Chapter 448: Looting and Inexplicable Premonitions
As the diseases around the Golden Sea are slowly contained and the shipping season is approaching, the Black Sea route between the Golden Sea and the Old and New Continents is becoming lively.
Although autumn is getting stronger, the spring that belongs to the pirates has returned.
Whoa...
A cruiser with a black dragon-headed pirate flag on its mast and a low hull and huge sails looks very different, like an elegant black swan cutting through the blue waves of the sea.
Compared to most of the bloated ships at this time, it was as if they were flying close to the water.
Olivia stood quietly on the foredeck, staring at the waves that were constantly being split by the V-shaped bow of the Daystar, her eyes slightly misty.
Whew-
The sea breeze blows "her" chubby round face.
Occasionally, there was a splash of water that landed on the relatively low deck or even on her, and Olivia didn't care in the slightest.
At this time.
She felt that this was the life she had always wanted, as a great adventurer determined to conquer the unknown, driving her own sailboat, roaming in a wild land that no human had ever set foot in.
Or discover new lands in the sea and expand the territory of the human world, or explore the secrets hidden in the long river of time, and be the one closest to history, or discover the infinite treasures of this world, and harvest countless riches and... Jewel!
It is the rejection of a comfortable life by the "adventurer's blood" stirring in the girl's body, as well as the yearning for a wider sea and world. Perhaps, not only because of the "blood of the adventurer".
It would be even better if it was an adventure ship with the same firepower and incredible speed as the Daystar.
Looking back at Aven, who was standing beside him, wearing a white mask and seemingly having a slight change in temperament, Olivia exclaimed with a slight excitement:
"Your Excellency, is this the 'Garott-type heavy cruiser', which is known as the fastest sailing ship in the kingdom?"
"Haha, compared to the quasi-legendary battleship 'Storm Horn', isn't our technologically advanced 'Daystar' also very good?
Perhaps one day in the future, without the involvement of extraordinary powers, pure technology will allow ships to have speeds that are not inferior to those of legendary warships, and the 'Daystar' may be just the beginning. ”
Ai Wen was a little ostentatious at this time, and the satisfaction of the audience was of course completely different. Although he was faced with the round face of the little fat man Roddy, in his heart, he had already made up for the beautiful appearance of Olivia's real body.
This is probably the supreme state of what is commonly said to be "what is in the eyes and nothing in the heart".
Then he silently added in his heart:
That day may not be too far off. ’
Olivia's belief in Aven seems to have become an instinctive habit, and she nodded her head again and again, not feeling that there was anything wrong with this kind of thing that seemed fantastical to others:
"Excellent! Even as an expedition ship, it must be the best after removing some of the hulls and guns.
Moreover, I believe that what Your Excellency said, even if it cannot be realized in the hands of others, there must be no problem in your hands. ”
"You have a lot of faith in me. ”
To be so recognized by the girl, of course Ai Wen felt very useful, and there seemed to be a smile between his eyebrows.
"It meant to be. ”
On the other side of the deck, Milan, who was also watching the scenery with Apusua in his arms, inadvertently swept to two people who were talking and laughing next to the [Bow Portrait - Lucky Gold Coins].
Suddenly feel the state of those two people at this time? Even if it was for himself and Apusuya, there was no sense of disobedience. And then? He looked at the white little fat man repeatedly, and then at the tall and handsome Aven.
Bang bang bang ...
Milan couldn't help but shudder? Goosebumps are popping up on my arms.
Immediately afterwards, an eager sense of mission suddenly emerged from the bottom of my heart:
'No? I can't let Evan go down this path of no return.
It must have been that he had been on the boat and in the lab for too long, and I had to make him realize that dating girls was the way to go. But... My sister Ivina is still too young. ”
At a time when Milan was racking his brains to reverse Aven's dangerous tendencies.
"Report to your lordship? You've found your target!"
The lookout on the mainmast suddenly let out a cry of excitement.
Without Aven's orders, the helmsman and cable chief are already in control of the ship? Rushing forward at a speed that was not in proportion to his size.
Soon.
Even if the other party has already turned to flee after seeing the black sails? But after a brief chase, the distance between the two sides had quickly narrowed to the point where they could see each other's faces on board.
Evan looked sideways at Olivia beside him and smiled easily:
"Roddy, play the flag? Let them lower their sails and surrender? After handing over the goods, you can not kill them. ”
Even though the other party was obviously a well-armed merchant ship, his tone was no different from that of a chick who was harmless to humans and animals.
In fact, this is the balance of power between the two sides.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
The girl excitedly agreed, Olivia, who looked like this and was a pirate for the first time, faintly rose in her heart to break all the shackles of the past? It's like a forbidden feeling.
This may be the reason why most of the girls who are in love with bad boys when they are students like to socialize with bad boys.
The premise is not to be found out by the other parent...
......
"Captain? What should we do? They waved the flag, and if we pretended not to see it? They're definitely going to shoot.
The emblem of the black dragon head, that is the 'Dragoon Pirate Regiment' that kills people without blinking? And it's the head of the regiment, the white knight, who personally went out!"
The armed merchant ship "Molotov", which is subordinate to the Santa Babia company? The first mate put down the beautiful brass telescope in his hand? Anxiously consulted the captain beside him.
'Unlucky, unlucky, how could you meet this killing god!'
They had sunk the Santa Cruz Merchant, the equivalent of a fourth-class battleship in the company, and had taken 3,000 slaves of great value.
That's a character that even the nineteen gentlemen of the top management hate to itch their teeth, but they can't do anything about it.
The 'Molotov', which is slightly inferior to the fifth-class ships, has to go toe-to-toe with him?
Unlike the unheard of the Santa Cruz Merchant a few months ago, the name of the White Knight has long since spread throughout the small half of the human world, and the curly-haired captain with sweaty hair knows exactly what a terrifying enemy he is facing.
In the blink of an eye, I have weighed the pros and cons and made a decision that is not too difficult:
"Order, lower the sails, stop the ship. All the crew laid down their arms and lined up on the deck, and we surrendered!"
When he said a word, the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed.
......
Seeing the merchant ship slowly slowing down and lowering its sails, Aven showed a smile that seemed to be under control.
Although this was a wise choice that normal people would make, he gave Olivia a thumbs up as soon as he lowered the signal flag.
Silently express his thoughts: "Well done!"
And Olivia, who couldn't hide the excitement on her face, also gave Evan a thumbs up.
It means "thanks to the prestige of His Excellency the Captain!"
Then they looked at each other and smiled.
Everything seemed so natural, with a tacit sense that was absolutely difficult to develop between day and night, but neither of them felt that there was anything wrong with this.
Wow –
And Milan, who had been paying attention to the movement here, narrowed his eyes, and a blood-red word suddenly appeared on his head [Danger!]
He felt that in order to save the future of the Gariot family, he had to act as soon as possible, and if he made a big mistake later, he would regret it.
"It's still a girl who is soft and fragrant in your arms, brother, you believe me.jpg!"
While roaring in his heart, he had already begun to think about which of his treasured master's hand-painted books to give to Ai Wen.
"Let's get on board!"
Step on.. Step on.. Step on..
After a few moments, the planks were lowered, and several people boarded the armed merchant ship "Molotov", surrounded by a group of vicious pirates.
After inspection, they found that most of the ships were loaded with small but valuable luxury goods:
Ivory pipes, amber jewelry boxes, precious stone buttons, beautifully crafted gold brooches, jewelry, ceremonial swords, silk clothing, and much more.
And looking at the labels, many of them are customized models of colonial magnates, obviously this is a merchant ship with cargo between the old and new continents after collecting a deposit in advance.
"These guys who don't eat fireworks in the world are quite leisurely.
After the destruction of the Treasure Fleet, Syrius could not even pay his military salaries, and was so poor that he had to live by supporting pirates and plundering. The luxurious days of the colonial high-ranking people were not affected in the slightest. ”
Obviously, relying on the colony of Cyrius, these moths are all very rich, and Evan has already begun to think about going to the big city of the Cyrius colony.
'Let you brain-filled fellows spend all your money on meaningless pastimes, and leave it to my laboratory to contribute to the health and hygiene of all mankind.' ’
The more Evan thought about it, the more he felt that if he didn't do it in the future, he would not only be sorry for his money bag, but also sorry for all mankind!
Standing beside these luxuries, which should have belonged to the predetermined fat sheep, he noticed that the faces of the two girls on the ship suddenly moved, and said to Olivia and Apusua:
"Monetizing luxury goods can be tedious, but they're all good things, so pick two for each person. ”
This easy raid without a single shot was all thanks to the prestige of the regimental commander, the white knight, and the pirates did not feel that there was anything wrong with the regimental commander's decision.
What Avan of Apsuriana didn't notice.
I saw that Olivia took an inconspicuous-looking blue-black tourmaline (tourmaline) button, and a label that read the masterpiece of the famous mainland fashion designer Lai Bemin's "Fairy Spring".
The silky aqua green dress, with silver threads and gemstones interspersed into a pattern of water waves, will definitely look like Limbo's fairy if worn on Olivia.
I was in my heart, but I couldn't help but laugh on my lips:
"Roddy, you have a lot of vision, this long dress with bright yellow crystal jewelry, she must like it very much when it is given to your uncle's cousin. ”
"Thanks... Thank you, Captain, that's what I thought. ”
Olivia's face was slightly red, and she couldn't help but realize how inappropriate her choice was, but fortunately she had the "cousin of her uncle's family" as a shield.
And.
She found that she didn't seem to have too much to worry about her identity being exposed, even if she hadn't uncovered all of Aven's secrets, but we... They're already friends anyway, right?
Even if he asks directly, he probably won't refuse.
Smack-
After herding all the crew members of the merchant ship onto the several longboats that were carried with him, Evan snapped his fingers crisply.
"Click..."
A large, flattened lizard, five meters long, suddenly sprang out of his shadow.
The scales on the surface of the body are still pure black without reflection at all, but there are two swollen pockets on the back, and there are more edges and corners on the head, faintly looking like the dragoon insignia.
Sou!
Then, in full view of everyone, the entire ship was engulfed in the sudden shadow, and the click disappeared.
The pirates who came back to their senses looked at each other, and then couldn't help but be excited:
"I just saw a dragon. ”
"Me too!"
"It's the captain's dragon, although it's a small dragon, but our dragoons really have dragons. ”
Ignoring the crew's sudden uplift.
Although it had only been a day and a half since the trip had been completed, and the time had come to evening, Evan was not ready to continue wandering.
And he suddenly had an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart, always feeling that something personally related was about to happen, and that premonition was getting heavier and heavier, and he was not in the mood to continue hunting.
So he ordered:
"Let's go back to the 'Daystar'!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!"
However, unfortunately, the battleship had just gone back.
On the surface of the sea, a sailing ship that looked tattered and tattered, and who had experienced an unknown amount of wind and rain, lay in front of them.
Before that, the seagulls in the psychic network had not found any trace of each other.
"There are quirks. ”
