This pirate only wants to farm.

"Those pirates still dare to chase after us!"

Elizabeth, who had been somewhat dazed, suddenly became serious, and without any visible movement, she drew her longsword, her eyes gleaming like silver moonlight.

He looked completely different from before.

Elizabeth knew very well how terrifying these pirates were. Although they were all a bunch of level six or seven scum, their sheer numbers forced her to flee for her life.

Seeing Elizabeth's agitated state, as if she wanted to fight the pirates to the death immediately, Lynch stepped forward, pressed her wrist, and whispered, "Don't get excited, those guys won't catch up for a while."

Lynch's voice seemed to have a special magic; his gentle voice immediately calmed Elizabeth, who was initially a little nervous.

Elizabeth's heaving chest gradually calmed down, and she bit her lip: "Captain, they're coming for me..."

Boom!

"Ouch!"

Elizabeth clutched her head, screamed, and crouched on the ground.

Lynch glared at Elizabeth, shaking his aching knuckles. "Can't you use your brain? Where am I?"

Elizabeth, who was covering her head, paused for a moment, then jumped up, her face beaming with surprise: "That's right!"

"This is a terrifying and evil ghost ship; those filthy pirates are no match for you!"

"Uh, that's not what I meant..."

Elizabeth realized her mistake after she finished speaking and quickly explained with an embarrassed laugh.

Lin Qi was speechless at this clueless female swordsman. To say something like that to his face, she really wasn't afraid of throwing her into a fertile field.

Instead of worrying about what will happen if they catch up, think about why they are catching up in the first place.

Elizabeth was also somewhat annoyed with her own reaction; why was she afraid of pirates when she was on a ghost ship?

The main reason was that the captain seemed so approachable that she didn't feel he was a terrifying ghost ship captain at all, which is why she wasn't so nervous or scared just now.

However, after realizing what Lin Qi said, Elizabeth immediately noticed something was wrong.

Yes.

Why did these pirates chase after us?

Although the pirate ship was nowhere to be seen in the thick sea fog, Elizabeth had no doubt about the truth of what the other party said.

Shouldn't pirates just loot the merchant ships and then run away?

Why would you chase after a woman who has fallen into the water?

"Could it be that he's after my good looks!"

Seeing Elizabeth's increasingly grim expression, Lin Qi sighed, knowing he couldn't expect this foolish female swordsman to think about this matter.

"No matter how beautiful you are, you're not worth a group of pirates risking their lives to chase after you with their loot, especially since this is a calm sea."

"And have you considered that with the sea fog these past few days, how could they possibly find us?"

Elizabeth placed one hand directly on the longsword, her expression grave: "They're coming for me."

"So that means my encounter with pirates wasn't an accident at all..."

Seeing that the naive girl finally understood the situation, Lin Qi nodded with relief: "Now it seems that's indeed the case, and I suspect they have the ability to locate you."

He then looked at Elizabeth's gloomy face: "Wangcai told me that there are unusual magical fluctuations in the small box you brought."

Elizabeth's face drained of all color, and her body seemed to lose its support, causing her to stumble and nearly fall.

But Elizabeth stood up straight, bit her lip, and ran back to the cabin.

Wangcai looked at Elizabeth's somewhat disheveled figure and bit his finger with some concern.

"Squeak squeak".

Lin Qi shook his head slightly, his tone somewhat wistful: "She's not that fragile. She won't die on our ship. I think she guessed who was trying to harm her."

Wangcai tilted its head and looked at Lin Qi: "Squeak?"

Lin Qi curled his lip in disdain: "What's so curious about? There's nothing new under the sun. This girl is obviously of noble birth..."

"Isn't that all the petty stuff that nobles do?"

"Rights, titles, bloodlines, and property."

"It's the same old story over and over again, nothing new."

"Let's just focus on farming our land, and not care about nobles or anything like that."

Wangcai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Even the skull hanging on the mast swayed back and forth to show its stance.

Only Elizabeth, who was in the cabin, took out the small wooden box that she had always treasured from her bed.

Inside, there were several parchments and three or four dazzling gemstones of different colors.

However, the most dazzling item was an exquisite diamond necklace that shimmered with a mesmerizing light even in the dimly lit cabin.

However, upon closer inspection, one will discover a dangerous red spot shimmering at the very center of the gem.

"Brother John..."

"Aunt Fila..."

The thought of the two of them placing the necklace around her neck as she left, and the smiles on their faces, made Elizabeth's breathing painful.

Not long after, Elizabeth returned to the deck and stood before Lynch with her head down.

"Captain, this whole thing started because of me, I want to go myself..."

Before Elizabeth could finish speaking, Lynch flicked her head again.

"Ouch!"

Elizabeth held her head, looking at the terrifying ghost ship captain with a wronged and confused expression.

Lin Qi shook his slightly aching fingers and said irritably, "They've already prepared everything, and you're going to go up and deliver the food? Have you not shaken the seawater out of your head yet?"

Elizabeth opened her mouth, "But, but..."

Although Elizabeth only stayed on the ship for a day and was quite frightened, she knew that the captain in front of her was definitely not a bad person, much less one of those undead who loathe the living.

The ship was a bit scary, but the captain was her savior.

Elizabeth wasn't very good at thinking, but she knew it was a conspiracy against her, and she wanted to solve the problem herself.

Lin Qi waved his hand: "No buts. You are now my farmhand and my sailor. I will do whatever I say."

Lynch could see through Elizabeth's little scheme, but if he really let the farmhand go by himself, what if he got killed and Lynch had to take action?

It's not easy to find a strong farmhand who can smash bones.

Besides, whatever ends up in his field is his!

I'm counting on this silly girl to make fertilizer so he can level up faster.

Although Lin Qi disliked trouble, he could clearly distinguish between what was important and what was not. He hadn't even harvested the fledgling leeks yet, so how could he let them slip away like this?

Thinking of this, Lin Qi looked up at the skeleton still hanging on the mast and said, "Stop pretending, come down quickly, this time it has to be you."

The second skeleton shrugged helplessly, struggled for a while before finally untying the rope around its neck and jumping down.

Lin Qi gestured towards the stern of the ship with his chin: "Taking care of those shouldn't be a problem, right?"

The thick fog behind us remained, but we could already see a huge, blurry black shadow getting closer and closer in the fog, and the sound of oars slapping the water echoed the shouts of the boatmen.

Clearly, the pirate ship was not far away.
