"However, rest assured. General Frank has also appointed another fleet commander this time. This other fleet commander is a veteran naval officer, very capable. General Frank appointed him as deputy because of our closer relationship and the greater trust you place in me... This deputy fleet commander is also very capable and a very good person. After the warship formation departs and everything is safe, he will come to pay his respects to you!"

Xiao Ce listened as Jones Snow explained methodically... and he nodded in satisfaction.

"I didn't expect you to be so organized in doing these things. You don't seem like a beginner at all... You must have worked very hard!"

Jones Snow smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "That's right, Brother Ce, isn't it like you said? Learning by doing..."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded at Jones Snow.

"It seems you really did take my words to heart..."

Jones Snow smiled and then invited Xiao Ce into a cabin.

Jones Snow didn't waste any words.

After settling Xiao Ce in, she said to him, "Brother Ce, you should get some rest!"

After watching Jones Snow finish speaking, Xiao Ce left with a smile.

Seeing Jones Snow leave, Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I thought he would stay and flatter you, but I didn't expect him to leave so easily."

Xiao Ce nodded, then said, "That's right. This Jones Jon Snow is a pragmatist. His family used to be from the British Empire... After they were released from prison, they could have easily lived a noble life with Boudica's help... But instead of asking Boudica to help him take revenge, he resolutely came here..."

Yin Pan'er nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "I've heard you mention his experiences. Perhaps only someone like him can truly understand a certain truth..."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "That's true. I was just worried about that. If he keeps bothering me to chat, I can't just ignore him... This is the best way..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said, "Doesn't this just suit your wishes?"

Xiao Ce nodded.

These warships sailed very smoothly, and Xiao Ce was still feeling unwell due to a hangover.

After taking a nap, someone knocked on the door...

Yin Pan'er opened the door; it was Xiao Yue.

Xiaoyue said that Jones Snow had come looking for them, and that he had brought another vice-captain along to meet Xiao Ce...

Xiao Ce was aware of Jones Snow's concerns.

After all, this matter was of great importance, at least in Jones Snow's eyes.

Xiao Ce's position is very important. Although he is the fleet commander, his practical experience is almost zero...

Therefore, the deputy fleet commander was still in charge.

Therefore, Jones Snow still needs Xiao Ce to confirm whether this person is safe.

Although Xiao Ce felt this was unnecessary, he also felt it was still necessary...

Let's take a look.

A short while later, an elderly man with gray hair appeared, but whose posture remained upright.

Xiao Ce had thought that Jones Snow calling the other man an old man was just an adjective, but he never expected that the guy really was quite old.

Jones Snow then turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Ce, this is General Odin, a very senior fleet commander in the Lannister fleet. Even General Lannister Rambo was trained by him..."

Xiao Ce was still somewhat surprised after hearing what Jones Snow said.

Xiao Ce nodded to Jones Snow, and then nodded to the old man.

"General Odin, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you..."

His hair was gray, but he was in excellent spirits.

Odin nodded to Xiao Ce: "Mr. Ce, hello. I've long heard of you, and I thank you for your help. You've given our Lannister Navy a new lease on life..."

When Xiao Ce heard Odin's blunt words, he smiled and said, "This is nothing, just a small favor... But, don't you object to 'colluding' with these pirates and criminals?"

Odin smiled and then said, "Mr. Ce, you are not criminals or so-called pirates... These titles are just fabricated by those in power; it's really just a matter of different factions... Moreover, those people in Lingas belong to the common people, and I think your faction is better... Therefore, I don't think so..."

"Besides, I've seen everything you've done. You guys are far superior to those regular soldiers..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "General Odin, I'll have to trouble you again this time..."

Odin smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Mr. Ce, this is my duty...it's what I should do...and rest assured, with me escorting you, everything here, everything, I'm not bragging, the entire western sea area, the water conditions, is all in my mind, in my belly...to put it arrogantly, the entire west, including General Rambo's abilities, are below my level..."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised to hear Odin say that.

The place I was going to immediately came to mind.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Xiao Ce's lips.

It's no exaggeration to say that he's divinely inspired.

Odin noticed the strange smile playing on Xiao Ce's lips and asked, "Mr. Ce, is there a problem?"

After hearing Odin's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "General Odin, that's true. If you put it that way, then I do have a question I'd like to ask you..."

According to the information they had previously received, Odin, at his age, must have visited the Lost Isle...

Yin Pan'er, who was standing next to Xiao Ce, had already guessed what Xiao Ce meant when she heard him say that.

Yin Pan'er stood beside Xiao Ce without saying anything.

Just then, Xiao Ce said with a smile, "General Odin, yes, I do have something to ask you. I just don't know if you can tell me..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Odin looked surprised and said, "Mr. Ce, what is it you want to ask? Actually, whatever you ask, I have no problem with it... General Rambo also instructed me that whatever your question is, we are required to answer it..."

After hearing Odin's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright, since you have no problem here... then I certainly won't have any problem there either... Have you been to Lost Island?"

Xiao Ce spoke very directly, and Odin was stunned after hearing it.

Seeing that Odin did not answer, Xiao Ce asked Odin, "General Odin, is there a problem with this matter?"

Odin smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "No problem... It's just that I think Mr. Ce, you really know how to ask questions... If you ask someone else, they might not know the answer... but if you ask me, there's definitely no problem..."

After hearing Odin's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Do you know?"

Odin nodded to Xiao Ce, then said to him, "Mr. Ce, that's right. Quite a few people know about Lost Island. People throughout the West have heard of it to some extent."

As Odin spoke, he glanced at Jon Snow standing to the side.

Jon Snow saw Odin's face looking at him and nodded to Odin, before Odin could ask a question.

Jones Snow spoke first, saying, "Yes, I've heard about it too..."

Xiao Ce continued to look at Odin without interrupting.

Odin smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "Moreover, I'm not just someone who's heard of Lost Island, but someone who's actually logged on there. And someone who's explored the entire island..."

Upon hearing Odin's words, Xiao Ce's smile widened even further.

"Oh? You actually went up there?"

Odin nodded to Xiao Ce and then said, "That's right, I've been there. So, Mr. Ce, this time, you're not going to the Roman Empire? But to the Lost Island?"

After hearing Odin's words, Xiao Ce smiled first, and then did not deny them.

He simply smiled at Odin and then said, "Indeed! However, my Roman Empire will go... and also to the Lost Island... of course, the ultimate goal is to reach the Lost Island..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Odin's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

Then she said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, don't... don't go..."

After hearing Odin's words, Xiao Ce looked at Odin with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"

Odin said to Xiao Ce with a serious expression, "Mr. Ce, although I don't know why you want to go to Lost Island, in our Western world, Lost Island has always been a cursed place."

"It's because thick fog has been rising from the sea in recent years that many people consider that area forbidden. However, before, those who entered the Lost Land would have their minds affected; there were always strange sound waves emanating from that island, and skeletons were everywhere..."

"Especially at one point, a series of very strange and eerie sounds would emanate. With each sound, it felt like everyone's eardrums were about to burst, and the birds in the forest would go mad, rushing towards a humanoid statue on Lost Island... ultimately crashing to their deaths on the mountain... I witnessed this firsthand; all the creatures on the mountain seemed to have gone berserk... At that time, among our group, perhaps I was lucky, but more than half of us went insane on the spot... They said they saw a god..."

"Because I have a very keen sense of direction, and this sharp, strange sound didn't affect me, I led my people away... However, Lost Island is a primeval forest, and you can see nothing but bones, some of them human... and some of them animals... Especially that mountain on Lost Island, it can be described as a mountain of bones..."

"Moreover, every evening, a very eerie red glow forms over the island... making the entire sky extremely strange. It's a cursed place... Before the mist appeared, it was alright... but now that the mist has appeared, entering is as difficult as ascending to heaven..."

Xiao Ce could tell that Odin was genuinely afraid to listen to him. It was obvious that this matter had happened decades ago, but even now, thinking about it filled him with fear!
