The rain in the sky stopped, but the dark clouds did not disperse.
Yang De went to the captain's room to answer the "phone call" from the pirates. The deck covered with blood was cleaned up. The bodies of several pirates and Dawn's Transcendental ers were sealed in Mithril Box, waiting for the follow-up processing after the Research Institute support arrived.
Not all the pirates ran away. Some pirates were caught and imprisoned in the Lower Layer cabin. After the effects of the drug wore off, their spirits became extremely depressed.
Orator went to Lower Layer's cabin to interrogate them.
So the rescued Little Girl could only be carried by He Ao.
Little Girl was very depressed and panicked at first. Later, Orator didn't know what she talked about. Her mood gradually stabilized, but she was a little silent. She was very nervous when meeting everyone. Except for Orator, she could only say a few words when she stood next to He Ao.
It was late at night, and Little Girl seemed to have not eaten, making grunting sounds alone.
He Ao is going to take her to the restaurant to find something to eat.
The corridors were full of Transcendental ers with bandages on their bodies. Although they were injured, they got along much better with each other. Unlike before, where there was a slight gap, people from all over the world were united by a life-and-death battle.
When He Ao passes by, they will say hello to He Ao.
We are not blind. He Ao came back with Reconnaissance Team, which directly turned the tide of the battle and killed a C-class, which in a sense saved everyone's lives.
So invisibly, He Ao established some prestige on the cruise ship.
He Ao took Little Girl to the restaurant on the first floor. The restaurant only had a window for cooking noodles and resumed operations.
So he asked Little Girl to sit on the seat and asked her to wait for him.
Little Girl nodded and huddled in the corner seat near He Ao.
He Ao glanced at her, turned to the window and asked for a bowl of noodles.
When he came back with a face in his hands, a figure was already sitting next to Little Girl, talking and laughing with her.
"Guess what I asked?"
Seeing He Ao come back with a straight face, Orator looked at him excitedly.
He Ao ignored her and put his face in front of Little Girl.
"I asked about the location of the pirate's mother ship!"
Orator has become accustomed to He Ao not answering her words. "Several of their mother ships have been following us from a distance. The cruise ship Nini was on was also hijacked by them. I also asked about it. They kept the hostages hijacked in the cruise ship in the mother ship, but they did not harm them."
Nini is the name of Little Girl.
When she heard Orator talking about her cruise ship, her hand movements paused, and then she continued to eat the noodles bit by bit.
Orator knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he gently touched Little Girl's head, then looked at He Ao and changed the topic.
"I also learned some stories about Balan, the leader of Free Sailor.
Arano Republic has been in the chaos of warlord fighting for a long time.
Balan was captured as a boy soldier when he was twelve years old. He served as a soldier for three years. Then he ran away and returned to his hometown to find that his parents and relatives were all sick and dead. So he burned down the entire village and took refuge with a nearby warlord. The warlord appreciated his ruthlessness and entrusted him with important tasks.
Soon, Balan repaid him. After following that warlord for five years, the fully fledged Balan killed that warlord and took his place.
It is said that there was a huge difference in strength between Balan and the warlord at that time, but Balan made a dangerous move and rushed into the warlord's house while he was sleeping with his mistress. He led his entourage and shot the warlord to death, and quickly won over the original warlord's power and secured his position.
In the following time, he used the same moves many times and gradually became one of the top warlords in Alano.
However, although he was very powerful on land, he did not have much power at sea at first.
Alano has suffered from years of war, and the people cannot even afford to eat. However, the nearby sea area is in the golden route of international trade, so Alano's warlords will more or less rely on piracy to make a fortune.
When Balan started, Alano's sphere of influence on the sea had already been divided, so he once again used his previous tricks, using his small skills to make a big difference, relying on madness and risking his life to swallow up several large pirate forces, and became Alano's second-ranked pirate force.
His characteristics are ruthless, unscrupulous, and daring to take risks.
And,"
Orator suddenly came over and whispered, "He had dozens of mistresses. Among the pirates we captured, two or three were her mistress's brothers."
······
It seemed like those pirates really talked to her about everything.
He Ao Turned his head and looked out the window. The sky and the sea intersected into a silent darkness, like a devouring abyss.
However, at the end of this abyss, a little flickering light shines.
That's another ship.
"There are more ships."
Orator also followed He Ao's line of sight and asked, "We have been approaching the port. Are we approaching the port?"
Then she took out a satellite locator from somewhere and looked at it.
"Looking at our current location, we are close to Danba Port."
Then she introduced carefully,
"Danba Port is a small port on the easternmost side of Norlai Republic, with relatively few ships.
Nole was originally an enclave of the Tia Empire. It became an independent republic decades ago, but now it is basically still a vassal state of the Tia Empire, and its politics and economy are extremely dependent on the Tia Empire.
But even so, it is an independent republic with its own navy. We have entered the waters of Norlai Republic. Although it is still far away from Central Land, it is considered safe. In theory, we should not encounter anything..."
"Want some noodles?"
He Ao asked suddenly.
"Ah?" Orator was a little confused. She didn't realize why He Ao suddenly talked to her. She shook her head, "No, I'm not hungry yet."
At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the restaurant.
He Ao turned around and saw Ye Feng walking quickly into the restaurant.
Ye Feng glanced around the restaurant, his eyes first staying on Nini, and then on He Ao.
Then he walked over quickly and looked at He Ao, "Captain, Brother Yang is looking for you,"
Then he looked at Nini, "And this little sister... together."
At this moment, Nini had put down her chopsticks and was sitting there in a daze. When she heard Ye Feng calling her, she raised her head in confusion.
"Okay."
He Ao nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Nini, looked at Orator and sighed.
Orator:?
Orator looked at He Ao's leaving figure and scratched his head helplessly.
She put away the noodle bowl that Nini had eaten.
Then I went to ask for a bowl of noodles and started eating in silence.
