Although Ekezias is a legend in the Greek mercenary world, Darius is also not a good person.

Being able to sneak into the Persian emperor Xerxes I to complete the assassination and escape successfully is enough to show Darius's skills.

You know, there were a large number of Persian most elite undead troops next to Xerxes I who were protected by them.

Even with the information provided by the insider, it is not easy to sneak into Xerxes to complete the assassination.

Xin Sheng asked Darius with a smile: "So, our cooperation agreement has been initially reached?"

Darius took back his sword and nodded: "Our hiding point is about to be exposed, so we can't stay here anymore."

"Instead of sitting there and waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative to attack and let go."

Years of exile made Darius unwilling to trust others easily. He looked at Xin Sheng's eyes and had not completely relaxed his warning.

"I can't trust you completely yet, but I thank you for the Godly intelligence you provided to us."

"I will go to Bootia in person to assassinate Ekezias, while Nima will go to Attica to assassinate the 'master'."

"After verifying the authenticity of your intelligence, we will talk about further cooperation."

Xin Sheng expressed his understanding of Darius's alert: "Yes, I have to go out to sea next time. I will go to Opas Port in Roccoris in a month. I hope you can completely let go of your doubts about me by then."

...

After being sent out of the tomb with apologetic expression, Xin Sheng rode on Pegas to gallop towards the peninsula in southern Macedonia.

Although he has not yet fully gained Darius' trust, Xin Sheng believes that he will let go of his guard sooner or later. After all, the information he told Darius was not false at all.

Roccoris is the most important salt-producing land in Greece, located on the north shore of Lake Copes, and is very close to Bootia.

Not far east of Rocqueris is Greece's second largest island, Uberia. Among other translations, there is also an Evia Island.

The salt that Xin Sheng brought from the main space was almost used up, and he didn't want to spend energy to realize it through the system, so he planned to go to Rocqueris to buy some locally produced high-quality salt.

Due to the huge gap in production technology, the coarse salt produced in ancient Greece is definitely not as good as the modern refined salt that is found in the system.

After living in the world of Odyssey for several months, Xin Sheng has gradually become accustomed to life in this era.

It would be nice to eat salt without consuming system energy. It would be too picky to live in this era with very primitive living conditions.

Salt is an important ingredient in maintaining human survival.

Long-term failure to eat salt can lead to neurasthenia, physical weakness, and further affect gastric acid secretion, leading to symptoms such as decreased appetite, anorexia, nausea and vomiting, muscle cramps and rapid heart rate.

After entering the ancient world of Odyssey, Xin Sheng could not bring any modern condiments, but he could not lack salt.

When Xinsheng arrived at the port of the southern peninsula of Macedonia, the Adristiya had already been completely reorganized at the dock.

Barnabas is a honest man. After meeting and hugging Xin Sheng, he plans to return the remaining Drakema of the refurbished ship to Xin Sheng.

"No, you can keep it."

Xin Sheng pushed the wallet back to Barnabas: "The Adristiya sailed on the sea and was inevitably hit by wind and rain, and daily maintenance would cost a lot of money."

"You save the money first and upgrade her combat effectiveness bit by bit. In the near future, we will still deal with pirates in the Aegean Sea."

In naval battles in this era, long-range attacks mainly rely on bows and arrows, and short spears are used to project in medium distances, and finally hand-to-hand combat.

The Adristia was not originally designed for combat, and the bow was not even installed in the corners of the warship.

Including the installation of hull armor, the purchase of bows and arrows and short spears, the total amount of money required is not a small amount.

The destination has been confirmed, and the newly renovated Adristiya is more flexible and easy to operate than before.

Under the energetic order of Barnabas, Adristia turned his head and sailed to the southward island of Uberia.

I don’t know if it was Xin Sheng’s illusion, but he always felt that the navigation speed of the Adristiya had improved.

"It's not an illusion, it's a fact."

Barnabas, who was steering, had a smile on his face: "The old sails before Adristiya have already begun to leak air, and the oars used for emergency acceleration are also damaged."

"With the new sails and oars, the starting speed and maximum navigation speed have been significantly improved."

"It's all thanks to Drakma, Captain."

"captain?"

Xin Sheng waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I am at most half of the ship owner. You should be the captain. I know nothing about sailing."

"Hahaha!"

Barnabas smiled generously and said, "If you are interested, I can teach you my years of sailing experience."

Xin Sheng already owns half of the ownership of the Adristiya, and it is impossible to say that he is not interested in his own ship.

Xin Sheng used to be just a busy social animal, and he had no chance to sail in the blue sea so freely.

Under the encouragement of Barnabas, the first mate Kegan and others, Xin Sheng took the rudder from Barnabas.

"Be careful, work harder, it's not easy to steer."

Confirming that Xin Sheng was holding the rudder steadily, Barnabas completely let go of his hand and handed the rudder to Xin Sheng to control it.

"It's okay when the wind is calm. Once you encounter bad weather, the surging wind and waves will let you see the cruel side of the sea, and the rudder will become more difficult to control at that time."

Xin Sheng, who has been shooting for a long time, has a strong hand in his hand. Although the rudder feels a little hard, it is not too difficult to control the direction after getting used to it.

"At any time, please pay attention to the report of the Lookouter. Whether there are reefs on the sailing route and whether they will intersect with other ships' routes, the Lookouter will report to you one by one."

Xin Sheng had only driven a car before, but he had never touched a big guy like a boat, and it was quite interesting to play.

"I finally ended up talking loudly until why sailors who make life at sea like to speak loudly!"

After the high-speed expedition ship Adristiya enters full speed, the whizzing wind will hinder the spread of sound to a certain extent.

Barnabas laughed and patted Xin Sheng on the shoulder: "Haha! A real sea man is the one who has a loud voice! In addition, you also need to learn to drink a lot!"

Unfortunately, the port on the southern peninsula of Macedonia is too close to Uberia Island, and it only took a short sail to get close to the destination.

Barnabas was not at ease to let Xin Sheng, a novice, control the ship to the port.

After taking the rudder, the old captain skillfully steered and directed the sailors to get off the sail, and finally steadily docked the ship on the dock.

One point is not more, one point is not less.

Uberia Island is roughly divided into three regions, namely Cape Artemis in the north, Mount Dirphis in the middle, and Mount Ochi in the southeast.

The port where the Adristiya stops is located in the west of the Dirfis Mountain, the capital city of Kalkis.

Barnabas received a shipping order at the Macedonian port, and the delivery location happened to be in Kalkis, which was a small profit.

Xin Sheng led Pegas from the boat. This guy had very good physical fitness and was very adaptable to the sea. There was no seasickness that Xin Sheng was worried about.

"Barnabas, I will stay on the island for about twenty days. During this period, you can move freely, rest on the spot, or go out to go to business and earn some money."

"Okay, leave it to me to arrange it."

Barnabas waved to Xin Sheng with a hearty look and reminded loudly: "Be careful! Legendary animals are not that easy to deal with!"

Xin Sheng responded with a smile: "Take good care of yourself! Don't get drunk in the barrel!"

Because it is an island floating outside the land, the total number of residents in Kalkis City is not large.

It is not convenient to ride a horse in a densely populated area of ​​the city. Xin Sheng led Pegas to stroll in the downtown area, and Dahuang followed his master happily, while Daedalus was a regular flight to the sky to investigate.

"Go away! The Governor passed by!"

A group of soldiers wearing typical Spartan armor pushed all the citizens away and escorted a Spartan general riding a horse to sway across the city.

Xin Sheng imitated the citizens around him and lowered his head slightly to show respect, but he never left the general wearing painted gold leather armor from the corner of his eyes.

‘That’s…’

Noting the helmet-like pattern carved on the golden patent leather armor of the Spartan general, Xin Sheng recalled the allusion that Cassandra accidentally mentioned when chatting with him.

‘The symbol of the Spartan royal family?’

Considering the Spartan traitor king who couldn't remember his name, Xin Sheng subconsciously felt a hint of suspicion.
