Time Travel: Age of Discovery

At this time, a subordinate beside him reported to the man: "Lord Spandine, there is a message for you."

Spandane took it with a frown, his expression suddenly changed, and he nodded in agreement, obviously fearing the person on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Spandine's expression became even more gloomy, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Finally, there is some movement."

......

Teya donned a veil, changed into a simple cloth dress, and rubbed two jade-like beads in her hands as she surveyed a group of bandits who were wreaking havoc on the island, leading to a bounty of 250,000 berries on their leader.

Teya passed by here and saw the reward notice, so he went straight to the door.

It wasn't that he was a coward, it was simply that he was short of money. For Teya now, catching a pirate worth hundreds of millions was like a game, but these 250,000 berries were enough to get him out of this predicament, and pirates with high bounties were more likely to attract attention.

He was disguised as a bounty hunter, which was fine for other things, but if he was discovered by the navy, he would be in big trouble. After all, when he registered as a pirate hunter, the navy stationed there had examined him for a long time.

Seeing that Teya broke into the thieves' den alone, the bandits did not believe that he could win (after all, they were outnumbered), but they did not dare to take it lightly.

"Hey, what are you doing here? If you want to join, pay 50,000 berries first, otherwise I will kill you without mercy."

The bandits thought they were very heroic, but to Teya it was just funny.

Teya scratched his ears and replied calmly, "I'm looking for you precisely because I'm short of money. Don't even think about joining us. I'll just hand you over to the navy for the bounty."

The bandit leader was startled, then burst into laughter, and his followers also laughed.

"Just because..."

Before he could finish his words, the bandit leader's vision went dark and he collapsed to the ground. Everyone was silent for a moment, all in shock.

They didn't see when Teya took action to subdue the boss.

Teya looked at the others, murderous intent emanating from beneath his mask. The minions sensed the killing intent, and Teya shouted loudly.

"Who else?"

"Escape!"

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts, and soon only Teya and the fallen bandit leader were left. Teya did not chase after them, but instead grabbed the bandit leader by the collar and carried him like a dead pig to the nearest naval base.

Teya had not expected that these bandits would give up their banditry out of fear afterwards, and many of them would return to farmland, thus abandoning evil and turning to good.

"Bandit leader, the reward is 250,000, minus 50,000 in taxes, that's 200,000."

"Hmm? What tax?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I have the final say here! Get out of here!"

A thin navy man handed the money to Teya and then kicked him out. His face showed that he had been drained by alcohol and sex.

Teya did not argue, as this was commonplace here.

On the shores of the vast East China Sea, Teya sighed softly, looking back at the important naval base, and couldn't help but sigh, "The imperial power in the world is so far away and unattainable. This is truly terrifying."

Teya came here solely to explore the secrets of the East Sea, but she stumbled upon this incident, leaving a vivid memory. However, as the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Currently, the Navy Headquarters is in turmoil. Haguvar D. Sauro, former Vice Admiral, has secretly released O'Hara scholar Nicole Olivia, allowing her to escape. A bounty has been issued for his capture.

"This matter is of grave importance and involves significant consequences. The CP organization must coordinate its actions." General Kong surveyed the elite naval forces standing guard in the conference room and said in a deep voice, "This operation will be led by General Zhan Guo."

Meanwhile, in CP9's secret room, Spandain said, "The Navy has cleaned up its own shame. We only need to arrest the woman and investigate the rumored research. This is the order of the Five Elders."

The difference is that at the same moment, Sora and Spandine said in the same accent, "Run to O'Hara!"

......

A few days later, Golden Lion severed his own legs, his escape shocking the world. He left behind only the words, "No one can imprison the Sky Pirates; these legs are a gift." Upon hearing this, Teya, dispatched by Sengoku, embarked on a covert mission aboard a warship. "The curtain of time has risen," Teya gazed upon the vast ocean, knowing the road ahead would be a difficult one, the future uncertain.

Deep within the West Sea lies O'Hara Island. This place is a renowned archaeological sanctuary, home to the world's greatest scholars, both ancient and modern. The island's massive tree is the Tree of All-Knowing, boasting the world's richest collection of books. Beyond the scholars, the small town is inhabited by ordinary people.

Beneath a tree, a young girl in old clothes clutched a scroll, her face filled with loss. "Why won't Grandpa Doctor allow me to study ancient history?" Nicole Robin, eight years old and a master of archaeology, was already well-versed in history. Robin was fascinated by the research of Dr. Cloba and other scholars and longed to join them. However, no matter how much she pleaded, Dr. Cloba refused, leaving Robin deeply troubled.

Walking through the streets, children shunned her, and adults ignored her. Robin had grown accustomed to this, and though she occasionally felt sad, she remained resilient. However, she was still just a child. "Monster!" the children screamed, throwing things at her, and no one stopped them. With tears in her eyes, Robin ran away from the laughter and toward the sea.

At the beach, Robin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little less oppressive. She had no friends her own age on the island, her only companions being scholars and books. Lately, she'd made a new friend. Five days earlier, she'd encountered him by chance on the beach. Though a giant, he was witty and friendly, with a unique laugh that always made her smile. Thinking of the giant, Robin's lips curved slightly as she headed towards the beach. This place was sparsely populated, and Robin often read there, undisturbed. It was there that she'd discovered the fallen giant on the reef.

At that moment, the giant was cooking fish. Seeing Robin arrive, he warmly invited her to eat with him. Robin, living at her relatives' house, had little food to eat, and only here with the giant could she fill her stomach. She put her book aside, took the giant's grilled fish, and devoured it with relish. Here, she could relax; she always felt nervous about eating at her relatives' house, fearing punishment.

"Robin, you've looked so worried lately. What's worrying you?" The giant's words startled Robin. He put down the fish and forced a smile. "Sauro, I'm fine. I'm doing fine." Sauro looked at Robin, shook his head, and smiled. "Hey, hehe, I'm glad you're fine. By the way, any news?" "Hey, I forgot to tell you. I passed the exam and became a doctor of archaeology," Robin announced happily. Sauro's face changed slightly. "Oh, that's something to celebrate." Robin, not noticing anything unusual, said proudly, "I've finally become an archaeologist, pursuing history like my parents."
