The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Prince Aslan is currently in a coma, and it's uncertain whether he will even wake up. We cannot get the answers to these questions from him for the time being.

But this doesn't mean things have reached a dead end, because there's still one person.

Where did Captain Edward, the pirate captain, go?

Chapter 53 Big Tooth Brother's Background

Perhaps it was seeing a glimmer of light in the fog that prompted Ye Xiao to set off again to inquire about Edward's possible whereabouts after Greta finished eating the grilled fish.

As Ye Xiao walked down the street, a girl holding a papyrus leaflet tugged at his sleeve.

“Sir, sir, I would like to share with you the teachings of the Ocean Goddess.”

Ye Xiao has encountered countless such ordinary missionaries in the past two days. Since the timeline changed, this evil god, who has taken on the title of the Ocean Goddess, has been expanding his influence at an alarming rate.

Ye Xiao casually picked up the flyer and glanced at it.

"The supreme goddess Undine, the guardian of the deep sea, the source of knowledge and love."

"Our hearts yearn for your guidance, just as the waves embrace the shore."

The flyers mostly contained similar phrases. In order not to miss any clues about this evil god, Ye Xiaoduo would pick up even these small flyers and take a look at them.

Unfortunately, so far, all that is known is that the other party may have some kind of connection with the "deep sea".

After stuffing the flyers into his clothes, Ye Xiao first went back to his temporary residence and met up with Dekali and Big Tooth.

Despite having done everything he could, Big Tooth Brother didn't understand why this guy was still lingering there, but he had no choice; being less skilled, he could only obediently follow Ye Xiao's demands.

"What's Theresa saying now?"

Ye Xiao first asked Morality Card.

"Lady Theresa may stay here for another two days to make sure that she helps Lord Torred resolve the matter of Prince Aslan before leaving."

Dekari replied that Ye Xiao had been gathering intelligence these past two days, so he was acting as their temporary team's liaison with Theresa.

"Prince Aslan?"

Ye Xiao asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with Theresa?"

"It must have been a promise made before in order to borrow troops."

Dekari crossed his arms. "I heard Aslan's ships will be arriving in port this afternoon. This wretched place is getting more and more lively."

"By the way, can't you let Lady Agnes come out?"

“Agnes is connected to the Holy Casket. If she comes to this island, it may affect the spread of pollution. We cannot let her come over for the time being.”

Ye Xiao shook her head.

"Okay... although I don't understand what you mean by pollution either."

Decali sighed, "Fortunately, Lady Theresa doesn't seem to care much about her sister. She didn't even bother to ask about her during our two meetings."

"Perhaps she felt more at ease, or perhaps she wished her sister would simply disappear."

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "That woman, Theresa, is one of the more ruthless ones I've ever met."

Decali raised an eyebrow, not daring to respond, after all, he was still a knight of the Boromeo family. "But I can only stay for two more days at most. Once Aslan's fleet picks up Prince Aslan, I'll have to leave no matter what."

"I know we don't have much time left."

Ye Xiao turned her gaze and saw Big Tooth Brother, who was timidly preparing to sneak out the back door. "Hey!? Where are you going?"

"Oh dear... Sir, you see, I have elderly parents and young children to support. I can't just sit here all day. I have to find a way to get something to eat."

Big Tooth Bro had a bitter look on his face.

"Stop yelling nonsense. I think you have quite a lot of stuff in your little stash."

Ye Xiao walked over and grabbed Big Tooth's shoulder. "I'm asking you, Edward the Pirate, have there been any rumors about him lately?"

"It's just the same old thing about him wanting to execute Prince Aslan."

Big Tooth Brother grimaced as Ye Xiao's merciless hand gripped him, "I'm just a bandit, what else could I possibly know?"

"Is there any way I can find that guy?"

"How am I supposed to know where to find that guy..."

Big Tooth was also helpless, but after pausing for two seconds, he seemed to suddenly think of something, "Hey, but if you ask me, that guy is very likely to go there."

"Where? Can you please explain yourself clearly? And why do you speak like a leaky sieve? It's uncomfortable for people to listen to."

Big Tooth Bro's lips twitched. The reason he spoke with a lisp was because his big tooth had been broken by Ye Xiao's punch. How could he be blamed for that?

But he only dared to think these words in his heart, and dared not say them out loud. "Sir, it's that one I mentioned last time, the pirate gathering."

"Oh, that's true."

Ye Xiao remembered that he had temporarily put this matter aside because his main task was to find the Dark Shepherd.

But now, thanks to Big Tooth's reminder, Edward, being a well-known pirate, might actually be most likely to be here in the near future.

"I remember you said before that this gathering was for pirates from all over the continent to elect a pirate king?"

"Yes, my lord."

Big Tooth scratched his head. "However, the gathering is held every three years, but the Pirate King hasn't appeared for many years. So the pirate gathering is basically just a large meeting for pirates to exchange information and treasures."

"Yes, I remember that."

Ye Xiao nodded. "If I want to attend that pirate gathering, how do I get there?"

"I'm not a pirate, sir, how would I know?"

Big Tooth Brother gave a wry smile.

"what?"

Dekali, who had been listening nearby, suddenly spoke up, "But when I was chatting with your little brothers here, they all bragged to me that you were some kind of big pirate who was famous in the Pasif Sea when you were young."

"Oh dear, hahaha, sir, don't listen to their nonsense."

Big Tooth's facial muscles were trembling. "However, if you could tell me which of my underlings said it, I would be extremely grateful."

So, do you know or not?

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. "If I find out you know something, but you tell me you don't, then you should know what I'll do, right?"

"My lord! My lord! Please calm down. As for this matter, I do know a little bit about it, but my reputation among pirates isn't very good, and I'm afraid it will ruin your reputation..."

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me how to get to the pirate gathering."

Ye Xiao rudely interrupted Big Tooth Brother.

Big Tooth's expression was complicated and changed several times. After realizing that he couldn't find a way to refuse, he finally sighed helplessly and looked at his underling, "Hey you... go and get the invitation."

"Invitation card?"

Ye Xiao and Dekari exchanged a glance.

“Our boss was a powerful pirate in the Pasif Sea when he was young, and later became the right-hand man of the Pirate King.”

The underling, holding the invitation, said with considerable pride, "Every time the pirate gathering is held, they send an invitation to our boss."

"Holy crap! So that's what you were saying, you idiot??"

Big Tooth Brother's forehead veins were bulging, but after seeing Ye Xiao's eyes, he immediately softened up again. "Hey haha, sir, that's all just bragging about the past. As the boss, how can you keep your underlings in check if you don't exaggerate your reputation?"

Chapter 54 The Aslans

Regardless of whether Big Tooth Brother's boasted history is true or false, when Ye Xiao held the gilded invitation in his hand, the pure gold thread edging and the excellent parchment craftsmanship on it proved that this invitation was definitely not a cheap, easily forged product.

"interesting."

Ye Xiao fiddled with the expensive invitation.

"Hehe, sir, pirates always like to do these fancy but impractical things."

Big Tooth Brother adopted a respectful demeanor.

"Let me see, the time is... tonight?"

Ye Xiao unfolded the letter in the invitation, skipping over the long string of polite platitudes, and went straight to the point, "Why isn't there a location?"

"The location was actually slightly encrypted in the letter."

Big Tooth picked up a quill pen and circled the first word of each line in the letter. "Banana Bay, this is the location pronounced in our pirate slang. After all, no matter how high-class it sounds, it's all shady stuff. It would be bad if the security guards intercepted the letter."

This guy with the big teeth was saying he had nothing to do with pirates, but the moment he was exposed, he suddenly became "one of us pirates," a transformation that was remarkably natural.

"Okay, then we'll have to rely on you to lead the way from now on."

Ye Xiao patted Big Tooth Brother on the shoulder.

"what?"

Big Tooth's mouth gaped open slightly, "I want to go too?"

"nonsense."

Ye Xiao shook the invitation in her hand. "It's for you, not me. How can you not go?"

Big Tooth Brother's face looked like he was about to cry.

But since we've decided to go, we should go all the way with the act.

Big Tooth Brother didn't want to be discovered on the spot with these two "outsiders" and then have everyone beaten to death by pirates from all over the world.

He had his men bring out his pirate-style equipment from the room and eagerly presented it to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's family has a little rich girl, so naturally they wouldn't have things like Mao Daya's, but there was one sword among them that looked strangely familiar to him at first glance.

The sword was covered in dust, but after gently wiping it with a cloth, it was discovered that the hilt was inlaid with a deep blue gemstone. The scabbard was made of exquisite and ancient ebony, and when the blade was drawn from the scabbard, one could see the engraved intricate inscriptions on it.

This is at least a "precious" level weapon, something that would be in the treasury of the Loren royal family. How could this seemingly slovenly Big Tooth Brother have something like this?

Big Tooth Brother was also stunned when he saw the sword. "...How...how could this be here?"

"Do you recognize this sword?"

Ye Xiao asked curiously.

"I... well, that's all in the past."

Big Tooth hesitated, then said, "Sir, if you like it, you can take it, but please spare me and my underlings."

"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." Big Tooth Brother was quite diligent in preventing his group from being harmed.

"I told you I wouldn't do anything to you. What, do I look like the kind of person who would kill someone to cover it up?"

Ye Xiao held the sword in his hand and weighed it. Although it was a "precious" level weapon, it was still a level below the "epic" level Shadow Chaser at his waist, and it was even less comparable to Ella's unknown demon sword.

So he wasn't particularly interested in the thing; his main question was why he felt like he'd seen the sword somewhere before.

Regardless, it's always good to have it for now. The Shadow Chaser is too flashy as an epic weapon and it's easy to expose one's identity, especially since there's only one in the world. If possible, Ye Xiao hopes to reveal as little unnecessary information as possible.

"Then, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you two to pretend to be my... uh, pirates."

Seeing that Ye Xiao and Decari had changed their clothes, Big Tooth continued, "After all, it's a pirate gathering. If they weren't invited pirates, they would definitely stop you two."

“We understand.”

Ye Xiao naturally didn't care about such things. He was already pretending to be Agnes's knight. Big Tooth Brother was much better than Agnes as a leader. At least Big Tooth Brother would really consider his subordinates.

After tidying up, Big Tooth Brother selected two of his underlings and left the mansion with Ye Xiao and Dekali, heading to the location indicated on the invitation, "Banana Riverbank".

……

It was afternoon, and the pirate gathering scheduled for the evening had not yet begun, but Aslan's warships finally slowly approached the dock in front of Freeport.

They still use ancient wooden sailboats, but the intricate runes and surging magic on them proclaim their power to rival that of steel behemoths.

The sails blessed by the High Elves billowed in the waves, and the majestic ship, as imposing as a mountain, sailed into the harbor. On the prow, a huge golden griffin statue was entwined with emerald green ivy, the very symbol of the Aslan royal family.

There were a total of twelve ships, two of which were particularly large and served as the main ships, while the other ten were small and medium-sized escort ships.

This formation is the size of a fleet. If it were just to pick up Prince Aslan and take him home, it would not be necessary to have so many ships.

Torred stood on the long plank in the harbor, his forehead beaded with cold sweat as he looked around.

While there may be internal competition among the Aslans, their fierce protectiveness of their own is well-known worldwide.
