Chapter 25 Target, Coral City!
"Mr. Captain!"
On the deck, Joey, who had changed his outfit, greeted Shane excitedly.
An Ye nodded slightly in greeting.
Looking at the two men who looked very different from ordinary sailors, Xia En knew in his heart that they were his original team.
Although there are only two of them, it is still much better than the situation of being alone when we first arrived.
Xia En asked: "Have you finished handling all your matters on the island?"
Joy nodded: "It has been taken care of."
An Skilled I took out a pen and paper and wrote: [I am always waiting for your instructions. 】
“Okay, then, get ready to go to sea!”
Xia En walked to the steering wheel and held the solid and simple rudder: "Sail, set sail!"
"Target...Coral City!"
Woo——
Under An's surprised gaze, the unmanned steam turbine started on its own, the cable and the sail worked in perfect harmony, and the anchor was pulled up from the depths of the sea.
Under the hybrid power of sails and steam turbines, the Black Swan headed towards the vast expanse of blue waves.
"How is it? It's amazing, isn't it?"
Joy said to An in a senior tone: "I was also shocked when I first saw him!"
[ Shocking indeed. 】
An’s writing is as honest as his person.
[I didn’t expect the captain to have such an ability. No wonder he was able to capture the head of Blood Wolf Hansen. 】
【As expected of the man I want to be loyal to for the rest of my life. 】
“A lifetime?”
Joy’s expression was a little strange.
Hasn’t this knight in armor known Mr. Captain for only a few days?
Why do you have to be loyal for life?
An didn't care about Joey's opinion, she just stared at Xia En silently, her eyes under the armor were calm and deep.
Ann is a loyal but not stupid knight.
His eyesight was far superior to Joey's, so he was keenly aware of Xia En's changes.
After just one morning of absence, Xia En's aura became much more powerful than before, giving him an invisible sense of oppression.
Although An didn't know why Xia En could improve so quickly, it undoubtedly showed his great potential.
And now, this strange ability to control the ship...
has also strengthened An's determination to serve Xia En for the rest of her life.
For professionals in the secret path of [Knight], the stronger the object of allegiance, the stronger the blessings they receive.
……
……
On the island, in the luxurious and spacious Duke's Palace.
Boom!
The old housekeeper carefully knocked on an extremely tall solid wood door.
After a while, a lazy female voice came from the door.
“Come in.”
In the room, a large bed shrouded in lilac gauze occupies most of the area.
The smell of pickled powder, blood, and body odor after a cloud of rain mixed together and penetrated into the nasal cavity, enough to make people frown.
On the ground, there was a long whip stained with blood, a few red candles that were almost burned out, and various weird "toys."
But in this regard, The old housekeeper just stared at his toes, his face tensed, for fear of showing any strange expression.
“It’s Sage, what’s the matter?”
The woman's question came from the curtain, and the man's painful breathing could still be vaguely heard.
The old butler pretended not to hear the strange noise and reported: "Your Excellency, Blood Wolf Hansen has been killed."
"Oh?"
No Duke Wa's tone was calm: "Little Hansen is dead? What a pity. I quite like the little gift he gave me."
Although she said "it's a pity", in fact, she didn't feel at all in her heart. No fluctuations.
There are many pirates named with the word "blood" by her, including Wolf Hansen. That’s right, the real owner of the Blood Wolf is none other than the governor of Duke Island—Duke Nova!
In fact, this can be regarded as an unwritten unspoken rule in the waters near Duke Island.
The Duke of Nova knows both black and white. In addition to the regular Blood Duke, many pirate ships are actually her property.
These pirates handed over some of their looted property to her in exchange for the Blood Duke not destroying them.
Pirate ships that have achieved some success, such as the "Blood Wolf", will also receive certain support.
It is an alternative protection fee and win-win model.
At this time, Duke Nova asked lightly: "Did the fleet of the Seven Seas Federation do it?"
"No, it was done by a captain on the island."
< br>“Huh?”
Duke Nova was a little surprised.
Although Hansen is not a secret traveler, his rumors are out there. There are not many captains on Duke Island who dare to attack him.
“Which ship is it?”
The old butler’s eyes flickered and he pretended to say calmly.
“It’s the Black Swan, and the captain is a young man named Shane.”
"Black Swan? Never heard of it."
Duke Nova yawned, but then her tone changed slightly: "Sage, do you have any grudge against this captain?"
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on the old housekeeper's back and his face turned pale.
He immediately fell to his knees and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Duke, I have a little conflict with him."
"But I am reporting this to you only because he violated I have absolutely no other selfish motives, really!”
"Sage..."
Duke Nova sighed: "You have been working here for almost three years. Don't you know... The reason why I keep you is just because you are obedient enough. That's all."
"No...don't..."
The old housekeeper was shaking like chaff, his face was bloodless, as if he had foreseen his own end, he begged.
"My lord! Give me another chance!"
"Please! Please..."
Chi!
Before the old housekeeper finished speaking, his body was like a candle, quickly melting into a puddle of dark red flesh.
The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to scream.
After squeezing a mosquito to death, Duke Nova lazily said: "Bruno."
"Here!"
Outside the door, a handsome man, much younger than the old butler, walked in wearing a butler's uniform.
"The information you provided is very accurate. Sage really wants to use his power for personal gain and let me deal with his enemies."
"From now on, you will take his place."< br>
Bruno's face was full of joy and he nodded heavily.
"Yes!"
He knew that what Duke Nova hated most was not that the housekeeper was incompetent, but that the housekeeper had his own selfish motives.
Especially taking advantage of her in turn was a taboo of Duke Nova.
Bruno knew about the grievances between Xia En and the old housekeeper, and made arrangements in advance, and then took advantage of this opportunity to rise to power.
But looking at the tragic death of the old butler, Bruno could not help but feel a little chilly in his heart.
He asked carefully: "Then Duke, what should we do with Captain Shane?"
"That kind of little captain is fine no matter what."
Duke Nova said indifferently: "Just tell the other pirates that there is my scarlet coat of arms on the Black Swan. If you want it, go get it."
"Compared to such a trivial matter..."
Nova The Duke's breathing became heavier, revealing a wave of moisture.
"Bruno, come in quickly, I want to give you a small reward."
Bruno held a moment of silence for the strange captain, and then walked into the purple curtain with complicated emotions.
He knew that the real test had just begun.
The flower language of steel wool is tolerance and wealth!
