Chapter XII

"Lieutenant General Hurricane, Ziringers?"

Richard Ernst's pale brown eyes showed undisguised hatred, and the well-restrained anger was expressed in his words and deeds, "Do you remember what you did to a passenger ship named "Calendula" in August of this year? ”

Ziringos gasped for breath with difficulty, keenly aware that this matter should be the reason why this Rose School powerhouse had sought him out. In August, when he was hunting at sea this year? How does he remember what he did?...... He's a pirate, and a pirate is all about robbing, killing, and robbing women, and he's done so many things, where can he remember a small passenger ship? Calendula, calendulaβ€”he tried his best to dig out a few words from his mind, and thought of a blue ship.

There wasn't much money in it, only chattering children and unattractive nurse women, and the only thing that could impress him was their melodious but hoarse screams before they died, only the Sequence 6 huntress hidden in them. The mad woman was not very old, and she was not merciless in killing people, and she was caught off guard and lost seven or eight sailors to Ziringus, and then ......

The provoked Chillingers put her on display and dropped a blood-stained pendant from the huntress's neck – a few simple lines outlining a winding path of thorns and flowers, the symbol of the "Pilgrimage Sect", said to be the governing organization behind the "Ernst Foundation". The Lieutenant General was silent for two seconds, but the group had no other prominent powerhouse other than its leader, so he kicked the badge into the sea along with the corpse.

"Don't remember? Also. Richard whispered, "You take the children like toys and tear off their limbs, gouge out their eyes, cut their throats because they cry, and throw them into the sea to feed the fish." Together with the girl, only twelve incomplete bodies were found among the fifty people. And Wilhelmina, the gentle Wilhelmina, who was torn apart by you, because she was strong and brave, and thus became the only girl on the entire ship who was not defiled. ”

"They have just left the slums of Intis and are going to settle in a welfare home in Rune, where they have a new life, a new job, a new bed, and a new life in the future...... All this is ruined by your stupidity, ignorance and cruelty. Zielingers, you're waiting for death, right? I will not let you go to the kingdom of the Lord of the Storms, I will send you to the kingdom of God of the Lord for a never-ending painful struggle in the abyss and hell. ”

"No, I've ...... Paid...... Price! Hearing this, Ziringos hurriedly spoke, and a strong desire to survive ignited in his heart, "Intis, cough, the navy killed the participants at that time, I can, I can compensate ......!" ”

"No, I don't." The Angel of Temperance replied coldly, avoiding the other man's outstretched hand, and stomped on the ground in disgust and crushed it a few times, "Your life is the best compensation for me and my companions." ”

Richard looked up in the direction of the Duke's mansion, where the lights were bright, but there was a faint sound of hurried footsteps, and the Duke was already arranging for men. He leaned down and ripped the bloodthirsty glove from Zielingers' left hand, "wriggling hunger" immobilized by the majesty of the angel.

At that moment, He turned his head abruptly and looked in a certain direction. I saw that there were many shadows there, and I don't know when a person's figure was condensed, and a little of the breath of decay and death permeated, making him frown.

"Someone from the Spirit Order? What are you doing here? He asked.

Hearing this, the bronze-skinned gentleman who appeared there had a confused look in his eyes for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful expression. Azik looked at the "wriggling hunger" trembling in Richard's hand and replied, "I have nothing to do with the Spirit Order. And he said, "That item seems to be helpful to me, can you transfer it to me?" ”

He saw that the expression of the young man opposite became strange, and he was a little embarrassed for a while. He was still at the point where he had vague memories and could only recall a few fragments occasionally, and he was vague about extraordinary powers, and he was obviously unable to come up with a suitable price to trade with him.

But the glove gave him a familiar feeling, and he felt that if he could get it, he might be able to recall a lot of fragments if he studied it carefully.

"Twenty thousand." The youth said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What? Azik didn't react.

"This gentleman, as you can see, this is a wriggling hunger, an extraordinary item corresponding to the Sequence Five of the 'Secret Prayer Man' pathway, which is already filled with souls, capable of adapting to all kinds of opponents, and basically all contingencies, enough to make a Sequence Six a pirate general at the top, you have also seen." The young man kicked Zilingers, and his skillful advertising appearance made people suspect that he had once been a veteran salesman, "Twenty thousand pounds is not a premium at all, and it is even a very good deal, after all, even with its well-known negative effects of cannibalism and devouring lords, its own abilities are extremely good, and you don't seem to need to worry about this small side effect." It's the right price if you want. ”

Azik grimaced a subtle expression, quickly recalling the legacy that his past self had left behind his present self, and the extraordinary items seemed to have been separated into several locations, and the money was mostly in the form of gold coins and jewels. Although 20,000 pounds is a lot, he can still take out the few inheritances in his current memory - he suddenly has a strange feeling, like buying something in a store, if he thinks it is too expensive, maybe this strange powerhouse will give him a discount.

He held back a smile and asked in a deep voice, "Okay, how can I give you the money?" ”

"Just go to any of the Ernst Foundation institutions in the city and tell the person in charge that you want to donate." Richard breathed a sigh of relief and was a little happier. He had originally planned to sell the magical item, but now it would be nice if someone "ordered" it right away.

He threw the "wriggling hunger" in his hand, and the soft sound of falling water was heard at his feet. In the two minutes that the two high-level sequences were talking, Zilingus climbed into the canal with his hands firmly.

Richard watched him coldly, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and threw it into the drain. There was dried and blackened blood on this handkerchief, and there was also a small smiling face embroidered by a young girl, but what was more striking was a few words composed of small blood characters:

"Hurricane"

"You did it in the middle of the night, and went to the sea where you hadn't set foot before, thinking you were doing something hidden, but Wilhelmina left a clue, with her cruelly broken hand, and the only piece of remains that was not destroyed."

Richard said. He watched as the handkerchief fell into the water, and in an instant it turned into an agile swimming fish, cutting into the desperate fleeing Ziringos at an unusually dexterous angle, wrapping around his neck. When the sailor breathes underwater, fish-like gills grow on the side of his face, the handkerchief pulls the entire gills of the sailor out of the flesh like an experienced hunter. Under the gaze of the two high sequences, the canal was instantly filled with blood as if it had been splashed with a large area of red paint. After a few struggles, a few bubbles, the body of the "Lieutenant General of the Hurricane" floated up, in a pool of blood, and his face froze with an extremely hideous and painful expression.

And the handkerchief was tied around his neck, as if playfully knotted by a pair of invisible hands.

Azik left silently with his human skin gloves, and Richard stood where he was, waiting for the Duke's bodyguards who had arrived from afar. He took a small notebook from the pocket of his jacket, turned to the latest page, and solemnly wrote down the date, and "Twenty thousand pounds + the bounty of Chillingus____"

That's great. The Angel of Temperance thought that this year's harvest was very good, he raised 100,000 pounds from the nobles of Fursack, and he actually met Lieutenant General Hurricane on a trip, and this time he not only took revenge, but also got the gratitude of the Duke and the Earl, and those who were good at psychic would ask the true purpose from Ziringus's mouth, which was not in his hands. At present, today's income will be 30,000 pounds, and for the sake of the event, the charity donations in the past two days will be more than in previous years...... He is about to leave for the kingdoms of Lenburg and Fenerport, hoping that Mother Earth will be as merciful as ever.

"Expect 150,000 pounds...... No new institutions will be built for the time being, and a third of the people in charge have responded that the local facilities need to be renovated...... Winter is coming, so the children should be happy to buy cotton and cloth, and each workhouse and welfare home can sew new sheets and quilts by themselves, saving money, and making some new clothes for the rest...... Hospitals have bought some medicines, added some beds, and patients also need nutrition...... Looks like we're going to have a good time this winter. ”

Richard bit the shaft of his pen, thought about it, and laughed softly.

"It has been investigated that Ziringers was asked by some mysterious organization to assassinate Duke Negan, but for some reason he didn't do it tonight." Duke Negan's younger brother, Prime Minister Ashgood, replied, "But what's the matter with that corpse?" Who did it? ”

"It's the great philanthropist we all know, who came to the ball tonight, and was commissioned by Earl Hall to test Zielingers." Ace Snake replied, "Zielingers died cleanly, with little sign of retaliation, and the wriggling hunger didn't allow him to escape." ”

"This Sage is not easy to control, he does not accept investment or open donation channels, he only accepts material aid and some sponsorship." Duke Negan chuckled, "No wonder he is still destitute to this day. ”

Hearing the newsboy's cries, Klein hurriedly pulled out a penny coin and took a copy of the Tingen Morning Post from the newsboy outside the carriage, and many of the passengers in the carriage made the same choice. Unfolded the newspaper, and the headline in bold capital letters immediately rushed into Klein's eyes-

The Great Pirate Zielingers was shot dead by the Duke's bodyguards in Beckland.

Is Zielingers dead? What happened last night...... There is not much related news, only the time, place and events are explained, and the rest of the details are left to everyone to use their imagination. Miss Justice informed me, and I also relayed it to Mr. Azik and Mr. "The Hanged Man", and it seems that Mr. Azik should have succeeded, and there was no follow-up incident, and he was indeed a high-order extraordinary person beyond my imagination.

As the main boss of this incident, Crane had no sense of actual participation at all, and when the passengers in the carriage were enthusiastically discussing who would belong to Ziringers' bounty of up to 10,000 pounds, Crane was in a trance and felt a violent loss. But then he thought that he had no way to receive the reward, so he had to fold the newspaper and look out the carriage window.

He happened to see an acquaintance, Ademisor, who was born a "monster". Ademisor glanced in a certain direction, and then suddenly fell to the ground with bleeding eyes, and asked the people next to him to quickly crouch down to check the situation - what happened? Klein is a spirit.

He hurriedly poked his head out to look out, but the carriage had already left the street, and he saw nothing.
