Strange Star Witch

Deep in the Dire Parish, a primitive wooden-wheeled cart without alchemical shock absorbers was slowly moving forward, being dragged by a slow donkey.

The roads here are uneven, and every pit they pass will make the old donkey more tired. There are blacksmith shops everywhere inside the Difficult Church, and the trucks pulling coal and iron ore have damaged the roads. In addition, this place is too remote and not worth maintaining.

The roads are in very poor condition.

The Church of Distress copied the Alchemist's steam turbine, but did not copy the steam train, because the Church promoted suffering and steam trains could make people's journeys more comfortable, which the Church would never tolerate.

Only suffering, only suffering that approaches the limit of a believer's endurance, can make believers realize the kindness of the god of craftsmen or other gods. It is the gods who bring faith and prevent people's lives from being too painful. It is also the gods who build heaven for believers.

Let believers not be as miserable after death as they were during life.

On the cart, Jack was swaying, looking ahead blankly. He did not urge the old donkey. The old donkey could rest as long as he wanted.

He recalled the panic he felt while sitting on a cart when he escaped from here decades ago. The whip at that time never stopped, hitting the butt of a donkey he threw at him.

He lost his title, he was no longer Cotton Jack, he turned back into the believer Jack who was kicked out of the temple because he always raised questions.

When the oracle deprived him of his divine power, and when the oracle punished him, he understood that he had completely become a piece of meat on the chopping board.

Jack's destination is his hometown, a remote mountain village. He will become the priest of his hometown and is not allowed to leave the village or go to a high-level temple to pray to the God of Craftsmen.

After walking on the cart for more than ten days, I finally saw the village halfway up the mountain.

There are about 10 houses scattered on the mountainside, proving that there are 10 households here, and Jack will be the 11th household here.

The last level 1 priest died of old age in his hut. Next, he will inherit that hut and also inherit the position of priest in this village.

Two children in the village saw an old man with white hair climbing up the mountainside. They quickly returned to the village and called to the adults to greet the new priest.

Soon, all 10 families in the village were kneeling at the entrance of the village to welcome their new priest. No one among these people knew Jack. In fact, Jack was from here. His home was the third wooden house from the west.

A house was inherited by a relative he didn't know, and he didn't want to get it back.

From the busy pirate port to the mountainside village, Jack felt no discomfort in adapting, as if there was no difference between the two places.

Only his messy white hair proves that he turned gray overnight and became as old as he is now.

There is no temple here, not even a blacksmith shop, and no blast furnace. Jack sits on the stone at the entrance of the village, preparing to spend the rest of his life.

Only when he occasionally looked in the direction of Saraguhai, the glint in his eyes, the look that could scare away a few children, could prove that he was once a famous pirate on Saraguhai.

Lowering his head, Cotton Jack thought, wondering if Drake could find a good owner for his inheritance.

Yes, he is still alive, but the inheritance has been handed over.

On the distant sea of ​​Sala, Drake suddenly found Rudolph: "Captain Furnace, you don't have to feel guilty."

Rudolf was a little confused, feeling guilty?

It's inexplicable, why should he feel guilty? He has never felt guilty. This other world does not deserve his guilt.

Drake continued: "At the pirate conference, your joining allowed Pirate King Pauly to reverse the situation. The pirates stood on the opposite side of the Evil God Cult. Now the big pirates have been attacked by the Evil God Cult. Don't you think about this matter?"

Need to feel guilty."

The atmosphere was heightened to this point, and Derek's eyes were so sincere. Rudolph didn't feel guilty at all, but for the sake of Derek comforting him, he should act a little guilty.

"Thank you for your comfort, Derek, it makes me feel better when you say that."

Rudolph didn't feel that he had done anything wrong in promoting the pirate conference to fight against the evil cult. It was Drake's comfort that made Rudolph feel a little guilty. Drake thought of him too well.

"After I was captured by the Treaded Church, Cotton Jack found me in the Treaded Prison. He said that the Heretic Cult didn't even trust him and Milie the Chest. It was only a matter of time before big pirates like us would be attacked by the Evil Cult.

I now understand that it is precisely because we are fighting against the Evil God Cult that the Elba Alchemy Council and the royal family are willing to take in big pirates. However, the Evil God Cult’s plan has never included recruiting pirates.

The pirates were hit, and it’s not the fault of Pirate King Paulie or you.”

Fighting against the Evil God Cult is the resolution of the pirate conference, which proves that among pirates, there are more people who want the northern continent than those who want the southern continent. Rudolph himself is very flexible. If the resolution of the pirate conference is more likely to be against the northern continent,

Then he would not inherit Red Beard's seat. It was precisely because the resolution of the pirate conference was more likely to fight against the evil cult that he came forward.

Drake took out a package and said: "This is Cotton Jack's inheritance. It belongs to us now. I hope this inheritance will be useful to you."

"Heritage? Didn't you say that Cotton Jack was sent to a remote area of ​​the poor parish? Did he know that he would be secretly executed by the church?"

"It would not be possible to execute him secretly. He is a level 6 priest after all." Drake said: "For Cotton Jack, all his divine power was taken away by the oracle. Everything he had as a great pirate was taken away by the church. After all his hard work, he founded

His parish has also become part of the troubled church. Although he can breathe, he is already a dead man, a living dead."

For a man, the death of his career and ideals represents his social death. Cotton Jack is already a dead man, a dead man who cannot resist, a dead man who can only wait to die.

Rudolf opened the package and found nothing inside.

"This is Cotton Jack's sleepy prison. You have to use the power of sleepy faith to open it. Other methods are useless."

Rudolf turned around and shouted: "Cub! Find me the corpse of a trapped priest!"

Drake asked in confusion: "Who is Cooper?"

"Cooper, Cooper is the Green Skull. The Green Skull's real name is Cooper. You can also call him Cooper in the future."

"No, the Green Skull's real name is Laszlo, not Cooper."

"Oh? Really? The Green Skull really has a name. Well, that's not important. You have been around in the ancient sea of ​​Sara for a long time. You are right. The Green Skull's real name may be Laszlo, but now

The Green Skull’s real name is Cooper.”

Drake instantly guessed a possibility: "The real Green Skull is dead? Your friend Cooper took over the Green Skull's identity?"

"Absolutely. I have to say that you can escape from the troubled church and your IQ is quite high."

Soon, Cooper came to the deck with the corpse of a trapped priest.

When Drake looked at the Green Skull again, his mood was different. This Green Skeleton was not the familiar Green Skeleton from Sara Guhai, it had been replaced by someone else.

No wonder, no wonder that after the Green Skull reappeared, his behavior was completely different from before. It turned out that he had changed people. The other pirates thought that the Green Skull had been imprisoned for more than ten years and had mental problems. After his comeback, the Green Skull was very peaceful and terrifying.

None of them look like the original Green Skull.

"Is the corpse of a Level 5 trapped priest enough?"

"That's enough. It's like you have the corpse of a Level 6 trapped priest."

Listening to the two men's banter, Drake immediately caught a possible new situation: "Is Cooper capable of controlling level 6 corpses?"

"If I don't say you are smart, then Cooper has been promoted to level 6 zombie."

Drake shook his head. These two big pirates were so powerful that they were promoted one after another and became level 6 apostles.

With the power of faith from the corpse of the trapped priest, Cotton Jack's trapped prison was successfully activated.

After this piece of cotton came into contact with the power of faith, it suddenly expanded and turned into a round, hollow ball wrapped in cotton.

Jack, who was thousands of kilometers away, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Saraguhai from his messy white hair. Did Drake find him the owner of the inheritance so quickly?
