Chapter 280: Lady Guinevere
After entering the world of mist, the pirates of 'Night Skeleton' clearly relaxed, as if they knew 'Sea Wolf' would not chase in.
The facts also proved that the pirates' intuition was correct. The 'Sea Wolf' pirate group did not rashly enter the mist. It seems that pirates on the sea know each other's strengths and weaknesses very well, and no one will rashly enter the other party's dominant field to fight.
"Excellency, we have already shaken off 'Sea Wolf'." Hendrik said respectfully to Nie Yingying, who walked over while concentrating on operating the ship: "Do we need to change the route? I suspect they will wait for us ahead!"
Saying this, Hendrik also glanced at the busy pirates on the deck below, and the meaning was self-evident—he suspected that a crew member had leaked his route to the 'Sea Wolf' pirate group.
Suspect everything, trust no one!
This is the quality a qualified pirate captain should have.
"No need!"
Nie Yingying's voice was cold. Compared to the time-wasting behavior of taking a detour, it was better to directly solve the person who caused the trouble. I just hope the other party is not really so stubborn as to seek death.
The Baroness's words made the pirate captain happy in his heart, but then it was deep despair.
Although he didn't know why the guys from 'Sea Wolf' were chasing his ship so desperately, he understood very well that this definitely had nothing to do with him personally, so it must be aimed at these travelers.
Although Hendrik could not avoid being involved in the battle between the travelers and 'Sea Wolf', it was hard to say whether this was an opportunity to get rid of this woman. However, seeing her tone and eyes, Hendrik knew he shouldn't hold too much hope for this.
Sailing out of the mist, there were no longer any ships of the 'Sea Wolf' pirate group on the sea, only a few seabirds gliding freely in the drizzle.
In fact, wanting to successfully track other ships on the vast sea still requires some luck, because compared to the sea, human ships are still too small.
The subsequent journey became monotonous. Nie Yingying and Duanmu Xing almost stayed in the captain's cabin and didn't go out later. They didn't want to see the real life scenes of those pirates. This scene that broke the legend filter always made Nie Yingying have the urge to send them all into the sea. It was better to stay out of sight and out of mind, as long as this group of pirates could faithfully sail the ship to her destination.
Instead, 'Skinny' Mei Pengcheng liked life on the sea, mingled with the pirates on the ship again, shouting his identity as vice-captain, but still doing the lookout job.
And Xie Yaoyao found a new game, which was to sit at the stern of the ship and fish alone, while Little Red Umbrella Annie circled him, which kept the entire 'Night Skeleton' pirate ship in a drizzle, but it didn't matter, pirates can overcome any difficulties.
……
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Five cannon shots resounded through the entire Golden Port!
As the capital port of the Lisi Kingdom, the overlord of the sea, naturally no pirate group dared to offend this place. These five cannon shots announced that the fleet led by Prince Karl, the 'Golden King', had officially set sail.
There were no real cannonballs, only five clusters of gold-green powder were fired, letting the entire Golden Port float in a luxurious atmosphere.
With the salute, Prince Karl on the 'Golden King' waved goodbye to the King and the people who came to see him off in exquisite blue-gold knight armor.
Under the gaze of the Sea God and Adventure Goddess statues, the Prince embarked on the journey to find 'Treasure Island'.
Unlike medium and small sailing ships like 'Night Skeleton', 'Golden King' is a galleon with a load of 1200 tons. Just from the appearance, 'Golden King' is almost three or four times larger than 'Night Skeleton'.
With such a large volume, 'Golden King' can not only provide a more comfortable environment and more powerful firepower for the crew, but it can also carry more supplies, allowing it to have a longer endurance without having to stop at ports for rest halfway.
And the large volume helps 'Golden King' resist wind and waves, just like the current situation.
Just half a day after sailing away from the port, the originally calm sea seemed to get angry suddenly. The sun at noon was still casting fragmented light spots on the glass-like sea surface, and in the blink of an eye, iron-grey cloud walls piled up in the northwest.
The air was filled with the fishy sweetness of ionized substances, and the metal buttons of the crew spontaneously oozed fine water droplets. This is the sea reclaiming its salt.
Then, when the first drop of rain hit the copper cover of the compass, the boundary between sea and sky suddenly collapsed. A twenty-meter-high water wall rose without warning, and the edge of the wave peak was torn into spray by the strong wind, forming a white mist curtain in the air.
Prince Karl and the old 【Astrologer】 Master Altarlos and other noble people had long hidden in the cabin to avoid the rain. Only Vivian stood on the deck full of excitement, running around, and even helped the sailors who ran past from time to time. She ran to take in the sails for a while and then went to pull the cables, making her very busy.
Not only that, she also climbed to the mast and used her excellent balance ability to laugh loudly at the wildly surging sea.
Prince Karl happened to see the golden-haired girl flying wantonly on the mast through the window of the cabin, and his eyes couldn't help but carry a loving smile. This scene was seen by Altarlos sitting opposite the Prince.
Just then, a huge wave hit, and a sailor didn't hold the cable in his hand firmly and was thrown high and fell into the seawater. 'Golden King' naturally had many people capable of saving people, but no one would take risks for an ordinary sailor, after all, the wind and waves at this time were indeed too big.
Just when everyone thought that the unlucky sailor would be swallowed by the sea, with Vivian's clear voice "Setus" suppressing the roaring waves, a white stream of light shot from her shoulder into the surging sea. Before long, the sailor who fell into the water was saved from the seawater by a hideous and terrible bone fish.
Only then did everyone know that the white bone decoration on Lady Vivian Guinevere's shoulder was actually a magical animal.
The sailors naturally all knew that she was a respected guest of the Prince, but it was precisely because of this that the sailors' favor for her increased greatly. They could all feel Lady Guinevere's inner equality and respect.
In fact, almost all travelers don't care much about the hierarchy in the Fairytale World, but they equally look down on all the natives of the Fairytale World, whether they are nobles or civilians—so, the bottom-level people living on the Fairytale Continent almost get no respect! ===== CHAPTER 281 =====
