On the sea, there are too many people with too many reasons to hide their identities. There may be some pirates, wanted criminals, enemies, or even people who are just fleeing to avoid debts.
Roman didn't pay too much attention, and boarded the "cargo ship" amidst the different expressions of a group of people.
Richard followed behind him, leaning on his cane.
Since it was not a normal passenger ship and it did not have luxurious and comfortable cabins, Roman didn't really care.
Olavi Island is located northeast of the Rhoad Islands. The straight-line distance is not far away. Although the safe channel is winding and winding, which adds hundreds of nautical miles to the distance, the total sailing time will not be too long.
Roman and Rachel did not move around. Except for going to the restaurant to eat, they stayed quietly in the cabin most of the time.
In the slightly crude cabin, because they were not very familiar with each other, Roman did not have much communication with Rachel at first, and just quietly read books in the ancient giant language by himself.
At noon the next day, after spending a smooth night and having lunch as usual, the two returned to their cabin again.
Just as he sat down, Roman heard Richard's voice.
"Mr. Roman, there was a man and woman in the restaurant just now, and they had some unusual luck."
"Huh?" This was the first time that Rachel took the initiative to share information.
"Which pair?" Roman felt something magical. Rachel could sense this information even if he was blindfolded? Can he accurately distinguish a man and a woman?
"The two people not far to your left when eating."
Roman recalled that at lunch just now, next to him... there was indeed a man and woman wearing black hooded cloaks. Their faces could not be seen clearly, and they looked very mysterious.
However, there were many such people on this ship, and Roman didn't pay attention to them.
Luck is a bit weird... Roman thought and asked:
"Will it affect us?"
"I don't know, there's something about that man that I can't even see clearly."
Roman couldn't help but feel speechless. Isn't this the time and ship you carefully selected? Why can you encounter something that makes you unsure...
However, the exchange between the two began. Although he is a magician, Rachel is a demigod after all, with a complete mystical inheritance. As a member of the Destiny Council of the School of Life, he has rich mystical knowledge.
I don’t know what he felt from Roman. In short, he had nothing to hide, and he was very candid in communicating with Roman about the common sense of mysticism and the current status of some extraordinary organizations.
It can also help Roman improve some of his current inverted pyramid knowledge reserves.
When it was time for dinner, Roman, with Rachel's reminder, began to pay attention to his surroundings. Sure enough, he saw the man and woman from noon again.
In deliberate observation, Roman saw more details.
For example, although the two are companions, the action seems to be dominated by the man.
Although they talked less, Roman also got some information from them.
The man seemed to have more experience and would patiently explain to the woman some things he encountered.
Roman was a little puzzled. This conversation sounded like that of ordinary adventurers, teaching the younger generation, and there seemed to be nothing special about it...
Huh...
Such an observation really made Roman discover some problems.
Not only Roman was paying attention to them, but there were several people in the distance who were also looking in their direction intentionally or unintentionally.
Roman glanced at Rachel and saw him shaking his head.
Roman understood, and after finishing lunch, he returned to the cabin.
"They seem to be being targeted."
Roman said.
"They will be in trouble." Rachel said firmly. "Whoever is targeting them."
Roman looked at the old man with gray hair, wrinkles on his face, and his eyes covered with black cloth.
I feel like he should be given a small table with a flag next to it.
"I always feel like you're thinking of something rude..." Rachel had a strange smile on his face, and then said:
"In other words, if it weren't for us, everyone on this ship might be in trouble."
"What's going on?" Roman became more confused.
"The man's fate seems to be obscured by something, but the fate of the pirates is clearly visible."
"pirate?"
"Well, the group of people who were targeting the man and woman were a group of pirates." Rachel said matter-of-factly.
"They had already targeted the man and woman, but their fate seemed to be miserable."
Richard didn't explain anything, but said:
"You'll find out at night."
If I can beat a Riddler like you in the future, I will beat every one I see...
Roman rolled his eyes internally and complained silently.
But after all, Rachel is a demigod, and Roman still has the "Crimson Eye" on him. When he encounters pirates, even if he is a pirate king, Roman feels that he can run away, so there is no urgency, he just feels
This kind of speech is a bit crazy...
At night, Roman, who was reading in the cabin, suddenly heard a noise.
He had long known that something was going to happen. He was not surprised, but came to the deck with an expression as if it was true.
I saw the sailors were all busy, and the captain was explaining to some passengers:
"There are pirates."
Roman looked at the sea, and sure enough he saw a pirate ship with a huge black flag, sailing towards the "cargo ship" at high speed.
Huh...
For Roman, who has always regarded himself as an adventurer and hunter, it can be said that it is a basic skill to know the flags and logos of famous pirates, remember their bounties, and the abilities and looks of the main members.
This time was no exception. Roman thought for a moment and recognized that this was Valera, a well-known pirate who was active in the Sonia Sea and the North Sea and had a bounty of 3,500 pounds. His title was also very interesting, "The Integrity Man."
.
It is said that he was very principled when he robbed. As long as he handed over the money, he would not hurt anyone's life and kept his promise, so he called himself "the man of integrity."
However, in Loen's official bounty, he is called "Red Blade". In the Adventurer's Guide, it is introduced that Valera is good at using fire. During plunder, he will first burn the sails of the ship with flames to destroy the power of the merchant ship.
Roman looked at Rachel who was following him and whispered:
"If a fight breaks out..."
"There won't be a fight." Before Roman could finish speaking, Rachel said, and then looked toward the bow of the ship.
This made Roman hold back what he wanted to say. Moreover, looking at the flaming crows flying over, Roman couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Is this what you said about not being able to fight?"
However, with Rachel's reminder, Roman did not take action to counter the incoming flames.
After a while, as expected, as Richaud said, Valera on the opposite side came prepared. The pirates on the ship were his internal agents and sent the news.
As long as the "cargo ship" hands over the man and woman, they will give up the robbery.
Regarding this condition, the captain of the cargo ship agreed without any hesitation.
Roman thought that this kind of semi-smuggling merchant captain, who was obviously well-connected and well-backed, would have some backbone.
After thinking about it, I felt relieved.
For him, the pirate ship on the opposite side obviously has a target. In this case, handing over the target and settling the matter is the best choice.
After all, there is no need to consider exchanging the lives of two people for the safety of lives and property of a boatload of people.
As for whether handing over his passengers to pirates so easily would affect his credibility... the captain didn't care at all.
Besides, after recognizing that the person opposite was the famous pirate "Integrity" Valera, he was able to protect the interests of most people, which only made his credibility better.
The lady in the couple didn't seem to expect that the captain was actually with the pirate.
After reaching a deal, he was just about to say anything to refute when he was stopped by the tall man.
He turned around, there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth under his hood, and then he led the lady, walked firmly to the hanging ladder, and got on the small boat that the pirates had put over.
The lady seemed to be driven by his emotions, no longer afraid, and went straight forward.
The captain here quickly organized the crew to repair the mast and replace the sails.
The "Integrity Man" was just like the legend, he burned the sail of the ship without saying a word...
Roman looked at Rachel and asked in a low voice:
"That's it?"
Richard ignored Roman's somewhat provocative words and said in a deep voice:
"The doom of those pirates has begun."
Roman looked back at the pirate ship with some surprise, and saw that the small boat had already docked beside the pirate ship.
The men and women who seemed to be staying on top like prisoners were now standing on the bow of the ship with their heads held high.
The sea breeze blew off his hood, revealing a resolute square face with a gorgeous crown on his head.
The update was postponed in the early morning, sorry
