The sky was as blue as a wash, and the fresh sea breeze blew through the white sails, brushed the masts, and passed through the warships.
The Rebel Knight has a total of five cabins. In addition to the crew of the Star Wind Fleet, there are also the Hammerfell mages on board.
They wore burgundy robes standard for researchers from the Department of Magical Energy Technology, holding record books and maintenance machinery in their hands to maintain the Shantiri device on the ship.
Although the main body of the Rebel Knight was built by the mages of Hammerfell, it is also the first time for them to officially set sail. This kind of research opportunity is precious and fresh. They will not let go of this opportunity and carry out it eagerly. Experiment and research.
It has been some time since Li Ran led the Star Wind Fleet to leave the coast of the Wolf Principality.
This fleet went deep into the ocean and continued sailing on the vast and silent sea. Although it encountered two thunderstorms, it was lucky enough to pass through the sea area covered by thunderclouds.
In a corner on the deck of the Rebel Knight, Eureka, dressed in a women's sailor uniform, leaned lazily on the railing. A bird with silver and blue feathers flew around her, flying to the sea from time to time. above the plane.
"Lan Ling, don't get too far from the ship!" Eureka warned with some worry, "There are mechanical tribes under the water, and it will be dangerous to get too close to the sea."
Lan Ling seemed to understand her words, and flew back with fluttering wings, landing on the woman's hand.
Eureka gently stroked Lan Ling's little head. The bird closed its eyes and chirped happily, seemingly enjoying it.
Devour
The sea breeze lifted the hem of Eureka's pure white skirt and ruffled her sandy-blond hair. Eureka reached out and lifted the hair covering her eyes, looking at the rolling sea and lost in her thoughts.
In the past three months, she has faithfully fulfilled her promise to Li Ran and perfectly played the key role of acting lord.
The experience during this period reminded her of the past.
As an Imperial Ombudsman, you not only need to master powerful force, but also need to be proficient in politics and management skills. In order to fulfill your duty of eradicating corruption and rebellion, you need to understand the dark side of the operation of imperial power.
In these aspects, there is no doubt that Eureka is qualified, even excellent.
The days of studying and further training in the Holy Empire Tribunal of Jorvik were her unforgettable memories. Because the inspector's work was extremely outstanding, she once received personal commendation from Queen Farida.
However, before this, Eureka did not have noble status.
Many people don't believe that she actually grew up in a small fishing village by the sea.
However, the interesting thing is that the old fisherman who raised her said that Eureka was not his child.
He once told Eureka with a smile that she was found inside the shell of a sea clam.
There is a legend circulating in some coastal areas of the empire. It is said that the most beautiful woman in the world was born from a shell. Her skin is as white and moist as white pearls, and her eyes are as deep and moving as black pearls.
It's just that the woman in the legend was a girl when she was born, and Eureka was just a baby when she was discovered from the sea clam.
The old fisherman died when Eureka was ten years old. He never let Eureka call him daddy. Instead, he said that she was a gift from the goddess of water, Sarah. It was already a great achievement to be able to raise her. What an honor.
Eureka did not take these strange statements seriously. After the old fisherman passed away, she did not stay in the village, but traveled to the border city of the Falcon Principality.
At that time, the empire had just emerged from the demonic war. The population of various places had been greatly reduced, and the army had suffered heavy losses. In order to recruit talents as quickly as possible, even the Inquisition Inspectors, Praetorian Guards and other troops, which had always been controlled by nobles, began to recruit civilians to participate in the assessment.
It was at this time that Eureka received training from the Inquisition and became a trainee inspector.
Since then, Eureka has seen too much corruption, darkness, and injustice. Most of the nobles and lords of the empire do not care about the life and death of their subjects, but only care about the size of his pocketbook and castle.
In this circle, Eureka was out of place and suffered retaliation and rejection from the nobles because of her fair behavior.
This is why Eureka, as a dignified inspector, was placed in a remote city like Starwind City.
Only later, she met Li Ran.
Li Ran is completely different from the lords Eureka has seen. He develops and builds his territory in a down-to-earth manner, with unique methods and a long-term vision. He always maintains a certain determination and enthusiasm for the goals he has identified.
In Eureka's view, the Star Wind Territory is not only a miracle, but also an anomaly - in the entire territory, except for the lord Li Ran, there is no distinction between nobles and commoners.
Even Li Ran is not a "noble" in the true sense. If you look into it more deeply, he was born as an "adventurer".
That's why Eureka is willing to follow him.
Eureka is looking forward to where this man who continues to create miracles can go in the future.
Regardless of success or failure, Eureka is willing to follow him until the final moment arrives.
I just don’t know why, but since Li Ran returned to Ashan, an inexplicable emotion has been lingering in Eureka’s heart.
Every time I see Li Ran, that emotion becomes stronger.
Eureka stared blankly at the sea.
What was the reason for her uneasiness?
Eureka couldn't figure it out, so she decided not to think about it anymore.
She is not an indecisive person and does not allow herself to be immersed in inexplicable emotions.
Eureka shook her head, getting rid of the messy thoughts in her mind, and became determined again.
Li Ran walked down from the bridge and waved to her: "Eureka, what are you looking at?"
It's him.
"It's nothing, I'm just looking at the sea."
"The process of ocean voyage is indeed a bit boring," Li Ran said with a smile, "Why don't you let me try it and see if my swordsmanship has deteriorated?"
Li Ran came to the deck, picked up the one-handed sword prepared for the boarding battle from the supply box next to the ship's side, and threw one of them to Eureka.
The two of them stabilized their sword stance and then started moving at the same time.
Li Ran raised his long sword high and launched a fierce attack from the top position. Eureka calmly blocked with his sword horizontally, but she didn't expect that Li Ranjian quickly changed his moves in mid-air, from exerting downward force to retreating and cutting horizontally.
Eureka reacted very quickly and recognized this as a classic variation of Griffin's swordsmanship. She immediately twisted her wrist and the high-speed rotating blade narrowly blocked Li Ran's sweeping move.
Li Ran shouted "Hello" and continued to launch a fierce attack. He struck several times with his quick sword, attacking from both sides. Eureka quickly drew out his sword and blocked the sword light one by one. At this time, Li Ran's momentum had been greatly weakened, and due to the rapid and fierce attack Rushing forward, the steps began to be disordered.
Eureka adopted a defensive counterattack strategy, and the sword blade went straight towards Li Ran's arm at a tricky angle.
However, Li Ran's actions surprised her.
He didn't retreat or dodge, but let go, dropped the sword, and pounced forward.
Eureka exclaimed, and when she realized what she was doing, she was already lying on the deck.
