But in Athena's eyes, it was a decent place, but in Lorne's eyes, it could be called an out-and-out primitive society.
From the first group of cavalry he met, Lorne discovered that this place seemed relatively primitive.
Because feathers and animal bones are used as decorations, in Lorne's opinion, that is a sign of primitive people.
Moreover, the clothes of those soldiers were also slightly backward.
Clothes made of linen were something that even the northern border had already eliminated.
After seeing the simple and shabby city wall, his guess was even more confirmed.
The people here are only slightly more civilized than the wasteland pirates.
But there was one issue that worried Lorne very much.
Logically speaking, his fellow countryman had already developed a steam engine.
Why are the residents of the Heretic Island so different in their level of civilization?
Even if it is because of hostility, it seems impossible that there is such a big gap.
What's more, with such backwardness, how could they not be annexed?
If it were before, Lorne really couldn't find anyone who could help him answer his questions.
But now, because of Athena's loss of virginity, although Lorne and Wendell despised each other, at least they began to communicate more.
After asking his question, Wendell, who was specifically responsible for monitoring Lorne, glanced at the baron, seeming to express his contempt for Lorne, but he finally answered for Lorne.
"On the Heretic Island, except for Brilliant City, the other two wizards never communicate with others.
If they hadn't been unable to withstand the pressure from Brilliant City later, maybe our Stuart family would still be unable to have contact with them.
And it is precisely because of the assistance of our Stuart family that they can barely fight against Brilliant City. " When talking about the Stuart family, these guys with Stuart in their names always sound proud.
I was unhappy with Wendell's showing off, but Lorne didn't hit the poor guy about Athena.
After all, Wendell satisfied his curiosity.
The poor relative said it was simple, but Lorne could figure out the situation of the Heretic Island by himself.
Since Brilliant City, his fellow countryman, came from the earth, it is not difficult to understand that the other party is trying to establish diplomatic relations with surrounding forces.
As for the other two wizards, seclusion has been their past strategy.
Later, it was probably because they were severely suppressed by Brilliant City that they had to ask the Stuart family for help.
Regardless of what Wendell said about help, it can be seen from the fact that these natives detained members of their Stuart family that the so-called help is not that simple.
The greedy Sea Duke is probably extorting or even exploiting these natives.
If they know that there is a Sea Duke's daughter here, Lorne believes that Athena's fate will be what Castev said.
Miss Stuart also knew that the Stuart family was not popular here.
After observing the city wall, she retreated.
But Castev immediately got close to him and was shameless, and Lorne realized that he was actually far inferior to Casteff.
"Miss Deep Sea Pearl, there were no city walls when I came here a few years ago.
But now that they have walls, it will be too difficult to get in.
Why don't we go take a look at the ship on the beach first?
After we leave here, I will have a way to gather my men.
When the time comes, when the lady gives the order, I promise to kill all the guys here and help the lady rescue all your men."
It was unclear whether the simple city wall was just a new building as Castev said.
Based on the concept that pirates cannot be trusted, Athena directly believed that Castev was deliberately causing trouble.
If there is not enough power, who knows if the Pirate King will cause trouble on the road.
What's more, this guy also said just now that he can contact the pirates in the wasteland after leaving here.
If that were the case, wouldn't she be surrounded by pirates again?
"No, I can't leave my people and run away.
Since you often rob here, why don't you have a way to enter the city?
Rescue them for me.
I can guarantee you that our Stuart family will not retaliate against you."
He tricked Castev into working for his life, but the Pirate King was not a vegetarian either.

From the beginning, he never thought about saving people for Athena, not to mention looking at the eldest lady's current appearance, it was obvious that he wanted to be the vanguard.
Although the Pirate King knew that there was no defense in the city when he tortured the prisoners, this guy looked like a dead pig and refused to take the lead in boiling water.
Athena was unable to force the Pirate King for a while.
Lorne, who was also not prepared to take risks to rob people, couldn't help but step forward to act as a peacemaker.
He had been waiting for several days and there was no news from Lyle and the others.
The Baron couldn't help but wonder if all his transformed people had been shipwrecked.
At this time, of course it is more important to leave as soon as possible.
"You two, should you confirm the position of the ship first and then consider how to save people?"
The rash interruption naturally drew a blank look from Athena.
But Castev agreed with his little brother, and the shameless pirate king was even ready to attack the guards as soon as he arrived.
The guards who were attacked would definitely run away, and if their whereabouts were exposed, what else could they do except escape by boat?
The Pirate King's calculations were ringing, but reality gave him a hard punch.
Pressing the captives through the dense woods, there was indeed a boat, but the half-sunken ship stranded in the sea did not look like it could still sail.
The originally promised guard was nowhere to be seen, and the nearby debris proved that someone had indeed been active here before.
After taking a closer look, Lorne also found some blood stains.
It seemed that the people on the ship were indeed captured as Castev said.
As for why the ship sank, he guessed that the natives of the Island of Heresy might have done so on purpose.
After questioning the prisoners on the side, Castev, the Pirate King confirmed Lorne's guess: "The ship was pierced by locals.
It should be the guy who escaped last time who brought the news back."
Scuttling the ship was intended to trap them on the island.
But since they knew they were going to sink the ship, why not just set up an ambush nearby?
Don’t the natives know that they are short of ships?
Lorne clearly remembered that the encounter some time ago took place not far from the Breaker.
Unless those cavalry were blind, they should have known that they needed the ship to leave.
After carefully observing the surroundings, Lorne determined that there was no hidden ambush.
This situation of neither letting them leave nor coming to fight with them made the Baron think of a possibility.
And Athena can naturally guess what Lorne is thinking of.
The girl was so sure that she drew her sword and pointed it at Kastev.
She questioned the Pirate King
