Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 109: Imitation Teardrop: I don’t know!

【Soul +5000000】

[Soul of the Demigod Jax]

['Silent Disciple' Extraordinary Characteristics]

On the dock, Ember, who was waiting for the teardrop to explore, suddenly looked confused.

Demigod Jax?
No, who are you?
There's a demigod hiding in that volcano?
But why?
and.

That’s five million souls!
The Sequence 4 Qiunas only gave 3 souls, so wouldn’t a Sequence demigod be given million at once?
But the problem is-

Who are you?

[The soul of the demigod Jax.]

One of them is a deformed soul with power.

You can get many souls after using it.
Its power can also be extracted through refining.

He is a pious demigod.

But they believed in the wrong gods,
Isn’t this a kind of blasphemy? 】

"Things are in hand."

Alger walked through the crowd and waved to Ember.

He also held a crystal in his hand.

The shape is similar to that of a faded egg, and the shell seems very thin, as if it might break if touched.

You can hear the sound of running water without shaking it.

It goes without saying that this is the medullary crystal of the Elf Spring.

"You didn't go exploring?"

Alger asked curiously, "Or have you finished the exploration?"

"almost."

Ember said vaguely, "Leave as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Alger spread his hands, turned around and walked towards the Blue Avenger with Yu Jin.

Although he was also curious about the secrets of the island, he would not take the initiative to ask.

Mr. Fool taught him a lesson.

Everything comes at a price.

If he wants to obtain the secret in Yu Jin's hand, he must pay the corresponding price.

But obviously.

He probably couldn't afford the price.

After all, the secrets on this island might even be coveted by the Four Kings.

Of course, it could also be fear.

"boom!"

The sails of the Blue Avenger were quickly unfolded and the anchor was quickly reeled in.

And just as the Blue Avenger was about to leave the port.

The replica teardrop also returned to the ship silently and returned to Yujin's cabin.

And through the memory of the replica teardrop, Yu Jin finally understood what happened in the volcano.

However, this did not resolve his doubts.

For example--

"So who is this Jax?"

Yu Jin was full of doubts.

He thought that Jax might be a demigod sealed in a volcano—

After all, he has encountered many similar situations.

But judging from the memories of the replica teardrop, Jax is not a 'native' of the volcano.

Moreover, every move the opponent made was deadly and it was obvious that he was aiming to kill people.

But the problem is.

why?
Could it be that the teardrop imitating the human body forced its way into the volcano and led to the pursuit?

This Jacks is actually the guardian of the volcano?
But why would a seemingly ordinary volcano need the protection of a demigod?

But if he really is the so-called guardian.

The defense of this volcano seems to be too weak.

But if not.

Where did this demigod come from?
It's impossible that he followed him all the way here just to kill him, right?

No way, right?

"Forget it, the dead are the greatest."

Yu Jin shook his head and put these messy thoughts behind him.

Anyway, the person is dead, there is no need to worry about where he came from.

Anyway, even if we knew, there's no way we could resurrect him.

But what interests Yujin most now is the secret of the volcano itself.

Yu Jin's mind moved slightly, and a piece of debris appeared silently in his hand.

This is what the Simulated Teardrop picked up from the bottom of the volcano——

The soil at the bottom of the volcano has been turned into magma by the "Wrath of Gmir", and everything around it has been melted by the high temperature.

But this fragment is an exception.

Everything was melted, only it survived the wrath of Gmir.

This is no coincidence.

Yu Jin looked carefully at the fragments in his hand.

It is black all over and looks like a fragment of black crystal.

The texture is smooth, but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about it.

Perhaps the only thing worth mentioning is that it is extremely sturdy.

Even temperatures of thousands of degrees cannot destroy it.

And most importantly, it always gave Ember an inexplicably familiar feeling.

It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But his vague memory always made it difficult for him to remember.

"What the hell is this?"

A trace of deep doubt flashed across Yu Jin's eyes, but suddenly a word popped up in his mind -

Falling star beast.

That was not his thought, but the imitation teardrop conveyed it to him!

"I see!"

It was as if a switch had been flipped, as if a fuse had been lit, and the memories of the embers came flooding back.

The relevant information about the fallen star beast is gradually becoming clear.

No wonder he looked so familiar, it turned out to be the BOSS he had killed before!
Falling star beast.

A strange race that came from outer space, said to be the pets of an unknown "god".

Falling star beasts usually disguise themselves as meteorites and land in a certain world, bringing destruction and damage to that world.

Moreover, they often have extremely high growth potential and will continue to grow through constant devouring and killing.

From falling star beasts, to falling stars becoming beasts, and even...

Yu Jin looked down at the black crystal in his hand.

What kind of black crystal is this?

This is clearly a fragment of the crystal armor worn by the Fallen Star Beast!

"Then it all makes sense!"

"There is no such thing as a volcano. It is a deep pit created by the falling star beast when it descended!"

"And it seems there are more than one such 'volcano'!"

"This means that there may have been a large number of fallen star beasts that descended upon this world."

“These fallen star beasts must have brought great panic and destruction, but the Beyonders in this world are obviously not just for show.”

"From the current situation, this world once welcomed a large-scale 'meteor shower'. These 'meteors' are actually fallen star beasts in disguise. Their essence is an invasion of this world by the fallen star beasts."

"As a result, a battle to protect the world began among the Beyonders in this world."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the major churches will be the main force in this 'defense war'. Judging from the fact that the beliefs of the major churches are still the mainstream and humans have not become extinct."

"The invasion should have ended with victory for humans and gods. At least most of the Fallen Star Beasts have been destroyed, but we cannot rule out the possibility that some of the Fallen Star Beasts managed to escape by chance."

"And these 'volcanoes' were artificially formed by High-Sequence Powerfuls in the later period. The purpose was to cover up the traces of the fallen star beasts' existence. They deliberately used towering volcanoes to hide the traces of the impact."

"But what does this have to do with the Pirates' Convention?"

"If the Fallen Star Beast is dead, it won't have any impact whether these pirates show up or not."

"And if the Falling Star Beast hadn't died, there wouldn't be those 'volcanoes' on the island."

“There doesn’t seem to be a close connection between the two.”

"Or is there some secret that I don't know?"

"Or maybe these pirates are just trying to attract those 'slippery fish' who managed to escape by chance?"

"Ash!"

Just as he was thinking about it, Alger's voice suddenly came from outside the cabin.

Yu Jin put away the thoughts in his mind and opened the hatch.

Alger was standing in the corridor, looking a little solemn.

"I think you should come out and see."

Alger said in a deep voice.

"it is good."

Ember nodded and followed Alger through the corridor and onto the deck.

The Blue Avenger has now sailed away from the island.

And in the sea ahead of them, several sailboats were cruising.

Leading the way was a red sailing warship with a big red tree printed on its sails.

"That is the flagship of 'Admiral of Blood', the Tree of Flesh and Blood."

Alger took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Although it is rumored that Admiral Blood and Vice Admiral Iceberg had a conflict, I did not see any trace of the Golden Dream nearby."

"But no matter what, I feel like he's probably coming for us!"

"Don't worry, he may not be coming for us."

Yu Jin looked at the fleet cruising not far away and said slowly, "Go straight over and see if he will stop us."

"it is good."

Alger nodded and without hesitation ordered the Blue Avenger to move at full speed.

……

"Master Senior." Second Mate 'Steel' McVitie whispered, "There's a ship coming."

Senior glanced at the oncoming Blue Avenger and said calmly,

"Don't worry about him."

There were tens of thousands of pirates attending the Pirate Conference, and it was impossible for him to rob every one of them.

and.

These pirates who left early were probably just here to join in the fun, so what good things could they get?
It's useless to rob.

What's more, they didn't come here to plunder.

"Yes, Master Senior."

Maiviti bowed his head respectfully, but after a while he hesitated and said hesitantly, "Lord Jax, he seems to have been gone for a long time."

"Ok?"

Senior glanced at him coldly.

"Lord Senior."

Mai Weiti was so frightened that he trembled all over and said hurriedly, "I'm just a little worried..."

"worry about what?"

Senior sneered, "Master Jax is a demigod, a Sequence 3 demigod! Do you think there is anything on that island that can threaten Master Jax?"

McVitie lowered his head, sweating profusely.

He did not make any excuse, nor did he dare to do so.

Yes.

Lord Jax is a Sequence 3 demigod, so even the Four Kings have to stay away from him.

What's more, how could anything unexpected happen when we were just dealing with a fake messenger of God?
Maybe Lord Jax is interrogating that man right now.

"Lord Senior."

McVitti whispered, "Perhaps Lord Jax has already interrogated the person behind the 'fake envoy', and he may have tracked him down directly, so he has not responded for so long."

"Ok?"

Senior glanced at him and nodded calmly.

This analysis does make sense.

After all, with Lord Jax's strength, it shouldn't take so long to deal with a mouse.

"Wait another half hour."

Senior said calmly, "If Master Jax doesn't come back in half an hour, we will return."

……

Alger controlled the Blue Avenger and carefully bypassed Admiral Blood's fleet.

Seeing that the other party did not make any move to launch an attack, Alger couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had no doubt that Yu Jin could kill all the people on the other ship by himself.

After all, that’s what he did the first time he came to sea.

But here's the thing.

There will inevitably be casualties in naval battles!

Ember is fine, and he will probably be fine too, but the ship will be in trouble!

Although the Blue Avenger is a ghost ship, to put it bluntly, it is just an unmanned sailboat.

Its own defensive power is here.

If a naval battle really breaks out, the Blue Avenger will suffer heavy damage even if it is not sunk.

Although the ghost ship itself can slowly recover from minor damage, repairs require materials.

And materials cost money.

And if it takes serious damage, it would be difficult for a ghost ship to repair itself.

And even if it could be repaired, the cost would be so high that Alger would be depressed.

Therefore, once a real fight breaks out, he can only board with Ash and let the Blue Avenger stay away.

They sailed for another few dozen nautical miles until they were completely away from Admiral Xue's fleet.

Alger finally felt relieved.

He arranged the ceremony again and sacrificed the medullary crystal of the Elven Spring to the Fool.

……

Backlund, inside a cafe.

"Feel sorry."

Klein, who was accompanying Mike on the investigation, suddenly stopped and said expressionlessly in front of Mike's puzzled eyes, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Oh."

Mike immediately showed a look of realization and winked at Klein, "I understand, I understand."

"You know a hammer!"

Klein's face was filled with black lines. He resisted the urge to beat him up and walked into the bathroom.

He walked four steps backwards and entered the gray fog.

The crimson star that symbolizes the Hanged Man is contracting and expanding.

Klein sighed, stretched out his hand, and extended his spirituality to touch the past.

"The medullary crystal of the Elf Spring."

Klein played with the eggshell-like object in his hand, but couldn't help but sigh.

This thing was not what he wanted, but was purchased by a pharmacist he met at a gathering of extraordinary people.

Now that he is a middleman, he can make a lot of money.

But Klein felt extremely helpless.

Why does it feel like this is just a logistics center?
So why did he suddenly come up with the idea of ​​performing the sacrifice?

Complaints may be complaints, but Klein is not at all vague about what needs to be done.

After all, the person who benefits the most from the "logistics business" is actually him.

If it weren’t for this logistics business, he wouldn’t have been able to be promoted to Sequence 7 so quickly.

"Now I am also a genuine mid-sequence 'powerful man'. I can't say I am that terrifying, but at least I have the strength to fight."

Klein sat in the seat of The Fool and thought silently, "Perhaps, I can also start investigating the truth of what happened in Tingen. No matter what, I have to at least avenge myself."

"Speaking of it,"

Klein suddenly sighed, "I wonder how the captain and the others are doing now."

Klein suddenly felt a little lonely.

Above the gray fog, he is the almighty Mr. Fool.

Revered by all Tarot Club members.

But in reality, who knows him?

The people who cared about him were still alive, but the 'Klein Moretti' they cared about was already dead.

Klein put down the medullary crystal of the Elf Spring with some melancholy and soon returned to reality.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I saw Mike sitting by the window.

"Sorry for the waitting."

Klein walked forward and just opened his mouth to speak when he saw Mike asking with concern, "Sherlock, the doctor I introduced to you last time is really good at medicine. Would you like to consider it again?"

"unnecessary!"

Klein's face suddenly darkened.

You have kidney deficiency! Your whole family has kidney deficiency!
……

In Winter County in the north of the Kingdom of Loen, the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Night, the Church of Tranquility.

Leonard Mitchell, with his black hair and blue eyes, put on a thin black windbreaker, picked up a half-high silk hat hanging on the coat rack, put on red gloves, and walked out of his room.

As early as a month ago, he had successfully advanced to the rank of Sequence 7 Nightmare.

During this month, he and the captain withstood almost all the tests in the temple.

Now he is finally qualified to join the Red Gloves and start carrying out missions in the temple.

Rounding the corner, Leonard saw a staircase leading down. He saw Captain Dunn Smith, who was wearing a black windbreaker and had a pair of deep gray eyes, and Klein Moretti, who had a slightly bookish temperament, and others standing there, waiting with a smile.

as usual.

"what happened?"

Dunn Smith looked around him with some confusion, but there was nothing there.

"nothing."

Leonard tilted his head slightly and whispered, "It's just that my memory is starting to get worse. I almost forgot that he was gone a long time ago."

"That's it."

Dunn fell silent, his eyes dimmed, and he said softly, "My memory is not very good, but I dare not forget. I dare not forget how he died. He could have survived!"

Dunn clenched his fists, and even his expression seemed a little distorted.

Leonard just watched silently, watching the usually steady captain become extremely out of control.

He knows.

The captain kept blaming himself.

If Klein had not given him the ring, perhaps everything would have been different.

But if Klein really didn't give the ring to the captain.

Will I still miss him so much?
Maybe he would hate Klein for not giving the ring to the captain?

Leonard suddenly laughed at himself.

"Sure enough, I am such a selfish person."

"Captain, where are you going next?"

Leonard shook his head and suddenly asked.

Although Dunn is no longer his captain, he has the same red gloves as him.

But he still couldn't change his habit.

"Backlund, right?"

Dunn was silent for a long time, then slowly asked, "What about you?"

"same here."

Leonard lowered his eyes slightly, and suddenly smiled, "It just so happens that Miss Daly and Old Neil are also there. Does this count as a reunion in another sense?"

Laughing, Leonard raised his head again.

As if trying to hold back something from falling out.

This is certainly a reunion, but unfortunately there is one person who was supposed to be reunited with someone missing.

The most important one is missing.

Maybe he wasn't that important before.

But after his death, he had undoubtedly become the most important person in their hearts and the person they owed the most.
