The captain was smoking a cigarette. He looked at Lu Yuan and said slowly, “Ge Li...”

“I do know which direction he’s at...”

“But...”

After saying that, the ship’s captain gestured to Lu Yuan with his hand, asking for money.

Lu Yuan immediately understood what the captain meant and asked, “How much do you want?”

The ship’s captain stretched out his hand and said, “Five gold coins!”

“Five gold coins? Isn’t that daylight robbery?” Lu Yuan was furious. The ship’s captain was obviously treating him like a fool.

Although the Lu Yuan was not lacking in money currently, but he was... No, he was still very unhappy to be treated like a fool by these non-player characters in the game.

On the other hand, the ship’s captain declared proudly, “The information is worth this much. It’s up to you if you want to buy it or not!”

Lu Yuan had no choice but to take out five gold coins and give it to the captain. If Lu Yuan had been in the Chaotic City, the ship’s captain would have long been killed!

After receiving the gold coins, the captain smiled and said to Lu Yuan at once, “Ge Li and the others are heading southwest. There are a few small islands there. They should be there.”

After hearing the news, Lu Yuan immediately spread the demon wings on his back and flew into the sky, heading southwest at a high speed!

Soon, Lu Yuan saw a few small islands. There were a few people on them!

These should be Ge Li and the others. Lu Yuan immediately dived towards the small islands and landed in front of Ge Li.

Lu Yuan asked, “Who is Ge Li?”

Right then, a middle-aged man with average appearance stepped forward and said, “I am Ge Li. And you... you are?”

[ System Notification: Mission Progress Updated, looking for Ge Li – Completed! ]

Lu Yuan looked at Ge Li. He did not seem compatible with the lady boss of the Tavern at all!

“Did he have some outstanding characteristics?” Lu Yuan thought. “What could his strengths be?”

Then, Lu Yuan said slowly, “You don’t need to know who I am. You only need to know that I’m here to save you!”

Lu Yuan took out a rune shield and surrounded the few of them. Then, he lifted them up and suspended himself in the air. Lu Yuan instantly spread out his demonic wings on his back!

He took Ge Li and the others and left this place!

Soon, Lu Yuan brought the group back to the Eternal Sea Tavern!

Seeing that her husband had returned safely, the lady boss rushed up immediately and hugged Ge Li tightly.

The lady boss asked Ge Li, “Why did you leave for such a long time? I’ve been so worried about you over the last few days!”

Ge Li hugged the lady boss and said, “We met a sea demon out at sea. Our clothes were ruined during the battle, and we were trapped on the Southwest Island for several days.”

“But fortunately, this hero saved us!” Ge Li pointed at Lu Yuan.

At this time, the lady boss turned around and said to Lu Yuan, “Thank you so much!”

“Please wait for a while!” The lady boss turned around and walked back into the tavern.

Not long after, the lady boss came out with a jar of fine wine and declared, “This is the best wine in our tavern. It is also from my personal collection of wine, and I treasure it very much.”

“I don’t have much else to repay you for your kindness, so I hope you can accept this.”

[ Congratulations on completing the Mission allocated by the lady boss of Eternal Sea Tavern – finding Ge Li ]

[ Gained 2500EXP, gained 15 reputation points, gained 50 gold coins. Gained 200 favour points from the lady boss. Obtained 1 bottle of the lady boss’ treasured wine! ]

After receiving the bottle wine, Lu Yuan bid farewell to the lady boss and headed directly to a small wooden house in the west.

In the little thatched hut, a dishevelled old man with soiled clothes was lying on a straw bed, drinking wine.

A ray of sunlight shone into the hut from the window. The sunlight fell on the old man’s face. Only then could one see the dejected look on the old man’s face clearly.

It turned out that the old man’s legs were already gone, so he could only lie on the bed drinking wine all day long.

Other than the wine, there was only this ray of sunlight that shone into the house at this hour every day to accompany the old man.

The old man raised the jug of wine and poured it into his mouth. As he swallowed the very last drop, the old man muttered to himself, “There’s no more wine. Where is that fellow Baz? Why isn’t he here yet?”

The old man was the previous Eternal Sea Guardian. During the battle with the leader of the Whale Shark Clan, his legs were cut off. After that, the old man had become completely disillusioned and dispirited!

Baz was the old man’s successor as the new Eternal Sea Guardian, and would bring wine to the old man regularly.

But this time, Baz seemed to have been occupied elsewhere and did not show up.

And although Baz did not come, Lu Yuan did.

Lu Yuan entered the small thatched house and opened the bottle of wine that the lady boss gave him!].

Instantly, the fragrance of the wine filled the room!

The old man nearly began to drool!

But he still questioned Lu Yuan, “Who are you?”

Lu Yuan replied patiently, “My name Lu Yuan. I’m here because I want to learn from you. I’ve heard that you were once the Eternal Sea Guardian.”

After the old man heard what Lu Yuan had to say, his expression instantly darkened. The old man said slowly, “A cripple like me can’t teach you. You should find a true Eternal Sea Guardian to guide you!”

Lu Yuan said to the old man, “If anyone wants to become a student of the Eternal Sea Guardian, they must have a recommendation letter. I don’t have one!”

Lu Yuan brought the wine right in front of the old man. He took his time and said, “Unless... you can help me write a recommendation letter...”

The old man sniffed hard. He questioned Lu Yuan. “What wine is this? Why is it so fragrant?”

Lu Yuan took the wine and answered, “This is a good wine that the lady boss of Eternal Sea Tavern has treasured for many years. There is only one jar in the entire Eternal Sea City!”

“Well, how about this? As long as you write a recommendation letter for me, this jar of fine wine will be yours!”

The old man immediately turned his head away and said deliberately, “Hmph! Who do you think I am?”

Lu Yuan was surprised. When did this old man become so stubborn?

Lu Yuan said, “In that case, I will have to leave with this jar of fine wine.”

That being said, Lu Yuan carried the jar of fine wine and walked out of the door.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to step out of the door, the old man suddenly said, “Bring me a brush and ink!”

Lu Yuan immediately stopped, then took out a brush and ink and gave it to the old man.

Soon, the old man finished writing the recommendation letter and handed it to Lu Yuan.

Then, Lu Yuan passed the jar of fine wine to the old man. After the old man received the wine, he picked it up right away and began drinking it straight from the jar.

After Lu Yuan received the recommendation letter, he was not in a hurry to look for Baz, the current Eternal Sea Guardian. Instead, Lu Yun first went to look for a general in the city-guarding army of the Eternal Sea City, and told the general that he wanted to join the city-guarding army.

If Lu Yuan went to look for Baz right away, his chances of success would be slim even if he had the recommendation letter.

However, joining the city-guarding army of the Eternal Sea City would make Baz look upon Lu Yuan more favorably.

Soon, Lu Yuan arrived at the barracks!

This wasn’t normally the time where new soldiers were recruited. Therefore, Lu Yuan planned to use gold coins to bribe the general!
