Crimson Cross Observatory

After restless analysis and tracking, I don't know how many vortex jumps, and finally returned to the origin in vain. Captain Bao Guifu rubbed his temples tiredly. His physical strength has reached its limit, and his crew has also arrived. At the limit, several navigators were exhausted in order to perform continuous vortex jumps, but the universe is so big, as time passed, their chances of finding "Duke Lorien" became even slimmer.

"What's the new news?" With difficulty moving his limbs, Captain Bao Guifu's voice could not hide his fatigue. Through the tracking of reaction particles, the longer the time dragged on, the weaker the reaction particles, and they could only grasp the time. Tracking, once the reaction particles are completely exhausted, then they really cut off all clues.

"No, the reaction particles are starting to fail." He replied feebly, and the crew in charge of tracking sighed. This is really looking for a needle in a haystack. Vortex jumping is not so easy to track, and it is often because of the navigator's little flash , the difference is hundreds of thousands of miles. Even the same navigator may not be able to reach the same place again and again due to lack of training, inexperience, or lack of determination. Therefore, navigators with eddy current jumping ability He will be so respected, and among them, the ability to jump in continuous vortex for a long time is the most powerful. The navigator of the Nangong is just a master of it, and all the navigators on the Suanni combined cannot catch up with him.

"Captain, Princess Povals has requested a communication."

"Open the channel."

Pull up your spirits. Captain Bao Guifu actually doesn't have the spare energy to deal with this princess. Povals' warships did not make any contribution except to follow closely. Battleships can't play a role in this quadrant, but he doesn't want to waste his energy on this issue. The Supreme Council of the Cross Star Alliance issued a resolution, asking them to be responsible for rescuing "Duke Lorien", and there will be two other ships with the Suan Ni. The battleship of the 147st grade will meet them in the [-]th sector, so he must find the young man one step earlier and train him to play the role of Duke Lorien, so that he will not show his flaws.

"captain. 』

"Princess."

"I'm sorry for contacting you now, because of the transformation of the type, the energy of Una has become much weaker, and I have only tracked him down until now.... 』

"Can you track down your chief guard?"

"Yes, the souls of the Povars are closely connected, but as Una's energy weakens and the distance grows, the bond between me and him gradually becomes blurred.... 』

"Princess, where is their last location?"

『I have sent the coordinates there. 』

After the call ended, Captain Bao Guifu gave a wink, and the navigator called up the star map near the coordinates, about six vortex jumps away from them. If you want to catch up with the Nanbow at the fastest speed, among them There are three jumps that must be connected, which requires an experienced navigator to do it.

"'Pirate Bay', the destination of the Southern Bow is 'Pirate Bay'." After resting enough, the Mia science officer who returned to the bridge on duty took a look at the star map and calmly pointed out an inconspicuous star. Medium-sized planet, the thin finger pressed on the dashboard, and the detailed information about "The Pirate Bay" immediately appeared next to the star map.

"Is that the legendary planet occupied by interstellar pirates?" The navigator looked at the planet, not sure whether he was excited or surprised. Since he had already drawn a star map and had detailed information, it represented the cross-star alliance. Knowing the location of this planet for a long time, why not send a warship to take back this planet ravaged by pirates?

"I would not use the word 'occupation' to describe 'The Pirate's Bay'. It is self-sufficient and autonomous. It is a paradise for smugglers, pirates and other lawless elements. All transactions you can imagine and unimaginable can be carried out there." Shake Shaking his head, Miya Science Officer explained seriously.In fact, the Supreme Council has discussed whether it should send warships to regain control of the "Pirate Bay", and finally decided to turn a blind eye or close one eye. If those people are not allowed to have a place to gather, those pirates Only then will they truly wreak havoc.

"Where are dragons and snakes everywhere, do you think they will take "Duke Lorien" and the chief guard to run there?" Frowning, Captain Bao Guifu did not doubt the judgment of Mia's scientific officer, but according to common sense, the South Bow should choose Just avoid such troubles.

"We don't know why the Southern Bow took away the Duke and the chief guard, but what is certain is that after the battle at the Crimson Cross Observatory, the Southern Bow could not be without any wear and tear, and they must find a way to replenish it. "The Pirate Bay" is their best choice."

While explaining, she drew the best route. Now that she knew the destination, Mia Science Officer considered the load of their navigator and planned a route for them that only needed five vortex jumps. She was confident that she could catch up in time. South Bow.

"Pilot, set course and set sail."

"Bring your weapons, this is the 'Pirate Bay', don't expect any well-meaning people to appear here." In the leisure bar, Akasha reminded her one last time, she came here for supplies, not for trouble, but for self-protection If you still need it, hand over a short gun to Wu Na and Lin Sen.

"For us?" Looking back at Akasha very unexpectedly, Lin Sen thought that she would take the opportunity to get rid of the two of them, but obviously, she planned to take them away, which is very inconsistent with Akasha's personality, after all , The two of them did not pay any fees, and taking them would increase the weight and waste food, which is unreasonable.

"Before arriving on Planet Boja [-], you are still my passengers. When I go to resupply, you can walk around. Nineteen will set a time for you. Remember to come back to the South Bow before the deadline." While talking, Akasha stuck the short gun into the side of her thigh, and threw a small bag of currency to Xiao Wai. This engineering geek has to buy some parts and come back to repair the South Bow. As for her, she plans to stay in a nearby bar and see See if you can play a few games and earn some subsidies.

"I don't understand……."

"You don't need to understand, just do it!"

Glancing at Lin Sen, Akasha left the South Bow first, followed by the excited Xiaowai, while Nanda and Shijiu stayed beside Lin Sen and Wu Na.

"'Pirate Bay' has many airships and warships, but it is different from the Crimson Cross Observatory. There, you may still have a chance to find kind people to give you a ride. Here..., it is impossible! So the captain will Take you to Planet Boja [-], and let you disembark there." Calmly explaining to Akasha, Nanda knows that woman very well, she is not an ordinary smuggler, and Akasha still has insurmountable integrity and justice in her heart , This is also why he would be willing to serve her. Compared with some high-ranking officials in the Cross Star Alliance who have duplicity in appearance, Akasha, who is straightforward, is the captain Nanda is willing to follow.

"Akasha is really a good person." Perhaps it was because there were no such things as framing and suspicion among the Povals, so Wu Na immediately believed these words, but Lin Sen, who still had a bit of bad nature, looked suspiciously at [-] , hoping to get a more reasonable answer.

"Maybe imagine that the captain intends to trade with the Cross Star Federation on Planet Boga [-], you are a student of the First Academy of Sciences, and you also look like Duke Lorien, and Wu Na is the chief guard of Princess Bovals, the Cross The Star Alliance is willing to pay a large sum of money to "redeem" you back." Sure enough, Nineteen gave another reasonable guess, and this time Lin Sen nodded and agreed, this is the Akasha he knew .

Just like every ordinary medium-sized planet, "The Pirate Bay" is also very lively, and it is not at all obvious that these gatherings are all murderous and heinous.Strolling casually in the busiest central area, the people who come and go and pass by are almost all unknown races. Lin Sen looks around excitedly. This is the life he wants, to visit one strange planet after another .

"Where do you want to go in particular?" Wu Na found it very interesting to keep an eye on Lin Sen's reaction.He couldn't hide his emotions because he didn't adapt to the human form, but Lin Sen is a human being to the letter, but he also made no secret of his curiosity about "The Pirate Bay", his bright eyes were full of excitement , in human terms, should it be called innocent or naive?

"What about you?" Seeing everything felt fresh, but he had no clue. Lin Sen threw the question back to Wu Na, and the two chattered as they became more and more familiar with each other.

"We'd better find a place to sit down." After taking a step back, Nanda calmly and solemnly reminded that this is the "Pirate Bay" after all, and with the appearance of Wu Na and Nineteen, it is too attractive here He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Nodding in agreement, Nineteen's investigation method is different from ordinary people's. He quickly received a lot of unfriendly looks, and he took Wu Na into an inconspicuous small shop first. Lin Sen and Nanda Immediately follow.

"Is this kind of planet, space station, full of bars, bars, bars?" Unexpectedly, they got into a bar, maybe it was too early, so there were only drunks in twos and threes, Wu Naren He couldn't help asking curiously. He remembered that Akasha also liked to stay here, and he couldn't help but speculate whether it was this kind of lawbreaker who only liked to move around in this dark, noisy and messy environment. ?

"You expect them to do more noble actions? Even the Cross Star Alliance has a bar on every battleship, because this is the best place to vent the pressure." Naturally, he picked a corner seat and sat down. Nineteen manipulated Press the button on the desktop to start receiving the latest news. This type of bar is the place with the most information. Whether it is the Cross Star Alliance or the Kempa Empire, there will always be a way to reveal the secrets they don't want to be known.

"Our latest recommendation is the Fountain of Youth from the royal family of the Kemper Empire, and the Ocean Star of the Tian Galaxy. Welcome to buy and drink. Just as the four sat down, they repeated it in a soft voice in various languages. Wu Na found it very novel, and Nanda ordered a cup of adaptable drink that humans can use for each of them.

"Is this okay? We don't have any money." Lin Sen felt a little embarrassed when he saw the food synthesizer delivering drinks. They had already eaten and drank for free on the Nanbow, so how could they let Nanda spend money.

"Drink it! It doesn't cost much, and I don't have much chance to spend money." Nanda moved his "wrist watch" to the food synthesis machine slightly, and paid with a beep.

"Well, it's very interesting. We have become wanted criminals of the Cross Star Federation..." After reading the information quickly, Nineteen's pink pupils glowed red, and he raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" Touching the projected image that Shijiu was reading, the screen immediately turned to face Nanda, whose brows were involuntarily frowned.

This is an encrypted message intercepted from the Cross Star Alliance, "The Southern Bow has kidnapped the Duke of Lorien and the chief guard of Povals, Wuna", it is very short but the entire coding method must not be falsified, so it is indeed a message from Suanni The encrypted message of the number.

"When did the Southern Bow hostage the Duke of Lorien? Wu Na..., Wu Na was taken aboard by accident, right?" After all, after getting along for a while, feelings naturally arose, and Lin Sen stood on their side without even thinking about it. Well, although the South Bow is regarded as a smuggling ship, the members on board are all good people, and should not be wanted by the Cross Star Alliance because of a misunderstanding.

"You are on the Southern Bow." Pointing to Lin Sen, Nineteen reminded the young man again that he looked exactly like Duke Lorien.

"But I'm not a duke."

"This is a message from the Suan Ni. He said that you are..., you are! At least, now everyone who knows this message will recognize that you are."

Analyzing in a low voice but calmly, although Nanda did not understand why the captain of the Suan Ni lied, but his identity was different, and the weight of his words was naturally different. This message was sent back to the Supreme Council of the Cross Star Federation, which was equivalent to a disguised Lin Sen's "identity" has been confirmed, unless the real Duke Lorien jumps out to explain, otherwise the Southern Bow will not be able to wash away the charge of kidnapping the Duke.

"Now I really understand why Akasha doesn't want to have anything to do with me. If it were me, I wouldn't bother to board the ship..." Resting his forehead and sighing in frustration, Lin Sen thought about what Duke Lorien had done before. The proposal, he really should change another "face".

"In fact, this is exactly in line with the captain's planned plan. When you arrive at Planet Boja [-], you will negotiate with the Cross Star Federation, and your status will change from a student of the First Academy of Sciences to the Duke of Lorienne. The captain will take advantage of the situation to promote you. The ransom for the ransom..." I didn't think Lin Sen would be troublesome at all, Nineteen calmly analyzed Akasha's possible actions, she was not a law-abiding person in the first place, and it didn't seem to change much now that she became a wanted criminal. With the performance and combat power of the bow, it is impossible for ordinary warships to catch up with this baby.

"Thank you..., I am more comforted like this." Lin Sen forced a fake smile, and really admired Shijiu's unique thinking. It should be urgent and terrible. He spit it out but it became calm. It is no wonder that he, a creature from another dimension, was trapped in a strange world and could not return, but he was not afraid at all, and lived leisurely instead.

"The only thing we need to watch out for is how many people know the news, and how many people know that you are the 'Duke Lorien'." Frowning, Nanda looked around with a serious expression. Bars can provide this kind of information. It is conceivable that almost the entire "Pirate Bay" should know that the South Bow is wanted. Yes, how to leave the "Pirate Bay" and safely arrive at Planet Boja [-] will test Nanda's intelligence and navigation ability.

"If this is the case... maybe we should leave as soon as possible. The sooner we arrive at Planet Boja [-], the sooner Akasha can negotiate with the Cross Star Federation." I don't want to be because of my own problems, not even my own at all. Lin Sen didn't plan to stay in the "Pirate Bay" anymore, even though it seemed so new and interesting.

"Yes.... Nineteen, inform the captain that we are going to leave." Lin Sen nodded admiringly. Nanda believed that this young man would become an excellent interstellar adventurer. He already possessed clear And decisive judgment, as long as he is given the opportunity to hone and gain experience, he will become a powerful captain.

Following Lin Sen, Wu Na took a deep breath and stood still. The golden halo on his body suddenly became stronger, making everyone have to avoid their eyes. The whole small bar was illuminated by blinding light, and it took a while to recover. normal.

"What's the matter? Are you okay?" Lin Sen asked with concern after stroking Wuna's arm. For a moment, Wuna was like a soft, small sun, fully able to feel the power emanating from the other party Energy, he began to understand a little bit why the Cross Star Alliance did not form an alliance with the Bovals. Only creatures like Una could stop the infinite expansion of race number 9527.

"I... I have connected with the princess, she is chasing us..." His tone couldn't hide his excitement, and Wu Na was very happy that the princess of Povars was safe and sound. Since he changed into a human form, his His power was limited, so he couldn't actively contact the princess, but obviously, this quadrant did not affect the power of the princess. She had detected the bond between them and was chasing after him.

"That's great, you can go back." After all, it's not like he made up his mind to wander among the stars. When he heard that Povals' battleship was chasing here, Lin Sen was really happy for Wu Na.

"Yeah... that's great..." Seeing Lin Sen hesitate to speak, Wu Na took a deep breath as if making up his mind.
