That was really close...
Kyle stepped off the giant ship and glanced at the various merchant ships already docked in the harbor.
Interestingly, Griffin Island doesn't offer all free goods; visitors also sometimes donate valuable items as a gesture of goodwill.
Of course, these valuable items will not account for 1% of the port's goods, so they won't have much impact. Most of them are items with special significance.
For example, a princess personally stepped on a bottle of wine, or a king spontaneously created a traditional Chinese ink painting.
Kyle glanced casually at the list, stood in front of the port, and looked out at the bustling commercial street...
Even at the break of dawn, the wealthy around the world rise early to enjoy paradise, their reckless squandering of resources proclaiming the freedom of this other side of the world.
very nice……
But why is it that I am the only one who cannot be free? Riverst!
Behind Kyle, Riverst held a white jade teacup in one hand, sipping tea while glancing at Kyle in front of him.
Kyle didn't turn around, but walked straight into the crowded commercial street.
Riverst casually tossed aside his teacup, leaned on his black and gold cane, and slowly followed.
The white jade teacup fell to the ground, and the sound of it shattering was exceptionally pleasant.
...
Hey! Friend, watch out!
"Don't push, friend!"
"My God! You stepped on the boots that my Aunt Mary gave me!"
Kyle quickened his pace, ignoring the complaints of those around him, his eyes fixed on one direction.
Riverst, following behind, was also keeping track of him, occasionally losing sight of him, but generally heading in the right direction.
He sensed something was wrong with Kyle; the Crystal Crown occasionally issued dangerous warnings, but Riverst didn't know where the danger came from.
But he knew there was a spy among them, and if it wasn't Jesse, it was... Kyle?
Kyle's experience is nothing like that of an indigenous islander!
Wait a minute? Where are they?
Rivers looked at the crowded street; he'd lost his way!
...
In the corner, Kyle shook hands with another person of similar height, wearing a broken bone mask and dressed similarly.
"You're in my place, scapegoat!"
The man nodded and whispered, "For freedom."
Kyle reappeared on the high street, holding a list and exposed himself to Riverst's view.
He was looking for supplies on the list when Rivers followed him, keeping an eye on him.
The real Kyle, however, headed towards the port. Yes, he returned to the port, but his target was the merchant ships.
...
The captain of the merchant ship is directing his crew to unload crates of wine from the ship.
"What a disaster, Xiao Dong, why do you think the king sent so much wine?" crew member Ster said to his companion.
"So much... Can Lord Dark Sea King finish it all?"
"Could it be... that he's attracted by our princess's beauty?" Ster licked his lips. "Just thinking about the princess's little feet makes me chuckle..."
"Tsk, it's so good to be rich!"
"Hey, Xiao Dong, you've been a bit quiet lately?" Ster patted his companion on the shoulder, who just glared at him and continued unloading.
"What do you mean, you idiot!" Ster shook his head, unable to understand.
...
Kyle arrived in front of the merchant ship, and some of the crew members stopped what they were doing. Ster also paused, looking at Kyle with a puzzled expression.
"Captain Sentinel, you're moving way too slowly. You haven't finished unloading yet!" Kyle called out from afar.
“A sentry?” Ster looked behind him.
As the merchant ship approached, a group of captains walked hand in hand, with a tall captain at the front bowing to Kyle.
"Looks like everyone's here, shall we begin?" Pike, who was walking from another street, waved.
"Our Captain Pike is all alone? Is that enough?" the tall captain sarcastically remarked.
“Heh, instead of wasting time, we’d better hurry up, I can’t wait any longer,” Pike sneered.
“A storm is coming…” a captain said in a low voice.
"Celebrate our victory prematurely?" Kyle raised his dagger and plunged it into his palm, foul blood beginning to flow.
Ster was terrified; for a moment, he felt like he was surrounded by monsters!
He stepped back, but bumped into Xiao Dong's arms. Xiao Dong's gaze was particularly unfriendly.
"No way... Xiao Dong... I, I'm Ster! Aaaaaaaahh ...
No one will know about the fighting in the port...
It's too noisy here.
Fishmongers tapped on their fish, shouting to passersby about how delicious their fish was.
The knife in his hand cuts open the fish meat, which is then neatly arranged on a jade plate. This will be the most exquisite delicacy for the wealthy.
Ice cubes coexist with a half-dead octopus, numbing the senses—an art of pain and beauty…
...
"Mix in the blood, just a little bit, and shake well! Shake well!"
"Hurry up!"
"It's up to you now, Captain Pike~"
"I wouldn't mind going back and chopping off your head!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
...
In the bustling commercial street, the crew members, wrapped in thick coats, carrying wine or pushing suitcases, strolled along the various streets.
"Praise be to the Dark Sea King! Wine from the Princess of Tirosicia! Enjoy free of charge! One bottle per person!"
"Praise be to the Dark Sea King!!!" Everyone rushed to drink.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Occasionally, a merchant who makes a fortune will have his men squander the goods and share in the joy... In reality, it's to clear out the stock and gain a reputation.
...
“Kyle, you seem to have gone a bit too far. Have you found everything?” Riverst approached Kyle, who nodded and showed him the supplies he had collected in the box.
“Looks like everything’s ready. Shall we head back?” Reeves nodded and said, “Once everything’s settled, I’ll be heading to meet up with Iger.”
Kyle nodded, bent over, and followed...
...
Inside the castle, the witch Ig threw a bag of her concocted poison powder at Pike.
"This is enchanted powder, mixed into the wine for the warriors to drink."
"Yes, I understand." Parker took the powder and left, but threw it away in a corner of the corridor.
She's such a vicious woman! We'd already given her the poison, and she added more!
Double agent? Wait a minute! What kind of term is that?!
Inside the room, Igor folded the letter and summoned the ravens from the top of the castle.
She reached out and gently stroked the crow's head, placing the letter in its claws.
"Have the island's guard and combat teams prepare to come to the castle; we need to start setting the traps..."
...
A dark shadow swept across the sky above the castle, and a crow carrying a letter flew toward the military port fortress not far from the commercial district.
...
Inside the Griffin family's castle, the warriors drank heartily the wine they were rewarded with...
...
Igor hummed a little tune as he went to check out the situation, led by Pike...
Sudden!
She froze; the messenger crow she was controlling had been hit by an arrow!
Who is it?!
...
Inside the fortress, a soldier with a bow walks toward a crow...
"Hello, Miss Witch!"
