Chapter 296: The Eye of Doom and the Stone of Destiny (Band-Aid for the Helm Mainstream)
Mogg had already seen that the young pirate captain seemed to have just entered the Sapphire Sea, and it seemed that he didn't know much about the Roma Empire.
And what Mogg has to do is to make Andy realize that for a pirate captain, the vast Roma Empire is a monster that cannot be offended.
Mogg stiffened, looked at Andy's face that flashed with anger, and said strongly, "Captain, the Sapphire Sea is a sea area where pirate raids are frequent, therefore, the navy here is also more than other waters of the Empire, the patrol time and route of each of our naval ships have been recorded, and soon, the Imperial Navy will find out the fact that the Thresher Shark has been destroyed." ”
"So what?"
Andy's voice didn't show the slightest hint of anger, and was even a little flat.
"The robbery of a naval ship and the murder of a rear admiral are two completely different concepts, captain, you should understand what kind of wrath you will suffer from the Empire if you kill a rear admiral......
Mogg took a deep breath and said quickly, he hoped that Andy could understand something, kill him, Andy would definitely die.
"But whether it's the looting of naval ships or the murder of the Imperial Rear Admiral, it's all a gallow, isn't it?" Andy sneered disdainfully, he turned around, looked at the calm sea, and said lightly, "As long as a pirate, whether he has murdered a naval officer or not, and is arrested by the navy, he will almost always be sent to the gallows." ”
"But I can intercede for you, you know, my uncle is a marshal of the Imperial Navy......"
Mogg hurriedly said, he knew that Andy was telling the truth, and once Andy was arrested by the Navy, whether Andy killed him or not, the fate would be the same.
Moreover, killing an Imperial Rear Admiral and spreading the word will also increase Andy's reputation among pirates.
Suffice it to say, Andy doesn't seem to find any reason to let him go.
"Excuse me? Ask the judge to give me a thin noose? Come on, put away your tricks, tell me what I want to know, and maybe you'll live a little longer." ”
Andy said unceremoniously, pointing to Bibab on the stern of the boat, and his expression made Mogg on the side feel a little bad.
"I found several nautical charts in your captain's room, one of which shows the routes and times of the various naval vessels patrolling the naval harbor in the Sapphire Sea, so you don't have to worry about me being arrested by the navy. ”
Mogg smiled bitterly, he had forgotten about it, and he now had the feeling of lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot, for he did not have to carry the nautical chart with him on the ship.
"What do you want to know?"
Mogg knew that he had absolutely no hole cards that he could use to negotiate with Andy, and even his life was in the hands of this guy, and as long as Andy wanted to, he would never survive.
"I don't know what I want to know, maybe you do? Actually, I didn't plan to stay in the Sapphire Sea for long, and the naval power of the Roman Empire was no threat to me at all. ”
Andy looked directly into Mogg's eyes, and there seemed to be an endless darkness hidden in his deep pupils, which made Mogg shiver.
Mogg was silent for a moment, not saying anything.
Seeing this, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Andy's mouth, he didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Mogg saw the smile on Andy's lips as he left, his eyes flashed with fear, his body shook involuntarily, and he collapsed, if it weren't for the cable bondage, he would have collapsed on the deck.
Under the manipulation of Bibab, the Black Fantasy was nimble like a fish, constantly breaking through the waves, heading in the direction of Hogg Harbor.
"Full sails! give me a boost, guys, the chicks in Hogg Harbor are already waiting for you with their big legs spread!"
Andy shouted to the pirates on either side of the deck, and he returned to the captain's room and took out the small tank of the Arowana.
Through the contract ring, Andy knew that the thresher shark was dying.
At Andy's call, the Arowana showed its head again, its fangs piercing the thresher shark's body, and the whole thing was entangled, and the thresher shark's tail flapped from time to time, looking like an old man who was unwilling to die but helpless.
The Arowana let go of its mouth, poked its head out of the sea, and burrowed into the tank, its body beginning to shrink as it approached the tank, taking with it the thresher shark wrapped around its body and tail.
When Andy sucks away the thresher shark's soul, the remaining carrion and internal organs will become food for the Arowana, the energy in the corpse of a sea beast, and the cursed Arowana will consume it for a long time.
Andy took the fish tank and walked to the door of Olivia's house, extracting the soul of the sea beast is a more troublesome matter, Andy plans to ask Olivia to help, after all, the latter does it, the consumption is much smaller than Andy.
The battle didn't bother Olivia, there were many places on the Black Fantasy that were hit by artillery shells, full of cracks and debris, but Olivia's house was lucky not to be affected because it was next to the captain's room.
A few minutes after Andy knocked on the wooden door, Olivia opened the wooden door and looked at Andy impatiently.
"Isn't the battle over?"
"That's right, so I want to trouble you with something, help me extract the soul of this sea beast. ”
Andy shook the fish bowl in her hand, and Olivia glanced at it, surprise flashing in her eyes.
"How did your sea beast become like this? is it because of the Heart of the Ocean?"
Andy was noncommittal and walked into Olivia's room, his eyes falling on a severed arm on the table with his palm covered in a black cloth.
There was a gloomy atmosphere in Olivia's room, which made Andy, who had been separated from the body of the undead, shiver involuntarily.
"Still working on that thing, what's the catch?"
Olivia took the fish tank, and the arowana swam restlessly in the fish tank, and she covered the mouth of the fish tank with her palm, muttering something in her mouth.
A burst of black gas suddenly emerged from the thresher shark that had not yet died, and the arowana was frightened and rushed to the side, and a constantly struggling sea beast soul loomed in the black air, which was controlled by Olivia in the palm of her hand and put into a crystal ball.
"And that worked?"
Andy asked in surprise when he saw Olivia's understatement.
"Of course, what else?"
Olivia glanced at Andy, and although she didn't have any extra thoughts, Andy always felt that he saw banter in her eyes.
A smile crossed Olivia's lips, and in an instant, she tossed the crystal ball to Andy, walked back to the table, and carefully picked up the severed arm.
An eyeball was embedded in the center of the palm of the severed arm, which was slowly turning, and finally landed on Andy.
An irrepressible surprise appeared on Andy's face, "Olivia?"
Olivia took out a black cloth and put it over her palm, blocking her eyeballs.
"Don't let it keep an eye on you, or you're going to be in trouble, I'm still trying to find a way to control this thing, maybe it won't be long before it becomes a help for you." ”
Olivia secured her arms to the table and sat aside.
"This thing is supposed to be the legendary Eye of Doom, an eye that hides in the shadows and brings doom to the world, which stems from gypsy witchcraft, and I, who is a gypsy. ”
Olivia's Gypsy ancestry is something she has always been proud of, as Gypsy has produced countless powerful wizards.
Also known as the Evil Eye, the Eye of Doom is the most famous form of witchcraft guardian in the Gypsy Empire, much like the white voodoo doll used to guard oneself in voodoo.
Legend has it that the most heinous condemned prisoners would gouge out their eyeballs, wrap them in some special resin, and then polish them by wizards who are skilled in making the Eye of Doom, and with the help of some special sorcery, the evil eye made has incredible power.
Wearing the Eye of Doom on your body can suck away evil energy, block curses, and ensure the peace of your master.
However, the evil eye needs to be replaced, and after absorbing enough evil energy and curses, the evil eye will have the magic power to attract bad luck, and wearing such an evil eye on the body will harm others and oneself.
However, the wizards of Gypsy love this kind of thing, and they refine their magical evil eyes into all sorts of cursed tools that they can sell, use to harm people, or do something else.
However, the witchcraft used to make the Eye of Doom was lost a long time ago, and with the holy war of the Roman Empire, the Gypsy Empire was destroyed, and the Gypsy witchcraft system was destroyed, and it was not even preserved intact, but a lot of materials and items were left behind, waiting for others to discover them in the dark ruins, waiting for the day when they would see the light of day again.
"In other words, this eye embedded in the palm of the hand is an eye of doom?"
Andy breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't expect that there was such a wonderful thing in the world.
"And what is this severed arm? The Eye of Doom is embedded in it, and this can't be an ordinary arm. ”
Olivia shook her head, she didn't know what secret was hidden in that arm.
"The Eye of Doom is the highest level of gypsy witchcraft, and although it does not involve the soul or the body, it can have an effect on a person's fortune when combined with the divination of the gypsy, a curse power that is very different from voodoo witchcraft. ”
Olivia looked at Andy, her expression a little serious.
"But gypsy witchcraft has been lost, this powerful witchcraft is gone, and among all the curse systems, the only existing witchcraft that can affect a person's fortune is the legendary Eastern head-lowering and witchcraft, although it is not common in the West, but I think in the Central Sea, you will definitely come into contact with it. ”
Olivia seemed to think of something, and she lowered her voice and leaned into Andy's ear.
"Moreover, I heard that the legendary pirate Wang Xiaofeng, who has a close relationship with you, is a master of head-lowering techniques. ”
Andy looked at Olivia blankly, not knowing what she meant, but nodded anyway, maybe he would be able to see the whistling wind at the rum festival, and maybe he could learn about the head-lowering technique with him.
"Don't bother me these days, I need to try to see if I can control this Eye of Doom, and besides, I want to try to make a new Eye of Doom myself through the Eye of Doom, so that at least I have a way to deal with that curse that destroys my luck. ”
Olivia put on a send-off look, and Andy thought about it for a moment to make sure he didn't have anything to discuss with her, so he picked up the crystal ball and walked out.
As soon as Andy left Olivia's house, he found the one-eyed Lori waiting for him not far away, and when he saw him come out, he waved excitedly.
"Captain, the admiral said he had something to tell you!"
Andy smiled, fiddling with the crystal ball in his hand and walking over to the mast.
Before Andy could stand firm, Mogg couldn't wait to say, "Captain, I just remembered a nice piece of news, if you can promise not to kill me, I think this news will definitely satisfy you." ”
"If it was as you say, I wouldn't kill you, after all, your life is nothing to me. ”
Andy's words embarrassed Mogg, and he twisted uneasily before speaking.
"There is a port called Modris, on the coast of the Sapphire Sea, where there is a huge vein of sapphire, where a miner's slave dug up a sparkling sapphire a few days ago, and after some alchemists' identification, that thing ...... It is the legendary Stone of Destiny. ”
Andy's eyes lit up, he looked at Mogg's face, and didn't see a hint of weakness on the other person's face, so he smiled with satisfaction.
Andy doesn't know what the so-called Stone of Destiny is and what kind of special power it has, but Andy knows one thing, the crown that symbolizes the identity and authority of the King of the Eagle Empire is inlaid with a Stone of Destiny!
If nothing else, a stone of destiny is enough to exchange for a fragment of the heart of the ocean, right?
"Port Modris, where is the Stone of Destiny now?"
"The gem was bought by a nobleman and should now be kept in a castle in Modris. ”
Mogg replied that it was also not much information he knew, and that Andy would not be able to answer if he asked anything else.
"It's about two months from here to the central sea...... I still have a lot of time. Andy smiled and patted Mogg on the shoulder, "That's great news, and to reward you, I decided to give you a chance......"
"What?"
Mogg looked at Andy's evil smile, and a very bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
"Make you a part of the Black Fantasy and be part of the legend of the future...... However, it is necessary to be in a different state. ”
The sun shone on Mog's body, but he didn't feel the slightest warmth, he wanted to scold, but he couldn't open his mouth.
At the top of the mast, two crows quacked, and Andy's strange smile froze in Mog's pupils, lingering in his soul......
Another 4,000-word ...... Today's 8,000-word update is complete, and the cub's fingers are sore.
