把雪白的岳弄怀孕了

"DONG!!"

"Hey! Take it easy" I said while looking at the Crimson Black eye crew who were startled back by my voice with a little apprehension on their faces.

It seems that they are still wary of me because of the way Knight Camille was killed.

I snorted.

Regardless, I didn't want to stand by and watch as they incur more damage to my ship as they removed their ship's anchors.

"Captain" Mad John who was standing next to me as I rested my body against the helm said, pointing his hands in a certain direction.

Following its direction, my gaze made contact with Annabelle's figure.

Right on time!

It was already late evening, meaning the sun would set in a few hours. So getting out of here to fix my ship was my number priority and it would be bad if I were to leave behind the one person capable of helping me do so.

Huh!! What does he want now?

I frowned while looking at Captain Crimson eye and his trusted companion -Jerry who had accompanied Annabelle unto the ship.

I wouldn't have thought more about it if only he wasn't calling for my attention.

"Handle the helm, I will be back soon" I said. Leaving the steering wheel under Mad John's care, I walked down from the platform and headed towards Captain Crimson eye and the rest.

For once, I certainly hope that he wasn't here to make me sign the contract again. Although I appreciate his help for the past few days, his neediness makes the whole thing look more suspicious.

"Prince Wyatt, I take it that you will be leaving soon" He asked.

"Yes" I nodded.

"Alright, I came here to give you some supplies" It seems that he got the message, and went straight to the point.

However…

"Supplies?"

"Yes. Although I know that you are already aware of the dreadful Moonlight's ice phenomenon, but there is still more to it that isn't yet known to everybody.

I frowned "Like what?"

"...Sea beasts. Mutated sea beast" He inhaled a breath of fresh air before releasing it tirelessly.

"What do you mean?" I replied as my frown deepened. Somehow, I knew that I wasn't going to like what I was about to hear.

"You see, contrary to others' expectations that the Moonlight's ice freezes everything it touches, however, we have seen and dealt with problems where animals or magical beasts that were encased in ice, suddenly broke free and became something else entirely….".

I used my finger and pressed them against my forehead, slowly massaging it. I certainly didn't like where this was going!

"So you are saying that the Moonlight's ice doesn't only freeze everything it touches, but has also infected some magical beasts which have now transformed into something else entirely? Something that even you, don't know what they are" I summarized.

"Yes" He nodded.

"Excuse my rudeness, but why wasn't I told of this before? I asked while staring directly at him.

Just by looking at his eyes, I could tell by the mischievous glint in them that this was intentional.

Yet, he sighed dramatically "I wanted to let you know, but after you rejected my offer, I felt saddened and might have forgotten to let you know about it".

The fucker knew what he was doing!!

However, there was nothing I could do. At least, I should be grateful that he let me know about it now instead of letting me blindly sail into the precarious waters.

"Alright. So what are these supplies? Are they meant to help us get past them?"

"Yes. More importantly, they are meant to help you repel them in case they are to attack your ship. And since you will only be able to come across only one or two of these mutated beasts, I packed the number of supplies that you will be needing" He replied. And then proceeded to clap his hands twice.

And soon after, a dozen men each carrying two big wooden boxes, stacked up against each other walked into my ship, laid the boxes and then returned to their ship.

"And these are?" I questioned.

"There are bombs"

"Bombs?"

"Yes, bombs. Like fire squelches water, these creatures that have been infected by the ice properties of the moonlight's ice are also, somehow weak against heat. And since these bombs are water resistant, meaning that you can drench them in water and they would still have the capability to explode and are also able to completely raze over two pirate ships, the firepower should be enough to let you arrive safely and return back And also, there are extras in case of some unexpected event"

Wow!!! Why do I feel like some prodigal son leaving his father's house o journey into the world?

Well, with all these things and advice he had given me, I might as well be one.

Looking at him, I didn't bother to hide the suspicious glint in my eyes "I would be lying if I say that all these things aren't okay. Are you really giving me all these things without expecting anything in return?".

If anything is too good to be through, then it might as well be a lie.

He smiled "Although, you ejected my offer, that doesn't mean that I have any bad blood towards you. And besides, one of my most valuable crewmen will be joining you on your journey from now on, so it is only reasonable that this is the least I could do" He replied.

Turning to the side just in time, I could see Annabelle squirming with a smile on her face. Interesting!!

Rearranging back my thoughts to the situation at hand, I saw no need to refuse them even if he had assured me that they were no hidden cost, an answer which I doubted.

But still, if his claims were true, then there was no need to look at a horse's gift in its mouth.

"Very well then, thank you so much for the gifts. If I ever come across the chance where I can repay you, I will do so" I responded. One good deed deserves another.

And even though I was overly cautious about my life, I knew not to take certain things for granted.

"Hold on a minute" My attention was called once more just when I was about to turn around.

My brows rose.

"Just give me a minute. It will be here soon" Captain Crimson eye responded. He then turned to look back as though he was patiently waiting for something.

A minute passed, and just when I was about to walk away, four men carrying several loads of large rope made their way into my vision.

They stepped forward and dropped the ropes among the explosives.

"You can tie these ropes tightly around the boxes, and drop the boxes into the sea while tieing them separately around your ship. Doing so will enable you to easily light the explosive from a distance" Captain Crimson said, clearing up the confusion in my head.

Oh!! So they are like a detonating cord!

"Are they also water resistant?" I asked, curiously. In fact, this was the first time, I have seen an invention from this world that somehow resembles those from earth. So I would be lying if I said, that I wasn't at least curious.

"Yes, they are?".

Hmmm!! I know that I am not supposed to, but I feel like testing this out immediately. Hopefully, we don't come across those mutated beasts!

Yes. Yes, you are right. I am trying to set up a red flag.

"Ahem!! Okay, since that is all, we will be taking our leave. Maybe I will see you again in a few weeks.... Or months" He added while looking at the damaged vessel I called my ship.

I nodded my head. And he also nodded back in response.

Without wasting any of each other's time, we both turned around and left. Annabelle followed behind me while Captain Crimson eye and his remaining crewmen returned to their ship.

"May I know where I will be staying Captain?" Annabelle asked, keeping her chest trunk which was full of her things on the wooden floor.

"Wait here, Mad John will show you to your room" I replied, before walking towards the helm.

Signalling for Mad John's attention, I didn't slow down my steps and only stopped when he was right in front of me.

"Yes Captain"

"Show Annabelle where she would be staying" I responded. And watched as he hesitated before he sighed in defeat ad walked slowly towards her.

Hmm!! Somehow I feel like Mad John may be developing some kind of repulsion towards ascendants. Well, that's if my observation of his current behaviour is correct.

Nonetheless, it was time to stir the ship towards its destination.

Holding the helm tightly in my hands, I sucked in a breath of fresh air and slowly breathed out. I screamed "WEIGH ANCHOR"

And within seconds, they replied "AYE CAPTAIN!!".
