After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 37: The Shadow of the Moon Wolf and the Secret of the Treasure (Please follow up)
  The intersecting swords and the surrounding purple flower spikes symbolize the flag of the Royal Navy fluttering in the sea breeze.

Ten nautical miles away from Langya Island, the [White Pigeon] stopped here, and beside it, a small three-masted sailboat slowly approached.

"Swordsman" Il stepped onto the deck of the White Dove. As soon as he landed, Lord Slop's hearty laughter came from the front: "Mr. Il, I haven't seen you for a while. It's true this time." It’s my trouble.”

"My lord." "Swordsman" Il saluted slightly: "I am here at your invitation."

"Haha, come on, I've prepared a welcome banquet. Let's chat while we eat." Lord Slop greeted him warmly, but his heart was actually bleeding.

Because of an accidental opportunity, "Sword Master" Il owed him a favor, so he promised to do his best if he was asked to do anything in the future.

Of course, help is help, and the reward should not be less at all.

And asking a powerful professional with a good reputation in the first level to take action would cost even Lord Slop a lot of physical pain.

But the matter had come to this, and Lord Slop couldn't care less. No matter what the price, he had to capture this bloody son.

Facing Lord Slop's invitation, "Swordsman" Il nodded. Until the two of them walked into the restaurant one after another, Il suddenly stopped.

Lord Slop turned his head in confusion and said, "Mr. Iyer, what are you doing?"

"My lord, I'm sorry." El lowered his head: "I didn't come alone, there was someone else following me."

"Huh?" Lord Slop was slightly surprised. As a senior first-level professional, he was completely unaware. The only one who can do this is...

"Hello, Mr. Lord." A ray of darkness flowed out from the shadow behind El, forming a humanoid body.

The strong and overwhelming spirituality made Lord Slop's face freeze, and he said in a solemn voice: "Second level, black knight..."

Surprise, confusion... Countless thoughts were swirling in his mind. After a few seconds, Lord Slop bowed to the figure in the shadow with a slightly stiff body: "Lord Black Knight, I wonder what brings you here?"

"Hehe..." The black knight in the shadow smiled in a low and hoarse voice: "I know your goal, don't worry, I'm not interested in the Bloody Son."

"I'm just here to look for some trace."

After hearing this, Lord Slop, regardless of whether he believed it in his heart or not, still showed a relaxed look on his face: "If there is anything I can do to help you, I will do my best."

"Just pretend that I don't exist. If you are in trouble, I might be able to help." After leaving these words, the black knight's body turned into a fluid shadow and disappeared again, leaving only each other looking at each other in the restaurant. , Lord Slop and "Swordsman" Il were in a slightly awkward situation.

"call……"

After a few seconds, Lord Slop breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, I'm glad you can come and help me. Mr. Iyer, let's eat first."

Perhaps because he felt guilty for bringing the black knight, "Swordsman" El shook his head slightly: "My lord, where is the target you want to deal with? Let's take action first."

"No rush, no rush." ​​Lord Slop's calm expression returned to his face: "He is now on Langya Island, which is a pirate port. Our warships will be besieged if they come over."

"Wait here first, wait for him to come out, and then we will pursue him."

"If he is going to stay put, then implement the backup plan."

Hearing this, El nodded slightly: "I understand."

……

Langya Island, port.

On the Black Rose anchored at the shore, pirates were like hard-working ants, constantly going back and forth, transporting drinks, food, fruits and other supplies.

In addition to the [Black Rose], there were several other pirate ships parked at the port. The pirates on board looked at the new guy, but no one came up to say hello or threaten him.

Pirates live a life of licking blood, and will not conflict with each other if they are conscious and have no conflict of interest.

Ryan stood in a wooden house not far from the shore, chatting with a middle-aged bald man with a big belly and wearing a luxurious robe: "Mr. Sman, are you buying a ship?"

"I'll definitely get it, but at this price..." The middle-aged bald man squinted his eyes and smiled, like a cunning fox: "Sir, you also know that those who work in our chamber of commerce are pursuing It’s all about profit, we took such a big risk to open the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce to Langya Island, and the purchase price is naturally far lower than that of Silver Moon Bay.”

"It doesn't matter, you name the price, and if it's suitable, we'll sell it."

Ryan laughed.

The ship he is about to sell at this moment is naturally the original [Black Rose].

With the new [Black Rose] with better performance, this small three-masted sailing ship is already a burden.

Now that I have arrived at Langya Island, it is natural to sell it as soon as possible.

As for why Ryan should handle this matter...according to Freni, her appearance is too distinctive to be shown in public, and Cecilia, well, you expect an unsmiling knight to negotiate business. ?
  Therefore, as the navigator of the Black Rose and the third highest-ranking person on the ship, Ryan became the only candidate.

Ryan was a little helpless about this, but he also knew that he was the most suitable candidate. As a pirate port, the Langya Island Port is very well-equipped. Even late at night, there are still people on duty at the dock, and the Black Agate Chamber of Commerce is a behemoth that monopolizes more than 90% of the transactions at the Langya Island Port.

Its headquarters is located in the Kingdom of Augustus, its service scope radiates to all countries, and its service targets involve people in black, white and gray areas.

The Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce has a widely circulated saying: "If there is enough profit, I would dare to trample even the law."

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce with such a "course of action" appears on Langya Island.

After hearing Ryan's reply, Siman, the director of the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce, raised his hand with a smile and stretched out a thick and fat finger: "How about ten thousand pounds?"

The pound, the mainstream currency of the Kingdom of Augustus, was made of a mixture of silver and other metals. 1 pound can be exchanged for 10 pence, and 1 penny can buy half a catty of black bread (1 pound is almost equal to 10 yuan). The purchasing power is quite strong.

The price of purchasing a small three-masted sailboat with a displacement of 300 tons is only [-] pounds. This price is indeed a bit low. According to the market price, it can be sold for at least [-] pounds.

But after Ryan thought for a while, he didn't refuse. After all, the base price Freyne gave him was 5000 pounds.

"I can accept this price, but I also have some small requirements."

"Please tell me." The smile on Siman's face remained unchanged.

"First of all, the supplies supplied this time should be considered as extra supplies for us."

"That's no problem." Director Siman nodded. It was just some baggage, which was insignificant compared to the benefits that could be obtained from acquiring the ship.

"Second." Ryan held out two fingers: "I need the black agate dealer to introduce the most skilled blacksmith on Langya Island. It would be best if there is a 'spiritual blacksmith'."

"'Spiritual Blacksmith'... This is not difficult." Supervisor Siman agreed directly. As a local snake, this was not a problem at all for him.

"So, the deal is done." Ryan's eyes were filled with joy. He didn't expect that there really was a "spiritual blacksmith" on Langya Island.

The transaction went smoothly, and both parties were very satisfied as the money and goods were settled.

Ryan returned to the [Black Rose] and handed the transaction contents and money to Freni. Then, he followed Siman and set off to visit the "Spiritual Blacksmith".

As for the ice-tooth saber-tooth fish materials and money needed to cast the sword, they are stored in the space ring worn on his finger.

Yes, a space ring, but this is not the dark blue ring on Freni's hand, but another silver space ring with a volume of only ten cubic meters.

This was given to him by Phryne.

The space ring belongs to the category of "wonderful objects", and its preciousness is directly proportional to its internal volume.

A space ring with a volume of ten cubic meters is a [low-level rare item] and can be made by a first-level professional of the "Artisan Path".

"Spiritual Blacksmith" is not a profession, but a branch of [First-Level Craftsman]. [Craftsman] professionals are specialized in different fields. Some are proficient in weapons and armor casting, some are proficient in construction, and some are specialized in Shipbuilding, etc., and "Spiritual Blacksmith" is the honorific title for [First-Level Craftsmen] who are proficient in weapons and armor casting.

The road at the port of Langya Island is extremely spacious, enough to accommodate four horses running wildly at the same time. Every fifty meters, there are kerosene street lamps beside the road. Coupled with the bright moonlight, this road can be considered bright.

While marching, Ryan and Siman chatted casually.

"There is a 'spiritual blacksmith' settled on Langya Island, Master Oruch. He came with the Black Agate Chamber of Commerce and has been there for several years now."

"If you want to forge weapons with him, you have to bring your own materials, and a generous reward is also essential."

Siman talked eloquently.

Ryan nodded: "I understand."

The Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce will only help him find someone, and he will have to handle the follow-up matters on his own.

"By the way, did you encounter any attacks from sea monsters when you came to Langya Island this time?" At this time, Siman changed the subject.

"Have many ships been attacked?" Ryan's eyes moved.

"That's true." Siman sighed: "Didn't you see that there are so few ships moored at the port tonight? It's just because of this incident."

"It is said that..."

When Siman said this, he suddenly fell silent. Seeing this, Ryan handed over a few silver pounds, and Siman continued with a smile:

"On the night of the full moon some time ago, a second-level monster - Moon Wolf, which is said to appear only on full-moon nights and is extremely cherished, appeared on the Whirlpool Islands. Not only is this monster extremely powerful, it can also be used by professionals of the same level. Difficulty is its opponent, and its appearance often heralds the birth of some kind of treasure on the next full moon night, so it often causes the surrounding monsters to become restless."

"Langya Island is hundreds of nautical miles away from the Whirlpool Islands, but it has also been affected by some aftermath, causing sea monsters to frequently attack ships."

"Many pirates who heard the news rushed to the Whirlpool Islands, trying to find traces of the Moon Wolf on the next full moon night. If they can get treasures, that would be even better."
