Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws

"How is it, Captain, what did my uncle tell you?" As soon as he saw Rune walking out of the study, Kasruto immediately came up and asked.

"He said he wanted me to help you get the first place in the Sea Hunter Exam."

"And then, what then?" Kasruto was like a child, clenching his fists in front of his chest, "Did he promise to give you anything?"

Rune glanced at him and didn't speak for the time being.

"No way?" Seeing Rune's state, Kasruto hurriedly pulled him back, "No, no, how can you not give benefits? I'll take you back to find him!"

Seeing Kasruto's look, Rune couldn't help but chuckle.

Sometimes little fans are still very useful

He just wants to take me to get the wool of his uncle.

I don't know what Admiral Niels's expression will be when he knows.

But seeing Kasruto's anxious look, Rune didn't plan to tease him anymore.

"Admiral Niels promised me that if I help you get the first place in the Sea Hunter Exam, he will let me go to the Knight Tower for further study."

"What?! Knight Tower?" Casruto, who had just been speaking up for Rune, suddenly changed his face again, completely losing his "knight" demeanor, "Damn! You mean the Knight Tower!"

"The Knight Tower is powerful?" Rune also thought that the Knight Tower would be a good place for practice.

But from Casruto's look, he seemed to have underestimated this place.

"So Captain Rune, you don't know the Knight Tower"

Casruto took a deep breath,

"In the early days of the establishment of the empire, mages and wizards built their own academies, named the Mage Tower and the Wizard Tower."

"Among them, the Mage Tower studied spells and scrolls, and the Wizard Tower studied potions and alchemy"

"Between the two towers, countless talented mages and wizards gathered, turning it into a holy place, which led to a trend of magic for a while."

"The knight faction gradually weakened between the two towers. In desperation, three legendary knights took the lead and built The Knight Tower was established to specialize in the cultivation of mind, spirit and combat skills. "

"Thus, the three towers of the empire were formed, and the organization of the 'Three Towers Association' was also established."

"The 'Emperor' issued a decree that each principality, large family, and large force can send a fixed number of people to the Three Towers for further study every three years according to the regulations."

"Every three years, Beloberg has only five places for the Knight Tower plus our family's place, a total of only seven."

After saying that, Kasruto looked at Rune with envy.

"I have asked my uncle for a place many times, but he didn't give it to me. It's still your face, Captain."

After hearing Kasruto's narration, Rune attached more importance to Admiral Niels' promise before.

He originally thought that the Knight Tower was just an academy of the Knight Sect in Beloberg.

Now it seems that it is not that simple!

As a principality, Beloberg only has five places in three years

The Vasek family has only two places in total.

It can be seen how precious this place is.

"So, we must win the first place in this sea hunting exam." Rune said.

In order to enter the Knight Tower, we must do our best this time.

Kasruto nodded and said, "Of course, but there are only two days before the sea hunting exam. How should we prepare?"

"That's too simple." Rune looked at Kasruto, "I need you to do four things."

"Captain, you tell me, I'll remember." Kasruto took out a small notebook.

Rune said, "The first thing is to send a group of people out to investigate the preparations of other young lions."

"Yes." Kasruto wrote it down, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"The second thing is to write down the names of all those who come to invest in you and give them to General Niels to let him decide whether to accept the investment."

"That's fine too. Although asking my uncle for help is a bit against the rules, given my relationship with my uncle, I should really consider the impact on the family." Kasruto wrote it down again.

"The third thing is, there was a sea chart on your uncle's desk just now. I need you to steal that thing."

"This" Casruto hesitated.

Rune said calmly: "I have observed that map before. It records the distribution of various sea beasts and some small bases of the Hydra Church in the Beloberg Sea. You say he is a general, why would he put that map out for no reason? This is not something he cares about."

Casruto suddenly realized, "Captain, you mean, uncle deliberately..."

"Hush" Rune signaled silence, "You should be able to get that map easily. In addition to that thing, what useful props does your uncle have? Take them out together."

"Okay, okay."

"The last thing." Rune said, "I need you to contact the major last time, what was his name, right, Major Abi! Borrow a ship Beloberg main battleship!"

"Borrow. Main battleship?" Casruto raised his voice a little, "Will this be judged as a violation of the rules? The main battleship is rated far beyond the combat power of 'Sequence 8'."

"This is indeed a problem." Rune thought for a while, "Can the main gun of the battleship be temporarily removed and installed on the ship we are going to sea?"

"No." Casruto shook his head frantically, "This violates the naval law, and if caught, you will lose your head! The main battleship of the navy can only cruise or standby in the designated area. Special circumstances can be reported and urgently go to certain sea areas for support." Rune was not surprised by Casruto's answer.

As the important combat capability of Beloberg, the main battleship must not leave the defense without authorization even when facing a ceremony such as the "Sea Hunting Examination".

This involves Beloberg's defense and security issues.

but

Lu En narrowed his eyes, "Then let Major Abi apply for the exercise. The exercise route will be consistent with our sea route."

"Exercise. Is this okay?" Casrito asked, "In the end, what if others still say we violated the rules?"

"Breaking the rules?" Luen looked at Castretto, "Others don't violate the rules? I don't believe they don't have some secret tricks. Besides, Major Abi violated the exercise ban, what does it have to do with us?"

When Casrito heard this, his eyes lit up, "Yes! Major Abi violated the ban, what does it have to do with me? Captain, I've realized it again!"

Two days flew by.

In Lysa's alchemy workshop, little Carter was carefully counting the gold and silver nuggets on the ground.

These gold and silver nuggets were all melted from the gold cups and silver plates she stole at the Wasek family banquet.

After conversion, it is worth five gold coins and more than three hundred silver coins.

All of it was treated as her pocket money.

It is said that after the banquet that day, the person in charge was extremely confused about the theft of cups and plates, but in the end there was no result.

After all, the people who come are either family descendants or decorated sergeants.

No one seems bored enough to steal some cups and plates.

In the end, it can only be reported as "accidentally lost".

As for Rune, in the past two days, in addition to replenishing ammunition and remaking two "ultimate explosive bombs", he has been studying the gadgets in his hands.

——

[Wonderful Object]: A shabby old pocket watch

[Level]: Epic lv.30

[Ability (slow motion)]: Designate a target with sequence 7 or below, causing the opponent to slow down time for 1.5 seconds; consumes 500 spiritual points, and has a cooling time of 1 natural day.

[Ability (Energy Burst)]: Every 1 minute, (50) spiritual points will be restored to the holder.

PS: The pocket watch that Admiral Niels collected in the early years is just a souvenir now; the surface is badly damaged and it seems to be on the verge of being scrapped. Use it and cherish it.

——

It was exactly two days ago that during the Lion Ceremony, Rune used his "bandit" ability to steal an epic rare item from Admiral Niers.

And this prop is the most heaven-defying one that has been obtained so far, other than the "naturally rare devil pepper".

Luen tested the "time lag" ability on little Carter.

The effect is horrific.

As a "Shadow Dancer" sequence, Little Carter is in full state. Under the slowdown in time, the whole person is like a person in a movie that has been slowed down by 80% in slow motion.

And she doesn't realize it yet.

A time lag of 1.5 seconds can definitely determine the outcome of a battle, or even life or death, at a critical moment.

Coupled with its second ability "Energy Burst", it ensures the holder's energy recovery during long battles.

Especially for Rune whose spiritual value is not enough now, it is just right.

The only shortcoming of this pocket watch may be its durability.

Every time it is used, there will be an additional crack on it.

Today's pocket watches can no longer last long.

So far, the bandit has used it three times, twice with good luck and once with excellent luck.

It added a lot of help to Lu En's growth path.

This also made Lu En realize that having extra spiritual value when breaking through the sequence seemed to be something worth doing.

After all, the last promotion sequence was the "Characteristic Promotion" caused by the extra spiritual value, which turned "stealing" into "banditry", and the effect was beyond imagination.

"Captain, that 'Casrito' is here." After a while, Lesa, who was wandering outside, pushed the door in.

Castretto followed closely behind, "Captain Luen, everything is ready."

"Then let's go." Lu En had nothing to prepare.

After staying in the city for many days, I have long missed the free wind on the sea.

Belloberg port, early morning.

The sky has not yet fully opened, and the port of Belloberg is already congested.

Just looking at the number of people, it was at least five times more than the number of people coming and going from the port at this point in the past.

"Sea Hunting Test", the last attempt of the Wasek family lion cub, attracted the attention of countless people.

Castretto followed Rune aboard their ship this time.

A light transport ship with a length of 20 meters, a width of 4 meters and a draft of 1.2 meters, named "Riptide".

It comes with 10 12-pound sideguns and no main gun.

However, an alchemy machine called "Overload Turbine" is attached, which can increase a certain sailing speed in a short period of time.

All in all, it was even cruder than Luen's "Survivor" before.

But this is also the highest-level ship allowed by the rules in the Sea Hunting Examination.

As one of the "potential stocks" this time, Lu En and others have attracted a lot of attention.

Including their opponents.

Rune, Castretto, and Little Carter returned to the captain's cabin and unfolded the chart they had stolen from Admiral Niers.

"Captain, I've been studying this map for two days, and I've basically decided on the itinerary."

Castretto picked up the pencil and started sketching on the map, "Look, in fifteen days, we will start from Belloberg Port. We can reach the King Squid area in one day, and then in the next two days, we will arrive at the King Squid area. Go to the 'Pearl Fish' sea area."

"Then we move forward, spend a week hunting the 'Deep Blue Whale', and return home in the remaining time."

"These three prey are qualified enough. It will be difficult for others to catch up."

After Lu En listened silently, he did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he asked: "Do you know the information and routes of the main competitors?"

"We have collected some, but they are not very accurate." Kasruituo said, "The main competitors at present are Liad, Yohn, and Rovshan. Their men heard that their men participated in the sea hunting sequence. There are dozens of 8 Transcendents each. But we are not bad, there are fifteen Sequence 8s.”

"Yes." Lu En nodded, "Next, follow my command."

"Say it." Casrito stood ready.

Lu En said: "Send seven weaker Sequence 8 Extraordinaries, and according to your plan, lead a large force to the King Squid area and the Pearl Fish area for sea hunting, and then send five more powerful Sequence 8 Extraordinaries to quietly Go directly to the Deep Blue Whale area for sea hunting.”

"You mean, separate?"

"Yes, in this operation, we should not only consider how much seafood is caught, but also how much can be brought back." Lu En said.

Castretto thought thoughtfully, "Then there are still three Sequence 8 Transcendents left."

"Let them follow the three main competitors, hanging from a distance, and inform us of information at any time."

"Okay." Castretto immediately went to give the order, and his ships immediately left the port.

When he returned to the captain's cabin, he remembered something, "Captain. What about us? What are we going to do?"

Rune looked at Castretto with a smile, "They hunt for seafood, and we hunt for lion cubs."

The sea outside Belloberg is calm.

Liad's fleet has a total of fifteen ships, with a total of 20 Sequence 8s helping out.

He was full of confidence in this sea hunt.

Since the last time he was shot away by Casrito, he had not thought about food or tea in the past two days.

Finally enlightened.

What bullshit rules.

Rules are meant to be broken!

Only the one standing at the end is the winner!

So for this sea hunt, he also brought some exclusive props, as well as several secretly hidden scrolls that obviously violated the rules.

As for other competitors, he also has corresponding understanding.

Especially Castretto, that guy still carried out sea hunting step by step. Think he can win with just one sea chart?

Thinking too much!

On my side, I have made sufficient plans!

You can definitely catch the most valuable seafood.

The sea breeze blows on your face, it is the breath of victory.

Liad is full of confidence and the ship has sailed into the predetermined sea area.

At this moment, someone from the side came to report.

"Report to Lieutenant Liad that a pirate ship has been spotted fifteen nautical miles away from us!"

Liad frowned, "How can there be a pirate ship so close to the Port of Beloberg? It's too bold, intercept it directly! Speaking of which, this pirate can be considered a 'sea cargo', right? I hope it's a big one." Bounty Pirate Leader!"

After he finished speaking, the person below was hesitating, "Well... after the pirate ship, there is Belloberg's fleet chasing him!"

"Huh? Is there already a fleet chasing him?" Liad immediately set up a telescope to see who could take action first.

The pictures inside the telescope made him more and more confused as he looked at them.

Because not far behind the pirate ship, there turned out to be Beloberg's main battleship!

Moreover, the distance between the pirate ship and the main battleship is not far.

According to common sense, for a pirate ship like that, the main battleship can stop the opponent with one shot.

But why? The two sides were just chasing each other and not firing?

Look at the gun barrel of the main battleship. It is being adjusted and seems to be preparing to fire.

Hmm, but the angle seems a bit wrong, as if it's facing your own fleet?

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Thinking of this, a horrifying idea suddenly appeared in Liad's mind.

No way.

Done!

This main battleship is coming for you!
