I Have Accomplished Nothing, So I Can Only Become the Pirate King

Chapter 2 The sea has no lid

Sage always thought that this woman was the bandit leader nearby. After all, there were so many bandits here that one could encounter one per kilometer on average.

“It turns out not to be the case. I was thinking just now. She is very good-looking and has a good temperament. Why doesn’t she look like a bandit? It turns out she is a princess. Wait a minute.”

Sagar discovered the blind spot and looked at Lily: "You are the royal family, and the one who issued the reward is also the royal family. In other words, dog bites dog?"

 “I’m not a dog!”

Lily's teeth were about to break, "He is! He is a traitor! He is a usurper, and he is the most evil person in the world!"

"oh"

 Sage nodded, suddenly pressed her shoulder, and asked her to deflect a little and continue walking straight.

 Going astray.

"It took me three days to get here from the Royal City, but if you walk in a straight line, it won't take that long and you won't get hurt again. Let's stay up all night and we can arrive there tomorrow morning," Sage said.

Lily was stunned, the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and she looked at Sage like this. Until half an hour later, she still couldn't help it.

 “Aren’t you curious?”

 “What are you curious about?”

 “Royal bounty”

"Absolutely not."

Sage shook his head: "I want to be a wealthy landowner who exploits people, not a savior who wants to take care of everything. Asking your name is mainly for commemoration, and I am not interested in other things."

 “You really are.”

 Lily sighed, "You don't look like a strong person at all."

“After all, I never think I’m very strong.” Sage smiled.

 Having plug-ins does not mean you are invincible.

Even if he didn’t quite remember the plot, he still knew the famous strong men in this sea.

That is an existence that can destroy heaven and earth at every turn.

Sag can deal with people, but he can't do it to cause great damage to an island or even change the weather.

"Yeah."

 Lily murmured something, closed her mouth, and walked forward in silence.

 There was obviously unwillingness on her face, but also more stubbornness.

 Between the two of them, apart from silence, there was only the sound of footsteps as they walked.

 Until the sound of more hurried footsteps broke the silence.

 “Stop!”

Several men with knives jumped out of the woods and surrounded them. A tall man at the head said fiercely: "Hand over the money!"

These people were all in ragged clothes and had disheveled faces. Although they were holding swords, it was obvious that their hands were shaking and their eyes were hesitating.

Like this, Sag has seen many of their kind in the past few days.

Bandits.

Sage sighed and said faintly: "Let me tell you, do you think I have a pocket all over my body? How can I pay for it if I don't have a pocket? I'm poorer than you, at least you still have a knife." ”

“Young Master, the sword on your waist looks very expensive at first glance, and that woman looks like a noble too!”

The bandit boss said fiercely: "Hand over the money, or I will kill you!"

 “Boss, that’s not right, look at that woman”

At this moment, a bandit came over and took out a reward order that looked very familiar to Sage, and compared it carefully with Lily.

"It's her! Boss, catch her and we'll have money!" the bandit said excitedly.

 “One million Baileys!”

The bandit leader's eyes almost went straight as he pointed the big knife at Sage, "We want this woman, get out of here quickly, or I'll kill you!"

"don't want."

Lily suddenly spoke.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Sage suddenly disappeared in front of them and turned into an afterimage that flashed in front of them.

This afterimage was extremely fast, and in just a split second, it was behind them again.

At this moment, both the bandit boss who raised his sword and those bandits with astonished expressions were frozen in place, as if they had been petrified, completely motionless.

Sarge turned around and walked up to the immobilized bandit boss and patted him on the shoulder, "Everyone is suffering. If you want to rob me, don't rob me. I still hope to rely on this woman to realize my dream."

As he spoke, he picked up the iron wine bottle hanging on the bandit's waist, opened the cap and took a sip.

 “Tsk, this wine is really bad!”

Sarge exhaled, "You will be able to move in half a day. Please be careful next time. Taking someone away also depends on your strength."

Lily walked up to Sage automatically at this time, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Thank you."

"I'm just not interested in Kuhaha. They are all poor, and there is no reward, so there is nothing to deal with."

Sage asked: "In your country, there is the treasure of the Bandit King?" Lily was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "I have never heard of any rumors about the treasure."

“Without treasure, how could there be so many bandits?” Sage said.

Lily looked gloomy and whispered: "The taxes are too heavy and the citizens can't survive. They became bandits because they had no other choice."

 “Huh?” Sage was stunned for a moment.

 “Don’t you understand?”

Lily said excitedly: "They can't afford the heavy taxes, so."

“So the sea is not covered, and the local people cannot survive, so they just go out to sea.”

Sage said: "I have never heard that the Kingdom of Oykot prohibits people from going to sea."

 He is a typical person who goes to sea only when he cannot survive. As long as there is still money left for him to use, he may still be thinking of ways to start a business.

Lily's eyes suddenly widened with a look of surprise that even Sage was startled.

"You haven't thought about it, right?" Sage asked strangely.

In the Age of Great Pirates, people went to sea for various reasons, and the majority of them went to sea because they could not survive.

 People here would rather be bandits than go to sea?

The East China Sea is not a great sea route. The climate here is so normal that even a child can make a raft and go out to sea.

 If you can’t survive, just leave.

 “Go to sea.”

The girl's eyes widened for a moment, but then lowered, and she said: "There was a pirate war in the Kingdom of Oiket. Everyone hates people who go to sea, and they will not go to sea easily."

 …

Biendetta Lilly, now sixteen, is the royal princess of the Ouikot Kingdom and the next heir to the kingdom, if nothing else.

Ouikot is a war-torn country, especially after the navy and pirates fought a war here more than 20 years ago. It has never been stable. It was not until Lily's father became the king that the country got better.

It's just that Lily's father died in an accident when she was born, and the improved situation naturally disappeared and became as corrupt as before. And her mother not only failed to find a way to turn the tide when the kingdom was in chaos. , instead found a new husband and became Lily’s ghost stepfather!

Lily's mother also died not long after her second marriage. The stepfather used the excuse that she was still young to naturally take the name of the Biendetta family, became the king, took over the chaotic situation, and then became Even more messy!

He can't be said to be a talented person, at least he doesn't do things well.

 In short, under his rule, Ouikot became increasingly chaotic, with bandits running rampant and bandits everywhere. Such a chaotic environment lasted for more than ten years.

 Lily grew up in this environment, and she had a strong desire to save the country, so one day half a year ago, she brazenly assassinated the usurper.

 Then a reward was put on her head.

 Then, he was caught by Sage.

 “You are very unlucky.” Sage showed an angry look.

"You" Lily felt moved in her heart when she saw his expression of not feeling worth it.

 Is he willing to help himself?

"A royal princess, or a royal princess who assassinated the king, is only worth one million Baileys." Sage said angrily: "It's worth ten million, maybe twenty million!"

  Is this the unlucky one?

Lily couldn't help but rolled her eyes, but the impulse in her heart emerged strongly at this moment.

This man might be able to

 “Stop.” Sage suddenly stretched out his hand.

 Lily was stunned, "I didn't say anything."

“Your eyes are full of stories, and what I don’t like the most is listening to stories.”

Sage waved his hand, "You just want me to help you regain the throne, or help citizens go to sea. What a heavy tax, it's overwhelming. I don't have that kind of free time, and your family is not the only one who has suffered on the sea. , I’m in a lot of trouble too, why don’t you help the person in front of you first, and let me arrest you first to receive the reward.”

His finally started his career as a bounty hunter, but he still needs this woman to get the first shot!

Seeing this, Lily also closed her mouth and stopped talking.

 The two of them walked so quickly and disappeared silently into the mountains and forests.

 …

The next day, before the sun was close to the center, Sage took Lily to the royal city.

The royal city of Ouikot is a medieval town in the 17th and 18th centuries. However, the town is very clean. The streets are lined with rows of colorful two- and three-story buildings with many shops. There is also a large square in the city center with a The tall bell tower, higher than the city wall, is Ouikot's landmark building.

If you didn't see the bandits all over the mountains and plains, it would be a peaceful town.

　　Take Lily into the royal city, and after informing the soldiers guarding the city, the soldiers took Sage and Lily to the palace.

Originally, Sage had made various preparations. This princess was very beautiful and had a strong desire to save the country. She should be quite popular.

Such as the city guard saw the princess and wanted to use a knife on Sage, or the citizens saw the princess and frantically stopped him, etc. This kind of plot where a country's princess was hated by others did not happen.

But everyone followed with great interest to watch the fun.

 As he reached the huge steps leading to the palace, Sage finally couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you a princess? This posture doesn't look like I know you."

 “I have never left the palace.”

Lily, who had been silent, finally spoke. She stared at the huge steps and said in a deep voice: "I have been controlled in the palace since I was a child. Naturally, no one knows me. Everyone in the palace is that man's subordinate. I know I heard all the news from them!”

Sage also looked towards the steps. On the huge empty steps, a group of figures gradually appeared.

 Divided into two groups.

One group is a group of soldiers from the kingdom of Ouikot, guarding one person, and the other group is a group of marines wearing white uniforms.
