Under the blue sky, a beautiful fast sailing ship glides lightly across the turquoise sea, leaving a long white trail. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the bow of the sailboat, Han Fei, who was wearing only a pair of shorts, comfortably leaned back on the recliner and enjoyed the scorching sun, which was both an enjoyment and a cultivation for him for a move that others might cause serious sunburn to their skin. The rays of pure solar force penetrated through the skin and penetrated into the veins and bones, and had a subtle resonance with the innate true qi accumulated in the body, absorbing and devouring it in every detail.
Of course, this kind of cultivation of absorbing sunlight is not completely without other consequences, such as Han Fei's originally fair skin has turned a bronze after a long period of sunburn, which is not much different from those pirate sailors who have been adrift at sea all year round - this is also an important purpose for him to bask in the sun.
Now Han Fei's new identity is a maritime adventure merchant, and the Snow Gull at his feet is his cargo ship.
The sea adventure merchants are very similar to the lone merchants on the mainland, except that their trade is completed on the sea, and most of the sea adventure merchants are composed of adventurers of the human race or the sea tribe, and they sail the sea with a fast sailing ship, engaged in marine trade and smuggling activities.
Each merchant is a brilliant adventurer, often with great force, daring to sail a small ship into the ocean in pursuit of profit, and having connections with each other that even pirates dare not easily provoke.
This new identity was carefully prepared for him by Terina, and she also obtained the certificate of adventure merchant of the Jialai tribe, so as to ensure that Han Fei could pass unhindered in most of the sea areas and not be attacked by the sea clan.
And this Snow Gull is also extraordinary, it was originally a private pleasure boat in Vikari, which was ordered from the largest shipyard in the Hanhai Empire, the hull is made of the hardest black ironwood to withstand the attack of wind and waves, and the triangular sail made of spirit animal skin has a sail circle, which can sail quickly in the windless state.
The cabins inside the Snow Gull are luxuriously decorated, with living rooms, bathrooms, small bars and other amenities, and can carry twenty-seven crew members and sailors to sea at a time, which is exactly the same as the kind of rich yacht surname of Han Fei's previous life.
The Snow Gull had been docked in the harbor of Misty Island, so it was captured unscathed by Terina, who ordered it to be converted into a trading cargo ship with a crew of seven highly experienced sailors, so that Han Fei could reach the Blue Whale Island in the depths of the ocean comfortably and smoothly.
After sailing on the sea for a week, Han Fei completely felt Terina's carefulness and affection, but this heart made his experience into a trip like enjoyment.
"My lord, we are about to enter the Nederin Sea...", a bearded sailor walked up to Han Fei's side and said respectfully, "We will avoid the most dangerous area, although this may extend the voyage by five days, it is relatively safe." ”
The rude-nosed sailor was the Snowgull's temporary captain, Lu Man, and one of Terina's most loyal subordinates, who had been to Blue Whale Island several times and was familiar with the shipping lanes and the island, so he was assigned this task.
Located in the southeast of the Solomon Islands, the Nederin Sea has been separated from the offshore area, with a vast area and a complex environment, with many sea tribes and spirit beasts inhabiting it, even the most daring sea adventurers have to be careful when they come here.
"Got it, Lu Man, you're the captain of the Snow Gull, and all the voyages are up to you!" Han Fei smiled and said, "How about we have a drink first?"
He lifted the ice bucket from under the chaise longue, and a bottle of wine soaked in it was filled with an alluring mist that made people salivate at the sight.
Lu Man couldn't help but swallow, every sailor was an alcoholic, and every captain was a barrel, and those who could not drink were the object of ridicule, and they were very difficult to resist the temptation of good wine.
And every bottle of wine hidden under Fort Terina was good wine, and the Snow Gull carried hundreds of bottles, both for Han Fei's enjoyment and as one of the goods used for trade, and fine wine was a popular commodity no matter where it was.
The cold red wine was poured into the crystal glass, although Lu Man did not forget his duty, but he still couldn't resist the temptation to take the glass: "Thank you, sir!"
"Come, a toast to the smooth progress of our voyage!" Han Fei said with a smile and a toast.
The two wine glasses touched each other slightly, making a crisp and pleasant crashing sound, and Lu Man couldn't wait to raise his glass and drink it all, but Han Fei's face changed slightly, he looked up at the sky in the distance and said, "This guy is really endless, it really can't be ignored!"
"Lu Man, you keep sailing, I'll go back when I go!"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Han Fei suddenly spread his wings and jumped into the air, breaking away from the Snow Gull and going straight into the sky in an instant, quickly rushing into the clouds in the sky.
From the day he left Misty Island, Han Fei felt that someone was following and peeping behind the Snow Gull from afar, and it had not disappeared for ten consecutive days until now.
This kind of tracking and watching came from the sky, and it was extremely hidden, if it weren't for Han Fei's divine sense being so powerful, it would really not be easy to find the existence of the other party, then it was undoubtedly a sky-level existence.
At the beginning, friends and foes were unpredictable, and Han Fei, who didn't want to make trouble, still ignored it with the mentality of waiting and seeing, but the other party's patience was obviously beyond his expectations, and now that the Snow Gull was about to enter the dangerous Nederin Sea, Han Fei didn't want such an unstable factor to exist behind him.
He unfurled the Wings of the God of War and the Ailerons of the Saint at the same time, and the speed of his flight was pushed to the extreme, passing through the air like lightning, and soon approaching the tracker locked by his divine sense.
The other party obviously didn't expect Han Fei to actually discover his existence, and he was caught by Han Fei before he could react.
It was a gray-robed mage with a staff in his hand, and he was riding on the back of a cyan giant eagle, whose wings and body were faintly surrounded by clouds and mist, which were difficult to detect if they were not seen up close, and they were undoubtedly cast some kind of hidden spell.
Han Fei's rapid approach made the mage instinctively prepare for battle, the pale cyan shield unfurled, and the head of the staff raised high shone brightly.
Han Fei did not rush up to attack, but hovered dozens of meters away and asked in a deep voice, "Who is Your Excellency, and why do you keep following my ship?"
The gray-robed mage also stopped walking, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "Your Excellency Han Fei, haven't you heard my name from Terina?"
"It turns out that you are the Hastings ** master who was invited by Vikari..."Han Fei's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Vicari died in my hands, do you want to avenge him?"
Regarding this mysterious mage who lived in seclusion on the island of Solomon, Han Fei had indeed heard some things from Terina, and the other party was hired by Vikari to help the Black Skull and other main warships block the attack of the Boundless Storm in the sea battle, but he did not make a move in the later battle and quietly disappeared, and he did not expect to appear here.
"Vikari, he's just a brave pirate leader!" a disdainful smile appeared on the mage's thin face, "I don't care about his life or death, and if he wasn't paid enough, I wouldn't have been able to do anything for him." ”
"Then what made you follow me so concerned?" Han Fei asked coldly.
According to Terina, this wind ** master's surname is lonely and his strength is unpredictable, and the tracking process along the way also shows his strength, but Han Fei is not stunned at all, the samurai has a natural advantage in single-handedly fighting the mage, and he also holds in his hand a powerful weapon against the mage - the crossbow of the wind god.
If this Wind Master came with hostile intentions, he would definitely not mind letting him fall here!
"I know, there is a powerful wind-type spiritual magic holy weapon in your hand..."Hasting's eyes revealed a scorching light: "And you lent it to that female mage of the Chamber of Commerce, so that she can release the Divine Rank ** Boundless Storm with the strength of the seventh order!"
"This artifact is a book, and if I'm not mistaken, it's one of the long-lost books of the elements, the Book of the Wind!"
Han Fei was taken aback for a moment, the fact that he lent the Book of the Wind to Aurelian was limited to Menledney and a few others, they would never go around shouting, how did Hastings know?
"Why do you think I lent her this book?" Han Fei couldn't help but ask, actually admitting that the Book of Winds was in his hands.
Of course, there was also a hint of murder in his heart, because the other party was very likely to covet this book, so he would follow closely.
"I have a special spell..."Hastings explained: "Soul lock on a powerful magic weapon, and be able to perceive its existence within a certain range, so I found out that this book was transferred to your hands, I remember that the Book of Elements must be recognized before it can be used, and the female mage obviously released the ** spell inside after receiving its recognition, unless she dies or voluntarily gives up, it is impossible to transfer it to your hands again." ”
"So, this Book of the Wind must be yours, but I'll lend it to her for the time being!"
"You're right!" Han Fei smiled faintly, but his eyes were cold: "Then you must be here for this book?"
