Xiao Man and the other two followed the maintenance robot aboard the ship that looked like a transport starship, but was actually a smuggling starship.

Although this starship was well disguised, as an experienced starship captain who traveled around the empire all year round, Xiao Man could tell at a glance that this starship was unusual.

And how could a starship that appears in such a remote star field be an ordinary transport starship?

If it weren't for the fact that their starship was scrapped, the communication system was unusable, and the two armed starships might come back at any time, Xiao Man would not have agreed to board a stranger's starship.

The four of them looked relaxed on the surface, but in fact they followed the maintenance robot with great vigilance.

They all carry weapons, and if they find anything wrong, they will immediately draw their weapons.

After being taken by the robot to a place with four rectangular tables that looked like a starship restaurant, Xiao Man finally met the person in charge of the starship.

Contrary to their expectations, there were only two people, a man and a woman.

The man has an inhumanly beautiful face, with short golden and silver hair shining brightly under the light of the energy lamp, and a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. The woman, on the other hand, looks underage and has a round face.

The round face, big eyes, and long pink hair were looking at them curiously.

When they were less than five meters away, Xiao Man and the four of them felt the fear coming from their blood.

That's the fear of being pressured by a pureblood.

Suddenly cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the four of them, and the other three stopped in place, their whole bodies stiff and did not dare to move.

Only Xiao Man stepped forward with difficulty until he was about two meters away from the two of them. He put his right hand on his chest with a slight trembling, and bowed to the two of them.

"Thank you Your Highness for taking us in. We are extremely grateful for your tolerance and generosity."

After saying that, Xiao Man didn't dare to get up, so he could only bend down and wait quietly.

Cold sweat had soaked the clothes on her back, and there was a buzzing in her ears.

God knows how much effort it took for her to take these few steps and speak a complete sentence without trembling in her voice.

She never expected to see a pure-blood His Highness on this starship.

If she had known that she would meet such a terrifying being, even if she had to stay in the scrapped starship for half a year waiting for rescue, she would not have agreed to board the starship.

In her perception, purebloods are superior and the most untouchable beings, and they are the ones she cannot afford to offend.

After running missions for so many years, she has served many 'special groups', but her highest bloodline is nothing more than a declining marquis.

Although this mission was issued by the Council of Elders, the 'special group' to be escorted were not of very high bloodline. At least there was only one earl on Xiao Man's starship, and he was an elven earl.

It is impossible for a 'special group' of low bloodline like her to see a pure-blood His Highness in person in their lifetime, let alone such a close contact.

Shu Shu looked at the woman in front of her curiously. Through the mental recognition method taught by Simon, she could sense the meager bloodline in the woman.

She is a werewolf, but her bloodline is very low.

"Why are you here? Why are you being chased by two armed starships?" Simon asked in a steady voice.

But the voice was wrapped in the pressure of pure blood, like a huge mountain, making the three of them almost breathless.

Unable to bear the pressure, she knelt down on the ground.

Xiao Man didn't know what happened to the three people behind her, but she felt like there was something heavy on her back, very heavy.

She was so pressed that she couldn't straighten up, and it took all her strength to maintain the ninety-degree bow.

Just when Xiao Man felt that he could no longer hold on any longer, a clear and sweet sound that sounded like the sound of nature to Xiao Man's ears came from the front.

"Your Majesty, you scared them."

Xiao Man felt his body light up, and the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared. His body couldn't adapt for a while, and he fell forward to the ground.

Just as she was about to get up, a pair of soft hands helped her up.

Looking up, Xiao Man saw a baby face looking at her with concern.

"Are you okay?" Shu Shu asked.

Xiao Man shook his head quickly, then waved his hand to indicate that he did not need support, and climbed up from the ground using his hands and feet.

"No...it's okay..."

Not only the sound, Xiao Man's legs were shaking and he almost lost his balance.

"You should be the captain of that starship, right?" Shu Shu asked with a smile.

Xiao Man nodded slightly and secretly glanced at the man who was still sitting in his original position.

The pressure just now was really terrifying.

Xiao Man felt frightened when he thought of the girl in front of him calling the man Duke.

The duke's pressure is so terrible, what about the prince?

Xiao Man couldn't imagine that she just wanted to leave here quickly.

Shu Shu then asked: "What is your name?"

"Xiao...Man, you can call me Xiaoman." Xiao Man lowered his head and said respectfully.

Although this girl didn't have any blood pressure, she could act so calmly in front of a Duke, and Xiao Man didn't dare to neglect her.

Shu Shu smiled and nodded: "Why were you chased here by those two armed starships?"

This time Xiao Man did not hesitate and told everything he knew.

Although Xiao Man signed a confidentiality agreement when he accepted the mission, there is a Duke sitting here, so he should be related to the Presbyterian Council, and maybe he knows about this mission. Telling the Presbyterian Council the content of the mission should not be a problem.

Probably...

Xiao Man felt uneasy, but she was here, even with the three behind her, let alone taking out weapons, she had no idea of ​​resisting.

You can only bow your head in front of strong power. This is the experience Xiao Man has accumulated from running missions for so many years.

After listening to Xiao Man's story, Shu Shu turned around and looked at Simon.

This thing is a bit strange...no, I should say very strange.

The Elders Council issued a mission to find a group of scattered individual starships to escort a group of "special groups" with low bloodline. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be an impossible task.

Not to mention that each family in the Presbyterian Church owns a large number of starships. There is really no way to send a fleet to pick up people. You can also directly find a transportation company to hire an entire fleet instead of looking for these scattered individual starships.

Assemble a fleet.

Unexpectedly, the fleet was attacked not long after setting off. Shu Shu felt that the Presbyterian Council did this on purpose.

The entire fleet, including Xiao Man and others who received the mission, were all bait thrown by the Presbyterian Council.

Used to lure enemies.

But, what happens next?

After being lured out, why did they not counterattack, but allowed the two armed starships to attack the fleet?

What is the purpose of the Presbyterian Church in doing this?

Shu Shu really couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Man saw that both of them were silent for a while after she finished speaking. She secretly raised her head and glanced at the two of them.

"Well... if there is nothing else, can we return to our starship?" Xiao Man felt that he had used all his courage to say this.

Shu Shu came back from her thoughts, shook her head and said, "You can't go back."

"Why?" Xiao Man asked in surprise.

Could it be that they were kidnapped by the Duke?

No, they came up on their own, and how could a Duke kidnap them?

Xiao Man felt annoyed that he had come up with such an unrealistic idea.

She felt that her head must have been hit by a starship to have such thoughts.

Shu Shu didn't know what Xiao Man was thinking. She pointed to the only window in the restaurant that faced the outside and said: "We have left that area and should now enter the Olga galaxy.

It would be too dangerous to go back."

In one sentence, Xiao Man and others completely gave up the idea of ​​repaying the abandoned starship.

Now that we have crossed the border, we are likely to be stopped by the Imperial Army on the way back.

really,

It's too dangerous.

*

Not long after entering the Orga galaxy, Alfred informed Shu Shu that the connection was successful.

Shu Shu was very happy at the thought of being able to contact her eldest sister and second sister again.

For more than half a year, although Shu Shu had no access to the Internet, she used other methods to pass on the news.

For example, write a program to some robots around people running to the Olga Galaxy. As soon as they arrive in the Olga Galaxy and connect to the empire's network, they will automatically send out several messages.

At the beginning, Shu Shu would find a robot that was about to leave the Schiller Galaxy and write the same program almost every other day.
