Although Chun wasn't worried, he was still anxious and conflicted.

Luckily, the Black Flag Order indicated that the Siren was approaching.

The Siren spoke in the business channel: "I rescued Aziza, get ready to isolate the plague."

Huh? This kind of rescue?

Chun immediately summoned the angel divine pet. The next moment, the Siren arrived with someone dressed similarly to how Piku transformed!

Quickly, a golden light sprinkled down, activating the divine isolation shield.

Aziza slowly opened her eyes, staring blankly at Chun.

Chun felt a little weak all over; she's a red name!

Better greet her: "Hello, Miss Aziza..."

Aziza still looked bewildered.

The Siren laughed: "Actually, the entire ship's crew had been hypnotized by Merfolk. Since she's a woman, she could hold out longer and even tried to resist, so I hypnotized her strongly too, making her like this."

Uh... being hypnotized by both Merfolk and Siren is a bit much! Will the spirit shock turn her stupid?

Quickly have the divine pet use full healing techniques for negative removal, yet she remains dazed.

Chun was quite clueless: "How long will this state last for her?"

The Siren laughed: "I don't know, at least she won't die, right? You just do what you need to do!"

Do what you need to do? Honestly, this dazed type inexplicably stirred an evil thought within Chun… An urge to lift her skirt flap for a peek!

Holy shit! I'm a decent person, an old cadre who endured hellish scenes, how can I mess up here...

Chun felt guilty and decided to play it safe. Quickly set the invincibility of the divine pet to automatic state, lest she suddenly wakes up and stabs him.

Better continue practicing sailing...

Just then, Aziza spoke: "That's not how you steer a ship!"

Hmm?

Chun turned to see her approaching, pressing up against him from behind, with her hands holding his

hands on the helm!

Aileen screamed: "Bitch!"

Holy shit, don't mess around!

Chun immediately asked: "Miss Aziza, are you feeling better?"

Aziza just replied: "The ship is steered this way..."

Gotta admit, with Aziza's correction, Chun's proficiency shot up like crazy!

Holy shit, getting professional guidance is truly way better than self-taught success ~~ If she can guide me to expert level, what's her skill? It's hard not to aim for Master-level now!

Chun immediately advised sincerely: "Aileen, when I'm not around, you must humbly accept her guidance too. She can rival the Five Cities Flower, you know?"

Aileen sneered: "This bitch is definitely pretending to be stupid..."

Is pretending to be dumb really a thing? Honestly, pretending to be dumb prevents communication with her, but she can fully participate nonetheless. Chun really doesn't know how to handle this. For now, he chooses not to think too much and just accepts her guidance.

...

On the return journey, Sariel pondered the subsequent developments.

After successfully evacuating the Sea of a Thousand Islands area, Fafnir's Black Iron Blade left. This was originally an opportunity to completely conquer her, but even with her substantial help, success wasn't achieved. It's not just about losing a beloved, but also losing the chance to incorporate Black Iron City into his own power.

It also exposed his carelessness and rashness. Women generally find such men unreliable. From the perspective of the Black Iron Navy, the issues exposed by this operation became more apparent—the pirate mobilization was prepared from the start, and Silver City's spies were too numerous to ignore!

After this battle, the pirates will forge closer ties with the Siren. Next time, you will encounter pirates with sea monsters, transforming them into entities you can't easily provoke...

This feeling, though victorious, seems like defeat...

"Miss Remia, who do you think in the city has close ties with the pirates?"

Remia's expression was serious: "Mr. Sariel, refrain from discussing topics that aren't conducive to cohesion."

Sariel smiled bitterly: "So, Miss Remia already has someone in mind?"

Remia firmly denied: "No!"

Which means she does! And it's significant enough that she doesn't dare to mention it.

Finally, Silver Port was reached. A fleet was already there to greet them offshore.

The victorious horns blew, citizens of the entire city were densely packed with flowers awaiting on the docks.

Evidently, the early return of 4000 war prisoners achieved the intended effect, and his prestige privileges along with the mermaid guardian god qualification received substantial reinforcement.

Then, purging spies and even the development of the Sea of Creation could be prioritized...

...

3 AM.

Either accustomed to staying up all night or the current steering posture kept Chun from feeling sleepy, anyway, what was supposed to happen finally did:

——System notification: Congratulations! With Aziza's assistance, using outstanding wisdom, you comprehended expert-level Sailing Technique 10 through Master-level Module Combination! Achievement reward: load capacity +2, physical strength +2, life +2…

Level 10!

Continuing in this sea area makes it impossible to reach Master-level, only further exploration will do.

Chun asked the Siren: "Goddess, I want to explore deeper sea areas."

The Siren laughed: "I've been waiting impatiently! Inside, you'll encounter space distortion, it's very fun!"

Chun then asked Aziza: "Miss Aziza, we are venturing deeper! It's very dangerous, do you have any suggestions?"

Aziza still didn't answer.

Okay, in these past three hours, she didn't answer any question other than steering the ship, always repeating "That's not how you steer a ship" like a parrot.

To test if she's pretending might actually be simple… But my hands are held on the helm by her, as a righteous old cadre, I address the facts not the intent, and I really can't go through with it.

In any case, the Obsidian has now entered the depths of the black waves, black clouds rushing in, visibility becoming extremely low!

"Aileen, radar!"

Aileen: "Tch!"

But the next moment, Aileen suddenly realized: "The radar has no echo!"

Indeed, the radar ahead showed a blank area! Meaning—

Chun hadn't reacted yet when Aziza suddenly turned the helm, narrowly avoiding the blank area in front of the radar!

The Siren burst into laughter: "Interesting! Was it you who avoided it, or her who avoided it?"

Chun got anxious: "You should warn me when there's danger!"

The Siren laughed: "That would be less fun, right? Besides, it's not really a big deal, further inside is more fun."

You mad freak…

Alright, it's now certain that Aziza, as a pirate of City Flower level, probably possesses not just sailing and treasure-hunting skills but also rather impressive spatial detection abilities — high-end treasures tend to be hidden in alternate spaces, and thieves and mages inevitably have to engage in spatial battles of wits.

And as I have radar, this counts as an additional spatial detection method, and with good cooperation, truly able to push for Grandmaster—wait!

Suddenly, Chun had a thought. She might be pretending to be stupid, but is it possible she discovered something unique about my ship with the goddess aboard, and she also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to boost her skills? Does she aim for Grandmaster level?
