The battle went even more smoothly than Roman had imagined, and his fate was sealed after the two ships encircled the pirate ship.

"Sothoth!"

From there came the rough voice of Leias:

"You came just in time!"

Leias and several sailors boarded the Black Falcon, while Sothos. Jan is directing the sailors to help repair the Rum and clear the pirate ship of supplies.

There was no objection on the side of Leias, in this case, according to the unspoken rules of the sea, the two sides were to share the spoils of war.

And Sotos. After a while, Jan also learned why the "Rum" had suffered such heavy losses.

An enemy Pandan hit an ammunition storage point at the stern of the ship, causing a chain of explosions that not only caused many casualties, but also broke the hull of the "Rum" and even damaged some components of the steam engine.

Sothos. Jan also sighed with a sigh of bad luck, and expressed his admiration for the fake shelling and real broadside combat method adopted by Laias just now.

As more familiar, Sotos. Jan didn't hide his feelings.

And Leias changed his expression slightly, and he diverted the topic. Jan talked about the arrangements for the future.

In the case of the "Rum", there was no way to continue to go to sea, but fortunately, when the "Black Falcon" was encountered, it was not a problem to return to Nas after a day's voyage, and the ship was able to continue to use it after a certain degree of maintenance there.

It's just that the plan to go to sea to hunt for treasure is going to be delayed.

Laias seemed to have some special interest in the treasure shipwreck, and Roman, who was silent on the sidelines, listened to the meaning of his words, and wanted to hint at Sothos several times. Jan can go out to sea with the ship in search of treasure.

It's a pity for Sotos. Jan had made an appointment with Roman, and after dealing with Nath's affairs, they returned to Byam together, not particularly interested in the so-called shipwrecks and treasures.

However, some adventurers were moved by Laias's words and seemed to want to give it a try.

After settling down for the rest of the trip, in order to show his sincerity, Leias did not go to the pirate ship, but sent some sailors to receive the ship, and together with the "Black Falcon", dragged the wounded "Rum" towards Nas.

As for how to distribute the spoils, keep and monitor the prisoners, and treat the wounded, there are naturally professional personnel on the ship to deal with these things, everyone is a veteran adventurer, and it is not Roman's turn to deal with these things.

At night, Roman was in Sotos. Jan's captain's room, with whom he discussed the evening battle.

Through understanding, Roman knew that some of the previous circumstances of that Leas had further deepened Roman's doubts.

But Roman didn't say anything, those were his own instincts, and he couldn't seem to count them.

Arriving at the Black Falcon's restaurant, Roman was about to look for some food, when he saw Leas eating in the restaurant with several sailors.

I used to arrange various affairs, and I have been busy until now.

Roman was not surprised by this, nodded to them, said hello, took a piece of bacon, and was about to return to his room.

It's just that when Roman was leaving, he saw that the "martial artist" Leias was eating, and his legs under the table were shaking strangely.

Roman's eyes narrowed slightly, and he casually filled a glass of rum and returned to his cabin.

This way of shaking your legs...... Seems to have been seen somewhere.

Late at night, Roman was preparing to write a letter to Miss Anne.

The progress of the potion digestion is faster than expected, and Roman is about to prepare for the promotion.

The promotion ceremony aside, Roman needs to restore the "Guardian Shield" in his hand to the extraordinary characteristics of the "Guardian".

Roman himself was still hesitant, but after "communication" with the "Guardian Shield" today, Roman still made up his mind.

It was so tired that it wanted a good night's sleep.

As for how to restore it to extraordinary properties, Roman himself has an idea.

This shield comes from the Church of the Night Goddess, and is theoretically given to the Church, or to the Goddess

God prays that perhaps it can be restored to extraordinary properties.

And praying to the Lord of the Storm is the same.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Roman still gave up this idea.

On the one hand, it is not possible to rely on the "preference" of the gods to oneself and pray to the gods unscrupulously.

Believe in the power of the gods, but don't believe in their mercy.

They don't know what they will pay in the future, and they are not great beings who follow the principle of "equivalent exchange" like Mr. Fool.

Speaking of Mr. Fool, it is that the level he can reach with the gray mist is too low, otherwise it would be best to let him help.

Roman obviously can't wait for that time.

So, after much thought, Roman decided to turn to Miss Anne for help.

Roman remembers that she said that there is a "0" level seal beneath St. Hillland's Church of the Steam Church, roughly equivalent to the "Light Chaser" in Sequence 2 of the "Sun" pathway.

It can be used in place of the blood of the Eternal Sun to answer prayers and create the "Sunfire" charm.

Theoretically, using it, it is possible to restore the "Guardian Shield" to its extraordinary characteristics.

And the price of borrowing that "0" level seal once Roman has already thought about it, which is to help the Steam Church recover that Russell's crown and a "scroll professor" merit.

I hope Miss Anne will help her apply to the Steam Church for access to the "Level 0" seal.

Just as Roman was writing to Miss Anne about his journey along the way, a question suddenly occurred to him.

Sothos. Jan, as a high-level member of the Adventurers' Mutual Aid Association, also has Sequence 7, and is considered to be good on the sea, but he does not have a suitable magical item or "seal" by his side.

This makes the upper limit of his strength only Sequence 7, and there are shortcomings.

With so many extraordinary properties in his hands, it seems that he can commission Miss Anne to make a magical item and then give it to Sothos at a low price. Yang?

With Roman's understanding of him, he would not accept it if he sent it directly, but he should not refuse to sell it at the lower market price.

He really treats Roman as a junior, and Roman has to think about him.

I just don't know what kind of extraordinary item he needs, is it one with strong life-saving ability, or does he want an item with strong attack power?

Thinking about this, Roman got up and planned to go to Sothos. Jan's room to see, he shouldn't have slept yet.

Roman pushed open the door and walked over to Sothos. Outside Jan's room, looking at the flickering candlelight inside, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

How can there be two sitting figures inside? But no one spoke?

Roman cautiously knocked on the door, but seeing that there was still no response, he slammed Sothos. Jan's door opened.

I saw that the captain of the "Rum", Leias, was talking to Sotos. Jan sat at a table while Sothos. Something was clearly not right with Young's state.

His eyes moved slowly, as if trying to express something, but as if they had been slowed down and stiffened.

Leas, who was opposite him, was also motionless, his eyes open, his gaze blazing.

Although he didn't know what was happening, Roman condensed a yellowish rocket and rushed towards Leas.

And in the case of the attack, Leias's own body that was sitting upright suddenly burst into flames, and instantly turned into ashes.

And in the corner of the wall in the distance, a flash of fire suddenly burst out.

In the darkness, the firelight suddenly expanded, and a figure leaped out of the firelight.

None other than Laias.

Roman walked to Sotos on the side. Young's side looked at the figure in the corner.

"Magician?"
