Chapter 250 Shocking Discovery!
"Woooooooo..."
"You're absolutely right!"
"If those damn nobles hadn't forced me to do so, I wouldn't have chosen to go to sea, and Dawn..."
"Yes! I admit that the brilliance of the Church of Dawn allows many people not to worry about the pollution of the red moon, but the bishops of the major city-states are too much. They only want to unite with those nobles to make gold pounds!"
"Brother, which pirate group are you from? With your strength and knowledge, it shouldn't be possible for you to remain unknown in the Cordo Sea, right?"
Looking at the pirate in front of him who was beaten black and blue, Wei En kept his deception talent activated and said carelessly:
"A small pirate group is not as good as the Devil you are on. Speaking of which, it is really difficult for a small pirate group to encounter all kinds of dangers at sea."
"Not only are there storms, taboos, and aberrations, but they are also often bullied by the big pirates. A few days ago, we encountered a steamship from the Black Pearl, which was the smallest of its kind."
"Then what?"
The three pirates sitting opposite him asked with concern: "No one died when encountering the Black Pearl, right?"
"Why didn't anyone die? The captain and first mate went into the sea to feed the fish on the spot." Wei En said in a serious tone, as if the boss and second son were really dead, with a look of grief and anger on his face: "So, I can't wait to kill them all!"
"Don't be impulsive, those people in Black Pearl are too strong..."
"Yes, you have to wait until you are strong enough."
"Hmph, if it were me, I would definitely kill him back!"
"You're right. When you become stronger, you'll kill them!"
Seeing that the three pirates became hostile to the Black Pearl under the influence of their deception talent, Wei En said in a bewildering way: "You don't have to wait until later, there is a good opportunity now."
"oh?"
"Tell me!"
"I heard that someone is going to take action on the people in the city on this island. I came here to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with them!"
"Does anyone really dare to deal with the Black Pearl here? Those three people are not vegetarians, especially the most powerful 'killer' Honatan Kirkland. It is said that he has almost reached the level of Hand of the Kingdom."
"Of course," Wei En pretended to smile mysteriously: "If there is such an opportunity, would you be willing to participate?"
The three pirates looked at each other and nodded heavily: "For you and for those of us who were bullied by the big pirates, we must let them taste the pain this time!"
"Well, since you have such a heart, I will make the decision privately to take you with me."
"Tell me, what should we do?"
Plan comes true!
Wei En looked at the pirates whose cognition was affected by the talent of deception and nodded secretly.
To lay out a rune array covering the entire Alexei Island, which also involves various rune patterns and nodes, he needs to stay focused at all times.
If you are discovered or disturbed by others in the middle, some time will be wasted.
Therefore, after being provoked by these three blind pirates, Wayne thought of using his deception talent to induce a group of people to become helpers.
At least someone should help keep an eye on him when he is setting up the magic circle to prevent others from discovering him.
"I will contact you again after the specific tasks are notified over there."
"Then, where should we wait for you?"
Gathering point...
Wei En was thoughtful, and suddenly felt that his arrangement was really like those evil sects of the Despair Sect that bewitched ordinary people.
"Take these gold pounds. Do you see the Wadi Wellan tavern over there? You will stay there for the rest of the time."
"Remember, no one else should know about this!"
The three pirates looked at the one hundred gold pounds in their hands, their eyes bursting with fiery light, even more hostile to the Black Pearl than before, and they grinned silently.
"Don't worry, we will never say anything!"
"We must do something big this time!"
Wei En nodded with satisfaction and signaled: "Go ahead, when the matter is finished, I guarantee that your names will be famous in the Cordo Sea!"
"Um!"
Watching the three pirates walking hand-in-hand to the tavern in the middle of the port block, Wayne followed him mentally for a while, and he felt relieved when he found that the topic returned to the Alexei Arena.
He is also in the exploratory stage regarding the use of his deception talent.
In addition to knowing that after the talent is activated, his spiritual power will be transformed into a power with strange characteristics, he has not yet figured out how to make those people change their thoughts, perceptions and even beliefs.
This is a completely different principle from spiritual transformation and spell casting, and...
Wei En looked at the panel in his mind and felt a little confused. According to the panel's reward mechanism, if the fraud talent takes effect, it should give certain rewards.
Even if there is no reward, there should at least be a message indicating that the fraud was successful, right?
However, in fact, since the awakening of his deception talent, the panel has only prompted information about related talents.
After that, no matter how he used his deception talent, there was never any prompt on the panel.
This feeling is as if——
"Can't the panel find any traces of the use of the cheating talent?"
Wayne's eyes flickered, and this conclusion was horrifying.
At this moment, he recalled the illusion he had when he was promoted to wizard. After seeing his sister Estelle Loft, his talent for deception was awakened.
In fact, in addition to the strange phenomenon of deception talent, there is also the anomaly of the original world, the strange aberration that swallowed up his twelve original sub-bodies.
The panel never gave any hints about these two anomalies——
Does this mean...
No, it won't!
Wei En suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and he didn't dare to think along this line of thought!
He just felt that there was a pair of big hands covering him in a place he couldn't see!
"Marionette..."
At night, the sea breeze blew in the Alexei Port, and ships of all colors docked at the port.
The pirates who stayed on the port drank beer in big gulps, singing and dancing to cheer for something.
At this moment, the glory of the red moon meant nothing to them.
Or, the whole world was no longer in their eyes. The only thing they cared about was whether there was any wine, whether the girls on the shore were moist, and when their names would spread throughout the Cordo Sea.
What they didn't know was that a sturdy pirate with a gloomy face was standing at the port not far away, looking at the surging sea, blowing the sea breeze, and quietly listening to the noise around him.
"Huh..."
After a long time, when the candle of the dawn lantern was about to burn out, Wei En let out a long breath, and his expression returned to his usual calmness.
He calmly took out a new candle, lit it with the candle in the lantern that only had a little grease left to stick to the wick, and then covered it with the newly burned candle and stuck it to the base of the lantern.
The dim candle swayed slightly, dispelling the red moonlight spreading above his head, and it seemed to really bring him a hint of warmth.
After doing this, Wei En turned and left.
Alexei Island is very large. In addition to the Alexei city-state in the center, there are port facilities on all sides, and there are almost all kinds of taverns and shops between the ports and the city-states. The area where he can arrange the rune array nodes is at the intersection of the four ports.
Northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest. The northeast area is a mountain with a watchtower and detection array set up by the Black Pearl on the mountain, and the other three are covered by forests.
Wei En walked through them one by one. After noticing that there was something abnormal in the northeast area, he decided to complete the node arrangement of the other three forest areas first.
However, to connect these four core nodes in series, other nodes must be arranged in the city-state area in the middle.
But in this case, he would need to complete the arrangement of the entire magic circle under the eyes of the pirates in the city-state.
This means that the risk will be much higher when the rune magic circle is arranged later.
Wei En looked at the sketch just drawn on the parchment. In addition to the core nodes in the four corners, there are eight rune nodes involved in the city-state. He frowned and thought.
"There is no better way. It seems that the plan just now needs to be changed..."
Or, borrow the idea of some pirates to help arrange the magic circle and extend it.
Let the pirates on the entire island be used by him?
Wei En lowered his head and pondered for a moment. It was difficult, but not impossible.
As long as the powerful pirates on the island were dealt with, he could use his talent for fraud to turn everyone into his own people, and then things would naturally follow.
And with his relationship with Black Jack Youan, perhaps he could get the three big pirates to cooperate without taking action.
Thinking of this, Wei En looked at the brightly lit Alexei city-state in the distance and laughed silently.
Before, he thought of relying on his own strength to deal with Ales and others.
But now it seems that if some things are not used now, there may be no chance in the future!
…
…
Woo——
The low horn sounded melodiously, making the sea surface, which was already illuminated by the red moon, even more agitated.
In the far distance, two thick clouds seemed to be slow, but in fact they moved rapidly at a speed far beyond human imagination, turning the calm sea surface into turbulent waves.
Under the thunder and lightning, the wind blew, and the rice flower-sized raindrops mixed with sea water poured down from the sky, turning those ships that relied on sails to drift along the sea breeze into fragile toys in an instant.
"What's going on?!"
"Damn it, we encountered a storm sea area, quickly lower the sails and activate the rune array!"
"Boatswain, take your people to guard the deck quickly, and never let those mutants in the deep sea get on board!"
The captains noticed the abnormality, screamed with pale faces, and arranged them one by one according to past experience.
But——
"Boss, look!"
"There are large ships in the storm! Two of them!"
"Huh?"
"Yes, yes, it's the Bekli and the Alaniga!?"
"Damn it, I said today's storm was weird, I didn't expect it to be affected by them."
"Turn left, avoid their route, helmsman, speed up!"
Observing the two abnormal ships under the dark clouds, their faces changed.
Everyone knows that the Black Pearl and the Alaniga have been in constant friction in the Cordo Sea recently, and all ships are not allowed to approach in the fierce battle area.
Otherwise, they are likely to be destroyed by the aftermath of their battle.
I didn't expect it to be so unlucky!
Just when these ships were anxious to avoid, under the dark clouds, a huge sea dragon hovered behind them, fighting with a strange tentacle and roaring.
"Hey - Domitri is a crybaby!"
"At that time, he lost 100,000 pounds playing cards with the 'Epidemic Doctor'. He cried so hard that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy before he was able to leave with only his underwear."
"Speaking of which, Domitri, you should thank us!"
Under the even bigger clouds behind them, a huge steamship twice as big as the Bekli was chasing them straight like a deep-sea beast.
The hull covered with black metal remained motionless under the impact of the waves, and the flashing rune light from time to time illuminated the gun barrels protruding from the cabin, making the steamship look like a war fortress.
"I thank you whole family of bastards!"
Standing on the bow of the ship, Domitri Pruitt, the Ripper, shouted with a gloomy expression.
He was wearing a jacket similar to Black Jack's, with a cigar in his mouth. There was a hideous scar across his cheek on his dark face, and even his lips had jagged gaps after healing.
"Black Jack, and 'Epidemic Doctor' Euan Morris, you two bastards, today is the day you die!"
"hehe……"
On the Bekli, Euan waved his staff and shot spells one after another. He cooperated with the pirates on the deck to clean up the surrounding aberrations, and taunted: "Domitri, you will not forget that you left a piece of magic. Photo?"
"photo?"
Black Jack in mid-air opened his big mouth, bit off one of the tentacles of the deep sea monster, and roared: "Hahaha... I almost forgot, you bastard made him strip naked and then forced him to take a picture. Photo. I remember, the three of us took a photo together?”
"That's right!"
Euan showed a hint of sarcasm, holding an extra photo in his hand, and motioned to the people on the Araniga behind.
"How about I ask the Cordo Gazette to print it now?"
"Damn, damn! You two bastards!"
Domitri just glanced at it and was sure that it was indeed him who looked like him in the photo.
You bastard ‘Epidemic Doctor’ and Black Jack, why didn’t you two die and actually kept the photos for more than 20 years?
"Why are you still standing there? Go to the bottom of the ship and increase the steam valve to catch up with them!"
"And the carriage behind, go over and ask them if there is any way to stop the bastard in front, otherwise with the blessing of the 'Storm Horn', their Bekli can run faster than the fastest swordtooth fish in the deep sea!"
Noticing the serious faces of the pirates behind him, who wanted to laugh but dared not, the embarrassed Domitri shouted impatiently.
"Roar--"
After a period of fighting, the deep-sea behemoth whose strength reached level three disaster was finally defeated and was torn to pieces by Black Jack, who transformed into a sea dragon.
"Huh? Domitri, you spoke too loudly, I heard you!"
Black Jack released his extraordinary bloodline, jumped back to the Bekli, wiped the smelly blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the Araniga behind him openly.
"But if you want to kill us, you're not qualified enough! Let that bastard Suad come, and that's enough!"
"snort!"
Domitri snorted coldly, looking at the Bekli ship and the dark clouds hanging above them with a gloomy expression.
"Black Jack, don't be too proud. When that boy Walid uses the 'Storm Horn' like this, isn't he worried about the forbidden items getting out of control?"
"At that time, you and the 'epidemic doctor' will be fine, but what about the others?"
"Isn't this your plan? Do you want to bury the entire Bekli in the Cordo Sea?"
"Jiejie..."
Domitri glanced maliciously at the pirates fighting the deep-sea deformed mutants on the deck of the Bekli, and said with a sinister smile: "Black Jack, I advise you to surrender now. Maybe I can let them go and only keep you two." People were stripped naked and hung on the mast..."
"Have you been eroded by the murderous dream in the deep sea?" Black Jack's face darkened, "If you were so confident, why did you run away when you saw the 'Epidemic Doctor' before?"
Euan: "He is afraid, afraid that we will kill him."
"You!? Let's see how long you can last! Speed up and catch up!"
"Slow down," Yoan's tone was still a bit teasing, "Domitri, if you go too fast, you will also enter the "Storm Horn"'s out-of-control range."
"snort!"
Domitri snorted coldly and said nothing more. His face was as gloomy as ink, and he stood on the bow of the ship and stared at the two bastards in front of him.
Black Jack shouted for a while, and when he saw that the people behind them were only chasing but not speaking, he guessed their plan. Then he flashed to Yuan's side, and the two of them killed the surrounding aberrants together.
"Euan, what should we do now? These people are chasing after us and it will be very detrimental to us if they continue to consume us."
"Um."
Euan nodded silently, but did not give any advice immediately. His eyes fell on the black carriage behind the Araniga - in the center area shrouded by the giant storm.
With Domitri's shrewdness, he knew Black Jack's character very well and knew that as long as he angered him, he could lay a trap easily.
The big pirate who killed the Black Pearl last time was just a bait to catch Black Jack.
But they should be more aware of the strength of the Bekli. If Black Jack wanted to escape, their configuration would not be able to keep him.
Therefore, these people must have prepared other means.
But since encountering the Araniga, Euan has covered the surrounding sea with his spiritual perception. Within a few hundred kilometers, there are no other abnormalities except the storm behind him.
This made him feel puzzled and even more vaguely uneasy.
"Find a way to contact Menor!"
"Contact him? Are you sure?" Black Jack looked at him in surprise, "He is a member of the Eternal Life Society, not a pirate!"
The current situation is quite dangerous, but it’s not time to call for help yet, right?
Besides, he always felt that Menor was mysterious, and he didn't want to have close contact with him unless necessary.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Youan looked at the storm covering the sky and the moon behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to worry about whether he is the Eternal Life Society or the Black Pearl, but to find a way to take the hundreds of people on the ship out of danger."
"You and I have dealt with Domitri before. With his strength and his current position, he must have made preparations to choose to take action here."
"In addition, the storm is between us and Awad Island. Unless the 'Emperor of the Sea' Isabello Clijsters comes to rescue in person, it is impossible for others to pass through there."
"The last and most important point is that Domitri is right... We don't have much time now..."
As he said, Youan motioned him to look at the cabin behind him.
Black Jack looked in the direction he pointed and couldn't help but clenched his fist.
Walid... I can't hold on any longer!
Taboo 2-14 The Storm Horn is very powerful, especially at sea. It can not only change the storm weather and speed up the ship's sailing, but also summon deep-sea fish to protect it.
The corresponding price is the price you need to pay for using it - just like Walid is now.
Every time he blows the horn, his physical strength will be doubled.
However, the change of the body is only a superficial appearance. The more important thing is that his original power will be continuously absorbed by the Storm Horn.
"I understand."
After making the decision, Black Jack no longer hesitated, "I will contact Menor, and I will leave it to you for the time being."
Youan nodded: "Okay."
As soon as the voice fell, he saw Black Jack had already flashed away.
Domitri on the Araniga behind saw this scene, his expression did not change.
Although his face was ugly, he sneered in his heart when he saw both sides sailing northwest all the way.
Black Jack, Plague Doctor...
This time, I must throw you into the sea to feed the fish!
"Menor, hurry up and come here!"
"Damn bastard, if you don't show up now, don't come over later. I will never let you see the boss!"
"Are you there?"
Black Jack cursed at the communicator, but except for some people on the Black Pearl who asked some questions, Menor didn't make any sound.
"First mate, what happened?"
"Are you in danger over there?"
"I'm unlucky. I've been targeted by the Araniga. Those heading northwest in the East 113-231 sea area should get out of the way!"
Black Jack saw that Menor didn't respond, so he thought he should remind the others on the Black Pearl.
"What? Those bastards from the Alaniga are going to intercept you?"
"Damn it, I'll notify the others right away!"
"Don't come, the situation is a bit special. There are not only people from the Alaniga, but also other dangers. You'll die if you come."
Black Jack said in a deep voice: "Someone help me pass the situation here to the Hammer Girl. Remember to use the encrypted channel, don't be intercepted by those bastards."
The situation here is critical. Pirates below the legend will only kill more people, so it's better not to come.
"Damn it, Menor, you bastard, did you receive it?!"
"Jack?"
Just when Black Jack wanted to give up, Menor asked in confusion in the communicator: "Did you encounter a gravedigger there?"
"Menor?" Black Jack was overjoyed, "Not only the gravedigger, but also that bastard Domitri. Come quickly, East 113 Sea Area!"
"Apart from these, have you found anything else?" Menor asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Hmm? What did you find?"
"Did the 'Epidemic Doctor' tell you to tell me?"
"Menor, you don't want to come?"
"I see, I'll be there right away."
Seeing his ears closed and no sound from the other side, Black Jack's face darkened.
Damn, what does that bastard Menor mean? I doubt my words. The 'Epidemic Doctor' asked you to come, so you came here, right?
Fuck!
Do you look down on me? !
