Going to sea?

Edward was stunned: "Well, then I wish you good luck. "

"As for you..." The man in black windbreaker turned to the boy, "Come with me first."

"Thank you, thank you."

After watching them go away, Lilith asked curiously, "Edward, are we really not going to follow them?"

"Of course we won't follow them, but we can beat them to the dock and wait."

With that, the two of them Apparated to the dock and walked into a shabby hall.

Compared with the bustling ticket hall of Port Pritz, the people here are obviously much quieter. The main reason is that Port Cecil has long been in a semi-abandoned state. Even if there are occasional ships coming on weekdays, they just stop to replenish supplies.

Although there are more pirates recently, these guys obviously don't need to buy tickets.

I went to the only ticket window to ask, and sure enough, the next ship would have to wait a week.

Two people, one big and one small, sat on the stairs at the entrance of the hall, watching the passers-by and the ships coming in and out of the dock.

Half an hour later, five figures came from a distance and headed straight for a small white passenger ship docked at the pier.

When he saw the two people sitting on the stairs, the man in black windbreaker was slightly stunned, but he didn't say much. At this moment, Lilith cried out:

"Woo, woo, I want to go home! I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go home."

Edward stroked her head and said gently, "Go back, go back, go back. The next passenger ship will arrive in another week, and then we will go home."

"Wow, I don't want to. I'm scared. There are pirates everywhere. Wow, I'm scared."

"It's okay. It's okay."

"Wow~ woooo."

One of the four girls immediately showed some sympathy and wanted to say something but held back.

The young man in the black windbreaker had a wrinkled forehead. He closed his eyes, took a long breath, and said coldly, "Okay, you just want to follow me, what's the big deal about using a child?"

Edward looked over in confusion: "What?"

"…We're going to Bayam, so come if it's on your way.

Edward's expression instantly changed from confusion to surprise, and finally to joy. He picked up Lilith and walked over quickly: "Thank you, thank you."

The man in the black windbreaker didn't even look at him, but glanced at Lilith, who looked pitiful with tears in her eyes (fake), and said calmly:

"The sea is very dangerous. If you don't care about your own life, don't take risks with your children."

You don't seem to be qualified to say such things, right?

Although he thought so in his heart, Edward still said seriously: "You are right, I will never dare to do it again next time."

"snort!"

He snorted and walked away.

The girl came over and took out a piece of candy and handed it to Lilith: "Okay, sister will treat you to candy, don't cry."

Lilith glanced at Edward, and when she saw him nod, she took the candy obediently: "Thank you."

The girl smiled and asked casually, "Where are you from?"

Lilith said, "Backlund."

The girl was stunned: "Then why did you come here? I remember that many years ago, Backlund stopped shipping through Cecil Harbor, right?"

Edward said embarrassedly: "We got off the ship halfway and took some fishing boats to get here."

"Well, you are really brave."

The girl hesitated, "In the words of our... boss, he is looking for death because he has nothing better to do."

She frowned. "I've seen many people like you, but it's the first time I've seen someone like you bring such a young child with you to seek death."

"...What about you? I think you are not ordinary people either."

"We are different."

The girl's eyes showed some confidence, but she didn't say much. "After you've waited for Bayam, you should take the nearest passenger ship back to Backlund as soon as possible. .Five￠4.Read?Books/,庚?New/嶵¨哙_"

"Of course, if you still want to go out to sea as an adventurer, leave this child in Backlund, and then... come to me. I will protect you then."

"Uh, thank you."

Soon, the group boarded the small white passenger ship, the Crimea.

The crew members who stayed on the ship immediately acted efficiently and quickly took their respective positions. In less than ten minutes, the steam passenger ship slowly left the port and headed southeast.

Not long after the Crimea left, the three pirate ships docked nearby also left the port and followed without any concealment.

So the small ship Crimea led the way, and the three large pirate ships followed behind, as they sailed into the vast and turbulent sea.

Lilith sat on the railing at the stern, rubbing her hands and whispering, "Edward, the pirates have gathered together! Can we start now?"

"Well, wait a little longer, maybe there will be more later."

Edward looked at the three pirate ships as if he was looking at three treasure troves filled with experience babies.

Suddenly, the voice of the young man in the black windbreaker came over: "How could you let her sit in such a dangerous place? Don't you know that the wind is strong on the sea and she will die if she falls down?"

He walked quickly forward, grabbed Lilith and put her on the ground.

"Well."

Edward felt inexplicably guilty under his gaze, as if he had really done something unforgivable: "Sorry."

The man in the black windbreaker snorted and said, "You should say sorry to her, not to me."

"…"

Edward had no choice but to turn to the confused Lilith and say, "Sorry, Lilith."

Lilith scratched her head and whispered, "It's okay~" - It was Miss Lilith who asked Edward to carry me up, so why did that person ask Edward to apologize to me? It's weird.

At this time, the boy who followed pointed to the distance and said anxiously: "Sir, the pirates are following us."

"I can see that."

The man in the black windbreaker looked into the distance calmly and said to the driver: "Keep speeding up."

"yes!"

Soon, with the vibration of the ship, the speed of the Crimea increased a lot, but perhaps because of the tailwind, the pirate sailboats were still hanging behind at a relatively fixed distance.

In this way, the ships maintained this state and sailed forward for a few more nautical miles. Suddenly, the three pirate sailboats began to accelerate, and the pirates on the ships also shouted excitedly.

Some of them waved their weapons and shouted, while others turned the ship's cannons and aimed at the Crimea.

A companion in the black windbreaker ran over and said, "Boss, we found a pirate ship on each side. One of them is our target, the Iron Blood, and its captain, Ace the Fire Fist."

Fire Fist Ace again?

Edward couldn't help but be surprised.

The young man in the black windbreaker raised his lips and smiled: "Send the signal, we can close the net, all the artillery are ready to load ammunition, as soon as the pirates enter the range, open fire and sink them."

"yes!"

Then several flares were fired into the air, exploding into brilliant fireworks.

"Doris, take them to the bottom of the boat and hide them there."

"Okay, boss."

The girl named Doris came over and said, "Three of you, follow me."

She took Lilith's hand and said gently, "Don't be afraid, little sister. It will be fine in a while."

Lilith blinked her eyes: "Ms. Lilith is not afraid~"

"What a strong and courageous child."

"Yes!"

Edward reacted at this time, "Did you deliberately lead those pirates here?"

"Oh, do you really think that teaching a few pirates a lesson will make them launch such a large-scale hunt?" The man in the black windbreaker smiled. "We have been planning for several days to target these guys, just for this moment to close the net and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Are you from Loon's navy?"

"Strictly speaking, no. I was just doing a favor for a former comrade."

The man in the black windbreaker showed some sarcasm, "Why, are you surprised?"

His tone suddenly changed. "Hmph, I don't care what you originally planned or what you thought, and I don't want to delve into your true identity. For the sake of that child, as long as you stay here quietly, I can ensure that you arrive safely at Bayam."

Edward frowned:

"So you're going to kill all these pirates?"

The man in black windbreaker asked, "What else? Let them continue to cause trouble to passing ships and the islanders along the way?"

"…"

Edward had a headache.

This plot line is totally different from what I expected.

I thought I had met a few daring noblemen who were out on an adventure, and I was thinking of showing off at the critical moment, and then floating away with the pirates in the shocked eyes.

After all this time, they ran into the navy's operation of hunting pirates. These seemingly reckless and daring young men were really pretending. It is estimated that each of them is an elite in the army.

But the problem is that if this happens, won't the hundreds of pirate experience treasures that have been gathered with great difficulty be wasted? Should I just tell these navy the truth? Tell them not to kill these pirates first, and let me teach them some extraordinary knowledge first?

They must think I'm sick, right?

Soon, three warships appeared from a distance. Several pirate ships reacted immediately and turned around to escape without hesitation.

"Stop them."

Following a command from Black Windbreaker, the Crimea turned sideways and aimed several cannons on the side at the pirate ship. The gunners quickly loaded and aimed, ready to fire.

At this moment, the six cannons twisted and turned into huge balloons, flying directly into the sky. The gunners standing by were stunned, watching the balloons fly higher and higher, and farther and farther.

"Colonel, the cannon turned into a balloon and flew away."
