The gentle sea breeze blew across Modo Port, and the sound of waves slashing the reefs came from afar.

People came and went in the port, and merchant ships loaded with cargo were docked near the port. Occasionally, teams of fully armed guards patrolled by without expression. When the merchants saw it, they couldn't help but let the road open in awe. Occasionally, they could see the legendary drow elves here, but they were not as evil as in the story. They just looked a little cold and seemed to ignore everyone. These drow elves enforced their law strictly, and the means used to bribe other guards seemed to have little effect on them.

Stephen Hogg jumped off the deck, touched his wallet after landing, and then looked at the Taolang Tavern on the south side of the port.

This is a tavern run by the Priest of the Sea Temple.

On the other side of the dock is the more luxuriously decorated Golden Crown Hotel, which is the best consumer finance cave in Modo, with the most expensive wine and the most beautiful maid. However, Stephen is just an ordinary pirate. He can't afford to spend money in that kind of place, that is, he occasionally drinks a few glasses of rum at the Taolang Tavern. He is now a family member, so he naturally needs to be more careful, so after thinking about it, he still turns around and walks towards Modo City.

"Let's forget it."

Stephen lowered his head and muttered, rejecting his companion who invited him to the tavern to have fun all night. While returning to his station, he thought to himself: "Now is the time to use money, and the money I saved is enough for 300 Jindler."

"Enough to buy a piece of land in the city."

"I heard that mainland China is not very safe recently, so I will take her and the child over after a while."

Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Stephen's face.

He is not young anymore.

He is 35 years old this year, and he is considered a relatively old among pirates. As a human, Stephen felt that his physical and energy were not as good as before. Although he has the strength of the second level and has a lot of combat experience, after all, time is unforgiving, and people cannot avoid aging when they reach middle age. This is the same as an advanced professional. In the last final battle with the pirate king Asrold, Stephen was stabbed in the abdomen and bleeding a lot at that time. Although he has recovered now, he has a little secret injury after all.

Stephen drifted on the sea very early.

So many years of life-and-death battles have already made him feel tired. So he planned to apply to join the city guard after handing over this mission.

Change to a stable job.

In Stephen's not short pirate career, he has followed many pirate leaders, but no one has ever made him full of hope for the future like Lord Sauron.

order.

Everything in Modo Port is well organized. Because there is a strict order here, and although the law has not been fully established, the rules set by Your Excellency Sauron have been strictly enforced. Anyone who challenges the rules will be ruthlessly crushed. Stephen has never seen any pirate leader in years who can control the rebellious pirates like Your Excellency Sauron. Although some of the processes are bloody and cruel, it is only a small problem.

As long as they get used to the order set by His Excellency Sauron, they will find that life is not as bad as it used to be.

Don't worry about being stolen and thrown at a stinky ditch after getting drunk, or you don't worry about wealth falling into the hands of others after fighting to the death.

The effort should be rewarded.

Any job in Modo can support yourself, even the most humble slaves, who can gain freedom because of hard work and live a good life in Modo City.

What reason does Stephen have not believed that he would have a better future than those slaves who had gained freedom?

"The money is almost enough."

There is a stone-paved road leading directly to Modo City, and the neat roads are repaired every once in a while. Stephen has not received much education, so slightly complicated calculations are a bit troublesome for him. Although he is spending money to learn words and arithmetic recently, unfortunately, Stephen has been a little difficult to learn because of his age. So much so that he now has to count on his fingers while rushing to the road: "With the contribution I have made in the past, I should be able to buy the land south of Modo City at the best price."

"You can buy almost fifteen acres of land?" (Note: The size is equivalent to that of acre, and one acre is equal to about 6 acres now.)

"These lands have been reclaimed by slaves. Judging from the growth of the land, there should be a good harvest this year. After buying the land, spend some money to buy two slaves from the shipwreck bay to cultivate them. Even if you are old, you can live a good life."

"When I get the title deed, I will take her and the children over."

"Then spend some money to ask the pastor to hold a wedding. Haha!"

A little silly smile appeared on Stephen's face. The scar on his left face, which made the scar look quite ferocious, softer, and it didn't look so scary.

He has a good appearance.

The serpentine used to be a shipwreck in the bay. Her husband used to be a sailor, but unfortunately she died in a shipwreck. After her husband died, she raised her two children alone. Unfortunately, it was too difficult for a woman to raise two half-year-old children. Finally, she made up her mind and hooked up half-closed the door, relying on the flesh-and-skinned business to support the two children. Then she met Stephen, a pirate who looked fierce but treated her extremely gentle.

After scrapping a drunk who did not pay for a woman after sleeping, Stephen got along with her.

That was a very gentle woman.

He doesn't look very beautiful, speaks a little softly, and is still twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He has a thick waist, fair skin, a gentle personality, good at housework, and can clean the room clean, and has a big butt. He is obviously a woman who can give birth to a woman. As for the fact that he has been in a flesh-and-skinned business, Stephen doesn't care so much. A woman who can make up for this kind of business to support her children can only make him feel awe-inspiring.

He is nothing more than a pirate.

It is a bit too much to say that it is full of blood, but there are definitely many people who die under him.

There are damn guys and innocent people.

Occasionally he would go to the temple to confess his sins, and once he even cried like a child in her arms.

Maybe he is getting softer as he gets older.

This time he went to the shipwreck Bay to escort goods. Stephen met a half-year-old thief. If he had gone in the past, he would have killed one of the child's hands. However, this time he saw the child's face and skinny face, he couldn't help but think of the two children he liked. Not only did he let the thief go, he also threw a few silver delle to him.

Because life is difficult and it is a half-closed door. The older one among the two good-looking kids also had a sneaky act back then.

The thirteen-year-old child now has only eight fingers.

Stephen is tired.

He is no longer young, and he will be forty in a few years.

When a man reaches forty years old, he can only rely on rich experience in fighting, and he wants to change to a more stable life.

There is a woman.

There is a group of lively children.

A stable job. A stable home.

After so many years of wandering on the sea, he has tempered him into a real man. He can fight bravely without fear of death during battle, but this does not mean that he hopes to live a life of no protection every day.

He is a little different from other pirates. Maybe he will become eager for all this when others reach his age.

……………………

The gate of Modo City appeared in front of it.

Stephen couldn't help but speed up and rushed towards his station. He had his own house. Although it was just a small brick and tile house, it was the property he had fought for with his life. However, most of the time he stayed at the station because the house was empty, so it was better to be at the station and wait for the woman to be taken over. He was considering moving in.

“The furniture needs to be purchased too.”

Stephen was thinking so much, not knowing what he thought of, and his face showed an expression that men knew. "Hehe. There are three rooms. Maybe he should buy a larger bed."

At this time.

A noise came from the gate of Modo.

Then I saw a large-sized pterosaur crawling out. It was much bigger than a bull. It was wrapped with a rope around its neck, and it seemed to be led by someone, but it was blocked and could not be seen. The pterosaur walked forward arrogantly, without looking at the guards around. After leaving the city gate, he couldn't wait to slam the dragon's wings and blew up the dust in the sky.

"Okay! OK!"

"Xiao Hei stop making trouble! Let you go out to play now!"

A crisp childish voice came from behind, although there was still no one to see. However, Stephen couldn't help but express his expression, and quickly leaned over and knelt down on one knee and said, "Miss!"

This is Modo's treasure.

The status of Modo is similar to that of the princess. Who doesn’t know that Lord Sauron regards her more important than life?

call!

The figure of the pterosaur soared into the air.

Then Vivian, who was standing at the gate of the city, appeared in front of Stephen. The little girl didn't notice Stephen kneeling on one knee. After letting go of the pterosaur rope, she gently patted her hands and said crisply: "Lulu! Lulu! I'll take you to catch fish today!..."

The petite cat woman looked happy when she heard this, and nodded desperately and said, "Meow!...Catch fish!...Lulu wants to eat grilled fish!..."

In the sun.

Vivian led the little catwoman toward the beach, and Stephen quickly stood up and rushed towards the location of the station.

He still has to handle the task today.

……………………

Fights one after another.

Fighting again and again.

Blood, killing, death, and in the cruel and ruthless game of life and death, Modo City finally stood on this overseas archipelago.

What Sauron changed was not just Vivian's fate.

This city that is full of vitality has also changed the fate of many people.

Vivian finally has a stable growth environment and can live the life she should have in her spare time.

hapiness.

Carefree.

She lives like a child, after all, she is only nine years old.

And Sauron.

He will continue to move forward in the killing, because of promises and because of protection.
