Pirate: This general is a bit drifting!

"What did you say!!!"

The mother-in-law's rickety body suddenly stood upright.

The height that originally seemed less than one meter suddenly became two or three meters tall.

But the next moment, he stooped again.

"Why is the Seven Star Sword missing?"

Her expression suddenly became restless, and the accident happened.

She glanced at Ximu without any trace, and in her heart, she was full of doubts about this man.

Could it be that he stole the Seven Star Sword?

As a mature woman, she could see Ximu's desire for power, and she could also see that he was full of curiosity about the Seven Star Sword.

It just so happens that the Seven Star Sword possesses great power.

The combination of the two made her have to worry about this happening.

Ximu was not a fool. Although his mother-in-law just glanced at her secretly, he still noticed this strange look.

He understood why his mother-in-law suddenly looked at him like this.

It must be because she has a grudge against her status as a navy.

And not for other reasons.

Yes, it must be so.

So when Ximu heard that the Seven Star Sword was missing, he immediately said righteously:

"Why isn't something as dangerous as the Seven Star Sword kept properly? We must seize the time to find this sword before the blood moon night to prevent darkness from falling on the earth."

Seeing Ximu's extremely solemn expression, the suspicion in her mother-in-law's eyes was slightly reduced, and she turned to Maya and said, "Take us to the shrine to see it."

"Yes."

Maya agreed and led the two of them to a shrine.

Entering the shrine, Ximu frowned and observed the surrounding environment.

The layout inside the shrine is very simple. There is a shrine in the shrine, and a statue of a shrine maiden is placed inside.

If you don't look at the shrine, you won't know that the shrine was robbed.

The layout inside the shrine has not suffered any damage.

Only the shrine under the statue of the shrine maiden had a big hole, and an empty shelf was placed inside the hole.

This empty shelf was obviously used to enshrine the Seven Star Sword, but the Seven Star Sword on the shelf had disappeared at this time.

Looking at the neat environment around him, Ximu already had some guesses in his mind and said.

"It seems that an acquaintance committed the crime. The purpose of the person who stole the Seven-Star Sword is very clear. He came just for the Seven-Star Sword, and he also knows the exact location of the Seven-Star Sword."

Although he is not a professional detective, as a marine, it is not an exaggeration to know two skills.

After hearing these words, the expressions of the mother-in-law and Maya changed drastically, obviously they had thought of something.

Maya even took two steps back, with a little confusion in her eyes, and whispered softly: "Impossible... How is this possible? He can't be this kind of person."

Xi Mu didn't know why.

However, the mother-in-law solved the puzzle: "The Seven Star Sword is enshrined under the statue of the witch, and only three people on Aska Island know about it."

"Which three?"

The mother-in-law looked helpless: "Apart from Maya and me, only Saka knows."

Saka?

Ximu was even more confused this time.

"Didn't he just arrive on this island recently? How could he know such an important place?"

The mother-in-law was a little silent, and Maya even lowered her head and said nothing.

After a while, the mother-in-law said.

"Saka is actually a pretty good young man. I originally planned to let him inherit the shrine after he and Maya get together... so it is normal for him to know where the Seven Star Sword is stored."

The mother-in-law was leaning on a cane, lowering her eyelids, and said helplessly: "I really didn't expect that he would do such a thing."

"Perhaps he was bewitched by the Seven Star Sword."

Ximu just said something casually, but he didn't expect his mother-in-law on the side to actually nod when she heard this.

"Yes, he must have been bewitched by the demonic power of the Seven Star Sword."

Ximu was stunned, but couldn't say much.

On the other hand, Maya, who was on the side, frowned and slowly relaxed when she heard her mother-in-law say this.

"Second Lieutenant Ximu," the mother-in-law's tone at this time was full of pleading.

"Now I can only ask you to find Saka. Tomorrow night is the night of the blood moon. The Seven-Star Sword cannot be left alone like this. Otherwise, if the Seven-Star Sword comes into contact with the power of the blood moon, the seal will be completely released. "

After hearing this, Ximu did not agree directly.

Instead, he thought deeply for a moment, then nodded and agreed with a serious look on his face.

"For the sake of the safety of the people on Askar Island, I, Ximu, am duty-bound. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely bring Saka back before tomorrow night."

Seeing Ximu's solemn look, Maya's eyes flashed with anticipation.

"Second Lieutenant Ximu, please let me go with you to find Saka. I want to persuade him to put down the Seven Star Sword." Maya pursed her lips and looked at Ximu.

Ximu nodded and did not refuse, but was thinking in his heart that it seemed that he could not look for traces of Ace.

So he asked: "You are familiar with Saka, so where do you think he will appear now?"

"If there is one place where he is most likely to appear now, there is probably only one place."

Maya said and glanced at Ximu.

To be more precise, it was Nishiki's navy uniform.

"That's the Navy Dojo on Aska Island."

This answer was beyond Ximu's expectation.

"Why did he go to the Marine Dojo?"

It seems that there is some entanglement between the navy on Askar Island and this small village.

Others in the village were somewhat hostile to the navy, but Saka, who was regarded as his successor by his mother-in-law, went to the naval base after stealing the Seven Star Sword.

But Ximu obviously had a different idea.

Maya was seen saying anxiously.

"We'd better get to the Marine Dojo as soon as possible. If we're late, it'll be too late."

Ximu looked at Maya in confusion, only to see her continue speaking.

"Because no matter who takes the Seven Star Sword, the first thing he must do is go to the Navy Dojo."

"why?"

"Because the Seven Star Sword has the power to confuse people's hearts, the person holding the sword will definitely use the Seven Star Sword to control the navy. If the navy is controlled, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hearing this sentence, Ximu understood.

But now, she still doesn't want to admit that it was Saka who stole the Seven Star Sword.

Ximu glanced at Maya and said nothing more.

At the moment, I didn’t want to stay too long in the shrine.

"In that case, let's quickly go to the Navy Dojo to find Saka. We must know that things should not be delayed, otherwise things will change."

Maya nodded and followed Ximu towards the naval base.

Behind them, the mother-in-law looked at their leaving figures and sighed silently.

He walked up to the statue of the miko, put down his crutches, and clasped his hands in prayer.

"Great gods of the Seven Stars of Askar, please tell me how to survive this blood moon night safely."

"Will darkness cover the land again?"
