"Its daybreak……"
Black Jack lay on the bow of the ship, looking at the sun jumping out of the sea in the distance, and said lazily: "'Epidemic Doctor', if it weren't for your heroic performance last night, we would still be chased by that bastard Domitri. "
Euan was lying next to him, looking at the sky calmly, without responding.
At this moment, his mind was still thinking about what happened last night. Every time he recalled it, the memory became clearer.
He jumped off the Bekli, walked through the storm, came to the black carriage, took out the magic book called "Zafarullah's Book of Glory", and then...
Then there is no more.
After being here, all the memories seemed to be directly erased. All he knew was that he finally woke up in the center of the storm, the black carriage disappeared, and he won.
But what about the process in between?
How did you win, and what was the result?
He doesn't know anything!
Thinking of this, You An couldn't help but sigh.
"Why……"
"Um?"
Black Jack was startled when he heard the sigh next to him, but thinking about what happened last night, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart.
In fact, when he led a group of pirates to fight Domitri to the death, he deliberately wanted to investigate the battle between Euan and the carriage.
However, his origin exploration was blocked by an extremely evil force.
I originally thought it was due to the "Garmendia's Dream" on the black carriage and the out-of-control collision of the Stormhorn, but...
It now appears that this is not the case.
"I'm talking about you two,"
At this time, Menor, who was standing on the side of the boat behind them, asked helplessly: "I really have other things to delay, so you don't have to ignore me until now, right?"
"You and I now clearly, solemnly and solemnly inform you that your cooperation with our Black Pearl - is impossible!" Black Jack snorted.
"First Mate Jack..."
"go away!"
"hey-hey……"
Menor glared at Croya who was snickering, and quietly waved his hand for him to come forward and explain.
I don't.
Croya refused silently. He had never interacted with the people on this ship. Wouldn't he be scolded if he spoke at this time?
Menoer had no choice but to jump on the bow statue, sit on Yuan's side, and said: "Euan, you must have seen the gravedigger yesterday, right?"
"Yeah." Euan nodded.
"'Epidemic Doctor', don't pay attention to this bastard. If he hadn't come so late, how could there have been so many deaths on the ship? There are thirty-seven pirates, including two ruling-level and five director-level extraordinary... "
Speaking of this, Black Jack's tone was full of resentment.
"I'm sorry," Menor said coquettishly, "I was supposed to come here very early, but I was delayed by the Manatee tribe's affairs on the way. I'm really sorry."
"The Manatee Clan? Why didn't you say it was the Sea Crow Clan?" Black Jack glared at him sideways, "Do you know how dangerous last night was? I almost..."
"Jack, stop talking!" At this time, Euan raised his hand to interrupt him.
"snort!"
Black Jack turned his head and said nothing more.
"Did you just say the Manatee Tribe?" Euan sat up, looked at Menor and asked, "Have you also contacted them about this matter?"
"Yes." Menor gave him a look of thanks and quickly explained: "You should have heard that among the five sea tribes, only the Manatee tribe is friendlier to humans."
"This discovery of the Twilight Sect's layout throughout the Kordo Sea must involve a larger conspiracy. The most important thing now is to find out their target and find out the truth behind this matter."
"And with the help of the Sea Clan, we can find their hiding place faster and have some clues about what happens next..."
"Then what are you looking for us for?" Black Jack frowned, still asking with a bit of displeasure on his face: "You should know that in this sea area, those sea people have always had deep prejudices against us, the Black Pearl. .”
"Especially the Sea Crow Clan, they come out from time to time saying that the boss has taken their sacred objects, which is very annoying."
"The Sea Crow Clan?" Menor thought for a few seconds and said with a more serious expression: "Then it must be Captain Isabello who took their things."
"Huh?" Black Jack was stunned for a moment, "I specifically asked the boss, and he said he had never taken it, or even seen it... How can you be sure?"
"I have seen the records of the Sea Clan in the epochal relics of the Eternal Life Society. Among them, the Sea Crow Clan is the most mysterious existence among the Sea Clan. However, it is said that they have the ability to see through the long river of destiny, even better than the destiny of the Occult School. The divination system needs to be more accurate.”
"I've heard about it too," Euan recalled, and echoed: "The fate divination system of the Occult School comes from the Destiny School of the Third Era. But it is said that the spells they master were accidentally discovered by the founder. Learned from the sea.”
"You mean...the destiny divination system comes from the Sea Crow Clan?"
"It's very possible!" Menor's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, we can contact the Sea Crow Clan through the Manatee Clan and try to get them to participate in this matter."
Black Jack frowned and said displeased: "Menor, let's not say whether the boss will agree to cooperate with your Eternal Life Society, but I know that the boss will be very unhappy when the matter of the Sea Crow Clan is mentioned."
"We'll talk about it after we see him." Menor said nonchalantly.
"You can't see..."
Menor quickly put his arm on his shoulder, "Jack, don't say this again. You should know that the Twilight Sect has now become the enemy of your Black Pearl. You also saw this in the battle last night. .”
"So what? Wait until the boss recovers from his injury..."
Black Jack realized that he had let slip, and quickly changed his words: "I need to ask Hammer Girl about this in advance. If she agrees, I will take you there."
"Okay, I'll write her a letter later, and you can give it to him as well." Menor nodded in agreement.
"If it weren't for the boss, I wouldn't..."
Black Jack muttered again, climbed up and jumped to the deck, shouting to the pirates who were gathering in twos and threes around him: "Clean the deck and prepare to set sail!"
"Huh? Boss, no, the battle just ended..."
"Let's take another break, shall we?"
"Only those unlucky ones who died last night need to rest. What rest do you bastards have? Do you think you didn't die fast enough?"
Black Jack cursed, and when he saw Marco and others on the other side, his face suddenly turned into a smile.
"In last night's battle, your ninth team made great contributions. When we get to Awad Island, I will definitely invite you to the high tower to show off!"
"By the way Marco, please contact Wei En and order some [explosive sniper rifles]!"
Black Jack's heart felt hot when he thought about the role played by those gunmen last night.
If it weren't for the power of those [explosive sniper rifles], the battle with the Araniga last night would not have been possible with just such a small number of sacrifices, leaving them with nearly a hundred corpses.
"How many orders?" Marco did not refuse.
In fact, he also believed that ordering more useful weapons like [Explosive Sniper Rifle] would definitely be helpful.
"Two, forget it, just tell him and order fifty!" Black Jack said with a pained look on his face.
Good stuff, apart from being expensive, there really are no downsides.
"so many?"
"Not many. We still have more than a dozen gunners on the Bekli who can be replaced. Plus those on the Black Pearl, I feel like fifty gunners are not enough."
A smile appeared on Black Jack's lips, and he suddenly thought that he couldn't let the bastard on Wojciech Island take it.
Charging them one hundred thousand gold pounds... shouldn't be too much, right?
Marco nodded, turned around and took Moslak into the cabin, preparing to contact Wei En.
On the other side, Euan and Menor looked at Black Jack preparing to set sail and smiled at each other.
"Speaking of which, I went to see Wayne before." Menor looked at Euan and smiled.
"oh?"
Euan didn't understand his intention of mentioning Wei En at this time.
"Do you remember the Claire who was with Wayne?"
"Remember, she is a member of your Eternal Life Society, 'Thousand Faces'?"
"Well," Menor nodded, "a few days ago, she was captured by the Twilight Sect. To be precise, she was the 'Lord of True Slaughter'."
"Huh?" Euan frowned, "Did the person hiding behind show up?"
"She was unlucky, and so was Wayne. She bumped into a gravedigger recycling the 'Dream of Carmendia', and then was sacrificed by the gravedigger to summon the McAllister projection."
"That's it..."
Euan's mind recalled the appearance of Wayne, who had just arrived in Custer City State at that time.
With his thin figure and dark face, both his speech and behavior reveal his timidity towards the unfamiliar world.
At that time, Wayne was just like the people in the slums of Custer City. He counted the money in his hands with his fingers every day, searching for food and clothing.
When did he start to change?
After going to the secret blending department?
Probably not. It seemed that a few days after he was introduced to the Secret Adjustment Department, he became more alive and no longer as lifeless as before. His eyes showed resentment towards the entire world.
There was a look of reminiscence on Yoan's face. Yes, it should have changed at that time.
At that time, the reason why I introduced Wei En to the Secret Adjustment Department was that I was worried that he would one day starve to death and freeze to death in his room if he continued like that. Secondly, I also felt that after going to the Secret Adjustment Department, once he was contaminated, someone would be able to do it. Process it so that it will not be thrown into the sewers of slums like garbage...
But he didn't expect that since he entered the Secret Adjustment Department, he seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only was he successfully promoted to a wizard apprentice, but he also became a competent investigator.
If it hadn't been for Alais's matter, maybe he would have stayed in the city of Custer...
"Is he okay?"
"He? You mean Wei En?" Menor said slightly surprised: "It's okay. When I went there, he had already told the ghosts about the Twilight Sect's plan in the Cordo Sea, as well as the spiritual secrets."
He knew You An's temperament and generally didn't care about people and things that had nothing to do with him. He didn't expect to take the initiative to ask Wei En how he felt.
"Lingmi?" You An raised his eyebrows, "That boy Wei En, is he still related to the Lingmi School?"
"More than that, he did something big that even I can't do!"
Menor said enthusiastically: "For example, in the matter of the Twilight Sect, not only ghosts, spiritual secrets, but also blood spirits, as well as the shadow schools of the southern continent, are also involved."
"Do you know everyone except the Mechanical School?" You An also asked with great interest: "How did he do it?"
"I haven't found out the specifics, but I think it must have been a big price to pay. I said 'epidemic doctor', you haven't contacted the occult school for a long time, right? There have been several major events in your wizarding world recently."
Wizarding World?
Youan's expression changed slightly and he fell silent for a moment.
It has indeed been a long time since he took the initiative to explore the wizarding world, especially things related to the occult school...
In other words, since he went to sea, he has never...
"Tell me more about it."
Menor was sensible and did not ask further questions, but introduced: "One is that some time ago, a great wizard of the Ghost School announced in the nightmare world about the common defects of spell runes, which almost caused all schools to start self-examination for defects overnight. and amend.”
"Spell rune defect? What defect?"
"I don't know the specifics. As you know, I am not a wizard. I just heard that various schools are currently investigating and repairing spell defects. It is said that there are quite a few."
You An felt relieved, but still asked doubtfully: "You just said he was the great wizard of the Ghost School? Didn't they ask him about the subsequent flaws?"
"The strange thing is that the great wizard who is said to be the ghost school has never appeared again. Maybe the ghost himself knows his identity and wants to protect him..."
Spell rune flaws...
Youan thought for a few seconds and couldn't help but sigh silently again.
Perhaps, it was time for him to contact the Mystic School.
"The rest is that the Shadow School sent people to the ghosts..."
While Black Jack and others were busy setting sail, several figures appeared furtively in the corner of the cabin of the Bekli.
"Elder Troy, I..."
"You idiot, call me Kurt!"
"Kurt, are you sure you want me to dress like this?"
I saw a girl in cool clothes, holding her short skirt awkwardly on her thighs, looking nervously at a pirate in front of her and saying, "I always feel like this..."
Troy, who was pretending to be a pirate, looked her up and down, with a smile on his lips, "Be patient, wait until you see that person..."
"Someone is coming." Another pirate standing outside the cabin door knocked on the porthole and warned.
"Stop talking yet!"
With a hint of warning in his eyes, Troy turned around and walked out.
Not long after, they saw a young pirate wearing a black jacket and with beautiful red hair walking in.
"Red hair?!" Troy's eyes widened, that figure...
Marco looked up and saw the Sea Crow version of pirates and women. He couldn't help but smile, his white teeth shining brightly in the dark cabin.
"Old Kurt, please call me Tyrant!"
tyrant?
Troy and the people around him looked at each other and said with a smile: "Marco, 'tyrant' is a good title."
After the last time, he knew that the person he saw at that time was not the red-haired man, but the deformed wizard named Wei En.
But when he bumped into that identical figure, he was still startled.
"You think so too, right? Haha..."
Marco looked at their actions and his eyes changed slightly. There is a big problem with these people.
How dare you not call him "Captain Marco"? !
…
…
Alexei Island.
The rising sun illuminates this silent island, and some noisy sounds begin to appear in the neatly built city-state.
From the trading area, to the shop area, and then to the garrison area on the periphery of the center, there are hungover pirates smelling of alcohol, busy merchant ships preparing to set sail, and newsboys selling newspapers.
"...The latest news from the Cordo Bulletin, in the D112-C113 waters, the Araniga pursued the Bekli. In the end, it was Chief Officer Domitri who killed Chief Officer Blackjack, or..."
"A huge storm was born in the sea, swallowing up more than ten pirate ships and merchant ships, and the death toll was no less than a thousand people!"
"The 'Abnormal Wizard' Wayne Loft took action again and killed the captain of the Black Pearl 'One-Eyed' Adorad Walls in the Alexei City-State Arena. At the same time..."
"The Sawyer family withdrew the reward of 100,000 gold pounds for the 'abnormal wizard' Wayne Loft, saying that their family's heir, Ms. Vianne Emma Sawyer, voluntarily joined the Leonard."
"The latest news from the Custer City-State Council has announced that no one will be denied entry or exit from the city-state, including those who were previously wanted with bounties on them. It is reported that Ying and Wei En are related..."
"Cardinal Archbishop Henrietta of the Dawn Church said in an interview last night that the verdict and trial of Wayne Loft stemmed from his evil deeds in the city of Custer, and he had absolutely no intention of being at odds with the Ghost School..."
Wayne Loft, killed One Eye? !
Or last night?
Hearing the newsboy's cry, almost all the pirates woke up instantly and ran to buy a copy of the Cordo Gazette. They ignored the news about the battle between the Black Pearl and the Araniga and turned to the second page...
I saw a photo that took up a whole page in the newspaper - Wei En stood calmly in the center of the arena, at his feet were Eldorade, whose head was missing, Honattan and Flanda who were collapsed, and behind them around……
"F*ck, I just took a nap, but such a big thing happened over there in the arena?"
"Did you see that? Everyone in the audience went crazy?!"
"Why are you crazy? I'm still standing here fine now. It was just that I was affected by the spell and fell into an illusion."
"What illusion?"
"Can not remember!"
In the city-state, the people who woke up were immediately shocked by what happened in the arena.
As more and more people were awakened, more information became familiar than could be found in newspapers.
The "one-eyed" man wanted to die on his own, and he picked out the "distorted wizard" in the audience at a glance.
The one who single-handedly forced the three great pirates to surrender and left gracefully.
There are also rumors that the "Deformed Wizard" is currently living in the Baskabiru Hotel...but not many people believe it.
Among the crowd, Xia Di Cayetano, who was wearing a black robe from the Ghost School, looked at the newspaper with a calm expression, and his eyes fell on the photo.
"I didn't expect this new team leader to be so strong..."
He has been on the island for many years and is very aware of the strength of the three great pirates. It can be said that they are the group of people standing on the top of the tower in the entire Cordo Sea.
But such strength could be defeated by Wei En alone... No!
To be precise, the entire arena was cleared with one of his spells...
Xia Di narrowed her eyes slightly and murmured: "I'm really curious what kind of spell that is..."
At the same time, inside the Baskabiru Hotel.
"The freshest blue marlin sashimi, the largest lobster, and the snow eel..."
Early in the morning, Ericon Baskabiru got up early and went to the kitchen behind the hotel to take charge.
"Boss, the snow eels haven't been delivered yet..."
"I don't care what method you use, get me the snow eel right now, immediately!"
"yes……"
Not long after, amidst the anxiety of the chefs, Ericon looked at the dishes on the food delivery truck, showed a satisfied smile, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, help me get a new calendar 1120 from the Nanfeisi Winery..."
Everything was ready, Ericon looked at the time, seven o'clock in the morning was exactly right.
He refused the attendant's help and pushed the dining cart alone through the hall and took the steam ladder to the innermost room on the third floor and went up to knock on the door.
Dang, Dang Dang.
"Please come in."
Hearing the peaceful voice inside, Ericon tidied his clothes and pushed the dining cart in with a bright smile on his face.
"Wizard Wei En, the hotel has specially prepared breakfast for you, please enjoy it..."
"Just leave it at the door."
"Okay, enjoy your meal."
With a few words, Ericon put the food on the table by the door, pushed the cart and walked out, not forgetting to close the door gently.
After doing this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.
This is my second day here, come on!
Not to mention Ericon's caution, Wayne inside the door was wearing a burgundy shirt, holding the bloody ear provided by Black Jack in his hand, and chuckled: "Really? I hope I can help you." "
Then the ears twitched a few times, and Marco's voice came.
"It helped a lot. Those people on the Araniga were almost killed. Besides, I'm contacting you this time not only to reminisce about old times, but also because of Boss Jack's orders."
"Oh? What order, does it have to do with me?"
"The boss said that sixteen [explosion sniper rifles] are too petty, and he wants to order fifty more this time!"
Wayne raised his eyebrows, "Fifty? Are you sure?"
One [explosion sniper rifle] is worth ten thousand gold pounds, fifty is worth half a million gold pounds...
Black Jack is willing to give up?
It seems that the battle between them and the Araniga last night was true, and those [explosion sniper rifles] played a great role.
"Of course, I think what he means is that he will probably give some [explosion sniper rifles] to gunners on other ships for use."
"Is this so..."
Wayne thought for a moment, with a smile on his face, "Marco, fifty is no problem, but it will take longer."
"What? You shouldn't have anything to do recently, right?"
"No, something's wrong!"
With that said, Wei En briefly recounted what happened on Alexei Island, and at the same time made a request: "As long as Black Jack agrees to let 'Pretty Hand' and 'Slayer' take orders next, I will rush to work on a batch of [Explosive Sniper] Gun] go over.”
"You killed another big pirate..."
Marco's voice on the other side of the ear was slightly complicated, with both disappointment and joy, "Fortunately you are not pretending to be me now, otherwise I may not be able to stay at sea in the future."
"However, I think Boss Jack would agree with what you just said. You can only blame 'One Eye' for being killed in the arena..."
"Please ask Black Jack for me."
Wayne knew that Marco was right, and at the same time, he was sure that he would exchange the conditions agreed by "Beautiful Hand" for the layout of the rune circle, but it was still not as convenient as Black Jack's direct order.
And in this way, he can change that condition to something else.
For example, asking Frenda and the others to help deal with Alais and others... can be regarded as leaving a back-up.
"No problem." Marco agreed immediately, and then said: "There is one last thing I want to ask your opinion on."
"you say."
"Do you know anyone from the Sea Crow Clan? An elder named Troy?"
"The Sea Crow Clan?"
Wayne was startled, he never expected Marco to talk about this.
"I know him, and I met him once when I pretended to be you before."
"It's good to know each other. Do you know their purpose?"
"The purpose..." Wei En recalled for a moment and said hesitantly: "Is it the 'Sea Emperor' Isabello Clijsters?"
"You know," Marco continued: "As long as they don't have malicious intentions, then I'm relieved."
"Malicious?"
"That's it..."
A minute later, after listening to Marco's story, Wayne suddenly felt dumbfounded.
He never expected that the Sea Crows would not give up and climbed aboard the Bekli, wanting to use the same method they used on the Storm Hunter to get to Wojciech Island, the headquarters of the Black Pearl...
"I can't say for sure on this matter, but I think with their strength, even if they get to Wojciech, they won't have any impact on your Black Pearl."
"That's true..." Marco's tone relaxed slightly, "Okay, I'll go find Boss Jack now and I'll reply to you later."
"good."
Wei En put away the bloody ear, turned around and walked to the dining table at the door. Looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, he couldn't help but smile.
When he woke up in the morning, he learned the messy information outside through his spiritual perception.
I thought that what he did in the arena last night would become the front page of the Cordo Sea, but I didn't expect that there would be even more commotion on Black Jack's side.
The Araniga raided the Bekli, and the battle between the two sides caused a huge storm at sea. Not only were more than a dozen pirate groups wiped out, but they also suffered dozens of casualties, including many ruling-level and director-level extraordinary people...
Compared with that there, he only killed a "One-Eyed" in the arena, which was really not enough.
With this in mind, Wei En packed up the food, took out the golden key, entered the theater, opened the door and left the studio.
Sawa, who was sitting at the dining table, had been staring at him with her pale eyes.
"Good morning, Wayne."
"morning."
Wayne said hello and looked at the three people in front of the dining table. Except for Miss Zombie, Xiao Baimao had also gotten up and was looking at the manuscript in Gonzalez language seriously.
Also reading was Pafula... She was holding a book and reading it with gusto, and she didn't even notice that there was another person next to her.
"What are you looking at?"
(End of chapter)
