After nearly an hour of preparation, the old man drove the boat and set off again with Liuze.

They circled around the main island of Vortex Country for a small half, and after rounding to the rear, they continued deeper into the eastern sea.

On the way, they also encountered two thieves who wanted to rob them, but they were all thrown into the water by Liuze.

"It's really chaotic here!"

Throwing the two thieves into the sea again, Rokuzawa couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Raids are so frequent that it is difficult for ordinary people to survive here.

When the old boatman saw it, he also sighed with emotion: "This is not the case here!" ”

"But after one war after another, the ninja village of the country of Vortex was shattered, the daimyo completely lost control of the country, and the entire country of the Vortex existed in name only, and chaos was born."

"The daimyo of the Vortex Country is still there?" Rokuzawa was shocked.

The entire country of vortex is in chaos like this, and it's incredible that guy hasn't been killed as the king of a country.

"It's still there!"

The old man nodded, and while rowing, he said: "After all, he is the daimyo of the Vortex Country, even if the Ninja Village is destroyed, there are still many ninjas who are left to protect him, which is enough for him to gain a foothold in the Vortex Country." ”

Rokuzawa was a little puzzled when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Even though there are ninja protections, but the country of vortex is in chaos like this, hasn't he ever thought about leaving?" ”

"Find a stable place to live, that's much better than here!"

The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "He is a daimyo in the country of the vortex, and he will not be a daimyo if he leaves the country of the vortex!" ”

"Especially the country of the vortex has already existed in name only, and his big name has gone outside, God knows how many people are willing to buy it."

"With the remnants of ninjas guarding, on this acre of three-point land, he can at least live a comfortable life."

"If you go outside, you have to send people under the fence and look up to people to breathe, this kind of gap is not acceptable to everyone!"

"That's just as well!" Rokuzawa nodded in understanding.

This is the so-called 'rather for the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix'.

Everyone's life values are different, and their choices are different.

Perhaps, leaving the country of the vortex and completely letting go of the identity of the daimyo will allow the other party to live a stable life in other countries, but that also means completely giving up rights and becoming a vassal of others.

This is too big for the existence of the former king of a country, and not everyone can accept it.

Although the current Vortex Country is in chaos, if you stay here, at least the Daimyo of the Vortex Country is still the nominal king, and if you say a few words within your control, you will be nothing if you go outside.

"By the way, old man, how long will it take for us to get to 'Poison Cloud Island'?" Looking at the vast sea ahead, Rokuzawa suddenly asked.

The old man glanced around, and then silently estimated in his heart, and said slowly: "If the weather doesn't change much, it will probably take half a day, and I can barely reach the 'Poison Cloud Island' before dark." ”

"And if the weather changes, then we will have to rest on the islands along the way, and we will arrive tomorrow."

Hearing this, Rokuzawa stood up, looked at the sky in the distance and sighed, "I hope our luck won't be too bad!" ”

In fact, he didn't care about being delayed, he was more worried about being trapped at sea in a storm.

The sea is no more treacherous than the land, and the weather may be clear one moment and stormy the next.

He thought he still had some strength, but he was still far from being able to resist the great power of nature.

And on this vast sea, if he encounters a storm, even he, a ninja, is as fragile and small as ordinary people.

However, his worries were somewhat unfounded.

The two were lucky, seeing that the sun was about to set at sea level, they did not encounter sudden changes in the weather.

"Look, that's 'Poison Cloud Island'!"

The old man raised his hand and gestured to a small island not far away.

Rokuzawa immediately stood up and looked away, only to see an island shrouded in purple gas appear in his field of vision.

"This miasma is really scary! It really deserves the name of 'Poison Cloud'! He couldn't help but sigh.

From a distance, there was no other color on the island, only a little black island base was exposed on the sea, and it was self-evident how rich the miasma on the island was.

After a short time, the boat arrived at Poison Cloud Island.

Because it was getting late, the old man was no longer able to return to the flight, and he was ready to rest here with Rokuze for the night.

After making a circle along Poison Cloud Island, they chose a windward location and docked ashore.

Although the wind at the shore was strong and cold, the miasma was blown away because of the strong wind, and the old man could barely spend the night here.

Seeing this, Liuze felt guilty, so he immediately moved the rocks and built a simple stone house by the sea to help the old man shelter from the wind and rain.

The wind is strong at night, and no matter how close to the sea, the heat is lost quickly, and his body can bear it, but the old man can't.

If this kind old man were to die here, he would not be able to care about it.

It was also because it was too late and the time was not suitable, so he didn't waste his energy exploring Poison Cloud Island, so he simply stayed with the old man and rested all night.

The night passed quickly, and the sun rose again in the east.

Walking out of the small stone house, the warm sun shone on his body, and Liuze, who had been blown by the sea breeze all night, suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

Because it was too late, and the island was shrouded in poison barriers, they couldn't find firewood at all, so they didn't light a fire all night, just curled up in the small stone house and carried it all night.

Fortunately, the old man had a lot of experience at sea, and he also brought a lot of clothes when he came out.

There was no fire that night, although it was frozen enough, but it was still successfully carried over.

The old man walked out after him, bathed in the warm sunlight, and a comfortable smile suddenly bloomed on his face.

After a long while, feeling that his cold limbs were much more comfortable, he immediately asked Rokuzawa, "Excuse me, how long are you going to stay here?" ”

"Do you need me to stay here and wait for you to return with you?"

Liu Ze waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't be back for a while, and the old man doesn't have to stay to pick me up." ”

"This is not a place to stay for a long time, you better go back quickly!"

As he spoke, he took out another stack of money from his pocket, counted 50,000 and handed it over.

The old man was not polite, took the money, and said in surprise: "However, there are very few ships passing here, and there is no me left to answer you, how can you return, my lord?" ”

Rokuzawa smiled and replied confidently: "Although there is still some distance from the main island of the Vortex Country, it is not too difficult to return with my ability, so the old man doesn't have to worry!" ”

The ninja has the ability to wade through water as if he were walking on flat ground, and all he needs to do is simply set up a raft, or even just a piece of driftwood to rest his feet on, which is enough to help him get back in.

"In that case, let's meet again!"

"Goodbye!"

The two waved goodbye without being too polite.
