What happened in the morning at the gates of the Abbey of Saint-Sulamail was no more than a trivial farce for the whole city of Silver Tide, at most because it involved a small young genius of the Wave Trident family, and one more conversation among the nobility.

But just like a pebble thrown into the water, no matter how small and tiny, it will produce a little ripple and fluctuation. The impact of Carl's easy knockout of Crassus was still slightly greater than he expected.

A little later than the "Queen of the Waves" Josephine, in a simple and elegant villa, full of tranquility and serenity. The beautiful Lady Loris, wearing a long lilac dress that was rather loose, reclined on the softly cushioned sofa, and drank morning tea comfortably.

As with most villas, the living room is spacious, with a row of large floor-to-ceiling windows that let in bright light on the polished teak floors and marble coffee tables covered with snow-white tablecloths.

A gray-haired, but still meticulous old butler was standing respectfully, reporting on the day's events and arrangements.

"Madame, the fleet of Knight Hambani and Baron Grant has returned safely, and with them is Lord Amst, from the Empire of San Jose. ”

The old butler meticulously reported in a calm voice: "The Knight of Hanbani has written that they have encountered an attack by pirates on this voyage, and that there are four ships in total, and nearly three hundred pirates are besieging them. ”

"Pirates?"

This news was not enough to move Lady Loris, she took a sip of milk tea lightly, and said calmly: "It's not surprising, since the pirate king Locelik and his Iron Throne were destroyed together, the order of the entire harp sea has completely collapsed, and those lawless sea thieves have completely lost their restraint. ”

"These greedy thieves are all bewitched by the lies of Losselik before he died!"

The old butler obviously hated the current chaotic situation at sea, and could not help but say: "The treasure of the Pirate King, the route of the New World, the secret of the El Dorado, and the legend of the Fountain of Youth, are all nonsense! Only those greedy thieves would believe the lies of a discredited pirate!"

"I think the pirate king Roselik made up this lie before he died purely for revenge......"

"Hehe, it's not necessarily a lie!"

Lady Loriss took a sip of milk tea lightly and said with a faint smile: "The reputation of the Pirate King Locelik is quite trustworthy, but the credibility and commitment of the high-ranking people in this world are not always as trustworthy as him. The route to the New World, the secrets of El Dorado in the depths of the Stormy Sea, and the legendary fountain of immortality that keeps people alive were all too expensive, far more expensive than Loseric knew and more than his Iron Throne could bear. ”

"Think about it, a fountain of immortality that can keep you young forever, oh my God, even I'm about to be moved!"

"Is the legend about the Pirate King Roselik true?"

The old butler couldn't help but be surprised, a little incredulous.

"Maybe it's true! at least partially!"

Lady Lores gently stirred the milk tea with a silver spoon and said softly: "I don't know if the legend of the Fountain of Youth, although Locelik has indeed recovered from a middle-aged man to a young man in his twenties, but there are too many means in this world to do it, and it is not enough to prove that he drank the spring water of the Fountain of Youth. ”

"It is not known whether the existence of El Dorado exists or not, but it is true that Locelik did bring back a shipload full of gold during a long voyage, and it is said that they even abandoned food in order to carry as much gold as possible, so that they fell into famine and starved to death on the way. ”

"The only thing that can be proven is that he did find a safe route through the Storm Sea and another continent deep in the Storm Sea. The crops from the New World, as well as the exotic gold ornaments and mysterious currencies, are unequivocal proof that he has indeed found a new world. ”

The old butler's rich life experience suddenly made him instantly understand the source of the pirate king's incredible measures in the future, and couldn't help but say: "Because he has indeed found a new world, he is ambitious, not only only wants to be the king of pirates, but also wants to become a real king, and rank with all the majestys on the mainland?"

In this regard, Mrs. Loriss just took a sip of milk tea lightly and smiled silently. In fact, Locelik wanted more, but he chose the wrong partner to work with, and he also underestimated the greed of those in high positions, and even more so the weight of a "crown".

"If you want to wear a crown, bear its weight first!"

The royal families of the continent are all ancient families that have been inherited since the dawn of war, and after experiencing countless tests of blood and fire, war and killing, conspiracy and betrayal, they have truly reached the top of the aristocratic world to subvert the real powerhouse.

Although there are many royal families on the mainland, there are only seven real "crown families", and the royal blood of almost all countries is not among the seven crowns, which is not without reason.

Even a famous queen family like the Robeck family, known as the top family of the crown that is not the crown, has never tried to get their hands on any certain crown.

Pirate King Roselik, a small pirate from a civilian background, is not satisfied with the status of the pirate king with his personal struggle and hard work, and wants to go further to seek a real crown, which is really too underestimating the heaviness of the certain "crown", and underestimating the order and rules that have been solidified in the mainland for thousands of years.

"By the way, this time we encountered pirates, how did we lose?"

"Fortunately, the pirates seemed to have intended for robbery, and did not set fire to the ships, and all the ships and cargo were intact, but twenty-five sailors under the command of the Knight of Hanbaney died, and Baron Grand lost not only more than fifty sailors, but also one vassal, the venerable Knight Hank, who died valiantly to protect his lord. and the unfortunate Lord Amster, one of his governesses who was also tragically killed in the melee......"

"Oh, poor Knight Hank, I remember him, a good man of good and honest truth, and his loyalty is worthy of praise from all!

Lady Loris first mourned for the poor Hank Knight for a moment, then frowned slightly, and asked, "It seems that the pirates are very strong this time, is it the pirate group, the Blood Skull or the Red Beard?"

"No, according to the Knight of Hanbaney, the pirates did not fly any flags this time, but calculated the purposeful ambush of their route!"

The old butler repeated the letter from the Knight of Hambaney, paused slightly, and then whispered, "The Knight of Hambani charges that this attack was planned by Sir Sterling of the 'Sea Tide' Firm......"

"Sir Stirling?"

Lady Loris couldn't help frowning slightly, Sir Stirling is a famous figure in the "Silver Tide City", he is a commoner, but he relies on his own hard work, from an ordinary sailor step by step to a captain, a merchant, and even has his own fleet and chamber of commerce, his inspirational story is legendary, is one of the typical representatives of the rise of civilians in the Silver Tide City.

However, none of this matters, the important thing is that Sir Sterling has a very close relationship with the Wave Trident family, and the "Sea Tide" Chamber of Commerce has a large stake in the Boston family.
