Sapphire Seas, the third day of the Black Fantasy's departure.

Because the Twilight was disguised as a merchant ship, most of the routes set by Andler for Horseen were offshore, and only in some special places, such as the presence of pirate ports along the coast, would it sail far to sea.

The three days of departure had been peaceful, and the Horsen had not encountered any pirate ships, but had encountered two naval patrol vessels, but only from a distance, and perhaps the navy lookout had discovered that the Twilight was a merchant ship, so the two naval ships did not come any closer.

Although there are many cases of pirates masquerading merchant ships in the Sapphire Sea, the navy doesn't really care about this.

In fact, most navies think the same thing, they don't want to run into pirates themselves.

After all, encountering pirates means that there will be casualties, and who can guarantee that it will not be them who will die?

Honor for the Navy?

Faith in the Navy?

Come on, that's just for those hot-blooded teenagers with illusions.

With the exception of Mogg, who was bent on climbing up, or who hated pirates, the other navies would not joke with their lives unless they collided with the pirate ship face-to-face.

Andy stood on the deck of the Twilight, frowning and contemplating as he looked at the calm sea.

From the time he went out to sea, he had a faint premonition that made his heart palpitate, as if to indicate that his action would not be as easy as he imagined.

Although nothing has happened to the Twilight in the past three days, it has made Andy's heart more and more uncertain.

On the deck, there were more than a dozen pirates wearing guard clothes and servant clothes, and they subconsciously stood far away from Andy, sneaking a glance at Andy from time to time, their eyes full of fear.

Two days ago, the guy who didn't know how to live or die because of Howson's curses, hated Howzen, and in the middle of the night held a sharp dagger, trying to sneak into the captain's room and kill Andy.

Outcome......

The disgusting corpse, which had been reduced to shriveled carrion, was still at the edge of the captain's room, and above the corpse, a black mist appeared from time to time with a hideous face with fangs, and his soul was trapped there, wailing in pain.

Huofang used his life to warn all the pirates on this ship that it would be unimaginable to provoke Andy.

Margaret, dressed in a long white dress, stood beside Andy, her long blond hair fluttering behind her head, and the sun poured down, making this aristocratic girl look innocent and full of vitality.

She leaned lazily on Andy's shoulder, black flames dancing on her white fingers.

"Andy, you said that the power in my body really comes from my mother?"

"That's how it should be...... To be honest, the first time I saw the curse mark on you, I thought it was a conspiracy by someone else against Norrington, but I later found out that it was a curse that guarded you. ”

"When you fall into despair, this power will become your hope. ”

Andy looked at the flames on Margaret's fingers, feeling the hidden power in them, and said in a deep voice.

"Your mother is most likely a witch, and her power should come from the legendary Aztec civilization, and you said before that your mother was from the Western Empire, so it is even more likely. ”

The army of the Spotted Empire has gained a lot of benefits from the destruction of the Aztec civilization, and as a member of the Spotted Empire, as long as Margaret's mother has the status to have access to this matter, she is likely to get that kind of power.

The most important thing is that Baron Townsend has always been secretive about Marg's mother, and has never talked openly and honestly with Margaret, which is also the basis for Andy's suspicions.

"So, is this from my mother's protection?"

Margaret looked at the flame with a dazed look in her eyes, she pursed her lips and hugged Andy tightly.

Since that night......

Margaret found that her magic was growing rapidly, even to the point of terrifying her, as if Margo's giving her body to Andy was a key, and this key opened the box of hidden magic in her body.

After a fun night on the Twilight, Margaret tells Andy about it, and Andy is surprised by this phenomenon of explosive magic, so these days, he has been studying it.

Final conclusions......

Perhaps this is a mother's last blessing to her daughter.

However, Margaret's increased strength is something to celebrate, after all, she is now Andy's woman.

"My lord, a naval ship has appeared in front of you. ”

Horsen ran down from the stern of the ship, handing over a worn-out telescope and pointing to the Twilight's front.

"Navy ships?"

Andy was stunned, under the route planned by Andrew, it was impossible for them to have a head-on encounter with a naval ship, unless......

The ship left its course.

"It's kind of interesting......"

Andy took the binoculars and looked over there, and sure enough, the naval ship that was sailing towards them was very damaged, and it seemed that it had just experienced a fierce battle.

On this two-masted naval ship, one of the auxiliary masts has been broken, the sails have also been badly damaged, and the light smoke is still rising from the stern, and it seems that the fire has only been extinguished for a short time.

It's just not known if they defeated the pirates or were defeated by the pirates.

However, looking at the unhurried appearance of this naval ship, it should be the former, after all, if there were pirate ships chasing them behind, those navies would not be in this state.

"My lord, should we change course......

Howson asked, keeping this direction, the Twilight should have "rubbed shoulders" with the naval ship, and the distance between the two would not exceed a hundred meters in a straight line.

At this distance, they could almost see each other on the opposite ship.

"No, keep this direction, just experienced a terrible battle, I don't think those navies should be interested in doing anything to us, after all, there is a risk. ”

Andy thought about it, and he returned the telescope to Hawson, which was one of Hawson's treasures, although it was already tattered.

"Andy, do you want those guys to get their artillery ready?"

Andre came over from the side, and it seemed that the sudden appearance of a naval ship made his heart hang with it, the pirates on the Twilight were ordinary guys, and they couldn't compare to the Black Fantasy, their guns were just as old, and even the ammunition was not enough, so Andler had to worry.

Andy looked at the gun ports on the deck and shook his head.

"Don't forget, we are now a merchant ship and cannot show hostility to naval ships...... Although the Navy ship looked bad, the dilapidated Twilight ...... A few shots will be blown up and sunk. ”

Andler nodded helplessly, squinted at the approaching naval ship, and walked over to Herman.

"Go back to the captain's quarters, Marge, and tell Anna not to come out yet. ”

Margaret kissed Andy on the cheek and ran back to the captain's cabin with a grin, Andy chuckled, touched his finger, and took off the skull ring and put it in his pocket.

......

"Sir, the merchant ship in front didn't slow down, didn't adjust its course, they didn't have the Chamber of Commerce flag, aren't we ......?"

A navyman with a clean strip of cloth wrapped around his body and black ash and blood stains on his face put down the binoculars in his hand and said to the admiral beside him.

The Colonel squinted his eyes and groaned as he looked back at the bloodstained sailors on the deck and the dozen or so pirates tied up with thick cables.

"I don't know if it's a pirate in disguise, be careful when approaching for a while, and if they take the initiative to attack, then turn away, if they don't attack...... Take the initiative to lean in, as a merchant ship, I think there should be some potions prepared on it, even if it is not alchemy......"

The colonel sighed, and in the captain's room, there was a girl lying unconscious, her face was a little pale and bloodless, and her abdomen was tightly wrapped in a thin white cloth several times, but it still could not stop the blood from flowing out......

"Varina, if you die here......"

The colonel clenched his fists, this girl was about his future, and he must not allow this to happen.

The two ships were getting closer and closer, and Andy could see that on that ship, a tall man in a naval officer's uniform was looking at them with his glasses, as if to determine something.

Then the guy said something to the people around him, and the whole naval sailing ship began to turn.

Andy's eyelids twitched twice, and he shouted at Horsen and the other pirates on deck.

"I'll be normal for a while! I don't think you'll do less to disguise merchant ships, and if that stupid guy makes us be suspected, that toothless guy is your example!"

The pirates on deck were silent, their expressions fearful, their heads bowed, and they did not speak.

"Horseman, throw that guy's body into the sea!"

Andy waved his hand, and the spirit on the corpse flew towards him, and then fell into his hands and disappeared, while Horsen gritted his teeth, held his breath, hugged the disgusting corpse, and threw him into the river.

Andy scanned the deck and was relieved to see that nothing was missing.

Keith, who had been hanging from the mast, had been thrown into the sea by Horsen yesterday because Anna was tired of him being hung above her head.

"They're coming. ”

Andy squinted, left the railing, and walked behind Herman, standing behind him with Andler.

After three days of good food and drink, Herman looked in good spirits, at least his face looked much better, he had four gold rings on his fingers, and a jade wrench.

That's what Huo Sen has accumulated over the years, and of course, it's also to make himself a little more like a businessman when he disguises himself.

Herman looked around the deck, cleared his throat, and walked to a wide area.

"Despicable bastards, be careful with my goods! That's gold! Shining gold! Damn it, if you get wet in the sea, your lives won't be enough to compensate me for my losses!"

Andy and Andler glanced at each other and saw the shock and smile in each other's eyes.

Herman this guy...... It really surprised them.

Because the other side changed direction, the situation that should have passed by the Navy ship another hundred meters away did not happen, and the Navy ship was only a dozen meters away from the Twilight, and a Navy soldier shouted for the Twilight to anchor here.

"Do as he says. ”

Andy whispered that he didn't want to get into trouble, and that if the Twilight was sunk on the vast sea, all that awaited him was death.

Herman was stunned, then he puffed up his voice and shouted to the sailors on deck, "Do you hear, you fools!"

The pirates scrambled to drop anchor and pull down the sails to make sure the Twilight wouldn't be blown away by a gust of sea breeze.

The same was true of the Navy ships on the other side, leaning against the Twilight to stabilize themselves, a long plank erected to connect the two ships.

And the navies on the Navy ship, with their muskets in hand, look like they're threatening the guys on the Twilight.

Herman's originally smiling face darkened, and he took a few steps forward and said to the admiral who came from the plank:

"What do you mean, Lord Admiral?"

Herman looked at the heavily guarded soldiers on the naval ship, his voice low.

"I'm sorry, but there are always quite a few pirate ships in the Sapphire Sea that disguise themselves as merchant ships, so we have to be careful...... What's more, you don't have a Chamber of Commerce flag, and you know, pirates like to disguise the most are merchants who can't find their origins. ”

"Hah!"

Herman laughed loudly, fumbled through his clothes, took out a gold badge, and dangled it in front of the colonel.

"Know this?"

It was the merchant badge of the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce, and Herman had been hiding it on his body, even if he had been captured before, and no one else had found it.

"St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce? I'm sorry...... Hopefully, you can understand that in the Sapphire Sea, it's always good to be cautious. ”

The colonel raised his eyebrows in some surprise, he breathed a sigh of relief, the identity badge of the St. Mary's Chamber of Commerce was made of a special alchemical material, and there was no possibility of counterfeiting.

He waved his hand, and the soldiers on the naval ship behind him lowered their muskets.

"Although this is a bit presumptuous, I still have to ask, ...... the flag of your Chamber of Commerce"

Hearing this, an unnatural look appeared on Herman's face, and he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I met pirates in the Sacred Sea before, and although I repelled the other party, the entire merchant ship was blown up, and there was no way to sail long distances, and the flag was also burned. ”

"This ship was hired by me temporarily, after all, there is still cargo. ”

Herman muttered, pointing to the neatly arranged wooden boxes on the deck, his face angry.
