"found it?"

Black Jack struggled to sit up, rubbed his head with his fingers, and asked in a dull tone: "Where is it?"

Euan next to him also opened his eyes, pushed away the wine barrel in his arms, and stared at the visitor coldly.

Walid looked at the dozens of wine barrels scattered around the two of them and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. These two people were really more perverted than the other, regardless of their strength or alcohol capacity.

"On Duckman Island, the flagman there just reported that he saw Red Hair early in the morning and the Ronan docked. She should be replenishing supplies."

"Darkman?"

Black Jack glanced at Euan, then stood up and looked at the calm sea around him, "Let the second officer turn to target Darkman Island..."

"it is good!"

Walid hurriedly ran towards the wheelhouse of the five-masted sailboat, without hesitation, as if he was worried that if he ran too slowly, he would be left to have a drinking or wrestling match.

"How long until Duckman Island?"

"Looking at the direction of the wind, it will probably take a day." Black Jack stretched and kicked the empty wine barrels off the bow of the ship one by one. "I hope it's not too late."

"One day?" Euan frowned slightly, "Looking at the direction they are traveling, it seems they are going to the waters south of Cordo."

Black Jack was startled, "What do you mean?"

"Has your Black Pearl's control of the route become so poor?"

"Um...you mean that after killing Henrik, they still dared to run to Awad Island like nothing happened?"

Euan glanced at him, "There is no shortage of brave and fearless fighters on the sea!"

"That's right..." Black Jack touched the thick stubble on his chin, "Then just intercept them in front of that route."

Seeing that he understood, Youan said nothing more, but leaned on the tentacles on the side and stared at the calm sea in a daze.

Ten days have passed since he left Custer City State. Counting the time, Carly should have left the border of Chatland Kingdom by now...

Carly...good daughter...

"I said, these days you are either fighting or drinking. If this continues, the problem will not be solved." Black Jack noticed his appearance and said helplessly.

"have opinions?"

"I mean, it's time for you to do something serious."

Youan looked at him expressionlessly without any response, as if he was using silence to express that he was not in the mood to think about other things now.

"How about I let you serve as the third officer on the White Rose?" Black Jack said coquettishly: "Although you were the one taking care of me when we were at White Rose, but now..."

"I reject!"

"Hey, don't refuse in a hurry."

"Just give up on letting me work under your hands!" You An turned his head.

"Hey, do you know how many people want to get on my ship right now?"

Black Jack still refused to give up and continued to persuade: "With our strength, not to mention sweeping the Cordo Sea, we can surpass 90.00% of the five ships."

"As long as we do something earth-shattering during our journey to the Forbidden Sea, the probability of the boss agreeing to help you will be greatly increased. By then, I believe even the Hammer Girl will not be able to find a reason to reject you."

Probability...

Youan's expression changed slightly. He had prepared some things before, but he didn't know whether the Sea Emperor recognized the value of those things.

If it is done this way, it would be a good idea.

But in that case, he might be completely tied to the Black Pearl.

For Carly...

"What's the big deal?"

Black Jack grinned, the plan worked.

"You also know that the Araniga has been making constant moves recently. It wants to challenge us and occupy some of the say in the Kordo Sea. If we can severely damage them, I believe that the Forbidden Sea will recognize your strength."

"Araniga..." Euan thought for a few seconds and asked, "What's going on with that ship?"

"Captain Suad, you should have heard that before the formation of the Araniga, he was the first mate of the Bip Belusa on the west coast."

"Suad?" Euan was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly, "So it's him... That's not an easy person to deal with."

Black Jack said with deep understanding: "It is indeed difficult to deal with, especially after he obtained the forbidden object, it became even more difficult to deal with him."

"Is this why you went to Custer City last time?"

"It's almost like that. If we can get the bow statue, we can stop the ship from returning home... It's a pity that someone disrupted the situation along the way."

Euan said thoughtfully: "The Homecoming... I have heard some rumors about it. I heard that it is a special forbidden object that can sail in hidden channels and even pass through the forbidden sea."

"That's right," Black Jack nodded, his tone a little solemn, "It was thanks to that forbidden object that Suad's strength improved so quickly. You and I both know what's in the forbidden sea!"

Forbidden sea...

A hint of evil flashed across Euan's face. This word with an obvious dangerous connotation was a nightmare for all ships on the entire Cordo Sea.

It was a place that was completely different from other sea areas. No, to be precise, it was a place that was not consistent with this world.

Since the New Era, no ship has appeared that can conquer the Forbidden Sea!
Even if he is as strong as Isabello, he only has an island on the outskirts of the Forbidden Sea as a base camp. If he wants to explore deeply, he will have to pay a heavy price.

Only some sea tribes, special forbidden objects, or certain monsters in the deep sea can go deep into the forbidden sea.

"In that case, it will be much more difficult."

"Well," Black Jack sighed, stretched out his hand to hold one of the tentacles of the ship's bow, and said in a low voice, "In fact, the boss already fought Suad once..."

"Oh?"

"Very few people know about this, and the consequences are very bad."

Euan raised his eyebrows, "Lost?"

"How is it possible?!" Black Jack jumped up as if he had been stabbed in the vital point, "Of course the boss didn't lose, and it's impossible to lose, he just didn't win..."

"A tie?"

Black Jack still shook his head and said unconvinced: "The boss will be sleeping for half a year, and Suad is far away in the Forbidden Sea. I think his injuries are more serious than the boss."

Euan looked at him thoughtfully. After a few seconds of silence, he said quietly: "The Hammer lady said before that the Araniga has been moving frequently recently?"

"That's what the last letter said, what happened?"

"Why do you think they did that?"

"Uh?" Black Jack was startled, then reacted, "You mean... Suad is back?"

"I hope he didn't, otherwise the big thing you just mentioned might turn into a trap."

Black Jack's expression changed slightly. If this is the case, the situation is much more serious than Lotelia said.

Once that person takes advantage of the boss's sleep and attacks them - it will be a disaster-like blow!

"no, I can not!"

"Ha," Euan chuckled, "Jack, do you still remember the first lesson I taught you?"

"The first lesson?" Black Jack's face turned completely dark, and his tone was serious: "On the Cordo Sea, there are no chances. Always prepare for the worst and make every preparation..."

"Yes, no matter whether Suad returns or not, we must prepare in this way. Next..."

At this time, a pirate on the observation deck shouted: "First mate! There's a situation!"

"Ok?"

"There is a three-masted sailing ship at ten o'clock!"

"A ship?" Hearing that such a trivial matter interrupted the conversation between the two, Black Jack cursed angrily: "Asshole, our Bekli is still afraid of a three-masted sailboat?"

"No, it's not." The pirate on the observation deck shrank his head and said with a sigh of relief: "First mate, he is from that ship..."

Euan stood up suddenly and looked at the boat heading towards them, "Red hair, Marco?"

Black Jack was stunned for a moment, then looked at the ship as well, and glanced around, "It's really that noble brat from the Secret Adjustment Department. Didn't he say he was on Darkman Island?"

"Obviously, there is someone else on Darkman Island..."

On the three-masted sailboat not far from them, there were several young people still sleeping soundly lying on the deck. One of them was Marco, who had just been at sea for ten days.

"Boss!! There's a situation!"

Mosquera, who was at the helm, saw the five-masted sailboat from a distance, and his expression changed drastically. Although he had not been at sea for a long time, he still recognized the name and logo of the Black Pearl.

Upon discovering this, he hurried to the deck and kicked everyone awake.

"Well, what's wrong?" Marco stood up with his face covered, and asked blankly: "Moscela, have you arrived at Avad Island?"

"Never mind Awad, look over there, the Black Pearl!!" Mosquera shouted, pointing to the five-masted sailboat in the four o'clock direction.

"What, Black Pearl?!" Marco woke up instantly, and he also knew what the Black Pearl meant to them.

He looked in the direction Mosquera said, and suddenly saw a five-masted sailboat, much larger than his Tyrant, rushing straight towards them.

"It's over, it's over, I'm dead now." A fat young man collapsed on the ground, "I told you not to go to sea, but you didn't listen..."

"Shut up, Plamon!" Mosquera glared at him, then looked at Marco and said, "Boss, what should we do now?"

"How can I...well," Marco frowned, looking at the ships under the Black Pearl getting closer and closer, his thoughts changed quickly, "Don't talk for a while, I'll do it!"

According to what he learned, as long as they are not captains like Henrik, other ships on the Black Pearl will not go too far. At most, they will hand over part of the money on board...

"wrong!"

Mosquera suddenly thought of something and his face changed, "Boss, what you look like now..."

"Like?"

Red hair...fuck!

Marco reacted and asked anxiously: "Do you have any transfiguration potion? Give it to me quickly."

"It's too late, they are already here..." Mosquera shook his head slightly, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Obviously the situation was worse than he imagined, "Now I can only hope that they will believe that you are a tyrant. Not the red-haired one..."

Marco suddenly felt that it would be great if the red-haired captain was really himself...

At least if you have that kind of strength, you will still have some confidence when facing the situation in front of you.

"This is really dead."

"Hey……"

When several other people saw this, they all slumped on the ground dejectedly, but after all, they had no intention of complaining about Marco.

For a time, the entire Tyrant was completely silent, as if waiting for death to come.Not long after, the Bekli pulled up beside it, and its hull, which was twice as big, shrouded the entire Tyrant in its shadow.

Boom, boom, boom...

Triangular claws and ropes stuck to the side of the Tyrant. Several pirates jumped over excitedly waving their weapons. Looking at Marco and others who had given up resistance, they asked in a disappointed tone: "Are you pirates? Don't plan to Would you like to resist?"

Revolt?

Marco and others looked up at him at the same time and rolled their eyes. It's a shame to resist!

"Huh? Look at him?" One of the pirates saw Marco's appearance and looked at the others in confusion and asked, "I think I've seen him somewhere?"

"Red hair?"

"It seems that the one who killed Henrik before was the one with red hair, right?"

"No way, didn't you say that man is on Duckman Island? The first mate and his friends are here!"

At this time, Black Jack, Euan and Walid flashed onto the Tyrant, looked at Marco's appearance, and marveled: "Exactly the same as the one in the newspaper... Epidemic doctor, what do you say?"

Euan looked at the young man working with his daughter, "Marco Nascimento?"

"Huh?" Hearing the name, Marco looked at him blankly and asked uncertainly: "You, are you Dr. Morris?"

Investigator Carly's father, why is he here?
It seems that they are still together with the people from the Black Pearl... The Church of Dawn and the people from the Black Pearl have joined forces?
"It's him." Euan confirmed.

"It's really him," Black Jack squatted down and looked at the red-haired man in front of him, who he had met once before. "Were you the one who killed Henrik before?"

"No, it's not!" Marco's face turned bitter. He really came here because of this. He quickly shouted: "Someone turned into me and did it. I really am not!"

"Yes, this, sir," Mosquera saw that Euan obviously knew Marco, and plucked up the courage to say: "These days, we have been staying near Tarinal Island in the back, and we have never seen a storm at all. Hunter."

"Yes, yes, it's not us..." When the others saw this, they also realized that whether the boss had red hair or not was related to their life and death, and they quickly agreed.

"Isn't it?" Black Jack grinned, and the sun shone from behind him, making his face look slightly sinister. "Then you are useless!"

useless?
Marco and the others looked ashen, it was over, they were dead!

Seeing their appearance, Youan smiled for the first time in ten days and chuckled: "They still have some use."

"Oh?"

"Don't you think it would be a good idea to take them on board?"

"Them?" Black Jack was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, opened his mouth slightly, and said in surprise: "You are not planning to use him for business, are you? Hey, hey, Ms. Hammer is not that easy to fool!"

Euan glanced at him and said calmly: "What if you don't find that person?"

"Forehead……"

Black Jack understood that this was a problem. If he hadn't bumped into the redhead, he wouldn't have known how long it would have been delayed.

"Someone, pack up the people on this ship and take them away!"

Marco and others looked at each other, what do you mean?
Instead of killing them, do you want to take them away? !

Thinking of this, Marco felt a mixture of sadness and anger, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Doctor Morris, I really am not a redhead!!"

……

……

Meanwhile, on Darkman Island.

"Roar--"

"Jas, Teague, Love~" (Phantom)

When Wayne bypassed the repair shop and arrived at the foot of the bare hill, Claire had already started fighting with the eyeless monster.

She didn't just turn the eyeless monster into a puppet?
The fingernails of the eyeless monster were long and sharp, and it was slashing towards Claire like a sharp sword. It was extremely fast, and if it missed a hit, it would rely on the surrounding rocks and trees to bounce around.

There are no eyelids covering the eye sockets, only two dark and deep pits. As it moves, two eyeballs the size of fingernails collide and roll back and forth like marbles.

"It's so annoying~ It's a supernatural abnormality with only instincts. No, except that it's not deformed enough, it's almost the same as the abnormal type, but it's more troublesome than the real abnormal type!" Claire noticed his arrival and looked slightly embarrassed. He complained while avoiding the attack of the eyeless monster.

"Only instinct?"

"Without a mind, you cannot be bewitched!"

Mind, bewitchment?
Is this what the panel says about 'no self', meaning no mind?

It turns out that the prerequisite for Claire's ability to use puppets is this...

Wei En observed for a few seconds, "Do you need help?"

Although his eyes were watching the battle between the two, his attention was focused on the surroundings, especially the top of the unremarkable hill in front of him, which was a place he could not perceive before.

However, except for the eyeless monster, he found no other abnormal people, and there was no prompt on the panel.

There is only such a minister-level abnormality...

"No, no need!" Claire's face turned cold, as if she was stimulated by Wayne's words, she stopped dodging in place, and disappeared into the shadows in a flash.

The eyeless monster passed through Claire's previous position, and its sharp fingertips drew several afterimages, cutting the rock flatly.

After seeing that there was no trace of the enemy, he turned his head and brought out two eyeballs. He noticed Wei En who was watching the battle on the side and rushed over with a roar, "Rixi, ho--"

Wayne: "..."

Did you say you don't need help?
Snapped.

He snapped his fingers casually, and the ghosts, red hearts and secret masters on his head cast several spells at the same time.

"Dip, Rocko, the door!" (Shadow Wrap)

"Gia, Leer, Jins." (Psychic Shield)

"Ze, Roka." (Jianbi)

A magic circle appeared at Wei En's feet, and a shield formed by spiritual power enveloped his body.

The flesh-strengthening spell "Strong Wall" cast by Chixin also caused his body to suddenly shrink by a circle, and his muscles, bones, skin and flesh tightened at the same time, greatly improving his body's defense capabilities.

Before the eyeless monster was about to attack Wei En, countless dry arms stretched out from the magic circle and instantly grabbed its ankles and fixed it.

No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't move at all. Its arms were waving, but they didn't even scratch the corner of Wei En's clothes.

[You use the shadow entanglement (god of death) spell to hit Adruto Watson, control the time for 10 seconds, and trigger the death characteristic - aging, that is, the death progress is 4/60.Evaluation: Use a weird knife to kill chickens... Special reward: +1 survival point. 】

"Rui." (Death!)

Wei En looked at it motionlessly. Except for the eyes and the scales covering the body, everything else was the same as an ordinary transcendent.

"Have you ever seen such extraordinary distortion before?"

Claire poked her head out from the shadows beside her, "We've seen a lot of extraordinary deformations, but it's rare to see people whose minds are polluted like this."

"The vast majority of extraordinary beings who use pollution characteristics will at least retain their own minds in order to distinguish themselves from real aberrations, just like you... are similar to aberration wizards."

I?Aberrant wizard?

Wayne gave her a look that was obviously a reference to the way he had looked at Custer before.

"Since it's not easy for you to deal with it, go back and be with Willen and the others first."

"What about you?" Claire curled her lips, thinking she had discovered something interesting, but she didn't expect it to be the puppet's insulating properties that were even more annoying than Wayne's discovery of her true and false body abilities... It wasn't fun at all.

"I'll go take a look, soon."

"Okay, then I'll go to other places to collect some information and see what's special about this island~"

After saying that, Claire sank into the shadows again and disappeared.

After she left, Wei En looked thoughtfully at the eyeless monster that kept struggling but could not escape the control of its withered arms.

The extraordinary distortion caused by blinding one's eyes with murderous intent... could it have anything to do with the places where murderous intent is stored?
"Roar--"

"It's really jarring."

However, Wei En did not take any further action, but waited quietly to see if there were others, or abnormal distortions similar to the eyeless monsters.

but……

[Adluto Watson triggers the death characteristic - instant death, dead... Special rewards: +10 survival points, +1 toughness level. 】

[Discover the source of devouring, do you use the devouring spell? 】

"I couldn't even last ten seconds. But..."

No one really came?

There was nothing found within the range covered by Wei En's mental perception... This was somewhat different from the results he had previously speculated.

Have the people who massacred the Kermans left the island?

Or are they all hiding in those isolation circles that he can't perceive?

Wei En thought for a few seconds, then let the ghosts and the others devour the deformed extraordinary being who had completely turned into an old mummy.

[You use the Devouring Soul Spell to devour the origin of Adluto Watson, and your origin will be improved.Evaluation: Like eating a lump... Special reward: Origin +2. 】

Origin promotion 2?

"It shouldn't be. How could it improve so much?"

Wei En raised his eyebrows, remembering that when he devoured the leader-level abyss creature-the Thorn Demon, he also received a source reward of 2.

But according to the characteristics of the panel, after he is promoted to wizard, the original rewards obtained by devouring creatures should be reduced.

Or was he a wizard of the Ghost School before he became an aberration?
Tsk, one more reason to explore this island!
Thinking like this, Wei En flashed away and appeared on the top of the hill in an instant.

"This is……"

I saw a building similar in shape to a pyramid standing in front of me, 30 meters high, the same length and width.

However, its material is not masonry, but the whole body has a metallic luster, without any connecting gaps, as if it is cast by pouring metal directly with a grinding tool.

"Well, are there guests?"

At this time, a hoarse voice sounded.

Wei En suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, his eyes focused.

mummy? !

PS: Thank you to the romantic boss for the reward. Thank you very much for your support!

Tonight's extra update has been cancelled... I'm too sleepy... I'll definitely add another update tomorrow! !
