Chapter 96 Smuggling Ship
After the communication with Red Light El Moria, Renekton hastily cleaned up, rearranged the ceremony, communicated with the library deep in the spirit world, and got the book given to him by Red Light El Moria.
Then he ended the ceremony, cleaned up the mess, and lay down on the bed peacefully.
Thinking about the information he got from Red Light El Moria, Renekton didn't expect that the Seven Lights of the Spirit World would be so familiar with Mr. Huang.
He even suspected that Mr. Huang was a giant dragon that survived from the Second Age, a giant dragon from the White Tower Passage, so he was like an old friend of the Seven Lights of the Spirit World.
"The system of the warlocks in the spirit world also has a big problem." Renekton sighed in his heart.
Although he had thought that there would be certain side effects when drawing power from the spirit world, he didn't expect the side effects to erupt after death, almost 100% becoming evil spirits and wronged souls.
When the number of warlocks in the spirit world is sufficient, Renekton has no doubt that wronged souls and evil spirits will become the most common monsters in this world.
Thinking about this information in his mind, Renekton fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day, in order to finish reading the books on spiritual creatures as quickly as possible, Renekton specifically asked Frank and Pasmeow for help.
"I'm a cat! You actually want me to read books!" Pas looked at Renekton with disbelief.
Bugs Bunny was much calmer, and he was leisurely chewing fruit while waiting for his boss to speak.
"Al, even if we help you read books, you can't share the knowledge we see!" Frank also raised a question.
"I will teach you a spell, similar to the knowledge infusion of the hidden sage. You can use this spell to pass the content in your mind to me." Renekton had already prepared for this.
At the end, he added:
"It is equivalent to passing the refined content to me after you finish reading."
This was a spell knowledge that Renekton got when he accidentally saw a part of the mythical creature form of the hidden sage. Renekton made some modifications to this spell and made it a simple version that spiritual warlocks can learn and use.
In order to help him read books, Renekton also pulled Frank and Pas into the system of spiritual warlocks.
Frank felt the magic power added by the ring behind him, and said in disbelief:
"It's amazing, I feel that my magic power has been greatly improved. With the help of this ring, it will be more convenient for me to do experiments in the future."
"Meow! It's a bit strange, but I don't feel anything." Paz meowed.
Renekton was not surprised by the reactions of Frank and Paz. The arbitrator himself had no magic power, so it was not surprising that Paz could not feel the changes in himself.
"Frank, your experiment will be postponed for a while. I will help you do the experiment after I pass the make-up exam." Renekton said to Frank.
"No problem, I can also gain a lot of knowledge about spirit creatures by helping you read books. Maybe I will have the opportunity to do experiments with spirit creatures in the future!"
Speaking of doing experiments with spirit creatures, Frank looked yearning.
"I'll give you special dried fish of various sea fish!"
Renekton turned around and bribed the greedy black cat with the promise of dried fish.
After negotiating the terms with Frank, Paz and the cat, Renekton distributed the books he got from Red Light El Moria.
Two people, two extraordinary animals, began to read books in Frank's laboratory.
The spiritual pollution attached to the spiritual knowledge recorded in the books made the reading process very slow, especially the knowledge that Renekton received through knowledge indoctrination also had spiritual pollution, but it was not as serious.
This high-intensity mental pressure lasted for a week, and Renekton even felt that his mental strength had improved a lot compared to before. Renekton,
who was about to go back to his room to sleep and replenish his spirit, was suddenly inspired, and a brass book emerged from the spiritual world. Renekton
thought that someone from the Earth Church in Madan had written a letter to him. He took the messenger in his hand, and after turning the page, he saw a line of dragon language: Prepare for the exam! Renekton
was stunned for a moment, feeling that Mr. Huang's operation was a bit outrageous, but it seemed quite reasonable after thinking about it carefully.
However, Renekton was probably sure of the origin of this brass book. It was definitely a book that the God of Knowledge took from his kingdom and threw down when he summoned a messenger.
Renekton had no choice but to run back to his room, pick up a feather pen and start the make-up exam.
Because of the books given by Red Light El Moria, he passed the make-up exam this time.
Mr. Huang thoughtfully left the next exam time: two months later!
Then he went offline. Renekton fiddled with the brass book in his hand for a while, and after confirming that there was no other information, he threw it away, and the book that served as a messenger returned to the spirit world by itself.
Life on the sea is dull and boring. Although the Future is a pirate ship, Renekton has not encountered any business during this time on board.
Basically, he drifts on the sea for a while, then goes to a port to replenish supplies, and then leaves quickly.
Renekton is a little curious about the source of income for the Star Pirates. The Golden Dream at least has the main business of finding treasure, while the Future is really drifting on the sea. "Everyone, get ready. Target: The Sea of White Whale."
Cattleya's voice was transmitted to everyone through the Future.
"Wow, should I take out a bottle of Prophet and drink it?" Renekton sighed.
Renekton felt that the speed of the Future was increasing, and the items in his room were shifted because of the sudden increase in the speed of the sailing.
After stabilizing his body and adapting to the sudden increase in the speed of the Future, Renekton left and went out to meet up with others on the deck.
When he came to the deck, Renekton quickly found Bugs Bunny and Pas who were with Frank, and walked up quickly.
"Frank, what's the situation now? Why are you suddenly heading to the Sea of White Whale?" Renekton asked curiously.
"I don't know much either. It should be that the captain discovered the smuggling ship hidden in the Sea of White Whale." Frank said uncertainly.
"Smuggling ship?" Renekton was stunned.
It sounds like Cattleya is preparing to lead the Star Pirates to rob smuggling ships, which is a bit like black eating black. You know, the ships that dare to smuggle on the sea are more or less related to the pirates.
"Which smuggling ship are we going to rob?" Renekton asked excitedly.
After being a pirate on the Future for so long, he was either studying or taking exams. Finally, he could do what a pirate should do.
"The smuggling ship from East Balam usually disguises itself as Admiral Blood's fleet and travels between the South Continent, the Rorsted Islands, and the Gargas Islands to transport smuggled goods."
Unexpectedly, Cattleya explained the situation to Renekton.
Then she told Frank:
"Frank, there is a high probability of a battle later. Take care of Al. He has no experience in naval battles."
"Don't worry, Captain!" Frank patted his chest to make a promise.
Cattleya nodded, returned to her captain's room, and commanded the voyage of the Future.
Renekton didn't expect Cattleya to specifically ask Frank to take care of him. He wanted to thank her, but Cattleya turned around and left here, so he had to give up.
"Frank, how long will it take for us to encounter the smuggling ship?" Renekton brought the topic back to the smuggling ship.
"Since the captain has issued a notice, it is very likely that we will encounter the other side within half an hour to an hour. If a battle occurs at that time, don't rush too far ahead. Just follow me with Pers and Bugs Bunny." Frank reminded.
Renekton nodded and did not reject Frank's kindness. In terms of fighting, I am not very good at it now, especially at sea.
Renekton leaned against the side of the ship with Bugs Bunny and Pers, staring at the sea in front.
The Future sailed forward for about thirty or forty minutes, and two black spots appeared on the sea in front. Renekton squinted his eyes for a long time, but he could not see anything except that his eyes were a little painful due to the sea breeze.
"When I have time, I will create a spell similar to a telescope and cast it directly on my glasses." Renekton put the development of the next spell on the agenda in his mind.
"Hold on!" Cattleya's voice spread throughout the Future.
"Hurry, grab the railing beside you." Frank immediately reminded him.
Renekton had some guesses and immediately grabbed the side of the ship he was leaning on. Bugs Bunny and Paz each hugged one of Renekton's trouser legs.
Renekton wanted to complain that his trouser legs would be torn by them sooner or later.
The next moment, the hull of the Future was covered with a layer of starlight. The speed of sailing was several times faster, and Renekton felt that the Future was no longer sailing in the sea, but more like flying in the sky.
The strong wind whistled past, and was mostly blocked by the starlight on the Future, but the remaining wind blew on the face, still feeling a little painful.
This high-speed sailing lasted for about five or six minutes, and the starlight on the Future dissipated, and the normal sailing speed was restored. At this time, the Future had come near the two smuggling ships.
"Prepare the guns!" Cattleya's voice came from the captain's room and rang throughout the Future.
Under the operation of the gunner, the guns on the Future quickly adjusted their directions, aimed at the two smuggling ships in front, and then fired.
"Boom~Boom!"
The artillery fired at the smuggling ship ahead, but the shells were blocked before they could get close.
The shadow on one ship twisted and condensed into an illusory but solid black shackle that blocked all the shells and exploded in mid-air. The shells that hit another ship strangely stopped in the air and then fell into the sea. Chapter 97 Battle
Renekton narrowed his eyes slightly, and the pupils under his glasses were filled with a layer of lavender light. Under the gaze of the Eye of Secrets, there were many natural spirits hovering in the places where the shells stopped strangely.
"Vampires and psychics? Aren't they the way of the Bound?" Renekton stared at the smuggling ship in front and pondered.
The smuggling ship in front also found that it had been locked by the Future of the Star Admiral and could not escape at all. It had to maintain the distance between the ships while firing cannons.
When the shells of the enemy's artillery approached the Future, they were blocked by a layer of starlight.
After the artillery bombardment of both sides continued for a while, the Future was not affected too much, but the enemy's ship was already damaged.
"Get ready, boarding battle." Cattleya's voice sounded.
Renekton saw that there seemed to be strange plants growing and spreading on a ship on the opposite side.
"Hey! Nina has sneaked into the other ship, you have to keep up." The voice of the navigator Ottolov came.
A bridge of starlight was grafted between the two ships. Second Officer "Bloodless" Heath Doyle took the lead in leading the pirates on the Future to attack the ship that Nina had infiltrated.
"Follow me closely!" Frank turned around and told Renekton.
At this time, the other smuggling ship increased the intensity of the attack, firing one cannon after another. There were some natural spirits hidden in these cannons, ready to hide in the cannons and rush to the Future.
Renekton turned his head and took a look. Cattleya, who was maintaining the starlight bridge, seemed unable to continue to maintain the previous starlight barrier to block the cannons.
Renekton reached into his coat pocket and pinched the demon badge inside.
Three light blue fireballs with a strong smell of sulfur were fired from Renekton's side. They directly hit the cannon in the air and caused an explosion. The flames of the explosion had a poisoning effect, which also affected the natural spirits mixed in it.
Renekton raised his right hand, a pale blue flame ignited in his palm, and used the flame cage to block several approaching shells in the air.
"Is this the power of the devil?"
Frank, who had not yet walked far, saw this scene and asked in surprise.
Several silver-white electric lights flashed across, and all the remaining shells were destroyed. Renekton shrugged, knowing that he had just underestimated a pirate general.
"Do you need to go over and deal with the people on that ship?"
Renekton asked Cattleya, who was standing steadily in front of the captain's room.
"Are you sure?" Cattleya asked back.
Renekton said without hesitation:
"If there is only one psychic, there is no problem."
"Frank, you and Al go together." Cattleya did not hesitate.
"Okay, Captain!"
Frank responded and walked back to Renekton.
Renekton did not wait for Frank to speak, and directly scattered a handful of silver dust, allowing himself and Frank to float up and fly slowly. Seeing this, Bugs Bunny and Paz on the side pounced on the two and took off together.
In mid-air, Renekton sprinkled the iron-black material again, and used his invisible giant hand to push the two people forward quickly.
The natural spirits and ghosts hovering in the air discovered Frank and Renekton in the air, and pounced on them under the control of the psychic.
Renekton took out a small dried fish specially made by Frank from his pocket, infused it with spirituality, and then smeared it with black dust. The dried fish that briefly appeared alive was wrapped in black air, which had a strong attraction to the undead.
Renekton casually threw the dried fish into the sea, and the natural spirits and ghosts immediately changed their targets and chased after the falling dried fish.
"Meow! My dried fish!"
Pas, who was lying on Frank's neck, screamed.
"That's what Frank prepared for you, the kind of dried fish that can come alive and jump into your mouth." Renekton explained.
Paz's expression changed instantly, and he even said:
"Are there any more? Throw them all away. Those things are not dried fish at all. Dried fish will not come alive!"
"Why? Isn't it good to have dried fish that can come alive and jump into your mouth? Didn't you complain to me before that it was troublesome to eat dried fish one bite at a time?"
Frank never figured out why he listened to Paz's advice to improve the dried fish, but the other party was very disgusted.
Renekton wanted to complain about Frank, but the artillery on the opposite ship was bombarding him, so he had to concentrate and control the invisible giant hand to push himself and Frank to the side.
When the opponent's artillery was preparing for the second round of attack, crystal clear streams of light fell from the air behind Renekton and landed on the deck in front. Soon, ice spikes were hung on the side of the smuggling ship.
"Is Cattleya's casting range so far?" Renekton was secretly surprised in his heart.
Then he took the opportunity to control the invisible giant hand and brought himself and Frank to the ship. Several black, illusory flames suddenly exploded in front of them, quickly surrounding Renekton and Frank.
Renekton's eyes quickly lingered with blue-white light, and a somewhat incomplete circle appeared behind him. In the middle of the circle, a pattern of opening pages was outlined by several twisted lines, as if it was turning a physical page.
"Guard" he whispered a word in the dragon language, and both hands sprinkled silver and iron-black dust at the same time, which quickly expanded, rotated, and twisted in the air, forming a silver-black barrier like fine sand around himself and Frank.
Then there was a dense sound of gunfire, and many bullets hit the silver-black barrier, making a harsh metal friction sound.
The strange thing was that the black flames did not really burn over, but instead stuck to the silver-black barrier built by Renekton. It even melted some of the bullets shot from behind.
"Another world version of hitting my teammates?" Renekton was a little confused about the operation of these black flames.
"Don't fight back yet. This barrier will also work on those of us inside. I will remove this barrier when the other side changes the magazine, and then we can take action."
Renekton stopped Frank who wanted to fight back.
"Ah? Then your barrier is equivalent to a live target?"
Frank asked in confusion.
Renekton was embarrassed for a moment, and then explained:
"My level is limited. I can only set the effect of the barrier to this extent to maximize the defense effect. My idea at the time was that if it really doesn't work, I can throw it on the enemy to restrict his actions."
"Haha! Really? Al, your idea is really good. It's a pity that you are not a Beyonder of the Cultivator Path, otherwise we must have a lot of topics to talk about!"
Frank didn't think that the development of this spell was a problem with Renekton's level. Instead, he thought this idea was very good.
Renekton didn't respond. After the storm of bullets from the opposite side weakened a lot, he sprinkled a handful of transparent powder. A strong wind came out of nowhere, sweeping the silver-black barrier like fine sand, turning into a storm that swept around.
Renekton bent down and picked up Bugs Bunny, who was clinging to his trouser leg, and then said to Frank, "Close your eyes."
Bugs Bunny understood instantly, and stretched out his little paw to touch the tall hat on his head. His pupils dilated, and a light suddenly burst out in front of him, making the surroundings white.
In an instant, Renekton heard several screams, including the voice of Frank next to him.
"Meow!" A majestic cat cry resounded throughout the deck.
Just after the dazzling white light passed, a layer of mist filled in front of Renekton, and then a gust of wind blew, blowing the mist to the positions where the shooting was previously fired.
Renekton opened his eyes and saw this scene, and was slightly surprised. He praised Bugs Bunny, "Well done!"
He took Bugs Bunny in his arms to a side and put him down. Renekton took out the demon badge and put it on his chest.
"Degenerate" said a demon language word full of filthy and decadent meanings.
The area in front of him, which was covered by fog, showed a tendency to turn into an abyss. Many screams were heard in the fog.
Frank, who had not yet recovered from the flash created by Bugs Bunny, threw a handful of unknown seeds in the direction of the screams. These seeds grew and mutated rapidly in the air, and the dark red thorns attacked the surrounding creatures crazily.
The blue-white light in Renekton's eyes dissipated, replaced by a purple fluorescence with a mysterious charm. Renekton used the Eye of Secrets to constantly scan the deck, trying to find the Beyonder hidden in the crowd.
The howling wind blew again, blowing away all the fog on the deck. The breath of the dead suddenly spread everywhere, fighting against the filthy and corrupt breath brought by the filthy words just now.
The vines that Frank threw out were quickly burned by the black flames, and at the same time, a layer of frost quietly spread in front of Frank.
A large group of undeads came out from somewhere on the ship and began to attack Renekton and Frank.
Renekton reached out and sprinkled the gray-black sunflower powder. After burning in midair, it emitted a fierce but not irritating golden light. This light flowed around like water. When the surrounding undead came into contact with the golden light, their "bodies" began to emit green smoke, and finally evaporated and disappeared.
The undead besieging Frank could not get close to him at all. Frank's hair and beard, as if alive, directly attacked the undead. With a deadly poison that frightened the undead, these undead would emit black smoke whenever they were touched.
"Slow" and "Degenerate", two consecutive filthy words.
The movements of the surrounding undead stiffened for a moment, and then a layer of slightly sticky black liquid covered their bodies, and then exploded and shattered and turned into a corrupt black mist.
"Wow~ These ghosts are so weak!" Bugs Bunny, who was watching this scene from the side, sighed.
Renekton was also a little confused. Although there were many undead, their quality was very low, as if they were pulled out to make up the numbers.
The sudden warning from his spiritual intuition, Renekton quickly retreated two steps, and several black flames exploded where Renekton had been standing before.
A sailor's knife made of bones suddenly rushed out from the gathering of undead behind him and pierced Renekton's heart, Chapter 98 Goodbye, Thea
When the intuitive warning exploded in his heart, the sailor knife made of bones was close to Renekton's back.
Despair and regret rushed into Renekton's mind in an instant.
"Squeak~" The sailor knife made of bones was blocked by a layer of frost that suddenly spread, and the frost continued to spread backwards with the sailor knife.
Renekton was stunned for a moment, then took a step forward and turned around. With both hands holding and chopping, an exaggerated giant sword composed of red magma and light blue flames appeared in Renekton's hands and chopped down swiftly.
Behind Renekton, a bald man holding a sailor knife made of bones had a look of madness and astonishment in his eyes. Before he could understand what was going on, he was already chopped by the magma sword.
Renekton withdrew his hand and swung the magma sword horizontally again, chopping the undead behind him and the body of the bald man into two pieces.
"Thea! What are you doing!" A resentful voice sounded among the undead.
"Of course I think this guy is more handsome. It would be a pity to let him die like this, so it's better to let the bald guy die!"
A casual and charming voice came from behind Frank.
The undead that concealed her figure were instantly burned to ashes by the black flames, leaving no trace of ashes.
Frank quickly withdrew away from the area, staring at the red-haired woman who suddenly appeared behind him with vigilance. Several seeds fell from him silently.
"Big red-haired" Bugs Bunny was kicked out by Renekton before he finished speaking.
These guys used the undead to cover up their own figures and breath, which was something Renekton had never thought of before, but now the psychic hidden in the dark was finally exposed.
"Degenerate" A demon language word full of filthy and corrupted meaning sounded.
The area around the location where the resentful voice sounded before showed a tendency to become an abyss. The surface of the undead was covered with a layer of slightly sticky black liquid, which exploded and shattered and turned into corrupted black mist.
"He has moved to a new place to hide, my stupid boy!"
Thea, with her flamboyant red hair, teased.
Renekton did not respond. The Eye of Secrets looked around the entire place. The large amount of undead aura covered up too many traces, and Renekton could not find the hiding place of the psychic.
"Be careful!" Renekton reminded him.
Then, countless wailing sounds seemed to be heard in the floating ring behind him, and the light blue flame with a strong smell of sulfur slid down Renekton's hands like liquid.
Renekton half-crouched and pressed his hands on the ground. The light blue flame suddenly spread outward, and the color of the flame also changed from light blue to blue-green. There was a foul smell mixed with the strong smell of sulfur.
The flame quickly covered the entire deck, and then suddenly surged, covering the undead floating in the air. The flame bloomed with a green light on the undead. After the flames burst out, they immediately fell and dissipated.
With the help of the ring behind him, Renekton used three fire spells mastered by demons at the same time: poisonous flame manipulation, toxic steam and volcanic eruption.
After the explosion, 90% of the undead on the deck were taken away, but the price was that Renekton's own spiritual power was almost exhausted.
Bugs Bunny, Pass and Frank were covered with a layer of ice crystals at the moment of the flames, protecting them.
"You kid, you are still as reckless and impulsive as ever! If I wasn't here, would you eat roasted rabbit or roasted black cat!"
After the flames dissipated, Thea said with some helplessness.
"Hehe! Isn't it because you, Sister Thea, are here that I dare to do this!"
Renekton touched his head and showed an innocent expression.
The ring behind him no longer had extra spiritual support, and it turned into a little light and dissipated.
"Stop laughing. Didn't you notice that you only burned a bunch of small fish with this fire?"
Thea walked on the deck and then explained:
"It's not very difficult to rely on undead creatures to walk through walls. Unless you burn the whole ship, it won't affect him."
"Well, what should we do now?"
Renekton was a little helpless. The psychic he met on the ferry before did not show the ability to walk through walls, which led to a misjudgment.
"Wait, he will run back by himself." Thea said with a firm voice.
The deck, which was baptized by fire, made a creaking sound under Thea's footsteps, and every step left a pile of debris. Some undead and crew members who were lucky enough not to be hurt were covered with a dark flame by Thea one by one.
"Ah!"
A figure with scratches all over his body and bloodstains stumbled out of the cabin.
"When did you poison me!" The embarrassed figure only said this.
Countless bones emerged from the kettle on his waist and quickly merged with him. A huge image of a skeleton general holding a knife was formed.
Several black, illusory flames attached to the bones and merged into the body of this huge skeleton general.
"Ah~" The whispers and screams of the dead exploded in Renekton's ears.
The screams of the huge skeleton general in front of him actually carried some of the effects of the Word of the Dead. Renekton felt that his soul was trembling.
Frank on the other side also covered his ears, and the hair on his body was crawling up and down, as if he was strongly stimulated.
Bugs Bunny and Pass, the two little animals, covered their ears and rolled on the ground in pain.
Only Thea, as if unaffected, walked forward slowly, leaned back, and opened her arms, as if embracing the sun. A magnificent and pure blazing beam of light descended from the sky, covering the huge skeleton general.
The dazzling light made Renekton subconsciously close his eyes. The screams of the huge skeleton general in his ears seemed to be melted and weakened, and even the effect of the Word of the Dead could not be maintained.
The effect of the Holy Light did not last long, but in the next moment after the Holy Light ended, golden illusory flames ignited out of thin air, and these flames exuded the majestic and pervasive breath of the sun.
Renekton felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the dense flames of light. This strong breath of the sun made Renekton feel very uncomfortable even with the demon badge on his body.
After the fire of light burned, the huge skeleton general turned directly into ashes, leaving only a human-shaped charcoal with a faint breath.
"So tenacious vitality?" Renekton was a little surprised.
This psychic who turned into an undead creature did not die after experiencing the baptism of the Holy Light and the Fire of Light, although he was not far from death in his current state.
"As an extraordinary person, you will always find some means to save your life. You are not a storm barbarian. Don't be too reckless in your style of doing things!"
Xia explained, and also educated Renekton.
"Use the power of the devil to kill him!"
Xia turned away from the side filled with the smell of burning.
"Ah? Why?" Renekton was a little confused.
"Cover up this strong smell of the sun."
Thea had already walked to the edge of the ship, breathing in the fresh air.
Renekton was a little confused. Thea could do it herself, so why did she do it herself, but he didn't ask much.
"Death" sounded with a filthy and corrupt voice.
The charcoal lying on the ground with only a weak breath left, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, stained with mottled red rust, and burning with a flame that smelled of sulfur.
The charcoal turned into a charred corpse, and the strong smell of sulfur washed away the remaining smell of the sun on him.
After getting rid of this unknown psychic, Renekton also came to the side of the ship to get some fresh air.
Renekton's previous demonic spell filled the entire deck with a strong smell of sulfur and burnt air. Although it was purified a little by Thea's holy light, it was only limited to the body of the psychic.
"What was that ring behind you just now? It seems to have enhanced your spell ability, but it doesn't look like a magical item or a special spell." Xia asked curiously.
"A new system mastered by the church!" Renekton didn't say much.
The battle on the other smuggling ship seemed to be over. Cattleya turned into bright stars and soon appeared beside Renekton and Frank.
"Demon's fire spells, and traces of spells in the sun domain!"
Cattleya glanced around the environment on the deck, and then her eyes fell on Xia.
Xia looked at Cattleya with the same momentum. Renekton, who was standing aside, felt that there were sparks blooming between their eyes.
"Frank, do you think the two of them will fight?"
Renekton retreated to Frank's side and asked in a low voice.
"No!" Cattleya said in a very cold voice.
"Hey, little..."
"My name is Al Tynes, and I'm currently a member of the Future!"
Renekton immediately interrupted Thea's words that revealed her real name.
"Really? Little Al, you didn't even do the most basic disguise of your appearance, and you ran to the sea to be a pirate. Are you sure your parents won't know?"
Thea quickly changed her name and spoke again.
"Well, I want to, but I don't know how to put on makeup, and I don't have any magical items that can do this. Anyway, I don't have a bounty order, so it's not a big problem." Renekton said half-explaining and half-comforting himself. Chapter 99 Parting and Gains
"Witch?" Cattleya frowned and said this to Xia.
Xia lifted her red hair and did not answer Cattleya's question. Instead, she said:
"Your mission is only to take the things on the ship. You can take all the goods on the two smuggling ships, but you have to leave this ship and a few people on it. I still have to go back to East Balam."
Cattleya quietly looked at the flamboyant red-haired lady in front of her. After a long silence, she slowly nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that Xia and his current captain reached an agreement and did not fight, Renekton breathed a sigh of relief.
"I wanted to take this opportunity to join Senio's pirate group to facilitate subsequent operations, but I didn't expect it to be ruined at the beginning!"
Xia looked at Renekton with a resentful expression.
Renekton turned his head away awkwardly, not daring to look directly at her, and changed the subject:
"Sister Xia, what are your plans for the future?"
"Change the target, go to the southern continent, but there is a high probability that there will be no gain, just treat it as a public-funded tour."
Xia said without much concern.
"Public-funded tour!" Renekton felt that Xia had the attitude of a passive worker on Earth.
"Aren't you the same? Don't tell me that you really carried out the mission seriously."
Xia glanced at Renekton, making Renekton feel like he was seen through by an insightful person.
"Have you become a mystic instructor?"
This was Renekton's guess when he saw Xia imitating the two solar domain spells. That level of imitation was definitely not something that a scholar could do.
"Guess?"
Xia gave a look that said you should understand it yourself, turned around and walked to the bow of the ship, staring at the sea in a daze.
"Get ready, transfer the cargo on the two ships, and then leave this sea area."
Cattleya's voice was transmitted to the ears of all the crew members.
The crew of the Future quickly used the Starlight Bridge built by Cattleya to bring the two smuggling ships closer and transfer the goods.
Renekton took advantage of this time to communicate with Thea, and told Thea the summoning spell of his messenger and the visualization circle of the spirit world warlock.
After the crew of the Future finished transferring the goods, Renekton followed them and stepped onto the Starlight Bridge back to the Future.
"Remember, you are not the group of storm barbarians next door. When fighting, you must use your brain instead of rushing forward recklessly."
Thea reminded again behind him.
"Got it!" Renekton waved his hand and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Renekton could already foresee that today's battle would become a black history of his life in front of Thea.
"Alas! I was still too careless!"
"If it was a battle on the ground, Frank should be able to resolve the battle quickly, but on the ship his performance was greatly limited. I didn't think of this in advance, and I trusted Frank's Sequence Six strength too much, which was also a problem."
Renekton sighed in his heart about today's battle.
Recalling this first truly evenly matched battle, Renekton knew that if Thea had not happened to be on this ship, he would have already turned into a special feature and been recovered by the Hidden Sage.
After returning to the Future, Cattleya ordered a change of course and set off for Intis. Thea took the remaining smuggling ship to East Balam.
After a fruitful victory, the crew of the Future held a carnival party again.
Renekton still sat on the side of the ship with Bugs Bunny and Pers, two extraordinary animals, blowing the sea breeze, holding Bugs Bunny's fruit in one hand and Pers's dried fish in the other.
Cattleya walked up with a glass of red wine:
"Why are you sitting here alone?"
"Huh? Captain! I'm thinking back to today's battle. I found that my judgment and actions at that time were very problematic. If there weren't people I knew on that ship, I would have turned into a group of extraordinary features."
Renekton said in a not very high mood.
"What you lack is combat experience. Once you have experienced a few more battles, you will not behave like you did today."
Cattleya comforted Renekton, and then said:
"I am also responsible for today's situation. I did a divination at that time, and the result was that there would not be any big problems, so I agreed to your and Frank's actions."
"Can the divination be completed in such a short time?"
Renekton asked curiously.
"Experience." Cattleya only said two words.
Renekton nodded without comment. Today's battle from beginning to end showed one thing: his experience was quite insufficient, whether it was preparation before the battle or response during the battle.
"Captain, today's battle was so sudden, was it the mission of the Moss Ascetic Order?"
Renekton asked directly, he thought Cattleya would tell him. "That's right. You should have obtained intelligence on the sea from the Church of Knowledge before you went out to sea. Although I don't know what your mission is, it should have nothing to do with the Future."
Cattleya answered Renekton's question without hesitation, which made Renekton feel that the other party was here to confront him.
"It really has nothing to do with the Future. My main purpose on the Future is to find Frank and digest the potion. As for the mission, I never thought about doing it. Maybe the mission will be completed by itself at some point."
Renekton looked like he had already given up.
"Why?" Cattleya was surprised by Renekton's attitude.
She didn't know much about the Church of Knowledge. She only knew that the Church of Knowledge was different from the other major churches. It was an academic-oriented organization, more like a school than a church.
The two people from the Church of Knowledge who met now, no matter their behavior or principles, did not look like people from the Orthodox Church at all. The former was traveling at public expense, and there was another one on his ship waiting for the mission to be completed by himself.
"The mission target involves several forces. Maybe they will mess it up while arguing with each other!"
Renekton said as he took a bite of the dried fish of Pas.
Renekton really thought so in his heart. Although the original moon was the evil god's vest, the mother tree of desire was competing with the fallen mother god. Maybe when they were fighting for this vest, they were backstabbed by Lilith.
Although she didn't quite understand why Renekton was so lazy about the task, Cattleya nodded in agreement. Then she took out a small iron box, opened it and handed it to Renekton.
"Hmm? Extraordinary characteristics?"
Renekton hesitated for a moment, looking at Cattleya with some doubts.
"The two extraordinary people you killed on the smuggling ship today, your sister Xia didn't want them, saying that you killed them, so they belong to you." Cattleya explained.
Renekton reached out to take the small iron box, a gray-white light ball like a slowly beating heart, and a dark color like a white skeleton emitting a little green fluorescence.
"Psychic and prisoner?"
Renekton quickly determined the paths and sequences of the two groups' characteristics. After pondering for a while, he asked:
"Captain, do you know any small animals that are suitable for the Death Path? I have too many psychic characteristics."
After encountering several Beyonders in the Death Path, Renekton had some ideas about the ability to manipulate the dead and wanted to train one of his own.
"Why small animals?"
Cattleya didn't understand Renekton's thinking.
"It's simpler, and there's not so much thought. Many times I think they are more reliable than people."
Renekton said what he thought.
Although Cattleya didn't understand, she still gave an answer:
"The creatures that best fit the Death Path are naturally feathered serpents and phoenixes. There is basically no big difference between other animals."
Feathered serpents and phoenixes, whether you can find such creatures is one thing, and even if you find them, you may not be able to defeat them. Renekton was silent for a while.
"Captain, do you know how there are so many undead on that ship? Even in the cemetery, there is no way to produce so many undead!" Renekton changed the subject.
"It's a magical item. It has a small underworld similar to the one in the janitor's body, but it has been broken. The small underworld has also returned to the real underworld."
Cattleya quickly explained.
Renekton nodded thoughtfully. He found that the abilities of the magical items he made were actually quite practical. Although they could not be as effective as the seals for a long time, they also did not have the same terrible negative effects as the seals.
"There is also a sailor knife made of bones. The breath of the dead is a bit strong. It is not suitable for use. It needs to be remade." Cattleya continued.
Renekton remembered this sailor knife made of bones very clearly. The bald prisoner almost cut himself with this sailor knife.
"The Future will go to Intis in the next period of time."
Cattleya said the future direction of the Future and turned to leave.
Renekton didn't care too much. For him, it was the same wherever he stayed. Renekton's next arrangement was to popularize knowledge to the pirates on the Future so that they could digest his Keeper of Knowledge potion.
"Well, if I have time, I have to go to Mr. Huang to find some books to read. I'm already a Sequence 7 Beyonder, but I'm always worried about exams!" Renekton sighed in his heart.
"Al, do you know what potion I need to take next? Meow~" Pas, who was eating dried fish on the side, suddenly asked.
"Huh? You want to be promoted?"
Renekton was a little confused, but he still told the black cat the information he knew:
"The next sequence you need to be promoted to is called Sheriff. The main ingredients of the potion are a pair of eyes of the fear insect and the right paw of the silver-white war bear. I only know the main ingredients, and I don't know the specific formula of the potion."
"Insect eyes! And bear paws! These ingredients are so strange, meow~!" Pas said, shaking his little head in confusion.Chapter 100 "The Arsonist"
Al leaned on the side of the Future, admiring the sunset on the sea.
After more than five months at sea, Rekton was already a Sequence 6 Scholar. After becoming a Scholar, his extraordinary abilities were qualitatively improved.
The original extraordinary ability of seeing through the fog evolved into "analysis", which can "analyze" the extraordinary abilities used by the opponent with the prior knowledge.
He also gained "imitation": there is a chance to imitate the ability of analysis to a certain extent. The stronger the opponent, the higher the possibility of failure. Of course, even if it succeeds, it will definitely be very different from the original. However, with the blessing of the spirit world warlock, this gap will not be too big.
The abilities belonging to the previous sequence have also been greatly improved.
At the same time, as a scroll professor, Rekton can make scrolls of the extraordinary abilities that he has fully understood and mastered through analysis.
The extraordinary abilities of the two paths of reader and peeper are perfectly matched in this sequence.
In order to digest the scholar's potion, Renekton often caused trouble at sea during this period, provoking disputes, and taking the opportunity to record and analyze the extraordinary abilities of different paths.
Although the sequences of most pirates were not high, and they were concentrated in the two paths of sailors and hunters, Renekton still analyzed a lot of low-sequence extraordinary abilities due to the large number of people.
Some extraordinary abilities of uncommon paths were also exchanged for an opportunity to analyze extraordinary abilities by asking Mr. Huang for help.
Even the spirit creatures who often went to the library to read books were not spared by Renekton. Most of these spirit creatures were spirit creatures from the Brotherhood of the Pure Light, which was mainly composed of the seven pure lights of the spirit world. They were relatively friendly to humans and liked to spread knowledge.
"It took nearly five months to completely digest the scholar's potion, and the progress seemed good."
Renekton was quite satisfied with his digestion progress.
"It just threw my work to the rabbit and the black cat again. As expected, I have to raise another small animal. I can't just focus on one rabbit and squeeze it."
Thinking of Bugs Bunny who had been working for him, Renekton decided to raise another extraordinary animal to share the work with it.
Renekton's spirit was touched, and he turned his head to look at the position on his left hand side. A brass book emerged from the spirit world and floated in front of Renekton.
Renekton took the brass book with a little curiosity and opened it. Line by line, it showed:
My dear Mr. "Arsonist":
Your bounty in Intis has reached 15,000 Fel gold, and the bounty in Rune is also 5,000 pounds. Listen to my advice, don't be too arrogant on the sea, be careful that your bounty order will spread to Madan, then you will be famous.
I already know the auxiliary materials for the corpse collector's potion you asked about last time.
50 grams of brown group mushrooms grown in the cemetery, 10 milliliters of psychedelic grass essential oil, 10 grams of black pearl powder, and 100 milliliters of pure water.
Sister is in a good mood today, so I won't charge you any money. Just regard it as the reward for those strange little spells you told me before.
The last signature is: Sister Xia, you are in a good mood.
Seeing that Intis offered such a high reward for him, Renekton was helpless. This was pure luck.
Renekton knew that he would be wanted by the Church of Storms if he caused trouble at sea, but the Church of the Eternal Sun was a real surprise. In order to hide his way, Renekton basically only used fire spells when fighting with people outside, and then accidentally burned a deacon of the Church of the Eternal Sun with the flames of the devil.
Even Cattleya came to warn him some time ago not to go out and cause trouble during this period, otherwise it would be easy to be ambushed by the maritime forces of the two major churches.
After reading the letter written by Xia to him, Renekton suddenly had an idea and turned a page of the book. He wrote in the dragon language: If your body is in the spirit world, can you directly pass the message between the two pieces of paper?
The brass book quickly responded, and a word in the dragon language appeared below: Yes.
Renekton understood, and then wrote: You will send a piece of paper to the lady who just wrote the letter, and then stay in the spirit world and pass the message directly on the two pieces of paper.
After Renekton finished writing this sentence, he tore off a blank piece of paper from the book, and then threw the brass-colored book forward, and the book ran back to the spirit world by itself.
In a city in East Balam on the southern continent, Ms. Xia, who was enjoying the bright sunshine and fresh air in the garden of a manor, suddenly frowned, and a slightly yellowed white paper fell from the spirit world.
Xia reached out to take the paper that fell from the spirit world, slightly puzzled. Why did she give herself another blank paper just after she finished writing a letter? Did she think that what she wrote was too little?
A line of awkward words appeared on the slightly yellowed white paper:
I just found a new use for the messenger. We can talk directly on paper and let the messenger's body stay in the spirit world to transmit information.
"Interesting!" Xia's mouth curled up a not-so-obvious arc.
Turning back to a room in the manor, she sat down at a desk, picked up a feather pen and began to write on the slightly yellowed paper:
Your messenger is really different. How did you find it?
After waiting for a while, new lines of text appeared on the paper:
"Spirit wandering in the void, friendly creatures that can be driven, unique beings willing to be my messengers." I used this spell to make the spirit world creatures who wanted to be my messenger come to me to apply for the job.
Thea silently memorized the spell, and then wrote:
Then did the spirit world creatures really come to you to apply for the job?
Renekton replied quickly: Yes! After all, I still have some charisma in the spirit world!
When the previously written content accumulates, the blank paper will automatically clear them.
Xia wrote on the blank paper again:
Charm? Does it mean saying to the messenger, "Please, Mr. Messenger, I really need you"?
Sitting on the side of the ship, Renekton looked at the content on the paper with a black line on his face. He asked the messenger to delete this sentence directly before starting to write:
Sister Xia, aren't you traveling at public expense? How did you get the auxiliary material formula of the corpse collector so quickly? Did you rob the Spirit Cult?
Xia quickly replied:
I just happened to meet a middle-aged man who was in need of love recently, and I asked him for it.
"Middle-aged man who was in need of love?" Renekton thought about it in his mind, and always felt that Xia's words were not serious. Then he wrote on the paper:
Sister Xia, I didn't expect that you would choose to take a shortcut in the end?
New content soon emerged on the white paper:
How is your scholar's potion digested? How about I go to the sea to help you check it!
Renekton felt that the paper in his hand seemed to tremble, as if it was pierced by a pen. He quickly wrote a line on the paper:
My captain asked me to collect the dried fish. That's all for today. We'll talk next time!
After writing this sentence, Renekton raised his hand and sent the paper back to the spirit world.
In the manor of the southern continent, Xia, who was sitting at the desk, saw a sentence appear on the paper that she had pierced, and then she quickly escaped into the depths of the spirit world as if she was running for her life.
"The messenger is as cowardly as the master!" Xia whispered, got up and left the room.
At the door of the room, I saw a man who was hesitating whether to knock on the door. He
had bronze skin, extremely rare black hair and black eyes, a slightly cold face, wearing a black windbreaker, and a slightly thin figure. He was estimated to be less than 30 years old. He wore a black ring inlaid with emerald gems on his finger.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Phoenix!" Xia showed a very decent smile.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Thea!"
The man called Phoenix looked a little embarrassed when he saw Thea's smile.
On the Future, Renekton, who had finished the conversation, was ready to find Cattleya. Calculating the time, Mr. Fool of the future had already awakened from Sefirah for some time.
Renekton's inspiration was touched, and a stream of complex information formed by a light without substance appeared in front of him in an illusory manner. Renekton felt as if he had looked into the eyes of the other party.
A picture appeared in Renekton's mind: a young man with black hair and brown eyes, ordinary appearance, deep features, and scholarly temperament. He was wearing a tuxedo, black vest, white shirt, black bow tie and dark trousers.
The other party seemed to be talking to him, no, talking to the owner of his perspective.
Renekton quickly reacted. This was the picture that the Hidden Sage transmitted to him through Old Neil's perspective.
After doing all this, the Hidden Sage's information incarnation once again disappeared from Renekton's vision in an illusory manner like a torrent.
The sudden appearance of the Hidden Sage and his departure made Renekton a little stunned.
"Is he urging me to find the future Mr. Fool as soon as possible?" Renekton guessed uncertainly.
Renekton was not surprised by the attitude of the Hidden Sage or the Knowledge Wilds to invest in the future Mr. Fool. His soul had been through the Knowledge Wilds once before coming to this body, and his memory must have been obtained by the other party without reservation.
"It seems that we can't wait until the Future is close to Loen before rushing there."
Renekton pondered in his heart. He quickened his pace to the captain's room and saw Cattleya who was reading a book.
"What's the matter?"
Cattleya put a bookmark on the book in her hand and closed it.
"Captain, I'm leaving the Future." Renekton said directly.
Cattleya nodded without surprise:
"Okay, do we need to say goodbye to everyone? If you are not in a hurry, you can take the Future."
Renekton shook his head, recalling the timeline behind and said:
"No, I just need to tell Frank, I will pack my things and go directly to the destination through the spirit world."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be back to the sea at the beginning of next year."
Bring up the progress and prepare to intervene in the plot (o°ω°o)
