"Are you going or not? Hurry up."

The man collecting the money urged.

"What's the hurry? Do you want to take the boat or should I?"

"Okay, just take your time to think about it. We'll set sail soon."

The man turned and walked away.

No matter what, Beorra couldn't make up her mind.

This is totally not normal, how can you do business like this?

Besides, can he really guarantee what he promised?

As he was hesitating, Wu Yue's voice came from behind him:

"Beora!"

"Eh? Wu Yue? You're still here. I thought you had left the city a long time ago."

"Didn't Beorra leave either?"

"Look, some people want to make money from the war, but they can't even get on the ship."

Beorra pointed to the wrecked ship nearby.

Wu Yue looked in the direction of Beora's finger, and indeed, this ship didn't look so... formal?

The sails and sides were torn, and the crew looked fierce.

It is very likely to be a black ship.

"That's right. Fortunately, Beorra hasn't boarded the ship yet."

"Ha, you want to trick me? No way."

"But if that happens, how will Beorra get home?"

"Ah... I don't know either. If I could find a suitable boat, I wouldn't have to stand here..."

"By the way, Wu Yue, weren't you going south? Why are you at the port again?"

"There were some changes to the original plan. Anyway, I have to go to the New World now... I thought Beorra might not have left yet, so I came to find you."

"Your guess is quite accurate. In my opinion, there will be no way to leave in a short time. It would be good if you were here. At least there would be someone to talk to."

"Well, I thought Beorra had thought of this in advance and had a way to leave."

"I just found out that due to the cross-strait relations, the route to Sindrar has been suspended."

"These guys just now have been operating privately in the past two years. I don't know why no one is in charge. They are simply robbing money."

"I think it's not that no one cares, but that they can't care."

Wuyue said.

"Or we can go find some connections, such as the Knights' Order or... the Lord of the Coastal Territory or something like that."

"It doesn't seem right to bother others... Besides, if Sophia were here, this would be a feasible approach."

As for Wu Yue and Beora, they probably won't be given enough face.

"What should I do? I can't go home."

It's a really puzzling situation.

"How about we rush to the east coast of the continent by land, and then take a boat across the sea from there?"

"It's not the time to go to the bottom, Beorra..."

Wu Yue looked around at the ships docked in the port, and soon saw a familiar large ship.

"Master, is this the same ship we took last time?"

"Yes."

"Beora, why don't we go to that ship and take a look? At least the quality is guaranteed."

"Which ship? Oh, is it the one we've been on? I remember the captain really did what he was paid to do. Very good, let's go."

......

"Crossing the sea? This is a bit difficult. Although I am happy to serve you two, this is a serious business. I have reported it to my superiors. If I carry passengers across the sea without permission, I will be punished. I am really sorry."

"But Captain, all the ships I asked just now seemed to not care about the policy regulations. Why is it that yours is not the case?"

"Those people are either smuggling gangs or slave traders. You two must not fall into their trap. Although the port control has been tightened in the past two years, this phenomenon still persists. It is said that these black ships have deployed spies in the city in advance. Once the inspection team arrives, they will immediately go out to sea and hide. They are very cunning!"

the captain warned.

"I can guess some of this, so Mr. Captain, is there any way to cross the sea safely?"

"Well... maybe it would be easier to go north from Tafu Port. A fishing boat would be enough. Or we can wait until the sea freezes in winter and pass through the strait in the Far North."

"I mean, is there any way to depart from Laupa Port as soon as possible and safely cross the Sea of ​​Divine Punishment..."

"Believe me, you two, this is a turbulent time. War may break out at any time. Forget about the formal channels."

The captain hesitated for a moment.

"But if you insist...it's not a dead end."

"really?"

"It's just that this method depends on your abilities. Of course, I believe that you two who can go with Miss Sophia can definitely do it."

The captain looked around and confirmed that no one was around. Then he lowered his voice and said to the two of them:

"The Thieves Guild."

"Huh? Why them?"

Beorra expressed her confusion.

Does the Thieves Guild really have anything to do with the topic we are discussing?

"I've heard that too. The Thieves Guild's business is spread all over the continent, and the New World is no exception. They have definitely opened up their own unique shipping lanes, which are efficient and safe."

The reason given by the captain was convincing. After all, the Thieves Guild needed to transport stolen goods and personnel as safely as possible and avoid official routes.

It has to be said that compared to the unreasonable smuggling gangs and slave traders, the large-scale and reputable Thieves Guild is obviously more reliable.

"Okay, that's a solution. We can give it a try..."

"But, I have been in Moore City for several years and have never heard of the Thieves Guild. Where can I find them?"

Beorra asked.

"That's what I heard. I can't guarantee its authenticity... You two should try your luck at the Handao Tavern in Laupa Harbor. The owner there has a close relationship with the Thieves Guild. That's all I can say. I wish you two good luck."

......

The captain was kind enough to point out a clear way, but now there was no other way, Wu Yue and Beora had to go to a houseboat called "Han Dao Tavern" in the port to look for information about the Thieves Guild.

Once inside the bar, the atmosphere was normal.

After all, drinkers are the same everywhere.

"Ladies, do you want to have a drink in this vulgar place?"

The tavern owners I met in the past were all men, but the owner of this tavern was a woman with an eye patch and a good figure. At first glance, she looked like a pirate.

"Hello, Madam, we are here..."

Beora wanted to ask about the ship, but was stopped by Wu Yue.

"Boss, please bring two glasses of milk first."

Wu Yue pulled Beola to sit at the bar.

"There's no milk. If you don't want to drink, I'll give you some juice."

The woman seemed to see that something was wrong between the two of them, so she smiled and said.

"It's troublesome."

Two minutes later, two glasses of crude juice were placed in front of the two.

"It was just delivered this morning. It's very fresh."
