When they saw the huge pirate ship, Fisher and the businessman Leba next to him hurriedly walked towards the room. The captain's announcement echoed over and over in the corridor, warning all passengers to return to their rooms.
"What should I do? What should I do? Why did I encounter pirates after finally making some money? Aren't these crazy women supposed to appear in Beiyang? Why did they suddenly appear here?"
Leba had a sad look on his face. He didn't even have a chance to lament his bad luck. He had already begun to look around for where he could hide his cigarettes and money without being discovered by the pirates. He had worked so hard for so long to earn the money.
After getting some money, he didn't want to return to the Western Continent without losing everything.
Fisher looked at the increasingly approaching pirate ship but did not panic. Although he did not know the reputations of the major pirates, he had just heard Leba tell him about the background and deeds of the crew of the Iceberg Queen in front of him. In addition, the other party was only trying to steal the ship.
Wally's ship, Fisher felt that there was little chance of them snatching this ship.
Because several countries often interfere with each other, Alagina must have her own reasons for only robbing Shivali's cargo ship in the Northern Ocean before it is liquidated. Fisher does not believe that a pirate can rely on a few stolen artillery pieces.
To counter Shivali's army.
In addition to some small affiliated countries, there are three countries adjacent to the Northern Ocean. The first is the Sardinian women's country, which itself is looking for Aragina, and is unlikely to provide them with supplies; the second is Shivali, who is made furious by them, and every time
Naval patrols in the North Ocean are conducted every month to deter pirates. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Shivali to condone traders to sell supplies to her privately.
So guess who the last neighbor is?
That's right, it's Nari.
So after hearing about the Iceberg Queen just now, Fisher, who has a good understanding of Nari's politics, the first thing he thought of was that there must be someone from Nari behind this pirate ship, no matter what type of funding it was.
Fisher guessed that supplies were the most likely cause. After all, selling weapons to pirates was unreasonable. Selling supplies could be said to be a spontaneous act of private merchants and they had nothing to do with it.
Just watching the pirates robbing the Shivali shipowners in the North Sea, why not do it?
"Then I'll take my leave now. You should be careful."
"Ah, you too. May the Mother Goddess bless you!"
After saying goodbye to Leba at the door of his room, Fisher walked a short distance forward and came to his own door, only to see Renee not in the room. Instead, she stood in front of the window in the corridor with her face in her hands, watching.
Pirate ship getting closer to the cruise ship.
"You are back. There is a ship approaching here. Is it a pirate?"
Fisher nodded, pulled Renee and walked into the room.
"You should calm down. Pirates are looking for profits. If they find out that you are a witch, they can make a lot of money by catching you and selling you to the [Witch Research Association]."
The Witch Research Society, a religious organization founded in Kadu, is considered a cult in both Swali and Nali. They believe that the witch hides secrets close to the mother goddess, and they want to catch the witch like crazy to study it.
Renee let him hold her hand and walked into the room, tapping her lips slyly with her other hand,
"Then will you protect me?"
Fisher didn't look back and said,
"I will share half of the money from the sale, and it will be regarded as your previous compensation."
"Go to hell!"
The door was closed, and from time to time on the deck outside, there was the sound of iron chains being thrown down by the pirate ship and wrapped around the fence. Just in case, Fisher still put his unfinished thesis in a hidden place.
Don't let your achievements go to waste.
I don’t know how the captain of this cruise ship talked with the pirates on the Iceberg Queen. When the cabin door was opened and the pirates walked in one by one, many passengers inevitably panicked.
"Dear passengers, Captain Alagina is only here to search for thieves. Please do not resist, they will not harm you! Again, they will not endanger the safety of passengers!"
The captain's reminder was broadcast over and over again. Fisher crossed his legs and sat calmly on a chair in the room reading the newspaper. The sound of conversations and the sound of opening the door could be heard from the distant room. I believe it had happened.
How long will it take to get to your side?
Renee didn't seem worried at all, she just dipped some coffee in her finger and drew circles on the table out of boredom.
The larks outside flew up and down, tilting their heads and looking at the rooms inside the cruise ship.
"bump!"
After a while, the door was violently pushed open, and the very fat pirate first mate with an unkind expression appeared at the door. She glanced at Renee and Fisher inside, rolled her eyes, and looked at the pirates behind.
They hooked their hands and said to Fisher and the others at the same time,
"You guys get up first, we are just searching here to see if there is anything of ours."
Fisher and Renee stood up helplessly. It was at the same time that Fisher caught a glimpse of Aragina standing at the door. Her captain's hat had been taken off, revealing her silver hair.
Long white hair.
Unlike the greasy and dirty faces of other pirates, her cheeks were clean and seemed to be cleaned frequently, which made the woman look less like a pirate and more like a noble.
Fisher looked at each other and followed a few pirates forward. They actually searched him and separated men and women, with women in the room and men outside.
There was only a box of cigarettes and two completion manuals in his arms. Fisher was not worried that the completion manuals would be discovered by others, so he was not too worried and just let them search them as they pleased.
When he walked out of the room, a female pirate next to him seemed to want to come over to search, but Alagina raised her hand to interrupt her movement. The slender figure who was taller than Fisher walked over in person and said:
Then Fisher stretched out his hand.
"Sorry, let's search..."
Her white hands reached over and first fumbled with the pockets of Fisher's shirt. She paused for a moment after feeling the shape of Fisher's cigarette box, and then quickly passed it.
Fisher's pants had no pockets, so she didn't fumble around at all. After a simple inspection, Alagina's hand stayed on Fisher's lower abdomen without pulling away. Behind her, she silently closed her eyes and breathed.
It also gradually became more urgent.
Fisher had begun to sense that something was wrong, and his expression instantly turned into a dead fish eye.
I have forgotten that these women are from Sardinia...
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard the woman behind him take a breath and break away from the previous state, and said to Fisher,
"That thin, short... woman, is your... wife?"
She glanced at Renee inside, and seemed to sneer at this kind of woman, but the lack of expression on her face made it difficult to see her emotions. It seemed that she was simply expressing doubts about Fisher.
After living for twenty-eight years, Fisher experienced the feeling of being harassed by a woman for the first time, which left him speechless.
Due to geographical reasons, the Sardinian women's country did not have deep exchanges with Nali. Fisher had received a letter from their school when he was at the Royal Academy. From the letter, it seemed quite normal. Unexpectedly, today was the first time.
This was the case when I first met a woman from Sardinia.
"....yes."
In order to get rid of the harassment of this strange woman, Fisher lied to Alagina with great headache.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard that Fisher was married, her calm expression showed a crack, and she regretfully stepped back a distance and no longer came close to Fisher's body.
The men in Sardinia are very conservative, and the women are not much better. They are all warriors of pure love. They firmly believe that the power of loyalty in love is unrivaled, and of course they will not do anything to try to gain a corner.
Although this man is very handsome, he is not too fragile like the men in his hometown, and his expressionless look suits her very well, which makes her have some thoughts...
It's a pity that he already has a wife.
The pirates in the room behind them had already completed their search. They shook their heads at the fat mate who was supervising them and said they found nothing. The fat mate glanced at the situation here with insight and saw that his captain had retreated as if nothing had happened.
He coughed and said,
"Then let's continue searching the next room, excuse me for disturbing you."
Alagina glanced at Fisher for the last time and suddenly pointed at Fisher's chest. Before Fisher could react, she had already put the captain's hat on her head and headed towards the next room.
Go.
Looking at her back as she slowly walked away, Fisher put his hand into his pocket, only to find something there. When he took it out, he found it was a shimmering pearl.
This was a gift from Alagina to Fisher, expressing her favor for Fisher.
