Chapter 171

Enter the girl. Seemingly noticing this, the captain smiled suddenly, "Ha, I forgot to introduce you. This is the distinguished Miss Victoria, a noble in Leicester City. Her father entrusted me to send her safely to Port Belen." "It's been a while, how are you two?" Victoria smiled at the two of them. Her highly identifiable eye color turned into an ordinary blue, and only her slightly pointed ears proved her identity as High Elf. This kingdom Princess just appeared on this featureless merchant ship, and there was no Guard around him. Judging from the captain's words and attitude, he seemed not to know that this was the famous Princess Victoria. "Can I get off the ship now?" Li Wen made this request in a calm tone. Chapter 180 Two-tailed Mermaid Captain Remington Of course, it was impossible to return home for this kind of thing. He just thought the girl was joking and made fun of her. At the same time, he also realized that these people seemed to know each other, so he wisely found an excuse to leave. "Do you mind if I sit here?" His Highness Princess seemed to be asking, but there was an emotion in his eyes that was hard to refuse. The waves outside were slamming against the side of the ship, and a few seabirds were making piercing cries, which seemed to indicate that a brewing storm was coming. Li Wen didn't really want to pay attention to her. He just looked at the darkening sky outside the window, thinking about what the storm would bring and what it would take away. If it were not too far away from the land and the erosion progress was not enough to support her actions, Li Wen would have wanted to activate Witch State and fly directly back to Leicester. It's not that she hates this beautiful kingdom Princess, it's just that nothing good always seems to happen when the other party exists. The incident that happened to Leicester is probably even caused by the other party, and no matter how bad it is, it is related to it. On the other side, Moria didn't react at all. He nodded slightly, and at the same time he understood why Selwyn arranged for them to take this ship, at least partially. "It seems that the Knight of Lance is not accompanying His Highness?" the priest suddenly asked. Princess Victoria is sitting between the two of them, slightly far away. She smiled and did not answer the question directly, "Please understand Mr. Moria and Miss Mephisto. My trip this time is completely confidential and I don't want too many irrelevant people to know about it." Then aren't they considered irrelevant people? Li Wen wanted to ask this, but gave up after thinking about it. Victoria's identity is extremely sensitive. As early as Leicester, Pack Leader expressed his intention to kill him, and Blood-stained Owl Dog and Buddy Harentin were also obviously It was for her. This was probably a manifestation of the cruel and bloody internal power struggle of the Arthur royal family. God knows how many of His Highness Princess's brothers and sisters who share the same blood would want to see her die. Under such circumstances, it does not seem so difficult to understand that the other party would embark on the return journey to the royal city in a way that ordinary people could not imagine. Because of this, Li Wen can rest assured that His Highness Princess is not brewing any other conspiracy. "Originally, I was worried about going on this journey alone, but now that I see the two of you on the ship, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief." Victoria's delicate, doll-like face showed a smile that looked like a happy one, but it was difficult to see her true feelings. "I'm full, I'm going back first." Li Wen stood up and said calmly. She had no appetite to begin with, and she didn't want to communicate more or deepen the relationship with His Highness Princess, so she was about to go back and continue refining the medicine. "It seems that Miss Mephisto doesn't like me very much?" Looking at the departing figure under the cloak, Victoria smiled quietly, with nothing in his blue pupils. "Perhaps it's not that he hates her, but because His Highness is so good at concealing his emotions that it's hard for people to distinguish. Miss Mephisto found it difficult to cope with this, so it seems that it's not difficult to understand why he chose not to communicate." Moria explained softly, and was suddenly taken aback. He had not known the mysterious girl for a long time, and it seemed that he was not qualified to say such things. "Is this...?" He didn't notice the priest's expression. His Highness Princess looked thoughtful and didn't know what he was thinking about. * Bursts of thunder came from the far side of the sea. At this time, Sky Dome had completely dimmed, as if a grand storm was ready to appear. Among those who make a living at sea, a storm is the wrath of the sea. It will always appear at an untimely time and brutally swallow up a few lives or a few ships. "That's Two-tailed Mermaid! It's the curse of Two-tailed Mermaid! It's coming! It's finally here!" An old man with a face covered in sunburns and hair as dry as seaweed suddenly became excited. He pointed crazily at the violent waves outside, mumbling crazy words that were difficult for ordinary people to understand. Two bloodshot pupils seemed to stand out from the sockets, which was very scary. This weird behavior immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant, including Li Wen who was about to leave. "Alas, Old Joey has started again." Someone sighed, as if they were used to this scene. But more people are puzzled and curious. After all, those who can board this ship are almost all adventurers or travelers who are interested in anything exciting and novel. So as more and more people asked questions, the man began to tell them one by one. The crazy old man's name is Joey, who was an experienced sailor thirty years ago. The ship he was working on was the Adventurer under his feet at this time. At that time, the ship was not called this name, and its captain was not Mr. Remington. At that time, Old Joey was still young and the most experienced sailor in the fleet. It was said that he could dive into the water with his bare hands and fight with several sharks and kill them. During a voyage, Old Joey's fleet encountered extremely violent storm weather. The heavy rain was pouring all the time, and the huge waves tens of meters high almost overturned the ship. In the fury of the sea, all the sailors, including Old Joey, could only hide in the cabin and tremble. Until at a certain moment, the storm fell into a calm, and there were no more waves on the sea. But that's not a sign of survival, absolutely not. In the abrupt transition from violence to calm, everyone heard the melodious and beautiful singing. They were attracted and impressed by the singing, and immediately rushed to the deck to get a glimpse of the owner of the singing voice. Old Joey suffered from fever and could only lie in bed without moving, but he survived. According to the person's account, when Old Joey stopped singing, he heard the sound of something crawling and rubbing on the deck, as harsh as a wall made of fish scales, followed by the sound of unscrupulous chewing, as if someone was gnawing the flesh of an animal raw, including the bones. Although full of fear and uneasiness, Old Joey still fell asleep under the influence of unknown power. When he woke up again, the ship had returned to the port where it had set out. There was no one else on board except him, and more than thirty crew members had disappeared silently on the ship without leaving any trace. Since then, there have been rumors that the ship was cursed, and no one was willing to buy or lease it until Mr. Remington, who did not believe in evil, bought it generously and gave it a new name. After that incident, Old Joey was overstimulated and fell into madness. Some people said that he was pretending to be crazy in order to evade responsibility. However, what is certain is that Old Joey still has some feelings for the unknown being who climbed onto the ship that day. Based on this, he begged Remington several times to recruit him as a sailor. After that, to no avail, he sneaked into the ship several times, just to encounter the raging storm and the silent night again. In desperation, Mr. Remington allowed him to board the ship, but did not give him any work. The story ends here, there are
