Chapter 464: First Arrival in the Southern Continent
Arrived in the Southern Continent? It seems to be a day later than expected...... It should be caused by the "Golden Dream" deflecting its course after encountering the "Black Emperor" last time......
Abner put down the "long-handled scythe" he had just made in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "I still have some things to take care of, and I will teleport back to Gulain with you in the afternoon." โ
After all, the cost of "transmission" is so high, it can save a little is a little...... The theoretical maximum number of people that the "Edwards-Bryan Teleportation" can carry is three.
"Lieutenant General Iceberg," Adevina nodded, "I just happened to be shopping for some items." โ
After a few more small talks, Edwina used a secret technique to hide her body, and left the Aromatic Manor alone and went to the city of Baiam.
Abner, on the other hand, only after confirming her departure did he blow the bronze whistle that Jane had left him, summon the messenger of the other party, and handed the long-handled black scythe that had just been made to the white bone messenger nearly four meters tall that emerged from the void.
"Name: Scythe of the Damned
"Appearance: A long-handled scythe with a large sickle-shaped blade in the shape of a crescent.
"Abilities: The blade of the Scythe is extremely sharp, and it can easily tear through ordinary steel plate armor, and can even cut through the skin of a 'living corpse' when swung with all its might.
"Creatures cut by the blade are cursed, transformed into minions of the knife, puppets, and werewolf-like monsters, controlled by the scythe's owner, but with a short lifespan.
"The wielder of the scythe has an extremely strong ability to heal itself, and even if the heart is pierced, it is difficult to be truly killed.
"Negative effects: Every full moon or blood moon night, the blade must be sprinkled with a person's amount of fresh blood, otherwise it will eat back and suck the wielder blood;
"In addition, the wielder's desire to kill and bloodlust will increase with contact with the scythe, increasing at a rate of more than 100 times faster on the night of a full moon or blood moon.
"Suggested Use: It is recommended to use this item in conjunction with the ability to suppress desires and emotions, or to take tranquilizers with similar effects.
"Sealing Method: Place in a container that does not come into contact with any living creatures and can obscure the moonlight."
Thinking back to the "report" of the extraordinary weapon named the "Cursed Scythe", Abner felt that it had been a successful build, and that it had been in vain the craft he had practiced for so long.
"And Jane, as an extraordinary person in the 'Grim Reaper' path, uses a scythe as a weapon to complement each other, and the 'meaning' is very good...... I think she must have been very satisfied. โ
After smiling and talking to himself, Abner packed up the remaining materials, closed the workshop, and returned to his study, ready to listen to a report from Weaver "The Sea Serpent" on his work as assistant manager of the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" - the main reason why he did not immediately go to the Southern Continent with Edwina.
As for the "Red Maid" Elaine, she was so tired that she went back to her room to rest after the "Cursed Scythe" was built, and she has not recovered yet.
"The Sea Serpent" Weaver has been in high spirits these days, and with the help of Abner's money, he has been able to take over the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" relatively smoothly and is ready to host an extraordinary party next Wednesday night.
Although there were some small twists and turns during this period, Weaver relied on his own means and strength to settle the situation, and he didn't even apply for assistance from Abner.
And he came to report this time, firstly, to "ask for merit and reward", and secondly, to ask Mr. Blaine to be in charge of the next extraordinary gathering, so that no competitors would take the opportunity to make trouble.
Of course, on the surface, he was sending Detective Brian an invitation to an extraordinary party - not only here, but Byam personally came to the door to post whenever it was involved in extraordinary forces.
After listening to Weaver's report, Abner thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go to the town as a "craftsman...... When the time comes, if someone really makes trouble, it's time to "endorse for free" the extraordinary items they have created.
As for whether the official or other mysterious organizations will track down the identity of the "craftsman...... Abner wasn't too worried, for when he left Beckland, the Mother Earth Church had asked Hรฉzel to hand him a blank piece of identification.
If you really want to check it, it's a big deal for him to use this certificate to temporarily pinch a "craftsman" vest and come out...... With the endorsement of the Mother Earth God Church, it is enough to deter most of the forces.
After sending Weaver away, Abner knocked on Elaine's door again, and after telling the tired young lady to take care of the ordinary people in the manor, he went down the stairs into the underground workshop and came to the teleportation altar.
At this time, Adevina also happened to return with a bag.
Abner peeked and saw that the bag was mostly filled with various clothes and toiletries......
Adevina spotted his gaze and said calmly, "You may damage your clothes during the battle...... And Daniz, the ones they bought didn't fit well...... Change ...... every time"
Ma'am, you don't have to explain this to me...... Abner secretly slandered in his heart, but also felt that such a "lieutenant general of the iceberg" seemed to have a little more "fireworks".

In the safe passage of the Furious Sea, a Rune 1 sail warship is cleaving the waves.
The ship's hull was damaged in many places, and even the mast could be seen to be broken, apparently having suffered a major battle before.
Hugh Dilcha, dressed in a slightly altered naval uniform, emerged from the cabin on the ground floor and walked towards the cabin where Her Highness Vera lived.
The sailors on deck all subconsciously stood up straight at the sight of this majestic lady, their faces full of respect.
After all, in the previous broadside battle, this small lady not only stopped at least ten pirates by herself, but also broke the mast of the opposing ship with one punch, so that the great pirate with a bounty of 6,000 pounds could not escape in time.
"It is said that several pirates peed their pants in fear just by looking at her......"
"But why? She's obviously cute. โ
"Hehe, you don't know this, Miss Hugh has the nickname 'Invisible Fear' in Beckland!"
Listening to the whispers of the crew, Hugh couldn't help but purse her lips, even if it was a compliment, she was not very happy.
Hugh took a deep breath and adjusted his mood before knocking on the door of Her Highness Vera.
"Please come in." Vera sat in a chair and was reading a book.
Hugh, who had just walked in, just wanted to greet him, but at a glance he recognized the book in His Highness's hand as "Storm Villa" by Furth.
After all, this book was completed under her urging, and the editor specially invited her to dinner and gave her a sample book...... Hugh is all too familiar with its cover.
His Royal Highness also likes to watch love like "Stormstorm Villa"? Although there are still horror and reasoning elements in it......
While Hugh was thinking nonsense, Vera had already put down the book and asked in a soft voice, "What is the result of the 'interrogation'?" โ
Hugh came to his senses, handed over the record in his hand, and replied, "Like the previous bands of pirates, they were instigated by unknown people to attack us...... In vain to get hold of the so-called 'huge treasure' on board.
"The only difference is that this group of people is much stronger than the previous ones, and the seal in the hand of that 'Wind Favorer' is even stronger than ordinary Sequence 5...... If it weren't for His Highness, I'm afraid this battleship would have been captured by him. โ
Vera smiled when she heard this, and said meaningfully, "Even if I'm not here, it'll be fine." โ
Hugh instantly understood what Vera meant, nodded thoughtfully, and just wanted to ask His Highness what valuables this ship was escorting, but when it was attacked again and again, he saw Vera's heroic face suddenly change, and Huo Di stood up suddenly.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Hugh keenly sensed that something terrifying on Vera's body flashed away.
This feeling seems somewhat familiar...... But she couldn't remember.
While his thoughts were turning, Hugh was on guard, and he pondered his words and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?" โ
Vera stood for a few seconds as if she hadn't heard, then exhaled and replied vaguely, "Nothing...... It's all right. โ
Hugh's lips moved a few times, but he didn't speak again.

In a sea area on the west coast of the South Continent, a huge pitch-black sailing ship suddenly emerged from the void and landed on the sea.
"Viscount of Fear" Bird Mastan held a telescope on the deck and watched for a while, then he frowned, turned around and walked a short distance in only seven or eight steps, came to the corresponding bottom of the captain's quarters, and saluted respectfully:
"Earl, the 'Black Emperor' has an anomaly when it shuttles...... We didn't get to the place we were supposed to be and instead came to the vicinity of Behrens. โ
After a brief silence, a deep and majestic voice came from the captain's room:
"I see...... Hunting in Behrens nearby. โ
"Do as you will!" Bird Mastan respectfully agreed.
After Bird went to convey the order, Nast, the "King of the Five Seas" sitting on the iron-black throne, muttered to himself in confusion:
"The fog just now...... What is it?
"That's what Adabao wants to try?"

On Sunia Island, a puff of black smoke suddenly rose from the burly body of Panin, the senior deacon of the God of War Church, and when it dissipated, a man with slender cheeks, round eyes, and a red suit showed his figure a little embarrassed.
It was he who had helped Nast take on the "Duke of Terror" Adabao of Panin after the Pirate Tournament.
At this moment, he was in a terrible state, streams of magma flowed out of his mouth and nose, and the wings and tail belonging to the demon were uncontrollably torn and grown...... Apparently already on the verge of spiraling out of control.
Fortunately, Panin used his extraordinary ability to seal off the space, otherwise half of the extraordinary people on Sunia Island would probably be alarmed by the demon's breath.
It took a long time for Yadabao to finally return to normal, with her wings and tail folded.
"Sure enough, it's you......
"I didn't expect you to become the princess of House Augustus......"
Yadabao pushed his glasses, an exaggerated smile on his lips.

Southern Continent, Gulain City.
Transported from the Aromatic Estate to the Golden Dream, Abner soon found himself in the layered city built on the mountain.
He changed into Doctor Strange, carrying a suitcase, and walked in a random direction, looking for houses to "help" along the way.
Yes, he didn't plan to stay in a hotel or rent a house from a regular channel, after all, he was going to make a high-profile trouble here, and he couldn't let people know where he lived.
At this time, a teenage girl suddenly chased after her from behind, and shouted as she ran, "Sir, you dropped something." โ
Abner stopped, glanced back at the beautiful silver card in the girl's hand, and smiled gently, "Thank you, little girl." Your quality is more valuable than this card...... So, I decided to give it to you. โ
With that, Abner turned and left. And the girl was stunned for a moment, and then tried to excuse herself, but found that she could no longer see the figure of the gentleman just now.
She stamped her foot in frustration, ready to put away her card and come back tomorrow to see if she could meet the gentleman......
At the same time, silver cards appeared in various neighborhoods, either picked up or dropped into people's pockets or packages......
