Chapter 302
"how so!"

Yvette sat down on the bed in the hotel all of a sudden, and through the open window, he could see several thick columns of smoke rising from the city.

Frederick stood by the window, frowning.

Puna stood aside, clasping her hands tightly together nervously.

An elderly priest stood in front of a bookstore leaning on a cane, pointed at the bookstore with a finger full of age spots and shouted: "Take out all the heretic poison and burn it!"

A young monk in his teens next to him asked, "What are the poisons?"

The old priest slapped him on the back of the head, widened his eyes and shouted, "Anything that is not parchment is poison!"

A group of young priests rushed into the bookstore, punched and kicked the customers away, pinned the boss to the ground, and began to remove all the books from the shelves and throw them on the ground.

Yvette's eyes were lost, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say, watching helplessly as another column of smoke rose over the city.

Someone came when there was also thick smoke in the port.

"Sister, Lulu!" Yvette jumped up when he saw the person coming.

Frederick turned his head and saw that the people who came were a lady with glasses in her twenties and a little girl in her sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a cloak for traveling.

He immediately turned his head back and carefully studied the direction of the wind.

These two were the two "brothers" he saw after falling from the waterfall.

Frederick was recognized, and the scene was silent for five seconds.

Ellie, the eldest daughter of Earl Valli, quickly adjusted her state and said seriously to Yvette: "Now you and us leave to avoid the limelight. The luggage and the boat are ready, and we will leave immediately."

Yvette asked nervously, "What happened?"

Ai Lei didn't answer, but said, "We'll talk about it on the way."

Then she walked behind Frederick, snorted slightly and said in a low voice: "Duke Wesson, my father, Count Valli, invites you to come with us to Cyclops Island for vacation."

After speaking, she stuffed a roll of parchment into Frederick's hand.

Frederick read the letter that Count Valli had written to him. He was a little surprised that what happened today might become the trigger to detonate the huge powder keg. Count Valli was afraid that he would become a huge variable and worried about the safety of his daughters, so he sent them all away.

"Okay." Frederick nodded, "I'll go with you."

Allie asked Puna a few words, and then took her sisters and Frederick to leave through the back door of the hotel, where an inconspicuous carriage had already been parked.

The carriage was very dull, and there was no talking all the way. When we arrived at the pier, we boarded an ordinary passenger and cargo ship.

When the land could no longer be seen, Ai Lei talked about what happened just now in the cabin.

To put it simply, in recent years, Yvette liked to read foreign literary works, which made her teacher, the middle-aged priest, very unhappy.

Today, Yvette's escape successfully detonated his anger, so he ordered that all foreign books in the bookstore be burned.

"How could this happen?!" Yvette exclaimed, "I want to go back, just apologize to the teacher."

"Useless." ×2
Frederick and Allie spoke in unison.

Lulu, the youngest of the three sisters, pouted and asked Frederick, "Why didn't it work? It used to be fine."

She also seemed to recognize Frederick, but she never looked directly at him along the way.

Frederick said to her seriously: "This is not a contradiction between two people, but a contradiction between two ideas. If this contradiction does not break out today, it will break out in the near future."

Lulu was a little dissatisfied and said, "Hmph, it's as long as those old men."

At this moment, Ai Lei said to the younger sister very seriously: "Lu Lu, he is right."

Lulu pouted and stopped talking.

Alley turned her head and asked Frederick, "I don't know what your opinion is about what happened today?"

In the background of Lulu's soft "ask him why", Frederick replied: "I think that to solve political problems, we need to start with economics first, so that we can find the root of the problem."

As the eldest daughter, Ai Lei was raised as the heir of the family, and her expression suddenly became more serious, as if she had grasped a glimmer of light in her heart that she had faintly felt before but could not grasp.

Yvette is still nervous and self-blaming, all the voices come in one ear and out the other.

As for the youngest Lulu, she seems to be insulated from all things related to politics.

Just as Ailei was about to continue asking for advice, it was the captain who knocked on the door of the cabin in a panic.

There are many undeveloped estuaries, bays and woods on the south coast of the Inland Sea that can hide ships, and this place has become a shelter for pirates.

The biggest pirate in this sea area is Hayreddin, as long as he pays the protection fee every year and hangs the flag, he will not be robbed by them.

But some small pirate gangs don't have this kind of style. They sometimes run serious transportation, and when they meet a suitable target, they will make a vote.

Now a large ship is eyeing Earl Valli's small medium-sized ship, approaching with ill intentions.

The three ladies of the Valli family rushed out of the cabin, and Frederick also went out to check the situation.

Frederick borrowed a telescope to look at the opposite boat, and he could see that the side of the boat was full of people holding swords, and some people were putting javelins on the bed crossbow.

Hayreddin told him about the way pirates fight. When the opponent's ship approaches, the javelins with ropes and barbs will be shot at the sails of the opposite ship, and the light weight people will slide along the rope.

He looked at the deck again, Ai Lei was arranging some kind of magic enhancement array, and Yvette was standing in the middle.

Frederick studied with great interest a golden butterfly manipulated by Allie. When it was flying on the deck, its wings sprinkled a large number of golden light spots, and a magic circle was formed after a while.

Yvette stood in the center of the magic circle, waiting for the captain to confirm the other party's intention.

When the semaphore of "Leave the woman" was played on the opposite side, Yvette began to cast spells, and the golden magic circle on the deck lit up, and the abundant water elements all around quickly gathered here.

These water elements were quickly converted into earth elements in the golden magic circle, and Yvette directed them to condense into watermelon-sized soil balls high in the air.

The pirate ship became panicked in an instant and began to turn and run away.

But Yvette didn't give them a chance. Dozens of soil balls flew towards the pirate ship [-] meters away at high speed, and finally hit the stern of the ship because of the opponent's turning.

This was enough, and soon the stern of the pirate ship began to sink, and the pirates on board jumped out of the ship with all kinds of things that could float.

It is not very far from the land of the Southern Continent, and the north wind is blowing, even if it floats, it can reach the shore, if there are no sharks or the like.

The captain on Earl Valli's side ordered some chickens to be found from the galley, cut their throats overboard and threw them into the sea, before running away with full sail.
