Chapter 42: On the Sea

This is an old merchant ship, this is a merchant ship provided by the Shadow Gate, the captain of this merchant ship, and one of the seven shadow heads of the Shadow Gate, her name is Elizabeth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She was a blonde woman, she was tall, she had the most perfect foundation for a beautiful woman, but she was not a beautiful woman, because her left eye was blind and covered by a black blindfold, and her face was covered with scars, although one can vaguely see that she once had a beautiful face, but now it is long gone.

"Are you a thief? A thief at sea, is he a pirate?" Terry had asked Elizabeth more than once.

"I am a thief at the Shadow Gate, and pirates are my enemies. Elizabeth had replied more than once.

This time, when Terry still wanted to ask Elizabeth like this, he was stopped by Joseph, and Terry decided that the thieves at sea were pirates, which made Joseph very helpless.

"Don't ask stupid questions, I can tell that our captain is eager to kill you right away. Joseph squinted, he looked at Terry, and smiled, as Joseph had behaved.

"Then tell me, are thieves at sea considered pirates?" Terry looked at Joseph innocently, sometimes Terry is really helpless, and Joseph will often be unruly to him.

"It's just a title, so why cling to it. Joseph said softly.

"But I ......"

"Yes, pirates, thieves at sea are pirates. Jessica, who was standing on the deck and was enjoying the scenery on the sea, quickly interjected, she nodded slightly at Joseph, who smiled helplessly.

"I'll just say it!" Terry shouted excitedly, Jessica looked at Terry and laughed, Terry is really a child, Jessica still thinks that Terry's personality is still quite interesting, although sometimes it can be very frustrating.

Spencer Jessica also joined Carmen Alicia's team, because she was very persistent in asking to follow everyone, no matter how ugly Miria said, Jessica just refused to leave, and Terry and Veronica also said good things for Jessica, Terry even pulled Joseph to help Jessica speak, Joseph was forced to say a few words, which caused Miria's eyes.

Eventually, Jessica followed Alicia and the others, while Spencer Philip was driven back to Polipoli in the Free Frontier by Jessica, and Philip needed to report his family's safety.

"Why the hell am I coming along......" Philip couldn't help but complain, but all he provoked was Jessica's fist, and in the end, Philip had no choice but to rush back to Polipoli alone.

Sailing on the sea always makes people feel very good, although the town of Polipoli where Jessica lives is also a port city, but in the Black Snake Sea, there is no stupid person who will sail on that side of the sea, so Jessica, who is on the seaside, usually does not have this opportunity to sail on the sea.

"The sea is so beautiful, I want to jump in and swim!" Jessica shouted excitedly at the sea.

"I can prepare a swimsuit for you!" Terry said to Jessica with a smile.

"Get out of here...... Jessica said to Terry, but instead of getting angry, she laughed and cursed.

"Hey, it's good to be young. Joseph couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Jessica and Terry laughing, and of course Veronica running over.

"You're only in your twenties, don't always be as good as an old man, right?"

Joseph turned his head sideways, but found Miria standing beside him, Joseph smiled at Miria, Miria ignored it, and looked at Jessica, Terry, and Veronica, and only after Joseph looked over there did Miria turn her head to look at Joseph.

"Terry always livens up the atmosphere and I like that about him. Joseph said softly.

"Oh? I'll have to ask Captain Elizabeth that question. Miria smiled slightly, Terry had been giving Elizabeth a headache lately, and it was already known to everyone.

"Hehe, people who are too enthusiastic and naïve will indeed bring some troubles to people. Joseph looked at Miria and smiled slightly, Miria's smile is very charming, usually Miria is not a person who likes to laugh, it is really rare to see her smile from the heart.

Miria saw Joseph staring at her again, so she quickly turned her head to the side, "Hey!" Miria couldn't help but sigh again.

"When it comes to being young, you're all young, but I'm different, especially when it comes to a winged man like me, who is almost two hundred years old. Miria said softly.

"As far as I know, a winged man who is less than two hundred years old is equivalent to a human being who is less than thirty years old. Joseph looked at Miria again.

"I don't know how the age of the Winged Humans compares to that of you humans, but I'm not middle-aged among the Wingmen. Miria whispered.

Miria suddenly felt very strange that she would talk so much to a human, and many times, it was she who took the initiative to talk to Joseph, and Miria couldn't help frowning again when she thought of this.

"Hehe, you're really disobedient. Joseph smiled, Miria quickly collected her eyebrows, she glared at Joseph, and quickly left his side, Joseph looked at Miria's back and smiled faintly.

At this time, Alicia, Tully, and Elizabeth, who was rejoicing in getting rid of Terry, were in the captain's room.

"Let's sail to Hellas Bay from here, and there won't be any trouble on the way, right?" said Tully, worried, as he looked at Elizabeth and waited for her response.

"Let's see if the pirates of Hellas Bay approve of us sailing into Hellas Bay. Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly.

"Are there pirates in Hellas Bay? Governor Roger Jones doesn't care?" asked Alicia, her eyes wide, incredulous.

"Little doll, don't you know that Anemone City in Hellas Bay is a huge pirate den?" said Elizabeth, looking at Alicia, impatiently.

"I've heard that it's said to be the home of the great pirate Blackbeard Gallorand. Alicia had only heard about Anemone City and the pirate Gallorand from books and troubadours' poems, and she had always wondered why Roger Jones, the ruler of Hellas Bay, would allow the pirates to run wild within her borders.

"Most of those pirates have the tacit approval of Roger Jones, that is, privateers, robbing the ships of the opposing faction, collecting land and sea fees, etc., these are all important economic resources of Hellas Bay, you can't be naïve to think that Roger Jones is a good man, right?" Elizabeth said angrily, obviously she did not have a good impression of Hellas Bay.

"I don't know if it's a good guy or not, but I do know that Roger Jones was a great ruler, and if these privateer fleets could make a good contribution to the territory of Hellas Bay, then I would agree with that, and people who are too good can't govern a country well. Alicia looked at Elizabeth and said solemnly.

Elizabeth was slightly surprised, she nodded slightly at Alicia, and she no longer dared to underestimate the young girl in front of her.

"From the large islands of the southern hemisphere of Ciris, such as Fimo, Obacos, or Bastura, if they want to sail to the continent of Yarrow, they will inevitably pass through the Gulf of Hellas, and if they do not resupply in the Gulf of Hellas, it will be difficult for them to enter the inland sea, so the Gulf of Hellas is like a coastal gate, and they control this sea, which is indeed a good deal. ”

Tully sighed at this, Hellas Bay occupies such an advantage, which even the Midtown Federation has no way to do, so the principle of the Midtown Federation has always been to befriend Hellas Bay, after all, the Midtown Federation cannot only count on the trade from the Osic continent, but not the trade of those island countries in the southern hemisphere of Ciris.

"Hey, let's hope the pirates can't stop us, and if they do, we'll probably die at their hands, after all, you're on a ship in the Gulf of Saruli. ”

Elizabeth laughed fiercely, she is a person who is not afraid of life and death, and if before she dies, she can see others die with her, it is not bad.

"If we are really unfortunate enough to be caught, then we should identify ourselves, and the identity of our emissaries should not be arbitrarily executed, right?" Alicia said softly, but she was not entirely sure......

In the evening, the ship was still sailing, according to Elizabeth, the storm was coming, she ordered Alicia and the others to stay in the cabin honestly, not allowed to leave, Alicia and the others would of course obey Elizabeth's orders, after all, in the face of the storm, their group of people could not do anything.

As time went on, the ship became more and more turbulent, and Elizabeth commanded the crew on the deck, fearlessly fighting the wind and waves, while in the cabin, Veroni couldn't stop vomiting, and Terry was beside him, patting him on the back, but to no avail.

Miria looked at Veronica in disgust, afraid that his vomit would fall on her, while Jessica looked at Miria angrily.

"Veronica is suffering! look at your unappetizing look!" Jessica yelled at Miria.

"Oh, our Miss Jessica isn't dirty, so why don't you help Terry clean up Veronica's vomit?" Miria said mockingly to Jessica.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid......," Jessica shouted, and when she walked up to Veronica, she stopped, looking at Veronica's vomit, and couldn't help frowning, and suddenly, even she wanted to throw up.

Jessica ...... Miss Jessica...... I'm fine...... Don't come near me......" Veronica vomited and waved her hand at Jessica, Jessica nodded slightly, and quickly ran away, Miria laughed contemptuously, and also stayed away from Veronica's side.

"Woman......" Joseph couldn't help but muttered as he watched all this.

Eventually, Joseph came together to help Terry dispose of Veronica's vomit, and when he was done, Joseph sat down next to Miria, who looked at Joseph, who smiled at her.

"You...... It smells of vomit......" Miria said with some dissatisfaction, and Joseph smiled wryly as he stood up and wanted to sit somewhere else.

"Forget it...... You just sit down. Miria muttered something to herself, and Joseph smiled and sat back down beside Miria again.

Elizabeth and her crew still struggle with the wind and waves, the storm is the enemy's fierce enemy, and only by defeating it can everyone be safe, otherwise the only thing in exchange is death. Alicia and the others are well aware of this, and at this moment, they can only believe in Elizabeth, but Elizabeth, who is one of the seven shadow heads of the Shadow Gate, will definitely not let others down.

In the rocking cabin, Alicia and Tully have their own agendas, this trip, from the beginning to the present, is really full of conditions, and there is still a long way to go to complete the whole trip smoothly......
