204 Silent Horn

In a flash, many days passed.

The giant ship continued to sail calmly on the sea, and the voyage was more than half, and it successfully drove from the deep sea area to the shallow sea area.

Here, although we can't see the mainland, we can see huge islands from time to time.The number of sea ships has also increased. On the deck, you can often see several merchant ships passing by in the distance, which finally made the sea a little angry and not so dead.

Of course, problems also follow.

First, the giant ship began to frequently adjust its course to avoid existing reefs and prevent stranding.In addition, pirates that once disappeared have also begun to appear.Although every time, the injured Demps can start to scare off the pirates, or eliminate them directly, but there is always a feeling of tiresomeness.

In addition to the traditional pirates, there is a new type of pirates.Compared with traditional pirates, new pirates are more difficult to deal with.They do not fight the skull flag, but will hang the official flags of their respective countries, wear official fancy clothes, take the sailors on the warship to quickly approach, and then ask to board the ship to check and ask for the cost of transit.

They claim to be maritime tax collectors in certain countries, but in the eyes of everyone, they are even more disgusting than pirates.Even Temples cannot easily kill each other, because sometimes the tax collector is a wizard himself, and he also has many wizard apprentices.Therefore, in most cases, Demps can only be extorted and pay fees with a cold face.At the most exaggerated time, sometimes I can encounter three sets of tax collectors from different countries.

...

Many days later, in the morning.

On the sea, a giant ship docked, and a beautiful white warship stood side by side.

On the deck, Demps stood expressionless. In front of him was a man in light blue clothing, about thirty years old. Although he was just an ordinary person, there were two imposing men behind him. People who are far more than wizard apprentices are protected.

"Hello, this sir." The man in blue uniform smiled and introduced himself to Temples. "I am the tax collector of the Kingdom of Myron, named Tim. I have seen your ship. It’s not a cargo ship, there is no cargo, but the number of members is a little more. According to the regulations, you need to pay a transit fee for certain crystal coins. Well, not much, and the same as the rest of the country along the way."

"Tim tax collector!" Demps narrowed his eyes narrowly. "When did the waters of the Kingdom of Myron even collect taxes? When I passed by more than a month ago, there were still three of me on board. Companion, why don’t I remember you haven’t boarded the ship and collected taxes?!”

In fact, Demps understands why this is the case. It is entirely because the other party saw that he was the only wizard on the giant wheel, and the mana fluctuated steadily. He was obviously seriously injured and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail.If he was not injured, or if Sever, Louis, and Quinton were all there, he would only need to stand on the deck, and the opponent would not bring the warship over.

In this sea, strength is extremely important.Without sufficient strength, they can only be blackmailed by tax collectors who are bullied and afraid.

Although Demps knew it, it was a bit unacceptable, and he couldn't help laughing at it.

But after Demps said the sarcasm, the tax collector Tim didn't seem to hear the hidden meaning at all. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Well, is that the case, then...this adult, or...you... This time, make up for the missing taxes?"

Temples listened, his eyes sharpened uncontrollably, and the mana in his body surged.

The tax collector Tim sensed something behind them and immediately made a warning action. One of them took a slight rest on Tim's shoulder to remind him.

Tim smiled and said brightly to Temples: "Haha, this wizard, don't be angry. I'm just kidding. How could I make you make up. After all, I only took office this month Yes, the former tax collector is already in the dungeon. I’m too lazy to take care of his affairs, haha, haha."

"However." Tim's expression became serious again. "But this time I still have to pay it. After all, it's not just our Myron. The rest are like Grande, Stans, Fish, Vogarde. On the way This is true in all countries. If you pay the transit fee in the rest of the country, but you don’t pay it here, I will be blamed. This lord, you should be pitiful to me, you still have to pay this tax."

When Tim spoke, his face was pitiful, but the attitude in the words was extremely tough-don't want to leave without paying.

Temples frowned, but he didn't really want to get entangled here, and looked away.Potter, the third-level wizard, came over and handed out a wooden box to Tim, the tax collector.

After Tim took it, he opened the box and swept it quickly. His eyes lit up, and there was a certain amount of crystal coins in it.

Putting the box down, Tim bowed to Demps: "You're an old lady, I will say goodbye first."

After speaking, he took the people away, quickly returned to the warship, and drove away.

Temples stood on the deck and watched the warship leave with cold eyes. He couldn't help coughing a few times and covered it with a handkerchief. The handkerchief was full of blood.

"Can't go on like this." Temples said, "This group of vampires is so disgusting. If you go on like this, when you reach the White Rock Tower, everything on the entire wheel will be blackmailed."

"What about the teacher?" Potter asked tentatively.

Temples narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "Go out of the boat first, and then I call someone to help."

"convener?"

"Ok."

"Uh." Potter asked no more and quickly told the sailor to go.

...

The giant ship sailed again, and after half a day, it stopped in an open sea that did not belong to any country.

It was at dusk, the sunset was golden, the entire sea was dyed golden, and the entire giant ship was more like a golden ship.

On the deck, Temples stood straight, looking at the surrounding sea without saying a word.

Suddenly footsteps sounded, Porter holding a box, carefully walked out of the cabin, walked to Demps's hand, and said, "Teacher, what you want."

"Hmm." Demps nodded, opened the box, and took out a ten-centimeter-long horn.

The whole horn is dark black, with a deep luster, like jade.The surface is portrayed with complicated lines, and it looks simple and mysterious.

Temples held the horn, activated it with power, and then sounded.

The horn was silent, but some kind of information was quickly transmitted.

Temples blew halfway, put the horn back in the box, then coughed again, and covered it with a new handkerchief, which was mostly red.

Potter watched with concern, and asked aloud, "Teacher, what are we going to do next?"

"Wait." Temples wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and put it away.

"Wait?" Potter wondered.

"Wait." Dempsey said, looking at the sunset that was about to fall into the sea, but his expression was extremely positive.

"Oh."
