"Do you think the incident that happened to Norton ten years ago was related to the Ghost Earl?" Werdanti said quietly.
"This is the worst plan, but I think it is not far from the truth." Vitor's tone obviously paused, "The ghost ship, an inherited artifact that can only be owned by the previous West Sea Pirate Kings, was used by the second West Sea Pirate King. After the king sailed into the abyss, he disappeared without a trace. Therefore, most of the pirate kings of the West Sea after that simply relied on their own strength to stand out among the many pirates and obtain this title, such as Noson who is still imprisoned in the black coral.
"As for the guy who can turn the entire Inrigos into a ghost land of the undead, except for the current pirate king and the owner of the ghost ship, I really can't think of anyone else who can do it."
"Indeed... you are right, but we cannot rule out the possibility of other situations."
"That's true, but we should really pay attention to this most likely conjecture."
"The Ghost Count's ghost ship can transform the surrounding dead into mindless undead controlled by the ship. These transformed undead have some of the power of their lifetimes and carry the characteristics of immortality. As far as I know, the Ghost Count is Among the transformed undead, there are many powerful men of legendary rank. If that disaster was really caused by him, if you want to go deep into Inriges to retrieve such things, even you... would be a little reluctant. "
Vitor said with determination, "I'm going to use the Sin Pattern Curse."
"...I think I understand the purpose of your coming here." Verdanti slowly stood up from the sofa, and at some point a silver pendant appeared in his hand. The pendant Extraordinarily exquisite, the bottom of the pendant is engraved with two reversed wings, and the entire pendant exudes a mysterious atmosphere.
"096..." Vitor's rose-red eyes revealed a rare trace of confusion, as if this coat of arms reminded him of something in the past.
"Take it, this thing can only play its real role in your hands." Verdanti put the silver pendant in Vitor's hand.
Vitor took the pendant and didn't reply for a long time. After a long silence, he slowly spoke to Virdanti: "I will definitely get something like that back."
"I believe you." Virdanti showed a slight smile to Vitor.
"Then Duke, if nothing happens, Luas and I will take our leave first." Vitor pulled Luas and slowly stood up.
"Eh? Xiaowei, don't you want to have afternoon tea before leaving?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Duke, I still have some trivial matters to resolve in Norton. In order not to delay Inriges' schedule, we have to go back as soon as possible."
"Okay then, Mr. Governor."
Virdanti watched Vitor and Luas leave the gate of the Duke's Palace, the slight smile gradually disappeared on her beautiful face, and a trace of sadness flashed in her silver eyes.
"Mr. Coulon, do you see any clues?" Ikaria said slowly to the empty corridor next to the hall.
"The mark of sin has eroded Mr. Vitor more and more seriously. Without the seal of Grand Duke Rogge, the power of the curse has begun to spread throughout his body. If Grand Duke Rogge still does not come back from the Far North Abyss, I'm afraid... ...Mr. Vitor will not be able to survive next year's frost moon." A puff of black smoke suddenly appeared in the long corridor. Under the smoke, a bald old man wearing a purple robe slowly walked from the corridor. Walking towards the hall.
"Besides the thing from Inrigus, is there no other way to suppress the curse on Thor?"
"Miss, you should know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the son of the Grand Duke above the court, right?"
"..." Werdanti remained silent.
"Entering Inriges is Mr. Vitor's last chance. He must walk this road by himself."
"After Archduke Rogge left, the situation in the empire became more and more chaotic." Verdanti sighed deeply, "What I'm worried about is whether he can get that thing back."
"You can rest assured about this. Grand Duke Rogge borrowed the power of 003 to set up a prohibition seal on Inriges ten years ago, which restricted the living corpses inside from entering the outside world, and also restricted the entry of legendary powerhouses."
"And now that the seal period has not expired, even if the undead ghost disaster is really caused by the Ghost Count, how many living corpses with legendary strength can be left there after so many years? With the power of the sin pattern curse, only How can an undead with partial strength in life be the opponent of Governor Vitor? Why should the young lady worry about this matter?"
Weldanti said uneasily: "Mr. Coulon, have you ever heard of such a rumor in the Western Sea?"
"What rumors?"
"The owner of the ghost ship, the current pirate king of the West Sea, Count Ghost... is an ordinary person who cannot use extraordinary power."
"Absolutely impossible!" Coulon's expression suddenly became serious. "The three-headed evil spirits in Ghost City, the 'tyrant' Sevis on Turtle Island, the lunatic Yolsa wandering in Seagull Gap, and... There's...the first mate of the Scourge."
"Which of these guys is not the pinnacle of the pirate world in the West Sea that can rival the saint? Will this group of extremely vicious people allow an ordinary person without any extraordinary power to ascend to the throne of the king?"
Weldanti looked uneasy, her frown still showing no signs of tightening.
"The three deputy city lords of Ghost City are all high-ranking legends. Although they each have their own strengths, they do not cooperate with each other. They cannot be regarded as a complete saint."
"The 'tyrant' Sevis of Turtle Island does have saint-level combat power, but most of his power comes from the 'loan' given to him by Mr. Jerlend. Although he has the name of a tyrant, he actually has The above is just a chess piece manipulated by Mr. Gerund and Archduke Bellvien."
"That crazy Jolsa from Seagull Gap, he is indeed a genuine saint, and indeed a madman without a mind. He wanders in the Seagull Gap and never leaves. The change of pirate king in the West Sea is probably related to him. It doesn’t matter.”
"As for the first mate of the Scourge, there is no doubt about his strength, but he is probably focused on rescuing his imprisoned captain, and may not be focused on competing for the position of Pirate King."
The old man named Coulon shook his head after listening to what Werdanti said, and then continued: "Even if these guys didn't cause any trouble, miss, do you think that the ghost ship, as the inherited artifact of the West Sea, would choose someone who is not Do ordinary people who are extraordinary become their own masters?”
"I hope this rumor I heard is just a rumor." Weldandi sighed lightly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes for some reason. "Mr. Coulomb, I want to be alone."
"Okay, miss, I hope you won't be too entangled in this matter." As the words came out, Coulon's body instantly condensed into a very strange black mist, and disappeared into the hall of the Duke's Palace in the blink of an eye.
Verdanti sat on the sofa in a daze, and slowly took out a wooden photo frame from her arms. The photo frame was not exquisite, it could even be said to be very ordinary. Inside it was a simple photo. In the photo is a young woman wearing a Skyhawk military uniform. The woman has long, silky golden hair and ruby-like eyes. Her beautiful face exudes a touch of elegance, which makes people fascinated.
With red eyes, Werdanti stared blankly at the photo in the frame. She was speechless for a long time, and a glistening teardrop dropped from her eyes onto the photo frame she was holding in her hand.
"Miss Ellie..." She wiped the tears on the photo with her hands, and also wiped the tears in her own eyes, "Everything... will be fine."
