When Liu Zhi opened his eyes, the mechanical yet ethereal sound of the music box was still playing beside him.
Then Liu Zhi felt a foul stench rush into his face. He looked up and saw a gloomy sky, as if thick fog had blanketed the entire city.
The smell wafting from within the fog was nauseating, as though countless bizarre things had been burning for more than a decade, leaving this stench behind.
Even Liu Zhi found the smell unbearable.
Still, he felt somewhat relieved. Judging from the buildings before him, this was a medieval inland city. Though the smell was unpleasant, there was no sea breeze, no Fishman, and no need to go out to sea. To Liu Zhi, everything was good.
But in the next moment, Liu Zhi's expression turned ugly.
He already knew the identity of his current body. This body was also called Sandru, a naval officer in the Eagle Country Dreadnought Fleet. The place he was currently in was none other than the capital of Eagle Country, London.
At present, he had a very troublesome matter to deal with. His superior—the captain—had obtained a Privateering Permit from the Eagle Queen and was planning to get a ship of his own and head out to sea.
Some of his comrades had already agreed, willing to join this voyage.
Their destination was not the New World, which was already on the verge of breaking free from Eagle Country's rule. They were heading toward Eagle India and the country in the East.
Sandru had also received news from his superior yesterday.
His superior had invited him to serve as the Chief Sailor aboard the ship and promised that once they reached India, he would have the right to purchase some fine goods from India for smuggling.
