A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

At the end of the Suniya Sea, the ‘Sea of ​​Ruins’.

There is no sun, moon, day or night here.

Everything as far as the eye could see was darkness.

Under the oil lamp, Alger stretched out his hand forward, as if he wanted to grab something.

At this time, a sailor ran over and said angrily: "Mr. Governor, that guy Phil is sick again!"

Alger frowned slightly, "Didn't he take his medicine on time?"

"He took it." A look of fear appeared on the sailor's face, "But those medicines have no effect on him at all. Governor, please go and have a look."

Alger nodded.

Swinging his big cloak, he followed the sailor into the cabin with his head held high.

See it's him coming.

The sailors retreated to both sides.

Alger calmly came to the hammock quietly.

On the bed, a young man with red hair and a few scars on his nose was closing his eyes tightly and mumbling random words.

"Alas~"

Alger sighed.

The voyage is not always smooth sailing.

Even if he has the protection of 'Mr. Fool', unexpected situations still happen from time to time.

Phil.

Alger knew this kid.

The other party's father was once the boatswain of the Blue Avenger.

Although the ghost ship was once full of spies from the Church of Storms, Alger had quietly made a few true confidants, and Phil's father was one of them.

It's a pity that the iron-tower-like man couldn't survive the madness brought about by promotion. Because he lost control, Alger had to execute him personally.

As a compensation.

Alger took Phil on board.

Phil was quite obedient, inheriting his father's down-to-earth and taciturn qualities.

certainly.

Alger did not hide the truth and gave the child two choices: Sailor's Potion and 500 gold coins.

In the end, Phil drank the magic potion and said bluntly that he would follow the path of his father and become a brave sailor on the sea.

Alger was very pleased.

However……

In a mysterious place passing through the Sunia Sea, a huge sea snake with a human face attacked the fleet.

Phil fought bravely and was unfortunately wounded.

After that, I kept having a fever and talking nonsense.

I took various medicines but nothing worked.

And the closer he gets to the place abandoned by God, the more severe his symptoms become.

Alger stared at the unconscious Phil intently, trying to get some information from those disorderly babbles.

But in the end, nothing was found.

Shaking his head, he ordered all sailors to be driven out of the cabin.

After hesitating for a moment, he touched Phil's hair and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, kid, I won't let you die."

Alger Wilson, 37, his father's age.

Take a tarot card from your magic pocket.

He tapped the cards.

Buzz——

The space was distorted and rippled.

The tarot cards instantly turned white.

Alger said in a deep voice: "The moon."

Sizzling, sizzling...

After a brief noise, a figure suddenly appeared.

He has black hair and red eyes, and his hair is slicked back, giving him a serious look with a touch of chicness.

He looks about 27 or 28 years old, handsome, slightly feminine, with undisguised arrogance between his eyebrows, a high nose, and thin lips.

“What an honor~”

Emlyn White smiled: "Mr. Hanged Man, can I help you in any way?"

Tarot cards are party tokens and have all kinds of incredible abilities. Like the previous ‘Anti-Mask Device’, this card was also created by ‘Mr. Destiny’ Jon Joestar.

However, every time it is used, a portion of the Church of Fool's achievements will be automatically deducted. Alger rarely uses it unless absolutely necessary.

This time he really had no choice.

Alger stared at Emlyn's projection and said straight to the point: "Mr. Moon, please help me find out what disease this child has."

Emlyn turned around and looked at Phil on the hammock.

"Well……"

He hesitated for a while and then spoke with some regret: "Looking at the external symptoms, they are just a series of complications caused by poisoning, but these ravings should involve mysticism. My knowledge base is not enough to answer your question."

Emlyn is proud.

But he is also rational.

If you know it, you know it; if you don't know it, you don't know it.

When it comes to knowledge blind spots, there is no need to pretend to understand.

The new vampire thought for a moment and said, "Aside from Mr. Fool and Mr. Destiny, only Mr. World and Ms. Hermit can solve this problem."

Mr. Fool and Mr. Destiny are the true gods of sequence 0.

As a legendary mercenary, Mr. World has seen a lot.

The path of God where the Hermit Lady is located is closely related to ‘knowledge’.

After hearing this, Alger's face became a little solemn.

Do you want to trouble Mr. Fool and Mr. Destiny for such a trivial matter?

No.

This will only make you appear incompetent and unable to share the church's worries.

Seeing that Alger was silent, Emlyn said with relief, "Don't worry, with the church as a backup, your son will be fine."

Alger:? ? ?

No, now you want to be a father?

He shook his head, "This is not my son, he is a sailor on my ship. His father was my brother in life and death."

Hearing this, Emlyn was a little embarrassed.

I could only touch my nose and say, "Anyway, I hope everything is fine with you."

After a pause, he joked: "I almost forgot, if you see that boy Taiyang in the Eastern Continent, remember to give him a good punch for me."

Alger smiled bitterly and was noncommittal.

Interrupt communication.

He thought for a moment and once again used the power of the card to contact 'Mr. World'.

——White Wolf, a white wolf active in the Feysac Empire and the sea.

If it were him, there must be a way!

Sizzling...sizzling...sizzling...

There was a murmur for a long time.

There was never any response from the other side.

"Busy?" Alger secretly guessed.

Waited another three or four minutes.

Still no movement.

He had to hang up, his expression a little ugly.

Alger didn't think that the white wolf was deliberately trying to keep him company. Thinking about it, there must be some situation where he couldn't be distracted.

"Let me tell you, your luck is really bad." Alger said helplessly to the unconscious Phil.

If it is the hermit lady, there will be no response.

He really can only use the last resort, 'ask God to come down to earth'.

Buzz——

Sudden.

The tarot cards in Alger's hand lit up.

His heart moved and he quickly answered the call.

The phantom condenses.

A white-haired man with deep eyes appeared in front of Alger.

The other party was wearing an Intis-style windbreaker and hunting boots, with a strong and deep temperament.

"Mr. Hanged Man, I'm sorry, I couldn't make any move just now."

Alger suddenly felt that White Wolf was more 'illusory' than Emlyn just now, and his condition was not very good.

It's just that he didn't ask too many questions and explained the situation directly.

"I'll take a look first and then talk..." Klein, who finally returned to Origin Castle from Leonard's body, looked at it carefully.

It doesn't matter if you look at it.

In the child named Phil, he actually detected a hint of the "Twilight Giant" and "Gate".

"A huge human-faced sea snake?" Klein secretly guessed: "It should be some kind of marine creature that accidentally swallowed a sea creature with extraordinary characteristics and was lucky enough to survive."

It is not uncommon for powers of non-adjacent pathways to be present in the same body.

This is how the ancient gods used to play.

For example, the Demon Wolf of Destruction (Fool + Darkness), such as the Phoenix Ancestor (Death + Door)

In the past, we just crossed the river by feeling for the stones. There was no blasphemous slate for reference. We just ate whatever we caught.

Therefore, most of the ancient gods were crazy and unconscious.

Back to business.

It's a similar story with Phil.

He himself is a Sequence 8 'Rageful People' of the Tyrant Path, and he was injured by the Human-Faced Sea Serpent, which caused his blood to be contaminated, and he has the mixed power of the 'Twilight Giant' and the 'Gate' path.

Unlucky?

It's a miracle that this kid survived!

Klein smiled: "I can solve this problem."

Hearing this, Alger felt relieved: "Mr. World, I will give you a certain reward. I owe you a favor this time."

Tarot Club members are more than family.

But brothers also have to settle accounts, right?

Klein was inexplicably excited.

I owed so much debt, but today I finally got the money back!

Reach a consensus.

Klein immediately began to cast spells.

Although what is here is just an afterimage that is worse than the projection.

But the fault lies solely with him.

The difference between the afterimage and the main body is not too big.

He pinched his eye sockets, and the white wolf's figure in the cabin became slightly more solid.

Alger noticed this change, but he wisely said nothing.

Klein pondered for a moment and drew a thin transparent line.

This is not a spiritual thread.

Instead, it is a 'stealer' secret technique imitated by Jon's method.

After these days of careful teaching from Grandpa Pales, he had his own understanding of the extraordinary abilities of the adjacent paths.

But he saw thin transparent lines drilling into Phil's forehead, making Alger's pupils shrink.

But he remained silent.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A full four or five minutes passed.

Klein took a long breath: "It's done."

Done?

Alger looked at Phil if he felt something.

Klein explained: “His pollution has been removed, but his original extraordinary abilities can no longer be used.

My suggestion is to take another dose of the warrior's and apprentice's potion, he will digest it in no time. "

Without one copy of the Sequence 8 ‘Rageful People’ extraordinary characteristic, there was an opportunity to take two more potions.

Although this child’s upper limit is fixed at Sequence 7 throughout his life.

But warriors + apprentices can fight and run. As long as they work well under Alger, they can become a figure in the future.

Alger was overjoyed to find out the whole story.

No matter what, as long as you can save your life.

Klein thought for a while and said: "The reason why this child's symptoms are so severe is also related to the proximity to the God-Forsaken Land. There are too many ownerless powers here. You should understand what I mean."

Alger looked stern and nodded: "When I successfully cross the sea of ​​ruins, I will take the initiative to contact Mr. Fool and Mr. Destiny. Be careful in everything."

Hearing this, Klein stopped talking and took the initiative to cut off the communication.

Return to Source Castle.

He looked at the ball of blue and black extraordinary properties in his hand, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Ten days of study.

He finally mastered the power of the 'Stealer'.

First, the purple light from the spiritual world illuminates the core.

Later, Grandpa Pales taught him personally.

Although he has not yet mastered the wrong path, Klein, who possesses uniqueness, can proudly declare that he is an excellent thief.

only……

"It doesn't feel stable enough." Klein put down the contaminated Beyonder characteristics and gently pinched the center of his brow.

Antigonus is not a low-sequence extraordinary person.

The extraordinary characteristics of the ‘Rageful People’ are not as good as those of the ‘Servant of Secrets’.

It takes three or four minutes to steal a child by yourself.

It would have taken more than ten hours to replace him with Antigonus!

He calculated.

How many times could Antigonus kill him in these more than ten hours...

In the end, Klein shook his head and said, "We still need to plan steadily and not be impatient."

Then, he chuckled softly: "Fortunately, the promotion ceremony for classmate Leonard is not short, otherwise, it would be really difficult to handle."

Consciousness sinks.

Klein returns to the Honakis Mountains.

With ease, he got into Leonard's body.

In the mental world, he and Grandpa Pales met again.

The old man didn't ask Klein where he was going, but naturally began to impart knowledge.

Klein listened carefully and asked questions from time to time.

Compared to Leonard, who often quarreled with Grandpa Pales, Klein was like a kitten, extremely well-behaved.

"Media is very important. We must steal concepts and steal power from abstract symbols." Grandpa Pales' tone became more serious. "In other words, you must have a connection with Antigonus!"

connect?

I have it.

Klein thought of the "Notes of Antigonus" placed in the Source Castle and the body that fell on the ceiling.

But then, he rejected the idea.

Klein believes that extraordinary ability in the wrong way is like solving a problem.

There are methods and formulas.

Maybe others don't have to be so rigid.

But after all, he is an Extraordinary of the 'Fool' path, and he just happens to be able to rely on the high level of Source Castle to use the wrong uniqueness.

So don’t skip the necessary steps!

"Contact...contact...contact..."

Klein thought hard.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

"Black iron cross!"

Antigonus controlled Little Zarathu, who sealed Sherlock Moriarty, and the black iron cross where Sherlock Moriarty lived was in his hands again.

Isn’t this just a connection?

The more Klein thought about it, the more reliable it became.

Then the next step is how to steal little Zaratul's identity, turn himself into Antigonus' marionette, steal Antigonus' extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness, and then use the black iron cross to 'resurrection' 'Yes.

"It seems you already have some ideas." Grandpa Pales glanced at Klein's expression and smiled gently.

Klein smiled and said, "I have some ideas, but they are not mature enough."

After a pause, he changed the topic: "Mr. Palles, what about you? Amon has jumped to the red priest path. You don't have to avoid him anymore. Have you never thought about leaving Leonard and starting a new life? "

As soon as these words were spoken, Grandpa Pales was obviously stunned for a moment.

He asked Klein: "My family has disappeared in the long river of history, and the people I know have also disappeared. What can I look forward to tomorrow?"

Klein: ...

Grandpa Pales smiled: "I plan to follow this boy. I will watch him step up step by step and see whether he is brilliant or embarrassed."

"You know, I'm an old man."

"Ha, nothing makes me feel happier than teasing children." (End of Chapter)
