Chapter 927: Eighteen Divinations
After leaving the Trembling Ice Tower, the fleet didn’t continue along the coastline. Instead, it headed northeast into the open sea. Consequently, the scenic view of the coastline was left behind.
The two captains spent their days closely watching the compass, afraid of veering off course.
Meanwhile, Robb spent his days fishing, with the two young nuns accompanying him. Occasionally, they helped him clean up the mishmash of things caught in their lines.
This leisurely and blissfully peaceful life carried on for several days. Robb had lost track of how many days had passed, but he wasn’t concerned; he was simply going with the flow.
On this day, a light rain began to fall on the sea. The rain wasn’t heavy, but the wind was strong. Once the wind picked up on the sea, waves started forming. As a result, the three ships bobbed up and down in the waves, swaying back and forth.
The two young nuns struggled to maintain their balance on the deck. They hadn’t spent their entire lives at sea as sailors but had become female merchants on the sea midway through. Consequently, they found the rolling waves quite distressing. Thankfully, Robb was there. He held one of the girls’ hands with one of his hands, allowing all three of them to stand firmly on the deck. However, this meant they couldn’t continue fishing.
Oh well! What did it matter if they caught fewer fish when he could hold a girl’s hand?
As they enjoyed this romantic moment, one of the young nuns suddenly exclaimed, “Ah, I see land ahead!”
In reality, Robb had already spotted the land using his detection magic. However, to make the girls happy, he pretended he had just seen it and smiled, saying, “Oh my, there really is land ahead. It looks like we’re getting close to the Big Tang.”
The sailors on all three ships got excited. Sailors were humans, after all, and humans tended to prefer the feeling of solid ground beneath their feet. After spending a long time at sea, seeing land was almost like seeing a loved one.
With renewed energy, all three ships charged towards the shore.
As the land ahead drew nearer, everyone could now make out the trees along the coastline. These trees were quite unusual; they had smooth trunks that rose high into the air. At the top, several large leaves fanned out, resembling a large umbrella. Currently, these umbrella-like trees swayed in the wind, presenting an interesting sight.
The two young nuns clapped their hands and laughed, “What strange trees are these?”
Robb replied, “These are coconut trees. The water inside the fruit is really refreshing.”
“Huh? How do you know?” The two young nuns were surprised.
“I’ve traveled to Big Tang before.”
“Oh, I see!”
The two young nuns asked, “So, what’s this land?”
Robb answered, “I guess this isn’t exactly land; it’s more of an island. It’s called Hainan Island.”
The father of the two young nuns walked over with a smile and said, “Godfather, you’re mistaken this time. The name of this island ahead is Nanli Island. As far as we know, Big Tang doesn’t have an island named Hainan Island.”

Robb rolled his eyes and thought, *Isn’t this Hainan Island? Now that I’m in a different world, it’s become Nanli Island.*
“The island does have residents, but…” the father of the two young nuns began, “there aren’t any proper harbors or cities here. If we anchor here, we won’t get decent supplies. If Godfather lands here, it’ll be troublesome to travel to the Central Plains. So, we should continue sailing forward and head straight to the bustling Boning Harbor in Big Tang. If Godfather disembarks there, it’ll be easy to access the prosperous Central Plains region of Big Tang and find minerals.”
Robb chuckled and said, “Let’s go with your plan!”
The decision was made for the fleet to keep going without making landfall.
The two young nuns pouted pitifully, saying, “No stopping ashore? We wanted to try the coconut fruit Godfather mentioned. He said it’s really tasty.”
The two fathers retorted, not in a very good mood, “Do you think the fleet would stop just so you could have a fruit? How much time would that waste?”
Robb laughed and said, “The fleet doesn’t need to stop. I’ll take them to pick coconuts.”
“Huh?”
The two young nuns were delighted.
In an instant, Robb put his arm around one of the young nuns’ waists and soared into the air with a swift movement, flying towards the coconut trees on the shore.
The sailors on the ship erupted in jealous cheers, “Oh my God! Flight magic!”
However, they also knew that Godfather wouldn’t be flying around with them like this. Such privileges were reserved for cute and innocent-looking girls. All they could do was watch in envy.
Soon, the three of them reached the coconut trees.
Luck was on their side; it was the season when the coconuts were ripe. Each of the girls picked two large coconuts and held them, giggling happily with flushed pink cheeks.
Looking at the smiling faces of the two young nuns as they picked coconuts, Robb felt really joyful.
However, just as the three of them were about to turn back to return to the ship, they noticed something on the sea in the northeast direction. Two fleets were engaged in battle.
Neither of these fleets consisted of large Western-style sailboats; they were a mishmash of smaller vessels. Most of them were hard sailboats, which were usually unsuitable for long voyages and were meant for playing along the coastlines. These boats were relatively small in size.
Drawing on the knowledge he had gained from the game “Age of Exploration,” Robb could discern that most of these ships were typical Big Tang merchant ships. They were clashing with sailboats from the Ghost Race.
The battle between the two fleets was intense, with rabbits and ghosts wielding weapons on the decks, creating a chaotic and fierce scene.
Unable to contain themselves, the two young nuns whispered, “What’s happening?”

Robb shook his head and sighed, “No need to ask; it’s obvious. These are sailors or pirates from the Big Tang, engaged in a battle with the Ghost Race. In the Age of Exploration, the Ghost Clan is a major concern for the rabbits.”
“What should we do?” the two young nuns asked, “Should we help one side?”
Robb smiled and said, “If the people from Big Tang are regular soldiers or merchants, we’ll assist them against the Ghost Race. If it’s just pirates fighting pirates, we won’t take sides. Because, no matter which kingdom’s pirates they are, they darn well aren’t good people.”
As he spoke, Robb held the two young nuns and flew back to the fleet. The lookout in the fleet had already noticed the fierce battle on the northeastern sea. More than twenty ships were engaged in an intense struggle, creating a lively scene.
Robb gently set the two young nuns down and then turned to their father, asking, “Can you recognize who these people from Big Tang are? Take a look to see if they’re regular soldiers, merchants, or pirates.”
The two ship captains used a “telescope” to carefully observe for a while before solemnly stating, “Reporting to Godfather, we recognize the flags on the rabbit ships. They’re not official representatives of Big Tang, nor are they ordinary merchants. They belong to the most infamous maritime armed group in Big Tang, known as the ‘Eighteen Divinations.’ They call themselves merchants and engage in trading goods everywhere, but in reality, their actions are no different from piracy. They also raid merchant caravans, causing a lot of trouble. Whenever we used to come to the Eastern Seas for trade, we would avoid them.”
