Chapter 79 Exchange News
"Justice" Audrey was very interested in the matter of the pirate general, and asked in cooperation:
"What's his name? What's his current title? There's no similar news about Backlund."
"The Hanged Man" Alger nodded slowly and said:
"She's a lady, she was a famous pirate before, Tracy the 'Sick Girl', you should have heard of it?"
"No, I don't know much about this." Audrey shook her head honestly.
Me too... Klein the Fool, who was at the top, echoed in his heart.
Alger was silent for two seconds, and without wasting time explaining, he said directly:
"In short, she subdued Qilingos' fleet last month, and proved with practical actions that she has the strength of a pirate general. She renamed Qilingos' ship 'Black Death' and claimed to be 'Vice Admiral of Disease'. '."
"She used to act alone, and was good at using curses, black fire, and frost. People who were hostile to her would always suffer from sudden illnesses, various diseases. No one knows which path she belongs to, but they are sure that she Located at the level of Sequence 5."
"Justice" Audrey listened with relish, blinked her eyes, and asked curiously:
"Mr. Hanged Man, can you introduce the situation of the four pirate kings and the other six pirate generals in detail? I have only heard their names and nicknames, but I don't know what extraordinary abilities they have."
Alger looked around and saw that the "sun" and "world" were both in a listening posture, so he nodded slightly and said:
"no problem."
"The most powerful pirate king is 'King of the Five Seas' Nast. He claims to be a descendant of the Solomon Empire in the fourth era. Not only is he a high-sequence powerhouse, but he also owns the terrifying ghost ship 'Black Emperor' left by the empire. , he is good at using order, he can pull the enemy to fight in the field he is best at, and create all kinds of unimaginable effects..."
"He is also the oldest pirate. It is said that he has been active in the five seas in the post-Roselle era more than a hundred years ago. No one knows how old he is."
"Of course, compared to another king of pirates, he has enough information. As for the owner of the 'Dawn', we only know that she is a beautiful woman who used to be a wizard and is now a demigod. Half-human domain, her title is 'Queen of Mystery'.
"
...
After introducing the "Four Kings", "The Hanged Man" Argel changed the topic to the remaining six pirate generals:
"The owner of the 'Black Tulip', Ludwell, was once a subordinate of the 'King of the Five Seas', and later became independent, calling himself the 'Admiral of Hell'. It is rumored that he has established some kind of connection with the Spiritual Cult. He is A powerful psychic who can drive all kinds of creatures in the spirit world, which is both terrifying and weird, and it is said that he also has a ring left by the ancient god of death."
"'Admiral of the Stars' Cattleya once followed the 'Queen of Mysteries', but the two sides almost broke up a long time ago. As for the reason for this incident, there are rumors in the sea that she joined a secret organization and angered' Queen of Mysteries', and according to the information I have received, this secret organization is the 'Mose Penance Order'."
Moss Ascetic Order... "Secret Peer" path... Hidden Sage... Klein suddenly thought of Old Neil's loss of control, and thought of the evil god who would whisper in the ear of a low-sequence Extraordinary on the same path.
This was the first time he knew the news of the Moss Penance Order in reality, not in books!
Then, "The Hanged Man" Alger introduced "Admiral of Blood" Senor, who was suspected of being a non-human evil spirit, and "Vice Admiral of the Deep" Hal Constantine, who had part of the blood of sea monsters, and called himself "Iceberg" Admiral Edwina Edwards and Lieutenant Dusk Bulatov Ivan.
"Thank you very much for your sharing. I heard it and started yearning for the sea." Audrey "Justice" said with anticipation, "I don't know when I will be able to really travel."
"No, Miss Justice, this is definitely not as beautiful as you imagined. In my opinion, it is a combination of blood, chaos, killing, desire, and fear." Argel poured cold water on it calmly.
Audrey nodded, then said:
"A serial murder case occurred in Backlund recently, with a total of 11 cases, but one of them was confirmed to be a copycat crime. The characteristic of this serial murder case is that it targets women who used to be street girls but currently have regular jobs. The murderer will cut open their stomachs and take out all their internal organs."
"It sounds like it has something to do with worshiping demons. It was done by the Blood Worshipers?" "The Hanged Man" Argel guessed instantly.
"I don't know. The murderer hasn't been found yet." Audrey wished she could become a detective and take Susie to catch that nasty guy.
At this moment, Derrick "The Sun" blurted out in a daze:
"I know the ritual."
he knows? That’s right, before the cataclysm, especially during the Second Era, demons were active in the real world and on the ground, and they were the objects of hatred from both giants and dragons. It’s normal that there are corresponding records in the City of Silver...they His history has not been hidden or tampered with, nor has it been dated... Klein looked at the "sun" thoughtfully, waiting for him to say more.
"You know?" Audrey "Justice" happily asked.
Derrick nodded:
"As mentioned in our 'demonology' textbook, it is quite ancient, and it is a ritual used by demons to help them advance. It often appears from Sequence 6 to Sequence 5."
"It's not a ritual to please the devil, but a ritual used by the devil to help him advance?" Audrey asked rather surprised.
Derrick replied very seriously:
"Yes, the Sequence 6 of the 'Abyss' pathway is called 'Devil', and this is also the source of their family name."
"Abyss" way? Before the Great Cataclysm, the "Devil" pathway was called the "Abyss" pathway, and "Devil" was just the name of Sequence 6... Could it be... Sequence 0, Abyss? Klein once again discovered the value of classmate "Sun".
A lot of knowledge and secrets that have been lost in the long river of history still exist in the City of Silver!
"That's it..." Audrey nodded slightly, "Mr. Sun, do you know the specific content of this ceremony?"
Derrick nodded and said:
"The minimum is 13 people, and the maximum is 49. The more complete the ceremony, the more hopeful you will be promoted."
"There should be an interval of at least three days between two killings, otherwise it will easily get out of control, but the interval should not exceed nine days, as that will reset the ritual."
"After every murder and every part of the ritual, the demon will eat the victim's internal organs. From then on, he will always be in a state of rage and bloodthirsty, wanting to hurt others, until that desire is satisfied again."
"It's really scary..." Audrey sighed sincerely, feeling that she couldn't even bear to imagine it.
Klein sat in the thick gray fog, listening silently, remembering it in his heart.
After discussing the serial murder case, "Justice" Audrey looked at Alger, organized the conversation:
"Mr. Hanged Man, there is one thing that I have been wondering about."
"I have attended several Extraordinary gatherings, and found that very few people sell potion formulas. Even if there are, it is difficult to make a deal. Why?"
"The Hanged Man" Alger said with a low laugh:
"Because potion formulas are easy to fake, and Extraordinary gatherings are relatively hidden and not very binding, so no one dares to risk their own lives. Can you still prepare two Extraordinary materials and use animals to make them first?" An experiment? That's too expensive."
"..." Audrey suddenly felt guilty.
"Moreover, the additional cost is more than that. After taking the potion, animals are more likely to lose control than humans. You have to hire a few Extraordinary to protect yourself so as not to die in the experiment. Therefore, for most Extraordinary , Even if there is a formula, I dare not buy it." Alger added.
"..." Audrey felt even more guilty.
"The Hanged Man" Argel didn't pay attention to her reaction, and continued:
"Because of this, unless the party host or a certain member has the ability to identify the authenticity of the potion formula, and has won the trust of most members, it is difficult to trade the formula."
Well, old Mr. "Eye of Wisdom" can do it... Mr. A is a shepherd, so he should be able to do it too... Klein leaned back in his chair and muttered a few words to himself without opening his mouth.
"Justice" Audrey had a flash of thought, and asked casually:
"Can't it be done by making an oath?"
"My dear lady, this is an underground gathering. Do you think it is appropriate to make an oath in the name of the seven orthodox gods? This cannot be resolved by a simple oath, and there must be a corresponding ceremony." "The Hanged Man" Argel chuckled He said, "As for the evil gods, demons and hidden existences such as 'Hidden Sage' and 'True Creator', if they are not their believers, who dares to swear in their name and hate that they died not fast enough?"
Having said that, he suddenly sighed:
"In addition, if you don't understand the 'playing method', the potion is easy to cause loss of control, and it is easy to turn people into monsters. The corresponding materials are difficult to obtain and are quite expensive. Therefore, as long as the seven major churches do not allow similar transactions Obtaining official certification will prevent the large-scale spread of potion formulas without deliberate control, let alone popularization."
"So that's how it is..." Audrey murmured to herself, solving a big doubt in her heart.
No wonder... Klein was also stunned.
Seven orthodox gods? Derrick "The Sun" really wanted to ask who were the seven, but in the end he cautiously held back.
He thought about it and said:
"The City of Silver recently organized an exploration into the depths of the darkness, and found a half-destroyed temple. The god enshrined in it was a naked man crucified upside down, with a lot of blood smeared on its body. "
"Do you know which god this is?"
This is... "True Creator"! There is actually a temple of the "True Creator" in the Land Abandoned by God! And looking at the meaning of "sun", before the cataclysm, there should be no "true creator", otherwise, it is impossible for the City of Silver not to recognize it! Klein used the ability of "Joker" to control his expression, so as not to show his shock.
"Justice" Audrey, "The Hanged Man" and "The World" each looked at each other, then shook their heads and said:
"we do not know."
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard Mister Fool in the gray mist say in a low voice:
"This is the 'Fallen Creator'."
