Twilight West, Hudgens House, the last night before going north.

　　 "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to come to see me at home!" Huggins saw the king appear at the door of the room, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and struggled to get up from the bed.

　　 Todd stepped forward quickly and held his shoulders: "Lie down, lie down."

　　 Regardless of dissuasion, Hudgens held on to the edge of the bed and sat up, trying his best to endure the dull pain from his spine, with a smile on his face.

　　 Todd asked concerned: "How is the wound?"

　　 "Recently, I have been doing rehabilitation training under the supervision of monks, and now I can walk down the ground for an hour every day." Huggins smiled and patted his chest, and said indifferently.

　　 Todd nodded and said, "That's good, hurry up and recover your body, the Kingdom has many things waiting for you to do."

　　 After chatting with Hudgens for a few more words, Todd handed over the gifts he had brought to the hands of the other's wife and daughter, and left the house with excuses.

　　 Looking back at the door of the mansion, Huggins, who was supported by his wife and insisted on sending off the king, Todd waved his hand and got into the carriage of the carriage.

　　Rachel sat in his seat, quietly waiting for the arrival of the king.

"Let's go back."

　　 The guards heard the king's order and began to move in the direction of the headquarters of the Knight Order.

　　 Todd lowered the curtains of the carriage to isolate the street scene from the view, and sighed softly.

　　Rachel asked softly, "Is this the last one tonight?"

　　 "Yes, all those who need to say goodbye, this is the last one."

　　 "Your Majesty, I can understand your feelings, but you should also know that every day we delay now, your life will pass by one day..."

　　 Todd rolled up his sleeves and looked at the wound caused by the change, which has spread to most of his forearm, and said helplessly: "I understand, in any case, tomorrow morning is the day we set off."

　　 Early in the morning the next day, the sky was just getting light and there were few pedestrians on the street.

　　 A man and a woman, all wrapped in black robes, drove the horse to leave the headquarters of the Knight Order through the back door and rushed to the Port of Muxi.

　　 Aisha's "Black Pearl", anchored early in the harbor's space. Its captain took off the heavy ground-mopping robe, and his long, supple, black hair was tied into a bun, his body was slightly dark, and he was wearing a leather armor that didn't fit too well.

　　 Looking at the Kingdom token raised by Rachel, Aisha frowned, looked at the hidden passenger behind the woman, and said, "Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

When passing by the two, Aisha raised her head, her pupils of different colors gleaming: "I don't care who you were, it is my cargo on my ship. If you dare to do anything wrong I don’t mind throwing you into the sea with my own hands for actions that fit the status of "cargo"!"

　　Rachel nodded, pulling Todd straight off the deck.

　　 "Weird guy."

　　 The whispers from the sailors caused Ayesha to pull out the dagger unhappily, and throw a hand on the high mast.

　　 "Shut up! Back to your respective positions, let us leave here!"

　　 Todd sitting in the cabin, feeling the slight vibration under him, and the sound of the sails opening in his ears.

　　 On the tall window, the direction of the sun slowly changed, and the hull slowly left the plank road in the harbor.

　　 The sight of the twilight hills in West Side, farther and farther in the field of vision, Todd glanced at Rachel who was looking around in the cabin, and said with a volume that he could only hear: "Goodbye, Twilight West."

　　——————————————

　　 "Black Pearl" left the Port of Muxi and sailed for two full days.

　　 Unlike previous trips by boat, the days of sailing on the sea are boring and boring.

　　In the cabin, it took a few minutes to enter the soul space, after finishing a brief regular meeting with the officials of Twilight City. Todd listened to the sound of the waves outside the ship, flipping through the books he was carrying bored.

　　 For this voyage, Rachel made detailed preparations.

　　 Food, clothes, books and even experimental equipment are all properly prepared.

　　 In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Todd listened to Rachel's suggestion to compress his activity space in the cabin, even if it was a meal, the latter would take it for him.

　　 But soon, the scolding and arguing from the deck made him have to put down the book in his hand. Putting on the robe, using the "transformation" ability gifted by Clawrence, turned his face into a somewhat heroic young man, opened the door and walked up the stairs.

　　Rachel stood on the deck, with a strong sailor wailing at his feet. The latter was sweating profusely, clutching his right arm that was twisted into a weird posture, and couldn't help cursing all kinds of foul language in his mouth.

　　 "You broke my arm! You bitch! I'm going to strip your clothes naked and hang you on the mast to dry your body!"

　　 Todd walked up to Rachel and cast a concerned look at him.

　　 The woman shook her head, indicating that she was OK.

　　 "What's the matter?!" Aisha carried her dagger and wore a sailor's short robe on the deck, staring fiercely among the sailors and passengers, and finally placed her gaze on Rachel's body.

　　 "It seems that your men are not too obedient." Rachel wiped the dust off his body and smiled at the captain.

　　 Aisha immediately understood what had happened. She knew too much about these crude and vulgar subordinates. After entering the high seas, this group of people immediately revealed their pirate nature, which is really a normal thing.

　　 Aisha lowered her voice and roared fiercely: "I said! They are precious goods! Take care of the thing in your crotch, don't let me spend any more words!"

　　 There is a tall man with gold teeth in the hands of the sailor. Yin and Yang said strangely: "As a captain, shouldn't you care about your crew first?"

　　 Todd followed the sound, and there were seven or eight people standing beside "Golden Tooth", and they started to booze at the same time.

　　 "The chief mate is right!"

　　 "That's right! Besides, it was this woman who moved the hand first!"

　　 "Even if it's cargo, can't it be done by touching it? Hahaha!"

　　 "It's been two days since sailing! Why didn't the captain tell us where the destination is?!"

　　 Todd turned his head to look at Aisha, the latter's expression was frosty, his figure remained unchanged, but the dagger in his hand was trembling slightly.

　　 A 22-year-old female pirate, even if her father’s name is louder, it might be difficult to convince the public.

　　 "Mr. Derek, your female companion hurt my hand. We must talk about compensation."

　　 Todd closed his eyes, smiled and nodded: "Of course there is no problem, let me think about it."

　　 In the next moment, Todd called Rachel into the Institute of Soul Space, and said to her, "If we seize the command of this ship now, is it feasible?"

Rachel shook his head: "It has only been sailing for two days now, and there is still a long distance from the northern icy sea. I don't recommend seizing ships now. First, we have no experience in sailing. Even if we seize ships, we cannot Do not rely on the crew to continue sailing; secondly, we have to rely on the daughter of Barbarossa to guide us. According to my intelligence, she has sailed to the northern icefields, without her cooperation, it is like being there. Between the glaciers like spider silk, we probably have no way to reach the destination."

　　 "Then what shall we do now? Give the money and hold them back?"

"No, I have another idea." Rachel said while sitting on the swivel chair in the office, holding his chin while thinking, "A sailor just said something~lightnovelpub.net~ which made me a little concerned. ..."

　　 Todd's mind flashed, and he asked, "'It's been two days since sailing! Why didn't the captain tell us where the destination is?!' Is this the sentence?"

Richel glanced at Todd approvingly and nodded: "Yes, that's the sentence. According to my guess, the sailor's harassment of me should be a deliberate provocation. On the one hand, Captain Black Pearl Before the voyage, the crew was not told their destination, which might have caused a lot of dissatisfaction. On the other hand, some sailors coveted Aisha's leadership. Together, these two things have caused today's provocation. Someone wanted to take advantage of this to suppress her prestige."

　　 Todd recalled the scene on the boat, and said: "The leader is the chief mate with gold teeth."

　　Rachel nodded: "Yes, it should be him."

　　 Todd pondered for a moment, and suggested, "Then we might be able to help clear this group of people."

"This is a way, but it's not the best way." Rachel fiddled with the mouse on the table and said softly: "It is not difficult to use our ability to obliterate these disobedient dregs, but In this way, it is bound to arouse Ayesha to be wary and alert to us. After all, two powerful alien species suddenly appeared on her ship, and this kind of thing would not be willing to see it on any captain's turn. It’s not good. In the end, this young pirate captain may be pushed to the opposite side of us."

　　 Todd understood her meaning in an instant: "You want to intensify this contradiction and let Aisha do it herself to remove the unstable factors on the voyage."
