Chapter 17 Sailing from the Heart to the Ship of Ten Thousand Years

"Born math. Boring history. Boring geography. The seven commandments of boring, boring, boring. Why can't we learn fencing? Learn sailing? Learn about those monsters?"

Once upon a time, the young Emily Drexel Layla Caldwin complained about the school.

But now, she regrets the naive and even ignorant remarks she once said. Perhaps only those who have never experienced them will desire the experience of adventure.

It was a beautiful fantasy, wonderful and dreamy, and unrealistic.

As the only daughter of the previous Empress Jasmin Caldwin, Emily, when she was young, she experienced a mother's death in assassination and was also captured by the legendary assassin...

In that time—

Even the Royal Saint Guard Corvo Atano was framed. Only later did the royalists try to restore Emily's status and help Emily ascend the throne to restore the royal bloodline that she and Corvo had the opportunity to turn the tables.

Corvo is ostensibly the Royal Saint Guard of Queen Jasmin Caldwin, and the first Royal Saint Guard ever born outside the Gristo continent.

But in fact, he and the Queen secretly became lovers, although this relationship was never made public. However, their intimate relationship did not escape public attention, and scattered rumors once spread throughout the royal city of Danwall.

But no matter what, it is fine, and this matter has never been publicly recognized. Emily herself is the crystallization of this relationship, but for the public, her father's identity is strictly kept secret, even if everyone knows it.

Despite this, Corvo and Emily still have a strong emotional bond and often interact with her in a familiar and extremely intimate way.

Emily knew about this and always regarded Corvo as her father in her heart, and had no reservations about Corvo. Her childhood experiences made her know that as long as her legendary father was present-

Then, she will never be hurt.

But now, she once again felt the experience of the huge change when she was ten years old. The coup took place, and her rule was overturned and she was kicked off.

And her legendary father also became a prisoner because of a plot... She alone escaped.

I lost everything I had all of a sudden, and even the people I could rely on could not continue to rely on. Instead, I needed to do my best to save my father...

This feeling made her feel quite panicked, but she knew that there was nothing she could do and she had to do it herself.

My father is indeed a legend and a strong backing for him, but he is really getting older day by day. He used to desperately smash the huge conspiracy against the empire and save himself.

But just a few hours ago, in order to protect himself, he was turned into a cold stone sculpture in order to protect himself.

So now...it's my turn to take him back!

Under the cold sea, the young queen of powerlessness moved forward quickly and vigorously like a swimming fish. She slowly reached the limit with her breath, and she had already approached the ship from under the sea in one breath.

And moving forward in the cold sea water, she slowly clarified her thoughts.

Now that I have escaped from the Danwo King Tower, the terrifying whip mark in front is my only hope at the moment. Captain Meixiu held back his breath and told her an important information:

Earlier today there was a captain at the dock, where he could escape from the palace from the security room and go to the dock to take a boat to leave Danwall.

There is only this, and at present, if she wants to save her father and regain everything she has lost, then the first thing she has to do is to escape from the capital of the empire.

Staying here, she can't do anything, but she will be in danger.

Only by living can there be hope - she knows this truth well.

...

...

The dock harbor was blocked, and because the news of Emily's escape from the King Tower had been leaked, the coup forces were worried that she had indeed successfully escaped from Danwall, and even drove away all the ships at the dock and did not allow them to dock.

The same is true for the terrifying whip mark.

Although it did not leave completely, it was also quite far away from the dock, and only put down a small boat next to the boat.

A slight splash of water splashed, and Emily rolled onto the boat quickly and gasped.

However, she did not rush to climb onto the ship, but listened carefully to the movements on it. After she breathed evenly and her physical strength recovered, she grabbed the trapezoidal bulge on the side and climbed up.

There was a black woman on the deck. She had a broken hand and a blind eye, waiting quietly.

Seeing Emily, who was wet, she seemed not surprised at all, but just leaned there and looked at her up and down.

Then, she spoke with a hint of a word: "Madam, I have the information you want, it's absolutely impossible to be wrong."

“…”

“…”

Emily frowned, seemingly relieved on the surface, but she did not relax her vigilance immediately. She looked around and didn't speak.

"Ms. Emily, Her Majesty the Queen, your face is printed on more than half of the coins in the Empire. As long as you encounter it, no one will not recognize you." The black woman said casually.

"The coup has already happened. They used the regicide murderer as an excuse. My father was unaware of it and became a prisoner. Now all the people who support me in the king tower have been killed... Do you think I care about my face now?"

Emily said calmly, but her tone was a bit stiff.

"Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Megan Foster, and the one I wanted to ask to see you or your father this morning."

The black woman smiled, then took a step forward, stretched out her hand to lead her to follow her to the side.

"I originally wanted to come and wake up the Royal Holy Guard, but it seems that it was just a step late. The plot of those people has succeeded... Don't be so alert, I and your past ally, Anton Sokolov, are accomplices."

"Anton?"

Emily looked slightly lit up, and her expression was somewhat relaxed.

"Yes, we learned that something horrible happened in the south, and Anton thought that it might involve a huge conspiracy... Anyway, it's what you see, I'm here to warn you, but one step later."

Megan nodded and said in a somewhat weird and calm tone.

"I know Anton, but... the Duke of Soconos herself is here, and there is a woman named Delira next to her."

However, Emily didn't notice this detail. She just frowned and turned to look at the location of King Danwall Tower on the steep cliff on the coast in the distance, revealing a brutal disgust and hatred.

"It was they who launched a coup and washed my palace bloodied, and that woman... also did something I could not explain, she, she..."

Maybe she felt that what she wanted to say was absurd. Her Majesty, who was in a bad mood, finally gritted her teeth and shook her head without saying it.

She just turned her head a little tired, sighed and said, "Escape is the only thing I can do now."

Emily still couldn't help but play back the previous scenes:

At the beginning of the coup, those unfaithful lackeys just wanted to hurt themselves, and their father suddenly started to kill.

After cutting melons and vegetables in succession, cutting over several palace guards who wanted to be unfavorable to him and were bribed and rebellious-

He moved to the woman in surprise. Before the woman could not react at all, he accurately sent the blade into her chest and directly pierced her heart.

However, there was no effect, because the woman actually... nothing happened.

Even if he was penetrated by a knife, he did not die, and he seemed to be unharmed at all.

It was precisely because she had no idea that such a ridiculous development was that her father was suppressed by her in turn and turned into a cold stone sculpture.

Megan Foster stared at Emily's tired face and nodded: "Sometimes you can't do anything, don't put too much pressure on yourself..."

"This is my ship, the terrifying Whip mark. When you are ready, we can set sail... Escape or evacuate. In short, first avoid the limelight and leave this royal city."

Emily nodded silently, then she looked at the ocean in a certain direction, her eyes sharpened-

"I have to go to Kanaca, where the regicide murder case started. Delira will definitely stay there for a while. I have to find out the truth."

Megan Foster shrugged: "You are Corvo's daughter, I can guarantee that... are you ready, let's leave here first."

The exhausted queen nodded slowly and said softly: "Okay, I'm ready."

Just as she finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly came from the height behind her-

"Well, can you please bring me one?"

Almost in a moment, Emily and Captain Megan both jumped away quickly, pulled out their weapons, and made a vigilant defensive posture. They glanced quickly, and finally their eyes fixed on the mast above the ship.

"Who are you?" Emily raised her pistol and aimed it, and asked in a deep voice.

Megan Foster also frowned. As such, she subconsciously felt danger because she didn't even know when the guy above got on the boat and when he climbed onto the mast.

Because it is still a little close to the dock, neither of them dares to make any noise and dare not shoot.

He just raised his pistol in a threatening manner and aimed at it.

In fact, not only did they feel the threat, but Mo Chen also felt the threat. He was just pretending to be calm. First, it was because they were not so reckless, and second, it was because... he was confident that he would face such a situation.

Although no new magic abilities were developed, the consumption of the six ancient runes greatly increased his magic power limit, and also greatly enhanced the magic abilities and physical abilities he had mastered.

I won’t talk about the flashing teleportation, and the perception of the void has become extremely powerful.

The range of perception is greatly improved, and it can penetrate multiple obstacles or quite thick objects, such as even reaching five or six meters underground.

The most important thing is that after this all-round perception field is reinforced one after another, it seems to have been further strengthened, which is a branch effect of "premonition".

Moreover, the basic sensory perception ability has become very sharp, with a tendency to "cicadas awaken before the autumn wind moves", which can generally predict the course of action of ordinary people and the behaviors they are preparing to take.

——So, if the other party wants to attack, he feels that he can also sense it in advance...

Unless the other party has practiced it specifically, there will be no hostility before attacking, and it can hide your murderous aura or something.
