"Well, that ......" Jia took a deep breath, took out a heavy book from his side, and handed it to Richard: "I think about it, I really can't stand the handouts of others, but I really need your money." Why don't you do this: I'll mortgage my book to you and lend you a gold coin. If I don't have your gold coins before I get off the ship, this book that records all the books I have written is yours, and what is in it is yours. And in case, I also give you the gold coins, you give me back the book. How?"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

"Okay. Richard was not too verbose, handed over the gold coins, and took the heavy book.

"That's it. He said earnestly to Richard, looking at the gold coin in his hand, and his eyes lit up. The next moment he turned around and ran quickly towards the restaurant below deck, his whole body showing his craving for food.

Richard wanted to remind the other party that the restaurant was not open at this time, but when he saw the other party's back, he finally shook his head and said nothing.

I opened the heavy book in my hand, looked at it briefly, and found that it was indeed a recorded anthology, which may have been kept for too long, and every page was grease stained and hard.

After a few glances like this, Richard lost interest, regardless of whether the other party wrote brilliantly or not, but he had so many things to do, that he didn't have time for this kind of entertainment.

Let's talk about it when I'm really free.

Richard thought to himself, not thinking that the other party could really redeem the book, so he threw it directly into the space iron ring and walked back to the cabin.

After returning to the cabin, after more than an hour, he finally adapted to the high-density free energy elements of the main continent, and lay down on the bed to start a real rest.

There was no word all night.

......

Richard didn't take what happened during the night to heart, and after a few days of fully adapting to the higher density of free energy elements in the main continent, he maintained his own rhythm, working and resting as usual.

And just like that, it didn't take long to reach the end of the voyage. News has already been broken that there are still five days left to reach the end of this voyage.

Many people on the ship were a little excited when they heard the news, after all, they would always be bored after staying on the ship for a long time. No one likes to be trapped in a cabin for the rest of their lives, and the vast main continent is still more desirable, but they haven't been excited for long before bad news comes in.

I don't know what the reason is, but it is speculated that the sudden change of direction in the strong sea breeze caused the main mast of the Queen Victoria to break inexplicably, so the ship's travel speed was greatly reduced and it needed to be repaired.

As a result, the voyage, which had only five days left, was delayed by one day and became six days.

After the mast was repaired, and before there was time to celebrate, the Queen Victoria had another problem, this time hitting an undocumented reef in the fairway, causing the hull to break.

The damage was not large, but for the sake of safety, the Queen Victoria, still stopped to repair it.

In this way, the voyage was again delayed by one day, and became seven days.

After a day's work, the Queen Victoria repaired her hull and set sail again, and everyone thought it was time for the doom to end, but a new trouble came to the door.

This trouble was first discovered by Richard.

......

Daytime.

The sun was high, and the Queen Victoria was heading northwest after repairing her hull.

On deck, Richard walked up after a busy day, ready to take a break. Stretching and moving a joint, Richard relaxed his eyes to the sea behind the big ship. The next moment, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, and saw two black dots suddenly appear in his field of vision.

Well?

This is?

Richard frowned slightly, looked at it carefully for a while, and quickly determined the situation of the black spot. However, there was no announcement, waiting for the rest of the people to find out. He was very confident in the strength of the Queen Victoria, and felt that the Queen Victoria could fully cope with the two black spots that caught up behind.

After a while, the rest of the passengers on deck saw the two black dots chasing behind the ship, pointed and talked about it.

When the two black dots were close, everyone could see clearly, and it was two pirate ships.

Yes, Corsair!

Two skull flags, being raised on the ship's mast, are a signal of looting and a threat: threatening the Queen Victoria to stop the ship immediately and surrender obediently, otherwise it will be brutally retaliated against if it is overtaken.

The passengers were in an uproar, after all, most of them were relatively wealthy ordinary people, and it was inevitable to be nervous when they saw the pirates, and at this time, a knight in magic clothes heard the movement and came over.

Walking to the stern, the knight in costume glanced at the pirate ship a few times, did not take it as a child's play, his expression was solemn, and ran to the captain's room at the bow of the ship.

The captain's quarters, located slightly behind the bow of the ship, above the wheelhouse, on the second floor, are the tallest buildings on board, apart from the mast and lookout.

Richard looked over and saw the knight in costume stepping on the steps, quickly walking to the cabin door and knocking on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

With a "squeak", the door opened, and a woman with red hair and medium height walked out, not beautiful, but very temperamental, which made people not easy to mess with at first glance.

The woman who came out was obviously the captain of the ship, Victoria Eliza, and looked at the knight in costume with a cold face and a little dissatisfaction.

The Knight-in-Costume quickly reported the situation, and for added convincing, pointed to the stern.

Victoria followed the direction pointed by the knight in costume and saw the pirate ship, because the pirate ship was small and fast, and it was almost behind the queen Victoria's ass at this time.

After Victoria saw it, she didn't care, and snorted coldly: "Pirates, they are hanging the most ordinary skeleton flags, and they don't even have the logo of wizarding organizations, so they seem to be very ordinary pirates." In that case, leave them alone and let them chase slowly. “

"But Captain......" the knight hesitated, "shall we do nothing?"

"Wait until they catch up, deal with it together, save you trouble. "Victoria Road.

"Yes. The knight in costume replied, understood, and turned his head to look at the two pirate ships as if he were looking at a dead man.

The pirate ship had no idea what kind of horror they wanted to plunder at this time, and it continued to accelerate. A relatively fast pirate ship managed to catch up, and while parallel to the Queen Victoria, it tried to approach the hull, and could clearly see that the deck of the pirate ship was full of pirates who were eager to try and have bloodthirsty eyes.

The Corsair and the Queen Victoria are getting closer.

Fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters, five meters!

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The pirates of the pirate ship collectively let out a strange scream, and the next moment they suddenly picked up their hooks and threw them at the deck of the Queen Victoria.
