Chapter 265: The Pirate Count

Perhaps because of the departure of the white deer, the vision that could see the power of shadows began to weaken, and finally disappeared completely, and the scene in Leo's eyes returned to normal again. It's just that although his vision has been restored, his perception has been strengthened, even if he doesn't need to look at it, through the spiritual network to cooperate with his own perception, he can clearly feel the changes in the power of the stars and shadows above the camp.

The shadow of the stars didn't last long in the refugee camp and quickly vanished, and Leo felt the shadow appear in the shadow of a large stone beside him.

Just as Leo was looking over there, Sue stepped out of the shadows.

Although she looked very tired at the moment, and her face was very bad, her expression was extremely excited, and full of joy, and the starry spots on her clothes became very dim, but this dimness was not the dull of exhaustion, but the dullness of convergence.

If the light of the stars represented Su's control over the power of his own shadows, then Su's control over his own power was at least several times stronger now than just now.

It's just that the biggest change in Su's body is her strength, Leo almost doesn't need too much attention, he can feel the surging shadow power on Su's body, this power spreads his teeth and claws around Su's body, making Su's whole person like a small black hole that absorbs any light and heat, Su just stood beside Leo for a while, and the temperature around him dropped by at least ten degrees.

"You succeeded!" Leo asked calmly, turning his head to Sue.

Su didn't answer Leo's words, but looked at the place where Bailu was standing just now, as if he sensed something, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

After a while, Su turned to look at Leo and said, "Thank you! If you hadn't blocked those Black Forest clansmen and monsters, I might not have been able to succeed." ”

Leo said in his words: "Even without me, I would not fail, and the outcome of some things is doomed from the beginning." ”

Obviously, Sue didn't understand the meaning of Leo's words, she was now completely immersed in the power she couldn't control, her mental power was difficult to concentrate, and the whole person was also a little trance.

Seeing Su's current abnormal state, Leo's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "What is the fluorescent light that the divine family planned to devour just now?"

"That's the polluter's ......," Sue responded, but quickly became conscious, immediately stopped, and looked at Leo with a slight displeasure.

While Sue doesn't have a complete answer, Leo has got the answer he wants, the polluter.

The word Su spoke was not French, nor Gamorei, but a tribal language of Mozambian and one of the main languages of Mozambit. Leo remembers that when Maupassant was teaching Gamore, he had made a point about the tribal language, believing that the language, which was completely different in shape and pronunciation, had some connection with Gamore, and asked Leo to learn some words simply, including the word polluter.

These words originate from an ancient tribal monument, and to this day Persona linguists have not figured out the exact meaning of these words, only to speculate that they represent something, such as the word polluter in Maupassant's interpretation as some kind of heretical-like identity.

However, from Sue's reaction, Leo guessed that the polluter should be a certain clan or race, and judging from what the divine clan did, the polluter's role was likely to be to erase some contracts with supernatural powers, such as the Black Forest's patronage contract.

"You'd better not pay attention to him," Su knew that she had said the wrong thing and revealed something that shouldn't be revealed, so she warned Leo, "There is already a powerful being who can only look up to him and is watching him, if you don't want to be like that idiot of Mister, you better put away your curiosity and act as if you didn't hear anything." ”

Although Su didn't say who the powerful being was, Leo felt that it was probably Bailu.

"What I gained this time was so big that it was beyond my expectations. Su felt the surging power in his body, was silent for a moment, and said, "I owe you a great favor. ”

Leo said flatly: "You don't owe anything, I've been paid." ”

"No, that reward isn't enough to offset my gain. Su was obviously not a person who liked to owe favors, she thought for a moment and said, "Since you are a wizard, you must be interested in the tower." ”

"Do you know where the tower is?" asked Leo, with a concerned look on his face.

"I don't know. Sue gave a disappointed answer, but then changed his words and said, "However, I know of a tower wizard who left the tower and married and had children outside, and founded a family, and in that family's home may have kept the books and notes left by the tower wizard in the past. ”

Leo didn't think about it and asked directly, "Which family is where?"

"The Drake family of the Kingdom of Inge. ”

When Leo heard the name, one of the most famous Drake families in the Kingdom of England immediately came to mind, and asked, "The Drake family in Berkshire?"

"Yes. Sue nodded.

Leo asked, "The Tower wizard you're talking about can't be Count Drake, the pirate?"

Sue nodded, acknowledging Leo's guess.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Leo immediately had some information about the Drake family in his mind.

There are a total of three famous Drake families in the Kingdom of England, but compared to the other two knight families, the Count Drake family with ordinary civilian background and legendary experience is obviously more famous, not only in the Kingdom of England, but even in other countries There are a lot of legends about Drake.

By now, there are dozens of plays about the pirate count Drake, and there are countless books of all kinds, in other countries, you can ask a commoner who the king of the English kingdom is, and the commoner may not know, but if you ask the pirate count, almost any commoner can spell out the full name of the pirate count, and even tell countless adventures about the pirate count.

At that time, in the face of the threat of maritime supremacy and maritime trade plundering of the Kingdom of Sigmar, Edward II of the Kingdom of England had to declare a sea ban to protect himself, and at the same time cut off contact with the outside world.

After that, the Kingdom of England gradually declined for more than ten years, and the connection with the three continents of the world of Veron was almost completely severed, and some of the countries on these three continents had not even heard the name of the Kingdom of England. After the death of Edward II, George II succeeded to the throne, he changed Edward II's sea ban policy, and followed the advice of the Lord Protector at that time, promoted the Sea Wolf Warrior, and opened the right to go to sea to the whole people, as long as there is a boat, anyone can go to sea to fish and trade. Pirate Count Drake is one of the most legendary and controversial heroes in this environment.

The pirate count's full name is Francis Drake, and his origins are still uncertain, some say that he was a slave of the French Empire and fled to the Kingdom of England, while others say that he is a descendant of immigrants from the Moisan continent, but the vast majority of people still believe that he is a commoner in a fishing village in the Kingdom of England.

Few people know how Drake became a seaman and how he became a captain, and most of the versions that are circulating now have been recompiled from Drake's autobiography, but some archaeologists believe that even Drake's autobiography is not entirely credible, at least the autobiography about Drake's experience before he became famous is very low.

The thing that really made everyone know the name Drake was the Battle of Planet Point, and since then, people have paid special attention to Drake's deeds, and the credibility of various rumors has increased a lot.

Cape Wangxing is the largest port in the Moisan continent, the port of Nugma port ships to the other two continents must pass through an important point, the Kingdom of Sigma colonized the Moissanite continent, after the construction of the port of Wangyang, the first time to realize the importance of the Cape of the Stars, so there are lighthouses and castles built here, specifically for the ships of the Kingdom of Sigma to provide supplies and navigation guidance, but also responsible for intercepting ships from other countries through here.

It is precisely because of the domineering behavior of the Sigma Kingdom that many countries are extremely dissatisfied with it, and secretly organize the pirate forces under their control to establish a joint fleet and raid the Gazing Star Corner, this naval battle is named the Maritime Battle of the Gazing Star Horn, which is also considered to be the turning point of the decline of the maritime hegemony of the Sigma Kingdom and the rise of the maritime hegemony of the Inge Kingdom.

Scholars from all over the world have different opinions on the course of this naval battle, and none of them have reached a conclusion, because the great war, whether it is the navy of the Sigma side or the pirate coalition secretly controlled by various countries, were all wiped out, and only a small boat and a small pirate with less than ten people survived the naval battle and took possession of all the spoils, and this pirate was Francis Drake.

Later, with the spoils of this battle, Francis Drake quickly became a great pirate in the sea of stars, and in countless adventures, he left behind all kinds of legends, and his name was so great that even the most remote towns have heard of his name.

Because of his naval combat ability and strong power, the Kingdom of England immediately sent people to recruit him into the Navy of the Kingdom of England, and directly granted him the title of Baron, and the corresponding territory, so that he was specifically responsible for dealing with the Navy of the Kingdom of Sigma.

Later, Francis Drake continued to win in naval battles with the Kingdom of Sigmar, which strengthened the maritime voice of the Kingdom of England, and because of a large number of merits, he was naturally promoted to the earl, and was granted the real power of the hereditary governor of the United States by the Royal Family of England. The Drake family he founded became one of the wealthy families of the Inge Kingdom, and created a hundred years of Drake family's rule over the United States, until the American Grecan independence movement, the Drake family left the Moisan continent and returned to settle in the old baronial fiefdom of the Inge Kingdom.

Not only did Leo read a history of the study of Drake, the pirate Earl, from the old man Rembrandt, but at that time, it was only through Drake's adventures that he judged that this person's strength was very strong, so strong that the strength of his third-level psionic power at that time was not enough to compete with him.

Now from Sue's mouth, he understands why in the legend of Drake, he can compete with the ancient gods, and can shuttle freely through those labyrinths and ruins full of various mysterious powers, it turns out that he is a powerful tower wizard.

"How do you know about such a thing?" Leo was surprised, but also a little suspicious, "As far as I know, even the Persona Society doesn't know about Drake's origin, so how can you ......?"

"My last name is Stewart. Sue responded.

At first, Leo didn't understand the meaning of Sue's words, but he quickly remembered that in the research materials he had seen, it was mentioned that Drake had been married twice, once in the maternal line of the current Drake family, and the other was a famous female pirate at the time, and this female pirate's surname seemed to be Stewart.

Leo suddenly realized, "So you are a descendant of Mary Stewart, no wonder you have the battle wizard's notes in hand, and you also know the secrets of Francis Drake." ”

Sue seemed to be very disgusted by the relationship with the Drake family, and her eyes showed a strong disgust, and after taking a deep breath to suppress the displeasure in her heart, she said to Leo: "This news is enough to compensate for this favor, you and I don't owe each other." See you soon!"

With that, she retreated into the shadows of the rocks, and fell back into the darkness, moving quickly through the darkness in an almost spatial way, away from here.

Sue didn't know what he thought was a silent method of movement, which was extremely obvious to Leo's eyes, and it was clear that as he swallowed the black shadow, he had increased not only the power of shadows, but also his perception of various dark forces. He believed that the benefits of devouring the darkness were far more than that, and that the rest might not appear until he became more familiar with the power of shadows.

Although Sue left in a dashing manner, Leo could not leave like this, and the thing he promised to weaver was not yet finished, and it would not be finished until the fleeing party had left the Dibia Mountains.

Leo remained in place to familiarize himself with the surging shadow power, but at the same time, he also used the abundant shadow power to create four shadow clones, which he controlled to quickly dismantle the traps around the refugee camp and harvest the alchemical materials on the dead relatives and psionic creatures.

Although the white deer has left, and the divine clan of the dark god has disappeared, there are still some Black Forest clans and monsters who have not left, and they still prey on these fleeing people on the spot. It's just that the invisible aura of mass death frightens them, and they don't dare to approach even if Leo's trap is removed, and the desire for blood and food in their hearts makes them reluctant to leave.

In the camp of the refugees, all of them were terrified because of the screams of the dependents and monsters killed by Leo's traps, and everyone did not have the slightest sleep, guarding the campfire, quietly waiting for the dawn.

When the first rays of the morning sun reached the camp, all the people in the camp let out cheers, but then there were some cries of grief, and it was clear that many people had not survived the previous night.
