Volume 5 Chapter 61 - Bored life on the sea (1/2)

The endless seas in the first parts of summer were endlessly changing.

As soon as there was a storm, the clouds would scatter and the sun would come out. Then the damp and cold seas would be covered in clouds, just like a fairyland.

Seeing a figure appear in front of him before that dancing figure disappeared again, Leslie spat out. His spit was salty because of the salt water that had been splashing from the sea.

This was eight hundred kilometers away from Thunderbolt Island and it was more than three hundred kilometers away from the nearest coast.

Looking around, not to mention a ship, he couldn’t even see a ghost.

Other than flocks of seabirds, as well as fish and sea beasts that they couldn’t see the true forms of on the surface of the sea, they could only see a few small islands scattered around.

This place was bleak, but it wasn’t desolate.

Seeing the large schools of fishes that were in the surrounding seas, Leslie knew that this trip wasn’t empty.

The fish near the coasts were sparse because they had been caught by the fishermen over the years, but there were still countless delicious fishes and sea beasts that were deeper in the sea. One could imagine just how much better people’s lives would be if they had the resources of the sea.

It was no wonder Leslie had heard something before, if you want to become rich, head out to sea.

Just with the schools of fishes that he saw, he could sell them for at least several tens of thousands of gold coins on the short. It was enough for a normal person to never worry about their needs again.

Not to mention that the fish seemed endless, they had seen countless schools of fishes on their journey. If they found a way to sell these fish, it would be enough for countless people to become rich.

Of course, Leslie leading the guard fleet away from Thunderbolt Island and heading deeper into the sea wasn’t to find fish.

His main mission this time was to chase the pirates near the coast, further expanding the area of influence of Thunderbolt Island. At the same time, he would develop his reputation by the coast, giving himself the name of the pirate king.

It should be said that he was very good at accomplishing this.

After sweeping out all the pirates by the coast of the Rudson Kingdom, Leslie led the guard fleet east. Along the way, he would attack any pirates that he heard about.

As for the results……

With twenty medium guard Magic Ships and close to a hundred Magic Speed Boats, with countless Magic Repeating Crossbows, Magic Bazookas, and guard teams with Magic Cannons, they cut down those trivial wooden boats like nothing. It was more than what the pirates armed with simple bows and javelins could match.

No matter which pirates they were, they couldn’t even touch the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet. They had been sunk under the attacks of the countless arrows and Magic Rockets, turning into ghosts on the sea.

In just a single month, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet led by Leslie had created a big name for themselves in the southern seas of the Candra Empire.

In these seas, the strange boats made completely of iron were like devils for most people.

In the last half a month, as long as the pirates heard that Leslie’s guard fleet was approaching, their first choice was to run. They never dared to have a thought of resistance.

So Leslie hadn’t experienced a single fight in the past half a month, it had always been peaceful.

This made Leslie feel a bit bored.

When he decided to become a pirate, he wanted to leave the Lampuri Kingdom.

Now that he had been on the seas for this long, he found that he had already fallen in love with this kind of life.

Although life on the seas wasn’t stable and tough, being on these boundless seas all day gave him a sense of carelessness and freedom that he had never felt before.

And fighting with the pirates also made him feel pleased. Watching those pirates who did many evil things disappear, he didn’t feel any guilt at all, he just felt happiness.

The only thing he wasn’t happy about was that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce guard fleet that Xu Yi gave him was too strong. It was so strong that the pirates couldn’t fight back at all.

This made him feel like he had been bullying children and he couldn’t derive any happiness from it.

He had mentioned this to Narvil of the transport fleet and he had received the indirect, but very clear despising of Narvil.

“On the seas, having peace is what one wants the most, who would want to seek death.”

Leslie wasn’t a boorish fellow, so of course he understood this, but that didn’t stop him from feeling bored.

“Ha.”

Perhaps it was the warm sunlight or perhaps it was because it was too boring, but Leslie suddenly felt tired and couldn’t help giving a large yawn.

Looking at the calm waves in front of him, Leslie was certain that no deaths would seek their own deaths, so he should take this time to take a nap.

According to the goal that Xu Yi gave Narvil, his next task was to completely control the southern seas of the Candra Empire, creating a connection to all the seas of the Sines Continent through the southern seas.

This mission was very hard and long, it couldn’t be finished in one or two months.

Leslie knew that it might be possible that he would never return to the Lampuri Kingdom and staying on the seas might be his destiny, so he wasn’t against Xu Yi’s task at all. Anyway, he would just treat it as his life’s task instead.
