Since he had decided to take over this matter, Rob planned to take care of it until the end.
He wrote a letter and handed it to Ursula. Then, before sunset, he and Lolo went to find Captain Oden of Six Flowers. Barber's matter wasn't that serious. In fact, what Oden really cared about wasn't how Barber became enemies with the Whale Pirates, but the fact that the Whale Pirates had been chasing after Six Flowers. They were still more than a month away from Purple Roland Port, and it would be very troublesome if they were caught by the pirates at this time.
The reason why the other party could accurately locate them in the vast sea was because they had tampered with the Bloodline Ring. Of course, Rob could directly erase the positioning magic on the ring, but he didn't want to do so because it could only temporarily eliminate the danger. If they couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes, Ursula would still be chased.
The Whale Pirates were the only clue he had at the moment. Their leader, Curtis, should know something. The way to investigate this matter ultimately fell on the pirates. What the future Supreme Magus Your Honor had to do now was wait for them to come to him again.
Oden looked at the ugly fat noble in front of him with a conflicted expression. "Viscount Wales, are you serious?"
The fat noble smiled gently. "The virtue of keeping promises isn't only exclusive to the Haifa Chamber of Commerce."
Oden smiled bitterly. "You really know how to make things difficult for me."
Among the people on this ship, the two passengers in the first-class cabin were undoubtedly the famous Madam Rose, the widow of Avatar Duke, and the fat noble in front of him. The latter's title wasn't too high. He was only an honorary viscount. Compared to ordinary titles, titles with the word "honorary" couldn't be inherited. Most of them were used by the kingdom to reward those who made special contributions.
The true identity of this Fatso named Wales was actually a businessman. However, he was not an ordinary businessman. He was the vice president of the Sheathos Chamber of Commerce.
The Siyathos Chamber of Commerce was the second largest chamber of commerce in the Dawn Continent, second only to the Haifa Chamber of Commerce behind him. Logically speaking, there would always be a strong smell of gunpowder between the first and the second, but in fact, the relationship between the Siyathos Chamber of Commerce and the Haifa Chamber of Commerce was more harmonious than many people imagined. This was mainly because of the different business scopes and areas of focus of the two sides. The strategic focus of the Siyathos Chamber of Commerce was the North and the Dwarf World. The second largest shareholder was said to be the royal family of the Dwarf Kingdom, so the competition between the two sides was not that strong.
For example, the third-in-command of the Sheathos Chamber of Commerce, Viscount Wales, had gone to the south to deal with some matters. On his return trip, he had boarded the Haifa Chamber of Commerce's Six Flowers. Unlike Madam Rose, the fat noble did not deliberately hide his existence. Usually, after eating, he would take a walk on the deck to enjoy the wind. However, it was difficult for ordinary people to recognize a person of his level. Coupled with his casual dressing, no one knew his identity except for Captain Oden.
Rob had heard of his name, but he could not connect it to the real person. However, after spending four months on the same ship, Your Honor, the future supreme magus, could tell that the other party was from the Siyathos Chamber of Commerce. Besides, a person who could occupy a first-class cabin would not be an ordinary businessman in the chamber of commerce. So, Rob handed the purple gem that Gage gave him to the other party.
The latter looked a little surprised when he saw the gem, but Wales behaved very professionally. Although he was curious, he did not ask about the identity of the owner of the gem, nor did he ask about the origin of the gem. He just smiled and said, "The person who holds this purple gem is an eternal friend of the Siyathos Chamber of Commerce. You can let me know if you have any requests. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will be happy to serve you."
After that, the fat noble followed Lolo and Rob to the captain's cabin. Oden was now feeling a headache. He tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a while, and said, "I can give you the person, but I will not stop the ship and deliberately wait for the pirates to catch up. Viscount Wales, I respect you and the intention between the Haifa Chamber of Commerce and the Siyathos Chamber of Commerce, but at the same time, I am also responsible for the lives of the other passengers on this ship."
"You are the captain. Of course, you have the final say here." The fat noble nodded, then looked at Rob and Lolo. "I'm sorry, I may not be able to fulfill your second request."
"Thank you. That's enough." The main purpose of Rob looking for the fat noble was to save Barber. As for the other request, it was just a bonus. In fact, as long as the Giant Whale Pirates appeared in his field of vision, Rob had a way to board the other party's ship. There was no need for Six-Flowers to deliberately approach them.
"If you need any other help, you can come to me again." The fat noble smiled and said, "The headquarters of the Siyathos Chamber of Commerce is in Armored Rock City. You are welcome to visit. Oden, you too. If you don't want to work in Haifa anymore, remember to come to the Siyathos Chamber of Commerce."
The latter snorted as an answer.
Wales was very considerate. After Barber was rescued, in order to prevent the passengers from making things difficult for him, he let Barber and Ursula live in his own first-class cabin. As the best guest room on Six-Flowers, each first-class cabin included a master bedroom and six secondary bedrooms. In addition, it was also equipped with functional rooms such as a study, a living room, and a dining room.
The fat noble's entourage was very simple. There was only a female guard, and the two of them each occupied a bedroom, so there were still five empty rooms. In addition to Ursula and Barber, he also invited Rob and Lolo, but the two declined.
As Jessica had bought second-class tickets for them, the two of them had no choice but to sleep in the same room. Now that they finally had an extra room, it was reasonable to say that the two of them could finally sleep separately. However, Luo Bu and Luo Luo seemed to have forgotten about this and continued to sleep together in their original rooms.
Six-Flowers spent half a day to rest and reorganize, then continued to sail towards Purple Roland Harbor. Because he was worried that they would encounter pirates again, Captain Oden specially changed the sailing route, but it was to no avail. However, three days later, the lookout saw the black flag again. Fortunately, one of the ships was destroyed in the storm zone, and now there were only two ships left in the Whale Pirate Group. If they really fought, Six-Flowers would still have a chance of winning.
Of course, this was only a last resort. Oden ordered the ship to activate the magic circle on the ship at full speed, and the two pirate ships behind him began to speed up as well. However, after a while, the speed of the ship that Curtis was on suddenly slowed down again, and the other pirate ship had to slow down because it was afraid of the firepower on Six-Flowers.
