Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

First he encountered a ghost ship, then he was entangled by seaweed, then he encountered a sea giant, and then he was almost sucked into a whirlpool. Now he encountered Norman Langdon, the Shaman King who was famous for his gloomy, tough and unreasonable nature... Isn't it too unlucky to encounter so many things in a row in just one hour?

Norman Langdon was no ordinary man. Although he was not known for his bloodthirstiness, many civilians and merchants had died at his hands. He was also one of only two pirates in the pirate kingdom with the title of earl. He was also the pirate with the toughest stance against official forces. When operating in the northern waters, he had attacked many official West Falik fleets. If he encountered the Thorn at this time, he would most likely not give up the opportunity to attack.

As if making some connection, Smith Hall couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Zhou Ning, who was looking thoughtfully at the ship ahead. His expression was neither funny nor sad. He was still worried, but the other party didn't even seem afraid. Instead, he put his hat back on.

If I remember correctly, this guy is a notorious unlucky guy. Whoever he touches is unlucky, and wherever he goes, he falls into trouble. I was just careless.

"Are you sure you can deal with him? We may need your help." Smith Hall said with a curl of his lips.

The moment the sound came, the panel issued a prompt at the same time:

[You trigger the emergency mission [Guarding the Thorn]]

[Mission Description: For some reason, the Shaman King Norman Langdon has set his sights on the Thorn, where you are, and wants to capture all the passengers. Assist Smith Hall in repelling or killing Norman Langdon. To some extent, your fates are closely linked.]

[Mission requirements: Repel Norman Langdon and his Elemental King, and defend the Thorn]

[Reward: 450W experience, random reward*1]

"I think I'm 70% to 80% sure." Zhou Ning didn't brag and accepted the mission without hesitation. He hadn't imagined that this bad luck wouldn't end there. In his previous life, he had heard of the name of Norman Langdon, the "Shaman King." In that past life, Norman Langdon was the first "King" pirate to appear before the players. In the pirate port of Grant Island, which was later converted into a team dungeon, he was the final boss.

As his name suggests, Norman Langdon was a demigod-level shaman. His bounty in the Kingdom of Westfalik reached 192500 Victa, ranking second among the Pirate Kings. Zhou Ning wanted to use his most impressive figure of 19.25 Victa as a proxy, but felt that was too rude.

His flagship, the "King of Elements", is a typical alchemical ship. The entire ship has been refined and covered with alchemical arrays. It not only has "basic" functions such as flight, acceleration, fire resistance, and bulletproof, but also has a unique alchemical totem cannon. After one use, it requires seven thunder shamans to charge, which is very powerful.

He is also the confidant of Valentine, the pirate emperor of the North, a "confidant" in the truest sense of the word, because according to the background setting of the game, it is said that Valentine has a miracle item, which is a box, in which the heart of his loyal subordinate is locked, a bit like the Dead Man's Chest in Pirates of the Caribbean, but its specific function is unknown.

In every sense, he perfectly meets his hunting requirements, but it is not so easy for him to complete the hunt. As a demigod, 1925, no, Norman Langdon must have his own trump card.

Time slipped by quietly as Zhou Ning, seemingly calm but actually tense, stared ahead at the "Elemental King." Robinson Crusoe finally steered his ship away from the whirlpool and back onto safe course. But immediately, he spotted the ship charging straight toward him. He gaped in amazement, hissing loudly.

At the same time, a mirror-like image suddenly appeared in the air, reflecting the scene on the Thorn.

This was the Shaman's skill: Elemental Vision, which allowed for long-range spying. It seemed this Norman Langdon wasn't as tough as the legend claimed, daring to attack without any prior investigation. Unfortunately, Zhou Ning had already "seen" this with his Observation Haki and quietly activated Concealment, avoiding detection by the Elemental Vision.

Unlike the battle with the sea giant just now, hunting requires all-out efforts!

The distance between the two sides was unknowingly shortened. Through his expertise in ultra-long-range vision, Zhou Ning suddenly noticed that on the Elemental King in the distance, their captain, the "Shaman King" Norman Langdon, was silently staring at the Thorn opposite.

Just like in his memories of his previous life, he was wearing a conspicuous red captain's coat, a Byronic-style white pirate shirt underneath, all buttons fastened, and a staff with intricate patterns tightly grasped in his hand, indicating that his profession was not a melee fighter but a spellcaster. However, his height was almost 4 meters, which meant that his race was a giant or he had the blood of a giant.

At this moment, the terrifying demigod slowly raised his hand, and suddenly a strong wind blew up.

At sea, a shaman's role is, to some extent, greater than that of a meteorologist, as he can control the wind. With a favorable wind, the Elemental King's speed remained unabated. During this process, the distance measurement seemed to become disrupted. Within ten seconds, it had crashed directly into the Thorn's attack range. The power of the demigod was fully displayed.

The opponent's alchemical sails began to rotate flexibly, automatically adjusting the direction of the sails according to the wind direction, and dozens of cannons on the opponent's side also began to turn their muzzles, aiming at the "Thorn", and suddenly opened fire following Norman Langdon's order.

Zhou Ning secretly gathered his strength and was about to use the power of the Phoenix Fruit to fly to the other side, but he saw Smith Hall, who was still in the clan training state, push out his palm and chant:

"No shelling allowed here!"

The rain-like shells seemed to be restricted by some rules, and they solidified in the air and stayed in place.

The next second, Smith Hall read out the second half of the sentence: "Violators will be punished!"

The shells in the air instantly returned to the same path and bombarded the "King of Elements" from which they came.

Boom! Boom!

A burst of fire flew up, and a large amount of smoke covered the hull of the "King of Elements".

Zhou Ning took a breath silently. No matter how many times he watched it, the command ability of the Church of the God of War always amazed him. It was so effective. And if he was not mistaken, judging from his performance, Smith Hall's ability should be the best among the Sons of the Planes. He had reached the super-level peak and was infinitely close to a demigod.

The reason he agreed to wade into this murky waters was not only because he truly needed godhood and was about to engage in a decisive battle with Little Broken Book, but also because the Church of the God of War offered him the opportunity to create its own laws. He hadn't yet decided on the specifics of what he would create, but he had to be cautious so he could turn the tide of battle when necessary.

As Zhou Ning sighed, the King of Elements stopped firing. The smoke surrounding it dissipated, revealing its undamaged hull. On the contrary, its speed continued to increase, shortening the distance between the two ships at almost the speed of flying.

The distance between the two sides was closing rapidly, and everyone could notice that many pirates on the "Lord of Elements" had been waiting patiently on the side of the ship as ordered, ready to use the strong wind to "jump" onto the "prey" on the opposite side after the distance was shortened.

On the Thorn, Smith Hall clenched his sword and said in a deep voice:

"The opponent is the Shaman King Norman Langdon. Laws targeting natural magic are useless against him. Use laws that reduce mystical magic."

Wait, what's going on?

Smith Hall was shocked to feel a sudden gust of wind blowing beside him. He looked to his side instinctively and saw black floating spheres appearing around Zhou Ning's body one after another, forming a circle and slowly floating behind him.

At this moment, everyone felt an instinctive shudder.

Zhou Ning stretched out his hand, and a dazzling multicolored light flashed between his palms. At the same time, he began to communicate with a certain existence in a certain time and space. This was the first time that he summoned the Sky Dragon of Osiris with the help of an on-site seal without temporarily borrowing his mental power.

He believed that in the form of the Dao-Seeking Jade, it was entirely possible for him to do this.

The first time, he failed. The second time, he failed again, just by a hair's breadth. But the light in his hand grew stronger and stronger.

It was not until the fourth time that his stand ability finally touched a certain existence. He raised his left palm as if he was lifting something extremely heavy, and slammed it down heavily. A shining beam of light fell from the sky.

"When the sky thunders and chaos reigns, gather the ancient grimoires within the chain and their power becomes limitless! Descend! Sky Dragon of Osiris!"
