It's a bit of a strange thing.

Considering the strength of the personnel on the [Grede] fleet.

In order not to be directly exposed to the people behind this incident, Ronald did not take drastic actions, but lowered the altitude and approached the barrier mountain near the sea.

It wasn't until they came to the bottom of the floating mountain that the pirates' ships were clearly visible.

Dozens of wooden sailing ships were moored around the [Grad] fleet, but because of the large size gap, they were not very conspicuous before.

Looking closer at this moment, there is also a feeling of stars and moons.

“……”

"It's worthy of being a [Grad] person, this hand enchantment is quite perfectly arranged."

At this time, Helo Yinsi, who was next to Ronald, sighed.

Although the pirate ship in front of them surrounded the steamer, the truth was that no one among the pirates could get on these three large ships.

Even though these guys have already acquired a lot of things in the Barrier Mountain.

But for a group of pirates who started from scratch, it was really a whimsical thing to want them to destroy the enchantment arranged by the [Grede] elite in a short period of time.

Hearing Heloyin's emotion, Ronald also immediately expressed his opinion:

"I don't think it's easy here."

"Since this kind of powerful barrier with obvious function has been arranged, it means that the people on the ship probably know that they are about to leave here. Therefore, under the premise that the ships cannot be taken care of, but they do not want this group of pirates to go up, they will choose this way of dealing with it. ”

Patricia nodded in approval of Ronald's speculation, and then offered some of her own opinions:

"According to the normal rules of going out, such an enchantment is indeed not something that can be arranged casually. In our fleet—at least with the nod of Her Highness the Princess, someone would arrange something like this. ”

In between the conversations, the three Ronald continued to get closer to the past.

Glade's finishing ship didn't seem to have been invaded by anyone, so they didn't go to investigate, but instead infiltrated the surrounding pirate ships first.

The number of people on the pirate ships was extremely small.

Greedy for the mysterious power of the Barrier Mountain, the pirates naturally climbed as much as they could, leaving only a few men to guard the ships.

For Ronald, that's a pretty good situation.

After all, pirates are greedy, but the idea that ships are the foundation of everything will not be shaken in their minds in a short time. So the men who remained on the ship were a very small number of men, but they were very trusted by the pirate leader.

There is no doubt that this is an excellent object for 'inquiry' intelligence.

When Ronald and the others touch the inside of a pirate ship, they walk to where each other is. This stinking middle-aged pirate was preparing a roast chicken in the ship's galley.

"Who...... Female, female? ”

Coming here, Ronald of course did not hide his arrival.

The pirate turned his head when he heard the footsteps, and when he saw the comer, his eyes fell on the two young girls.

He even subconsciously controlled his foul language habits:

"Lying ...... Oh my God, two ladies, you ......."

"Shut up!" It was only before the pirate spoke that Ronald covered the moment he spoke, "Stand where you are and answer our questions!" ”

Bang Bang –

The roast chicken in the pirate's hand fell to the ground, and he himself lost control of his own will.

Ronald's current words and spirits are simply handy to deal with such a target.

"How long have you been here?"

"Two weeks ago, we heard the news and followed the captain."

“……”

"When did the first pirates here?"

"More than a month, or at most two months ago."

“……”

"Did you encounter any living people on the mountain who were already here?"

"Nope. There are only cities built in the mountains and traces left by people's lives. ”

“……”

"When did these three [Grad's], these three steel ships arrive, and what happened after they arrived?"

This time Ronald's problem is more complicated.

Although the pirate still answered honestly, with his ability to express himself, it still took a lot of effort to finish speaking:

"The three ships arrived yesterday morning."

"When we found out, we immediately called someone to go to the mountains to inform the adults of the Pirate Alliance that they were ready to fight each other. As a result, when the people came down from the mountain and surrounded them in boats, we found that we couldn't break through the protective ring here. ”

"Yesterday morning......" Ronald thought as he looked down.

The time the pirate had spoken of was not much different from what he had estimated before he came.

The [Grad] fleet should have encountered no problems during the voyage, and it sailed smoothly to the foot of the barrier mountain.

As for the disappearance of all the personnel, and the process of arranging the enchantment on the ship.

That should be the time to stop here.

After clarifying the general order of development, Ronald continued to ask about the details of the matter:

"When you first found out about this fleet, was there anyone up there?"

"There are people, and they seem to be organized."

“……”

"When and how did they disappear?"

"When we gathered our team, they were all gone, and we didn't know any other details."

“……”

"Did you find anything strange when you tried to get on the boat?"

"Nothing happened."

The pirate first rejects Ronald's first question, followed by a detailed explanation of the 'odd thing':

"If it's weird—it's that the captains don't have the right attitude."

"Under normal circumstances, when encountering such an ownerless ship, they would be greedy until they gain control of the ship, but yesterday they gave up the exploration after a simple attempt for half a day."

"In the end, we were told to surround them with ships, and the captains returned to the hill with their men again."

“……”

Ronald guessed right, the pirate did know quite a bit of information.

From the discovery of the Barrier Mountain by the pirates, to the exploration of the mountain and the arrival of the [Glade] fleet, these things can be asked by the pirates to get a rough outline.

Although it is not detailed to exhaustive information.

But for an initial expedition, the results were already very rewarding.

So they disposed of the hapless pirate in the galley, and the Ronald trio followed the pirate ship to the stern.

Just look up at the moment.

The barrier mountain, which had been impressive in the [Infinite Negative Realm], seemed to have reappeared in front of Ronald.

"Whew-"

Looking at the mountain in front of him, Ronald took a deep breath before chanting the incantation again, flying upwards with Heloin and Patricia.
