That's a fake elf

in the cabin

"Stop pretending, what do you want to do?" Gao Lan said looking at Li Ang who was dozing on the bed.

"Ah hahaha, I really can't hide it from you." Li Ang sat up from the bed awkwardly and said to Gao Lan:

"I actually just wanted to test Drake to see if she really planned to cooperate with us."

"After all, we almost killed her before."

"..." Gao Lan raised her brows but didn't say much because she was also confused about how easily this negotiation could be concluded.

"Don't worry, the Drake I know is not that small, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted so many people to follow her."

Vimona was holding a novel that she didn't know where she came from, reading it with gusto. It wasn't until Li Ang spoke that she raised her head and said:

"Back then, because she offended the Sea Prince Perseus, she escaped from Trunks, the royal capital of the Sea Elf Kingdom. Almost two-thirds of her sailors were willing to follow her, and she eventually became her most elite [Royal Soldier] pirate】."

"Although the remaining one-third chose to stay in the Sea Elf Kingdom, they also chose to retire."

"Does she actually have such a strong personality?" Li Ang asked in disbelief.

He couldn't imagine that Drake, who easily killed people in Shipwreck Bay, could attract so many regular soldiers to defect with her.

"Although Drake treats his subordinates harshly, he is generous, fair and strict, and he never offends civilians, so he is very popular among the middle and lower classes."

Vimona nodded, supported her cheek with her right hand, and said with a smile:

"That's why the half-elves and human sailors all support her very much and regard her as their own faith."

"Every time she goes into battle, most of the trophies she captures will be distributed to her subordinates, thus offending many pure-blooded sea elf nobles."

"In addition, whenever a soldier dies, she will take part of her salary and give it to the families of the deceased as a pension."

"With such a leader, how could his subordinates not swear to serve him to the death?"

"She was born with the temperament of a king. Even if she doesn't have the blood of the Mermaid Queen, she deserves to be the queen of the world."

"I want to know, how did she gather so much wealth and build a huge fleet?" Gao Lan held [Dirandal] tightly, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.

"When she first became a pirate, she was doing business without capital."

Vimona lay on the table and said casually:

"Because she is very popular and has a high reputation, most pirates and thieves in other sea areas are willing to cooperate with her and provide information."

"Utilizing the high-speed movement ability of the [Golden Antler], she quickly robbed smuggling ships from the three countries of Vastia, Sasha, and Atlanti, accumulated funds, and built a warship."

"Later she was recruited and became the Duke of the Griffin Kingdom. She not only owned a large number of warships, but also had an identity and status. Therefore, many people were willing to be loyal to her in exchange for glory, wealth and titles."

"With people and battleships, she can easily seize many resource areas in the Overlook Sea and the Black Sea."

"By buying and selling various precious materials between Enroth and the Eastern Continent, in just ten years, she established a huge trade network, making her as rich as any country."

"Gao Lan, haven't you heard of Drake when you were in Gaotang Kingdom?" Li Ang asked curiously, looking at Gao Lan's eyes shining brightly.

"No." Gao Lan shook his head and said with some doubts:

"Before going to sea, I had never heard of Drake. She seems to be deliberately not getting close to Gaotang Kingdom. She seems to be afraid of something."

"This is not surprising. The Kingdom of Vastia established trade relations with your Gaotang Kingdom more than 500 years ago. Your court has always only cooperated with them."

Vimona glanced at Gao Lan and said with a smile:

"After the rise of the Pirate King, Vastia has been offering high bounties to Vastia, the Mage Alliance, and the Sea Elf Kingdom every year to combat pirates. Of course, Drake will not appear blatantly in your land. "

"I see, but where did these artillery pieces on her ship come from? These things should be contraband, right?" Gao Lan glanced at the fixed artillery pieces on the ship and frowned.

"You haven't heard of Drake's name, but you should have heard of Fuso's Ocean Heart Chamber of Commerce!"

"Well, I've heard that the pearls, rubies, jade and various war horses sold by their chamber of commerce are of high quality. They have always been in hot demand in the Gaotang Kingdom and are treasures that the nobles covet." Gao Lan nodded.

"This chamber of commerce is supported by Drake. Materials such as rubies, jade, and war horses were all smuggled by Drake from the Enros continent."

Vimona said with a smile.

"What?" Gao Lan was surprised.

"What's so strange about that."

Weimona rolled her eyes at Gao Lan, tapped her fingers on the table, and explained with a smile:

"Drake has many men. Although most of them are free-range, there are also a few elites. To arm these elites, you need to spend a lot of money."

"The best way to earn wealth quickly is through smuggling. Her identity is destined to enjoy many privileges in the continent of Enroth."

"Even if the royal family of the Griffin Kingdom knew that she was smuggling war horses, weapons and other contraband to other countries, they could only acquiesce."

"Because she has full wings and has given so many benefits."

Just when Gao Lan wanted to know more about Drake, the door was pushed open.

The person who came in was Drake. At this time, she was wearing a tight formal suit, showing off her delicate figure to the fullest. She was obviously ready to meet important people.

"You...why did you come in without knocking?" Li Ang looked at the heroic Drake and stammered.

"Tch, I thought you guys were going to have a threesome. It's really boring." Derek stroked his red hair from his ears, glanced at Li Ang's figure, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She originally thought that Li Ang, a high elf, would be thin, but she didn't expect that the muscles hidden under the robe were so solid.

"What's there to see?" Li Ang picked up the robe next to him and held it in front of him, like a girl who had been violated.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that Your Highness, Princess, would be so good at choosing a partner. I thought you would choose a sweet cream, but unexpectedly it would be a strong drink that will make you sweet?"

Derek smacked his lips, glanced at Li Ang's feminine face, and said with a smile.

"Shameless!" Gao Lan blushed and was so angry that he almost stabbed someone.

"It's a pity. Although I quite like his face, he is a man after all. Unless he drinks the cursed spring and turns into a woman, I will never consider it."

Derek shrugged and said with a smile.

"Are you here to cause trouble?" Li Ang comforted Gao Lan, put on his robe, and asked Drake.

"I'm here to inform you that I'm going to the Griffin Kingdom. If you want to go with me, I don't mind."

Drake glanced at Li Ang and Gao Lan, moved a chair very naturally and sat down, crossing his legs.

This alluring performance made Li Ang unable to take his eyes away.

"..."

Seeing the look in Gao Lan's eyes, Li Ang quickly put away his little thoughts and immediately replied:

"Forget it, I have no thoughts about the past for the time being."

"You'd better draw up an agreement and let Vimona take it to Longwu Island."

"It's because there are people you know well in the Griffin Kingdom, and you don't dare to meet them now, right?" Derek showed a weird smile, which made Leon's pupils shrink.

[How does this guy know? 】 Li Ang felt a chill behind his back, feeling as if he had been seen through.

He has three acquaintances in the Griffin Kingdom, and Li Ang is the one who feels more guilty.

The first one was his brother. Not long after he went to the Griffin Kingdom, he was forced to go there by his mother. Despite this, his brother did not bear any grudge against him. Instead, he helped him enter the Holy Church for further study, allowing him to obtain The power of self-preservation.

The second one is his teacher, Archbishop Adela of Michael Cathedral. She tried her best to train Li Ang and tried to make Li Ang an outstanding archbishop.

As a result, as soon as a rebellion broke out in the Griffin Kingdom, Li Ang left without saying goodbye. When he returned to Fanathil, he switched to the Druid religion and never contacted her again.

The third is Adela's niece Ilia, a noble girl who dreams of becoming a knight.

Li Ang was both her teacher and friend, and he had made a promise with her to help her become the first female leader of the Royal Knights and change the status quo of the Griffin Kingdom, but he broke his promise.

These three people were something he didn't dare to see at the moment.

"Li Ang, what's wrong with you?" Gao Lan asked quickly, looking at Li Ang's face that turned blue and white.

"No...it's nothing. Since Duke Drake is leaving, we won't disturb him. Gao Lan, let's go."

Li Ang glanced at Drake, who was smiling, and felt that he might need to learn more about Drake through Vimona. This feeling that others knew everything about him, but he was unclear about the other person. It's so uncomfortable.

"Haha, we will meet again soon." Derek looked at the backs of the two people leaving in a hurry, with a strange smile on his lips.
