Chapter 164: Sea Beasts, Witchcraft, and Contracts
Storms come and go as fast as they come.
The sun pierced the thick clouds like a sharp sword, and the wild sea breeze rested and gently brushed across the sea.
The air after the storm was unusually fresh, the smell of the ocean, and the pirates stepped out, including the two ladies in the captain's room.
Needless to say, the pirates consciously hoisted their sails, tied their cables, and cleaned up the water and the sea creatures thrown onto the deck by the waves, and the delicious fish and shrimp would serve as their dinner.
Anna tugged at Andy, pointed to a corner of the Black Fantasy deck, and snorted.
Andy took one look and laughed.
A dark brown octopus was trying to climb the railing back into the sea, while Margaret got a wooden stick from somewhere, and was struggling to play with it, and with Margaret's movements, the octopus kept squirting black ink, looking a little miserable.
As if sensing the gaze of the two men, Margaret turned her head and waved at Andy, motioning for him to come over.
"I've heard people say that David Jones's sea beast is an octopus?"
Margaret suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed the slimy body of the octopus, the octopus seemed to be frightened, and suddenly shrank a lot, and its eight claws went upwards and wrapped around Margaret's arm.
"I guess I haven't seen it either...... After all, we missed that opportunity together. ”
Andy's voice was a little low, that opportunity was exchanged by Roger with his soul.
"Andy, how do you have a sea beast?"
Margaret took a deep breath and asked suddenly.
Andy was a little surprised, and then he understood that Margaret, a girl full of ambition, seemed to be interested in sea beasts.
"If you can subdue a sea beast with your own strength and get its approval, you have a good chance of successfully signing a contract with it......"
Margaret nodded, and she looked at the octopus on her hand, and then at Andy's ring.
"How do I sign a contract?"
Andy thought for a moment, and he suddenly became serious, "Marge, are you ...... now?" I'm already exposed to witchcraft, right?"
Margaret was a little surprised, she looked at Andy, and suddenly felt that his eyes were a little evasive, so she thought of what happened in the warehouse after the two of them met for the first time, no wonder her butt hurt a little when she woke up that day......
Margaret had always wondered why Andy was helping her, she had never known why Andy was bringing her with her, and now it was finally clear.
The magic power she could wield came from the black rose, and Andy seemed to have noticed it and knew what it was.
Andy saw Margaret fall silent, and he patted her on the shoulder.
"Although witchcraft is a symbol of evil in the eyes of many people, you don't have to be afraid of anything, you can ask me any questions, although I don't know much, but I think I can still help you......"
Margaret nodded, the smile on her face more charming than the blue surface of the Storm Sea.
"As for the contract...... It would require a special ritual and sorcery, but I don't know the specifics, you know, I also got the Arowana contract in a vague way......"
Andy frowned, he thought for a moment, "It seems that some powerful alchemists can refine the scrolls of this kind of contract, just like the legendary Davy Jones's demonic contract, but in a small place like the Storm Sea, maybe only that Phillips in Vikingport can make ......"
"But the old fellow...... Hmm, maybe you can only make a contract for a low-level sea beast......"
Andy said as he reached out and grabbed the octopus on Margaret's arm, and with a hard squeeze, the octopus let go of its eight tentacles and was thrown into the sea by Andy.
"Hey, God, that's what tastes so good?"
A pirate who had been keeping an eye on the octopus clung to his head in his hands and shouted frantically.
"You want to keep it to make up for your little brother!"
Several pirates laughed and joked with each other, and the pirates felt unusually relaxed after the storm, after all, their little captain had shown them miraculous powers.
"Marg, do you know why all the famous pirates have only one sea beast? Like Davy Jones, it would have been easy for him to subdue more sea beasts. ”
Margaret thought about it, without a clue.
"Maybe he already has a relationship with his own sea beasts, just like me and my Luna, I don't want to have any more cats but her...... Oh, I miss my Luna. ”
"The sea beast is not a cat, Marg, the sea beast symbolizes power, glory, and any pirate would like to have one. ”
Andy said slowly, he stretched out his hand, and there were two rings on it, one was the ring that his father left him to carry the Sea Beast Killer Whale Contract, and the other was Jervis's Arowana Contract Ring.
"Because contracts cannot coexist, you can only have one sea beast through a contract, but some wizards may use their abilities to create more sea beasts to help him. Moreover, there is a price to be paid for maintaining a relationship with a sea beast through a contract, because conveying ideas through a contract consumes mental energy...... And even if I were given an eight-star sea beast, I wouldn't be able to control it now, because the huge power of the contract would blow up my brain. ”
"Besides, an average pirate captain would not allow his men to possess sea beasts, which would pose a serious threat to his authority. ”
Andy shook his head with some distress, he looked at Margaret, "So, if you want to have a sea beast, make yourself strong first, you have this condition, witchcraft can help you!"
Anna listened as she frowned.
"Doesn't that mean that it is impossible for a man who does not know witchcraft to possess a sea beast?
"Of course not, Anna, there are many ways, such as the Black Fantasy, ordinary sea beasts don't have the strength to knock it over, and they can't withstand a few rounds of artillery attacks, and your starfall, if it hits the vital point, it is enough for any sea beast to hurt for a while, and those magic weapons can cause a lot of damage to the sea beast. ”
Andy is eloquent, but in fact it may be a bit biased, witchcraft is not only because of mysterious evil, but more importantly, because of the power of the supernatural.
However, witchcraft is not something that everyone can master.
"Witchcraft is not a panacea, and there are so many things in this world that can pose a threat to wizards...... An ordinary sailor's scimitar could easily send that old Augustine fellow to hell. ”
There are few recommended tickets and monthly passes...... Everybody will be rewarded with two tickets, and you will be rewarded with two tickets...... I don't think I will fail, hmm, I have to work hard for the English test on Friday......
