Captain Oden waited for the discussion below to die down before continuing. "I have enough reason to believe that the Whale Pirates targeting us is not an accident. One of our guests has something they want, or he himself is their target. I hope this person can take the initiative to stand up."
Before his voice fell, the passengers were in an uproar again. "What? Are we being targeted because some guy provoked the pirates? Who is it, the guy from the special class? "
"They are the richest. The pirates should be targeting them. Is there any hatred before? No wonder I haven't seen them these days."
Captain Oden frowned. "I know the identity of the special class passengers. I have just asked them. I can swear on my honor that this matter has nothing to do with them."
"How can you believe the words of the nobles?"
"That's right." The passengers were all talking at once. "It's most likely that they caused the trouble."
Captain Oden had to knock on the deck to calm everyone down. "We, the Maritime Law Chamber of Commerce, have always been very trustworthy. Since you're on this ship, no matter what class you're in, you're still our passenger. Don't worry, even if you have any grudges with the Whale Pirates, we won't hand you over to them. However …" Captain Oden changed the topic. "This ship is my territory. As the captain, I have the right to know what happens on my ship. I don't think this request is too much."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and immediately a sailor escorted the drowning man who was rescued on the first day of the voyage to the deck. "Don't try to hide it from me. I know you know him. The reason why he came on my ship is to convey some important news to you, so I will give you half a day, from now until sunset. If you don't come to the captain's room to find me, then I will put him in the lifeboat and give him only three days of food and water. If he is lucky, he may be able to survive until other ships pass by, but I need to remind you that we have deviated from the normal route, so if you don't want your companion to die, you'd better come to see me before sunset."
"This is exile, tsk tsk." A half-elf man next to Lolo said.
"What?"
"Exile is one of the methods pirates use to punish traitors," the half-elf explained. "Pirates rarely kill their companions on the same ship. They believe that those who do such a thing will be cursed. That's why they have such a merciful method. They give the exiled a boat and three days' worth of supplies. On the surface, it looks like they are giving them a chance to live, but in fact, ninety-nine out of a hundred exiles will eventually die. They will exhaust their pitiful supplies, be exposed to the scorching sun, gradually despair, and finally die in loneliness and pain. Believe me, when that time comes, you will hope that they kill you directly."
Lolo raised her eyebrows. "Why are you telling me this?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's because you and your boyfriend have been hiding and didn't show your real face." The half-elf grinned. When he smiled, he looked a little sinister. He pulled his collar. "Are you the people the Whale Pirates are looking for?"
Rob was slightly surprised. Both of them were wanted by the Magic Association and the Temple of Light. His secret treasure brooch could only be used by one person. So, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor had cast a camouflage spell on Lolo that could last for 16 spells. Basically, it could last from morning until night. Although it was only a grade 2 spell, it would be difficult to see through unless one was a high-level Magician.
This half-elf in front of them was not a Magician, but he could see through their camouflage. There was clearly something strange about him. Was it a profession, or a tool?
The guy stared at Luo Luo for a while and suddenly said, "I'm just kidding. I don't mean to pry into your secrets. I actually have five suspects. Judging from your reactions just now, I can basically rule them out. In this case, there are only three suspects left. Do you want to know who they are?"
"Oh? Why are you so interested in this matter?" Rob asked.
"You're not the only ones with secrets on this ship. I don't care what Captain Oden is thinking. There's still a month and a half before we reach the Lionheart Empire. During this journey, I don't want to be chased by the Whale Pirates. The way I see it, the simplest and most troublesome solution is to give them what they want." The half-elf said leisurely. "It seems like you don't want to get into trouble either. In that case, we have the same goal. How about it? Let's work together to find that guy."
"Sorry, we're not like you. We won't kick someone when they're down," Lolo said in an unquestionable tone.
The half-elf laughed. "Are you serious? If that storm comes again, we might all be buried in the sea. If it's a calm sea, we have nowhere to run." The half-elf suddenly paused. His gaze fell on a girl dressed like a scholar not far away. Compared to the others around her, the latter's expression was clearly more flustered and uncomfortable. From time to time, she would look up and down at the sailor tied to the mast with concern.
"Forget it. If you don't want to help, then don't. In any case, I've already found the person." The half-elf licked his lips and walked towards the girl. However, the next moment, Lolo pulled out the Elven sword at her waist and blocked his path. She warned, "You'd better not do anything unnecessary."
A look of shock appeared on the gnome's face, "You plan on fighting me for a stranger you don't know?" The next moment, he also pulled out the short sword at his waist and said meaningfully, "You'd better think carefully. What I'm doing now is for the good of everyone."
"I think she's already made it clear enough."
Rob said. The future Supreme Magus Your Honor looked deeply at the half-elf. The next moment, the half-elf's expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have seen something terrifying and could no longer maintain his composure. He quickly sheathed the short sword at his waist and silently moved to the side.
Rob liked this kind of person with keen senses. He did not even need to make a move. As long as he released a bit of his aura, they would be able to imagine what would happen next. The half-elf's current state was similar to that of the two-headed wolf he met in the Endless Forest. He was directly suppressed by someone.
Lolo sheathed her sword as if she had done something wrong. She said with some embarrassment, "I was too impulsive just now. I should have kept a low profile and stayed away from trouble."
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor only smiled. "I know why you made a move."
"Eh?"
