The tiny flame on the candle flickered, and when Morey heard Charlotte's words, his figure stiffened like a block of ice, motionless behind Charlotte.

Morey stared coldly at Charlotte's back, his eyes getting colder and colder.

"Then it makes sense that you plundered the seaside village just now, not for money, but for the purpose of venting the grievances and food supplies accumulated from the long wandering at sea. But Charlotte didn't stop because of this, he continued to speak, "But what kind of secret treasure has such a great attraction that makes you come to the Eastern Far Continent at all costs. ”

"If it's just for the innumerable money and treasures, then why don't you plunder it directly on the West Pole Continent? With your strength, as long as you accumulate the plundered money, it is definitely not shorter than a hill. ”

"But if the treasure is not money, it can only be extraordinary power. ”

"For example, the things created by the gods that pass through the heavens, the power of inheritance left by the dead powerhouses?"

"Or like your immortal body?"

As soon as the words fell, Morey's eyelids jumped violently, and in an instant, killing intent flashed through his eyes, and his cold eyes always fell on Charlotte's dark red cloak, but Morey stood behind Charlotte, and Charlotte did not see the change in Morey's expression.

"But what I don't understand is that you already have the power of immortality, why do you need more power when you have an invincible body?What kind of secret treasure has such a great attraction that makes you come to the Eastern Far Continent at all costs?"

The study fell silent, the two looked at each other without saying a word, and the silence and oppressive atmosphere almost made Charlotte hear her heartbeat.

He had used all the conversation techniques in his head, from what he had seen in movies in his previous life, from the Internet, or from books that he had accidentally read, racking his brains to dig out of the dusty memory.

After a long silence, Morey finally withdrew his gaze and turned to the weapon rack next to the study, "You should know that as a superior person, there are many things to consider. ”

His burly figure blocked the light of a candle, and a huge shadow covered half of the room, Morey looked at the thick scimitar on the shelf, stretched out his palm and stroked the hilt, with the light of the candle at this moment, his eyes flashed with a different light than before, and complex emotions kept flashing from his eyes.

"Big things can be related to the life and death of the whole ship, small things and even fights caused by gambling between my subordinates, all of which need me to worry about one by one, and I need to send someone to solve them. ”

His words...

What do you mean?

Charlotte swallowed her curiosity and asked Morey to continue, for this was the only chance to gather information from the captain.

Morey gently picked up the scimitar from the weapon rack, as carefully and slowly as a baby, lest his movements wake it up, and the captain's eyes remained on the edge of the scimitar.

"It's ironic, isn't it? Standing on such a high altitude, you can control the life and death of everyone on the ship, but you have to feed them like a nanny, and even help them clean up the and urine they spill. ”

"Immortal body? Hmph, yes or no, what's the difference?"

Indeed, even if he had immortality, he would not have been able to row such a huge pirate ship, or even sail to such a distant place.

But is it really that simple?

No.

Charlotte's instincts told her that there was something very important hidden in Morey's words.

The first thing that can be affirmed is that Lerod Morey embarked on a voyage in search of a secret treasure, and even though he had an immortal body, he was plotting to be more powerful.

This doesn't make sense, the two continents are separated by countless extremely dangerous seas, and if you are not careful, you will be buried in the sea, even if you have an immortal body, Morey, if the pirate ship is sunk, you will have to follow and sink into the sea.

This is also why the powerhouses of the two continents will never easily sail across the ocean, even if they want to go to the opposite continent, they will seek safer and more efficient methods.

For example, the space teleportation magic described in the book.

Even if he didn't have more powerful power, Morey, who had an immortal body, plus this giant level pirate ship, walked sideways on the surrounding seas of the West Pole Continent, and he had absolutely no reason to take this risk to come to the waters of the East Far Continent.

Since it's not for yourself, can you say...

"Are you for your men?" said Charlotte, subconsciously.

Morey, who had been brushing his blade in deep thought, suddenly raised his head and squinted at Charlotte's back.

"That makes sense, in order to gain more power, you will do whatever it takes to cross the dangerous seas and come to the edge of the Eastern Far Continent to find clues to the secret treasure. ”

"But in the end, it's not you, Captain Morey, who will benefit, it's the pirates on your ship. But I really don't understand why you, with all your absolute strength, would heed the demands of the pirates on board, take such a big risk, and even give them the secret treasure, and what did they do to make you so afraid and force you to make the decision to sail away?"

That's right.

The whole thing already had a rough outline in Charlotte's mind, but the only contradiction was this.

Morey has an immortal body, and his strength is not inferior to that young man from Longdu Mansion, and it is almost impossible to have the absolute strength to crush and be threatened by this group of rabble pirates on the ship.

There is also a key point that can explain this contradiction.

Unless...

"Unless those crew members have factors that can threaten your life. ”

"For example, killing you with an immortal body?"

Morey's pupils shrank suddenly, the hand holding the hilt of the knife became tighter and tighter, and he began to walk slowly towards Charlotte, not hiding the killing intent in his eyes at all, staring at the dark red figure in front of him.

"I mean, as a guest," he said slowly, "are you talking a little too much?"

With a whoosh, the cold light flickered, and the sharp blade rested on Charlotte's neck, and Morey said coldly, "... At your age, with such a small amount of information, I would love to give you a quick thumbs up, but you should know..."

"People who talk too much won't live long, right?"

"No, you can't kill me. Charlotte glanced at the sharp blade on her neck, exhaled, and spoke.

"Why are you so sure?" asked Morey in a cold voice.

"Because I'm the only one in the entire Eastern Far Continent who can lead you to find the Secret Treasure. ”

When Morey heard this, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Charlotte, "Go on." ”

There is play.

Here's your chance!

"The first book on the front is about the danger zone in the nearby seas, and the third book on the left on the desk is a book about the birds in the nearby seas, which is a mark on the treasure map, which proves that you are looking for the mark on the treasure map around here. ”

"All the books on the right are about how to interpret the words and patterns, and you are looking for some books to decipher the treasure map. ”

Charlotte gestured to the book on the desk, "And this, this and this one, which contains information about the islands in the nearby seas. ”

All the books on his desk Charlotte had read in the library, and now he was trying to remember the contents of each book.

"So what?" said Morey, with his scimitar still on Charlotte's neck, "you haven't told me why I shouldn't have killed you. ”

"That treasure map is incomplete, isn't it?"

As soon as the words ended, Charlotte felt the scimitar on his neck tremble slightly.

Right.

In this way, everything can be connected in series.

"That's why you're wandering around here, plundering and venting in the neighborhood, racking your brains to decipher the words on the treasure map, blindly looking for the marks on the map. ”

"Because the text on the treasure map is an unknown text for you West Pole people, you who have crossed the dangerous sea area will not find out until the end that the treasure map is actually divided into two halves, and what you have in your hands is only half of it, and the other half you do not have. ”

"Captain Morey, didn't you say I should give you a reason to spare my life?

"That's enough reason to spare my life, isn't it?"

Silent. When Charlotte had said all his words, the whole study fell silent, Charlotte did not turn his head to look at Morey, and did not know if the pirate captain was considering whether to keep himself, or whether his guess was completely wrong and was thinking about how to kill him.

Charlotte's hands clenched subconsciously, quietly waiting for Morey's reply.

"Hahaha!" A loud laugh came from behind Charlotte like a thunderbolt, and Morey burst out laughing, and then removed the scimitar from Charlotte's neck.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief, he felt the blood in his body rushing and the sound of his heart pounding against his eardrums.

It seems that he made the right bet.

"Not bad, not bad. Morey put the cutlass back on the weapon rack and clapped his hands approvingly.

"It's not bad for a lie. In the next second, a cold voice sounded in Charlotte's ears, destroying his previous small hope.

What's going on?!

"Are you underestimating me too much? For you, who haven't even quit milk, you actually know those words? What else do you say that only you can decipher the entire continent?"

"What a lie, my lovely young guest. ”

(Damn!, does he think I'm too young to decipher the Chinese characters on the treasure map?)

"But I have the bottom half of the treasure map!

Unfortunately, before Charlotte could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Morey.

"I don't know where you got the information about the treasure map, but if you do have it, I wholeheartedly recommend that you hand it over as soon as possible. ”

"Before you face the painful death penalty, hand it over. ”

"That way, maybe I'll be able to give you a good time. ”

Damn it.

(Morey didn't believe what I said at all.) ）

Damn, what are you going to do?!

Morey didn't give Charlotte time to think, clapped his palms vigorously, and the four guards outside the door pushed open the golden door and walked into the room.

"Take our lovely guests to a lively sacrifice ceremony. ”
