Elsewhere, on the smoke-filled deck of the Black Ink Behemoth, the pirates barely recovered from the shock of the falling mast when they saw a figure emerge from the smoke and dust stirred up by the golden thunder.

——Merlin, dressed in a black suit, was putting on a black silk hat and adjusting the bow tie on his chest.

"Hello, can you ask the captain to come out and talk to me?" He smiled politely.

Merlin didn't even give the pirates time to answer. He plucked the strings with his wand, like a musician conducting a symphony at a ball.

"Boom——" "Boom——" "Boom——"

Every time he plucked a string, a golden thunderbolt would descend from the sky and strike a pirate.

The golden lightning completely ignored the magical shield of the Black Ink Behemoth, and the wizards standing in the ritual circle were unable to play the strings no matter what they did - the shield was ineffective.

When they listened carefully, they were shocked to find that the little tune Merlin hummed had interfered with the strings they used to construct the shield.

——『Reverse chord score』!

This is the demigod who was able to interfere with the strings played by the low-string wizard just by singing a little tune!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Merlin played the strings while dancing lightly and humming a little tune.

Following his melody, pirates one after another were blasted into pieces, turning into flying golden fragments.

"It seems like the principal is having a lot of fun..." Alice put down the telescope and sighed helplessly.

Then, she turned around and ordered:

"fire!"

Due to the commotion on the deck, the "Black Ink Behemoth" temporarily lost its ability to deal with external enemies. This is a perfect opportunity!

Following Alice's orders, the "Royal Executioner" quickly approached, firing continuously.

"Boom——" "Boom——" "Boom——"

The artillery immediately riddled the hull of the Black Ink Behemoth with holes, seawater began to pour in, and the ship tilted slightly to one side.

On the deck, the last few pirates who tried to approach Merlin were also blasted to pieces by the golden thunder and turned into scattered powder.

Merlin glanced around at the pirates who were retreating with terrified expressions, and muttered softly:

"Oh, you're pirates, can't you have some backbone?"

As he spoke, golden light flashed in his eyes and he raised his wand forward.

However, at this moment, a huge wave hit the side of the ship, and the water droplets turned into sharp blades and pierced the deck.

Merlin glanced sideways, waved his hand casually, and a huge air cannon exploded, blocking all the water blades.

"Pfft-"

At the same time, a giant figure emerged from the waves, landed on the deck, and slashed at Merlin with the big knife in his hand.

"call--"

Merlin dodged gracefully with a dance step, and at the same time, he used his wand to fire three consecutive bolts of lightning at the giant shadow.

"Shhh-"

The giant shadow caught the lightning, and suddenly did a backflip and flew up, making the ground creak as it landed on the deck.

Looking at the giant shadow, Merlin smiled gracefully and said:

"Finally showing up? Alemus?"

"Giant Squid" Alemus raised his head. He had only one eye, and an iron nail was nailed in the place of the other eye, which seemed to have pierced directly through his brain.

He stared at Merlin with his one eye, anger gradually appearing on his face:

"Demigod, you have stepped into waters that do not belong to you!"

"You talk as if it belongs to you," Merlin smiled. "I didn't bother you before because you were a good kid, but you seem to be a bit restless lately?"

"We are pirates. We belong to the free sea breeze. Only gold can drive us." The corners of Alemus' mouth twitched exaggeratedly.

Hearing this prosperity, Merlin laughed dumbly and said:

"Gold? I think it's the 'Golden King'? What freedom? What's the difference between you and the slaves in the Erlu Desert? Your skin is whiter?"

"you!"

Alems roared and rushed forward with the huge knife in hand.

At this moment, Merlin opened his eyes and an invisible pressure burst out, suppressing Captain Alemus in place.

The pirate captain was stunned for a long time, as if he didn't know what was going on.

He had never been afraid of anything; not even the dragon in the East China Sea could make him let go of the rudder.

Those hands had driven the Black Ink Behemoth through thousands of storms, and the wrinkles on their hands, like the emblems of storms, had never loosened.

But now, just looking into the eyes of this demigod, Alemus felt that his hands couldn't even hold the knife.

This kind of aura...he had only seen it in two people!

"you..."

Alemus was first shocked, then angry.

Looking at Merlin's faint smile, he roared:

"I've done so much for you! And now! Are you going to attack me?!"

Hearing these words, the smile on Merlin's face did not ripple at all, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Oh, sir, I think you have the wrong person..." he said.

The next second, among the waves above the sea, the two men broke through the wind and rain and made moves at the same time.

Alemus roared and swung the giant blade, and surging water splashed out from the blade, turning into a tsunami-like water blade.

Merlin raised his wand nonchalantly and murmured softly:

"'Lachesis Nocturne'."

At this moment, the Royal Executioner, which was preparing to dock, approached the Black Behemoth. Everyone on the deck saw this scene at the same time.

"boom--"

A twisted golden lightning instantly shot out from Merlin's staff and hit Captain Alemus' chest.

The light was so bright that it seemed as if everything in the world lost its color, and it was accompanied by the power to deprive everything.

The next second, Captain Alames fell headfirst onto the deck and died.

The golden lightning had no fancy effect, it simply deprived him of his destiny and made his spirit dissipate in an instant.

The water condensed on the giant blade suddenly burst out, splashing all over Merlin.

"Aww," Merlin took two steps back in frustration, "I thought I didn't need to shower today."

"..."

A grappling hook shot out from the Royal Executioner, tightly binding the half-sunken Black Behemoth. The crew boarded the pirate ship, but were bewildered to find that there were only a few enemies left.

Alice, Alya, and Vivian boarded the boat at the same time. Alice walked forward and was greeted by Principal Merlin, who looked frustrated.

"Principal...I haven't interrogated him yet..." Alice's mouth twitched slightly.

"It's okay. I predicted it. The compass isn't on the ship." Merlin took off his hat, revealing his unkempt hair. "It should be in the base on the island. Who cares? We'll find it soon anyway."

"Isn't this a bit too high-profile?" Alice was speechless.

If you could kill the pirate captain by yourself, why did you send the Royal Executioner over?

Can't you just row a small wooden boat over here yourself?

"It saves trouble, and also lets our friends see our determination," Merlin said.

He turned his head and looked behind him: the "Black Jackal" was quietly parked in the sea not far away.

The Imperial Ambassador "Scarab" witnessed all of this.

"Alright, let the little guy from the Holy Tree Cult communicate with him. I didn't destroy his soul."

Merlin waved his hand and left, muttering something like "Time to take a shower."

"Go, Alia." Alice ordered from the side.

"Ah."

Alya walked forward, squatted beside Captain Alames's body, and clasped her hands together.

When she opened her eyes again, they were pitch black, and she was praying:

"Ah, the Tree of Life, the cradle of all creation."

......

Xingmo woke up from her dream and was greeted by a slightly dark room.

She raised her left hand and saw the mark of the "Tree of Life" flickering on the back of her hand.

This means that someone who also bears the mark is calling her.

"Ah...it's actually this time..."

Xingmo rubbed her messy hair, closed her eyes, and lay down again.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already in a pitch-black space.

This is a dream.

Not far away, Arya, dressed in a black robe, was standing with a man with a blurry face lying at her feet.

Xing Mo walked forward, glanced at the man, and asked:

"Is this the pirate captain you are hunting?"

"That's right, Miss Saint, thank you for your help." Alia lowered her head slightly.

Xing Mo nodded, then drew out his wand and gently tapped the air -

"Om-"

The Dark String was activated, and Captain Alemus's body suddenly exploded, turning into colorful blocks.

Most of those color blocks quickly lightened after they appeared, and only a few became darker.

Xingmo stuck his wand into one of the patches, and a chaotic phantom flashed by: it was Captain Alames standing alone in a room, putting something into a drawer.

"That's the compass you are looking for." Xing Mo said.

"Thank you," Arya noted the location. "You've been away from the Citadel for half a month. I hope everything is well with you and the Prophet."

"Well, we are doing pretty well indeed." Xing Mo rubbed the corners of his eyes, trying to wipe away the sleepiness.

In a blink of an eye, it has been half a month since I came to Winter County. Time flies so fast.

In the past half month, as the only person who can fight against "nightmare syndrome", the reputation of "Dr. Jie Deti" has gradually spread.

The space in one ward was no longer enough, so Xingmo specially arranged for a maid to convert the underground wine cellar into a ward to accommodate more patients.

At this moment, six or seven patients suffering from nightmares are receiving treatment in the cellar.

As her reputation grew, Xingmo gradually came into contact with the upper circles of Dongdong County, and she cured the daughter of a local businessman.

The expansion of her social circle gave Xingmo more room to maneuver.

"Have you remembered the position of the compass?" Xing Mo asked.

"I remember it clearly." Alia nodded slightly.

"Then go back quickly and tell senior sister that everything is fine." Xingmo smiled.

Little Alia nodded again, and her body gradually disappeared.

Just as Xingmo was about to exit the dream, suddenly, fragments of Captain Alemus's memory flashed.

She subconsciously turned her head and found that her soul seemed to resonate with the fragments.

"This is..."
