The Emerald Tower

The storm on the eastern route continued.

Even, there is a trend of expansion.

And the fleet that finds something wrong, either avoid it early, or look for several nearby islands to avoid the storm. Although it is not as famous as the three islands of secret law, military port, and trade, it is far less than the capital of freedom, but serves as The island temporarily docked has no problems.

Therefore, when some ships that shouldn't have appeared in this sea area, it is absolutely conspicuous.

A dhow sailing on half-sail, the sailors kept rowing vigorously.

However, the main driving force is still driven by the wind.

It can be seen that the captain of this dhow is definitely a commendable veteran who can sail in a storm, even if the ship is specially made, and only sails along the edge of the storm, not in. Among them, this kind of navigation technology is still amazing.

"Captain, captain, there is a discovery!"

The watchman of the dhow shouted loudly.

Quickly, the dhow began to turn its rudder, and then carefully approached the area designated by the watchman.

And after getting close for a certain distance, this time, there is no need for a watchman, and the sailors of the dhow can also see everything in front of them—

A lot of ice floes, corpses, shipwrecks.

The sailors exclaimed for a while.

"Oh my God! What happened to them?"

"Those are the deputy captains of Kirgill! They are all dead!"

"Look! Kogier from time to time?"

With the exclamation from behind, the dhow captain's gaze was attracted, and he shouted: "Go and salvage the body!"

"Yes. Captain!"

Shouted the two sailors.

After a while. The two sailors returned with their bodies.

"It's really Kogil!"

"It was cut into two paragraphs. It's really too miserable!"

"Miscellaneous? Such a guy is more than guilty--think of the poor man who was robbed by him!"

Surrounding Kirgill's body, the sailors talked a lot, with sympathy from the kind, and sarcasm from the sensible; and the captain of the sloop obviously belonged to the latter.

"Check the surroundings, if nothing is found, we are heading back-this **** storm is getting bigger and bigger. I don't want to go into the sea to feed fish!"

In a perfunctory manner, the captain of the dhow shook his coat, splashing water.

Suddenly, the sailors, who knew what environment they were in, immediately began to take action-salvage the corpse, the corpse that can make them complete the task.

The chief mate of the dhow also joined.

However, soon, the first officer returned to his captain's side——

"Weapon wounds are all the same, they should be caused by a single person... and the floating ice around here. And the burnt ship wreckage..."

The first officer frowned and said, his face was full of surprise.

"Is that the Zelgaon Patriarch?"

The captain asked slowly.

"should be!"

The first officer nodded slowly.

"Hi! How is it possible?"

The captain immediately took a breath. His eyes scanned the floating corpse and the sea area where the ice floes-in his imagination, it should be the good hand of the Zelgaon family who launched the attack together, and then the **** of Kogil lost his life; however, He also didn't doubt the inference of his deputy.

After all, his deputy is an expert in this area.

"The large amount of ice floes basically keeps the original appearance - if it weren't for the storm, we should be able to see a large chunk of ice floes when we arrived here!"

The deputy shook his head as he imagined the appearance while talking.

"Unexpectedly, a piece of sea has been frozen-after all this Zelgan Patriarch..."

The captain's words became lower.

In the end, he didn't say anything. He looked at his deputy and shrugged his shoulders and said: "We are just hired people, and not the enemy of the Zelgaon Patriarch... After completing this task, we will first Leave the trading island and go to Jungang Island for a while-damn guys, always get some troublesome enemies!"

Only the chief officer could hear the following words.

"a wise decision!"

The first officer nodded in agreement.

As a baptized great knight, he knows very well that the consequences of encountering such an opponent-apart from the annihilation of the entire army, there is no other possibility.

Although the guys on Trade Island are very generous, it is absolutely impossible for them to ignore life and death.

After the captain and chief mate set up a plan, of course no one would object to the entire search of the dhow.

Therefore, after a while, with some corpses that could be used as evidence, they left in a hurry.

And shortly after the dhow left.

Two figures appeared in this sea area. After scanning them, they looked at each other, and then, just as they suddenly appeared before, they disappeared again.

However, a confirmation message was secretly transmitted to a place from the hands of these two figures.

On the message, it says—

‘The target strength exceeds the original estimate. It is recommended to stop the operation, and the probability of betrayal is increased! ’

...

The sailing fleet of the Zelgaon family has added several new ships——

A three-masted sailing ship second only to Galen and six two-masted sailing ships.

And this made the number of ships owned by the entire fleet reached seventeen in an instant, especially the two-masted sailing ship as the basic ship, and two Galen ships as the flagship.

This is in Emerald, it can already be called a fleet.

The two magic cannons hidden on the Galen ship made the term ‘fleet’ deserve its name.

For this kind of change, the elder Longk of the Zelgaon family is most excited.

"The fleet of the Zelgaon family! The fleet of the Zelgaon family!"

Such rants would appear on this respected old man every once in a while.

For this old man, the strength of the Zelgaon family is everything.

And for Dean, who made the Zelgaon family quickly become stronger. The old man became more respectful.

In fact. On the entire fleet. The respect for Dean, the patriarch, was obvious-the battle two weeks ago was unforgettable for them.

Dean overturned a fleet of ships alone, which really shocked them.

Especially, when no one of the other party could escape, the shock was like a soul imprint, and it followed these Zelgaon people like a shadow.

And they were originally quite worried about the Gaosai party. At this time, he became extremely confident.

Even fanaticism!

Because they have an extremely powerful patriarch, and they are also an unusually young patriarch-a strong man. The cohesion of a family in Godez is beyond imagination.

Just look at the motivated sailors and acting captains on each ship of the Zelgaon family.

They even can't wait to reach the capital of Gaosai, and get to know the ‘Frost Nobles’ belonging to Gaosai.

It seems that because of such an eager heart, the sea breeze is felt.

The direction in which the Zelgaon family's fleet has sailed since bypassing the storm. It's all downwind, making the three weeks originally estimated to arrive. Two days are missing.

"Master, according to the current speed, we will be able to reach Gaosai Wangdu Port tomorrow!"

Nord reported.

As one of the elders of the Zelgaon family, under the intentional authorization of the elder Longk, Nord has gradually become a link between ships.

Anything will be notified to Nord first, and then Nord will inform Dean.

In this regard, Dean has no objection.

Knowing that a person has limited energy, Dean doesn't mind having loyal subordinates to help himself.

"Well, slow down and wait for your Royal Highness to enter the Royal Capital Port of the High Race together-raise the Zergaon family's flag... and your Royal Highness's golden battle flag!"

Dean nodded and ordered, and then added another sentence.

As a family under the Grand Duke of Emerald, Dean, who also served as the emissary of the Grand Duke, has the right to fly the banner of the Grand Duke of Emerald.

When the high game was about to approach, the flags of the Zelgaon family and the Grand Duke of Emerald were hung, and Dean was naturally to show his identity and reduce unnecessary trouble.

Any country is very vigilant about unknown ships in its own waters, even if it is a completely landlocked country, Xiti is the same.

At least, they have several fleets sailing on the sea under the banner of trade.

As for the real intention?

As long as you are not a fool, you can understand what is going on.

"Yes, Master!"

Nord, who bends over and salutes, walks out of the cabin, but Dean who is left is continuing what he had not done before-perfecting [Concentration Breath-holding Technique]!

When he was on the secret law island before, although he had considerable knowledge, due to the problem of time, Dean did not really perfect the [Concentration and Breath-holding Technique], but only slightly filled the vacancy.

In this two-and-a-half-week voyage, he was able to transform his previous knowledge into a supplement to the [Concentration and Breath-holding Technique].

[Concentration and Breath-holding Technique lv7 (incomplete): a simplified method from wizard meditation; effect: gains +1.0 perception blessing, energy recovery speed +1.80/min]

[Special options: curing two zero-level juggling spell slots, one level 1 spell slot]

(A solidified trick requires knowledge of the structure of the spell, or a scroll of spells)

(Note 1: The upper limit of this skill has been reached)

In two and a half weeks, the level of [Concentration and Breath-holding Technique] reached the limit of the next stage. At the same time, there was a slight change in the attributes. It was originally a special blessing, and it was directly converted into a direct blessing. The energy recovery speed was also greatly improved. And, after two 0-level spell slots, Dean finally got a 1st-level spell slot that can be called a true spell.

Perhaps ~www.readwn.com~ is not so intuitive for direct strength improvement.

However, the particularity of the spell made Dean know that he had some more methods.

So Dean expressed joy.

Especially under the premise that very little xp value is consumed.

Dean glanced at his xp value--

8960!

Even if it costs nearly 200 xp to increase the [Concentration and Breath-holding Technique], Dean still has a considerable xp value under a large base.

When facing such a considerable xp value, Dean's eyes scanned the [Power of Mountain Spirit] and [Power of Giant Monster] back and forth.

ps first update~ (to be continued...)
