The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

The meeting didn't last too long. The moon rose quickly.

Ramil returned to his hut and saw Il playing with his kingfisher feather pen. Smiling, he opened the door and said:

"A friend gave it to me when I was in Damia. Do you like it?"

"Hmm? Sorry." Il apologized. Then he asked in confusion: "Have you been to Damia?"

"Yes. I went to the Dusk Forest there and served as a priest for a while." Ramil sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Il's face in the light of the night-light grass, and said.

She smiled. She continued, "There's nothing wrong with Damia except that it's always sunny, dry, and there aren't many companions."

She tilted her head and continued, "Did Pastor Andil give you your name? I heard it from Emil."

Il nodded gently and replied, "Yes. Pastor Andil was my former enlightenment teacher. She taught me the witch's spell."

Ramiel showed a look of understanding and said, "So that's it. Pastor Andil is my aunt. She always likes to make fun of things. So she was sent to the remote place of Navest by the goddess."

She smiled again, her voice was light and gentle, and she said, "By the way. The goddess has agreed to your wish to transform into an elf."

"Huh?" Il was suddenly a little surprised.

She was still thinking about how to start this matter, but the reality was that it had already been agreed.

This~~~I haven't said it yet.

Ramir could see Il's surprise and continued to explain: "Otherwise, how did you get into the forest? The goddess and the queen knew about this a long time ago."

"Ah?? I'm still thinking about how I should start." Il said frankly.

"Hehe." Ramir showed a pure smile, stretched out a finger, and continued:

"However, although the queen agreed, the goddess added a condition. The priests of the temple also added a condition."

"Hmm~what?" Il asked puzzledly.

Ramir stood up, walked to Il's side, sat down on another small sofa made of vines, and said: "The goddess's condition is that your brother, Alok, must also perform the elf transformation ceremony. In order to obtain the balance of nature."

"And the condition of the temple is that you are required to pay the material cost of the elf transformation ceremony."

Hearing this condition, Il felt embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Well. The material cost is reasonable. But Alok seems to be a little resistant to becoming an elf."

Ramir obviously heard the embarrassment in Il's words and said: "But this is the goddess's condition. It is really impossible to refuse. You have to think of a way."

"Okay." Il rubbed his eyebrows and replied helplessly. "Wait until Alok arrives here and then see."

"This task can only be given to you. If you want to perform the ceremony, you have to find a way to make Alok agree to become an elf." Ramir said helplessly.

She didn't want to force others, but this was the goddess's instruction. What could she do?

"Okay. I'll think of a way when he comes. By the way, how much is the material cost?" Il asked again.

Ramir showed a slightly embarrassed expression on his face and said, "Well, since it is a very high-level ceremony and the power of the goddess is added, a lot of materials are needed, and these are materials for two people. The amount offered by the temple is 5,000 Starlight Coins."

"Starlight Coins are the highest-level currency used in the Dark Moon Forest. They are made of light blue crystals and look like this." Ramir took out a thumb-sized blue crystal coin from his pocket.

One side of the crystal coin was engraved with a four-pointed star, shining brightly. The other side was a crescent moon.

After handing it to Il, she continued, "If converted into the currency of the Hutt Empire, it would probably be worth more than 10,000 gold coins..."

"What??? Ten thousand?" Il's eyes widened immediately. He looked at Ramir in shock.

Ramir was even more embarrassed, scratched his head, and said, "That's right. This is the price of this ceremony. Uh~~~ the temple gave it."

Il rolled his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and calculated how much ten thousand was.

My bounty, plus Alok's bounty, is not enough. . .

Add to that the materials I have now, the only ones worth money are the crystals and weapons. That's not enough.

However, Alok should be very rich. It seems that he must be brought down.

She frowned instantly, looked at Ramil, and said, "My brother is very rich. When he comes, I will definitely complete the task assigned to me by the organization."

"Well, I wish you good luck." Ramil said with a smile.

"I heard that your brother Alok is about to enter the Dark Moon Forest. Because I am the elf who understands human language the most, I was assigned to greet him. You can move around here for a few days. Even if you want to climb the tree, no one will stop you. Just don't go to the top floor. That's where the queen lives."

Lamil blinked, looking very playful, and then continued:

"You can use my room temporarily, since I'm not here these days. When your brother arrives, I'll find a way to get you two tree houses or stone houses on the roadside. But they may be far from the center. All the nearby ones are occupied."

"Okay. Thank you, Lamil." Ir smiled sweetly, looking very happy.

······

Modo led out two old horses and told Alok that this was their means of transportation.

Alok immediately felt cheated. His ten gold coins were wasted.

The horse's teeth were almost all gone. Should I give it a set of gold teeth?

But Alok still rode this old horse.

He walked to the outskirts of the Dark Moon Forest, which was not far away.

There were occasionally some small woods and oases there, which turned into small towns and markets.

It looked good on the surface, but maybe it was full of spies and murderers.

Alok didn't trust Modo very much, and was afraid that he would take him into a place like the Dragon Gate Inn.

Fortunately, he still had some special abilities, and he often checked the surroundings to avoid falling into traps.

However, there were too many extraordinary people in this place. There was one in every ten people.

And there were all kinds of professions.

Assassins, demons, criminals, and necromancers were sitting in the bar drinking openly.

However, there was really no messenger of light.

Just as Alok was observing the surroundings with relish, a judge sat opposite Alok.

A fourth-level judge was considered a strong man Alok had ever seen.

He did not dare to move, but he was still very calm and was not afraid of fighting.

"Sean Holt. Actually, I should call you Captain Jack." The judge said in a light but soft voice.

At this moment, Alok suddenly perked up and looked coldly at the judge in front of him. Always ready to use skills and take the initiative.

The judge lowered his eyebrows and continued: "It seems that I am right. Don't be nervous. I am not here to get the bounty. I will not shout loudly here. I just come to express my goodwill."

Alok did not speak, but waited for the next step.

He took a sip of the black tea in his hand and continued:

"The pass came from my hand. But I didn't expect it to end up in the hands of the famous Captain Jack."

"Are you from West City?" Alok asked.

"It's Duke Lister's man." He did not confirm, but responded so.

Duke Lister, also known as Duke Chelansi, is the nominal ruler of Chelansi State.

But it is difficult to be caught between the Temple and the Imperial Military.

The Lister Plain is named after this family. He made great contributions in the early days of the Empire.

But unfortunately, the power was gradually eroded by the military, and now the Temple also wants to intervene.

"What do you want to say?" Alok asked casually.

The judge raised his head, looked into Alok's eyes, shook his head and said with some disgust:

"The Temple and the government have always had great deviations in their judgments on things. They are just a group of idiots, a group of tools. Grand Duke Lister has always been disgusted with drugs. When he learned about Captain Jack's deeds, he naturally admired you."

"Oh?" Alok suddenly understood.
