For a passenger and cargo ship like the Polarstar, ten more people and two bean-like children naturally won't put any pressure on the supplies and the ship's living space, not to mention that under the witness of three active federal soldiers and magicians, Captain Planck can't make a move without heart, lungs, blood or tears. Soon, thanks to the efforts of the crew, the survivors were picked up on board.

The Polaris stayed for a few more hours, and the crew searched the ruins of the Turquoise, seemingly preparing to find more survivors. Although Lu Xi wanted to tell them that "there are no survivors", it was really not good to see the energetic appearance of the crew and passenger volunteers.

Forget it, let them continue to search, if they can find some bones, at least let the bereaved family of the deceased get some comfort.

The large dining room on the middle floor of the ship temporarily served as a shelter for the survivors, while the two children temporarily lived in the crew quarters. The crew made a room for them to come out, and cleaned it carefully, although the furnishings inside are not exquisite and gorgeous, but at least they are tidy, and the space is enough for two children to live and move. Lu Xi originally expected that the little boy born in a big family would make a fuss, so that he could use the Spartan instructor-style "slap love education method" without hesitation. It's a pity that the little boy named Tim is much more well-behaved than expected, except for the fact that he has always been a little sticky to Elle, and he is more afraid of life than a little girl, everything else is quite cute.

In addition to this, the captain had vacated the circular glass room dining room on the deck to serve as a meeting room and inquiry room for the three active Union officers.

The Turquoise is a large cargo ship called at the Canghai Shipping Association. The Chamber of Commerce owns 60 percent of the ship, and the shipowner, Eugene, owns the other 40 percent. Of course. If he is able to repay all the loans he had originally borrowed for the ship's useful life, the ownership of the ship and all the proceeds will be entirely his/her own. You only need to call a certain "management fee" every year. The shipping trade between the sky and the earth is actually very profitable, and now it is the fifteenth year that the turquoise has been put to sea, and if nothing else, the ship's owner, Eugene, will be able to pay off all the loans within five years, and officially become a big businessman with a 10,000-ton freighter.

Of course, there is only one "if" left in this qiē.

Who told you not to buy insurance? Lu wanted to say this to the shipowner, who would still be like a mourner even if he escaped, but then realized that the world did not seem to have developed an insurance business. Moreover, in such a chaotic era of frequent wars. Even if there is an insurance company, it will lose all the underwear in a short period of time, right?

It's not easy to tear a huge freighter apart in an instant. Lu Xi estimated that with his current strength, if he was not counterattacked, it would probably take three to five minutes to completely smash the turquoise, and release more than ten large-scale destruction spells. If this is the case, the goal must be not small.

To everyone's surprise, the survivors didn't know how they were attacked, even before they were attacked. Nor were any suspicious targets found. I only knew that the Turquoise was sailing normally, and suddenly a series of violent explosions were heard in the belly of the ship, and the steady hull began to tremble slightly, losing the momentum to move forward. Immediately afterward, a large number of ghost soldiers suddenly appeared inside the ship. Began to attack the passengers on board. The bodies of the slain passengers either got up and turned into zombies to attack others, or they turned into explosives again, causing even more damage to the hull.

Soon. The Turquoise's resistance was so weak that it could barely be considered that it was completely destroyed, and the ship quickly fell into a state of disintegration. It didn't last more than five minutes before and after. What's more, these remaining survivors are not even seen in the body of the attacker.

Although it is very sympathetic to being attacked. But that's too natural, isn't it?

"But I'm sure, it must be the evil undead!" The owner of the ship Eugene seemed to see the dissatisfied looks on the faces of several magicians "young ladies" who asked about him, and hurriedly said loudly: "My lords, please ask the government to make decisions for me!" This kid, this kid, uh, I mean the Turbid, but my net worth is worth my life! ”

Well, it's a ghost, it's a corpse resuscitation, it's a corpse explosion, do you still need to say it?

"Don't worry. I can't make up for your losses, so I can only rely on you to communicate with the Chamber of Commerce and your customers. But you can promise that the government will never spare the necromancer who attacked you, and will give you an account. Andreil comforted each other with a pleasant smile.

"By the way, how are those two kids, oh, Elle and Tim, on your boat? The Turquoise is supposed to be a cargo ship, right? Lu Xi asked coldly in a casual tone.

The owner of the ship Eugene hurriedly explained: "That little boy named Tim is the young master of the Ekak family, and the family of three is traveling together, oh, and two servants with him. Mr. Ekak was a wealthy merchant in Cold Harbour, and his wife, Lady Fye, the mother of Master Tim, was said to be a nobleman in Virginia. The family of three was originally going to travel to the Federation, but they were all good people with outstanding character and generous manners...... My family and I were originally very good friends, and Mr. Ekak asked me to take my ship to the Federation, no, my friend came to the door, and I really couldn't refuse, right? ”

Speaking of this, the owner of the ship wiped his eyes immediately, and seemed to really shed a lot of tears: "Hey, but I really didn't expect to encounter such a misfortune." The only thing left in the family is Master Tim, how can the child live alone......"

Lu Xi interrupted the other party expressionlessly and continued to ask, "What about the girl named Ellie?" ”

"She?" Eugene hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Xi's cold eyes that seemed to have no emotion, and couldn't help but shake an encouragement, and he didn't dare to hide it at the moment, and hurriedly said: "This, that...... Actually, Elle was a house slave given to me by a friend of Cold Harbor, uh, I think she's pretty smart. The hands and feet are also diligent, so they stay to be a maid or something. ”

"Oh? Is it really a gift? Lu Xi's tone suddenly became calm.

"It's true. I, I still have the complete contract paperwork. Absolutely, absolutely, in accordance with federal law. Trust me, my lord. Also, I didn't abuse her at all, and I just made her do chores, nothing else......"

"Oh, then why did I see a little girl who was about to freeze to death in a single dress?"

"I gave her warm clothes! And there's more than one. Must have run away when attacked, sir, sir. Please believe me, what I say is true! Eugene let out a sound that bordered on mourning. This wealthy shipping merchant, who seemed to have seen a lot of the world, was now as if his whole body had been ripped out of his bones, and he almost fell to his knees and begged for mercy. He was accustomed to the arrogance of the Federation's magical aristocracy, a group of realists who had always been neither orderly nor kind, and bullied people with no lower limit than the traditional nobles of Oakland and Virginia, so it was really effortless to frame him as a powerless ordinary businessman.

"How long has that kid been a maid for you?" Lu Xi asked in a seemingly casual tone.

"Yes, it's been a year." Eugene hurriedly said.

"Lu Xi......" Sai Xiliu looked at Lu Xi, whose expression suddenly looked very terrifying. He gently pulled the other party, and then said to the owner in a lukewarm tone: "Okay, it's too late now, you want to go back and rest." With the news. We'll let you know. ”

"Yes, thank you, thank you, Master Mage." As a veteran businessman. Some of the ability to observe words and colors naturally also exists, and of course they also know the truth of accepting when they see good. No matter what he was thinking at this point. At least he was very humble on the outside, and quickly withdrew.

Lu Xi's eyes watched until the back of the ship's owner disappeared. He thought that his eyes should be calm and stable, without any superfluous emotional components, but for some reason, the owner of the ship always looked a little wolfy. The chubby body not only walked and shivered, but when he walked out of the room, he almost hit the door before he had a head or a brain, and his steps stumbled, and finally he didn't fall to the ground.

Sai Xiliu sighed, held Lu Xi's hand, and whispered, "I know that girl reminded you of Limu, and I also dislike this kind of slave guy, but ...... This is not the right time for you to show your sense of justice! ”

"I didn't just think of Lim, I just thought that the little girl named Elle was very similar to a child I had met before, in every way...... It's all similar. Lu Xi said in a low and melancholy tone that he couldn't control. Maybe this tone was too low and depressing, Sai Xiliu suddenly showed a worried look, Lu Xi quickly calmed down, and smiled: "Besides, I didn't do anything to that guy?" Haven't you always watched him from afar with a calm and caring gaze full of silent warmth? ”

"Yes! If you care for a few more minutes, that guy will freeze to death! Sesileu said angrily.

Andrell saw that the two of them seemed to be about to enter the writing again, "pretending to be stupid and complaining" and reading it as "flirting", so she knocked on the table unceremoniously, glared at the two of them with the dissatisfaction and reproachful squad leader-style eyes, and finally turned the topic back on track, and then said to each other: "Except for those two children, the shipowner Mr. Eugene should be the last one, right?" ”

"It turned out that there were still no valuable clues at all." Sai Xiliu said helplessly: "In the end, it is only determined that the attacker must be a master of necromantic magic.

"Isn't the Federation watching for war with Henas imminent? Then it's no surprise that necromancers would infiltrate the Federation and strike at our most important food supply line. Lu Xi said: "The question of concern is why the survivors on the ship did not find the direct enemy, and where is the reason for the sudden internal explosion of the Turquoise." ”

"Hey, it's a pity that the captain and first mate are dead. Only a group of ordinary crew members remained, and that Mr. Eugene, who apparently went into hiding in the first place, and as a result, saw nothing. Sesileu said angrily.

"If it's a point-of-use blast, it's very similar to what the survivors described...... However, this is in the sky, and the ship is not filled with dirt. Andreel quickly came up with an idea, but then vetoed it at a faster pace: "Lu Xi, what do you think?" ”

"Tell the senior sister, there must be something strange, but it hasn't reached the point where it can't be explained." Lu Xi pondered for a moment, remembering the battle with the whining undead in Dark City last year, and the group of death knights who seemed to be going to blow up the city gate with fireballs.

"Then there is only one truth. That necromancer, who was on the Turquoise from the beginning! Lu Xi pushed the eyes that didn't exist on the bridge of his nose again, and said slowly: "Senior sister, isn't there anyone who hasn't asked?" Ask them to come and ask as well, and everything will be clear. (To be continued......)
