Chapter 365 I Am Also a Monster

The bottom of the cabin of the Araniga.

Domitri walked through the dark and damp corridor, and the salty deep-sea water soaked some of the bottom, swaying with the rocking of the ship under the decayed metal fence.

After pressing the last mechanical button, the gears clicked and the black, shapeless iron door at the end of the corridor slowly opened to both sides.

Domitri stepped inside and closed the door.

"Hoo...ho..."

Accompanied by Domitri's crisp footsteps, a long roar echoed, like a terrifying roar coming from the abyss.

The gas lamp above his head was misty, reflecting his figure flickering in and out, and making the large areas of blood stains in the corridor as black as ink.

Until he reached the deepest point, Domitri felt that his vision was much brighter. Under the huge dome was the rushing deep sea water. Dozens of tentacles slowly squirmed and twisted on the wall. The sound of pus corroding metal made a squeaking sound. The sound leaves traces behind.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Suad stood on the extended platform directly under the dome, looking at the deep-sea abnormality calmly, "Well, what happened up there?"

"Captain Giles of the Mechanical Castle was dissatisfied with the little friction caused by Crook recruiting his first mate. You know, quiet pirates don't exist."

"oh."

Suad nodded without delving into it.

Even if he is the captain of the Araniga and becomes the new "Sea Emperor" after winning the sea war in the future, he still cannot change the habits of the pirates.

This is the most sincere character of a free and enthusiastic pirate created by the deep sea.

"Domitri, there is something very important that I need you to do."

"Boss, please speak."

Domitri felt a chill in his heart. He had rarely seen such a solemn tone from Suad.

However, whenever this happens, it must mean something important is happening!

"I need you to arrange for a group of people to go to Altman Island."

"Um?"

Domitri's breath froze. That place on Altman Island...

"Boss, do you want to..."

"Just prepare in advance." Suad turned slightly sideways, glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, "This war gives me a very bad premonition."

Domitri said in disbelief: "But as long as we successfully land on Wojciech Island and kill Isabello..."

"Do as I say!"

Suad raised his hand to interrupt him and said: "All wars have winners and losers. Just because I want to win doesn't mean there is no possibility of losing. What's more..."

"Besides, the sea is becoming more and more chaotic now. I don't think becoming the 'Emperor of the Sea' will be able to dominate everything like Isabello did before!"

Domitri suddenly changed his expression and said in surprise: "You mean, the sea will be occupied by people other than pirates?"

"This is inevitable!"

Suad's tone was without any fluctuation, and he looked down at the aberrations below, with a slightly unwilling look on his feminine face.

"From the emergence of the 'Sea Taboo' arranged by the Twilight Sect, to the emergence of the three major wizarding schools in the deep sea, to the emergence of Red Moon Island and the Red Moon Church, this ancient, mysterious and strange Kordo Sea is no longer what it used to be. So peaceful."

"Even I can't stop them. Compared with them, the strength of us pirates is much worse."

"The Wizard School, the Church of the Righteous God, the Evil God Sect, the Nobles... As long as they focus on this sea area, the pirates will be at the bottom like the civilians on land."

At this point, Suad paused, looking even more lonely, and said in a sad tone: "From the time I went to sea to becoming the captain of the Araniga, I have lost many times and even been on the verge of death many times."

"There was the White Rose's 'Epidemic Doctor' before me, and Isabello behind me... but I was lucky enough to survive and get back up again."

"Ho ho... Domitri, it's not that I can't afford to lose... I'm just unwilling to lose this war because of such external forces."

"So I'll give it one last try!"

"If you successfully kill Isabello, you will win the war and become the new 'Emperor of the Sea' and the 'King of the Four Seas'. If you lose..."

"If I fail, the group of people you arranged will be the bargaining chips for me to rise again!"

His voice was very calm, as if he was not talking about the outcome of the war, but arranging some ordinary and dispensable things.

But under the cover of the entire dome, the fluorescent flashes of the rune array, and the low moans and roars of the deep-sea aberrations, his words echoed like a symphony.

It shook Domitri's heart and stirred up turbulent waves.

It was difficult for him to imagine what kind of pressure would force the heroic and great Captain Suyard to make such a decision.

After a few minutes of silence, Domitri lowered his head with a complex expression: "I know what to do, boss."

"Um."

Suad turned around with a smile on his face, "Remember to take away as many powerful pirates as possible from other ships, they will also become good helpers!"

Domitri opened his mouth, "They..."

Of course he knew that the pirate group gathered here was almost the top pirate group in the Cordo Sea.

Even if there are no captains and first mates on those ships, there are still many powerful pirates on the other crew members.

However, it is not easy to take away those pirates.

And once discovered, I am afraid that the pirate captain and first mate in the rest area above can bring disaster to their Araniga in an instant!

"Don't worry, I will take them away from here tomorrow morning."

Suad saw his thoughts and said, "Whether the location of Wojciech Island is locked or not, I will be ready in another place."

"At that time, everything will be up to you, Domitri."

"Huh?!"

Domitri thought for a few seconds, and suddenly looked at him with wide eyes: "Boss, you...you don't plan to take me with you?"

"Of course." Suad grinned and said, "You are the person I trust the most. I will only feel at ease if I leave this matter to you."

"Yes!"

Domitri nodded, hesitated for a moment, cut his palm and dripped blood into the deep sea, knelt on one knee and saluted:

"Please rest assured, boss!"

"Go and prepare."

Suad watched him turn and leave, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

"Roar--"

The deep-sea mutant below became violent under the stimulation of that drop of blood, and dozens of tentacles waved wildly and stabbed at him fiercely.

"Monster?"

Suyad lowered his eyelids and looked at the tentacles with countless scarlet eyes indifferently. He raised his palm slightly and waved it horizontally in an instant.

A ray of light flashed, and the sharp blades like silk crossed countless times.

"Roar!!"

Accompanied by the miserable hissing sound, the tentacles were smoothly crushed, and the neat cutting made every piece of flesh and blood retain a scarlet eye. It fell into the deep sea, and the thick green blood dyed the entire dome with color.

Suyad gently wiped off the blood of the mutant on his cheek, turned around and walked out indifferently.

"I am also a monster..."

...

...

At night, in the rest area.

Wayne and Giles lay flat in the cabin to rest.

When the surroundings were completely quiet, Wayne carefully activated [Fraud-Illusion Creation] to leave a false figure, and used the golden key to return to the theater space.

There were less than two hours left before he arranged for the pirate guard to come to him.

While there is still time, he needs to pass the action plan of the Alaniga to Black Jack and others.

After thinking it over again and again, Wayne did not risk casting the Eye of Space spell in the cabin to anchor the spatial coordinates and avoid being detected by the rune array on the ship.

The only safe way he could think of was to contact Black Jack through the "bloody ear".

Wayne returned to the theater space, glanced at the empty stage, and frowned slightly.

Without Pavla and Tina here, he actually felt a little uncomfortable just now.

"After being together for so long, I'm used to their existence..."

Wayne muttered, turned around and went to the studio, took out the special communicator used to contact Black Jack, pinched his earlobe and squeezed out the blood inside.

"Zizi..."

As the noisy sound of Zizi sounded, the voices of other pirates could be vaguely heard in the ear.

"Call Black Jack."

"Call Black Jack."

"..."

After several calls, a suspicious voice came from the communicator: "Wayne?"

"Marco, go find Black Jack and Euan!"

Wayne recognized the voice of the person on the other side and asked him to contact Black Jack and others without much explanation.

"Okay!"

Although Marco didn't know what happened, based on his understanding of Wayne now, it was definitely not simple to make a great wizard so anxious.

Soon, the voices of Black Jack and Euan appeared: "Wizard Wayne, have you come back from there?"

"Not yet,"

Wayne's tone was a little serious, "I suggest changing to a safer way of communication. I have something important to tell you."

"Huh?!"

On the other side, Black Jack and Euan looked at each other and frantically operated on their ears.

"Wait, wait, change to a special channel, block other people's signal access, and ensure the safety of the communication channel!"

"No, no, there are still several big pirates with authority..."

"Damn it, use my identity authority as the first mate to temporarily remove their identities!"

After waiting for a few minutes, Wayne heard the voices of Black Jack and others again, and he didn't know what they did in the meantime.

"Wizard Wayne, you can tell me now."

"What I want to tell you is that here, Suade and others are planning to attack Wojciech Island directly!"

"What?!" Black Jack exclaimed.

"You heard it right, so I'm so cautious." Wayne said in a positive tone: "The specific time is not clear at present, but a person who appeared here is very suspicious."

"Who?"

"A member of the Glory Society, Chinni Boronat of the Boronat family, and she is also a follower of the Red Moon Church."

Wayne didn't know what this woman had to do with the Araniga's attack on Wojciech Island, but his intuition told him that Suade's actions were related to her.

"Also, I'm on the Araniga now. Suad has gathered all the pirate captains, first mates, and all the powerful pirates together. They should launch an attack soon."

"That's all I have to say. You should hurry up and make preparations."

"But..." Black Jack hesitated and smiled bitterly: "But now we can't contact Wojciech Island, let alone find its location."

"Huh?"

Wayne frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and understood: "I'm afraid Suad and the others are not clear about the exact location of Wojciech Island, so they let us wait on the ship."

"It should be like this,"

Yuan's voice came to his ears. Unlike Black Jack, his tone was slightly calmer:

"Wizard Wayne, please keep an eye on Suade and the others. I hope you can contact us as soon as possible when you arrive at Wojciech Island."

"The best situation is that we get the specific location of Wojciech Island first and rush there to ambush in advance."

"But if Black Jack and I are still on Avad Island at that time, you need to pass the specific location to us, and then Menor will take us there."

Hearing his words, Wayne raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."

This should be the best way at the moment.

However, he was not sure whether he could make it in time in the end.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Wizard Wayne, let's get ready as soon as possible."

"Wait!"

Wayne did not forget to remind: "Remember to block the news, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is passed to the Araniga."

He is still on the ship now. If he is really discovered, Suade must know that it was the people in the conference room who leaked the news.

"I understand."

As he said, Black Jack and Yuan were silent and disconnected.

"Huh..."

Wayne put away his bloody ears and let out a long breath.

He had done everything he could do. The result depended on Isabello's luck.

If he was lucky, Black Jack and his team would arrive on Wojciech Island in advance and stop Suade and his team.

If he was unlucky, the Cordo Sea would have a new "Sea Emperor".

Thinking of this, Wayne looked at the clock on the workbench and saw that there was still a lot of time left. He then activated the Black Trophy Communicator.

It had been a few days since the Ghost School announced its expedition to the Cordo Sea. He needed to know the current location of the Ghost Expedition Wizards in order to welcome them.

In addition, he also needed to arrange the second phase of research tasks on mechanical undead for the researchers in the institute.

"Dear Great Wizard Wayne Loft, may I ask..."

"Theresa Irina Silvera, internal number: 11346."

"Wait a minute..."

As the gray fog rose, Theresa's figure appeared on the virtual screen, with joy in her dark green eyes under her gold-rimmed glasses.

"Director, you finally contacted me."

"Oh?"

"The things you arranged last time have been completed. Seniors Escobar and Adolf have not only produced four mechanical zombies that are on the verge of promotion, but also prepared additional rune arrays and rune boards."

"In addition, after submitting the research report on the rune board to the school, we have received a reply from Dean Qiao Sue. It is temporarily scheduled to be redeemed and read by formal wizards and above."

"The first gold pound income will be received within five days, and it is expected to be nearly 5 million gold pounds."

Wayne: "Very good, I am very satisfied."

It has been a few days since he last contacted the institute, and he didn't expect the progress there to be so fast.

"It's all thanks to the director." Theresa said with a smile: "It's a pity that you are not in the school, otherwise you will be surprised."

"What?"

"It's the research report on the rune board. You don't know how much of a sensation it caused in the school."

As she said, Theresa gestured with her hands and feet, "More and more wizards regard you as the leader of this generation, and also use the name of "forbidden institute" for our Institute No. 66."

"Also, many legendary wizards wrote to me, hoping to meet you. Even if they can't meet you, it doesn't matter. They are willing to communicate with you through the communicator and discuss various topics related to the content."

"Really?"

Wayne raised his eyebrows. Is there such a disadvantage?

He doesn't have much time to communicate "knowledge" with others. In most cases, what he learned was from the panel.

"Just help me refuse. From now on, you can carry out the second phase of the research on mechanical undead."

"What about you?"

Theresa pouted. She just felt that the director's reaction was too strange. He was not excited at all.

This doesn't look like a young wizard who has just come of age...

Shouldn't he be happy like her because of the favor of so many legendary wizards?

Perhaps, this is the gap between her and Director Wei En.

"I still have some things to deal with, um..."

Wei En looked at the figure on the virtual screen, pondered for a few seconds, and asked: "Do you know the current situation of the wizards on the school expedition?"

"Expedition? I know!"

Theresa smiled again and said: "Dean Josue has told me that the legendary Salvatore has led the expedition wizards to the southern city-state of Imaguire and plans to take a short rest on the Linaisen Island built by our family."

"When will we get there?"

Wei En knew that Linaisen Island was the island built before to collect "The Dream of Jiamendia".

"Let me see," Theresa dug out a piece of parchment and said, "According to the latest internal announcement, we are expected to arrive there in three days."

"In addition, the expedition wizards from the two major schools of Spiritual Secret and Blood Spirit will also gather there. But I heard that the Spiritual Secret School will arrive soon, and the Blood Spirit School will be later."

"Three days?"

Wayne nodded. It was already very fast to cross the northern continent from the Ghost Headquarters to the southern Linaison Island in three days.

Including the first two days, it was only five days.

But he didn't expect that the speed of the Spiritual Mystic School was faster. It only took three days to cross the entire continent from the east of the East Continent and then go north to the sea.

I don't know how the Spiritual Mystic School did it. Could it be using the teleportation arrays left over from the previous era?

"That's it for now, you continue."

"Okay, Director."

Teresa instantly put the weird director behind her, trotted to the others, and announced the good news of the second phase of the research project.

After turning off the communicator, Wayne sent all the [Explosive Sniper Rifles] with death attributes attached to Marco, and then returned to the Araniga with the golden key.

In the small room, the heavy metal hatch was locked, and two snoring sounds came one after another.

After Wayne made sure that no one had entered the room, he lifted the illusion, sat aside, and quietly watched Captain Giles who was sleeping soundly.

Not long after, the pirate guard pushed the door open and said in a low voice: "First Mate Esther, I'm here."

"Did you bring the things?"

"Yes, but..."

"Hmm?"

The pirate guard hesitated and said: "But outside her, Captain Dis is guarding outside."

Is Dis there?

Wayne frowned. He didn't expect that the "Golden Giant" didn't stay in the rest area on this floor, but ran there.

He thought for a few seconds and thought that Suade would drive the Araniga to Wojciech later, and he should transfer "Tina" to another place at that time.

At that time...

Thinking of this, Wayne asked softly: "If the girl is to be transferred, where will she be arranged? Or who is most likely to be sent to protect her?"

"Me!"

The pirate guard raised his thumb and pointed at himself and said: "First Mate Esther, I am the captain of the Araniga, responsible for the chores and logistics on the ship."

"You?"

Wayne thought of the conference room where he had taken the girl away before, so he nodded and said: "Then next, you will guard here for me."

"I can, but I'm worried that I will be seen."

If you don't disguise yourself, the possibility of being discovered will be very high.

However, Wayne also has another way. He took out the shape-shifting potion from the space ring and said:

"Look at me and drink it."

The pirate guard drank the potion without hesitation and transformed into the appearance of First Mate Esther.

Of course, this is not safe. If someone observes with interest, he will definitely be seen through. Therefore, Wayne activated [Fraud-Word Spirit] and looked at him and said:

"From now on, you are Esther Nereoff of the Mechanical Fortress!"

[Origin-5! 】

"I'm Esther Nereoff!"

The expression on the pirate guard's face changed slightly, and his eyes also adjusted a little. Just like what Wayne had shown before, he was full of smiles and good at communication.

"I'll let Captain Giles cover for you."

"Understood."

"Finally, tell me about you, the main activity area on the ship, your habits and responsibilities, etc."

"My name is Esther..."

"Stop!" Wayne said helplessly: "I mean before I became Esther's first mate."

From this point, it is not difficult to see the powerful power of the fraud talent.

It can change a person into another person silently...

No matter how you look at it, the [Fraud] talent does not seem to be a very serious talent ability.

"Oh, the name is Moretz Carrizo, 32 years old, from the Hill Kingdom Mitchell City-State in the Western Continent..."

After understanding all the information, Wayne took on his appearance, walked out of the room openly, and stood in the corridor of the rest area.

According to what the Moretz guard said just now, the girl is now protected in a room on the second floor of the cabin, near the spiral staircase.

But this is not the key point. The key point is that Dis is still there...

"Such an obvious action, why does it seem like he is worried that others can't see the importance of the girl?"

Wayne doesn't understand the "Golden Giant"'s behavior. Even if he values ​​the girl, he shouldn't behave like this, especially since he is the captain of the Golden Dis.

Will such behavior really not be looked down upon by other pirates on the ship?

Unless the people on the Golden Dis also know the relationship between them...

"We can go back to the Golden Dis to investigate later."

Wayne thought so, and then he patrolled the night as usual as Morets did.

"Good night, Captain Morets."

"Good night..."

...

...

At this time, on Avad Island.

Black Jack, Youan, two core crew members on the White Cli, Walid and Milus, and Menor and Cloya of the Eternal Life Society gathered together.

"Damn it, now I'm asked to identify who is the loyal Black Pearl and who is the undercover agent of the Araniga. How can I tell them apart?"

Black Jack was scratching his head anxiously, his rough face flushed red, and he looked around anxiously, "'Epidemic Doctor', do you have any good ideas?"

"I don't have any."

Yuan shook his head, "I know very little about your Black Pearl, and judging by experience is not a good method."

"Walid, what about you?"

"I..." Walid smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, you're making it difficult for me. If I really tell them who is who, once they know, won't they skin me alive?"

"Trash," Black Jack glared at him angrily, then turned to look at the two members of the Eternal Life Society, "Menor, what about you?"

"Without the use of extraordinary power to determine, there is no way to tell."

Menor also shook his head, and then mused: "But it can minimize the risk."

"Do you have any idea?"

"If you can't tell the difference, involve as few people as possible and only choose those you trust."

"At the same time, after gathering those people, we will strengthen precautions so that they have no way to notify the Araniga in advance."

Black Jack scratched his head, hesitated and said, "Is this okay? If there are too few people, we won't be able to deal with Suad's gang. If there are too many, we alone won't be able to take care of everyone."

"So, you can change the name, such as drinking, or find a group of girls and let them play with it." Menor spread his hands.

"That's good," Croya agreed with a smile: "Pirates are always very enthusiastic about girls."

"..." Black Jack glared at the two of them angrily and snorted: "In such a critical moment, don't make such a joke."

"Menor's idea is right. The key is to find a reason that will not arouse the suspicion of the Araniga." Euan said thoughtfully: "I remember that Wei En just sent a part of the [Explosive Sniper Rifle]. "

"That's right..." Black Jack reacted, "You mean to use the excuse of distributing [explosive sniper rifles] to call in those powerful captains?"

Euan nodded, "The captain alone is a bit too conspicuous, so it's best to ask them to call over the pirates who are good at shooting."

"In addition, only gather the big pirates who have arrived on Awad Island. Don't look for them if they are still outside."

"This can not only paralyze Suad and others, but also distribute the [explosion sniper rifles] reasonably."

"That's a good idea!"

The stone in Black Jack's heart dropped a little, and he looked at Walid and ordered: "Just follow what the 'epidemic doctor' said just now and call them to the tower. I don't believe there are people here who don't have eyesight." Dare to be a traitor!"

"Okay, I'll go now."

When Walid and Milus left, Black Jack still had no smile on his face and sighed and said:

"Now I can only hope that Wojciech can be more vigilant and either contact me early, or find the bastard who passed the news to the outside world!"

"Damn it, let me know who it is, I have to chop him up!"

"Don't think about it, Jack," Menor said with a smile: "To be optimistic, at least we know Suad's plan in advance, right?"

"Menor is right,"

Euan agreed: "If there hadn't been the news from Wei En, I'm afraid that by the time we knew it, Suad and the others had already boarded Wojciech, and might even have found Captain Isabello. At that time, the situation would have been real. dangerous."

boom!

Black Jack punched the armrest of the chair and gritted his teeth: "I know, but I'm just so angry!"

"The people who can stay on Wojciech Island are those who have been screened at all levels, who have been with the Black Pearl for the longest time, are powerful, and are very loyal to the boss."

"But now I find out that among those people there are people close to the Araniga. This makes me unable to accept it at all."

"And in retrospect, Hammer Girl's decision to seal Wojciech Island was very wise. I'm afraid she was aware of this and moved directly after sealing the island."

"If it hadn't been like this, I'm afraid I would have followed that bastard Suad's wish now!"

Seeing this, Euan and Menor looked at each other, both understanding his mood, but now...

"Okay, it's time for us to make some preparations, Jack."

"Um?"

"In addition to selecting the right people to move to Wojciech Island, things here on Awad Island must also be arranged properly. To prevent the Glory Society gang from cooperating with Suad to attack here."

"Yep……"

Black Jack patted his forehead and said thankfully: "Fortunately, you two are here, otherwise I would have panicked just by myself."

"Let's split up," Menor smiled and said, "In addition to me and Croya, the Eternal Life Society can now spare two people to come over to assist."

"grateful……"

…

…

Compared to the intense atmosphere on Awad Island, Wayne seemed much more relaxed and relaxed on the Araniga.

Taking the opportunity to inspect the ship's cabin, he recorded the structure and rune array of the entire ship from top to bottom, while having "pleasant" conversations with every guard pirate he saw.

"Hey, listen to me! It's a busy day, man."

[Origin-8! 】

【……】

[Origin-23! 】

When he arrived at the second floor of the cabin, he saw a tall figure sitting in the corridor, his broad back almost filling the entire corridor.

"Captain Dees, could you please change seats?"

"It's inconvenient!" Dis opened his eyes, looked at him condescendingly even while sitting, and said, "Go somewhere else, I'm here."

"Sorry, it's my duty," Wei En looked at the hatch next to him from the corner of his eye, and said with a half-smile: "Besides, this is the Araniga, I shouldn't understand your words as - you want to join us. Bar?"

"Um?"

Dis frowned, staring at him with two eyes as big as fists and said:

"You should ask Captain Suade if he dares to accept me!"

"I..."

"Why shouldn't I? Dis!"

Wayne's face changed slightly. Why did Suade come here?
