On the vast and boundless sea, the light of the morning sun shines on the calm sea surface.
It also covered Blue Star anchored in the middle of the sea with a golden coat, washing away the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Sailors were busy scouring the decks, using bristle brushes to scrub away the blood from the gaps between the planks.
In this battle last night, although with the arrival of the Royal Navy battleship, Blue Star successfully survived.
But many sailors died or were injured in the battle.
In addition, the passenger ship was attacked by multiple rounds of artillery fire, so it did not continue moving last night.
Choose to anchor in place and rest.
Of the three Royal Navy frigates, two ran to chase the pirate ship, leaving one to protect Blue Star.
The bodies were recovered at the same time.
Until noon, the two frigates returned safely, and Blue Star immediately set sail again.
In the first-class cabin, Ronan received two visitors.
One of them is the captain of Blue Star, and the other is wearing the officer uniform of Royal Navy.
"Lord Ronan."
The gray-haired captain shook hands with Ronan vigorously and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your help to Blue Star. I also feel that you saved the lives of my men and the passengers!"
In the deck battle last night, Blue Star was able to repel the extremely fierce pirates. Ronan was definitely the first hero and played a vital role.
He single-handedly killed and beheaded dozens of pirates, including multiple boss-level enemies.
There are two extraordinary people among them!
If Ronan hadn't turned the tide at the critical moment, the deck defense line would have been lost. Then the pirates would have broken into the cabin and kidnapped the dignitaries, and Royal Navy would have had to use the enemy's weapon, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
Originally, the captain wanted to come over last night to express his gratitude to Ronan, but he had too much work to complete at that time. On the other hand, he also had to verify Ronan's results, so he postponed it until now.
But this does not prevent the captain from admiring Ronan!
He bowed respectfully to Ronan.
"You're welcome."
Ronan returned the salute and said with a smile, "Whether as a police detective or a passenger, it is my responsibility to resist pirates. You don't need to be so polite."
"Well said!"
The naval officers who came with the captain applauded.
The captain reacted and said quickly, "Lord Ronan, I forgot to introduce you. This is Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Wodehouse, the first mate of the Montero frigate."
Ronan shook hands with the other party. "Nice to meet you."
Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Wodehouse was tall and resolute in appearance. His eyes were bright and bright. He looked at Ronan as if he was seeing a treasure. "Lord Ronan, I wonder if you are interested in joining Royal Navy?"
"I can be your introducer!"
In the view of this naval officer, it would be too much of a waste of talent for a young and powerful extraordinary person like Ronan to hang out in the police, so he came up with the idea of recruiting him.
"Thank you for the invitation."
Ronan ignored the captain's look and declined politely. "I want to go to the Royal Higher Police Academy to study, so I have no idea of joining Royal Navy for the time being."
Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Wodehouse shook his head. "That's a pity."
He was a very proud man, so he stopped insisting when he was rejected, and handed over a roll of paper. "This is a document proving your military exploits. After our inspection, we confirmed that you killed Quinn Effie and Vito Harold, the important leaders of Giant Whale Pirates, last night."
"You can take this certificate and go to the Kingdom Military Department in Ceres to claim the bounty!"
Through interrogation of the prisoners, the Royal Navy side has confirmed that the force that attacked Blue Star last night was Giant Whale Pirates.
Giant Whale Pirates, like Blackbeard Pirates, belongs to the old maritime dark forces, but it is much weaker than the latter, but it is also quite cruel and cunning. It has successfully attacked merchant ships and passenger ships many times, and has repeatedly escaped the attack of the navy.
Quinn Effie and Vito Harold are both important leaders in Blackbeard Pirates, especially the former, who is equivalent to the third-in-command in Giant Whale Pirates and has long been listed on the Navy's wanted list.
And it ranks quite high.
Quinn Effie was the pirate leader who was knocked into the sea. His body was salvaged this morning, and his identity was established after repeated inspections.
As for Vito Harold, he was a one-eyed pirate who died on the deck.
Both of them are extraordinary warriors, and Quinn Effie has reached the second level of strength. He has been wanted for many years and is still at large.
Unexpectedly, he died at sea last night.
This is the fundamental reason why Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Wodehouse took the initiative to send an invitation to Ronan.
"Thank you."
Ronan took the certification document and read it over, but unfortunately did not see the specific bounty amount on it.
He is short of money!
At this time, the captain handed over another thick envelope and said, "Lord Ronan, this is a special tribute sent to you by some distinguished guests on the ship after learning of your heroic deeds. Please accept it."
Is there such a good thing?
Ronan was somewhat surprised, but he took it directly without being polite. "Thank you."
He didn't know that there were such rules at sea. If a passenger ship or merchant ship was attacked by pirates, as long as they could be repelled, the participants would receive certain rewards.
Some are from ship owners and some are from passengers.
Of course, the passengers who can take out the bounty are definitely not ordinary people.
Blue Star is a large passenger ship, but it carries many dignitaries!
The captain smiled and said, "You deserve it."
In fact, the captain secretly felt sorry for Ronan, because the latter actually refused the introduction invitation of Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Wodehouse.
Ronan obviously doesn't understand what the surname Wodehouse means in the Navy!
If he can climb Wardhouse Family, then his entire Lineage will benefit from it, and the potential benefits are too numerous to list.
Ronan really missed an opportunity to become famous!
But it was impossible for him to interfere forcibly. After completing the task, he said goodbye and left with Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Wodehouse.
After seeing off these two uninvited guests, Ronan opened the envelope branded with fire paint.
A stack of checks immediately fell out.
These checks are all cash checks issued by Royal Bank, which can be deposited and redeemed at any branch in Kingdom of Invya. The lowest amount is 100 gold pounds, and the highest is 500 gold pounds. The total amount exceeds 3,000 gold pounds!
The checks all had different signatures and came with business cards.
Ronan looked at a few pictures. There were figures like baron and viscount, as well as directors of a certain chamber of commerce.
The reserve and reserve of the nobles can be seen from this.
Ronan collected the check and business card.
