The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

Ariel nodded and replied seriously:

"Of course. In addition, you can also move through any painting at will with the highest authority. You only need to use your mental power."

"If you are a witch, you can use beacons to establish contact, and then use your mental power to travel through these 27 paintings."

"This is incredible. How did you do it?" Ir exclaimed.

The more I learn about it, the less I dare to imagine that Ariel, a third-level artist, can accomplish this.

She originally thought it was just a nesting doll maze that could be hidden layer by layer. But the current situation was completely unimaginable to her.

"I don't know either. I just know that I entered a miraculous state. I can only attribute this situation to the Queen." Ariel shook his head slightly and said.

She lowered her head, put her hands on her chest to hold the treasure, and praised devoutly:

"Praise the Queen!"

"Praise the Queen!" El also closed his eyes, followed Ariel's voice, and responded to the moon on the third floor.

Then, they slowly opened their eyes. Ariel took his hand and walked into this 'misty place'.

"You can use the Transformation Spell to turn these mists into what you want them to be." Ariel held El's hand and said softly.

Hearing this, El also started to use her magic.

A garden appeared before her, and honey was hard at work in the garden. Butterflies flutter among the streams.

"It's really incredible. I didn't consume any magic power." El looked at his hands in shock.

"This is just a painting. What kind of magic power does it consume? Haha~~" Ariel looked back at El and said.

"Then how to get out?" El asked doubtfully.

Ariel chuckled and said: "Please close your eyes. Turn around and take a bold step forward."

When El took a step forward and opened his eyes, he found that he and Ariel had returned to the third floor of the Night Rose at the same time.

"This~~~ is really unimaginable." El said in surprise.

"There is another premise. That is you have to bring a key to get in and out." Ariel added.

She stretched out her left hand and handed the bronze key to El's hand, and said: "This is the only genuine key and the only item in the painting of the Mist. Now I give it to you. .”

Seeing El taking the key, who was still thinking about the magic just now, she smiled again and said:

"I'll show you the rest of the world in the painting."

"There is no key to the world in these paintings. If the door is open, you can enter and exit at will after finding the entrance and exit. It can also be modified by artists above level three, so it must be protected. Hide it well and don't be discovered."

"But the remaining 26 paintings all hide more or less mazes and puzzles. If you can't solve them, you can't find the real way. You will only get lost in them, and even in some dangerous paintings. Killed. Like the one that represents the hunter."

"You can use the transformation spell to change their appearance, and their functions will not be affected at all. But it also needs certain protection. Even if it turns into stone, it cannot see fire and water. So, it is better not to throw it in the creek."

After listening, El shrugged and said:

"Um~~~ I think so too. Such a high-end item, hidden in such an outdated way. It's really a bit pricey."

Ai Li suddenly chuckled and said:

"Hehe. I'll tell you how to solve these puzzles. Go out and let Alok treat us to afternoon tea."

"Okay. Drink three glasses of clear moonlight." El replied with a smile.

······

At night, Elok entered through the door of Dark Night Rose and immediately saw El in the corner. She was studying something on a painting.

Although there were many people drinking and dating in the store tonight, no one disturbed El.

He walked straight over, hoping to discuss this with El.

The news he got today was a bit mixed.

Some of them also involve El's interests, and may require her help.

When passing by the bar, he tapped the table and asked the bartender for a glass of beer. Then he walked to the opposite side of El.

Looking at the painting in front of her, she thought that this was probably what Ariel had promised her.

Then he opened his mouth and asked directly:

"Have you finished the lab that Ariel did for you?"

Il raised his head and glanced at Alok, then nodded and replied:

"It's quite satisfying, but it also has obvious shortcomings. It's too complicated. I'm afraid I'll have to study it for a long time before I can fully utilize it."

"That's good. You can start preparing for the construction of your laboratory." Alok nodded.

"What did you get out of being out for so long today? You look a little worried." Il asked, observing Elok's expression.

Alok took a sip of beer, shrugged, and replied:

"I'm not worried, it's just that things are still a bit messy. But there is good news."

"What? Tell me." El asked doubtfully.

Elok put his hands on the table, lowered his head slightly, looked at El and said:

"The problem we are most concerned about at this stage has been solved. Those materials will probably be turned into golden coins in the near future."

"Oh? It's indeed good news. How did you do it?" El asked in surprise.

"This is all thanks to my useless second officer. He is an absolute expert in underground transactions and black markets. Of course, he is also an absolute bastard." Alok said in a low voice.

"Roger? He is in Damia now?" Il said in surprise.

"Yes." Alok nodded.

Il seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly asked:

"In other words, the one who came to you last night was Roger's subordinate?"

"No, he is Sebastian, my subordinate. Not Roger's." Alok corrected Il's guess.

"Okay. Sebastian. I remember. Be nicer to him next time." Il said, stroking his chin.

She put aside the painting of the witch's garden in her hand and began to talk to Alok seriously.

"Can Roger dispose of those materials? How much can they be sold for?" Il leaned close to Alok's face and asked softly.

"The lowest price I offer is 30,000 gold coins. Anything more will be Roger's own. But in fact, it's not much more. But because I don't completely trust a pirate, I will give it to him in three batches to prevent him from running away." Alok answered in detail.

"Not bad. We will split it in half at that time." Il raised his eyebrows slightly, quite satisfied with the price.

It can be seen that Alok is quite talented in asking for prices.

That's right, he is good at "peaceful" negotiations.

Seeing this, Alok began to talk about other things:

"Of course. There is another more difficult problem in front of us. This is in exchange for Roger helping us deal with materials and collecting and paying his men."

"I don't know if you have read the newspaper some time ago. The news about Captain Jack. It was once crazy."

"Treason?" Il asked puzzledly.

"No, a little later. The more explosive one." Alok denied.

Il shrugged helplessly and complained:

"Uh~~Okay. I don't pay much attention to current affairs. Experiments are more interesting. Newspapers are so boring. But, what big things have you done??? Aren't you the only one in the Dark Moon Forest? How come I don't know?"

"Okay. Then I can only tell you about the shocking things that 'Captain Jack' has done." Alok also said helplessly.

Then, he told Il about the "Prince Walsh Kidnapping Case" in full, and continued to introduce the current situation of Prince Walsh under Il's shocked eyes.

"Did you do this??? No, it was Roger, that idiot, who did it?" Il widened his eyes and asked in shock.

Alok confirmed: "Yes, it was Roger, that idiot, who did it. What should we do now!"
