Chapter 269 The Port
The sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.

A vast, deep blue ocean, with a salty smell in the strong wind.

The sea is moody and choppy, and seagulls pass by from time to time in the sky, chasing their prey.

This is the golden route to the East, leading to the legendary Eastern continent that is filled with gold.

Every day, countless ships set off from the western continent, heading for the mysterious east along this route.From there, special products such as porcelain, spices, silk, etc. were brought back, and then dumped at the ports of the Western Continent and turned into gold and silver to earn profits.

The sea is the cradle of dreams, and there are countless treasures in the sea.

The terrifying ocean devours young lives, and the ocean is full of colonization and crime.

In every port, the most widely circulated treasure is the Pirate King's treasure.Every generation of kings of the Seven Seas Contest, when they step down as pirate kings, will bury all the treasures they have accumulated throughout their lives at the end of that legendary route.

This story inspires more teenagers to embark on the path of navigators.

But they don't know that apart from countless treasures, the sea also contains extremely terrifying dangers.

Storms, water monsters, and even some indescribable existences.

Once angry, it will easily overturn the ship and bring unimaginable disaster.

Of course, the most frequent dangers on the route are pirates, those pirates who are not under the jurisdiction of the Pirate King City.

The sea is vast and boundless, and it is difficult for the mighty Pirate King City to govern this vast and endless ocean, so there are many pirates active outside the sphere of influence of the Pirate King City.

Of course, the legend of the Pirate King's treasure has been around for nearly 200 years. No one has actually found the legendary treasure yet, and it has gradually become a legend among legends.

So ordinary pirates, they struggle on the golden route, they chase wealth, they are keen on rum and pleasure.

Usually after robbing a large sum of money, they would go to a special pirate port to spend time and drink until the last copper coin in their pockets was spent, and then howling and embarking on a new hunting journey.

However, pirates are not a good job.

Although, the establishment of the pirate kingdom gave these pirates who were beaten by everyone a shelter, and they were able to run rampant within the scope of the Seven Seas.

However, those powerful countries on the Western Continent are naturally unwilling to fail. They will not be willing to give up the vast and endless wealth on the ocean. They are always preparing for a comeback.

The strongest country on the Western Continent, Yingjinli.

This country, which was born hundreds of years ago, was the overlord when the new sea route was opened more than 200 years ago, but was finally defeated by the legendary ships of the pirates, and had to shrink its power to the western continent.

In the great battle more than ten years ago, they finally defeated other competitors with their powerful strength and became the only overlord on the Western Continent.

After more than ten years of recuperation, this new huge empire finally set its sights on the sea again.

They vowed to destroy the pirate kingdom in one fell swoop and avenge their past.

At this moment, a fleet of five armored ships was speeding over the rough seas. From the flags hanging above, it could be judged that these ships were Yingjinli's Seventh Royal Navy Fleet.

At this moment, they were sailing on the golden route, heading towards their intended destination.

"What a terrible day!"

Yado, as a rookie captain, is basking in the sun on the stern of the boat at the moment.

The sails of the solar boat were raised, and it shuttled continuously at extremely high speed in this vast sea.

The speed of the solar ship is very fast, which can be described as fast and lightning above the sea, but on the ship, it can't feel much change, and can only feel a slight bump.

A month ago, after he repaired the Sun and loaded a ship full of gold, he left from the underground river.

Before entering the sea, he returned to Egypt and brought the priest Hu En on board. After all, Yado didn't want to be the only living person on the whole ship.

"You bone sticks, give me a good job, wipe the deck clean, or you will be dismantled and fed to the dogs."

Hearn directed the mummies, cursing.

Sure enough, his choice at that time was not wrong. This seemingly young high-level priest finally defeated the former high priest and became the master of the sun boat.

So when the other party offered to invite him to board the ship, this guy joined the gang very simply.

Bah, bah, bah, you have joined a great and sacred cause, how can you call it a group?

"Horn, how far is the New Trent Port you mentioned?" At this moment, Yado's lazy voice came over.

"It's not far, Captain. Well, it should, continue eastward, and in another half an hour, maybe an hour, we will definitely be able to arrive."

Hu En said respectfully, somewhat haltingly and stammering.

Horn's memory of the location of the New Trent Port was already very vague.Ten years ago, in order to break through to the intermediate priest level, he took a passenger ship and went to that port.

After all, many spell-casting materials are extinct on the mainland, and relevant things can only be found on the ocean and on the golden sea route.

Of course, so much time has passed.Moreover, there was no reference object on the sea, and he could only identify the general direction, so it was difficult for Hu En to judge how far away it was now.

Just based on feeling, it should be coming soon.

"Oh, I think this is the third time you've said that."

"My lord, I promise this is the last time, this time it will be very accurate, and there will be no more mistakes."

"Forget it, let's recruit some experienced navigators after arriving at the port."

That's right, there are only two living people on this boat, Yaduo and Heon.Yado was the captain for the first time, and Heon was the second crew member, so the two of them couldn't tell the exact direction at all.

"Of course, there are the most experienced navigators in the port of New Trent, and with this solar ship, I believe that my lord will be able to cross the great route." Hearn said quickly.

"I hope you're right this time."

This time, Hu En was indeed right.

After the solar ship continued to sail toward the east for about half an hour, a little shadow of land finally appeared at the end of the sea level, like a small black dot.

As the distance got closer, a small island of hundreds of square kilometers appeared in front of Yado.

"Captain, we're here!"

Heon shouted excitedly, finally arrived.He couldn't even imagine that if he didn't say the right thing this time, he wondered if the young captain would really let him clean the deck.

"Well, Hearn, let all those bones and sticks go under the cabin, and don't scare people."

As the distance approached, Yado manipulated the ship and slowed down the speed.

Soon the speed of the solar ship dropped to [-] kilometers per hour, and it drove into the port relatively slowly.

This is an ordinary port belonging to Yingjinli, and it is also the last stop on the golden route after leaving the western continent.

Therefore, the cargo throughput here is astonishing, ranging from thousands of tons to tens of thousands of tons of cargo throughput per day.

The weather on the sea is so unpredictable. The sky was originally clear, but at this time, it was already covered with dark clouds, and lightning and thunder kept coming and going.

On the pier, a tax officer who was in charge of registration cursed fiercely.

This kind of weather is simply terrible.

As an important wharf in the kingdom, it is not a small amount of money to collect the berthing and maintenance fees of ships every day, enough to make a group of officials in the city hall jealous.

It was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into being able to achieve this position.

Therefore, he likes sunny days, because it means that he can collect more taxes, and of course, his pockets will become more swollen because of this.

But at this moment, a storm was about to blow on the sea, and it was obviously difficult for ships to dock in such weather.So it affected his income and made him feel very bad.

Suddenly, he looked in one direction and his eyes widened.

At the end of the blue sea, a black dot suddenly appeared, obviously it was a ship, heading here.

Soon, the boat sailed into the pier, and it was a wooden boat with a strange shape!
"Damn it! Haven't seen a wooden boat in years!"

The tax officer rubbed his face in a daze, and blinked vigorously, only to realize that he was right.

This is indeed a wooden boat. Although it has a strange shape and is not too big or small, it can catch up with a small frigate.

But on the current sea, the one entering the golden route is not a steam ironclad ship.

This boat is not as good as ordinary fishing boats for fishermen, and dares to head towards the rough sea.

I really don't know where these people came from.

boom!
The wooden boat slowly approached the shore, and a young and excessive guy stepped onto the pier with a confident and proud expression.

There are countless tax officials, but like this young man in front of him, he has never seen the indescribably unique, mysterious and noble temperament.

In an instant, he realized that this young man's background must be extraordinary.

However, in the port of Yingjinli, according to the laws of the kingdom, as long as it is a ship, an entry fee must be charged!
Therefore, regardless of whether it is public or private, the tax officer will not charge less tax due to the identity of the other party.

"Hello, little gentleman!"

The tax officer stepped forward and said to Yaduo, "According to the kingdom's law, any vessel that docks at the port must be registered. May I ask your name?"

"Ado, from Egypt!"

Ya Duo nodded lightly, naturally having a natural aloofness.

Egypt?No wonder it looks so mysterious, muttered the tax collector.He collected taxes, so he naturally didn't care about Ya Duo's specific identity.

"Entry tax, ten silver coins."

"Here, you don't need to look for it." Ya Duo casually threw a gold coin to the tax official, and then he continued: "You are on the highway, my first mate, there is no way to recruit the best navigator here. "

"Of course, of course, thank you sir!"

The tax official looked at the gold coins in his hand and couldn't look away.He did not suspect that it was a fake gold coin. After all, the luster and feel could not deceive anyone.

Even today, at the peak of the prosperity of ocean trade, the value of gold still far exceeds that of silver. If this gold coin is converted into silver coins, it is worth at least 130 gold coins.

He looked at this mysterious young man in astonishment, feeling in his heart that maybe this guy was a descendant of a certain nobleman from that country.

Just like many rich people, when they have money, they will make some unexpected things. This wooden boat may be the other party's playful creation.

Yado walked alone in this trading port. Because of the weather, there were not many people on the streets in the port, which seemed a bit deserted.

Yado came here mainly with two plans.On the one hand, it is to recruit a navigator, and the other purpose is to inquire about news.

He wanted to inquire and see if he could get news of the other contestants.

According to the analysis of the task, if you want to get the ticket to enter the great route, you must defeat any pirate king in the Seven Seas and replace him.

Then this is considered to have obtained the quota of the Essence Spring, which can guarantee the bottom line.

Of course, after that, it should be a competition among the seven pirate kings to rank.

Therefore, the news of those pirate kings is also very important.

Since ancient times, no matter whether it is Chinese or foreign movies and TV shows, the best place to inquire about news has always been the tavern.

Especially in this context, pirates are rampant, spirits and wealth, among the constant themes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with going to the tavern to inquire about the news.

Yado easily found the most popular tavern in the port.

The Sword and Rose Tavern is located in the southwest corner of the port, in an inconspicuous building complex.

As soon as I walked into this tavern, a commotion hit me.

The smell of spirits, noisy binge drinking.

If he didn't know that this was Ying Jinli's official port, Yado would have thought that he had come to some pirate's lair.

After all, anyone who sees this place is full of muscular, muscular men.Swallowing cheap rum, there were bursts of rude quarrels in the innermost place from time to time.

Then everyone will think that these people are like pirates.

"Brother, this is your first time here, what do you want?"

Ya Duo had just walked in, and within a minute, a woman in hot clothes and heavy makeup walked over.

She didn't hide the thoughts in her eyes at all, she approached Yado, and deliberately moved her proud chest to Yado.
