18. Earlobes

The yard behind Martha's house belonged to her private, because it was very close to the wall of the house, and far from the yard of the other houses, and there were some cabbages that she loved to eat, and she often came here to guard them, for fear that other neighbors' dogs would come and eat her vegetables.

Behind her, Aragina surveyed the quiet surroundings, and it was only when she got close that Fisher could smell a faint scent of her, as fresh as sea salt, the same color as her hair. The man's slender suit was very close-fitting, so Fisher also saw the tangible softness of her chest, proving that she was not a personable nobleman, but a young lady.

"A big pirate worth 7.5 million would actually appear on the streets of Nari with such a swagger, if it were me, I would definitely consider taking your head to the Sardinian country for a lifetime of glory and wealth."

Seeing that he had already walked into the courtyard, Fisher looked back at Aragina, who was observing the surroundings, and teased.

She looked back at Fisher, but her gaze remained at his Adam's apple, and she explained, motionlessly,

"Pirates, also taking some private orders... The employer conveyed the request to us through the intelligence trafficker, and this time the employer was more special, but the intelligence trafficker was killed, and I happened to meet the old man outside. ”

"Intelligence peddlers?"

Aragina nodded.

There was a murder on Karen Street, where Aragina had wanted to find the intelligence dealer who had placed the order for them, but before she could find him, she found that the man had been killed, and the scene was surrounded by the Nari police.

It can also be inferred that the Iceberg Queen appeared in Nanyang for the first time to fulfill an order from an employer in Nari.

"I see... You've helped Ms. Martha, and in exchange I should have given you something in return. ”

"A return gift?"

"Even if it's to fulfill a previous personal order, you're not supposed to go ashore as a pirate with a high bounty, unless there's something important that you need to come and negotiate in person... For example, about Nari's future funding of you. ”

Aragina's gaze flickered a few times, and this time, her gaze moved completely to Fisher's face, and she looked at him for a long time before she said calmly,

"You're not an ordinary person."

"I'm an academic, and I have a little bit of inside information."

“....”

After a moment of silence, Aragina reached out and took off the black gloves on her hand, revealing her fair-skinned palms.

"I've talked to them, and what Nari means is that they won't be making it easy for us for a long time to come, the port will no longer be open to us, and the navy will symbolically expel us."

“... That's pretty miserable. ”

As mentioned before, the three neighboring countries of the North Ocean are none other than Schwally, Sardinian and Nari, and if the ports of the last country are strictly restricted to the Iceberg Queen, it will be difficult for them to survive in the North Ocean, because the North Ocean is different from other oceans, and there are basically no islands to dock on.

For Nali officials, the so-called Iceberg Queen is just a chess piece that can be discarded, fed when it is used, and kicked away when it is not used. If it was Fisher, he would have been so angry that he would have started robbing Nari's ship.

After going ashore, Fisher, who got more information about the Four Pirates, learned that the Iceberg Queen only robbed Schwally's belongings and rarely endangered other people's lives, and the robbed ships could basically return with full capacity, so he brought so much news to Schwally.

"They gave me the choice, I could give up the boat and my partners on board, and they would provide me with political asylum."

Fisher shook his head in his heart, for the new party, political asylum is nonsense, they just want to temporarily hold the iceberg queen in their hands, as a card that can be attacked, retreated, and defended. If the relationship is good, hand over the iceberg queen, and then the relationship will go to the next level; If it's not good, let the iceberg queen out, and then grab it on the sea.

"You rejected them."

Arajina's expression rarely changed, but at this moment, her sapphire-like eyes revealed a palpable determination. Seeing her eyes as clear as the sky, Fisher suddenly remembered that he still had a necklace in his arms that Rena had stolen from her, and he should return it to her.

"I slew one of the princes of the kingdom of Sardinia, and fled to the sea with my sisters who had been in trouble with me that night."

In addition to the queen who lives in the center, there are many sub-feudal states that defend the center, and most of the feudal kings are the descendants of heroes or royal relatives, who are responsible for protecting the queen and pay tribute to the center.

"That woman was my mother, and she insulted my father and made my father die with hatred. The rebellion was my personal vendetta, and my sisters and friends were forced to flee to the sea for my personal vendettas, and I could not abandon them all day long, and now that it was my turn to make a choice, I could not abandon them either. ”

Her aristocratic handsome face had never changed its expression, but Fisher could always hear the waves of emotion in her undulating words.

It turns out that she is the descendant of a princess of the Sardinian kingdom, so it is no wonder that her temperament looks far from that of a pirate.

The sun was setting slightly, and I don't know where a night breeze blew, and the night wind actually blew up some of the white hair of the lady in front of her, so Fisher saw through the white hair that had been raised a little, and saw her small earlobe hidden underneath.

Contrary to her fair and calm countenance, the tiny and crystalline earlobes were now dyed with a visible layer of pink, which looked like the most delicious cherry.

Fisher was slightly stunned, and in the next moment, the white hair fell again, covering the earlobes that seemed to be flawed, leaving only the calm and cold Arajina.

"I see, I see," Fisher sighed, reaching into his arms and grabbing the cold necklace, "I said before that I'm a scholar who has been studying subhumans lately... A month ago, just after you left our ship, I caught a subhuman from the ocean. ”

"Subhuman?"

Aragina tilted her head slightly, chewing on the noun in Fisher's words.

"Ah, she said she stole a lady's belongings from a nearby ship, and she gave it back to me, I don't know if it's the valuables you're looking for."

He pulled out the blue necklace, and Aragina recognized at first glance that the necklace in Fisher's hand was the one she had lost.

Her dark blue eyes, like the jewels set in the necklace, twitched for a moment, then she looked straight at Fisher over the necklace she was holding.

The next moment, she suddenly stretched out her hand, her white hand gently pressed Fisher's chest, and suddenly pushed him against the wall of the courtyard next to her, just when Fisher frowned and wanted to speak, she looked down at Fisher extremely excessively, and said,

"Just... The lady I sent back was very talkative and she shared a lot with me about her wonderful child..."

At this point, Fisher, who had just wanted to make a move, stiffened slightly, because he suddenly remembered that the excuse he used to get rid of this guy last time was that he and Renee were married, but Martha knew her true situation, and she liked to sell her 28-year-old handsome and single Fisher when she saw him.

Could it be, she told Aragina so much, right?

Aragina bowed her head slightly, so that Fisher could not see her handsome face clearly, and could only feel her cold breath hitting her neck, and her calm and whispered voice came,

"She said, you're not married yet, and you really want a child?"
