Pirate Kingship

“Hiss——!”

The ghost ship’s own [Fear Aura] suddenly spread out, making all living creatures stand on end, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Although the ghost ship Black Coffin seemed to be dead silent, except for the creaking of the worn-out wooden boards, there was no sound that a normal sailboat should have.

Instead, it made people feel even more terrified.

The oppressive feeling it brought to them was not inferior to that of the monster-like octopus warship underwater.

In fact, if we only compare the various bizarre legends circulating on the sea, the former’s reputation of stopping children’s crying is clearly higher than the latter.

[Mr. Crow] Nahum put away the horn, laughed twice, and fluttered his wings to land on the sail beam of the ghost ship’s main mast.

It added a bit of the flavor of the messenger of death to it.

Byron also stopped summoning Gungnir.

It was only because at this time, he felt the other party’s undisguised hostility.

He really didn't know whether he should throw at the May Wind or the Black Coffin, even if he had the only magic gun in his hand.

"Is this the [Two-Faced Man] Smith Robert, the fourth-level heroic [Coffin Carrier] of the Kingdom of Castile?

How could he come so quickly?"

Meganila, who had successfully dealt with the frigate [Resolution], naturally discovered this uninvited guest, and her heart suddenly tightened.

When she was meeting at the Farrows Lighthouse, she almost had a head-on conflict with the other party. After returning, she naturally collected information about this fourth-level hero as soon as possible.

The extraordinary world dominated by the Silver Law is better in this regard.

Any powerful extraordinary person among humans must have a name, and you may be able to directly search for the other party's public information in the "Key of Omniscience" in the public library.

Smith Robert's profession is a fourth-level [Coffin Carrier] of the Cemetery Sequence.

Sequence motto: "Give all things rest!"

In most people's impressions, this profession is usually a cold image of a person wearing black clothes and carrying a black coffin or corpse barrel on his back.

Mainly responsible for sending the dead who died in other places back to their hometowns.

Promoted all the way to the hero level, the corresponding fourth-level professional ability [Soul Ferry] has been awakened:

"Go back and forth freely in the spiritual world.

Send the soul of the deceased to a specific area in the sea of ​​human collective subconsciousness, so that it will not fall into the sea of ​​source outside the world, and you can get a trace of spiritual gifts.

You can even harvest unexpected tangible and intangible "legacy" from your guests."

After being promoted to the fourth level, [Two-Faced Man], in addition to the hero skills, naturally also obtained the qualifications to establish a guard.

With the support of the Kingdom of Castile, he paid a huge price to capture a ghost ship that had similar functions to the coffin carrier, acting as his coffin and undead guard.

Driving this ghost ship, he can not only travel in the real world, but also go directly to the world of the dead.

Fighting him is like fighting a white and a black soul-catcher, and his strength can be imagined.

No one wants to provoke such a dangerous guy casually.

However.

As the governor of Iris, Meganila frowned deeply at the other party.

Although this place belongs to the Windward Strait, it is only a nautical mile away from Cape St. Nicholas of Iris, and it is definitely within the 3-nautical-mile territorial waters of a country.

This means that the [Black Coffin] has entered the territory of Iris!

The lady looked back at the lineup of the two allied forces, and then she shouted with courage:

"Mr. Smith, as the governor of the Iris Colony, I ask you to withdraw from our territorial waters.

Otherwise, your behavior will be regarded as a provocation by us."

Da Da Da.

After a word was shouted out, a sound of footsteps finally sounded on the deadly ghost ship.

A tall, thin figure in leather clothes appeared on the bow.

He wore a captain's hat, his long gray hair was scattered behind him, his skin was pale, and his whole body exuded a cold and gloomy aura like a dead person.

[Two-Faced Man] Smith ignored Meganilla's weak threat, and looked directly at the Golden Deer and May Wind who were still fighting each other, with a sneer on his lips:

"Iris territorial waters? Since this is not my home court, you should all go to the world of the dead with me!"

He raised an old whale oil lamp in his hand high.

You can see a distorted human face in the green flame, staring at everyone in front of him with wide eyes.

This is obviously the ghost ship's ship spirit.

The ghost ship with its own consciousness is said to be the closest ship to the legendary warship on the sea.

There are even rumors that the birth of the first legendary warship in the hands of human craftsmen was based on the ghost ships that were born naturally on the sea.

Bang!

As the lantern exploded, a bright green light flashed.

It seemed as if a glimmer of green light in the sunset instantly covered the Black Coffin, the May Wind underwater, and the Golden Deer.

The silhouettes of the three warships gradually became illusory.

This green light symbolizes the edge of the world, the boundary between life and death!

Legend has it that when a life returns or leaves, a green light will appear on the horizon.

Especially at sunset, when this strange phenomenon appears on the sea, it means that the dead are traveling through the boundary between yin and yang.

The ghost ship responsible for transporting the dead can actively drag people into the interlayer between the material world and the spiritual world - the edge of the world, which is commonly known as the world of the dead.

Most of the ghost ships in the world sail here, it is their absolute home!

Once ordinary people fall into it and face a terrifying ghost ship, the best outcome may be to survive or die.

[Two-Face Man] Robert Smith did not take into account Byron and his party who were also human beings.

In other words, the Golden Deer was originally the attack target of the ghost ship.

Once he finds an opportunity, [Two-Face Man], who shoulders the mission of the kingdom, can't wait to take away all the other competitors.

Not only does he want to cut off the beard, but he also wants to kill him!

The smile on Smith's pale face did not change, but it only looked colder:

“The rules of the game are the rules of the game.

As long as I kill all other competitors, even if the Kingdom of Castile does nothing, it will be enough to essentially obtain the "protection rights" and even the right to rule the entire Bantaan Islands!

Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to turn the planned archdiocese directly into the vice-royal district?

If it weren't for the current limited load capacity of the Black Coffin and I, I would even want to swallow the iris together. It's a pity. "

[May Wind] was originally pulling the entire crew of [Golden Deer] towards the dreamland, but at this moment, a powerful force in the same direction suddenly appeared.

It was as if in a close tug-of-war match, one side suddenly gained a new heavyweight force.

The illusory anchor chain can no longer stabilize their balance.

collapse--!

The anchor made by Byron and Violet using the astral body disintegrated instantly, and there was a sudden weightless feeling under their feet.

This time, not only everyone's consciousness, but also the entire ship was dragged down.

Byron quickly shouted:

"No, all crew members must hold on to the cables. We are about to fall. Prepare for the impact."

But in the captain's cabin of the octopus battleship underwater, the increasingly inhuman [Infinite Evolver] Balboa was not surprised by this scene.

A trace of human madness flashed in his eyes:

"GuluGulu. The opportunity I have been waiting for has finally come, for my Lord!"

He raised his left hand that had turned into a sea anemone, and with its tentacles squirming, a golden compass was handed to him.

This is the [Level 2 Cursed Object·Desire Compass] that can point to the thing you want most in your heart.

The compass has three levels in total.

From top to bottom, one layer corresponds to the material world, one layer corresponds to the edge of the world, and the last layer corresponds to the sea of ​​source material outside the material world.

It means that as long as it wants to, it can pass through the cracks in the world and go to any level of space to find what it wants.

Under normal circumstances, the pointer is always stationary. Don't expect it to work as diligently as its counterparts and always point to the South Pole silently.

Only the strongest desire can drive that golden hand to turn.

Whether it's something you're looking for, a wish you want to realize, or even a simple desire to survive, it can point you in a specific direction.

If you look along this direction, you may get the thing directly, you may find the corresponding clues, or you may encounter a series of coincidences that fulfill your desires at the right time and place.

All anti-divination methods cannot completely block its perception. At most, they can only blur its precise positioning, extending from a few meters to hundreds or even thousands of meters.

It's one of the world's most expert players when it comes to finding things and satisfying desires.

The only disadvantage: it only provides directions. Whether you can complete it is entirely up to you. Once you go there, you will not be guaranteed.

"Gulu. My desire, Gulu, is of course to help my master. Gulu returns to reality with the Era of Snails!"

[Infinite Evolver] Balboa's ideal during his lifetime was to find a new continent.

Eventually the wish comes true and he is tainted there.

When he fell, his only wish became to awaken the sleeping god and allow him to return to the world.

Thinking back on the "god's envoy"'s instructions to him, the golden pointer on the compass also began to turn according to his desires.

From the edge of the falling world, it suddenly points to the lower spiritual world, the sea of ​​essence!

The eight incomplete tentacles danced suddenly, pulling the power from the dream, dragging the three battleships anchored together to turn a corner.

The next moment.

With a loud "pop" sound, they passed by the edge of a world full of undead and fell into the pitch-black sea of ​​source matter.

at the same time.

A thick, milky white fog suddenly appeared on the sea northeast of the Taiman Islands in the Earl of Greenville, slowly moving with the perennial northeasterly wind.

Even the heavy rain from the sky has no effect on this white mist.

From the upwind position, it blew bit by bit towards the entire bustling international port.

In the deepest part of the fog, four other octopus warships were slowly approaching the port along with the thick fog.

The densely packed mature barnacles on the body opened small openings and continued to spread the mist into the air, making the mist thicker and thicker.

Apparently the other four frigates in the nine-ship Octopus fleet were not uncaptured.

Magnilla's guess that the May Wind wanted to capture them and replenish the fleet was just a trick from beginning to end.

How similar is this to the fraud prevention routine that Byron gave Jacqueline Cope at the beginning?

The various forces that hunted the May Wind regarded it as the embodiment of supreme power. Taking it down was equivalent to taking the right to protect it.

When the news of its appearance on the sea surface spread, anyone who had the ability to rush over would definitely get involved.

Iris, Hastings, and Castile were all the same.

No one would doubt whether there was a sinkhole waiting for them to jump in, but would only flock to it for fame and fortune.

It was exactly the same as those old men at the entrance of the village who heard that the annualized return of financial products was 35%.

One word: Go!

Two words: Buy it!

With visible and huge profits, no matter how strong the anti-fraud skills are, it is useless.

Perhaps only bystanders who don’t care about interests can truly stay sober.

"When I was exploring the sea of ​​human collective subconsciousness, I once read a sentence that said we should despise our opponents strategically and take them seriously tactically.

Although I know that those guys are limited in strength and cannot do harm, the [Silver Law] in the hands of the Governor is still a bit troublesome.

It is better to let them all leave early.

Maybe I can't control the process, but the [Desire Compass] will naturally guide things in the most appropriate direction.

Now even if you scream your throat out, no one in the entire Bantaan Islands can come to save you."

On the stern corridor of an octopus battleship, the young gentleman in a formal suit and gold-rimmed glasses smiled and took off his hat to greet the entire port city:

"I wish everyone in the International Port a long rest!"
