With Qing Mo leading a squad of personal guards, Huazi cigarettes dangling from their mouths and puffing out smoke with every breath, they arrived at Will Turner's blacksmith shop amid the strange looks of the ordinary people in the slums!
Knock, knock, knock~!
"Coming! Who are you?" Hearing the knocking, Will Turner hurriedly opened the door.
"You're Will Turner, correct?"
"Yes, sir! I'm Will Turner!"
Looking at Qing Mo, dressed in a black-and-red robe with a head of snow-white hair, Will Turner had already guessed his identity. Upon hearing the question, he immediately replied.
After all, he had heard the news yesterday as well: a fleet from the distant Eastern ancient kingdom had arrived at Port Royal to conduct trade with them!
And its leader was an immensely noble Marquis!
"I imagine you've heard some news and know who I am, correct?"
"Y-Yes! The Marquis from the distant Eastern ancient kingdom!"
After meeting Qing Mo's profound eyes, Will Turner was somewhat shaken by his incomparably noble bearing, and fear crept into his heart.
He could not understand why this Marquis, whose status was so exalted—and who was even the teacher of the future monarch of the Eastern ancient kingdom—had suddenly come looking for him!
"My fleet has only just arrived here and is unfamiliar with these waters, so I need a young, energetic guide who knows this sea region well!"
"At last night's banquet, someone recommended you to me. She said you met my requirements, so I came to take a look today!"
"Do you think you can handle what I require?"
Hearing Qing Mo's explanation, Will Turner finally understood, but he did not answer the question immediately.
"Marquis, may I know who exactly recommended me to you?"
"Of course! For that reason, I specifically asked her for a token!"
