Chapter 4 For the Alliance (7)
The evening breeze blows across the sea, and the fishy smell of fish is faintly mixed with the aroma of grilled fish.
Ella and Ravi were sitting on the deck, holding a grilled fish and stuffing it into their mouths frantically. Ravi’s mouth was stuffed with bulging, and even the fish bones were stuffed in. After swallowing all the fish, she spitted the fish bones outward, burped, and then touched her round belly and said, “It’s great, I thought I was going to be tied up with stones and thrown into the sea. Fortunately, it’s your ship of the Swedish king.”
This little girl named Ravi was met by Ella in the alchemy laboratory in the British Dan. She showed her amazing talent in turning a crowbar into a snake at a young age. This time, as an alchemist, she was recommended to Alfred by Dan and sent to the Alchemy Academy in Gotland for further study. Paracelsus gave her a golden crowbar on behalf of Ella to express her expectations for her future. She, who has attracted everyone's attention, will become an important official of Alfred as long as she successfully graduated from the Alchemy Academy and returned to Britain.
"So, Ravie," Amy stared at the little uninvited guest, quite unhappy, "What are you trying to hide in the box?"
You know, the moment when Ravi jumped out of the box, Amy almost took her away as an assassin. By the way, the box should have avocados as goods, but it seemed that Ravi had finished eating it.
But Ravi didn't seem to notice the unhappiness in Amy's words at all and replied bluntly; "To smuggle home!"
Before Aila finished eating the fish in her hand, she turned her face and asked vaguely with her oily mouth: "Why are you smuggling back to the armor around her?"
"Because all the students in the Alchemy Academy chase me and fight me! If you don't run quickly, the world's greatest alchemist will be damaged before becoming famous and will be disabled for life!"
"I understand, it's all because of His Majesty's 'Academic Exchange Conference'." Amy couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the little girl. "Indeed, if you just entered school, it's very normal to think of running away when you see that scene."
"I am a freshman and I didn't attend the academic exchange meeting!"
"Then why...?"
"Because I lacked money, I couldn't afford to buy experimental materials! I sneaked into their laboratory and took all the materials in their laboratory to do my own experiments! I accidentally burned several laboratories!"
"Oh oh oh I understand! The alchemy test is super expensive and dangerous! I have burned Hestein's home before..."
Ravi said it with confidence, the key point is that Ella also nodded with her grilled fish in her face.
Amy swore that she would never feel sympathy for the alchemist again.
"Even if you want to go home, why do you hide in the box on this ship?" She glared at Ravi, "There are many ships going to and from Gotland, so just find one?"
"Because I have no money! I can't afford it!"
"You can't even pay the shipping fee? Where are your money? Are you a student sent by Alfred?? Is there a subsidy?"
"Gotram is too dangerous. The streets are full of delicious and fun things I have never seen before. I accidentally spent the money! Even if I haven't spent it, I can't do a few experiments! The money in our family was completely lost by my father's experiments before I came to Gotram. Before I came to Gotram, the materials for the experiments were stolen from Dan's laboratory!"
"You were driven to Gotland by Dan because of this, right?"
"It's okay, Ravi, it's the same where to do experiments." Ella patted her shoulder and comforted her, "When I arrive in Normandy, I can buy whatever experimental materials you want, and I will pay the money! Even if I want gold and silver as materials, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I will take the bill to ask Alfred for reimbursement in the future!"
"I said why did Your Majesty suddenly be so generous? It turned out that he was looking for someone to reimburse him?" Amy was shocked again, "No, Your Majesty, this little guy looks like a trouble no matter how he looks. We can't take her to Normandy, we have to send her back!"
"Is that so? I think Ravi is normal?" Ella looked up at Amy, "and the ship is already running, and will be sent back to Gotland, and will we be exposed soon?"
"Then just find the next port and throw her down!"
"Amy, how could you treat a poor little girl like this..."
"Where is poverty? Your Majesty, please take a closer look. She is holding a golden crowbar in her hand! It's pure gold! It's enough for ordinary people to live for three or four lives!"
Hearing this, Ravi screamed and hugged the golden crowbar tightly in his arms, looking at Amy as if he was looking at a bad guy. Ahra, who was beside him, also looked at her with the same look; "I actually wanted to sell the crowbar that is equivalent to our lives for money. Amy, have you been in Aztland for a long time and have become a sadist?"
"So, why!!!"
The alchemist appreciates each other, and Ella is unwilling to leave Ravi. Amy can't stand it, so she can only compromise and treat Ravi as a member of the mission.
The merchant ship sailed towards Normandy and had no trouble. A few days later, they successfully arrived at the port of Normandy.
Ella jumped off the boat first: "Arrival safely! Look, Amy, even if the master is no longer, we have successfully escaped Hestein's surveillance!"
"I think Hestein doesn't mean to monitor you at all... By the way, he must be furious now. Will he be honest and follow His Majesty's instructions to attract attention for His Majesty?"
"This is to mention the letter I left him!" Ella waved her fingers in the air with smugness, "I didn't say I was coming to Normandy, but said that my cargo ship was robbed and wanted to fight against pirates. I deliberately added, 'The cargo on the ship is mine, don't think about coming over and robbing it!', to convince him that it was true. Then, I used all my literary talent to praise him for three full pages, and finally asked him to help me with the Allmani Federation. This way, he would hand over the diplomatic authority to him, and he would not refuse. No matter how smart he was, he would not have thought that when he walked slowly on the road, I had arrived at Versailles! How about it, this is my "Triumph" super-class strategy!"
"Your Majesty, speak softly..." Amy poked Ella from the side, "Look, does the man walking towards us look like Hestein?"
——"Sepia, I've been waiting for you here for two days."
The man walked to Ella, with a burly head like a bull on his body, and his eagle-like eyes staring at Ella fiercely. There was no doubt that he was Hestein, the "king of beasts" of the pirate kingdom.
"This...this is impossible!" Ella's expression seemed to see a ghost, "Why have you arrived in Normandy?"
"I figured it out when I found you missing on the debate day. To visit Versailles, landing from Normandy is the closest way. And you and the Duke of Normandy have passed the messenger recently. So it is highly likely that it is here."
Ella's merchant ship was far faster than the long ship of the Pirate Kingdom, so Hestein set out late but arrived in Normandy first.
"Your Majesty, your 'super-class strategy'..."
"Gu... Hestein, have you actually seen through the lies in my letter?"
