It didn't take long for Xi Ning to feel that she was put down, the water was shaking, and the black cloth covering it was wetted.
Among the people who brought him back, someone lifted the black cloth covering the pool, looked at him up and down, seeing his eyes with obvious surprise and greed, and reaching out to dive into the water to touch him. Fish tail.
They ransacked the Federation spaceship, and all the things and people in it became trophies, including Xi Ning, of course.
Before I set off, I was talking about using this little palace in exchange for a ransom, but the boss was moody, turning his face faster than turning a book, no one was sure whether he was willing to negotiate with the Federation, and they searched it back on the spaceship today. There are also a lot of supplies.
The boss is never close to beauty. If this highness stays with them, he won't be the ones who are under these hands...
The companion next to him stretched out his hand to stop him, kicked him and cursed: "You pervert, didn't you hear what Langdon said? This is the Royal Highness of the Sea Clan! Can you think about it?"
The pirate retracted his hand and said stiffly: "I'll just touch it, just one!"
"Not at all," the companion looked cold, and pulled his collar to make him get up, "I don't know you yet? This time it is incomparable with the people who have robbed in the past. I advise you not to do anything prematurely. idea."
After he finished talking, he re-covered the black cloth, yelling for everyone to go out: "There are still a lot of things over there, hurry up to pack up and retreat as soon as possible."
Several pirates walked out one after another. Xi Ning heard the sound of the lock on the door, and then the whole room fell silent. Occasionally, he could hear the sound of walking and talking not far away.
He stayed for a while, stretched out his hand to pull the black cloth away, and sat up on the edge of the pool to look around.
There was accumulated dust everywhere, and a few broken chairs and tables were thrown in the corners, which should be used as a temporary locker for him.
He is now in the territory of interstellar pirates, and he has become a mermaid without the power of a chicken. He has no legs and can't even leave this pool.
The current situation is not good, he still doesn't know what role Song Zhou is in this world, and he doesn't know what task he is going to do.
Xi Ning hasn't fully adapted to the feeling of losing his legs. This tail is useless except for its beauty. He gently swings his tail fin, leaning against the edge of the pool and asking the system: "Did you find it?"
"I found it," the system's tone sounded calmer than before. It said to Xi Ning: "According to the plot line of the original book, these interstellar pirates will demand a ransom from the Federation. About two months later, The host will arrive in the Federation safe and sound."
As important hostages, the pirates would not do anything to Xi Ning, but Xi Ning estimated that these two months would not be too comfortable. You can see how thick the dust in this room is.
Xi Ning sighed, "Two months... so long."
The system also briefly talked about the situation in the world by the way. Xi Ning's identity this time was His Royal Highness Cyril of the Sea Clan. He went to the Federation to marry the second son of the President of the Federation.
The original book is a novel with an interstellar background. Xi Ning's marriage partner is the protagonist attack, and the protagonist Sui is a minister of the orc tribe.
At this point in the book, the relationship between the Orcs and the Star Federation is incompatible, and the road of love between the two protagonists is relatively bumpy. In the original book, Xi Ning is just a supporting actor who has not played much time in the original book. His Royal Highness fell in love with him after becoming the protagonist’s fiancee. Even though the protagonist didn’t feel a bit about him, Cyril died to save him before he really married the protagonist. So far there is nothing. Drama.
And the bug in this world is that Cyril’s data is inexplicably disordered, and the normal plot line cannot be carried out. Xi Ning needs to replace him to complete all the plots of this character.
"Wait, what do you mean is that I will have to die for the protagonist in the end in order to complete the task?"
The world didn’t need to do this in the past. Xi Ning distrusted the central system very much: "My body is dead, will it cause me any harm, right?"
"No, don't worry, the host," the system assured him, "After the final plot point is completed, the host will return directly to the void and proceed to the next world."
Xi Ning was relieved when he heard the words, turned over and asked the one thing that he cared most: "What about Song Zhou? Do you know where he is?"
In the previous three worlds, Song Zhou’s role identities were not fixed. The only thing in common was that they looked exactly the same. Before seeing him, the system could not guarantee it. How could it be: "If you want to take all the roles of the database It will take a long, long time if you pull it out and compare it..."
"Forget it," Xi Ning lay back in the water, the ceiling in his sight swayed slightly with the waves, "take one step as one step."
Presumably based on previous experience, and Xi Ning's intuition, he felt that Song Zhou would not be too far away from him, either on this interstellar pirate spacecraft or by the side of the Federal President.
If it really doesn't work, after he left here and returned to the Federation, he asked someone to paint a portrait and look around. At any rate, he was the Royal Highness of the Sea Clan, and he should still have this right.
Speaking of which, the Sea Clan can also be regarded as an Orc Clan, but the two sides live in different regions and habits, and they usually live their own lives.
In order to fight against the orcs, the Federation wanted to win over the sea clan, marriage was only the first step.
"The host can freely switch between the animal form and the human form, but because the host is about to reach adulthood, the hormones in the body are unstable," the system said. "After a while, the host should be able to walk normally."
Xi Ning replied absently, the system vaguely sensed his emotions, and tentatively said, "Don't worry about the host, Song Zhou will definitely appear."
In fact, it didn't understand that before the two moved to the world, they were so tired of staying for so long, and then they missed it after not seeing each other for a long time.
Xi Ning moved his tail fin in response, turning over and lying on his side at the bottom of the pool.
His body is very magical. There is no discomfort when his skin and hair are immersed in water, and he doesn't feel cold. As soon as he leaves the water, he immediately becomes dry. The same is true for his coat, which should also be made of special materials.
The silver hair was thicker to the touch than ordinary people, but it was very soft, floating slowly in the water as if it could breathe.
Xi Ning also felt a few thin marks on the skin on both sides of his jaw, and the system explained that it was the organ he used to breathe in the water.
Except for the first world, his later identities were unusual. He grew up with dragon horns, drank blood, and now he has become a mermaid.
Xi Ning stretched out her hand to touch the scales on her fish's tail, gently lifted a piece with her fingernail, and immediately let go when she felt the pain.
At this time, there was a short roar outside, and the spacecraft shook for a while, and quickly stabilized. The group of interstellar pirates left the star field with all their spoils.
I don't know how long it has passed, Xi Ning has always heard the sound of many people talking and walking outside from a distance, but the door of the utility room where he is staying has not been opened, as if it has been forgotten.
He felt hungry, but there was nothing here, and he couldn't make a sound. He could only stare at the lamp on the ceiling in a daze.
"I'm not going to starve to death here," Xi Ning said weakly to the system, "Aren't they going to use me in exchange for ransom? Why don't they seem to care at all."
The system comforted: "Host don't worry..."
Before he could say anything, the door opened from the outside.
Xi Ning quickly lay in the water, but before he could cover it with a black cloth, Langdon walked in with a small plate of food and looked at Xi Ning with interest: "Your Majesty, are you hungry?"
It was the pirate who found Xi Ning with the red-haired woman and arranged for someone to carry him back. Langdon raised the plate to the top of the pool and waited patiently until Xi Ning slowly surfaced and reached for the plate.
After Xi Ning took it and didn't eat it right away, Langdon urged, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous. We won't let you die."
They were counting the supplies along the way, Xi Ning was left in this corner for a while and no one took care of him, or he suddenly remembered that there was such a cash cow on the spaceship, so he asked.
Louis did not lift his head when he heard the words, and took a plate and threw it to him: "Go."
Langdon has a deep understanding of his boss's temperament. His word means: "Don't let him starve to death."
So he took some food in his hand and brought it to Xi Ning.
Xi Ning hesitated for a moment, picked up a biscuit with his hand, and took a bite.
Seeing that he was willing to eat, Langdon knelt down and propped his head to look at him, trying to talk to him, "Yes... Your Royal Highness? Cyril? You look at such a young age, the Sea Clan's Majesty is willing to send you to the marriage?"
"Your fish tail is so beautiful. Don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else," Langdon asked curiously. "Can't this fish tail turn into a leg? Isn't it uncomfortable to stay in the water every day? But you are a mermaid. Can't it?"
He asked several questions in a row, Xi Ning silently lowered his head and ate the biscuits without saying a word.
"Forget it, you can eat it yourself." Langdon quickly felt meaningless, tugged at the corner of his mouth and left the room, and locked the door again.
After Xi Ning finished eating, he put the plate on the ground next to the sink, feeling a little better in his stomach.
If these two months were to be spent like this, he would barely accept it, at least no one would bother him.
Xi Ning lay down in the pool and closed his eyes to sleep for a while. After an unknown period of time, Langdon brought people in again.
"Move to the front hall quickly, don't spill the water!" Langdon grinned, "Our boss wants to see you."
The black cloth once again covered Xi Ning's vision, and in the slight shaking, he was taken to another unknown place.
At this time, there were many people kneeling in the front hall, all wearing clothes with federal signs. Seeing that the pool was covered with black cloth to resist coming in, an older middle-aged man tremblingly pointed at the one sitting in the middle. Louis angrily said: "You damn pirate, don't you soon send your Highness back to the Federation, otherwise the President..."
Louis was playing with a dagger in his hand, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes: "It's so noisy, throw it out."
Someone on both sides immediately stepped forward and blocked the middle-aged man's mouth, dragged him to a rear hatch, closed it in, and popped directly out of the spacecraft.
What he said was throwing it out. The other prisoners were all trembling in their eyes, and they didn't dare to get out of the air.
Xi Ning could not see anything, but could only listen to the surrounding movement. He was stunned for a moment when Louis was speaking. How could this voice sound like Song Zhou
The system also heard it, but Xi Ning's vision was blinded, and he couldn't see it either. He could only speculate: "The sound is similar and cannot be 100% confirmed to be the person, but there is probably a probability of 60 or more."
Xi Ning wanted to stretch out his hand to pull the black cloth and take a look, but when the person just put him down, even the edge of the black cloth was pressed under the pool. He pulled it twice, and he didn't dare to make too much noise.
The speaker should not have a low status among the pirates. It is very likely that they are their boss. If it is really Song Zhou, I don’t know if he has any memory in this world...
The red-haired woman standing next to Louis took a step forward and said coldly: "Be honest, since you have come in, it is impossible to leave this ship alive, let you do whatever you want, otherwise... ."
They have killed the guards and others on the Federal spacecraft, and selected a few servants and maintenance engineers who are not capable of fighting to stay, barely able to serve as a labor force.
The kneeling people did not dare to show up. Among them was a good-looking maid who quietly glanced at Louis who was sitting in front of him, gathered the courage to step forward and knelt at his feet, lowering his eyebrows and saying, "I, My name is Leah and I am willing to stay here and stay by your side..."
On the way she was brought here, many pirates stared at her, with obvious intentions. Faced with these fierce pirates, she had already foreseen her future, and she didn’t want to die. If she could become this pirate The chief woman...
Louis bends down when he hears this, picks up her chin with the tip of the dagger, and says with a faint smile: "Leah? She looks pretty good..."
Leah smiled shyly, before he had time to speak, Louis raised his head and shouted, "Fat Di?"
A fat man with an ugly face walked out of the crowd and replied excitedly: "Boss, I'm here!"
Louis leaned back in the chair and threw the dagger casually: "Take it back, she is yours."
Leah's face changed suddenly, and she said in a panic: "No..."
The man called Fat Di easily pinched the back of her neck with one hand and lifted her up, confined in his arms and dragged back, while covering her mouth: "Hush, you are too noisy."
The remaining people were quickly assigned their posts, and they were taken away from the front hall one after another. In the end, only the pool covered with black cloth was left aside.
Louis lifted his chin: "Is this His Royal Highness?"
When Xi Ning heard him mention himself, her heart suddenly became nervous, expecting him to let people lift the black cloth, so that he could confirm whether he was Song Zhou.
Langdon replied from the side: "Yes, boss."
"Have you contacted anyone from the Federation? What's the price?" Louis took a sip from the teacup at the table, raised one leg and stepped on the edge of the chair. Sell it for fifty million, right?"
Langdon's face froze, and he lowered his head and said, "Um... the federal communications are encrypted, but I haven't been able to contact..."
The only blame is that they did so well when they attacked the Federal spacecraft. The distress message sent was directly intercepted by them. Now the Federation does not know that His Royal Highness Cyril was hijacked. If they want to contact each other, they must first Crack the communication password...
The smile from the corner of Louis's mouth gradually faded, and Langdon knelt down and hugged his head: "Boss, I was wrong. Give me three more days... No two... One day! I will definitely negotiate a good price with them!"
"All right," Louis was in a good mood after successfully looting the Federation spaceship, and stood up to leave, "Give you another chance."
Hearing that he seemed to be leaving, Xi Ning suddenly became anxious, raised his hand and knocked on the wall of the pool, trying to attract his attention.
Louis paused, then tilted his head to look over: "What sound?"
The pool covered by the black cloth rang again several times, and he slowly walked closer and looked at it for a moment, then squatted down and stretched out the black cloth.
His sight suddenly brightened, Xi Ning squinted his eyes, and he saw a familiar face, it was really him.
With surprise and excitement, he grabbed the edge of the pool and leaned out of the water, staring at Louis.
There were still many subordinates around. After seeing Xi Ning’s face, the expressions were different. Someone whispered to the people beside him: "Does the Sea Clan look like this? Why don’t we go to the Sea Clan’s site another day to stroll around..."
Xi Ning asked the system: "What is his name?"
"Louis, the leader of interstellar pirates, is a supporting role in the original book." The system quickly replied, "Oh, his identity in this world is not simple..."
This was the first time Louis saw a creature like a mermaid. Before he could see clearly after lifting the black cloth, Xi Ning emerged from the water, accompanied by a splash of water on his side.
The two were very close, and Louis slowly looked at the little mermaid from beginning to end, from the delicate face and silver hair tips to the shiny fish tail.
Seeing that he had no memory, Xi Ning was a little disappointed and stretched out his fingertips to grab his cuffs, and opened his mouth to spit out a word: "Lu..."
Langdon yelled at this moment: "Huh? He actually came out?"
His voice just covered Xi Ning's, Louis frowned, looked away from Xi Ning's fishtail, and stood up.
Langdon stepped forward and squatted down, reaching out to touch Xi Ning's finger, Xi Ning quickly retracted.
He narrowed his mouth and asked: "What's the matter with your highness, something is wrong?"
Now that Xi Ning was brought back, Langdon hadn't seen him react too much, and he didn't say anything like a dumb.
Louis was still aside, Xi Ning looked at him, and opened his mouth not knowing what to say.
Langdon scratched his head and looked at Louis: "Boss, look at him... Is he dumb?"
Louis looked cold and twitched his mouth: "Send a dumb man to the marriage? The president is not angry."
He turned to leave, Xi Ning quickly reached out and grabbed his pants.
Seeing this, the woman in red at the back quickly walked over and kicked at the pool: "If you have anything to say, hurry up!"
The pool shook, Xi Ning withdrew his hands in fright.
Langdon stopped the red-haired woman and took a step back: "What are you doing, Vera? What are you doing so fiercely?"
The woman named Vera looked at Xi Ning with colder eyes. When Louis stared at the mermaid, she noticed something wrong. He even dared to reach out and touch Louis. Vera stood with her arms around her and stood aside: "Who knows What horrible idea is he making."
Louis did not leave. He looked at Xi Ning condescendingly, and raised his eyebrows: "What does your Highness want to say? Could it be that he is not satisfied with the value of 50 million?"
There were a few laughs around, Langdon also laughed a few times, then knelt down again and said, "Hey, can't you really be a dumb?"
Xi Ning looked at him silently, his stomach suddenly made a slight noise.
His expression was a little embarrassed. From the top to the present, he only ate a few biscuits that Langdon gave him, and he was already hungry.
Langdon heard the voice with a look of sudden realization: "So you want to eat?"
"Didn't you give him food?" Louis glanced at him. "You starve my fifty million to death?"
Langdon coughed lightly, "I was negligent. I thought that fish eat very little."
Louis walked to the side table, took a small butter cake himself, and squatted down by the pool: "Want to eat?"
Xi Ning's eyes showed expectation, looked at Louis and the cake in his hand, slowly reaching out to take it.
Vera's face was even worse, and he took out a small tube from his pocket, only the thickness of his finger, and pressed the switch against the cake.
There was no ammunition in this special gun, and a ball of air popped accurately on Louis's thumb. With his hand tilted, the plate with the cake fell into two pieces on the ground.
In the eyes of others, it was like Louis deliberately knocking over the plate, and the arc of Xi Ning's mouth was slowly pressed down, revealing a little aggrieved look.
The surrounding subordinates thought that Louis was deliberate, and the laughter was louder than before. Louis's face became stiff, and he got up and looked at Vera coldly.
Vera was originally facing the edge of the plate, but she didn't expect it to be a little bit crooked, she came into contact with Louis's gaze, panic, and because of the crowd around him pretending to be calm.
Louis did not show her face, and said gloomily: "Get out."
He suddenly became angry at Vera, and his subordinates suddenly stopped. They didn't know what happened, and Xi Ning was even more unsure.
Vera squeezed her palms, bowed her head and said, "Yes."
She walked out of the front hall quickly, Louis turned her head and looked at Xi Ning and the cake on the floor, feeling inexplicably irritable, and raised his foot and walked out.
Seeing him leaving, several pirates couldn't bear it long ago, and they approached the pool one after another, wanting to take a closer look at Xi Ning.
"You said he is underwater, can he breathe?"
"If these scales are sold, one piece will be worth a lot of money..."
Suddenly Louie's voice came from the door: "What are you still doing here? Get out of here."
Everyone shut their mouths and hurriedly left. Langdon shouted, "Don't go away, some people will bring him back."
Xi Ning turned his head and looked at the door, just in time to see Louis looking away from him, he called Langdon, "You come here first."
Langdon hurried over: "What's the matter, boss?"
Louis has no expression on his face, no emotions can be seen: "This is my fifty million, watch it tightly."
What they said at the door, Xi Ning did not hear, only saw that Louis took something to him, and he sank to the bottom again, not very happy: "He did it on purpose?"
The system hesitated and said: "Maybe... just not steady?"
Langdon went out and came back soon, directing several subordinates: "Move up and follow me, and I'm going to get something to eat."
He had people move Xi Ning to a clean room, which was several times stronger than the previous utility room. Another man came with a large plate of food and water and placed it on a low table next to the sink. Xi Ning reached out. Can get it.
"You, and you, are all guarding at the door, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb." Langdon arranged two people to guard the door, and finally said to Xi Ning: "Your Highness take a good rest. I will contact the Federation as soon as possible. "
After being with Louis for so long, he could vaguely feel the difference between Louis and Xi Ning, except that Xi Ning's identity was unusual, after all, it was 50 million.
He arranged everything and exited the room, leaving Xi Ning to stay alone.
Xi Ning held it up with his hands. In addition to all kinds of food and water, he also put some fruits on the table. He picked some and leaned against the sink and ate a few bites.
His treatment is obviously different from before. This room has everything that should be there, and it is equipped with a bathroom.
It's just Louis' attitude that makes Xi Ning a little sad. He tilted his head and leaned on his arm and said to the system: "I think he seems a little different from before."
"Where is it different?" The system thought for a while, "It may be affected by some character background, but the host must have confidence in himself."
Xi Ning silently ate and did not answer. After eating, he set the plate and swayed the fish tail in the pool, slapping the surface of the water one after another.
At this time, Louis was sitting on the chair in his room with a display screen on the tabletop. The picture was in Xi Ning's new room.
