Until the end, the soldiers on the "private ship" failed to board the fast sailing ship driven by Sainan.
When Yin En came back, he was treated like a hero, or in other words, he was a real hero.
With the power of one person, and the assistance of at most one comrade, he single-handedly blocked the attack of an entire battleship. How could an ordinary person do such an act?
Not to mention the somewhat exaggerated praises of the sailors, even Bishop Baiwu, who had returned from repelling the armor, thought that Yin En's speed in taking down the frigate was a bit astonishing.
"Although it is not uncommon for a single person to seize a ship, considering your age, this speed can be said to be a miracle - even among the many great pirates and legendary captains who roam the stormy seas today, not many have such deeds.
.”
Shark Shark did not go far, but continued to move forward with the sailboat. It was not until the outline of Harrison Port could be vaguely seen ahead, and the South China Sea Fleet of the Empire's Nineteenth Legion also began to move closer to escort the sailboat that they quietly followed Yin En's instructions.
leave.
Two destroyers flying the imperial flag approached and protected the clipper as it returned to port.
They were originally going to help ships that might have been 'attacked' to deal with the privateers in the Flying Fire Land, but they were surprised to find that the target they were supposed to protect not only did not need rescue, but was even completely unscathed.
After learning that the enemy had actually lost the ability to pursue them, the commander of this rescue operation, Baron Gervin, was somewhat unconvinced that this was true.
In particular, the nominal heroes were Yin En and Isengard, two fourteen-year-old boys, and the others cheered and cheered from behind.
——When he was fourteen years old, he was still playing hide-and-seek with the maid!
Baron Gwen was really puzzled. Isengard was just fine. It was normal to have such strength, and it was not surprising to give credit to the Marquis's children, but Yin En...
According to the information given by Viscount Grant, isn't he an alchemist and appraiser? Why is he so strong?
But in the face of Master Gosei's guarantee, he had to believe it even if he didn't believe it, let alone that in theory he couldn't lie at all. Even if he could, he was definitely not Bishop Baiwu who lied about such a trivial matter.
"We will dispatch other warships as soon as possible to try to capture those anchored 'privateers'."
He promised this, and then passed the news back to the port and the viscount's location as soon as possible.
The South China Sea is still shrouded in storms, and the changes in the large ruins have a comprehensive impact on the climate. This abnormal climate will continue for at least half a month... but major storms will never appear again.
The three warships cut through the mist and waves, sailing on the sea at a steady speed that was neither fast nor slow. Not long after, they completely entered the offshore waters of Harrison Port.
Here, you can already see the Viscount's mansion and the alchemy center of the new city in the distance. Rays of lightning were pulled down from the rain clouds in the sky by the power engine and merged into the furnace heart of the alchemy workshop.
This scene, if it were the first time to see it, would definitely be quite shocking, but after watching it for three or four years, any Harrison resident would only feel familiar and accustomed to it, and even feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
After all, as long as there are thunder, the water in the public bathhouse can be hotter.
The sailors on the high-speed sailboat let out bursts of cheers, and even the frost butterfly flipped happily and briefly left Yin En's hair. I don't know what it was happy about.
As the ship continued to move forward, the outline of a huge fleet faintly emerged behind the rain curtain. When the outline gradually became clear, Yin En could see clearly that it was the South China Sea Fleet that was usually stationed in Nauru City - these huge fleets. The ironclad ship seems to have just experienced a battle and is now being repaired and replenished in the port.
There are also many people waiting at the port.
Just as those on the ship gazed expectantly at the land, so those on land looked eagerly toward the sea.
Finally home--
Even Yin En, who has always been calm, couldn't help but let out a long breath and relaxed a lot at this moment, let alone Isengard.
The straight figure of the blond boy who was originally standing on the side of the ship shook slightly, as if he was about to fall down immediately, but fortunately, he woke up immediately after a moment of dizziness and firmly grasped the side of the ship.
Otherwise, he would probably fall into the sea and make a fool of himself before returning to the port.
Even Master Gosei touched his beard. The old man looked as if he was from another world - as a master alchemist, he has not had many similar exciting experiences over the years.
If there weren't too many things that he couldn't reveal or explain during his trip to the South China Sea Great Relics Group, he would have loved to write it all into a book or his own autobiography, which would definitely be a bestseller.
As for Andor, who had been trying to make himself as transparent as possible... he began to tremble.
At this point, whether it is life or death, it is no longer his turn to decide -
"don’t worry."
And as if sensing the other party's fear, as well as the deeply hidden 'relief' hidden under the fear, Yin En turned his head and looked at the elf pirate captain.
He smiled and nodded at the other party - although this smile made Andor feel even more uneasy - and said softly: "Next, as long as you don't leave Master Gosei and the others, you will not be in danger."
"But don't even think about escaping, otherwise you will definitely die."
"I know I know--"
Andor nodded quickly, how could he not know this truth? The pirate captain wanted to continue to guarantee, but found that Yin En did not continue talking to him, but looked towards the dock.
The young man saw a short and stocky old man standing on the trestle, waiting for the ship to dock.
Elder Pude's face was originally as dark as black coal, but when he really saw that Yin En was missing his arms and legs, and waved to him from the side of the boat with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Perhaps even the old man himself didn't know it, but he also laughed in the same way.
The white-haired boy being held by the old man opened his purple eyes wide and waved happily to his brother. This scene also made Yin En laugh unconsciously.
Isengard noticed this, and he laughed at first, feeling happy for this rare side of Yin En, and also happy for the joy of his comrades.
After all, whether in the ruins or in the city, Yin En has always been strategizing and seems to be in control of everything. He is so calm that he does not seem to show any expression other than expressionless.
But this smile proves that even though Yin En seems to be a machine that can only think rationally and choose the 'right option', he is also a living human being with a family and relatives.
Isengard felt like he understood Yin En a little better.
But then, recalling the source of all this thrilling adventure, his uncle, the aristocratic young man, fell into a dazed silence, not knowing what he should think so as not to hurt his heart.
"To be honest, Ethan, although it may be a bit ugly."
At this moment, Yin En turned his head and noticed Isengard's depressed mood.
He reached out and patted Isengard on the back - this was a rare occasion for Yin En to take the initiative to contact other people to express his recognition of others.
The young man said seriously: "You can't figure out the truth like this... Whether it's your uncle's actions or your grandfather's plan, in your current state, it's absolutely impossible to hide it from them."
Isengard trembled, and he slowly raised his head and looked at Yin En.
Yin Endan said calmly: "I understand how you feel now. You seem to feel that you have no relatives you can trust. Your uncle wants to kill you. Although he said it was for your own good, your father has a hard time with all this."
Silence of understanding, does mother know about grandfather's plan? And what plans does our Lord Keeper have for your Ellen family?"
"You feel that although you are a noble, you have nothing to truly rely on... You seem to be more powerless and confused than a random child playing on the street."
"You are even afraid - you don't want this sailing ship to dock, because once the ship docks, you will be separated from a grand and exciting adventure and return to your family full of conspiracy and betrayal...
…You are not afraid of a crisis that could lead to your death, but you are afraid of a cold and emotionless home.”
"And you already know the truth, and you can no longer be as stupid as you were in the past, unaware of all the malicious looks."
Isengard's breathing became rapid. He gritted his teeth and looked at Yin En, his lake green eyes full of confusion mixed with anger.
This anger is not towards Yin En, but towards himself...
To myself who is still afraid.
But he still gritted his teeth reluctantly and whispered: "I understand everything you said, Yin En, I am not a fool! I understand everything!"
"But what can I do? Yes, the adventure is over and you can go home now, but where can I go..."
His tone became bleak: "...where can I go?"
"It is precisely because you are smart that you cannot deceive yourself, so you feel pain."
Yin En stared at the blond boy in front of him whose tone suddenly dropped. He pondered for a while, and then said: "Listen, Ethan, Patrick told me the truth before he died. Things may not be as bad as you think, but
It's indeed scary enough - you don't have to worry about not being able to return home, but you also have to be careful about other people's deception and betrayal."
Yin En said seriously: "If you are willing to believe me, then after returning to shore, when the storm of this matter is over, we can find a secluded place to talk about this matter."
"At that time, I guess you will have calmed down and can think about countermeasures."
"If you are willing to believe it, I can help give you some advice."
Isengard raised his head and opened his eyes wide.
——Why do you want to help me?
"It's not my turn whether I want to help you or not." The corners of Yin En's mouth turned up. He knew what the other person was thinking. Isengard had made rapid progress in human sophistication, but the micro-expression on his face was still the same as Ming said.
The young man shook his head deliberately and sighed: "But I have actually helped you before - I think the guys you are going to face are probably not people who are good at listening to explanations. I have already chosen a side from the beginning.
"
"Not to mention, if I want to go further and regain the glory of my family in the future, I will definitely need the help of others. I feel that we are in the same camp from now on."
"Instead of thinking about why, you should think more about how much remuneration you should pay to be worthy of my help to you."
Isengard stared at the peer in front of him with some confusion. For some reason, when the other person said he would help him, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
——If Yin En helps him...
Then perhaps, there are many problems, and they are no longer problems.
The ship has docked.
"It's our fault for frightening you!"
Isengard and Master Gosei are receiving a visit from the commander-in-chief of the South China Sea Fleet. As nobles and well-known alchemist masters in the imperial capital, they obviously have other entertainment to attend to.
And Yin En got off the boat smoothly, and then strode towards Ellan and Elder Puder.
"Hey - Little Fatty!" He chuckled and stretched out his hand to hug Elan, who was trotting and flying towards him. Yin En teased the little boy who looked a little heavy because of his steel frame: "Why is he getting heavier?
?Did you eat too much at Elder Puder’s place?”
"Brother, I'm not fat!"
These words obviously aroused Elan's dissatisfaction: "Besides, Grandpa Puder doesn't know how to cook! His food tastes average!"
With a laugh, Yin En just held Ellan in his arms and looked at the white-haired old man standing silently in front of him.
"Elder."
The young man said sincerely: "I'm back."
Elder Pude wanted to rebuke something, but he couldn't say anything at the moment.
The old man could only take a deep breath, sigh and shake his head: "You are not afraid of death, you little brat... that's all. I wish you were safe."
