The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

One month ago - Siena Port

"Master, the supplies this time are so sufficient, I believe Lord Richie will be satisfied." Bob said.

In order to fulfill Lord Richie's request this time, Barto specially rented four ships and came to the Azure Empire to purchase food and other supplies.

Although the Azure Empire is an island country, its area is half the size of the mainland, and is about the same size as the Shining Empire and the Bright Moon Empire, except that it consists of a large island and many subordinate island countries.

The closest port to the Port of Auckland is the northernmost port of the Principality of Tremond, a vassal state of the Azure Empire - the Port of Siena.

The Port of Siena is also the largest port in the Victoria's Secret World. Thanks to the developed shipbuilding industry of the Azure Empire, it is the center of the southern part of the Victoria's Secret World. There are no less than a thousand ships of all sizes within sight, and all kinds of supplies and scarce materials are available. Barto and his men purchased supplies in the Port of Siena.

"Yes, the principality is still at war. This batch of grain will definitely solve the urgent problem. Lord Richie and even Lord Justin will look up to me, Barto." Barto said happily.

Barto and his companions had just left the Port of Siena, and on the ship they kept recalling the time they spent in the Port of Siena.

The days spent purchasing supplies were also the most comfortable days. There was no need to worry about pirates, as there was a powerful imperial navy. There was no need to worry about not being able to buy anything, as there was the largest exchange in the southern part of the world and a wide variety of shops. As long as you had money, there was nothing you couldn't buy. Even the so-called noble ladies could be found here, provided that you had money.

This place is open, free and inclusive. Any speech can be made as long as it does not actually attack the empire. There are also the most diverse professionals here, with various large and small organizations spread across the islands of the Azure Empire. Even the necromancers who are hated by the two major empires in the north of the world can be seen everywhere on the streets. As long as they do not violate the laws of the empire and release necromancy in the streets, they will not be wanted.

The largest magic organization in the Azure Empire is the Hand of Mage, headquartered in the capital of the empire - Gotford.

……

The last trip to the forest left a deep impression on Helen. The feeling of walking in the forest was very novel. The air was filled with the smell of nature, and various green plants and wild flowers grew between the big trees. The frightened little animals running around and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves all gave Helen a beautiful feeling. It felt like the forest was full of vitality. Finally, when Nora and I arrived at the small lake (which Colin had been to), we touched the cold water and watched the little animals in the distance lowering their heads to drink water. It was really a moving picture.

Helen was somewhat fascinated and discovered many plants from the illustrated books in the forest, which further enriched her knowledge.

Seeing how happy his daughter was these days, Baron Richard did not stop Helen's behavior, but simply sent more people to protect her secretly.

"Miss, let's go back. It's getting late, otherwise the Baron and his wife will be worried." Nora urged.

"Okay." Helen left reluctantly.

"We'll come back tomorrow."

……

Colin has been feeling quite comfortable lately, feeling that everything he does is going smoothly. Since joining the scout team, he has learned a lot of hunting knowledge and reconnaissance skills, and is now considered a qualified scout.

His strength was also slowly improving. Ever since he met the mountain cat by the lake in the forest a few months ago, he had always wanted to fight it. However, he didn't know whether it was due to the efforts of other teammates or the "mopping up" by Lord Alex. Except in the depths of the forest, there were basically no powerful wild beasts to be seen, let alone magical beasts.

Many slaves from the Emerald Territory came in batches, but not everyone could join the army. He knew that he was only able to benefit from the shortage of people here in the early days.

The scale of the timber industry in the Emerald Territory grew larger and larger, and many of the new slaves were assigned to nearby timber processing factories.

The size of Jumu Village had surpassed that of Shahe Village, and the composition of the people in the two villages was also different. Most of the slaves engaged in wood processing and some free people mainly lived in Jumu Village, while farmers, fishermen, and some slave soldiers mainly lived in Shahe Village.

The outer walls of the Emerald Castle were further expanded, and the Baron had the idea of ​​building a market town around the castle.

Seeing the prosperous scene of the Emerald Territory, Colin deeply felt the great power of human beings to transform nature and the insignificance of individuals in this alien world.

……

"Master, we are almost at Emerald Territory. Do we need to stop there for a few days?" Bob asked.

Emerald Territory is not on the direct line between the Port of Oakland and the Port of Siena, but is slightly off an angle, about a day's boat ride away.

Because it was not far from the route and would not delay things too much, Barto thought for a moment and said, "Well, sure. In addition to food and other supplies, we have also purchased some scarce goods. I believe the Baron will still be interested."

"However, we can't delay too long and miss out on important matters," Barto continued.

……

Red Shark.

Pugna felt that some people were coming on board. He quietly opened the door and saw from afar that it was Jesse's group.

"Damn it! These dogs have really sharp noses. They can even find this." Pugna cursed in his heart angrily.

Now is not the time to complain about this. I have to find a way to leave here. Although the captain's room may not be searched, if I cast suggestion spells on Francis every day, Jesse and the others might find out.

After living in the captain's room for so many days, Pugna observed the place carefully for the first time. The captain's room was located one floor below the deck. There were no other supplies on the ship except fresh water and food, and the draft was not deep. Pugna looked out the window and found that the window was above the horizontal plane.

It is not difficult to break the window, and it is not difficult to hold your breath for a short while under the water. The difficult part is how to jump into the sea without breaking the window.

Thinking of the fully charged teleportation stone, Pugna had an idea.

The Red Shark is currently at anchor and its position is relatively fixed, so Pugna directly recorded the location of the captain's room.

He knocked Rose unconscious and left her in the captain's room. He slowly walked out of the captain's room and slipped towards the small boat tied to the side of the guardrail.

……

Everyone on the ship's attention was mainly focused on the cargo hold at the bottom.

Commander Hedram Burgess looked at the sailors on the ship and instinctively felt that they were not good people. They had a bit of the same feeling as Jack he had encountered before, but his men did not find any direct evidence. Francis, who was following him, was talking a lot of nonsense, but Hedram did not respond and endured it without getting angry.

After Jesse led the team on board, they found that it was an ordinary sea ship. Although it was not small in size, it did not have any obvious smell of necromancy.

Jesse felt a little bored and was about to turn back to the fleet ship. But when he saw the captain talking to Hedram not far away, he felt something was wrong and there was a slight fluctuation of magic power.

Jesse turned around and went back, walking towards Hedram and the others. As he got closer, he indeed discovered the fluctuations of magic power.

"Do you have a magician on board?" Jesse asked.

"In reply to your Excellency the Mage, we are just a merchant ship with only some ordinary sailors on board. How could the honorable Master the Mage possibly board our ship?" Francis said humbly.

Having so many professionals on board the ship put a lot of pressure on Francis. "If I am found to be a pirate, will I be caught and taken back to the Port of Oakland?" Francis thought worriedly.

"Are there any strangers on your ship?" Jesse asked next.

"No, Master Mage, the sailors on the ship are all old people who have known me for a long time, and there are no strangers on board."

"No, sir, nothing was found." Jesse's men reported.

Ignoring his men's report, Jesse then asked, "Where is your room?"

Francis said, "It's right across the street. The biggest one is mine."

Jesse looked at the room in the distance and saw that the door seemed to be open. He walked over first.
