Extraordinary Sailing

　　 The night is dim, only the dim stars flicker.

　　嘭——

　　 A box full of goods fell heavily on the dock.

　　 "Idiot, be careful, if you break the goods, be careful that I peel your skin!"

　　 "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we will pack it right away!"

　　 Many ships are still operating in the "Newin Harbor" at night. I don't know which chamber of commerce's loading and unloading personnel had a problem, which caused the steward to curse.

　　 also caused some commotion in the dark...

　　Different from Gabriel, who is only a dual-purpose military and merchant, the situation here is more complicated than the previous one.

As the headquarters of the Falettis Kingdom Adventurers’ Association and the Sea Hunters’ Union, "Newin Harbor" also accommodates people from all directions with different backgrounds, as well as navigators, explorers, sea hunters, speculators and even It is the "exotic treasure" brought back by the fallen sailors.

　　The personnel are complicated, the wealth is moving, and the turmoil from time to time is the norm here.

　　 At this time.

　　 An expedition ship with a lot of damage and apparently experienced a thrilling journey, slowly docked on the berth under the guidance of the navigator.

　　嘭——

　　 The boat hadn't stopped, and a group of dozens of people rushed down from the boat, hurriedly, as if something was chasing after them.

　　 After a brief contact with the port staff.

　　 This group of people quickly disappeared into the darkness under the leadership of a connector who had been waiting on the dock.

　　 Although the port staff were surprised by the behavior of these people, they didn't think much about it. There are more and more mavericks in this city, and they don't have the curiosity to go to the bottom.

　　 As long as the management fee is paid on time, they can go wherever they like.

　　...

　　 "Todd, what's going on with the buyer you contacted? We must dispose of this item as soon as possible." The lead a muscular man in a long windbreaker strode to the stars and asked the connector next to him.

　　 "Boss Stanley, I have already contacted you, and the agreed time is tomorrow night." Todd, a shrewd man with short hair, approached the boss and replied in a low voice.

　　 "Aren't they a local power? Can't they trade right away? Why wait until tomorrow night?"

　　 A series of rhetorical questions were exhaled by him.

　　 At the same time, the middle-aged man known as Stanley's boss glanced around behind him unconsciously, and he was holding a box tightly wrapped in black cloth.

　　 "We violated the request of the client, did not hand it over to the designated person, and took such a big risk, can they not work around it?"

　　 It was obvious that the contents of the box put a lot of pressure on him, and his voice was not as steady as before.

"Boss, no. There is more than one force who wants this item. The buyer with the highest bid said that they must find a way to quickly transport it after receiving the goods. Even the local snakes need to arrange a way out. Tomorrow night is already the fastest Time is up.

　　 If they cannot guarantee the absolute safety of things, they would rather not! "

　　 Todd explained to his boss with a bitter face that this was the result of his best efforts, but he couldn't help it if time was too tight.

　　 In fact, Stanley was not in a hurry. Although he accepted the request to deliver the things to the designated personnel, violating the contract and selling for a price is as simple as drinking water and eating for him, and he does not need to care about the employer's request.

　　 But that box, that wicked box, has undergone a weird change when the agreed deadline comes.

　　 He swears that he has been a sea hunter for a lifetime, and he can be regarded as knowledgeable. He has been exposed to many weird and strange things, but he has never seen such an evil thing.

　　This box...it has its own consciousness!

　　 is not an obscure low-level monster or the like, but the kind of organized, clear thinking and flexible wisdom. Yes, Stanley thinks it can only be described by wisdom!

　　 Wisdom can naturally communicate with people, but the communication process is obviously not that wonderful. Thinking back to everything that happened at that time, Stanley's mindset that has been riding the sea for many years couldn't help but fight two battles.

　　Because it is like a superior master, or a ruler of the game, it puts forward its very strange and absurd requirements, which is what it calls the rules of the game.

　　The holder must act according to the rules it proposes, otherwise it will eat a living person every twelve hours! Until the sea hunters on the boat are eaten up!

　　 Facing the threat of the box, everyone sneered at first.

　　 But after that, even if the power of his entire team was assembled, it couldn't help but this small box could not be stopped, destroyed, or thrown away. It had almost no resistance to eat up eight companions.

　　 They compromised.

　　 From the moment the task deadline expires, people like myself have become servants of this box.

　　 Stanley even had a crazy idea that there may not be any client from beginning to end, and behind it is this weird box directing and acting.

　　 Until now, after repeated trials of blood and flesh, the two sides have been able to barely coexist.

　　 He felt that only by finding another wave of voluntary acceptance and handing it over, could they really get rid of this thing, and after making huge sacrifices, they really couldn't bear the big golden lion promised by the buyer.

　　 "Quick, quick, time is up, change quickly!"

　　 A young man in the team behind him who was holding a pocket watch for timing suddenly screamed, and a figure quickly rushed out of the team to take the box.

The companion who had originally held the box quickly retreated as if it was not a box, but a large-yield alchemy bomb ~www.ltnovel.com~ The person who took over is not altruistic. If this ghost gets out of control, Everyone who has shared a boat with it will be unlucky, as the dozens of former companions who didn't even have bones left before have proved this.

　　 Now everyone can only expect that the boss can find a way to find the next home, trade it out, and get rid of this terrible box at the same time, it would be great if he could get a large amount of golden lion.

　　 This is also the original motivation for them to actively cooperate.

　　The rule of the game proposed by the box today is that the holder must be in a state of constant movement. If the holder does not change, each hour needs to meet a requirement of the box.

　　 Either answer a question or do a trivial thing, the difficulty of the event will gradually increase, and if it fails to meet the requirements, it will directly swallow it...

　　 Just after the shift was completed, the box made the sound of the winding gears turning.

　　 "Kotakota..."

　　 Then, it looked like a music box and an aria. In short, it came out with an indescribable cold air: "Ahhhh, it's a shame to be avoided by you!"

　　 The box made a sound of dissatisfaction, and the sea hunters around it were all in a cold sweat.

　　 Hearing that crippled voice, Stanley couldn't help but shudder even though he was already an official knight of the extraordinary rank.

　　 "Regardless of the **** buyer, Todd will find us a safe place to live."

　　 "No problem, boss, you are ready, come with me."

　　 Todd bowed and agreed, while concealing the twinkling light in his eyes by bowing his head.

　　 was the first to lead the way away from the bustling and noisy port area, leading a group of people toward the quiet and empty factory area in the dead of night.
