Twilight City, Huggins House, the last night before heading north.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to come to see me at home!" Huggins rubbed his eyes in disbelief when he saw the king appear at the door, and struggled to get out of bed.

Todd stepped forward quickly and pressed his shoulder: "Lie down, lie down." ”

Huggins sat up on the edge of the bed despite the dissuasion, trying his best to endure the dull pain in his spine and keep a smile on his face.

Todd asked with concern, "How's the wound?"

"Recently, I have been doing rehabilitation training under the supervision of the monks, and now I can walk on the ground for an hour every day. Huggins smiled and patted his chest, not caring at all.

Todd nodded and said, "That's good, hurry up and recover your body, there are still many things waiting for you to do in the kingdom." ”

After a few more small talks with Huggins, Todd handed the gifts he had brought to his wife and daughter, and left the house under the pretext of leaving the house.

Looking back at the door of the mansion, Huggins, who was supported by his wife and insisted on seeing off the king, Todd waved his hand and got into the carriage.

Rachel sat in her seat, quietly waiting for the king to arrive.

"Let's go back. ”

The guards heard the king's order and began to move in the direction of the Knights' headquarters.

Todd lowered the curtains of the carriage, cut off the streetscape from view, and sighed softly.

Rachel asked softly, "This is the last one of the night?"

"That's right, all those who need to say goodbye, this is the last one. ”

"Your Majesty, I can understand your feelings, but you should also know that every day we delay now, your life will pass by a day......"

Todd rolled up his sleeves, looked at the wound caused by the mutation, which had spread to most of his forearms, and said helplessly: "I understand, no matter what, tomorrow morning is the day we set off." ”

Early the next morning, the sky was just getting light, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

A man and a woman, wrapped in black robes, drove their horses out of the back door to the Knights' headquarters and rushed to the port of Dusk.

Aisha's "Black Pearl" was moored early in the harbor. Its captain took off his heavy floor-sweeping robe, his long, supple black hair tied into a bun, and his slightly swarthy body was dressed in leather armor that didn't fit too well.

Looking at the Kingdom Token held up by Richel, Aisha frowned, looked at the passenger behind the woman who was hiding her true face, and said, "Come up, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

When passing by the two, Aisha raised her head, her different-colored pupils shining: "I don't care who you used to be, it's my cargo when you get on my ship." If you dare to do anything that doesn't qualify as 'cargo', I don't mind throwing you into the sea with my own hands!"

Rachel nodded, pulling Todd straight off the deck.

"Strange guy. ”

The whispers of the sailors made Aisha draw her dagger in displeasure and stick her hand on the high mast.

"Shut up, get back to your respective places, and let's get out of here!"

Todd, who was sitting in the cabin, felt the slight vibration beneath him, and heard the sound of the sails opening in his ears.

On the high window, the direction of sunlight slowly changed, and the hull slowly left the plank road of the port.

The sight of the hills of Twilight City grew farther and farther out of view, and Todd glanced at Rachel, who was looking around in the cabin, and said in a voice that he could only hear, "Goodbye, Twilight." ”

——————————————

Black Pearl left the port of Twilight and sailed for two full days.

Unlike the boat trips of the previous life, the days of sailing on the seas were dull and tedious.

In the cabin, it took a few minutes to enter the soul space and finish a brief regular meeting with the officials of Twilight City. Todd listened to the sound of the waves outside the boat, and boredly flipped through the books he was carrying.

For this voyage, Rachel made detailed preparations.

Food, clothes, books, and even laboratory equipment were all prepared.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Todd listened to Rachel's advice and compressed his own space into the cabin, even if it was a meal, the latter would take it for him.

But soon, the sound of angry scolding and arguing from the deck forced him to put down the book in his hand. Put on your robes, use the "shapeshifting" ability gifted by Lawrence, transform your face into a rather heroic young man, and push open the door and walk up the stairs.

Rachel stood on the deck, and at his feet lay a sturdy sailor who was wailing. The latter was sweating profusely, clutching his right arm, which had been twisted into a strange position, and cursing all kinds of foul language.

"You've broken my arm! You bitch! I'm going to strip you naked and hang you on the mast to dry yourself!"

Todd walked over to Richell's side and gave him a caring look.

The woman shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

"What's going on?!" Aisha stepped onto the deck with a dagger and a sailor's robe, her sharp gaze darting back and forth between the sailors and passengers, and finally on Richel's body.

"It seems that your subordinates are not too obedient. Rachel dusted herself off and smiled at the captain.

Aisha immediately understood what was happening, she knew too well about these crude and vulgar men, and it was only natural for these people to reveal their pirate nature as soon as they entered the high seas.

Aisha lowered her voice and yelled viciously, "I said they're precious goods! take care of that thing in your crotch, don't let me bother with another word!"

Among the sailors, there was a tall man with gold teeth, and he said in a strange way: "As the captain of the ship, shouldn't you care about your crew first?"

Todd followed the sound and saw that there were seven or eight people standing next to the "Golden Fang", and they invariably started to coax with these words.

"The first mate is right!"

"That's right, besides, this woman did it first!"

"Even if it's a cargo, can't you just touch it?" ha!"

"It's been two days since the voyage! Why hasn't the captain told us where we're going?!"

Todd looked sideways at Aisha, whose expression was cold and unmoving, but the short sword in his hand was trembling slightly.

A 22-year-old female pirate, even if her father's name is loud, it may be difficult to convince the public.

"Mr. Derek (Todd's pseudonym), your female companion has injured my men, and we must talk about compensation. ”

Todd closed his eyes, smiled and nodded, "Of course there is no problem, let me think about it." ”

In the next moment, Todd called Rachel into the research institute of the soul space and said to her, "If we take command of this ship now, is it feasible?"

Rachel shook his head: "It's only been two days now, and it's still a long way from the northern ice sea, so I don't recommend capturing the ship now." First, we had no experience in sailing, and even if we captured the ship, we would have to rely on the crew to continue the voyage, and second, we had to rely on the daughter of Barbarossa to show us the way. According to my intelligence, she had sailed to the northern ice fields, and without her cooperation, we would not have been able to reach our destination among the spider-like glaciers. ”

"So what do we do now? Give them money and slow them down?"

"No, I have another idea. Rickel sat in the swivel chair in the office, holding his chin and thinking as he said, "A sailor just said something that made me a little concerned......

Todd had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked, "It's been two days since the voyage! Why hasn't the captain told us where we're going?"

Rachel glanced approvingly at Todd and nodded, "That's right, that's it." According to my suspicion, the sailor's harassment of me must have been a deliberate provocation. On the one hand, the captain of the Black Pearl did not tell the crew the destination before sailing, which may cause many people to be dissatisfied, and on the other hand, some sailors coveted the leadership of Aisha. Taken together, these two events have led to today's provocation, and some people want to use this incident as an opportunity to suppress her prestige. ”

Todd recalls the scene on the ship, saying, "The leader is the first mate with the gold teeth. ”

Rachel nodded: "That's right, it should be him." ”

Todd pondered for a moment, then suggested, "Then we might be able to help get rid of this group." ”

"It's a way, but it's not the best way. Rachel flicked the mouse on the table with his hand and said softly, "It is not difficult to use our ability to wipe out these disobedient scum, but in this way, it will inevitably arouse Aisha's vigilance and vigilance against us. After all, there are suddenly two powerful xenomorphs on his own ship, and this kind of thing will not be willing to be seen by any captain. If we don't get it right, we might end up pushing this young pirate captain to our opposite. ”

Todd instantly understood what she meant: "You want to exacerbate this contradiction and let Aisha do it herself, to clear the instability of this voyage." ”()
