Chapter 301: Medusu Zeya

"I've seen this family emblem..." Xia Ye murmured.

She stretched out her hand and stroked her fingers across the cold, smooth skin, feeling the bumps and depressions at her fingertips. This mark was different from a contract, it had ups and downs, like a brand.

"...or rather, I saw it on that summer night last year. It belongs to a family...but not a family from the archipelago. Their family's fiefdom is some distance away from the Pibriwoska Islands..."

Lillian: "Fiefdom?"

Xia Ye came back to his senses from his memories and asked, "Did I just mention the fiefdom?"

"Yes, Sister Xia Ye said, 'Their family's fiefdom is some distance away from the Pibriwoska Islands.'" Lillian repeated it again.

Xia Ye was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted: "Yes, fiefdom! They do have a fiefdom, because they are one of the knight families guarding the Bibriwoska Islands!"

"Eh? Knight Family?" Lillian found herself increasingly confused.

But Xia Ye had no time to explain. She quickly walked to the chart table, picked Tang Li up from the table, let her sit against the wall, then unfolded the chart, and started with her finger from the location of the fleet, moving in the direction of the archipelago. When she was about 20,000 nautical miles away from the archipelago, her finger stopped.

After pondering for a moment, she picked up the charcoal pencil and drew a big circle where her finger had just stopped.

Attracted by her actions, Yaha also came over.

"Is there an island here?" she asked, pointing at the circle drawn by Xia Ye.

"Yes, but I can't remember the exact location. When I was the city lord in the past, I passed by it on the way to the archipelago to attend the round table meeting, but I probably didn't stay there." Xia Ye replied.

"Then what do you mean by 'fiefdom' and 'knight family' that Sister Xia Ye just mentioned?"

"Uh...don't you know what these two words mean?"

Lillian shook her head: "I don't know, I've never seen such a statement in a movie."

Yaha: "All I know is that the one wearing armor is a knight."

Xia Ye: "…While what you said is true, someone without armor can also be a knight."

She thought about it again and quickly found a metaphor: "In short, you can understand it this way: the big family on the Bibliwoseka Islands is similar to the parent company of 'Ether Exploration', and the so-called 'Knight Family' is a subsidiary of the parent company, and the 'fiefdom' is the factory of this subsidiary. However, unlike 'Ether Exploration', the archipelago has relatively weak control over each 'subsidiary'. These subsidiaries are usually responsible for their own profits and losses. Only when encountering some particularly important projects will these subsidiaries operate in a unified manner under the command of the parent company."

Now Lillian and Yaha both understood.

"Sister Xia Ye, do you still remember that company... no, the name of that knight family?" Lillian asked again.

"Well, their name is 'Medu Suzeya', that should be the right name." Xia Ye said.

"Can the location be more specific? The sea area you circled is almost 5000 nautical miles from one end to the other," said Yaha.

"I can't do anything about it." Xia Ye spread his hands. "At that time, the archipelago sent a 'beacon', which was a contract to guide the direction. I just had to follow it and I could reach the archipelago. Therefore, even if it was the location of the archipelago, I only knew it roughly. As for the fief of the Medusu Zeya family, I can't remember the exact location."

"You are now going to look for this 'fiefdom' first, right?" Yaha asked again.

"You really know me well." Xia Ye showed a beautiful smile, "If I'm not mistaken, this person should be a knight of Medusu Zeya. Since we found her body, we should send her back. If she is an important person, we might even get a generous reward."

"Tell the truth." Yaha glared at her. Xia Ye curled her lips and said, "This person died in a very strange way. I have a bad feeling. Now the only clue is the Medusuzeya family. I feel unwilling to go there."

Yaha stared at her for a few seconds, and finally sighed: "We have to replan the route again."

"So you agree?!" Xia Ye said in surprise.

"You are the ship owner and you have the final say." Yaha picked up the charcoal pencil and wrote on the nautical chart. "I am just afraid that if I continue to play 'sailing adventure' with you, I will not be able to catch the last whale."

"Don't be so pessimistic. Haven't we already caught one?" Xia Ye said with a smile.

But strictly speaking, it should be said that one was "picked up".

Yaha didn't bother to pay attention to her and continued to plan the departure route.

A few minutes later, the Moby Dick set sail on time. The first mate successfully harvested all the whale oil before sailing, but only had time to remove a small part of the whale bones. With the roar of the ether ramjet, the slender hull broke through the sea of ​​clouds, leaving behind the wreckage of the white whale, and continued to sail westward with a long wake.

……

Tang Li still didn't wake up. Considering that she couldn't stay lying with the corpse, Xia Ye and Lillian worked together to carry her back to her room - Lillian's room. They were supposed to go to Xia Ye's room, but Lillian stopped them.

"Sister Xia Ye, can you take care of people? Can you help Sister Tang Li take a bath? Can you help her change clothes..." Lillian's series of questions shot at Xia Ye like shells from a rapid-fire cannon.

"I can……"

"No, you won't!" Lillian said, puffing her cheeks.

"Don't look at me like that." Xia Ye defended, "Tang Li and I are related by blood, like family, not like you imagine..."

"Blood relationship? What kind of relationship?"

Xia Ye thought seriously for a few seconds: "Mother and daughter?"

"ha???!!!"

In short, in the end, Tang Li lay safely on Lillian's bed.

Dinner was a stew of whale meat. Although it was not as exquisite as Lillian's usual cooking at home, it was a delicacy for the crew who could only eat fried whale steaks when they went out to sea. After dinner, every crew member who saw Lillian respectfully called her "head chef."

At night, Xia Ye and Lillian returned to the room together. This time Lillian finally failed to stop Xia Ye, and Tang Li was stripped naked by Xia Ye, and then thrown into the bathtub - only a few rooms on the entire Moby Dick had independent bathrooms, which was a privilege given to Xia Ye as the ship owner.

Unable to stop Xia Ye, Lillian had no choice but to join in. In the end, two normal people and one unconscious person took a long bath together.

The night passed.

The fleet consisting of the Moby Dick and the Brunnhill sailed westward for about 2500 nautical miles without finding any whales or encountering any accidents. The four Strike Witch formations took turns patrolling in front of the fleet and on both wings. The girls' flying skills became more and more proficient, but they also did not find any traces of moth beasts or whales.

In the morning, Tang Li finally woke up. The girl's eyes were still a little dull, as if she was not fully awake. When she saw Xia Ye, the first thing she said was:
“I saw jellyfish.”
