Chapter 222: Gravedigger

That, that's?!

A bolt of lightning pierced the thick clouds, illuminating the center of the storm in the distance, the silver-white gold-streaked hull of the Leonard, and the pirates on deck who stood still as if time had stood still.

Ronan tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, his narrow triangular eyes widened, staring at the center of the storm that was shrouded in darkness, raging winds, raging waves, and countless deep-sea aberrants frantically "cheering".

As the distance between the storm core and the Leonard narrowed, a vague silhouette gradually reflected in Ronan's eyes, and his heart sank completely.

In the Sea of Cordo, there has always been a legend of the sea taboo, which is a disaster that countless people who go to sea are afraid to avoid, and all the ships are marked with known sea taboo areas on the charts, and it is the best choice to bypass them far away.

However, compared to the taboo at sea with a constant position, it has been circulated in the special labels of major pirate groups and chambers of commerce, known as "taboo within taboos" - mobile taboos.

It is said that anyone who encounters it will be swallowed up and drowned, and become a ghost in the taboo of moving the sea.

Thinking of these legends, the cold sweat on Ronan's forehead was dried by the sea breeze, and his face became more and more pale, making his ugly and inconspicuous face become conspicuous.

"The sea, is it forbidden at sea?"

Damn, no, it won't be so unlucky, right!?

If it was really taboo at sea, he, and everyone on board, would probably be trapped here forever.

In my impression, in addition to the great "Emperor of the Sea" Isabello Clijsters in the mouth of Boss Dis, and Suad Ermanor, the "Singer" who holds the taboo, has the ability to break away from the taboo at sea.

But their strength ...... Captain, you shouldn't be able to reach that level, right?

Jingle Jingle Bell ......

A few pleasant wind chimes rang out, and Ronan tried harder to keep his eyes open, trying to see the outline of the phantom shrouded in darkness.

Bell?

As the outline became clearer, Ronan dismissed the speculation in his mind, and although it didn't look like the legendary moving sea taboo, just a carriage, there was no joy in his heart.

He was sure that he was not mistaken, the center of the cloud, swept by the wind and waves, was only a carriageβ€”a black carriage pulled by four tall horses!

But what kind of carriage can run on the sea?

I saw that the horse's head was lowered, and its steps were moving forward slowly, as if pulling a weight of 10,000 tons, making their posture look slightly tired.

In the rear of the horse, a man shrouded in black robes sat with the reins in his hand, like a sculpture, without any breath or movement.

And the black carriage behind him faintly shimmered with a metallic luster, and the blood-colored traces were densely covered, forming a strange pattern that shrouded the entire carriage.

The most eye-catching thing is the roof of the carriage that extends outward, surrounded by pyramid-shaped objects, the silver-white tower body is reflected by lightning dazzling lightning, and as the carriage moves with each other to make a crisp jingle of jingling bells.

The eerie tranquility, the suffocating fear, made Ronan's body tremble unconsciously.

It's hard to imagine, and it's hard to believeβ€”what kind of carriage could be able to sail on the Sea of Cordo and cause a storm over such a large area?

Boom, boom!

At this moment, the rumbling thunder and the sound of the waves rolling against the hull brought the sluggish pirates of the Leonard back to their senses, but there was also an unconcealed horror in their eyes.

"That'...... there"

"What's that?!"

"Is it a taboo at sea?"

"Great Lady Storm, don't let me encounter the taboo of moving at sea!!"

"Dawn Dominates ......"

Ronan also reacted, now is not the time to be afraid and talk about what the hell it is, he knows that the most important thing to encounter such a strange scene at sea is to be calm.

Calm, calm, calm...... The silence of the cold mud horse!

"Knight, hurry up and inform the first mate and let her come with the captain!"

"Mdeja, check the rune circle, try to activate it, no, it must be activated!"

"Reinado, damn it, hoist the sails......"

At this point, Ronan gritted his teeth and persevered, racking his brains to deal with it as he should, while smashing the rudder in the hope of avoiding the strange carriage.

Although he knew it was foolish to hoist the sails in the storm, he didn't care so much about it now!

And the panicked pirates on the deck, when they heard the voice of the second mate, as if they had found the backbone, gritted their teeth and dragged their stiff bodies, and responded according to his orders.

These people have been following the ship to sea all year round, and they know that their own ability is not enough to deal with all kinds of dangers, and the more dangerous they are, the more they must obey orders, otherwise they can easily die tragically.

It's not an inherent decree, it's that the captain and co-captain must have the ability to lead the ship and its crew!

At this moment, the black-robed man in the carriage looked at the Leonard with his only naked eyes, and his indifferent and dead gaze fell on the bow of the ship, "Dawn? It's just a false god in the illusory world. ”

There was no other reflection in his peripheral vision, as if the pirates on the deck weren't even qualified to let him look at it.

Dawn, a false god?

Ronan's face suddenly became even more ugly, a person who could say such blasphemous words was obviously not an existence he could imagine.

Damn, captain, first mate...... Rescue, Rescue, Rescue......

……

……

At the same time, within the theater space.

Wayne put down the quill pen and looked at the recent events recorded on the parchment, and more of the content was about the subject research.

"On September 6, 1578 in the new calendar, at the suggestion of Teresa and others, I chose to use ghost stones as the main alloy to smelt and make mechanical bodies (this part refers to the relevant knowledge of the mechanical school, and the exchange fee is 1,000 gold pounds)......"

"On September 8, 1578 in the new calendar, the fusion experiment began today, and as expected, there were frequent accidents, and the experimental equipment was greatly damaged (eight hundred gold pounds)......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"On September 14, 1578 in the new calendar, the Soul Melting Rune was at full level, and the Earth Spirit Circle was at full level, hey, I had to fall into making a mechanical arm, engrave the rune, and then accept the bad news of the failure of the experiment (grass, cost two thousand gold pounds)......"

"On September 15, 1578 in the new calendar, I received a suggestion to delay the activation of the Earth Spirit, and Christa, an inconspicuous witch, was unexpectedly reliable (another day of heavy losses, 1,200 gold pounds) ......"

Seeing the end, Wayne sighed lightly, "There is progress, but not much." ”

The most important thing is the cost of those gold pounds...... Although the materials consumed by the research project do not need his money, the research institute is his, and those gold pounds should have a better source.

With such a distressed feeling, Wayne took out the potion crafting materials he had just exchanged, and prepared to try to make one first according to the knowledge in his mind.

Hopefully, this gray potion that increases the original quality of the undead creatures can help make a breakthrough in the experiment......

Wayne couldn't help but complain again, "I don't know which great potions master got such a terrible name, the gray potion...... It's better to call it a gray area. ”

Then, he activated the cauldron and threw materials such as the soil mud of the undead world and the director-level skeleton origin core into it without hesitation......

Outside the studio, a few women sat at the dining table, enjoying dinner in a relaxed and happy manner, not at all as busy as Wayne.

Claire was sipping the wine she had seized from the Purple Flower Family with her glass, her face flushed with two blushes, making her already beautiful face even more delicate.

Compared with more than ten days, she is a little less crazy and charming, and has more of a noble lady like Vivian.

Well, to be exact, much more noble.

"I don't know what Wayne is busy in there, but I always feel that he is more focused than ever during this time." Claire looked meaningfully at Miss Zombie sitting in the corner, "Sarava, you know what? ”

Of course, she knew about Wayne's experiment this time, but it was knowing his goal that made her mood fluctuate slightly.

She cares so much about Wayne, she is not as good as a little zombie who has been dead for many years and has a stiff body?

Is she not beautiful enough, not charming enough, not delicate enough, not strong enough, not angry enough?

Hmph, what's the difference?!

Sava silently hugged a deep-sea fish zombie and ate it, her pale face without any expression, but after hearing Claire's words, her mechanical eyes shrank, expressing a hint of psychological fluctuations.

"First mate Claire, I heard that you and the evil ...... Wayne hasn't known each other for long? ”

Through the power of power, Pavra vaguely felt Claire's thoughts, envy?

She didn't know why the powerful woman in front of her envied Miss Zombie, was it because of Sava's immortal body?

"It's not long, it's only thirty-one days, eight hours and forty-two minutes." Claire picked up a piece of sashimi and put it in her mouth, chuckling as she chewed.

Thirty-one days...... How did she get the time down to the minute?

The point is, what's the point of writing down this time?

Seems to have seen something like this somewhere?

Pavra thought back to the precious relics of the era she had seen in the past, and it seemed that there was such a phrase in some epic poem about the elopement of a knight and a princess.

So, Lady Claire and the Evil Wizard, is it love?

"Then you ...... him" Pavra asked cautiously with a little curiosity on her face, "I mean, at that time he was just an ordinary wizard, and you were the 'Thousand Faces' of the Eternal Life Society, how did you have such a deep, well, relationship with him in such a short period of time?" ”

In fact, she wanted to talk about feelings.

But if you think about it, it seems that the girls sitting at the table now have an extraordinary relationship with Wayne.

Wait, she doesn't include her here!

"Hmm," Claire's graceful movements paused, and the figure of Wayne unconsciously appeared in her mind, and she was silent for a few seconds, "I like it." ”

In fact, she had thought about this question herself, especially after the seal had been lifted, but there was never an answer.

This answer refers not to her feelings for Wayne, but to the fact that she doesn't know the origin of the peace of mind and affection that Wayne brings her.

In other words, before she was aware of this problem, she was inexplicably attracted to Wayne, and subconsciously thought that he was the reliable, honest and handsome man.

"Like?"

Pavra smiled as expected, confirming that the relationship between the two of them could now be called affection.

"Of course, but I'm not the only one who feels that way." Claire pursed her lips, her eyes fell on the little white hair and the little zombie opposite, and her eyes already revealed what she wanted to express.

"Tina, I like it, Wayne." The white-haired girl raised her head and stared at Claire...... On his chest, his little hand grabbed the potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth, "Tina, I don't like it, Clea." ”

"Me too." Miss Zombie is concise and to the point.

"You two, we're all on the same ship now, don't go too far!" Claire almost laughed angrily, a white-haired tablet and a mechanical zombie, which of the two compares to her?

"Tina," the white-haired girl picked up the clown doll and put it on the table, staring at Claire, "ugly, I don't like it either." ”

"Huh?"

Claire looked at the clown doll, her eyes flashing a little dangerous, forbidden ...... Dare to rob Wayne too?

The clown who was originally watching the play was pulled to the table coldly, and his body instantly stiffened.

Hug Si, I'm just a doll, really! It has to be!

"Tina, ugly?"

The white-haired girl smashed her little fist on the clown doll's head, and in the dark world as far as her eyes could see, a sneering Mr. Leonard realized that something was wrong, but the shadows that surged wildly around him instantly tied him up.

Now the clown understands completely - it's time to make a choice!

"Hee-hop," the clown doll sat up abruptly, her fluffy arm pointing at Claire and grinning wide-mouthed, "I hate you." ”

After saying that, his pair of button eyes also glanced vaguely in the direction of the little white hair, okay? Is it okay?

"Tina, tell me the truth." Little White Fur looked at Claire expressionlessly, now believe it, right?

Miss Zombie wiped the corners of her mouth and echoed, "Tina, is an honest and kind girl. ”

Click.

The knife and fork in Claire's hand instantly deformed, and she took the place of Tina and Sava in an undeserved pain.

Honest and kind?

Isn't she an honest and kind woman?

"First mate, I think you ......"

Pavra wanted to express her approval of Claire, but the things that came to mind about the Eternal Society, about the Thousand Faces......

She stuck out her tongue and changed her words: "Well, today's ingredients are really good." ”

Like the evil sorcerer Wayne, Claire's sins will not be led to the kingdom of God by the Great Dawn.

"Y-huh?"

Claire's embarrassed face suddenly became a little more solemn, "Something's wrong, Sarah, go tell Wayne there's trouble outside." ”

Before she could finish speaking, her body leaned softly against her chair, her eyes glazed over, and it was clear that her consciousness had returned to the outside of the theater.

And Miss Zombie didn't hesitate, the moment she got up, she appeared in the work area and pushed the door in.

Although she didn't like the woman who was so big and bewitching, and knew how to please Wayne, they were all on the same boat.

Seeing this scene, Pavra smiled dumbly: "This may be a little different from the story of the epic legend." ”

Trouble outside, though?

It shouldn't be the Judgment Maiden.

Hey, I don't know how the Sanctuary will react when they learn that she was captured by an evil wizard?

I hope it's not like that kind girl, after being rescued, the people around her look at her with strange eyes, as if she is an accomplice to the most heinous crimes......

In the studio not far away, Wayne frowned and listened to Shava's words, and directly asked the ghost to devour the potion that had not yet been made, and then took out the golden key and left the theater.

For ten days, the Leonard had sailed safely, occasionally encountering merchant ships, and at his orders, choosing to ignore and leave.

Who will be in trouble at this time?

When Wayne appeared in the cabin, he noticed the violent shaking of the hull, and the layout of the bedroom was no longer as smooth as before, and it was thrown around in a mess.

At this time, he heard Claire's voice outside, and her tone was full of exasperation, "Twilight Sect, gravedigger! ”

Are you from the Twilight Sect?

The mummies are here again.

But what is a gravedigger?

Without thinking much about it, Wayne followed the direction of spiritual perception and flashed straight into the bow of the ship.

He glanced around, his gaze falling straight ahead, his brow furrowed.

This......

I saw that on the sea not far away, the wind and clouds were surging, and the clouds were dense as if covering the sky, and a huge tornado connected the clouds from the sea upward, carrying a huge amount of sea water, countless deep-sea fish and distorted species, a doomsday scene.

And beneath the clouds, a carriage was parked before the horrific storm tornado, four black horses standing still, their dark eyes fixed on his location.

A black-robed man stood behind a steed, his hood the same width as his shoulders, making the black-robed figure look very strange.

And his eyes without a trace of emotion also reflected the figure of Wayne like a horse.

But that's not all, Wayne's gaze fell on the carriage further behind, the pyramid?

Is it those things that are stored with killing intent?

It's a little smaller, right?

"Thou hast the blessing of my true Lord!"

At this time, the black-robed man's tone was cold and ethereal, and it was very clear under the noisy sound of the surrounding thunder and waves, as if he was roaring in everyone's ears.

Blessing?

On me?

Wayne thought for a moment, and casually summoned the pyramid he had harvested when he killed the cowardly Purple Flower Captain, "You say this? ”

The only thing in him that can be related to the Twilight Sect is the pyramid.

"Blasphemy against the True Master, die!"

Die?

It seems that the people of the Twilight Sect are all straight up and going crazy.

Wayne glanced at the black-robed man and asked, "Claire, do you know them?" Gravedigger? ”

"Well, that's an advance of the Twilight Sect's secret monks." Claire stood beside him with a solemn expression, "My memory tells me that the strength of every gravedigger is comparable to the level of the Hand of the Kingdom, that is, the top wizards in your wizarding school. ”

Hand of the Kingdom, the top Grand Wizard?

Wei En was clear in his heart, the strength of the black-robed man in front of him should be the same as the Great Demon Leader who was summoned by the clown before.

"But the most terrifying thing about him," Clea continued, "is that he can use the tombstone to summon powerful creatures from another world, what they call the real world." ”

"Tombstones?"

Claire nodded, pointing to the black-robed man's hands, "What he carries in his hands is that the more powerful he is, the more powerful he is, and some creatures are even as strong as himself." ”

Jingle jingle bells.

At this moment, a crisp and pleasant sound like a wind chime sounded.

With that, hundreds of pieces of information instantly swiped out on the panel in Wayne's mind.

[You stepped into the place where the endless killing intent of the unknown existence was contained, and because your spiritual level was greater than 5000, you successfully resisted the erosion of spiritual power. Comment: Well, I see, the so-called true...... Special Rewards: +20 Survival Points, +2 Spirit Level. 】

【……】

【You step in...... Special Reward: +10 Survival Points. 】

You are locked in by the killing intent of Gravedigger AgostiΓ±o Xavi. Evaluation: Sixty percent of the original fusion, be careful not to be pulled into the "real world" by it, that's the graveyard! Reward: +100 survival points. 】

Well?

Wayne noticed the hints on the panel, determining that the pyramids were the place where the killing intent was stored.

But a whole hundred killing intent storage information?

Are there a hundred pyramids?

What was that carriage ......

That carriage, there's a problem!

But what about the "real world" and "graveyard" that the panel refers to?

Thinking of the transcendent beings that Claire had just said, Wayne pondered.

Does "real world" refer to the world in which those creatures live?

But before Wayne could think deeply, a terrifying power descended, making his body tense instantly.

But Ronan and the others behind him didn't even react, they were overwhelmed on the deck, caught off guard, and some pirates even fainted directly from this impact.

Wayne's eyes changed slightly, such a power he had felt in the Great Demon Leader, it was the extreme condensed origin power stirring the surrounding space.

Not only that, with the outbreak of the black-robed man, the pyramid on the carriage shook even more violently, and the dazzling silver-white light flashed again and again, shining on the blood stains of the carriage, exuding an atmosphere of depression, coldness, madness, and despair.

"You take them all into the cabin."

Wayne stepped forward and stood in front of Claire, telling her to quickly move Ronan and them away instead of staying here.

He knew that he was still far from the level of the Great Demon Commander, and there was no way to take care of the people on the ship during the battle.

"Watch out for the carriage behind him!" Claire nodded, she was also aware of her strength, and could only provide as much information as possible about the gravedigger, "You should remember the alchemy circle you encountered on Dacman Island before, right?" ”

"You mean there's a deep sea monster in there?"

Wayne's brows furrowed, of course he wouldn't forget the terrifying alchemy array that could advance to the deep sea beasts.

If the carriage was filled with a deep-sea beast, it couldn't have been worse!

"Quite possibly!"

Claire looked at the black-robed man again, gritted her teeth and turned around, "Be careful yourself, if you can't beat it, remember to return to the theater!" ”

"Hmm."

When Claire used the puppet silk thread to control the pirates on the deck to hide in the cabin, Wayne was slightly relieved.

He jumped onto the side of the ship, looked condescendingly at the black-robed man who didn't make any blocking movements, and asked as he moved his body, "Can you tell me the purpose of these pyramids you have arranged in the Cordor Sea?" ”

It shouldn't be just to make more deep-sea beasts advance, right?

At least, there must be a place to go, or a goal, after those deep-sea behemoths are promoted?

But the black-robed man standing in the carriage did not answer his question, but said with a little anger:

"I remember who she is!"

PS: Sorry, today's update is late again...... The routine is disrupted......
