After Xia Lan hinted on board that his secret was discovered by Joseph, he lived in torment every moment.

If Joseph knew that the son he had raised for several years was his, he would definitely be fed to sharks.

Fortunately, the impoverished lord somehow found out that their captain had embezzled everyone's money, so he helped him plan the palace coup and said that he would organize the prisoners to rebel against Joseph.

He believed his lies and attacked Joseph before he could react. After being thrown and seriously injured, he quickly fled the battlefield and opened the locked boat cover.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the prisoners, only the sound of chanting!

He was cheated!

Why did he believe the nonsense of that person named Xia Lan?

All the talk about internal and external cooperation and success in one fell swoop is fake. He just wants to see himself and others suffer losses, and then he will benefit.

He shouted, "Stop, stop hitting me."

But no one paid any attention. Everyone was so bloodthirsty that they wanted to kill everything alive around them.

Finally, when Joseph's henchman plunged the sword into his chest, he could only look towards the hatch unwillingly...

"See if that person can be rescued." Xia Lan looked at the pirate who was still groaning and gave orders to the people around him who were frightened and stunned.

"Why save them? These are pirates who kill without blinking an eye." Some people were puzzled. Although they were also scum, they still had a bottom line.

"Who among you can drive the boat?"

Hearing Xia Lan's question, everyone immediately surrounded them and carried the few pirates who were still alive back to the cabin for bandaging and treatment.

With the little prestige he had established as a charlatan, Xia Lan began to command everyone to clean up the deck. The naked bodies of the pirates were thrown into the sea, attracting a group of sharks to follow the Silver Deer.

It was not until noon that everyone had packed up. The Silver Deer was a giant three-masted sailing ship that had been equipped with supernatural power. It could accommodate about two hundred people if they squeezed together.

There are now a total of 126 people on the ship, including the rescued pirates.

After Xia Lan was elected as the captain, under the collective efforts of everyone and the incoherent and chaotic command of five half-dead pirates, the Silver Deer began to rampage on the sea.

After sailing for a day, only one of the five pirates survived. After his condition improved and he could barely speak, he was pulled up to teach everyone how to sail and steer.

Looking at the seabirds flying in the sky, Xia Lan knew that there was land or island nearby.

But after fiddling with the nautical chart for a while, he still couldn't find where he was. Finally, he gave up and turned his attention to the navigation diary written by Joseph.

This diary made of parchment only had a few pages filled with sea charts, which made Xia Lan wonder how to evaluate whether the old man Joseph was illiterate.

Over the past three years, Xia Lan has packaged herself well in order to maintain her aristocratic status, and she can recognize all the characters in the common language of the mainland.

When he was absorbed in studying the nautical chart, he was interrupted by a sudden noise. Xia Lan had no choice but to go over to see what was happening. Is it really that difficult to operate a sail?

"My Lord, you should be fair and just. He released the man-eating fishman." The speaker was Kahneman. He had thrown away the torn sack on his body and changed into a sailor suit, which should have been stripped from a dead pirate. There was a pool of blood on it.

Following his gaze, Xia Lan saw the young man standing in front of the fishman, Wodek. It was said that he was an illegitimate son of a nobleman, and an illegitimate son who was not given a surname.

Xia Lan didn't understand why he wanted to protect this fishman. There was a reason why people hated him so much. A month and a half ago, when the Silver Deer was about to set sail, he was sent in tied up because he killed the slaves in a cabin of the previous ship, which made everyone afraid of him.

"There's a reason for this," Wodek explained quickly. "There was a girl on Voll's previous ship who had been taking care of the injured Voll. But when he woke up after being in a coma for a while, there was only a messy corpse. Lord, you should know what happened."

Hearing this, Xia Lan frowned. He had been hiding in the captain's room these days to study how to control this broken ship and had no time to take care of the things on the ship. He didn't expect that the fishman who had been tied up for more than a month would have such an experience.

"Merceman Volor, can you swear in the name of the Lord of Truth that everything you said is true?" Xia Lan asked seriously.

"My lord, in the name of the Lord of Truth, I have not told a single lie." Volor said sincerely.

"Okay, the Lord of Truth believes in your oath and grants you freedom. When you help us find land, you can go home and you will also receive a generous reward." When a believer swears in the name of God, God can hear it, but some gods think it is too noisy and turn it off directly.

Xia Lan, who can communicate directly with God, knows that what Volor said is true.

Now is the time to hire people, and he doesn't want to drive away the navigation talents he has discovered with great difficulty.

Merfolk are the darlings of the sea. Going into the sea is like going home. However, they usually settle in shallow sea areas far away from humans and live on islands. They live like amphibians and rarely appear in deep sea areas.

With Volor's help, the Silver Deer soon made a discovery.

"Look, there's an island!"
