"Your Excellency is back!" When the crew of the ship saw Raphael's figure, they rushed to tell each other, and everyone came to the deck to welcome Raphael's return. The ship's sailor's room has been modified in Port Ibrahim these days, and the hammocks in it have been replaced with iron beds, which are covered with comfortable cotton fabrics, which has the advantage of improving the comfort of the sailors' room, and there is no need to worry about rolling off the hammock at night due to the strong waves. For this reason, the crew stayed on the ship, because inns do not necessarily have such a comfortable place to sleep.

Although Raphael disappeared for a few days, everyone seemed very calm, and the crew recruited from Perkin Port may not know much about it, but the earlier batch of personnel were even old subordinates who had seen Raphael's abilities.

After a brief review of the crowd, he let them go about their business, although the ship docked. However, their work is not so quick to be idle, whether it is moving goods, purchasing, listening to information, weapons maintenance, ship maintenance, in short, they have to be busy for the next voyage.

Listened to the reports of Fitztier, Avani, and Van Lentien, who was the captain recruited by Raphael in Perkin Harbor, with good ability and strong execution. At Raphael's eye, his appearance was not as well-groomed as that of an orthodox seafarer, but rather a little scruffy, with a few strands of long hair falling on his forehead, giving him the feeling of a prodigal son. Or maybe he's more suited to be the captain of a pirate ship!

"Not bad." After listening to their report, Raphael praised the three of them for the ship after carrying him, and their good cooperation now will become the keel of the ship after he leaves. So seeing the more tacit run-in between them, Raphael seemed very satisfied.

"Now I need you to restrain the behavior of the crew and allow them to go out and have fun, but in company, and not too much alcohol. It's best not to be too far away from the boats, and Port Ibrahim shouldn't be too calm lately. Raphael said to the three of them, the explosion at the naval base was a good example of this problem, and Raphael had to be careful not to get himself involved in such a senseless struggle.

"Yes, sir." The three of them bowed in response. Swinging the three of them away, little Lori jumped to the side, got into Raphael's arm, and sat on his lap. "Hey, brother. Recently I learned two more spells, one is fireball and the other is an arcane missile. I used these two spells to scare the crew of the ship, but luckily I had to do it in a wide area when I did what Sister Adrien said, otherwise I might have broken the ship! Little Lori still looked like she had palpitations when she spoke.

"Really? It seems that my elementary school apprenticeship is really getting better and better. Raphael gently hooked Lori's nose, "So, I have a gift for you too." Raphael said, and took out from the storage ring a long dress taken from the temple, this dress was not woven of any cotton material, it was made of pale blue water, and the corners of the skirt were embellished with jewels, which looked very beautiful.

When little Lori saw this long dress, her eyes immediately lit up. Sure enough, girls always have a great interest in beautiful things. "It's so pretty, brother. Did you really give this dress to Josephine? Little Lori happily looked at Raphael and said in a longing tone.

"Of course, do I look like the kind of person whose words don't count? If you say you want to, of course you want to give it to you. Raphael was amused by this question, and the little girl still knew how to welcome and refuse.

"Yay! That's great! Little Lori kissed Raphael on the cheek, then took the dress and happily ran back to the room to change it. After a while, little Lori ran back and spun around in front of Raphael several times, and after getting Raphael's praise, the little blushing and playing with the little fox.

"Oh, yes. Josephine, did you buy magic supplies last time? Raphael remembered that he was pulled away by the temple personnel in the middle of his visit last time, and Raphael, who sensed that there was a crisis in Port Ibrahim, also planned to buy some magic materials, and low-level magic materials were always consumed quickly. And now that Josephine is also able to perform magic, it is necessary to prepare some magic materials for her, a magician who only knows how to specialize in magic has limited achievements, and only by dabbling in many ways can he make up for his own shortcomings.

"No, after my brother left last time, Josephine also came back." Little Lori said a little crampedly.

didn't exceed his expectations, and touched little Lori's head, "It's okay, it just so happens that my brother is going to buy some things, let's go together." ”

"Well, I'll go and change this outfit first." Little Lori was very happy and ran away again.

……

That night, the three of them returned to the ship. The little guy returned to the 'World Rippers' after returning to the Recon Ship himself, digesting the power he had gained this time.

Outside the window,A small bat fluttered its wings and flew into it to transform into a human form to report the information he obtained,Little Lori was not afraid of the appearance of this bloodline,On the contrary, she looked at him with some curiosity,Also listened to the report of this bloodline。

"Pirates?" Raphael tapped his index finger lightly on his desk, pondering in his mind whether he should tell the information or not.

"What is my brother thinking?" Little Lori leaned over and looked at him with big bright eyes.

"Think about whether you should tell someone else what you just said." Raphael didn't shy away from saying it directly.

Little Lori said in a very serious tone, "I don't think I need to tell anyone. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Why? Raphael looked at Lori with interest, wondering what could be the reason for her.

"My father once told my brother that when we don't know who we are, we should quietly watch the situation change when we take the initiative. Because when we are in this situation, we will become important people in the eyes of others, and those people will try to slap us in every possible way, and then we will be able to see which side is more profitable and choose which side to help. Little Lori's serious expression makes people want to pinch her fleshy little cheeks, recently because of the nutrition to keep up, little Lori has gained a lot of weight, but this is more in line with the health of this young man.

Only then did I remember that Viscount Heslett started as a businessman, and this way of thinking is very in line with the idea of profit-seeking by businessmen, but what Little Lori said is not unreasonable. Now I am also a force that can influence the situation of the war, if I openly support one side, I will definitely be able to improve the odds of victory for that side, and reap the benefits of the fisherman? It's not something you can't do.

The improvement of strength is the improvement of personal confidence! And he is also backed by the Temple of the God of Battle and the Temple of the Goddess of Strategy, so it's a big deal to support the temple when the time comes, and complete it to make yourself invincible!

Thinking so, Raphael showed a smile and hooked the nose of the little Lori. Praised, "My Josephine is so clever! ”

……

Three days have passed, and the pattern of Port Ibrahim has obviously changed under the detection of the bloodlines. Some aristocrats and merchants became active at this point in time. And, one bad news after another came from the sea, several merchant ships were looted at sea today, another caravan was captured, or fishermen who went out to sea were captured.

The usual crises seem to have erupted at this moment, making the whole of Port Ibrahim panic. Those nobles who are usually inefficient in their work have found the source of the whole thing faster than the Blood Navy, and they found that it was a group of pirates who had fallen here to cause chaos, but because these pirates were equipped with large warships, they did not dare to act rashly.

Naturally, this information also entered the naval base, but this time everyone did not dare to act rashly.

"This is Poison Dragon Island, which I visited when I first drew the charts of the vicinity. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, with high cliffs on three sides, and only one beach to land on. Lieutenant General Ramirez looked at the charts on the table and said with determination. There had been a suggestion to build a naval post again, but it was abandoned due to the remoteness of Port Ibrahim and the presence of several Sea tribes nearby. So Lieutenant General Ramirez remembers this place vividly.

"Why do those pirates dare to plant their base over there? Aren't you afraid that we will attack and take it down in one fell swoop? "A Navy Colonel looked puzzled. ' There are high cliffs on three sides, and there is only one beach where you can land. This geographical condition seems to be excellent, but there is a big drawback, which is that if someone enters from the beach, they will have little chance of escaping!

"Since these pirates feel that they have planted their camp in this location, they must have something to rely on, and there may be big problems with rash encirclement and suppression!" Although Major General Silvest is arrogant, when it comes to related issues, his face is also very serious, and Major General Silvester will definitely not be a mediocre person who can sit in this position! There may be some character flaws, but ability can be affirmed.

"It's just that those nobles and merchants in the city come to my city lord's mansion every day because of this matter and ask me to administer justice, and I really have no solution. And these pirates are indeed too rampant, and the days of looting have made the residents of Port Ibrahim feel uneasy. For this reason, even the temple came to remind me that if things are allowed to continue like this, there is a high risk of disaster! ”

The city lord of Bradley took a white cloth to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and the whole person also looked a little anxious. Port Ibrahim is also such a navy as the Blood Navy, and the others are frigates under the Chamber of Commerce, which are completely incomparable to the regular navy, so the Lord of Bradley City will come directly to the naval base to discuss related matters, if the Blood Navy can't give him an answer, then he plans to stay here.

The city lord of Bradley knew very well that when he was returning to the city lord's mansion at this moment, he would definitely be asked by a bunch of nobles and businessmen to ask how to solve this matter. Rather than that, it is better to settle down in peace at the naval base!

"It always feels like this is a conspiracy against us!" Lieutenant General Ramirez smelled of conspiracy from it, and it all seemed too much of a coincidence. When the Blood Navy suffers losses, there is a problem in Port Ibrahim, as if it were a trap set up for them, just waiting for them to stupidly jump in!

Vice Admiral Ramirez's words made everyone present frown, yes, everything happened one after another when there was a problem with the Blood Navy, and the smell of conspiracy was indeed very strong. It's just that everyone knows very well that even if this is really a trap set by someone with a heart, they have to jump into it!

Because this trap of the opponent is set in a place where they have to trigger, and that is Port Ibrahim. The purpose of their blood navy's existence here is naturally to defend the coastline of the Ottore Empire, and Port Ibrahim is their station, can they still sit idly by?

"Send some reconnaissance ships out to investigate the information, even if we know that this is a trap set by the other party, we can only touch this mechanism carefully!"

Vice Admiral Ramirez's words were supported by everyone, and the crisis of the Blood Navy at this moment made everyone have no intention of continuing to argue, if the Blood Navy was disarmed because of this, what was the point of them continuing to quarrel? Everyone understood this truth very well in their hearts, so they went down one after another to organize the elite personnel under their command to go to Poison Dragon Island to investigate.

"Bradley, I still need you to go back and deal with those nobles and merchants, as for the people, you said that the Blood Navy has sent warships to deal with it, and I think it can calm the people's uneasiness to a great extent. I will also arrange more patrol ships to patrol the position of the open sea to protect the safety of the boat! Lieutenant General Ramirez said in a loud voice to the Bradley City Lord who was left behind.

"Ramirez, how dangerous do you think the crisis in Port Ibrahim is?" The city lord of Bradley looked at this old fellow who had been friends with him for decades, and asked directly without any fumes.

Lieutenant General Ramirez listened to the Bradley City Lord's inquiry and shook his head gently, "It's hard to say, but I'm sure the mastermind behind this time must have been planning for this for a long time." Those nobles and merchants must be puppets who have been pushed to the foreground by someone with a heart, they just want to push us to Poison Dragon Island faster! It can only be said that Poison Dragon Island must have been set up with many traps. As he spoke, he drew a circle of the long pole in his hand on the chart, which was the location of Poison Dragon Island.

"By the way, remember the young man who came with the Auswid Sacrifice last time?" Lieutenant General Ramirez looked at Lord Bradley with blazing eyes.

"I remember, I was curious about who this young man was, and I wanted to investigate. Just forgot about it afterwards, what? Suddenly mentioning this young man, do you think he is behind the scenes? Lord Bradley thought for a moment and nodded.

"No, he's a sixth-order magician!"
