Realizing that his disguise might have been revealed at some point without him noticing, Fein quietly reached for the empty pocket hidden in the pirate's suit, his eyes looking natural, but in fact staring at the body of the turban pirate.

The place where he, Lilith, Arya, Arroyo, and Raymond were at this time was in the port area of Azur Harbor, which was almost half of Jackson the Red Beard's home base. If the disguise was seen through at this juncture, Finn would not have to think about it and understand that he and his four companions would inevitably have to deal with a fierce battle.

"But what am I not doing well?" While keeping an eye on the pirate in front of him, Finn quickly checked his mind for possible mistakes.

Clothing?

Wrong.

Mannerisms?

Nor should it be.

Could it be that the other party recognized his face?

No, no, no, I haven't been to Minato before this, so it's even more impossible.

So......

"Damn, what went wrong?" The young paladin's heart gradually began to become agitated.

When Finn was in a state of tension, Arya, Arroyo, and Raymond noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and they also subconsciously bit their lipes lightly. For a moment, the hijab looked back at the crowd, and the other four felt some uneasiness in their hearts, except for Lilith, whose face was still unwavering.

In the middle of the night, just as Finn was about to lose his breath and change his attention temporarily, the pirate with the turban on his head suddenly raised his finger and said, "You, you, and you—you three are too clean." ”

…… Ha?

Hearing the other party's words, Finn blinked, his face stunned.

"Listen, rookies, if you don't want the other brothers to look down on, then you'd better add something new to your baby's skin, which will help you integrate into our circle faster." The hijab-clad pirate grinned triumphantly at Finn, and said proudly, "It's an unwritten tradition in the rules of many pirate organizations. ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and showed Finn, Arroyo, and Raymond the thick arm of his skin with a beast tattooed on it, then raised an eyebrow at the three of them, turned and continued towards the deck of the black-sailed ship.

Finn looked up at the pirate's back in a daze. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and wiped the corner of his forehead.

"It's dangerous...... he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Originally, he was mentally prepared, and planned to lead the four companions around him to kill all the way out of the port area where this group of pirates was entrenched.

Fortunately, the fear just now was just a false alarm.

……

As the turban pirate boarded the deck of the Redbeard Jackson, the turbaned pirate led Finn and his party down a flight of stairs to the bottom of the deck into the cabin of the Blacksail.

At intervals on the wooden walls of the corridors of the cabins, a glowing stone emitted magical light. In the human realm, the Luminous Stone is not only an expedition tool often used by adventurers, but also a lighting tool that many human armed groups are willing to use.

After all, the light emitted by the luminous stone is weaker than that of oil lamps, which require continuous energy consumption, but it has the property of "shining in the dark", so it is sometimes more economical and cost-effective than oil lamps.

The pirate, with his turban on his head, led the group through the corridor of the cabin, and the group followed the pirate, occasionally spotting several other pirates passing by them, glancing sideways at Lilith and Arya, who were pretending to be captives, with curiosity or ill-will.

A short time later, the bandanaled pirate led the group to a wooden door at the end of the hallway, then stopped and turned to the group behind him, saying, "This is it." ”

"Is the captain in this room?" Finn asked him.

"Yes." The bandanaled pirate replied to the paladin youth, "This room used to be a storage room, and since Mr. Kilrivers came to Misty Island, the captain has transformed this room into an alchemy laboratory, and he usually spends a lot of time in it, and he doesn't let us as subordinates bother him. ”

"Alchemy Laboratory?" A flash of alarm flashed through Finn's mind, "Excuse me... The captain has been studying alchemy lately? ”

"I don't know, the captain sold us at this point." The other shrugged, "But the renovation of this laboratory is probably related to that Mr. Kilrivers...... Well, I guess. ”

……

At the same time, the door behind the room.

The future Red Lord Kilrivers, stood by an arc-shaped alchemy bench. On the table in front of the vampire Sir were some alchemical materials, a few empty small glass bottles, and a circle of blood droplets that had just been used to paint a small alchemy array.

In many alchemy workshops in Ferdia, mice are common experimental creatures, and many alchemists will learn all kinds of alchemy experiments on this kind of little guy, and the same is true for Kilrivers, who has advanced his basic profession.

Sir the vampire, with a white and handsome face, twisted the corpse of a mouse from the center of the blood-colored circle on the table and held it into his palm, he took the corpse of the mouse in front of him, closed one eye and carefully observed the death of the little creature in front of him, and carefully played with the small thing in his palm with his slender fingers, as if confirming the results of an important experiment.

Red-bearded Jackson sat in a comfortable armchair, resting his left hand on the armrest of the chair, his face with a black triangular blindfold turned sideways to look at Sir Vampire, who was not far from him.

One of the pirate captain's eyes was lost during an invasion of the city of Hurenger. In the landing and plunder, which took advantage of the foggy night weather, the veteran pirate was unlucky, and happened to encounter a Mithril Knights who escorted the Marshallese Priest to the city of Hurengel to take office, and encountered a strong counterattack organized by the Marshallese Priest and Roderick, the Mithril Knight known as the Silver Lion.

In that battle, the Marshallese Priest personally destroyed his right eye with a magic spell, and Roderick the Silver Lion led the patrol guards of Hurenger City to defeat the pirate forces under his command as if he had defeated Wall's possession, and Redbeard Jackson could never forget the shame bestowed on him by those two high-ranking saints for the rest of his life, and this extremely unpleasant experience was one of the reasons why he was willing to make a deal with the Dark Alliance represented by Killrivers.

Captain Redbeard has never been a forgiving man.

In addition to the right to eternal life, he also wanted revenge on the two damned high-ranking priests of the Violet Kingdom.

"Mr. Baron, you seem to have failed again." In the middle of the night, the one-eyed pirate captain rested one leg on the knee of the other, and spoke in a calm, mocking voice to Lord Vampire, who had his back to him.

Kilrivers lifted his sharp nails and gently touched the skin of the mouse's corpse, then turned to look at the pirate captain in sight with his crimson eyes, and responded with an elegant smile, "You are wrong, Mr. Captain." This time, I was successful. ”

As he spoke, the vampire baron suddenly opened his eyes, opened his mouth to reveal the two pairs of fangs in his mouth, and bit down on the mouse corpse in his hand.

Jackson the Redbeard was stunned for a moment by Kir Rivers' unsolicited move.

After that, Kilrivers pulled the blood-dripping fangs out of the skin of the mouse's corpse, and the dead mouse's body let out a brief convulsion, and the closed eyelids immediately opened, revealing a pair of faintly bloody red pupils, as if it had been resurrected by Kilrivers's evil gift in the form of another life.

“…… This is? The red-bearded pirate captain was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained the reserved demeanor of a big man, and asked as he looked at Kilrivers' smug expression.

"Scarlet Bride...... Rat-like. ”

Sir Vampire humorously teased, holding the hand of the red-eyed white mouse and crushing the little guy in his hand, and then shook the dirty blood and minced flesh in his palm, and made the conclusion of the experiment just now, and said, "Our experiment has succeeded, Captain." Now, just wait until your men send some beautiful girls over, and I think you'll soon be paid for your part. ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory.

"Who?" Captain Redbeard heard the knock on the door, and then turned his head to stare over there and questioned sharply.

Half a second later-

"Captain, we've brought the man you wanted." The voice of the turban pirate reported from outside the door to Captain Redbeard in the room.
