"Black hair and red eyes, dressed as a wizard, and next to the 'devil' Ronan of the original Golden Diss...... Can't be wrong, it's the aberrant wizard Wayne Lovet who made a big fuss some time ago. ”

"It's really him, I didn't expect him to come here......"

"I heard that the Church of Dawn sent a holy woman with a legion to hunt him down?"

"Huh? So how long is he going to stay on the island? I don't want him to stay here in case the damn saint finds him......"

"Afraid of what? Isn't that the Holy Maiden of the Church of the Dawn? ”

"Fool, do you know who's going after him? It's the Saintess of Judgment, thirty years ago, that woman's strength reached the legendary level, if she came here, she could kill you with just one look! ”

"Huh? So terrifying? ”

"Probably not...... Right? Damn, I suddenly want to get rid of him! ”

"No, I'll have to talk to the captain quickly, and if he really plans to stay on the island for a while, then I'll have to leave now."

People from transcendent families who come and go are not worried about the saints of the Dawn Church, and it is not a bad thing to believe in Dawn in the Eastern Continent.

On the contrary, they were more worried about the aberrant wizard in front of them who had attacked the "Purple Flower" family.

"I heard that the one from the Purple Flower Family was severely punished after returning to the city-state? And was removed as an heir? ”

"Yes, she just took the position, and she wanted to take advantage of this trip to stabilize her position in the family, but she didn't expect to meet this ...... halfway The most unlucky thing is that they snatched away all the people they had worked so hard to cultivate. ”

"No wonder I just saw Herwin get off that ship, he's already a pirate?"

"Speaking of boats...... You should have seen that, right? Is that the ship of the Church of the Dawn? ”

"Sure enough, as rumored, this aberrant wizard hates the dawn......"

"Say no more, shut up! He's seen it! ”

Tut.

Wayne's spiritual power covers the entire neighborhood near the port, and he can clearly hear the discussions of the people around him, as well as the exploration and malice with it. He couldn't help but feel the feeling he had when he was in the city-state of Custer again after a long absence.

At that time, it was the same way, on the way to and from work, he would be scrutinized by all kinds of people, and there would always be inexplicable people who radiated unwarranted malice towards him.

In retrospect, it's probably the way people in this world survive, right?

At the end of the Lingang block, on the left and right are two larger and more elaborate shops than the front, one with Alexei Gold Tavern written on it, and the other side is hung with the banner of the Black Pearl.

The only thing that is the same is that there are some coolly dressed girls at the door of both taverns, not as enthusiastic as the taverns outside, but rather standing very quietly at the door, only when the guests come and go that they have the intention of entering, they step forward, show a formulaic smile, and lead them in without humility or arrogance.

At the door of the tavern stood several burly pirates, armed with machetes or muskets, staring at passers-by with indifferent expressions.

And with the door that opened and closed, from time to time there were drunken pirates who were carried out and hung on a pole to sober up.

"The Black Pearl has always had taverns, especially on an island like this, and business is very good."

Ronan's triangular eyes lingered on the girl at the door for a few seconds, and his throat swallowed a few times unconsciously, if it weren't for Wayne's follow, he would now want to find a tavern to stay in for a few days, just like other pirates.

"And what about the tavern across from it?"

Wayne looked left and right, both of these taverns were guarded by rune circles, and most of the people who came in and out were people from well-dressed transcendent families, or some obviously more powerful pirates.

It doesn't seem to make a difference.

"The Golden Tavern? It is also owned by the Black Pearl. But ......" Ronan leaned closer and whispered as much as he could, "One family's proceeds will be handed over to the Black Pearl, and the other will not be used, and will belong to the property of those people on duty in the city-state." ”

"Oh."

Wayne nodded, the Golden Tavern was the private property of the three Black Pearl pirates, no wonder they could occupy the best position and dare to open together.

"Let's go, go to the repair shop first, and you can rest later."

"Captain, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." Ronan sneered a few times, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, leading Wayne towards the high wall at the end.

Wayne looked at his back and laughed silently.

Ronan's second mate has also changed a lot.

"Tina, familiar." The white-haired girl took his hand, staring at the Alexei Golden Tavern next to her with empty eyes, and her indifferent voice was slightly puzzled.

"Huh?"

Wayne, who was about to follow her, heard her words and looked at her eyes, "There's something you're familiar with?" ”

Tina nodded her head, "Tina, familiar. ”

"Is that so?"

Wayne looked thoughtfully at the red-brick spired tavern, and looking in from the doorway, he could only see a few extraordinary people in neat dresses laughing in the vestibule, followed by a cool lady.

"Captain, is there a problem?" Ronan noticed that the two didn't follow, and hurriedly ran back and asked.

"Nope."

Wayne thought about it, but decided to deal with the repair of the ship first, and then come back to investigate, "Let's go, let's enter the city-state first." ”

With that, he took Tina's little hand and motioned for Ronan to continue leading the way.

There weren't many things that could make Little White Fur feel familiar, except for the people and things she had come into contact with in the city-state of Custer, and there should be only the things that Ales had been exposed to before he brought her back to Custer.

But no matter which one you are, as long as you're still on this island, don't even think about running away!

"Please follow me."

Although Ronan had doubts, the captain did not say anything, and he could not ask, so he had to walk in front as usual, and pay the entrance fee outside the open gate under the high wall.

"Ships, names!"

In the doorway were two pirates wearing Black Pearl jackets, somewhat similar to the one on Black Jack, but in a slightly different color. From under the open jackets, two muskets were still hanging from their waists, and a pendant representing the identity of the Black Pearl was on the black shorts underneath.

The two of them, like city-state guards, looked at Wayne vigilantly, and their eyes fell more on Wayne, who had obviously recognized his identity.

"Leonard, Captain Wayne, Second Officer Ronan, and ......" Ronan hesitated as he looked at the white-haired girl who was following the captain closely.

Although he had seen Tina on the ship before, his name was unclear.

"She doesn't need to."

Wayne shook his head, signaling to Tina, who was beside him, not to register.

"No, everyone must register to enter the Alexei city-state!" One of the pirates, with several scars on his face, spoke in a resolute tone.

"Oh?"

Wayne looked at them calmly, his red pupils flickering in the depths, reflecting the figures of the two pirates.

"This is Alexei Island, where the Black Pearl is located, don't think that if you refuse First Officer Jack, you can't follow the rules here!"

"It's Boss Adolad who is in charge of this place now, and he's not as talkative as First Officer Jack!"

The other pirate also had a bad look, and his hand was on the handle of his musket, as if he dared to say more.

"What if I insist?"

"Who do you think you are?!"

Wayne chuckled, "Me? ”

Talent - Deception, Activation!

Illusion Making!

Mind control!

Wayne stared into their eyes, "Who do you think I am?" ”

With the activation of his innate ability, he could feel that in his mind, in the origin world behind the panel, a faint and inexplicable power spread out, bypassing the panel and turning into spiritual power through the soul, spreading to the whole body.

When his voice came out, the strange innate ability took effect.

"You? You!? Lord Lotilea!? ”

The two pirates' gaze changed suddenly, and in an instant, they changed from fierce to deeply fearful, and a layer of sweat appeared on their heads, and their faces turned even paler.

"Hug, I'm sorry, Lord Lotilia, I, I didn't know it was you......"

"Yes, yes, if I knew that you had come to Alexei Island, I believe that Boss Adolad would have come from the station to meet you. I'm going to inform Boss Adolad right now! ”

"No need."

Wayne glanced at the onlookers behind him, the effect of the deception talent changed with his mind, incorporating them all, "My arrival is a secret, forget about it." ”

"Yes, yes, my lord, we don't know anything."

"Understood, I must forget!"

Not only did the two pirate guards bow and salute, but the pirates and sailors of the transcendent families around them also felt a flash in front of them, and regarded Wayne and them as their respective captains or family leaders, and lowered their heads nervously, not daring to slack off.

"Now, can we go in?"

"Of course, of course, you, please come in!"

Wayne gestured to Ronan, who was still a little confused and didn't know what was happening, and led Tina straight through the high wall into the pirate-controlled city-state.

When they disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, these people woke up like a dream, looked at each other, and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"I just looked like I was looking at ......"

"Shut up, you haven't seen anything, you haven't heard anything, get out!"

The pirate guard with scars on his face waved viciously at the people around him, "If you don't leave, I'll notify the city-state's guards!" ”

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

These people only felt that a few figures were missing in their minds, and after being scolded, they had already come back to their senses, remembered what they were going to do, and hurriedly passed through this high-walled doorway.

"Edhyde, who you just identified?"

"Who? Don't hurt me, Ulaqi! ”

"Hmm."

After a few brief conversations, the two pirate guards stared at those who wanted to enter the city-state, gradually forgetting what they had just seen, except for a line of scribbled handwriting on the register—the Leonard, Captain Wayne, and Second Officer Ronan.

And on the second floor of Alexei's Golden Tavern, not far from them, a figure dressed as a sailor stood quietly at the window, witnessing what was happening at the entrance to the city-state.

"Sure enough......

The figure's slightly cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and after muttering to himself, the figure disappeared in a flash, as if it had never entered the tavern, without anyone noticing.

……

……

Far away from Alexei Island, a stormy sea was covered with heavy clouds, lightning and thunder were accumulating, and strong winds were raging.

But the strange thing is that under such celestial phenomena and sea breezes, there is not a single wave on the entire sea surface, calm like a pool of stagnant water, without a trace of waves.

From a distance, in the dim central area, a vague black shadow stood above the sea, slowly moving with the movement of the dark clouds.

Whether it was a deep-sea aberration, a deep-sea behemoth, or an island in front of it, it faded away as the clouds shrouded it, turning into calm waters, as if they had been erased from there.

At this moment, above the island, a dim mist filled the air, and a dilapidated house like the one in the neighborhood of Laos was in the middle of the island.

A few tall oak trees surrounded the dilapidated house, and from time to time a figure shrouded in black robes, driving a black carriage, slowly stepped out from under the oak trees, as if there was a door under the old bark for them to pass through.

Hanging from the outer edge of the carriage were a number of delicate pyramids, swaying and colliding with each other, making a crisp jingling bell, bringing a touch of life to the dark and lonely atmosphere here.

And as the carriage stopped in the open space outside the dilapidated house, two tall and thin figures would come out of the house, kneel respectfully on the side of the black-robed man on the carriage, raise the tray in his hand high, and let the coachman shrouded in the black robe take down the small pyramid and put it in the tray.

In a few moments, the pyramid filled the pallets.

Then, the tall, lanky figures stepped aside, and their voices muffled out a few Gonzalez notes, "Forty-three." ”

"Fifty-two."

"Master Mesa, bring back ninety-five 'Gamendia's Dreams'."

The black-robed man tilted his head slightly, his gaze fell on the tray, as if he was checking, and then he re-pulled the reins and controlled the carriage to drive towards the oak trees on the other side, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“…… On the south shore of the North Continent, dozens of great wizards have appeared, in groups of three, who are exploring outward with Gramy Island as the center, and there are currently three 'Dreams of Gamendia' that have been found and devoured by them. ”

"It's the same on the west coast of the East Continent, but it's the Spiritual Secret School that struck, and they also found two. According to the investigation of the secret monks over there, the two 'Dream Realms of Gamendia' appeared in the Northern Continent the next day. ”

"So, the people who are targeting our Twilight Sect right now are the ghosts?"

"Judging from the information we have so far, it is indeed that group of shameless madmen."

Several people in black robes sat in the conference room on the second floor of the dilapidated house. They were emaciated, their faces were wrapped in new strips of golden cloth, and only a pair of cold and emotionless eyes appeared.

"Spirits...... Did they find anything? ”

"Yes."

"I want to know, who told them, or what they wanted to do?"

"Engelbert, don't be under any illusions. Our arrangement at sea should have been exposed. It's just that I didn't expect that it was not the hateful scum of the Eternal Society who struck first, but the ghosts! ”

The man at the head, who was wrapped in strips of golden cloth like everyone else, held a golden scepter and listened quietly to their conversation before he spoke, "I see. ”

"What now? Only one percent of 'Gamendia's Dreams' have been recovered so far, and if the Spirits and the Occult continue to do so, I'm afraid our plans will be affected as well. ”

"Yes, Engelbert, you are the person in charge chosen by the great Truth and Killing Co-Master, and I believe you know better than us what the consequences will be if that thing fails."

"I said, I see." The man at the head of the group, shrouded in golden cloth, looked coldly at everyone sitting here, "Or, do you have a better way?" ”

"Now we need to make sure how much the ghosts know about those madmen!"

"Does it matter?"

"Very important! Engelbert, if they really make a decision to disrupt our arrangement throughout the sea of Cordo, then they are the enemy! ”

"Deal with the enemies of the Great True Master, and let them suffer!"

"Since that incident in the middle of the Third Age, we have hardly faced each other with the various schools, you should know what the reason is, right?" The leader, Engelbert asked.

"So, you're going to let them wreak havoc?"

"Of course not!" Engelbert shook his head slightly, "As you just said, let's find out their purpose first." ”

"And the Eternal Society, they've been moving a lot less lately, and I suspect they're aware of our plans."

"They? If they knew by now, it would be even worse. ”

"Ishdar, you're in charge of finding out the Spirits' madmen. Agni, you know what to do with the Eternal Society, and you're in charge there. And Siegel ......"

Engelbert gently stroked the golden scepter, "The Araniga's movements are too slow, is Suyad still worried?" ”

"Yes!" The man named Siegel turned his head to look at him stiffly, "That taboo could get out of control at any time, and he had a fear ......"

"Then detonate it!"

"And then ......"

Engelbert looked at him as well, "And then there's the 'Emperor of the Sea' Isabelo Clijsters." ”

"It's still a while before it opens up there."

"Let's control the sea area of Cordo first, there is no 'Homecoming' here, even if you lose some of the 'Dream of Gamendia'...... Nor will anyone be able to influence the progress of the plan. ”

"There, not everyone can enter!"

"So that's how it was arranged? I'm going to talk to the old Wraiths? ”

"Go ahead, be careful." Engelbert bowed slightly, "It's about the arrangement of the great true master, I hope they can back down, otherwise they ......"

"The first demigod to fall in the Forbidden Age will be the chief dean of the Ghost School, Waklaf Samuel Kabo!"

"Assert ......"

……

……

Within the walls of the city-state of Alexei Island, there is a chaotic and dynamic place, as free as the pirates and noble-born transcendents who come and go.

There are traces of destruction on each stone slab, which seems to have experienced the aftermath of many wars, and it is naked in everyone's eyes.

As Wayne and Ronan walk through the walls of the city-state, the first thing that catches their eye is a bustling street.

The streets are lined with stalls where pirates shout about goods looted from the seas of Cordo, from glittering gems and precious spices to all sorts of bizarre weaponry.

Most of the people who came and went were dressed in long robes, or wore a half-length hood in a neat and elaborate gown, and there was a feeling of covering their ears and stealing the bell.

"Here, there is the largest black market in the nearby sea area for thousands of kilometers."

Ronan followed closely to Wayne's side, reminiscing about the scene here, and introduced, "Don't look at those stalls, which are not big, but the things on them are rarely fake. ”

Wayne understood what he meant, and it was better for the pirates to rob an extra merchant ship than to forge it.

From the vicious threats and provocations that come from some of the surrounding bargains, you can know that there are no so-called rules for trading here, and what is needed is strength and courage, as well as financial resources.

"Damn, this is the loot that Lao Tzu desperately seized from the mouth of the deep-sea monster, worth a thousand gold pounds, and you dare to say that it is only worth a penny?"

"Sell it or not? Don't sell, go. ”

"Sell!"

Of course, although there are no fakes, there are some junks that I don't know where to dig them out......

Relatively speaking, the entire Alexei city-state was fairly well planned, from the outside in, in order, the trading area, the shop area, the garrison of the various pirate groups, and the station in the center of the Black Pearl, a square area the size of the Krims Cathedral!

After passing through this trading area, you will arrive at the so-called shop area.

Wayne's frown leveled out, his ears aching from the noise of the surrounding noise in the trading area.

Compared to the trading area behind it, the few blocks where the shop area is located are much quieter.

Despite being in the same pirate-controlled city-state, the pavement is cleaner and the people who come and go are not as cautious as those in the trading area outside.

Judging from the expressions on their faces, it is generally believed that there is a certain guarantee of safety here.

"Captain, the place where the repair shop belongs is at the end of this block, and it belongs to the Jimenez family, with a number of experienced old shipwrights."

"Hmm."

Wayne looked around at the shops and felt fresh.

It's not as complicated as the city-state of Caster, but in terms of business itself, it's more extensive than the alley deep down the Basil neighborhood.

There are not only tinkling blacksmith workshops, potions, but also shops with wizarding school logos on the door.

Well?

Wayne stopped outside a workshop and looked at the black fire sign hanging from the door.

"There's even a shop where the ghost belongs......"

PS: Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the weekend, there will be more updates.
