Chapter 178: The Pirate King (Three Thousand)
After hearing Roger swear by the goddess of the dawn, the fear in Barnard's heart finally eased a little.
The world is not peaceful, nor gentle.
Things like killing people and grabbing treasures are just a common occurrence in this world.
When Roger said that he was interested in the codex, Ronald suddenly froze, after all, with Roger's strength, if he really wanted to kill himself and snatch the treasure, he didn't even have a chance to resist.
Barnard was also quite annoyed in his heart.
It may be that he has been hunted down for many years, and he rarely has time to communicate with other people normally, coupled with a long friendly and pleasant chat with Roger, he has also invisibly relaxed his vigilance, and even told him that he has obtained the inheritance of the ancient powerhouse.
Barnard's expression made Roger a little amused, and he knew exactly what was going on in the heart of this guy.
"Don't worry, my friend."
"Although it seems to you that we have only made a verbal deal, after you showed me a clear path to hopefully resurrect Rosalina, I have come to regard you as a friend in my heart."
"I've probably killed a lot of people, but I've never had a record of doing it to my friends."
"And, in my opinion, it's a good thing for you and me."
"The codex left by the ancient powerhouse shouldn't be so easy to digest, right? One more person to study together can also produce a different opinion."
Barnard's face was a little gloomy, as Roger said, it was not easy to eat through what was left behind by the ancient powerhouses.
So far, he has only delved into a third of the content, and he still dare not say that his understanding is all correct.
And Roger's strength is stronger, and his understanding of strength is also more profound, if he can research with Roger, and the two sides share the research results, it is definitely a good thing.
After all, in addition to himself, the transcendent person in the soul cultivation of the Senluo Continent was only Roger in front of him, and he didn't even have a companion who could communicate with each other, and this kind of cultivation seemed extremely lonely.
Moreover, Roger also promised that he would provide himself with a new way to make his soul stronger......
Barnard's will is constantly hovering in temptation and fear, and it does take courage to hand over what is most important to him, and it is not a decision that can be made casually.
"I'm sorry, sir." A long time passed, and Barnard, with great fear, spoke in a dry voice, "It may take me a while to think about it."
"It's okay!" Roger nodded briskly, "As I said, it's up to you to decide."
At the moment when Roger gave this response, Barnard collapsed in his seat as if he had lost his strength, and he felt that his body was almost about to collapse.
God knows how scared he was just now.
Countless bloody images had already conjured up in his mind, and the man in front of him, after he refused, immediately attacked, crushing his body to slag as if he had done Bradley.
A layer of sweat appeared on the shriveled forehead, dripping into the eyes, and it hurt hotly.
In the Senluo Continent, the weak face the strong, which is the most common situation.
At this moment, Barnard's body suddenly tensed again, as the man opposite stood up.
But fortunately, the man's gaze was not towards him, his gaze was out the window...... Oh no, it should be said that it is beyond the barrier formed by countless evil spirits.
Outside the barrier, the wind howled and the waves were raging.
The scarlet sea of blood was unleashing its power to the fullest, and the huge metal battleship with a length of one hundred and fifty-seven meters and a width of twenty meters was also floating and sinking on the sea, and the violent storm and waves seemed to tear the destroyer apart at any time.
Is this the power of nature?
No, it's supernatural power.
The waves crashed against the hull with a crisp crackling sound.
Even more frightening than the scarlet waves is the scarlet fog that spreads from the deep sea, and the lightning that looms in the fog.
Rumble...... Click.
A purple thunderbolt slammed into the barrier formed by the evil spirits.
The arc then spreads, like a huge power grid, enveloping a large area.
A hole was cut out of the barrier, and the evil spirits in this area disappeared in an instant...... In the face of these lightnings, the evil spirits are powerless.
"Take it back."
Roger said, then beckoned, causing Celubelia, Selena, and Leonona to enter the cabin, as they felt terror all around them.
Barnard silently retrieved the evil spirits from the sky.
The next moment, a rain of blood shrouded the sky.
"Ah......h
Barnard let out a terrible scream.
A drop of blood fell on his shoulder, and a hole immediately appeared in the robe at the shoulder, and the skin inside was corroded, even revealing Bai Sensen's bones.
He hurriedly propped up the aura barrier, which made him feel a little better.
Barnard cursed his stupidity in his heart, the blood rain was obviously weird, he should support the aura barrier as soon as possible, and then recover the evil spirit.
In the face of possible dangers, holding up the aura barrier at any time is the most basic quality of an extraordinary person.
Maybe it was because he was so scared when he faced Roger just now, and when he confirmed that Roger didn't mean to do anything to himself, his whole spirit instantly relaxed, so that he even forgot this common sense.
He took out a bottle of potion from the storage ring and poured it down, the wound on his shoulder gradually healed: "Be careful, sir, these blood rains will ...... Well, when I didn't say it."
He wanted to remind Roger, but when he looked over, he found that Roger didn't care at all, bathed in the rain of blood, and even took the initiative to reach out to bear the raindrops falling from the sky.
The corrosive blood fell down Roger's finger and fell on the deck, causing no damage to Roger's skin.
Is this guy's body cast of steel?
Barnard complained in his heart.
The blood that fell on the deck did not corrode the deck, and it seems that this strong corrosiveness is only for the cloth and flesh.
It's a good sign, at least don't worry about the destroyer you've just built getting rusty, although that damn sticky blood is a *** annoyance to clean up.
Roger relieved himself in his heart, and then looked around.
On the dark sea, a series of dark outlines suddenly appeared.
The silhouette was sailing quickly on the sea, and the whole body looked tattered, and with an indomitable momentum, it slammed into it from all directions.
Among them, the most obvious is a dark red ship, her mast towering, the dark red hull glowing with a cold glow in the flash of thunder, the huge sails fluttering in the wind, and the scarlet skull flag rattling.
"Be careful, ghost ship...... Is that...... The Crimson Vengeance!"
"Crimson Vengeance?" Roger raised an eyebrow.
Barnard's figure appeared a little back from Roger's body, his eyes were a little solemn, it was obvious that the ghost ship was not an easy existence to deal with, and his chapped lips moved quickly: "The ghost ship is the most terrifying existence in the ocean."
"Some powerful transcendents will steer ships and roam the boundless seas, plundering caravans, they will mercilessly kill all life, they will take beautiful women, they are pirates, they are pirates."
"Every pirate has blood on his hands, and they are the embodiment of sin and cruelty."
"The presence of pirates has had a serious impact on the operation of this world, but it has been ignored until one day they robbed the head of the Church of the Burning Sun and the Judgment, killed all the archbishops, bishops, priests, and priests on board, and then robbed all the cultivators
Woman...... What happened to the nuns...... Sadly, and worse, the pirates seem to have been carried away by this victory, and they even provoked the Church of Sun and the Judgment by selling the tortured nuns to the prostitutes of the port......
"The Scorching Sun and the Church of the Judgment were furious, and the Pope gave an order to arrange the Knights of the Burning Sun, and the two leaders of the Ruling Knights were of the highest rank, accompanied by the Great Sage, holding a seal starting with 00, leading a large number of elites to lower the judgment on the pirates on the sea."
"These pirates may have good strength, it is said that those pirate generals, the pirate kings have the strength of the ninth rank, or even the super rank, which is their capital across the world, but in the face of the furious scorching sun and the ruling church, in the face of the great sage level of the great saint, the pirate's strength is still extremely weak."
"The Church of the Scorching Sun and the Church of Judgment swept away all the pirates in the four seas, a total of 364 pirate groups were all wiped out, and there was not a single one left, and the Church of the Burning Sun and the Church of the Judgment even directly declared that in the four seas, if there is a group of pirates, they will destroy a group...... This is probably the only commendable thing that these madmen have done in more than 20,000 years."
"However, for the four seas, the storm did not subside with the death of these pirates, but on the contrary became more treacherous and terrifying, and when night fell, the dead pirates seemed to be attracted by some mysterious power, and their bodies floated from the deepest part of the ocean, and re-piloted their ships to crisscross the sea."
"Even if the corpse is rotten, only the broken soul remains, even if the ship is tattered and filthy...... They will still let their flags fly in the storm."
"And the most famous of these is the Crimson Vengeance."
"When Drape, the captain of the Scarlet Vengeance, was still alive, he was the most powerful and murderous of the three hundred and sixty-four pirates, and was revered as the Pirate King's super-rank powerhouse......
"Among the evil spirits that turn into evil after death, it is also the most terrifying and ferocious one!"
