Despite the small disturbance, Alan still followed the guards who chased all the way to the battleship, and even Edward and the little priest Webber were also "invited" by the other party, and half-coerced to follow them on the ship.

Webber didn't have a big deal, and Edward ...... It seemed that there was no choice, and the fact that the other party did not immediately grab herself and throw herself into the sea proved that Mrs. Angelica did not want her life for the time being, at least until she went ashore.

As for the Oak Barrel, whose mast was broken, after Allen's persuasion, he agreed to let them connect the two ships with ropes, and drag them with a battleship until they repaired the mast, but no one would come to their aid, let alone talk about compensation or anything like that.

Captain Robben didn't resist this, and he didn't expect to get any benefit from these noble lords. It was a blessing to survive and arrive at Maple Leaf Port on time, as long as the cargo was sold, the loss of repairing the barrel could still be recovered.

"Mother has arrived at Maple Leaf Harbor?!" Alan in the captain's room chatted with the guard Tasso sitting in front of him while resting, and shouted in some surprise, "But she didn't say ...... when she set off"

"Your recklessness has really frightened Lady Angelica. The young guard had a very unspeakable wry smile on his face: "How dare we make any more stops after discovering that you are missing?" Madame even ordered that the goods and servants to be taken with us be reduced by half - I am afraid that we have indeed arrived at Maple Leaf Harbor now. ”

"It's not just me, but quite a few others have been sent out to find your whereabouts, and I'm afraid I'm the luckier one. Thinking of the hardships and dangers along the way, the guard Tasuo's face still had a little palpitation: "Of course, seeing that you are safe and sound, our encounter along the way is finally worth it." ”

In fact, what happened to him along the way was perhaps even worse than that of Edward's party—that night, when he went out to sea, there was no boat, and in the name of the Kwyn family, he finally got a slurry riverboat, and wanted to chase after him overnight, but he didn't want to go far before he encountered a torrential rain and nearly capsized.

Before they could rejoice that they had survived, they found themselves completely lost--there was no such thing as a compass on a boat in the river, not even a sail, so they had to row by manpower, and when they were dizzy from the sun and drank all the fresh water, the first ship they hit was still a pirate ship?!

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to catch up with a battleship of the fleet of the Kingdom of Turin at the same time, and the captain he actually happened to know, I am afraid that he would have been robbed by the sharks and thrown into the sea by that group of evil dregs!

"I'm sorry, but it's all because I'm so selfish and don't think about anyone else at all. Seeing Tasso's unbearable expression, Alan finally showed a somewhat apologetic expression with some embarrassment: "I really didn't expect that so many people would take such a big risk because of me......"

"That'...... Mother doesn't blame Edward for this...... I mean you, Squire Witwood, right?" suddenly thought of Allen, who seemed to be a little too "intimate" by name, and his embarrassed face turned red and quickly changed his words: "Actually, it's all my own opinion......"

"You're too worried, in fact, we can't even thank him...... It's the same for both Madame and us. ”

"We are all your servants, and this qiē is all as it should be. Although hearing the other party's apology made Tasso's heart feel a lot more comfortable, but as soon as he thought that this matter might be known to Mrs. Angelica, he hurriedly stopped Alan: "For us, this is an honor, not a pure duty as a servant. ”

In this way, it can only deceive a simple person like Alan-sure enough, the expression on the girl's face was much soothed, Tasso smiled slightly, helped Eren lay out the quilt, lit the incense in the bedside box to help calm the nerves, and quietly went out and closed the door for her.

Although it was a standard Turin battleship, as Alan said, it was also built to be able to sail the oceans, and the cabins were far larger than those of the Barrel, and even if two people were more spacious in a room, the beds and quilts were clean.

For some unknown reason, Edward and Webb's rooms were deliberately separated, and even far apart—there was no complaint about the little priest, who seemed to be forever imbued with an easy-going simplicity that could not be blamed, and a piety that even his mentor admired.

Before Edward could sit down and rest, there was a soft knock on the door outside the room. Tasuo, a guard in a dark blue smock, pushed open the door and entered the room with a slight smile.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest at this time, I know you're probably tired after last night's battle. The guard stopped in front of Edward, and his voice began to become a little hurried, "But there are some things that I may have to explain to you in person. ”

"The most important thing is not to be heard by any outsiders - I don't want to cause any misunderstanding. ”

"Of course, anything I can help with is within your reach. Edward chuckled, and the other man seemed nervous...... In other words, it was very important to him.

"Uh...... First of all, of course, I would like to thank you for protecting Young Master Allen for us, I just came out of the young master's room, and it is said that you have saved the young master from danger many times, and this gratitude is remembered by all the servants of the Kwen family!" Tasso's eyes were deliberately dodging, as if he was thinking about how to arrange his words.

"But, in the end, this job is still the duty of the servants of the Kwyn family, especially us ......guards," Tassel suddenly raised his head as he said this, "And as far as I know, the sword behind your back should belong to our leader, Tormund." ”

That is to say...... Captain Tormund must have been among you that night when you were fighting those evil pirates, right?, or you should explain to me the origin of that sword?"

"How do you know that this sword belongs to Captain Tormond?"

"I knew it. Tasso suddenly smiled triumphantly, but his hands were clasped tightly together...... He was nervous, and the brunette boy looked at him slightly, this guy was much more nervous than he looked.

"You can't be suspicious of me, are you?"

"How could I doubt Young Master Allen's savior?" he pretended to relax and straightened up, his hands on his thighs, and his expression looked like a hyena watching his prey: "You can tell me anything that happened that night, and I will hide it for you." ”

At this point, Edward finally understood what the other party's purpose was, but he was not completely convinced - this guard with the same name as himself was not a shrewd fellow no matter how he looked at it, but just a little greed, so he was not going to tell the truth.

"I did run into Monsieur Tormund that night—in fact he had been lurking on the Cask, secretly protecting Sir Alan until the last battle. If he hadn't sacrificed himself, I'm afraid I'd have been blown to pieces by ballistas. ”

"Tomond?sacrifice yourself?hahahaha......" Tasuo, who heard Edward's words, suddenly burst out laughing, and looked at Edward who "answered honestly" with a very proud voice: "I can understand the reason why you want to hide it, and I also know that you killed Tormund that night, you can't fool me!"

"I've always felt that meeting the same name in this world is a hint of the Radiant Cross, and we're both called Edward - so we should work together, so I've been silent until now. Guard Tasso suddenly became a lot more relaxed: "Think about what you think would happen if you let Lady Angelica know that you killed Tormond?"

"Then I would like to know what I can do to keep you from telling Lady Angelica about this?" Edward suddenly became intrigued, and he could see that the guard had something to ask for.

"It's simple, don't do anything...... I'll take care of it all - you've done the most complicated part, and you don't have to worry too much about the rest. Tasso smiled slyly, "Killing Tormund is the hard part of this collaboration, and you've done it." ”

"I'm guessing you want ......"

"That's right, I want what I should have gotten a long time ago - Lady Angelica's captain of the guard!" Tasso's face suddenly showed a little resentment: "I used to be the squire of the former captain of the guard - it was a respectable old knight, after his death, I should have inherited this qiē, but it was all snatched away by Tormond!"

"Now it's time for me to get a qiē back, and it seems that the side of justice must be the side of victory. Tasso's face was full of smug smiles, as if he had become Lady Angelica's captain of the guard, a knight: "Wait, little squire." When Madame rewards me, I will not forget your benefits. ”

After saying this, the guard Tasso seemed to have forgotten that Edward was still sitting next to him, and laughed arrogantly and smugly, a kind of conspiracy succeeded, as if this qiē was all the excitement he had planned, plus the pleasure of revenge, he staggered to his feet, and strode out of the room.

"It seems that the righteous side is not always the winning side. The guard's appearance of a demon made Edward smile, as if he was a little emotional: "But the victorious side must be the righteous side in the end!"
