Chapter 54: Speculation

"First of all, then." Finn stared at Mogordo's eyeballs, "Your name?" ”

"Mo, Mogordo." The voice stammered, but answered anyway.

"Identity?" The young paladin asked.

"The Captain's ...... It's just a small staff officer. The hunchbacked pirate wizard pursed his lips, "Of course, if you ask me about my profession, I'm a wizard...... Well, I mean a little better than an apprentice. ”

"What did Redbeard give you orders?"

"Grab a few spellcasters, or young women with caster potential, and return to the ship."

"Female spellcasters?" A pair of eyebrows furrowed slightly in Finn's eye sockets.

Spellcasters, women, or younger?

What does that pirate captain want? - He couldn't help but be suspicious.

Of course, Fain still has too little information at hand, so he is not in a hurry to speculate on the purpose of Redbeard Jackson, but continues to intimidate and interrogate Mogordo.

He refocused his somewhat distracted gaze on the pirate wizard's eyes and continued, "What is the purpose of your captain?" Or rather, what is the purpose of that order he gave you? ”

However,

"This ......" Mogordo was stunned, "I don't know much about this. ”

"Really?" Fein tugged at Mogordo's collar a little tighter, the knuckles of his fist squeezing the skin of the latter's neck at the throat slightly dented.

"Really, really, I'm definitely not lying!" The pirate wizard was afraid that the young paladin would tear him apart on the spot, "Lord Paladin, you have to believe me, my life is still in your hands!" ”

Inadvertently, he also subconsciously used honorifics for Finn, replacing the previous "sir" with "adult".

Finn looked into Mogordo's eyes, and it didn't seem like Mogodo's cowardice was lying.

If this pirate wizard's acting skills have reached this point, then he can only admit that he was so concealed by the other party.

After a while, Finn recalled the diary he had searched from the Black Knight Co. Vogart, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

So, he changed his question and said to Mogordo, "Recently, have there been any strange people around Redbeard?" ”

After all, while Mogordo is a spellcaster talent that is not common in pirate gangs, it is not difficult to explain that Redbeard Jackson is hiding something from him.

But even so, there's no way for Redbeard Jackson to deceive the pirate wizard's eyes, right?

Co'vogart's diary mentions that the vampire camp of the Dark Alliance sent a noble secret envoy to get in touch with Redbeard Jackson. If the emissary had been seen in the Misty Isles on a regular basis, Finn was sure that Mogordo, no matter how sluggish he was, would have noticed it.

"Strange people?" Sure enough, the hunchbacked pirate wizard was stunned, and then seemed to remember something.

Mogordo's eyes rolled in his sockets, and Finn's preoccupied gaze immediately noticed this detail, and immediately demanded without giving the former a chance to react and think, "Tell me, who is that person?!" ”

"Ah don't, don't be so fierce! Let me think! Mogodo almost closed his eyes and screamed.

After a few seconds, he thought about it with trembling lips, and then replied to Finn, "That man's name, it seems to be called...... Base... Kiel... Rivers? ”

"Kiel Rivers." Finn helped him knead the stammering fields together, "Is that the name?" ”

"Ahh Yes, it seems to be. ”

The pirate wizard hesitated, then nodded.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, yes......"

"Huh?"

The young paladin lifted the Whistling Blade slightly.

"Oh no! I mean, I'm sure - very sure! ”

The pirate wizard nodded like garlic.

Hearing Mogodo's confirmatory words, Finn quickly flipped through the memories of his previous life in his mind, and a tricky feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

Red Lord Kill Rivers......

The future vampire warlord, the right-hand man of the Blood Queen Cosette, and the ruthless character known as the Scarlet Twin Walls along with the Blood Sword Saint Raymond during the Demon Tide War.

The secret envoy of the Bloodline mentioned in Co'Vodgart's diary is actually him?

"Wait, Mogordo just said that Redbeard Jackson was looking for a young spellcaster woman?" Connected to the appearance of Kilrivers, Finn's brain was working quickly and efficiently, and he soon realized another terrible thing.

Caster Potential, Female, Young...... Plus a proper transformation ritual.

These four premises just meet the conditions for the birth of another thing.

"Scarlet Bride......" Finn whispered the name of the thing in his heart, "It turns out that the Dark Alliance began to test produce this monster in 460 of the Quaternary Age?" ”

In the realm of the undead, the low-level undead have always been the servants of the high-level undead, but this does not mean that all high-level undead are opponents of any low-level undead.

For example, having enough time to grow to her full form, a Blood Servant known as the strongest low-level undead, is enough to give many of the Evil Warriors under the command of Skeleda Leoleda, and even a few new Black Knights who have just completed their professional advancement, a good drink.

"Could it be that Redbeard's purpose in invading Azur Harbor this time is to help Kilrivers capture a few experiments that were used to make the Scarlet Bride?" Finn thought that the main force of the pirates was still in the port area and had not entered the town for a long time, so he speculated in his mind, "If that's the case, then Jackson the Redbeard can retreat from Azur Harbor and return to Misty Island as quickly as he can get the prey he wants." ”

"Come to think of it, he and Kilrivers must have reached some sort of transactional agreement, after all, he can't help anyone for free."

"So, if the above inference is true, what is Redbeard's expected payment?"

Suddenly, a noun from a memory of a previous life floated through his mind.

He recalled the term, and a translucent phantom appeared in his field of vision.

The phantom stood on the pointed bow of a black flagship, clad in a tattered but imposing coat in the darkness of the night, and carrying a scimitar burning with soul fire. He pointed his flaming scimitar at the other side of the sea and the sky, and the moonlight on his side reflected the sea, the water splashed everywhere, and the waves were swept away by the ships moving at full speed, and countless skeletons, zombies, and ghosts emerged from the cabin of the ship beneath his feet, and the harbor towns of the human kingdom began to emerge at the end of their vision......

For a moment, Fein seemed to have finally sorted out a complex chain of clues, slightly furrowed under his forehead, and his eyebrows stretched out a little.

"Is what you want really immortality in another sense, Redbeard Jackson?" He muttered to himself inwardly, "Or rather...... Mr. Captain Ghost of the future. ”
