Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

Looking at the empty coffin in front of him, Rune raised his eyebrows slightly.

It's a really unique teleportation method. I've never seen it before.

However, the colorful crow had signed a contract with himself. Before Rune's "treasure hunting plan" was completed, if the crow deliberately harmed himself or framed himself, it would be punished by death.

So it won't use this method to deceive itself.

"After you go in, relax your body and mind and breathe slowly." Mo Er said, "Just like sleeping."

Rune lay in the coffin, and the smell of rotting wood around him penetrated his nostrils.

This smell is not very bad, but rather has a faint fragrance.

The heavy coffin lid was slowly closed, and the light of the world before my eyes gradually disappeared.

"You only have a month at most over there, so you better hurry up."

The rustling sound of soil covering the coffin lid gradually began to be heard.

The silent white noise fell, and Rune felt himself gradually falling into darkness.

If he relied on his own will, he would be able to resist such a vision.

But he remembered what Mo Er had said, so he simply calmed down and let himself drift in the darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Rune fell into a shallow sleep.

He felt like he was on a ferry, with waves rolling around him.

The sound of wind and rain hitting the iron deck can also be clearly heard.

It was as if the ship had crossed a vast ocean and finally landed safely on shore.

Rune suddenly opened his eyes.

The surroundings were obviously no longer inside the coffin.

He looked around. It was an area of ​​simple stone houses.

The weather was hot and humid. There were some weeds in the house, a kettle and some simple mechanical alchemy tools in front.

Scattered memories began to flood into Rune's mind.

This is the year 1543 in the Imperial calendar, which is more than a hundred years before the year 1654 when Rune was here.

"Chehai Wharf", as the name suggests, is located in the "Chehai" of the five oceans and seven seas.

The water in the Chehai Lake is so clear that one can clearly see hundreds of meters below from the surface, hence the name.

This sea is located right in the middle of the five oceans and seven seas.

To the north of the land is the imperial city.

Therefore, Chehai Wharf is an important channel connecting the imperial city with the five oceans and seven seas.

But in history, Chehai Wharf was not very famous. It was as unknown as many other places.

However, there is one thing that almost everyone in the empire knows.

That is, a disaster occurred at Chehai Wharf in a certain year and month, causing the wharf to be destroyed and damaged.

Later, the empire did not rebuild it, but instead chose another location to build a new dock.

"Chehai Wharf" has completely become history.

The reason why it was "a certain year and a certain month" was because Rune only had a vague understanding of it.

This is quite normal. After all, many major historical events are well known to everyone, but it is difficult to know the exact time.

I'm afraid most people only have a vague understanding of it.

"So, my current identity is a hard laborer at Chehai Wharf."

Rune absorbed the memories in his mind with ease.

He also completely understood that the "teleportation" mentioned by the Colorful Crow and Mo Er was not a simple spatial displacement.

Instead, it traveled through time and space and replaced some of the identities!

These are some surprising methods indeed.

Slightly surprised, Rune continued to recall everything about his current identity.

"I say it's hard labor, but it actually involves some technical skills, and it involves some basic alchemy. I'm usually responsible for basic ship repairs, working under the foreman 'Iman', and my basic salary is 20 silver coins a month."

"The clothes I'm wearing now don't seem to fit me very well."

Rune took a look at the clothes on his body and activated the power of the divine mask.

Soon, the coarse linen clothes, simple decorations, and a face weathered by wind and rain appeared one by one.

Pushing open the wooden door, the salty and humid sea breeze hits you in the face.

There are rows of stone buildings in front of me.

This is the "slum" of Chehai Wharf. Generally speaking, hard laborers and vagrants gather here.

The key reason is that the monthly rent for a house here is only 50 copper coins.

"Hey, Normand, you're awake!"

As soon as Rune walked out of the door, a man as thin as a stick greeted him enthusiastically.

"You're really desperate. You haven't slept for four days! You don't have to work so hard for money!"

"I saw you lying motionless in bed earlier, and I thought you were dead!"

Rune frowned slightly.

It seems that "Normand" is my name.

In order to make money, this predecessor worked frantically for four days and four nights. It seems that this is the reason for the other party's death.

The guy who was talking to him was called "Yade" and he was a co-worker working under the same foreman as him.

We usually have a good relationship.

At this moment, as if affected by some rules, in Yad's eyes, there was no difference between himself and "Normand".

"I'm not going to die, but I'm a little tired." Rune quickly adapted to the identity of "Normand".

"Humph! Who wouldn't be tired with your work intensity?" Yade muttered, as if complaining. "Even if Chehai Port has a lot of new ships coming in because of the 'ghost ship' incident and has a lot more customers, you don't have to work so hard!"

As he spoke, he counted on his fingers, "You can only get 20 to 150 copper coins for repairing a ship, and it takes a lot of time. It's not worth it! This is a jerk. He has many customers and he keeps asking for a lower price. Anyway, I don't want to continue doing this."

"How about you quit, Normand? Let's go on strike together. Without you, their work progress will be greatly delayed. Iman will definitely be anxious to raise our price."

Yad talked a lot, and Rune listened and just shook his head.

It seems that "Normand" is also a miserable person.

It can be seen from the previous things that this guy has mastered some basic alchemy.

With this skill, there is no way he would end up in such a miserable situation.

Still being exploited.

These thoughts flashed through Rune's mind. To him, these things were just "identity supplements" and not absolutely important.

The most important thing at the moment is the "ghost ship" mentioned by Yarde.

"You mentioned the 'ghost ship' just now?" Rune turned his head and looked at Yade.

"That's right! How come you don't know? You're a guy who only knows how to work!" Yade was a talkative person, and when he talked about these gossips, he opened up his chatterbox, "Let me tell you, why our repair shop has been doing so well recently, it's because of the legend of the 'Ghost Ship'!"

"No, it shouldn't be called a legend, it's true!"

"In fact, there was some news about this matter half a year ago, but everyone just treated it as a joke at the time. After all, how could such a horrible thing appear in a sea like the Chehai? Our Chehai has always been synonymous with 'calm' and 'clear'."

"This is the sea area closest to the Emperor. There is no way such a thing could happen."

"But three months ago, something big happened on the Che Sea! An explorer really encountered a ghost ship!"

"From the explorers, we know that the ghost ship is completely black, more than 300 meters long and 70 to 80 meters wide. It is loaded with undead creatures and covered with skulls!"

"Those explorers were attacked by a ghost ship. Later, this incident attracted attention from all sides. A 'Dream Speaker' even went to investigate. It turned out that what the explorers experienced was real."

Yade took a deep breath. "It is rumored that the ghost ship is very powerful. If you can tame it and become its master, then you are destined to become a famous captain in history! Many adventurers heard about this and came to Chehai Port. That's why you have so much work to do."

When Rune heard this, he already had a plan in mind.

When he got the mysterious treasure map before, he had compared it with the world chart of the five oceans and seven seas.

No corresponding location was found.

Now it seems that this sea area was originally "destroyed" and "no longer exists in the future", so it is naturally impossible to find it.

Only someone like the Colorful Crow, who has gone through a lot of history and even met and fought with the Undead, could recognize it at a glance.

Rune thought about it and walked towards the port faster and faster. He just wanted to get to the port as soon as possible and collect some useful information.

With so many ships coming, there's always going to be some information and rumors coming out.

Being a laborer repairing a ship is one of the people who is most likely to be exposed to this information.

Yade followed behind helplessly.

He seemed to be talking freely just now, but in the end, he still had to go to work at the port.

Strikes and the like are just talk.

If you don’t work, how can you make money and how can you eat?

The two walked for more than ten minutes and finally saw the port in sight.

Relying on his memory, Rune could see at a glance that the number of ships docked at the port was indeed three to four times that of the past.

The ships seem a bit crowded here. If the port wasn't big enough, the current number of ships would have exceeded the port's capacity.

"Normand, you, wait for me! You must be exercising at work, right? You can run so fast!"

Rune's speed was too fast, and Yade could not keep up for a while and was panting behind.

Hearing what Yade said, Rune frowned and slowed down.

Indeed, although he had a divine mask, he was very good at disguise.

But we still need to pay attention to the details. How could a hard worker like Normand travel so fast?

Yade, panting with exhaustion, put a hand on Rune's shoulder.

"Haha. If you were to ask me, with your figure, if you dress up, why would you want to repair a boat? Wouldn't it be better to find a noble lady or a rich lady and just live off her?"

"They just like people like you who have endless energy! Repairing a boat for four days and four nights, what a concept! Even the most barren fields can be irrigated by you!"

Rune rolled his eyes. This Yade was really good at complaining.

He deliberately slowed down and walked slowly to the port with Yade.

A fairly impressive shipyard sign hangs in the corner of the port.

There are hundreds of laborers busy in the shipyard now. Ships dock in from time to time, and there is almost no space left.

"Normand! You're finally here, hurry up! We're too busy!"

Iman, the director of the shipyard, had his eyes light up the moment he saw Rune.

It was like seeing a mountain of gold and greetings were given warmly.

As soon as he saw Rune, he came up and grabbed Rune's hand, wanting to lead him to his workstation.

Rune sneered in his heart.

Indeed, a guy who knows a little about alchemy and whose basic monthly salary is only 1,500 copper coins, isn't that just a money printing machine?

However, in order not to arouse suspicion, he did not say much, but just followed Norman and was led by him to the latest docked ship.

This is an old Northrend A-4 cargo ship, meters long and meters wide. It was transformed by the captain into a light warship.

But "old-fashioned" is just the word for Rune. In this era, such ships are already very advanced.

As soon as the boat stopped, Iman came to greet it enthusiastically.

This made Rune a little curious.

After all, although they have not seen top-notch ships on weekdays, they have seen quite a few good ships.

A converted A-4 cargo ship would not evoke such an attitude on the part of Iman.

The only possibility is that the person who came down from the boat was of some unusual identity.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, five young men got off the boat.

Everyone was dressed gorgeously in rich colors - in this era, one could judge a person's noble status entirely by the color of his or her clothes.

"Everyone, please come this way." Iman nodded and bowed, with an extremely flattering look.

There were five young people, three men and two women.

The man had an arrogant and imposing look on his face, while the two girls seemed gentler.

Four of them were very respectful to the girl in purple clothes.

"Normand, what are you looking at?" Yade also came over at this time, looking around in the direction of Rune's eyes, "Hey, those people are quite interesting. They are obviously children of noble families. But then again, in our area, there are too many children of nobles. A brick falling from the upstairs can hit several of them."

As he was speaking, Yiman and a few others slowly walked towards him.

"Hey, don't worry, our ship repair skills are first-class. Do you see the young man in front? He is our professional alchemist, professional!"

"Your boat's condition cannot be repaired anywhere else, but it's easy to fix here!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I can fix it for you within five days. No, three days!"

Iman made earnest promises to several people, completely ignoring the fact that Yade's face had turned dark.

Several noble sons walked up to Rune, then stopped and looked him up and down with disdain.

Then he casually took out a purse from his pocket and said, "If the money for repairing the boat cannot be repaired, return it to me tenfold."

His tone allowed no room for rejection.

Iman opened the purse and took a look. The golden coins inside instantly attracted all his attention.

He licked his lips and said, "Of course! It can be fixed, don't worry!"

Hearing Iman's words, the noble man laughed disdainfully and then walked out with his men.

Rune's eyes moved between the few people imperceptibly.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes met his gaze.

It's the girl in purple.

Rune quickly lowered his gaze.

It’s not because I’m afraid of looking into each other’s eyes.

But it’s because the girl in purple clothes is so shocking.

Even if they are wrapped tightly, their charm cannot be concealed at all.

The girl in purple clothes was about to say something when she was pulled away by her companions.

The few people left in the repair shop looked at each other.

Iman walked up to Rune and patted his shoulder in a fake manner.

"Humph, you finally have a big job to do this time!"

"Do you know who those are?"

"The third son of the Marquis Duan family of the Empire, Belifu, and the fourth son, Rogui."

"Daze, the eldest son of the Marquis of Brena in the Empire, and his sister Dalia."

"And the most beloved youngest daughter of Duke Heiman of the Empire, Melulan."
