Molly stood at the port looking at the endless end of the Lasveto Sea in the distance and sighed. Then she looked back at Abboud who looked nervous and shook her head.

"Chief! I didn't lie! I really saw that woman's boat diving into the sea..." Abboud began to defend in a panic.

"I didn't say I didn't believe you." Molly continued to shake her head and walked towards her residence with her hands behind her back, muttering along the way: "The ship with the metal shell... can also dive... It seems that it should be over there in the principality.

Something like a secret weapon. It seems that the relationship between Ms. Erica and Ms. Michael is closer than I thought..."

Aboud breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Molly really didn't think that his previous investigation report was a lie. Then he followed Molly's doubts and said: "Chief, is that woman really from the principality?"

"What do you mean?" Molly turned around and asked, "Any other insights?"

"No, I can't speak of opinions. But... I was born in the Kingdom of Solis. Although the Principality of Michael was born out of the Kingdom of Solis, the cultural style and clothing style still continue part of the traditions of the kingdom, so in my opinion

The clothes you wear when you come to the Principality shouldn't have that kind of inexplicable style." Abboud said and subconsciously looked back at the sea and continued: "It's not just that woman, the clothes of the other woman who just got on the boat with her are also different.

It's strange, and the material looks a bit strange, and it doesn't look like the clothes worn by humans around here at all. However, the clothes on the two little girls are very ordinary, but they look too watery, and they don't look like them at all.

Ordinary kids…”

"Well... you're right." Molly nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then said: "Let's put aside the matter about Ms. Erica for now. In short, she should not have anything to worry about with us at the moment.

After all, we have now reached a verbal agreement with Miss Mihail. I think she will come here again to sign a contract with us in the near future... No, I think she will come here again before tonight. By then... we will have to sacrifice our lives for her, you guys

Are you all ready?"

Molly turned around and asked a few other people around her. However, although most people nodded along with her tone, there were only two people who were a little indifferent. One of these two people replaced Abboud after he lost power.

Addison, his new confidant, and Rania, the former personal guard who was loyal to Molly, although they are both newly promoted confidants, Molly is still not particularly reassured about them. After all, according to the

Judging from the incident in Beacon Town, there should be a mole beside her who did not appear, and after a period of investigation, Molly targeted these two people.

Of course, only Molly knows about this matter at the moment, and even Emma, ​​who is closest to her at the moment, has not heard about it. After all, in addition to the confidentiality requirements, security is also a very noteworthy issue, so in the end

It's good that only Molly knows about it. People talk too much and don't know what they know. Who knows when they will be stabbed in the back by their blindly trusted subordinates. Anyway, Molly is not willing to endure such an accident, and

She also has no extra room for error.

"Do you two have any additional opinions?" Molly asked as she walked away: "Let's talk about it. If there are any omissions, I will pay attention to it."

"Chief, I'm not questioning your contract with Miss Michael, it's just... we are pirates, what's the real reason for the other party to believe in our surrender?" Addison winked and showed a forced smile.

"I have said, our current situation is not a defection." Molly explained solemnly: "The eldest lady does not seem to care about our defection, but the other party made a good proposal, so we

Now it has become a cooperative relationship. All she wants is that she urgently needs a fleet to serve her certain things here, and we happen to be very suitable for her needs. Of course, this matter also affects our future.

relationship, and if it goes through, the other party will also promise to sell a piece of land near Langdon Port for us to station. Although it is not a permanent residence, which is somewhat unsatisfactory, there is really no reason to refuse the benefits brought by other aspects.

excuse."

"Yes, there is really no excuse for us to refuse. But...what does the eldest lady want us to do?" Addison asked, still worried: "I remember that although the principality has a relatively peaceful relationship with the orcs,

But their power hasn’t penetrated to the Fang Coast, right? Don’t you think it’s unusual for the young lady to suddenly appear here?”

"I did notice this, but... do we have any intelligence channels over there, and we don't know what happened in the principality. And..." Molly thought back to her meeting with Chris and the conversation.

Some of the content and muttered: "I don't think she came here for an official visit to the orcs. Regardless of whether she is an envoy or not, at least she should have been the guest of honor when she was in the palace before.

So you shouldn’t sit in the lower seat looking so indifferent..."

"Look, this is too suspicious. How about we wait a little while before making a contract? At the very least, we can send some people to the principality to discuss some news and then make a decision." Addison looked at the dock.

The Blue Pearl said: "The Blue Pearl has the fastest speed, and it probably won't even take a day to get to Dayu Bay from here..."

"I would also like to..." Molly smiled helplessly, and then continued walking and said: "They told us by name that all of us and the boat should stay here and be on standby. And... the person we signed the contract with

It’s Kris Michael, not the Principality of Michael, so if there’s no proof from the other party, our ship will probably be wiped out by Venetia’s navy as soon as it enters Big Fish Bay.”

"Venecia?" Addison frowned in confusion.

"What? Don't you claim to be well-informed? Why don't you know the relationship between the Kingdom of Venetia and that eldest lady?" Molly teased unceremoniously.

"I am only well-informed in the fjord. After all...you know, I am there..." Addison smiled awkwardly.

"Kris Michael's mother is Sarah Rosas, and Sarah Rosas's mother is Catalina Rosas." Rania, who had been following Molly at this time, said abruptly

He opened his mouth and explained.

"So that's it, the granddaughter of the Marquis of the Sea... No wonder..." Addison muttered clearly: "It seems that we and the eldest lady are still on the same page. Now I feel relieved."

Molly looked at Addison who had regained his usual carefree and frivolous smile and shook his head helplessly. Then he turned to Rania and asked: "What do you think about this?"

"No, I have sworn allegiance to you, so I will obey all orders." Rania responded tepidly.

"What if I let you die?" Molly asked with a smile.

"I refuse." Rania replied decisively.

"Hmm... not bad." Molly nodded slightly satisfied and continued to walk forward.

"It's just... I have some doubts about that woman." Rania muttered again.

"That woman?" Molly probably guessed that the other person was talking about Erica. After all, as the personal bodyguard selected by Asa, Rania is still very sensitive to danger, so Molly may be somewhere else.

She was suspicious of her, but she didn't dare to ignore anyone she "noticed".

But then again, Molly felt that if she had brought Rania with Asa when traveling with Asa, perhaps Asa would not have been killed so easily, and this was exactly what Molly said to Rani after the accident.

Ya had a trace of distrust. Because Rania was sick before the first trip, she was not able to board the fleet and go out with Molly and Yasa. Later, Molly led everyone to escape from the fjord.

Later, we also secretly investigated some of Rania's whereabouts after Molly and her sister went out. Anyway, it is said that she left her residence on the day that Molly and the others went out, and she did not return mysteriously until two or three days later.

.

"Is there anything wrong with that woman?" Molly quickly asked back. After all, she couldn't show any flaws and be noticed by Rania at this time.

"The problem is not the woman herself, but the two little girls beside her." Rania hesitated inexplicably, as if she had something to say but couldn't say it for some reason.

.

Molly waved her hand to let the others leave first, while she and Rania stayed where they were. Of course, Addison and Aboud wanted to pretend not to see it and stay here without walking, but

Still, they were kicked away by Molly. After everyone had gone away, Rania quietly whispered into Molly's ear: "Those two little girls are not human beings. The one with blue hair is

The elf, the red-haired one is not clear yet, but he shouldn’t be a weak being.”

After Rania finished speaking, she immediately stood up straight and took a step back, while Molly lowered her head thoughtfully and thought for a while before raising her head to look at Rania.

"Are you sure?" Molly asked seriously.

"Very sure." Rania found that Molly didn't seem to believe her words, so she hesitated for a while again, and this time she even looked around carefully before relaxing as if she had made some kind of determination.

He said in a tone: "I... am a half-elf... Of course, my bloodline is very low and not pure, because my mother and grandmother are both half-elves, so by my generation, the bloodline of elves is already very weak."

Molly was very shocked by Rania's "candor". After all, judging from the appearance, as she said, Rania's appearance was indeed that of a human being, and her body... at least the exposed body surface

There are no obvious distinctive features of the elves on her face, so no one has ever linked her to the elves.

But after all, half-elves also have the blood of elves, even if they are degraded and diluted, they will still be half-elves. The abilities of elves are still poorly understood by humans, but everyone is still aware of the powerful perception ability of elves.

.If Rania did not lie, then what she said would not be wrong. The two little girls following the woman named Erica were indeed not that simple.

But then Molly seemed a little clueless again, because she felt that she might have misjudged the identity of the Erica pair. At first, Molly thought that the other person was Chris's bodyguard. After all, Chris was here.

She was the one who "escorted" them when they were there. In addition, there was a little girl from the mermaid tribe beside them, and because of Molly's origin, she mistakenly thought that the little girl from the mermaid tribe was Chris's.

"Toy", after all, as a pirate, Molly has also been exposed to this kind of work. In addition to the needs of some magicians or alchemists, the children of some upper-class nobles also like to raise mermaid children as special

It is a tool for various purposes, so when Molly first saw Marlene next to Chris, she subconsciously misunderstood it.

But now that she was looking at Chris and the people around her again, Molly suddenly had a new understanding, or it could be said that Rania's discovery had solved many of her previous doubts.

Recalling the first time I met them again, in the palace of Chief Zaula, the guests who were personally greeted and honored by the other party were an elf and a woman dressed in the same strange clothes, while Chris, Erica and the others were almost there.

One fell into the next seat. At first, Molly thought that the other party was hiding his identity or something, but now that he thought about it, it must be like this. Chris himself was not a guest visiting Zaumo, but more like a follower.

A companion who came with that group of people, so even after meeting the patriarch Savannah, he did not reveal his identity and continued to be an insignificant entourage.

Molly thought about the conversation she had with Chris before, and then shook her head with a smile.

Because no matter what the original purpose of Chris was, she had already revealed some inconspicuous clues when negotiating with herself. That is, when Chris signed the contract with herself, she specifically stated that she signed a contract with Molly.

It was her and not the Principality of Michael, which meant that the purpose of Chris coming here was more for herself than for the Principality of Michael.

At first, Molly didn't care much about this, but when she was talking to Addison just now, Molly thought about Chris's origins and some of her personal powers, as well as some of the things she heard about her some time ago.

Rumors. In particular, many intelligence points are saying that the eldest lady, who has announced that she has given up her right to inherit the duke, has the military and financial resources to compete with her father's duchy. There are also rumors that she has inheritance rights with the two.

There are also endless news about the quarrel between his brothers.

For some reason, Molly felt that this eldest lady was obviously too dangerous, and it seemed that the contract between herself and her was obviously too hasty.

Fortunately, the two parties have not yet formally signed a contract document with certain validity. At present, they have only made an agreement verbally. Molly couldn't help but take a deep breath. She felt that it was necessary to take a good look before signing the contract with Chris.

The only way to find out what this eldest lady is going to do, or what she is going to do in the future. In short, the benefits of working for her do seem to be very good, but if the other party wants to play too crazy, then Molly is not going to

Buried with her.

"Rania, you go to the captain's cabin of Blue Pearl to find Emma and ask her to give you the brass box on the bedside and then send it to me." Molly gave Rania some instructions.

Then he muttered on the spot: "It seems that we really need to make some preparations..."

At the same time, east of the coast where Diana sank the Fang, an exhausted Haru was dragging a companion who had not yet been drowned to the soft sand.

At this time, there were already dozens of equally exhausted and embarrassed jackals on the beach, gasping for air. After all, everyone had just experienced a near-death danger before surviving that terrible "natural disaster".
