Chapter Seventy-Nine: Exchanging Messages
"Justice" Audrey was quite interested in the matter of the pirate general, and asked cooperatively:
"What's his name, what's his current title? There has been no similar news circulating in Beckland. ”
"The Hanged Man," Alger nodded slowly:
"She's a lady, a famous pirate in the past, 'Sick Maiden' Tracy, you should have heard of it, right?"
"No, I don't know much about that. Audrey shook her head honestly.
Me too...... Klein, the "fool" who was at the top, echoed in his heart.
Alger was silent for two seconds, didn't waste time to explain, and said directly:
"In short, she subdued Ziringus' fleet last month and proved that she had the strength of a pirate general by renaming Zilingus's ship 'Black Death' and calling herself 'Lieutenant General Sick'. ”
"She used to be a loner, she was good at using curses, black fire, frost, and people who were hostile to her always had sudden illnesses, all kinds of diseases, no one knew which path she belonged to, but they all determined that she was at the level of Sequence 5. ”
"Justice" Audrey listened with relish, blinked her eyes, and asked curiously:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man', can you tell us more about the four pirate kings and the other six pirate generals? I've only heard of their names and nicknames, and I don't know what extraordinary abilities they possess. ”
Alger looked around and saw that both the "sun" and the "world" were in a posture of listening, so he bowed his head lightly:
"No problem. ”
"The most powerful pirate king is the 'King of the Five Seas' Naster, who claims to be a descendant of the Solomon Empire in the Quaternary Age, not only is he a high-order powerhouse, but also has the terrifying ghost ship 'Black Emperor' left behind by the empire, he is good at using order, can pull enemies into the field he is best at fighting, and create all kinds of unbelievable effects......"
He is also the oldest pirate, and it is said that he has been active in the five seas more than a hundred years ago, in the post-Russell era, and no one knows how old he is. ”
"Of course, he has more information than another king of pirates, and we only know that the owner of the Dawn is a beautiful woman, once a wizard, and now she has also entered the realm of demigods and half-humans, and her title is the 'Queen of Mysteries'. ”
......
After introducing the "Four Kings", "The Hanged Man" Alger turned the conversation to the remaining six pirate generals:
"Ludwell, the owner of the Black Tulip, was once a subordinate of the 'King of the Five Seas' and later became independent, calling himself the 'Admiral of Hell', and is rumored to have established some connection to the Spirit Order, he is a powerful psychic who can drive all kinds of spirit creatures, which is terrifying and eerie, and is said to have a ring left behind by the ancient god of death. ”
"The 'Star Admiral' Gardelia once followed the 'Mystic Queen', but the two sides came close to breaking up a long time ago, and the reason for this is rumored at sea is that she joined a secret organization that angered the 'Mystic Queen', and according to the information I received, this secret organization is the 'Morse Ascetic'. ”
Morse Ascetic ...... "voyeur" approach...... Hidden Sage...... Klein Huo Ran thought of Old Neil's loss of control, and thought of the evil god who would whisper temptation in the ears of the same path low-order extraordinary.
It was the first time he had learned of the Morse Ascetic in reality, not in books!
Next, "The Hanged Man" Alger introduced the "Blood Admiral" Señol, who is suspected of being a non-human spirit, the "Deep Sea Lieutenant General" Hal Konstantin, who has part of the blood of a sea monster, the self-proclaimed "Iceberg Lieutenant General" Edwena Edwards, and the "Twilight Lieutenant General" Bratov Ivan.
"Thank you very much for sharing, I am beginning to yearn for the sea when I hear it. "Justice," Audrey said expectantly, "I don't know when I'll be able to actually travel." ”
"No, Miss 'Justice', it's definitely not as rosy as you think, it seems to me a combination of blood, chaos, killing, lust, and fear. Alger quietly poured cold water on him.
Audrey nodded, and then said:
"There was a recent serial murder in Beckland, a total of 11 cases, but one of them was confirmed to be a copycat crime, and this serial murder case is characterized by targeting women who used to be street girls but now have regular jobs, and the killer would cut open their abdomen and remove all the internal organs. ”
"That sounds like it has something to do with the worship of demons, the Blood-worshippers did?" "The Hanged Man" Alger made an instant guess.
"I don't know, I haven't found the killer yet. "Audrey can't wait to become a detective and take Susie with her to get that hateful guy out.
At this moment, "Sun" Derick blurted out in a daze:
"I know this ritual. ”
He knew, too, before the Cataclysm, especially in the Second Age, demons were active in the real world, on the earth, and were the objects of hatred of the two major forces of giants and dragons, and it was normal for the Silver City to have corresponding records...... Their history has not been hidden, tampered with, or broken...... Klein looked thoughtfully at the "sun," waiting for him to say more.
"You know?" said Audrey, delightedly.
Derick nodded:
"As mentioned in our 'Demon Studies' textbook, it is quite ancient, and it is a ritual used by demons to assist in their promotion, and it often appears in Sequence 6 and Sequence 5. ”
"Not a ritual to please the demon, but a ritual that the demon uses to assist in his promotion?" asked Audrey, surprised.
Derrick replied very seriously:
"Yes, sequence 6 of the 'Abyssal' path is called 'Demons', which is where the name of their clan comes from. ”
Before the Cataclysm, the "Demon" path was called the "Abyss" pathway, and "Demon" was just the name of Sequence 6...... Don't...... Sequence 0, Abyss? Klein once again discovers the value of the "Sun" classmate.
A lot of knowledge and secrets that have been dissipated in the long river of history are still in the Silver City!
"That's right......" Audrey bowed her head invisibly, "Mr. Sun, do you know the specifics of this ritual?"
Darek nodded and said:
"The minimum is 13 people and the maximum is 49, and the more complete the ceremony, the more hopeful it is to be promoted. ”
"Between killings, there should be at least three days apart, otherwise it is easy to get out of control, but the interval should not exceed nine days, which will reset the ritual. ”
"After every killing, after every ritual, the demon eats the victim's internal organs, and from then on, he will remain in a state of irritability, bloodthirsty, wanting to hurt others, until that desire is satisfied again. ”
"It's horrible......" Audrey sighed heartily, feeling that she couldn't even bear to imagine it.
Crane sat in the thick gray mist, silently listening, remembering in his heart.
After discussing the serial murders, Audrey "Justice" looked at Alger and organized the following words:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man', there is one thing that I have always had some doubts about. ”
"I've been to several Extraordinary gatherings, and I've found that very few people sell potion formulas, and even if they do, it's hard to get a deal, why?"
"Hanged man," Alger chuckled:
"Because potion recipes are easy to fake, and the Extraordinary Gatherings are relatively hidden and not very binding, no one dares to risk their own lives, can you still prepare two extraordinary materials and experiment with animals first? ”
"......" Audrey suddenly felt a little weak.
"Moreover, the additional cost is not only this, after taking the potion, animals are more likely to lose control than humans, and you have to ask a few more extraordinary people to protect themselves from dying in the experiment, so for most extraordinary people, even if there is a formula, they dare not buy it. Alger added.
"......" Audrey became even more empty-hearted.
"The Hanged Man" Alger didn't notice her reaction and continued:
Because of this, unless the owner of the party or a member of the party has the ability to distinguish between the authenticity and the fakeness of the potion formula, and has earned the trust of most of the members, it is difficult to trade the recipe. ”
Well, the "Eye of Wisdom" old gentleman can ...... Mr. A is a shepherd, so he should be able to do the same...... Crane leaned back in his chair and muttered to himself without opening his mouth.
"Justice" Audrey thought flashed and asked casually:
"Can't it be done by making a vow?"
"Dear Miss, this is an underground gathering to make an oath in the name of the seven orthodox gods, do you think it is appropriate? "The Hanged Man," said Alger with a low chuckle, "As for the evil gods and demons and secret beings such as the 'Hidden Sage' and the 'True Creator', who is not their believers, who dares to swear in their name that they will not die fast enough?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed:
"In addition, if you don't know the 'playing method', the potion is easy to cause loss of control, and it is easy to turn people into monsters, and the corresponding materials are difficult to obtain and quite expensive, so as long as the seven major churches do not allow similar transactions to be officially certified, there is no need to deliberately control the potion formula to be circulated on a large scale, let alone popularized. ”
"......I see," Audrey whispered to herself, relieving a great doubt.
No wonder...... Klein was also stunned.
The Seven Orthodox Deities?, "The Sun" Deric, was tempted to ask which of the seven there were, but in the end he cautiously held back.
He thought about it for a moment and said:
"Silver City recently organized an exploration into the depths of darkness and discovered a half-ruined temple that enshrined a statue of a naked man crucified upside down, with blood on its surface. ”
"Do you know which god this is?"
This is ...... "true creator"! There is actually a temple of "true creator" in the land forsaken by God! And looking at the meaning of "sun", there should not have been a "true creator" before the cataclysm, otherwise, it would be impossible for Silver City not to recognize it! Crane used the ability of "clown" to control his expression and not let the astonishment be revealed.
"Justice" Audrey, "Hanged Man" and "World" each glanced at each other, and then they all shook their heads and said:
"We don't know. ”
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard Mr. "Fool" in the gray mist say in a low voice:
"This is the 'fallen Creator.'" ”
