A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

Joestar Manor is huge.

How big exactly.

Cattleya couldn't tell clearly.

Anyway.

This place is much bigger than it looks.

"I seem to have seen this kind of space magic in a certain secret book. An extension of the 'Gate' pathway ability?" Cattleya pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and confirmed the occult knowledge in her mind as she walked.

Xio brought the group to the door of the villa and handed them over to a young maid with braids and golden eyes.

The maid glanced at the group of pirates headed by Cattleya and said in a calm tone: "I'm really sorry, the master only invited Ms. Cattleya. Other guests please wait here."

"What?"

"That's unreasonable!"

"Hey, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"

Pirates.

How much quality can we expect from them?

To be honest, Cattleya's people are already considered rare 'good people' among pirates.

But some things are engraved in our bones and cannot be changed.

Among these people, Nina, the boatswain, screamed the loudest.

This may be related to the fact that she is an Extraordinary of the 'Tyrant' path.

I can only say that the grumpy old lady is like this.

Makima calmly glanced at the pirates and repeated: "Please wait here."

Then, very naturally, he said, "This is an order."

The ability to control demons will most likely be ineffective against Amon.

but.

A bunch of pirates who aren't even demigods?

Makima smiled softly.

Smile brightly.

But this smile became extremely terrifying in the eyes of those pirates.

They only felt as if their bodies were wrapped with many invisible ropes. Let alone moving, even breathing became extremely difficult!

A trace of panic flashed in Cattleya's eyes under her glasses.

She knew that the maid in front of her used an ability similar to telepathy.

But the strange thing is that she didn't feel any spiritual fluctuations even though the distance between the two sides was less than five meters.

Is the gap in strength too big, or...

Cattleya didn't have time to think too much and quickly apologized: "Please forgive my rude subordinates, they did not mean to offend."

"Ms. Cattleya, their lives are not in danger." Machima stared at Cattleya, "I told you, I'm just waiting here for a while."

Cattleya opened her mouth, looking like she still wanted to plead.

At this moment, a voice came from behind her.

"Okay, don't be so rigid."

After finishing her words, Nina and the other pirates suddenly found that the restrictions on them suddenly disappeared.

Seeing the person coming, Makima lowered her head with respect and said, "Master, welcome home."

Cattleya turned around instinctively, only to see a black-haired young man slowly approaching with his hands in his pockets.

The other party was wearing a well-dressed suit and vest, without a hat or bow tie. He looked free and uninhibited.

"Captain Cattleya, right? My maid treated the guests so slowly, I'm really sorry." Jon's attitude was very easy-going.

He looked at the pirates and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, sorry."

Having seen the terror of braided maids, Nina and other pirates would not dare to challenge Jon as their 'master'.

Jon didn't care and said to Makima: "Let's have a dinner party in the back garden. You go prepare it."

"Yes, Master." Makima nodded in agreement.

After saying that, he walked away calmly.

Um……

Perhaps 'defiant' is more accurate.

Jon, who was left behind, stretched out his hand to invite: "Come in and talk."

Go in?

What a joke!

The pirates gave in decisively.

They even didn't want Cattleya to step into the den in front of them.

Cattleya actually has concerns in her heart.

but.

Does she really have a choice?

He lowered his head and said politely: "Excuse me."

Enter the villa.

The space is not like the space expansion magic applied outside.

But scan carefully.

But there is another mystery.

For example, in the painting hanging on the wall - in the center of the dining table, a priest with light blond beard spreads his arms without sadness, as if he is telling something. Many believers gathered around him, some were angry, some were indifferent, some were frightened, and everyone's expressions were lifelike.

With just one glance, Cattleya realized the sad and desolate mood.

She understands.

The theme of this painting is called 'Betrayal'.

"Do you like it?" Jon turned around and said suddenly.

Cattleya was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no."

"Well, that means my painting is not good enough."

Cattleya was stunned for a moment.

He quickly explained: "It's not that I don't like it, but..."

no way.

Even if she has the title of Star Admiral, it's hard not to be nervous when dealing with a big shot that even the Queen highly respects.

Jon did not continue on this topic and instead said: "I just went to your boat to meet Frank Lee."

Hearing this, Cattleya's mind went blank for a moment.

She opened her mouth.

Finally, a voice slowly emerged, "Huh?"

"He is a genius, and I am very optimistic about him." Jon opened the door to the study room, "This talent should not be buried."

Cattleya: Σ(°△°|||)

Don't want that kind of thing.

The world...the world is in danger!

"But what we are going to talk about today is not about your first mate." Sitting down on the familiar armchair, Jon looked at Cattleya, "Tell us about the Moss Ascetic Order. Bernadette said you are One of them.”

Cattleya thought for a moment and said truthfully: "Dear Mr. Jon, I am just an inconspicuous person in the Moss Ascetic Order. I'm sorry that I can't tell you too much valuable information."

Jon waved his hand, "There is no need to add the prefix of 'respect'. In addition, you have already touched the threshold of a demigod. Even if you fail to become the ten pillars of the Ascetic Order, you cannot be an 'inconspicuous existence'. Be humble." I don’t need to talk about it here, what I need is the most realistic situation.”

Cattleya couldn't help but be speechless.

Although there is a suspicion of self-effacing.

But to be honest, she didn't know much about the Moss Trappist Order.

The Moss Tragedy is an ancient organization born in the Fourth Age. It was first formed by a few humans who watched the desecrated stone tablets and believed in an impersonal god, the Hidden Sage.

Stiano (the God of Machinery and Steam) is one of the earliest founders of the Moss Trappist Order and has mastery of the complete 'hermit' path. In the early days, it was a very respected organization with good relationships with major churches. But gradually, because the "Hidden Sage" became a personal evil god, bringing evil and pollution, the Moss Ascetic Society degenerated into a secret evil organization.

When Cattleya was exiled from the Mystic and wandered at sea, she came into contact with the Moss Trappist Order by chance.

With a certain amount of rebellious psychology, she joined the Moss Ascetic Order, which was hostile to the Elemental Dawn (the organization founded by Bernadette), and accepted the blessing of the 'Hidden Sage'.

The 'Hidden Sage' is knowledge itself, instinctively pursuing every member of the Moss Trappist Order.

soon.

Through the baptism of knowledge, Cattleya acquired a lot of magic and secret techniques that she had never been exposed to before, and her realm improved rapidly.

But every gift of destiny has a price secretly marked on it.

The speed at which Cattleya absorbed knowledge made the 'Hidden Sage' extremely happy.

As a result, it became a situation of ‘she learns, he teaches, and she cannot escape’.

When a lot of knowledge comes in but cannot be digested and mastered quickly, one must either let go of one's spiritual defenses and accept the transformation of the 'Hidden Sage', or rely on perseverance to support it.

If you can't hold on, you will lose control.

Just like Cattleya before.

If Bernadette hadn't appeared in time, she would have turned into a black goo ball covered with eyeballs by now.

After listening to what Cattleya said, Jon was thoughtful.

He looked at Cattleya and said softly: "When I proposed to capture the 'Hidden Sage', Bernadette recommended you."

After hearing this, Cattleya was confused and instinctively explained: "The Queen just..."

"I feel sorry for my daughter." Jon interrupted Cattleya, "Otherwise, just find an Beyonder with the 'Hermit' path. In other words, she thinks this benefit can only be given to you."

Cattleya:......

move?

It doesn't seem like it.

She didn't understand how she felt now.

It just feels very complicated and tangled.

It was like a left-behind child in the mountains who suddenly saw his biological mother carrying large and small packages home for a visit.

From the inside out, he revealed that he wanted to get close, but he was extremely awkward and didn't want to come forward.

"You must be thinking, 'What have you been doing?'" Jon said with a smile.

Cattleya felt a little uncomfortable when her thoughts were exposed, but she denied, "No, the queen has her own considerations."

Jon's eyes were playful: "You still refuse to call me mommy. Yaya, I have to say, you have type 7 love."

Duck...duck?

Cattleya couldn't believe her ears.

Live so long.

Even the Queen had never called her so affectionately.

No, no.

This can no longer be regarded as a nickname, but some kind of ridicule!

Jon said with a smile: "Steamed buns, are you making talismans?"

It seemed that she really liked seeing the look on Cattleya's face that she wanted to be angry but didn't dare to show it.

To put it simply, it was a bad taste.

Want to be a bitch.

"No, no." What else could Cattleya say.

She is not a child and can act on her own initiative.

After all, one's wealth and life only depend on the other person's thoughts.

Even for the sake of those crew members, she had to endure it.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I already understand the basic situation. In order to verify the conjecture in your heart, you should quickly call the 'Hidden Sage'." Jon changed the subject, "As you, you are taking risks... Well, it’s actually not that dangerous. Anyway, for Bernadette’s sake, when you finish this thing, I’ll give you a drop of the blood of a mythical creature.”

He counted his fingers and said, "We have the 'Perfection', the 'Wheel of Fortune', the 'Death', the 'Red Priest', the 'Imaginary', the 'Hanged Man'..."

Name a dozen choices in a row.

For those who didn’t know, I thought they were eggplants and cucumbers from the market.

Cattleya felt an indescribable heat in her heart.

Remember the Queen's words.

She composed herself and said, "What should I do?"

"Just do what you usually do now, don't worry about me." Jon picked up a book and said, "You can read the collection of books here as you like."

Hearing this, Cattleya's heart moved.

As a book lover, or a bespectacled female academic who pursues knowledge, she has long been extremely curious about the books in this study.

After all, he is a big shot that even the Queen of Mysteries highly respects, so his collection must be extraordinary.

After saying 'I'm sorry', Cattleya got up from the sofa and walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a book at random.

I looked at the cover and saw "citrus aroma" written on it, five gold-labeled Chinese characters.

"It's the occult text in "Roselle's Notes" (not everyone knows it's a diary)." Cattleya became even more interested and began to try to decipher this profound book.

However.

Yaya, who was immersed in research, didn't know.

Just when she started to accept new knowledge.

Many torrents of information were like agile snakes, poking out from the 'knowledge wilderness' that was different from the real dimension, and wrapped around Cattleya with great joy.

Gradually, Cattleya began to understand the contents of this book.

That is to say, Yaya doesn't understand Jon's nature.

The sinister intentions of Mr. Qiao are evident.

However, the culprit who led Cattleya astray had already put down the camera and stared intently at the torrent of knowledge that seemed to have life.

Members of the Ascetic Order of Moss believe that everything is numbered and pursue knowledge itself.

And 'knowledge itself' is also pursuing the members of the Moss Ascetic Order.

Such a two-way love is really enviable...what a ghost!

But he saw Cattleya suddenly gibbering in disorder.

Obviously, the 'Hidden Sage' began to stuff a lot of messy knowledge into her head again.

"Well done!" Jon stretched out his hand and caught the disembodied torrent of information out of thin air.

The 'Hidden Sage' was so frightened that he quickly retreated as if he had been stung by a bee.

However, just before He retreated into the 'wilderness of knowledge', Jon completed the work of implanting the virus.

Cattleya suddenly woke up.

Look up.

Many intellectual turbulences swirl wildly.

Countless eyes stared fixedly at this place.

Less than a second.

She almost lost control.

At this time, Jon comforted him gently: "Okay, it's over."

Following his words, calm returned to the study room.

But the next second.

A man pushed the door open and came in with a solemn look on his face.

But when he saw Jon, he suddenly relaxed and said with a smile: "So you are here. I just said that I feel like a high-level existence has arrived."

"It was the 'Hidden Sage' just now." Jon told Azik truthfully.

He pointed at Cattleya, "Through this lady, I sent a coordinate to the legendary 'Wildness of Knowledge'. Now, we can organize our manpower to conquer that 'land' before the God of Machinery and Steam." ." (End of chapter)
