――Wren――

After more than two years of sea voyages, the Dragon Eagle finally arrived in the waters of the United Empire of Rice. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After blowing the sea breeze for so long, the lines on Wren's face became much more resolute,

And the skin was also tanned.

He rolled up the unfolded mental nautical chart and handed it to a sailor beside him, and pulled out the monocular from his waist.

Look again at the few ships that have suddenly appeared ahead.

It was a warship of the United Imperial Navy of the Rice Eagle, and the other party had already waved the flag and asked them to lean over and inspect it.

Wren didn't notice anything unusual about the other party, so he put away the binoculars and turned to wave to Captain Robert behind the rudder.

Signal that the boat can be brought over.

Watching Captain Robert give orders in an orderly manner and firmly control the rudder in his hand, Wren felt very happy.

But thanks to this powerful old captain, they were able to get here without any problems.

Of course, Wren didn't forget the group of friends on the Dragon Eagle.

After the Dragon Eagle and the naval warship took overboard, the other side sent an officer and a team of soldiers on board to inspect it.

Wren was not worried about finding any contraband, and the cargo on board had been hand-picked by Mr. Hofdent.

He would carefully study the situation of the destination before buying the goods, and he would definitely not choose to buy such a thing as contraband.

The Navy's examination of the Dragon Eagle went smoothly, but the officer who came up to inspect asked Wren to go through the entry certificate before returning.

If you don't have an entry permit, wandering around the waters of the empire can easily be picked up by the navy as pirates.

The naval officer also indicated to Wren the location of the port where the entry certificate was to be issued on the nautical chart of Wren.

The officers then returned to the warship with their men and continued their cruise.

Wren turned to the stern of the ship and unfolded the chart to point the captain and navigator to their next destination.

It was a small island nearby, a military port in the Black Wave Sea for the United Empire of the Rice Eagle, and was also responsible for approving foreign ships entering the country.

After Captain Robert figured out his bearings, he ordered the Dragon Eagle to set sail.

......

On such a sunny and windy day, you can see the shadow of the destination after half an hour.

It is a small island, estimated to cover an area of only 400 acres, and the whole is in the shape of a crescent.

The back of the crescent moon of the island is a rocky cliff tens of meters high, and the front of the crescent moon is a scenic sandy beach.

The military port pier was built right on the beach.

The Dragon Eagle sailed half a circle around the island and found that the island was full of green trees, forest birds, and a tall castle built in the depths of the dense forest.

There were huge shore fire cannons on the castle walls, and any ship that wanted to attack the military port would have to face the terrifying fire of the shore defense guns.

There are already many warships parked in the dock, including a giant battleship-class battleship,

There were hundreds of gun ports on the hull, and it made people feel chills to look at.

Keeping a distance from the military port dock, the flag was waved to the dock lighthouse, and the other party quickly approved Ren's landing on the island.

Wren took Mr. Hofdent and got into a dinghy from two sailors to the docks.

A soldier brought Mr. Wren and Mr. Hovdent up to inquire about them, and when they learned that they had come to apply for entry, they took them to the office hall.

In it Wren was asked about the nationality of the ship and the purpose of the visit, and finally according to the size of the Dragon Eagle ship,

After paying fifty gold coins, he received the certificate of entry permit from the officer.

There were two items on the entry permit, a scroll with the seal of the Imperial Navy and a specially made multicolored pennant.

After the ship is hoisted with a colorful pennant, it can walk freely in the waters of the Mi Eagle Empire, and the scrolls are mainly for the inspection of the navy that patrols and investigates.

After completing the immigration formalities smoothly, the next step is to move on to the destination [Ruby Harbor].

This is the closest port city to the state of Leonis, where Wren is going to visit Master Uluru.

Contact the eighth master through Master Ululu, and at the same time discuss the matter of finding Sha Anna in the future.

......

In this way, the Dragon Eagle sailed on the sea for another day, and finally entered the sea area of [Ruby Harbor] at noon.

But now the Dragon Eagle can't go directly to the dock of [Ruby Harbor], because the Dragon Eagle is an armed ship.

You must obtain a certificate of entry to enter the port.

It was already customary for Wren to take Mr. Hovdent into the dock in a dinghy as usual,

Together, they went ashore to the Governor's Hall to get the certificate of entry permit.

As soon as you walk on the ruby harbor pier, you will be greeted by a variety of prosperous and lively scenes.

Busy dock workers load and unload cargo on the ship, while passengers on the boat go up and down the gangway.

The surrounding shops and markets are crowded, and there are many vendors of all kinds.

The wide road leading to the city is full of luxurious carriages.

Wren and Mr. Hofdent followed the sailors ashore to a bar near the docks.

The bar is called "Conch House", and the signboard hangs a conch the size of a basket.

Due to the long-term erosion of the sea breeze, it looks very old.

Business in the [Conch House] bar is very prosperous, and you can already hear the hustle and bustle of the customers inside the door.

Pushing open the dilapidated fence door of the bar, Wren immediately heard a waitress scolding: "Eh~ You poor ghost, don't stay here if you don't have money to drink." Go away and get out of the way!"

Wren followed the sound and saw a young male waiter behind the bar pushing and shouting at a red-bearded man lying on the bar.

The big man with a red beard was sloppy, and he carried a long sword as high as a man on his back.

He didn't pay attention to the male waiter's pushing, and lay motionless on the bar with his hands outstretched.

The young waiter got angry, grabbed a broom from behind him, and was about to slap the big man with the red beard.

But he was stopped by the older waiter who had been driven out of the back room, and after the older waiter had scolded the young waiter a few times, he drove him to the back room.

Then he hurriedly took a wooden cup, poured it full of fruit wine, and respectfully handed it to the red-bearded man, saying:

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Ogudo, the new waiter doesn't know you, and I beg your pardon for his rudeness. ”

When the red-bearded man saw the fruit wine, he suddenly stood up.

He took the glass from the older waiter, nodded his thanks, and walked alone to the tattered table in the corner of the bar and sat down.

Wren paid more attention to the figure and long sword of the red-bearded man, but was keenly noticed by the other party.

A pair of eagle eyes met Wren's eyes like lightning, making Wren feel a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts, Wren politely smiled at the other party and bowed his head and apologized politely.

Then he quickly squeezed Mr. Hoofdent to the bar and ordered two fine oatmeal beers and a roast chicken to the older waiter.

After tipping the older waiter, Wren and Mr. Hofdent began to make small talk with the older waiter.

The elder waiter was very grateful for Wren's generosity, and provided Wren with a lot of recent hot information.

For example, now that the United Empire of Rice is preparing to start a war with the Tang Dragon Empire, and because of the impact of the upcoming war,

The pirates went on a rampage to rob all kinds of merchant and passenger ships.

When Mr. Hofdent heard this, he frequently picked up his glass and drank.

There was no change on his face, but Wren knew that he was seriously thinking about the business opportunities in the waiter's words.

By the time Wren and Mr. Hofdent were out of the bar, it was already dark.

The location of the governor's hall had been inquired about, and they called a carriage and went straight over.

At this time, there are still many people in the office hall, and the Governor usually does not appear here.

There are three service windows in the hall, and the other two have clerks, and only the one that checks in is empty.

There is a wooden sign at the window that reads "Suspended".

Wren learned from the people around him that the Governor had ordered that all non-armed ships were not allowed to enter the port.

Wren guessed that this was related to the war between the United Empire of Rice Eagle and the Tang Dragon Empire.

After discussing with Mr. Hoofdent when he returned to the Conch House bar, Wren decided to discuss it with the Governor in person.

I hope to get a port entry permit, otherwise I have to choose to dock at other ports.
