"So many raw mana stones? This is a good thing."
Plissen, who had just arrived at the third-level cabin, looked at the huge piles of milky-white stones in front of him, almost filling half of the cabin, with a look of surprise on his face.
"With such a huge quantity, even if the magic stone content in the hollow rough stone is very low, the value contained in it is probably an astronomical figure." Plisson grinned and looked at the golden elk mark on the largest milky white boulder. , touching his chin, wondering what he was thinking about.
"But I have to say that these guys are really brave and dare to steal the goods of the Golden Elk Family."
In the northern part of the empire, apart from the red-blooded lion who dominates all the nobles in the north, there are two duke families. One is the Annecy family with a long heritage and whose emblem is swan wings. The other one is the Wobilens family, which favors the new aristocratic forces and whose emblem is the golden elk.
Speaking of the Golden Elk family, we have to mention its current patriarch, Duke Vobilens, one of the twelve princes of the empire.
The Duke's full name is Euken Vobilens. Although his personal life style is very problematic in the aristocratic circles in the north, his ability is beyond doubt.
"This thing is good, but it's a hot potato." Plisson walked to the pile of boulders and touched it gently with his hand.
These milky-white boulders look huge and heavy, but their real weight is much lighter than ordinary stones.
Because this is a mana stone, most of the white rocks that look thick on the outside are actually useless shells, and only 0.5% or even less of what can truly be called a mana stone.
But these are still treasures of infinite value because they are numerous and large enough. You know, an ordinary magic stone the size of a fist is worth 30,000 or even 40,000 dolers, and the huge amount of raw magic stone in front of you, even if the magic stone content in it is extremely low, is still a A rare piece of wealth.
"With such a large number of magic stones, this is a very important strategic material, but it is really not a wise choice to anger a duke for this." Plisson tapped the magic stone lightly. The smooth white shell of the original stone showed a strange smile on his face, "After all, in the face of life and wealth, the former is the most important... But for pirates, this conclusion may need to change. Just a moment."
Pleasant suddenly put on the bone mask in his pocket, and then instantly pulled out Kuang Lan from his waist.
"Condensation!" With Plisson's roar, the water element containing a strong magical aura instantly condensed in the air and turned into the shape of a drill.
"Put it on!" The drill bit seemed to have spirituality, dancing in the largest milky white boulder following Plisson's voice. The rapidly rotating water element drill bit easily broke through the white shell of the magic rough stone, which was not hard.
"Up, oh no, go to the left, wait, this broken drill bit seems to have gone through..."
Under Pleasant's meticulous command, the largest milky-white rough stone soon became only a few white stone fragments scattered around the cabin. The most precious part inside it, a mana stone the size of a fist, was enveloped by the water element that immediately turned into soft water the moment the rhinestone bit touched it.
"You are worthy of me. With this ability, even if you don't become a pirate, you might still be able to get the title of senior cutter in the imperial mines." Plisson laughed briefly and then took off his mask. , inserting Kuang Lan back into the scabbard on his waist, "It's just that such fine control consumes a lot of extraordinary power. Cutting one at a time is the limit."
"Put these here first, and then cut them one by one when you have time." Plisson transferred the mana stone wrapped in the water element into the core space, and then returned to the deck.
At this time, Chief Suoan was commanding the crew to control the two ships, and the prisoners were each given a wooden plank as Plisson said, floating on the sea not far behind the two ships.
As for the prisoner who revealed the information in advance and obtained a complete boat, he did not care about his former colleagues at all. Amidst the scoldings of many pirates, he gnawed bread, drank rum, and waved The paddle faced the other side of the sea.
"First mate, what are our casualties?" Pleasant leaned on the railing and watched the prisoner in the boat gradually move away.
"Unfortunately, three crew members died in the gunfire, and seven crew members were seriously injured and may need to rest for a while." Suoan replied to Plisson, who was back on the deck.
"Do the three dead crew members have families? Can they be found?"
"I'm sorry, Captain, most of the crew members on the Ghost Sheep are alone. Remy, Saka, and old Cui Di at the helm, they are all like this."
"Alone..." Plisson sighed with emotion. There were many people in Norton who had no relatives like him.
He took out seven 100-doler bills from his arms and handed them to Soan. "Distribute these coins to the wounded, 100-doler bills each. This is a reward for their bravery."
"Thank you for your kindness."
"This is what I should do."
Pleasant turned his head and looked at the captain's cabin of the three-year-old sailboat, and walked forward slowly.
"I hope the captain's cabin of this ship has a nice environment and a good enough bed."
...
In the northern part of Duran Province, on a beach near the golden sea.
A huge green sticky monster is squirming on the beach at an unimaginable speed. This huge green monster is like a piece of green dough, with a sticky liquid-like appearance that looks extremely soft.
The monster moved very fast, and within a few seconds it moved from the grass next to the beach to the seaside. The distance of nearly 100 meters seemed to him like a simple step.
After arriving at the seaside, several thick and long tentacles protruded from the body of the huge green slimy monster and gradually approached the seawater. However, the monster did not enter the ocean. His tentacles only touched a little seawater and then quickly moved away. Shrank back.
"arrive."
A vicissitude of sound came from the monster, and then something unbelievable happened here. The green monster that had just opened its teeth and stretched out its tentacles shrunk dozens of times in just a few seconds, and gradually transformed into a Green silhouette of a human figure.
"Ship." The vicissitudes of voice came out from the human-shaped green outline again. Almost as soon as the sound was uttered, the sticky green outline solidified instantly and became a real "person".
This is a middle-aged man with dark green broken hair. The man is wearing a slightly worn noble robe, and a platinum noble medal hangs on his chest.
The shining coat of arms illuminated his slightly older face; the extremely deep dark green pupils made him exude a residual sense of majesty.
He is Ryan Burlington, the Marquis of the Empire, the legendary alchemist, and the former governor of Duran Province.
However, five years ago, these identities were all turned into fleeting dust due to an accident. After being given a new life by that adult, Ryan Burlington now has a new name—— 12th.
"Ship, come!" Following Marquis Lane's words, a small wooden boat floated up from the cold water. Marquis Lane, who was dragging his shabby robes, didn't say much, and boarded the seemingly ordinary little boat with dead wood.
"I hope I can catch up." Marquis Lane took out an ancient parchment book from his arms. He held the ancient book in his hands and muttered something unknown.
After just a few seconds of chanting, a green light spread from the book, and a transparent circle suddenly appeared from the air and wrapped the dead wood boat made by Marquis Lane.
"Let's go." Marquis Lane uttered a word, and then the bubble-shaped circle took the boat and sank into the sea...
