Freeport Saint-Huan itself is a city built on circular cliffs. The cliffs opposite each other on three sides form a natural and secret harbor, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but not on the main waterway. Over time, it naturally becomes the main secret anchorage of pirates.

A pirate king discovered and established this place. As for how this lawless port was "promoted" it happened in the hundreds of years after that. It was neither critical nor important, nor a one-day effort.

The harsh natural conditions in the early days allowed pirates to build buildings along the cliffs, most of which were wooden, and most of these "builders" did not have any architectural talents, but they only used wooden platforms to connect them to the suspension bridge to form the prototype of the "port".

Later, Yonggu Building appeared, first of which was a dock and the floating island in the center - it was brought by a certain pirate king, and later became the asset of the Holy Mystery Society. There were more and more platforms in this way, and several floating islands of all sizes were added, belonging to the most powerful pirates in the port - for example, one of them belonged to the "blood shark".

Gradually, this free port has reached its current scale.

The largest "cork" bar in the port is located on the edge of a cliff, with a lot of people. The bar is named after the customs of pirates - people on the Aitaliakon Sea value earrings very seriously, usually made of gold or silver, and they are often the last legacy of a pirate.

Unlike most people who imagine, the pirates on the Kōhai are not as rich as those of the country, and most of them can even be said to be poor. If not, they would not have ambition to go to the Kōhai to explore, but most of them end up in the foreign land.

The property these people accumulated in their lives may only be a pair of earrings that accompanied them closely, but these earrings were actually cork, and they originated from naval earplugs, because the artillery decks of large air ships often display dozens of magic cannons. In order to prevent hearing from being damaged by the deafening roar, soldiers are accustomed to hanging corks on earplugs to make it stuffed into their ears during combat.

However, this kind of earrings has become a fashion among pirates, and sometimes it even becomes a symbol of a person's status. For example, Catherine's earrings are a pair of pure gold anchors, and the anchor tips are also inlaid with twinkling gems - one green and one purple, which is very beautiful.

Fang Zhu played with the dark metal block in his hand. It was the "key" left to him by Rodrigo Deanris. Although the treasure house of the Pirate King has been opened and this "key" is useless, he did not simply throw it away.

The key contains the secret of the star device. Whenever he thinks and looks at the notes and drawings left by Jed Ham, he can't help but subconsciously turn the "key" in his hand, as if it can provide him with inspiration.

The tall bartender observed the young alchemist. The alchemist deserves respect everywhere, even in this free port, not to mention that a ray of light appeared on the other party's collar, and the sea-lining star on it made people feel awe.

"Sir, what more is there?"

His big furry hand wiped the wine glass with a dirty rag, glanced at the target in front of him from the corner of his eyes, and spoke in a cautious tone. If it were someone else, he would not be so polite.

Fang Yu looked down at the wooden wine glass in his hand. There were several iron rings on the outside of the cup, covered with dark rust patterns. The hand was carved into a hideous dragon, but it had been polished. There was a thick layer of unknown substance distributed along the cup. Fortunately, he had not moved the unknown liquid inside.

He shook his head gently - he saw with his own eyes that the other party had just wiped the table with this rag, stuffed it into the cup, and turned it inside and out for several rounds.

The voices of conversation around him softened.

The pirates saw that he was a high-level alchemist, but it was inevitable that he was so young that he was not drinking. Besides, he looked like a noble young master with a mug that was still stinky. The pirates inside and outside were still cautious - after all, Fang Ling's magic gloves showed that he was not easy to mess with, and a fighting craftsman - but people's eyes were inevitably a little contemptuous.

Someone wanted to stand up and cause trouble, but the tall bartender stopped these people with his eyes. His eyes fell on the black 'cube' in Fang Yu's hand again. He paused there for a moment before asking:

"Sir, will you be interested in the Mystery?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Fang Yu came to his senses. It became a professional habit for him. He could not help but think about it when he had free time - either the star device or the future of the Qihai Brigade. He had to think too much, so he always felt that he didn't have enough time.

He then raised his head and looked at the tall bartender. The other party was missing an eye. He did not wear eye masks for various reasons like many visually sound pirates. Instead, one of them was a dull prosthetic eye and a turbid glass ball. Fang Zhu asked: "I heard that the Holy Secret promised to exchange for everything. As long as you can afford the money, they can provide everything you want?"

The tall bartender shook his head first, "Not that exaggerated, sir, for the pirates, this is the case," and he nodded again, "because the pirates don't need much, they are nothing more than money, ships, supplies, or manpower, goods, weapons, and the Secretariat can provide these things. No one knows what their channels are, and where these things come from, you don't have to ask, because no one will tell you, and I don't know."

"But they don't respond to all their requests. There is no organization in this world that can provide you with everything you want. Gods can't do it. For example, you want eternal life, endless wealth, and eternal health. Those are things that are only found in fairy tales. I know that some people come here with such a purpose, but you may be disappointed."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The bartender never thought he would talk to a guest in such a polite tone. "In essence, if you can't get these things in Elpahin, Goland, Sanshak or the Imperial metropolis, it would be useless to come to the remote village of Saint Hugh'an. However, the Holy Secret Club does have some special resources. If you can afford the price, they may show you the things that are in the bottom of the box."

"What can the Holy Mystery exchange with us?" Fang Yu asked.

"Curse Coins," replied the bartender, "but the general curse silver coins can only be exchanged for the things I mentioned earlier. For better things, you must take out more advanced curse coins, the most precious of which can really be exchanged for artifacts in the Holy Secret Club."

"Have you seen a magical artifact?"

"I haven't seen it, sir," the tall bartender shook his head, "I've heard that someone took away a sword in the Secretariat, the Storm Butcher-Carlosotus, those things are not endless, but the Secretariat should have one or two left."

Fang Yu had heard of that sword, which was not a real artifact, but it was at least a secondary holy object. At the legendary level, it was the Fairy Holy Sword. It is not to be said about the status of the Fairy Holy Sword in the history of mortals. The five dragon-slaying swords cast by the root of Heath are just one of them.

The sword was cast by the god who commanded the north wind. This is just a legend, but Carolosotus left a mark in the history of mortals. It destroyed a dynasty from the ancient times of Kaorin-Ishurien, but it did not expect it to finally land here.

Fang Yu was not interested in the artifact, but the bartender's words aroused his interest. The influence behind it must be not simple, and they are willing to treat Carolosotus as a trading item, which is more telling.

What he cared about was the two precious materials needed by Qihai Traveler.

Regarding the construction of the new Qihai Traveler, he already has a detailed plan - the disaster is coming, and the future of Aitalia seems to be entering a dark and vortex. No one knows what is after the red moonlight, natural disasters or man-made disasters, but they all have to prepare early.

On the other hand, the matter of the Sea Witch will definitely attract unpredictable opponents. Behind Mount Covenant is far more than just the Florids and the Rainbow Alliance. The confrontation between two top domestic forces is Miya also told him that the first and second divisions are also deeply involved in the upheaval of the Turbid Region.

Especially the second Covenant Mountain incident has never been a contradiction between the domestic guild alliance and the free convener, but a confrontation of two rules. The alliance wants to gain more power, and even speak above Xingmen Port.

"This is simply impossible."

"It's really impossible. No major Congress allows a non-governmental organization to be over it. As a result, you all see that we just don't want to overturn the table. After all, the current order is still beneficial to us."

Miya seemed to have become a different person when she said this, "But this is not the essence-"

"So the essence is actually confrontation?" Fang Yu had already guessed the layer behind it.

The wolf girl nodded gently, "The confrontation between countries, the confrontation between sovereignty and sovereignty, human beings have never worked together. The Star Gate Declaration is just a layer of paper on the surface. Behind the super competition, there is a constant battle between national interests."

Fang Yu couldn't help but remain silent. Of course, he would not have thought of these things. He just subconsciously avoided the veil of warmth so nakedly. He still had fantasies about the future of mankind after the Star Gate, and human history rose spiraled under that dreamy halo.

It seemed to reach its peak at a certain moment, and after experiencing the golden moment, it began to fall back, gradually falling into a quagmire among their generation, everything fell into stagnation, and friction gradually emerged.

"There is much more than you expected behind this," Miya said, "but I have no one else to rely on. If you want to hand me over, I have no complaints, Ed, but I hope to meet my own people before that."

"You know, Miss Miya, it's impossible for us to hand you over."

Miya shook her head, "You don't know the seriousness of the problem. Ed, the Super Athletics League has been separated from your original cognition. Behind it is another force, maybe the country, or the organization that is more overriding. The former Covenant Hill incident not only destroyed the consistency within the third division, but behind everything is what the other party wants to see-"

Fang Ling couldn't help asking: "So what happened on Mount Covenant, and it will become so important?"

"Because there is a place where the twelve stars shine together."

Miya is concise and concise.

"What!?" The others widened their eyes in shock.

"Of course, that's the past," the girl stopped, shook her sharp ears cunningly, and a smug smile appeared in her eyes. "I used the Hailin crown to completely destroy the ether node there, and that important 'copy' will no longer exist. I let all their plans fail. Even if they get the Holy Grail, they will still look for that opportunity again."

She seemed to have returned to that time, holding the twinkling star dagger in her hand.

The Hailin crown is in her hands.

And she is the famous witch of the sea-

Miya's tone gradually became serious, "Because they trampled on their promises and betrayed their trust, thinking that they could overwhelm everything with their strength and power, and I would like to tell them with my own answer - don't think that no matter how small the power of an individual is, it can still make a voice of resistance."

Fang Zhu looked at the wolf girl's eyes shining. The silver eyes were as full of poetry and lively as if under the night of the July War, as if they were a person, not the sophisticated, dead-skinned gaze he had seen in the Grand Guild.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So you went to the Elf Mystery Land to find the Hailin Crown, and promoted the July War behind the scenes?"

"It's not just me who's working hard. The Rainbow Alliance and the Flores are already looking for the Hailin Crown. I'm just pushing them behind my back," Miya replied. "I have fragments of star crystal in my hand that can help me point to the real place where the Hailin Crown is."

She looked at Fang Zhu, her eyes dimly.

"I'm sorry, I've led to the misfortune of Miss Scappe, Captain Quelorde, but then I was filled with the thought of revenge, not to mention that I vaguely realized that the first and second divisions were colluding with some of us, and they were planning a plot together."

"Why not try to contact Xingmen Port?"

Miya looked at him, and Fang Yu suddenly realized that even his own information was almost leaked. Su Changfeng told them that there were traitors lurking during Xingmen Port during that period, and it was not until the "snake head" was exposed that the screening work came to an end.

Su Changfeng left Xingmen Port, which was said to be to return to Earth to investigate this matter. So far, no definite news has been sent back.

Miya must have tried it, but obviously she did not get any good results.

The Covenant Mountain incident is the most important turning point in the domestic competition area in the past decade. It is directly related to the subsequent defeat of the third competition area in the Turbid Region, and it has been slumped to this day. The relevant stakeholders must have shocking plans on it, and they will also bet on it for more attention.

Therefore, it is impossible for the other party to not pay attention to the communications between the two sides. Although the communications between the two worlds are highly confidential, they cannot prevent an undercover agent on the other side of Xingmen Port.

"Then..." Fang Yu asked, "Miss Miya, have you investigated what is behind it?"

Miya shook her head in vain, "No, I just found this, but I can be sure that some of the Flores' descendants are connected to some people in the first division, and the same is true in the Rainbow League. Covenant Hill is an important node in their plan, and my actions are just delaying their actions..."

"so."

Fang Rong asked again: "Miss Miya, do you want to contact Xingmen Port with the help of us?"

"Do you think they are trustworthy?"

Fang Yu thought of Su Changfeng and Bai Jia's senior sister. They should be credible. At least he never doubted, "Speaking of this, Sister Bai Jia is not yours and Bai Hua..."

"No, don't look for her," Miya showed a rare look of anxiety. She immediately realized her loss of composure and coughed gently, "She can't do it, she can't care about this... In short, I want to meet those higher-level people who can make decisions."

Fang Rong looked at the girl's face with surprise and turned a little red. Even if Sister Bai Jia couldn't control it, wouldn't it be more reliable to let her contact her? But since the other party was unwilling, he no longer forced her. In any case, he still had some strange feelings when facing this wolf-like girl.

"I understand, Miss Miya."

"Thank you," Miya looked at him, her voice calm. These should have been owed by her, but she didn't want to reiterate this. If he wanted to give up on her, she wouldn't have any complaints in her heart.

There was an awkward silence between the two, and Fang Zhubing finally spoke: "Miss Miya, I cannot forgive you on behalf of Miss Scape and Mr. Quelorde. Maybe one day, you can ask for their forgiveness in person."

Miya looked at him, and the witch of the sea nodded slightly.

...

Fang Yu's thoughts gradually returned to reality, and the buzzing voices surrounded him again. The air was filled with the sweet caramel-like rum scent, and a hint of spicy and pungent smell.

Miya's incident shows at least one thing. As they saw in the southern border, the Super Sports Alliance has deteriorated. There may be a transnational organization and conspiracy behind it. Regardless of whether Xingmen Port has noticed it, they will face the most direct revenge from the other party when they take in the Witch of the Sea.

That was not even revenge. Miya took some things from Mount Holy Covenant. The remaining information in the star dagger pointed to the land of the twelve stars. The top guilds in the first and second regions could not give up on this, and what the Seven Seas Traveler will face will be a storm.

What he had to think about was not how to avoid this storm. The sailors on the Kūūū will always face one rain after another. The real safe way is to hide in a stable port and never embark on this road in your life.

But since they have chosen this path, there is no reason to be afraid.

And how can we survive the storm?

The only way is to make yourself stronger.

In order to welcome the possible conflicts and battles, the Qihai Traveler is indeed not enough now. First of all, they need equipment that can deal with shocks, magic cannons, marine shields, and especially protective facilities.

There may be many enemies of them, but the Qihai Traveler can only tolerate failure once, so protection is far superior to attack, followed by mobility.
