Chapter 174 Distortion without Self

Chapter 174 Distortion without self...

It is not the individual who is immortal, but the hope that the world can live forever?

The goal of the Eternal Life Society is really unexpected...

But Wayne still had some doubts. After all, judging from the information obtained from various aspects, most of those members acted willfully like Claire, and their deeds made it difficult for him to associate the Eternal Life Society with such a goal.

"If immortality is what you say it is, I will seriously consider it."

What to consider?

Of course, I should consider making some appropriate contribution...

"I'm looking forward to it." Claire looked at him deeply, then turned to look at the guards at the stern of the ship.

Wei En nodded noncommittally and looked at the guards like her.

I have to say that the noble lady still has some abilities... Well, she also entered her identity very quickly.

"...To sum up, the cumbersome and useless etiquette of the nobles is not suitable for us. Therefore, I decided to design a set of etiquette actions for Lady Claire that are consistent with her status without losing the inherent rules to highlight the style of our escort! "

Although Wei An was wearing a less ornate protective leather armor, the training she had received since childhood had made her extremely charming in terms of her demeanor, movements, voice and tone of voice.

Elegant and dignified, without losing grace, this is probably a temperament that can only be cultivated by a family that has been passed down for many years.

In comparison, Claire, the "queen", and the women on the original Storm Hunter who were obviously not comfortable adapting to their new identities were a bit...

Well, pales in comparison?

That’s probably the word!

"What are you thinking about?" The newly appointed self-proclaimed queen noticed Wei En's blasphemous gaze and looked at him with an unkind expression.

"No, I just think that when their strength improves, they should be able to help you." Wei En touched his nose, "We are about to dock, let me check the situation there first."

"Hmph~"

Claire obviously didn't believe what he said, but she was quite satisfied with the new etiquette instructor.

Etiquette exclusive to her?

It sounds very good...

At this time, Second Officer Ronan trotted out and shouted to the two people on the observation deck: "Captain, first officer, Duckman Island has arrived!"

"Tell them to speed up. This ship will set sail before noon!"

"Don't worry, they will never dare to delay the captain's time!"

Ronan thought for a while and shouted to the pirates around him again: "Have you heard the captain's request? You must speed up. If you don't complete the task before noon, don't think about getting on the ship again!"

"Yes, captain, first mate, second mate!"

The pirates on the deck were very energetic. They were carrying iron barrels for storing oil and fresh water and stacked them on the side of the ship. They could go to the island to purchase supplies as soon as the steamer stopped.

After Wei En finished his instructions, he looked towards the Duckman Island not far away.

The coastline is not long, facing a port with dozens of two-masted sailing ships and several three-masted sailing ships docked on the side.

However, their sails are furled on the mast, and it is impossible to see where their emblems belong. However, from the image of the bow or figure, the identity of the owner of the sailing ship can be roughly judged.

For example, some of the prow statues that are obviously ferocious deep-sea aberrations with tentacles mostly belong to pirates, while some simple or simply vague statues of Storm Lady mostly belong to city-state merchant ships.

But when his mental perception covered it, the scene above made him frown.

At an intersection near the port, there are more than ten wooden poles standing on the side. People who can be judged to be corpses are hung on them. They feel like withered bodies, like several corpses, gently swaying with the sea breeze. .

Not far behind these wooden poles are two rows of wooden houses. Most of the sounds coming from inside were from the tavern. Maybe it was still early, and there were many pirates sleeping soundly on the tables or lying on the ground.

There are also a few places that sell weapons and repair ships, but they can be seen to be simple.

And further away, at the deepest level that he could perceive with his current ten thousand spiritual level, there was a church-like steeple building - that was the place that made him frown.

There was only a 200-square-meter room, and piles of corpses piled up like mountains, almost occupying the entire interior space of the church.

From the outlines reflected in my mind, those corpses included men and women, old people and children. Most of them had ferocious expressions on their faces, as well as stiff, wide-open eyes.

Not only that, Wei En also noticed that the height of the mountain of corpses was slowly decreasing, as if something was swallowing them below.

But when he wanted to continue to explore the underground, there was no response. He thought that there was a magic circle arranged below to isolate perception.

Only the underground is isolated, but the corpses above are unreservedly accessible to anyone - tsk, what a deception!

Is this a certainty that no one will take action against them, or is it a trap specially prepared for righteous people?

Sensing that, Wei En asked calmly: "Ronan, what's the situation on this island?"

"Situation?" Ronan glanced at Duckman Island uncertainly, "It's just an ordinary supply island with some aborigines on it."

But Claire, who was observing the guard training next to her, noticed something was wrong in Wayne's tone, and a trace of doubt flashed across her face. What had offended him on that island?

She had just sensed the island and found nothing except some drunken pirates.

"Aboriginal people?" Wei En thought of the mountain of corpses he just saw. "Are they wearing thick silk robes with braids on their heads?"

Ronan's face showed some astonishment, "Captain, have you seen those Kermans before?"

Isn't this the first time the red-haired captain has gone to sea?

"Kerman ethnic group?"

"This is the group of people who live on Da Keman Island. They call themselves the Keman ethnic group. 'Da' means 'brave' in their heritage, so this island is also called the 'heroic Keman people' by them. '"

"The brave Kermans..."

Wei En looked at the small island, and his mental perception swept over it over and over again. This time, he didn't even miss it under the ground.

One place, two places, three places... five places with isolation circles.

Claire asked: "Did you find anything?"

"There are some discoveries," Wei En thought for a few seconds, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time - eight o'clock, and said in deep thought: "You stay here, I will follow and take a look."

"I am coming too!"

Something that can make him show such an expression must be very interesting~

"you……"

Wayne hesitated for a moment, knowing what she had guessed. "Then follow me closely. Well, do you have any more puppets? Leave one on the boat."

"Oh?" Claire raised her eyebrows, "Is it dangerous?"

"Not sure, but there should be some weird stuff on there, just in case."

"Oh? Then I really need to prepare a few puppets..." Claire looked at the pirates on the deck.

"See those ugly three-masted sailing ships over there? Them."

With that said, Wei En jumped off the observation tower and talked to Ronan about his plan.

"You don't have to say it~" Claire glared at his back with dissatisfaction, looked at a few ships not far away, and said with a tone full of disgust: "It is indeed ugly, then it's you~"

Not long after, the steamship stopped at the port. Several pirates jumped to the dock and pulled iron chains as thick as arms, and connected them to the iron pestles protruding from the ground.

"Willen, secure the Ronan!"

"Okay, second officer."

Willen is the boatswain on the ship. He is a rugged pirate with an equally rough appearance. His dark skin is full of scars, he has a missing front tooth in his mouth, and his speech is slightly leaky.

But he is the most powerful extraordinary person on this steamship besides Ronan.

After Ronan finished his instructions, he looked at Wei En again and asked hesitantly: "Captain, are you sure you don't want me to come with you?"

"It's just like Willen is here," Wei En said calmly: "You stay and guard the ship. If you find something wrong, sound the whistle and I will arrive as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, second mate, as long as I follow the captain, there won't be any problems!" Willen assured, patting his chest, with a smile on his face, which looked ferocious no matter how he looked.

"With your strength, it's hard for me not to doubt..."

Ronan thought to himself, the captain is sure nothing will happen to him, but you are not sure, boatswain...

"Come on, hurry up, I can't wait to see the island."

Claire led a few pirates over there, and controlled them to find a corner on the deck to squat, "Captain, you are right, not only are their ships ugly, but so are the looks of these people. "

Wayne glanced at her, jumped off the steamer, and walked towards the island.

At this time, people were already appearing on Duckman Island one after another. Most of them were pirates who had just woken up from a hangover in the tavern and came out to check on the ship.

At first, they seemed indifferent to the arrival of Wei En and his party.

But soon, they discovered something was wrong.

"Red, red hair?!"

"Lady Storm is on board. She's from the Ronan. I recognize that steamship and the boatswain Willen!"

"Wha, what red hair? He is the red hair who killed Captain Henrik of the Storm Hunter? The new captain of the Ronan?!"

oh?

Wayne was surprised by the reaction of these pirates. He knew that the killing of Henrik had been exposed, but he did not expect that it would spread so quickly.

"The captain has a great reputation~"

Claire looked at the pirates with interest and felt a sense of accomplishment, as if she was watching a powerful wizard being born in front of her eyes.

"I hope not..."

Wayne didn't think this was a good reputation, and he would rather not have it if possible.

It's a pity that many things are beyond his control, including the Custer City State and the killing of Henrik.

The owner of Ronan, who was following behind the two of them, also had a smug look on his face.

This is the case at sea. No matter how strong you are, it is secondary. It is more in line with the expectations of most crew members to follow a captain with strong strength and great prospects.

Although they may face the Black Pearl's targeting or even pursuit, they are still the envy of other pirates.

In the laws of the deep sea, there is never room for the weak to survive. Being strong is the eternal law.

"Hey Waylon, you're lucky asshole."

Boatswain Willen's face blossomed with a smile, and those worm-like scars looked much kinder.

"Luck? That's my strength!"

After Wei En and his party left the port, a pirate in the crowd calmly returned to a two-masted sailboat and took out a sealed box from the mezzanine at the bottom of the ship.

After carefully taking out the organ body of a human ear from the box, he whispered: "The red-haired captain is on Duckman Island!"

Then without hesitation, he covered his ears with his hands, as if to seal the information in.

Crunch, crunch.

Then several chewing sounds were heard, and the pirate's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth without making a sound.

"Ho ho, hard, hard..."

When the pirate heard this voice, his sweaty face showed a hint of joy, and he quickly put his ears back into the box.

That’s it, I got the bonus of one hundred gold pounds!

Wei En on the other side didn't know that his whereabouts had been passed on by someone who wanted to know.

"Captain, the oil is in the repair shop over there. It's a little more troublesome to get fresh water. You need to follow the stone road behind the repair shop and go all the way to the hill behind. There is a sweet spring there..."

Willen stood hunched behind Wei En and introduced the supply procurement situation in a low voice, "Thanks to the captain, if you hadn't robbed the Storm Hunter before, it would have taken us another day to prepare all the supplies."

After Wei En waited for him to finish speaking, he scanned the people around him and asked, "You just said you wanted to go to the hill over there?"

The hill is also a place isolated from spiritual perception. That place?

[You are targeted by Adluto Watson's murderous intent. Rating: Interesting...Reward: +2 survival points. 】

[Note: The eyeless monster is a deformed extraordinary person whose eyes are blinded by the pollution of murderous intent. When he devours his own eyes, he will become an eyeless monster without self. 】

Eyeless monster? !

Wei En's steps paused, and his mental perception instantly covered everyone around him, including taverns, repair shops, and ships at the port...

It turns out that the Eyeless Monster is like this - it's not really a monster without eyes, but a monster that dug out a pair of eyes from other creatures and put them in its own eye sockets to pretend to have eyes.

"Did you find the problem?" Claire's tone was full of excitement, as if she had found prey.

"Well, there's a problem."

Wayne looked towards the back of the repair shop. The eyeless monster was behind a tree not far from the hill. Its eyes, which obviously did not match the eye sockets, were only the size of fingernails.

Its body is covered with a layer of gray scales from the neck down, and each scale opens regularly, just like breathing.

"Those don't feel like freaks."

"It's an aberration...it's just a transcendent person." Wei En was more concerned about the four words "lost self" mentioned on the panel.

"Transcendent? That would be even more interesting!" Claire snapped her fingers and her body slowly sank into the shadows.

Willen and others were startled, and then they pulled out the muskets hanging from their waists.

"You guys continue," Wei En raised his hand slightly to signal them not to make any move, "I'll just go there with the first mate and take a look."

"……clear."

With that said, Wei En stepped away and disappeared from the eyes of Willen and others.

"Bosun, what should we do now?"

"Didn't you hear what the captain said? Follow the plan and send the fuel back to the Ronan first. If you have Tamsui... wait for the captain's notification."

…

…

At the same time, on a five-masted sailing ship only one day's voyage away from the Ronan.

"First mate, we found the red-haired man's location. He is-"
