North Coast, Isle of Shadows.

This offshore island off the north coast is like a pearl at the forefront of the Northland because of its topography.

The size of the island is not very large, but because it is located in a warm water area, it has a warm and humid atmosphere that is rare in the Northland, which gives this island a special meaning, and in a way, it is a paradise given by the gods to the Northland.

"Unfortunately, it does not belong to humans".

Standing on the bow of a transsea freighter, looking out at the island in the distance, Sean sighed and said.

As the chief knight of the Temple of the Law, Sean naturally couldn't have come to play.

He had come with orders from the High Priest of the Temple, in order to find out what had recently changed on the island.

In fact, this is his old profession, before he became a knight of the Temple of the Law, he was a wandering wanderer ranger in the wild, and as for why he was able to change from a ranger to the current Templar knight......

It can only be said that genius exists everywhere.

"Lord Sean, according to the news we received from the Temple of the Law before, this island in the warm water area, its previous owner is undoubtedly the Sea Clan, why ......"

Next to him, a strong man in silver light armor asked in a low voice, with a little puzzlement.

Sean raised his hand, stopping him from speaking.

Looking at the harbor that was gradually approaching and had gradually become clear, Xiao Ke's eyes were somewhat complicated.

He explained, "It used to be those of the Sea Clan. According to the ancient regulations, the territory of the Sea Clan is not something we can get close to. However, things have now changed.

According to the information that has been confirmed, a month ago, the sovereignty of this warm water island has been transferred to others by the Sea Clan. An unknown force marked by a black clover.

They call themselves, Stygian Wood.

If the previous news has not been determined, and the force that calls itself Hadeswood is even regarded as a subordinate organization of the Sea Clan, then now, after they have confirmed their sovereignty, this island has nothing to do with the Sea Clan, and we will naturally have no problem setting foot on this island. ”

Shawk looked to the left and right, and there were still shadows of several ships in the course around the freighter he was on.

Xiao Ke couldn't help but touch his chin: "It's quite lively, it seems that this Stygian Wood has already gained a foothold on the Shadow Island." ”

The strong man was stunned: "My lord, I remember that the previous name of this warm water island was ......"

Shook waved his hand and interrupted the latter's next sentence: "Don't care about the previous name anymore, it doesn't make sense anymore." Now this island has been renamed the Shadow Island by the Stygian Wood, although I don't know what the meaning of this dark name is, but since it has been called this name, then we can also follow the local customs.

Remember, our current status is only a senior guard for this freighter, and has nothing to do with the Temple of the Law. If there is any dispute over a name...... It's just stupid. ”

The strong man was stunned, and a happy and sincere expression appeared on his face: "My lord, you still taught it!"

Sean smiled casually on his face, chatting and farting with the big man, and didn't look nervous.

But in my heart, it is already extremely heavy.

Stygian, this god-of-the-ghost force that came out of nowhere, was a month ago and no one cared about it at all, even ten days ago, it was no different from the importance of the sudden addition of a gang of pirates on the Northern Sea Route.

But when this force completely declared the sovereignty of Warm Water Island a few days ago, the meaning was different.

The sovereignty of an island is not important, even the sovereignty of a sea kingdom is not taken into account by an existence such as the Temple of the Law.

But if this tiny island, its original owner, is the Sea Clan, then the meaning is completely different.

Only by truly understanding the existence of the Sea Clan can we know that this race is strong in the main world, and there is no recognized master on the land for the time being, but the sea is undoubtedly the amusement park of the Sea Clan!

As the chief knight of the Temple of the Law, Sean certainly knew this.

He didn't think, and no one thought that the island was snatched from the Sea Clan by the forces called Stygian.

In this case, the hidden meaning of this becomes very important.

Especially...... Recently, when some subtle changes have taken place in the main world, this small incident has been magnified to the extreme!

And the combination of the two is the reason why Sean is here.

As he was thinking, Sean felt a slight coolness on his body, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a little white flower, fluttering down from the sky.

It's snowing.

Sean couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Seeing Xiao Ke's expression, the strong man smiled and asked with a bit of teasing:

"I heard that before that, Lord Sean had been serving as the chief knight in the main hall of the law in the middle. It's warm in the middle of the place, is Lord Shaun a little uncomfortable when you encounter this ghost weather in the Northland?"

Geographical blackness exists everywhere though.

But the relationship between the strong man and Sean is naturally not bad, and these words are just a strong man ridiculing Sean.

After all, for most people's impressions, compared to the bitterly cold northland, the central region, and budding flowers, it is no different.

Such laughter is naturally nothing.

If it was normal, Sean would have passed over immediately, but now, Sean was slightly silent, and finally said softly: "Actually, I'm no stranger to this kind of weather, a year ago, I spent a long time in the Northland, but after that, I went to the central part again. ”

"...... a year ago"

The strong man scratched his head, with a little emotion: "A year ago, it was the time when those high elves with long ears rose. It's a pity that what happened at that time has been completely blocked by the High Elves, and I can only hear a few nonsense rumors from the mouths of passing bards...... But although those things have become a complete secret, they also affect us deeply.

At least in this part of the Northlands, the High Elves are even more unprovoked than the Sea Clan. ”

The strong man is very emotional.

Because of this, the strong man who was addicted to emotion did not notice the extremely complex emotions in Sean's eyes when he spoke.

It wasn't until a long time later, with a swaying and a gentle collision of the ship's hull, that the two woke up from a dream.

"Shadow Isle, here. ”

Sean said in a deep voice, while raising his head to look at the island, and when the scenery of the island came into view, Sean couldn't help but gasp.

On the island, except for the offshore beach, other places have been filled with all kinds of buildings, and the first thing that catches your eye is a tavern!

Well, the tavern, it's a bit unexpected that such a place is actually a tavern.

It also made the strong man a little stunned: "In such a major place as the port, the harbor has not been repaired, it is directly the beach stranded, and the forced login is forgotten, the first thing I encountered was such a tavern?"

Could it be that the architectural planner in this place is looking for a dwarf? Who has such a bad interest except those drunkards?"

"It's not impossible. Sean also complained in his heart.

At this time, the owner of the freighter had already disembarked and handed over to the people on the shore, and the strong man turned his head to look, just in time to see a dwarf talking with the merchant with an excited face, obviously doing business, and couldn't help but be a little speechless.

"Lord Sean, could it be that this Shadow Island was occupied by the dwarves? even if it wasn't, was the building here really designed by the dwarves?"

Sean was noncommittal, with a solemn expression on his face: "I don't know if it was occupied by the dwarves, but what I want to say to you is that this drunkard-looking guy, that is, the dwarf, is a legend." ”

The strong man was obviously stunned when he heard this.

He wiped his eyes, looked closely, and just saw that the dwarf that Sean said was a legend, without the slightest strong demeanor, was rubbing his hands with a flattering smile, discussing something with the merchant.

Because it was not far away, the strong man could faintly hear a few words.

"Just give me a jar first, can you still have gold coins without you?"

"Lord Blackbeard, this really can't be done, Lord Bloodtooth has an order, and it must all be handed over to the cellar ......"

Hearing this, the dwarf named Blackbeard, who looked like a drunkard, had a strong look of dissatisfaction on his face, and an aura mixed with anger spread.

It was also at this time that the strong man slightly felt the strong momentum of this dwarf.

Then, his eyes widened involuntarily: "It's really a legendary powerhouse...... Is such an existence so worthless now? ”

Sean looked calm and didn't speak, just took a slight step forward, and didn't know the meaning of it.

The strong man's resolute eyes were slightly moved, and he didn't speak in the end, he knew that this was not the time to say moved.

The dwarf named Blackbeard looked dissatisfied at this time, and the hideous scar on his face was even more hideous and tangled with anger.

The owner of the freighter was just an ordinary person, and he was trembling a little under the momentum at the moment, but since he dared to do business here, it seemed that it was not the first time he had come, so it was naturally impossible to have no means.

He immediately hugged his head and shouted, "Lord Blackbeard! Lord Bloodfang still needs me to send him goods in the future!"

The dwarf's expression froze, and his momentum dissipated like dust.

He cut it very unpleasantly, and muttered faintly in his mouth: "With the help of the Sea Clan, where do you need a black-hearted ghost like you!"

However, considering that this was the order of the gnoll bloodfang, although Blackbeard was extremely unhappy, he still did not dare to make a move.

Although he has broken through to the legendary realm, but with the help of the integral power of the Stygian Wood Space, although it is a real legend, he obviously does not have the arrogance and spirit of a legendary powerhouse.

Luo Ye has been able to maintain his human side to this day - maybe that's the main reason.

The dwarf looked unhappy, although he didn't dare to make a move because of the power of the blood fangs for the time being, but it was obviously impossible not to vent it.

His gaze was slightly slanted, and it was naturally impossible to let go of the two people at the head of the bed.

The little white-faced Sean and the burly strong man came into view, and after a little observation, the dwarf Blackbeard had already put his eyes on Sean, he turned his face, looked at the merchant and asked with a sneer, "Who is he?"

The merchant was obviously a little stunned, hesitated slightly and quickly replied, "Lord Blackbeard, they are all the guards of our caravan, very strong.

If it weren't for the presence of Lord Sean, the goods you brought to your lordship might have been robbed by a group of bear goblins on the way!"

"Really?"

The dwarf Blackbeard was clearly unconvinced:

"You, a maritime merchant, when did you have the capital to hire such a powerful guard? ”

"Huh?" The maritime merchant was obviously a little frightened, Sean and the strong man joined the gang halfway, which would have been a good thing, but if he had known that there was such a powerful ...... That is clearly an ulterior motive.

While the businessman was anxiously thinking about how to get rid of the relationship, Sean spoke.

After all, after rubbing all the way, it is a little immoral to be in the pit at this time.

Although the businessman certainly has no moral character.

"I said, this dwarf brother, I have a bottle of sake here, do you want to take a sip?" Sean, who had been in contact with dwarves, naturally knew what kind of solution was the easiest way to solve this problem.

At this time, make a decisive move!

Hearing this, the black beard, who was excited because he didn't have any wine, suddenly had his eyes lit up.

"The national drink of the Qingshan Kingdom?"

Sean smiled and nodded.

He naturally didn't confess at this time that the bottle of sake was his treasure, but it was a pity...... It has been mixed with water.

But it doesn't matter, for drunkards like dwarves, drinking is enough!

"Bring it to me, my friend, no, my brother!" At this moment, Blackbeard was very excited and excited.

I've been here for a month where birds don't, and although I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, I haven't drunk enough of this wine!

Although the gnolls bloodfang hooked up with some merchants and brought a bunch of ale...... But I'm sorry, my black beard, even if I wanted to drink and wanted to drink to death, died in a coffin......

The ale wine has long been drunk, what to do.

At this time, a sake that suddenly popped up and ranked among the top famous wines, and the lethality of the dwarf black beard was definitely outstanding for a while!

Seeing the undisciplined words of the dwarf black beard, the corners of the mouth of the freighter owner, who had been frightened and nervous before, twitched slightly, and he didn't know where to speak.

And the strong man looked at the dwarf with a longing expression on his face, and he was also blindfolded.

If it weren't for the fact that it was right in front of him, he would definitely not believe that this thing in front of him would be a legendary powerhouse!

Legendary......

It is his high-level professional who is now looking forward to it all his life.

Sean smiled, took out a cyan wine bottle from his arms, held it in his hand and shook it: "Brother Blackbeard, we are all your brothers, don't ruin our relationship because of some unwarranted things." ”

As he spoke, he shook the small bottle in his hand again.

Seeing this, the black beard patted his chest very proudly: "Don't worry, with my black beard covering, I dare not say that I am rampant on this island, but at least I am safe and worry-free!"

PS: When the Gnoll Bloodfang was sent to the wasteland mission, he took in two younger brothers, a dwarf and a snake man.
