Late that night—

"Everyone! There is a small village not far ahead! Food, treasures, valuables! Take one of them! Go!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Deaver gave an order, and the group of pirates rushed out of the pirate ship and rushed down the trail towards the small village like hungry tigers descending a mountain.

This distance is neither far nor close, and at their adult speed, it only takes a few minutes. When they saw the gate of the small village, their eyes were full of greed, and they rushed into the nearest house screaming.

In an instant, the sleeping village was awakened. Women's screams and children's cries filled the sky. Later, their blood dyed the pirates' progress red.

"Come here and go to the village chief's house with me!"

Deaver walked on the blood-stained road with his sword on his shoulder. The fire ignited behind him illuminated him like an evil star from hell, which was deeply imprinted in the minds of the villagers and pirates.

"Okay, boss!"

Seeing how domineering the captain was, the pirates were all carried away with their passion and worked harder to plunder all available resources.

Deaver led a group of people and swept all the way, leaving no one alive.

"I seem to smell something burning..."

Seth, who was lying on his bed, slowly got up and got out of bed. Under Cecile's doubtful eyes, he walked to the window and opened the curtains.

Suddenly, the red sky shone into the room, and an ominous premonition surged from the hearts of both of them at the same time.

"I...I'll go to the village chief's house to have a look!"

Cecile stood up quickly, opened the door and ran out in a panic.

However, before taking a few steps, they ran into Deaver and his group who were looking for the village chief.

"Hey, who is this? Isn't this our ship's doctor?"

Deaver laughed happily the moment he saw Cecile. How do you say that? Should it be yours or yours?

The person whom I thought would take some effort to find was actually met so easily. Doesn’t this mean that even God considers these two people to be its crew?

"De...Deaver..."

Cecile felt that she must have had a nightmare, otherwise how could she see Deaver here? After finally escaping, is she destined to be unable to escape from this man's grasp?

Just when she was sad and desperate, a pair of warm hands tapped her shoulder. At the same time, a gentle voice came to my ears.

"Cecile, go into the house. Leave this to me."

When Deaver spoke, Seth took steps towards the door. At this time, he had already arrived in front of Cecile, blocking her behind him just like he did on the pirate ship that day, leaving her with a reassuring back.

Cecile didn't hesitate, she nodded obediently and ran into the house, closing the door and locking it neatly.

She knew that her presence would be like that on the ship, a living target. Seth would never be hurt by himself, he only got hurt because he wanted to protect her. In this case, she might as well hide in a safe place and let Seth fight with peace of mind.

"As long as you are willing to go back with me, I will not pursue what happened last time."

The pirates brought by Deaver slowly surrounded Seth. As long as he made any move, they could attack him in groups.

However, Seth, who was surrounded by them in the center, was surprisingly calm. Even though he was seriously injured, he didn't take these little pirates seriously. With the exception of Deaver, who was a bit of a pain to solve, everyone else was nothing more than a one-trick move.

Deaver obviously knew this too. Whether it was when he was taken aboard or when he escaped last time, he never understood Seth's strength. Originally, it was impossible for such a strong man to be threatened by him, but he was not afraid of the strength of the strong, but afraid of the weakness of the strong. And his weakness is obvious, he is soft-hearted.

If it were any other strong man, someone who jumped like him would have lost his life long ago. However, Seth repeatedly did not take his life, but tried his best to avoid the battle. Although it might be because he was seriously injured and didn't want to waste extra energy, it was an indisputable fact that he didn't want to take people's lives casually.

If this were someone with some self-awareness or some conscience, they would definitely stop provoking Seth. Unfortunately, he faced Deaver. His softness only made Deaver more impudent.

"You don't deserve it."

Seth stood there expressionless, his contempt obvious.

The battle here is about to break out, and the small herb shop on the other side is also facing a small-scale battle.

Yaying kicked the last pirate over with a side kick, and used her inertia to flip over in the air and land lightly.

"Brother Boss, are you injured?"

Putting the two swords into their scabbards, Yaying walked up to Allen and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, thank you."

Allen stood firmly on the wall with one hand and thanked Yaying.

After knowing that there was a herbal shop in this village, the pirates made this place a key target for plunder without saying a word. After all, a group of them had just experienced a storm and suffered many deaths and injuries, and they were in urgent need of a batch of medicinal materials to treat their injuries.

Then Allen, who had just packed up the shop and was about to go home to rest, was unlucky enough to encounter several pirates holding weapons. After judging the disparity in the number of people, Allen did not choose to fight forcefully, but stood obediently in a safe corner and allowed them to remove all the medicinal materials.

Faced with Allen who did not resist, the pirates had no intention of dealing with him. After just sending a pirate to keep an eye on him, the rest of the people were busy carrying medicinal materials.

Yaying saw this scene when she arrived. At this time, the chivalrous and courageous young swordsman pulled out her two-handed sword without saying a word, and killed the pirate guarding Allen with the sword in hand.

When the pirate met Yaying, he pushed Allen away with his backhand, causing the unsuspecting Allen to hit the wall behind him heavily.

When Yaying took care of several pirates, Allen stood upright unsteadily.

"I didn't expect that such a remote village would attract pirates..."

"This is not unusual. A small village like this without naval protection will welcome pirates at any time."

Allen shook his head helplessly and glanced at the various knife marks on the cabinet. Yaying followed his gaze and saw the cabinet scratched by herself and the pirates, and smiled guiltily.

"Um... I'm actually here to pay back the money. This scratch should also be included."

Hearing this, Allen gave her a funny look and said.

"That's not necessary. After all, you are here to save me. And I also plan to leave here. I won't need it after repairing it."

"Leave? Aren't you from this village?"

"I... am considered a drifter."

Yaying nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He asked confusedly after looking around the shop that was in a mess due to the fighting.

"Where's that doctor sister? Speaking of which, I haven't paid you yet."

"She lives next door to the village chief's house. If you go there now..."

Halfway through speaking, Allen paused while packing the herbs, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

He remembered that Cecil said they escaped from a pirate ship. Although there won't be so many coincidences in the world, but what if...this pirate group is the pirate group she mentioned before?
