailor apprentice who brought him hot water, and said in an excited tone.

"Let me see your captain, I have something to say!"

The apprentice sailor had only just been on the ship, and when he encountered this kind of thing for the first time, he was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, footsteps sounded in the corridor of the cabin, and a loud voice came from outside the door.

"I'm the captain of this ship, and you have something to say now."

After entering the house with Jiang Feng, Captain Kerut looked at the bearded surviving sailor and motioned for him to continue.

“…… Is your course to the port of Sevit? His face was blue with the cold, and the sailor's lips trembled, but he tried to speak.

"yes, what's the problem?" Captain Kerut frowned. Asked.

The sailor's face changed instantly, and he said with a frightened face: "Don't go there, damn it, it's not a place for people at all!" ”

"Calm down, what's going on over there? You guys just came from over there? Standing behind Captain Kairut, Jiang Feng frowned slightly and said in a calm tone.

"Not here...... It's an escape. The sailor had a frightened look on his face, "Fire, fire everywhere, and demons. Many people died, and others fled into the forest. Our captain fled with us, but we were overtaken. We must get out of here at once, please, and trust me, go back to Valland, where it has fallen. ”

The sailor was evidently frightened and spoke incoherently.

From his trembling voice, Jiang Feng could feel his fear.

Jiang Feng and Captain Kairut looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes, as well as a touch of solemnity that could not be concealed.

If this sailor is not lying, then the port of Sevet must have encountered some major crisis. It's just that the information revealed in this sailor's words is too little, and Jiang Feng can only vaguely conclude that it should be related to chaos.

A thunderclap exploded outside the window.

The rain was pouring from the ceiling, but the room was so quiet that you could even hear your snorts.

"Make the situation clear to me—" Jiang Feng was just about to ask what was going on in the port of Sevet when a loud noise came from the deck.

It was as if it had hit something, and the ceiling shook.

It's definitely not because of lightning.

As if aware of something, the sailors who had survived the shipwreck shrunk into a ball, babbling prayers.

"I'll go up there and have a look!" Captain Kerut's face changed dramatically, and he rushed out of the door and ran in the direction of the gangway.

Jiang Feng didn't move, but looked at the door.

Outside the cabin, the undead magical elements were restlessly restless.

Vaguely, he was aware of what was happening.

At this moment, the sailor, who had cowered into a ball, his lips trembled, finally spoke again.

"It's over, we're done, it's the devil's servants."

"Watch him and don't let him run around." Looking at the sailor apprentice next to him, Jiang Feng ordered, "If he goes crazy, knock him unconscious." ”

"Yes, yes!" The sailor apprentice swallowed and said nervously.

Nodding his head and not saying anything more, Jiang Feng waved his hand and threw out a silver metal ball, floating half a step behind him, and then walked towards the door.
