1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King-Chapter 191 - 191 Isu City (1)

191 Isu City (1)

“You’re saying that you encountered the mist phantom of Crown, the flagship of the Myriad Flags Fleet?”

After the High Elf officer asked about the situation, his tense poker face suddenly cracked into a smile.

It was a mocking smile filled with mild arrogance. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

Without a doubt, he didn’t believe Hobbs and the others.

Ava State, also known as the Nation of Mist, had never been invaded by outsiders before entering the Mortal Age. The thick mist that enveloped Ava State was a significant contributor.

The mist that originated from the Primordial Souls blocked the sight and interference of all foreign deities. Until magic was widely promoted in the Platinum Calendar, any faction that entered the mist would completely lose its advantage in extraordinary strength. On the other hand, the afterimages of past events—the phenomenon called the Mist Spirit—were also a natural barrier.

Ships sailing in the region might encounter ghosts long passed when the mist spread. Of course, whether they encountered them or not depended on luck.

It was considered lucky to encounter merchant and passenger ships that had sunk in the Shattered Sea from storms. If one encountered pirates who had once died in this area, there was a danger of their ships being destroyed and everyone dying. As for the destroyed Riel Empire’s expeditionary fleet in the Wandering Battle, they were theoretically the most terrifying Mist Spirits one could encounter.

Especially the empire’s flagship named the Crown. According to the records in Ava State’s archives, the empire’s emperor who led the expedition back then was killed by Governor Remides. Then, his spirit lingered on the ship and constantly replayed the scene of his last battle before his death—of course, the Riel Empire had disavowed the claim to this day. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

If one was discovered by the mist phantom on the Crown, no one could escape from the other party unless they were a powerhouse at the governor’s level, much less save three lives.

However, if the person in front of him was really a powerhouse at that level, was there a need for him to personally come here to do smuggling?

Due to the good upbringing of the High Elves, the elven officer didn’t mock William. He said to William, “I suppose you won’t mind showing us the way for the goods inspection?”

Although he was making a request, his tone carried a hint of command.

William didn’t want to cause too much trouble before meeting Remides, so he nodded.

The Ava State’s governance remained unclear. Before figuring out the situation, there was no need to have a conflict over such a trivial matter.

William walked towards the elven officer. The moment he left, Diana, who had been standing behind him, was exposed to the elven officer. William saw the elven officer’s pupils constrict and his mouth open slightly as if he wanted to say something.

The officer ultimately turned around and walked towards the cabin.

William fell silent for two seconds before quickly following him.

The two of them walked down the deck one after another and entered the cabin.

The cabin’s walkway was already a little narrow, so it was a little short for the tall High Elves. The other party had to bend slightly to advance. As he walked, he asked, “You hired this ship?”

“That’s right,” William maintained a safe distance from the other party and replied.

William didn’t let her follow him before he left his room to avoid unnecessary trouble since the methods the faeries used to hide were useless against High Elves.

“I just heard from the captain that you’re not planning on closing this deal through his connections, the Windsongs. Instead, you plan on selling this ship’s goods individually. Why?” the other party continued asking.

“I have some connections of my own,” William replied frankly.

He was telling the truth.

“Oh? Where? Clockwork City, Pine City, or Rocky City?”

Although the other party had his back facing him, William habitually shook his head and replied, “Moonlaw City I guess.”

The elven officer stopped in the narrow corridor. He turned around with difficulty and looked at William solemnly.

“Moonlaw City has never done business with people from the empire. This is a rule set by the governor. Whom do you want to make a deal with on this trip? Which family? Please tell me the other party’s last name.”

William tilted his head and replied helplessly, “It’s not a family, but a Ranger.”

“A Ranger that returned?”

The expression on the other party’s face softened a little. Over the years, despite the storm’s blockade, there were still High Elves who yearned for the outside world. They would travel to the Vic Continent on smuggling ships as Rangers. Ava State officials even chose to deploy Rangers to establish an intelligence network to constantly understand the Riel Empire’s military movements.

This included intelligence that the imperial navy was amassing a force at Swan Port and Greenwater Port. Most of it was sent back by lone Rangers.
