.Along with the bitter cold wind, the dark and heavy night gradually faded, the sky gradually turned into ink blue, and then changed from ink blue to beautiful blue. In a blink of an eye, the crimson dawn suddenly appeared at the intersection of water and sky, and thousands of golden lights dyed the undulating sea surface a layer of charming rouge red...

On the sea shining with dawn, a pure white ship with graceful lines rose and fell with the gentle waves, accompanied by the hovering seagulls, advancing rapidly towards the northeast. The edge of the top platform of the cab with a thin layer of ice, the morning sea breeze was wrapped in thick water, blowing on Feli's slightly thin cheeks, making him tremble all over. He had to shrink himself into a ball as much as possible so that the body wrapped in his coat could warm up.

"Hiss---It's so cold, fortunately, it didn't snow today."

At this moment, he was holding a monocular lens in his hand, staring nervously at the blue-black barren mountains on the edge of the sky, and the port city covered with snow closer...

"The waterway is in good condition, and there is no ice near the port!"

After hearing the excited report from the observer, Feili finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and rubbed her frozen fingers, and issued an order to enter the port with amplified magic.

"Show the signal rocket to Arctic Port and ask for a water diverter! We're back home!"

"Long live! Go home!"

"We're back!"

This long-awaited good news made the entire ship instantly shrouded in joy. People rushed to the deck regardless of the biting cold, looking at the shadow of the land still far away, cheering and even singing songs in various languages.

Nearly a month of ocean voyage, the crew of the Xiangrui land rookie were extremely eager to return to the embrace of the land. Not to mention anything else, just for the abominable poor food and damn overload work, it was enough to make the lazy magicians complain. Perhaps only when you go to the land can you sleep in, have a good meal, and let people relax completely!

Azhisha and her last few members also walked out of the cabin and looked at the cheerful crowds of people shouting enviously. They could finally go home, but what about their own people? Not only is their home thousands of miles away, but whether they exist now has become unknown. Whether they can bring back reinforcements this time or whether they can still get the reinforcements after getting them. They are also countless in their hearts.

As the distance approached, the buildings of the port became clearer and clearer, and the crew members' joyful atmosphere became higher and higher. They wanted to jump out of the sea and swim back immediately. Several anxious magicians could not wait to move the broom and circled the deck.

But the cold reality quickly gave them a blow.

"No entry into Hong Kong? What's going on!"

A large group of magicians, both old and young, waved their magic wands angrily, staring at the messengers who had just boarded the ship, all of them reaching the point of anger. Dozens of horrifying gazes with murderous intent made the unlucky young man seem to shrink in circles. He looked around helplessly. After he could not break through the human wall, he simply put his heart on his mind and announced loudly to everyone.

"Yes, this is an order from the Security Command. The Xiangrui is not allowed to enter the port. But crew members can transfer to the boat to get ashore."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another noisy buzz between the magician and the sailor on the ship. It was nothing if you couldn't take a big boat to get ashore. At least half of them could fly over by themselves. But what should I do if the private goods I brought? Use a space ring to transfer it one by one? Not to mention whether there is enough space ring. It's too hard to run back and forth like this!

"Everyone is quiet! They are quiet." Feili roared a few times in a irritable voice, and finally barely lowered the volume of the noise by an order of magnitude. He turned around, stared at the messenger fiercely, and squeezed out a question from his throat.

"We all heard the order you brought the land, but I can't understand what this is going on! I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation!"

"This... you will know after you get ashore. Please change to the transportation boat." The messenger flipped his mouth, but he really couldn't think of what to say, so he simply used the delay tactic. "And all the envoys from the Mazka continent, please go to the city together. The lord has prepared a welcome preparation in the castle." He bowed slightly to Azhisha. Even if he had bowed, "Several VIPs from our country will also attend. Please don't let them wait in a hurry."

In the howling sea breeze, the cold coniferous forests are thundering. The barren mountains extend southeastward as if they want to embrace the bay below, isolate the port from the stormy waves of the sea and create a calm and warm water area. This is the Arctic Port, the northernmost port city of the New Naserel Colony, and now the direct jurisdiction of the Church of Magic Goddess.

Although it has only been taken from the elves for half a year, it has quickly flourished due to its location at the terminal of the northern route, rampant smuggling and re-export trade, and has become a wealthy small town with a population of more than 30,000. When Feili left last time, the market in the Arctic Port was bustling all day long, with thousands of sails huddled in the port, and a prosperous scene. But now...

"What happened? Where did the ship go?"

The newly built wooden trestle two months ago is still filled with the fragrance of pine resin, but the thin layer of snow on it shows that no one has walked through it for a long time. Feili frowned and jumped over the pedal, looked back at the empty harbor, and couldn't help but feel suspicious. Several navigators looked at each other awkwardly, lowering their heads at the same time tacitly, without saying a word.

Seeing that there was no answer, Feili had to continue walking forward. The spacious port area was cold and silent, and it could accommodate nearly a thousand large ships in the bay, with less than ten brigs anchored. And from the flag, most of them were from nearby colonial ports or Arctic ports themselves. As for the ships coming from the local area, there was no one left.

He couldn't help but shake his head. Although he knew in advance that the customs tax collector would scare away a lot of merchants, he didn't expect that he would be so depressed. This... this is even more flexible than mosquito coils to drive away mosquitoes!

Compared to the last time I left, there was an extra stone building like a miniature fortress at the end of the trestle, engraved with the holy emblem of the God of Justice Tyr. Before Feili and others approached, a rapid bell sound came from there. More than a dozen paladins rushed out in full-body armor like iron cans, carrying spears and tower shields, and set up a defensive formation in the direction of the trestle.

Just as Feili and others were confused, a thin middle-aged man walked out of the fortress in a beautiful fur coat, "Hey, everyone over there, stop me! In the name of justice and law, I order you to wait for inspection. And be prepared to pay the tariffs on the ground!"

"Check? Tariff?" Everyone was stunned. A navigator couldn't help but stand up and cursed, "Do you idiot have eyes? This is our Commander Diffiri Taylor, commander of the mysterious firefleet in Arctic Harbor!"

"Insulting the law enforcement officers, fined two copper coins." The middle-aged man didn't raise his head and issued a fine slip and threw it at the foot of the navigator. "According to the order of the superior, in view of the bad behavior of the Arctic Port authorities smuggling and evading taxes in the past few months, I am the customs commissioner. I have the right to impose punitive tariffs here. Anyone who comes ashore from here, regardless of his identity, must undergo customs inspection and pay tariffs!"

He counted the number of people in Feili and his group, and then issued another order. "Each person will enter the territory and pay the money by entering the territory with one silver coin!"

As the customs commissioner said, the paladin behind him also stomped his feet neatly, shaking the trestle bridge. The iron canned martial arts that serve the God of Justice are still unknown, but they are really good at scaring people. Looking at their cold eyes, the navigator who stood out just now turned pale and retreated to the team awkwardly. The old monk Jingshui Youhu was so panicked that he chanted the Buddha's name loudly. Only those members of the delegation who were speechless had no idea what had happened, but just looked at the city in the distance bored.

When he heard that he had only collected two gold coins, he didn't want to be troublesome, and he showed his ID very readily and paid everyone a bag. The penalty navigator glared at the customs commissioner and reluctantly paid the fine - two copper coins were only enough to buy a piece of bread, which was really not worth calculating about this little money.

However, just as they paid the money and planned to leave, a magician in a blue robe suddenly ran out of the fortress. He took something like a mirror in his hand and shouted something in a low voice. The commissioner quickly made a gesture, and the iron can that had just spread out gathered together again into a human wall, blocking Feili and the others back to the pier.

"Sorry, you may have to undergo further inspection. According to the detector's display, you are suspected of evading tariffs by escorting private goods!" The commissioner explained, and then pointed on the heads of Feili, Owo, the female professor and the old monk, "You, you, you, and you! Take out all the space containers on your body!"

Feili's face suddenly became cold--the space pocket on his body contained the treasure worth millions of gold coins, as well as 12 pages of precious Naser scrolls and the letter of the country engraved on the stone slab. If it were displayed casually in such a place, God knew what would happen!

"Mr. Special Commissioner, your hand is too long! You dare to search even diplomatic secrets that concern the safety of the country! Are you not afraid of the Intelligence Bureau causing trouble for you in the future? Besides, I have never heard of any customs in any place that actually checks the things in the space container!" He said with a calm face.

"Mr. Commander, although you have a respectable status, you are not a diplomatic official and are not qualified to enjoy diplomatic immunity." The commissioner replied in a humble and arrogant manner. "In normal times, in view of personal considerations and trust in the personality and character of the magician, the customs does rarely search space containers. But there are too many magicians here. In terms of previous records,... checking your space containers is also out of careful consideration!"

"You are obviously charging randomly!"

"Charge fees? No, as a fair believer, I have always strictly followed the law!" The commissioner shook his finger, "This time, the punitive tariffs are levied. In addition to the determined proportion, the right to interpret the law belongs to the law enforcement officers." He took out an authorization document decorated with the empire's national emblem and pointed to a few lines of small words for Feili to read, "I understand, so please take out all your space containers. Don't worry, I don't mean to steal, I just need to pay 30% of the tariff..."

The right to explain belongs to the law enforcement officers... Feili felt dizzy. Isn't this the best excuse for legal charges? Under this guy's nonsense, he was completely lost in patience. He casually used a detente on him, and then planned to fly over from the air. Unexpectedly, there seemed to be some counter-magic props on the commissioner. He saw that the guy did not show any delay in action. Instead, he quickly flipped back, hid behind the paladin's shield formation, and shouted in angrily.

"Bastard, you are violently resisting taxes! Your behavior is against the law! It is against the government! I warn you in the name of justice, stop resisting immediately and wait for the fall..."
