Liu Zhi had no idea he had fallen into someone else's scheme. By noon the next day, he had received the ship the governor had mentioned.
Unlike the Death Star Ship Liu Zhi had seen before, this vessel was a passenger ship converted from a cargo ship. It looked quite similar to Liu Zhi's Ark, though it was somewhat smaller.
The ship had been outfitted for passenger transport, so several passageways for passengers to board and disembark had been added above the thrusters on both sides.
When the ship docked, gangways would be lowered from it.
Liu Zhi followed behind Videnina and boarded the ship the moment the gangway was lowered.
At the end of the gangway, a person who looked like a first mate was waiting to receive Liu Zhi and the others.
He first looked Videnina over. Only after confirming that Videnina had eight arms did he swallow nervously and say, "Greetings, Sword Queen."
"Sword Queen?"
Liu Zhi interrupted the first mate. "What does that mean?"
"The news has spread throughout the city. A sword-wielding Naga general accidentally obtained the royal inheritance and is now walking the path to becoming the Naga Queen. From the looks of things, that really is the case."
The moment he heard this, Liu Zhi sensed that something was wrong. The first mate's attitude toward him was clearly hostile.
And that hostility was not directed solely at Liu Zhi. It seemed that some of it was aimed at Videnina as well.
Liu Zhi looked around in confusion, then realized that this ship was Eagle-registered.
That immediately reminded Liu Zhi of the MI6 spies he had encountered the previous day.
Liu Zhi knew their efficiency all too well, so he immediately felt that he had been targeted by MI6 spies.
*Damn it, what did
