Besides, maintaining the navy is more expensive and troublesome than the army. Everyone is relatively poor in this era, and even nobles can't afford to be adventurers. After comprehensive consideration, the navy is directly ignored by all parties.

Although Arthur wanted to vigorously develop the navy at the beginning, completely block the British Seaman and the surrounding waters from the ocean, and realize the glorious isolation of the British Empire, but after calculating the cost and maintenance costs, he resolutely gave up. It is impossible to maintain such a large navy even if the entire British Empire is destroyed, and the technology does not allow it.

All in all, after the Old Port, although the Black Pearl was the official fleet, Arthur didn't pay too much attention to it. Noah Ark also handed over the Black Pearl to SI[-], and he became the edge of SI[-] by the way. Intelligence personnel, of course, this is also the reason why Miss Succubus Nine wants to investigate Noah's Ark here, although there is no result from the investigation office.

As for the investigation of the Son of the Ocean with Don Quixote, Noah's Ark explained that he didn't actually make any effort, but just helped Don Quixote to run errands and deliver letters. The reason for this is told Arthur.

Regardless of the previous situation, Noah Ark is indeed the intelligence contact person who is waiting for Arthur and others from SI[-] this time, and is also the contact person in charge of coordinating the pirates.

"After His Majesty the King of Ireland was kidnapped by pirates, he immediately asked His Majesty Arthur to go and redeem him with his own son. The specific reason why he did this is that he heard that the Black Pearl was recruited as a privateer. The reason why I wanted to join the privateer fleet after obtaining the permission to plunder legally, but I was afraid of receiving unfair treatment from other nobles, so I wanted to communicate with you King Arthur face to face."

In the tavern, Noah's Ark, who entertained Arthur, Kai, Bedivere, and Gavin, said so while drinking ale.

"Want to join the privateer fleet? Kidnapped a king..." Kai said in a speechless manner.

"What the King of Ireland said was probably just an accident. According to my understanding, he was caught by pirates by chance. In any case, His Majesty the King of Ireland should be in a pretty good situation now, and the other party has no malicious intentions." Noah Ark nodded and said so.

"I probably understand the situation. If that's the case, let them join. However, you must clarify with them the conditions that privateers are not allowed to rob British ships, and then other Anglo-Saxon ships will be robbed casually." , in the name of the British Empire, I will provide them with a port and shelter." Arthur waved his hand and said speechlessly, it turned out that he wanted to join the official robbery organization, but he didn't expect to be so troublesome by these pirates what.

"Well, I will communicate with the pirates, but we may need to wait for one more person." Noah's Ark said to Arthur: "Because of various considerations, those pirates are mainly worried that we will go back on our word, and For their own safety, they also asked for a witness."

"Witness? What do you mean?" Gavin frowned.

"It is a person who has connections with both parties, and serves as a witness in the middle. After all, the cooperation in the form of privateers is still very new. Even though Your Majesty Arthur has a good record in the old port, those pirates who yearn to join privateers , you still have to be careful, right?" Don Quixote said, then looked at the completely dark sky outside, and said to himself: "It should be almost time."

"However, who is the witness?" As soon as Arthur's voice fell, the door of the tavern was pushed open.

The bartender who was wiping the wooden glass raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.

The one who walked in was a petite girl wearing a full-body cloak.

"Ah! The witnesses are here!" Noah Ark raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.

"Guinevere?"

"Arthur?!"

Arthur, who was sitting in his seat, of course immediately saw the so-called witness of Noah's Ark, who was officially the daughter of the King of Ireland, Guinevere.

"Okay, okay, now our personnel are finally here, we can set off to negotiate with those pirates!" Noah's Ark stood up, and put a pirate hat he once wore on his head superior.

Arthur was not at all psychologically prepared for Guinevere's appearance. Although he knew that MI[-] had informed Guinevere about her father's kidnapping, the pirates asked Guinevere to be a witness. People do not know.

However, in Arthur's view, the situation is more urgent. Although it feels a bit strange, there is no time to think about it. Under the leadership of Noah Ark, a group of Arthur, Kai, Gavin, and Bedivere who have just arrived in Dragonstone Harbor As well as Guinevere, they moved towards the port.

However, when several people arrived at the port, they found that their plan to rescue the King of Ireland had to run aground for the time being.

Because... the waves are getting bigger and bigger.

"It seems that there should be a storm or something coming." Bedivere looked at the calm sea just a moment ago, but now there are waves of shocking waves, and made such a judgment.

Because it's just a small town that isn't very big, and it's already getting late, there's no one to ask at the port.

However, looking at the scary sea surface, for the sake of safety and solemnity, Arthur decided to wait until dawn to see the situation. After all, although it is more important to rescue the King of Ireland at this time, if there is a shipwreck, no one will be saved. If people like myself still join in, it will be a bit of a loss.

The most important thing is that Arthur vaguely felt a little strange that this happened too coincidentally, the king was still captured by pirates, and he even asked himself and Guinevere to be there by name. His own round bed... Arthur decided to wait until he collected information.

After making a decision, the group found a hotel and took a short rest.

However, something unexpected happened suddenly afterwards...

"I... where is this..."

Arthur, who was awakened by the sea breeze, looked at the sea in front of him speechlessly, and asked in a daze to himself.

no.628 Beautiful girl kidnapper? !

The waves are beating against the rocks gently, like a mother stroking a child in her arms.The sea breeze blows, and the sea waves make a "squeaky" sound, like a lullaby, coaxing the child in his arms to sleep.

Arthur looked at the slightly bright sky, gusts of sea breeze brought the unique freshness and humidity of the sea, and rushed towards him, blowing away all the fatigue of the journey.

Generally speaking, when you see such a beautiful scenery, you should show a knowing smile, but considering that you were obviously lying in a comfortable hotel before, even though it was a wooden bed, at least you would not be hit in the face by the sea water splashed by the waves like now. Also, there is no thick rope tied to his body.

The place where Arthur is now is a small sailboat that doesn't look very big. The sailboat can only seat five or six people in total, and Arthur is currently tied to the mast, with the back of his head There was some faint pain, as if someone had slapped her hard.

What's going on... I was attacked?Impossible, with the knights of the round table protecting him, how could he be attacked without anyone noticing it?Arthur looked dazed and didn't understand what happened at all, but the pain in the back of his neck was still so obvious that Arthur felt that he should have been sneaked in while he was sleeping, then knocked out and taken away .

Just as all the cells in Arthur's body were on alert, thinking about how to escape, a figure suddenly broke into Arthur's eyes, Guinevere.

"I'm sorry, I know this is not good for you, but only by handing you over to the pirates can I save my father."

Guinevere apologized deeply, and was still holding the rope that controlled the sail. Judging from the current situation, Guinevere should have kidnapped herself.Arthur looked at Guinevere's expression in front of him, and made such a judgment instantly.

But why?coercion?Premeditated?

"Although I can probably guess your mood, but...why is this? Just to save your father? But what does saving your father have to do with me?"

Arthur looked at Guinevere in front of him with a dark face, and asked.

"The target of those pirates is you? Exchange the king for the king. I also heard that you owe a lot of money to others. Maybe those pirates were hired by others to ask you to pay back the money? Hey, whatever, at least Their request is that you go to the scene to exchange my father, right? Anyway, you are a silver armored knight, and you are so powerful, there will be no danger, my father is already very old." Guinevere looked The worried expression continued: "But don't worry, after I exchange you for my father, I won't leave immediately, I will come back to rescue you soon!"

"Wait! Is there a logical problem? The pirates' request is only for me to be there, not to exchange me for your father, King of Ireland! Actually, they just..." Arthur thought To explain that those pirates just wanted to join their privateer fleet, but they were worried that it was a scam or something, and they kidnapped the King of Ireland by coincidence, so they came up with the idea of ​​using the King of Ireland as a bargaining chip to protect their own The meaning of safety, of course, may also be to show one's own strength.

No matter what the situation was, Arthur felt that there should be no great danger.

It's just that before Arthur finished speaking, the boat in front of him suddenly swayed and made a slight sound as it hit something.

"We have arrived……"
