I looked at Hilmy, but Hilmy narrowed her eyes and smiled, then turned away with a smile, leaving the matter to me entirely.

"Really...... "I said with a dry smile and turning to Uncle Keros, "we're still talking about it." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice for me to get married as soon as I return to the Coltfi Empire?" Keros coughed twice as he clenched his hands into fists, "I'm looking forward to your wedding, and now that Katifen and Elio have gone first, your Uncle Keros and Hilmy's father, Uncle Seaberton, will treat you as if you were a relative." ”

"Well...... "Relatives?" I'm a little stranger to this feeling, I haven't had a family member for five years.

"We'll think about that. I looked at Hilmy awkwardly, turning my back to us as if our topic had nothing to do with her, but it was my fault, and I couldn't explain it right now.

Without paying any more attention to the wedding, I turned to Keros and asked, "Uncle Keros, is there a coast nearby?" ”

I spread out my hands and waved the scene in front of me, and Keros immediately changed his face and immediately became stern.

"Indeed, this is not suitable for further sailing, and it will take at least three days for us to return to the Coltfi Empire. Keros shook his head, looked around a few times, and his brow furrowed as if he could distinguish the nearby sea.

After a while, he asked me to bring a wooden barrel, then took out a map from his bosom, and then nodded in an open space: "This is where we are now." ”

The open area, separated by a dotted line in the direction of the south, marks the unexplored area, and is surrounded by the same color, that is, there is no coast.

"If they go back like this, they may have to lie down for a few days. Kairos shook his head and said, "Nia, you have been far away in the Biel Empire for half a year, and you don't know much about the situation in the Empire, so I'm worried that you will suffer." ”

I can understand what Uncle Kairos is referring to, I have become a real nobleman, that is to say, I have a place in the political arena, and I have no one to deal with the nobles, and I have no allies in the political arena, so I will be ostracized.

Maybe I could hug the Tin of the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Seaburton, but if I regret my marriage, will he still help me?

Even if he was a team mate with my father, he couldn't back down on this, on the contrary, if I married Hilmy, I would be on the Chancellor's side, and this important figure would be enough to keep me from being ostracized and a bunch of people would come back to me.

I stared blankly at Hilmy, who had been married to him, which meant that I had abandoned Talilu......

"It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid. "I told Uncle Keros that at least I didn't want him to worry about me, and that I had a chance to think of it.

"By the way, I might need Uncle Keros to do me a favor now, I can't bring too many people with me when I go back, help me hide these guys if I can. I'll take them when I get the fief. ”

"You take a thousand people, and I have a way to hide the remaining one or two thousand. "Don't worry about that, most of the sons of the nobility actually form a private army before they reach adulthood, which is something that His Majesty Matthew Elman acquiesces in, so it doesn't matter if you take those private armies with you." ”

"That's fine. I answered, but at this moment suddenly there was a white fog everywhere.

"Hey, those guys, they don't pay attention to this, forget it, I don't care. Keros looked up at himself and muttered.

"What's going on?"

"There is a lot of fog at sea, and we usually avoid it, but there will be no reefs here, don't worry, there will be no obstacles within ten miles around, we have walked this sea route thousands of times. Kairos laughed and patted me on the back, but frowned slightly, "I'm just curious about the fog, I didn't notice the fog in front of me just now, and no one came to report to me." ”

I looked around, and the shadows of one or two ships around me could still be seen, but they were no longer clear in the distance, and the more I looked, the more wrong it became, and it seemed that the second ship began to be unclear as I passed, as if it was ......

The fog is getting thicker!

"Something is wrong?"

"Huh?" Keros was completely stern when he heard this, I called an elven magician to use the eagle eye technique on us, the elven magician obviously couldn't stand this kind of voyage, his face was very bad, he recited a spell in his mouth, and a few rays of light flashed on our eyes, and the perspective immediately became distant.

I looked around and seemed to see some strange shadow not far away.

"Huh? What seems to be?"

"What's there?" Calos looked in the direction I was pointing, and there seemed to be a very large shadow, a little ...... The arc of the ship!

The tall rails, the tightened sails, were just drifting on the sea, at least twice the size of our merchant ships! And there was a black flag that fluttered in the air.

It is a slightly damaged flag that looks very old, with a white velvet wolf-like image on the top and two crossed white bones below...... Black Flag ......

"Ahh

"Wolf's Head Flag! Black Flag! That's the Yvendack! It's a pirate ship!"

Sure enough! In my mind, the black flag, that's the pirate ship! Since it has been targeted! And it's not just a small ship! In the haze, more and more ships are in our sight! There are both front and rear! It can be said that we are surrounded!

"Damn!" Keros hurried towards the deck, then rushed to the bow of the ship, shouting to the surrounding ships, "Light the fire!

Hilmy walked over and asked suspiciously, "Black and white flags?"

"At sea, that's a sign of surrender to the pirates......" I frowned, also full of doubt, wondering why Keros did this, "Although we don't have much cargo if the pirates want to rob, there is no need to surrender." ”

"Maybe I know......" Hilmy's face didn't look too much, as if he was a little surprised, "Evendark, I've heard of this ship. ”

"The captain of the Evendark, the most evil pirate in history, Davis Drake, was encircled by the navies of various countries eight years ago, died in a naval battle, and then was resurrected by a magician with an extremely powerful resurrection technique. ”

"Resurrection!?" I was shocked, this is too much of a rebellion, although I am also the one who died once, and it was because I met Kira!"What magician can do this?"

Shilmi looked at me, I was stunned and jumped up!

"Kira!"

Soon the voice of Keros had reached all the cargo ships, and the sailors hurriedly hoisted their black and white flags, stretched out, and then lit fires so that they could see their flags clearly in the fog.

Quiet, everyone was waiting for a response from the other side, those boats did not sail, just drifting on the sea, and after so much time without any response, one ship after another, just quietly in front of us, as if the other party did not want to talk to us, or wanted to dry us again.

Kairos stared at the Evendack and swallowed, I knew exactly what he was thinking, he was worried that the ship on the other side would react in the way he wanted to hunt him!

However, in the midst of this long wait, the black flag hanging on the high rails of the first ship was lowered, but Keros was not relieved, because a red flag was quickly raised!

Boom! Keros sat down in fright, the red flag, that was the pirate's cruelty! They wanted to exterminate them all! And Keros was a businessman, a daring businessman who dared to smuggle, but in any case, he was just a businessman!

On the other side, there were all standard warships! There were all kinds of arrows on each ship, especially the Ivendack, and a few huge crossbows could be seen in the holes on the side of the ship! The huge hull could crush how many merchant ships they had if they drove forward! Not to mention those terrifying large arrows, and Keros's ship did not have much naval combat ability at all.

There is no artillery in this era, otherwise these wooden ships will become sawdust no matter how powerful they are, and there are no iron ships in this era, otherwise the arrows and crossbows will not be of much use.

I frowned, although this Davis Drake is a brutal pirate, but don't talk so nonsense, the flag is standing around, if you want it, you should just come out and talk and start fighting, but the other party just kept quiet, especially that Davis Drake, who didn't seem to show his face.

"Nia, what should we do now?Davis Drake, that's the most vicious pirate in history, we don't know how strong he is! But if he can alarm the encirclement and suppression of various countries, I don't think it is lower than the level of the eighth or ninth order!" asked Hilmy, a little worried.

"Don't worry, even if he's at the level of a paladin, he doesn't have to be our opponent. "I've got dragons, I've got elves, I've got trolls and giants," Hilmy, help me get Ywinnie, I'm afraid of these little wrecked ships with a dragon in hand?"

"Good. Hilmi rushed to the cabin when he arrived, and just then there was a slight noise from the boat.

A strangely dressed man appeared in front of me, standing on the bow of the Evendack, staring down at us, after a while, his eyes met me, frowning, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised a little arc: "I'm Davis Drake, everyone calls me the most evil pirate in history, you are lucky to have met me today, you ......"

"They all have to die. ”
