All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 898 Pirates
The Rorsted Archipelago is an archipelago located between the North Continent and the South Continent, and is also a transit point for the safest route.

Thanks to the dense islands along the way, ships can dock every two or three days, and with naval patrols, even the risk of being robbed by pirates is much smaller.

However, if the Rorsted Archipelago continues to move south, it will depend on luck.

Because of this, Bayam, the capital of the Rorsted Islands, known as the 'City of Generosity', has a very prosperous commercial scale.

Whether it is passing crew members, sailors, or even pirates, they all like to come here to consume.

The spice industry and color services are what this city is most famous for.

The Red Theatre is even more famous...

The natives of Bayam tend to be Indian-style, and their clothing is different from those of the gentlemen in Loen.

But the upper class here likes to dress in line with Loen's fashion trends...

shuh~
Following a change like an ink painting, Tao Yu appeared out of thin air in an alley in Bayam through the spirit world.

"The spirit world of this world is quite convenient. It is a collection of information. If we can understand all the information in the spirit world, we can even achieve a certain degree of omniscience."

After herding the evil gods, it would naturally be easy to utilize and travel through the spiritual world.

What's more, Tao Yu himself has a strong talent for space and can move freely by following the same pattern.

Although it is not "teleportation", traveling through the spirit world is a very convenient way of transportation in our country.

Many pathways involving the spiritual world can be utilized, and the earliest one that can be utilized for traveling should be the door pathway.

There is no need for a high sequence, just a sequence 5 traveler can have this super high mobility.

"When you come here, there's no need to pretend to be in front of others. It's a waste of time."

Tao Yu adjusted the brim of his hat.

This world doesn't have any complete identity registration or electronic monitoring systems, so there's no need to recreate the entire process of traveling across the ocean from Loen.

Now that I'm here, no matter how I got here, no one will come to study it.

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man' seems to haunt this place quite often. He should be a member of the Church of Storms, but judging from his words and actions, he doesn't seem like a normal clergyman."

Tao Yu thought of Mr. 'The Hanged Man'.

When the other party first proposed the commission regarding the pirate general, it was the first time that I faced a high-sequence being in this world head-on.

However, this action is different from the previous ones, and it is not appropriate to cause unnecessary trouble. Tao Yu also has no intention of meeting someone offline.

Instead, he stopped a dark-skinned passerby on the street and asked

"Excuse me, how do I get to the Seaweed Bar?"

As he spoke, Tao Yu held a five-sol note between his fingers.

The passerby, who was originally full of dissatisfaction, suddenly became attentive.

"I know, I know, but sir, that place is prone to gangs gathering and pirates often appear there."

This was obviously a local and he gave a reminder.

"Just tell me the location."

Tao Yu's tone was very flat. He only took five soles just to reduce trouble. Otherwise, with his current net worth of several tons of gold pound banknotes, he could easily lose it.

However, even if it was only five soles, it seemed to have caused a slight temptation. The other party did not ask this question with such good intentions, and had some ulterior motives.

But after I answered so calmly, the evil thoughts were dispelled.

"Okay, the bar is in that direction..."

After receiving the bribe, the passerby gave detailed directions and even took Tao Yu to the next intersection.

Tao Yu didn't care about this and quickly arrived at the bar which looked a bit shabby from the outside.

crunch~
As the door was pushed open, Tao Yu's gentlemanly attire seemed somewhat out of place with the rough style of the place.

This place is much bigger and is populated by burly sailors, and there are quite a few shirtless tattooed guys who enjoy drinking.

The air was filled with a complex smell of alcohol and sweat, and the voices were very loud.

Tao Yu's coming in attracted some attention, but no one paid any attention to him. There were just a few pairs of eyes staring at him.

Carrying a gentleman's cane, Tao Yu came to the front desk and looked at the bartender, then pressed down two five-sol bills.

"I'm going to find Anderson Hood and tell him that his lucky friend gave him the job."

The bartender glanced at Tao Yu, took out the bills, and handed Tao Yu a glass of malt beer.

The bubbling beer had a hint of malt aroma. Tao Yu took the beer, sniffed it, and then drank it all in one gulp. The refreshing taste was actually quite good.

"You can stay here first. I will notify him. However, he is busy setting up a team recently. If he doesn't come to see you, there will be results within two days if everything goes well."

"Can……"

……

Tao Yu didn't have to wait long. He carefully selected some local specialties and wanted to see if there was any food worth tasting.

A brisk figure sat opposite Tao Yu, and ate the food Tao Yu ordered together without any hesitation.

"Well, not bad, not bad, you have good taste, and it seems that you are worth a lot of money."

The visitor was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, had a small golden side part and emerald green eyes. With the bonus brought by the hunter path, he looked quite charming.

It was Anderson, the Reaper of Hunter Path Sequence Five.

Moreover, as the King of Angels passing through this route, Tao Yu could easily sense that the other party had digested the potion perfectly. According to what the bartender had said before, he should be preparing for the promotion ceremony to Sequence Four.

The key point is that Tao Yu also felt that the other party seemed to have a Sequence 4 characteristic buried in him.

According to his situation, as long as the ritual was completed properly, the probability of him becoming a Sequence 4 demigod was very high.

"There is a large order, do you want to accept it?"

Tao Yu didn't care about the little bit of food Anderson took away, and continued to cut the fish fillet in front of her slowly and carefully.

Although it is a local delicacy, in Tao Yu's eyes, it is just edible and a fresh snack at most.

"Take it, of course. You were introduced by my lucky friend. Besides, I really need a large sum of money right now."

Anderson said casually.

The promotion ceremony of the Red Priest Sequence 4 Iron-Blooded Knight requires the formation of a small team of about thirty people, and he is now busy with this.

Because it is closely related to promotion and involves demigods, the risk factor is also very high, so Anderson would rather not have someone with too few, and he is very careful in his selection.

Obviously, to form such a team, the financial strength required is not low, or it would be much more convenient if there is enough money.

Even though he had some savings from previous missions, he was now a little short of money after his bad luck...

-

"Iron Cross? Although I really want to make money from this, I still want to warn you in advance that the people in this organization are quite extreme... Are you also a hunter?"

Anderson raised his eyebrows and looked at Tao Yu
"Not really. Too gentle."

Listening to Anderson's words, Tao Yu didn't care much.

"That's not what you need to know. Why, are you afraid that I'll cause you trouble?"

"That's not the case. How much trouble can the Iron Cross bring me? I don't have to care about anyone below the deputy legion commander."

After that, he briefly explained to Tao Yu

"The Iron Cross has a mysterious chief commander and several deputy commanders. Each deputy commander is a demigod-level figure, but the other ordinary members are just average."

Tao Yu was also aware of this information, and even knew that the commander-in-chief of the Iron Cross was a Sequence 2 angel who was planning to hunt down the mad conqueror in order to seek promotion.

Judging from the intelligence from the Church of Night, he should have quite a few clues already. This is actually why Tao Yu plans to start from here!
No need to investigate again, just pick up the ready-made ones.

It would certainly not be convenient for him to take action frequently in Trier, but as long as he could have the opportunity to get in close contact with the legion commander, the problem would be almost solved.

Anderson, who knows the Iron Cross inside and out, is a good channel.

"I have reminded them of what I should have reminded them of. They believe in the true Creator. When I prayed, I used a sentence adapted from the name of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. You may also want to refer to it. Otherwise, once you believe in the evil god, there is no way to reverse it."

Anderson still has a strong professional ethics and now gives some good suggestions that may be used in the future.

"Oh, thanks for the advice."

"Well, won't you ask the price? I'm short of money right now, and the fee will be high."

Anderson said after a pause.

"I can accept any price you offer."

Tao Yu said with a noncommittal expression.

"Ahaha, I need to pay first before I do anything."

Anderson also reminded Tao Yu when he heard Tao Yu's loud tone.

I don't accept free stuff!
"You make an offer."

"Three hundred pounds a day, from the time of my employment."

Anderson said calmly.

If calculated based on short-term missions, hiring a Sequence 5 for three hundred gold pounds a day is not too expensive.

Because short-term tasks will definitely result in something happening right away, which is equivalent to requiring Sequence Five to take action.

But if it is a long-term mission, three hundred gold pounds a day is really not cheap.

From the moment I took on the mission, even if it was by boat, it would take more than half a month, and thousands of gold pounds would be wasted on the journey, which would cost nearly ten thousand gold pounds a month!

You can buy a nice mid-series extraordinary item.

"can."

Tao Yu did not bargain, but stood up.
"Come to my room."

Anderson was also a man of great skill and courage, and he also had some trust in Klein's identity as 'German'.

He followed Tao Yu back upstairs and into his room.

Then Tao Yu took out a suitcase and pushed it directly in front of Anderson.

pat~
When the suitcase was opened, there were dozens of ten-denomination gold pounds inside!

"Here is a hundred thousand pounds."

The cash box that Tao Yu pushed out, and the banknotes inside, made Anderson feel dizzy.

This kind of direct cash impact is much more shocking than a thin check!
Not only did the other party not bargain, he almost paid the full year's fee directly!

What a rich sponsor this is!

Although he thought the other party was not short of money at the beginning, Anderson was even more excited after seeing the situation now.

If we have these 100,000 gold pounds, the subsequent promotion ceremony will be significantly simpler!
Nowadays, almost all countries on the mainland have been involved in the war. As long as you have money, you can easily form your own team and participate in it by making a call.

In the real flames of war, the team works together and develop tacit understanding!
For a moment, Anderson even thought that he was the son of destiny! "Boss, can you allow me to deposit the money first? You know, it's inconvenient to carry so much money."

Anderson was very professional and immediately changed the name.

What is the strongest hunter under the demigod in the Sea of ​​Mist?
I am now the boss’s bodyguard and tour guide!

"can."

"Also, if you are from Loen, it may be more difficult to enter Intis now. Let me help you solve the identity problem, and I will also take care of the boat ticket."

Anderson took on all the work.

"Then thank you very much. You can ask me to reimburse all your expenses. This thousand pounds will be used as daily expenses first. If it's not enough, you can ask me again."

Tao Yu pulled out another dozen bills, which made Anderson's eyes narrow.

This is the boss!

Tao Yu felt Anderson's emotional changes and nodded secretly.

The person introduced by Klein is quite reliable.

He took out so much money at once just to see if this Sequence 5 guy would have any ideas.

At present, he is indeed short of money, but he has not had any evil thoughts and is making money honestly based on his own ability.

This alone has actually surpassed many extraordinary people...

……

Two first-class tickets allowed Tao Yu and Anderson to board a merchant ship called "Swordfish".

The ship came from the southern continent and its destination was Intis.

There were also many merchants and adventurers on the ship who wanted to return to Intis from the southern continent.

Now that the war has begun, fleets from Loen and the Fussac Empire are fighting at sea.

Although Intis has now declared war on Loen, Loen's industrial strength allows it to have its own ironclad warships and more powerful naval guns.

Coupled with the Storm Church's performance at home at sea, at least in the early stages, there was not much decline.

However, the war that had already broken out in the colonies had forced many merchants and adventurers who had come to the southern continent to seek gold to return home first, as they did not want to be involved in the brutal colonial war.

Now that Intis has just declared war and entered, and the Fessac Empire has just completed the provocation with its airship, the intensity of the war is about to intensify.

Now is the best window to return home. After that, it will be difficult for Bayam, who belongs to Loen, to get on a ship to Intis.

Even though communications in the southern continent were relatively blocked and a lot of information took a long time to transmit, news of major events like the outbreak of war had slowly spread.

At this time, the Swordfish was almost full of passengers, and the ticket price was even four times higher than usual.

However, thanks to the high ticket price, the expensive first-class cabin was vacant, giving Tao Yu and the others the opportunity to board the ship...

-

The sea voyage is relatively boring.

And even if it was a first-class cabin, it was just like that in that era, and in Tao Yu's eyes it was just a little more spacious.

During this time, he would occasionally ask Mr. Fool for some extraordinary rituals and related research materials.

Since I have nothing to do anyway, it would be a good idea to supplement my extraordinary knowledge.

Although there are quite a few Medici, they are ultimately just hunters.

Anderson was a very capable guy, and after discovering that Tao Yu liked to taste all kinds of delicious food, he found ways to add a lot of special things for Tao Yu during this boring voyage.

The small islands where we stopped and even the fish we were fishing for were running around.

He speaks nicely, not like a hunter at all.

"Making money is making money, but don't go against your own identity, otherwise you will fail to advance."

Tao Yu blew on the shark fin porridge that had been simmering on a low fire all night in front of him, and his tone seemed very calm.

The shark fin porridge itself is extremely delicious, and it is also cooked with a few pieces of animal offal like in hot pot. The delicate texture of the porridge itself dissolves the greasiness and fishy smell, and you can feel a unique deliciousness when it enters your mouth.

After hearing Tao Yu's words, Anderson was suddenly stunned, and then he shuddered.

What's wrong with you?
Obsessed with money?
Not so!

I made money so that I could build a team more conveniently and for my own promotion, but for some reason, I gradually put the cart before the horse!
I feel like I want to please the other person for some unknown reason. Is it for money?
Anderson shook his head, then thanked Tao Yu sincerely.
"Thank you for your reminder, otherwise I might be in real trouble."

Tao Yu smiled as he looked at Anderson, who had recovered a little.

Although he had restrained his aura, he was after all the Angel King who was a double conqueror. As people on the same path, it was normal for them to have a natural yearning for him.

"This ship may be in some trouble later. If it's convenient, you can help deal with it. Don't worry about me here."

Tao Yu's tone seemed very calm.

His indifference and composure, as well as the fact that he revealed his own condition at the beginning, made Anderson a little solemn.

This boss doesn't look like an ordinary Beyonder!

Even though he had rarely seen the boss use any extraordinary abilities along the way, Anderson had this feeling in his heart now.

And even I, who is at the top of Sequence Five, have this feeling. The boss’s strength is at least not inferior to mine, and he may even be a demigod!

Will there be some trouble later?
Prophecy?
"We are almost entering the Misty Sea. Loen has no port for supply in the Misty Sea, so the activity area is on the Violent Sea side..."

Anderson pondered.

Now that they were "returning" to Intis as Intis, they had to worry more about Loen's fleet.

Although they usually don't attack civilian ships, who knows if a real fight breaks out.

Or maybe we'll encounter pirates...

Pirates active in the foggy sea?
But just as he thought of this, Anderson, as a Sequence 5 Reaper, had already keenly sensed something different and seemed to have vaguely heard the sound of cannon fire.

"I'm going to check on the situation."

Anderson thought of Tao Yu's words and spoke quickly.

Tao Yu, who was still sipping the shark fin porridge, seemed indifferent.

"Go ahead..."

……

Boom~boom~
Two pirate ships, each with its own unique characteristics, continued to fight on the rough sea.

It can be seen that both ships have rich mystical elements. Although they look like sailing ships, their maneuverability exceeds the limit of sailing ships, and they can move in various cunning ways.

The artillery fire from both sides was also quite accurate.

One of the ships was golden in color and had a main gun that looked exaggerated.

There are many runes wrapped around the gun body, which obviously carries a heavy mystical color.

The other ship, the Black Death, was obviously constantly avoiding the direction of the bloated main gun, while constantly launching attacks with its own artillery fire.

This allowed Anderson, who had already climbed up the mast, to recognize the origins of the two pirate ships.

The 'Golden Dream' of Vice Admiral Iceberg, one of the seven great pirate generals.

And Admiral Disease's 'Black Death'!
"Edwina?"

Anderson was a little surprised. He didn't expect to see his old classmate's car here.

Although Anderson's father was from Intis, he used to live mainly in Lunburg, where he was a classmate of Vice Admiral Edwina of Iceberg.

All in all, the seven pirate generals have the shadow of a greater and more extraordinary force behind them to a greater or lesser extent.

Anderson probably knew that behind Vice Admiral Iceberg was Lenburg, and that he even directly served the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Behind the Vice Admiral of Disease on the other side might be the Witch Church.

However, Anderson had heard another piece of news while he was at sea. It seemed that something had happened to Admiral Disease's backer, and her situation was not very good.

But I didn't expect that here, I would see the two sides fighting for no apparent reason, and I didn't know what it was for.

However, Anderson on the mast soon discovered something even bigger was wrong.

Hunter Lu had a keen insight and, with the help of the height of the mast, he saw another seven or eight ships vaguely surrounding them.

With his rich experience, after observing for a while, he quickly understood the forces these ships belonged to!

Admiral of blood, Senior!

According to the original trajectory, Senior would be captured by Klein and become a practical ghost puppet.

But after knowing that the evil god Backlund had appeared, fully surrendered to the Church of Evernight, and learned about the Mother Tree of Desire, Klein tried his best to avoid facing the Rose School.

This also led to the Blood Admiral, who has been active to this day.

And it was obvious that he had now set a trap and encirclement, a trap specifically targeting Vice Admiral Iceberg!

It is very likely that he was working with Vice Admiral Disease to start the current siege.

And now, Senior's fleet has not only surrounded the two ships fighting in front, but has also discovered this merchant ship and is arranging a speedboat to chase it.

Anderson could also feel that the merchant ship wanted to turn, but it was too late.

Although most of the passengers did not understand what was happening, the sailors on the mast had already notified the people below, and it was obvious that the sailors on the ship were a little panicked.

Vice Admiral Iceberg is okay. Although he is a wanted pirate, his reputation is not bad.

But Admiral Blood is truly one of the worst pirates!

"Sir, are you a Beyonder?"

Immediately, a burly sailor came over from under the mast. He was the first mate of the ship.

At this moment, he looked up at Anderson who was observing from above, and shouted loudly without any hesitation.

Judging from his powerful voice and sturdy physique, he should be an extraordinary person.

Anderson could even roughly judge that this was Sequence 8 of the Sailor Path, the Angry People.

Perhaps he also sensed the crisis and wanted to integrate the combat power on the ship.

Not to mention confrontation, at least you can spend money to avoid disaster so that the other party won't do anything excessive.

"I, Anderson Hood."

Anderson fell straight down from the mast and pointed his thumb at himself.

The strongest hunter under the demigod in the Sea of ​​Misty is not called that for nothing.

The first mate also immediately understood who it was and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This guy is no worse than the seven pirate generals!

saved...
