The corners of Xiao Feng's mouth hooked up a touch of piety, he gently put the wooden box beside him, put his hands on his chest, and finally muttered a sentence, not a lingua franca, Andy didn't know what it meant, but it sounded a little mysterious.

After doing this, Howling Wind gently opened the golden box.

A cold chill emanated from the wooden box, as if there was a sudden extra piece of iceberg on the Empress's top of a thousand-year-old iceberg, and a cold swept over the pirates on the deck, and they shivered in unison after the unbearable heat.

Andy, who was half-kneeling on the side, felt even stronger, this was not a simple chill, but a kind of coldness mixed with death and evil, Andy determined in an instant, the wooden box contained some precious alchemy materials.

If used to craft magical weapons, this material can not only give the weapon the power of frost, but also have strange and unpredictable energies, such as the cold despair of ghosts and necromancy.

"Xiaoli, are you feeling okay?"

The sound of the howling wind came from behind Andy, and Andy shivered and took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with the help of the Heart of the Ocean, getting used to this strange cold feeling that seemed to rise from the bottom of his heart.

"Not bad. ”

Andy replied, Howling Wind's voice was a little hoarse, making him vaguely worried that maybe this so-called head-lowering ceremony was not as simple as he thought.

"This contains the special alchemy materials I have collected for ten years......"

Howling Wind paused, he crouched down, and took out a clear crystal vial from the wooden box, like the bottle used by aristocratic women to hold perfumes, but the liquid in the bottle was not clear, but pale black, like squid ink.

"It's ...... The corpse oil of an evil god. ”

Howling Wind's tone was so faint that Andy in front of him couldn't stop shaking, Andy maintained a half-kneeling position, and he restrained his desire to look back.

Before boarding the Empress, Howling Wind told Andy that once Andy was half-kneeling in front of the mast, he should stay in his position and not move, so Howling Wind even found two powerful pirates to grab Andy's arm.

"Corpse oil?"

Andy swallowed his saliva, and when he heard these two words, Andy felt his scalp tingle.

"That's right, in the head lowering technique, there is a kind of guardianship, that is, through tattooing, the pattern is permanently engraved on the body of the guarded, and in order to make the effect of the guardian descend strong, special ink is required. ”

Howling Wind may want Andy to know more about the head-lowering technique, so he patiently explained, but his movements were not idle, Howling Wind opened the crystal bottle, and the cold chill was even more obvious, and even Howling Wind's body trembled slightly.

Howling Wind took a deep breath and pulled out a sharp, slender Mithril needle from the box, which was about a palm's length with two strange grooves at the mouth and tail of the needle.

"By tattooing patterns on the body to achieve the purpose of protection, not only the head lowering technique, but also among some special natives, there is also such a method, the guardian descending in the head descending technique, it should be to absorb these indigenous secret techniques. ”

"Many tribes have their own totems, they use a special way, the totem is engraved on the body, in order to increase their strength, and the pirates are because they have been adrift on the sea all the year round, and they have seen countless tribes' totems, and many totems have been circulated, and the pirates also tattoo them on their bodies, hoping to get power, as for the result, it is obviously impossible. ”

However, the nine elders of the Pirate Alliance use the skeleton symbolizing death as the symbol of pirates, so there are many pirates who like to tattoo skeletons on their bodies to symbolize their identity, and there are also some pirates who will tattoo those mysterious looking symbols on their bodies, hoping that one day, they can get strength from them. ”

Howling Wind said, sneering for no apparent reason.

"But the pirates on deck, I have tattooed each of them myself, and of course, the ink used is just ordinary corpse oil...... Well, most of them are made from the corpses of wizards. ”

"Activating the power of the Guardian Descendant will not only increase your strength and speed for a short time, but also resist the curse, and the Guardian Descender under my own command can also allow them to use some simple killing techniques in a short period of time. ”

Xiao Feng said, put the silver needle into the bottle, an ink-colored line visible to the naked eye appeared in the silver needle, the evil god corpse oil in the bottle seemed to be a little less, Xiao Feng's eyes flashed distress, looking at Andy's back, with pity in his eyes.

"The effect of using tattoos to protect the surrender is the strongest, but the process is also the most painful, especially the evil god corpse oil, which I found in the ruins of an ancient temple in the Shura Sea, and refined from that arm, it is much stronger than the ordinary wizard corpse oil, but it is bound to be more painful. ”

"I can hold back, Uncle Howling Wind. ”

Andy gritted his teeth and replied in a muffled voice.

He felt a strong chill slowly leaning towards his back, just this chill, as if there were countless knife tips constantly poking at him.

"That's right...... Uncle Howling Wind, can I choose the pattern myself?"

Andy closed his eyes and suddenly thought that Howling Wind was going to tattoo his back, so he asked.

"Of course not, the Guardian will change its own pattern according to your heart. ”

Howling Wind opened his mouth to reply, he looked at the pirates around the deck, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, it was not only these pirates who were protected by him, but the patterns that appeared in the bodies of those pirates were not the white bone crown of the Empress, so Howling Wind dealt with those guys.

And the pirates with the crown of white bones in their bodies are all the absolute loyal companions of the most empress.

"Ready, little departure. ”

"Yes. ”

Andy replied himself, and Howling Wind pressed the hand that was not holding the silver needle to Andy's back, and a dazzling light appeared on his hand, and the light was attached to Andy's back, as if something was pregnant.

Howling Wind's middle finger bent slightly, and a small hole opened where the nail connected to the flesh, and a drop of blood fell on Andy's back, and the originally dazzling light instantly turned a dull red.

"The essence and blood are the guide, the gods and ghosts and evil spirits, with my blood, the guardian descends. ”

Howling Wind murmured softly, and the dark red light on Andy's back seemed to be attracted by something, and little by little it burrowed under Andy's skin.

"Ugh!"

Andy gritted his teeth, he felt a powerful and terrifying force invade his body, and it seemed as if some kind of force was about to break through his back and break out of the cage.

He felt a feeling of expansion and tearing, as if his whole body was about to explode.

He knew that it was the power of Howling Wind, and these powers would be sealed in his body with the pattern under the Mithril pattern on Howling Wind's back, and it would be released at a special moment.

Howling Wind brushed his thumb on his cracked middle finger, the wound disappearing, and he pulled out a yellowed piece of papyrus from his clothes, with Andy's birthday and real name written on it.

The dark power gnawed away at the paper on Howling Wind's hand, and finally turned into a black smoke condensed on Howling Wind's hand, landing on the skin of Andy's back little by little, and a complex pattern began to slowly take shape on Andy's back.
