Located in the gap between the wooden barrels at the bottom cabin, the flat and dense sand layer suddenly squirmed violently, as if something was about to drill out from underneath.

As the disturbance of the sand layer intensified, a female figure slowly stood up from inside. The mysterious woman Yasha, who had been missing for many days, looked at Luo Zhengdao with a smile, and she said softly:

"Don't be proud, do you think you can catch me this way?"

During the conversation, Yasha's body began to shake and disintegrate strangely. First, the facial features on her face shifted, and then her body seemed to melt with heat. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a large number of black beetles. These small things in groups crawled towards the drainage holes in the warship cabin, and then disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the pirates all showed a look of horror on their faces. Even in the new world of magic and swords, it is not common people who have the chance to see this situation. The pirates are all men of the sea who dare to fight against the wind and waves. They are not afraid of bloody battles with real swords and guns. However, this kind of thing that is almost evil is too unpredictable. Seeing the whole process of Yasha's easy escape from the siege, Luo Zhengdao's expression seemed much calmer. As a time traveler, the world he had seen was much bigger than that of ordinary sailors. If it were to be said to be mysterious and changeable, Yasha's move to transform into a worm is probably not as good as the magic card master's variety.

After calming down, Luo Zhengdao touched his chin and thought of another thing: "Well, is this a clone technique? Or is it a trick? Or, in other words, these bugs are your body? Yasha!"

The search operation failed to successfully capture the spy Yasha who infiltrated the Yangwei sabotage as expected, and at least prevented the other party from lurking and carrying out other sabotage activities. Then Luo Zhengdao had to think about how to deal with the mysterious illusion world outside that was so troubled that it was powerless. When he returned to the deck of the battleship, the news of his awakening had already spread on the ship. Many sailors on duty came over to see the captain like visiting rare animals. Those people with relatively low status were content to see Luo Zhengdao through the crowd. Only a few crew members with higher status were qualified to express their greetings to the Count.

"It's great that you can recover, Count."

The two mage consultants who accompanied the boat smiled and expressed their loyalty to Luo Zhengdao. If they had the opportunity to go further on their career path, they would naturally not waste their limited energy and time on dealing with noble masters. Since they had made this life choice, they often had to deliberately show some attitude in front of others. Although everyone may not need to do this in private, things like etiquette are to be plainly used for others to see.

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao smiled and greeted the two consultants for a while, and soon he said seriously:

"Well, have you achieved further results in your analysis of the illusion during my illness?"

"Yes, please see."

Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao took the parchment paper in surprise, and finished reading the paper with conjecture and guessing, and said in surprise:

"What, is that simple thing?"

"Yes, Lord Earl. We thought things too complicated at the beginning. This illusion was virtualized by optical imaging, which was enough to deceive our visual senses. In fact, using the guides to select a general direction and continuously sailed in a straight line, we could escape the coverage of this illusion."

“…virtual images…optical imaging…paralyzed, isn’t this a movie?”

Luo Zhengdao, who was embarrassed and godly, finally understood the analysis reports issued by the two mage consultants. He also knew that after so many days, the whole boat was frightened and unable to sleep at night, which was equivalent to being invited to watch a 3D blockbuster for free. He was really amused and crying about this conclusion. Even if he could not directly interfere in the main material world, the methods of the gods were really incredible!

After contemplation, Luo Zhengdao regained his usual impressing calmness and said with a smile:

"Very good, find out the reason, hurry up and head to the Yaling Empire! We have been delaying too much time on the road, and I don't want to delay it anymore."

"Of course, everything is as you wish."

......................................................................................................................................

The pirate warship Yangwei once again crossed the seven seas to the Storm Sea. It went through the same twists and turns as the previous voyage. During the voyage, it encountered various unpredictable dangerous events. Fortunately, after crossing the dark sea full of crisis, the rest of the journey suddenly became smooth, as if it had consumed all its bad luck in the first half of the voyage of Luo Zhengdao. It could even be described as dull as water to describe these leisure days without any unexpected situations. Apart from experiencing the famous storm waves in the Storm Sea, Yangwei had no more important events worth mentioning in the navigation log.

After a journey of ten thousand miles and a total of four and a half months, Luo Zhengdao and his party set foot on the direct territory of the Yaling Empire.

Since the soul of his predecessor Will Nidham had long dissipated invisible during the inheritance ceremony of the Magic Card Master, his memory was not inherited by Luo Zhengdao. What was the human light dynasty in its heyday? He had passed by someone and was wandering in a wandering life. Luo Zhengdao had no idea about the peaceful scene of the new world.

This metropolis of Zelan, which belongs to the Yaling Empire, is far away from the noisy wars and cruel killings. It is the closest frontal example of the old world city that Luo Zhengdao has seen since he traveled to the New World. After getting off the boat, he walked along the way, and there were various handicraft workshops, bars, theaters, bathrooms and other public buildings. The rows of houses made the whole city look crowded.

Although there seems to be some shortcomings in urban planning, the neat city of Zelan City still impressed the tidy city of Zelan City. The white stone slab streets washed regularly with clean water look extremely clean. The street lights, garbage cans and other municipal facilities on both sides of the road are also complete, and wooden benches appearing hundreds of meters apart for passers-by to take a nap. The pedestrians walking on Zelan Street are all relaxed and gentle in their steps, and their words and demeanors are filled with the relaxed rhythm of leisurely life. They are completely different from what Luo Zhengdao saw in other parts of the New World, those human exiles who were in panic all day long and would be so nervous that they could jump up immediately when they heard the sound of a needle falling to the ground.

Luo Zhengdao has a low understanding of the Yaling Empire. Just from these glimpses and appearances, he can also feel the prosperous atmosphere of the Yaling Empire. This is by no means a face project that is embellished by artificially whitewashed.

Accompanied by the Zelan authorities, Luo Zhengdao and his party arrived at the Governor General's residence in a carriage. As soon as the two sides met, the officials of the Governor's Office who came to greet him said to Luo Zhengdao enthusiastically:

"I am very honored to receive His Earl's visit to our country. The Governor has set up a dinner party in the banquet hall. Now there is still some time before the banquet begins. Does the Earl need to wash and change clothes?"

The nobles must wear formal dresses when attending the formal banquet. Luo Zhengdao was temporarily instructed by a half-elf beauty on the road. At this moment, he showed ease and bowed back the gift and said:

"Okay, I will attend the banquet of His Excellency the Governor on time, and say goodbye for the time being!"

Hearing the sound, the Yaling official, who was full of scholarly demeanor, said with a respectful respect:

"I hope that the Earl's Excellency can be as happy as in our country as in our hometown, see you at night."

After saying that, another Yaling official came forward and led Luo Zhengdao and others to the hotel where they were temporarily resting. At this time, there were still a few hours before sunset. It was not a serious way to wait for the guests!

According to the administrative divisions of the Yaling Empire, it does not include overseas colonies and special administrative regions. The empire's local total is divided into twelve major regions, with a large city as the center, and each has its own administrative divisions. The highest administrative and military chief in each region is the governor, and their actual status is only under the prime minister and the ministers of the cabinet. If according to the principle of social status, the governors of these Yaling Empire may not all have the title of aristocratic, but their identities are by no means lower than any hereditary nobleman.

In order to welcome the arrival of Luo Zhengdao, a human exiled nobleman, this trip, Governor Zelan held a special welcome dinner, proving that the Yaling Empire was extremely enthusiastic about recruiting this agent, and even treated Luo Zhengdao with extraordinary courtesy.

The one-eyed dragon Fol Chopin, who was accompanying him, was not interested in Yaling's attitude. As soon as he entered the hotel room, he turned around and closed the door and spoke:

"Sir Earl, you need to take your female companion to the dinner. Ms. Dubov's health is fine, right?"

Luo Zhengdao had already confirmed that the Yaling Empire would fight the goblins to the end. He was not worried that the other party would give up cooperating with him. He smiled lightly and said:

"Hahaha, relax. Teacher Vina has already prepared clothes and jewelry, so there will be no surprises."

Hearing the sound, Fore Chopin glared at the intact eye and glanced at the room, saying cautiously:

"That's good, please be sure to pay attention to safety. The goblins' bounty is very tempting to those crazy bounty hunters, and those bastards can do anything for money."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao still disobeyed and waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, Yaling is very nervous about my safety issues. If you don't believe it, you will know it just by looking out the window."

Hearing Luo Zhengdao's words, Fore Chopin opened the corner of the curtain with suspicion and looked out. Sure enough, in the elegant courtyard with green grass and flowers, many of them appeared in the elegant courtyard, as many as wild flowers dotted on the prairie, and a whole team of elite cavalry riding solid-colored war horses patrolled the block where the hotel was located. You can still see light artillery traces in the hidden places. This scene is three steps and five steps are not an exaggeration. Under such a strong guard, assassins can still be killed by assassins to kill Luo Zhengdao. Unless a demigod-level monster is attacked, a legend may not dare to reach out when encountering such a big formation. This is a head-on collision with the state machine of the Yaling Empire. This confidence is not something that ordinary people can have.
