readx;? After Farama leaves, his little maid, Leanne, returns. When www.biquge.info was helping Linya tidy up the room, she suddenly couldn't help but laugh. Linya asked, somewhat inexplicably, "Annie, what are you laughing at?"

"Well, Princess Linya, I think you and the captain are really an interesting couple. Anne tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"What do you mean, why do you say that?" Lynya was still confused.

After the busy work, Leanne came to Linya's bedside, sighed and said: "Princess Linya, you may not know it, the captain used to be the eldest son of the duke, the future duke! The experience of the captain eventually becoming a pirate is very exciting, maybe after listening to the captain's story, you will have a general idea of what kind of person the captain is - he is very strong on the outside, but in fact, he has always been very gentle and kind on the inside!"

Count Farama Dictor was originally the eldest son of the Duke of Dycht in County Highlande, Kingdom of Roenmina, and the future Duke of County Highlande. At the age of eighteen, he graduated from the Royal Naval Academy and returned to his hometown to use his family's financial resources to form a family fleet.

During that time, the kingdom of Ron Mina in the north and the kingdom of Sicarlet in the south, as well as the pirates of Lanun, fought for control of the sea area at the mouth of the Milai River.

Count Farama was a man of integrity, and although the two countries did not declare war openly, it was not uncommon for Sicardlet's warships to disguise themselves as pirate ships to attack passing merchant ships. Captain Farama often led his fleet to patrol the estuary, protecting the merchant ships that were in regular traffic, and battles with privateers and pirate ships were not uncommon.

In just one year, the battleship Courage under his command sank at least four pirate ships. Lane Anne was the daughter of a merchant shipowner, but her father's ship was sunk by pirates, killing all her family and capturing her by pirates, but Captain Farama's fleet arrived in time to save her life. She has been by the captain's side ever since.

His courage and perseverance are admirable, but they are also the calamities he has incurred. As a result, his Spirit was once guided into the encirclement of the privateer by a misguided message, and when it was about to sink after a hard battle, the sudden arrival of the Lanun pirate fleet scared the privateer away, and the Spirit was saved.

Boglath, the king of pirates, admired Captain Farama for his courage and will, as well as his nobility and integrity, calling him "the man of the sea". Boglaat told Faramar that the Lanun pirates did not collect protection money in the waters of the Milay estuary, and that Lanun's pirate ships had never been to the area. They had heard that someone was looting in the waters under the guise of the Lanun Pirates, so they came to see what was going on.

The pirates of Lanun helped Captain Farama repair his ship. When Farama returned, he began to investigate the source of the clues, only to be surprised to find that the Admiralty of his country had joined forces with some of Sicarlet's important ministers to set a trap to put him to death, and the matter even implicated the royal families of Sicarlet and Rhonmina. It turns out that these navies usually patrol as naval warships, but secretly disguise themselves as pirate ships to attack innocent ships that pass by, and these pirate ships have privateering licenses issued by their respective royal families, and they only need to hand over a part of their looting proceeds to the king, becoming "legal" pirates.

Where is the dignity of the law?Where is justice?Where is justice?Angry Captain Farama goes home to ask for his father's support, only to find out that his father is also a member of a privateer! Their Dickt family actually rose to become a duke and nobleman who ruled a county by privateering!

In despair, Captain Farama immediately broke with his father. He went to sea with the Spirit and the fleet, and from then on he became a wandering ship on the sea, with no base, no supplies and no source of funds. But even so, the Spirit has been stubbornly fighting privateers, barely surviving on the help of merchant ships and the spoils captured in battle.

But after all, ideals cannot defeat reality. With no future, the crew lost hope, and the other ships in the fleet were scattered, and in the end he was left with only one Spirit, and half of the sailors were gone. The privateer once again surrounded the Courage, and after a bloody battle, the Courage finally sank, but the Lanurn pirate fleet reappeared, surrounding and destroying the privateer. Captain Farama and the last remaining crew members were fortunate to be saved.

Captain Farama did not hesitate to join the Lanuen pirate group. Boglath gave him the Virgin Star and expressed his desire to let him succeed to the position of Pirate King. But Captain Farama refused, hoping to rely on his own efforts to gain fame, qualifications, and strength to become the Pirate King, rather than a gift from someone else.

Listening to Leanne tell the story of Captain Farama with a happy face, Linya suddenly had a very strange feeling. But she couldn't say what it felt.

"The captain was actually a very kind man, even if he was often fierce and violent. His Royal Highness, in fact, he really doesn't want to hurt you. Leanne said again. "He hates the bad guys who look good on the surface but actually do nothing evil, he cares so much about his crew, he must have thought you were going to be confused and eat his sailors, so your actions made him angry. ”

A kind and righteous man who lives under the mask of evil. Interesting.

It's really stuffy in the cabin. After a day of rest, I feel that the injuries on my body have almost healed, my magic has basically recovered, and my safety is fine. Linya finally decided to go out for a walk and went out on deck, accompanied by Leanne. This time, the sailors were obviously much stranger when they saw Linya's eyes.

"Why...... They hate the Kraken so much? Such a beautiful mermaid wouldn't do anything bad. Linya asked Leanne a little strangely.

"It is said that many shipwrecks are related to the Kraken, and there is also the terrible Kraken Song, which can completely confuse people and lose their minds, and of course it is very scary as a sailor. Leanne smiled wryly. Linya could only shake her head, but she couldn't explain anything to the mermaids.

The Virgo Star rested on the surface of the sea. The wind was light, the sails were folded, the water looked shallow, the white seabed was full of colorful coral reefs, yes, colored corals!

"Wow! it's beautiful!" Linya happily ran to the side of the boat, which was a circular reef area surrounded by corals growing on the bottom of the sea, and the waves were blocked, becoming a paradise for fish and sea creatures, and countless fish shuttled between the reefs, like a dreamlike world.

Oddly enough, however, she noticed that some of the sailors on the Star Virgo were also swimming underwater. What's even stranger is that there is more than one other ship parked in the other reef rings in the distance, and it is not known what they are doing. "Miss Anne, what's going on with those boats, and what are they doing in the water?"

"Your Highness Linya probably doesn't know yet, this sea is the most famous source of colored pearls in Grecia! It's the pearl diving season, so everyone has come here! If you're lucky enough to pick a big pearl, it's worth hundreds of gold coins!" Leanne said with a smile.

Linya noticed a string of colorful pearl necklaces deliberately exposed on her chest, the one at the bottom of which was large and eye-catching, and of course beautiful. Seeing her somewhat proud expression, Linya smiled lightly, "Miss Annie, this must have been given to you by Captain Farahma, right?"

Leanne nodded a little shyly, a happy smile on her face. A beautiful aristocratic lady, when she was robbed by bad people, her ship was wrecked, she was reduced to a prisoner, and she was about to become a slave, when an elegant, noble, brave and powerful hero appeared, he eliminated the villains and rescued the beautiful lady who was in distress. Since then, beauties and heroes have been accompanied by each other, and a romantic love story has unfolded. Is that so?

At this moment, a sailor suddenly came out of the water, raised his arms and cheered excitedly, "I have picked a large colored pearl!" The sailors on the deck rushed to the side of the ship and exclaimed. The sailor held a bead the size of a small egg in his hand, and the excitement on his face was uncontrollable.

Wow, such a large colored pearl is such a rare thing, and it is indeed very, very valuable. Hey, these pirates actually come to pick pearls themselves? It doesn't seem like what Captain Farama said yesterday. "Those ships ......," Linya asked, gesturing to Leanne as she pointed to the ship in the distance, "Miss Annie, are they pirate ships too?" ”

"Those are indeed merchant ships. But it doesn't matter, they have all paid protection fees, so they can pick anything here, and as for whether they can pick good things, it depends on their own skills and luck. ”

"Conservation money?" Linya remembered that she had mentioned it in the captain's story.

"Yes, the entire area of Gatas belongs to the sphere of influence of the Lanun pirate group, and all ships entering this sea area must pay protection fees according to the capacity, size and time of the ship, and with the proof of payment, these ships can sail safely in the waters of Gatas without worrying about the attack of the Lanun pirate ship. The protection money received by each ship was to be handed over to the pirate headquarters in the port of Inmus. As for the pearls collected by the sailors, they only need to hand over 10% to the captain, and the rest is their own. ”

Leanne's explanation made Linya a little stunned. Isn't this protection money like a tax?And the pearl-diving ships, and the pirates' capital bases, and she suddenly realizes that these pirates are not the same ones she told Farama yesterday?But why does he refuse to admit it? If they are really such well-behaved pirates, how can this pirate group be so different from an ordinary state power?
