Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 55: Smuggling ship

　　 The surface of "Lighthouse Island" is just a plain overseas island with neither resources nor scenery.

　　 But in fact, it was the place where the great nautical movement of the Kingdom of Falitis started, and it was also the first non-offshore island discovered by the government. It has extraordinary significance throughout the history of navigation.

　　 The annual "Sailing Day" commemorative event also symbolizes the Kingdom's continuous exploration and unforgettable spirit of exploration.

　　In the annual celebrations, in addition to participating citizens, chambers of commerce, explorers and various non-governmental organizations, the three major fleets of the Kingdom regularly send representatives to participate.

　　 This year, the Third Fleet sent a four-tier battleship "Nonwind" and a five-tier cruiser "Silver Wing" headed by Lieutenant Snett, which are enough to show their importance.

　　 It is worth mentioning that although the chief logistics officer of the fleet is already the top three absolute high-level officers, the Third Fleet is far from rich enough to send major battleships above Tier 3 to participate in the celebrations.

　　In the era of great navigation, every warship has its own important responsibilities.

　　 Moreover, the east of Lighthouse Island belongs to the offshore area, and the safety can be guaranteed. The two battleships were temporarily captured by strong men. This style is also in the same line with the pragmatic spirit of the logistics officer.

　　 Aiwen measured the current strength of the pirates he had encountered and his own.

　　"Well, this mission should be stable. Besides, except for a madman with special purpose such as One-eyed Betsy, who would attack a warship inexplicably if nothing is idle? There is no such thing as an accident. Break the skull..."

　　 The journey has just started, but Aiwen has already stood up unknowingly!

　　 Before he knew it, the three black sail pirate ships wandering the route of the New World quietly turned their course, and collectively sailed to the east coast of the Black Sea.

　　 assisted by the sea breeze, the black sail bulged, and the cracktooth shark painted on it with its big mouth closed as if it were about to come alive.

　　......

　　 "Fire warning! Let them stop the boat."

　　嘭——

　　嘭——

　　The cannonball hit the ship's side and splashed a huge splash of water, slowly forcing a fast merchant ship to stop ignoring the stop signal of the warship.

　　 From obese merchants in silk robes, merchant captains to ordinary sailors and slaves, one after another lined up on the deck to wait for inspection. Faced with two naval warships armed to the teeth, no one dared to resist.

　　 step on.. step on.. step on..

　　 The soldiers lined up and ran on the deck, the army boots made a neat and loud footsteps, and it took just a few minutes to quickly control everyone.

　　 It is now the fifth day of the departure of the two warships participating in the celebration. The journey was calm and calm, but under General Snett’s "fire-eyed and golden eyes" a fast sailing vessel, which was suspected of being a smuggling ship, was found.

　　The voyage on the sea was too boring, and the quiet and thoughtful General found a lot of fun, and the above scene naturally happened.

　　 "Your Excellency, we are serious businessmen!"

　　 The obese businessman wiped the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, while trying to stuff a beautiful gold pocket watch into the hands of the major officer who led the team to check.

　　"Serious businessman? What did you run just now?" The officer sneered, ignoring the bribery of the fat businessman. Lieutenant General Snett was watching from the warship behind him, he was crazy to open the back door to this profiteer.

　　 "I... we just didn't see, yes, we didn't see the signal!" The sweat on the businessman's face grew faster, and the officer's refusal to bribe made him feel that the situation was not good.

　　 After a while, the navy soldier who went down to check in the cabin returned.

　　 "Report sir! The upper level of the cargo hold is ordinary wine in oak barrels, but there is only a small layer. The full cabin below is filled with fine whale oil."

　　 Upon hearing this, the major officer smiled and patted the obese businessman on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Serious businessman, can you explain why your actual goods are inconsistent with the tax payment receipts issued?"

　　 The fat businessman with a pale face was shot by the officer, and he collapsed directly to the ground, crying loudly.

　　 "All my net worth, woo woo woo..."

　　 Kingdom law stipulates that smuggled ships that have not paid taxes are not protected by the navy, and all goods are confiscated once they are seized.

　　 If he did not happen to be inspected by a warship and successfully sold the smuggled goods, then with the difference in value between whale oil and ordinary alcohol, after all necessary expenses were removed, his worth would be at least four or five times higher.

　　 Greed created a fluke, but the mentality of a fat businessman collapsed instantly when his dream of getting rich was pierced.

　　Everyone knows that he is not regretting smuggling, but lamenting his bad luck and all his wealth that is about to leave him. If he could go back in time, he would definitely make the same choice, but he would not take this route again...

The news of 　　 was quickly transmitted back to the warship "Nuanfeng" where the general was located.

　　 Standing on the main deck, next to the middle-aged officer in the general's cloak, a young man who looked a bit like the general but was dressed in a captain's uniform immediately jumped up and said, "Hahaha, I knew this was a smuggling ship. "

　　 Obviously, the one who discovered that it was a smuggling ship was not the dazzling general you imagined, but the young people around him.

　　 "Wow! My brother is great!" A girl next to her in a Gothic loli dress also cheered. Obviously, they were the family members who accompanied the general to the celebration.

　　A group of adjutants and officers on the Warm Wind around them formed a circle~IndoMTL.com~ all praised: "It really is a tiger father without a dog!"

　　 It’s a coincidence that, on the Silver Wing, which was driving side by side, he seized the favorable position of the observation deck and was watching the lively Aiwen, and he also noticed the one who is called the star Pengyue for the first time. Young people.

　　 "Wow!"

　　 "Mr. Zorro really is a ‘big man’!"

　　 Except for normal semaphore communication, the members of the two ships did not interact much.

　　 But when I saw this young man today, Ivan recognized him at first sight. It was the thief and fortune-teller who had dealt with him several times... Mr. "Zorro".

　　 You don’t need to guess that the hapless smuggling ship smashed into the sand is not because of the so-called "eyesight" and "experience", but "Zorro"'s extraordinary level of divination.

　　 To tell the truth, after first recognizing "Zorro", Ivan didn't think much except to lament that his true identity is higher than he thought.

　　 Because although they were walking along the way, nothing happened between the two of them. After this mission, as two people, they couldn't fight even more.

　　 But Ivan was very excited soon.

　　 Wait! !

　　 Ivan suddenly remembered the words left by "Zorro" after the match that night:

　　 "I remember you! I will give you something to ask for advice next time."

　　 I didn’t pretend at all that night, this guy knew him!

　　 However, after thinking about it, Ivan repeatedly confirmed that there should be no irreconcilable conflict between himself and this guy. Although he snatched a witchcraft notebook from him, he also took care of his divination business!

　　 shouldn’t be able to wear my own shoes... right?
