[Assassin's Creed Doujin] Deep Sea Vortex

Edward Kenway had a strange dream, or it could be said to be a beautiful dream.

Alcohol messed up his mind. In a haze, he only saw a woman curled up beside his bed. He tried to open his eyes to see her, but he could only see some vague details.The man first took off his boots to make him more comfortable, then unbuttoned the collar of his clothes so that he could breathe easier, and then touched his forehead with his slender and cold fingers, brushing him away. hair, and fed him some lemon-flavored fresh water.

His consciousness and body seemed to be separated, and his body fell asleep due to alcohol, but his consciousness could barely distinguish some things.He vaguely saw that the woman had dark eyes like blackberries, lips as red as berries, and fair skin.It suddenly seemed familiar to him now, when he was always drinking heavily, going from one hangover to the next, and that was how his wife, Caroline, had been by his side and cared for him.Until she was completely disappointed in him, left and returned to her father's house.Until he left Bristol to sail, from a privateer to a pirate.

She left him when he needed her most, but now she appeared again, in his dream.Edward held her hand without thinking, trying to call her name, his dizzy head prevented him from making clear syllables, but as if she heard his inner cry, she put a soft kiss on his The corner of his mouth seemed to not care that he smelled of alcohol at all.

This kiss finally made him realize that something was wrong.Caroline would never forgive his golden dream, never treat him so tenderly, she hated his drinking, but—whatever, it was just a dream, and anything could happen in a dream.

He took her hand, dragged her off the ground and kissed her without thinking, the previous light kiss was not enough for him.Up close her face looked paler than before, but his stubble quickly rubbed her cheeks into a pitiful blush.He smelled a faint aroma of raspberries on her body, which was both familiar and strange.Edward gradually realized that this was definitely not Caroline's taste, but he couldn't care less.On land, he can still find prostitutes to vent, but there is no such treatment at sea.Six months of sailing on the Jackdaw is equivalent to six months of abstinence.Now the moment he touched the woman's limp body, his cock in his trousers swelled and ached.

He kissed carelessly for a while, and finally sucked her beautifully shaped lips and the bright red tip of her tongue as he wished, but the clothes became a new obstacle, and he couldn't deal with this at all when he was drunk. This woman was obedient and cooperative enough to reach out and take off each other's clothes.

It felt so good to be inside her that she came out almost immediately, the orgasm blanked his mind, he should have been tired and lay down and fell asleep, drunk people should It was like a puddle of mud, but instead he became more and more agitated. He only took a breath for a while, and then he reacted again. The refractory period was so short on him that it seemed that it didn't exist at all.

He dragged her over, then held her waist firmly, and inserted it involuntarily.This time he received a little resistance, and the warmed slender palm pressed against his chest trying to push him away, but it was of no use at all.Edward easily grabbed her hands, then pushed them firmly over the top of her head and held them firmly.At this time, he was much more awake than at the beginning, and the pleasure in his lower abdomen gradually made him less rough. He even changed the angle of thrusting so that both of them felt comfortable, and it was no longer like the first time. Time to shoot so fast.

He used all the techniques that make women happy on her, so she became quiet and obedient, and even made some small nasal sounds and moans, which pleased him subtly, and he seemed to be unable to bear it afterwards. For the third time, he tried to fill her up with semen. At the moment when the climax was about to come, he pulled the woman under him into his arms, entered the deepest part, and then let the pleasure swallow his consciousness.

After a blurry blank, there is an overly long aftertaste.

In the darkness, Edward opened his eyes in a daze, and then he finally discerned the outline of this woman.

"...Irina." Edward called out the other person's name subconsciously, but his hazy consciousness made him unable to understand what this name meant at this time, and an unstoppable drowsiness quickly hit him.He closed his eyes, didn't pull out his penis, just hugged her tightly, and fell asleep exhausted.

The most direct consequence of the hangover was a splitting headache. After waking up the next day, Edward reached out and massaged his forehead. Before he could open his eyes, his nose smelled a bitter smell, which was the smell of semen.After he realized this, he couldn't help being stunned, and then he felt dully that someone was curled up in his arms to sleep.The memory of last night flowed back into his mind in an instant, Edward stiffened his back, opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand to lift the quilt.

"Good morning, Edward." The person in his arms was woken up by his movement, and rubbed his eyes.

"...Elena." Edward sighed and called out her name. In fact, he didn't even need to see her face. The loose black curly hair on the pillow was enough for him to understand who he had sex with. .He wanted to ask how all this happened, but he swallowed the words, there was nothing left to ask, and drunken sex is really a perfect word for the moment.

"Should we get up?" Elena muttered in his arms, her attitude was very calm, which made Edward slightly relieved, but his body froze soon again.The two people in the quilt were naked, Elena's soft skin and the smell of her body made him want to move again buried in a certain part of Elena's body, Edward felt that it was not a good time now, and any further reaction would only make him feel uncomfortable. Embarrassed for both, so he stepped back a little and pulled it out.

"...well." He replied cautiously and dullly.

Elena stared at him with those dark eyes that had been swaying in his dreams, and then lowered her eyelids, with some tears from sleepy eyes hanging on her slender eyelashes, "I don't think it's good for you."

"...?" Edward expressed his doubts with his eyes. He was struggling with where to put his hands. Frankly speaking, his mind was in a terribly chaotic state, partly because he was happy, and partly because he thought it happened suddenly. There is also a part of worrying about how the relationship between himself and Elena will develop.Now that she was on his crew, it wasn't a simple one-night stand.

"Will you not cum in there next time, I'm going to be very uncomfortable afterwards and I don't want to get pregnant."

"..." Edward felt that the tone and content of her words were not quite right.

"Don't frown, and don't pay too much attention." Elena leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth, then got up and got out of bed, "I won't make you responsible, I'll go get something to eat, are you hungry? ? I can help you get some."

"... not for the time being."

Elena responded indifferently after hearing the answer, and then picked up her clothes from the ground generously, and put them on carefully one by one. This was the first time that Edward had a complete glimpse of her body. Last night ...he didn't have the energy to look closely.Elena's face was a little thin, but her body was extremely plump, like a ripe fruit, and the curvature from the ridgeline to the waistline was extremely perfect.The candles in the room had long been burned out, but the faint light coming in from outside the door was enough for him to see all the details of Elena's body. The way she put on her clothes seemed to be slowly rolled up. oil painting.

He lowered his head and sighed inwardly, maybe Benjamin was right, it was a wrong decision to let Elena on board.He accepted the bondage of marriage as early as when he was young, so he shouldn't be tempted by other women anymore.Usually maintaining relationships with women is also to solve physical needs. He paid money and got pleasure, which is fair and normal.He really hoped to develop a relationship like this with Irina, but what he loves most in his heart is still his wife who is far away in his hometown. Caroline shared.There was no doubt about these things, but now there is suddenly suspense.

During the six months that Elena stayed by his side, he had already developed a special feeling for her. Although he hadn't really fallen in love with her yet, he had a premonition that day would come sooner or later.He was not surprised by this result at all. Thinking about it carefully, he has always been such a bastard who judges people by their appearance. At first, he fell in love with Caroline because of her beauty, and now he fell in love with Elena because of her beauty five years later. fantasized about her.

He was probably the worst man in the world.

After Elena left, he also put his clothes back on indiscriminately, then got up and left the captain's cabin. When he opened the door and went out, the sunlight outside hurt his eyes a little.The ship was still empty, and most of the crew members were still hungover on Great Inagua Island, but Adéwal was by no means one of them. Almost as soon as Edward left, Adéwal appeared on the doorway leading to the deck. under the stairs.

"I don't think it's good for you to do this." Adéwalé actually said the same thing after he spoke. He has accepted Elena of unknown origin, but this does not mean that he thinks it is a good thing for the captain and the crew to get together.

"Yeah, it's not good." Edward rubbed his temple, his head was still hurting, "so she told me not to take it seriously, and told me not to take it too seriously."

"..." Adéwalé's expression changed slightly.

He was silent for a long time, then came over and patted Edward on the shoulder sympathetically.

☆, identity

Elena doesn't think that a man like Edward Kenway can capture his heart just by sleeping. She needs a longer-term strategy.

She didn't go to the kitchen to look for food as she said to Edward, but went back to the room to find a pen and paper and wrote a letter. In the letter, she briefly described the pirates' attempt on the Guarico fortress. Julian died, but he couldn't put his father in danger.After she finished writing this matter, she considered for a while whether she should also include the fact that Tulum is an assassin stronghold, but the appearance of Kid suddenly flashed in her mind, and Irina hesitated for a while, and dismissed it. got the idea.

She knew she was doing something wrong, but—she was already wrong about Julian, and she didn't care that she was wrong more.

After writing the letter, she took out the pigeon coop hidden in the corner, rolled up the letter and tied it on the soles of the pigeon's feet. She kept the messenger well hidden just for this moment. There was no chance for anyone on board, so the news was passed on quickly.

Since then, the Jackdaw has been moored on Great Inagua Island for nearly two months, occasionally robbing offshore, but Edward spent more time on building the island, and Elena felt as if she saw a second takeover Suo was growing up, but she felt that it was a waste of effort after all. The era of pirates would end sooner or later, and Edward should spend his money on more useful things.

The reason why piracy forces in the Caribbean Sea are so rampant now is that during Queen Anne’s reign, all European countries needed strength to attack the maritime forces of hostile countries. They have introduced many policies, promising that as long as pirates do not attack the navy and merchant ships of their own countries and allies, Then their existence is legal, and they have created some new terms-privateers, and privateer licenses, but the signing of the Utrecht Treaty three years ago made the dreams of many pirates come to nothing. Privateering became illegal when nations stopped fighting.Some of the privateers returned home and became officers, such as Woods Rogers and Julian Dacas, while some became notorious pirates, such as Benjamin Hornigold and Ed Sardinia. Oddly, more people are depressed because of this, and after being confiscated by the state with property and ships, they have nothing and return to their hometowns empty-handed.

Now many pirates are eagerly waiting for the king's pardon, or plan to hide their names after earning enough money, but Edward has invested all the money in the second pirate paradise. ……ridiculous.

They finally sailed to Cape Guarico in good weather in May, where Edward planned to rendezvous with Vann's Ranger, passing Tulum, a small island outside the Gulf of Catan, where Edward was That only stayed for one night before returning to the Jackdaw and announcing a new departure.Elena didn't know what task Edward had received from the Assassins, but the ship still headed for Guarico Fortress as planned, so Elena was not in a hurry to inquire.

She thought that the Jackdaw and the Ranger might be hit by a strong counterattack from the naval fortress, but the fact is that the defense there is incredibly weak, and Laureano Torres seems to only care about himself and his gold, and is not at all What kind of strategic deployment is this, but Fann's luck is very bad, his Ranger has a big hole and has to be stranded for repairs, and after learning that there is no gold in the fortress and they rushed to nothing, Fann is even more furious.

"I didn't come to this fucking place just for nothing! Kenway - there must be a dirty moron in your people or mine, we have to find this person, understand Is it impossible for our Lord Governor to run away with gold for no reason!" Fann is a good companion when he is in a good mood, and anyone will feel happy to drink with him, but when he is angry, he really seems to be nervous. If there is a problem, it is possible to draw a weapon and commit violent acts at any time.

"Calm down, Fann, there's no ghost, it's just that we're a little bit out of luck." Edward carefully chose his words to comfort him. He wasn't afraid of Fann, but it was a headache.When Fann has a bad temper, he really can do anything. In fact, pirates are not very good-tempered, but this characteristic is particularly prominent in Fann.If Benjamin is compared to a powder keg that only explodes after dozens of clicks, then Ed may need a few clicks, and Vann-only needs one.

"Don't talk luck with me, I never believed in that stuff, there must be something wrong with it! Kenway, I don't doubt you, but the people under you are too suspicious." Charles Vann first pointed at Adéwalé, The higher-ups on both ships are now in the command room of Fort Guarico, "A nigger, how dare you let him stand there with a weapon."

Adéwal folded his hands and leaned against the wall in silence, without saying a word. It seemed that he was used to such insults, but Elena was a little annoyed, "A nigger? Captain Vann, people here They are all pirates, so are you nobler than others?"

She was not a combatant and could safely hide in the boat without going ashore, but she wanted to see what was going on in the fortress, so she followed.

The first person to react after hearing her words was Edward. He quickly signaled her to shut up and not provoke Fan En with his eyes, but it was too late, and Fan En quickly burned his anger on her, "Yes, I am a sinner!" An unforgivable pirate, but it’s always better than you, a slave girl, sometimes it’s really hard for me to tell which one is lower between you and a prostitute.”

As soon as Edward heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong, and Irina's next actions proved his premonition to be absolutely correct.

"That's a good point, Captain Vann, I'll let you make it clear now." Irina's beautiful face was contorted with anger, and then she picked up a heavy object from the command room table and threw it at Vann He walked over and put his hands on his waist, as if he would draw out his dagger at any moment and rush over to make a few holes for Fann.This action doubled the exposure of the distorted slave logo on her wrist. Edward, who has many tattoos on his body, is no stranger to this degree of skin deformation. The marks carved before the body matures will slightly lose their original shape after adulthood There was no doubt that Elena had been marked as a child, and it was from here that Fann noticed that she had been a slave girl.

Fortunately for Edward, Adéwal held the furious Elena with his hands.This calm and self-possessed black quartermaster appears to be very reliable no matter what.

After Fann drew his sword and chopped off the heavy object, all his men drew their swords, and the crew of the Jackdaw also responded accordingly, but both sides were uncertain whether to attack each other. In the previous moment they were partners.

"Calm down, Fann." Edward was responsible for persuading Fann.

"It seems that you are all on his side." Elena stood there and satirized Edward coldly, then turned her head and growled at Ade, "let go of your hand, Ade. I won't What else to do, you don’t mind being insulted anyway, right?!”

After being scolded by her, Adéwal let go of his hand with an innocent expression. Irene glared at Edward with the lingering anger and left the command room. Edward saw Jack chasing after him.As for Fann, his anger seemed to have finally calmed down, and he was staring at a certain place in the room in a daze. The surrounding pirates put down their weapons at a loss, and the atmosphere in the command room was unprecedentedly awkward.

Edward sighed and patted Fann on the shoulder, "I know you didn't mean it, man."

The author has something to say: Just say it:

1. Laureano Torres, as the supreme master of the Caribbean Templars, his leadership ability is actually very poor. As a governor, he was reported for corruption and bribery.Before Edward sold him the Assassin stronghold map obtained from Duncan Walpole, the Templars were in a state of being suppressed by the Assassins, and the Assassin organization declined in the Shay era and the Connor era, and Edward's Actions don't matter.

2. There are two people who clearly show racial discrimination in the game: Benjamin Hornigold and Jack Rickham. There is no Fann, but I think discrimination against black people should be normal in that era, and Fann is really like It's like having mania. When people are angry, they tend to speak out. No one would care if he blamed racial discrimination on him.

3. In the previous chapters, some readers mentioned the age of pirates that Edward lived in, so I couldn’t help but write a paragraph in the article. The time point of this chapter is July 1716. Blackbeard Ed Thatch will be in 7 In 1717, he snatched a French slave ship Concorde that accompanied him to the end of his life. He will change its name to the Queen Anne's Revenge to commemorate the prosperous era of pirates in Queen Anne's time. publicly awarded.As for the Queen Anne's Revenge itself, it is a huge ship. In the game, Edward and Blackbeard had a very interesting conversation about it. Edward looked at the Revenge and marveled that it must have more than 32 cannons. Blackbeard replied , "I don't know, I can't count to forty."

☆, Discrimination

Edward quickly went out to try to find Elena after dealing with the mess in the fort, but despite the small size of the fort, it was not easy to find a specific person.Edward didn't know where Elena was hiding, and finally found Elena condescendingly with the help of the wide view from the balcony of the fortress.

She was taking off her boots for a walk on the sand below, still looking sulking, when another figure appeared on the ground - it was Jack.Edward didn't quite understand why Jack had chased Elena out early, but didn't appear beside her until now. Then Edward saw the bouquet of flowers in Jack's hand, which made him immediately know the answer to the question.

The wind carried the sound of their conversation intermittently into Edward's ears.

"I picked some flowers, will that make you feel better?" Jack looked like he wanted to hand the flowers to Elena, but she was holding the boots in both hands, and Jack didn't ask her to carry the boots in the other hand. , but directly put the flowers into her boots, then stepped back a few steps and nodded in satisfaction.

Elena looked listless and didn't respond to Jack's flowers, "Thank you, bastard."

"Don't pay attention to Vann, Elena. He's just an imbecile, and he talks like a pile of stinky shit." Jack comforted, "No one minds that you were a slave, at least a third of the Atlantic One of the pirates escaped from slave masters, no one treated them differently, we yelled as usual, fought as usual, and drank as usual. I have several friends who were slaves, but I never beat them Use extra force or be extra merciful."

These words sounded very sincere, so Elena finally looked up at Jack, pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Jack."

Jack immediately looked very happy, and the effect of calling his name was immediate, but because Elena was still in a depressed state, he restrained his joy, "I know you need to be alone now, then I will ...I won't bother you anymore. Elena, if you have any unhappiness, you can come to me, and I promise to make you laugh out loud."

A faint smile appeared on Elena's face, and she nodded.

After Jack left, Edward whistled to her from a high place. He found that Elena didn't seem to be particularly sensitive to voices and had a poor sense of direction. He turned around and looked around for a while before he saw Edward on the balcony. He said angrily, "Can you come down and talk to me? Captain Kenway."

"Of course." He jumped down from the height, walked to Elena, and glanced at the flowers Jack gave her, "How do you feel now?"

"It got worse after seeing you." Elena twitched the corners of her mouth. She took the flower out of the boot and handed the boot to Edward. He took it with an inexplicable face. Helped with it for a while, but she turned around and left, and the voice floated from afar, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

He picked up her boots and chased after her, "Uh... I think you might need some reassurance, after all you—"

Elena suddenly stopped in her tracks, then interrupted him angrily, pouring out all her grievances, Edward was taken aback by her sudden outburst, "Do you think I need comfort?! It's just you It's just wishful thinking. I'm fine, I feel great, and I don't need comfort at all. Do you think I'm pitiful? Or do you think I slept with you, so you have an obligation to come here and be condescending at this time You said some sarcastic remarks to me? Don't be self-righteous, you and I are just—" She paused, then chose a word at random and continued, "You and I are just for mutual benefit, me and you You have nothing to do with it, you don't need your comfort at all, you'd better not bother me, your sympathy is also an insult to me."

Edward said cautiously, "I just want to say, after all, you are my companion...and friend."

Elena was silent for a while, and then repeated in a somewhat strange tone, "...friend?"

"……Any questions?"

Elena looked away and shook her head.

"I've known about you being a slave for a long time. After all, you don't pay much attention to hiding that brand. I saw it almost as soon as I knew you. Like Jack, I don't think it's a big problem. I want to comfort you mainly It's because Fann's speech is really a bit ugly."

"……Oh."

"Also, Adéwalle asked me to say thank you."

"Oh."

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, and the two unconsciously walked along the coastline for a certain distance on the beach. Yi Lianna lowered her head and kicked the sand on the ground repeatedly, "Don't you ask me about my past?"

"If you will."

"I was born in Spain and my mother was a slave girl, so I was born a slave. I can't remember my father's appearance, and I haven't seen him much. I only remember that he was a farmer. I was about thirteen or fourteen years old. I was sold to France, and then bought by someone, who gave me a new surname based on the place name there." Irina paused for a while, and then continued, "I will soon... find a way Steal some money, and then find a chance to escape, and this is the same person until now."

What she said was very brief, but Edward knew that the truth must be much more complicated.When he felt sympathy for her, Edward didn't know that only the first half of her words were true.

"You think I'm a good drinker. That's because I was always sick when I was a child, and I had a high fever. My mother couldn't get any medicine, so she could only use real medicine instead. She thought that if I was drunk, I might feel better." Irina hung her eyes. Eyelids, "That actually works, you don't feel too much pain when you're dizzy."

Edward didn't know what to say. He reached out and patted Elena on the shoulder, and then asked a question that he thought could change her mood, "So, you are Spanish?"

The blood on Yi Lianna's face faded suddenly, and she became extremely pale, "No, it's not."

"...What's wrong with you?" Edward saw something was wrong.

"I... have always been discriminated against, not only because of my status, but also because of my race." Edward saw her panicked expression for the first time, "Edward, can I trust you? Can I tell you the truth ?”

Edward thought for a while and said, "I'm sure I don't have any racism, just look at Ade."

"Our family likes to call ourselves Roma." Elena said softly.

"..." Now Edward is sure that he can confidently say that he will not discriminate against her at all, because he has never heard of this race.He said vaguely, "Well...Actually, I always think you are pretty good."

Elena lowered her head and said, "I hate racism, I hate Vann, I hate Charles Vann."

She repeated these words over and over like an angry child.Edward felt that he couldn't say anything consoling, so he threw away the pair of boots in his hand, then pulled Elena over and pressed her into his arms, and patted the back of her head awkwardly, "It's okay Now you're fine, we all think you're fine."

"...Really?" Elena's voice was muffled.

"Of course." Edward felt like coaxing a child.

"I hate Vann," repeated Elena.

Edward followed her lead and said, "Yeah, he's an asshole."

After being silent for a while, Elena left his embrace and said, "Just now... I'm sorry."

"...?" Edward reacted for a while before he understood what she was referring to, but he had almost forgotten all about it, "It's okay, I've been scolded worse before."

"Huh? What did you scold you for?"

"A maggot who doesn't do anything all day long and only drinks alcohol. His head is full of seaweed waste. Even if he goes out to sea, he will soon sink into the sea to feed the fish. It's better to stand on the ground and shovel sheep dung." Yi Yi Lianna couldn't help laughing, but Edward's next sentence made her lose her smile, "If someone else scolded me like that, I would have started fighting with him a long time ago, but there is no way, the person who said that was my father , I can't even talk back."

"Is your relationship with your father... not good?"

"He's an honest shepherd, he doesn't like me going to sea, thinks I'm just daydreaming, at best a poor, drunken sailor, but now you see, I'm Captain Kenway, I have earned money that he would not have had to feed tens of thousands of sheep, and everything makes me feel great except that I can no longer go back to my hometown in a dignified manner." Even so, Edward's expression was a wry smile.

Elena sighed, put her hands on Edward's face, and kissed him lightly on the lips, "Your father doesn't want to accept you as a pirate, but you still have us..."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to back away a little distance, but Edward immediately pulled her back around her waist, and firmly clasped the back of her head with the palm of his hand, forcing her to lift her lower jaw, with her knuckles deeply sunken. He got into her hair, and then forcefully pried open her teeth with his lips and tongue.The development of the matter seemed a little sudden, but he felt that it was necessary for him to let her know how to kiss. It was the same last time, and this time too. Every time she ran away after a light touch, she needed someone to teach her a lesson.

Elena was taken aback by him at first, but after reacting, she slowly responded to him. The kissing process was quite pleasant, but afterwards Elena became very disappointing.

"It's time to shave your beard." Irina rubbed the corners of her mouth that were probably already red.

"...If you are free, I will."

The author has something to say: In fact, they are gypsies.

☆, test

Edward originally wanted to plunder all the supplies in the fortress and leave, but Fann suddenly sent someone to inform Edward that he had tortured the whereabouts of Torres and gold from the naval officer in the fortress.Edward immediately went to the command room with great interest. Elena didn't want to see Fann again, but for some reason she followed.

"...Kenway, you came just in time. The governor took the gold to Kingston...for what? I don't know. They said that Torres seemed to be going to Kingston to buy slaves. I know there is a famous Slave trader, Lawrence Prince... What do you think of this? I'm not going to wade in this muddy water, it's a bit dangerous to be near Kingston, Kenway, it's full of navies... you want to go?"

Elena listened to their intermittent conversation outside, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, "You are too careless, father."

Edward quickly let the Jackdaw set sail again. There was no doubt that their next stop was Kingston. As he said, Vann decided to try his luck in other sea areas. He felt that it was not safe to go to Kingston.

Life on board was nothing to describe, it was the same as usual, but Edward seemed to like the feeling of whistling to tease her.Because she is not very sensitive to the source of the sound, she has to look around every time. Edward likes to see her confused, but after a lot of times, she gets used to turning a deaf ear to Edward's whistle.

After arriving in Kingston, Edward decided to act alone, to inquire about the situation before making further plans. The Jackdaw disguised as a British merchant ship quietly docked at Kingston Port, and Edward planned to go ashore alone to find out the whereabouts of Lawrence Prince. After all, Elena wanted to follow, but she couldn't find any reason or excuse at all.Edward was outstanding, and he could handle everything by himself. It would only be a burden if she went with her, so she waited patiently on the boat for Edward to return.

It was almost sunset when Edward came back exhausted.

"I met Kidder in the town." Edward's first words were enough to surprise people, and he went on to say to Adéwalé and Irene, "Chidder wanted to do this because Prince was engaged in the slave trade. To kill him, and I want Prince's gold, so we act together for a while."

Edward's statement made Elena feel a little strange. Chid and Edward were both assassins, but from Edward's point of view, they seemed to be different people.She hid her doubts in her heart, and then listened to Edward continue.

"I didn't find gold, but I found something more valuable than that." Edward said as he walked to the aft deck, he didn't want too many people to hear this, "I'm in Prince's manor I saw the Holy One..."

Yi Lianna's heartbeat speeded up for no reason, she followed up and asked knowingly, "What is a saint?"

"Elena, you've heard—
