I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 298 Ocean-going Ship [Deep Sea Blue Whale - Wilton Tins]

The two headed towards the gathering point of the Bounty Hunter Association.

The sound of the voyage whistle gradually sounded.

The rustling sea breeze carried the fallen leaves on the street on a winter evening, rolling on the side of the street.

Soon after, the roaring sound of the carnival team's racing cars filled the road where the two passed.

Waves pounded against an unfamiliar coastline, and a chilly sea breeze blew through the cold steel fortress of the border port forged by the Night Watch.

Su Wen looked out from the estuary of Detroit.

The towering, icy black stone fortress stood on the endless coast.

The huge ship that was about to set sail was anchored in the surging steam mist.

he said calmly.

"That should be the first stop of our journey to the Lost Sea."

And above the cold steel port fortress of Detroit.

The extremely solemn guards from the Night's Watch have long been standing there. They have been guarding the entrance to the Lost Sea as border watchers.

The perspective is zoomed in.

The top floor of the fortress.

A guard wearing a black uniform with silver edges and a wave and dagger emblem on his chest quickly ran up the stairs.

Then he said to the burly middle-aged police inspector who was standing at the front of the mirror wall of the fortress and holding a cigar:

“Mr. Sheriff.

Captain Jerome was ready to untie the last few chains that tied the 'Wiltings' to the mooring posts at the Detroit dock.

He decided to meet with you before leaving."

Following behind the watchman was an old captain with a smile on his face.

He shook hands with Sheriff Redilgas and said:

"It seems.

If I set out a quarter or half a quarter of an hour earlier.

I probably won't be able to meet the Night's Watch Executor anymore.

What a coincidence.

Redilgas.

How is the health of my former first mate, your father, lately?"

Redilgas, the Sheriff of the Thirteenth Archon of the North American Night Watch, held a cigar in his mouth and shook hands with the old captain who was about to set sail:
He responded with a smile and said to his elder:
“Thank you for your regards.

My father actually wanted to go sailing a few days ago, but he still needed rehabilitation work and was unable to participate in this exploration of the Lost Sea.

As for New York.

The seven ships of the North American Night Watch had all set sail in the past few days.

Next it's time for the bounty hunter to go out.

Captain Jerome, I wish you a safe trip."

Hear Redilgas's blessing in a hoarse voice.

The old captain, who looked even older than the great navigator [Captain of the Circumnavigator] Spring-Far, smiled proudly and replied:
“For sailors, conquering the unknown ocean amidst storms and waves is our ideal.

As for the ending.

Come back alive.

or.

There are only two possibilities: sinking to the bottom of the sea forever and living with the fish.

Except for the first mate, the second mate and those brave sailors who followed me all the time.

I hope the bounty hunters you select are equally trustworthy."

“The first batch of entrants were all recommended by the association.

But from my personal perspective:
Captain Jerome, sometimes you may not need to worry so much."

Redilgas gave the old captain the highest level of decision-making power with a very cold and rational conclusion.

After all, from his perspective:

Even with recommendations from the Bounty Hunters Association, it is difficult to rule out the possibility that there are invisible cultists or sociopaths among the passengers.

After gaining extraordinary powers, his mentality becomes unbalanced and he causes a large-scale disaster.

As the sheriff, he knew of too many similar cases since the origin century.

Of course, no one else could hear this conversation.

Along with the roar of the steam engine of the huge steel ocean-going ship [Deep Sea Blue Whale - Wilton Tins], thick white smoke gushed out from the steam outlet, casting a thick curtain over the deep night.

This is the signal that the main drive of the Veltins is warming up.

Simultaneously.

This signal also indicates that it is time for everyone to board the ship.

Captain Jerome and the sheriff bumped fists in a manly way and said goodbye and left.

He had been a crew member on the same ship as Sheriff Redilgas's father, but growing older did not mean he had to leave the sea that had carried him all his life.

in contrast.

Four years since the origin, Jerome Defoe was promoted to a third-level extraordinary person during his last journey to explore the Lost Sea [Sublimation Lineage: Wave Rider]

That's why the Bounty Hunter Association chose this old captain who once served in the US Navy as the explorer this time.

Simultaneously.

This information can also be found in the [Great Wall of Despair] forum.

After confirming these things, Su Wen also communicated with the white hound Fern.

now.

Looking at the tight defense of Detroit [Lost Sea Border: Cold Steel Port].

While he and Jiang Menghan were queuing up to check their identities before entering the [Deep Sea Blue Whale - Wilton Tins], they were also communicating through the 'Dawn System':

"The United States Federation's attention to this incident actually exceeded my expectations."

"You mean the specifications are a bit too high?"

“After the first seven Night Watch Explorer ships departed from the New York route of the Kemde Mine in the Lost Sea, the Port of Detroit could also receive the personal attention of Sheriff Redilgas.

If we follow the United States Federation’s thinking, there may be a zero-sum game, and the island of the Lost Sea Base is the key to exploration.

Then the auxiliary exploration of Detroit's first route should not have received so much attention.

if we assume:
The Night Watch has a target that must be found on the first route.

According to the usually domineering and greedy character of those US federal congressmen.

There’s no way they’re going to give bounty hunters a share of the pie.”

Think of this.

Su Wen's face showed a hint of rational smile.

"unless.

Wall Street needs to specifically send some people with 'not so reasonable' identities on board. "

The Iceberg Girl was very smart. She answered in a cold voice:
"Just like us, right?"

“Yes, recommended by the Bounty Hunter Association.

this statement.

There should be plenty of room for maneuver.”

He put on his black hat calmly and gently and adjusted his collar, just like a true European gentleman.

then.

The handsome gentleman slowly took out the ticket and identification card that the white hound Fern had handed to him from his jacket pocket.

The night watchman in charge of identity authentication put his and Jiang Menghan's identity tokens into the scanning machine.

Just at this moment, Captain Jerome came out of the conference hall in Cold Steel Port and walked to the boarding gate.

When he saw the two of them, the old captain whispered to the first mate who was helping to check their identities:

“They were both recommended by Farr.

Remember to take care of it for me."

then.

The old captain turned and walked away as if nothing had happened.

But Su Wen glanced over there casually.

then.

The gentleman quietly withdrew his gaze.

Only the calm and elegant smile remained on her face.
