With the order to set sail, the Lanye slowly left the port and sailed into the blue sea. The good weather made everyone feel more comfortable, plus they were traveling under the cover of merchant ships, and some of them were drinking and eating, which was not like a mission, but more like going on vacation.

The crew was infinitely happy, sincerely thanking for such good weather, and then for half a month, the voyage was unexpectedly smooth, which can be known from the irrepressible smile on Charles's face, and encountered six or seven naval inspections of Icanathan on the way, all of which passed safely, making people want not to laugh.

Although the coastline is blocked by Ikanathan, and the inspection of passing ships at sea is much more frequent, the merchant ships have passes, so the inspections are relatively relaxed, and they can be mixed with some money.

There was still a day or so to go before the Tanta Empire's territorial waters, and large dark clouds slowly gathered in the distant sky, but no one paid attention to it.

In the evening, Qina also walked out of the cabin, stood at the bow of the ship and breathed in the damp and salty air of the sea, looking at her country from afar, and her smile was extremely relaxed.

Only Angus and Breed did not dare to slack off at all, and the more they got to the end, the more dangerous they became, a law that has been proven countless times in practice.

In the distance, Ikanathan's patrol boat approached, the situation they were most familiar with these days, but Angus and Brad smelled danger in the air, an instinctive feeling of being a professional killer and a professional bodyguard.

Brad came to Qina's side and whispered a few words in her ear, and Princess Qina nodded and followed him back to the cabin. At the same time, Angus also finds Charles and takes him to a no-man's corner.

“...... This should be the last and most dangerous inspection in the territory of Ikanathan. Angus cautioned, "We're about to get out of their sphere of influence, so it's impossible to get through easily, so you have to be careful and be careful with your answers." ”

Charles agreed, but he didn't think so, so many inspections have passed smoothly, how can there be a reason to fall into the ditch in the end, I hope they are too cautious, not afraid.

Despite this thought, Charles still cheered up a little more, laughed and greeted the dozen officers and soldiers who walked down from the patrol boat, and dealt with them carefully according to Angus's instructions.

The first to board the Lanye was a lieutenant colonel officer who looked to be less than twenty years old, the soft hair under the military hat was a beautiful color as blue as the sea, and a pair of indifferent eyes were also blue, which was suitable for his navy status, as well as the cold temperament that naturally flowed, it seemed that as long as he stood beside him, there would be a refreshing sea breeze.

At such a young age, he is already a lieutenant colonel, and he is still working on the front line, which shows that the future is limitless. Is this just a merchant ship, with such a high-ranking officer personally inspecting the ship?

Angus's words echoed in his ears, and Charles didn't dare to be sloppy anymore.

Behind the young lieutenant colonel was a guard with a knife, although he also wore the naval uniform of Ikanathan, but it was evident that it was the officer's personal bodyguard, for his knife was not standard—the knife, the blade was very narrow and long, and judging from the state of the handle and scabbard straight in a straight line, the curvature of the blade was not very large, and it must have been very sharp—Angus, who was leaning on the side of the ship, looked at this side from a distance, and the ease on his face was not at all the same thing as the fluctuation in his heart.

"What country are you merchant ships?" asked the young officer, who came up first, in a low voice as he walked up and down the deck, his tone so flat that he could not hear any emotion.

Charles took the passage documents that had been prepared long ago from his assistant, sent them to the young officer, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, my lord, we are jewelry merchants in the Duchy of Monterte, and this time we want to do some small business in the Tanta Empire. ”

"Tanta?" the young officer took the documents in his hand, but his eyes watched the inspection actions of the other soldiers, and after a while, he didn't find anything, and then he looked at Charles with a smile on his face and opened the papers, "Why do you want to go so far away to do business? ”

"Oh, hehehe," said Charles, with a calm face and a typical businessman's humble calculation, with a cautious smile, "you also know that Montelte is a small country, and it is really ...... for us businessmen Hehehe......"

"Big countries don't necessarily make money. The young officer returned the document to him, "Why don't we consider staying here from the Duchy of Montelte, passing through the Starian Empire and Ikanathan?

Charles hurriedly waved his hand because of the young officer's words, and said in horror: "No, no, no, of course not, don't get me wrong, in fact, Starmia already has a team of our merchants going, and your country has blocked the coastal border, we can't help it, besides, there is a batch of goods on this ship that has been booked by several great nobles of the Tanta Empire a long time ago, and we can't go if we don't go!"

"I see. The young officer nodded, stopped talking, and his eyes fell on Angus, who was leaning on the side of the ship, and after lingering for two seconds, he motioned for the guards behind him to come over and investigate.

"Hello, sir, please show me your transit certificate. "The guards were very polite.

Angus smiled and took out what he had prepared and handed it to him.

"Who is that?" asked Charles here, the young officer.

"Oh, that's our personal bodyguard, you know, there are so many pirates at sea right now that we don't dare not be careless. ”

"Where?" the young officer continued.

Heh, this identity reminds him of his game-like cruel experience years ago.

At that time, he was only eleven or twelve years old and naïve, Brandon Palmer, an impulsive boy who didn't know the height of the sky, actually followed people to be a killer - a killer and a bodyguard, completely different professions, but the young officer saw the temperament of the same kind from Angus's body and smelled the familiar smell of blood.

"It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning...... Charles shook his head with a smile, "it's just a small organization that isn't famous." ”

"What organization?"

Charles looked at the indifferent expression on the officer's face in front of him in surprise, and felt uneasy about his persistence, on this boat, Angus and Brad are indeed concerned, that is because everyone knows that they are not "their own people", but now this soldier cares so much about their existence, it is strange?

"It's called...... Phantom Starry Sky, right? Hehe, this is someone invited by our boss. Charles replied calmly.

At the same time, they saw Angus in the distance taking out a white object and handing it to the guard, who nodded at him, turned back, and handed the white object to Brandon.

"Your Excellency. ”

It turned out to be a white card, and the young officer held the card between his right index and middle fingers, only to find out that it was of a special material.

The pure white card is very thin, but it is very weighty, the material is special, like the metal but not the metal Guan Ze, but it is warm and soft, the tentacles are warm, the card has a few big characters "Phantom Starry Sky", the flying and straight font shows the profound skill of the person who writes, which is impressive, and then there is the contact method and mission scope of this organization.

With such a blatant writing of black occupations such as assassination in such a white place, the aesthetics of his master are really extraordinary!

A smile appeared on the corner of Brandon's indifferent mouth, and he handed the card back to the guard behind him: "Put it away, maybe you can use it later." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Looking at the other soldiers who came back to him one after another, Brandon said to Charles: "Okay, the inspection is here, there will be a period later, I wish you all a smooth journey!"

"Oh, thank you, thank you, you're going, you're going. Charles secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully watched Brandon and the others get off the boat, not realizing that the sweat had wet the clothes on his back.

Angus walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let you be careful, but not scared." ”

Charles shook his head helplessly: "You young people, it's always too simple to think about things. ”

"How so? I'm ......"

Before the words could be spoken, a huge explosion suddenly sounded in the sky, and everyone looked up to see that it was actually a magic signal flare.
