Chapter 187 Return to Appalachia
Roger drove the Delanik and after a full ten days of interstellar voyage, he arrived in the Appalachian Kingdom star field. Because those important wormhole areas were guarded by officers and soldiers of the Joint Fleet, Roger could only go to those remote roads and avoid the Joint Fleet. This delayed a lot.
Roger parked the Draenick in a huge rock star field, then drove a small boat away from the Draenick and headed to the Aesanthana, the capital of the Appalachian Kingdom.
After a few hours of coming, Roger finally saw the planet. This planet was like a hometown in Roger's heart.
Roger put the boat down and entered the capital city from the outskirts of the city.
Roger used his perceptual spirit to explore the location of Goya and his family.
Roger saw Goya standing alone in the back garden of the palace, looking very lonely. Roger was impatient and turned into a lightning bolt and rushed over.
Roger instantly arrived beside Goya.
Goya was startled by the mysterious black cape who suddenly appeared, "You...who are you?" Goya asked.
Roger lifted off his cloak and said softly, "Goya, it's me, don't you recognize me anymore?"
Goya didn't know what to say for a moment, but the person she was thinking about day and night appeared in front of her. How could she not be surprised or at a loss?
Wan Yu Qianyan turned into an action, and Goya hugged Roger fiercely.
Tears as big as beans fell down, Roger patted her on the back and said, "Aren't I back now? Don't cry."
Goya stopped sobbing, his eyes red, "Do you know how worried I am about you? When I see that I am wanted by the United Fleet, I am afraid that you will die in their hands." Goya said sobly.
"Roger, why did the United Fleet want you? Is there any misunderstanding?" Goya asked.
"Misunderstanding? Humph." Roger sneered, pulled Goya onto the stool and sat down, and told Goya the whole story.
"It turns out that Mr. Pirate saved you. You had no choice but to do something bad in the academy, which made me worry." Goya said, wiping his tears.
"Don't think too much. I must inherit my adoptive father's will. He gave me the warmth of his father, and I cannot let him down."
"Then what are you going to do when you come back this time?"
"I decided to sail and be a free pirate. This time I came back to gather my companions." Roger said.
Goya was a little reluctant, and she said, "You can't leave, stay here obediently, and live happily with me?"
Roger stroked her face and said, "Goya, I have dreams, and my strength is not strong enough. I am afraid that one day, I will not even be able to protect you. So, I must go out and train myself. I just hope that when one day I am tired, you can take me, a prodigal son who is wandering outside."
"This place will always be your home, Roger, I will always be your person." Goya hugged Roger's neck and said in a low voice.
Roger smiled knowingly, holding Goya's face, and was about to kiss him. Goya closed his eyes and was ready to welcome this wonderful moment.
"Stop it! Roger, you bastard, you dare to come back." A loud shout sounded, which scared both of them.
Roger and Goya looked at the same time and saw Ferdinand, who was blushing with an angry face, standing there.
Roger was a little embarrassed, while Goya was shy, as if he had been caught by someone else after a bad thing.
"His Majesty the King." Roger saluted respectfully, and Ferdinand walked over, "What did you do? Why were you wanted by the Joint Fleet? Now I dare not say that you were once a soldier of our Kingdom Army. Tell me, what happened?" Ferdinand said.
Although Ferdinand's words were full of blame for Roger, Roger could feel the concern in his words. Roger couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Roger then told Ferdinand about the complete story.
After hearing this, Ferdinand remained silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Red Beard is a hero for life, but he still cannot escape the pursuit of the United Fleet. Since he is already his apprentice and adopted son, he will pass on his will."
Roger was stunned when he heard this, "You... don't you blame me for being a pirate's apprentice?" Roger said hesitantly.
Ferdinand glared at him and said, "Although I don't like pirates very much, I still believe in you. Being a pirate is not impossible. Boy, go and have a good time. I'll show you Goya. When you succeed, come back and marry my daughter."
Roger was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the King."
Goya blushed and lowered her head without saying anything.
"Okay, go and see your master. I haven't seen each other for so long, so he probably misses you too." Ferdinand said.
Roger nodded, said goodbye to Ferdinand and Goya, and came to Hezhedi's door.
Roger gently knocked on Hezhe's door.
"Come in." Hezhe's breathless voice sounded, which made Roger breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the master was in good health.
Roger lifted his foot and walked in.
Hezhe was reading a book inside.
"Master, I'm back." Roger said softly.
Hezhe was stunned when he heard this familiar voice, he took off his glasses, rubbed his glasses, and then he saw clearly the person coming.
"Roger, you're back." Hezhe said.
Roger walked over, "Master, you are worried." Roger said, kneeling in front of Hezhe.
Hezhe quickly helped her up and the two of them sat on the chair.
"Roger, I already know everything about you. Master shouldn't have recommended you to the United Fleet at the beginning. I have only recently learned about some very dark things in the United Fleet." Hezhe sighed.
Roger said, "Master, it's not your business. I was determined to join the United Fleet at the time, but I didn't expect that the water here was so deep and the alliance government had become corrupt. The United Fleet was just relying on some people to hold on. Sooner or later, they would collapse."
Hezhe said, "Can you tell me what happened over the past year?"
Roger then told Hezhe everything that happened this year. When he heard that if he injected Roger with physical failure agent, even if he had a temper like Hezhe, he couldn't help but be angry.
Hearing that Roger was helped by Red Beard, Hezhe smiled knowingly again.
