The Master of the Strange Realm

Jenkins said. I don’t know if his sincerity impressed the soldiers, or if others thought that something worse could not happen now, an officer with a star on his shoulder actually ran to report and came back after a while. , led the three people to the conference room at the end of this deck, where two familiar faces were waiting for Jenkins.

"Count Hesha and Marquis Michael? They are actually on the ship..."

He thought calmly and nodded to the two men standing in front of the map.

This is a conference room, with notebooks, pens and various letters scattered on the table, and nautical charts and oil paintings of Her Majesty the Queen hanging on the wall. In addition to Count Hesha and Marquis Michael, there were several people whom Jenkins did not recognize. Judging from their attire, they should also be important members of the navy.

"You guys go out first."

Marquis Mihail said to the others, and the people in the conference room filed out, leaving only the three Jenkins and the Marquis.

"What's the situation on the shore now?"

Marquis Michael did not ask about the identities of the three people, nor did he invite them to sit down and talk. He was still standing in front of the chart marked with various red flags, so it was impossible for the three Jenkins to take the initiative to sit down, otherwise they would have to look up at each other.

Chapter 1443 Chapter 1420 The truth about the naval battle

Miss Magic didn't say anything to answer Marquis Michael. She had nothing to do with the ship, and she didn't want to have anything to do with it. Of course Hathaway didn't dare to speak. She had met Marquis Michael and felt inexplicably nervous about Blainey's father. So it was Jenkins who finally spoke. As the only male among the three, he felt that he had this responsibility.

What is the situation on the shore now, probably no one can tell clearly. So Jenkins could only tell the Marquis what he knew from the first cannon shot at the beginning of the celebration.

The Marquis listened very carefully, and occasionally asked questions on his own initiative, but most of the time it was Jenkins who spoke.

"I probably understand. It seems that the development of things is not as simple as we expected..."

After Jenkins finished speaking, the Marquis sighed unconsciously, turned around and marked the chart behind him with a pen, and then looked at the three people again.

Probably because he was born in the military and held a high position, his eyes were very powerful. When the Marquis's eyes glanced at the three of them, all three of them had the illusion that they had been seen through each other.

Of course, it's just an illusion.

"I also know something about the world outside ordinary people. I actually have a good impression of people like you. It is the existence of extraordinary beings outside the influence of the church that allows the church to have something to do instead of focusing on Dealing with worldly powers. I have considered hiring benefactors as personal guards before, but I could never find the right person.

I think that if you came to this ship specially at this time, you should not only be kind enough to provide me with some information. What do you want to do? Please tell me now. For the sake of the information just now, I will provide you with help. "

As he spoke, he took the initiative to go to the conference table, then made an invitation gesture and invited the three of them to sit down.

After a few people sat down, Jenkins saw that his companions still had no intention of talking, so he asked:

"Now Femixiu wants to flood the entire city. Although the three of us are not messengers of justice, we also want to see if we can do something to change everything. Of course, more importantly, I am personally very curious. , what exactly happened today to make things become like this? Before that, I only knew that the navy and the army were cooperating to wipe out the remaining pirate forces on land, and these three ships were the first to dock. The boat is a bait... Since it is a bait, how can someone with your status be on the boat? "

"It turns out that this is the version of the news you know."

Marquis Michael shook his head with a serious face:

"This operation was actually decided before the Battle of the Broken Islands. Therefore, in order to keep it secret, a variety of plans were released at different times to confuse the public. For example, I returned with a great victory but I was seriously injured. For example, I was discovered in the nearby waters during the decisive battle. A small island rich in gold mines. What you heard is a statement that is closer to the truth, but it is not the whole truth. Now that things have developed to the current level, those plans don't matter. I can tell you. , but it’s best not to spread rumors... In fact, the battle on the Broken Islands is not over at all, and the so-called complete victory is just a cover.”

"But how can it be successful? Even if the kingdom can keep this secret, are the pirates helping you keep it secret?"

"Yes, those pirates are also helping us keep secrets because they are willing to surrender to us and accept the adaptation of the Kingdom's navy."

He saw the surprise on the faces of the three people opposite him with satisfaction:

"This is actually not difficult to do. After all, the seven pirate kings are always hostile to each other. The men of Destruction King Femixiu can't stand Fimixiu's madness. The thief Divo died in Nolan not long ago. The Owl Ship At the beginning of the war, Corky of the team was killed by his wife and her lover before they elope. The legendary pirate Old Cork wanted to find a good way out for his grandson who was studying in Belduran. The women of the Female Pirate Gang had already They sold themselves to the royal family. The remaining two are also very old and want to retire and live a peaceful life. They are willing to surrender at this time and have shown that they do not mind being placed on the front line of the war with Chesland. We have no reason. refuse their surrender."

Marquis Michael said this, and Jenkins could hear the complacency deliberately concealed in his tone.

"Then the plan you arranged is to wipe out those pirates who are unwilling to surrender and Femi Xiu's forces on the shore?"

"Except for Femixiu, the other plans were originally like this, but the plan was not implemented in Nolan. What turned into what it is now is because the gang of rubbish from the Kingdom Army insisted on using this matter as bait to lure everyone in Nolan City. All forces are wiped out. They always don’t know that greedy people will not end well. If Nolan is really easy to clean up, then Nolan will not become such a metropolis. "

When talking about the Royal Army, the Marquis spoke with contempt that could not be ignored. The failure of the navy system and the army system to deal with it is also a common problem in all countries. The total amount of the kingdom's military expenditure is limited every year. Everyone wants to feed themselves, so others will starve.

"So what role did Femixiu play in this? Why does he seem to be the biggest winner now?"

Jenkins asked again.

"Actually, the first person who said he might consider surrendering was Femitio."

"Um?"

Jenkins really didn't expect this.

"It was he who took the initiative to contact us before the Battle of the Broken Islands and provided the pirates' action plans and plans to the Royal Navy. Only in this way can we gain a crushing advantage in the early stages of the battle and force other pirate kings to consider surrendering. . Therefore, when planning to wipe out the remaining pirate forces, we gave Fimixiu a certain degree of trust, so he knew part of the real action plan..."

"You actually trusted a madman?"

Jenkins had to interrupt.

"Sir, to be fair, we didn't do anything wrong. Fermitho showed almost all the sincerity he could show. You can accuse us of negligence after the fact, but you can't say that we made inappropriate decisions at the time."

The Marquis said very sharply.

"It's really meaningless to talk about right and wrong now, but didn't you notice something was wrong beforehand?"

Jenkins asked again.

"If you think about it from the current perspective, there is indeed something wrong. For example, when interrogating the prisoners of the pirate resistance forces, someone pointed out that Fermi Xiu has transported a large number of slaves to the land many times in recent months, such as those from Fermi Xiu's fleet. The scale is much smaller than we imagined. One captain said that last year, Femitio sold off the assets of the fleet and the large sum of cash was lost. I think this was probably to prepare for activities such as blood sacrifices. Know that this is an effective way for superhumans to gain power.”

Chapter 1444 Chapter 1421 The Story of Fermitio (Part 1)

"Blood sacrifice? It is indeed possible..."

Jenkins said that he actually wanted to get more information about Femixiu from the Marquis so as to find a way to fight against him. But it seems that his requirements for ordinary people are still too high. Although he understands the whole story, it does not improve the current situation.

He has not forgotten the purpose of everyone coming to the cabin, because Hathaway wants to take her father to a safe place. But after entering the conference room, Hathaway stopped talking. Jenkins wanted to create conditions for her, but could not find a suitable reason to find Earl Hesha.

While he was thinking of a solution, the Marquis spoke again:

"Since you can cross the sea and get to the ship, I think there is naturally a way to get back to the shore."

"Yes, there is indeed a way. What, do you want to come with us?"

Jenkins asked.

"No, I want to live and die with this ship. But there is an important prisoner on the ship now. I don't want him to die here with us, so if you can, please take him with an escort officer. Ashore, I'll pay."

"May I?"

Jenkins turned to ask Miss Magic for her opinion.

"We need to know the identity of that prisoner and the identity of the escorting officer."

she said to the Marquis.

"That's no problem. The escorting officer is Count Hesha, a subordinate I trust quite a lot; the prisoner is Luke Femixiu, Femixiu's eldest son. He has a lot of important information related to the pirates. It was also the time when the pirates surrendered. The middleman, he can't die here... I know what you are thinking. It is useless to use that young man to blackmail Fermitio. The father and son have already broken up, and it is probably not possible to blackmail a madman. It won’t have any effect.”

Little Femixiu is a tall, thin young man wearing glasses. He looks more like a student at school than a sailor who has been plundering at sea all year round. When Earl Hesha took him to see the three of them, he was wearing a pair of handcuffs and looked like he was not awake.

After hearing that Marquis Michael wanted him to go ashore, he just looked at the three strangers hesitantly and never spoke.

"This is a money order from the Fedicli National Bank. They are all anonymous and belong to my private account. Each one is 500 pounds. You can cash it at any branch in the country after you go ashore."

This was a reward for the three people. Jenkins accepted it unceremoniously. In fact, he was thinking about what he should do after landing.

The group of five people quickly returned to the deck. Compared with before, the storm was still fierce, and there were two more tentacles wrapped around the ship. You can't tell the difference from a distance, but standing on the deck and seeing those behemoths makes people feel very uncomfortable.

As ordinary people, Count Hesha and Little Feimixiu couldn't hold on for long under the terrifying yellow sky, so they had to move fast.

The five people jumped from the boat into the sea one after another. After Jenkins made an ice sheet from the somewhat polluted seawater, he pulled the other four people up one after another. After confirming that his cat was still squirming in his breast pocket, he cooperated with Miss Magic and Hathaway to reinforce the "ship". At this time, Jenkins had discovered that the rain falling from the sky was corroding everyone at an extremely slow rate. of clothing.

There is no need to worry about this as they will be ashore soon. But the hull of the ship trapped by the tentacles was already rusty, as if the rust had not been removed for decades.

"These people should be able to survive, right?"

Miss Magic asked uncertainly, but did not hear Count Hesha's voice. When she turned around, she saw that Hathaway had knocked him unconscious.

"what you do?"

"I was stressed out being with him."

Hathaway told the truth and then helped Jenkins prepare to sail the ship.

"If you can let me go after landing, I can give each of you 3,000 pounds in cash. Even for the benefactor, this money is enough for you to live happily for more than ten years."

Seeing that Count Hesha was unconscious, little Feimixiu, who had lowered his head and said nothing, suddenly said that his voice was not very clear in the heavy rain. He chose a suitable figure, which was six times the reward offered by Marquis Michael.

Of course, no one paid him any attention.

"If you can let me go, I can tell you how to defeat my 'father'."

Speaking of the word "father", the tone was full of mockery.

"You know how to beat him?"

Jenkins suddenly turned to look at the young man.

"Yes, when we get ashore, let me leave before waking up this officer, and I will tell you."

Little Feimixiu said, holding back his nausea and looking at the "throne" guarded by the tentacles on the coast from a distance. It's a long way from the shore, and with ordinary people's eyesight, what he can see is actually very blurry. But even so, the mental impact of the strange thing still made him teetering on the edge of coma and wakefulness. He relied on his unforgettable hatred for his father to keep from fainting.

"Let you go? No need to bother, just look here."

Jenkins reached out and pointed to the side of little Femixiu. He subconsciously turned his head and happened to meet Miss Magic's right hand. The woman's hand made a complex gesture. That gesture was so charming, so alluring, so attractive. It was simply more beautiful than the body of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen... .

His eyes gradually lost focus in their sunken sockets.

"Miss Bailing and I are steering the ship forward. If you have anything to ask, please ask."

Miss Magic said as she changed positions with Jenkins, then struggled to stand up amidst the bumps, chanted a spell loudly, and called on the wind to help them move forward.

"What secrets do you know about Femixiu?"

Jenkins asked, looking into Little Femixiu's eyes.

"Lots of secrets."

"What do you know about the Heart of the Ocean?"

"He wanted to fuse the gem a long time ago, but the gem refused him. In order to increase the connection between the gem and himself, he spent a lot of the fleet's money to buy materials, and later cut out his mother's heart... ....Use the outer shell of the heart to hold the gem..."

With just a few seconds left, little Femixiu broke free from Miss Magic's hypnosis. His mood swings were so great at this moment that Jenkins could fully feel the hatred and fear. He couldn't understand what the people in front of him were going through, and could only express some trivial sympathy.

"He succeeded?"

"He can't succeed. His heart never belongs to the ocean. He only thinks about himself, so the ocean won't accept him."

"So what else did he think of?"

Chapter 1445 Chapter 1422 The Story of Fermitio (Part 2)

"Since you can't fuse that heart, then pollute it. In the process, he becomes more and more crazy and less and less human. Only a few people in the fleet know that all the deficits in the fleet's accounts over the years have gone away. Where is it, but no one dares to ask, and those who dare to ask are usually killed in the next robbery.”

Jenkins knew all these things. From the beginning, Fimixiu tried various means to fuse the gift, and then later contaminated the gift and turned it into a monster, and then tried to fuse it. Miss Magic had deduced these things in detail.

"Obviously he succeeded now. The gem and Fermi Xiu have become one. Is this caused by years of pollution?"

Jenkins asked again.

This ship made of ice was bumping on the waves. Except for Miss Magic, who had to remain standing to chant the spell, everyone else felt quite insecure even if they were sitting. Especially sitting on a piece of ice was not a good experience. Jenkins had noticed that Hathaway was blushing and wanted to stand up, but the constant bumps forced her to sit there and not dare to move.

The only advantage of a ship made of ice is that even if it cracks during the rocking, Jenkins can always repair it. Seeing that they were about to pass by the tentacle area, the three of them became nervous.

"Half a year ago, a man I had never seen before found us while we were robbing a merchant ship and bluntly said that he wanted to see him. The stranger is a gifter and is very powerful. The people on our two ships combined I couldn't beat him. The man probably met him later, and he made plans to go to Nolan from then on. After he left, I sneaked into the dark room under his room and saw some secret letters. The strange man from the treehouse offers a way to fuse the gem." (Note)

"Treehouse? As expected, what method did the man provide?"

"I can't understand those occult contents, nor can I remember those terrible rituals and blasphemous incantations. I can only understand the constant reminders from the people who wrote the letters that this method of fusion has great side effects, in addition to the mental impact. Otherwise, once a more suitable owner for that gem comes along and tries to acquire it, the gem will immediately stop serving him."

This is said in the tone of an ordinary person, and according to Jenkins' understanding, when the true owner of the gift appears and touches the heart of the ocean, Fermisho will not be able to use the power of the heart of the ocean.

This is not difficult for Jenkins. When he hit the gem with the scepter at close range, he felt the call of the gift to him, just because he knew that it was a strange thing and that it was in a state of ownership. , just ignored the call.

"But in this situation, where should we find people suitable for the heart of the ocean?"

Hathaway also heard the conversation and asked Jenkins at the top of her voice in the rainstorm. The clothes of several people were soaked and clinging to their bodies was very uncomfortable. Hathaway missed the bathroom at home.

"Don't worry about this. I will think of a way. Fermi Xiu is dead."

Jenkins said as he turned on [Cat's Elegance] and then stood up on the bumpy boat. The tentacles guarding the outermost edge of the Tentacle Throne have discovered the small boat trying to dock.

As soon as Miss Magic raised her right hand to prepare for defense, she saw Jenkins slashing a sword into the sky. The white arc of light broke through the group of tentacles that blocked the sky, and the boat took advantage of this gap to sail to the shore far away from the tentacles.

Because the dock was completely submerged under the water, everyone's small boats were able to stop by the impact. After the ice ship disintegrated, Hathaway dragged Count Helena, Jenkins dragged Femius and his cat, and Miss Magic swam to the coastline with her hands empty.

After landing on the shore, several people felt lucky to survive the disaster. But the rain hitting their faces still reminded everyone that this was not over yet.
