The expression on Euan's face was both puzzled and surprised.

He had previously suspected that it was Wayne who had illusioned Marco and used his identity to escape from the Church of the Dawn.

But based on his observation of Wayne in the city-state of Custer, in the last incident, that kid only managed to do that level with the help of the power of forbidden objects, and his true strength was the limit of being able to kill Henrik.

And now the destruction of the entire Dacman Island, what is the situation?

There's no way that kid is impossible!

That's something that can only be done with at least the strength of a third-level calamity!

It seems that the person impersonating Marko has someone else......

Could it be the same Ales Koulibaly, who also fled from the city-state of Caster?

It's possible!

Waleed pinched the stubble on his chin and muttered, "Redhead...... Destroyed Dacman Island? ”

Hearing the news, Blackjack only felt that the good deck of cards in his hand was no longer fragrant, and looked at the one-armed pirate who came to report the news, "Are you sure it's the Marco on the Ronan, the red-haired Marco who killed Henrik?" ”

"First mate, I'm pretty sure!"

The one-armed pirate said firmly: "There is more than one person who has just sent this message, and the content is the same - Dacman Island has been completely destroyed, there are countless casualties around, and only one ship Ronan has left that sea area at that time. ”

Euan: "......"

Marco sat at the table, his red hair scattered, and the note on his face covered his face from a toothache.

That grandson is really capable, he killed a captain of the Black Pearl earlier, and it was not two days before he destroyed an island......

Damn, if you don't kill him, it's not over!

With this thought, Marco looked at Blackjack Youan and the others, lifted the note on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Now you know, right?" That's not what I did at all, I don't have the time at all. ”

Lao Tzu, tyrant, no, redhead!

Black Jack looked at him and didn't say anything, then waved his hand to let his men leave first, and after thinking for a few seconds, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, "No matter who he is, just go and see it." What do you say, the third deputy of the epidemic doctor? ”

Youan glared at him, why did the title of third officer sound so harsh?

"It's good for you to decide, anyway, if it's too long, otherwise...... You know what the consequences are! ”

"Don't worry, with the strength of me and you, are you still afraid of a third-level calamity?" Blackjack made a decision and picked up the playing cards on the table again, "Come on, come on, it doesn't matter if I was interrupted just now, look at how I tortured you!" ”

"By you? Wait until you go to bed tonight with a note hanging on. Euan's eyes were fixed on the deck of cards, as if to prevent the dishonest Blackjack from cheating.

At this time, Waleed suddenly spoke: "Boss, can you let me try it when you see that person?" I remember when I first joined the Black Pearl, Henrik's bastard took good care of me. ”

Black Jack paused to shuffle the cards in his hand and looked up at him, "Xiaode, according to the rules of the ship, we must invite that person on board." ”

"But before I go and try his strength, I should be able to, right?"

"Temptation?"

"That's right," Waleed nodded, pointing at Marko, "Otherwise, if it's someone as weak as him, wouldn't our Black Pearl make a joke?" ”

"Oh, that's right. I agreed, but I must not use that taboo again, understand? Lao Tzu was worried that it would get out of control again. ”

"Don't worry, boss, it's just a little temptation, there will be no problem."

Marco looked at the three pirates who ignored his existence, and cursed in his heart, so he had no choice but to ask again: "That, Lord Blackjack, you also saw that I really didn't do those things, I don't know if you can let us go?" ”

"No," Blackjack quickly cut the cards and laid them out neatly on the table, "to keep you on the boat to prevent any other accidents." ”

"What accident?"

"Of course, I'm worried that I won't be able to find the person pretending to be you." Blackjack reached for his own deck and unfolded it gently, not bad.

"You," Marco was stunned, and suddenly reacted, watching them stammer, "You, no, aren't you planning to let me impersonate that person, no, let me impersonate myself?" ”

"Don't call us bad guys, know that joining the Black Pearl is an incomparably honorable thing in the entire Cordo Seas, so you can have fun."

Marco: "......"

Damn, he didn't think it would be any glory at all, and he didn't do those things, so why should he take the blame for others?

"Okay, now that you're here, don't think about anything else," Youan glanced at the playing cards in his hand and said quietly, "Don't you see that your crew members are having a great time?" ”

Happy?

Marco turned his head to look at the deck behind him, where Mosquera and the others were drinking with the other pirates on the Bekli, gulping down and laughing loudly......

They were laughing so much!

!

At this time, I heard Blackjack add, "Don't you want to know who is doing those things by impersonating you?" ”

Who......

Marco fell silent, of course he wanted to know who it was—how dare he do this!

It had only been a few days since he went to sea, and he encountered such a thing, which directly lost half of his original ambition, and if he hadn't been worried that he would run back in disgrace, he would have been laughed at by Lacey and the old bastard at home, and he would have wanted to go back to the city-state of Caster.

"Looks like you already know what you want, keep staying on the ship, maybe you'll find out later that it's actually better,"

Black Jack took out a card and slapped it on the table, shouting in an arrogant tone: "Black Butler, Youan, look how this Lao Tzu can win back!" ”

"Hey, Red Queen," Euan tossed a card lightly, without even looking at Blackjack, "I doubt your IQ to throw such a big card when you come up." ”

"You care about me, the emperor of the sea, crush me!"

"The Emperor of the Sea? Forbidden Sea, you're familiar with this card, right? ”

"Damn ......"

Marco: "......"

He rubbed the playing cards in his hand for a while, and cursed the person who was impersonating him half to death.

Damn bastard, wait for me, and when I see you, I'll make up the rest half for you!

At this time, Waleed, who was sitting across from him, also had a twinkling look in his eyes, and his mind was obviously not on the table.

……

……

On the other side, on the lookout of the Ronan.

Wayne leaned back in his chair and looked at the calm sea.

He didn't know yet, not only was there a pursuit from the Church of the Dawn behind, there were also people waiting to intercept him in front, and it was also an old friend.

Of course, even if he knew this, he wouldn't back down.

No matter how difficult this road is, no matter how hard it is, it is his own choice - and he will continue to walk!

At this time, all in his mind was about the Dusk Secret Monk, about the Killing Intent Storage, and about the deep-sea beast that was about to be promoted to a fourth-level calamity......

Who are those bandage freaks?

What is the purpose?

They always feel like patients who have escaped from a mental hospital, their minds are full of strange ideas, and they have a nervous taste of speaking and acting......

"You've been sitting here for almost three hours, is there something you can't figure out?" Claire arranged the guards, came to the lookout, sat down next to Wayne and asked.

"I didn't ...... Well, there is, yes. ”

Wayne didn't want to tell her, but after thinking about it, the matter of the Dusk Secret Monk might be the people behind those who were behind the murderous intent, and it was hidden so deeply, if it wasn't figured out earlier, I'm afraid the trouble behind would not be small.

"Oh? Let me guess, you were moved by the sight of Dacman Island? ”

The corners of Wayne's mouth twitched, it was really hard for her to impose such a noble and kind idea on him, but he also knew that he couldn't follow Claire's thoughts, otherwise it would be a high-speed car.

"Have you ever heard of the Secret Monk of Twilight?"

"Monk of Twilight? I think I've heard this name somewhere...... Well, I seem to have seen it before, what do you ask this for......" Claire reacted, thinking of the previous incident on Dacman Island, and asked in surprise: "You mean, they made the alchemy circle just now?" ”

Wayne nodded, "You should have noticed the three people standing in the pyramid wrapped in bandages when that alchemy circle was activated, right?" They are the Monks of Twilight. ”

"Them?"

"Well, can you tell me about them?"

Claire looked at him stunned, her bright eyes revealing a very complicated look, puzzled, shocked, puzzled, and a few seconds later, she came back to her senses.

"Monk Dusk, that's a group of very mysterious people, and I've only seen this name in some of the epochal relics treasured by the Eternal Life Society."

"When they are described on those relics, the most common thing that appears is killing, as if they exist to create killing and destroy the world."

Claire clasped her fingers on the wooden railing of the lookout and recounted the record in a heavy tone as she recalled: "The bandaged devil, with his thin body like a scythe that harvests death, destroyed the beautiful Tamerlan and slaughtered the terrifying Thunder Giants......"

"They call themselves the dancers of the twilight, but they are nothing more than crazy people who have fallen completely. The so-called real world is nothing more than their whimsical ......"

The real world?

Wayne was impressed by the word, and when he killed the bandage freaks, they would always mention the true master, the false world, and the only thing to kill.

"So, have they been around for a long time?"

"I don't know." Claire shook her head slightly, "Actually, I've never heard of this name in the current era, and if it weren't for what happened to us, I'd even think of it as a boring scroll of legends." ”

"Is the current epoch ......?"

Wayne thought for a few seconds and looked at her again, "Would you believe me if I said that the taboo on the sea about dreamers was also made by them?" ”

Claire was stunned again, her eyes slowly widened, and her mouth opened slightly: "You mean that the Dusk Secret Monk made up a killing dream that covered all the seas?!" ”

She also knew that the sea taboo did not involve only one sea, and that there were countless people who died after being dreamed.

But she always thought that it was the same as the red moon, it was all weird that existed in this world itself, but she didn't expect it......

"According to what I've found before, it's true." Wayne stared at her bright eyes and said in a deep voice, "Do you remember the time I went to the sea before?" ”

"That time? Did you find out at that time? ”

Wayne said the guess in his heart, "Well, before that, I noticed that the thing that caused that killing dream to appear was more like the feeling of facing the acceptance of faith, but after careful identification, I was sure that they were not collecting faith, but the killing intent of the dreamer. ”

"And this time inside the pyramids on Dacman Island, I found a similar feeling."

He said these words slowly, trying not to arouse Claire's interest in how he had investigated his abilities, and to highlight the actions of the Monk of Twilight.

"That's why you guess that the Monk of Dusk has something to do with the night's dreams?" Claire understood and asked, "So, what are you going to do?" ”

"I don't know. But I think after this time, they will definitely investigate the matter of Dacman Island, and I am afraid that I will have a lot of contact with them in the future......"

"No, it's not just you!" Claire gently took his hand, "It's me and you, and the Eternal Life Society will face them with you. ”

"You misunderstood," Wayne looked at her white and slender hand and chuckled, "I'm not prepared to carry these things alone, and I can't do this with my current strength." I just want to know more about the Secret Monk of Dusk, so that I don't have to worry about it later. ”

"That's it~" Claire glared at him charmingly, "That's on me, I'll contact Menor later, and ask him to find all the relics about the Dusk Secret Monk." ”

"Thank you."

"Huh?"

Wayne was dumbfounded, pulled out the arm that Claire was holding, and clasped his hands together, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't say thank you." ”

Claire snorted, "Remember, you are one of our members of the Eternal Society, and we can face anything together. ”

"Of course, of course, I was personally invited by you to join, and in the future, I will rely on you to cover me in the Eternal Life Society."

"That's right~"

Soon, Claire returns to the theater space alone and asks Menor about the Secret Monk of Dusk and the related Era relics.

Wayne put these things behind him for the time being, and now there was something more important waiting for him - the Grand Knight of the Dawn Church.

After a delay of half a day on Dacman Island, even at the speed of the Ronan, the distance may have been shortened a lot, and it is estimated that it is only a day's voyage, between 1,000 and 1,500 kilometers.

He had to hurry up and improve as much as he could.

"I don't know what the Joker's bastard ended his special training on Tina, it's been a day, and he hasn't come back yet, it's really unreliable......"

If Joker and Tina were around, he wouldn't have as much urgency.

With that in mind, Wayne opened the panel and studied.

The original six-digit survival point was only more than 90,000 after the Soul Devouring Spell was upgraded to level six.

But it's enough to increase the level of some spell skills, especially the six spells that were newly learned last time, and they are all level 3 now, just enough to improve them all by one round.

Boiling Blood (Reaper) Level 3 (1/5000)...... （5000/5000）。

[Boiling Blood (Grim Reaper) Level 3 (5000/5000), is it increased?] 】

【Lift.】 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Boiling Blood (Reaper) level 3 has been increased to level 4.] Effect: Your body's blood flow rate is increased and your body's explosive power is increased. 】

[Note: Boiling Blood (Reaper) level 4, based on its own toughness level, exerts an explosive power of 200% toughness level, and lasts for 9 seconds.] 】

【…… Your Skill: Healing (Reaper) level 3 to level 4. Effect: Increases your body's recovery from injuries by ......]

【……】

【…… Transfiguration (Reaper) level 3 increased to level 4. Effect: You will be able to change your body form, and any source power that is less than 40% of the original quality of the god of death Oranel will not be able to detect traces of your transformation when it perceives your body, and it will last for 4 hours. 】

Wayne looked at the skill column on the panel, thought for a moment, and added the remaining survival points to the two spells, the spirit shield and the bone wall.

With his current basic attributes and origin power, it is impossible to compare to that Grand Knight of Judgment in any case, and the benefits from improving those offensive spell skills are much smaller than the increase in defensive ability.

As long as he can resist his attacks, he has a chance of escaping.

Kill him?

Unless the Grand Knight of Judgment is as stupid as the beast of the deep just now, staying in the sea...... Well, it has to be a place with countless deep-sea creatures to be able to kill him.

【…… Bone Wall (Reaper) level 4 increased to level 5. Effect: You can summon a bone wall formed by the bones of sixteen-faced chief-level skeleton creatures to fend off physical attacks. 】

【…… Spirit Shield (Reaper) level 4 increased to level 5. Effect: Resists attacks on one's own spirit, soul, and origin, and dispels all negative influences within eight meters of the surrounding area. 】

[Note: Spirit Shield (Reaper) Level 5, when dispelling the negative effects of ablation, it will consume your own spiritual power.] 】

"There are 4,300 survival points left."

When the skill bonus ends, Wayne closes the panel as soon as possible.

Can't see,

There are so many skills waiting for him to add some upgrades, and they can only watch dryly, especially the series of 0s in the back, which almost blinded his eyes.

There are still too few survival points......

After the spell was upgraded, it was not enough for him to safely escape the pursuit of the Grand Knight of Judgment, so he still had to think of other ways.

But before that, we must first make sure that we can't be chased by Dawn's ship in the short term.

Wayne sighed, jumped off the lookout, and made his way to the cockpit bypassing the busy pirates.

"Captain!"

"Captain."

“……”

It has to be said that the dangers at sea are more dangerous, but these pirates have a heartfelt reverence for the strong.

Wayne liked it, and even though he knew that he would be torn apart by these pirates when he didn't have the power, it didn't stop him from thinking these people were cute enough.

"Captain," Ronan quickly moved out of the way when he saw him enter, "you may be seated." ”

"No need." Wayne waved his hand and motioned for him to remain at the helm, "I'm here to remind you that you've just been delayed on Dacman Island for too long, and the Ronan had better be faster." ”

"I've got people staring at the engines all the time, and with plenty of fuel, it's not impossible to overload."

Wayne nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he turned back and asked, "By the way, how long is our course from Awad Island now?" ”

"Sixty-five days are expected, and if all goes well, we should be able to depart from there for the Southern Continent before Pantheon's Day."

"Oh."

After Wayne got the information he wanted, he didn't stop long, turned and walked out of the cockpit to return to the bedroom.

Pantheon......

In the memory of the predecessor, there are some fragments about this festival.

At the end of each year, on the night of December 30, the city-states hold a grand event to celebrate the safe passage of the year and the beginning of the new year.

At the same time, this day is also a time for the welfare of the major Orthodox God churches, and many things such as dawn candles, emblems, and covenants will be sold at a discount.

"Tsk, pantheon......"

……

……

At the same time, an unknown location extremely far away from Dacman Island.

A huge island is suspended in mid-air, and the bottom is black mountain rocks, and there are layers of white bones attached to them, as if they have put several layers of special aesthetic tiles on these mountain stones.

Above the island, there is a castle towering like a mountain - all black, with a faint layer of black mist flowing slowly with a sharp and eerie whistling sound.

At the top of it, there is an empty square. The square is engraved with some delicate patterns, but they are not as symmetrical as the runes, and the lines are more tortuous and complex.

In the center of the square, there is a long table, with ten black chairs on each side, and the back of the chair is branded with a red pattern—an illusory shadow holding a long scythe.

At this moment, there were five people in neat gray robes sitting at the table, their bodies wrapped in golden strips of cloth, and there was not the slightest skin on their bodies, even the eyes were wrapped around the strips of cloth.

"They, failed?" The bandage monster at the top had a black diamond-shaped gem embedded in his forehead, and the strip of cloth at his mouth moved slightly, and an indifferent voice came out.

"It worked, but it also failed."

"Oh?"

"The alchemy circle is successful, and it does have the effect of making the deep sea beast advance. But in the end, it was interrupted by someone to advance! ”

"Interrupt?"

"Kill it, to be exact!"

Another bandage freak chimeled in slightly, "That's right......"

"Killed? Wasn't that place carefully selected by you to ensure that there is no existence above the legend level? ”

"Accident."

The diamond-shaped gem freak at the top snorted lightly, "Do you know who did it?" ”

"I don't know, but I promise, blasphemy against the True Juggernaut, damn it!"

"Find that guy and kill him!"

Forget it, I'll add more tomorrow night! By all means!!
