Even if Raymond didn't guess what the "parting gift" was to Ilya, he got double the girl's reward.

After the joy, there is a feeling of loss again.

After all, as she said, this night was a parting gift.

Early the next morning, Ilya took the two golden statues of the six-armed Enma and left the hot spring inn.

Raymond felt like he had lost something important, empty.

......

Three days later.

There was no snow today, and it was a rare sunny day of the year.

Hippocrates is the capital of the "Kingdom of Orens", consisting of more than fifty steam ship islands.

The inner city was mostly populated by the kingdom, and was home to a large number of doctors and institutes.

Most of the migrants are concentrated in the marginal urban areas.

Pirates and adventurers alike like like gather in the 47th District to heal their injuries or recruit the ship's doctors...

So, there are also a lot of pirate taverns in this area.

Raymond, with his cloak covering his face, walked into a pirate tavern with a sign that read "Hyacinth Tavern" and sat down by a window on the second floor.

Looking out of the window, there is a house with "Red Cross" paint on the walls in the distance.

It looks rusty, but Raymond knows it's a secret hospital with cutting-edge medical equipment.

Intelligence shows that the [Elephant Emperor] Taimo is treating his injuries there.

And today, Ilya will be there, hunting down the "Endless Eight Emperors"!

......

It's early afternoon, and the tavern isn't as crowded as it is at night, and it's not too noisy.

Raymond asked for a piece of gold rum, leaned quietly against the window, and took a sip of wine from time to time. The deliberately lowered brim of his hat hid his deep gaze, and he could occasionally hear a voice like fine lines muttering: "I hope the day goes well..."

Today is not only the day when Elijah hunts the [Elephant Emperor] Taimo, but also the day when the "Ghost Regiment" also plans to take advantage of the chaos to rescue Lulu's parents.

......

A few hours ago, in the hot spring tavern, everyone from the "Ghost Troupe" gathered in one room.

Raymond laid out today's rescue plan, and Anna, Thor, Lulu, Colin, and Fat Cat listened with serious expressions.

"Purr, stone, Colin... You take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Institute. If my information is correct, enter the three coded doors of the secret detention chamber, the codes are '332420', '355663', '435345'..."

"This is the detailed layout of the laboratory, and I have set two routes for you, one forward and one backward. If you don't make sure your parents are there, it's best not to attract the attention of the guards..."

"This time, there will definitely be the top masters of the world's government. I'm going to make a stir out there and attract the masters of the world's governments... When the time comes, you will see the opportunity..."

“...”

No one doubted how Raymond had gotten the information, or where the access codes came from, even the lab members didn't know.

The Ghost Troupe, their captain, has an absolute trust.

Past facts have also proved that Raymond is also trustworthy.

Of course, passwords and anything else are really not intelligence.

Even Arnold, the captain of CP9, didn't know what the access code was that only the insiders of the laboratory knew.

But in the game, the secret laboratory of the World Mansion has few secrets for players. Whether it's the access code or the design of the secret lab, there is detailed information on the game forum.

This is also one of the reasons why Raymond dared to let Lulu and them sneak into the laboratory to rescue them this time.

Of course, the most important thing is that the helpers sent by the carpone boss are in place!

Raymond's plan is very simple, that is, to create a movement in the city first, and lure out the ambush masters of the World Mansion first.

After all, his threat level in CP9 headquarters has now been raised to "S+", and once his whereabouts are leaked, the trouble that comes to him must be the top combat power around Sequence 0.

The Endless Sea is so big, and those high-level combat forces of the World Mansion will not be idle for a day to squat him as a "newcomer". As long as there is one, the garrison on the side of the laboratory where Lulu's parents are imprisoned will definitely be much less.

Coupled with the laboratory materials in his memories from his previous life, the chances of rescuing the hostages would be much higher if they sneaked in secretly.

......

There are masters sent by the Capone boss, and the rescue plan is not much to worry about Raymond.

He was more worried about Ilya's decapitation.

"Endless Eight Emperors", this is the existence of the Navy Headquarters for many years, and many people will tremble when they mention it...

Hunting this legendary sea thief is a crazy plan that many people can't even think of.

What's more, there are many captains and elite members of the [Elephant Emperor] regiment in this city... It was a superpower capable of destroying a mighty nation.

Before you know it, most of the rum in the glass has been poured down.

"It's time..."

From time to time, Raymond looked at the clock hands on the wall, and the "ticking" hands announced that a terrible battle was about to break out in the city.

This is bound to be a big battle that will go down in history.

As for the rules of "forbidden arms" in the city, it is like the law of the kingdom, which is more used to bind the commoners and low-ranking lords, and the high-ranking nobles are beyond the law.

The reason why there are few people in the city who use force on weekdays is that low-level transcendents can't, while high-level transcendents with superior strength are more observant of tacit understanding.

A top master like Ilya, who is at the level of "His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas", even if she really breaks this rule, at most she will be verbally reprimanded, who can really do anything to her?

As for the boycott of the profession of doctors all over the world, she doesn't care at all about her, the high priestess of Nyx.

......

Raymond seemed to be wandering in the world, but the movements around him were all in perception, and at this moment, some gossip suddenly came into his ears and caught his attention.

The tavern was full of dragons and snakes, including yellow-toothed and black-faced sailors with muskets attached. 、

After drinking, one by one they became troubadour-like talkative, blowing nonsense about the gossip they heard everywhere.

"Hey, hey, hey... Have you heard that Raymond, the captain of the 'Ghost Regiment', has recently been in Hippocrates! ”

"Is that the 'Pirate Supernova' who has been in the limelight lately?"

"What a supernova! Now that [ghost] Raymond is a sea thief at the captain level of the 'Endless Eight Emperors'. Which 'supernova' dares and has the strength to slaughter the [Elephant Emperor] a whole team? ”

"Hehe, let me tell you, the sea area of 'Konitz Sea' was more exciting than in the newspapers. I have a brother-in-law who is a peripheral member of the Flamingo Rhine..."

“...”

As soon as Raymond heard it, his name appeared on everyone's lips, and he was also a little interested.

But at the same time, he was also shocked, he had not yet revealed his traces when he came secretly, how did these guys know?

Could it be that I was exposed at some point inadvertently?

If it weren't for it, he didn't feel any hostile prompts after seeing and hearing the domineering release, and he even thought that his infiltration plan had already been discovered by the spy officers of the World Mansion.

Raymond was puzzled, but when he heard it again, his face immediately became strange.

"I'll tell you... Top Secret News! [Ghost] Raymond is planning to recruit members in Hippocrates City, I heard that the [Blood Emperor] Capone is going to set up a new team, and this Raymond is the new captain..."

"Ah, can you become an official member of the captain of the 'Endless Eight Emperors'? What a great opportunity! If you can join that legendary fleet, you can have the world's top resources, top extraordinary potions, equipment, and martial arts inheritance... You can get it..."

"What are the requirements for [Ghost] Raymond to recruit crew members? Like the transcendent rank or something? ”

"That's not it... I heard that Raymond raised military expenses for the war for Capone again, and the conditions for joining their 'Ghost Pirates' are very lenient, and each person needs a hundred gold coins..."

"A hundred gold coins? That's a million quarks, and that's a lot..."

"Humph! A million quarks can buy a chance to join the fleet of the 'Endless Eight Emperors', is that too much? Let me tell you, as far as I know, there are thousands of people who have signed up for the 'Blue Rhino Collar' next door, and everyone is fighting to go. This Raymond doesn't know how many days to stay in Hippocrates City, and he is slow to shoot, I'm afraid he doesn't have a chance yet..."

“...”

The more Raymond listened, the more wrong it became.

The Capone boss wants to set up a new team, why haven't I heard?

And also... When will I start recruiting members and will there be a fee?

This rumor is still decent, saying that it is to raise military funds for Capone?

How does this sound like a pyramid scheme fraud ring?

"No one will use my name to fool around, right?"

With many question marks in his heart, Raymond twitched his face and vaguely guessed something.

Probably, I met the "Li Ghost Group" again.

Ever since the "Ghost Regiment" made a fuss in the "City of Eternal Night" Eleudnes and appeared in the newspapers as "Pirate Supernova", there have been many imitations of them.

From ships to people, imitators do everything.

But after all, as his strength soared, the threshold for imitation became higher and higher... The Navy's bounty notice also has high-definition photos and information of him, and it stands to reason that it is not difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

But those pirates don't seem to be telling lies, and thousands of people are really fooled?

This Hippocrates City is not a remote sea, what the hell is going on?

......

Raymond listened with a question mark on his face, and he was still hesitating whether to come up and ask clearly, something even more bizarre happened!

The pirate who helped boast about the "recruitment conditions" was like a brag, and as soon as the atmosphere of hunger marketing was created, the main owner actually appeared immediately!

Pirate A: "Look, who's that!" ”

Pirate B: "It's really... A bounty of 888,800 [Ghost] Raymond! ”

Some people also questioned: "It can't be fake, right?" ”

Pirate C: "There's no way there's anything wrong with that!" Don't you see his wanted notice on the wall, it's exactly the same! And... Just this coercion, it is definitely the coercion of the top powerhouse... This [ghost] Raymond is really like the legend, with the combat power of the captain level of the Eight Emperors! ”

A certain pirate offered a reward of more than 100 million: "Not bad! Before, I suspected that the newspapers exaggerated Raymond's strength, but now it seems... I'm afraid it's underestimated! I also have a bounty of more than 100 million, which is considered the best in Sequence 3, and I was a little out of breath by his momentum..."

"I also feel tightness in my chest, that Raymond's momentum is too strong..."

“...”

As soon as he appeared, the "Raymond" who stepped into the tavern attracted everyone's attention.

It's really that his momentum is too terrifying, and when it is released, the air in the tavern seems to be stagnant, making it difficult to breathe.

Even Raymond himself beside the bed was surprised when he looked at the guy who looked exactly like himself!

The long sword is at the waist, the sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, chic and dignified, a handsome horse... (Ray's first view.) ）

It's like looking in the mirror, it's exactly the same!

Even, the kind of coercion exuded by that guy is more like the description of [Ghost] Raymond in the newspaper than his own deity, the absolute coercion of a top powerhouse.

For a moment, even Raymond himself was suspicious... Could it be that you are a fake?

"Bartender, have a golden rum..."

Fake Raymond shook his hand and walked towards the tavern bar with a blank face.

He took step by step, as if an invisible force pushed him, so that the pirates who were originally sitting around the bar involuntarily gave up the "C position".

This "fake Raymond" didn't speak, sat on the bar, and always maintained a top-notch and extraordinary cold temperament.

As he accompanied him, a red-haired woman spoke at the right time and asked pretendedly, "Captain, how long are we going to stay in this city of Hippocrates?" ”

"About two or three days..."

"Fake Raymond" continued the topic, and said: "Lord Capone's side is fighting, there are not enough doctors in the regiment, I want to recruit some doctors, and by the way, recruit some talented crew members to raise some military expenses..."

“...”

The two of them chatted one by one, after joining, the top resources of the members of the group should be sufficient, and the martial arts, exercises, potions, and equipment were all transferred from the headquarters of the [Blood Emperor] regiment...

Suddenly, it seems that a hundred gold coins can buy an "ultimate gift package", and you can reach the sky in one step!

It's an absolute good thing for anyone to come.

......

When the people in the tavern heard this, their faces suddenly became wonderful.

Sure enough, Boss Raymond is here to recruit the crew!

can look at the excitement and look at the excitement, if it is really your turn to pay for it, some people will inevitably be suspicious.

"It's really exactly the same as on the wanted list, and there is no doubt about confirming the deity..."

"But it's too much of a coincidence..."

"A hundred gold coins is a lot, most of my belongings are gone, will there be any problems..."

“...”

Under normal circumstances, people who are a little sensible will probably suspect this, and they will definitely not pay so neatly.

After all, joining the "Endless Eight Emperors" fleet with a hundred gold coins is a bit mysterious no matter how you hear it.

But if there are a few "nurseries" in the crowd who have been hidden in advance, it becomes much easier to cheat.

"Liars? The [Blood Emperor] of the Endless Eight Emperors will lose his reputation for your 100 gold coins? ”

"Then Raymond is confirmed by the World General Government, and the descendants of the [Blood Emperor] Capone will be able to afford your money?"

"You guys talk slowly, there aren't many opportunities, I'll sign up first!"

"I went too... Who, lend me a few gold coins, I'm still a little close..."

"I, I, I... Count me in, I'm going to sign up too! ”

“...”

Under the performance of a group of nurses, the atmosphere in the tavern immediately became enthusiastic.

It's very similar to Raymond's previous life, those real estate companies asked their children to queue up overnight to buy a house.

Holding up the money bags one by one, they made a "bang", for fear that when it was their turn, the opportunity would be gone, and they would be "hungry and thirsty".

Not long after this, not only the "Hyacinth Tavern", but even all the nearby taverns heard the news. One by one, pirates with money bags frantically poured into the tavern...

The news of the appearance of the "Ghost Regiment" in the medical capital spread throughout Hippocrates City in a short period of time like wings.

It's not just the pirates and adventurers who got the news, but also the intelligence departments of the major forces, the [Elephant Emperor] Regiment, CP9, the Navy, the Harris Royal Family...

......

", ring by ring, this method is really professional..."

Raymond, who was sitting by the window, looked at the recruitment drama staged in front of him, and his expression became more and more strange.

But he didn't intervene to stop it, but continued to watch it with great interest.

The purpose of his coming to the tavern today is not only to watch the battle, but the most important thing is to find an opportunity to expose his existence when the chaos arises, so that people from the World Mansion can come to him.

Before, he was thinking about how to attract the attention of the World Council to him in a short period of time, and it would not be too deliberate.

It's good now...

This "fake Raymond" did everything he wanted to do and successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Someone does it for him, and he is happy to watch the excitement.

Raymond ignored the people who poured into the tavern, didn't mean to reveal the truth, and continued to drink.

However, there is one thing that is not so pleasant.

He had only been warm with Anna last night, and now he looked at the red-haired woman in the gang of crooks, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "That crook looks exactly like me, but this 'Anna' looks a little stumbling..."

Spit and complain, but I have to say that this is a very professional team of liars in front of me.

It's a pity...

The famous [Imitation Fruit] made the previous "King of the Seven Martial Seas" Murphy, but now it has become a means for liars to deceive.

It's ironic to think about.
