We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

[Your actions have successfully increased the trust of the sea tribesmen, and their attitude towards you has become more and more respectful! 】

[The status "Worship of the Sea Tribe" has changed! 】

[Quality: inferior → ordinary! 】

As soon as Xia En finished this submersible, he saw a few lines of prompts flashing on the panel.

"This should be equivalent to... an increase in regional reputation?"

"If it's in the game, maybe some hidden missions or plots will be triggered next?"

Xia En thought casually and walked out of the captain's room quickly. He saw Joey counting the loot on the deck.

An, who was all wet, stood on the edge of the deck, looking around towards the sea, as if looking for Xia En.

In order not to expose his "projection" ability, Xia En took the initiative to break up with An, so he naturally thought that Xia En was still under the sea.

At this time, An was obviously startled when he saw Xia En walking out of the captain's cabin.

Before he could react, Xia En said first, "An, you are so slow."

"I've already wiped myself and changed my clothes. Why did you just climb onto the deck?"

"...?!"

An's mind shut down for a moment, and then she took out a pen and paper and wrote.

[I didn’t expect the captain to move so fast. It was because I was surfacing too slowly. 】

"It's okay. People's physiques cannot be generalized. Just be more careful next time."

Shane didn't want to dwell on this topic for too long.

Looking at An's armor that was still leaking water, he couldn't help but ask a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"I'm curious, does your armor need regular internal cleaning?"

Since An boarded the Black Swan, Xia En has never seen An take off his armor once. Not to mention the cleaning problem, people have to excrete, right?

Or are elves, like beautiful girls, creatures that cannot poop?

Hearing this question, An stayed in place for a significantly longer time.

After a while, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote.

[This armor is enchanted with a cleaning spell once a day, so it can be kept clean without washing. 】

[Also, occasionally, I will solve this problem after you are asleep. 】

When writing these contents, his handwriting seemed a little awkward and no longer as vigorous and powerful as usual.

"I see."

After his curiosity was satisfied, Shane smiled with satisfaction, and then he and Joey counted the harvest of this dive.

The three ornaments given by the Hai Clan are all of good quality, and most of them were once used by the nobles of the Southorn Kingdom.

Such antiques have always been popular among wealthy people on various islands.

A single piece can be sold for at least dozens of silver snake coins. Among them, the price of the better-quality ones is even measured in gold dragon coins.

In addition, there are two people exploring the loot of the chapel and mansion.

There are gold coins and silver coins from the previous era, as well as some materials containing extraordinary secret power.

Altogether, it is also a considerable fortune.

But for Xia En, the real treasure is none other than the smooth and milky white [Mysterious Spirit Pearl]!

To be exaggerated, this is his ticket to the secret path.

As soon as you take hold of the Mystic Spirit Pearl, you will feel a faint cooling sensation flowing down your skin into your body.

Xia En only felt that some kind of power in his body became active, and his five senses became more acute, as if he could sense some invisible and intangible existence in the air.

In a daze, he once again heard the joyful cry of the Black Swan beneath him.

"Is this what is called enhanced inspiration?"

"Just wearing it on your body has this effect..."

"Then, according to the description, if you grind it and swallow it, the degree of inspiration enhancement will definitely be greater."

Thinking of this, Xia En's eyes lit up slightly, and he wanted to find a place to try the effect of this "magic potion".

But at this time, Joey suddenly pointed to the sea not far away and exclaimed.

"Mr. Captain, a ship is approaching us!"

"Um?"

Shane's eyes narrowed and he turned to look in the direction Joey pointed.

On the blue sea, a three-masted sailboat, much larger than the Black Swan, was slowly approaching against the wind and waves.

However, there is no pirate ship-like logo on the sail of this sailboat.

Engraved on the bow of the ship is a faceless woman wearing a veil.

The sunlight reflected on the sea surface spreads a layer of glow on the bow of the ship, giving it an indescribable sacred quality.

If Xia En is not mistaken, this is the statue of the Storm Goddess.

Some captains believe that carving a goddess statue on the bow of a ship can protect the safety of the ship and crew, deter evil creatures in the ocean, and bring good luck to themselves.

Generally speaking, pirate ships do not carve such figures on their heads.

Most pirates trusted their muskets and scimitars more than their gods.

Even so, Xia En did not relax his vigilance.

After all, approaching by disguised as an ordinary ship is also a hunting strategy of pirate ships.

In fact, after arriving in the sea area where Coral City is located a few days ago, Xia En also saw several ships from a distance.

But both parties tacitly maintained a safe distance and had no intention of contact.

The behavior of actively approaching like this is obviously abnormal.

Shane called Joey and the two with his hands, indicating that they were ready for battle. At the same time, he picked up the telescope and looked at the deck of the three-masted sailboat.

Through the lens, Xia En saw a female captain who was more than two meters tall.

Beside her was a man with a hooked nose.

Xia En vaguely felt that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name for a while.

However, it can also be seen from the image of the people on this boat that they are most likely not pirates, but ordinary salvage boats.

There is a clear difference in temperament between normal sailors and pirates who lick blood from their swords.

"Not a pirate..."

Shane sighed with some disappointment.

Hearing this, Joey blinked in confusion.

Isn't it a good thing not to encounter pirates?

Why did Mr. Captain look so sorry?

…

…

Not long after.

The distance between the two ships was greatly shortened.

You can see the scene on the other side's deck without using a telescope.

The female captain waved to Xia En and shouted loudly: "Hello, Captain Xia En!

"I am Lena, the captain of the Titan. We met on Duke Island. It was fate that we met on the sea. Why don't you come to my ship for a drink?"

Reina's tone was calm and generous, and just like her, it carried a sense of charisma, which made people feel good about her.

"Captain Lena invites you kindly, how can I refuse?"

In front of the sailors of the two ships, Xia En responded calmly.

next moment.

He sprinted forward and jumped up from the deck.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Xia En jumped across the gap between the two ships and landed lightly and smoothly in front of Reina.

With an agility attribute of up to 8 points, it is undoubtedly easy to do this kind of thing.

The sailors on the Giant were secretly frightened.

Not to mention this strong physical fitness, the courage to get on the ship alone is definitely not something ordinary people can possess.

"What a skill! What courage!"

Reina's eyes were full of brilliance: "He is indeed Captain Xia En, and he truly deserves his reputation."

But beside her, the hook-nosed man's eyes were more complicated, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Captain Shane, long time no see..."

In this regard, Xia En looked puzzled and asked politely.

"……Who are you?"
