Chapter 225 Pirates Encounter

478

"Sia actually said in the oracle that he would do penance. There must be something wrong with his brain."

"Also, I remember that a small coastal town in the south was said to have been destroyed by another tsunami last month, but the surrounding cities didn't even see a single tidal wave. I have never heard of such a localized tsunami."

Richard Ernst patted away the crumbs from the corn tortillas on his clothes with his hands, his tone was both mocking and funny:

"Poor Si'a, his already unintelligent mind is even worse."

"But why did the Church of the Seven Gods suddenly start to take care of him? Didn't the great priests in the past always rely on their own abilities to survive for the church's extraordinary people and the people?"

The Dark Saint did not answer this sentence. He chose to throw out another piece of information to continue the conversation:

"The messenger of God reported that there was an internal fight within the Rose School of Thought in Backlund City."

"It was an innocent passerby who was affected and reported the crime, claiming to have seen monsters and ghosts appearing in the night."

Richard chewed slowly and swallowed the food in his mouth before He asked:

"Have you seen their appearance?"

"It is said that the ghost is a blond woman wearing black clothes."

"Oh, it's her."

Backlund, Wraith, a blonde woman, Richard effortlessly guessed the identity of the other party - if he guessed correctly, it should be the last child whom Reinette taught before her death, the one named Sharon little girl.

The last time she went to Backlund to prevent the Great Smog Incident, Maria and the "living corpse" under her command also reported their affairs. Sharon refused to contact the Pilgrim Sect and found a helper to annihilate Indulgence. The pursuers sent out settled down smoothly.

That little girl is already Sequence 5...

Richard had no impression of Sharon. He had seen Reinette a few times when she was still alive, and vaguely remembered that she was a little girl. It was not like he had never offered an olive branch to her, but the answer he received was rejection.

"She was discovered in Backlund again? That's right. Reinette's identity as a disciple can make up for the lack of sequence, and Sia will be happy to accept this sacrifice."

Teacher-student inheritance is very common in secret organizations, and even today when neurosis has become the mainstream of the Rose School, teacher-student inheritance is still the main development method of the "Prisoner" path.

To a certain extent, the connection between master and disciple sometimes transcends blood relationship and becomes, like blood relationship, relatives in the mystical sense.

Coupled with the special customs of the Highland Kingdom, people like to add the names of respected elders in their families to their own names, so sometimes the disciples will inherit the teacher's extraordinary characteristics or even the name, and are the true successors of the mysticism.

Sia's becoming stronger and Reinette's death are two related things. However, this matter did not attract much attention. It was just an internal struggle of a cult organization. People outside did not know the extraordinary, and even I don’t even know the name of this highland princess.

In order to prevent ordinary people from discovering that a cult leader can live for hundreds of years, the Zhengshen Church often emphasizes the other party's title and weakens its name when screening and filtering information, such as "Abomination", "Pale Queen", "Aurora God" "make", which can dilute their names. Not to mention that this information is not accessible to ordinary people. Even if these people are still active in the public eye after decades, people without extraordinary knowledge will subconsciously think about "title inheritance."

The Saint of Darkness broke the bread, looked at the corn tortillas, and recalled the Aurora's sweet, delicious and talking communion bread, hinting at the words delivered by the Lord:

"The changes in Sioa this time may not be entirely the work of the church."

Richard's action of basting the barbecue with sauce paused briefly, and he said without changing his expression: "It seems that there is something in his words."

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be so vague. After all, I have been able to survive until now by surviving in the cracks. The church is willing to sponsor me just because it hopes that I can check and balance the angels of the abyss. As early as when the teacher completed his promotion, my value has already been It’s been significantly weakened.”

"Coupled with the fact that I forcefully intervened in the Great Smog Incident that was tacitly approved by the Loen Royal Family, I am no longer suitable to appear in the Northern Continent."

"If Frank hadn't given me such an excellent seed, I might have considered whether to take the risk and go to Feneport again."

Richard blinked and looked at the Dark Saint sincerely. The implication is that you and the Aurora Society should not expect me to cause trouble for the teacher. There is no point in paying attention to the whereabouts of Edward Vaughn. I will But Him, you have to go to yourself.

It is impossible to fight unless I am tired of living. The current situation is critical and I can only do business and production to maintain my life.

Kesma naturally understood what the other party meant, but after hearing one of the words, his eyes suddenly turned.

"Do you know anything about the inside story of the Great Smog?"

"Yes." Richard said, "Through a divination, I guessed that the great smog may be related to the Augustus royal family. Then think of the inheritance of the Augustus royal family as the 'Judge', and in the past ten years, Bailang The crown began to be gradually displayed in the museum, and bills and new architectural styles that were not understood emerged one after another. I can probably guess where the missing people of the southern continent and civilians of the northern continent went."

"What a shame! I had expectations for this king because of the long-term benefits of the employee bill, food bill and environmental protection."

Richard shook his head, looking lonely and sad: "His mother's tomb, does the Aurora Society know where his tomb is?"

The Dark Saint shook his head regretfully.

The Dark Saint asked: "Since you are also worried about what the Augustus royal family has done, are you willing to assist us and expose the truth about the Great Smog as a philanthropist?"

"There is no conclusive evidence. My status as a philanthropist should be the icing on the cake. What I say as a human being will hardly attract widespread attention. Maybe even my subordinates will suffer." Richard said, "I am willing Help, but let’s talk about it later.”

Aboard the "Suite".

It took two months for Agaritu to truly explore the coastline of the Eastern Continent. Relying on his immortal nature and the building materials that could be encountered at any time on the sea, after dying a total of seventeen or eighteen times, he completed the survey of the coastline. Map drawing of the ruins of God War.

In fact, he could survive so many times, but the inexplicable misfortune of Ourolius followed him. Even a well-prepared expedition may encounter strange reasons and lead to failure.

"The powers that appeared in the ruins of the God War...the earth, the secrets, the storms, the prisoners...are basically consistent with the current seven gods, and they can also find their corresponding positions."

"The ancient sun god found so many people to kill him, and Ouroboros and Medici were there to suppress him, but in the end he was eaten by the three gods."

"It's good to hear that after he dies, other gods can have room to develop."

His men spread out the priceless map of the ruins of the War of Gods that he had drawn himself. It carefully marked the divine power and response methods of each regional branch, and drew countless safe routes.

If it spreads to the outside world, it will definitely cause adventurers and pirates to go crazy.

"Anyway, there is no way to go to the Eastern Continent normally. The coast is surrounded by either secrets or undercurrents that can tear demigods apart, as well as the wandering 'sun' and the abundance of life-sucking things. Angels have to go there if they want to. The easiest way to peel off the skin is to take the pilgrimage route of the Aurora Society, or find the key to the Giant King's Court."

Agaritu slumped down in his seat, closed his eyes and began to doze off.

The deck was busy with people coming and going. A hunter with blond hair wearing a vest and a white shirt was sitting on the sculpture on the bow of the ship, focusing on depicting the sea and sky in the distance.

The first mate raised his head and said to him: "Anderson, it's your turn to wash the dishes today."

Anderson, who was holding a paintbrush in his ear and holding a paint tray in his hand, turned his head: "What? Didn't I just wash the dishes yesterday?"

A man who was scrubbing the deck raised his head and took up the conversation: "You bribed me with wine money yesterday to help you wash the dishes. Today you should wash the dishes yourself."

Anderson was reluctant: "The co-author said that my bribe can only postpone washing the dishes for one day? But that's only 3 pounds! I sold two paintings to get the money!"

The waiter who poured water for Agaritu added:

"Three pounds is only enough for me to replace a shell, and I don't need to drink. Anderson, hurry up and wash the dishes."

"I originally asked to come up and wipe the deck, but why do I always wash the dishes..."

Anderson was even more reluctant, but he had no choice but to jump off the bow sculpture and carefully collect his only source of income.

The crew watched him enter the cabin and continued to do their own things.

The "Sad Death" was floating leisurely on the sea. Agaritu, who had completed Edward's mission, was just like the "Sad Death" fishing in addition to showing off his true nature as a devil. Anyway, the real body was also touching, touching. The fish also increased his bounty by one thousand.

It seems that a church ship was accidentally robbed.

Who's to blame? Is it the devil to blame? We can only blame these church members for not shouting and surrendering fast enough. As long as Agaritu could reveal his identity before the last person died, Agaritu would not have cleaned up the ship.

The sailors on the ship are all obedient now, and no one wants to cause any big trouble.

The "Suite" floated out of a ruins of the God War. At this moment, an observer suddenly shouted:

"There is a large sailboat approaching from ahead!"

Swish, brush, brush!

The crew members stood up one after another and went to where they should go, carrying mops and buckets in their hands.

Agaritu, who was disturbed from his nap, turned his head and looked over there. He saw a ship with twinkling stars heading opposite to him, approaching very fast.

"Bernadette?"

The sailing ship was getting closer and closer, and the flag gradually became clearer. The crimson but weak moonlight allowed the people in the port to see ten white stars of the same size on it, and those stars surrounded an indifferent eye without eyelashes.

"Admiral of the Stars!"

"Future!"

The sailors said loudly that the "faceless doll" looked very excited. It had been able to influence nearly a hundred people at the same time and was exercising its actual combat capabilities. It couldn't wait to practice with the "Star Admiral".

"A chance encounter?"

"Why did the Star Admiral suddenly appear in the Sea of ​​Gods and want to explore the ruins? Well, it's not surprising that people like to explore the unknown and gain knowledge."

At this time, the sailor ran up: "Captain! Captain!"

"There is a very powerful and terrifying person up there!" said the sailor. "Should we go up there? I'm a little afraid of the people up there!"

"Is there something up there that you're afraid of?"

Agaritu asked the "faceless doll": "What do you feel? A high-sequence strongman of the diviner path?"

"The Faceless Doll" hesitated and said: "I can't express that feeling accurately, Captain, but I feel that I want to be close to him, but I am afraid of him... His breath is very scary, by the way, I once I saw this kind of aura once in Bayam!"

Bayam? Byam...Agaritu suddenly thought of something.

"Stop the ship, don't drop anchor," he said. "'Suite', prepare the steering and guns, and be ready to attack at any time."

The rudder of the "Suicide" automatically turned, and black muzzles appeared on the side of the ship. The spiritual cannonballs were filled, and they secretly aimed at the approaching "Future".

…

The "Future" did not stop moving forward, and it didn't take long to get closer to the gloomy and dark behemoth.

Klein finally saw the other party clearly and discovered that it was not a sea monster, but a sailboat that was larger than the "Future".

This sailboat is nearly two hundred meters long, with its front and rear tilted high, and the whole thing looks like a crescent moon.

Its surface is painted black; the cannons on the side of the ship are divided into three rows, arranged in order above and below; the part protruding from the deck, excluding the mast, is also tall and huge, at least equivalent to a five-story house.

The strangest thing about the ship is that it has only one sail, depicting a black tombstone.

"The Death Ship..." A solemn voice rang in Klein's ears. Frank Lee put down the apples at some point, let them run around on the Future Ship, and walked next to him.

The first mate, who had a bounty of 7,000 pounds, had a sullen face and tense muscles, as if he would launch an attack at any time due to the slightest change in the huge sailing ship.

Death number? Klein was stunned for a moment, then remembered what this name represented.

It is one of the most famous and legendary ships on the five seas!

It is the flagship of the "Immortal King" Agaritu!

To actually meet one of the "Four Kings"... Klein was secretly dumbfounded and uncontrollably entered a state of high alert.

However, he remained indifferent and calm on the surface, still looking at the "Sad Death".

Thinking of the recent rumors about the "Immortal King", the other party frequently comes in and out of the ruins of the God War. It is said that he wants to find the "Fountain of Youth" that once gave him extraordinary vitality, or that the "Immortal King" has found it. A chart of ruins, looking for treasures, constantly taking the crew in, and then returning alone... Klein was immediately relieved and no longer wondered why he encountered the "Death" not far from the Gargas Islands. .

He was originally a little worried about whether he would meet the opponent on a narrow road in the dangerous sea of ​​​​God War, but he did not expect to encounter him while still outside the sea.

After putting down this question, he thought of more rumors, and some of these rumors can be determined to be true descriptions:

“‘The Immortal King’ Agaritu is a middle-aged man who is so pale that he seems ready to rot at any moment;

“His single country bounty is as high as 100,000 pounds;

"The people who were his enemies, whether pirates, adventurers, or a certain naval fleet, have all perished. Only the other three "Four Kings" are still alive;

“He has never had a direct confrontation with an official demigod, and appears to be extremely restrained in this regard;

“Almost no one knows his specific sequence, and no one understands his extraordinary abilities;

“He is cruel by nature, loves killing, and may attack anyone or any ship at any time;

"He likes to find excuses to break promises. In addition to the title of 'The Immortal King', he is also widely called the 'Unbeliever'."

Fortunately, I am currently riding the "Future". The "Immortal King" should be able to sell "Star Admiral" to save some face. After all, Ms. "Hermit" is also one of the seven pirate generals... No, "Four Kings" In addition to being able to live in peace with the pirate generals at the pirate conference convened by the "King of the Five Seas", under normal circumstances, there is cooperation and confrontation, and most of them are the latter. A few months ago, "Blood Admiral" and " "Vice Admiral Twilight" had a battle, and during the Bayam tsunami, the "Mysterious Queen" and him also appeared... Coupled with the style of "The Immortal King", things may not just stop at road encounters! Just as Klein had this thought, he heard a low sound of a horn.

Woo!

The sailors resting in the cabin woke up instantly and did not bother to put on their clothes, or went straight to different gun ports, or came to the deck to prepare for the ship. The "Future" suddenly shifted from a peaceful state to wartime.

Klein turned around and looked upward, only to see that the window of the captain's room had been opened. "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya was standing there in her unchanged black robe, staring in the direction of the Death Ship.

She no longer wore those heavy glasses, and her dark eyes were dyed a little deep purple, deep and mysterious.

"Sure enough, she was also worried about a sudden attack by the 'Immortal King'..." Klein retracted his gaze and looked back at the "Suicide" with its bow and stern tilted up.

At this time, the two ships were passing each other, and the pirates on the opposite side were vaguely visible.

Those guys were also looking here, either as quiet as statues and seemingly without any emotion, or waving their sabers and blowing their guns, trying their best to provoke them.

The people on the two ships faced each other in silence. Suddenly, the people on the Sui Sui moved aside, and a man wearing a three-cornered hat and looking like he had some Southern Continent blood appeared in the gap, his dark red eyes scanning. The members on the "Future" swept past "Star Admiral", Frank Lee and everyone, and finally stopped at Klein.

Standing on the deck with the face of Gehrman Sparrow, Klein suddenly felt a huge crisis. Suddenly, Klein's eyes blurred, his heart stopped as if being suddenly grasped, and gray mist flashed past. .

Klein almost fell to his knees due to cardiac arrest. He held onto the side of the ship with one hand, and his expression instantly became extremely serious. His "creeping hunger" opened its bloody mouth, but did not immediately open his mouth to him as usual. There was a terrifying and bloodthirsty atmosphere all around.

Its "horror" was completely overshadowed by the greater crisis just around the corner!

Klein quickly thought about the reason why he was being targeted, but before he could come to a conclusion, the sound of gears turning and mechanical resets could be heard from the "Summer" opposite, and the dark muzzle quickly turned. , spiritual brilliance flashes.

The "Immortal King" ignored Cattleya, who had a close connection with Bernadette, and also ignored Frank Lee on the ship.

He looked at Klein and ordered as if he had finalized the news of his death:

"fire."
