Vitorino frowned and asked his second son beside him in a low voice, but his eyes were always on Reese. The other person actually had a smile on his face, although it was a bit ugly.

Is this really the sun rising from the west? Jamie looked at the smile on his brother's face and felt uncomfortable all over. It would be better for him to scold him coldly.

"I'm not sure. I heard from the servants that he went to compete with Luo Ning last night, but failed."

Jamie shook his head. "But the servants don't know if Ronin and Reese have any gambling fights. I guess the loser has to keep smiling, right?"

Gambling and laughing? Vitorino found it incredible, but looking at his son's appearance, he felt it was very likely.

If this is true, then Roning is in a really difficult situation.

Escorted by a group of people, Roning arrived at the dock of Dennis Port.

Although the Earl of Howling Island has affected the business of the Dennis family, the port is still quite busy at this time.

There are quite a few large and small ships docked in the harbor, most of which are only about ten meters long and have very simple cabins. You can tell at a glance that they are used for fishing or ferrying to the nearest pier.

The largest ship Roning saw was the Dennis III docked in front of him.

The boat is thirty meters long and, according to Jamie, is equipped with bedrooms and a kitchen.

Although it cannot be compared with modern passenger ships and warships, it is already very impressive in this era.

At this moment, Dennis III was fixed to the edge of the harbor with ropes, and the sailors on it had already made preparations for leaving the shore. As soon as Roning and others got on board, they would set sail.

"Thank you Dennis family for your hospitality and escort!"

Roning expressed his gratitude to Vitorino. The hospitality of the Dennis family was impeccable. In addition to the dinner and the ship for the trip, they even had the family heir personally escort them.

"I hope Mr. Viscount will seriously consider our cooperation."

Vitorino smiled, "I will, Roning, I wish you all the best in Golden Feather City!"

Led by the captain, Roning and his party boarded the ship.

Following the captain's order, the sailors untied the ropes, hoisted the sails, and the ship slowly left the port.

"Ante, go inform Baron Hammett and ask him to come to Pointe City as soon as possible. Tell him that I have something urgent to discuss with him."

After a night of consideration, Vitorino has basically agreed to Ronin's proposal. Once the survey is completed and the site for the port is determined, they can proceed to the next step of cooperation discussions.

Therefore, the survey needs to be carried out earlier so that the results can be obtained faster.

On the Dennis III, the canvas swayed in the sea breeze, making a rustling sound, as if telling an ancient ocean legend.

The hull rises and falls with the waves, and every bump makes people feel the grandeur and power of the ocean.

Ronin had come into contact with the sea when he subdued Carlos, but the feeling at that time was different from now, and he did not have the leisure to observe the sea view.

"Count Ronin."

Knight Reis came over and said in a sarcastic tone: "Your two guards are really rookies. They can't handle such a small bump."

Roning was also helpless about this.

David and Tom were both seasick. They started vomiting after sailing for only a few miles. They were now lying in a room in the cabin to rest.

After the port of Wubei is built, when we want to form a fleet, we need to consider whether they are seasick.

"Everyone has a first time. David and Tom both grew up on land. This is their first time in the sea, so it's not surprising that they get seasick."

Roning looked Reese up and down, "Don't tell me you didn't get sick the first time you rode a boat."

Reese snorted coldly, "As a member of the Dennis family, you are a natural athlete in the sea. You don't need to doubt it!"

"Remember to keep smiling, Knight Reese. Your attitude right now is not that of a loser."

Reese was stunned for a moment, with a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but as a knight who kept his promises, he raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty.

"Luo Ning, you defeated me by relying on your strength. When my strength increases, you will lose!"

Keep smiling, this is such a "cruel" punishment.

"Well, I see that it's hard for you to laugh, so why don't you just stop laughing."

Ronin suggested: "You can consider following me and becoming my knight, so that I can allow you to have a slump."

If he could get Reese's following, not only would Wubei have one more strong athlete with great potential and familiarity with the sea, but he would also get the support of Pointed City.

Reese glanced at Ronin calmly and said, "My Lord Earl, don't forget that I am the heir of the Dennis family, and I can only follow the Lord of Wushan Territory in the future. And as far as I know, you seem to have lost the right to inherit Wushan Territory, right?"

After saying this, he felt like he had let out a breath of bad air, and his smile became more natural.

This question made it difficult for Roning to answer. He couldn't just say that he wanted to take back the inheritance rights, right?

"Your father is only fifty-two years old. With his silver-level physical strength, he should have no problem living another forty or fifty years. You can spend that much time training in my territory first."

Luo Ning bewitched, "I am not the only talented knight in Wubei Territory. My commander and guard are about the same age as you, but their strength can crush you."

There was a cold light in Reese's eyes, and the word "crush" seemed to be an insult to him.

"Don't play this kind of provocative trick in front of me. I won't be provoked by you."

He turned around, not wanting to continue communicating with Ronin: "If you want me to follow you, wait until you become a Meteor Knight."

"Okay, if I become a Meteor Knight before you, then you will come to Wubei Territory."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes!" he said, and walked into the cabin.

Luo Ning spread his hands and said, “We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”

He turned around and looked at the vast sea. After several hours of sailing, their ship was already dozens of miles away from Dennis Port. At this time, there were basically no other ships visible on the sea.

The Howling Sea may not look big on the map, but it is actually very large and shaped like an inverted triangle. The further you go into the sea, the wider the surface and the farther the distance between the two banks.

Luo Ning learned from Captain Mai Fan that the wind speed on the sea had been weak recently and the entire voyage would take half a day longer than usual.

"Niujiao Bay..."

Roning whispered the name of the port.

It is said that when the site was being chosen, the Griffin Knight noticed the terrain that resembled a bull's horn when observing from the air, so he named the harbor "Ox Horn Bay". Later, the city that developed here was naturally named Ox Horn City.

This city is located in the southeast of the royal capital and is directly controlled by Jinyu City. In a sense, setting foot in Niujiao City is equivalent to arriving in the royal capital.

Sailing is boring, especially long sailing.

After experiencing the initial novelty, Roning also became tired. He kept looking at the same scenery and felt a little visually fatigued.

In the evening of the next day, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea red.

High up in the cabin, the crew member in charge of lookout suddenly pointed to the sea in the north and shouted, "Captain, look, there is a ship heading south over there."

"Oh? Did you see what kind of ship it was?"

The lookout tried hard to identify it, but finally shook his head.

"It's too far away, I can't see clearly!"

Captain Mai Fan immediately walked up to the platform and looked out intently.

At the end of the field of vision, there were indeed three ships sailing southward with sails hoisted, and they seemed to be heading towards Dennis III.

Mai Fan immediately shouted loudly: "Guys, cheer up, pay attention to the direction of those boats, control the rudders and sails, and don't let us hit them!"

At the same time, he signaled to his deputy: "Go and inform Lord Reese of this situation. We have entered the waters of the Howling Islands." (End of this chapter)
