Luo Luo walked up to the girl holding the book, "Little sister, are you alone?"

"Ah, I'm not the one the Whale Pirates are looking for, and I don't know the guy tied to the mast, I'm just a second-year cadet at Wallis Botanical College, you see, it's our school's badge. The girl hurriedly pointed to the wooden badge on her chest.

It's a pity that she didn't open her mouth, but when she opened her mouth, she panicked in her tone and confirmed her identity even more, Rob knew that the person the Giant Whale Pirate Group was looking for was her, but the future Super Magister was a little strange, at least the girl didn't lie about her identity as a student, and the people of the Giant Whale Pirate Group didn't know why they had to arrest this insignificant trainee.

Luo Luo said gently, "Don't worry, we are not bad people, just come over to see if there is anything you need help, if you encounter difficulties, you can come to us, we will live in room thirteen in the second class." After a pause, Luo Luo reminded the other party again, "Be careful of that half-elf guy over there, he's not a good person." ”

The girl nodded gratefully and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then she seemed to remember something, but closed it again.

After Captain Oden said what he had said before, he asked the ship's attendants to reopen the entertainment venues, and now the priority was to stabilize the mood of the people, worse than a pirate was panic, he had been a captain for so many years and knew better than anyone that once the panic began to spread among the passengers, it would cause many uncontrollable dangers, as for the guy hiding on the ship, he had done everything he could, given a deadline, and if the guy didn't want to see his companion exiled, he would come to see him at sunset。

As the crowd left the deck one by one, Captain Auden assigned four sailors to watch over the guy tied to the mast to make sure he wasn't rescued, and even if someone kidnapped him, there would be nowhere to escape in the middle of the sea unless they could take the Rokka.

At dusk, the sky was getting darker and darker, and Lolo was listening to Rob talk about the tricks of water magic in the cabin, when suddenly there was a knock at the door, and she got up to open the door and saw the little girl standing outside.

"Are you really willing to help me?" said the little girl, biting her lip, she could see that she was really desperate, otherwise she would not have come to ask for help from two strangers who only had a one-sided relationship.

"Let's tell me what's going on. Rob didn't give any promises, just said calmly.

Lolo waited for the girl to come in and closed the door again.

"I'm sorry I deceived you on the deck before, I was scared, my name is Ursula, and the people of the Whale Pirate Regiment should have come for me. ”

"How do you know they're looking for you?" the future Ultra Magister raised an eyebrow.

Ursula hesitated, "Uncle Barber told me, and he came to warn me. ”

"Barber is the guy who was tied to the mast, what is his relationship with you?"

"Uncle Barber is our family's bodyguard, well, in fact, our family can no longer be called aristocratic, my mother is making clothes in the tailor's shop, and my father is working as a bookkeeper, but even then Barber has not left us and protected our family. "About two years ago I left home to study in Wallis, and just five months ago I received a letter from home saying that my father was seriously ill and wanted me to go home immediately, so I asked for leave from the college, and then rushed all the way to the port of Sword Bend to catch the Liuhua, and met Uncle Barber on the first day of my voyage. ”

"You recognize him?"

"No, I wasn't on deck when he was rescued, he came to my room at night. "Ursula said," he said...... Very nervous, saying that he might be being watched, so he had to come to me in this way, and he seemed to have a premonition that this was happening today, and he didn't want people to find out about the connection between the two of us, except for the meeting that night, he didn't come to me again, and he usually pretended not to know me. ”

"Oh, why did Barber come to you?"

"He told me that the letter was a trap, that my parents and brother had died seven months ago, and that one day a group of masked men suddenly broke into my house and forced my mother to write the letter, and then began to kill people without saying a word, and Barber protected my six-year-old brother and rushed out of the house, but my brother was eventually shot through the head by a cold arrow, and only Barber himself survived, and he wanted to come to the Free City State to warn me, but he was being hunted down along the way, and Barber said that the other party was very powerful, and told me not to think about revenge。 ”

"How did he know you were on the Rokka?"

"It's a blood ring. ”

"Huh?"

"A magic prop inherited from our family's ancestor, you can use that ring to detect the approximate location of family members, but only the family bloodline can use the blood ring. ”

"Oh, then why can your clan guard Barber use it?"

"Barber's ancestor married a woman from our family, so he actually has our family's blood, and everyone treats him as a family member in normal times, and no one really treats him as a guard. Ursula explained, "He disguised himself as a drowning man and came on board to find me. ”

"Wait, but what about that female overboard?" asked Lolo.

Uncle Barber said it was the body of a death row inmate he had stolen, in order to add credibility to his identity as a man who had fallen overboard. ”

Well, that explains the strangulation marks on her neck, the hanger's wounds, and why he was able to hit the Rokhua in the thriving shipping lane. Rob tried to put together the clues he got, "The other party is obviously coming for you, but they didn't go directly to the academy to find you, but forced your mother to write to you to let you go home, which shows that the other party doesn't want to do anything in the free city-state, but why would they go to the extra mile to let Barber go?"

"Uncle Barber was not let go, but ran out on his own. Ursula argued.

"No, he survived because the other party didn't want to kill him at all, and the bloodline ring on his hand was magically located, otherwise why do you think the people of the Giant Whale Pirate Group can intercept the Liuhua so accurately in the vast sea?"

"What?" Ursula was taken aback.

"Well, it was a trap from the start. His Excellency the future Supermage concluded, "The gang that captured you didn't know what you looked like, so they deliberately let Barber go and used him to confirm your identity and location, but then again, what exactly did they have in you that they had to get?"
