A 'woman' wearing a red scarf, a tattered shirt and shorts, and an iron chin walked in from outside the meeting room. She glared with her big, angry eyes. She obviously didn't like these people, but she had to restrain herself.
"Who's this?"
"She looks like a pirate!"
"Pirates aren't welcome here!"
"Get out!"
"Bodrick! Who did you bring? Are you in cahoots with pirates? "
The meeting room was in chaos. Seeing the newcomer and smelling the fishy smell on her, the Brittany nobles were in an uproar. They loudly scolded Bodrick, Duke of Bordero, for bringing such a lowly person reeking of fish to the noble's palace?!
Duke Bodrick, dressed in noble attire, felt a lot of pressure.
But this was the will of Mannen, the God of the Sea. As Mannen's Chosen Champion, he couldn't disobey the God of the Sea's oracle. Duke Bodrick could only brace himself and continue his introduction. "Let me introduce her to everyone. She is Irenasa Saltwater's Hatred, the daughter of Mannen, the God of the Sea. Erm … She's here to seek the support of the Brittany and the Empire because she plans to launch an unprecedented raid on the Norska tribe in the north."
"Mannen's daughter?" Laing narrowed his eyes. This female pirate was the daughter of Mannen?!
"Bodrick! That's not the reason you brought this female pirate into my castle! " François was also angry. He stood up and roared at Duke Bodrick, "If anything happens to my family, Bodrick, just wait for my army!"
The Empire's side remained silent. The Brittany nobles angrily denounced Duke Bodrick's ridiculous actions. How could a female pirate blaspheme the sacred and noble meeting room?
Morgiana, the witch of the Lake Goddess, was the angriest. She stood up on the spot and cursed viciously. Morgiana intended to order the knights to drag the female pirate out and kill her before arresting Duke Bodrick to await trial.
Laing hurriedly pulled Morgiana back. The witch subconsciously wanted to break free, but Laing simply hugged her waist. "Wait for him to finish. Let's listen to Sir Bodrick first."
Hugged by Laing from behind, Morgiana felt her whole body go limp and couldn't muster any strength. She could only glare at him angrily and sit down reluctantly.
"I know, I know, Francois, gentlemen, hear me out." Duke Bodrick knew that this matter would greatly damage his reputation, but he still had to work hard to complete the oracle of the sea goddess. While Laing stopped Morgiana from scolding him, he quickly explained the cause and effect.
The daughter of Mannen, the God of the Sea, was born in the wastelands of the far north. It was cold there all year round. Her father was a chief of the Norca tribe. The chief originally hoped that his wife could give birth to a strong heir. In the end, he found that not only was the baby girl born, but the baby girl's legs weren't human legs, but fish fins covered in scales.
Mutation meant death. The baby girl's fate was sealed. The furious chief threw the baby girl directly into the sea the next morning and watched as the baby was swallowed by the sea.
But no one knew that the baby girl had survived. Under the will of the Sea God Mannen, hundreds of fish jumped out of the water and became the baby girl's warm swaddling clothes. Several Sea God Fairies took the baby girl to a small bay. They breastfed her, fed her seaweed and crab meat, and raised the baby girl.
The baby girl was the female pirate that Duke Bodrick introduced to everyone. Her name was Irinasa – Saltwater's Hatred.
After a brief introduction of the female pirate's origin, the attitude of everyone in the conference hall changed slightly.
As everyone knew, Duke Bodrick of Bodrick was a dual believer. He believed in both Mannen and the lake goddesses. The first Duke of Bodrick, Marcus, was said to have fought side by side with Mannen on the sea. From the story introduced by Bodrick, it was obvious that the female pirate in front of them was favored by the gods. She seemed to be the daughter of the sea goddess. So, as the champion of Mannen's selection, it was no surprise that Duke Bodrick was forced to endorse the daughter of the god.
"So, Bodrick, what do you want us to do by bringing this female pirate here? What can we do for the daughter of the god? "François was still angry. Duke Winford said in a low voice," Give her a new pair of prosthetics? Or to buy her shell jewelry? "
At present, the marriage of Suria and Laing was the most important thing. François would not allow any accidents to affect the wedding!
"Ugh!" The female pirate's fierce eyes burst with anger. She subconsciously reached for the trident on her back. "Shut up! Men! "
Her back was empty. Only then did Ironasa remember that her trident had been taken away before she came in. The hot-tempered female pirate did not care at all. She roared and rushed towards François.
François drew the sword of the unicorn from his waist. Laing also held the hilt of the Nemesis on his back. Almost in an instant, swords were drawn in the conference room.
The dark blue trident of Mannen stopped her. The female pirate knew that this was her father's gift to Bodrick, so she could only stop.
"Ironasa!!! Are you going to disobey the will of Mannanen?! "Duke Bodrick, who had been bullied on both sides, was really angry.
Only then did the conference room quiet down. The great alchemist from the Empire, Bayershazer Galt, spoke in his special voice. "So, Duke Bodrick, why did you bring her in?"
"Yes, if you can't give a reasonable explanation, Bodrick, prepare to face the wrath of the Lady!" Morgiana said impatiently.
Bodrick continued the story.
When Ironasa grew up, she knew that she would eventually return to human society. She gritted her teeth and cut off her finned calf, put on a prosthetic limb, and embarked on an adventure in a small boat. In the end, she was rescued by a pirate ship, the Swordfish, from the southern city of Tyrell, and became a female crew member.
Ten years later, Mannen's daughter learned how to curse like a sailor, fight like a pirate, and sail like a helmsman. She eventually became the captain of the ship and became the largest pirate lord in Satusha.
Now, her father, Mannen, had told her in a dream that it was time to take revenge on the barbarians of Northka! Ironasa Saltwater would lead the Swordfish and her men to exact revenge on the barbarians in the north who abandoned her!
"Ironasa needs our help. She wants to get a license to dock and replenish supplies in some ports in the Empire and Brittany," Bodrick added.
"What can we get? A group of infamous pirates with no credibility can swagger into our port, and if they are interested, they can come in to sleep and steal some things, and if they are not interested, they can come in to burn and loot? "Ivan, the Griffin Duke, sneered." Do you think we are idiots? A female pirate? What can you and your pirate ship do? Kill dozens of barbarians and claim credit for it? Sorry, but we don't need it. "
"I killed them all." Ironasa glared at him. "I killed them all."
“？？？ What do you mean you killed them all? " François also thought it was nonsense to give them a license, even though there was no port in his Winford Dukedom.
"The Skalins came south to rob you. King 'Red Eye' Egil was killed by this man called Laing. But you must remember that a dozen small tribes escaped on three hundred dragonboats, right?" Ironasa pointed at Laing and approached him step by step. "I killed them all."
"An entire fleet of three hundred dragonboats was wiped out by me and my Swordfish. Not a single barbarian returned to the northern wastelands. And my revenge has just begun!"
“！！！” The Duke of Brittany and the representatives of the Empire widened their eyes. Even Belegar, the King of Eight Peaks, who was eating Winford's lamb pies and horse sausages, raised his head.
No wonder the barbarian fleet that retreated from Lyonasser was nowhere to be found. It was because …
A single ship wiped out an entire fleet of Northka's dragonboats?
Ivan, Duke of Gryphon, was the first to speak. "I think we can talk about your license, Lady Irinasa."
If this "woman" could deal a devastating blow to Northka, the Empire would be more than happy. The Empire was not Brittany. To the Empire, as long as Ironasa could keep the northern barbarians in check, the Empire would not mind giving her a license. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The great nobles of Brittania were also silent. The damage that Egil had brought to the whole kingdom was still vivid in their minds. Since the female pirate in front of them was the daughter of Mannen, the God of the Sea, and had Bodrick, the Duke of Bordero as her guarantor, there might be a lot of things that could be done.
"Father's will is everything! Father asked me to ask you for help! You should help me! "
… …
"So, father and the others agreed in the end?"
Within Duke Helenhilde's castle, in Ryan's residence, a well-dressed female knight sat in front of the window and asked Ryan.
"The dukes and the Empire said they wanted to discuss and make preparations." Laing and the female knight sat side by side. He looked a little hesitant. "A knight and a pirate working together … There's no precedent, right?"
After dinner last night, François lifted Suria's house ban and allowed her to walk around Laing's residence. The duke only ordered his daughter not to spend the night in Laing's residence and to return to her own room before nine at night. Suria received her father's permission and came openly.
"It's not unprecedented. Laing, do you know about privateers?" Suria stretched out her white finger and tapped Laing's palm. "Brittany has been giving out licenses ever since the founding of the kingdom."
"I know about that." Laing nodded. Brittany privateers and pirates were famous in the old world. These ships were private boats hired by the Brittany king to maintain the safety of the shipping lanes.
When war broke out, these small boats were equipped with catapults, causing the number of ships in the Bartonian fleet to swell. The crew of privateers were often evil people. Many of them were criminals who joined to avoid being hanged, so they lacked military discipline and spirit. The crew members were randomly whipped by their superiors to adapt to the turbulence of the sea. However, in the face of death or battle, the prisoners on death row would erupt with terrifying fighting power just to get a pardon.
When there was no war, the privateers were required to support themselves. They were allowed to raid the ships of enemy nations (Estalia, Tyrell, the dark elves, the barbarians of Northca, the vampires and other pirates) and were protected by the Brittany.
"Since there's a precedent for this, what's wrong with us giving the female pirate a permit to dock and replenish her supplies?" Sulia said softly and gently. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Actually, it doesn't count." Laing frowned. "The problem is that Ironassa Saltwater's subordinates are a mix of good and bad. Not only do she have humans and dwarves, but she also has elves and undead."
"Undead? She's a vampire? "Sulia was surprised. The female knight exclaimed softly," That's going to be troublesome. "
"No, she's not an undead herself. But she has some undead subordinates. Or rather, she has everything." Laing complained. "Green skin, undead, humans, dwarves and elves are all under Ironassa's command. She controls a small pirate fleet."
This was also the reason why the nobles were hesitant. Despite Ironassa's promise that neither the living nor the dead could change her mind, the nobles were still worried.
"There's so much to deal with these days." Laing sighed. "We haven't even told the dwarves about our plan to attack the Blackstone Fortress, and the wood elves came again."
"Yes, the servants told me that a group of wood elves also came to Helenhilde. Their leaders seemed to be 'Hero' Aralos and Prophet Liv." Suria held Laing's hand. "They said they wanted to see you and father. But you were in a meeting at that time, so I arranged for them to stay first."
"There's so much to do." Laing hugged Suria's slender waist. "The wood elves are negotiating a truce with Casfanon. You know, Duke Pallavon and the wood elves are in a state of war. It's rare for them to have the opportunity to attend our wedding. Casfanon was badly hurt after the Empire extorted a large sum of ransom, so he planned to sign a truce with the wood elves. But now both sides can't come to an agreement, so there's a lot of problems. Casfanon wants the wood elves to compensate for his losses, and the wood elves in turn want Casfanon to pay war reparations …"
"Laing, you'll definitely get things done. I believe in you," Suria said gently. "Because you're the husband I've chosen."
The fiancé and fiancé secretly kissed under the moonlight. Their tongues intertwined, and it was a special kind of fun.
After kissing for a while, the blushing female knight gently pushed away Laing who was on top of her. She buttoned up the buttons in front of her chest and let down the hem of her skirt. Then she ran away as if she was escaping. "I … I should go."
As soon as the female knight left, Laing heard the displeased voice of the Lake Fairy in his mind. "Laing, you haven't married Suria yet. Why did you kiss her?"
"…" Laing thought to himself. I've already kissed Suria before. Why didn't you mention it at that time?
"My lady, what's the matter?"
"Since Aralos is here, bring him to my tower to see me when you're done here. I have a mission for the three of you."
"What mission?"
"A clue about 'Lilith's Crown'."
