Chapter 273: Setting Sail Again

The Black Pearl left the Forbidden Sea with HMS Johenna Smith for two days before contacting the outside world.

The church, Pande Empire, and many other countries quickly sent people to help.

Another half month later, HMS Johenna Smith finally arrived at the Pande Empire, in the province of Lionheart, in the city of Laria.

After getting off the ship, many people felt a sense of surviving a disaster; no one expected a ship to reach the Forbidden Sea.

To survive from the Forbidden Sea, even from the outskirts, is something to be proud of.

"Little ghost." Russell lowered his hat and looked at Karoso, "This is the Pande Empire, and as an arms dealer, I can’t leave the ship. I hope we meet again someday."

"Hmm." Karoso nodded, "It truly was an unforgettable journey."

"My daughter over there also appreciates your care." Russell smiled, "If you in Canglang Province want to buy arms in the future, I can give you a discount."

"Thank you," Karoso replied, seeing the practical benefits.

Saaya, seeing Karoso being personally seen off by Russell, felt quite jealous.

He originally wanted to go straight back, but this trip had left him with a mental scar, so he didn’t dare to take a boat or plane at that moment.

"Alright, you have plenty of things to deal with later, and a lot of people are watching you here," Russell said with a slight smile, "With an Emperor Goufuh, you can stir up the whole world; you really are something."

"One day, I won’t need this kind of thing to make the world tremble for me," a spark of brilliance flashed in Karoso’s eyes.

"Hahahahaha… Good!" Russell laughed, "I’ll be waiting for that day!"

"What about Elizabeth?" Karoso glanced back.

Russell said cautiously, "Why are you looking for her?"

"Just asking, after all, we have traveled together," Karoso waved his hand.

"Well, she and her Black Pearl cannot come ashore," Russell sighed.

After going to sea, the daughter received the legacy of a legendary pirate and even boarded that legendary pirate ship; it was truly interesting.

Karoso thought to himself that with a father like Russell, Elizabeth’s safety and future were not worries.

……

In a faraway place, Laria.

Elizabeth held a telescope, quietly watching Karoso, who was ready to come ashore.

On the Black Pearl, she could not just leave the ship, and she definitely could not let this ship full of spirits dock here.

"Captain."

Just then, the first mate brought a compass and handed it to Elizabeth.

"This is…" Elizabeth blinked, "broken?"

The compass was a bit confused, the needle was spinning wildly.

"This is a wish compass. It will point to where you want to go," said the first mate.

Elizabeth was a bit surprised; there was such a magical item? How interesting!

"Well… some areas of the sea may not be very safe, right?" Elizabeth suddenly thought of this.

The ocean is not so calm, and the safe routes open now were carved out by countless Forerunners with their lives.

Some places are more likely to have heavy rain, while other places are more likely to have sea monsters, and so on.

"Captain!" the first mate said solemnly, "In this world, there is no place the Black Pearl dares not go!"

"That’s true!" Elizabeth replied with a small smile, "Sailors, set the sails and let’s go!"

"Where are we going?" the first mate asked curiously.

"To plunder!"

Elizabeth quickly thought of a group of people who had bullied and oppressed her when she was a singer.

Their family… but they have a trading caravan.

Let you experience the cost of offending the future Pirate King!

……

Celica and Minaret are staring at each other.

Neymar, Sophia, and Jenny, three little girls, are following behind Celica, and behind them are a vigilant Pastor and Knight.

This time, Sophia is a bit sleepy; she hardly did anything and just fell asleep, feeling very happy.

In the game story, Sophia erupts her power, Merlin assists, Null and 『』 print cards on the spot; it’s all exciting moments.

But this time, Neymar drained Sophia, and Null and 『』 did not appear, so the problem was solved with Minaret and Black Pearl, meaning Sophia, the ‘main character,’ had nothing to do with it.

"Even though we fought together this time and you helped us a lot, we are still enemies," Celica silently looks at Minaret. "This time, I’ll let you go because you were cooperative. The next time we meet, I will capture you myself."

"Sure, I am waiting," Minaret yawns. "Next time, you might be facing a ninth-tier thief."

"Hmph, you are a Ninth-tier Thief, and I will be a Ninth-tier Pastor!" Celica’s eyes sparkle. "And I will be faster than you!"

In this battle, both of them gained some understanding.

In a battle at sea, Saladache is now at the eighth tier, but he once reached the peak of the ninth tier. This allowed the two of them to see many things, each with different understandings.

Of course, Minaret has lived for so long and has witnessed countless ninth-tier battles.

However, facing Celica put great pressure on her.

Moreover, while ninth-tier battles are common, a ninth-tier falling to the eighth tier is something even Minaret has only seen occur once.

……

Other nobles and commoners left first, experiencing a small wave of turmoil at the port, while many people were being interviewed.

This incident is destined to be known all over the world.

Soon, Karoso said goodbye to Russell, and Celica said goodbye to Minaret, and they got off the ship together.

They had barely just arrived at the port when a large crowd surrounded them.

Snap, snap…

The magnesium powder burns, and bright light flashes wildly.

"Bishop Celica, may I ask what actions the Church of the Dawn Goddess has taken that led HMS Johenna Smith into the endless sea?"

"Why is the Church responsible for this event, and what does it really mean?"

"Is it true that the Church’s goal is to defeat the gods?"

"Has the Church truly obtained the fallen body of a god?"

"Is the outcome of this journey related to the City of Freedom Incident?"

"Bishop Celica, I heard you fell in love with a dark elf on the ship…"

"Has the Church of the Dawn Goddess reached an agreement with the dark elf tribe?"

"I heard you don’t like men, you like women. Did the rules of the church make you this way?"

A bunch of microphones were pushed toward Celica’s face, and some almost went into her mouth.

Seeing the group of gossip reporters in front of her, Celica was so angry she gritted her teeth; she wished she could cut them with a sword.

Celica said that dealing with these people was even worse than fighting Saladache again.

"Please move aside, move aside, I have no comments on this…"

Soon, the people from the Church of the Dawn Goddess arrived.
