As the plague around the Golden Sea was slowly contained and the shipping season arrived, the Black Sea sea route between the Golden Sea and the Old and New Continents gradually became lively.
Although autumn was approaching, the pirates' springtime had returned.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
A cruiser with a black dragon's pirate flag hung on its mast. It had a low hull and a huge sail that looked very different from the rest. It was like an elegant black swan that cut through the blue waves on the sea.
Compared to most of the large and tall warships, it looked like it was flying close to the surface of the water.
Olivia stood quietly on the front deck as she stared at the waves that were being split apart by the V-shaped bow of the Morning Star. Her gaze was a little dazed.
Whoosh …
The sea breeze blew at "her" chubby round face.
Occasionally, there would be splashes of water that landed on the relatively low deck or even on her body. However, Olivia didn't mind it at all.
At this moment …
She felt that this was the life she had always wanted. As a great adventurer who was determined to conquer the unknown world, she would sail her own sailboat and wander the barren lands that no humans had ever set foot in before.
She would either discover new lands in the sea and expand the territory of the human world; or she would explore the secrets hidden in the long river of time and be the person closest to history; or she would unearth the infinite treasures of this world and obtain endless wealth and … gems!
It was the rejection of an easy life from the adventurer's blood that surged in the girl's body, as well as her yearning for the wider sea and the world. Perhaps it wasn't just because of the adventurer's blood.
It would be even better if the ship was an adventurer ship that had powerful firepower and astonishing speed like the Morning Star.
Olivia turned to look at Elvin, who was wearing a white mask. Even his aura seemed to have changed slightly. Olivia exclaimed excitedly, "That's right.
She exclaimed in amazement, "Your Excellency, is this the lousy ship known as the fastest in the kingdom, the Gallo-Type Heavy Cruiser?"
"Haha, compared to the quasi-legendary battleship, the Storm Horn, isn't our technologically advanced Morning Star not bad as well?
Perhaps one day, without the involvement of extraordinary powers, just pure technology will allow a ship to have a speed that isn't inferior to a legendary battleship. The Morning Star might just be the beginning. "
At this moment, Elvin was in a slightly boastful mood. Different audiences had different feelings of satisfaction. Although she was facing the little fatty Rody's round face, her mind had automatically filled in the image with Olivia's beautiful appearance.
This was probably the highest realm of "having that in your eyes but not that in your heart".
Then, he silently added in his heart:
That day may not be too far away.
Olivia's trust in Elvin seemed to have become an instinctive habit. She nodded repeatedly and did not think that there was anything wrong with what others thought was a fantasy.
"Excellent! Even if it was an exploration ship, after removing part of the hull and cannons, it would still be the best.
Furthermore, I believe in your words. Even if it can't be realized in the hands of others, it definitely won't be a problem in your hands. "
"You sure have a lot of confidence in me."
Elvin naturally felt very pleased to be acknowledged by the young girl, and there seemed to be a smile on his face.
"That's right."
On the other side of the deck, Milan, who was also enjoying the scenery with Apsuya in her arms, inadvertently caught sight of the two people chatting and laughing beside the [Lucky Gold Coin at the Bow of the Ship].
She suddenly felt that the current state of the two people would not be out of place even if it were her and Apsuya. Then, she repeatedly looked at the fair and clean little fatty before looking at the tall and handsome Elvin.
"Tap tap tap …"
Milan could not help but shiver as goosebumps appeared on her arms.
Then, an urgent sense of mission rose from the bottom of her heart.
'No, I can't let Elvin walk down this path of no return.
He must have been cooped up on the ship and in the laboratory for too long. I must make him realize that dating girls is the right path. But … My sister, Ivina, is still too young. '
Just as Milan was racking her brains to reverse Elvin's dangerous tendencies …
"Sir, we've found the target!"
The lookout on the mainmast suddenly shouted excitedly.
Without needing Elvin's order, the helmsman and the boatman had already steered the warship forward at a speed that was not commensurate with the size of the ship.
Soon.
Even though the other party had begun to turn and flee after seeing the black sail, after a short chase, the distance between the two parties had rapidly closed to the point where they could see each other's faces clearly.
Elvin turned his head to look at Olivia beside him and smiled lightly.
"Roddy, signal them to lower their sails and surrender. If they hand over the goods, we can spare their lives."
Even though the other party was obviously an armed merchant ship with decent equipment, his tone was no different from that of a harmless little chick that would take whatever it wanted.
In fact, the strength of both sides was the same.
"Yes, Captain!"
The girl answered excitedly. Olivia, who was a pirate for the first time in her life, had a faint feeling of breaking all the shackles of the past. It was like a taboo in her heart.
This might be the reason why most girls who had their first awakening of love in their school days liked to date bad boys.
The premise was that the other party's parents did not find out …
.....
"Captain, what should we do? They've signaled. If we pretend not to see it, they will definitely open fire.
The emblem of a black dragon head. That's the 'Dragon Rider Pirate Crew' that kills without blinking an eye. And the captain, the White Knight, is personally involved! "
On the armed merchant ship Molotov under the Santabbia Company, the first mate put down the exquisite brass binoculars in his hand and anxiously consulted the captain next to him.
"Unlucky, unlucky. How did we meet this killing god?
Previously, they had sunk the company's equivalent to a fourth-class battleship, the Santa Cruz Merchant, and robbed a huge amount of slaves.
Even the nineteen gentlemen at the top of the management hated him to the core, but they could not do anything about him.
Using the Molotov, which is slightly inferior to a fifth-class battleship, to fight him head-on? Are we worthy? "
Unlike the ignorant and arrogant "Merchant of Santa Cruz" a few months ago, the name of "White Knight" had already spread across half of the human world. The curly-haired captain, whose head was covered in grease and sweat, knew very well how terrifying the enemy he was facing was.
In the blink of an eye, he had already weighed the pros and cons and made a decision that was not too difficult.
"Order, lower the sails and stop the ship. All crew, put down your weapons and line up on the deck. We surrender! "
After saying that, he seemed to have relaxed a lot.
.....
Seeing the merchant ship slowly slowing down and lowering the sails, Elvin showed a smile as if everything was under his control.
Although this was a wise choice that any normal person would make, he immediately gave Olivia a thumbs up for lowering the signal flag.
He silently expressed his thoughts, "Well done!"
And Olivia, who could not hide the excitement on her face, also returned Elvin a thumbs up.
It meant, "It's all thanks to the captain's reputation!"
Then, they looked at each other and smiled.
Everything seemed so natural. There was a sense of tacit understanding that was absolutely impossible to develop overnight. But neither of them felt that there was anything wrong with it.
Whoosh —
Milan, who had been paying attention to the commotion, narrowed her eyes. A blood-red word suddenly appeared above her head: "Danger!"
He felt that in order to save the future of the Garriott family, he had to act as soon as possible. If he made a big mistake later, it would be too late for regrets.
"It's better to hug a girl who smells nice and soft in my arms. Brother, trust me!" Sincestuous.jpg
While roaring in his heart, he had already begun to think about which rare master's hand-painted album he should give to Elvin.
"Let's board the ship!"
Thud … thud … thud …
A moment later, the ship's plank was lowered. They had already boarded the armed merchant ship, the Molotov, surrounded by a group of fierce-looking pirates.
After inspection, they found that most of the cargo on the ship was not large in size but had a high value of luxury goods.
Ivory pipes, amber jewelry boxes, gemstone buttons, beautifully crafted gold brooches, jewelry, ceremonial swords, silk clothes, and so on.
And looking at the labels, many of them were custom-made models of colonial dignitaries. Obviously, this was a merchant ship that had received a deposit in advance to carry goods between the New and Old Continents.
"This bunch of otherworldly fellows sure have a lot of free time.
After the destruction of the Treasure Fleet, Shilius can't even pay his troops. He's so poor that he has to rely on pirate plundering to survive. The luxurious life of the upper echelons of the colony is not affected at all. "
Obviously, these vermin who relied on Shilius' colony were all filthy rich. Elvin had already begun to plan to go to the big cities of Shilius' colony and make a killing.
'Instead of letting you fat fellows spend your money on meaningless pastimes, why don't you give it to my laboratory and contribute to the health and hygiene of the entire human race?'
The more Elvin thought about it, the more he felt that if he did not make a killing in the future, not only would he be letting down his own wallet, but he would also be letting down all mankind!
Standing beside these luxury goods that should have belonged to the group of fat sheep, he noticed the expressions of the two girls on the ship. Suddenly, he had an idea. He said to Olivia and Apsuya.
"Selling luxury goods may be tedious, but they're all good stuff. Pick two each."
This easy raid without firing a single shot was all thanks to the prestige of the commander, the White Knight. None of the pirates felt that there was anything wrong with the commander's decision.
Elvin did not notice what Apsuya picked.
Olivia took out an inconspicuous blue-black tourmaline button and a 'Fairy Fountain' with the label 'Le Bemin' written on it. It was the masterpiece of the famous fashion designer of the continent, Lai Bemin.
It was a silky aqua green dress with silver threads and gemstones that formed a ripple pattern. If Olivia wore it, she would definitely look as beautiful as a fairy.
While he fantasized, he could not help but tease.
"Roddy, you have good taste. This dress is paired with a bright yellow crystal accessory. Give it to your uncle's cousin. She'll definitely like it."
"Thank … thank you, Captain. That's what I was thinking."
Olivia's face flushed red. She could not help but take action. Only then did she realize how inappropriate her choice was. Fortunately, she had the excuse of "my uncle's cousin" before this.
Furthermore.
She realized that she wasn't too worried about her identity being exposed. Even if she hadn't unearthed all of Elvin's secrets, they were already friends, right?
Even if he asked him directly, he probably wouldn't refuse.
Pa!
Elvin snapped his fingers after ordering all the crew members of the merchant ship to board the few longboats that came with the ship.
"Ka ka …"
A huge lizard with a body length of five meters and a flat body suddenly darted out from his shadow.
The scales on the surface of his body were the same as before, still a pure black that didn't reflect light at all. However, there were two swollen lumps on his back, and there were more edges on his head, vaguely resembling the insignia of a dragon knight.
Whoosh!
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the entire ship was swallowed up by a shadow that suddenly appeared, and Kaka disappeared as well.
After regaining their senses, the pirates looked at each other and couldn't help but feel excited.
"I think I just saw a dragon."
"Me too!"
"It's the captain's dragon. Although it's a small dragon, our dragon cavalry really does have a dragon."
He ignored the crew's sudden excitement.
Although it had only been a day and a half since he had completed his plundering, it was already evening. Elvin didn't plan on continuing his stroll.
Furthermore, he suddenly had a strange sense of urgency in his heart. He kept having the feeling that something closely related to him was about to happen. Furthermore, that premonition was getting stronger and stronger, making him not in the mood to continue hunting.
Therefore, he gave the order.
"Morning Star, let's return!"
"Yes, Captain!"
However, unfortunately, the battleship had just returned not long ago.
On the surface of the sea, a tattered sailboat that had weathered countless storms lay in front of them.
Before this, the seagulls in the mental network hadn't discovered any traces of the other party.
"Something's strange."
