After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 68 Whirlpool Five Islands, Three Pirate Groups
  Under the soft moonlight, a fifth-level sailing cruiser slowly sailed into the port.

From seeing the Whirlpool Islands to arriving at the port, it took the [Black Rose] several more hours.

By the time we finished anchoring and secured the ship, it was already dark.

The port is not dark under the moonlit night. Street lights are placed every few meters, making the place brightly lit.

Ryan and Phryne stood on the bow deck.

Ryan's eyes were slightly solemn as he swept across the large number of pirate ships in the port.

It is roughly estimated that there are at least a dozen pirate ships docked at this port, and it is certainly impossible for this port to be the only one in the Whirlpool Islands. One can imagine how many pirates have gathered on the Whirlpool Islands at this time.

"It's a little troublesome..."

Ryan muttered to himself, then looked at Miss Witch next to him: "Lady Freni, after completing the baggage supply, we will leave the [Black Rose] from this port. I remember that you can walk quickly on the sea. ? Keep the ship farther away so that if something unexpected happens, we will have room to make a detour."

Freni also noticed the surrounding scene and nodded: "That's how it should be."

"Excuse me, Mr. Lane."

"This is what I should do." Ryan shook his head slightly, and then got off the boat alone.

The current situation in the Whirlpool Islands is unknown, and Freine and Cecilia are temporarily unable to show up. The work of baggage supplies and preliminary intelligence can only be completed by him alone.

Of course, in order to ensure his safety, Freni gave him a special small dark blue crystal.

This is a one-time prop made by Freni. As long as it is injected with spirituality, it can develop a powerful protective shield in all directions. If a first-level professional wants to break through it, it will be impossible in a short time. At the same time, Freni, who felt that the shield was activated, would immediately go to support.

The port is a little quiet at night, and the coolie workers who make a living here have also gone back to rest.

In the distance, in the market area of ​​​​the port land, Ryan saw many multi-story wooden houses. On one of the wooden houses, there was a sign that he was very familiar with.

——Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce.

The Whirlpool Islands are the last transit point from the outer sea area to the deeper parts of the sea. It is natural that a large chamber of commerce has settled there.

Ryan didn't have a good impression of the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce, but he couldn't say he disliked it either.

Although the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce's behavior is consistent with its name, which is a bit darker, it is at least credible. As long as you give it money, it will give you what you want.

Now that I have arrived at the Whirlpool Islands for the first time, it would be a pretty good choice to go to the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce to solve the baggage problem, and then simply buy some information.

Fifteen minutes later, Ryan walked out of the Black Onyx Shop to the warm "Welcome again" voice from a young woman named "Stacey" who was the steward of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Dark, it's really too dark."

Ryan couldn't help gritting his teeth.

The supply of baggage is a trivial matter and does not cost much, but the cost of intelligence is a bit scary.

500 pounds, in exchange for basic information and current intelligence on the Whirlpool Islands, no two prices.

You know, the reward for a copper hammer master to create a low-level rare item is only 1000 pounds!
  Although he was distressed, Ryan also knew that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. He could only reluctantly buy this information when Stacey looked at the "fat sheep" in his eyes.

Fortunately, this information is worth the money.

Walking on the wooden streets, Ryan recalled the information provided by the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce.

The Whirlpool Islands are composed of five islands, one large and four small. The four small islands surround the Mingjin Island in the middle.

The four small islands are: Tidal Island in the north, Daliu Island in the south, Baisha Island in the west and Wanggui Island in the east.

The names of the islands are not easy to remember. Lane directly remembers them as North 1 Island, South 2 Island, West 3 Island and East 4 Island. As for the current port where the Black Rose is docked, it is located at the forefront of North Island 1.

The place where Yue Lang was once discovered was Mingjin Island in the center of the Whirlpool Islands. The North Island where he is now can only be regarded as an outpost.

Mingjin Island is very large, with a small, silent volcano in the center. Around the volcano, there is a vast forest called the "Mingjin Forest", in which many monsters live.

It is worth mentioning that due to the influence of the Moon Wolf incident, a large number of monsters gathered in the Mingjin Forest, and many sea monsters appeared in the bays between the four islands in the southeast, northwest and Mingjin Island.

It is very difficult to go to Mingjin Island. Even first-level professionals are in danger of death.

In addition to geographical information, Ryan paid more attention to the power information provided by the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce.

After this period of fermentation, a large number of pirates gathered on the Whirlpool Islands, attracted by the Moon Wolf and the information about the likely existence of treasures.

The strength of these pirates varies from good to bad, and the most important thing to note is the three notorious pirate groups. They all come from the inland sea area, and their strength is not comparable to that of the small men in the outer sea area.

They are the Blood Demon Pirate Group, the One-Eyed Pirate Group and the Iron Eagle Pirate Group.

Among them, the Iron Eagle Pirate Group is the strongest. According to intelligence, the captain of the Iron Eagle Pirate Group raised an extremely powerful flying monster, and the name of the pirate group came from this.

Although the Blood Demon Pirate Group and the One-Eyed Pirate Group are not as strong as the Iron Eagle Pirate Group, their captains are also second-level elite professionals, and their bounties have reached a terrifying 51000 pounds and 55000 pounds respectively.

The three major pirate groups have a tacit understanding with each other, each occupying a small island as their sphere of influence, and the North Island where Ryan is currently located is the territory of the Blood Demon Pirate Group.

This is the general information.

There is no more information about Moon Wolf in the information sold by the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce.

Maybe there wasn't, or maybe the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce didn't know about it, or it was deliberately concealing it.

Ryan strolled towards the tavern not far from the market.

A tavern with a mixed crowd has always been the fastest place to obtain first-hand information.

Before returning to the Black Rose, Ryan plans to go to the tavern to find out more information about Moon Wolf.

As for possible troubles?
  Ryan asked himself, as long as it was not a second-level elite professional who took action, with his current strength, very few first-level ones could beat him.

As for the leader of the Blood Demon Pirates, according to the intelligence, most of the time, he should be in the Blood Demon Pirates' headquarters in the middle area of ​​North 1 Island.

The probability of appearing in this tavern is very low.

……

On Mingjin Island, at the top of Silent Volcano, a big gray wolf sat alone here.

The soft moonlight poured down, leaving strange colors like flowing light strips on its soft hair.

It raised its head and looked at the crescent moon in the night sky, its cold beast eyes softening unknowingly.

On the other side where the moonlight did not shine, a figure leaned on the gray wolf and whispered softly, echoing on the lonely mountain top.

"Come on, come on..."

……

To the north of the Whirlpool Islands, hundreds of nautical miles away, naval ships were speeding towards them.

At the bow of the ship, the eyes of the three black knights were cold and solemn.
