Twilight West City, Huggins Mansion, the last night before heading north.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to come home to see me!" Huggins saw the king appearing at the door of the room. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and struggled to get up from the bed.
Todd quickly stepped forward and held his shoulders: "Lie down quickly, lie down quickly."
Huggins ignored the dissuasion and insisted on sitting up while holding on to the edge of the bed. He tried his best to endure the dull pain from his spine and kept a smile on his face.
Todd asked with concern: "How is the wound?"
"I have been doing rehabilitation training under the supervision of the monks recently, and now I can walk for an hour every day." Huggins smiled and patted his chest and said nonchalantly.
Todd nodded and said: "That's good, hurry up and recover. There are still many things waiting for you to do in the kingdom."
After chatting with Huggins for a few more words, Todd handed the gifts he brought to his wife and daughter and left the house on an excuse.
Looking back at the door of the mansion, Huggins was supported by his wife and insisted on seeing off the king. Todd waved his hand and got into the carriage of the carriage.
Rachel sat on her seat, quietly waiting for the king's arrival.
"Go back."
The guards heard the king's order and began to move in the direction of the knights' headquarters.
Todd lowered the curtains in the car, blocking out the street view, and sighed softly.
Rachel asked softly: "Is this the last one tonight?"
"That's right, everyone who needs to say goodbye, this is the last one."
"Your Majesty, I can understand your mood, but you should also know that every day we delay now, one day of your life will pass..."
Todd rolled up his sleeves and looked at the wounds caused by the mutation, which had spread to most of his forearms. He said helplessly: "I understand, no matter what, tomorrow morning is the day we set out."
Early the next morning, the sky was just getting light and there were very few people on the street.
A man and a woman, all wrapped in black robes, drove their horses out of the Knights' headquarters through the back door and rushed to Muxi Port.
Aisha's "Black Pearl" was moored early in the harbor. Its captain took off his heavy floor-length robe, and his long, smooth black hair was tied into a bun. His slightly tanned body,
Wearing a leather armor that doesn't fit very well.
Looking at the kingdom token raised by Rachel, Ayesha frowned, looked at the passenger behind the woman who was hiding her true face, and said, "Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
When she passed by the two of them, Ayesha raised her head, her eyes of different colors sparkling: "I don't care who you were before, you are my cargo if you get on my ship. If you dare to do anything wrong,
I don’t mind throwing you into the sea with my own hands if you act in line with the status of ‘cargo’!”
Rachel nodded and pulled Todd straight down the deck.
"Weird guy."
The whispers coming from the sailors made Ayesha take out her dagger in displeasure, and stabbed it into the tall mast with a flick of her hand.
"Shut up, everyone! Go back to your respective positions and let us get out of here!"
Todd, who was sitting in the cabin, felt a slight vibration under his body, and heard the sound of the sail opening in his ears.
Through the tall windows, the direction of the sunlight slowly changed, and the ship's hull slowly left the port's plank road.
The scene of the hills of Muxi City became farther and farther in his field of vision. Todd glanced at Rachel, who was looking around in the cabin, and said in a volume that he could only hear: "Goodbye, Muxi City."
——————————————
"Black Pearl" left Muxi Port and sailed for two full days.
Unlike traveling by boat in my previous life, the days of sailing on the sea are boring and boring.
In the cabin, he spent a few minutes entering the soul space, and after finishing a brief meeting with officials from Twilight West City, Todd listened to the sound of the waves outside the ship and flipped through the books he had brought with him out of boredom.
Rachel made detailed preparations for this voyage.
Food, clothes, books and even experimental equipment are all well prepared.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Todd listened to Rachel's suggestion and compressed his activity space in the cabin. Even if he had meals, the latter would fetch them for him.
But soon, the yells and quarrels coming from the deck forced him to put down the book in his hand. He put on his robe and used the "transformation" power gifted by Clarence to transform his face into a rather heroic figure.
young man opened the door and walked up the stairs.
Rachel stood on the deck, with a strong sailor lying at her feet who kept moaning. The latter was sweating profusely, grabbing his right arm that was twisted into a weird posture, and kept cursing all kinds of obscenities in his mouth.
.
"You broke my arm! You bitch! I'm going to strip you naked and hang you on the mast to be mummified!"
Todd walked up to Rachel and gave her a concerned look.
The woman shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
"What's going on?!" Aisha stepped onto the deck holding a dagger and wearing a sailor's robe. She looked back and forth among the sailors and passengers with her sharp eyes, and finally put her eyes on Rachel.
"It seems that your men are not very obedient." Rachel dusted off the dust on her body and smiled at the captain.
Ayesha immediately understood what had happened. She knew these vulgar and vulgar men very well. It was completely normal for these people to immediately reveal their pirate nature after entering the high seas.
Ayesha lowered her voice and yelled viciously: "I told you! They are precious goods! Take care of that thing in your crotch, don't let me waste any more words!"
Among the sailors, there was a tall man with gold teeth, and he said angrily: "As a captain, shouldn't you care about your crew first?"
Todd followed the sound and saw that there were seven or eight people standing next to "Golden Tooth". They all started to cheer in response to these words.
"The first mate is right!"
"That's right! Besides, it was this woman who made the move first!"
"Even if it's goods, can't you just touch them? Hahaha!"
"It's been two days since the voyage! Why hasn't the captain told us where our destination is yet?!"
Todd turned his head and looked at Ayesha. The latter's expression was as cold as ice, and her body did not move, but the dagger in her hand was trembling slightly.
As a 22-year-old female pirate, no matter how famous her father is, it may be difficult for her to convince the public.
"Mr. Derek, your female companion injured one of my men. We must discuss compensation."
Todd closed his eyes, smiled and nodded: "Of course it's no problem, let me think about it."
The next moment, Todd called Rachel into the research institute in the soul space and said to her: "Is it feasible if we seize command of this ship now?"
Rachel shook her head: "We have only been sailing for two days now, and we are still far away from the northern ice sea. I do not recommend seizing the ship now. First, we have no sailing experience. Even if we seize the ship, we cannot
We do not rely on the crew to continue sailing; secondly, we have to rely on Barbarossa's daughter to guide us. According to the intelligence of my men, she once sailed to the northern ice field. Without her cooperation, there would be nothing like
Between the glaciers that are like spider silk, we may not be able to reach our destination."
"Then what should we do now? Give them money to slow them down?"
"No, I have another idea." Rachel sat on the swivel chair in the office, holding her chin while thinking and said: "Just now a sailor said something that made me a little concerned..."
An idea flashed in Todd's mind and he asked: "'It's been two days since the voyage! Why hasn't the captain told us where the destination is?!' Is that the sentence?"
Rachel glanced at Todd approvingly and nodded: "Yes, that's it. According to my guess, the sailor's harassment of me should be a deliberate provocation. On the one hand, the captain of the Black Pearl
Before sailing, the crew was not informed of the destination, which may have caused dissatisfaction among many people. On the other hand, some sailors coveted Aisha's leadership. These two things combined resulted in today's provocation.
, someone wants to take advantage of this matter to suppress her prestige."
Todd recalled the scene on the ship and said, "The leader was the first mate with the gold teeth."
Rachel nodded: "Yes, it should be him."
Todd pondered for a moment and suggested: "Then maybe we can help get rid of this group of people."
"This is a way, but it is not the best way." Rachel fiddled with the mouse on the table and said softly: "It is not difficult to use our abilities to kill these disobedient scum, but
This will inevitably cause Ayesha to express disapproval of us
Be careful and vigilant. After all, there are two powerful aliens suddenly on your ship. No captain would be willing to see this kind of thing happen to him. If it is not done well, the young pirate may end up on the ship.
Long, push it to the opposite side of us."
Todd instantly understood what she meant: "You want to intensify this conflict and let Aisha take matters into her own hands to eliminate the unstable factors during the voyage."
