Chapter 504 Port Royal
Tang Sen was not in a hurry. For him, he came to this world without much utilitarianism.
There is no need to be busy exploring or rushing to trigger purchasing tasks.
Tang Sen would rather take a small boat, study spells leisurely, and use magic power to drive the boat to Port Royal.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a sea chart, divination is still a good way to find your way in this world.
"It's more difficult to access the power of space than I thought. Even if idealism is used to replace some of the knowledge requirements, the principles alone are enough to give people a headache."
Tang Sen sat cross-legged in the middle of the boat, constantly deducing various spell models in his mind.
He is studying the eighth-level conjuration spell: creating a demiplane.
This spell has the same effect as its name, allowing the caster to directly create a demiplane. This demiplane can be used for storage, hiding or even trapping enemies. The size of the demiplane is based on the caster's magic power and Depends on knowledge.
Of course, if the caster is aware of a demiplane created by another creature using this spell, the spell can also connect to that demiplane.
Almost all mages will not miss this spell because it is so convenient.
Naturally, Tang Sen would not miss it. However, at the eighth level, the difficulty of the spell had risen sharply. He had already started studying this spell when he was in Faerun, but he didn't have much clue yet.
Even the surgical fruit also has spatial abilities, but the use of devil fruits is closer to instinct than the accumulation of knowledge.
Tang Sen casually pointed at a point in the void, and a vague crack appeared, but it dissipated almost instantly, just like an illusion.
"Can't even open the door, let alone open up a new space within the boundary wall."
At this, Tang Sen's heart moved slightly, he opened his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance.
It's a sailing ship.
With Tang Sen's eyesight, he could already see the black pirate flag on the mast, as well as the dirty and busy pirates on the deck.
"After wandering for more than half a month, I finally encountered a ship. Is it actually a pirate ship?"
Tang Sen did some divination and found that he was very close to Port Royal. If it were in the past, there would be no pirates in the waters so close to Port Royal.
The pirate ship apparently also discovered Tang Sen floating on the sea. Two pirates stood on the side of the ship and pointed at Tang Sen, but the pirate ship did not sail towards Tang Sen.
This is normal, even pirates are not that boring. A person in a small boat looks like he is in trouble, and there is no oil or water left on him.
Just as the wind picked up, the pirate ship accelerated with full sail, passing not far from Townsend, heading straight towards Port Royal.
"interesting."
Tang Sen sat back and watched them leave. He was not that bored. He would go to find trouble with a group of ordinary pirates unless they were short-sighted.
"Is it because I took away the vitality of Port Royal before, which caused pirates to start plundering near Port Royal?"
"But looking at the appearance of these pirates, they don't seem to have made any preparations for fighting before plundering."
Guessing there was no point, Tang Sen patted the side of the ship gently, and the boat immediately began to accelerate, breaking through the water, and quickly chased after the pirate ship.
Half a day passed by, and the silhouette of Port Royal appeared above the sea level.
Tang Sen couldn't help but stood up and looked at the place where he started. The scene where he used money as bait to take away most of the good people in Port Royal was still vivid in his mind, but now, Port Royal is still crowded. No, Even more lively than before.
But Tang Sen's eyes narrowed slightly.
The pirate ship docked at the dock of Port Royal skillfully. The pirate leader got off the ship and even paid a parking fee honestly.
Looking at the other ships docked at the pier, except for the fishing boats, most of them also had black sails. The people coming and going on the pier square looked quite menacing, and from the town behind, the sound of musketry could be heard from time to time.
This is a mess.
"Has Port Royal been taken over by pirates?"
Tang Sen actually didn't care about the ownership of Port Royal. He came here just to revisit his old place, but he didn't expect that the changes would be so big.
"Even if there are reasons why I took away the good men and troops, an island controlled by the Royal Navy should not become like this in just a few years."
"It seems that time in this world flows faster than I imagined."
At this time, Tang Sen's boat slowly approached the square, which attracted a lot of people's attention - a ship without sails could actually dock. Everyone would be amazed at the other party's luck.
As soon as he stepped onto the wooden plank of the pier, a manager came up to him. He was decently dressed, but he always had a strong air. He looked Tang Sen up and down with his eyes and said, "You don't look like you are dressed well." You're a poor man, do you have any shillings on you?"
Before Tang Sen could speak, he rubbed his hands and said, "Other items are fine too. The price of going to Port Royal is not cheap."
Tang Sen casually tossed over a gold guinea coin.
After his authority was upgraded, the unlimited money bag was long gone. The money runes in his palms allowed him to withdraw various kinds of money at any time.
The manager's eyes lit up, he skillfully blew on the gold coin, put it to his ear and listened, his eyes suddenly narrowed with laughter.
"It turned out to be a noble young master. He was really generous."
He came closer and showed an eager attitude: "For the sake of gold, I remind you that Port Royal is not a place where people like you can stay safely."
He pointed at the pirates who were glancing here intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "They all think that you are very lucky. A small boat was not capsized by the wind and waves. But in my opinion, your luck is very bad." .”
"Being targeted by these people on the island who deserve to be hanged is much worse than being drowned."
Tang Sen looked at him calmly and took a step back slightly to avoid the fishy smell on the other person's body.
"However, I am the most warm-hearted person." The other party still spoke calmly: "Seeing that you have a good background, I am willing to make friends with you and protect your safety in Port Royal. Of course -"
He rubbed his thumb and index finger together and smiled.
Behind him, several people moved their positions towards this side, and their right hands touched their waist without any trace.
Tang Sen couldn't tell what the other party was thinking. He showed his wealth. These people wanted to take advantage of other pirates to take advantage of them before they noticed.
Thinking about it, I went to the governor directly in danger because I was worried about this happening, but now it's no longer interesting.
Tang Sen did not look at him, but looked at the town behind the dock and the familiar Governor's Mansion halfway up the mountain.
"I have a question."
He asked calmly: "Since this place has become a pirate's nest, why is it still called Port Royal?"
