Global Mining.

10 o'clock in the evening, Golden Continent Time, Silver Offshore.

More than a hundred ships of all sizes from the Silver City fleet went to sea to search for the missing Golden Maryland Guard. Sariel, Remiya, and all the officers and soldiers of the original frigate gathered on the flagship Silver Queen to direct the search.

Although Sariel succeeded in delaying half an hour to shirk responsibility, after all, it was a warship of the Golden Empire, and the Lord of Silver City attached great importance to it, not only dispatching nearly the entire city's fleet. At the same time, with the consent of the mermaid, a giant whale was sent to search.

When things got to this point, Sariel seriously suspected that the city lord wanted to take this opportunity to sneak attack on the Thousand Islands Sea and launch a general attack on the pirates!

After all, both "defection" and "robbery" can only be related to pirates. But if we really want to attack pirates, how do we face sirens? Then we have to bring the mermaid with us, right? But as a patron saint, mermaids cannot attack mortals in principle, so it would be inappropriate to bring a mermaid with them...

Sariel has a big head. Because the entire operation is led by the city lord and the derelict captain, as a sage, I have no decision-making power, at least not now!

As for Remia, her expression was solemn throughout.

Sariel somewhat didn't understand. Even though she had a major responsibility for losing Zhan Silver City, the responsibility didn't have a particularly big impact on her. Was she just worried about the father of the city lord? But as the most valued cultural envoy of the empire,

As a fair and just saint of the church, she doesn't seem to be the worried type. The ship in front sent another report: "A Sea Serpent treasure hunting ship was found in the outer sea, claiming that it did not see the missing battleship."

Sariel suddenly felt something was wrong: "Sea Serpent? Who were the two ships we encountered earlier?"

The steward replied: "Sea, Sea Otter!"

Sariel felt a sense of déjà vu and immediately looked through the sailing diary from half a month ago, that is, the day he just caught the mermaid. On his way back, he also discovered several treasure hunting ships around him.

After checking the records and the time, there are really just a few of them!

Especially the Sea Otter is the most suspicious! Is it the Pirate King? Only the Pirate King was qualified to be the intervening NPC who snatched the mermaid gift package, but the Pirate King at that time did not take action. Now that the imperial frigate is missing, only the Pirate King has this ability!

Then came another report: “A Sponge treasure hunter has been sighted again, claimed not to have been found -

Sponge number! All four ships are here!

Sariel felt that he could not miss any opportunity to make meritorious deeds: "Captain, I think these four treasure hunting ships are very suspicious!"

Having said this, Sariel glanced at Remiya. Remiya's solemn expression softened obviously, and she cast an expectant look at him!

Sariel was very confident: "We should capture all four treasure hunting ships we encountered before and after!"

The derelict captain was already frantic with anxiety: "Catch him! Catch him quickly! It's better to catch him by mistake than let him go!"

The captain of the Silver Queen issued an order: "Attention all fleets, surround the four treasure-hunting ships Sponge, Sea Serpent, Jellyfish, and Sea Otter, and prepare to capture—"

As the order was issued, fire came from all over the dark ocean!

The headquarters immediately became noisy: "Report, the other party's light control has activated the fog concealment technique—"

"Report! The Sea Otter speeds up and escapes." Report! The Sea Serpent fired flash bombs at our ship——"

Sariel became excited: "The other party is obviously prepared, it is indeed them!"

The captain did not hesitate: "The whole ship is moving forward at full speed!!"

At this point, Sariel feels that his role has been played. As for whether he can catch the Pirate King and whether he can recover the frigate - Sariel still hopes that he will not be able to recover it. After all, the frigate can only be purchased if it falls into the hands of pirates. Key equipment technology. Of course, I don’t think the Pirate King can be caught so easily.

Therefore, this battle should also delay a lot of time and allow the frigate to escape more smoothly-·

Then, Sariel also felt that it was time for Michael to take action: "Boss——"

Michael was helpless: "I know."

Golden throne.

Michael came out of the airship modification factory first. The progress was very satisfactory and he was expected to sail in one day.

Then I went to the library again and saw Mr. Clown and Gauss having a selfless discussion on the mathematics bookshelf. I was relieved and decided not to disturb them anymore.

Finally, at Sariel's request, he went to the Hall of Valor and once again transformed into a butler and entered Remiya's mansion.

However, this time the entry was completely out of sync. In reality, Remia was not in the mansion, but on the boat.

So Michael decided not to ask anything and just waited quietly to see what she did. If she just sleeps and makes no movement... Michael can only wait until tomorrow night. Or go to the Bronze Flower Mansion.

Fortunately, Remia did not sleep. She was wandering anxiously in the hall, obviously affected by the war on the front line.

Michael secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her state of anxiety was the easiest one to "tell the truth in dreams".

Seeing the butler appear, Remiya greeted: "Butler, help me make a pot of Lauder coffee."

Of course, Michael had to take the initiative and say: "Miss, drinking coffee at night will affect your sleep."

Remiya sighed: "I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well wake up."

"Miss, wait a moment."

Michael made coffee and still waited beside him without asking a word. If you ask, something is very likely to happen, but if you don't ask, it will stimulate her desire to talk, and she will take the initiative to talk.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Remiya took one sip of coffee after another, but there was still no sign of opening her mouth.

Michael was also patient and stood aside without any sense of presence. Michael was helpless. He really didn't want to come here unless he had to.

At this moment, the naval battle on Sariel's side came to fruition: all four treasure-hunting ships escaped!

Remiya in the command room looked expectant and nervous, and suddenly felt lonely!

At the same time, Remia, who was drinking coffee in the Hall of Valor, fell over her cup.

Michael immediately went up to clean the table: "Miss, be careful."

Remiya sighed helplessly: "What should I do?"

Michael said nervously and cautiously: "Perhaps, I can help the lady think of a solution?"

Remia said helplessly: "Although I tried my best to lead the accident in the direction of the Imperial Navy's defection, the aura of a powerful evil spirit remains at the scene. Could it be the Pirate King?"

Sariel, who was watching the live broadcast from the side, was excited: "She indeed discovered the aura of evil spirits, and her thoughts were indeed the same as mine!"

Gabriel said angrily: "Don't make any noise, don't interfere with the boss's thinking!"

Fortunately, Michael thought clearly: "Miss, if it was an ordinary pirate who stole the warship, we indeed have an unshirkable responsibility, but he is the Pirate King! We can publicize it so much that the Pirate King's strength will be revealed after he has been dormant for a hundred years. To exaggerate greatly, it is better to give a very powerful The folk nickname is one that even the empire will be afraid of if they hear it. In this way, we will have no fault. Even the defection can be interpreted as the powerful mental restraint of the Pirate King. In this way, the responsibility of the officers and soldiers on the frigate will be minimized. The officers and soldiers will definitely cooperate with us!”

Remia was surprised: "Exaggerating the strength of the Pirate King? Then what kind of nickname is powerful?"

Michael thought for a while: "Just the Lord of the Underworld!"

Remiya took a sip of coffee and finally calmed down: "It makes sense! You still have a way!"

Michael was very pleased, and while she was happy, he immediately boldly asked the important point: "How is the treatment of the evil spirit mine, Miss?"

Remiya let out a long sigh: "I made a mistake and handled it badly.'

Michael was startled, but he pretended to be calm and calmed her down: "The worst thing is that the warship is stolen. Miss, don't worry about other trivial matters."

Remiya shook her head and sighed: "I regret it very much. What if the battleship was stolen because of my mistake?"

Michael couldn't believe it: "How could Miss?"

Remiya said in a deep voice: "I seriously suspect that Dachunli Yingwai collaborated with the Pirate King to let go of the evil spirits in the entire mining area!"

Michael was shocked: "The evil spirit ran away?!"

Remia sighed: "Then the Pirate King and these escaped evil spirits stole the battleship!"

Michael hurriedly asked: "Why does the Pirate King want to save these evil spirits?"

Remia said: "Because the mithril hidden by the evil spirits a hundred years ago was not buried in the mines at all, but was smuggled out in collusion with the Pirate King."

Michael asked in surprise: “Miss, do you have any evidence for this?

Remiya sighed: "There is no evidence! It's just that I have always been suspicious. Since this Dachun revealed that he has a relationship with the Pirate King, I put Dachun into this evil spirit mine. It just so happened that he was a sacrilege Gods will be regarded as the same kind by evil spirits, making it easier to investigate."

Michael then understood: "So, the final result proved the lady's suspicion!"

Remiya sighed: "It seems so!"

Michael could only comfort him: "Miss, this is actually a good thing! Firstly, after determining the whereabouts of mithril, there is no need to worry about keeping the mine a secret, otherwise it will be troublesome if the empire finds out. Secondly, let it run away These evil spirits are one less hidden danger in the city, and we can still continue to explore the mining area."

Remiya nodded: "Actually, I think so too."

Michael smiled and said: "So Miss is not wrong at all! The battleship was stolen only because the Imperial Navy itself was corrupted. On the contrary, this accident will alert the Empire. Miss, this is the greatest good thing she has done secretly, Miss No need to blame yourself at all.”

Remiya's expression relaxed instantly: "That makes sense! As soon as the housekeeper said this, I immediately felt at ease. Well, I can finally sleep well."

Michael smiled: "Good night, miss."

At this moment, all the big guys watching the live broadcast in the chat group suddenly realized!

Sariel sighed: "I finally understand that she actually has no responsibility. Why does she seem to be the most panicked? That's it!"

Gabriel sighed: "It seems that this Hall of Heroes is really necessary! Last time, she only said that Dachun's blasphemous body would investigate mithril, and she did not mention the factor of the Pirate King."

Michael sighed: "So the intelligence of this NPC is wrapped in secrets layer by layer, just like the skin of an onion."

Sariel was a little nervous: "If a group of strong evil spirits from a hundred years ago were allowed to steal a battleship, wouldn't it be the same as the emergence of a new pirate force? Will it become the force of Dachun?"

Metatron smiled and said: "Becoming his power? Are you looking down too high on him? Even we sages can't grasp the basics of our respective cities."

Michael asked: "What's going on in Dachun now?"

Metatron smiled and said: "I woke up again just now and continued to sweep the tunnel."

Michael said: "Be vigilant!"
