The next day.︾

The sky before dawn was gray, and the sea was filled with cool mist. The refreshing sea breeze blew towards us. I felt a little turbulent and fresh salty fishy in my breath. A red glow suddenly appeared on the horizon where the sky and water were connected. As time went by, the red light became brighter and thicker. Gradually, the sun poked out its forehead and rose from the sea. The strong and dazzling sunlight stinged people's eyes. The clouds were stained with light books soaked in the colorful brilliance of purple and red, like a gentle and elegant girl dancing.

Standing on the side of the boat, Xia Lan, who quietly admired the sunrise, stretched her body, as if immersed in this wonderful and leisurely rare enjoyment, forgetting the existence of time and all kinds of complicated thoughts.

The black cloak covered his body danced in the wind, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his face and mouth covered by the hood. He turned his head to the other side of the ship and saw Brending Goqi walking towards him tremblingly.

"Your Excellency, can you have a good rest last night?"

In the eyes of people on the West Coast mainland, Brending Gorch, who was cruel and violent, was like a perverse sheep when facing Xia Lan. If outsiders saw it, they would be stunned and unbelievable.

"With Captain Laughitch's care, I slept very peacefully last night." Xia Lan said calmly.

"Are you concerned about when you will arrive in Monteres?" Brending Gorge asked carefully, his foul words that were always full of sluts.

"After wandering on the sea for a long time, I always yearn for land. I believe Captain Gochi is probably familiar with this feeling." Xia Lan said.

"Your Excellency is right." Gotchi nodded in agreement. His attitude was still timid. "Your Excellency, I'll ask you, I don't think you have a person from the West Coast continent. Is this your first time to Monteres?"

Xia Lan glanced at him coldly and said, "I am indeed not from the West Coast continent, but I am not unfamiliar with Monteres."

Goqi lowered his head and was sweating all over. He now wanted to slap himself in the face, saying something bad, and insisting on saying such tentative words that could easily cause misunderstandings from the other party.

"That's a pity. I originally wanted to act as your tour guide."

"No need, you just need to remember to follow the transaction content between us." Xia Lan said calmly.

"Yes! If you have nothing else, I will take your leave first." Goqi said hurriedly.

Xia Lan nodded and looked at Brending Gochi who seemed to have escaped by a decree, and his eyes moved back to the shimmering blue sea in the distance.

He had already ordered Adrina to be strictly ordered. Without his permission, he would never be allowed to walk out of the cabin room. He must keep a close eye on Winnie and Magnison. The closer he is to Monterrez, the stronger the sense of crisis in his heart.

He didn't know what would happen ahead of him, but it wouldn't be a good thing anyway.

What a boring life.

He tapped his forehead lightly. Xia Lan laughed slightly. Perhaps he would never be able to break free from this bumpy and tragic fate.

...

...

Monteres' iconic Farero lighthouse gradually emerged. Ships sailing around the surrounding waters could be seen everywhere, nearly half of which were hung with black skull flags symbolizing pirates. They slowly drove into the Gulf of Monteres, and the prosperous and noisy port could be seen from afar.

Most of the crew of the Black Wolf were concentrated on the deck. Unlike the cheers of the round trip, the air seemed to be frozen and depressing. The pirates who were usually hideous and ferocious in their eyes were silent, just like obedient and well-behaved children. The reason was that a man in front of him was covered in a black cloak.

Xia Lan stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the Port of Monteres. After a month and a half, he finally arrived here.

Brending Gorge stood behind him, glanced at the other person's back, and his heavy mood was relieved a lot. Although he was in a mess in front of the other party, nothing was more important than saving his life. If you want to hate, you can only regret that you have met the other party in unlucky manner.

"Captain Gochi, remember what we trade and don't forget."

As he approached the port, Xialan turned around from the bow and said to Brending Goch.

"Don't worry, you will never reveal any sentence about you." Brending Gorge hurriedly promised.

"Very good, I hope your crew will keep this secret as tight as you do."

Xia Lan said calmly, and her figure disappeared in an instant.

call--

After a while, Brending Gorge wiped away the sweat from his face and breathed a sigh of relief. A cruel and cunning smile appeared on his face full of thick beards. He moved his stiff neck for a moment. Facing the many subordinates in front of him, he pulled out the short knife from his waist and said in a gloomy voice: "You should hear what you said. If I know someone leaks the secret, don't blame the captain for being cruel and ruthless!"

"Yes!" the pirates shouted together.

"Okay! Young men! In addition to the crew responsible for the staying behind, let's go to the One-Eyed Rose to vent their depression these days together!!"

When the Black Wolf was anchored at the port safely, Brending Goch took the lead and walked down the boat ladder, stepped on the long-lost solid land, glanced at the familiar surroundings, and calmed down.

"Um?"

He noticed that there were rows of soldiers wearing armored and holding sharp-wielding cars on the road ahead of the port, and he seemed to be checking every passing pedestrian. His brows frowned slightly, because in his impression, there was no such situation when he left Monteres last time.

With doubts in his arms, he pulled a man passing by and said, "Hey! Man! What big thing happened to Monteres recently? Why are soldiers stationed on every port road?"

The man threw away Brending. Gochi was pulling the dirty hands on his body, and looked up and down at Gochi suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Oh, this isn't Gochi. I heard that you were chased by the Grenada sea dogs for more than half a month. I didn't expect you to be dead yet!"

"Get out!! You are dead! Just because those bastards want to catch me? Go dreaming!" Brending Goqi cursed.

"Hahaha! Sometimes I see Grenada's tempting bounty to you. If I hadn't been on the wanted list, I might have used your head to receive the reward." The man joked.

"You?" Brending Gorge said disdainfully: "The people who want my life are now in the sea. If you are interested, I don't mind sending you to accompany them!"

"Tsk tsk! It's not a small tone..." The man seemed to carelessly, "Don't you want to inquire about the port guards? It's okay to tell you that nothing major happened to Monteres recently, but something extraordinary happened on the barbarian continent across the strait!"

"What's the big deal?" Brending Gochi asked curiously.

"I heard that a crazy woman destroyed an important city in the diocese of the Holy Church of Glory, and more than 100,000 people were killed or injured. It was terrible to think about it!" said the man.

"No way?!" Brending Gorge said with wide eyes.

"Hehe, otherwise what do you think of the guards at the port?" The man smiled and said, "The Revelation Mountain of Guanghui Temple immediately spread the wanted manifesto throughout the continent when it learned about this incident. Once there is news of the murderer, it will be reported immediately. If there are any hiding and sheltering people, they will be punished for the death of the accomplice. Recently, Monteres received the wanted manifesto from Guanghui Temple. The guards at the port were dispatched because of this incident."

"Will that murderer appear in Monteres? Besides, the cruel women who can destroy a city are useless to send these guards!" Goqi sneered.

"I think you'd better go and read the wanted manifesto. I still have something to deal with and I don't have time to talk to you anymore." The man waved his hand and left with a smile.

Is a wanted manifesto?

Brending Goch thought about it for a while and walked directly to the port guards. No, he saw the wanted order posted on the walls of the port road. In addition to the blockbuster text, the portraits of four men and women were vividly depicted.

Didn’t it mean that the murderer was a woman? Why were there four people drawn on it?

With such confusion, Goqi began to slowly browse the content of the manifesto. It turned out that two of these four people were hostages taken by the murderer, and one was the murderer's companion. As for the real murderer... Goqi was stunned.

It's a mess! This delicate and beautiful little girl in front of me is the murderer? Couldn't the Guanghui Temple be wrong?

When he looked at the dazzling number marked with the murderous bounty, he finally confirmed that the Holy Temple of Glory was indeed not wrong, but he still couldn't believe this fact.

The manifesto clearly states that the murderer and others are most likely to be traveling across the Xiafeng Strait to flee to the West Coast continent by boat. It is necessary to strictly check every outsider. Once the clues of the murderer are found, the Guanghui Temple will be given one-tenth of the bounty after confirming that the murderer is correct. If the murderer is caught, in addition to receiving all the bounties, the Guanghui Temple will also satisfy the other party’s wish!

After reading the manifesto, Brending Gochi shook his head. He didn't dare to hope that he could catch the beautiful girl murderer. Since the other party had the power to destroy a city, he might easily erase him with one finger when dealing with him. However, the criminal's clue could be considered, but he thought further. If he knew the criminal's clue and told the Guanghui Temple, would the criminal come to him, the whistleblower, kill him and relieve his hatred? It would be sad if there was a bounty but lifeless flower.

etc!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Brending Goch's mind, and his eyes could not be moved.

The merchant ship that robbed and killed...the four people with mysterious faces blinded...

His body began to tremble because he thought of a truth that he didn't dare to guess.

Could it be that they are...

"Captain Gochi, what are you thinking?"

At this time, Xia Lan's voice sounded silently in Goqi's ears.

Brending Gochi's mind instantly cleared, and his neck stiffly looked in the sound.

Then he saw the familiar man wearing a black cloak. This time, he was not wearing a hood, but his face was completely different from the wanted avatar on the manifesto.
