"Pirate?!" Angor and Sailum both exclaimed at the same time.
The answer surprised them greatly. Angor always thought Nausica was an officer who led soldiers into battle. He did not expect her answer to be completely different from his assumption.
Nausica was a pirate!
It took him quite a while to calm down. At first, he was still shocked by the answer of "pirates". But as he thought about it again, he realized that Nausica actually fit the description of a "pirate" quite well.
She had a large number of subordinates, and she was strong in fighting. She could give orders in battle, and she was sexy when resting. She did not abstain from smoking or drinking.
Regardless of whether her worldview was correct or not, Angor believed that this character alone was enough to make her a legendary character. If a talented bard could write about this, he or she might even have a glorious story to tell.
While Angor was lost in his thoughts, he heard Sailum's question before he finished exploring the world. "You're a pirate?!"
Angor looked back and saw Sailum looking at Nausica with extreme disgust instead of friendliness.
"If there's nothing else going on, this kid has a good sense of right and wrong!" Angor thought to himself. Sailum was indeed someone worth befriending. Angor himself did not care whether he was a pirate or not. Good rumors did not necessarily mean good, and bad rumors did not necessarily mean bad. Angor preferred to see the world with his own eyes, instead of being limited by "rumors" or "professional" prejudice.
Of course, Angor had different requirements for himself and other people. If Sailum's disgust toward "pirates" was due to "professional" prejudice, then he was a decent character. But Angor still had some doubts. If Sailum really had a good sense of right and wrong and a kind heart, how did he pass the deathmatch exam?
"Oh my. Looks like Sailum has a problem with me being a pirate." Nausica did not mind Sailum's disgust at all. Instead, she felt that "kids always have weird tempers". Strangely friendly, strangely disgusted … Interesting.
"Pirates are not good people. They rob people of their blood and sweat. They do all kinds of evil." Sailum did not say anything. He sat down on the side and rubbed his favorite book.
"So you're a little kid with a strong sense of justice," Nausica teased.
Sailum did not look at Nausica's eyes, but he still protested in a low voice, "I'm not young. I'm already 13."
Nausica raised an eyebrow. "I thought no one but little Angor would care about these rules after passing the deathmatches. I didn't expect to meet such a righteous little boy … Eh, I remember now. Could it be that you're the victor of the third cabin? "
For some reason, Sailum blushed when he heard the question. He did not want to answer, but his upbringing told him that it was impolite not to answer. After a while, Sailum stammered, "This … has nothing to do with you."
Nausica was surprised by Sailum's reaction, then she laughed out loud.
"Interesting, very interesting," Nausica said. "You're more interesting than him." She was referring to Angor.
"There are so many interesting people in Versailles Principality. You're as interesting as Sharon Duni."
"Sharon Duni … How can you call Her Majesty by her name?!" Sailum glared at Nausica in dissatisfaction.
"I didn't mean to. Your Majesty told me to call her that when I had rose tea with her last time." Nausica shrugged. Her beautiful eyes twinkled.
"You had tea with Her Majesty? No way! Wait, Nausica, I remember now. "Sailum widened his eyes." You're the Blackberry King, Lady Asbel?! "
Nausica nodded. "Yes, my full name is Nausica Asbel."
"You're really Lady Asbel?! The legendary Blackberry King who purged the dark side of the Blackberry Waters?! "Sailum suddenly stood up in excitement.
Nausica shivered non-existent goosebumps when she heard Sailum's long title. "I think so."
"Wonderful! Lady Asbel, I'm your loyal admirer! I … I didn't think I'd meet you here. I'm so lucky! " Sailum's disgust was replaced by joy. He almost wanted to kneel down and worship Nausica.
"Your righteous light shines upon the Blackberry Waters. You saved countless victims. You're a hero!" Sailum was almost singing a song to flatter … no, to praise.
"I thought Lady Asbel was a man. I didn't expect it to be you. I misunderstood you. You're a great person! " Sailum could not wait to admit his mistake. He was afraid that Nausica would criticize him if he stayed any longer.
Nausica had many crazy admirers, but this was the first time she saw someone who looked at her as if she was an "idol". She did not know how to deal with this type of person.
Angor, who had been watching the drama from the side, suddenly moved closer. "What did you do? He changed his attitude so fast. "
Nausica did not answer. Instead, it was Sailum who explained for her. He used a lot of words of praise and flattery from time to time … After listening to Sailum's explanation, Angor finally understood where Sailum's admiration came from.
The Blackberry Waters was a dark and chaotic place. Many pirates gathered there and committed all kinds of crimes. Until Nausica came. She spent three years leading a fleet of ships to conquer the waters. She used her iron fist to suppress the bad atmosphere in the Blackberry Waters. Since then, no merchant ships had ever encountered any accidents in the Blackberry Waters. It was all thanks to Nausica's efforts!
"Ahem, I collected toll too." Nausica felt awkward after being praised so much. She could not help but speak up.
"That's not the same! You're a pirate. Isn't it normal to collect toll? "Sailum retorted.
Angor was also amused by Sailum's words. Sailum was complaining about the pirates just now, and now he was on their side so confidently.
Just as Nausica said, this Sailum was an interesting person.
When the conversation finally ended, Nausica could not help but wipe the sweat off her forehead. It was the first time she had such a difficult conversation.
Angor suddenly asked, "By the way, Nausica, what's the third cabin you mentioned?"
…
A moment later.
"Hahahaha! So you're the one who faked his death to pass!" Angor laughed after hearing Nausica's explanation.
He was wondering how Sailum managed to pass the deathmatch. He did not know that Sailum actually faked his death.
"I'm curious. With your personality, even if you faked your death, you would still fight someone in the end. I can't believe you'd kill someone, "Angor wondered.
"That man killed a lot of people. In the end, he found out that I was still alive and wanted to kill me. That's why I …" Sailum's voice trailed off as he spoke. It seemed like he still hadn't gotten over the fact that he had killed someone.
"I've been thinking about that day every day. I can't sleep every night. I only forget it when I'm reading a book. "
He looked at Sailum's pale face and the dark circles under his eyes as if he was wearing smoky makeup. Angor was amused at first, but now he felt sorry for Sailum.
He had never killed anyone before, so he did not know if he would feel negative emotions after killing someone. But he understood Sailum's feelings.
Angor patted Sailum's shoulder to comfort him.
Nausica was not used to such a gloomy atmosphere. She looked at Angor and changed the topic. "We talked about ourselves. Aren't you going to tell us?"
Nausica stared at Angor. Sailum also calmed himself down and looked at Angor with curiosity. They were curious about Angor's identity. Why didn't he participate in the deathmatch? Why did the Phantom Servants treat him so respectfully? Even the wizards on the cloud whale were friendly to him.
Angor knew what they wanted to know, but he did not know what Sunders valued him for. So, he could only pretend to be ignorant and briefly explained his background.
"I was born in a noble family. But my elder brother was above me, so I did not inherit the title. But I was very happy. My brother treated me well. I had a very knowledgeable mentor who taught me many things. Unfortunately, he was sick, and we tried our best to cure him. Later, I met an apprentice sorcerer by chance, and in order to cure my mentor, I embarked on the journey to Fan Continent. "
