"Fellow townsman, it seems that you know them. Are they here to look for you? If that's the case, we were implicated by you. Aren't you going to apologize at all? If you want us to be your bodyguards for free, you should at least give us some compensation. I think that thing hanging in front of your chest is pretty good. "
The young man's joking words caused the atmosphere on the small boat, which had been united just a moment ago, to freeze.
"Liu Yuxi" subconsciously put her hand on her chest, intending to say something, but she found that her two knights couldn't hold themselves back anymore. But the next moment, a thin sword and a silver needle were placed on their necks.
Su Nanna and Hermit had slipped back into the cabin at some point, and now they were using their actions to prevent the ship's owner from taking any drastic actions.
In fact, from the moment they boarded the ship, everyone knew that if they were to fall out with each other, the combat strength of the two sides would be completely different.
Rorschach didn't expose them. It was just that in the previous situation, helping each other to survive was the most important thing. It wouldn't be good if they were forced into a life and death struggle, especially since the modification of the magic armor required the help of the original owner.
But now, he had grasped the situation, and the pursuers had also let the enemy slip away. Rorschach wasn't willing to do that.
At this time, he was still muddle-headed and was implicated in other people's affairs. He didn't even know who the enemy was, and yet he still fought in a muddle-headed manner. Anyone would feel unhappy.
It seemed like a simple question, but considering Rorschach's innate ability, it was full of traps.
Are the pursuers here to look for you? This was basically certain, but Rorschach still wanted to confirm it. Then, he saw that the pursuers didn't seem to be on the same side.
Don't you even have a word of apology? This was to test the other party's character, to see if they felt guilty about implicating innocent people. This would also affect Rorschach's attitude towards them.
Isn't that thing on your chest pretty good? This was cheating. Rorschach's innate ability of honesty didn't allow him to see through things. How could he possibly know that the thing on the other party's chest was a treasure?
But previously, Roxia had tried to test him several times with his innate ability. Whenever Roxia saw that Roxia was uneasy and his words made Roxia uncomfortable, the "fatty" would subconsciously touch the pendant on his chest … This was a subconscious reaction. If Roxia saw that Roxia was feeling uneasy, then Roxia believed that this pendant was either a life-saving trump card, or that it was very precious and couldn't be lost. Or perhaps, it was a combination of both.
Regardless of the result, Rorschach had to test him. Now that he had the upper hand, he couldn't allow the other party's illusion to hide behind him without an explanation.
"There's no rush. We still have time. You can take your time to think about it. But I'll make it clear that I will only listen to your answer once."
The Waterball spell from before had the effect of increasing the range of the spell. The range of the Magician's magic armor/Magician's Pagoda spell was far beyond the range of the enemy's cannons.
While waiting for the Magician's magic armor to cool down, Rorschach wasn't in a hurry at all. He patiently waited for the merchant's answer while pressuring the other party.
Sweat slid down the fatty's face. His small eyes squinted into slits. A large piece of the ground had been torn apart. It seemed that the fatty's ability to resist pressure wasn't very good.
Rorschach intended to continue pressuring him, but the other party suddenly sighed, wiped his sweat, and tremblingly untied the pendant from his neck.
Then, the fatty disappeared, and a wild beauty appeared.
"This is a SemiGod Illusion Talisman. Please forgive me for using it to disguise myself. After all, my identity is a little sensitive."
This sudden change made the onlookers gasp. After all, the contrast was too great, and the effect of the disguise was too good. Even the non-existent sweat was simulated so realistically.
Those present weren't amateurs, especially Ariel who had the Dragon Eyes. Something that could deceive her wasn't a simple thing.
Perhaps, this wasn't a simple illusion, but had reached the level of laws. No wonder it was called a SemiGod Artifact (Incomplete Artifact).
"I am Seviala, a member of the Bair Royal Family."
At this time, the simpler the words, the more important the content was.
So she was a princess of a country? Military equipment appeared on a pirate ship to kill a princess … … Expanding it a little, Rorschach felt that he could fill in a hundred thousand words in his mind.
The other party was very calm, and what he said was the truth … … But Rorschach still felt that something was wrong. This Illusion Talisman was indeed a good thing, but now that he had been targeted, there was no point in deceiving him. Could it be that he could use illusions to save his life? Since it involved political murder, it was basic to not leave anyone alive.
"Ariel, use your magic perception to see if she has any magic artifacts on her."
This was a simple 2nd-circle arcana spell, specifically used to detect magic energy and magic artifacts. If Ariel used it while sitting in the magic armor, no one outside would be able to detect it.
The next moment, to Rorschach's surprise, Ariel shook her head. Other than the Illusion Talisman, Seviala didn't have any other magic artifacts on her.
Furthermore, this spell had an additional effect. After removing the illusion, Seviala's strength was exposed.
"Rank 1, and her realm is unstable. She has both magic energy and Qi, but they are too rotten to be evaluated … … Don't show such an expression of looking down on others. She looks like she's only in her teens. This is the standard of a normal teenage human. The situation on our side is abnormal."
Alright, the truth was revealed, but Rorschach felt even more vexed.
Even if he didn't care about the messy palace legends that he imagined, the fact that a member of the royal family of a superpower country had concealed her identity and was forced to be exposed by him. Furthermore, she was being pursued by pirates using military equipment. No matter how he looked at it, it was a huge problem.
But the worst thing was … …
"Do any of you know Seviala? What's her relationship with the current King of Bair? "
Rorschach asked, but the atmosphere became awkward and strangely quiet.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't say a word.
Looks like they didn't do their homework … … This was to be expected. Who would be so bored as to try to understand a member of the royal family of a country thousands of miles away?
Rorschach knew that he had asked for nothing. They didn't even know the name of this person, let alone the political situation in the country … … From Rorschach's point of view, since he was already involved in a political matter, he should at least know who sent the enemies to kill him. Who had the final say in Bair, whether he should save this fallen princess or not, and who would he offend after saving her.
What if I saved a revolutionary traitor and became wanted by the entire Bardi Empire? That would truly be a joke.
"Pfft."
Finally, Seviala couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She didn't expect that even though she was regarded as the most promising candidate to become the King of Bair, the other party didn't even know her name.
"I must be an idiot to disguise myself in front of a real foreigner … … Your Highness Rorschach, in the name of the seventh princess of Bair's royal family, I seek help from you and your companions. On account of the dawn pact between our ancestors, please give me the help I deserve as a blood brother."
"You know me?!"
Rorschach was surprised. He didn't understand the situation in a country thousands of miles away, and with his reputation, there was no reason for him to travel across the ocean to another country's palace.
Hearing this, Seviala winked playfully.
"Sister Rosa has mentioned you many times. Who in our family doesn't know that she has a precious little brother."
Rorschach was stunned. She called Sister Rosa? Her whole family is familiar with Rosa? Since there is such a relationship, it seems like I can't just ignore it.
What Rorschach didn't know was that this was the first time he had been tricked ever since he obtained his talent of honesty. Not only that, he had been tricked by completely truthful words, and this wasn't the first time he had been tricked.
Actually, Rosa and Seviala didn't know each other at all.
Rosa had mentioned Rorschach many times in public. Rosa was an important political figure in this region, so Seviala naturally wanted to know more about her. She also knew that Rosa had a rather special half-wood spirit younger brother … … Rorschach. It wasn't difficult for her to remember the name Rorschach.
Sister Rosa? As a princess of a country, wasn't it normal for her to address an older and noble neighbor as sister? Even if she called an older neighbor … … auntie, it would be best for her to address them as sister.
Not only was Rosa deceived, a blue sapphire was currently glowing in the SemiGod Equipment Illusion Talisman's amulet.
Rorschach had never been tricked before due to his innate talent, but this was the first time he had ever been tricked. On the other hand, in the future, Seviala would regret her little trick from the first time she met Rosa.
