There was no fire in the castle of the manor, but the rest of the place was brightly lit, and many servants and slaves were busy, packing ripe fruit in boxes and waiting for the merchant to come and buy it in the morning.

"It's okay, they're all ordinary people, try not to let them find out, so as not to attract the attention of Augustine. ”

The manor is so big, there will always be a place where there is no one, Andy and Charles looked outside the manor, climbed over a fence, hid in the darkness, and sneaked in the direction of the castle.

The process went unexpectedly smoothly, and the servants and slaves did not have the slightest precaution, and Andy and Charles easily entered the castle.

There was no light in the castle, and when they entered the castle, the two of them felt a biting chill.

"What is this old guy doing?"

Andy shuddered, startled, he felt something familiar to him in the castle, the plague curse!

"Be careful, Charles, something isn't right. ”

Andy sensed the malice of the terrifying aura in the air and reminded Charles.

Although Charles didn't know a lot, he could also feel that the atmosphere in the castle was a little weird, he nodded, and subconsciously put his hand on the gold bracelet on his arm.

Just when the two of them were secretly vigilant, one of the walls of the castle suddenly creaked to reveal a secret passage, which was dimly lit and the candles flickered, indescribably mysterious.

It looks like the secret passage leads to the research chamber beneath the castle.

"It seems that I still underestimated Augustine, maybe he had already guessed that we were coming, let's go, go see my old friend. ”

Andy smiled playfully, now that his whereabouts had been discovered, Andy was no longer hiding, and swaggered into the secret passage with Charles.

If Augustine treats Andy like an ordinary enemy, then he couldn't be more wrong.

Augustine's means of relying on nothing more than the powerful curses of disease in the Book of Plague and Death, but alas, these curses, Andy will too.

The secret passage is a spiraling staircase that is about thirty floors long.

In order to hide the terrifying aura of the dark sea beast in the laboratory, Augustine had built the laboratory more than twenty meters underground, but unfortunately, some of the aura still penetrated the layers of obstacles and spread within the manor.

It is also this breath that makes ordinary people aware of the strangeness of this manor.

Click~

Andy and Charles' footsteps rang out on the stairs, and Augustine in the basement stared at the entrance to the basement with a sneer on his face.

The sound is getting closer.

"Let me see who it is...... It's you again?!"

Augustine listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and the sneer on his face gradually brought mockery and excitement, but when Andy walked down the stairs little by little, and his appearance was completely exposed to Augustine's sight, the old guy suddenly screamed loudly like a male duck who had been choked by the neck.

At this moment, Augustine's heart sank.

Andy also knows the Book of Plague and Death, he also has an undead body, he is not afraid of ordinary curses, and he also bears the power of the legendary pirate Captain Howling Wind, so to speak, Andy is almost his nemesis, most of his means are useless to Andy, and the other party seems to be able to kill himself easily.

If he was at sea, he could have competed with Andy with the Dark Sea Beasts he had made with sorcery......

However, it is not without opportunities.

Augustine subconsciously glanced at the mural on the wall, and gloom flashed in his eyes.

"Heh~ Augustine, my old friend, Skull Island, it seems that your life is not bad?"

Andy walked into the basement, looked at Augustine's cautious face, and looked around the basement, which was filled with all kinds of things that exuded a dark aura, rotting sea beast corpses, rats carrying the curse of the black death, and oil paintings that exuded an evil aura......

The severed limbs of men, the bones, the blood of maidens, the souls of wailing......

It can be said that this is the fulfillment of all Andy's fantasies about the evil wizard laboratory.

"When did you return to the Stormstorm Sea? Didn't you say you were in the Ekie Empire? What about Peter?

Augustine asked in a hoarse voice as he sat down slowly in his chair.

"Oh, it looks like your message is a bit outdated, and I've long since left the Ekie Empire. ”

Andy squinted his eyes slightly, he didn't expect that even Augustine knew the news of his trip to the Ekie Empire, it seemed that it was really the same as what the captain of the Invincible Armada said, and this matter had already spread outside.

However, this is also a benefit, the release of the famous Tutankhamun has caused the Eki Empire to fall into an ancient curse, thinking that he is now the most wanted target of the Eki Empire's navy, and the bounty should be about the same as that of Captain Lyle Scarnod.

However, it also gave Andy some bad thoughts. Who is behind the scenes?

Presumably, there will be no one else except Jack.

"In order for me to attract the attention of others, so as to conceal the news that I have obtained the Scepter of Death......?

Andy chuckled softly, his smile making Augustine a little hairy.

"What did you come to me for? I can apologize to you if it's for what happened before in the fight for the Heart of the Ocean. ”

Augustine said in a deep voice, he didn't want to have a conflict with Andy, even if he could get away with it, everything he had here would be over, there were precious materials that he had spent a lot of gold in exchange, and he didn't want to ruin them like this.

"You didn't have such an attitude in Skull Island before, let me guess, did you hear about my identity from your old friend, it seems that the name of the legendary howling wind is really useful, maybe I will become a legendary pirate king like that in the future, what do you think?"

Andy casually picked up a crystal bottle on the table, the black liquid in the bottle was constantly bubbling like a boil, Andy leaned over and sniffed it gently, a strange smell mixed with something strange got into his nose.

"The ingredients of the feigned death potion, as well as certain materials similar to life potion...... Is it to give life to the undead sea beasts? ”

Andy couldn't help but sigh in admiration, and Augustine's face was a little gloomy.

"Andy, you'd better not go too far. ”

"Excessive? Huh...... I'll tell you the truth, if it was just to put away the things you did to me in the first place, I actually wouldn't have found it, after all, you are a great wizard, and there is no need to take risks for this grudge. ”

Andy's words lit up Augustine's eyes, but the next few words made him feel as cold as falling into an ice cave.
