Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 140 Pearl Island

Clap, clap!

Without a sound, all the fixed cables were cut.

The huge anchor was also slowly pulled up.

Hula, at the urging of the second mate, the remaining sailors raised the sails as if they were two people.

The entire ship is now completely under Marvin's control.

But it is not safe now. They are still at the Black Dock Port. Marvin has never illegally seized a ship in his previous life. This time, he dared to do so because of the Wilderness Development Order and the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce's arrest of Laura.

By then, even if the Southern Wizarding Union wants to arbitrate, he will have the September Medal and the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce to compete with him.

No matter what, he was determined to get this boat!

As expected, like other ships, the pilot was a priest of the Silver Church. This cowardly fellow immediately rebelled under the dual temptation of Marvin's scimitar and money, and when Marvin suggested that he could let Collins promote him to a higher position in the Silver Church, he immediately became very motivated.

Although it was night, the lighthouse at the port and the stars in the sky were still there, so it was not difficult to determine the direction.

As long as we can escape from Blackdock Harbor and get to the sea, everything will become simple.

But escaping from Blackwater Harbor is not that easy.

Black Dock Port is a closed port, and the sluice gates are closed at night. If you want to open the sluice gates, you must have a pass and normal travel qualifications.

It is obvious that the Southern Ship that Marvin seized by force did not have normal passage qualifications.

Although they can drive the ship away, they must be allowed to do so by the port staff on duty.

This requires some tricks to conceal the truth.

…

On duty at the Black Dock Harbor Lighthouse.

Two bored soldiers were playing cards.

It was the middle of the night and no one was sailing the boat, so it was normal for them to have nothing to do and play cards.

"Damn, we lost again." One of the guys yelled cursing.

However, at this moment, another person suddenly stood up.

"What the hell is going on? Are you crazy?" The other person was obviously in a bad mood because he lost, and cursed angrily.

"Something's wrong! Why is there a ship heading towards us?"

The soldiers on duty saw the light shining in the darkness.

These flames corresponded to corresponding flag signals, meaning that they should open the gates of Blackwater Port.

"It's the Nanfang, the ship of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce."

"That's not right. They just arrived at the port a few days ago, and the records show they will set sail in two days."

"Why are you sailing so late at night?"

The two soldiers looked at each other and both noticed something strange.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Open the gate." The man said quickly, "The Nanfang has a temporary mission and must go to the southern Cyclone Port to pick up a batch of goods."

"Hurry up."

Captain George!

Seeing Captain George appear, the suspicion in their hearts was slightly alleviated.

After all, everyone knew that the captain of the Southern was George, the third son of the owner of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce.

"But... this is against the rules..."

One of the soldiers said hesitantly.

However, before he could finish his words, another soldier suddenly hit him in the stomach with an elbow!

The latter bent over in pain, and his companion stabbed him again.

He completely fainted.

"Don't worry, sir. We will open the gate for you right away." The soldier said flatteringly, "Master Meng Ding of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce is very kind to us. We will definitely settle this small matter for you."

Marvin was stunned.

After using the disguise and the deceiver's mask, he did look exactly like George, and the difference in size was erased in the darkness.

He originally wanted to use bluffing to deal with the two soldiers on duty.

But I didn't expect that there was one of them among them.

"The White Elephant Chamber of Commerce has bribed a lot of soldiers at the port..." Marvin laughed in his heart. He nodded and casually threw a wizard gold coin over.

"That's the best. The shipment from the south won't wait."

The soldier nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry."

"Everything is taken care of for you. I'll make this guy shut up."

Marvin nodded and disappeared into the darkness.

…

At the dock of Blackdock Harbor, the sluice gates were opened silently.

Everyone on the Southern looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never imagined that Lord Marvin had managed to get everything done in just a short while!

"Master Marvin is indeed as magical as the legend says."

"Yeah, as long as we're out of the port, there'll be no problem."

"Ms. Laura didn't lie to us!"

The sailors chattered excitedly in low voices.

"Stop talking nonsense and start the boat!" Marvin appeared on the boat again.

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

With the sails pulled to the highest point, the helmsman steered the Southern out of Blackwater Port and plunged into the vast ocean!

…

"Sir, which direction are we going?"

In the brightly lit captain's cabin, the white-bearded navigator asked flatteringly.

Marvin looked at the gradually disappearing coastline and finally reported a coordinate!

The navigator listened, spread out the nautical chart, compared it with the compass, and his face suddenly changed: "You are crazy!"

The next second, the scimitar was placed on the navigator's neck again.

"It's best not to question my decision."

"Going to that place is the best way."

Marvin said coldly.

The priest of the Silver Church said with a bitter face: "But that is a cursed place. If the crew knew about it..."

"They won't know. We will only stay on that island for a while." Marvin said calmly, "No one will go to the island except me."

"And no one knows where that is except you, does they?"

The navigator smiled wryly and nodded.

At this moment, two sailors suddenly shouted hurriedly: "There is a ship catching up behind us!"

"They're faster than we are!"

Marvin sneered: "Now, do you have any other routes to choose?"

The pastor was silent. Just as Marvin said, the two ships behind were chasing them. If they took the normal route, they would definitely be caught up.

There is hope only if we go to the place Marvin mentioned.

He gritted his teeth, quickly left the captain's room and found the helmsman.

On the vast ocean, the Nanfang began to deviate from its original course and headed southeast.

…

"They changed course!"

"Shit, something must be wrong."

On the sea, two ships belonging to the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce were closely following the lonely shadow in the distance.

They were all ships from the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce. They were the first to notice that something was wrong and immediately started chasing.

Their speed is indeed much faster than that of the Southern, because their ships are equipped with [Wind Wizards]!

This profession sounds very famous, but it is actually just a career that some magic apprentices who lack wizarding talent switch to.

The purpose of their existence is to provide strong wind to the sails, so that they can sail much faster.

Of course, because it is driven by the wind wizard, it will not last very long. It is okay for chasing ships in the short term, but not in the long term.

After the Southern changed its course, they had no choice but to chase after it.

Two hours later, the two sides were getting closer.

However, at this moment, a thick fog suddenly rose over the sea!

"Oh no, we are getting close to that sea area."

The captains of both ships realized that something was wrong!

In the entire east coast, only that cursed sea area is shrouded in such thick fog all year round!

Superstitious legends about this sea area began to emerge in the captains' minds.

To chase or not to chase?

This has become a big problem.

The wind wizards were exhausted, but the Southern was right in front of them.

The captains of the two ships had a brief discussion and decided to continue the pursuit!

After all, it’s so close!

However, at this moment, a sailor suddenly shouted: "Captain, the Southern is speeding up!"

accelerate?

How is this possible?

The two captains were very surprised. There was no wind wizard on the Southern, so how could it suddenly speed up?

However, when they rushed onto the deck, they indeed saw that the Southern was leaving them behind at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It rushed towards the cursed sea without hesitation!

At the current speed of both sides, it will take at most two hours for it to completely leave the two ships behind!

After all, the fog on the sea is too thick, and visibility is reduced . Once the target is lost, interception can only rely on luck and experience.

The two captains had no choice but to give the order to return.

They didn't want to be buried with the Southern.

That is a one-way journey!

…

And on the deck of the Southern, there was a cheer!

They could also see that the two ships had finally given up the pursuit.

They are finally free!

Everyone looked at Marvin with an almost superstitious look!

It took Marvin less than half a day to go from worship at first, to fear later, to superstition now!

At this moment, on the sail of the Southern, a small figure is happily releasing his power!

Storm Spirit!

Marvin's first servant.

As early as when he crossed the Screaming Mountains, he accidentally discovered that the gift given to him by Hathaway had been successfully conceived.

The newly born storm elves already possess considerable power .

As Marvin's servant, his loyalty to Marvin is beyond doubt.

A level 1 storm elf naturally has two abilities, one of which is controlling the wind!

In this regard, it is almost its instinct, and it is much stronger than those wind wizards!

As soon as the storm spirit appeared, it immediately distanced itself from the ships behind.

The Nanfang headed madly towards the target sea area.

Marvin stood at the bow, staring coldly at the sea.

As time passed, the sailors recovered from their initial excitement.

The thick fog on the sea never dissipated, which made them a little suspicious.

However, due to Marvin's authority, no one dared to slack off.

That night, everyone was so tired that they almost collapsed.

It was not until dawn that the fog began to ease a little. But at this moment, the lookout sitting on the cable suddenly screamed:
