It turns out that the duke is not human

The four of Xiao Man followed the maintenance robot onto the transport starship that looked like a transport starship, but was actually a smuggling starship.

Although this starship was well camouflaged, as an experienced starship captain who had traveled around the empire all year round, Xiao Man could tell at a glance that this starship was unusual.

And the starship that would appear in such a remote star field, how could it be an ordinary transport starship?

If it wasn't because their starship was scrapped, the communication system couldn't be used, and the two armed starships could come back at any time, Xiao Man would not have agreed to board a stranger's starship.

The four were relaxed on the surface, but in fact they followed behind the maintenance robot with great vigilance.

They all carry weapons on their bodies, and as long as they find something wrong, they will draw their weapons immediately.

Being taken by the robot to a place with four rectangular tables that looked like a starship restaurant, Xiao Man finally met the person in charge of the starship.

Contrary to their expectations, there were only two people, a man and a woman.

The man has a beautiful face that is not human, his short golden and silver hair is shining brightly under the light of the energy lamp, and there is a vague smile on the corner of his mouth.The woman looked underage, with a round face, big eyes, and long pink hair, looking at them curiously.

When they were less than five meters away, the four of Xiao Man felt the fear in their blood.

It was the fear of being pressured by pure blood.

Immediately, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the four, and the other three stopped in place, stiff and afraid to move.

Only Xiao Man stepped forward with difficulty and walked about two meters away from the two before stopping, with his right hand trembling slightly on his chest, bowing to the two of them.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking us in. We are extremely grateful for your tolerance and generosity."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Man didn't dare to get up, and could only bend down and wait quietly.

The clothes on her back were soaked in cold sweat, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears.

God knows how much effort it took her to get out of these few steps and speak a complete sentence in a voice that didn't tremble.

She never expected to see a pure blood His Royal Highness on this starship.

If she had known that she would encounter such a terrifying existence, even if she had to wait for rescue in the scrapped starship for half a year, she would not have agreed to board this starship.

In her cognition, pure blood is superior, the least to be provoked, and she cannot afford to be provoked.

After running missions for so many years, she has served many 'special groups', but the highest bloodline is just a fallen marquis.

Although this mission was issued by the Council of Elders, none of the 'special groups' to be escorted had a high bloodline. At least there was only one earl on Xiaoman's starship, and he was an earl of the elves.

It is impossible for a "special group" with low blood like her to see a pure-blooded Highness in person, let alone such a close contact.

Shu Shu looked at the woman in front of her curiously. Through the way of identifying spiritual power taught by Simon, she could sense the meager blood in the woman.

She is a werewolf, but her blood is very low.

"Why did you appear here? Why were you chased by two armed starships?" Simon asked in a steady voice.

But the voice was wrapped in the coercion of pure blood, like a huge mountain, the three of them could hardly breathe.

Unable to bear the pressure, she knelt and sat on the ground.

Xiao Man didn't know what happened to the three people behind her, but she felt that there was a heavy weight on her back, very heavy.

It was so heavy that she couldn't straighten her waist, and she could barely maintain the ninety-degree bowing posture with all her strength.

Just when Xiao Man felt that he could not hold on any longer, a clear and sweet voice that sounded like the sounds of nature in Xiao Man's ears came from the front.

"My lord, you scared them."

Xiao Man only felt his body lighten, and the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared. His body couldn't adapt for a moment, and he fell forward directly on the ground.

Just when she was about to get up, a pair of soft hands helped her up.

Looking up, Xiao Man saw a baby face looking at her with concern

"Are you okay?" Shu Shu asked.

Xiao Man shook his head quickly, then waved his hands to indicate that he didn't need to be supported, and got up from the ground with hands and feet.

"No...it's okay..."

Not only the voice, but Xiao Man's legs were trembling, and he almost lost his footing.

"You should be the captain of that starship, right?" Shu Shu asked with a smile.

Xiao Man nodded his head lightly, and from the corner of the eye he secretly glanced at the man who was still sitting in his original position.

The coercion just now was really terrifying.

Thinking of the girl in front of her calling that man, Lord Duke, Xiao Man felt apprehensive.

The duke's coercion is so terrifying, what about the prince?
Xiao Man didn't dare to imagine, she just wanted to leave here quickly.

Shu Shu then asked, "What's your name?"

"Xiao...Man, you can call me Xiaoman." Xiao Man bowed his head respectfully.

Although this girl didn't have any blood pressure, Xiao Man didn't dare to neglect her calmness in front of a duke.

Shu Shu smiled and nodded: "Why were you chased here by those two armed starships?"

This time Xiao Man didn't hesitate, and told everything he knew exactly.

Although Xiao Man signed a non-disclosure agreement when accepting the task, there is a Duke sitting here, so he should be related to the Council of Elders, and maybe he knows about this task, so it shouldn't be a problem to tell the content of the task of the Council of Elders.

Maybe.

Xiao Man felt uneasy, but she was here, even with the three behind her, not to mention taking out weapons, she had no thought of resisting.

He can only bow his head in front of Qiangwei, this is Xiao Man's accumulated experience from running missions for so many years.

After listening to Xiao Man's narration, Shu Shu turned her head and looked at Simon.

This thing is kind of weird... no, it should be weird.

The Council of Elders issued a mission to find a group of scattered individual starships to escort a group of "special groups" with low bloodlines. No matter how you look at it, it seems impossible.

Not to mention that each family in the Presbyterian Church has a large number of starships. There is really no way to send a fleet to pick up people. You can also directly hire a transportation company to hire an entire fleet instead of these scattered individual starships. Put together a fleet.

Unexpectedly, the fleet was attacked shortly after departure, and Shu Shu felt that the elders did this on purpose.

The entire fleet, including Xiao Man who received the mission, were all bait thrown by the elders.

Used to lure the enemy.

But what about the follow-up?
After being lured out, why didn't they counterattack, but let the two armed starships attack the fleet?
What is the purpose of the elders in doing this?
Shu Shu really couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that both of them were silent for a while after she finished speaking, Xiao Man secretly raised her head and glanced at them.

"That... If there is nothing else, can we go back to our starship?" Xiao Man felt that he had used all his courage to say this sentence.

Shu Shu recovered from her contemplation, she shook her head and said, "You guys can't go back."

"Why?" Xiao Man asked in surprise.

Could it be that they were kidnapped by the Duke?
No, they came up by themselves, and how could a Duke kidnap them?
Xiao Man was annoyed at having such an unrealistic idea.

She felt that her head must have been hit by a starship to have such an idea.

Shu Shu didn't know what Xiao Man was thinking, she pointed to the only window facing the outside in the restaurant and said: "We have already left that area, and now we should enter the Olga galaxy.

It's too dangerous to go back. "

In a word, Xiao Man and the others completely dispelled the idea of ​​returning to the abandoned starship.

Now that he has passed the border, it is very likely that he will be stopped by the imperial army on the way back.

indeed,

Too dangerous.

*
Not long after entering the Olga Galaxy, Alfred notified Shu Shu that the Internet connection was successful.

Thinking of being able to contact the eldest sister and the second sister again, Shu Shu was very happy.

In the past half a year, although she couldn't connect to the Internet, Shu Shu used other methods to deliver the news.

For example, write a program for the robots next to some people who are running to the Olga galaxy. As long as they arrive at the Olga galaxy and connect to the network of the empire, they will automatically send out several messages.

At the beginning, Shu Shu would find a robot that was about to leave the Schiller galaxy to write the same program almost every other day.

I hope that Shu Yun and Shu Yue can hear from her as soon as possible.

Later, there were fewer starships leaving the Schiller galaxy, so Shu Shu couldn't send messages so frequently, but as long as she found a starship leaving the Schiller galaxy, she would program the robot.

However, the content is no longer the same. Regardless of whether the previous news was successfully sent, Shu Shu will write about recent events, such as what scenery she saw, what strange dishes she ate, etc.

It has been seven days since the last time I 'sent a message'. I don't know if the eldest sister and second sister have received it.

Shu Shu thought so, and suddenly found that her cheek was pinched.

The strength was not strong, but it brought Shu Shu back to her senses, and she raised her hands subconsciously to protect her chubby cheeks.

"What are you thinking?" Simon asked.

The feel of the little face is still as good as ever.

"I think I can finally have a video with the eldest sister and the second sister." Shu Shu put down her hands and asked curiously: "Is there no one you want to meet, Lord Duke?"

Simon was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting the little girl to ask such a question.

Touching his chin as if he was seriously thinking about this question, Simon shook his head lightly and said, "It's really not there."

Although he said so, Simon felt that there was actually someone he wanted to see, Si Jun who had been missing for six years.

He wanted to ask that guy what he had been doing these past few years, and if he knew that so many things had happened, why he didn't come out and take care of it.

That guy likes to take care of this kind of thing the most, and he always talks about living in peace, and from time to time he wants to protest the decisions of the elders.

"Then..." Shu Shu tilted her head, "If we haven't seen each other for a long time, will the Duke miss me?"

Simon reached out and touched the top of the pink hair, and asked without answering, "Will you miss me?"

"Of course!" Shu Shu said without thinking.

Simon nodded with a smile: "That's enough."

Since she misses him, she will make video calls with him every day.

Shu Shu didn't understand what Simon meant for a while, and just about to ask, her portable device rang.

At the same time, the light curtain in front of her jumped out of a window.
