Chapter 157: Where Mina Belongs (1)
"The weather is great!" Ulysses, who stood on the deck and looked at the endless sea beneath him, exclaimed sincerely.
Above his head, the golden sun was emitting soft and warm sunlight. Beside him, the gentle sea breeze blew past the deck from time to time. This was indeed nice weather. Especially when there was only one week left to reach the continent, it was so exciting to encounter such pleasant weather.
"Rasputin! Cherie, do you have any plans after returning to the continent?" Ulysses asked Rasputin and Cherie standing next to him after enjoying the great weather for ten minutes. Seeing the day of returning to the continent approached day by day, he also began to think about where the girls on the ship might go in the future. Helen and Cherie would naturally stay with him. He didn't know about Arcelia. She didn't seem to be coming out of her room very much recently, and she didn't come to chat with him often. All he could ask was the two girls.
"Nothing special about Cherie's plan. Cherie will probably continue studying after returning home. But Cherie heard from the servants at home that Cherie might go to school this fall." Cherie in a blue dress thought about it for a while and gave her answer. But when it came to going to school, she expressed a little dissatisfaction, and the crystal hair ornament on her head shook from time to time, which seemed to represent her resistance.
"I haven't figured it out yet. As a mercenary, I can choose wherever I want to go. But the recent battles have made me a little discouraged, especially after seeing your battle. I think I might find a place to practice very hard for a while and strive to have Phantasm soon. I don't want to lose to you." Rasputin, who was still wearing the black cloak, also gave her answer. Compared to Cherie, her voice was full of confidence, as if nothing could stop her plan. But in the end, her voice was quieter, as if she didn't want Ulysses to hear it.
"However, if a certain someone wants. I can stay by his side forever. Anyway, I can practice anywhere." After taking a look at Ulysses, Rasputin blushed and added a sentence.
"Who is this certain someone? He can actually let you suspend your practice. If you want to practice very hard, you usually do it in a place where no one is around, right? Is he your lover?" Ulysses asked in confusion.
"Uh... it's nothing, I'm going to rest. You and Cherie can continue to enjoy the sun." Rasputin was dazed for a while, she didn't expect that Ulysses would fail to understand such an obvious hint. But she couldn't say that she wanted to stay with Ulysses. In desperation, she had to find an excuse to leave, otherwise, it would be super embarrassing to continue.
"Sigh! Ulysses, you are really a dense goose. It would be nice if your knowledge of girls was one-tenth of your swordsmanship. Can you really not see that I..." Behind the cabin, Rasputin let out a helpless sigh.
Strange? Does Rasputin want to talk about the man she likes? A man who can be worthy of a good girl like her should be a close to perfect person. Which nobleman is he? Or someone from the royal family? Or is he some 7th-level master?' Seeing Rasputin disappearing from the back on the deck, Ulysses' mind filled with all kinds of thoughts.
"Ah! Big Brother! It's a dolphin! It is a white dolphin!" While Ulysses was thinking about Rasputin, Cherie shouted excitedly, took his hand, and used his fingers to point to a direction in the sea.
"Dolphin? White?" Ulysses looked in the direction Cherie was pointing and saw a white dolphin swimming fast. He had much sharper eyes than Cherie. He was surprised to find that there was a black figure beneath the white dolphin. Although he hid well, the black clothes with the white dolphins were too conspicuous. Although the average person may not see clearly, Ulysses, whose eyesight was several times better than average people, would not miss it.
Oh right! White dolphin, black clothes. Isn't this the logo of the pirate group that Aya mentioned a few days ago? Do they still want to attack us? But now the Ulysses are well-manned, they shouldn't be able to take any advantage at all. So why are they coming back?' Seeing the white dolphin leaving quickly, Ulysses was a little puzzled.
Forget it. I will just tell Aya later, anyway, the current Ulysses should not be afraid of those pirates.' After thinking about it for a while, Ulysses stopped paying attention to this matter. Aya should be able to take care of it. After, Arcelia alone defeated them last time.'
Ulysses was right. The one hiding under the white dolphin was indeed the leader of the pirates-Johnny. As for why he, who had been caught by Arcelia and imprisoned on the ship, was hiding under a dolphin belonging to Mina, it started a few days ago.......
After casting the magic called Dark Eyes to Mina, Aya arrived in the room where Johnny was imprisoned.
Johnny, who had been imprisoned for several days not only didn't eat anything, but looked a little tired. Although the body of the seventh-level master was far beyond ordinary people, he still needed to eat.
After taking a look at Johnny's condition and confirming that he was still alive, Aya told him Mina's current condition and her amazing discovery.
"Are you saying that Mina is not a human? I have also noticed this. There are many races in the world, so this is not very strange." To Aya's surprise, Johnny seemed to have known about it a long time ago, he was not shocked at all.
"It seems that your attitude towards non-human races is very good. But you probably don't know that she is not from any race at all. In fact, she is..." In the end, Aya came to Johnny's ear and whispered.
"What! Mina is actually..." This time, Johnny finally showed the expression of shock that Aya expected. No, it was not just shock, that expression even brought a hint of despair. As if he had just received the news that his relatives were about to die.
"In the current state, I don't have to lie to you at all. Have you heard of anyone that can have Phantasm without training? Even the strongest dragon can't do it." Aya said calmly. .
"Indeed, but what is the use of you telling me this? Now that we are all in your hands. What do you want? According to you, Mina's life is only one year left. Do you want me and my pirate team to work for you?" Johnny said calmly after a period of silence.
"You deserve to be a strong man who rules thousands of pirates. You can figure out what I want so quickly. But I am not interested in you and your pirate group. What I want is Mina. Don't ask me why, I can only say that only with me can she have the hope of continuing to survive." Aya said seriously.
Hearing that Aya could save Mina, Johnny's face showed a hint of joy, but soon he fell into deep thought.
Silence, deathly silence, even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard. In the following time, the two did not speak any more, but looked at each other. In the process of looking at each other, both sides saw some unknown things in each other's eyes. "Fine! Now that you have caught me, I can only be at your mercy. Tell me your plan, if what I guess is right, you want me to play along with you? However, if you can, please don't hurt Mina. She is actually a very good kid. Her future should be as brilliant as the stars in the night sky. I originally planned to make her a princess after reclaiming my throne. There shouldn't be any sorrow in her life. "After a long silence, Johnny said his only request.
"No problem. I just want her to be one of ours. To be blunt, it's still unknown whether you will succeed in rebuilding the country. Rather than let her stay with you pirates, it's better for her to come with us. She can have a free life on the continent." Seeing Johnny finally give up, Aya smiled with satisfaction.
A few minutes later, Johnny, who was released from the imprisonment, followed Aya to her room. At this time, Arcelia had put on a white pajamas for Mina as ordered by Aya. Since the pajamas in Dark Dimension Space were all prepared for Ulysses, this pajama looked a little bigger, but it was better than nothing.
"Johnny! Are you here to save me?" Mina cried out excitedly when she saw Johnny's figure. But she soon noticed something was wrong. If Johnny were to rescue her, it would be absolutely impossible to walk with the demon named Aya in peace.
"Okay, little pirate! Don't expect him to save you. I brought him to make a bet with you." Looking at Mina who had a surprised expression, Aya showed a strange smile on her face.
"Listen carefully! The content of this bet is that I will let go of this pirate named Johnny, but you will voluntarily stay on this ship until we return to the continent. During this time, if you join us voluntarily, you can no longer be a pirate. If you don't want to join us, you can go back to the pirate group by yourself after we return to the continent."
"It's that simple?" Mina looked at Aya who had a weird smile in confusion. In her opinion, she definitely would not lose this bet.
"Yes! It's that simple, as long as you don't say 'I will voluntarily become the apostle of Ulysses' before returning to the continent! You will be free." Aya said happily....Looking for volunteering editors to speed up my releasing speed.
