Chapter XXXVIII
On the Sea of Sunia, a ship tens of meters long was sailing steadily, with its towering chimneys spraying mist and huge canvases hanging from the air, and its deck was rubbed unusually bright, reflecting the color of gold coins in the sun.
On the deck, along the central axis, there is a main cannon with a faint sheen and interlaced runes, which is small but extremely intimidating, which is why it can crisscross the sea.
Its name is the Golden Dream, the ship of Vice Admiral Edwina Edwards and her only ship.
"Captain." The three pairs of Yoderson, dressed as staff and wearing a flower bow tie at the neckline, stepped forward and whispered.
"Some of our informants on land have been detained."
"They claim to belong to an organization that revives the Tudor Empire, and are currently fighting the sick girl for the legacy of Lieutenant General Hurricane. Their leader sent a message through an informant who wanted to board the Golden Dream. ”
"Revive the Tudor Empire?" Lieutenant General Iceberg, with long brown hair and light blue eyes, repeated with some confusion.
"Where are they now?"
"They are still in the waters east of the Roth Islands, and some of the petty pirates and crew members belonging to the Lieutenant General of the Hurricane have taken refuge in them."
The beautiful and intellectual pirate lady gently looked at the junction of the blue sea and the sky in the distance, and her slightly thin lips opened and closed slightly.
"Then go to the Roth Islands and meet them."
……
Many people yearn for the sea because they have never seen it, and when they do, they cannot understand why the people of the sea do not yearn for it as much as they do.
Most of the inhabitants of the Roth Islands have settled here since their ancestors. They relied on the bounty of the sea, and lived a not very happy but barely survivable life, until the colonists of Rune poured into the area like the colonists of Intis and Fursac.
The "noble" nobles of Rune built their own roads, docks, residences, factories, and plantations, burned forests, indiscriminately mined deposits, raped ** women, slaughtered the aborigines, and packaged and sold all the resources here, including manpower.
And those natives would never have thought that the "old men" who made them kneel down to kiss the vamps of their shoes were just some waste in Beckland that did not enter the inheritance of the minor nobles, and of course such waste was also extremely rare among the "old men", and most of them were nothing before they came here.
This is the charm of the times, the development of the steam era started by Russell the Great pushed the power of the kingdoms of the Northern Continent to an unprecedented height. Relying on the development and prosperity of the productive forces, they used guns and ships to conquer the territories that once belonged to the people of the sea.
As the outcasts of the times, the rebels, the Highland kingdoms, or other organizations that are still alive today. They could no longer compete with the nations of the Northern Continent under the leadership of the glorious Eggers family, as they did in the Quaternary Age, but they were like fat lambs to be slaughtered.
Arturo Andreillard had returned to the sea with the ships he had captured and possessed, and it had to be said that he was a worthy demon, and the pirates could not imagine how perverted this seemingly elegant and gentle young man was compared to them in terms of torture methods, although he only had Sequence 8 at the moment, his bounty had surpassed some of the pirates of Sequence 7 by approaching a thousand pounds.
Currently used as the flagship by Elle is a medium-sized four-masted galleon in the former "Hurricane" Chillingus fleet, about 50 meters in length, with a double deck from bow to stern, the main battle guns mounted on the side of the ship, seven 4-pounder guns on each side, and light rapid-fire guns on the front and rear floors.
While most of the pirate's ships at sea were not up to this level, in Fatima's opinion, it was still far from being a pirate flagship comparable to Sequence 5.
The existence of supernatural factors did not make the shipbuilding industry stagnate, and even greatly promoted the emergence of a similar "Pritz", compared to cultivating a group of transcendentals, an ironclad ship that only needs ordinary people to have great power is more cost-effective.
At present, for Elle, what she lacks most is not ships, nor gold pounds, and the means to make money for doing a business, but the lack of Sequence 6 and Sequence 7 extraordinaries who can serve as the high-level of the pirate group, but unfortunately, neither the "serial killer" nor the "bribe-taker" potions have been fully collected.
Four other smaller sailing ships, just over twenty meters long, followed closely behind the flagship, while in the middle of the fleet there was a hybrid freighter that had been visibly transformed and temporarily served as a warehouse.
Arturo played a large role in the development of the fleet, and it can even be said that if it weren't for him, it would have been almost impossible for Elle to snatch the four-masted schooner from the hands of the "sick girl", and he was a skilled "criminal" who was far better at creating horrific assassinations than the "assassins".
"That's good." The girl with long silver hair stood on the stern tower, her petite figure facing away from the man in a trench coat who was more than 1.8 meters tall, and the latter lowered her head very respectfully, as if she did not think that the blindfolded girl could not perceive her movements.
"You're a thousand-pound gentleman now, how about you get promoted to a thousand-pound promotion within three years?" The girl with the black ribbon on her eyes joked to him easily.
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to become an 'apostle of desire' to reach that level." He looked respectfully and passionately at the ring on the girl's slender white finger, feeling the familiar and terrifying feeling.
"I feel like that day will come soon." A sweet smile appeared on Elle's face, she stopped controlling Arturo's desires without a trace, for the extraordinary people of the "fate" path, although simply conforming to fate and revering fate can better digest the potion, but the final result will only be to become a puppet of fate, of course, many times it will be called "incarnation" or "spokesperson".
……
It takes about 9 days to sail from Plitz Port to the Rorsted Islands, and of course there are many subtle but enough changes in Beckland, the capital of Mandos, during this time. Sherlock Moriarty gradually came into contact with Meursault, Fersack's spy, through Ian Wright.
At the same time, Hazel began to frequently attend various Extraordinaire gatherings, gathering materials for Elle about the "Serial Killer" and "Bribe-taker", as well as the promotion potions needed by other crew members.
However, what surprised her the most was the first official mandate issued by Mr. "Fool" at the tarot meeting on Monday.
Assassinate the Ambassador of the Republic of Antis to the Kingdom of Rune, Békron Jean Martin!
After trading some of the esoteric and other occult knowledge, Hazel also accepted the commission along with the "Justice" and the "Hanged Man".
Although I don't want to go, it doesn't mean that I can't entrust others to do it! With the same feelings, she was also ready to contact a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, whom she had met not long ago.
Soon, the young lady changed into the costume she had used to dive into the sewers, wrapped her wrist around Jörmungad, and slipped out of the house to Iron Gate Street.
Well, today is the time for the great detectives of the Knowledge Church to hold a meeting. Hazel pulled the hood of her robe, and beneath it was a mask of extremely ornate silver scales.
"Recently, there have been more wild beasts in the sewers, and they have eaten a lot of the herbs I have grown."
"They're very smart, they haven't touched any poisonous ones, I need someone to clean them up for me, you know, it's not my specialty, I'm only good at mixing potions and treating you."
Hazel looked coldly at the chubby man who covered his face with a half-face mask, and spat him in his heart with some disgust.
A shameless stinky man who will only peddle his disgusting potions all day long.
"I'm going to sell two weapons. One is the Runic Steel Sword, made by the Church of the Eternal Sun, with purifying and exorcism effects......"
Is this woman again? There should be a strong craftsman sequence behind her, and she has been buying the barbarian's formula, in fact, I can consider getting one from Elle.
"I'm going to sell an item." She heard a low voice, which felt a little familiar, but suddenly she heard the mental exchange of Jörmungandre on her wrist.
"Don't go to him while I'm attached to you." Hazel eventually looked away, but still looked at the man under the black robes with the light of his eyes, not with his vision.
I shouldn't have seen it before, but I have a sense of familiarity inexplicably. She saw the man unleash a jelly-like mass of crimson properties.
"What do you want?" She asked lightly.
There are people who recognize this thing, she just looks at it, and there is no need for divination or identification...... Klein also looked at the only woman wearing a distinctive silver full-face mask, and carefully reported his request.
Isinger, who was on the single sofa, saw that Hazel asked about this extraordinary property, and after much thought, he finally did not speak.
Why would that extraordinary person be interested in these little gatherings? The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be deeper, and he looked at the extraordinary person who had come directly to his house with some headaches.
