The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1266 This princess is unusual

Although Miranda has always behaved normally, if you think about it carefully, you will find something wrong.

Before Lin Tianci ran into the palace to hide from the rain, it was a pleasant surprise to hear the conversation between the two nobles and learn of the whereabouts of the fragments.

But at this moment, the pirates launched an attack, and large and small incendiary bombs were fired towards the shore from the fleet on the sea like fireballs.

Afterwards, Lin Tianci turned around and left the palace. He did waste some time in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, but it didn't delay too much. After all, he moved quickly and walked on the roof.

After leaving the city, Lin Tianci approached the town at the highest speed other than flying with Yujian.Just when the pirate ship landed, a large group of pirates rushed down from the ship.

After that, Miranda led the guards to launch a counterattack, and finally succeeded in driving the pirates back to sea.

There is nothing wrong with this process, but the timing is wrong.

Miranda came too soon.

Lin Tianci was able to rush to the port in a short time after the pirates launched an attack because of his superb agility and lightness kung fu, which is the best in the world. Even many monks in Eastern China may not have Lin Tianci in the same position. timely.

How did Miranda catch up?

Even if she immediately ordered the summoning of the guards as soon as she found out that she was under attack, it would take 10 to 30 minutes to prepare the manpower, depending on the specific situation.

After all, armor, even leather armor, is not as simple as putting on clothes. It has complicated straps to fix it on the body. Putting on and taking off armor is a big challenge for unskilled people.

What's more, there is still a not-so-short distance between the city and the town, and it takes about 10 minutes to run at full speed. After this set of procedures, Miranda will not be able to organize it until at least half an hour after the attack begins. Force strikes back.

But the truth is, after Lin Tianci dealt with several pirates, Miranda led a large group of people to appear, and she came too fast.

There is only one reason that can explain this contradiction.

She knew there was an attack.

Only by knowing when the pirates will come and attack will Miranda gather the guards to hide in the corners of the town early on, and counterattack quickly when the pirates attack.

So the question is, how did she know that the pirates would come?
Or in other words, was she the one who recruited the pirates themselves?

Having said that, what's the point of recruiting pirates to attack your own country's territory?
Although the damage is not serious, all the ships and goods in the port are gone, and the military expenses handed over to the wave guards by various countries have also flown together, and because of this, they will be criticized internationally, and the wave guards owe a lot to them They are also extremely dissatisfied with the annual budget.

The direct loss is not big, but the international loss is too big.

This is also what Lin Tianci couldn't figure out the most. He had a strong premonition that he seemed to be involved in some messy thing again.

But no matter what, whether it was a coincidence that the guards came so quickly, or a deliberate arrangement, the princess Miranda was by no means as simple as she appeared on the surface.

She is completely different from Meili. Meili belongs to the kind of real gentleman who has no city power and acts openly and frankly.

Miranda, on the other hand, looks like a gentleman, but it is very likely that she is actually black.

That's why Saili reminded Lin Tianci to pay more attention to the princess who looked fine, and don't be sold and give back the money.

What is going on with Miranda, this point cannot be determined for the time being, Lin Tianci just needs to pay more attention, the most important thing is the fragments.

This part is still a headache.

It is true that they are chasing pirates by boat now, but when the fragments are recovered, it may not be so easy for Lin Tianci to take them away.

How can I say that thing has already been given away as military expenses, and if an outsider like Lin Tianci wants it, it is definitely impossible to give it to him as a reward. It is estimated that he will have to be a gentleman again at that time.

If it doesn't work, just exchange it with other gems?
Anyway, to the locals, the value of the fragments is just a very valuable gem. Lin Tianci still has a lot of hard currency in his pocket, so the things that can be solved with money should not be a big problem.

As for a certain witch's task, it says 'Find the Holy Maiden of the Water Storm'...

It really doesn't make sense.

After boarding the ship, Lin Tianci also took the opportunity to inquire about it. The sailors had never heard of such a thing, and Miranda looked bewildered.

If these are acting skills, they are too realistic.

The locals didn't know about it, and Sally, who Lin Tianci relied on the most, also said that she had never heard of it, which made her a bit blind.

However, according to past experience, no matter how weird a certain witch's task is, as long as it sends out a task, there must be a chance to complete it. At best, it's just a matter of difficulty.

That is to say, the system will not release tasks that cannot be completed, so Lin Tianci still chooses to wait and see what happens.

Standing on the deck and blowing the wind, for several hours in a row, I couldn’t see anything worth noting except the sea level. I watched the time gradually enter the dusk, and the sunset below the western level was reflected against the orange sky. Curly white clouds hang in the sky.

Lin Tianci, who had listened to Sally Science for a long time, sighed, turned and walked to the cabin.

The three ships sent to track the pirates were not too big, and they could only be regarded as vanguard clippers among the ranks of warships, so don't think about the cabins in the cabins having any good living environment.

Lin Tianci went up the wooden stairs, facing the first room, which happened to be the bridge.

The helmsman was obviously not in the mood of wandering around like Lin Tianci, he was always staring at the sea in front of him, holding the rudder wheel to fine-tune the course, even on a slightly shaking ship, he remained motionless as if rooting under his feet.

A few observers holding binoculars were also watching everything outside nervously. Although their task was to chase the pirates, maybe the pirates would come back.

In this case, the three Clippers are afraid that they will die suddenly, so everyone's atmosphere is quite tense.

Not far behind the helmsman, there was a table fixed on the wooden floor, on which was a whole chart. Miranda was drawing on the chart with a protractor or something, as if planning a route.

From the nautical chart, the world that the locals know is exactly what Saili said, more than 90% of it is sea water, and a ring of small islands can be seen in the outermost circle. This circle is the inner area of ​​the ring. Outside is the outer ring area.

The land area is pitifully small, and it is really not easy for the locals to live.

"What's the matter, Mr. Lin?"

Perhaps because she heard footsteps, Miranda asked without raising her head.

"No, I just want to ask how far we are from those pirates"

"About 150 to [-] nautical miles, my sister's ship is closely behind the pirate fleet, and they haven't been spotted by them for the time being."

Lin Tianci didn't quite know how many kilometers a sea mile equals, but it sounded like he knew the distance must be quite far.

"Mr. Lin, you seem to be very concerned about the pirates. Do you have any problems with them?"

In fact, what Lin Tianci cared about was the fragments of the extremely blue star, but he couldn't tell Miranda that way, so he had to tell a story about his feud with pirates.

Although Lin Tianci himself was not sure how credible this kind of pure nonsense could be, but Miranda did not continue to pursue this issue, but just nodded and believed it.

"If you catch up, Mr. Lin, how many pirates can you deal with?"

"In a naval battle, a few ships shouldn't be a problem."

This sentence is still modest, after all, even Lin Tianci is not sure if something will suddenly pop up to cause a miracle, but it is a fact that he can single out several pirate ships.

As long as he can enter the visual distance, Lin Tianci can fly directly with the sword and fly over. At that time, various powerful spells will be cast from top to bottom, and the pirate fleet, which is just a wooden ship, may be dismantled in half by him casually. .

Even if the mage who was very difficult on the pier jumped out again and used the earth binding spell to prevent Lin Tianci from flying, Lin Tianci, who was riding a crimson sea carp, could launch a fatal blow to pirates like a submarine.

To put it bluntly, as long as he can catch up, Lin Tianci can put down the pirates by himself, no matter how big the scale is, he can kill seven in and seven out.

Although his cultivation base has not yet reached the level of an Earth Immortal, in terms of combat power, he is now very close to the level of an Earth Immortal, that is, he can truly be called an Immortal, which is fundamentally different from ordinary people.

Hearing Lin Tianci's modest answer, Miranda froze for a moment, probably because he didn't expect that Lin Tianci could deal with several pirate ships by himself.

I don't know whether she took Lin Tianci's words as bragging or really believed them, and continued:
"Mr. Lin is indeed a powerful mage, but you alone are not enough. While tracking, we also need to contact the countries along the way to send ships to find a way to wipe out these pirates in one fell swoop."

As she spoke, she pointed at the chart:
"So, our destination is the Garrett Federation, which is the closest and most powerful country to us. Even the security-level force is enough to deal with the Shadow Heart Pirates."

Lin Tianci can't remember the densely packed country names on the map, because the land is all small islands, and there are so many countries here.

"By the way, how did you get in touch with your sister's ship?"

They can track the pirates by boat, mainly relying on the fleet of Wave Guardians that follow the pirates to guide the way.

Miranda pointed to the corner, where there was a metal box fixed on a wooden board, which looked like a magical machine like a telegraph.

"Sometimes when the signal is good, we can communicate through magic signals, but it depends on luck."

Long-distance magic communication has always been a big problem. Since the fall of the ancient elves, no one has been able to grasp the mystery.

Sai Li was able to contact Lin Tianci because she was very powerful, and ordinary people couldn't do long-distance magic communication.

Even Sevilla can only transmit to distant places layer by layer through short-range signal transfer. The process is cumbersome and has great limitations, instead of being able to contact every corner by picking up a mobile phone like on the earth. friend.

The same is true for the plane of Lemuria. Long-distance magic communication is very unstable. Lin Tianci probably because they haven't pointed out the technology tree of synchronous orbit satellite...

"Actually, my sister and I are twins. There is telepathy between us, which is much more reliable than magical communication."

"Really?"

Lin Tianci has heard of telepathy between twins, but most of them are urban legends.

Seeing Lin Tianci's letter, Miranda smiled and said:

"Just kidding, my sister and I are indeed twins, but there is no telepathy. In fact, we are connected by carrier pigeons."

This is very scientific....
