The encounter with the drowned man was just a small interlude. Everyone was trying to guess his identity, but after the unlucky man was carried into the cabin, everyone shifted their attention to something else.
As night fell, the people on the deck began to move in the direction of the dining hall.
Luo Luo hesitated for a moment before returning to her room. She planned to call Luo Bu to eat with her, but when she opened the door, there was no one inside. The girl was a little surprised. Luo Bu was not a person who liked to wander around. Before boarding the ship, he had specially bought a few books to pass the time at sea.
Lolo saw the open book on Rob's bed. The author was Father Martin. The girl was a little curious. She did not know why a magician would want to read such a thing. But as soon as she stretched her head out, a familiar voice came from behind her. "You're back."
"Ah!" Lolo was afraid that she would be misunderstood. She quickly turned around and explained, "I'm not … not peeking at your book."
"I didn't say that you were peeking." The future Supreme Magister Your Honor said as he walked into the room. Although he was forced to reveal the secret of mimicry magic in the battle with Saruman, he had also gained a lot from it. Coupled with the research done with D 'Addario, a certain speculation in Rob's mind became stronger. So, before boarding the ship, he bought some theological books to study.
"Where were you just now?" asked the girl.
"I went to watch the show. Didn't the ship fish out two drowned men?"
"Oh, you're interested in these things too?"
"We're now wanted by the Magic Association and the Temple. It's always good to be careful."
"Oh, do you think there's something wrong with the two drowned men?"
Rob was noncommittal. "We've only sailed out of Sword Bend Port for a little more than half a day, and now we're on a relatively popular route. There are a lot of ships coming and going, and the two drowned men seem to have been drifting for a long time. For such a long time, no other ships have discovered them. Isn't it a little too much of a coincidence that we bumped into them?"
"Is it possible that … they were brought here by the ocean currents?"
"This month, there are no ocean currents near Sword Bend Harbor." Rob shook his head.
"But isn't the woman already confirmed dead? If there's a conspiracy, the price is too high, right?"
"Two people that appeared together … they might not be in the same group. I just checked the woman's body and found that she didn't die from lack of water or hunger. There's a bruise under her neck. That's the real fatal wound," Your Honor, the future Supreme Mage, said calmly.
"You mean to say that someone killed her and used her as a disguise to lower the vigilance of the people on the ship? Who could the murderer be? The man with her?"
"I don't know, but I don't think he's coming for us. If the Temple of God and the Sorcerer's Association knew we were on this ship, they would've immediately ordered the captain to turn the ship back. For now, his target is probably one of the passengers on the ship," Rob said. "Shall we go for dinner first?"
"Oh, okay."
The meals in different cabins on Six Flowers were different. The special chefs were in charge of the special cabins, and the waiters would bring the food to their rooms. The first-class cabins had the least number of people, but the dining hall was the largest. The second-class cabins were of moderate size, but they had to wait for seats during peak hours. The third-class cabins had the most people, but they shared the same dining hall.
Lolo's curiosity was piqued. She asked again during dinner, "What do you think the guy is? A pirate or a killer?"
"It's hard to say. Personally, I don't think he's a bad guy. He's more like a vassal of some family."
"Vassal?"
Rob nodded. "There's a scar on his left chest left by a branding iron. There should be a tattoo on the same spot. He's always been proud of it, but now he's using the scar to cover it up. My guess is that the family he works for is in trouble. His appearance here is most likely related to that."
"If that's the case, his target should be someone in the first-class cabin or the special cabin. Well, at least half of the people in the first-class cabin are nobles."
"Well, we can't rule out the possibility that there are others who chose to hide their identity like we did," added Rob.
"If that's the case, the people in the second-class cabin are also suspects. But since it has nothing to do with us, let's not get involved." Lolo's curiosity was satisfied. She and Rob's identities were sensitive, so she didn't plan to get involved. She finished the chicken and peas on her plate and put down her fork.
Five minutes later, Rob finished the food in front of him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Shall we sleep early tonight?"
"Sure." Luo Luo said subconsciously, but after saying that, she seemed to have thought of something, and her face immediately turned red.
She had never slept so close to someone of the opposite sex in such a small space. Just thinking about it made her cheeks burn uncontrollably.
But sadly, Lolo realized that she didn't seem to have any good excuses. In fact, even if she could escape tonight, she couldn't escape forever. If nothing went wrong, they would be drifting at sea for half a year, which meant that she would have to sleep in the same room with someone for the rest of the time. Well, strictly speaking, it was two separate beds, but considering the almost negligible distance in between, Lolo felt that it was no different from sleeping together.
The girl stiffened her neck and went back to the room with someone as if she was going to the execution ground. Just as Rob lit the candle, he turned around and saw that Lolo had quickly wrapped herself and her head in the blanket and shrunk into a corner.
The girl heard the sound of someone changing clothes outside, and her little heart pounded. However, after a while, she heard the sound of someone opening the door.
Lolo carefully poked her head out of the blanket and saw someone dressed neatly. "You … Where are you going?"
"Oh, I just meditated. I can't sleep now, so I'm going out for a walk."
