Chapter 251 Captain, Help!
"Brother Ronan, can you tell us more about your wizard captain?"
"Yes, Ronan, when you left here last time, you said you were going to the northern waters to find the island of Bennings that was not polluted by the red moon. How come you became the second mate on someone else's ship not long after you set off?"
"Just the second mate, not even the first mate... Hey? Who is the first mate on your ship?"
Ronan glanced at the others around him and said with a curled lip: "Don't ask, I won't tell you about the boss and the first mate!"
Of course he couldn't tell them that he was hijacked by Wayne at the time.
Otherwise, he would be laughed to death.
And he couldn't say anything about the beautiful first mate.
If these people leaked the matter, he would be hung on the mast and whipped based on his observation of the captain during this period.
"Drink!"
"Cheers!" Seeing this, the other two pirates also raised their beer glasses.
After putting down the wine glass, Ronan, who was sitting in the tavern box, hugged a gorgeous girl, and his mechanical arms played with the two hanging clocks and fiddled with the pointers on the huge dial.
Although he didn't have much sense of touch and didn't have any tricks, his face showed a smile that was familiar to all pirates.
"It seems that the captain is very capable, making you follow him so wholeheartedly?" A pirate with an eye patch on his left asked.
"Of course, our captain is very powerful."
"Stronger than the 'Golden Giant' Dis?" Another pirate asked with a smile.
Ronan paused, his face darkened, his triangular eyes staring at him gloomily, "Finley, if you want to know, you can go to my boss and try!"
"Try?" The pirate named Finley was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I dare not, after all, that person dared to rob the ship of the Church of Dawn..."
"Then shut up!"
"Okay, Finley." The one-eyed pirate smiled and waved his hand, indicating: "It is a happy thing to see an old friend appear safely on Alexei Island today, mainly for fun, hahaha."
"And as for who is stronger between that wizard and Dis, the recent Cordo Bulletin has been published, 'Deformed Wizard' Wayne Loft has not reached the legendary level."
If it has not reached the legendary level, it is far from being comparable to the "Golden Giant" Dis.
"I said, Captain Dis's strength in this sea area is second only to the 'Emperor' of the Black Pearl and Captain Suade of the Araniga, how could it be possible..."
Bang!
Boom!
Ronan, with a cold face, smashed the table in front of him with a punch, and the wine was scattered all over the floor.
The one-eyed pirate and Finley stared at him blankly, "You..."
"You two better pray that we won't hit you on the sea in the future, otherwise... Humph!"
After the voice fell, Ronan shook off the surprised girl beside him and stood up to leave.
"You, him? How dare he?"
Finley looked at the messy floor and said angrily: "Even when I was in the 'Golden Giant' Dis Pirates, I didn't defend their captain like I do now."
"Forget it, Finley." The one-eyed pirate looked at the door thoughtfully, "He has found a clear future."
"Future? Deformed wizard?"
The one-eyed pirate didn't explain much, patted his shoulder, and sighed: "Remember what he just said, if you see the Leonard when you go out to sea in the future, remember to stay away."
"I..."
Finley's face was blue and red, and he raised his head and snorted: "On the sea, it's not certain who will live and who will die!"
On the other side, Ronan, who was angry, left the tavern, still cursing.
If this Alexi Island was not the station of the Black Pearl, he would have wanted to take action directly.
How do these two bastards know the greatness of the captain?
Captain Dis, the "Golden Giant", is indeed very strong, but in the face of a disaster like the Dakman Island, he would never choose to rescue other pirates first.
Similarly, when the Dawn Church ship chased him, he would only choose to flee "embarrassedly".
Only Captain Wayne, when in danger, would first take the pirates to a safe place, and then face the danger alone...
"Asshole, after the ship is repaired, I must suggest that the captain block them on the island! Don't let..."
"Second Mate Ronan?"
At this time, in the alley of the tavern street, in the shadow that the red moonlight could not reach, a black shadow looked at Ronan who was walking by and asked.
"Huh?"
Ronan glanced at him and immediately became alert.
There are dangers on the sea, unpredictable weather, terrifying deep-sea mutants, and dreams at night, all of which cannot be avoided by human power.
But in the city-state, he knew that the biggest danger was not the pollution of the red moonlight, but the people with ulterior motives who appeared at night.
Some were followers of evil gods who bewitched people, some were supernatural beings who were polluted and about to lose control, and some were evil supernatural beings who specialized in doing bad things...
Just like now, a person hiding in a dark corner, just short of having the word "bad guy" engraved on his body.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
While speaking, Ronan glanced at the guards belonging to the Alexei city-state not far away.
He had made up his mind-when he encountered danger, he would shout for help.
Do you really think that pirates are all reckless fools?
"It seems to be you."
The black shadow slowly stepped out, covered in a black robe, revealing only a pair of bright and deep eyes.
Eyes?
Ronan's heart trembled, and just when he wanted to open his mouth to call for help, he found that his body could no longer move.
Damn, it's an extraordinary characteristic with the ability to attack mentally!
"Come with me."
The shadow's eyes flashed a smile, and he turned and walked deep into the alley.
Behind him, Triangle Eyes followed closely, walking naturally, with a calm face, and everything looked normal.
This is bad... Captain, help me!
...
...
Alexei City, Paskabiru Hotel.
There was no flame in the fireplace on the side, but a small tree with a bright red body. The slightly flickering red light made the living room warm like a flame.
There was a wall lamp on each of the four walls. The dawn candles flickered with dim flames when they burned, dispelling the slight red glow from the windows and doors.
The two thousand-leaf clover at the entrance and the stairs were green and exuded a faint grass fragrance, making the whole room look much fresher.
Erikon Paskabiru sat on the sofa on the first floor, holding a thick book and reading it with relish.
Ta-da...
"Hmm?"
Hearing the footsteps coming from the stairs behind him, Ericon Baskabiru raised his head slightly.
It's so late, are there still guests who haven't rested?
He waved to the family guard standing at the counter opposite, indicating that he should wait at the stairs.
After a while, the two of them stood at the side of the stairs in neat clothes, and saw Wei En in wizard robes appear at the end of the long wooden stairs.
Ericon smiled and said respectfully: "Wizard Wei En, it's so late, are you going out?"
The person who walked down the stairs slowly was Wei En who returned to the hotel after exploring the entire Alexei Island.
He didn't rest. After returning to the room and changing his clothes, he went downstairs calmly, wanting to go to the center of the city-state to investigate.
"I heard there will be a wonderful fight in the arena in the central area tonight, I want to go and see it."
"Fight?" Ericon looked at the wall clock and pondered: "The first fight should have ended by now, you..."
"It doesn't matter," Wayne smiled indifferently, "I just want to take a look there, I'm curious about the pirates and noble merchants on this island."
Pirates, nobles?
Ericon looked calm, but his heart was trembling.
This wizard Wayne seemed peaceful, but he was not a good-tempered person.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of Vasquez and thousands of clergy in the Caster City-State, since he went to sea, he first slaughtered the entire Storm Hunter, then sank Dakman Island, and then killed the Dawn Judgment Huberto Watson who was chasing him...
Just from the reports in the newspapers, his hands are stained with the blood of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
For such a person, would he go to watch a fight just to simply see the lives of pirates and noble merchants on Alexei Island?
Ericon didn't believe it!
"That's a good place, Wizard Wayne."
"Isn't it?" Wayne looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Ericon, why didn't you go there tonight?"
"I want to, but here..."
Ericon pointed to the counter politely, "The family's business cannot be lost, I must serve every guest here well."
"Then you are really an excellent heir."
Wayne didn't know how true his words were, but he didn't care much.
"By the way, Mr. Ericon, is there any progress on the batch of Thousand Leaf Grass I ordered?"
"I was just about to tell you that I have contacted the family, and they will use the messenger of the Nightmare Cult to send the batch of Thousand Leaf Grass to the Caster City-State as soon as possible."
Wayne nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Ericon."
Although the messenger of the Nightmare Cult is not a teleportation array and cannot send living things to another place, it is an excellent choice for sending things.
"This is what I should do. You're welcome." Ericon smiled shyly and asked, "I forgot to ask you, did you receive an invitation letter from the Colosseum?"
"Invitation letter?"
"You didn't?"
"No."
Wayne only thought about going there to find the Black Pearl, but ignored how to enter the Colosseum.
But he didn't worry too much. Even if there was no invitation letter, he had plenty of ways to enter there.
But it was not convenient for Ericon to know these.
"I have it here."
Ericon smiled and took out a black envelope from his inner pocket. There was an exquisite ornament on the stamp of the letter - the logo of the Black Pearl, the deep-sea monster Rasim.
"It just happens that I don't need it, you can take it."
"How can I be so embarrassed?"
Wayne took the invitation and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."
"No, you are too polite."
At this point, Ericon paused and the smile on his face faded, "But there is one thing I have to remind you."
"Oh?"
"You should have heard that 'One-Eyed' Edorad Walls likes to find people to go to the arena."
"Well, I heard Ronan say that." Wayne's expression moved, and his brows frowned slightly: "You mean, he might come to me?"
"Not only him," Ericon's eyes reflected his appearance, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "It is very likely that even the 'Beautiful Hands' Ms. Flanda Canero will come to you."
Wayne was stunned: "'Beautiful Hands' Flanda Canero?"
He looks much better than when he first came, but he is still a long way from being handsome.
That female pirate who has the right to choose a spouse...I don't think so...
"I see. Thank you Mr. Erikon for reminding me."
Seeing that he still decided to go, Erikon had to salute respectfully and said, "I wish Wizard Wayne a good time in the arena."
Based on his understanding of "One-Eye" and "Beautiful Hands", a newcomer like Wizard Wayne who caused a sensation in the Cordo Sea will definitely attract their attention.
What's more, this Captain Henrik who had killed the Black Pearl before.
But whether to go or not is the guest's own choice. He has fulfilled his duties as an innkeeper.
The rest is to wait for the show the next day!
After bidding farewell to the innkeeper, Wayne picked up the dawn lantern and walked casually towards the Black Pearl station in the center of the city-state.
Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening, most of the shops in the store area were still open for business.
Except for the Paskabiru Hotel near the trading area, which had few people coming and going, the rest, such as the mechanical weapons and equipment store and the potion store, were visited by many people.
"Two bottles of healing potion, no, just one bottle, and get me a bottle of antidote..."
"Boss Zamo, can you give me a discount? Five gold pounds is too expensive, four gold pounds and five shillings is a good price, how about it?"
"You have money to go to the tavern to drink and sleep with girls, but you don't have money to buy life-saving potions?"
"Hehe..."
The sea is treacherous, and most of the gold pounds robbed by pirates are used for enjoyment.
If they are asked to spend money in the tavern, nine out of ten will raise their five limbs to agree, but if they are asked to spend the money on other things, it would be more painful than killing them.
In contrast, those extraordinary people who are born into noble families and have extraordinary blood are more cherishing their lives.
Wayne's spiritual perception is always open, scanning each store one by one, and the focus is still on the Jimenez Ship Repair Factory.
He is very concerned about the sailing ship model that attracted Tina's attention, and he wants to know where the model came from.
"...Boss, Wizard Wayne is coming this way."
"Shut up! Hurry up and inform Dan Sri to open the rune array!"
"So..."
"Don't you know that wizards have very strong spiritual power? Maybe..."
After hearing this, Wayne already knew that there was something wrong with this repair shop.
The model of the sailboat in the repair shop, the followers of the Desire Cult who arrived in advance...
What about the others?
Wayne really wanted to know how much preparations Director Ales had made on this island in order to obtain the source of disaster in Tina.
"Wizard Wayne?"
"Hmm?"
Seeing Fred Jimenez appear and greet him, Wayne was a little surprised, but his face remained calm and he chuckled, "Good evening, Mr. Fred."
"Good night, Wizard Wayne."
Fred came up enthusiastically and saluted, "It's you. I saw it from upstairs just now and thought it was someone else. Are you here to ask about the progress of the Leonard's repairs?"
"No," Wayne pointed to the pirate group's base in front and said, "I just got an invitation to the arena and want to go over and take a look."
Fred felt relieved, "Warrior? Is it the one organized by 'One-Eyed' Adorad Walls? It's a bit late for you to go now."
He just stood at the window and looked out. When he saw Wayne, who looked calm and seemed to be strolling around, he was already praying.
Pray that the young wizard is not looking for him, and pray that there is no problem with the sailboat model!
Now it seems that the alarm can be lifted!
"It's okay, I'm just going to join in the fun."
"It's really lively there, but unfortunately I have something to do now, otherwise I would go with you to watch the gladiatorial performance."
"Really? Then we'll go together next time if we have a chance."
"No problem..." Fried's smile froze, and he laughed dryly a few times and said, "It's getting late, I won't bother you to go to the arena, see you next time."
"Goodbye."
As he said that, Wayne nodded to him and walked straight through the repair shop.
This time, he did not attack Fried, so as not to alert the enemy.
According to the known situation, it is obvious that Ales already knows that he is on Alexei Island and has made various arrangements for him.
In other words, he is in the open, and the enemy is in the dark, but they don't know that he will be prepared.
Therefore, he does not intend to take action now to destroy the opponent's arrangements.
Instead, he plans to investigate secretly and make corresponding arrangements one by one later.
Wait until Ales shows up - it will be a surprise!

Oh?
Killing intent collection?
The Dusk Sect also has arrangements on Alexei Island?
When Wei En noticed this prompt, he had just passed through a pirate group station.
He glanced around and his eyes fell on the pirate group station behind him, "Golden Dis..."
It turned out to be them!
The last time the female captain of the Golden Dis came over, she was followed by several secret monks of the Dusk Sect.
It seems that the connection between the pirate group and the Dusk Sect is closer than imagined, and even such a temporary station has arrangements for collecting killing intent.
Wei En thought for a few seconds, then turned around and continued walking towards the center of the city.
To solve the Twilight Sect, it cannot be solved by dealing with the station of a pirate group...
Not long after, he came to the small building where Mitra was, but the maid was not there?
Wei En thought for a few seconds, then his consciousness sank into his mind, and he looked into the purple original light group.
You have to laugh, you have to laugh more happily.
This bastard Honatan actually took me to the box...
Didn't you know there are "one-eyed" and "beautiful hands" here?
This was definitely not Honattan’s idea!
So, are the other two bastards aware of me? Or did they discover something unusual about Honatan?
"Um?"
Faintly hearing Mitra's inner voice, Wei En frowned slightly.
Didn't she already refuse Honatan's invitation to go to the arena?
Why are you there now?
Thinking of this, Wei En quickened his pace and quickly left the garrison area, then walked through an empty square and arrived at the center of the city-state.
Looking up, I saw the majestic arena standing in the night, with deep marks on the outer wall made of rough rocks.
A huge torch was inserted into the city wall, and the flames jumped, casting bright light to illuminate the surroundings, making the outline of the arena more distinct in the night.
"Stop there and show me the invitation!"
At the entrance, several pirates chatting excitedly saw someone coming, and their smiles instantly faded.
Wei En took out the invitation and handed it over, looking at them calmly.
Compared with the people guarding outside the high wall, the pirates in front of them were much stronger in terms of their clothes and the original power in their bodies.
The leader of the pirates also observed Wei En. After thinking for a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he recognized his identity.
"You are not from the Baskabiru family, how come you have their invitation letter?"
"I just happened to live there. He gave it to me as a gift."
Wei En asked in reply: "Isn't it possible that someone who is not a member of the Baskabiru family cannot enter the arena with this invitation letter?"
"Others can," the pirate said with a fierce look, "but you, the man who killed Captain Henrik of the Storm Hunter, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to watch the fight." Wei En spread his hands.
Several pirates looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Then, the leader of the pirates stretched out his hand and said, "You can go in, but you have to pay an entrance fee of five thousand gold pounds."
Wei En was stunned, "Five thousand? Gold pounds? Is this specifically targeting me, or does everyone have to pay an admission fee?"
There are so many spectators in the arena, and if everyone pays five thousand gold pounds, "One Eye" will make a fortune in one night alone.
“Pay the money if you want to go in!”
"Do not talk nonsense!"
Wei En looked at them with a half-smile, his deception talent already activated in his heart.
"Of course you have to go in, and you have to pay for it."
As he spoke, he enveloped several people with that strange spiritual power while taking out five... one-penny coins.
"for you."
The leader of the pirates took the five coins, looked at them, and muttered in confusion: "When did five thousand gold pounds become lighter?"
"Just now, it was ordered by the Pope of Dawn Church in order to save production costs."
The pirate glared at him, as if blaming him for talking too much, and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, hurry in."
"Thank you."
With a smile, Wei En walked around several people and entered the huge entrance of the arena.
After working on it for a long time, it didn’t matter whether there was an invitation letter or not. In the end, we still had to rely on the talent of fraud to solve the problem.
Passing through a huge and wide arch, there is a dark and deep corridor in front of you.
There are two rows of armored statues standing on both sides of the corridor. They hold spears and look like real warriors guarding the place.
Vaguely, Wei En could hear bursts of laughter and curses coming from the end of the corridor.
"Damn it, what pirate hunter you are, you broke into pieces at the touch of that monster, please pay me gold pounds!"
"Damn it, I still beat that unlucky guy in the second game, don't die!"
Several pirates who were standing at the end of the corridor, cursing and smoking, couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Wei En who had just arrived.
"Come now?"
Wayne glanced at him and explained calmly, "Some things have been delayed."
As he spoke, he walked around a few people.
"You know him?"
"I don't know... looks familiar..."
Wayne ignored the conversation of the pirates behind him and walked straight out of the corridor into the arena.
The first thing that caught the eye was a huge chandelier hanging high in the center of the arena, its dazzling light illuminating the entire arena as if it were daytime.
Then came the packed audience and the huge arena under the chandelier!
"Captain, are you also here to watch the gladiatorial fight?"
