Just as the gossip of the Sharan Chamber of Commerce's President Charan Viros and Minas Tiris's guardian dragon Levi in the Temple of Love and Beauty began to spread widely in the circles of Drawing Water City, a three-masted merchant ship from Silvermoon City slowly drifted down the Sebrin River.

It was the Sword that had been circulating for decades by the John Chamber of Commerce, and had been the favorite ship of its founder, John Sr.

Now that old John had died, his captain was nominally Alyssa, even though she had steered the old ship many times.

In fact, for the sake of a good omen, a ship like the Sword has long been rotten along the coast of Sword Bay in the Northland.

It's just that these captains, who generally don't have much higher education, still enjoy it.

You can't also learn what those nobles call any ship, and what the princess is!

Moreover, in their impression, the probability of a merchant ship called the Princess being robbed at sea is much higher than that of other ships.

Are they all called princesses? If you don't rob you, who will rob you?

The Sword paused for most of an hour as it passed through Minastilis, and under the personal supervision of Captain Elisa, a large group of gnolls who had been waiting in port carried boxes of heavy cargo onto the ship.

After the cargo was loaded, the crew clearly felt that the ship's waterline was sinking so badly that it had almost reached the limit of the merchant ship's displacement.

Some crew members couldn't help but mutter:

"What are you transporting? This is already the largest cargo ship in our chamber of commerce, right?"

"Whatever it contains! Even if it's full of gold, it won't give us an extra brass thumb salary. Another crew member laughed and mocked.

"It's too, whatever!" the crew member scratched the back of his head and smiled.

"What a foolish mortal. ”

Felix, who is the leader of the Kingo Adventure Troupe, who has been working with the John Chamber of Commerce for a long time, scoffed at their remarks.

He looked at the cargo boxes that were about to fill the warehouse, and muttered with a slightly solemn look in his eyes:

"Such a sinking cargo is either ore or metal weaponry, if the latter is the risk, the risk of this journey will be at least five times higher, and if the former is related to magic..."

But after thinking about it, he put it all behind him, and instead returned his burning gaze to Alyssa's seductive back.

Begging for a living on the sea, how can there be no risk, even if he really meets a pirate, he Felix is not a dry meal.

As a high-level warrior up to level 12, even in the face of a shipload of pirates jumping en masse, he can kill them in a panic and flee in a panic, and by the way, he can also show some bravery in front of Miss Elisa.

This is the sixteenth year that their Jingo Adventure Group has cooperated with the John Chamber of Commerce, but the previous leader has always been his father.

And his father and Alyssa's father have known each other for many years, and they have been working well together before, and they have experienced a lot of ups and downs on Sword Bay together.

When his father proposed to let him join the Kingo, he refused.

He was a dignified level 9 mid-level warrior back then, where did he go, and he didn't have a future as an adventurer?

But it turns out that if the Silver Moon Federation, which has been peaceful for forty-six years, wants to make money, it is really better to be an adventurer.

This is especially true of the maritime trade, which has become more and more prosperous over the years.

In order to deal with the increasing number of pirates, the various chambers of commerce paid the powerful adventurers, especially the lawyers, enough to make them bummer.

That's how Felix's father took advantage of the situation.

However, high remuneration also means high risk.

Although some pirates adhered to the principle of 'recyclable robbery', they did not continue to kill merchant ships by force, but only let them go after they had taken all their belongings and weapons, or gave them a ransom in exchange.

But if you're unlucky enough to encounter the most vicious pirates, you'll often 'evaporate' along with merchant ships.

If they don't die, they're likely to be sold to Karinsan, the largest slave trading hub in the Korrell, where she can be found as a plantation labourer, a gladiator, or a slave for fun.

So Felix had been resisting this until two years ago, when he couldn't stand the seniority in the army in the Silver Moon Knights, and his stupid boss, who was obviously low in strength and full of superiority in front of him, when the other party was chattering about his family background in front of his colleagues, he directly shut the other party with his fist.

And he was also expelled from the Silver Moon Knights who had abandoned him for at least eight years for violating military discipline!

Also, in peacetime, there is no opportunity brought by military exploits, why should he, a warrior from an adventurer's family, compete with those guys with prominent families?

After several setbacks, he finally came to his father's Jingo adventure group, became an ordinary adventurer, and boarded the Old John.

Originally, the blood in his heart that had cooled down with the shattering of the knight's dream was instantly rekindled when he saw the red-haired female captain Elisa.

That year.

He met his 'goddess'.

I also regained my dream.

His dream is to be the guardian knight of that 'goddess'!

The only knight!

Once a person has a dream, he or she is often able to realize his eye-popping potential.

In order to deal with the various potential risks on the sea and the possible invasion of pirates, he used his limited literacy level to read many books on shipping, and at the same time practiced swordsmanship, and the professional level has also changed from a 9-level intermediate warrior to a 12-level high-level warrior.

Just yesterday, the day John Sr. died, his father, who was also gray-haired, resigned from his job with the Kingo Adventure Group in discouragement.

At the same time, many adventurers who were older than their father also resigned from their positions, and were replaced by a younger generation like Felix.

And Felix, who has accumulated enough qualifications and is a high-level warrior, was naturally elected as the new leader of the Jingo Adventure Group.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a corresponding way to change jobs.

To be precise, there is currently no satisfactory path for him to change careers.

His father was a shield warrior, but he really didn't want to be a meat shield that could only be beaten forever.

His original dream was to become a spell swordsman.

That is, the magic swordsman in the mouth of adventurers.

After all, what warrior doesn't want to be the existence of those demonic and martial arts dual cultivators in the minstrels?

And this profession does exist.

The Spell Swordsman is a fantastic combination of magical power and weapon fighting skills.

They learn to perform arcane arts while honing their fighting abilities.

Gradually, the swordsmen learned how to reduce the failure rate of performing arcane magic while wearing armor.

In addition, they can use weapons to cast and store spells.

But the reality was to pour cold water on him.

Alyssa, after testing his talent in the Zeellandia style, gave him a pitying look and said... With his level of intelligence, there is a high probability that he will not be able to learn even the simplest of arcane arts.

And inform him of a brutal truth:

The vast majority of spelling swordsmen are part-time mage warriors, warlock warriors, or bard warriors, and there is also a chance that they can become spelling swordsmen.

What they all have in common is that they are almost all lawyers, but they are part-time fighters for various reasons...

And there are so many of them who work part-time as warriors in Zelandia's Tactics of War...

Most of them have developed a physically stronger body than some warriors because of their years of mining.

However, they are not limited to cursed swordsmen, but are more common in the "Arcane Axeman", "Arcane Spearman", "Arcane Hammerman", and "Arcane Crossbowman".

There is even a chainsaw sword in one hand and an arcane warhammer in the other, and at the same time, he is also a mage, a spell swordsman, and a master of xenoweapons.

After suffering from reality, Felix decided to make Storm Warrior his advanced class.

It's also a rare but powerful class, and it's all about dual-wielding blades and finding a balance between maneuvering obstacles made of deadly blades.

The poets use dancer-like terms to describe the Stormstorm Warrior's movements and his twin blades, but mastering the battle has nothing to do with dance.

The Storm Warrior focuses on learning the ultimate mystery of dual-weapon combat, the destruction of his enemies, with one goal in mind.

Storm Warriors rarely learn their martial arts through any form of formal training.

Instead, they master their martial arts through constant trial training and experimentation on their enemies.

Similarly, no matter how famous the Storm Troopers become, they are rarely seen with apprentices.

They say, "Their fighting art can only be learned, not taught."

Felix had always disbelieved the last rumor, believing it to be nothing more than a way for the Storm Troopers to inflate their own fortunes.

Even the most mysterious arcane arts can be taught, let alone the martial arts of dual-wielding weapons.

However, he has no martial arts teacher, so he can only explore himself through a copy of the Storm Warrior's Codex that he accidentally found from Alyssa's black cat Taobao shop.

One of the advantages of being a merchant ship guard is that he can 'legally' experiment with those pirates and slowly master his martial arts.

He had a feeling in his dark...

If he is attacked by pirates again during this trade, he will only need to experience another bloody battle!

On the road of the Storm Swordsman, he could barely touch the threshold and successfully promoted.

"Set sail, set sail. ”

Alyssa's crisp and charismatic voice brought his mind back to reality.

Just before leaving, Felix stumbled upon a figure that was not too tall but made him awe-inspired.

He had seen a short biography of the other party in the Silvermoon Federation's Morning Post.

It was Lord Herbert, who was born in Silvermoon City like him.

No, even the other party is more humble than his birth, just a retired veteran, a farmer who went bankrupt due to the orc invasion of the Northland farms.

But the other party is now a dragon knight with a bright future and a long lifespan.

No one has been able to bottom out of its strength so far, and it is conservatively estimated that it is at least a level 17 master.

Is... It's so enviable that I'm jealous...

"If I hadn't chosen to join my father's adventure group, I'm afraid I'd have chosen to join the army in Minastiris, right?"

Felix couldn't help but think so.

But life is like a ship that can never return, and the port that has been missed, can never go back.

To say that there must be regrets, but he... No regrets.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Captain Elisa's back.

As long as you can silently guard his back on this ship, then everything is worth it.

Just when the sky was slightly white, the Sword, which had been traveling day and night, finally sailed out of the Sebrin River at about seven o'clock in the morning, and saw the figure of the city of drawing water.

Felix had just gone to the rest pod and squinted for a while, when he was suddenly awakened by a violent shaking.

At the same time, a slightly panicked alarm from the crew came from the cabin:

"There has just been an unknown collision in the hull, and there is a perforation and water seepage in the No. 4 cabin!"

Shocked, Felix put on his coat and rushed to the bilge, only to see that Elisa, the captain, had arrived earlier than him.

Looking at each other's neat outfits, and comparing them with their disheveled clothes, I couldn't help but feel slightly ashamed.

Not to mention that I slept to death, I didn't get dressed as fast as a beautiful woman.

"Don't panic, it should just be an accident hitting the reef and doing a normal blocking. ”

Alyssa, on the other hand, was calmly directing the crew to block the blockade.

"Drawing Water City is close at hand, and we will sail directly into Port Seven in a moment, where there is a Hogg shipyard owned by Zeellandia, where we can dock the ship for repairs. ”

"Yes, miss!"

With Alyssa personally commanding, the crew, who were originally panicked by this sudden accident, also calmed down.

As the plugging umbrella was filled, the turbulent water finally stopped pouring in.

It's just that Felix is a little puzzled, how could this route, which has been taken countless times, hit the rocks for no reason...

However, this is the responsibility of Alyssa's crew, and he, an adventurer who works as a guard, still has no right to interfere.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that there were a lot of accidents today.

Just as their merchant ship sailed into the harbor to enter the propagation plant, they were told:

Due to the collective maintenance of the battleship in Drawing Water City, not only Hogg Shipyard, but also several other shipyards are already full, and if a large merchant ship like this needs to be repaired, I am afraid that it will have to wait for two days.

If it is in other cases, it will be two days to wait, but this batch of goods from the John Chamber of Commerce is obviously urgent, otherwise there would be no need to travel day and night.

After some coordination by Elisa, they prepared to dock the Sword in need of repairs at Port Seven, and unload all the cargo and transfer it to a merchant ship temporarily leased from the Hogg Chamber of Commerce.

This is also a regular operation in the Northland maritime trade.

Moreover, because of Old John, the relationship between the John Chamber of Commerce and Zeellandia and even the Hogg Chamber of Commerce has always been good, and it is normal for anyone to temporarily rent a merchant ship.

Felix glanced at the Hogg Chamber of Commerce's merchant ship, which was also a three-masted merchant ship, with a displacement even larger than the Sword.

It's just that... This sleek wooden deck... The new one is a bit too much.

It can't be a new ship that has just been built, right?

At the end of the transfer of the cargo, one of the crew members did not know whether he was too tired or his feet slipped, and he lost his center of gravity with the entire wooden cargo box and fell to the ground with a bang.

There was a stabbing sound, and all the goods in the container were spilled.

The crew member with a sprained ankle was still moaning instinctively, but it felt as if most of the dock had fallen silent.

It's so quiet that it's a little weird...

As soon as the crew member looked up, he saw the shining gems, Mithril ingots, and magic ornaments scattered all over the ground, and swallowed in dismay.

This... That's a lot of money...

Endless panic and fear ensued.

Oh my God, there are so many magic items in there, if even one of them breaks, he can't afford to pay for it!

Felix, who arrived at the first time, was almost blinded by the magic materials in this place.

Even though he ordered his companions and crew to clean up the scattered cargo and cargo boxes as quickly as possible, he still felt the prying eyes from all directions.

Full of fanaticism...

With greed!
