After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 7 Bloody Hunt

In the not-so-spacious cabin, the air was filled with a faint musty smell.

Ryan didn't care.

Lying on his back on the wooden bed, looking at the dim shipboard, his violent heartbeat gradually calmed down.

The strength of the new captain of the [Black Rose] and his guards was far beyond his imagination.

What kind of power do "first-order [scholars]" and "first-order [soldiers]" mean?
  How can one obtain such power?

Lane is unknown.

Fortunately, although Freni saw the identity of his bloody son, she seemed to have no intention of pursuing him. After a brief question, she let him go.

This made Ryan a little confused - what is her purpose?
  But no matter what, Ryan did not feel the presence of malice in Freni.

After all, according to Freni, she still needs to serve as the navigator of the Black Rose. Until a replacement is found, her safety is relatively guaranteed.

Ryan could only comfort himself in this way.

The situation is stronger than the person, but his strength is still too weak.

The weak never have the right to speak, let alone the right to decide.

Thinking of strength, Ryan's thoughts couldn't help but extend to "travelled places".

During his last trip, he died under the siege of four beach crabs. Now that he thinks about it, that grotto should be the nest of several beach crabs. He struggled with the original beach crab for too long, which resulted in him being attacked by heavy rain. Besieged by beach crabs returning to their lair.

——Next time, you have to lure the beach crabs away from the cave nest and attack them separately.

Ryan thought so.

After the Traveling Clone was upgraded, his strength became even more powerful. When dealing with a Beach Crab alone, even if he didn't use sneak attacks and faced it head-on, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Just improving by one level gave him obvious feedback. If he upgraded a few more levels, even if he could not obtain the "Path Profession" for the time being, his self-protection ability would be greatly improved.

Thoughts in his mind were ups and downs, and gradually, Ryan fell into sleep.

He is too tired.

The series of encounters from waking up to now have made him physically and mentally exhausted. If it hadn't been for the upgrade of the traveling clone that allowed him to recover a little, he might have passed out long ago.

Now in a relatively safe environment, he could no longer suppress the fatigue.

……

The climate at sea has always been unpredictable.

This sudden rainstorm left quietly as well.

The rain gradually stopped, the wind and waves slowly subsided, and at dusk, the sea surface returned to calm.

The largest port in Silver Moon Bay.

A fifth-level sailing cruiser has just set sail.

It is 150 feet long, has a displacement of an astonishing 800 tons, and is equipped with a full 40 cannons. The flag fluttering in the sea breeze is painted with the pattern of the Royal Navy of the Augustus Dynasty - swords intersecting, Above is a surrounding purple flower spike.

The Royal Navy is the "most terrifying hunter" in the eyes of offshore pirates.

Almost no pirate can escape its pursuit.

At this moment, on the second deck of the cruise ship [White Dove], Lord Sproul put down the brass telescope in his hand, with a solemn look in his eyes.

Nailed on the wooden mast behind him were more than a dozen wanted posters, all of which were portraits of pirates wanted by the Royal Navy.

Among the dozens of wanted posters, two stood out.

Not only do they have dazzling bright red lace, but the size of the wanted posters is several times larger than other wanted posters.

On these two wanted posters, there is a woman and a man drawn respectively.

"——[Darkmoon Witch] Freyne...and her bloody son, whose name is Ryan Leland, who killed the eldest son of the Governor of Silvermoon Bay."

"A heretic, and the last blood descendant of a ruined aristocracy." Lord Slop wore a decent aristocratic dress and an exquisite wig. He was once a commoner and was particularly concerned about his image.

He had captured many pirates on wanted orders, and his outstanding achievements earned him a title from the kingdom.

However, my family knows my own affairs.

Lord Slop knew very well that the position of Lord, without the influence of major factors, was already the limit of his life.

In the aristocratic system of the Kingdom of Augustus, a lord is not recognized as a real noble. It is usually used by the kingdom to reward civilians for outstanding merits, and it is not hereditary.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three generations of hard work to be promoted to a baron and join the real aristocracy.

Lord Slope could not wait that long.

And now, a perfect opportunity was right in front of him.

Two Sons of Blood appeared in Silver Moon Bay.

Lord Slop doesn't want to capture the [Dark Moon Witch], but he must capture the "Ryan Leland" who was once a noble but is now an ordinary person.

The "bloody mark" of the [Golden Rule] can be tracked by the [Lawkeepers] of the Kingdom's "Law Path" to determine its approximate strength.

[Dark Moon Witch] is a first-level official professional like him, and is an extremely rare "Sea Witch". Lord Slop thinks that he is not very sure, but "Ryan Leland" is different.

This guy who dared to kill a noble turned out to be an ordinary person who had never even been exposed to the Taoist profession.

Lord Slop himself would not be able to forgive himself if he let such a "fat sheep" go.

As long as he captures or eliminates a Bloody Son, he will receive enough merit to become a baron!

Lord Slop ordered in a cold voice: "Sail with the wind and pursue at full speed! After taking down the Bloody Son, the reward of gold pounds will be distributed among all of you. I will not take any of it."

Hearing this, the navy on the ship cheered loudly, worked harder, and chased towards the distant target.

……

"Wow wow..."

Waves crashed against the hull.

Ryan was awakened by the hunger in his belly and the fragrance wafting from his nose.

Opening his eyes and stretching, all the accumulated fatigue disappeared at this moment. Ryan looked at the wooden table not far away.

At this moment, there is a plate of toasted white bread, two oranges and a glass of ale on the wooden table.

At sea, fruits that can supplement vitamins are rare, and it takes a long time for ordinary people to enjoy them.

The hunger in his belly urged Ryan to get out of bed. After eating all the food, he was satisfied and then leaned on the wooden chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was only then that he noticed that his clothes were still wet, his whole body was sticky, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Putting on the linen clothes and trousers prepared nearby, Ryan frowned.

The rough friction made him very uncomfortable.

But under such conditions, he could only force himself to adapt.

Through the small window in the cabin, Ryan saw the faint moonlight.

"Have you slept for more than six hours..."

Ryan whispered to himself.

Although he didn't know the specific time, it should have been noon when he was rescued on the Black Rose, and now, it was already dark.

“I don’t know if the [Travel] function is refreshed at 0 o’clock every day, or only every 24 hours...”

Ryan speculated in his mind.
