Chapter 658: Surprise Attack (I)


Lighting was the most common thing in Lorne's era, but in another world, it was considered a luxury item.

For example, the sparkling stones used by the Stuart family are worth thousands of gold.

In order to preserve them, it is generally not necessary to seal them specially.

But Miss Athena's ship is not so petty.

When it gets dark, in order not to affect the mood, lampstands made of bright crystals are hung everywhere on the ship.

In contrast, ordinary ships would certainly not receive such treatment.

Oil lamps are already the best equipment.

However, compared with the hanging lamps made of bright crystal stones, they are not even one or two grades behind in terms of appearance and practicality.

Therefore, Castev only needs to keep an eye on the brightest ship.

But it would be very stupid to have sixteen pirate ships attack at the same time.

The Pirate King is not a novice who doesn't know anything.

Arranging his confidants to be responsible for intercepting and harassing the outside, Castev personally boarded an imperial-style ship to prepare to welcome his bride.

For the sake of speed, there will naturally be no extra things carried on board.

They are densely packed with ferocious-looking pirates.

It was the Pirate King's plan to engage in hand-to-hand combat and then snatch Athena's flagship directly.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if Lorne was on top.

The Pirate King must thank his little brother properly.

Although the naughty little brother threw the Lantern Beast he sent into the sea halfway, who makes him the king?

Castev still has some such things as belly. of.

When the time comes to collect the ransom, he will give Lorne a 20% discount at most.

Not knowing that the danger was approaching, Lorne, who had lost his Lantern Beast, focused all his attention on Athena.

He thought that his enemy was just Miss Stuart, but the beasts who didn't understand navigation could not have imagined that Castev without guidance could still find their location.

The fall of night has reduced a lot of entertainment activities on the ship, but this is not a problem for Baron Fast who came from the earth, and the existence of sparkling stones also gave them a good environment.

On a large table, Baron Fast was waving a wooden wine glass in his hand.

Naturally, it is impossible to store fine wine in an upside-down wine glass.

The clanging sound also confirmed what kind of behavior Baron Fast was engaging in at the moment.

Gambling has always been a man's favorite.

After arriving in another world for more than a year, Lorne finally came up with his own invention.

Unfortunately, gambling with dice is far from noble.

But for those who have sailed for five or six days, there is nothing more enjoyable than gambling.

Lorne's gambling even made most of the nobles on the ship participate.

On the one hand, it was naturally to relieve the loneliness of the journey.

On the other hand, Lorne also did this to build a closer relationship with them.

Having decided to go to the Heretic Island, Baron Fast needs to gather all the available forces.

For example, Letnais, the natives of the Heretic Island have lost nothing.

But the generous Baron Fast still lent him a lot of gold coins.

Of course, as the banker, Lorne would not pay anything as long as no accident happened.

The biggest winner was Arnold, but Lorne happily gave gold coins to the Grand Knight Galen.

Because he needs Yuanwang City's top master to protect his safety, making the other party happy is the easiest way to close the distance between the two parties.

As a result, it can be seen from the two calling each other's names that the recovered Baron Fast has become friends at the gambling table with the top player in Yuanwang City.

It's just that the scene of a group of men chatting together is really annoying.

Athena can't stand this group of men who have been gathering around each other every day since Lorne built such a gambling table.

But the sailing journey is really boring.

After all the work is taken by the sailors, these nobles want to have some fun.

It would be too unkind for her to object.

Therefore, Miss Stuart has been giving Lorne a lot of looks these days.

He even came to find fault with Baron Fast when he had nothing to do.

Fortunately, he had Arnold as his escort, otherwise Lorne would have suffered a lot of physical pain.

He could see it very clearly, whether it was Athena or Wendel, the follower around the girl, they had the I-want-to-beat-you expression all day long.

And Lorne did not seize the opportunity to change his impression of Athena.

However, on a ship, without looking up, Lorne's understanding of Athena no longer only remained in One-sided.

First of all, Miss Stuart's sailing skills shocked the Baron.

Let’s not talk about steering.

The scary thing is that the girl can actually sail and measure the wind.

This was really beyond Lorne's expectations, and it also made him discover another side of Miss Stuart under her countless halo.

Another example is his bet.

Even though Athena may not like it horizontally and vertically, if Lorne hadn't come up with this thing, the eldest lady would have joined in long ago.

And judging from her conversation with the sailors and her behavior after getting on the boat, Lorne felt that Athena was more like a boatman's daughter than a young lady.

Sometimes Lorne would even wonder if Athena would be happier than she is now if she really married Castoff and became a female pirate, but that was just a hypothesis.

As the eldest lady of the Stuart family, Athena Xina's life was destined long ago.

It reminds me of the girl pretending to be a ghost and humming on the bow of the boat on her first night after going to sea.

It was pitiful, maybe a little bit.

But here in Lorne, he felt that women were even more hateful.

Because they were having a good time, Athena brought her followers over to cause trouble.

"What time of the day is it?

The sailors still have work to do.

We have to give them some time to rest."

In the world of nobles, only commoners come to accommodate the nobles.

How can there be nobles who care whether the commoners sleep well?

Besides, those sailors are magical creatures.

As long as they can lie down, even if someone is beating gongs and drums next to them, they can do it.

Sleep as soundly as a rock.

She said it would disturb them, but Lorne believed that Athena thought they were too noisy.

But the boat belongs to her Stuart family, and it's hard for him to have any conflicts with Athena if the owner speaks.

While greeting Letnais, who had become his bookkeeper beside him, to collect money and settle accounts, Baron Fast secretly rolled his eyes at Athena, but found that the starry sky outside the window that should have been dotted with stars suddenly turned dark.

Without correctly understanding what was going on, the baron, who was learning and selling things quickly, said something to Letnais on the side.

"The storm is coming" The weather at sea is unpredictable.

Using stargazing to guess the weather is indeed what Letnais told Lorne, but there is an essential difference between the thick dark clouds and the approaching warship
