The one-eyed dragon mate has long heard many stories about strange monsters and evil spirits in this sea.
After realizing something was wrong, he didn't immediately look back.
He knew that when he was not sure what the other person was, turning around suddenly was definitely a taboo among taboos.
Instead, he continued to take two steps forward as if nothing had happened.
The extraordinary person's keen senses were mobilized by him, and he held his breath and paid careful attention to the footsteps behind him.
The three abilities obtained by the [Pirate] in the lighthouse sequence at the squire level are: [Weapon Mastery], [Blue Sheep Footsteps], and [Blind Fighting Expert].
The perception ability is absolutely top-notch.
"Two? Yes, it is indeed two, not three.
I must have drunk too much just now and accidentally had an illusion. "
When he carefully distinguished the footsteps, he found that there were only two footsteps. He breathed a sigh of relief and secretly blamed himself for being suspicious.
However, before he could take another two steps, he heard footsteps behind him suddenly... only one was left!
The one-eyed dragon mate couldn't help but shiver, half of the alcohol on his body was frightened and he woke up.
The pace involuntarily quickened a little more.
And the footsteps behind him follow him like a shadow. If he is fast, the footsteps will be fast. If he is slow, the footsteps will be slow.
What's even more shocking is that just when he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart and was about to run away, the footsteps behind him suddenly changed to two again!
"Asshole! Who is doing this and dares to tease me [One-Eyed Dragon] Arnold?!"
The extreme fear finally turned into a sudden burst of anger. He no longer cared about any taboos and turned his head angrily.
But unexpectedly, he saw one of his two men, Tom, looking at him with an innocent face.
"What's wrong, first mate? You're walking so fast, I almost couldn't keep up with you."
Seeing Tom's familiar face, [One-Eyed Dragon] breathed a sigh of relief.
He also began to wonder more and more whether some hallucinogenic contraband had been added to the wine he drank today by a sinister bar owner, and how could he have hallucinations again and again.
However, before he could completely breathe a sigh of relief, his heart suddenly jumped up again, and he asked sternly at the "minion" in front of him:
"Where's Jerry? Why are you alone?"
He clearly remembered that before he turned around, there were still two footsteps behind him, but when he turned back, there was only one left. Isn't this even more terrifying?
As soon as he finished speaking, a somewhat erratic voice sounded behind him:
"First mate, are you looking for me?"
But the voice was not his subordinate Jerry at all.
"Ah——! Is it you who is doing this? Go to hell!!!"
His mentality went up and down like a roller coaster. Finally, [One-Eyed Dragon] completely collapsed and suddenly drew his sword.
The sword light in the night exploded like lightning, slashing behind him in a sharp arc.
Even without turning around, his slash was as precise as if there were eyes on the back of his head, going straight to the head of the opponent that made the sound.
In fact, ordinary people need to break an inherent stereotype.
Most of those "one-eyed dragons" wearing eye patches on pirate ships are not really blind!
The reason why I wear an eye mask is because there is no shade at sea, the light is very strong most of the time, and the interior of the cabin is dark and cramped.
During robbery or combat, if you suddenly enter the cabin from the deck and your eyes cannot adapt to the changes in light in time, you will easily be attacked by someone and lose your life.
It makes a big difference if you wear a blindfold.
When switching environments, the pirate only needs to move the eyepatch to the other side to reveal the eye that has adapted to the darkness, and can adjust the combat status immediately.
This is also the key to why [Blind Fighting Expert] will become a must-have for [Pirates]!
Not only can it adapt to the environment, but it can also help pirates carry out night battles in an environment with only low light, catching merchant sailors off guard.
But [One-Eyed Dragon] lost his cool and ignored an extremely serious problem.
Who said that the [Wild Hunt] who came to attack him... was only one person?
Just when [One-Eyed Dragon] drew his sword and slashed backwards, the door in his chest opened wide.
The "subordinate" standing in front of him also suddenly drew his sword.
Clang!
Stepping thrust.
Among the three basic attack styles of slashing, thrusting, and cutting, it is the most powerful and the easiest to dodge.
But at this time, the one-eyed dragon was unable to dodge or avoid.
The light from the sword in his hand, which was as cold as the bone, condensed into a line, freezing the one-eyed dragon's blank face like frost, and instantly pierced his heart and lungs!
Byron's swordsmanship was already outstanding, but after getting the passive ability [Sword Mastery] of [Storm Knight], it took it to the next level.
The blow hit, and Byron immediately drew his sword and retreated.
Gus, who was attracting attention behind [One-Eyed Dragon], let out a strange scream and easily dodged the blade that lost its aim.
He immediately leaned forward and stabbed the dagger in his hand deeply into the back of his head.
Successful last shot!
[One-Eyed Dragon] didn't even react the whole time. This was a carefully designed trap.
His face was blank, and he fell to the ground with a "pop".
Byron saw the complete end of history on him through the [Logbook], and then called Gus forward.
"This is the sixth attendant, and I have gathered the materials for the brewing ceremony.
How's your promotion going? "
Obviously, Byron is the [Wild Hunt] who has recently become famous in Anchor Bay!
Moreover, [Wild Hunt] originally represents a group of hunters.
When he was hunting down privateer pirates, he was never alone. Instead, he took Guts, who was about to take office as the Phantom Blade, with him.
After all, Byron is now a pirate captain who relies on his dreams to build a team, not a lonely ranger.
Why fight alone when there are goons available?
Accepting Gus, a well-connected local leader, was Byron's wisest decision.
Whether it is intelligence support, the Silence Talisman or his own abilities, they are impeccable.
“There are no problems with spiritual awakening and prerequisite knowledge.
But probably because my natural sense of existence is too low, the series of [Ritual: The Phantom Killer’s Serial Murders] will continue.
If it is only aimed at first-level servants, six chains are obviously not enough.
It will probably take eight or ten links at most to gain enough presence and re-anchor the [Silver Law]. "
Gus scratched his hair in distress.
The [Phantom Blade] he is about to take up is worthy of being the superior profession of an assassin. Even with Byron's help, beating the person to residual health first, and then asking him to make up the damage, the progress of the ceremony will be extremely difficult.
[Phantom Blade] The core ability at the second-level professional level is called: Phantom Blade.
You can control visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, hallucinations..., and finally control the sense of existence.
Imagine a gun out of thin air, give it a sense of existence, and you can actually use it to kill people.
Just imagine that you have different numbers of phantom limbs, and you can use them to wield swords easily...
The promotion ceremony [Phantom Killer's Serial Murder Case] is all about mystery, like magic, killing people and making the other person's death mysterious at the same time.
Only in this way can you kill the target and at the same time take away part of the opponent's sense of existence.
Not only can it strengthen itself, but even if the victim's body is thrown on the street, no one will be able to find it.
And Byron's [cognitive modification] is enough to allow him to play a guest role as an ever-changing and strange killer.
Even if the upper limit of disguised objects can only be of the same level, under the protection of [Storm Seal Ring], it is almost impossible to be seen through by [Spirit Vision].
Just now, the two of them cooperated with each other to achieve the same effect as hitting a ghost.
When he heard three footsteps, Byron came behind the one-eyed dragon. When he heard two footsteps, he had already killed one of his men, and Gus dragged him away.
The last minion has been taken care of in one sound.
When they transformed back into two voices, both of them were hanging behind [One-Eyed Dragon], and they also had a follow-up attack from east to west!
Of course, the realization of this weird effect is indispensable with the help of the specialty of Anchor Bay [Whale Bone Amulet·Silent Sound].
It is said that a series of whale bone talismans are the unique forbidden knowledge of the North Sea Pirate King [Whale Hunter], and only direct members of the Iron Anchor Bay are qualified to learn it.
There is no way to get [Silent Amulet], a contraband item that is specifically designed to do bad things.
Without waiting for Byron's instructions, Gus, the money-lover, had already plundered all the valuables from [One-Eyed Dragon].
Even the leather jacket, brass buttons, eye mask, and even a bank deposit slip full of smelly salted fish hidden in the insole were not left out.
These are not money, but Gus's freedom and dignity, which must not be thrown on the ground!
Byron also reviewed the history of the one-eyed dragon and merged it with the history of other souls killed by the sword.
“On the last day of October, the pirate ships under the Hattings Privateering Alliance were all present.
Today, the first day of November, a member of the Captains' Council summoned all the privateer captains who are eligible to vote.
There will be a big move soon. "
[Secret: The Conspiracy of the Admiralty, Historical Influence 20] The original decryption density jumped to 35% from 18%.
“It’s solid.
Are these guys colluding internally and externally and finally taking action? "
Byron shook his head and decided to do the most important business first.
Have Gus step aside and be on guard.
He used the blood of [One-eyed Dragon] that had not yet solidified to draw a ritual circle on the ground with a hexagram as the main body and numerous runes intertwined with it.
There are words in his mouth:
"Blood is power, blood is life, blood is the origin, blood is everything...
Take the blood of the Lamb and put it on my heart, and purify me, that I may be whiter than snow...
Take the blood of my enemies and put it on my hands and strengthen me so that I may be stronger than a bear..."
This is the ritual for brewing [Transmutation Blood]: [Holy Grail of Blood]!
