The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

When Sebas sat across from him with some doubts, Alok picked up his fork and said while finishing his lunch:

"Do you want a set meal? I'll treat you."

He called Lilith over without waiting for Sebas to answer.

"Uh, okay. One lamb chop and a glass of apple juice. Thank you." Sebas ordered to Lilith a little stiffly.

"I heard that Roger did a big thing on the sea with my name?" Alok asked casually while eating lunch.

Sebas watched Lilith retreat, and after hearing the words, he confirmed that the strange man in front of him was Mr. Alok Phasma.

He shrugged and replied helplessly:

"Uh~~It's a coincidence. Who knew Roger would actually dare to do this."

"He is really brave." Alok said casually. "Tell me what happened."

Sebastian fell into memories, and then said helplessly:

"Well~~Originally we were just doing an ordinary robbery, but who knew that the ship was carrying Prince Walsh, who was secretly heading to the Storm Empire. Roger simply went all out, killed Prince Walsh's bodyguards, and kidnapped Prince Walsh, who had little human protection."

Alok interrupted Sebastian and continued:

"I'm not asking about the situation at that time, but what's the situation now. I saw that the newspapers didn't mention anything about Captain Jack anymore. It was all political flattery."

"Well, now." Sebastian touched his chin and continued: "Prince Walsh is a hot potato. Second Mate Roger has no way to deal with it. And Prince Walsh doesn't want to leave. He just wants to run to the sea as soon as possible."

"Huh???" Alok dropped his fork in surprise.

There are still "hostages" who don't want to leave?

Could it be Stockholm syndrome? ?

Seeing Alok's face full of disbelief, Sebastian also said depressedly:

"That's right. But that's the fact."

"Based on my contact with Prince Walsh during this period, I think he seems to have some problems here." Sebastian pointed his finger at his head and said with a strange expression.

"There is indeed a problem." Alok nodded and confirmed the condition.

"It's like a victim of childhood trauma. Maybe he needs to find a psychiatrist for treatment." Sebastian added.

"Oh, thank you." He took the apple juice Lilith gave him and thanked him.

"You're welcome." Lilith replied with a smile.

Alok shrugged emotionlessly, and then said Sebastian:

"What does that have to do with us? If we need to find someone, it should be the royal family. Now Roger should be anxious about how to exchange him for money."

"Indeed. So, Second Officer Roger is going crazy. He looks mentally ill." Sebastian replied.

Alok shrugged indifferently and continued to talk to Sebastian:

"By the way, is Roger on the ship? I'm going to go look for him later. Come with me."

"He was still in the captain's room when I came down. He should still be there now. It's not certain at night. He might go to the black market to find a solution." Sebastian speculated. "He's often not here at night these two days."

"Black market? Does he know about the black market?" Alok said with some surprise.

But after thinking about it, he felt that this didn't seem to be a rare thing.

So he smiled and continued:

"That's just right, I have something to do with him."

He lowered his head to finish a bite of lunch, picked up the wine glass next to him that Il had not confiscated and took a big sip, and continued:

"Let's talk about you. I wonder how you are doing after upgrading to level 2? Have you studied acting? Or writing? This is the skill of the second-level artist."

Sebas thought for a while, shrugged indifferently, shook his head and said:

"I only like music. But I think studying music alone seems to be able to continuously increase mental power and continuously strengthen the astral body. It doesn't have any effect."

"Oh? Really? It's really novel." Alok was really surprised this time.

Sebas raised his head, recalled his feelings, and said carefully:

"I don't know either. But I think my artistic level is getting better and better, and I like the songs more and more. The deeper I study, the stronger I will become. I can do more and more."

"Maybe, I don't need to study writing and acting to try to upgrade to level 3."

"Oh?"

Alok's eyes widened immediately. Although he didn't know much about the field of artists. But it still feels a bit incredible.

You don't need to make your skills proficient, nor do you need to study hard, you can upgrade by constantly improving your favorite music?

This is really an unheard-of method.

Maybe I don't read enough and am ignorant.

Or is this a talent? ? ?

"What about you, boss? It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you look different?" Sebastian asked in confusion.

"Me? Well~~ Nothing. I went to the Dark Moon Forest. I went to do something. I upgraded by the way. You have to tell Roger that idiot. I will protect you in the future." Alok pointed his thumb at his nose and said fiercely.

"Uh~ Boss, do you mean you are now a mid-level extraordinary person?" Sebastian asked in disbelief.

"Yeah. This is still a way I have been dragging for a long time. I only found it recently to upgrade." Alok said as a matter of course. Then, he bit a pork chop hard and complained viciously:

"You don't know, it feels very uncomfortable to only delve into skill matching after the card level."

"Uh~~~" Sebas was speechless.

Although it is quite fast to level up by yourself, especially when going from level one to level two. But compared with Mr. Phasma, it seems to be a little bit better.

Moreover, it seems that his upgrade was also attributed to the 'Wrath of the Stars of Sodaril'.

This is so Versailles.

Alok didn't see what Sebas was thinking and said again:

"That's right. When I get a chance, I'll help you ask Ariel for the third-level secret spell. When you feel that it's almost done, you can just upgrade it yourself."

"But I advise you to be more cautious at level 4. The level of spiritual power at level 4 is far different from that at lower levels, and is a bit dangerous. If you are not absolutely sure, it is best not to upgrade."

"That's still far away from me." Sebas said helplessly.

"It's not far. We might be there casually." Alok said without caring at all.

Sebas felt powerless again. He shrugged and said nothing.

······

In the afternoon, Alok and Sebas, who were full of wine and food, walked slowly on the streets of Damia.

The snow that fell in the past few days has gradually melted, and the streets are no longer muddy. Only the roof of the building is still telling the story of the past few days.

The winter in Damia is actually not too cold, and generally does not reach freezing point, so the sea is not closed. There are still boats coming and going on the Levitt River.

It's just that the quantity is not the same as in summer.

The reason is that most of the ships heading to the northern part of the Kingdom Alliance and the northern part of the Storm Empire are unable to continue sailing. Only foreign trade with the Free Will Federation is unaffected.

But even so, the dock in Damia was still quite lively. Of course, many boats are illegal.

But the Shipping Administration has always turned a blind eye to this. Because they themselves are involved.

The "Ghost Pirate Ship" driven by Roger is docked at Pier 6 of Damia. A civilian dock in the Garousan District.

Alok saw the white and blue mixed light astral body representing Roger from a distance. There seems to be electricity on it.

It seems that he has become a third-level transcendent for a long time.

Alok was sincerely happy about this.

After all, it is always good to have one more person under your command, as long as he is not taller than yourself, there will be no problem.

He looked at the ship with the light blue striped flag with some excitement, and it felt like he was back home.

It's like a bigger "Ghost Ship".

He stepped onto the deck. At this moment, he opened his arms, changed his clothes, and instantly transformed back into the carefree Captain Jack.

Ignoring the surrounding sailors sunbathing on the deck, he shouted loudly to the figure in the captain's cabin at the back of the ship:

"Haha. My dear Second Mate Roger. You are really my most trusted subordinate. Hahaha~~~"
