Volume 1 • Across the Seven Seas [098] Rise and Fall
After autumn, the temperature in the Nanami drops by seven degrees Celsius.
Those who are able to do so have to change into autumn clothes, while the poor can only pray that there will be no snow when winter comes, otherwise the winter will be difficult.
Every winter, people freeze to death, and for orphans, beggars, and the elderly, winter is like a deadly death.
Iron Cloth Island, O'Herly Palace, Liam with a wicked smile, reached to the waist of the maid who was arranging her collar, the maid trembled slightly, and then continued to arrange Liam's clothes with a red face, but her movements were significantly slower.
Compared with Jobs's stubbornness and seriousness, Liam is just the opposite, he looked ruffian when he was young, and after middle age, he became cynical and frivolous and casual, but became extremely charismatic, and he was completely a bad uncle who was not serious.
But it has to be said that he is much more humane than Jobs, at least he rarely punishes servants, and treats servants with tolerance for occasional mistakes.
With a wicked smile, he gradually moved his hand up, and finally gently stroked the maid's pretty face, and asked, "I haven't seen you before, new here?"
"Lord Huiyu......" The maid was slightly flustered, and quickly bowed and replied.
But Liam interrupted: "Don't be so serious, I'm not a man-eating tiger, what's your name?"
"My name is Gray Li. The maid replied.
Liam reached out and pulled the hair from her gray cheeks behind her ears, and said gently, "Dusty pearl, not a bad name, but ...... Will you let me wipe the dust off you?"
"Big ...... Now, my lord...... It's daytime. Gray Li blushed and bowed her head.
Liam squinted and smiled: "The day is not right, when I wipe the dust off your body, it is just the time when your pearl shines, the day ...... I can see it more clearly. ”
"My lord......" Gray Li felt that her body was a little soft.
But at this moment, Liam's butler walked in, bowed, and said, "My lord, the Iron Guard has received news that the Pirate Queen has besieged the Pirate's son a week ago and has fallen. ”
Liam, who was still smiling, had a frozen expression on his face, and the whole room became extremely quiet.
"Big ...... Are you alright, my lord?" said Gray Li, a little worried.
Liam glanced at Gray Li coldly, and was tasteless: "Go down, you don't have to come over in the future." ”
"Big ...... My lord?" Gray Li couldn't react, what did she do wrong?
If she had left honestly, she would have been able to save her life, but her hesitation had hurt herself.
In an instant, Liam's breath became very violent, and by the time the furious aura had subsided, the young and pretty maid had completely disappeared, leaving only the blood-stained clothes to fall to the ground.
"If you keep talking, why can't you be obedient?"
Liam's face was gloomy, and he sat on the edge of the bed and ran his hair haphazardly.
Everyone has secrets in their hearts that they don't want to tell others, and Liam naturally has secrets too.
Because he liked a maid when he was a teenager, but that maid was his father's lover, so after learning the truth, he didn't dare to reveal his true feelings again.
This is a kind of emotional barrier, and the more he likes the person, the more he will pretend to care.
In fact, when he first met the Pirate Queen, he liked the Pirate Queen very much in his heart, but the more he liked the Pirate Queen, the more he was businesslike, almost everything was based on interests, and he didn't show any love in front of the Pirate Queen at all.
But in fact, his love for the Pirate Queen is almost growing day by day.
He knew very well that the Pirate Queen would never accept him, because the Pirate Queen was a blood supremacist who had already booked her husband.
However, he was not reconciled, so he assassinated the so-called pure-blood husband of the Feather People on the seventh day after the Pirate Queen's marriage.
The Pirate Queen did not marry again, as he wished, but gave birth to a daughter after October, and since then he has behaved more 'justly' and has never 'favored' Tamashima.
The room was silent, and the butler silently picked up the maid's clothes, bowed, and turned to leave.
Liam suddenly cried in a low voice, covering his mouth with one hand, and crying very sadly.
"We need revenge. ”
At this moment, a gray apparition appeared behind Liam's back, and he bewitched Liam.
Liam wiped away his tears and whispered, "But we are no match for the Pirate's Son, he is too strong. ”
When he was in the Deep Sea Canteen, after he learned that Hawkins's mana power was dozens of times that of a normal spellmaster, he knew in his heart that he was not Hawkins' opponent.
Mana power really doesn't equal combat power.
But now Hawkins has proven his prowess, and the Pirate Queen is the best example of this.
The gray phantom said faintly, "So you can summon more brothers and sisters, in fact, you are the strongest lord of the seven seas, aren't you?"
“......”
Liam didn't answer, just lowered his head, the shadow completely covering his face, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
......
In just one week, the news of the Pirate Queen's defeat spread like the wind throughout the Seven Seas.
Although there were no witnesses to this battle, because the battlefield was not far from Sean Village, and the Black Knife later returned to Sean Village to reorganize the fleet, there were many witnesses afterwards.
There are a large number of middlemen in Sean Village, and these merchants are the most well-informed, which is why the news of the Pirate Queen's defeat will spread so quickly.
At this point, Hawkins' power was at its peak.
All the forces within the Seven Seas are discussing how strong Hawkins is and predicting where the Black Knife Pirates will go next.
Many have speculated that the Black Knife Pirates will travel to Jade Island.
The reason is very simple, Jade Island is the base camp of the Pirate Queen, and since the Pirate Queen has died in battle, it is a matter of course to take Jade Island.
Many forces are waiting to see a good show.
The Pirate Queen's daughter, the Pirate Princess, is still on Jade Island, what choice will she make?
In fact, the pirate princess, the daughter of the pirate queen, has not many options to choose the back road, either to rectify the remnants, abandon Jade Island and avoid the Black Knife Pirate Group, and become a pirate force adrift on the sea again.
Either stick to Jade Island and die at the hands of Hawkins.
If it was in the past, the Pirate Queen Pirate Regiment competed with the Black Knife Pirate Regiment, and no one would see the Black Knife Pirate Regiment, but now it is the opposite, no one will be optimistic about the Pirate Queen Pirate Regiment, because Hawkins has proven his strength.
Everyone is waiting to see what to do, especially since many of the pirate forces are considering whether or not to join the Black Knife Pirates.
......
Jade Island.
The pirate princess sat on a reef in a daze, watching the waves rise and fall, completely in a state of wandering in the world.
She still couldn't accept the fact that her mother was defeated, but now the whole Jade Island was in chaos, and she was not as strong as many forces predicted, and even had the heart to integrate forces, but hid alone in this remote beach in a daze.
In the past, she had always looked up to her mother and listened to her earnest teachings.
It can be said that she is the number one brain-dead fan of the Pirate Queen, and she never thought that the Pirate Queen would be defeated.
She still remembered what her mother said to her before she left, when her eyes seemed to glow, and she even imagined in her mind the image of her mother's triumphant return.
But it turned out to be a bolt from the blue, and my mother was killed in battle.
How is this possible?
The pirate princess's eyes were red, and after she was born, the pirate queen began to plan to reduce the number of shots, and by the time she was sensible, the pirate queen had never made any more moves.
So she listened to a lot, but it was all a mythical story, and each time it ended with the victory of the Pirate Queen.
But why is the reality different?
"The Pirate Princess is here!!"
Suddenly, there was a shout in the distance, and the pirate princess looked up at the shore in the distance, only to see several pirates rushing over excitedly.
Her face was slightly cold, she slowly stood up, patted the dust on her clothes, and waited for the pirate to get closer before she spoke, "What's the matter?"
"Princess, the Queen has been defeated, and now we need you. One of the pirates spoke.
The pirate princess came down from the reef, and she knew that she had to cheer up, after all, there were still many civilians on Jade Island who needed her protection, and the pirates also needed her to command.
"Let's go. She crossed a couple of pirates and prepared to return.
But before she could take two steps, a dagger suddenly stabbed into her waist, and she immediately screamed in pain, and then fell on all fours on the ground.
"You...... You guys!"
At this moment, she finally reacted, these pirates were obviously villains.
Several pirates showed a triumphant smile, and the pirate who made the attack smiled: "Princess, don't blame me, we just want to live, as long as we sacrifice you to the king of pirates, I believe that the king of pirates will definitely not mind sparing my life." ”
"Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?" said the pirate princess angrily.
The pirate couldn't help but laugh and said, "If there is still a conscience, who will go to sea to be a pirate? ”
"Okay, don't be verbose, let's quickly tie her up and leave, otherwise we will definitely cause trouble if someone else finds out." Another pirate spoke.
Several people immediately stepped forward, but one of the pirates grabbed the pirate princess's arm when she was stabbed in the throat by the pirate princess's sudden growth of feathers.
"You bastards, give me death!"
In an instant, the pirate princess's clothes exploded, and colorful feathers grew all over her body, killing several pirates in an instant.
She stood on the beach with her waist clutched, inhaling heavily, the wound would not heal for a while, and she did not know who else on the island could trust.
"Pirate ......"
Eventually, after a long sigh, she spread her wings and flew quickly in the direction of Tiebu Island.
She doesn't trust Liam, but because Jade Island has a private trade relationship with Tiebu Island, she is very familiar with Tiebu Island, and she is going to go to Tiebu Island to find a suitable place to recuperate
After she left, Tamashima fell into a leaderless state.
Several small chieftains began to fight for power, and fled from Jade Island with a lot of treasure, and Jade Island, which was once prosperous because of the pirate queen, eventually fell into decline because of the pirate queen.
