Chapter 839: Female Captive

Elizabeth swore she would never trust the fairy tales told by wandering poets again.

In the countryside, the songs passed on had described the adventures at sea as a game that was filled with excitement and mystery while having high returns.

Even pirates were given the heroic image of robbing the rich to feed the poor. They were gentlemanly, pursued freedom, and pitted their wits and courage against all kinds of evils.

Furthermore, there were published novels that specialized in this field, even being best sellers at one point.

In the fantasies of the numerous inland girls who had been duped, a real pirate was similar to a knight of the sea. The most distinct image of them was that they had handsome features and well-built bodies while also being young and rich.
