Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

The port city of Temple Harbor is also known as the "City of Sailors" and the "City of Elves". The former is because it is the entrance to the Sea of ​​Misty Sea and the most famous port in the southern part of the continent. 70% of the permanent population are sailors and people doing maritime business.

The latter name is because this place was once the capital of the elven kingdom of Temple.

In the background information of the game, after the Elf King Alfred was defeated by the gods, his descendants fled here with their people and survived for about forty years. Finally, they could not withstand the attack of the human army and fled to the depths of the Misty Sea with countless treasures of the elves. This is also one of the most famous treasures in the sea, known as the treasure of the Temple Kingdom.

Zhou Ning had seen the description of this treasure in the simulation of "War of the Gods". The lucky clover that he felt was neither tasty nor worth throwing away was obtained by the Pirate King Zhou Ning from this treasure.

Since the faith of this port city is mainly based on the Church of Poseidon, as mentioned before, Poseidon not only rules the sea and ocean currents, but is also the patron saint of sailors, socialites and prostitutes.

So, the nightlife at Temple Harbor had just begun. When Zhou Ning packed up his belongings and left the cabin, preparing to descend to the port, the deck was already filled with people preparing to disembark. Due to the formal identity verification required to enter the port, the wait was a bit long.

At this time, Richie Burke also walked out of the cabin and walked to Zhou Ning's side. Looking at the bright lights and feasting in Temple Harbor, he chuckled and said, "Are you going down tonight too? Do you want to go to the red light district together? I sneaked here a few times when I was a pirate. The girls here are particularly charming when they play the priestesses of the Church of Poseidon. But their acting is so real, sometimes so sacred, that I often worry that they are really priestesses of Poseidon, recognize me as a pirate, and arrest me in bed."

If Richie Burke really fell into the French net with his bare bottom, he would probably become famous in the pirate circle immediately and could start a new life on another planet.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but want to laugh. He shook his head expressionlessly and said, "I have other plans tonight."

While getting off the boat, he saw the two men in black who were suspected to be bodyguards. They were surrounding a fat middle-aged gentleman and seemed to be getting off the boat as well.

He was wearing a red coat, and his golden hair was neatly combed back. Zhou Ning noticed that he was wearing a huge emerald on his finger, which seemed to be an unknown space-related artifact.

Zhou Ning didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he opened the forum while waiting and browsed the results of today's professional league.

There were three rounds of competition in total during these two days. Almost all of the wolfhound teams that he had high hopes for passed, with the exception of XB, who fell in the fourth round and was easily defeated by a knight. Jinse, Shuidi Chenxing and Zhufeng Lei's Fury all passed smoothly.

Among them, Jinse defeated another popular player of the Star Moon Club, Moon Star, who has the ability of the Mammoth Fruit, in the fifth round, once again proving her strength.

In addition to them, several other favorites, including a big wave of heat and super blue cat, passed the first round easily. Players from all walks of life showed their skills in the qualifiers. The huge base finally eliminated 64% to 3%. After a few rounds of competition, they will enter the tense and exciting top and start the BO competition.

As the quality of matches gradually improved, the Roaming Gunner's win rate finally dropped, but it still held the top spot with a 61.8% win rate. Zhou Ning also shared in the buzz.

At this moment, Zhou Ning discovered that Richie Burke behind him had frozen in place, his expression slightly solemn.

His eyes were looking somewhere in the harbor.

Zhou Ning turned his head to look at him, his eyes expressing doubt, meaning: "What's wrong?"

"I think I saw the sea serpent Steinbeck..."

"He is the second mate on the ship of General Wind."

"General of the Wind?" Zhou Ning couldn't help but frowned slightly. Although it was rare for a pirate general to enter such an important port, he did not rule out the possibility that he came for this extraordinary gathering.

Zhou Ning followed the crowd along the side of the ship into the port, and inevitably met a few local players. After seeing Zhou Ning, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and then swarmed up.

Soon, a post titled "Wayne Stewell appears in Temple Harbor" appeared on the forum, and the post quickly became very popular.

This place is an intermediate area, and most players have already changed their jobs, so they mainly buy a few general skills. It didn't take long for Zhou Ning to deal with several players and found a bar called "Old Fighting Rat" along the sign.

This is a typical sailor-style naming method with a strong sense of dry humor. There is a notice board outside the bar. In addition to the notice of ships recruiting sailors, there are also densely packed bounty notices.

The most prominent bounty was 60 Victa for Valentine, the Northern Pirate Emperor, known as "Weather Lord." Next in line were bounties ranging from 10 to 30 for the Three Kings and the Five Great Pirate Generals. Below that were bounties for ordinary pirates and pirate leaders, and so on. In an obscure corner, Zhou Ning also spotted Richie Burke's bounty, a whopping 500 Victa, comparable to a reindeer.

"Heh." Zhou Ning chuckled and shook his head, pushing the door open and entering the bar. This was Temple Harbor's most famous gathering place for adventurers and sailors. He planned to make preparations in advance and gather intelligence on any super-class creatures. If tonight's hunting didn't go well, there would still be a chance to make amends.

Suddenly a wave of heat hit me in the face.

In the most conspicuous place, there was a high arena, about 8 feet wide and 10 feet long, surrounded by railings. Two marmots were fighting each other on it, pushing and shoving each other. A large group of sailors were cheering them on from below. A large amount of money was placed on two plates below the arena. Around them, many people dressed as adventurers were whispering and exchanging various rumors in low voices.

"Come on! Gary, bite it to death!"

"Tom, you're the best!"

Zhou Ning was not very interested in this kind of project. After looking around, his eyes stopped at a middle-aged man in the corner who was wearing a pirate hat and had black sideburns.

It is unknown how such pirates managed to sneak into the heavily guarded Temple Harbor.

Through his observation Haki, he could sense that his strength was at least above the super level, but it could not pose any threat to him at the moment.

Next to him sat a few sailors who looked tough and had a strong aura, and it seemed that their identities were not simple.

At this moment, Zhou Ning saw a sailor push open the bar door and walk in, whispering in the middle-aged man's ear:

"My lord...someone saw King Lavidus's flagship appear at Grant Island to the east and anchor there. His destination may be Temple Harbor."

"Why is Saroyan here?" The middle-aged man frowned. "Let's go. Let's go back to the sea and wait. If anything happens, we'll leave here immediately."

"What are you looking at?" Noticing Zhou Ning's gaze, a sailor next to him slapped the table hard and stood up, but was frightened by Zhou Ning's raised head and a dull look, so he sat back in his chair, still in shock. Even the middle-aged man was intimidated by the pressure, and held on to the table with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

Zhou Ning's 20% deterrent to pirates, plus the % additional bonus from the title of the First Emperor, ordinary pirates simply cannot withstand a glance from Zhou Ning.

King of Lavidus?

Zhou Ning ignored the sailor who was standing there in a daze, and ignored the slightly fearful look of the middle-aged man opposite him. He frowned. He didn't expect that he had just heard this name yesterday, and it appeared near him today. Could it be that his protagonist halo was working?

To be honest, Zhou Ning instinctively didn't want to meet the King of Lavidus. This sea demigod must have some hidden tricks up his sleeve.

Even though he had a trump card, the White Emperor's Arrival card, which was invincible in naval battles, victory was not guaranteed. Reality was not a game, and sometimes reason must prevail over madness.

At this time, the middle-aged pirate opposite put down his glass and stood up. As he passed by Zhou Ning, he gave him a deep look, then opened the door and walked out with a few pirates.

What are you looking at? Zhou Ning almost wanted to say this famous line from his past life, but considering his own personality, he continued to while away some time in the bar.

To be honest, the wine here is very good, because the famous wine-making island Christatia is not far to the west of here. Fresh champagne is shipped here every day and then shipped to various parts of the mainland.

The Isla Cresta champagne I had at Brown Lambert, which has a small chance of increasing its spirit properties, is just the right price here.

Zhou Ning took off the ring and drank 3 or 4 cups in a row. He got the +1 mental power reward as he wished, but stopped after just a sip.

But unfortunately, he did not hear any useful information during this period. The adventurers here seemed to prefer those illusory treasures and ignore the dangers in the sea. The only valuable information was somewhat ambiguous. Someone saw the shadow of a sea monster in the waters southwest of Temple Port.

But the problem is, there are many sea monsters in the ocean, and what he wants to find is a super-class sea monster!

Zhou Ning shook his head slightly, took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was almost 10:40.

He put down his glass, walked out of the bar, and returned to the port, quietly looking at the brightly lit dock. If he summoned the ghost ship at this time, it would surely be seen by many people.

Through his observation Haki, he could sense that there was no one around him and no one noticed him.

He thought for a moment, switched to the Dark Knight Zhou Ning's costume in the fashion interface, and selected the equipment.

In just a moment, Zhou Ning put on a set of pitch-black armor, a black mask that only revealed his mouth and jaw, a black battle suit with a bat painted on his chest, and a jagged black cloak on his back that fluttered in the wind, making him look like a giant bat in the dark night.

The hunt is about to begin.
