Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

Phoenix nodded fondly, he knew Astoria too well.

Knowing that she is always full of energy and loves to explore, the small space in the room always seems a bit restrictive to her.

His eyes were full of understanding and tolerance, as if to say:

"Whatever you want to do, I'll be with you."

So, the two of them left the room again, and this time the atmosphere was completely different from before.

The crew members have resumed work, and the deck is bustling with people coming and going.

Some crew members were checking ropes, some were adjusting canvases, and others were moving supplies. Everyone was preparing for the coming storm.

And David, as the captain of the ship, was standing on the deck, directing the crew around.

His voice was loud and powerful, and he gave orders with certainty, ensuring that every task was carried out in an orderly manner.

His eyes were sharp, and he glanced at the busy crew from time to time to make sure everything was under control.

Among those busy figures, Phoenix even saw a familiar figure - Nicholas.

At this time, Nicholas was carrying a large box, which looked quite heavy. His steps seemed a little unsteady, and he was staggering towards the kitchen.

Phoenix's gaze lingered on Nicholas for a moment, noticing the boy's struggle, but he immediately looked away.

Although he felt that there was something wrong with the boy, Phoenix didn't think much about it.

He felt that it had nothing to do with him, and as long as it didn't affect him and Astoria, he didn't bother to care.

He turned his head and looked at Astoria, who was observing her surroundings curiously, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and love for the world.

A warm feeling welled up in Phoenix's heart, he knew that no matter how busy the outside world was, as long as he was with Astoria, his world was complete.

Hand in hand, they walked towards the bow together, ready to enjoy this last time at sea.

David saw Astoria and Phoenix, and his eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

He walked up quickly, with a warm smile on his face, and said:

"Did you two have fun during this time?"

There was sincerity and friendliness in his voice, and he truly hoped that both Phoenix and Astoria would have a great time on the boat.

"If you want to come and play again next time, you are welcome to come to me again. I will give you 8% off!"

David continued, his words carrying a hint of temptation and anticipation.

He knew that Phoenix and Astoria were honored guests and that their return was an honor to the ship.

As for why David was so happy, it was because Phoenix had paid all the expenses for the trip to David in advance a few days ago.

Phoenix did not skimp, paying three times the price that was promised at the time.

This not only surprised David, but also made him full of gratitude towards Phoenix.

David thought excitedly:

"With this money, I don't have to worry about paying salaries for three years!"

His mind is full of visions and plans for the future.

This money will not only solve his short-term financial pressure, but also allow him to have more funds to improve the ship, enhance service quality and attract more guests.

Phoenix smiled and nodded, thanking David for his enthusiasm.

He said:

"Thank you, David. We did have a lot of fun and we will definitely come back next time we have the chance."

There was a hint of sincerity in his voice, he knew David was a trustworthy captain and he would be willing to choose his ship to travel again.

Astoria also smiled and said to David:

"Thank you for your hospitality, Captain. We really enjoyed our trip."

There was a hint of gratitude in her words, as she knew that the wonderful memories of this trip were inseparable from the efforts of David and the crew.

David was even happier when he heard these words.

Phoenix and David began to chat politely with each other, and their conversation was full of friendliness and respect.

Astoria stood aside, her eyes drawn to the sea level in the distance.

She narrowed her eyes, as if trying to make out something.

Suddenly, she tugged at the corner of Phoenix's clothes and said uncertainly:

"Phoenix, look over there, aren't there three black spots?"

There was a hint of curiosity and confusion in her tone.

Phoenix turned his head in confusion, but because his eyesight had deteriorated after using the Mangekyō Sharingan before, he could not see the black spot that Astoria was talking about.

But David frowned, nodded, shook his head and said:

"Those are not black spots, but three ships. I just don't know whose ships they are."

David has spent most of his life in this sea area and is familiar with every ship nearby.

His intuition and experience told him that those were not ordinary black spots, but ships.

Phoenix also looked in that direction again, intending to use his Mangekyō Sharingan.

But after thinking about the consequences of decreased eyesight, I gave up the idea.

Although the Mangekyō Sharingan is powerful, every use will cause irreversible damage to his eyesight, so he cannot take risks easily.

But David stared at it for a long time, then suddenly his eyes widened, he exclaimed, and said:

"That...that's a pirate ship!"

There was a hint of nervousness and alertness in his voice; he knew that the appearance of the pirate ship meant potential threats and dangers.

"And that direction...that direction is the only way for us to return!"

There was a hint of anxiety in his words, because this meant that their return plan might be seriously affected.

Pirate ships are usually operated by a group of organized pirates who make a living by plundering ships, cargo and even people, and are a major threat to maritime navigation.

As an experienced captain, David would naturally not take the existence of these pirate ships lightly.

He knew that immediate action had to be taken to ensure the safety of the ship and its passengers.

When the nearby crew members heard David's words, their busy movements suddenly stopped and the work in their hands was temporarily put aside.

Their eyes all turned towards the direction of the three pirate ships, and there was a hint of fear that was hard to conceal in their eyes.

These crew members have experienced all kinds of storms at sea and are familiar with the legends and stories of pirates.

The appearance of the pirate ship is not only a threat to them, but also a manifestation of their fear of the unknown.

They knew that these pirate ships might carry powerful firepower.

The pirates on the ship were all vicious and cunning guys who would do anything for treasure and profit.

The atmosphere on the deck suddenly became tense; the original bustle and noise were replaced by a depressing silence.

The crew members exchanged glances with each other, and the tacit understanding between them told them that they must prepare for the worst.

The sea breeze seemed to sense the tense atmosphere and blew even harder, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
