It didn't take long before the fleet behind accelerated and blocked the way of their two ships.
In the center of the fleet, on the bow of what was clearly the flagship, a man dressed as an adjutant stood there with an arrogant expression. He looked at the two ships before him and repeated in a tone full of command:
"Please stop the boat and allow us to inspect it."
Although he used the word "please", he did not show any politeness at all, and his attitude was completely unquestionable.
On the luxury cruise ship, Sekara sighed after hearing this.
These pirates say they are checking, but do you think they won’t take away the good stuff when they find it?
To put it bluntly, it's just robbery in a different way.
This time he went to the Eternal Night Star Sea to search for treasure, so he naturally brought a lot of precious things on the ship to save his life. How could he let these pirates go on board to check? What's the difference between this and putting a mouse in a rice jar?
What if these pirates get on board and point at something and say it was lost by him?
With his own strength, Tuskala would definitely not offend him to death, but it was probably inevitable that he would suffer some losses.
He was well aware of the shamelessness of these pirates. In order to avoid being at a disadvantage and arguing with the other party, the best way was to prevent them from boarding the ship for inspection.
So, after the man dressed as an adjutant finished speaking, he took the initiative to stand out and loudly asked the adjutant:
"I wonder what kind of pet the Emperor lost? I'll have the crew search the ship. If we find it, we'll definitely return it."
The implication is that they sent people to search on their own.
After hearing this, the adjutant narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
After seeing Sekara, the arrogance on his face faded a little, and a smile appeared on his face:
"I was wondering who it was, but it turns out to be the legendary treasure hunter whose fame spreads throughout the Dark Sea, His Excellency the Iron-Blooded General Ebi."
"I didn't expect you to be on this ship. Are you heading to the Eternal Night Sea to hunt for treasure again?"
Obviously, he had heard of Sekara's name. This was a Sequence 4 Beyonder, and he deserved some respect.
Because their great Emperor is also an extraordinary person, and respecting other extraordinary people is respecting His Majesty the Emperor.
When Sekara, who was standing by the side of the ship, heard the change in the adjutant's tone, he felt a little relieved and realized that this emergency had been half resolved.
Next, I just need to continue to be tough and not let them board the ship for inspection, and the matter will be settled.
Although Tuskala is a Sequence 3 Pirate Emperor, there is no chasm between Sequence 3 and Sequence 4. In a sudden encounter, he should have no problem escaping.
Unless they were sure of completely killing him, no one would want to offend him and risk the crazy revenge of a Sequence 4 afterwards.
Sekara, feeling a little relieved, looked at the adjutant and smiled, saying with a laugh:
"I really want to try my luck in the Eternal Night Star Sea."
"Your Majesty the Emperor appears here. Could it be that he also wants to try his luck in the Eternal Night Starry Sea?"
The adjutant heard that Sekala wanted to know the emperor's purpose. He smiled slightly, avoided the topic, and talked about other things.
He pointed at the civilian merchant ship where Estelle and the others were and asked with interest:
"General, is this ship also yours?"
Even though he was so close, when he looked in the direction of the ship, he still couldn't see it clearly, as if there was a layer of mist covering the ship.
With his decades of experience at sea, he could tell at a glance that this ship was no ordinary vessel and might be hiding a big secret, so he asked Sekala this question.
Sekala's mind raced as he pondered how to respond. He already understood that the other party was targeting the ship of his Captain North.
Now he has two options. One is to say no, keep himself out of it, and leave directly. He thinks Tuskala will not stop him.
One option is to say yes, risk offending Tuscarala, and do Captain North a favor.
As they were all sailors who had sailed on the sea for many years, the adjutant should have seen at a glance that the ship was not his. After all, the distance between the two ships did not seem to indicate that they had the same owner.
The other party is giving me a way out. As long as I answer no, they will immediately make way for me and others to leave.
So, is it worth it for the young captain with a mysterious background to take such a big risk?
Sekara's expression changed several times, and he finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Yes, that boat is also mine. I use it to store some supplies."
In the end, he chose to take a chance and trust the young captain with a mysterious origin. The next place they were going to was the Eternal Night Starry Sea. If he did him a favor now, if he encountered danger in the Eternal Night Starry Sea in the future, maybe he could let the other party save him.
As for Tuskala, he's just a pirate, so just offend him.
The adjutant's smile faded, and he looked towards Sekala with a forced smile, confirming again:
"General, please think carefully. Is this really your ship?"
Now that the decision has been made, Sekala will no longer hesitate and immediately said decisively:
"yes!"
Just at this moment, a sharp and piercing voice reached everyone's ears.
"He lied! He lied! He lied! . . . "
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a colorful parrot flapping its wings and repeating the word "lie" in the direction of Sekala.
The adjutant explained calmly, "He's a truly honest parrot. He can tell the difference between truth and lies."
"It seems that our General wants to become an enemy of His Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ships surrounding the flagship pointed their guns, which were engraved with ritual formations, at Sekara.
It seemed that as long as the adjutant gave the order, they would fire without hesitation.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire sea area became stagnant.
The strong men looked at the black muzzles of the guns, and each of them had a solemn look on their face.
As warriors, they are never afraid of fighting.
Just as Sekara was about to continue speaking, Estelle, who had already heard the whole process, spoke up.
Her gentle and pleasant voice, carried by the sea breeze, reached the ears of everyone present.
"We appreciate your kindness, Lord Sekara. Let us handle the rest of the matter ourselves."
Hearing these words without any panic and still so calm, Sekara was completely relieved.
He understood that his bet was right. The women on that ship definitely had the confidence to handle the incident in front of them, otherwise they would not be as calm as they were now.
This made him even more curious about who they were and why he had never heard of them before.
