Chapter 699 Ghost Ship

When everyone fell silent because of the aftermath of the Backlund smog incident, Xifa glanced at Miss Justice without a trace, thinking of the background of this noble daughter, her emotions and positions were naturally biased toward the nobles and the royal family.

But now, through Klein's words, she knows that behind the Backlund smog incident and the missing persons case, there may be a certain faction of the royal family or some military figures.

In this way, it must be a blow to her.

But this is also good, through Tarot, she will slowly change her mind bit by bit, let her understand that the world is not black and white, and there is also shady darkness in the royal family and nobles.

Let her gradually and subtly change her position and views. With the deepening of the smog incident in the future, when she finally has to take action against certain figures in the royal family or nobles, Miss Justice will not fall into conflicts, and even do things. Come out about betraying the Tarot Society.

It seems that Klein also thought about it, only to hear the 'World' say frankly: "On the night of the death of 'Crazy Captain', there was a high-sequence powerhouse on board who was suspected to be of the 'Dark Emperor' pathway, but this demigod was in Yan Court. Man managed to escape before arriving."

A high-sequence powerhouse of the 'Dark Emperor' pathway.

Being able to escape successfully before the demigod Neptune arrived, the opponent is not simple, and is probably also a demigod.

The Loen royal family controls the 'Dark Emperor' pathway.

After these clues are connected, it is not difficult to think of the possibility that the royal family of Loen was involved behind this incident.

Xifa let out a breath and said, "I'll let the relations at sea track this matter down and see what we can find."

"The Hanged Man" also followed suit: "I will also try my best to investigate this matter."

"The Hermit" Cattleya also said: "If there are more clues to provide, maybe I can help."

The matter of the "crazy captain" has come to an end for the time being.

Then, the free exchange continued for a while, until Derrick "The Sun" finished learning the ancient Hermes words for this week, and this week's gathering came to an end.

After waking up in the captain's cabin, Xifa moved his body while reminiscing about the information he had just obtained in the Tarot meeting.

If you follow the line of human trafficking at sea, you may be able to follow the clues and find evidence of the royal family's involvement after the great smog in Backlund.

Xifa is different from Klein.

He directly knew the truth of the Great Smog incident from the watchers, and knew that the real reason was that George III caused all this to happen in order to promote the True God, but the problem was that he had no evidence, so he couldn't reveal the matter all at once.

Now that Klein discovered the 'Crazy Captain', he noticed that the royal family or nobles were involved behind the smog incident. This is a good sign.

If he finds some more evidence, perhaps in the subsequent Tarot Club, he can naturally guide everyone, let them know the truth, and prepare early.

Xifa believes that Klein, like himself, absolutely cannot agree with George III's approach.

However, this involves the level of the true god, and he knows that he should not be in a hurry, nor should he disclose it too early, so as not to bring unnecessary danger to the members of the Tarot Society, especially those who live in Backlund.

In addition, now I know more secrets through previous messages. After knowing 'Adam', Xifa can be sure that the watcher who told him the truth about the smog at the beginning, the one he mentioned helped George III hide himself. , Who is the king of angels who was able to hide from the three major churches.

At that time, the watcher said that it was the existence at the top of the audience, as long as the name was mentioned, it would be known. Obviously, the king of angels was Adam!

George III's promotion event has the shadow of the Twilight Hermit Society, which is what they hoped, and George III's promotion will be related to the recovery of their lord!

And the Tarot Club, which is investigating this matter, will inevitably collide with that ancient organization in the end. This needs to be prepared, otherwise, before Mr. Fool becomes a real god, such a collision will be enough to make Tarot will perish!

This is also one of the reasons why Xifa did not make a shocking speech in the Tarot Club, and it is the more important reason.

"We must think long-term." Xifa said with a feeling.

Then I felt air flow in my ears, and Kardashian's voice sounded beside her: "What's the long-term plan?"

Sifer was startled, but she looked very calm. At the corner of her eyes, Kardashian who didn't know when she ran to his bed was sitting on the edge of the bed, reflecting Sifer's figure with her pair of amber eyes.

Xifa laughed dryly: "Demigod, I mean the promotion of demigod. You see, I have just established contact with the Jagged Cross, and I don't know when I will accumulate enough merits to exchange for the demigod potion."

Kardashian exchanged her legs, propped her face with one hand, and said nonchalantly, "Have you ever thought that maybe they weren't going to give you the potion in the first place?"

Of course I thought about this, so I actively collected relevant clues from other channels.

Xifa spread his hands: "Then do you have a better method? Or, do you have relevant clues?"

Kardashian shrugged her shoulders: "No, how about you switch to my path? You take me to see the teacher, and I can persuade the teacher to give you the demigod formula."

forget it.

'Hunter' and 'Reaper' are not adjacent paths, if I turn around, I will go crazy.

Besides, that teacher of yours may have gone crazy, I doubt whether you can communicate normally.

Xifa clenched his fists and coughed dryly: "This is an idea. If I can't be promoted to a demigod within the time we agreed, I will consider this method."

"Okay." Kardashian stood up and went out to bask in the sun.

tick tock

The sound of water droplets made Xifa "wake up" and realized that he was dreaming, in Ebrio's dream.

He saw the damp and dark stone prison, with water dripping from the corner of the wall, converging at one point and then dripping, so he continued to make the sound he heard just now.

This. Abrio was captured?

I remember the last time in a dream, he fell into the hands of Nast, who might not have become the 'King of the Five Seas' when he was young.

Now in prison again, Ebrio is out of luck.

At this moment, Ebrio sat up from the bed, which changed Sifa's vision. He saw the cold and uneven ground of the stone prison, and saw that Ebrio's hands and feet were chained with iron shackles.

There were footsteps coming from outside the cell, and a moment later, the flames appeared outside the door.

The door creaked open, and in the light of the fire, Cifer saw Ebrio's rival and boss, Lieutenant Connor.

The officer confessed to the soldiers outside: "Don't let anyone get close."

Then he entered the cell, took off his hat, and looked at Abrio with no expression: "Is this the result of your work?"

"It took you nearly half a year to finally get in touch with Nast, but others got there first, and even you yourself were caught as pirates."

"You know? Tomorrow, you will be executed."

Xifa heard Abrio say: "If you don't show up so soon, I will convince Nast as soon as possible, and I will have a chance to join his fleet."

"Don't complain to me, sir, we're not the only navy trying to catch Nast."

Lieutenant Connor covered his nose with a handkerchief and said, "Abrio, I just want to say that you are getting farther and farther away from Miss Greenwins, I don't think Mr. Occam is willing to marry his wife For you like this."

"Let me remind you that Miss Greenwins officially came of age last month. Mr. Occam wrote to me, hoping that I could marry his daughter as soon as possible."

"I'm still dragging him, but you should know I can't drag him for long."

"If you can't catch up with Nast as soon as possible, find out his whereabouts, dig out his secrets and report to me as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid this time next year, I can only invite you to the wedding."

Abrio stood up suddenly: "No, sir. I will find a way to find Nast, as long as you get me out of here."

Connor glanced at him: "Tomorrow, I will create an opportunity for you. Whether you can grasp it or not is up to you."

Leaving this sentence behind, the lieutenant turned and left the cell.

Next, the picture in front of Xifa's eyes became illusory and then shattered. When it became clear again, he saw the slightly undulating floor, as if he was on a certain boat. He saw a pair of clean boots and heard someone talking.

"Okay, let's get you back. Now, there is no more arrears between us."

This is Nast's voice!

Ebrio looked up now, and Sifer saw the tall figure, the hard-lined, black-bearded Nast, still young, wearing the minaret crown.

Then, Cifer heard Ebrio's voice: "Because I got shot for you during the last naval attack? No, I didn't even think about saving you. It was just a coincidence."

Nast said blankly: "Whether it's a coincidence or not, in short, I only do what I think I should do. Now, you can go."

After Abrio was silent for a while, Sifer saw his eyes rising and knew that he stood up, and then heard Abrio say: "You kill me."

Sifa thought he had heard wrong.

It was also found that Nast's demeanor changed slightly.

Then I heard Ebrio's self-report: "You attacked the execution ground, but only rescued me. If you were a navy, what would you think?"

Abrio didn't wait for Nast's response, so he went on speaking for him: "The navy will think that I am the companion of the great pirate Nast, and, more importantly, that's why the great pirate risked being arrested. Risk comes to the rescue."

"So although you saved me, it still hasn't changed my situation. As long as I land now, I will be caught in a short time and then sent to the execution ground again."

"Instead of this, it's better to die here."

Xifa heard a sneer, and then felt something cold and hard pressed against his temple, which was probably the muzzle of the revolver, and then he heard other pirates shout: "If you want to die so much, I'll make you happy now."

"etc."

Nast raised his hand and shook his head: "My original intention is to return the favor, to save him, and to let him live."

"It would be against my will to let him go ashore and be arrested by the navy, or let him die here."

"May I have your name?"

"Ebrio."

"Abrio, are you willing to be my crew?" Nast said solemnly.

Abrio sneered: "I won't kill people just to survive."

"Perhaps you don't know, I am different from other pirates. As long as we don't resist, we will not kill the prisoners. Besides, do you have any other choices now?"

"Don't you have a reason to live, even if there is only one?" Nast said in a low voice.

After a moment of silence, Abrio said: "One year, I will only stay on your ship for one year. After one year, the navy has forgotten me, and I will disembark."

Nast nodded slightly: "Yes."

The picture became dim and then broken, and Xifa's thoughts were no longer clear, becoming as confused as in a dream.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard someone whispering in his ear: "Wake up, wake up."

Xifa yawned and tried to open her eyes, only to see Kardashian showing a rare expression. She was anxious and there was deep fear in her eyes.

Xifa woke up and sat up on the bed: "What happened."

"Here, something terrible is coming." Kardashian looked at the window, and it was dark outside the window, and it was still night.

Xifa frowned, picked up his coat and put it on, checked his belongings, and walked out of the captain's cabin.

When he came to the deck, he found that the deck was filled with thick sea fog at some point, making the several horse lanterns hanging on the deck dim.

Suddenly, Xifa's inspiration was touched, he picked up a lantern next to him, held it as high as possible, and then looked to the left side of the ship.

In the thick fog over there, he could vaguely see a few spots of green, and not long after, a huge shadow appeared in the thick fog, as if a huge building was driving on the sea, and the 'Explorer' was in front of that shadow. Simply trivial.

Sifa's heart skipped a beat.

Ghost ship?

With such a scene, he couldn't help but think of the ghost ship that has been the most widely spread and most vicious among all kinds of rumors on the sea in the past few months!

Xifa hurriedly sounded the alarm bell, waking up the sleeping crew members, causing them to rush out of the cabin and onto the deck.

When they saw the shadow that was getting closer, everyone exclaimed. Nelson, who has become a 'sailor', pointed to the shadow ahead and looked at Sifa: "Captain, that...that is the ghost in various rumors recently Boat?"

"It's possible." Xifa ran towards the captain's cabin with a lantern in hand. "Heave the anchor, lower the sail, and see if you can avoid it. Also, get ready to fight!"

Nelson nodded vigorously, and opened his throat and shouted: "Move, don't stand still. Raise the anchor, lower the sail for me, and get the shells, get ready to fight! Get ready to fight!"

Xifa rushed into the captain's cabin, but Kardashian was nowhere to be seen, as if she had hidden herself out of fear.

Xifa didn't bother to look for her, and quickly took out candles and essential oils, set up a simple altar, summoned the 'spiritual treasure chest', and took out 'Devil May Cry' and the 'Ring of the Styx'.

The former restrains things in the realm of the undead, the dead, and the undead.

The latter has an extremely strong suppressive force on things in the above-mentioned fields.

If the two cooperate, even if they encounter a demigod in the undead realm, they will have a chance to fight back.

I don't know, what level and personality is the ghost ship encountered now?
