The process of purchasing the island went smoothly.

There was no situation where Fang Zheng was blocked by a rich second generation when he was about to pay, saying that he saw it first and then took the initiative to provoke and seek death - this is normal, Fang Zheng wanted almost all abandoned islands, which rich second generation would buy such an island, he must be mentally handicapped.

But what surprised Fang Zheng was that although these islands were dead islands, their prices were not low. It seemed that people in the main world also knew the economic value of exclusive areas. So these islands almost took up most of Fang Zheng's current income from fertilizers and greenhouses. Now Fang Zheng finally understood why this counter was basically unpopulated. These dead islands were not only expensive, but also had bad locations and were uninhabitable. Even if the cultists wanted to set up a stall on them to summon their masters, they would not be able to set up a summoning array. Who would buy such a thing? They must be mentally ill.

Well... Fang Zheng doesn't count.

When signing the purchase agreement, Fang Zheng's expected identity exposure did not happen. Perhaps it was because the old man's eyes were blurry, or perhaps the Temple did not publicize the matter. As a result, Fang Zheng smoothly obtained the ownership of the five islands through the star pattern.

But for Fang Zheng, troubles are yet to come.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

Fang Zheng stood on the deck, looking at the endless sea in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh. This journey was really too troublesome for him.

The area where the five islands were located was called the "Misty Sea". It was rumored that thick fog would form there every night, causing ships to lose their way. Many experienced explorers and fleets disappeared in the fog, and according to those who had managed to escape, hiding in the fog was a terrifying monster that was bigger than a mountain. It could even swallow a warship in one bite!

Because of this rumor, Fang Zheng searched all the docks but couldn't find a captain willing to take them to the foggy sea. It wasn't until Fang Zheng, who didn't believe in evil, raised the reward to three times that someone finally agreed to take Fang Zheng's commission and take them to the foggy sea.

It feels good to show off, but it will end up costing you money.

But... this ship is really too old.

Fang Zheng turned his head and looked at the dilapidated but still intact deck of the Black Crow. The sailors were shouting and hoisting the sails. Thanks to the development of magical civilization, the ships in the main world no longer rely solely on wind power. At the same time, they can also use magic engines to drive the ships to sail like Fang Zheng's modern world.

It's just that because this ship is too old, the magic engine that drives it is not a very good one. But for a ship like this, it is enough.

"Damn it, you damn lazy bastards, hurry up and hoist the sail for me!"

Captain Fox walked onto the deck, smoking a pipe and wearing a coat. He was a man who had been working at sea for many years. His sturdy figure and sunburned skin were the best proof. Fox reached out and touched his beard, which was big enough to make a bird's nest, and then looked at Fang Zheng with a flattering smile.

"Oh, hello, dear sir."

"Hello, Captain Fox."

Looking at the captain in front of him, Fang Zheng seemed very calm. Fox's reputation at the dock was not very good, but it was not very bad either. But Fang Zheng did not care. Few people were clean when sailing on the sea. As long as they did not have any bad intentions towards him and others, it would be fine. At least so far, this captain was still very honest.

"How long will it take us to reach the Misty Sea?"

"The weather has been good in the last few days, and with the blessing of the sea, I think we may be able to reach the Misty Sea earlier than scheduled."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Captain Fox first tapped the pipe in his hand, then answered with a smile on his face.

"To be honest, sir, the day you picked couldn't be better. The trade is slow these days, and those damn pirates have disappeared. It's going well for us."

"So, there won't be any trouble on the road?"

"That's hard to say."

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Fox gave a wry smile.

"It is precisely because of the idle period that who knows what the pirates will come up with. Sir, you are offering a large reward at the dock, and I believe that the pirates' spies have already noticed it. Although most pirates will not go out to sea during this period, the slave traders will not miss this good opportunity. Now is a good time for them to transport and buy slaves. If they think we are a big fish, they may also attack us."

"I understand. Don't worry too much."

Fang Zheng nodded calmly at Fox's reminder. He naturally wouldn't worry about the pirates. There were no weaklings on his side except Nanali and Kulia. Fang Zheng, Tilia and Nymph were all masters according to the standards of this world, and Hecate was even a legend. Not to mention that Fang Zheng was a prophecy mage. If there were pirates who really wanted to attack them without knowing the consequences, then Fang Zheng would not be unaware of it.

"Since you are confident enough, sir, then I naturally have nothing to say."

Hearing Fang Zheng's indifferent answer, Fox smiled and said nothing more. Fang Zheng had cast spells several times when he boarded the ship, which made Fox know that his customer was not only a nobleman, but also a powerful wizard. Spellcasters were people that no force wanted to provoke, and Fox was no exception. If the captain had any thoughts before, he had put them away now and concentrated on doing his job.

"Owner."

At this moment, Nymph suddenly walked out of the cabin. She came in front of Fang Zheng, nodded to him respectfully, and then glanced at Fox who was not far away.

"There are three ships ahead, approaching us."

"oh?"

Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment after hearing Nymph's report, but he certainly had no doubts about the little angel's detection.

"How long will it take for us to make contact?"

"Based on the current speed, it will take at least ten minutes."

"Is it a pirate ship?"

Hearing this, Fox beside him also hurriedly asked. He knew that this blue-haired girl had some special abilities. In the first few days of sailing, Nymph had reminded Fox and Fang Zheng several times about reefs and pirate ships, and she was proven right afterwards. This also made Fox respect this delicate little girl a little more. You know, people who sail on the sea are most afraid of all kinds of sudden accidents. With the little angel here, at least they can avoid a lot of unnecessary casualties and consumption.

"There are two pirate ships and a tour boat."

"You mean, there are two pirate ships chasing a cruise ship?"

Hearing this, Fox immediately showed a bitter face. This was the most undesirable situation when sailing on the sea. Those ships being chased by pirate ships would certainly not surrender. If they could really beat the other party, then there would be no need to run away. But now it seems that the cruise ship obviously has no fighting power, or the strength of the two pirate ships is too strong, so they can only flee.

Of course, at other times, Fox would just sigh a few words at most, but it’s different now. This damn thing is about to ADD and then pull monsters over to wipe out the whole team!

"Can you dodge it?"

"It's too late."

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Fox sighed helplessly, then he put his pipe back into his pocket and picked up his weapon. Sailing on the sea is a very dangerous thing. Generally speaking, even the most experienced captains will not let their ships deviate from the course at will, because this may cause them to lose their way. So even if he knew there was trouble ahead, he had no way to sail.

"Get ready for battle, boys!"
