Captain Jaeger made the right decision, as he approached Ruava Island, the sailing ship of the Flame of Truth, which was chasing after the ship, continued to fire chain bullets at the Vengeance in an attempt to limit the speed of the Revenge, but the Revenge was obviously faster than the ship of the Flame of Truth, and the other party was just wasting ammunition needlessly when maintaining a distance beyond the range of the chain projectile.

This alarmed the Imperial warships patrolling the waters off the island of Ruava, and the fast sailing ship that appeared on the horizon fired a warning shelling to try to figure out what was happening here. Captain Jaeger quickly ordered his crew to signal the Imperial warship, and after understanding the Revenge's message, the galleon began shelling the ship of the Flame of Truth.

They started with a large-caliber mortar, a short-barreled, parabolic ballistic, powerful gun. It is said that only Imperial warships were equipped with this artillery, and it seems that only they were allowed to equip it. The sound it produced when it was fired was so deafening that even Maffeo, who was on the deck of the Vengeance, could clearly hear the sound of its cannon being discharged.

The first test shot did not hit the ship of the Flame of Truth, and it smashed into the sea not far from the side of the ship. Even so, the waves slapped the ship of the Flame of Truth into tilt, and Maffeo believed that if the waves were a little stronger, the ship would have been knocked over.

The second shot was no longer so lucky, and the shell hit the ship's mast straight away. As for the mast, which was the lifeline of the sailing ship, it was destroyed at this time, and it could no longer provide any possible movement for the ship. Captain Jaeger then ordered the Vengeance to turn its hull 90 degrees and fired a round of shelling with 10 smoothbore front-loading guns on one side aimed at the ship of the Flame of Truth.

The black round bullets that swept through the sky towards the opposing ships seemed to taunt them, and when they hit the hull, they exploded violently. One of the rounds struck a powder keg piled up on the deck of the opposing ship, causing an instant explosion of flames that Maffeo thought was a fireworks set off by the people of the West Coast as they welcomed the New Year.

The ships of the Flame of Truth eventually sank to the bottom of the sea in flames, and almost no one remembered them as a bunch of madmen. Because most of the people who have come into contact with them and survived, they will choose to forget about them. Captain Jaeger won, and the cheers of the crew seemed to him to be an incomparably precious treasure. He looked at Maffeo with a smug expression. "Easy, it seems that the other side does not have enough experience in naval warfare, and this is also the capital that I can win this naval battle. ”

"You've succeeded, congratulations, Captain Jaeger. Maffeo said helplessly.

"Let's go to the cabin and get ready for a while, we'll dock in an hour. ”

"Okay. ”

In fact, Maffeo didn't have much to prepare, he had always been like this, a man, a sword, a bag of money. There was hardly much to prepare, so he lay gloomily on the bed in the cabin, looking out the porthole at the sea.

The sound of seagulls rang in his ears, but Maffeo felt like a long time had passed. When he opened his eyes, he realized that he was asleep. The cabin had begun to get really busy, whether it was the travelers who were busy trying to disembark and disembark, or the crew who were hauling their cargo off the ship, everything seemed chaotic again. Maffeo stretched and jumped out of bed.

When he came to the deck, the island of Ruawa really caught his eye. Maffeo never imagined that the island would be home to a town no less prosperous than the Empire's capital, Vitalen, and it seemed that the island truly belonged to the Delos Empire. Like most towns in the Delos Empire near the national border, it was encased in two white walls with towers that Maffeo could not even reach. There is also a lighthouse on the shore near the side of the Revenge's anchorage, which is used to transmit signals. The layout of the harbour here is not much different from that of the West Coast, and in fact you will hard-find a different port.

In fact, when Maffeo actually entered the town, he found that there was a layer of walls inside the town, and inside the inner city wall was an inner city where nobles gathered. This town layout is both strange and familiar to him, and so far he has had some contact with this layout in the first ten years of his life. In the years that followed, he became accustomed to Huttonmar's style of architecture.

Most of the houses here are spired, triangular in shape, with red tiles on both sides of the roof, and three windows protruding from the attic on one side. The exterior walls of the house are nailed with wood chips shaped by a wooden frame, while below the house, the entrance is supported by four white columns, each of which is arched to each other.

Maffeo didn't stop too much when he left the Revenge, and the ship was only a passing guest in his short life. Moreover, he did not have a good impression of Captain Jaeger, not to mention that the other party did not seem to have time to talk to him in the busy handling of goods. Zmelman left a little earlier, and when Maffeo came ashore, he found that his opponent's back had melted into the town. Well, anyway, it's time for him to do what he needs to do.

With Aiden providing no information, it was not easy to find Ham Rogers. Maffeo decided to find himself a place to stay first, believing that he would stay on the island for a while. The centre of the outer town is the bazaar, and the streets with a large number of inns and restaurants and pubs are located on either side of the bazaar.

The intricate alleyways of this place rival that of Hutton Marr, and Maffeo had been lost as a blind man for a long time in such a strange town. Here, he would hardly see a scene of depravity like the backstreets of Huttonmar. Almost every street is patrolled by a whole team of guards, and every now and then they will seduce a beautiful girl passing by. They were also able to quickly quell the conflict that was taking place in front of them.

As Maffeo passed through an archway, he finally saw the rows of hotels. The sign outside the door rattled in the breeze, and Maffeo found the cheapest hotel after looking at it for a long time. It only costs 75 gold coins a day, and of course, Maffeo will not consider the accommodation conditions, and it is difficult to have a comfortable experience in a hotel at this price.

Once he had found his place to live, all Maffeo had to do was find the man named Ham Rogers. Wanting to find out that there are many options available in this bustling town, Maffeo decides to go to the nearest Central Bazaar, which is also the most crowded part of the town. Maffeo was still careful to keep the ghost hand hidden in a half-shoulder cloak, he didn't know what the attitude of the people here was towards the ghost hand. If he attracts the guards by revealing his twisted ghost hands, it will be trouble, and he cannot take any chances.

He never thought he had reached the end of his luck, and he didn't think he would be able to get to Ham Rodgers easily. Whether it's questioning a stall owner at the bazaar, or eavesdropping on a conversation or two of the loud decibels, he can't get any news of Ham Rogers. Instead, he learned about the existence of the Thieves' Guild, which was said to have been hiding in the town for a long time, and had always been a major problem for the lords here. He thinks the thieves are trying to rebel, but the more guards feel that the real fighting power of these guys is not worth mentioning.

Night always falls inadvertently, and after another inquiring to no avail, Maffeo discovers that the castle in the inner city is not far away with a faint light. Guards around lit torches, and some shopkeepers placed candlesticks lit in card slots next to shop signs. It seems that there are no magicians here, and the magic street lamps on the west coast can provide no light here.

In such a bustling bazaar, it is inevitable that there will be arguments. As Maffeo was about to ask the next stall owner for information about Ham Rogers, another reckless guy who came out of the way nearly knocked over his stall. In the midst of the bickering between the two sides, Maffeo only felt a pain in his head. Before the other side turns the argument into a brawl, Maffeo thinks that it would be wise for him to get out of here as soon as possible.

Just as he turned around, he accidentally bumped into one of the guards, but the other man did not threaten him aggressively. Because the quarrel behind them had already attracted most of their attention, they could only think of Maffeo as an outsider who wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible. They stopped stall owners and customers before they turned the quarrel into a brawl. And their faces were pale, provoking the guards was something they didn't want to see, and the two of them who were full of momentum just now were like deflated balls.

One of the guards stretched out his left hand and gently snuggled at the two of them. The two men seemed to understand what the guards meant, so they each stepped forward and shoved 10 gold coins into the guard's hands. Well, maybe that's a money payment to the guards, because the guards didn't arrest the two on charges of disrupting the market, and they had every reason to do that. But it was clear that they wanted more than a tip that was paid on time each month.

Maffeo looked at the comical scene and shook his head. He finally decided to go back to the hotel to sleep, he felt too tired. Perhaps dragging his tired body was an unwise choice, and the last few days on the Vengeance had left him without a good night's sleep, and now he felt severely sleep-deprived. He hadn't even forgotten to get a bite to eat, and when he got back to the hotel, he collapsed on the bed and snored.
