Chapter 108: Simulated Teardrops: I Don't Make It!
[Soul +5000000]
【Soul of Demigod Jax】
['Silent Disciple' Extraordinary Characteristics]
On the dock, Ember who was waiting for the simulated teardrops to explore, suddenly had a confused expression.
Demigod Jakes?
No, who are you?
There's a demigod hidden in that volcano?
But why?
And.
That's five million souls!
Sequence 4 Chunas only gave 500,000 souls, and 5 million at a time is not a demigod in Sequence 3?
But here's the problem –
Who the hell are you?
[The soul of the demigod Jakes.]
One of them is a deformed soul with power.
Many souls can be obtained after use,
It can also be extracted by refining it.
He was a devout demigod,
but believing in the wrong gods,
Isn't that a blasphemy? 】
"It's here."
Alger made his way through the crowd and beckoned to Ember.
He also had a crystal in his hand.
The shape is similar to that of a faded egg, and the shell appears to be thin, as if it could break at the touch of it.
You don't have to shake it to hear the sound of running water inside.
You don't have to think about it to know that this is the marrow crystal of the Elven Spring.
"Didn't you explore?"
Alger asked with some curiosity, "Or is it already exploratory?" ”
"Almost."
Ember mumbled, "Let's get out as soon as possible." ”
"Okay."
Alger spread his hands and turned to walk with Ember towards the Blue Avenger.
Although he was also curious about the island's secrets, he wouldn't ask about it.
Mr. 'Fool' taught him a lesson.
Everything has a price.
If he wants to get the secret in Ember's hands, he will have to pay the price.
But obviously.
He probably couldn't afford it.
After all, the secrets of this island are likely to be coveted even by the four kings-
Of course, it may also be taboo.
"Bang!"
The sails of the Blue Avenger were rapidly deployed, and the anchor that had been dropped was rapidly retracted.
And at the same time that the Blue Avenger was about to leave port.
The teardrops silently returned to the ship, back to the embers' cabin.
Through the memories of the mimicking teardrops, Ember finally understands what happened in the volcano.
However, this did not solve his doubts.
For example—
"So who the hell is this Jakes?"
Ember was full of doubts.
He thought Jakes might be a demigod sealed in a volcano—
After all, he has encountered many similar situations.
But judging from the memories of the simulated teardrops, Jakes is not the 'native' of the volcano.
And the other party's lethal move, obviously rushed to kill.
But here's the problem.
Why?
Could it be that it was because the simulated teardrops broke through the volcano that they were chased and killed?
This Jakes is actually the guardian of the volcano?
But why does a seemingly ordinary volcano need the protection of a demigod?
But if it's really the so-called guardian.
The volcano's defenses seemed to be too weak.
But if not.
Where did this demigod come from?
It can't be tracked all the way to kill him, right?
Wouldn't it, wouldn't it?
"Forget it, the dead are greater."
Ember shook his head, leaving the distractions behind him.
Anyway, he's dead, so there's no need to wonder where he came from.
Anyway, even if he knew, it would be impossible to resurrect him.
What interests Ember the most now is the secrets of the volcano itself.
Ember's mind moved slightly, and a fragment silently appeared in his hand.
This is a simulated teardrop picked up from the bottom of the volcano -
The soil at the base of the volcano has been turned into molten by the 'Wrath of Gmir', and everything around it has been melted by the heat.
But this fragment is the only exception.
Everything is melted, but it can survive the Wrath of Gmir.
This is no accident.
Ember scrutinized the pieces in his hand.
It is black in color and looks like a shard of dark crystal.
The texture is smooth, but there is nothing particularly peculiar about itself.
The only thing to praise is perhaps that it is exceptionally sturdy.
Not even thousands of degrees of heat can destroy it.
And most importantly, it has always given Ember an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It's as if he'd seen it somewhere.
But vague memories always kept him from remembering.
"What the hell is this?"
A deep doubt flashed in Ember's eyes, but suddenly there was one more word in his mind-
Falling Star Beast.
That wasn't what he thought, it was the one that the paramorphic teardrops passed on to him!
"I see!"
As if a switch had been touched, or as if a fuse had been ignited, Ember memories flooded back.
The information about the falling star beast is also gradually becoming clearer.
No wonder it's so familiar, it turns out to be the boss he killed before!
Falling Star Beast.
A strange race from outside the world, said to be the pet of an unknown 'god'.
Falling Star Beasts usually disguise themselves as meteorites and land in a certain world, bringing destruction and destruction to that world.
And they tend to have a high growth potential, and will continue to grow through a steady stream of devouring and killing.
From falling star beasts, to falling star beasts, and even ......
Ember looked down at the black crystals in his hands.
What kind of dark crystal is this?
This is clearly a fragment of the crystal armor that the Falling Star Beast is wearing!
"Then it all makes sense!"
"There is no volcano at all, it is a deep pit smashed by the Falling Star Beast when it descends!"
"And there seems to be much more to such a 'volcano'!"
"This means that there may have been a large number of Falling Star Beasts descending on this world."
"These falling star beasts must have brought great panic and destruction, but the extraordinary people of this world are obviously not dry food."
"Judging from the current situation, the world once ushered in a large-scale 'meteor shower'. And these 'meteors' are actually camouflaged falling star beasts, and their essence is the invasion of falling star beasts into this world. ”
"And thus, a battle to protect the world has been waged between the extraordinary beings of this world."
"If nothing happens, the churches are the main force in this 'defense war'. Judging from the fact that the faith of the major churches is still the mainstream, and the human race is not extinct. ”
"The invasion should end in the victory of humans and gods, at least most of the Falling Star Beasts have been wiped out, but it is not ruled out that there is a possibility that the Falling Star Beasts have escaped."
"And these 'volcanoes' were artificially formed by high-sequence powerhouses in the later stage, in order to cover up the traces of the Falling Star Beast, and deliberately used towering volcanoes to hide the traces of impact."
"But what does that have to do with the Pirate Convention?"
"If the Falling Star Beast is dead, it doesn't matter if these pirates show up."
"And if the Falling Star Beast hadn't died, there wouldn't have been those 'volcanoes' on the island."
"There doesn't seem to be a strong connection between the two."
"Or is there a secret I don't know?"
"Or are these pirates really trying to attract the 'fish that slip through the net' by getting away with it?"
"Ash!"
Just as he was thinking, Alger's shout suddenly came from outside the cabin.
Ember gathered away her thoughts and opened the hatch.
Alger stood in the hallway, looking a little solemn.
"I think you should come out and have a look."
Alger said in a deep voice.
"Okay."
Ember nodded, and followed Alger through the hallway to the deck.
The Blue Avenger had now sailed away from the island.
In front of them, several sailing ships were cruising.
At the head was a red sail battleship with a large red tree on its sail.
"That's the flagship of the 'Blood Generals', the Tree of Flesh."
Alger took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Although it is rumored that there was a conflict between the Blood General and the Iceberg Vice Admiral, I have not seen any trace of the Golden Dream in the vicinity. ”
"But anyway, I have a feeling he's probably coming for us!"
"Don't worry, he's not necessarily here for us."
Ember looked at the fleet cruising not far away, and said slowly, "Go over and see if he can stop us." ”
"Okay."
Alger nodded, and without hesitation, let the Blue Avenger go full speed.
……
"Mistress Seigno."
Second Officer 'Steel' Mai Vetty whispered, "A ship is coming. ”
Señol glanced at the oncoming Blue Avenger and said lightly,
"Leave him alone."
There were tens of thousands of pirates who came to the pirate convention, and he couldn't rob every one of them.
And.
Most of these pirates who leave the scene early are here to join in the fun, so what good things can be?
Robbed and robbed in vain.
What's more, they didn't come here to loot in themselves.
"Yes, Lord Seignor."
Mai Weiti bowed his head respectfully, but after a short time he hesitated and hesitated, "Lord Jakes, he seems to have been gone for a long time. ”
"Huh?"
Seigor glanced at him coldly.
"Mistress Seigno."
Mai Veti was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "I'm just a little worried......
"Worried about what?"
Señor sneered, "Lord Jax is a demigod, a demigod of Sequence 3!" Do you think there's something on that island that threatens Lord Jack? ”
Mai Weiti lowered her head, cold sweat flowing.
He did not defend himself, and he did not dare to defend himself.
Oh, yes.
Lord Jax is a demigod in Sequence 3, and even if it is in front of the four kings, he has to avoid the edge for a while.
What's more, just to deal with a fake oracle, how can there be an accident?
Maybe Master Jakes was already interrogating the man right now.
"Mistress Seigno."
Mai Veti said in a low voice, "Maybe Lord Jax has already interrogated the person behind the 'False Divine Messenger', and he may have directly tracked down the other party, which is why he hasn't responded for so long." ”
"Huh?"
Señor glanced at him and nodded quietly.
This analysis is still in place.
After all, with Master Jack's strength, it won't take so long to deal with a mouse.
"Wait another half hour."
Señor said lightly, "If Lord Jax hasn't come back in half an hour, let's go back." ”
……
Alger took control of the Blue Avenger, carefully bypassing Admiral's fleet.
Seeing that the other party did not have any intention of attacking, Alger couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't doubt that Ember could kill a boatload of people on the other side by himself.
After all, he did it the first time he came to sea.
But here's the problem.
Naval battles will inevitably cause damage!
Ember is fine, and there is a high probability that he will be fine, but the ship will be fine!
Although the Blue Avenger is a ghost ship, it is an unmanned sailing ship to put it bluntly.
Its own defense is here.
If there is really a naval battle, the Blue Avenger will suffer heavy damage even if it is not sunk.
While the ghost ship itself can slowly recover from minor damage on its own, it requires materials to repair.
And materials cost money.
And if it takes a heavy hit, it will be very difficult for the ghost ship to repair itself.
And even if it could be repaired, it would cost Alger a lot of money.
So once the fight really starts, then he can only jump with Ash and let the Blue Avenger hide far away.
sailed out for dozens of nautical miles, and waited until it was completely away from the fleet of the Admiral Blood.
Alger finally put his mind at ease.
He once again arranged the ritual and sacrificed the marrow crystals of the Elven Fountain to the 'Fool'.
……
Beckland, inside a café.
"I'm sorry."
Crane, who was accompanying Mike on his investigation, suddenly stopped, and said expressionlessly in Mike's puzzled eyes, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”
"Oh."
Mike immediately showed a look of surprise and winked at Klein, "I understand, I understand." ”
"You know a hammer!"
With black lines all over his head, Crane resisted the idea of beating him up, turned and walked into the bathroom.
Four steps backwards, into the gray mist.
The crimson star, the symbol of the "hanged man," was shrinking and expanding.
Crane sighed, stretched out his hand, spread spirituality, and touched it.
"The pith crystallization of the Elven Spring."
Klein played with the eggshell-like thing in his hand, but he couldn't help but sigh.
It wasn't what he wanted, it was something he had asked for from a pharmacist he had met at a gathering of extraordinary beings.
Now as a middleman, he can also make a lot of money from it.
But Klein felt extremely helpless.
How do you feel like you're a logistics center?
So why did he have to make a sacrifice in the first place?
Complaining is complaining, but Klein is not ambiguous about what should be done.
After all, in the end, it is he who benefits the most from the 'logistics business'.
If it weren't for this logistics business, he wouldn't have been promoted to Sequence 7 so quickly.
"Now mine is also a real mid-sequence 'powerhouse', I can't say it's terrifying, but at least I have the strength to fight."
Crane sat in the place of the 'fool' and thought silently, "Perhaps, I can also start to investigate the truth about what happened in Tingen in the first place." Either way, at least I'll have to avenge myself. ”
"Speaking of which,"
Crane suddenly sighed, "I don't know how they're doing, Captain." ”
Crane suddenly felt a little lonely.
Above the gray mist, he is the all-powerful Mr. 'Fool'.
Admired by the Tarot congregation.
But in reality, who knows him?
The people who cared about him are still alive, but the 'Klein Moretti' they care about is long dead.
Crane let go of the pith crystals of the Elven Fountain with some melancholy, and soon returned to reality.
Walking out of the bathroom, I saw Mike sitting by the window.
"I've kept you waiting."
Klein stepped forward and just opened his mouth to speak, when he saw Mike ask with a concerned face, "Sherlock, the doctor I introduced to you last time is really skilled, do you want to think about it again?" ”
"No, you don't!"
Klein's face darkened.
You're a kidney! Your whole family is losing kidneys!
……
In Wintershire, in the northern part of the Kingdom of Rune, the Church of Serenity, the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of the Night.
The black-haired and blue-eyed Leonard Mitchell put on a thin black trench coat, picked up the half-height silk top hat hanging from the coat rack, put on red gloves, and walked out of his room.
As early as a month ago, he had already been successfully promoted to the rank of Sequence 7' 'Nightmare'.
And in this month, he and the captain have withstood almost all the trials of the Templar.
Now, he is finally qualified to truly join the Red Glove and begin the mission of the Templar.
Around the corner, Leonard saw a staircase leading to the bottom, and saw the captain Dunn Smith, who was wearing a black trench coat and had a pair of dark gray eyes, and Klein Moretti, who had a faint bookish temperament, standing there, smiling and waiting.
As always.
"What's wrong?"
Dunn Smith looked at himself with some confusion, there was nothing there.
"Nothing."
Leonard tilted his head slightly and whispered, "It's just that my memory has also started to deteriorate, and I almost forgot it, so he is long gone." ”
"That's right."
Dunn fell silent, his eyes became a little dark, and he said softly, "My memory is not very good, but I dare not forget, I dare not forget how he died." He could have survived! ”
Dunn clenched his fists, and his expression distorted slightly.
Leonard just watched silently, silently watching the captain who had always been steady become extremely out of shape.
He knows.
The captain kept blaming himself.
If Crane hadn't given him that ring in the first place, maybe everything would have been different.
But if Crane really didn't give the ring to the captain.
Will I still miss him so much?
Maybe he'll hate Crane and why he didn't give the ring to the captain, right?
Leonard suddenly laughed to himself.
"Sure enough, I'm such a selfish person."
"Captain, where are you going next?"
Leonard shook his head and asked suddenly.
Although Dunn is no longer his captain, but the same Red Glove as him.
But he still couldn't change his habits.
"Beckland."
Dunn was silent for a long time, and said slowly, "What about you?" ”
"I'm just like you."
Leonard lowered his eyes slightly, and suddenly smiled, "It just so happens that Miss Daly and Old Neil are also there, is this a reunion in another sense?" ”
Laughing and laughing, Leonard tilted his head again.
It's like to be patient and not let anything fall out.
Of course, this is a reunion, but unfortunately there is one less person who should have been reunited.
The most important one is missing.
He may not have been that important before.
But after his death, he has undoubtedly become the most important person in their hearts, and the one they owe the most.
