our family is gone

Chapter 811 Pirates
The private room was shrouded in a hazy mist, but people close to the water could vaguely see it.

The two men walked in, and Amanda took off her bathrobe and hung it aside, then walked towards the bathtub.

But compared to Amanda's generous and casual look, Tamara seemed timid, wrapped in a bathrobe and watching.

"Phew, this place becomes more popular when the weather gets colder. The lord really knows how to enjoy himself~" Amanda completely ignored everything else and began talking to herself as she immersed most of her body in the warm water.

"What do you want to do?" Tamara didn't understand why she was suddenly brought to this place and came here again after taking a shower.

"What are you afraid of? It's a waste of such a good place to be so timid."

Seeing the smile on Amanda's face, Tamara took off her bathrobe and groped her way in, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Can we talk now?"

In the hazy mist, the bathtub that could accommodate four or five people was now facing two people. This situation was indeed very puzzling, especially since both parties had hatred.

"It's meaningless to dwell on those things now. In fact, if you think about it carefully, we may have had conflicts in the past, but since we separated, those are no longer important. I can't threaten your position in the organization."

Amanda finally opened her eyes a little and said, "Go back, take the carriage with you and you will have proof to hand in."

"You actually gave up the organization for Hamlet. Have you forgotten how much the organization has trained you?"

Tamara tried strangely to see through Amanda's thoughts through the mist, but unfortunately she could only hear her voice but not see her.

"Stop pretending. No one is following you here, or are you really as stupid as those idiots?"

Amanda's lazy voice came, still with that sarcastic attitude.

However, as soon as she said this, Tamara's state changed significantly. She no longer looked impatient and uneasy, but instead was as calm as a lurking poisonous snake.

The conversation between the two reveals a fact, that is, both parties are always in the eyes of others.

In other words, there was a reason why Tamara suddenly ran away from Totnes alone, which was to get rid of the organization's eyes, but there were still Roma people in Hamlet who were watching her.

"Do you know why Lance doesn't like the Roma so much? Because those guys are always so smart that they think no one can find out what they do. But who can hide such things from others?"

Amanda complained, she was the omen seeker in the organization back then, was there anything about those methods that she didn't know?
"Aren't you a Romani?"

"In his eyes, people are just people. There is no distinction between imperial people, barbarians or Roma. It's ridiculous that we care about this."

"I didn't come here to listen to you talking about this." Tamara was too lazy to discuss these topics with her. "What do you want to do by staying in Hamlet? I can't see through you."

"Don't test me anymore. I'm not that idiot Sera. I don't have an elder mother either. If I don't want to do it, I won't do it. There's no such thing as a self-torture tactic or an undercover operation."

"You know so many secrets of the organization, do you think they will let you go?"

"So our situations are the same. Do you really think they will trust you if you kill me?"

Amanda asked back, and then spoke something meaningfully.

“I thought so at the time. As long as I caught you, the traitor who stole the holy relic, I could enter their sight, but it was obvious that they abandoned me without mercy.

If we fight here, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose, or whether we live or die. As long as we fight, I will offend Lance. Do you think they are willing to bear the consequences?"

Tamara knew what she was talking about, and that was exactly why she was worried and had not come to Totnes, but she had to be tough.

"As long as I can satisfy Lance, it's fine. You are not irreplaceable."

"Hahaha! There are some things you'll never be able to compare to me." Amanda didn't feel offended or sense of crisis when she heard this. On the contrary, she laughed out loud as if she was amused. Such a slight movement caused violent ripples, like the sound of splashing water.

Tamara looked down at the ripples hitting her, her expression a little strange, but she was speechless.

“It’s not like I don’t know that you and Lance don’t have much friendship. You’ve only known him a little longer than I have. Now you have no advantage because I was the one who stayed with him when he faced difficulties, and what we’ve been through is not something you can imagine while hiding in a safe place.

So you just need to take the carriage back, so that you can report to the mission without offending Lance, and everyone can live their own lives without disturbing each other. "

There was a strong sense of confidence in Amanda's words, even arrogance, and she had the ability to do so. Tamara couldn't say anything and just made up something.

"Hamlet is not your territory, and Lance is not your man. What happens between me and him is none of your business."

"Look, you're getting anxious again." Amanda laughed and teased before continuing, "I don't care what your relationship with Lance is. What I want to tell you is that this place is called Hamlet, so keep your people in line."

After saying that, Amanda no longer hid her strength and released her aura. Tamara's expression suddenly changed and her heart sank. This guy actually became the champion!
I obtained the resources of the organization and had a clear promotion path, as well as the experience of my predecessors and the guidance of my teachers. It still took me a lot of hard work to complete the promotion, but I still had some problems.

Why are you?
"I originally thought that you could only be a master at best, but now it seems that I underestimated you, and I underestimated Lance."

Tamara's words were very simple. The way for the Omen Seeker to be promoted to the champion should be within the organization. At the stage when Amanda left, she could only be a master at best. Even with the resources provided by Hamlet, it would not be possible to advance so quickly. So she was questioning whether her promotion was dependent on external forces.

"My promotion is entirely due to my talent, my wisdom, and my hard work!"

Whatever the winner says is right, so in the face of facts, Tamara didn't even have the desire to say a few more words and just accepted it. After all, if she continued to speak, she felt like her mentality would collapse.

Being wrapped in warm water should be a very enjoyable time, but Tamara felt as if she was being boiled in a big pot and soon left.

Amanda, on the other hand, seemed very casual and didn't seem to care at all. After all, she basically won everything, and that was the confidence of a winner.

Amanda felt happy when she saw that the other party couldn't even speak. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She was better than Tamara in both strength and status.

She was more looking forward to seeing how those old guys would react after knowing the news. Would they think of today when they gave up on her?
She didn't feel it before, but as soon as she walked out of the bath, she could feel the heat dissipating quickly, making the sensation even stronger. Tamara could only shrink into her robe, and then found the guy who was following her nearby.

"Who sent you?"

"What are you talking about, young lady?"

That person seemed to know nothing, but this method made Tamara too lazy to say anything.

"It doesn't matter. Tell them that Amanda has already been promoted to champion. Who made the news so late? It's just trash!
Also, get all your people out of here, otherwise it is not up to me to decide what they do."

These two sentences made it clear that the information was wrong, the mission could not be completed, and it was not her fault. The second sentence was just a simple warning, but the words seemed to carry fire, and now she was very angry.

After saying these two sentences, he turned around and left, not caring at all whether the message could be delivered. But after watching Tamara leave, the man also turned around and no one knew what he was going to do.

Tamara walked in the cold wind, falling into confusion. It seemed that nothing had been agreed upon just now. But in fact, the core was just one sentence - no matter what she did, the organization would never fully trust her, unless Hamlet fell and the lord died.

When I fled the organization, Amanda chased me. Now it is her turn to escape, and I am the one chasing her. The identities of both parties have changed and the turning point is in Hamlet, and the key lies in that man.

Now Amanda is trapped by her Roma background, and Amanda is also trapped by Lance's recommendation. The two of them have always been at odds, but they end up in the same situation over and over again. It's really a joke.

…………

There is absolutely no fun in sailing on the sea, it can even be called boring. It is extremely hot in the summer. There is a steamer inside the cabin and a frying pan outside.

The situation in winter is not much better. It is extremely cold inside and outside. There is no fire to keep warm, so one can only rely on clothes and shiver. It is especially painful for those who are controlling the ship outside.

Fortunately, the route was correct, and after a long voyage, they finally found an island where the target shipwreck bay was located.

There were shouts from the crew and the captain's instructions coming from the front, and everyone got busy.

"It's damn cold. The fish aren't biting. Those pirates won't find a better time."

Lance put away the fishing rod and threw it aside. He listened to the chaotic sound and walked to the front deck and looked forward.

The main body is an island that looks like a rocky mountain. On the huge rocks are cracks like natural moats. However, there are also many small islands of different sizes around the big island. Some of them are connected to each other by shallows, while some are not connected.

"Captain, do you think this is easy to defend but difficult to attack?"

Lance turned to look at Wilson beside him. After all, he had to formulate an attack plan later. He didn't know much about naval warfare, so he didn't pretend to be cool.

"At that time, we didn't have so many rules for naval warfare. When we encountered pirates at sea, we would chase them and board them. As for capturing islands occupied by pirates, we would gather more navy forces to surround them and find ways to storm the beach.

Or they would find a small boat to approach at night, sneak ashore, burn the pirate ship, and then cooperate with the main force to go to the island. However, both methods made it difficult to completely wipe out the pirates. Sometimes they would scatter after a fight, and it would be difficult to chase them on the sea.

According to them, the crack leads to a very complex waterway, with several channels connecting to the outside world, and together with the scattered islands, it forms a whole.

Although we have a good grasp of the situation, the situation is complex and the restrictions are very large. I am not very optimistic. If a fight breaks out, those guys may just run away."

To put it simply, it means blocking the dock, then landing on the beach and taking action before the pirates escape. There are too many passages here to block all of them, and a fight would most likely be a mess.

While they were discussing, the boat had already approached. It didn't seem that big from a distance, but when they got closer, they found that the entrance to the cave was really big, which reminded Lance of Hamlet Bay occupied by the Deep Ones.

The cave-like topography makes the interior very complex, and after artificial modification, one can feel that the ships are indeed disturbed by turbulence after entering here. Needless to say, one knows how many ships have been destroyed in this place.

Under the human guidance of the pirates, they quickly passed through the turbulent currents and reefs.

Finally, we arrived at the area behind the narrow gap that extended like a hillside. We could see a series of wooden buildings leaning against the rock wall. Further inside, there were more buildings, which were also more exquisite. It was very lively with people coming and going, but it was filled with more chaos.

The ships do not stop randomly when they come in. There are docks for them to moor, but they have to pay a fee.

It is true that this is a place for pirates, but they follow a set of rules called the [Pirate Code], which is controlled by a coalition of several big pirates.

So there has never been any real freedom in this world; even pirates have rules.

“The real big pirates have their own forces on this island, dividing it into different areas and fighting with each other, but fighting is indeed prohibited here.

Likewise, information circulates very quickly here, and some shady transactions are mostly completed here..."

The captured pirates told everything, and everyone naturally understood some of the situation, but Wilson still warned them in the end.

"Everyone, be smart. Go in groups of four or five. Keep an eye on your stuff. Show how fierce you are. Don't show weakness or mercy. Pirates don't have that. Don't forget your mission. Go to those places..."

As for Lance, he had already gotten off the boat by himself, put on the hood, and was not noticeable under the coat.

Wilson and his team were on a mission to gather information, but Lance came here simply because he was bored doing research at home and wanted to come out and have some fun.

Most of the people coming and going here are messy pirates. The smell is only better in winter. It is hard to imagine whether it stinks as much as a beast cave in the summer.

Everyone was carrying weapons, and years of pirate life had made them very haggard, and their madness and cruelty were the truest portrayal of them.

But Lance was curious about how many roads they could build?
