Traveler in the Pirate World

Since returning to his residence that day, Rui has been silent for a long time, as if he had lost his language. He always locks himself in a dark room, looking down at the people coming and going through the window.

He saw nobles dressed in luxurious clothes, sitting in luxurious and exquisite carriages, walking recklessly on the streets. Most of those who bumped into them would be severely beaten by the accompanying guards, and there was no sympathy for their fellow men in their ferocious expressions.

He saw the common people kowtow and beg for mercy, the rich businessmen fawning and flattering, and the gangsters acting recklessly...

Good-hearted people bravely stepped forward to help, but most of them became new victims, and no one really saved anything.

Countless civilians are still struggling day and night to fill their stomachs. Crops such as Golden Ear of Rice are sold at sky-high prices by high-ranking nobles. Countless businessmen are busy trying to get them done, and the prices are getting higher and higher.

Rui had never paid attention to these things before. He was always busy studying, either in the fields or in the study.

Now Rui is watching all this in silence, his mind is in a mess, this world is not what he imagined.

Late at night, Rui woke up from a nightmare. The girl on the dining table looked like a piece of white jade. Her beautiful face was lowered, her eyebrows were tightly closed, and her long black hair was scattered on her slender back. Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

However, the next moment, countless pieces of flesh and blood fell off the girl's body, as if countless invisible monsters were tearing it apart. In just a moment, only a bloody and dry skeleton was left.

Blood flowed along the table top, dyeing the white tablecloth red and soaking the luxurious carpet. With a crisp sound of crackling, the white bones scattered all over the ground, making a clanging vibration. The skull with messy black hair fell crookedly on the table. The dark eyes stared at Rui, unwillingness, resentment, sadness... Like a strong wind blowing in his face, Rui woke up with a scream. Sweat soaked his whole body, and the coldness from the bone marrow made him tremble uncontrollably.

After a long time, Rui turned his head to look at the hazy white moon, and his heart slowly calmed down. He had to go back, as it was an agreement!

Three years passed in a blink of an eye. During these years, Rui seemed to have slowly figured it out. He slowly compromised and began to work for the king. There were many more beautiful flowers in the Gordon Kingdom. The Celestial Dragons who came to visit every year praised it very much. The old king also seemed to slowly relax his surveillance on him. Looking at his back as he boarded the ship and went away, the depths of his smiling eyes were actually icy and chilling.

"Why can't he figure it out?" The king still had a smile on his face, but he didn't show any joy. "If the lowly people in this world can have enough food with just one or two acres of land, they will have a lot of ideas in their minds, and the world will be in chaos. This king is also thinking about the people of this world!

Only when they are hungry, their minds are filled with only food, only when they are hungry, they don’t have the energy to mess around, and only when they are hungry, they can live a down-to-earth life. "

"At least he has compromised, right? Sooner or later he will crawl at your Majesty's feet!" The minister stood behind him respectfully.

"No, this is not his level, he could have brought me more benefits!" The king casually threw a fragrant seven-color flower into the sea and watched it rise and fall under the waves. "Forget it, it can't be used by me after all, so I'll just throw it away!"

"Are you all ready?" After saying that, the king turned around and looked at the minister calmly.

"Everything is ready, Your Majesty! We will not fail this time, and everything they have will belong to us."

……

A familiar yet unfamiliar island emerged at the junction of the sea and the sky. Under Rui's calm face, there was excitement and excitement that could hardly be suppressed.

After three years, he finally gained the king's trust and had a chance to escape. Now the only ones who were in a bit of trouble were the so-called protectors around him who were actually solid guards.

Thinking of this, Rui's eyes inadvertently swept over the accompanying guards. His fingers gently brushed over the short blade hidden in his sleeve, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He was no longer the same person he used to be.

Rui can't let these guys really come into contact with Old Benny and the others. He needs to deal with them on this ship, and do it without mercy.

The ship slowly approached the harbor, and Rui moved forward naturally, as if he wanted to take a good look at the place where he had lived for a long time. However, when he passed by an armed guard, something unexpected happened to everyone.

The frail young man who seemed to be only good at studying, flashed a cold light in his hand. The guard only felt a chill in his throat, blood flowed on his neck, and bloody foam blocked his throat.

Before he could make any move, he was dragged up by a huge force and blocked several fast-flying lead bullets, completely killing him.

The one who fired the shot was the captain of the escort team. He looked at Rui in surprise and said, "I was wondering how you were going to get rid of us. I didn't expect it to be such a direct method.

Fortunately, we were very careful and on guard, and you used some weird plants to deal with us? How boring." Although he said it with great momentum, his palms were sweating at this moment. He couldn't see the other party's movements clearly. How could this guy be the weak scholar in his image?

Rui had no intention of wasting time talking to them. He had to get rid of everyone on the ship before it docked. He couldn't do this three years ago, but now he could. What old Benny taught him was never just simple botanical knowledge. When traveling on this uneasy sea, strength is more important than anything else.

He grasped the pistol on the guard's waist and shot the guard who was raising the gun beside him. He used the guard's body as a shield and took three or two steps forward. His figure flashed in front of others and there was a sound of a thud. Another person lost his life in the panic gunfire of the guards, which made everyone look horrified.

The guard leader was horrified, "Is this guy a monster?" He did not even bother to reload his bullets, but drew out the long sword from his waist and shouted, "Let's go together, this guy is alone!"

Hearing this, the morale of the team suddenly rose sharply. Everyone thought to themselves, "Yes, there are so many of us, why should we be afraid of just one person!" They drew their swords fearlessly and rushed forward. For a while, there were constant shouts and sounds of gunfire on the deck.

Only the captain of the guards was lagging behind the others. When he rushed to the side of the ship, he plunged into the sea without most people noticing. "Only a psycho would fight with such a monster."

The captain of the guard dived into the sea, as if he was going to die. He swam underwater for more than ten meters before surfacing. He seemed to hear faint screams in his ears. He took a deep breath and dived into the sea again. He didn't even have the courage to look back. Who is stupid enough to risk his life for work? Only by staying alive can one make achievements.

Rui stood at the bow, with guards lying in all directions behind him, his clothes stained with blood. He looked at the figure disappearing under the sea, his brows full of coldness. He never expected that the other party would escape so easily. He just hated that his medicine didn't work and the king didn't trust him at all.

Rui also thought about attacking the king directly, but the minister who had always been beside the king made him give up the idea. That guy was very strong.

Three years of disguise had always been just a joke, which made Rui instinctively feel a little uneasy. Looking at the wealthy port, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious and irritated, but he didn't want to think too much about it, as it would make him despair.

Leaping into the sea and letting the helmless ship drift with the wind, Rui struggled to move towards the direction he had been dreaming of.

At this moment, the embarrassed figure of the captain of the guard, when passing through the city gate, handed a secret letter to the kingdom army who had been waiting for a long time, and then turned and headed towards the navy stationed there.

The king never looked down on a smart man like Rui, even though his intelligence had nothing to do with worldly matters. Rui didn't know that in the eyes of the king and the nobles, he was actually the madman. How could there be such a person in the world who didn't care about worldly interests?

However, the knowledge and skills in the mind of such a person have economic value that he himself is not aware of. The king greedily tries to get it all and will do anything to achieve it.
