Townsend was not in a hurry, for him, coming to this world did not have too much utilitarianism.

There's no need to be busy exploring, and there's no need to rush to trigger procurement tasks.

Townsend prefers to take a small boat, leisurely while studying spells, while using magic to drive the boat to Port Royal.

It doesn't matter if you don't have charts, divination is still a good way to find your way in this world.

"It's more difficult than I thought it would be to touch the power of space, and even if it was to replace some of the knowledge requirements with idealism, the principle alone would be enough to give people a headache."

Townsend sat cross-legged in the center of the boat, his mind constantly deducing various spell models.

He is working on the spell system of the Eight Rings: the creation of a half-plane.

As the name suggests, this spell allows the caster to directly create a half-plane that can be used for storage, hiding, or even trapping enemies, depending on the caster's magic and knowledge.

Of course, if the caster knows about a half-plane created by another creature with this spell, they can connect there with that spell.

Almost all mages will not miss this spell because it is so convenient.

Tang Sen naturally wouldn't miss it, but at the level of the Eight Rings, the difficulty of the spell had risen sharply, and he had already started studying this spell when he was in Faerun, but he didn't have much of a clue yet.

Even the Surgical Fruit has spatial abilities, but the use of the Devil Fruit is closer to instinct than the accumulation of knowledge.

Tang Sen casually touched the void, and a vaguely shaped crack appeared, but it dissipated directly almost instantly, as if hallucinating.

"You can't even open the door, let alone carve out a new space in the middle of the boundary wall."

This is, Townsen's heart moved slightly, opened his eyes, and looked at the sea in the distance.

It's a sailboat.

With Town's eyes, he could already see the black pirate flags on the masts, and the dirty pirates on the deck.

"After drifting for more than half a month, I finally ran into a ship, is it still a pirate ship?"

Townsend casually divined, he was already very close to Port Royal, if it was in the past, in the sea so close to Port Royal, there would be no pirates.

The pirate ship had apparently spotted Townsend floating on the sea, and two pirates were standing on the side of the ship pointing at Townsen, but the pirate ship was not heading towards Townsen.

This is normal, even pirates are not so boring, a small ship, a person looks at it and is shipwrecked, there is no oil and water on the body to scrape.

Just as the wind was blowing, the pirate ship sped up with full sails, and passed not far from Townsend in the direction of Port Royal.

"Interesting."

Townsend sat back and watched them leave, and he wasn't so bored to find trouble with a group of ordinary pirates unless the other party didn't look long.

"Is it because I took away the living forces of Port Royal before, causing pirates to start plundering near Port Royal?"

"But looking at the appearance of these pirates, it seems that they are not prepared for battle before plundering."

There was no point in guessing, and with a gentle slap of the ship's side, the boat suddenly began to accelerate, breaking through the sea and speeding towards the pirate ship.

Half a day has passed in a flash, and the silhouette of Port Royal has appeared above sea level.

Townsend couldn't help but stand up and look at the place where he started, the scene of using money as bait to take away most of Port Royal is vivid, but now, Port Royal is still crowded. No, it's even a little more lively than it used to be.

But Townsen's eyes narrowed slightly.

The pirate ship skillfully docked at the docks of Port Royal, and the pirate leader disembarked and even paid a berthing fee.

As for the other boats docked at the wharf, most of them, except for those fishing boats, also had black sails, and the people who came and went in the wharf square looked quite vicious, and the sound of muskets was heard from time to time in the towns behind.

It's a mess.

"Has Port Royal been taken by pirates?"

Townsend didn't really care about the belonging of Port Royal, he came here just to revisit the old place, but he didn't expect such a big change.

"Even if there is a reason why I took the strength and strength in the first place, but in a few years, an island controlled by the Royal Navy should not become like this."

"It seems that time in this world is flowing a little faster than I thought."

At this time, Townsen's boat slowly approached the square, but it attracted the attention of many people - a ship without even sails could dock, and anyone would be amazed at the luck of the other party.

Stepping on the wooden plank of the dock, a manager leaned in, he was dressed decently, but there was always a strong air, his eyes looked Tang Sen up and down, and said: "I see that you don't dress like a poor ghost, do you have a shilling on your body?" ”

Before Tang Sen could speak, he rubbed his hands: "Other items are fine, the price of going to Port Royal is not cheap." ”

Townsend flicked a gold Gini coin in his hand.

After the authority was elevated, the infinite money bag or anything was long gone, and the money rune in the palm of his hand allowed him to withdraw all kinds of money at any time.

The manager's eyes lit up, and he skillfully blew towards the gold coin, put it to his ear and listened, and his eyes suddenly narrowed with laughter.

"It turned out to be a noble young master, and he was really generous."

He leaned closer, and said eagerly, "For the sake of gold, I remind you that Port Royal is not a place where a man like you can live in peace. ”

He pointed to the pirates who were glancing towards him, intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "They all think that your excellency is lucky that a small ship was not overturned by the wind and waves, but in my opinion, your lordship is very unlucky. ”

"It's much worse to be targeted by these people on the island who deserve to be on the gallows than to be drowned."

Tang Sen looked at him calmly and took a step back slightly, avoiding the fishy smell on the other party's body.

"However, I'm the most warm-hearted person." The other party still spoke freely: "Seeing that you are from a good background, I am willing to make friends with you and protect your safety in Port Royal, of course-"

He rubbed his thumb and forefinger together and smiled.

Behind him, several people moved their positions to this side, and their right hands touched their waists without a trace.

Tang Sen couldn't see what the other party was thinking, he showed his wealth, and these people wanted to take advantage of the other pirates before they noticed.

Thinking about the fact that I risked my own troops and went directly to the governor, I was worried that this situation would happen, and now. But it's not interesting anymore.

Townsend didn't look at him, but looked at the town behind the docks and the familiar governor's mansion halfway up the mountain.

"I have a question."

He calmly asked, "Since this place has become a pirate's lair, why is it still called Port Royal?" ”
