Chapter Ninety-Eight: Touched from Behind the Ass
"Aurora?"
Audrey, who was still a little hesitant, suddenly lit up.
Oh, yes.
Mr. Fool had wanted his dependents to do it.
But it is worthy of the help of a god's favorite, this ambassador must not be an ordinary person!
Because even if Mr. Fool changes his mind, he will let the Aurora Society come forward by name!
You must know that there is a god behind the Aurora Club!
It's an evil god, but it's also a real god!
And what about this ambassador?
Who is behind him?
The Republic of Intis is certain, but it is certainly not the Republic of Intis.
Because if it's just that, it's not worth the shot of Mr. Fool at all.
Then it could only be another evil god!
Mr. Fool named Mr. A to make a move, which may also involve the game at the god level!
Now, she's fortunate enough to be a part of it......
The girl, who was still a little hesitant, instantly became excited, and she took this task! No one can stop them!
"Mr. Fool."
Audrey thought for a moment and replied with some caution, "I can try to accomplish this task, but it may not be successful." β
She'd love to be a part though.
But she didn't say it too slowly, because she wanted to do more research beforehand.
"What do you want to get paid?"
The fool bowed slightly, and asked with a smile.
"Hmm~,"
Audrey thought for a moment and hesitated, "This can be discussed after the task is completed, if it doesn't work out, the cost will be borne by myself." And, after all, I owe your family a bounty. If the quest can be completed and the cost does not exceed the bounty, no reward is required. β
The bounty she was talking about was that of Ziringers.
Although it was Mr. Fool's family who killed Ziringus, it was obviously inconvenient for the other party to show up, so the bounty ended up on Audrey, who found Zilingus.
"Ten thousand gold pounds, and five thousand pounds in half."
Mr. Fool suddenly felt a little envious, but unfortunately he couldn't come forward, otherwise he could get the 5,000 gold pounds.
Unfortunately.
Poverty limits his imagination.
Ziringus's bounty is not ten thousand, but at least thirty thousand!
In half, he can get at least 15,000 pounds!
Of course, it made no difference to Klein whether it was five thousand or fifteen thousand pounds.
Because he couldn't have come forward to take the money anyway.
"Miss Justice."
Ember suddenly spoke up, "This matter is best handled by a strange extraordinary. β
"I understand."
Audrey nodded solemnly.
After all, Mr. A is a member of the Aurora Society, although he is short of money, he will most likely accept this task.
But it is not ruled out that he will attack the client on a whim.
So the best thing to do is to find a strange extraordinary person to do it.
Although there is still the possibility of being traced down by the vine.
But if it really came to that point, Audrey could have informed the Orthodox Church.
After the exchange of several members, Klein announced that this is the end of the tarot for the week.
Sending off Miss Justice and the others, Klein did not leave the gray fog for the first time.
Instead, sit in your place and fall into deep thought.
"If Mr. A makes a move, it should be foolproof, right?"
Although the Hangman's analysis makes sense, the fact is that the 'Fool' himself does not know if there are any other evil gods behind the ambassador.
The reason why he wants to kill the other party is simply because if he doesn't kill the ambassador soon, it may be a few days before the newspaper will run the news that an unknown detective accidentally drowned in a stinking ditch.
He had thought about asking Ember to help.
But first, he still owes Ember two things, and second, Ember is not in Beckland now.
So he actually has only two paths to choose -
First, take the initiative to reveal your identity and go to the Night Church to turn yourself in to get asylum.
But this will inevitably be interrogated by the Church of the Night, and may even be 'sliced and studied'.
So this path can only be considered an alternative.
And other than that, look for the members of the Tarot Society.
The embers and the hanged man in the Sunia Sea, and the sun in the Godforsaken Land, could not be counted on.
The only one who can be counted on is Miss Justice.
Miss Justice offered to kill Mr. A.
Because of his status as a 'fool', he can't explain much.
So it's all up to other people's brains.
And the god-assisted of the hanged man as always, also raised this matter to the 'god level' game.
From the current point of view, this matter should be stable.
"But ......"
Crane sighed softly, it wasn't enough to find someone to assassinate the ambassador.
After all, before he really succeeded, the ambassador might still send someone to kill him.
So, he had to find himself a bodyguard with enough weight.
β¦β¦
"Bang!"
No sooner had his consciousness returned to his body than Alger heard the sound of the wind whistling in his ears.
His expression sank, and he immediately realized that there was danger outside.
After a moment's hesitation, Alger rushed out of the captain's room at the first opportunity.
As a result, as soon as he stepped onto the deck, his expression froze on his face, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
For he saw that the three silver knights summoned by Ember were standing on the side of the gunwale, and out of nowhere, they took out large arrows like iron spears and put them on the dragon hunting bow, and shot wildly at one galleon after another in the distance.
And the whistling wind he heard was the sound of pulling the bowstring to fire.
Alger silently pulled out his binoculars and looked over.
The ravaged sailing ship's cabin had long since been flooded and was now more than half sunk.
There was even a lot of debris to be seen next to the sailboat, and it was clear that this was not the first 'shipwreck'.
All right.
The danger does exist, but not them.
"Smack!"
Alger heard footsteps behind him and subconsciously turned his head.
Then I saw Ember come to the deck at some point, looking at the sailboat in the distance and muttering.
"Those ships ......"
"Don't worry."
Alger seemed to see Ember in his mind, explaining, "This is already the edge of the Rorsted Sea, and neither cruise ships nor merchant ships will be here, let alone take this lane, only other pirates will appear here." β
"Nope."
Ember shook his head and said calmly, "I mean, can you drive the ship to those ships first, I need to recover the dragon hunting arrows on them." β
The dragon hunting arrow uses one less one, and it is better to recycle it as much as possible.
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Alger's eyes twitched.
I thought you were worried about killing innocents, but you were concerned about whether these arrows could be recycled?
Andβ
Alger glanced at the Silver Knight, who had pulled out the arrows like iron spears from behind his buttocks, and couldn't figure out where they had pulled out the arrows.
It doesn't take much time to recover the arrows.
So Alger happily fulfilled Ember's request, and by the way, he also made a fortune from the fresh shipwreck.
It was only after all of this that they finally set sail for the pristine island.
When driving on a safe channel, the sea is calm.
Two nautical miles away from the safe waterway, however, is a different story altogether.
There the clouds were stacked and pressed very low.
Even the actual hurricanes that can be found are raging back and forth, covering the vast sea area.
Under the light of silver and white lightning, the fine rainstorm danced with the wind.
From time to time, thick tentacles burst into the sky from the wind-swept sea, and at the same time rolled up a tsunami.
It's a post-apocalyptic scene!
And that's why Alger is confident that no one but him will be able to find the island-
Because they need to sail through the apocalyptic waters of this sea monster lurking storm for a full six hours to reach their destination!
Even if you are familiar with the route, you may sink due to a sea monster attack on the way.
So even for Alger, every visit to the island is a life-threatening adventure.
"We'll have to be careful."
Steering the ghost ship into the route he knew, Alger told the embers, "We could be attacked by a sea monster at any time......
Before the words fell, the roar of artillery immediately sounded in the ears of the two of them.
"Boom! Bang! Bang! β
The guns on the port side of the Blue Avenger were unmanned, but dozens of cannons were sprayed in an instant, hitting a sea monster not far away with a huge octopus head that was waving its tentacles at them with malicious intentions.
The octopus's head hurts, it roars like a hiss, and retracts to the bottom of the sea.
"Like I said."
Alger took a deep breath and shook his head, "It's dangerous here, we need to be vigilant at all times. β
Alger was also a little glad in his heart.
Thankfully, this is a ghost ship that doesn't need to be operated by a sailor.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him alone to pass through this sea area intact.
Of course.
Alger glanced blankly at the embers.
Ember can also be counted as a second layer of insurance.
The three Silver Knights he summoned alone all had at least the ability to match Sequence 6 or even Sequence 5.
As for Sequence 4?
It was already the realm of demigods, and he didn't think these silver knights had this kind of strength.
"Want to help?"
Ember asked suddenly.
"No, not yet."
Alger shook his head and smiled, "You can't waste those big arrows, can you?" I can't help you recover it in this area, so I'd better do it myself. β
"Okay."
Ember nodded lightly when he heard this, and did not force it.
In fact, Alger has his own plans.
Although it was said to be a bargain, he traded the coordinates of the island for Ember help.
But Alger knew he had to show some value-
If you have to do everything with Ember, then what else do you want him to do?
This time, though, it was two people walking together.
But if he seems too cumbersome, the next Ember may bypass him.
That's not a good thing.
So, he has to show enough value.
This would ensure that Ember would take him with him the next time she came.
"Boom! Bang! β
Another burst of continuous fire, and a dozen or so shells once again pushed back a menacing sea monster.
But Alger's heart did not become relaxed because of this, but his spirit was tense.
Although the Blue Avenger is a ghost ship, it can be loaded with more shells without the need for sailors, but there are times when more shells run out.
If we continue at this rate, we will still be able to reach the pristine island safely, but what will we do when we return?
Alger subconsciously touched the pocket of his clothes, where there were several sea creature proximity charms.
These spells will allow the Krakens to stop trying to attack the Blue Avenger.
But these spells are only alternatives.
It's not that the spell is not easy to use, the main thing is that it is expensive.
That's why he chose to use cheaper shells first.
But if this continues, even if you use up these charms, you may not be able to guarantee safety.
At that point, it will still be necessary for the embers to make a move.
Ember shots are bound to ensure safety, which is a fact that those Silver Knights have verified.
But Alger didn't want to get to that point anyway.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to do an experiment."
Ember looked at a sea monster attacking again in the distance, and suddenly said.
Alger was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Please." β
He was already ready to fire, but since Ember was in need, he couldn't wait.
And.
He was also curious about what Ember wanted to experiment.
As a result, the next second, Ember pulled out an object out of nowhere.
Alger looked intently, only to realize that it was a skull that was emitting a ghostly light.
Then he saw Ember walk in the direction of the stern of the ship and throw the skull into the distance.
ββ¦β¦β
Alger stopped talking.
He thought the skull was going to be some kind of magical item, but you threw it out so casually.
Didn't you say doing experiments?
What kind of experiment is this?
Just as he was wondering, a sea monster roar suddenly sounded in Alger's ears.
Subconsciously looked over, only to find that countless tentacles suddenly stretched out from the sea around the hull.
Several sea monsters with huge eyes emerged from the bottom of the sea, ignoring the nearby ghost ship and instead surging in a direction towards the stern of the ship in a frenzy.
And that direction is pointing to the exact location where Ember threw the skull.
"It works."
Ember touched his chin, thoughtful.
γTempting Skullγ
[A skull tainted with the scent of the soul.]
An item given by the Mentor of the Secluded Church.
When thrown, it scatters in all directions,
can lure nearby enemies closer,
But it doesn't work for all enemies. γ
If it is on land, the effect of luring the enemy's skull is not so obvious.
But at sea, its range of effect is surprisingly large, and even sea monsters from a nautical mile away are attracted to it.
Of course.
It may also be that this group of sea monsters has a better 'sense of smell'.
"That skull can attract sea monsters?"
Alger immediately realized the role of the skull, but subconsciously had a bold idea-
Since it can attract sea monsters, can it be used for Yin people?
For example, tie the skull to an arrow and shoot it into the ships of other pirates.
Could that lure a sea monster into attacking other pirate ships?
The idea was only momentarily apparent, but it was quickly discarded by Alger, who began to control the ghost ship to speed up and escape the sea.
With so many sea monsters around, who knows if they will suddenly turn around and attack the Blue Avenger?
While they are attracted by the skull, it is better to leave quickly.
