Before Amy could speak, Ella ran out happily. Amy had to follow closely. They rushed to the shore. From a distance, they could see a group of local residents surrounding someone.
Just when Ella was about to ask the soldiers to separate the crowd so that she could pass by, Amy finally caught up and stopped her.
"Your Majesty, this is a matter of national territory. I think it would be best to find out the details of the other party first!"
"I just want to sell a shabby place to stay. Do I need to go to so much trouble?"
"Of course!" Amy said breathlessly, "Even if you really want to sell, if you don't understand the other party, you will easily suffer a loss in the negotiation!"
"Gu... Indeed." Ella stopped and began to think, "But if you don't meet the other party, how can you find out the other party's details?"
"Did they bring their own boat?" Amy asked the soldier who came to report earlier.
"Yes! A group of them got off the boat, all wearing the same weird clothes. I have never seen anything like this, and neither have any of you!"
"No one has seen it?" Amy was surprised, and turned to Ella and said: "Your Majesty, can you tell where they come from based on the shape of the ship?"
"Amy, you are so smart! I didn't even think of it! Let me take a look with the Eye of Hermes!"
So Ella ran towards the palace happily again.
"Running so fast again, when did His Majesty's physical strength get so good?" Amy muttered in a low voice.
"Gu... Amy! Come and help! My legs are so heavy! I can't move!"
Finally, Ella was carried back to the palace on a stretcher.
"Your Majesty, you need to be self-aware! Don't rush for money as soon as you hear it! Those pirates can run around for a day, don't imitate them..."
"Oh oh oh! Here it is! The Eye of Hermes!"
Ella rolled off the stretcher and trotted to the Eye of Hermes set up by the window. She pointed the Eye of Hermes at the shore and began to adjust the focus attentively, no longer listening.
I don’t know what Amy said.
It's impossible to hide the look in a person's eyes that wants to be stabbed. The soldiers carrying the stretcher looked at Amy's darkened face worriedly, thinking that it wouldn't be surprising if a coup was about to happen in the next second.
Ella suddenly let go of her hand holding the Eye of Hermes and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty? Can't even stand?"
"That's not the case. Amy...their ship..." Ella's voice sounded extremely panicked, "It seems to be from the Pirate Kingdom?"
Since the pirates who traveled all over the world on ships reported that these people had "never been seen before", it meant that these people were not from the Alemannic Federation, not from Britain, not from any country along the Mediterranean coast - Ella was the first
What comes to mind is the legendary "Wenlan".
The supreme lord of the Pirate Kingdom, "King of Heroes" Hestein, took more than half of the lords to sail westward a year ago in search of Vinland, and then there was no news. Some people within the Pirate Kingdom have begun to quietly talk about who will
It was the next King of Heroes. At this time, a stranger suddenly arrived on a ship from the Pirate Kingdom. This made Ella even more worried: Could Hestein be dead?
This is an ending that Ella does not want to see. If Hestein and those lords all die in a foreign land, there will be great turmoil within the Pirate Kingdom. There is currently no convincing successor in the Pirate Kingdom.
Once Hestein dies, the pirate kingdom will be torn apart. Even if it can be unified in the end, it will be a great loss of strength. And Hestein's promise to send troops to help Ella regain the throne will be in vain.
Amy heard the meaning behind Ella's words. She waved the soldiers to retreat, and then said softly: "Your Majesty... have you ever considered becoming the King of Heroes?"
"Amy, you-?" Ella looked at Amy in disbelief.
"If Hestein is really dead, then His Majesty will be the most promising person to become the next King of Heroes. I think I am not the only one who thinks so..."
Ella immediately interrupted Amy: "We are not sure yet that Hestein has passed away. Don't mention this again."
But Amy still refused to give up: "Then if it is confirmed that Hestein is dead...?"
"Then I won't be the candidate for the King of Heroes! This is a pirate kingdom, and I'm just a foreigner who can't understand their customs and laws! As you said, there are people in Sweden alone who are going to oppose me!"
Ella stood up, stepped over Amy in a few steps, and came to the door.
"Amy, I just want to get back what I deserve, such as the throne of the Qi Qiu Empire, and the fallen land of the Qi Qiu Empire... Maybe you think I am an ambitious person, but that is just because Qi Qiu Empire
The territory of the Qiu Empire is just a little larger. The Pirate Kingdom is not included in this list."
After saying that, Ella opened the door and ordered to a soldier at the door: "Invite all those foreigners, I will personally meet them in the palace... Remember, you must invite every foreigner.
, no one is allowed to stay near the ship."
Then, Ella turned to another soldier and ordered: "Take my order and let the soldiers start training immediately. When the foreigners come, let them watch our training until I show up."
Finally, Ella turned to Amy.
"Amy... do you know where the most qualified shipbuilder in the area lives?"
Before Amy could react to Ella's scolding just now, Ella couldn't help but shouted again: "Amy!"
"...I have heard some rumors in the community."
"Take me somewhere immediately. Before meeting those foreigners, I have to find out the origin of this ship - is that okay?"
Amy bowed her head obediently and replied: "As you command, Your Majesty."
…
…
The port of Gotland. After the strangers were taken to the palace, Ella immediately took a senior shipbuilder onto their ship. The craftsman looked around and then pried open several planks on the deck.
, carefully observing the structure inside it.
"That's right...this ship has a keel."
"What is a dragon bone?" Ella asked.
"A longitudinal member that connects the bow post and the stern post in the center of the ship's base. It can enhance the structural strength of the ship and reduce the tilt of the ship in wind and waves. This is the secret of our ships being able to sail to all parts of the world,"
Throughout the world, this technology is unique to the Pirate Kingdom."
"So, they snatched this ship from the people of the Pirate Kingdom? Could it be... from the King of Heroes?"
Ella felt chills running down her spine. The fact that these people came to the Pirate Kingdom leisurely on the stolen ship can already explain the current situation of the people who were shot.
The shipbuilder shook his head: "No... Although I don't know how they obtained this shipbuilding technology, these ships will never belong to the current King of Heroes."
"Why can the King of Heroes be excluded?"
"The shipbuilding craftsmanship of the Pirate Kingdom is not static. It was thirty years ago that I learned shipbuilding from my master. Now, I also have my own apprentice. In these thirty years, our shipbuilding craftsmanship has improved a little.
Slight progress... So I can confirm that this ship is definitely not from the King of Heroes' fleet. It refers to the shipbuilding technology of more than thirty years ago... At that time, the father of the current King of Heroes was still ruling the Pirate Kingdom.
