As soon as they heard the word sea elf pirate, Alice, Granny and the others were stunned.

Sea elves, as the name suggests, this family is also a branch of the elven family, just like the steppe elves, except that the sea elves do not live on land, but in the sea.

The sea elves, who love nature as much as the elves, regard the entire vast ocean as their home, and if other races wantonly pollute the marine environment, this behavior is like cutting down trees on the territory of the elves and being seen by the elves, which will attract targeted attacks from the sea elves.

This is known as the Sea Elf Pirate, and although the Sea Elves do not actually raid, the various fleets attacked by the Sea Elves have passed down the name.

Unfortunately, the Terran boats that overfish their catches are also the kind of "enemies" that the sea elves see as destroying the marine ecology, although most of the Terran boats that go out to sea do not really realize the seriousness of this type of problem at first. In the face of the solemn warnings from the sea elf messengers, many Terran fishing boats chose to ignore them.

Then they were directly wiped out by the sea elves.

Due to the destruction of the fishing boats that went out to fish, the Principality of Seahorse, which had a long coastline at that time, and regarded itself as the overlord of the sea, was furious, and directly organized a "strongest" fleet on the continent of Elia at that time to kill the sea elves.

And then they were also destroyed by the sea elves.

Although the sea elves also suffered a lot of losses, the sea elves were the victors after all, and the remaining small half of the fleet of the Seahorse Principality was now a trophy of the sea elves. I don't know how the sea elf nobles suddenly became interested in these ships, and the sea elves used these ships as their vehicles in the future. That's how the sea elves have been using these ships all along. This has been the case until now.

So now when the fleet on the sea sees a ship with the flag of the Principality of Seahorse appears, it knows that it is a sea elf pirate.

(Because no cloth is produced in the sea.) So the sea elves didn't take down the flag, but directly took it as their own. Of course. It's the kind of pirate flag with a big cross painted on it. ）

After the loss of the "invincible" fleet, the Principality of Seahorse collapsed directly, and the constantly rebellious aristocratic faction and the royal faction fought together, and finally both were defeated and fell together in the demonic disaster. The current mercenary kingdom was built on the original site of the Principality of Seahorse, so Alice and the others know a little bit about these histories, so they are a little uneasy at the moment.

After all, fighting the sea elves at sea is like fighting the elves in the forest, and it must be an absolute disadvantage for other races.

And for the Terrans. Sea elf pirates have another name: the Kraken.

Compared to other races that can still communicate normally, the sea elves who were injured a lot by the counterattack of the Principality of Seahorses have been very hostile to humans since then, and from time to time they will attack the ships of the Terrans with the Naga, Fishmen and other sea tribes, and as a result, they are regarded as members of the sea tribe by false rumors.

In fact, the sea elves often fight with the Fish-Men or the Naga for control of a sea area, and they only join forces when facing the Terran fleet.

Of course, Alice and the others naturally won't be misunderstood like ordinary people who don't know the truth, but those sea elves alone are enough for everyone to have a headache.

Since the merchant ships of the Church of the Gods were also robbed once, under the repeated blows of the Church of the Gods, these so-called sea elf pirates have not been haunted for a long time. So I'm afraid I can't find much information about the Sea Elf Pirates right now. And just knowing that the opponent may be a sea elf, this level of intelligence is completely insufficient, at least you have to know the most basic information such as the weapons used by the sea elf pirates.

"So, it's likely that the other party came for the leaves of the World Tree in the first place?" Nancy wasn't thinking about it. She started thinking about it from a different perspective entirely.

"It's quite possible." Roger smiled wryly and spread his hands, "After all, the World Tree is located on an island that is constantly moving, so there are also members of the Sea Elves among the guardians of the World Tree. Although it is impossible to blatantly rebel against the will of the goddess of nature. But they can do it themselves in private. As long as the leaves of the World Tree do not fall into the hands of the Terrans, the Sea Elves probably don't mind which Sea Clan's hands the leaves fall into. ”

"That's a problem...... Nancy frowned as well.

"Let's be honest. If the leaves of the World Tree are no longer in the hands of the Sea Elves, that would be good news for us. Compared to the unfathomable strength of the sea elves. Both the Fish-Man and the Naga are better to deal with. Alice said as she took out a quaint compass from her bosom and carefully placed it on the desk, "Just in case, the guardian of the World Tree from the Elves has applied a special magic mark to the box containing the leaves of the World Tree, and this compass owned by the Elven royal family will always point to the location of this magic mark. ”

"Be prepared for the worst in everything, be careful" Looking at the compass on the table, Roger nodded slowly, "Now what we need to do is to gather as much strength as possible, as well as to find as much information as possible about the sea elves, and ask for information about the enemy from the crew members who have returned safely from the Violet Chamber of Commerce." ”

………… I'm the dividing line for everyone to work separately............

"For this incident, on behalf of the Violet Chamber of Commerce, I am really sorry! This is our little apology......"

As the president of the Violet Chamber of Commerce, Nya came to Alice's parlor at her invitation. Without waiting to see who was sitting on the throne, Nia made a big bow, and then said some "official language" very honestly.

"Alright, President Nia, huh? By inviting you over this time, I didn't mean to hold the Violet Chamber of Commerce responsible. Alice, who didn't accept Nia's so-called "apology" and directly interrupted Nia's words, raised her eyebrows and said in a very relaxed tone: "It's just that I'm still a little puzzled about this pirate attack." That's why we need your answer. ”

The word pirate accentuated her tone, and Alice narrowed her eyes slightly. Smiling and continuing, "After all, that item is for our royal family of Gelaru. It's so important! ”

Nia, who was originally relieved because Alice personally believed that it was a pirate attack, suddenly tensed her nerves again, and she needed an item that Alice, who was already Queen Gelaru, personally asked, was obviously definitely a very important thing, and Nia, who felt that the Violet Chamber of Commerce was indeed in great trouble, was almost about to cry.

"Okay, don't scare this young chamber of commerce president, you are all very capable young people, you should be more close." Roger, who is still dressed as "Merlin", said very old-fashioned.

After seeing the dawn of completing the mission, Roger, who had regained his normal heart, once again attacked everywhere as "Merlin", which was a headache for the nobles of Siekeld. But even Alice, who is the queen, has to be respectful to Master Merlin. The mercenary kings who pop up from time to time often hook up with Master Merlin, so the nobles of the Free Federation, who really can't figure out where Master Merlin came from, are very honest during this time.

Especially after a legendary swordsman was turned into a little lamb by Mage Merlin for three days and three nights because of his disrespectful words in public, these nobles were even more honest and submissive. So under the shadow of the terrible Mage Merlin, the entire mercenary kingdom was in unprecedented harmony, and even those rude mercenaries were much more peaceful during this time.

Privately, though, Mage Merlin has added a lot of terrifying or weird names such as "Lord of Shadows", "Sikeld's Nightmare", "Man-Eating Demon", and so on.

Therefore, after seeing that this "highly respected" Master Merlin was also present, and after hearing all kinds of rumors about Master Merlin, President Nia's body suddenly trembled, and tears even appeared in the corners of her eyes.

She had even imagined herself being turned into a lamb and served directly to the Merlin mage's table.

President Nia looked at the tears rippling in her eyes. Roger, who didn't expect his kind opening to be such a result, was suddenly embarrassed, and after being glared at by Alice, Roger honestly studied the pattern of the ceiling.

In fact, Roger had completely forgotten about the sorceress with whom he had a relationship. It's just that I still have some impressions of the Violet Chamber of Commerce.

After softly reassuring Nya for a while, Alice slowly asked Nya about the details of the pirates encountered by the Violet merchant ships.

In fact, after a detailed investigation, Alice and the others were very surprised to find out. This time, in addition to the old Wood on the surface, Nia, who was the current president of the Violet Chamber of Commerce, was actually on this fleet at that time.

That's all. The suspicion of collusion between the Violet Chamber of Commerce and the pirates can be ruled out, and Nia, who was a mid-level mage at the time, was also one of the few members who survived after having the experience of fighting the pirates. It is precisely because of the hard work of Nia and others. The fleet was able to hold up until the arrival of the elven golden fleet, and the pirates left in a hurry after taking some of the cargo, not killing all the survivors.

“…… What are the specific races of pirates? I'm really not sure about that. Under Alice's cross-examination, Nia thought about it very seriously, and then replied helplessly, "Those pirate ships are flying the flag of a small pirate group with little reputation, but their strength is incredible!" Even the top-tier swordsman, Mr. Gran, fell under their swords, and if it weren't for Old Wood's burning life potential, we probably wouldn't have been able to support the timely arrival of the Golden Fleet. ”

Nia obviously still had lingering feelings about the scene at that time, but it seemed that it was precisely because of this that when she said this, she seemed to think of something, and said very eagerly: "By the way, although those pirates are all covered faces, there seem to be two groups of people among them!" One of the men was a scimitar and was relatively tall, with a black veil covering their faces. It was these unidentified but powerful pirates who killed Mr. Gran. The other group was short in stature, most of them wrapped in black, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and they used a very narrow slice knife. Listening to their accents, it seems to be Yingzhou people! Right! It is indeed the weird accent of the Yingzhou people! ”

There are still Yingzhou people?

Roger and Alice glanced at each other, and they both knew a little bit in their hearts.

Compared to other pirates, the Yingzhou pirates have always been relatively loners, and they have never heard of them joining forces with other pirates. In this way, it is likely that these Yingzhou pirates were coerced by the sea elves who needed to disguise their identities to attack Violet's fleet together.

A proper bunch of substitutes! (To be continued......)
