Chapter 54 The Second Frigate
"If it's fire-attribute, then it's a breathtaking pure black, and then..." At this point, the man suddenly sighed with worry.
He gave a self-deprecating laugh, then his voice weakened as if he had thought of something painful:
"If you happen to meet that woman, you might learn more. I, a half-baked fourth-tier archmage, can't teach you much..."
"..."
"Which woman—"
Vivian was about to ask a question after a moment of silence when a deafening clap of thunder from nearby abruptly stopped her in her tracks.
"Boom—!"
A vast expanse of black and red rose from the edge of the sea and instantly engulfed an island. The oppressive force that followed immediately forced the two to their knees.
"...Never mind, whatever happens, happens."
Looking at the terrifying black and red lightning in the distance, the man shook his head:
"In short, the safest place now is the open sea. That guy's casual strike has already ruined the lives of us half-baked guys..."
Vivian blinked, somewhat uncertainly, and said, "Perhaps it's because they speak that strange language?"
"A special language…" he muttered, and a large number of nouns inexplicably surfaced in his mind.
Clicking his tongue, the man stroked his stubble: "Perhaps a lot of their knowledge comes from live streams?"
"What's a live stream? I vaguely remember hearing that name somewhere." Vivian touched the tip of her nose, slightly lost in thought.
He shook his head decisively, straightening his suit jacket. "I don't know either. Don't try. We have no idea how to approach that language; it's completely undecipherable..."
"Splash..."
Their conversation came to an abrupt halt due to a sudden, massive wave; the electric arcs carried by the wave even dispelled the surrounding stench of blood.
"..."
At this moment, Jiu Nian stood at the bow of the ship, idly swinging his spiked club.
Although the few vampires that had charged at him earlier did amuse him.
But second only to being interesting, it's ultimately just a matter of spitting out a mouthful of phlegm.
"Ha~"
"It's been a long time since we've had a fight..."
He let out a lazy breath, and Jiu Nian relaxed his waist, his joints cracking as he watched the comments on the screen.
...
"No, isn't what Master Jiu did a bit unethical? Taking advantage of their recovery period to launch a sneak attack?"
"Isn't doing this beneath the dignity of a Yonko?"
"That's exactly the effect we want. The enemy won't let you off just because you're sick today!"
"I just arrived, what are you doing, streamer? Going to rob someone?"
"Hahaha! Our young master Jiu is only interested in magic crystals! The warehouses along the coast are probably going to suffer!"
...
The live stream chat was buzzing with comments, with everyone discussing the upcoming battle.
The powerful figures on the mainland were injured while besieging the Golden Rat, and now no one can stop any of the Four Emperors, so the viewers in the live broadcast room are talking freely.
Jiu Nian just stared at him without saying a word, deep in thought about something that was none other than the Dead Sea Scrolls, because he desperately wanted to break through to the Dharma King level…
After his previous attempt to seize the area failed, he sent men to watch the area again to see if any of Magellan's escort ships would return.
"Report to the Governor! We have crossed the eddy currents and arrived at the East China Sea for resupply! Should we use the teleportation array at this station? Please advise!"
A sailor stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and then raised his head to report.
The sudden words pulled Jiu Nian back from his thoughts, but looking at his current appearance, he slowly sank back into his memories.
To be honest, he felt he had become somewhat addicted to this world, and like most players, he didn't want people to call him Jiu Nian anymore...
Although he's an incredibly wealthy second-generation heir in real life, and no one dares to say no to him, the feeling he has now far surpasses that in reality…
"Click..."
He extended his palm, the armor on his body rubbing against each other with a crisp sound, and he sighed deeply.
No one can resist such power! He can now send millions to hell with a flick of his wrist; he is the king of the sea and one of the world's greatest powers!
"Governor? What's wrong?"
When the sailor saw that there was no response, he mustered up his courage, took a step forward, and asked in a low voice.
"No, I'm fine. We still have enough magic crystals left in the cabin for a few more teleportations, right?" Jiu Nian shook her head and blew her nose.
"Glug..."
Swallowing unconsciously, the sailor then reported loudly, "Reporting to the Governor! After this teleportation, if the remaining magic crystals are teleported back from the East China Sea port, they will only return to the Whirlpool Sea!"
"Prepare to teleport! We'll plunder along the coast then." With a wave of his hand, he immediately gave the order.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" After saluting, the sailor immediately shouted, "All personnel prepare! Start the power unit! Coordinates: East China Sea, Sharp Morin Port! Left helm, 60!"
"Buzz—!"
Upon hearing this, the pirates on the ship quickly sprang into action, and the huge ship soon became bustling with activity, the entire vessel slowly enveloped in azure light.
"Weigh anchor—!"
"Empty—!"
Two enormous magic circles instantly appeared on the sea surface and in the sky. As the magic circle below exerted its power, the entire ship was propelled into the magic circle in the sky…
"Whoosh...!"
The terrifying behemoth vanished from the sea in an instant, and when everyone opened their eyes again, they found themselves at the port of the East China Sea.
"What is that?! Pirates! It's pirates!"
"All hands on alert—! Pirates are coming! The sea…"
The sailors in the port were immediately panicked when they saw this; they had never seen such a huge ship before.
Upon seeing the flag, their legs went weak, and they immediately began calling for backup.
"Um!?"
Picking his ear, Jiu Nian suddenly felt that the environment was a bit noisy, so he glared at them fiercely and released his magic power, which pressed down on the port in an overwhelming manner.
"boom--!"
In an instant, everyone fell silent, and the harbor was filled with naked sailors lying unconscious on the ground.
Their clothes were burned in an instant, and the terrifying heat dissipated after a few seconds.
"Thump—!"
He leaped from the bow of the ship with the force of his legs and landed heavily in the harbor.
"Uh...cough...Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!?" A soldier in a white robe with silver trim staggered to his feet, staring at the newcomer with a look of fear on his face.
Slowly walking forward, Jiu Nian grabbed the man's collar like she was lifting a cat: "I've never seen your clothes before. Are you from the Vatican? Heh..."
"But since you're not unconscious, go back and pass on a message for me." He clicked his tongue in amazement and brought his face closer to the soldier's.
"Go back and tell them that Lord Kai is coming. Tell them to prepare 400 tons of magic crystals. Otherwise, I will go to the Northern Plateau and talk to them in person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a defiant smile crept onto Jiu Nian's lips. Then, he swung his arm and launched the soldier like a cannonball.
"Aaaaaah—!"
Amidst screams, the soldier quickly disappeared into the horizon.
Port of Surami
Just as Jiu Nian ordered the looting to begin, a frigate bearing the flag of the Caesar Empire was gradually docking at another port not far from this one.
"Next, as Captain Magellan instructed, send the two eggs and the remaining Dead Sea Scrolls back to Naxi Tarot City in two separate groups!"
A middle-aged man wearing a silver-gray vest stood at the port and began to direct the order at the scene.
"Send these novel minerals back with you, and be careful!"
A soldier walked up dejectedly, saluted, and reported: "The men sent to the neighboring port have not returned! These minerals may be difficult to manage in a unified manner."
"How could that be? Although our voyage took a long time, the Empire wouldn't change its cargo flow regulations
