Chapter 23
Li He's answer was too straightforward, which made the devil Alenkes stunned.

After staying for several seconds, Alenkes looked at Li He, and confirmed with some disbelief: "Master, are we really going to get off the boat?"

"Is there a problem?" Li He asked.

"I...Naturally, there is nothing wrong...It's just...Even if that woman is a liar, taking a boat with her won't affect us, right? There's no need to get off the boat, right?"

"It doesn't really matter."

"why?"

"There are two reasons. The first, the secondary reason, if we are in the same boat with her, we might be in trouble." Li He said.

"Huh?" Alenkes turned his head, looked at the noble woman, looked at the other's weak body, and hummed with some confusion, "She can also trouble us? If she really dares to lie to us , Mess with us, I must make her look good.

My strength may not have recovered, but it is still very easy to deal with ordinary people, master, please believe me. "

"Of course I believe you, but... When I say there is trouble, it is not that she is looking for trouble, but that she will cause trouble."

"Causing trouble?"

"If I remember correctly, we have seen each other three times during the voyage in the past few days. And each time, the other party is a mother and daughter, with no servants and no male relatives."

"Indeed." The devil nodded in recollection, "But, is there anything wrong with that?"

"Aaron, this is not a safe era. It's just two noble women, one big and one small, going out. Don't you think it's too dangerous? And the other party has been watching the rear of our ship with worried eyes, a picture of fear of someone chasing us. The appearance of coming up. The specific situation will not be discussed, but there is more than half the possibility that danger is approaching. If we continue to be in the same boat as the other party, there is a high possibility that we will encounter trouble.

As for me, in the present case, for no particular reason, for no good, I do not wish to be in trouble, which might well delay our journey to Lenza.It is precisely because of this that I let Mayfair and Vier stay in Blackstone Castle instead of taking the boat with us.After all, bringing two beautiful little girls is considered an unstable factor. "

"But... Master, didn't you say that Miss Liu Feier was in the castle to let her process some objects for you, and Miss Weier supervised her."

"That's one of the secondary reasons."

"Once upon a time." The devil nodded, understood, and then asked, "What about the second reason? There are two reasons why you said not to take the same boat with that woman. What is the second reason?"

"The second reason is also the most important." Li He said as he watched the boats approaching the pier, "Next we are going to Dust Town. Dust Town is a relatively developed commercial town, and there are many things I need Things, especially the glass containers produced, I need to purchase a batch."

"That's it..." Alenkes finally understood why Li Hyuk was so forthright—the reason for getting off the boat was only a small part of the reason for the noble mother and daughter, and more of it was to buy things.

After a while, the "Captain Griffey's Daughter" slowly slowed down under the control of the sailors, and docked at the wharf of Dust Town.

The first officer on the ship came out, a tall man with a scar on his face, and announced loudly that he would temporarily stop at the pier for 10 minutes to replenish supplies, disembark passengers who arrived at their destination, and let passengers waiting at the pier board the ship .

As the chief mate finished speaking, the ship got busy, the sailors were busy carrying supplies, and the passengers went up and down along the gangway.

Li He glanced at it and said, "Let's get off the boat."

"Yes, master." Without any objection, Alenx followed Li He off the boat and entered Dust Town.

……

Afterwards, Li He stayed in Dust Town for several hours, and when it was almost dark, he finished purchasing a series of items including glass containers, and returned to the pier with Alenx.

The "Captain Griffey's Daughter" had already sailed away, and the "Grey Bell", which was a little newer, had just dropped anchor and parked nearby.

Similar to the operation of the "Captain Griffey's Daughter", the "Grey Bell" is under the command of the boatswain, with a large number of crew members carrying supplies, and passengers boarding and disembarking along the springboard.

Li He and Alenkes followed the flow of people and walked to the shore.Without waiting for Li He's order, Alenkes walked towards the boatswain who was commanding in a very sensible manner.

After a few simple exchanges, Alenkes offered three times the price of ordinary people, and the bosun immediately changed from impatient to respectful, and invited Li He and Alenkes to board the ship with a smile all over the sky. A quiet en-suite cabin was arranged.

The two settled down, and the boat set off quickly. It sailed out of Dust Town in the night, along the Green Creek River, entered the Lemon River, and headed straight north to the end of the river—a place by the sea that was completely different from what Alenkes remembered. A different Lenza.

But after driving for a while, there was a sudden exclamation outside the cabin, and people were vaguely heard shouting: "There is a sunken ship!"

"careful!"

"It's so sad..."

"How many people will die..."

Alenkes was standing in front of the window of the cabin in the suite, glanced outside, and said, "Master, take a quick look."

Li He looked towards the surface of the Lemon River outside, and saw a huge wooden boat leaning in the river.

Half of the volume sank underwater, and the remaining half ignited raging flames. The orange flames covered the rich blood on the water surface, illuminating most of the night sky.

"It's Captain Griffey's Daughter, master, you're right." Alenx looked at Li He and said in surprise, "Something really happened, it looks like it was robbed. Not only murdered, but also Burn all the boats, including the mother and daughter, none of them should survive. If we didn't change the boat, it would be really troublesome."

"En." Li He nodded lightly, didn't say much, and didn't pay much attention.

He had only been on the "Captain Griffey's Daughter" for a short time, and he had only been on board with the captain for a short time, and had no contact other than that.

The accident on the ship really couldn't affect him too much, at most it was just a little curiosity, whether it was the water thief who caused such a tragic result, or what he guessed was the person who chased and killed the noble mother and daughter.

He was about to withdraw his gaze and focus on important matters, when suddenly there was another exclamation from outside: "What is that?"

"Is it a bug?"

"A lot of bugs."

"What are these bugs doing, are they crazy..."

Li He raised his eyebrows lightly, and looked towards the burning front deck of "Captain Griffey's Daughter".

It was seen that because the ship was disconnected from the middle, a large number of parts were damaged, one part was burning, and the other part was broken into wooden boards of different sizes, floating around.

At this time, densely packed half-finger-long black bugs crawled out of the water continuously and crawled towards the floating board. Finally, the surface of the board was covered with a whole piece of black bugs, which made people feel palpitations.
