"The Bibo family sent an invitation to the party. ”

"Nope. ”

"The Chiba family sent an invitation to the afternoon tea party. ”

"Nope. ”

"The Sail family sent an invitation to the fishing tournament with a large number of gifts. ”

"Accept the gift, we can't let people think that we don't enter, as for the invitation, refuse. ”

While the forces lurking in Faro Bay reacted differently, Midi, who had finally made it to the upper class of the West Coast, fell into a state of inextricability.

The various invitations like snowflakes, the various encounters during the trip, and the almost cannibalistic eyes of many famous ladies and ladies, made Midi can't help but start to wonder if he had gone a little too far. Perhaps, the battle with the flowing wind should be fought for dozens of rounds before deciding the winner.

But at this point, the only thing Midi could do now was to turn down all the invitations one by one.

However, one of these invitations, which piled up like a hill, caught his attention.

"An invitation to the Sea King Festival?"

Midi looked at the simple invitation and muttered to herself.

The Neptune Festival, as the name suggests, is naturally a maritime festival on the West Coast.

For a region that thrives on maritime trade routes and various marine resources, the content of such festivals is naturally old-fashioned rituals and celebrations, plus all kinds of shops and balls, etc., and there is not much to say. Midi's focus was on the people who attended the festival.

As the biggest annual event on the West Coast, the Sea King Festival is also a battle between the major maritime families and the power to rearrange their seats.

Why is the Yunlang family the first family of maritime affairs, and Feifan is not? It was decided at the Sea King Festival.

Now, Midi and Lionheart Dojo, who are in the limelight, are also qualified to participate in this competition. But at the same time, since Midi was able to enter, the Hella Dojo, which had developed a strong force on the west coast earlier than Midi, was naturally invited.

At that time, what kind of actions will the Delos Empire behind it take?

Thinking of this, Midi's brows couldn't help but frown secretly.

After all, the Aquaman Festival is a rare opportunity for all the great powers of the West Coast to come together, and from a military point of view, it can be said to be the best time to wipe out all the great masters. Even Midi, when he thought of this possibility, would be moved, not to mention the Zhenluo Dojo that came up to implement the martial arts policy?

In the previous life, Midi remembered that the Delos Empire also found a high-sounding reason to bring all the major maritime families together, saying that it was to discuss future development and divide interests. However, in the end, he turned his face and denied people, detained all the heads of the family, and took this opportunity to attack from Belmar and the empire at the same time, and occupied Faroe Bay in one fell swoop.

In this life, at the Sea King Festival, perhaps, the Delos Empire will also adopt the same strategy.

It seems that it is necessary for me to prepare in advance.

It's just that Midi also knows very well that although the heart of defense is indispensable, he must not fall into the rhythm of competing with the Delos Empire for strength.

If you have to compete with the Shin Lo Dojo in everything, then the result will only turn into a war of attrition to compete for the national strength of both sides.

It is important to know that the goal of the Delos Empire is to "rule" the West Coast, "blockade" this sea area, and then "monopolize" Sky City and the Awakening Land. The Hella Dojo adopted a variety of highly aggressive tactics and aggressively expanded its power on the West Coast to gain territory, all of which were based on this strategy.

But Midi has no interest in monopolizing Sky City, and the facts of the previous life have also proved that this ambition of the empire cannot be realized at all, and no one can complete this blockade.

Therefore, now that he has gained a firm foothold, what Midi has to do is not to attack, but to seize the opportunity while defending.

As long as you can find the entrance to Sky City faster than everyone else, enter Sky City, and get the best awakening place, then what impact can the situation in Faro Bay and even the entire West Coast have?

"Speed up the construction of the ironclad battleship, investigate the waters around the Sea King Festival, and at the same time, release rumors that the Shalla Dojo is a lackey of the Delos Empire, see how the reaction is, and then make more contact with those maritime families to gather contacts. Kelvin, these things are in trouble for you. Midi glanced at the bespectacled demon scholar beside him, who had always done things well, and gave the order.

"And what about me?" asked the bald man at the other end of the room.

"Come with me and get ready to explore the southern seas. To the paladin's question, Midi replied without hesitation.

With Midi's order, one after another, new three-masted full-beamed sailing ships descended into the sea and sailed towards the vast southern seas.

The 20 sailboats, which were scheduled to take a month to be delivered, were all in place in just one week. This is not to say that the shipbuilding skills of the Feifan family have improved by leaps and bounds, but because they took out the sailboat that was originally kept in the dock for their own use in advance and gave it to Midi to further improve the relationship between the two parties.

This is the benefit of showing strength. You don't have to follow the rules and follow the rules, but you can enjoy benefits that ordinary people can't imagine.

As for the crews of these twenty ships, Midi didn't have to worry at all - they could be transferred directly from Belmar, and they could also directly draw the experienced elites of the Hamilton family without training new people at all.

In this way, it can not only allow Belmar's power to penetrate further into the west coast, but also speed up the progress of maritime exploration, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, twenty ships are nothing in the endless South China Sea, so Midi will not count on these numbers just on the surface.

Secretly, he also ordered the Red Lotus Dojo and Wells to dispatch a full eighty sailing ships, plus the twenty ships of the Lionheart Dojo, a total of one hundred sailing ships, like an open giant net, to begin to explore many islands in the South China Sea!

And Midi herself still maintains her usual appearance, usually cultivating in the Lionheart Dojo, occasionally going out to participate in a few high-level tea parties, and secretly, sorting out the search information every day.

However, even so, the search is still extremely slow.

Obviously, Sky City isn't that easy to find.

Even Midi, who has memories of her previous life and is a reborn, can't easily touch its outline.

The southern seas are so vast that no one, even the oldest fleet in Faroe Bay, knows everything about it. Most of the time, the sailing ships sent out by Midi could only sail aimlessly, and in their respective areas of responsibility, nothing could be found, not even a single anomaly of noteworthiness.

Occasionally, sailboats will spot outcropping reefs or deserted islands, but these islands are so small that you don't even have to go ashore to see them in full view. And on these islands, naturally, there is nothing.

After a few weeks, the progress of exploration is not small, but unfortunately, in all the areas explored, there is nothing that Midi wants.

"Where will the entrance to Sky City be?"

Looking at the map of the southern seas with more and more "red crosses" on it, Midi fell into deep thought.

He clearly remembered that in the previous life, the appearance of Sky City was divided into two stages.

The first stage is the "connectivity" stage. During this period of time, the small realm where Sky City is located and the Great Thousand Ages Realm where the Arad Continent is located gradually began to overlap, resulting in several rifts appearing in the South China Sea, through which one can directly enter Sky City, which is called "connection".

The second stage is the "manifestation" stage. The small realm where Sky City was located completely collapsed, and as a result, the entire Sky City was unabashedly exposed to the South China Sea of the Arad Continent, and everyone could see its towering tower.

In the previous life, Midi, Fina and Alice were able to enter Sky City and find a place of awakening after they broke through the blockade of the Delos Empire through a special secret route after the appearance of Sky City.

But in this life, since we want to seize the opportunity, it is natural to find a crack in the "connection" stage, so that we can find the awakening place with the best environmental conditions before the awakening tide arrives, so as to pursue the "perfect awakening", and then step into the realm of level 50 and above one step earlier than others.

Although Midi knew very well the location of the sea area where the main body of Sky City appeared, the location of the rift and the main body were completely different things. Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to search through trawls.

It's just that, looking at the charts, he gradually found that something was wrong-

Many fleets have explored areas that are far away, even beyond the location of Sky City itself. Although the rift may be some distance away from the main body, it can't be so far away, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to sit at the house in Farowan and be accidentally sucked directly into Sky City?

The scope of exploration is beyond the size of the small realm itself, and it may not make sense to explore any further.

There must be some problem that I have overlooked, what could it be?

Midi asked herself, but she couldn't get an answer.

At the end of the day, the Reborn aren't omnipotent, and when it comes to maritime, Midi isn't very good at it. Not only that, but the people around him, such as Fina, the queen of magic bullets, or Alice, the witch of the fog, don't know much about it either.

And, considering the various butterfly effects that Midi can bring about after her rebirth, the situation is even more complicated.

Just as Midi was pondering, a rough voice came from outside the door of the study.

"Head, I'm going to go out for a while, the exploration team is in some trouble, and it seems that I have to go out myself. Walking into the study, Dixon couldn't hide his excitement despite saying "trouble" all the time.

After staying in this farroe bay full of money, and only kicking the gym so many times, most of the time it was Midi himself, as the doorman of the Lionheart Dojo, he had no chance at all, and the bald man felt that he was about to rust.

"What's the situation?" Midi asked, slightly surprised.

Since Dixon took the initiative to ask for help, it meant that the ships at the Lionheart Dojo were in trouble. Who else would dare to trouble themselves in Faroe Bay now? Midi was curious.

"It's a pirate!" replied Dixon immediately.

"Pirates?" said Midi, repeating, and suddenly, it dawned on her.

That's right, pirates!
