Chapter 430 Unknown way forward

Violence is always the most direct and effective way to solve problems

Xia Lan expected that the crew of the Oke would inevitably cause an uproar when they heard the change of their courses to go to Monterres. You should know that these sailors who dared to face the sea and ventured to the sea were on the verge of danger anytime and anywhere. The vast sea was unpredictable. Sometimes a storm might ruthlessly take their lives. Therefore, they were more strong and unyielding than ordinary people in terms of temperament. He did not know whether Prous's prestige could make these unruly crew members obey their orders. After sensing the movements on the deck, he decided to come forward to suppress them. △

"Of course, on the way to Monteres, I can guarantee your life and pay another heavy commission." Xia Lan looked indifferently at the crew members in front of her and stretched out her hand, then saw countless golden coins in his hands falling on the deck, and in a blink of an eye it piled up into a small hill.

“And it’s just an advance payment.”

After saying this, Xia Lan turned around and walked back to the cabin and disappeared.

The ship always needs someone to control it. If these crew members would rather die than surrender, could Xia Lan really kill them? Faced with such a situation, one can achieve his ideal result with both kindness and power and strength.

Xia Lan didn't walk far in the boat porch when he saw Winnie staggeringly.

"If it were your past, you wouldn't be so troublesome. You might as well kill someone to establish your authority first."

Her eyes fell on Xia Lan, her face seemed to be smiling. Of course she heard the movement of the outside deck of the cabin just now, but she didn't expect Xia Lan's handling method to be somewhat beyond her expectations.

"Where are you going?" Xia Lan looked at her and answered the question.

"Of course I want to bask in the sun after being held in the cabin for a long time! What? Do you want to deprive me of my freedom to bask in the sun?" Winnie said in a silence.

Xia Lan nodded and ignored her and passed by her directly.

Winnie looked at his departure back. The smile on her face became stronger, and there was an indescribable weirdness.

When he returned to the cabin, Adrina was not seen inside, and Xia Lan didn't care because he had asked her to take care of Magnison earlier and sent a bottle of cure potion to solve his condition.

Sitting on the bed, Xia Lan closed her eyes and began to adjust and check her physical condition.

The broken arms had healed. After he woke up, he did not relax the intensity of his arms. However, the results were not ideal. It was difficult to meet the qualified standards in his heart without a year or two.

Due to the severe erosion of the dark power, Xia Lan's injuries were still not light, and the degree of healing was far less than that of the alchemy hands. However, he was not anxious because he was sure to recover completely before arriving in Monteres, but he was just unable to fight violently during this period, and there was no problem in other aspects.

However, even if he recovers his health, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. It is easy to deal with ordinary superiors, but when facing superior peaks, there is no way to do anything, even if he uses [Bloodthirsty Furious] to offset the weakening of his body. His fragile hands have become the key weakness that affects his strength, so before he has enough strength to protect himself, he can only rely on Adrina's protection.

He does not have the pretentious mentality of an ordinary man. Being protected by a woman is not a psychological burden. There is no distinction between men and women in his world, only the level of strength.

Instead of caring about these useless things, it is better to think about the serious problems they will face in the future.

Adrina's destruction of Port Louis was undoubtedly a loud slap in the face of the Glory Church. The branch center of her own parish was destroyed by others. What face do they have to face the world? Therefore, the Glory Church would never give up. He could even think of the scene where the other party dispatched elite troops to chase them all over the mainland.

If she only faced the Holy Temple of Glory, Xia Lan had considerable confidence to get rid of them, but the problem was that their enemy was not just the Holy Temple of Glory. Not to mention that Adelina devoured the relics that had been pursued for many years, the heinous crimes that destroyed Port Louis and shocked the mainland were enough to bring countless indignant patriots to join the pursuit of them.

What Xia Lan is most worried about is the attack of the arbitration balance.

Although the arbitration balance is not well-known and unknown in the secular world of the Elderland Continent, Xia Lan knows more than anyone else how terrifying the arbitration balance contains. The arbitrator with the weakest strength within the arbitration balance has the strength of the law realm, not to mention the deliberators and judges above the arbitrators. Just thinking about it makes people feel numb and chill.

Although he can exchange his own safety by abandoning Adrina, can he bear the power in Adrina's body?

No! He is reluctant to let it go! So until he gets Adrina's power, he will never hand over Adrina to anyone!

It is easy for him to leave Winnie and Magnison's lives because they can provide themselves with enough value to use.

In terms of how to disappear from trouble, the wise props made by the alchemist are essential, such as disguise, transformation, breathing, etc.; on the other hand, he needs to deeply understand the power in Adelina's body from those who are familiar with the human body, so as to lay the foundation for seizing this power.

He didn't expect Winnie and Magnison to help him sincerely. He didn't understand alchemy, so he almost secretly was murdered by Magnison when he was in the underground laboratory. In order to prevent this problem, he left Winnie's life with the purpose of letting her, a person familiar with alchemy, be an experimental subject. Of course, Magnison's fate is the same.

Mutual supervision measures cannot completely ensure safety. After all, Winnie is far inferior to Magnison in alchemy. Once Magnison secretly makes trouble in some refinements, it is difficult for Winnie to detect it, but if she doesn't want to die, she must do her best to study and understand.

As for whether the two of them would join forces to assassinate him, Xia Lan did think about this problem, so he had already made countermeasures in advance. Why did he change his course to Monterres? Some of the reasons are.

Monteres is indeed very bad in the impression of outsiders. The cruel and barbaric pirates deliberately shelter the criminals of other countries, the mixed environment of fish and dragons, and all kinds of bad deeds are deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, if you don't go deep into Monteres, you will find it hard to imagine the real situation here.

In fact, the order within Monteres is very strict. It is your business if you want to make trouble outside Monteres, but in Monteres, if there is a crime, the government will never be ruthless in punishing it. It is this tough governance method that has gradually led Monteres to prosperity and stability. Merchants can trade with confidence, criminals can turn their minds and become human beings again, and pirates can be without any scruples. From a certain perspective, Monteres has indeed achieved freedom and peace.

Many criminals who defect to Monteres' life are of many industry leaders, blacksmiths who are furious and murderous, teachers who promote heretics, alchemists who violate alchemy taboos, and fallen knights who are apostate, they do not have to worry about coming to their door, because Monteres's government is their strong backing, especially Monteres' master, Blistov's grandson Augsger is an amazingly powerful ruler. If you want to provoke Monteres' order, you must first pass this level.

Xialan chose Monteres as his destination because he was interested in this. He would not stay in Monteres for a long time because Monteres could not shelter the crimes committed by Adrina. As a stronghold for preparations for the escape plan, there was no problem.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps from far to near interrupted Xia Lan's thoughts. After a while, the wooden door was pushed open, and Adrina walked in with a plate of food. When she saw Xia Lan on the bed, she immediately smiled and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia Lan, are you hungry? I specially prepared some food for you. By the way, why didn't I see Miss Winnie?"

Adrina brought the dining plate to the small table next to Xia Lan and glanced at the room.

"She went out to bask in the sun."

Xia Lan looked at the food on the plate. The most conspicuous thing was a large bowl of fragrant broth.

"I just happened to be a little hungry, let's have a meal together."
