Realm of Power

571 A woman from a foreign continent (2)

The atmosphere in the cabin seemed a bit dull. Fleet Commander Dustrom listened intently to Adjutant Elek's explanation while looking at the map on the table.

The light from the fixed torch in the cabin shone on his uncertain face, flickering on and off with the swaying hull, just like the unclear future. As for the explanation brought back by the adjutant, Durstrunkeith thought about it and felt Only this explanation is the most appropriate

"What does the storm mean?" Dostronkai muttered, picking up the map on the table again, staring at the black stains for a long time, his burning eyes wishing to burn the animal skin.

There was hesitation on Dostelenko's face. This decision was too difficult. It was no different from gambling. Even with Dostelenko's boldness, he would not dare to risk the entire raiding fleet and thousands of naval elites on fate. Make decisions easily,

What's more, the identities of the two women haven't been figured out yet. If it's true, that's fine. If it's the enemy's conspiracy, he will really be a sinner of the kingdom.

"Sir, that's what the Shinv explained. He said that if we don't stop the ship, we will never be able to get out." Adjutant Elek responded with an embarrassed look. The fleet has been sailing in the storm for half a day, and there is still no sign of getting out. The storm is getting bigger and bigger, as if it is alive and really moving with our fleet. "

"It's so abominable. Is it really a living sea?"

Dostelenko frowned and slapped his hand heavily on the map on the table. "In this situation, we can only take a gamble."

He finally made up his mind and ordered to the adjutant beside him: "Order the entire fleet to anchor on the spot and all sailors on the deck to enter the cabin. Pay attention to the distance between the ships and prevent the waves from crashing together."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Adjutant Elek responded loudly and ran out. The heavy rain outside pounded on the deck of the ship.

As the order was issued, more than a dozen warships in the plundering fleet were all standing in the middle of the storm. With the command to stop the ship, "Everyone on the deck made a creaking sound with the winches pushed hard by more than a dozen sailors.

"Bang bang" The anchor made of pig iron made a harsh metal friction sound at the bow of the ship. It fell heavily from the more than ten-meter-high hull into the excited waves, splashing up water columns several meters high.

"Quick, get everything to the bottom of the cabin"

The sailors on the ship quickly evacuated from the deck. Although they didn't know the meaning of the flagship, everyone knew that they were afraid of encountering something bad this time.

In weather like this, many old sailors think that they have encountered the most mysterious trace of the box. When encountering a storm, all the cold will pour in. Only all the ships can rush out of the storm if they unite as one, even the most temperamental ones. The irritable Captain Frye just said something wrong before giving the order to stop the ship.

Such an unbearable time passed for more than an hour, but in everyone's mind it felt like a year had passed.

From time to time, the turbulent waves crossed the side of the ship and slapped on the cabin. The fleet rose and fell with the waves, and giant waves came in. From time to time, creaking sounds could be heard from the deck.

"Boom, boom, boom" rolling thunder surged, and silver lightning tore through the dark clouds, illuminating the sky and earth in an instant. The clouds were very low, as if they were covering everyone's heads.

In a certain cabin of the flagship, the ugly Shinv who proposed to stop the ship also raised his head, looking deeply at the black sky outside the window, with an indifferent expression on his face, as if he had never said such big talk as stopping the ship.

"Miss, is this really effective?"

Next to her, the beautiful lady in a black dress had fear written all over her face at the moment. She was scared to death just now when she was asked to read the note, and now she was even more like an ant on a hot pot. She almost knelt down and begged this man. The dark clouds dispersed immediately so that those vicious pirates would not take revenge on themselves.

"Haha, of course it's fake, I lied to them."

Ugly shinv's face was cold, and there was still no change at all, but there was a hint of naughtiness in his voice.

theirs. . . . . "Shinv, who was dressed as a young lady, was so frightened that his body trembled, his face turned pale, he muttered in a low voice, and said in a crying voice

"If the truth were told, we would really be feeding the sharks."

Turritkolin sighed and said in a solemn voice, "Do you know the true meaning of that note? If translated according to Salandian, it is that only a pure virgin can calm Hou's anger. Except for the two of us on this ship, Are there other women? If we tell them the truth, we will really be thrown into the sea to quell Hou’s anger.”

"Ah, this is really scary." Shinv was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his body was shaking and he was helpless. "What can we do? If those pirates find out that we have been deceived, they won't throw us away immediately."

"Actually, this is just a storm that moves with the undercurrent. The seasons change every year. Such situations are not uncommon. You just need to wait for the storm to pass."

Turrit Colleen looked away from the window, turned her head, looked at the frightened Shinv, and said in a calm voice

"The reason why I didn't point it out at the beginning was just to see if these people were pirates or the navy of a certain force. Now I can be sure that they are not pirates who went to sea for pay. Otherwise, how could they have such an undercurrent? Even Baofeng doesn’t know, the most likely possibility is that it’s the navy of a certain force.”

"navy"

Shinv glanced at Turrit Colleen with a strange expression, and said cautiously, "Miss, I remember that the most famous Master Dedeke in the family once predicted that you would be the first person in the Burrows family to marry the great monarch openly. nv people."

"Nonsense, that prophecy has long been denied by my father. My sister Terry Dolly married into the Francis royal family last year. She is the first woman in the family to marry a great monarch."

Turrit Colleen said in an embarrassed voice. Although there was no expression on her face, her neck was red and pink. The Great Monarch is the title of the co-owner of several kingdoms in that continent. Although the Burrows family is in a different continent. It has a deep foundation, but also because it has too much ominous color. Not to mention the great monarch, even the ordinary monarch of a small country will not marry a witch girl as his concubine.

"Are you talking about that marriage that shocked the entire family? It was a great dynasty that lasted for five hundred years." Black Skirt Shinv said with an envious look. "I heard that in addition to the mainland, the Francis Empire also had three small vassal states, and its territory almost covered the entire country. We have crossed most of the Norin Sea, and I heard that Kyoto is Fort Drake located on the seaside.”

"Who do you think the Francis royal family is?" Looking at the envious look on Shinv's face, Turrit Colleen curled up her lips and said in a condensing voice, "Who doesn't know that the current Francis empire is no longer one hundred and fifty?" Years ago, that powerful empire spanned two countries,

The power of the empire is now completely divided among a group of important ministers in the DPRK. Not only are there many princes in the country, but they lost to the Kingdom of France and Switzerland in the east in the war three years ago. Even several of the former vassals no longer obey the empire. It is said that no one will pay attention to the orders of that useless Majesty after leaving the palace. Can such a person be called a great monarch? "

"Then what kind of person can be called a great monarch?"

Shinv looked at his young lady with a suspicious expression. Turrit Colleen's arrogance was well-known in the family. In addition, the prophecy that made the whole family nervous made this girl carry her with her since she was a child. a sense of mystery

"Have you ever heard of the Vekia Falcon?" Turrit Colleen's eyes flickered and she looked out the window with longing and said, "That is a real hero who used the poor and weak Vekia Kingdom to fight against the strongest ones on this continent. country, I heard that they have recently seized control of the northern grasslands from the powerful Kujit people. Only such a person can be called a great monarch. This time I just want to go to the north to see if this person really looks like the legend. That’s awesome”

"You mean that fool king?"

shinv’s face was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized. “No wonder the lady wanted to take this boat that could cross the Salander defense line. It turned out that she was going to the Kingdom of Wikiya further north. I heard that it was just a lucky trip. He is an astonishing fool. Although he is born into a noble family, he doesn’t even understand the etiquette of the nobles. No one in his army is a knight. He is just a bandit. Can such a person be called a great monarch? "

"You know what, a true king is not judged by a person's appearance, but by his heart"

Turrit Colleen looked at her, her eyes as sharp as knives, with a hint of sadness on her face, and her voice said slowly, "Do you know why I have to travel far away to this continent of Ikadiva?"

"Isn't the lady here to find the Destiny One?" shinv wondered.

"Bullshit Destiny, these lies to deceive outsiders are just excuses used by the family to mislead people." Turrit Colleen's voice paused and said, "You have been with me for so long, and I won't hide it from you. I, Burrows, Although the family is quite famous in the continent of Opalo and seems to have strong connections with various royal families and nobles,

But in fact, everyone knows that the appearance of a Burrows woman is a sign of ominous misfortune. For hundreds of years, we seem to have unlimited scenery, but in fact it is no different from living in the shadows.

"Take my sister's marriage this time as an example. It seems to have unlimited glory, but in fact it is just at the cost of marrying a loser to become the spokesperson of the family in the Francis Empire. She does not even have the most basic status of a princess. Such a fate is unacceptable. Should it be changed?"

Turrit Colleen said in a deep voice with excitement.

"It is impossible for the family to have a future in the Obaro continent. There is only the unaffected Ikadiva continent, or news that may bring a slight change to the family. I risked crossing the sea this time in order to bring it to the family. remove"

"Miss. Why is this necessary..." Shinv in the black dress flashed her eyes. She has been with Turrit Colleen since she was a child. This is the first time she has seen such a serious expression on her young lady's face.

At this time, she saw a ray of red light shining through the window, like a sharp sword, dispelling the heavy darkness in the cabin.

"Come out, rush out

A burst of cheers came from outside the cabin, and a burst of stumbling footsteps came from not far away. Adjutant Elek, who was covered in water, opened the door with excitement and shouted to the two women, "Quick, come with me." , the fleet commander wants to see you."

The black-skirted Shinv quickly straightened it up. Turito Colleen lowered her head and put down her black hood, looking like a Shinv following a lady. She followed Elek and asked softly, "Aren't you pirates? How come there is a fleet commander?"

"Who said we are notorious pirates?" Adjutant Bangke was still young after all, and he argued almost without hesitation, "We are the Vikia Navy, upright warriors. If we were pirates, you two women would still be so comfortable."
