Chapter 186 Rescue
Time went back to daytime...
Sheela Setia, the former proprietress of Feilong Pavilion, and Lisa, the store's waiter, temporarily stayed in a hotel on the dock.
According to the plan discussed with their daughter, their family will go to the northwest bay with the ship after the South sails.
But the Southern Ship still needs to stay in Nisberg for a few days, so Xie La treats herself as a holiday these days and prepares to have a good rest.
After her daughter left, Xie La packed her luggage in the hotel and led Lisa to where the Southern was parked.
Captain Quick originally wanted to go to a nearby tavern with his first mate to have a drink, but as soon as he stepped off the gangplank, he saw Xie La returning.
“Hello, Lady Setia.”
“Hello, Captain Quick.”
Xiela gracefully handed his luggage to him and then proposed A request that made Quaker a little embarrassed: "Can I visit the Southern?"
"This..."
Quick was really in trouble. In his eyes, Sierra, whom he had just met not long ago, was not considered one of his own, even though she was Mr. Dirac's mother.
However, he agreed after thinking for a while. After all, the other party was going to take this ship in a few days, so it would be good to familiarize himself with the environment in advance.
"Please come with me, madam."
After Xie La boarded the Nanfang, she immediately showed great interest, looking here and touching there.
This made Quake very curious as to why a womanly family would be interested in maritime matters.
Seemingly seeing the confusion in his eyes, Xie La said with a smile: "To be honest, I was a sailor when I was young, and I often went to sea. I spent a lot of time at sea. Oh!"
Quick's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Hey, hey! Does Jiaowan actually allow women to work on the ship?"
It felt a bit rude to say it.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I mean, in many people’s minds, women are not suitable to stay on boats...at least in our northwest bay.”
Including myself, Quick thought to himself.
Xie La smiled and said:
“Actually, it’s the same here in Jiaowan. Alas, it’s not easy for women anywhere. The reason why I can work on the ship is also because of my husband "
Hearing what the other party said, Quick suddenly had a question: Why didn't he see Mr. Dirac's father? Could it be that he had passed away. But his mother still looks very young, and his father is not too old.
Maybe there was some reason that was not humane to outsiders. Quik didn't want to expose others' wounds, so he kept his doubts in his stomach.
Xie La suddenly became interested in the cannon on the side of the ship.
"What is this? It must be made of so much bronze, it must not be a simple thing, right?"
"Uh... uh... this is a flamethrower, used to deal with pirates Use it!"
Quick fooled her with the same rhetoric he used against the port officer.
Mrs. Setia lightly covered her red lips and narrowed her eyes:
"Humph! There must be some secret that cannot be known to outsiders! Forget it, let's just say it if you don't want to tell it."
After continuing to the cabin to check where her "son" slept, Xie La said goodbye to Kui Gram, led Lisa back to the shore and went to visit the city of Niceburg.
As the capital of the Horned Bay Alliance, the city is naturally very large. The two of them walked from morning to afternoon and only visited two districts.
Compared to the Messiah where I lived before, Nysburg has a more majestic atmosphere. After all, it is the administrative center of the largest country in the Horn Bay.
It's just that the city guards who frequently pass by on the street are a bit irritating. These soldiers not only scan the street with their eyes, but also randomly stop passers-by and question them carefully.
Sheila knew the reason. The sister of the Grand Duchess of Eton was kidnapped.
Towards evening, the two returned to the hotel. They wanted to wait for La Di to come back and have dinner together, but they couldn't wait, so they had to eat first. As night fell, Xie La began to worry about her daughter. It would not be so late to help her friends. Even if you have some special means, they still have so many subordinates. How much role can you, a little girl, play? .
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xie La finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go out to the embassy in person to find her daughter.
Just as she was putting on her coat and about to go out, the parrot raised by her daughter suddenly began to speak human language.
"Danger! Danger!"
The parrot suddenly shouted and became restless.
Xie La was shocked: "Polly, what did you say?"
"Master Ladi is in danger!"
Xie La's heart suddenly tightened. She knew that the parrot had a special spiritual connection with her daughter, as if they were telepathic.
When Ladi left it at home, she wanted to know the situation at home at any time, although what she sensed in the northwest bay was definitely vague and inaccurate.
“Can you tell me what happened?”
This time the parrot couldn’t answer. It suddenly spread its wings and flew up. After circling the room twice, It landed on the window sill and pecked at the glass with its beak.
"North! North! Forest! Forest!"
"You mean Ladi is in danger in the forest to the north?"
"Northern suburbs! Forest! Master Ladi! Danger!"
Xie La forced herself to be calm and quickly put on a smart outfit that was inconsistent with her usual housewife temperament. At this time, Lisa, who had gone outside to fetch water, happened to come into the house. She was shocked when she saw her appearance. She had never seen the landlady dressed like this before.
How should I put it...just like those adventurers.
"Lisa, stay safe in the house and don't go anywhere. I have something urgent to go out for."
"Well! You...be careful along the way."
"Polly, let's go!"
Xiela quickly walked out the door, and the parrot on the window sill flew up to follow.
"What kind of situation is it that even Xie La can't deal with? What's more, she is probably accompanied by her senior sister, who is not an ordinary person."
< br>"We must find some help!"
Xie La had a change of thought as she walked, made up her mind, turned around and ran towards the dock.
She soon came to the side of the Southern and called loudly to the ship.
Although it was already late at night, there were still sailors on duty on the deck of the Southern. They heard the call from the shore and recognized the owner of the voice.
"It's Mrs. Setia. Something must have happened. You put the gangplank down and I'll tell Captain Quick to get up."
A few minutes later, disheveled and sleepy Quick came to the deck to meet Sierra.
“Mrs. Setia, what happened?”
Xie La ran out of breath and said panting:
"My daughter...my daughter is in danger!"
"Please...please you Help me save her.”
Quick was confused, daughter? Isn't she Mr. Dirac's mother?
"Uh... I'm sorry, maybe I heard wrong, your daughter?"
