Pirate System

Chapter 192 The Warlock

Near noon the next day, Tang Ke stayed in his captain's cabin, facing the mirror, staring at his other self in the mirror. His hair is wet, and the hair that hangs down on his forehead is dripping water. He holds a bottle of black liqueur in his left hand, and several bandages are wrapped around his right hand, which wraps the fish-shaped black mark.

Last night, because of Zela's presumptuous visit, the Dragon Pirates' banquet became dull. Although Tang Ke played it lightly afterwards, the pirates' drinking mood was still greatly reduced, even if it was described as parting ways Not too much.

But the most uncomfortable person was Tang Ke himself. He insisted not to say anything about being cursed, and buried this trouble in his heart. He knew very well that everyone couldn't help him, and there was no need to speak out to make everyone feel uncomfortable. Moreover, the time for the onset of the curse was still long, and he still had plenty of time to think of a solution. Although his thoughts were optimistic, there was still a cloud in his heart.

The pain on the black mark has disappeared, but occasionally there will be pain like lightning, and then it will disappear quickly. The pain that came at this time seemed to remind him that the curse was with him like a shadow, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Tang Ke really wanted to know how to lift the curse. At first, he planned to send a ship back to the Pirate City to inquire about it, but then he thought, Harold must have been busy with this matter for so many years, but in the end he still fell Since it is a sea monster, it can be seen that the solution to the curse of the fish must be very difficult, or even unsolvable. In this case, there is no need for him to inquire everywhere in a hurry. For the time being, he should focus on the original plan and not be distracted.

He had a guess that maybe if Zela was killed, the curse would naturally disappear. He felt that this guess was very feasible. In this way, his original plan was further strengthened. Regardless of the curse, everything would go according to plan.

A gentle knock on the door interrupted Tang Ke's thoughts, the door was pushed open, and it was Iona who came in.

Iona was wearing silver-rimmed glasses as usual, and her eyes were full of worry behind the lenses. She was wearing a white top with complicated folds at the neckline and cuffs, and a pair of straight black trousers on the lower body. A woman's dress is very different, but on the ship, her dress can only be more sophisticated, and she can't wear those bloated skirts.

Tang Ke looked at Iona and felt very seductive. He liked Iona's unique and capable demeanor. Iona did not avoid this kind of admiring gaze, appearing graceful. The two greeted each other, Tang Ke grabbed the towel on the shelf and wiped the water off his face, while Iona stood aside.

Iona stared at the gauze on Tang Ke's right hand, her worried expression became serious, and she said obliquely: "Tang Ke, I am of one heart with you, and I am willing to bear some heavy things with you."

Tang Ke knew what Iona had discovered, but regarding the curse,

He didn't want to tell the truth, so he pretended to be confused and said, "Heavy things? I didn't intend to let you fight the sacks. You help me manage the accounts and do statistics are enough."

"Of course it doesn't refer to sacks. Heavy things refer to difficulties." Iona walked up to Tang Ke, raised her smooth and delicate face, and looked directly at Tang Ke with her beautiful eyes. Her breasts swelled proudly, stretching her clothes into an arc, and she was about to push against Tang Ke.

Tang Ke saw the real concern in Iona's eyes, his heart was touched, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Difficulties? No, I don't have any difficulties."

"Then what's wrong with your hands?" Iona asked forcefully, moving her body forward, as if it would give her more momentum, and her chest would get closer to Tang Ke.

"It was hurt when I shook hands with Zela yesterday. The guy wanted to shake hands with me in order to stab me. Tsk tsk, what a family."

"Tang Ke, what are you hiding? Why can't you share it with me or us?" Iona looked disbelieving.

Tang Ke amplified his volume and said, "It's just some pain, why bother to annoy people everywhere?"

"Then let me see your hand, or I won't be relieved."

Tang Ke hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help Iona's stubbornness, so he had to pass his hand over.

Iona stretched out her hand and carefully peeled off the gauze, her movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting Tang Ke. The gauze was untied in circles, revealing the bloody palms.

Tang Ke used a knife to cut off a black mark last night, and found that the curse had penetrated into it, not just printed on the surface. Because of this, the blood stains covered the mark of the curse.

Iona held Tang Ke's injured hand, looked at the shocking wound, her eyes slowly turned red, and asked in a crying voice, "It must be very painful, right?"

Tang Ke noticed tears welling up in Iona's eyes, he was surprised, he didn't expect Iona to cry so easily. In order to stop the tears that were about to fall, he hurriedly said: "Actually, it doesn't hurt at all, it's just a wound. Any wound on my body is bigger than this. You must hold back, how about letting me tell you a joke? "

Iona smiled, but the tears did not fall.

Tang Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly wrapped the gauze up.

Iona thought it was just an ordinary wound, and believed Tang Ke's words. Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and then said goodbye happily.

Tang Ke was the only one left in the room again, he didn't plan to eat yet, so he couldn't help but start looking at his palms. At this time, Heiyin happened to feel a burst of electric pain. He endured his own pain and intuitively felt the power of the warlock profession. A warlock is a profession that borrows the power of the abyss demon. It can use the power called shadow to cause pain, and can also summon the flames of the abyss, and directly drive the demon to be a slave

By the way, Warlock

Tang Ke's whole body trembled, his eyes sparkled, and he almost cried out. His previous attention was on the curse, but he ignored another thing that was extremely beneficial to him. What Zela brought him was not only the curse, but also the conditions for activating the Warlock profession

In this world, apart from a few professions that have been lost, it is currently recognized that the strongest profession is the magician. However, it is very difficult to meet this group of rare masters, and Tang Ke has never had the chance to meet, let alone activate this profession. Although warlocks are not as good as magicians, they can also cast spells, have terrible destructive power, and can also summon demons and use some insidious curses.

Tang Ke still has a career vacancy. He thinks it is very suitable to fill it with a warlock. In this way, he has the physique of a swordsman and the spells of a warlock, which is very ideal. Although having one more profession will inevitably greatly increase the consumption of reward points, but the reward points required to activate a first-order profession are not many.

He made up his mind, clicked on the system interface, and flipped through it quickly.

Warlock:

Description: Warlocks work with the darkness, spend their entire lives studying the power of demons, and can even summon demons from the abyss to their side. It can be said that Warlock is a legal profession that focuses on destruction, and its combat methods are quite diverse, making it difficult for the enemy to parry.

The power of a warlock comes from the abyss plane, but in order to communicate with the abyss plane, soul fragments are needed as a medium. Warlocks can control the power of shadows, which is the most negative power in the world, hidden in everyone's heart. Warlocks can use shadow powers to make enemies feel unbearable pain. Warlocks can summon the flames of the abyss. This kind of powerful flame that even the devil would retreat three points is enough to generate the power of starting a prairie fire. What makes warlocks most proud is that they can summon and drive demons.

Required bonus points: 400.

Changes when activated: Possess Shadow Power, Possess Mana, Shadow Power +2, Mana +3. You can learn the [Fallen] skill, communicate with the abyss with an evil heart, and use it for cultivation and restore mana, [Dark Flame] skill, release a group of flames from the abyss, combat power +2, mana -1.

After browsing through it, Tang Ke was deeply satisfied, but judging from the first-order introduction, it was still very weak. What made him somewhat concerned was that after becoming a warlock, it was inevitable that he would have to deal with demons, and he would become even more evil under the influence of his ears and eyes. Fortunately, the price of becoming evil is something he can accept and cannot stop him.

He took a deep breath, had enough preparations, and clicked OK in his mind, and the feeling of enlightenment came. He raised his head slightly, feeling all kinds of information pouring in. When he opened his eyes again, he already possessed the qualifications and abilities of a warlock. In terms of appearance, he was the same as before, but there was a shadow force that was about to move in his body.

He stood up, intending to release a flame to try, but he felt something was wrong when he stretched his hand halfway, and now he lacked a staff. Now that the matter is over, he doesn't need to be stingy anymore, he simply continues to squeeze out the few remaining reward points, enters the [Exchange] interface, and looks for a suitable staff. Items of this type are treasures, and the consumption of points is astonishing. Even the most inferior ordinary-level staff requires 300 reward points. The points required for slightly better staffs make Tang Ke feel even more heartbroken.

In the end, he could only buy a dead wood staff to deal with it first. Cheap is not good, his staff looks very poor, bare, like an old man's walking stick. There is a dirty gem inlaid on the top of the staff. This gem can serve as a container for soul fragments. The staff currently contains a part of soul fragments. Once it is exhausted, it can only be replenished by the dead, and the fresher the dead The better, the more powerful the dead, the better.

Tang Ke whispered a brief incantation, sensing the opening of the gate of the abyss, and the evil power passed through the distant space and reached the captain's room.

"bump"

Black flames burst out, and the temperature in the room suddenly rose.

Tang Ke exclaimed a few times in joy, and shook his hands, letting the black flames dissipate without a trace. Afterwards, he experimented with the "Degenerate" skill again, sat on a chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

Ordinary warlocks need to worship the devil statue to open the door of the abyss, but Tang Ke is an exception. He can omit the step of worshiping the devil statue and let his mind directly enter the abyss. His body is still on the material plane, but his mind has traveled through the distant space and came to the gate of the abyss. This gate is erected on two towering mountains, and it is like an arch bridge across both sides, with a whirlpool in the middle. The flames turned, and the flame core was pure black.

There was a huge suction force coming from the gate of the abyss, and Tang Keding had no resistance at all, and was directly sucked in. The flame vortex was like a random portal, directly throwing Tang Ke somewhere on the first floor of the abyss.

After Tang Ke's thoughts came here, it turned into a round eyeball, but this eyeball is not a physical body, but an energy body, which seems to be composed of nothingness. He felt slightly dizzy, and looked around after recovering.

There is a big ball of fire above that is baking the earth, just like the sun that has been magnified countless times. There are barren scorched earth everywhere, and crack-like ground fissures can be seen everywhere. Inside the ground fissures are boiling bright red magma. Looking around , are all continuous mountains, and there are many erupting volcanoes. This place is obviously not suitable for ordinary creatures to live in. Tang Ke is glad that he only reached here with his mind. Even so, he can still feel the scalding heat. In addition to the heat, he also feels the evil energy permeating everywhere.

He tasted wine and absorbed the evil energy around him, feeling that he seemed a little stronger. He could find a place to practice, but he was more interested in the surrounding situation, so he flew out swaggeringly. I don't know if he was unlucky or lucky. After floating for a long time, he saw a ruin behind the mountain. It was composed of many ruined walls and a half-slanted statue. Curious, he leaned over and heard strange shouts from the ruins.

He passed through a dilapidated gate and entered the ruins. The surrounding buildings were made of stone and could withstand the high temperature. Apart from the buildings, the most thing here were bones. He broke into a room at random, but it was empty. After he exited, he flew straight to the source of the sound, wanting to see what the creatures in the abyss looked like. He broke through the almost melting heat, climbed over a high wall, and got a clear view of the scene below.

I saw five monsters gathered together. They were very big, with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, long ears similar to goblins, a pair of upturned and curved horns on their foreheads, and a long hair that was as hot and red as fire. They are ghosts, the most numerous low-level demons in the abyss, and spread across all layers of the abyss. Sometimes they are cannon fodder for battles, and sometimes they are food for high-level demons, which are very worthless. Between the five of them was a pile of bone fragments with simple patterns engraved on them, which turned out to be a game similar to throwing dice.

One of the ghosts sensed Tang Ke's presence, jumped up and screamed a few times, the voice was close to the monkey, and the other ghosts also turned their faces away, staring at Tang Ke aggressively.

In Tang Ke's current state, he can't do anything, let alone resist, he can't even speak. Seeing that some ghosts had malicious intentions, he flinched a few times and stepped back.

The ghost who first spotted Tang Ke yelled a few times, then sprang up, not only nimbly but also jumping very high.

Before Tang Ke was caught, he began to withdraw his thoughts, but this kind of thing couldn't be moved by his heart, and he couldn't return to the material plane for a while. He had no choice but to float to a high place, but he was still grabbed by the ghost. His eyes went dark and he couldn't see the situation clearly. He could only feel the pressure from the surroundings, and his mind was in severe pain. This kind of pain is different from the pain of the body. , directly acting on thoughts and hearts. He endured it and waited until his thoughts were crushed. His thoughts forcibly returned to the Cangtian, and because the thoughts were crushed, the evil power he absorbed was lost in vain, and not only did his mana not recover, but it was a little bit damaged.

Although the first exploration ended in being destroyed, Tang Ke has achieved his goal and is still in a good mood. In order to show off, he came to the deck and shouted to the busy pirates: "Guys, look at the captain, I will show you a new skill." After he finished speaking, he used the dark flame skill for the second time and successfully created A fist-sized flame.

Seeing this scene, the pirates on the deck were all stunned, and one pirate who hadn't recalled it sarcastically reminded: "Captain, you are not allowed to play with fire on board.". .
