With the sun shining high and the sky clear, the Leonard floats in the endless Sea of Cordo.

In the distance, a few ships passed by from time to time, but after seeing the pure white and gold-stamped hull of the Leonard, and the bow portrait, the ships that came to reconnoiter all turned their bows and increased their speed away.

But there were also some more daring ships, such as the three-masted schooner with several swords intersecting on its sails, which sailed only thirty kilometers from the Leonard and slowly turned its bow.

Several people in elaborate dresses took binoculars to carefully observe the ship suspected to be owned by the Church of the Dawn, but after a moment of observation, they all looked puzzled.

"What's the matter, I seem to have seen a pirate on that ship?"

"Joseph, you, you read that right, not only pirates, but also some good-looking women, who seem to be training in formation?"

"How can someone who is not the Church of the Dawn have the flag of the dawn and the bow of the ship......"

"Wait, wait," exclaimed one of them, putting down his binoculars and rummaging through the cloth bag he had with him, "it's definitely the ship of Dawn, and it's from the city-state of Caster!" ”

"Custer?"

"Sir Willow, do you mean the Knight Huberto, who previously met with Bishop Nayk of the Church of the Storm, the ship he took when he left the city-state of Custer? The Konzan Frolov? ”

"Found it!" Willow took out a newspaper, pointed to a photo on the second page, and said excitedly: "That's right, that's it, that's the Kincan Frolov!" ”

Several people gathered around, picked up newspapers and compared them with the ships in the distance, not missing a single detail.

"Except for the missing mast and some damage on the deck, all other details are the same!?"

"I'm pretty sure, it's the Kincan Frolov!"

"It seems that the abnormal storm that appeared in this sea area last night was caused by the battle between these pirates and the Church of the Dawn!"

"The result is - the people of the Church of the Dawn lost? Or, more accurately, they were killed?! ”

"That's right, there weren't any Dawn priests on that ship except for pirates, not even the Grand Knight of Judgment!"

"Big news, sir! The ship on which the Grand Knight of the Dawn Church Huberto was riding was plundered by pirates, and the entire ship's clergy were slaughtered, which is definitely big news! ”

"I know, I know," Willow licked his dry lips as a flash of greed flashed in his eyes, and he picked up his binoculars again and surveyed the ship in the distance, "Let me see, who could do such a horrible thing?" ”

According to the rules of their Cordo Gazette newspaper, the exploration ship will be paid handsomely after submitting major information or news, which is enough to make anyone's heart flutter!

"Pirate...... Triangular eyes, robotic arms, I think I've seen that person somewhere...... And one of those women too, that, that's!? ”

"Sir, are you sure who they are?"

"The triangular eye is Ronan of the Golden Dis, and that woman, that is Vian Imma Sawyer, who has just been rumored to have eloped with Ser Massimo by the city-state of Andrea!!"

"What?"

"Sir, is it really Miss Vivian, the heir of the House of Sawyer?"

Willow roared excitedly: "It can't be wrong, I can't be wrong, it's her!" Great, her appearance here, it means that the previous rumors are wrong, and there must be hidden secrets in them that we don't know! ”

"Pull in, damn Cabrera, get over there, I'm going to take pictures of them, especially that Miss Vivian!"

"Keep sailing!"

Everyone was excited, and finding such big news would definitely make them all a fortune.

As the distance got closer, Willow could see more clearly, and at the bow of the ship were three strangers, a little girl with white hair, a mechanical golem and a mechanical transformer?

Among the female guards trained on deck, in addition to Vivian, there was also a very charming woman, who was lazily leaning on the side of the ship, holding a glass of red wine, as if watching the escorts' training.

On top of that, there are the pirates on deck who are busy spraying sail patterns.

"Even the logo of the Church of the Dawn has to be replaced, yes, the Grand Knight of Huberto must have met with an accident!"

Willow put down the binoculars, took out a camera, and the whole person got into it, babbling endlessly: "Closer, closer, look at it...... Now is the time! ”

"Huh? That guy?! ”

At this time, the other people also found something and shouted in horror: "Sir, look in the direction of the cabin!" ”

"That's ......"

"The murderer of the city-state of Custer, the aberrant wizard of the Ghost School, Wayne Lovet! I see, I said that whoever was so bold and dared to kill that great knight, it turned out to be him!! ”

Willow took a picture and came out from behind the camera, his face was slightly pale, but his face was still full of excitement, "I see!" ”

"Quick, record!"

"On September 3, 1578, in the waters of X1087, Wayne Loft led a group of pirates from the Ronan to raid and kill the Church of the Dawn, including the Grand Knight of the Judgment, Huberto Watson."

"And in the process of escaping, he also kidnapped Vian Ima Sawyer, the heir of the House of Sawyer, and that Sir Massimo has most likely been killed!"

"In addition, it is suspected that the red-haired captain who was on the Ronan before was also pretended by this aberrant wizard!"

Willow thought he had discovered the truth of the matter and asked his men to record what he had said.

"Sir, then, do you want to keep getting closer now?"

"Huh?"

"It's too dangerous, that aberrations wizard is an evil person who caused tens of thousands of deaths, and he is still standing on the opposite side of the Church of Dawn, if he finds out, we ......"

"You're right, return, get away, we're going to pass the news back!"

Willow looked at the distance between the two sides, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Damn, Cabrera, do you hear it, quickly turn the bow of the ship and return home!" ”

"Yes, Lord Sir!"

And in the distance, the Kzan Frolov, which had been renamed the Leonard, was the bow of the Lord of Dawn like the rear.

The white-haired girl sat on Zero's shoulder, looking at the three-masted sailboat that was turning away, her empty eyes without a trace of color, and whispered out a few words: "Tina, calamity." ”

A void force crossed a distance of tens of kilometers and descended on that ship, without attracting the attention of the others.

Zero next to her looked at her suspiciously, "Tina, are you talking?" ”

"Tina, Hai."

Tina pulled the clown doll and looked at the nearby sea, her expression unchanged.

"Well, the Sea of Cordor is really vast, I heard that there are even bigger seas beyond the four continents." Zero raised one of his mechanical arms in front of Tina to prevent her from falling, and Cog's eyes shrank slightly, staring straight at the undulating sea, leaving his previous doubts behind.

"Be careful."

Sava stood beside the two of them, looking at the sea as well, the skin around the mechanical eyes on her pale face wrinkled, shimmering with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

However, compared to the Zero type, both the mechanical eye and the robotic arm are much rougher.

"Well, I'll protect Tina." Zero nodded, the angular face had only a metallic luster, and the tone simulated by the friction of the gears was rare gentleness.

At this time, Wayne, who walked out of the cabin, saw the three-masted sailing ship in the distance, and his brows furrowed slightly.

However, he thought about it for a few seconds, and did not choose to intercept it, someone had to pass on the matter here.

At the very least, the killing of Henrik by Marco should be revealed, so that he can join the Black Pearl in a normal way.

"Captain."

Ronan pointed to the slowly rising sail and asked uncertainly, "Is it okay for you to look at such a pattern?" ”

Wayne glanced up, only to see that on the largest sail in the middle, the symbol of dawn had been covered with a clown face.

However, he had to admit that it was a wrong decision to let these rough pirates do such meticulous work.

If it weren't for the large red nose in the middle, he would have almost thought it was a pattern of a distorted head......

"That's it for now."

Triangle Eye breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain, the restoration of this ship has been completed, and the overall painting needs to be completed by a special dock, you see?" ”

"Let's set sail."

"Yes!"

Ronan took the lead and beckoned the remaining pirates to put away their anchors and prepare to set sail.

Wayne looked at the three Tina in the direction of the bow of the ship, then at the Queen's guards who were training on the deck, and finally at Claire not far away.

"Look at me like this, do you know me, or do you suspect that I'm someone else pretending?"

Claire put down the glass, her bright eyes staring at him, a smile curling into her mouth.

Wayne shook his head, glanced at the guards who were slowing down their training, and asked, "Are you sure you don't stay in the theater with them?" ”

"What's the matter?" Claire stretched and said softly, "It's just that there will be some danger." ”

"It's not just a danger!"

Wayne walked over, "This time, killing those priests will definitely usher in a greater counterattack from the Dawn Church, plus the strange Dusk Secret Monks I encountered before...... I'm afraid that it won't be calm for a while in the next period. ”

"So, you're worried about me?"

Wayne looked her straight in the eye, "Tina and the Eternal Society aside, in fact, you don't need to follow me all the way to the Southern Continent. ”

"Since you choose to go with me, I can't let you be hurt again, let alone have anything like last night. The best thing to do is for you to stay in the theater with them and not leave any puppets behind! ”

"Oh?" Claire was lying on her side on the side of the boat, her head resting on her white arms, and she said with a smile in her eyes, "Are you scared?" ”

"I just think your strength is even weaker than I thought, leave you outside, I don't know when someone will kill you."

Claire: "......"

When did this person speak so directly?

No, not only directly, but also more vicious!

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then you should prepare more stand-in necklaces." Wayne said calmly, "And they, like the pirates who died on the Ronan last night, will face death at any time." ”

"I don't think you want the guards you worked so hard to train to be killed casually, right?"

"You've won!"

Claire looked at him deeply, and this man couldn't admit that he cared about me?

Wayne's heart was relieved, he asked tentatively last night, and today's blunt request was also a decision after careful consideration.

He really didn't want to see Claire die in front of him again, and the reason, just like he had just said, Claire could have chosen another way to go to the Southern Continent.

That would be much less dangerous than following him!

In addition to this, the main thing is that after what happened last night, Wayne has no confidence that he will be able to evade the pursuit of the Church of Dawn next time.

There was no need for a particularly powerful cleric to appear, as long as there was one more Grand Knight of Judgment whose strength was comparable to that of Huberto, he would not be able to do what he did last night.

If there is another projection of the Lord of Dawn, then it is impossible to say whether he can run away!

If at that time, Claire died again......

When he thought of this possibility, a hint of happiness welled up in his heart, glad that Menore had arrived in time this time, and that Blackjack had helped.

"Later, I'll take you back to the theater and carve out another area for you."

"Hmm,"

Claire nodded, stood up and leaned into Wayne's ear, and whispered, "Actually, you don't have to be so serious, as long as it's your order, I will obey it." ”

Wayne ducked back, scratched his itchy ears, and said helplessly, "It's better to ...... like this."

Command?

If he listened to any order, he would have made Claire like the wizard of Teresa, revealing two points and a line!

Seeing his expression, Claire covered her mouth and smiled, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

She can't put everything on Wayne alone, she has to find a way to make another breakthrough!

Although the golem's transcendent nature greatly increases her ability to save her life, when encountering transcendents with strong Origin Qualities, such as those of the Church of the Dawn, her abilities will not only have no effect, but will instead expose her to a deadly crisis.

Thinking of this, Claire narrowed her eyes and asked as if unintentionally, "Have you translated the relic?" ”

Translation?

Wayne was stunned for a moment, "Not yet, didn't you say last time that you weren't in a hurry?" ”

Claire smiled charmingly, "It's just boring to stay in the theater all the time, I always have to find something to do, right?" That relic is so thick, the content on it must be wonderful, and maybe some relics of the Third Age can be found in it. ”

"That's right," Wayne thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll find a way to finish the translation as soon as possible and hand it over to you." ”

"Well, I'm not in a hurry, just translate it in your free time."

“……”

Wayne glanced at her, turned his head to look at the sea in the distance, and said in his heart that this woman suddenly said this, and she always felt that she was not in a hurry.

Hey, there's one more thing to be busy with.

I just hope that the master-level Gonzales can finish translating that relic, otherwise there will be 100,000 survival points...... He didn't have to think about improving his other abilities.

Just as the two were leaning together and talking, the guards not far away all looked at them from time to time, and their faces showed ambiguous smiles.

"That ghost wizard has joined the Eternal Society." Haisha whispered.

Vivian whispered as she led the crowd through the etiquette training, "You'd better call him, Captain." ”

"Huh?"

"Anyway, they've saved us twice, no, four times when you count last night and the Storm Hunter!"

Vivian finished making a movement, let out a long breath, and said calmly, "Concentrate on training, and talk about other things when you rest." ”

She knew what Haisha was thinking,

I feel that the heir of the dignified Sawyer family has paid too much to serve as the captain of the escort.

But she has her own plans, rather than returning to the Northern Continent and returning to the family, she wants to stay on this ship all the time, even if it is to serve as a training officer!

As for the heirs of the House of Sawyer...... After knowing that the family had sold her to Massimo, it was no longer on her mind.

Haisha pursed her lips, looked at her deeply, and didn't say anything more.

Four times?

It's only the first one!

"Set sail, set sail!"

With everything ready, Ronan returned to the captain's quarters, grabbed the rudder, and steered the Leonard on her way south.

……

……

Towards noon, after a feast on deck, Wayne returned to the theater with the Queen's Escort and Tina, leaving Claire at the bottom of the ship as a warning.

It didn't take long for him to redivide the theater space, creating an area in the middle of the auditorium for Vivian and the others to use as a training ground.

At the same time, a special lounge has been opened for them, right next to the training area.

Claire looked at the newly arranged training area and lounge, and just wanted to express her satisfaction, she saw Wayne's eyes staring at the guards, and pouted: "Okay, you can go out, I want to teach them something new, it's inconvenient for you to stay and watch." ”

Wayne: "......"

He looked at the guards who had become more beautiful, turned to go out, and closed the door with his hand.

Isn't it just a matter of taking a second look and relaxing your nervousness, really......

"Tina, Gonzarez!"

When the white-haired girl saw him come out, she trotted over and took his hand, and walked towards the work area.

"Do you still want to learn that?"

"Tina, study."

Wayne was a little surprised by her positivity, looked at Miss Zombie waiting next to the work area, and thought, "Sava, you can learn Gonzalez with her first, the matter of mechanical puppets, you can take your time." ”

Miss Zombie's face stiffened even more, and she tightened her grip on the hand of the unique studio, "...... Good. ”

"What about me?" Zero asked, pointing to himself.

"Later, I'll check your progress and make a mechanical golem today."

"Great, father!"

Zero waved his mechanical arm, "I want to make several of myself so that when I'm damaged, I can replace the broken parts." ”

"Oh?"

"This was taught to me by the driver, Baba, who said I could do this, and ...... Not! ”

Zero covered his mouth, the gears in his eyes spinning rapidly, as if sensing that he was talking too much.

Wayne glanced overhead, and the four Origin Descendants looked elsewhere, and none of them dared to look at him, as if they had done something wrong.

"What else did you say?"

"Uh-huh-hmm......"

The ghost and the others hurriedly slammed their eyes at Zero, and swayed frantically from side to side, signaling him not to speak.

Wayne glared at them and snorted, "Okay, you guys, haven't you tasted the 'Iron Fist of Love' for a long time, and have forgotten who the boss is?" ”

"No ......"

"Didn't say anything......"

"Don't!"

"Father," Zero said in a whisper as he looked at the ghosts, his head drooping, "they said you want me to be stronger, and you need me to work harder." ”

Wayne looked at them suspiciously, "That's right, what else?" ”

"He also said that if I am like my father and have four more heads, my strength will definitely become very strong!"

"Huh?!"

Let Zero have four more heads?!

"You bastards, you want to tear it down, right? Four more heads, four, four ......"

The look of annoyance that had just appeared on Wayne's face suddenly turned into a dull one, and he muttered, "Four heads, four heads...... I seem to have forgotten something important......"
