Because they did not understand the nearby waters, the Blood Shadow did not approach directly. Instead, it first found a suitable place to anchor, and then let its men who were good at water skills explore the nearby waters.
Mark, with some of his men, put down several small boats and rowed towards the shore.
"Boss, do you think this is Greystone Island? I remember there is no such beach on Greystone Island..."
Otto looked at the approaching coastline and couldn't help but muttered. Several pirates sitting next to him nodded in agreement.
They are all old men who followed Mark and once explored Greystone Island together.
There are only reefs and mines on it, there is no beach as beautiful as the one in front of you, and there are not even a few plants.
At first, we planned to try to mine the ore on Greystone Island, but it was temporarily shelved due to manpower and transportation.
Mark also saw that this place did not look like Greystone Island, and was wondering where it was.
Mark was very upset at the moment. The Blood Shadow must have sailed into an unfamiliar sea.
Strangeness represents unknown danger.
Otto's reminder annoyed Mark, and he replied angrily,
"Stop talking nonsense and find a place to stay later!"
"Yes, boss!"
Seeing Mark's bad expression, the pirates quickly responded in unison, fearing that they would suffer.
Only the mage Angina sat on the boat and said nothing.
She doesn't belong to the Blood Shadow Pirates, so she doesn't have to pay attention to Mark's orders.
What caught Mark's attention was the way Angina looked at the sky.
Mark looked towards the sky in the direction of her gaze, but he could only see a gray sky and couldn't see anything.
"Your Excellency Angina, what are you looking at?"
Mark asked very politely.
"nothing."
Angina withdrew her gaze and replied calmly.
In fact, she just vaguely saw a black shadow flying across the sky, but when she took a closer look, there was no trace of it.
Anjina wanted to use the Eagle Eye Technique to search, but she hesitated and chose to give up.
There is a strange island in front of her, and she doesn't know what she will encounter, and Mark is not her absolutely loyal ally, so Anjina needs to save her magic power.
Mark has been at sea for decades, and he immediately understood what Angelina was thinking.
He didn't care about Angina's concealment, but said with a smile,
"Your Excellency Angina, we are all in the same boat now. No matter what we encounter, we can share the hope. That will be more conducive to our survival here."
With that said, Mark extended his right hand to Angina, "You said that, right?"
Angina glanced at Mark's hand and did not choose to shake his hand, but just nodded slightly,
"good."
This made Mark slightly embarrassed. He smiled and took his hand back casually.
Fortunately, the boat had already reached the shore and diverted attention. The pirates jumped into the sea one after another and pulled the boat down to the beach.
After landing, Mark immediately led people to explore the woods, and soon found a camp on the hillside of the woods.
The camp was complete, and traces of life could still be seen vaguely, but there was no one inside.
Mark became more and more confused and wanted to know where all the people inside had gone.
However, at this time, the black mist was gradually rising, and there was no time to waste any more time. Mark had people rowing boats one after another to send everyone else to the shore, including the captured prisoners.
It is worth mentioning that when three pirates were exploring for dry firewood near the camp, they encountered several skeleton monsters with red lights in their heads.
The skeleton monster was not very strong. Although the three pirates were a little panicked, they still killed the skeleton monster that attacked them and broke it into piles of bones.
But the sound of their fighting attracted more skeleton monsters, and when it got dark, the three of them could not stay outside for long, so they had to turn around and run back to the camp.
As a result, this group of skeleton monsters was attracted to the camp by three pirates.
So, before the pirates of the Blood Shadow could even get their butts wet, a fight broke out between them and the skeleton.
Compared to the pirates who had experienced hundreds of battles, the skeleton monsters holding bone knives and shields looked very weak. The pirates only paid the price of injuring a dozen people and chopped hundreds of skeleton monsters into pieces.
The pirates, who had been wandering around the ship all day, were even more tired after this battle and just wanted to find a place to have a good sleep.
But the appearance of the skeleton monster made everyone nervous.
This is not because of how strong the skeleton monster is, but what they are more worried about is that they don't know what else is waiting for them on the island.
…
In the study room in the main building of the castle, Allen stood on the balcony and looked at the men and women mingling in the square. He couldn't help but sigh,
"If these were all human beings, many new lives would be born tonight..."
At this time, he suddenly became curious and wondered whether these people who had been resurrected through activation still had that ability.
"Maybe when I really become a god, I can give them that ability."
Allen, who was convinced, had begun to care about these people involuntarily.
"My Lord."
Allen was thinking when he remembered a familiar voice.
He looked back and saw that it was Kelly.
Allen and others were unable to participate in the soldiers' carnival in the castle, so Kelly held a small banquet in the main building, mainly for Crete Faschidoron and others.
Leza did not attend the banquet because as a human being, he still had a limited capacity for drinking. He had been drunk by the soldiers a long time ago, and he no longer knew which widow's bed he was lying on.
Of course, there is no custom of drinking in Aosen, but there is the entertainment of drinking wine, and the reason why Lesa drank too much was because he refused to admit defeat.
Kelly took off her armor at this time and put on an off-white evening dress embroidered with golden patterns. Her exquisite waistline completely highlighted her figure. Her delicate girlish face and golden hair were both noble and seductive.
.
Already accustomed to seeing Kelly in armor and casual clothes, Allen had usually ignored Kelly's beauty. Now his eyes lit up when he saw her in an evening dress.
Allen took the wine glass from Kelly and looked at her,
"I have to say, Kelly, even the most beautiful pearls will pale in front of you."
"Thank you for your compliment."
Kelly pinched the hem of her skirt and gave a slight salute, "Thank you also for making me a baron."
"This is my promise to you, you're welcome."
Allen smiled indifferently, changed the topic and continued: "But according to our current situation, your baron should only be effective on our island, and there should be no chance of being recognized by the alliance."
Allen doesn't want to have anything to do with the alliance now.
At present, he is not strong enough to be the enemy of the entire South Bay Alliance. Easily exposing the mobile island under his feet will definitely make people covet him, so Allen plans to secretly develop it now.
Hunt monsters in the black fog, accumulate life essence, collect wealth, and buy slaves and equipment.
Be bigger and stronger and create brilliance.
"The alliance is not important, the most important thing is your approval, my Lord." Kelly said solemnly.
"Don't take it so seriously, Kelly,"
Allen smiled and raised his glass to signal. Kelly also raised the glass with Allen and took a sip.
"Yes, my lord,"
Kelly remembered something and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll get something and I'll be back soon."
Allen nodded, then Kelly gave a slight salute, put down the wine glass, and left in a hurry.
When she returned to Allen, she had an animal skin scroll in her hand.
…
"Is this the nautical chart recording the ancient ruins that you originally wanted to make a deal with me for?"
Allen looked at the somewhat incomplete nautical charts on the table, smiled helplessly and glanced at Kelly beside him.
"The missing part is not very important... I can fill it in as long as I find a larger sea area map..."
Kelly was a little embarrassed after being exposed, and her cheeks were slightly red due to the alcohol.
She recalled the situation at that time, arousing an inexplicable emotion, and whispered unconsciously: "And later I plan to increase the weight of cooperation..."
"Um?"
Allen didn't quite hear Kelly's words and asked: "What weight?"
Kelly didn't answer. After hesitating for a moment, she raised her head and looked at Allen with blurred eyes. She hooked her delicate arms around his neck.
"My Lord, if you need it, I am willing to..."
The fragrance of jasmine sets off the fragrance of the girl, mixed with the faint smell of wine, and rushes towards Allen.
Allen is not a nymphomaniac, but he is not an ascetic monk either. Kelly has been presented to him, and he will definitely not refuse.
He grabbed Kelly's slender waist, lifted it up suddenly, then lowered his head and began to taste the warmth and softness of the two petals!
However, the overture of life instinct had just played, and the study door was pushed open with a bang!
"Master, pirates landed on the northeastern beach...oh, no!"
Ashes hurriedly covered the red hole in his helmet and hurriedly exited the room.
"Damn it, I wonder why Miss Faschi is waiting outside!"
