"Do you want to die again?"
"…"
Boundless fear suddenly engulfed Red Hair's heart. He stared blankly at the gun barrel that was so close to him, then lowered his head tremblingly and said nothing.
"If you don't want to die, help me drive the boat."
Edward sheathed his revolver.
Of course, the reason why Red Hair is not killed is not because he is needed, but because he is needed to act as the next navigator - until the next wave of pirates is found.
By the way, Edward also wanted to figure out what was going on with these successive "Fire Fist Ace".
The red-haired man was silent for a moment and then said, "Where are you going?"
"Whatever... take me wherever there are a lot of pirates."
"Uh... due to what you did in Bayam, most of the pirates are now scattered around the Rorsted Archipelago. So which direction should we go?"
"It doesn't matter."
"I see."
At this moment, Edward summoned the messenger Phoenix.
"Who do you need to send a letter to?"
"Danis... that yellow-haired guy. Do you know where he is?"
The first time I encountered someone pretending to be Flame Ace, it might have been just a coincidence, but I encountered him one after another, and one after another, so I knew there must be a problem.
Chapter 389 Danitz's Good Luck
Phoenix nodded, "I know."
"Help me find out where he is and what he's doing, and ask him if he has anything to say to me."
"Okay~"
Phoenix responded, and then said, "The last time I went to see him, he was on an island. As soon as he saw me, he signaled me to leave quickly."
"oh?"
Edward was surprised, "Why didn't you tell me then?"
"…You were in a hurry to ask me to deliver the letter to that woman who likes to teach others."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you this time to help figure it out."
"Okay~"
Phoenix tore through the air and flew into the spirit world.
Edward then transformed a huge blackboard, like an emotionless machine: "Next, I will teach you some precious and secret extraordinary knowledge, which involves some profound secrets and precious potion formulas. Whoever can remember and master this knowledge the fastest, I will give them some rewards."
After he finished speaking, the pirates, who were already confused, became even more confused.
Edward also cared about this and started talking on his own:
"Let's start with the 22 magic potion paths. The so-called magic potion paths originated from the mysterious first blasphemous slate, which recorded the complete 22 paths to becoming a god, starting from Sequence 9 and ending with Sequence 0. The gods we are talking about now are Sequence 0 of a certain path. Later..."
As Edward explained, the pirates went from being confused at first, to gradually being surprised, and finally becoming excited - the mysterious world that was once like a fog was unfolding before them so easily.
The magic potion and path that can gain extraordinary abilities and even become a god, and the God-forsaken land that even the gods cannot set foot on...
Unlike the other excited pirates, Red Hair's face was getting paler and paler, and he was sweating more and more. As a Beyonder, he knew how valuable this knowledge was and how much of a sensation it would cause if it was disclosed to the public. But this Gehrman Sparrow's man actually told a bunch of pirates so easily -
Yes, he had confirmed that this guy, who was completely different from the one in the wanted portrait, was Gehrman Sparrow, because his current behavior was so illogical and insane!
But no matter what, Red Hair believed that no matter how crazy or illogical his actions were, he would never really leak out this valuable knowledge - then there would only be one result waiting for everyone.
However, facing such a madman with terrifying strength, what could a Sequence 8 provocateur do? Provoke the other party to kill him?
In fact, he had just tried it, but after "dying" once, he no longer had the courage to try again.
...
Tiana Island.
It is the last supply port that most ships stop at before arriving at Bayam.
Originally, this was just an uninhabited desert island. However, in order to build a complete supply route, Rune later moved some natives of the Rorsted Islands here and asked them to help build the port. Those natives also settled here from then on.
Until today.
In an underground base of the Poseidon sect deep in the rainforest on the island, Danitz, a man with red hair and a beard, was lying on a chair covered with animal skins, his eyes closed as if he was resting.
He was wearing a piece of clothing in the style of the natives of the Rorsted Islands, revealing his tanned chest muscles, and looked somewhat unruly and dashing. +咸*鱼?看.书/ -Um? Wrong' content,
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing the clothes of a Poseidon priest ran into the room and bowed respectfully, "Bishop Ace, the relevant rituals and items required for the sacrifice are all ready. When should we start setting up?"
Danitz opened his eyes slightly and said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, let me check it out later."
"Yes, sir."
The priest backed away.
Danitz closed his eyes again, as if to keep strangers away.
But in fact, only he himself knows that he is extremely panicked!
Looking back on the experiences during this period, if I had to describe it in one sentence: to be more polite, it would be "like a dream", but to put it simply, it was just a series of bad luck.
Danitz experienced firsthand what it meant to be an undercover agent, and what it felt like to become a boss while undercover.
After being promoted to a conspirator, Danitz felt the inadequacy of his own strength even more, so he left the Golden Dream impatiently to start a new round of acting without even having time to lick Edwina.
After trying several small-scale frauds (conspiracies), Danitz found that this way of acting was too slow and wanted to try another method. At this time, he encountered several members of the Poseidon Cult who were attacked.
After lending a helping hand, the rescued leader of the Poseidon sect wanted to recruit this "righteous man" into their group.
Danitz only then realized that these people were from the Poseidon Cult, which was declared an evil cult by the Church of Storms. He had heard about the practices of this cult a long time ago.
Although they claim to be leading the indigenous people to resist oppression, what they do is extremely barbaric and cruel. Things like human sacrifice are common, and it is a genuine cult.
At that time, Danitz suddenly had an idea. The core of the role of a conspirator is conspiracy. If he could infiltrate this branch of the Sea God Sect, use conspiracy to gain everyone's trust, and then overthrow it in one fell swoop - this would definitely be a perfect role!
So he accepted the invitation of the little leader, hid his strength and joined the Poseidon Sect under the identity of Ace.
Then, his lucky career began.
On the second day after he joined the team, the leader died in battle. Before his death, he entrusted the team to him, and he became the new leader.
Afterwards, the branch was swept by the Storm Church. The bishop of the church was killed on the spot, and most of the other priests and teachers also died. Only Danitz, who had no faith in the Sea God Sect, allowed his team to survive on the grounds of "preserving strength."
Then the Poseidon sect sent a new bishop, who appreciated Danitz's decision in the face of danger, and since he was short of manpower, he promoted him to a priest.
A week later, Danitz performed well in an operation following the new bishop, and was promoted to priest as a confidant, responsible for most of the daily affairs of this branch.
Danitz originally thought that this level of luck was the limit.
Three days later, the branch base was attacked again and the new bishop was killed in the battle.
Danitz once again chose to flee with his followers without hesitation, but on the way he met the Archbishop of the Poseidon Cult who came to support him.
As a result, he made great achievements again.
Afterwards, the Poseidon sect moved its branch to the island of Tiana, and Danitz was directly appointed as the new bishop, responsible for all matters of the branch - in other words, he became the boss of the Poseidon branch.
If he chose to carry out the "subversion" as originally planned at this time, then his "acting" this time would undoubtedly be successful, but the problem is that Danitz has lived for so long - he has never heard of any leader of an organization or sect taking the lead in subverting an organization (sect).
How do you subvert?
Should they just announce the disbandment? Should they report to the Storm Church? Or should they kill all the members?
More importantly, through his contact with the members of the Church of Poseidon during this period, Danitz discovered that although the Poseidon Church was a standard cult, their goal from top to bottom was actually very simple: they wanted to use the belief in Poseidon to unite everyone to resist Loen's oppression, liberate the Rorsted Islands, and seek a better life.
In fact, most of the followers of the Poseidon sect are lower-class natives who have lost hope. Many of them believe in Poseidon with all their might, just to get some food for their wives and children at home.
He truly saw what kind of life the natives led and understood their desire to resist fate, so Danitz softened his heart:
He planned to stay and wait and see, and give these poor people a little help to the best of his ability - at least they would no longer die meaninglessly like before.
Then, he was trapped.
The top leaders of the Poseidon Cult suddenly announced that they would cooperate with the Spirit Cult and use the sacrifices of the believers to obtain the help of the gods to deal with the Loen military and the Storm Church entrenched in the Rhoside Islands.
The person in charge of this task is Bishop Ace, who has gone through many tests!
As soon as he learned of the order, Danitz packed up his belongings and prepared to flee, but he ran into the Archbishop of the Poseidon Cult who came with the Spirit Cult to complete the sacrifice.
At this moment, Danitz finally understood why the Church of Storms had attacked the Church of Poseidon so frequently some time ago - you are all going to sacrifice and summon the evil god, so how could they not try every possible means to kill you?
Although the Archbishop still had full trust in Danitz and left all matters to him, he could not escape. But if he did not escape, he would have to personally send hundreds of believers to the altar to sacrifice their lives, and then summon an unknown and terrifying existence.
Danitz had certainly thought about seeking help from outside: looking for the captain, looking for Edward, and even reporting directly to the Orthodox Church. But all of them failed - although Danitz was trusted by the Archbishop of the Sea God Sect, the Spiritual Church did not trust anyone.
So he had no choice but to give up, and then he came up with a not-so-bad idea on the spur of the moment - in order to prevent the sacrifice plan from being discovered by the Church of the Storm, he let a group of loyal and powerful believers spread out, causing trouble everywhere in the name of German Sparrow or Fire Fist Ace, and distracting the church's attention.
Of course, his real thought was to hope that the church could follow the clues and find him, or to attract the attention of Edward, the German "Benman", and let him come to save his younger brother.
Sadly, nearly two weeks have passed.
The time for the sacrifice was getting closer, and the people sent out were doing well under the name of German Sparrow. There were even rumors that German was preparing to form a fleet to take over as the new pirate general.
Tiana Island, however, remained calm.
The good news is that the people from the Church of the Storm and the Loen Navy seem to have been attracted by the news about Gehrman Sparrow.
The bad news is that the people from the Church of Storms and the Loen Navy seem to have been attracted by the news about Gehrman Sparrow.
Daniz: (ノдノ~~~┻━┻
If I had known that Edward's messenger would come to see me last time, I would have told it about my situation - but there was no sacrifice at that time!
Danitz felt annoyed and pulled and rubbed his dyed red hair.
Da da da!
At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard. It was the archbishop with white hair, an old face, and wearing an old robe: "Bishop Ace."
Danitz stood up quickly and asked, "What's the matter, Your Excellency the Archbishop?"
The Archbishop's face was serious. "Just now, Ralfa of the Spiritual Cult discovered a messenger from the spiritual world who was trying to break in. He suspected that someone was trying to pass on a message!"
