Charlemagne exchanged glances with his sister calmly.
Circumstances... a little more than expected.
I didn't expect that after Ai Wenna's careful investigation, I was still being monitored, which led to great passivity. Now the identities of the two may not have been exposed, or they may have been exposed, but this is no longer important. What is important is the immediate What exactly do these mysterious people want to do, and whether they have anything to do with those pirates.
This is a warship—the word warship makes Charlemagne thorn in the back.
There will be some mysterious things of unknown origin in this world, such as ancient wizards who have been hidden for hundreds of thousands of years suddenly riding mechanical dragons to swagger through the city, such as out-of-control magic soldiers who suddenly ran out of a certain ruins, or some Charlemagne once thought that the silver-white giant ship in front of him was one of the above situations, but it was a warship.
Hao Ren saw that the man named Charlemagne's expression was changing, so he didn't give him too much time to think: "I don't know what you are imagining, but let me first declare one thing - we are not hostile, and we are not hostile to you. Your encounter and involvement in this attack was a complete accident, we did save you from the pirates by accident, at least there is nothing to hide."
Charlemagne's eyebrows trembled: In other words, these people in front of them have no connection with those pirates? Is this really a coincidence
But how much credibility is the other party...
But when Charlemagne was still weighing the pros and cons, Awenna took a step forward: "We come from the royal family of Ysu, and His Majesty Berentine is our father."
Charlemagne immediately whispered with some dissatisfaction: "Ewenna!"
Aiwenna's face was as calm as water: "Brother, we are on their boat, and everyone is on their boat."
This sentence immediately woke up Charlemagne, he realized that he had overlooked some things, and Aiwenna actually understood better than he could see.
My brother and sister are on someone else's ship, and this ship is still floating above the world rift. In this situation, as long as the owner of the ship knows about the "suspicious identities" of the two of us, it will be over. There is no longer any initiative to speak of. As for the sentence "everyone is on their ship", it is not just about worrying that other crew members will be threatened as hostages, but also reminds Charlemagne that those crew members and passengers may also leak information—even if it is not intentional of.
Instead of that, it's better to cooperate, anyway, compared to the real secret, the identities of the two of them are not a big deal.
After hearing Awenna's words, Hao Ren was indeed a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would rescue such two special people by mistake before he came to this planet, but after thinking about it carefully Thinking about his own business, he became indifferent in an instant. As for the identities of the two princes and princesses in front of him, it doesn’t matter to him—the princess is just like that, she still has to study, do her homework, go to bed on time at night, read comics and play games, and she has to be beaten after accidentally tearing down the home appliances. Ass, he is still Arim's Sun King, doesn't he still fight a husky for two ribs every day
However, he is still very interested in these two special characters: "The princess and prince of the ancient country of Yisu? How could such a special character appear on a passenger ship sailing alone? And they were attacked by pirates..."
"This was a secret mission," Charlemagne said a little angrily. Anyway, his identity has been exposed, and it doesn't matter if some unimportant things are revealed. "Ewenna and I traveled from Ysu to Germany as secret envoys." Ragon Empire, and those pirates..."
Before he could finish speaking, Vivienne had already accepted the second half of the sentence: "Then it seems that those pirates are not real 'pirates'."
Charlemagne took a deep look at the woman who interrupted suddenly: "... there are some deviations, but those pirates are indeed not pure."
Hao Ren looked at Vivienne in surprise, and the latter waved his hand indifferently: "I've seen a lot of such shitty things. When several European countries fought for supremacy at sea, half of the pirates who ran on the high seas were eating royal food. I was almost tempted to think of being a pirate, but then the ship sank and I didn't... "
Hao Ren was startled: This Countess actually has such a history? When I went back ten thousand years, I really left too hastily and missed a lot of details!
"Ahem," Hao Ren noticed the curious expressions of Charlemagne and Evanna, and hurriedly coughed twice to bring the topic back, "I understand, which means that you two are secretly going from the country of Ysu to the Empire of Dragon Served as a special envoy, but not only was the action exposed, but someone was planning to do something wrong, so you were attacked by pirates, right? No wonder you two always give me the feeling of being persecuted.”
Ai Wenna's face was a little curious: "What is persecution paranoia?"
"It's just paranoid. When someone sneezes, you all suspect that you are using a secret signal. When you have a meal with someone, you are always worried that someone will throw a cup and summon five hundred knives." Hao Ren waved his hand, "To be honest, with this state Dealing with people like this is very tiring, and you can make up 200,000 words of swords and swords in one sentence. Tsk... let’s not talk about this, you were worried about our connection with those pirates, right?"
"To be honest, I'm worried until now," Aiwenna said frankly, "but seeing your attitude... I don't think so."
"... Let's take it as a compliment," Hao Ren sighed, "So, the so-called passenger ship White Pearl and the people on it are the missions in disguise?"
"Not all," Charlemagne said, "The White Pearl is indeed a passenger ship, and there are indeed ordinary passengers on it, and the envoys are just mixed in."
An old captain with a white beard and a pipe appeared in Hao Ren's mind: "If I'm not wrong, at least that Captain Borken is an insider, right?"
"It seems that you have already contacted him." Charlemagne did not mean to hide it, "Captain Borken has always been the captain of the White Pearl. Thirty years."
"Has he been trained for a long time... What a pity for that ship and that captain," Vivienne shook her head regretfully, "If this happened, his career and future would basically be over."
"What is the purpose of your mission this time?" Lily blinked her eyes and listened for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking at this moment.
Charlemagne's expression suddenly became extremely vigilant, this is the most critical secret, and it is a secret that only he and Awenna know, so it is no longer within the scope of "cooperation": "It is hard to tell. "
Lily nodded: "Oh, then it goes without saying, I'm just curious to ask casually."
Then she turned around, took a drink from the side, inserted the straw into it and started blowing bubbles.
Charlemagne: "..."
The inner fluctuations of His Royal Highness are very complicated: so...don't ask? It turned out to be a random question! Why doesn't this play out according to common sense? !
"Ahem, don't think too much, she's really just curious." Hao Ren felt a little awkward in the atmosphere, and quickly said, "So, you are going to the Dragon Empire... to meet the man with the dragon Your Majesty the Emperor of the Soul?"
"Is this related to you?" The cautious and alert expression on Charlemagne's face has not weakened in the slightest, and it is even a little more obvious than before, "I still don't know your identities—if you want to talk 'openly and honestly' After talking, I think you should at least introduce yourself at this time."
After several conversations, he finally decided not to answer the next question, but wanted to find out the origins of these people in front of him first—whether it was the real origin or not, at least he had to inquire.
"Oh, it's our negligence," Hao Ren smiled dryly, then pointed to himself, "We come from the World Tree Temple, you can call me Hao Ren, and the people next to you are..."
He didn't take out the complex system about Xiling pantheon and examiner, because it was unnecessary, and he had to explain a lot of background settings, so he simply arranged a "world tree temple" for himself and others. Origin, and in a way it's not a lie: they really started from the World Tree Temple...
"World Tree Temple?" Charlemagne frowned as expected, "I've never heard of this sect or organization..."
"We are isolated from the world and have never intervened in the affairs of this world. Not to mention you, even your king's father probably doesn't know the existence of the World Tree Temple," Hao Ren said sincerely, "So You don't have to be so wary of us: we are independent from the world."
Charlemagne did not fully believe in this rhetoric, but it is not impossible for a hermit organization that never intervenes in secular affairs and is called a "temple". Although it is surprising that they have a "warship", perhaps this It just proves the background and financial resources of this hermit organization, and the peculiarity of this ship just proves the other party's statement of "isolation".
At least for a civilization that has not entered the space age, the hidden organizations in the world are easier to understand than the aliens in the universe.
He chose to be dubious, but he was still very serious when he spoke: "A hermit sect? You are isolated from the world, so why did you suddenly appear in the world this time?"
Hao Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that he could finally say the key point: "It just so happens that we are also going to the Dragon Empire to find the Dragon Soul Emperor—but we didn't expect that when we crossed the world rift But I met the White Pearl, and what I didn't expect was that the two of you would also go to the empire's "secret envoy" on the White Pearl. It's unbelievable, but it may be a kind of fate."
At this time, Evanna couldn't help but said: "You are also going to the Dragon Empire? What are you going to do?"
"It can be regarded as a mission," Vivian imitated Charlemagne's tone just now, "but the specific purpose... It's hard to tell."
"All in all, we have a common goal," Hao Ren clapped his hands, "If you don't mind, maybe we can go together?"
