Chapter 383: Chapter 329 Waiting by the Stump for [Blood Shark]_3
Trying one’s luck on the vast sea was a probability too low.
Even though Lis had Helen’s Luck Aura around him, he didn’t feel it would be useful in this scenario.
So, Lis changed his approach, he decided to “lie in wait”!
Instead of following the Blood Shark, it was better to wait at a place for the Hurricane.
Unlike the Eagle, the Hurricane couldn’t possibly choose to dock at the official ports of the Boditch Kingdom for supplies, so Patrick had to opt for several black markets on the Pearl Sea to obtain supplies and fresh water while also selling goods.
This was also because another Gold-level powerhouse from the All Beast Church had died during the Blood Sacrifice Chaos, and the criminal syndicate that the Church had established in the coastal ports of the Boditch Kingdom to fence stolen goods had crumbled under the incursion of other forces, unable to recover in the short term.
...
Thus, Patrick could only obtain supplies in this manner.
The area where the Eagle was now located was near Giant Horn Island in the central Pearl Sea, where a grey port built by smugglers existed to serve the pirates of the Pearl Sea, specifically for fencing goods.
Though it was just a small port, it was fully equipped with a bar, a brothel, and the like, enough to willingly draw out the money pirates had looted.
This port, said to be built by smugglers, was in fact a private venture by several Great Nobles of the Boditch Kingdom, so the Kingdom Navy generally pretended these places didn’t exist.
According to the intelligence Lis had gathered, this place was one of the grey ports where the Hurricane frequented.
In the past week, the Eagle had been waiting here, closely watching the pirate ships that appeared in the port of Giant Horn Island.
Since the Hurricane always stayed here for at least a day, Lis was not in a hurry. He had Charles and the others keep an eye on the port daily while he invested more time into honing his abilities.
“I understand.”
Lis didn’t mind, since he had chosen to lie in wait, he was naturally prepared for a prolonged combat.
Just then, after digesting the residual will of Divinity, he was also exploring higher applications of his Extraordinary Domain.
At that moment, a brown little boat appeared on the distant horizon.
Clearly without sails or the motion of oars, yet this little boat rapidly approached the Eagle, propelled by the waves.
“It’s Evar!”
Charles, being a hunter, had sharp eyes and spotted the suddenly appearing small boat instantly.
After returning from Divine Island, Evar’s special abilities had greatly enhanced.
For instance, now he could directly manipulate the waves to propel the small boat forward.
The small boat quickly reached the side of the Eagle, and Evar lightly leaped onto the deck of the Eagle.
“Lord Lis!”
Evar caught sight of Lis at first glance and hurriedly came forward to salute.
“Did you just come back from the port?”
Lis looked at Evar sweating from his forehead, appearing somewhat rushed, and asked.
“Yes, Lord Lis, I just returned from Giant Horn Island.”
Evar caught his breath and said with a deep voice:
“Just now, I saw the Hurricane enter the port.”
Different from Charles and others, Evar had been a mercenary on the Pearl Sea for many years and naturally recognized the features of the Hurricane.
Lis had instructed them to wait around the port for the Hurricane, though he didn’t know why, but Evar still diligently kept watch at the port, and he had rushed back the moment he saw the Hurricane.
To be honest, Evar was acutely aware of the notorious reputation of the pirate Blood Shark Patrick and remembered that Lis had been chasing the pirate ship before.
Could it be…
Evar dared not think further, although he had also significantly improved his strength, he still did not dare to face that Golden Rank existence.
Yet, if it were Lord Lis, perhaps it might still be possible, right?
Lis was instantly energized upon learning that Patrick had already reached the port of Giant Horn Island.
I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!
Lis suddenly felt invigorated, now wanting to drag Patrick out for a beating.
But after all, he was a Gold-level Druid, so the necessary respect still had to be shown.
“Let’s go, Evar!”
Lis greeted Evar, jumping from the ship onto the small boat in front of Evar.
Seeing this, Evar could only continue to act as the boatman, as he took Lis towards the port.
…
Bull Horn Island port,
Numerous dark wooden stakes were deeply embedded under the sea surface, waves gently splashed against the port’s black rocks, casting up fine white spray, as seagulls circled around the dock occasionally stealing food from the workers’ boxes.
Many people were bustling on the docks, continuously transporting various kinds of food, alcoholic beverages, and other supplies from the Boditch Kingdom, with plenty of pirate ships docked at the port, drunken pirates visible everywhere.
However, no pirate dared to cause trouble here, after all, the Nobles, who acted as the ultimate organizers behind the scenes, had arranged for Gold-level professionals to oversee the place.
Any pirate stirring up trouble here would be thrown out directly, and their associated pirate ships would no longer be welcomed at the gray ports across the Pearl Sea, so every pirate ship kept their crew members in check.
Although the port itself was not large, being on a major island of the Pearl Sea, it equivalently served as a small town.
Tens of thousands lived here, surviving by providing services to the pirates.
But today, the port of Giant Horn Island was somewhat different.
A massive three-masted sailboat coated in teal entered the port, appearing massive, yet the pale turquoise currents swirling around its body subtly emitted a sense of Light Spirit.
All who saw this ship recognized it; this one was the iconic pirate ship of the notorious pirate Blood Shark Patrick, known as the Hurricane!
“Even though it is a pirate ship, it looks so beautiful!”
“It looks more like those ships that the Nobles ride.”
“When can I go aboard and experience it?”
The clerk counting goods at the port also spotted the Hurricane and murmured.
“What are you thinking? That’s Patrick’s ship; do you have a death wish?”
A colleague overheard and sneered.
“I was just saying!”
Just as the two were whispering to each other, a muscular figure enveloped in a fierce aura appeared on the Hurricane, leaping from the ship and landing on the dock.
The daunting aura of this person made them hesitant to say more, causing them to bow their heads and sweat profusely from the back.
Blood Shark Patrick!
