In order to cast a prophecy spell on a person, the necessary casting materials are various media that can establish a mystical connection with the target.
Unlike most privateer captains who are good at using force, Crystal Captain [Magic Mirror] West possesses a unique forbidden knowledge of divination.
In addition to a wanted poster with a portrait, he also obtained a handkerchief that once belonged to Byron.
After all, after the War of the Throne, the entire Ganquan Palace where the Lancaster family lived fell into the hands of the York family.
It would not be difficult to find some of the personal items once used by the Lancastrians.
Of course, ordinary people can never imagine how well the royal family and nobles with a long tradition protect their mysterious side.
Personal items are better, but it is absolutely impossible to find more directional hair and blood.
The medium most closely associated with him is, at most, a few pieces of underwear that have been washed.
The effects of various divination techniques are naturally greatly limited.
It is by no means an easy task to catch Byron's tail on the vast sea.
[Magic Mirror] West stared at the silver mirror where the light flashed more and more frequently, and he became more and more excited:
“Although I am only a low-sequence transcendent, the mysterious connection between the medium of handkerchief and the target is not strong enough.
Only when the distance is close enough can the location of the [Devil's Son] be locked.
But now I'm pretty sure he's nearby.
You might even encounter him if you just walk around the port! "
“As long as we can capture him, in addition to receiving the full reward of 5,000 pounds.
There is no need to give 10% of the proceeds from each robbery in the next three years to the vampires at Hattings Admiralty Court.
The privateering license in hand no longer has an annoying expiration date.
This is all money, far greater than the temptation of 5,000 pounds! "
He was so excited at the thought that he almost jumped up.
However, when the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a dozen pirate flags fluttering in the wind in the pirate port, he suddenly calmed down again.
These flags sewn with gold edges all belong to the big pirates who sit in the Captain's Council.
Each of them is a mid-sequence transcendent of level three or above!
Fighting is not allowed in Anchor Bay, but open killing is strictly prohibited.
If the law enforcement team is lured here because of a murder on the street, they will not be able to escape without a [navigator] to lead the way through the mysterious lock.
"I want the bounty, and I want the tax exemption on the privateering license.
Every time I think about the money I lost in vain, it feels more uncomfortable than killing me.
But in order to save the face of the big pirates, he must be captured by some extraordinary means.
The reason why the [White Crystal] came to Anchor Bay this time was because it received an order from the men at the Hattings Admiralty Department to assist them in completing a certain mission.
We can't be the only privateers coming here.
There are more wolves and less meat. I have to start early so that I can eat this big piece of fat by myself! "
Thinking of this, West, who was stroking the silver mirror, seemed to have made a difficult decision. He gritted his teeth and suddenly called out:
"Aye-aye!"
Next to him, a short young man who looked to be only 140 centimeters tall at most, responded very simply:
"Yes, Captain!"
He has been playing with a sharp dagger in his hand, and his face is wrinkled, like a short monkey.
[Magic Mirror] West blew hard on the handkerchief that belonged to Byron in his hand.
The latter immediately turned into black powder and scattered on a small mirror, forming a crooked arrow like a child's graffiti.
As the mirror rotates, the arrow miraculously keeps pointing in the same direction.
With a very miraculous and extraordinary ability, he inspired the mystical connection between the handkerchief and Byron at once, and locked his position at close range.
But it also means that once you fail, there is no second chance.
He threw the mirror into the hands of the short pirate nicknamed "Aye-aye" and ordered very solemnly:
“You don’t need to kill people in the streets now.
But whether you steal, rob or lie.
I must get the hair or blood of this target within half an hour. Can you do it? "
The aye-aye stuck out his tongue and licked the blade of the dagger, and said confidently:
"Hey, Captain, don't you know how fast my dagger becomes after spiritual awakening?
My [Elbow Sword Technique] can shave someone's head bald and still make him feel nothing. I can cut someone's throat with one knife and still make him feel no pain.
Just wait for my good news. "
Xin held a knife in his hand, and the dagger disappeared without a trace. He turned around and got into the crowd of people in the port.
West's [Magic Mirror Divination] is the same as the [Blood Brew] that Byron interpreted from "Bloody Mary's Gourmet Recipe", which is also taboo knowledge outside the sequence.
There are more methods than the Tower Sequence [Prophet] who can only follow the rules.
As long as he gets a drop of blood or a piece of hair, he can make the other party die silently without attracting the attention of the law enforcement team.
"Captain, here comes the chair."
Behind him, four particularly strong pirates carried a chair off the ship's deck and respectfully asked the captain to sit on it.
West sat firmly on the lift chair, then waved his hand and directed the crew to walk into the port together.
This is the price of the forbidden knowledge [Magic Mirror Divination]: the terrifying mysophobia!
Like a mirror that absolutely cannot tolerate any dust.
He couldn't stand a little bit of filth and had to take a shower at least three times a day. His body was always spotless, and every place on the pirate ship had to be polished to shine.
Even the only rare item that the White Crystal spent a lot of money to buy has nothing to do with fighting, but is used to purify sea water.
[Magic Mirror] West didn’t even want the mud from the port to get on his shoes.
If he had to go into the dirty alleys to track Byron himself, it would be better to let him die.
...
Below the sign at the pier.
Before Byron realized that another team was chasing him, they were already chasing after him like ghosts in hanging boots.
He followed Eight Finger's gaze and saw a series of wanted notices issued by various countries along the North Sea.
Among them is himself, and he ranks quite high.
There is a picture on it of a young man who is not at all evil, but can be called handsome.
He is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slightly immature look on his face, fair skin, and broad shoulders. He is obviously well-nourished and comes from a good background.
Under the slightly messy black hair, a pair of blue eyes that are standard for the people of the North Island are as deep as the sea.
Byron had seen this wanted poster on the mizzen mast of the cruiser "Severe" before, and the picture on it was exactly what he really looked like.
"[Son of the Devil] Byron, a native of Hetings, 17 years old, strength: unawakened mortal, level 2 wanted criminal, bounty of 5,000 pounds..."
However, apart from the portrait and simple description, there is no origin, no surname, and no deeds.
But among all the most wanted criminals on the East Coast, the reward amount ranks first.
Even surpassing many second-level professional-level extraordinary beings with notorious reputations.
This weird combination made many passing pirates talk about it.
"What kind of major case has a mere mortal committed to deserve this kind of treatment?"
"Isn't it true that you stole the king's treasure and stole the kingdom's princess?"
"I don't know when my reward will be 5,000 pounds?"
In the eyes of lawless pirates, bounties are proof of their own strength and are also the most valuable pirate medals.
After all, the higher the bounty, the more bounty hunters, navies, privateers, and money-hungry secret societies interested in hunting them down, and the more powerful they become.
Being able to get away with being chased and intercepted by them best illustrates how powerful, dangerous and cunning a pirate is!
As word of mouth spread, Byron's legend [12] quietly became [13].
In fact, in this world, [title] itself carries mystery.
A pure [title] is of no use, and a pure [legendary] is of no use either.
But when the two are combined, they can bring real power!
As long as the legend level exceeds [20] and reaches the level of spreading in an area, it will take a few more years to be deeply rooted in people's hearts and the title can be completely solidified.
It is enough to increase the strength of low-sequence extraordinary beings, and it is no joke to defeat the strong with the weak.
Therefore, no pirate will deliberately hide his clumsiness and refuse any opportunity to show off.
Many people even deliberately create various horror legends to make the curve stronger.
This can be seen from the pirates competing with each other for bounties.
Judging from the extent to which this wanted poster has been corroded by sea salt spray and moisture, it should have been posted for less than a day.
"After the military failed, the wanted area really expanded."
Byron immediately realized that Anchor Bay might not be as safe as he thought.
At first, they were pursued by the York family and their cronies, the Navy, which showed that they had plans to minimize their influence.
Now even a wanted poster has appeared in the pirate port, which shows that York's murderous intention towards him has once again increased, and he no longer cares about who kills him.
I just want him to die!
Before being promoted to [Storm Knight], he will still be locked by prophecy.
[Cognition Correction] can only correct low-sequence [Servant] and [Professor] levels, so it is not foolproof.
Everyone around you may suddenly become your enemy.
It is imminent to hold the ceremony, complete the inauguration, and obtain the protection of the [Storm Seal Ring]!
