Chapter 381: Confusion (Part 1)

Ten days later.

The huge sun is still hanging high in the sky, and the scorching sun shines on this sea area. The blue sea water is like an endless treasure. At any time, a fish will rush out of the sea water, turn up a white star dot, then twist it and fall down with a click.

"How are you? How many fish are there?" A middle-aged man had just pulled the fishing net on an ordinary fishing boat that was half old and not new. At this time, an old man with messy hair walked out of the narrow cabin and asked.

"Father, there are more than 30 fish, two of which are quite big... Hey, strange, these two big fish look a bit strange." The middle-aged fisherman pulled the corners of his mouth, looked at the fish in his net, and then turned around and said to the old man.

"Does it look weird? Let's take a look." The old man's face was already a confused look, but when his son said this, he immediately became energetic.

He moved quickly over the debris and then walked to the middle-aged man.

The two "strange fish" in the middle-aged people's mouth were swimming in the fish bucket at this time. Their appearance was indeed a little different from other fish. The snow-white body and heads were red like blood. They looked red and white, which was very strange. No wonder the middle-aged man was surprised when he saw it. He had been following his father for ten years, but he had never seen such fish.

"Well, it's not bad. These two are the juvenile fish before the mutation of the yellow demon croaker. They are a magic fish with very delicious flesh. They are not very powerful. However, because they have the characteristics of a monster, they have a taste that ordinary fish do not have. These two fish just hatched not long ago and will not mutate within half a month. We just caught them. The price of a fish can match our income for several months, and now we can make a profit."

The old man recognized this kind of fish. As he spoke, he took out the two very fat-looking fish from the big fish bucket and placed them separately in a spacious and exquisite fish bucket.

"It's better to put them separately from other fish. The young fish before the yellow demon croaker mutation were very weak. If they were injured by other fish, they would easily die. The prices of dead fish and live fish are different, so we have to be careful."

The old man's words made the middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, fortunately, we can make more money when we caught them this time so that our mother's illness can get better soon... Those damn pirates, since they frequently appeared in this sea area, have been much less time for us to go out to sea." Thinking of the old mother who was ill at home, the middle-aged fisherman who urgently needed money showed an angry expression on her face.

"Shh! Speak quietly! Those pirates are all demons who kill without blinking. Please say less!" The old man was immediately startled and hurriedly warned his son.

"Father, now I am at the sea, not in a small fishing village. You don't have to be so scared. Can they hear our conversation now?" Seeing that my father was scared like this, the middle-aged fisherman said in a bit of resentment.

"That's right..." I felt that I was really too nervous. The old fisherman let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at the endless sea.

"Forget it, we've caught fish today, so let's go back quickly. It's not good to meet pirates later."

While assisting the middle-aged man in the boat, the old man talked about some things he had encountered before. The middle-aged man suddenly asked, "Father, have you... caught such a strange fish before?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, I did catch it. When I was young, I heard my father tell me about magic fish. I heard about these strange fish from my father. In the future, I only caught a few fish... Every time I could catch such fish, some big things would happen at sea..." Speaking of this, he seemed to notice what he said and shouldn't say, and the old man immediately closed his mouth again.

The middle-aged man spoke at this time without any scruples. He looked at the other side of the sea with some disappointment and said, "If you want to talk about major events at sea, there is nothing bigger than eliminating pirates. Some time ago, I heard that the navy of the Fifth Fleet was finally out of the sea to wipe out the pirates. As a result, after so long, the pirates were still free, but the navy disappeared. Father, what's the matter?"

"Pirates?" The old man shook his head disapprovingly. "Since the day I was sensible, the pirates on the sea existed. I have never heard of anyone who can really wipe out the pirates. They are all boring games for the nobles and men. Let's not go and think about it."

As he said that, he supported his forehead with his hand and looked into the distance. As soon as the sun shone, a large ship was moving quickly towards this side. "No! It's a pirate! Go quickly!"

But where can a small fishing boat be as fast as the pirates' warship? Soon, a warship with skeleton flags floated near the small fishing boat. The father and son on the boat were both scared and pale. They had never really had such close contact with the pirates. They usually only heard about how pirates killed and robbed people. Now they really met them face to face. The horror scenes that they had imagined rushed to their heads, making the father and son unable to speak for a while.

Fortunately, the pirates are busy with other things and seem to be unintentional to loot them. They just asked them if they had seen the navy in the nearby waters. After getting a negative answer, the pirate's warship quickly drove away. Looking at the huge warship gradually faded away, the father and son suddenly woke up and quickly left on the small fishing boat.

"These two fishermen are fine, right? Do you need to catch them and ask a few questions?" On the pirate warship that had been traveling for a distance, a pirate looked back with some concern.

"That's two ordinary fishermen. We have other things to do. We don't have time to mess with this... You don't want to eat free fish, right?" The pirate who was busy moving things suddenly understood something and gave the previous pirate a blank look. The pirate was pointed out by someone, laughed, and then stopped talking.

At this time, the warship had been wandering around the nearby field and found no trace of the navy. Then he turned the bow and headed towards the coast. Next to a small island far from the coast, the warship stopped. After waiting for a while, a small boat rowed over from the coast. There was only one person on the boat, thin and dry. As soon as the boat approached the island, the man jumped directly from the boat to the island. His agile skills were definitely not like an ordinary fisherman.

"Here." The man was looking for something near the island. Suddenly, he patted his shoulder with one hand from the back. The man was clever and turned around and opened his mouth and smiled flatteringly. "It's the first mate Kashu. This time you came to meet me?"

"Yeah." The man named Kashu was the one who scolded the crew on the pirate warship. At this time, he stood in front of the man with a cold face and urged: "What's the latest news? What information did you get from those nobles?"

"Brother Kashui, are you asking about the navy? Hey, I still haven't come back. I have been running back and forth these days, wanting to get some internal news, but I found that the people on the shore were also speculating randomly. It seems that these navy really disappeared... Could it be... Is it for the sirens to eat?" Someone who had a sudden whim screamed in surprise.

"Nothing nonsense, is there any other news?" Pirate Kashui continued to ask impatiently.

"It's gone..." After the thin man said, he looked at Kashui with some anxiety.

Pirate Kashu took out a few silver coins from his pocket and threw them on the ground. "This is for you. I'll get some useful news in the future and fool us like this, so you won't have any good results."

"Don't worry, Brother Kashui, I will try my best to collect information!" Looking at the figure walking away, the man shouted a few times, then lowered his head to pick up silver coins.

When Kashui returned to the pirate ship, the pirates who accompanied him asked about the situation of the Navy. When they learned that the Navy had indeed not returned to the coast, these people found it strange.

"They didn't really go back, nor did they contact the people on the shore?"

"No."

"Strange, then where can they go?"

"Yes, this is indeed a bit strange. Was it really taken by the Siren to the bottom of the sea?" Kashu shook his head, and then said to the others: "Go back and report to the master first."

The other pirates stopped talking nonsense, started the anchor and drove the ship. While the pirates were walking, the pirates were thinking about this matter, and they all felt that the sudden disappearance of the Fifth Fleet Navy was too strange.

The pirates felt strange, and the people on the shore were not idle either. After hearing that the Fifth Fleet Navy disappeared, more letters were exchanged between the nobles.

Private banquets held by the great nobles also started frequently.

And more people came to Panshi Town as guests.

"Let's go slowly." Old Seus, as the butler, was bent and took the guest into the car. The hostess of his family had already gone to the castle to live because it was inconvenient to see the guests.

The two noble scholar Lulun and Nick are the ones who are fully responsible for the reception of guests.

Both of them were officials of the Tetashau tribe and usually deal with more matters with other nobles, so they were familiar with receiving these visitors at this time.

The guest who had just been sent away was a representative from the business alliance. Their identity was not enough for Nick and Lulun scholars to come out to see him off, so the person responsible for sending them out was replaced by the butler, Lao Xius.

Just as the butler turned around and was about to leave, a carriage suddenly came from a distance and stopped in front of Romon's villa. Baron Rocas walked out of the car with the help of his servants on both sides.
