Chapter 250: Captain, Help!
"Brother Ronan, tell us about your wizard captain again?"
"Yes, Ronan, when you left here last time, you said that you were going to the northern seas to find the island of Bannings, which is not polluted by the red moon, why did you become the second officer on someone else's ship not long after you set off?"
"It's just the second mate, not even the first mate...... Ay? So who is the first mate on your ship? β
Ronan squinted at the others around him and pouted: "Don't ask, I won't say anything about the boss and the first mate!" β
Of course, he couldn't tell them that he had been kidnapped by Wayne at the time.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to be laughed to death.
And about the beautiful first mate, he can't say anything about it.
In case these people revealed the matter, with his observation of the captain during this time, he was afraid that he would be whipped from the mast.
"Drink!"
"Cheers!" Seeing this, the other two pirates also raised their beer glasses.
After putting down the wine glass, Ronan sat in the tavern box and held a gorgeous girl, playing with the two hanging clocks with his mechanical arm and fiddling with the hands on the huge dial.
He didn't have much touch or skill, but he had a smile on his face that was familiar to all pirates.
"It seems that the captain is very capable of making you follow so desperately?" A pirate on the left, with an eyepatch on his face, asked.
"Of course, our captain is very strong."
"Stronger than the 'Golden Giant' Diss?" The other pirate asked with a smirk.
Ronan's movements paused, his face became gloomy, and his triangular eyes stared at him gloomily, "Finley, if you want to know, you can go to my boss and give it a try!" β
"Try?" The pirate named Finley was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I don't dare, after all, that one dares to rob the ship of the Church of Dawn ......."
"Then shut up!"
"Alright, Finley." The one-eyed pirate smiled and waved his hand, and gestured: "It's a pleasure to see my old friend appear on Alexei Island safely today, mainly to have fun, hahaha." β
"And as for who is stronger, the wizard or Dis, the recent Cordo Gazette has published, and the 'Wizard of Aberration' Wayne Loft has not yet reached the legendary level."
If it doesn't reach the legendary level, it is far from being comparable to the "Golden Giant" Diss.
"I'll just say, how can Captain Dees be in this sea area, second only to the 'Emperor' of the Black Pearl and Captain Suyad of the Aranika...... in this sea area?"
Bang!
Rumble!
Ronan grimaced and smashed the table in front of him with a punch, scattering the drinks all over the floor.
The One-Eyed Pirate and Finley looked at him stunned, "......"
"You two had better pray that you don't get hit by our Leonard on the sea, or ...... Hum! β
As the words fell, Ronan shook off the surprised girl beside him and got up to leave.
"You, him? How dare he? β
Finley looked at the messy floor and said with shame, "Even when I was in the 'Golden Giant' Dis Pirate Regiment before, I didn't maintain their captain like now. β
"Forget it, Finley." The One-Eyed Pirate looked thoughtfully in the direction of the doorway, "He's already found a definite future. β
"The future? Aberration wizards? β
The one-eyed pirate didn't explain much, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "Remember what he just said, and when you go to sea and see that Leonard in the future, remember to stay away." β
"I ......"
Finley's face turned red, and he held his head high and hummed, "On the sea, it is not certain who lives and who dies!" β
On the other side, Ronan came out of the tavern with an annoyed face, still swearing in his mouth.
If it weren't for the fact that this Alexei Island was the station of the Black Pearl, he would have wanted to do it directly.
How do these two bastards know the greatness of the captain?
Captain Diess, the "Golden Giant", is certainly strong, but in the face of a disaster like Dacman Island, he will never choose to rescue other pirates first.
Similarly, when the Church of Dawn ships are in pursuit, he will only choose to flee in embarrassment.
Only Captain Wayne, when in danger, is the first to take the pirates to a safe place, and then face the danger alone......
"Bastard, when the ship is repaired, I must advise the captain to block them on the island! Don't let ......"
"Second mate Ronan?"
At this time, in the alley of Tavern Street, in the shadows that the red moon could not reach, a dark shadow looked at Ronan who was walking by and asked.
"Huh?"
Ronan glanced at him, and his heart immediately became vigilant.
There are dangers at sea, vagaries of the weather, terrifying aberrations of the depths, and dreams at night, all of which cannot be avoided by man.
But in the city-state, he knew that the greatest danger was not the pollution of the red moon, but the scheming people who haunted the night.
Some are demagogic cultists, some are transcendents who are polluted and about to get out of control, and some are evil transcendents who specialize in doing bad things......
Just like now, a person hiding in a dark corner almost has the word "bad guy" engraved on his body.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? β
As he spoke, the corner of Ronan's eye glanced at the guards belonging to the Alexei city-state not far away.
He had already made up his mind - when he was in danger, he shouted for help.
Are pirates really reckless fools?
"Looks like it's you."
The black shadow slowly stepped out, shrouded in a black robe, revealing only a pair of bright and deep eyes.
Eye?
Ronan's heart sank, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to call for help, he found that his body was no longer able to move.
Damn, it's a transcendent trait with psychic attack ability!
"Come with me."
A smile flashed in the shadow's eyes, and he turned and walked deeper into the alley.
Behind him, the triangular eyes followed in unison, walking naturally, his face was calm, and everything looked normal.
This is terrible...... Captain, help!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Alexey City-State, Baskabyru Lodge.
There was no flame in the fireplace next to it, but a small tree with a bright red body, and the faint red light reflected the warmth of the living room like a flame.
There is a sconces on each of the four walls, and the dawn candles flicker with a dim glow of fire, dispelling the slight flush that shines through the windows and doors.
The two thousand leaf grasses at the entrance and the staircase are full of green, exuding a faint aroma of herbs, which makes the whole room look much fresher.
Erikang Bascabiru sat on the sofa on the first floor, holding a thick book and reading it with relish.
Da Da ......
"Huh?"
Hearing footsteps on the stairs behind him, Elikon Baskabyru looked up slightly.
It's so late and there are still guests who haven't rested?
He beckoned to the family guard standing at the counter across from him, and motioned to wait at the staircase.
After a while, the two of them stood on the side of the stairs neatly dressed, and saw Wayne wearing wizard's robes appear at the end of the wooden ladder.
A smile appeared on Elikan's face, and he said respectfully, "Wizard Wayne, it's so late, you want to go out?" β
The person who slowly descended the stairs was none other than Wayne, who had returned to the inn after inspecting the entire Alexei Island.
He didn't rest, and after returning to his room to change his clothes, he went downstairs with a calm expression, wanting to go to the center of the city-state to investigate.
"I heard that there is a wonderful gladiatorial fight in the gladiatorial arena in the central area tonight, and I want to go over and see it."
"Gladiatorial fighting?" Erikon looked at the hanging bell on the wall and muttered, "The first gladiatorial fight should be over by this time, you ......"
"It's okay," Wayne smiled disapprehantly, "just wanted to see there, I'm curious about the pirates and noble merchants on this island." β
Pirates, nobles?
Erikan's face was silent, but his heart was pang.
The wizard of Wayne may seem peaceful, but he is not a good-natured man.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of Vasquez and thousands of priests in the city-state of Caster, since he went to sea, he slaughtered the entire Storm Hunter, then sank Dacman Island, and then killed the pursuing Dawn Judge Huberto Watson and others......
Just as it was reported in the newspapers, his hands were stained with the blood of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.
Such a person, deliberately going to watch a gladiatorial battle, would be a simple glimpse of the life of pirates and noble merchants on Alexei Island?
Erican doesn't believe it!
"It's a good place to be, Wizard Wayne."
"Really?" Wayne looked at him with a smirk, "Mr. Elican, why didn't you come over tonight?" β
"I want to, too, but ...... here"
Erikang pointed to the counter without losing his manners, "The family business cannot be lost, and I must serve every guest here." β
"Then you are really a good heir."
Wayne didn't know how much truth his words had, but he didn't really care either.
"By the way, Mr. Elikan, is there any progress on that batch of Chiba I ordered?"
"I was just about to tell you that I have already contacted the family, and they will use the messenger of the Nightmare Sect to send those thousand leaves to the city-state of Custer as soon as possible."
Wayne nodded, "Then thank you, Mr. Elikan." β
The Nightmare Cult's Couriers are not teleportation circles and cannot send living creatures to other places, but they are an excellent choice for sending things.
"This is what I should do, you are welcome." Erican smiled shyly and asked, "I forgot to ask you, did you receive an invitation from there when you went to the Colosseum?" β
"Invitation?"
"Don't you?"
"Nope."
Wayne only thought about going there to find the Black Pearl's people, but he neglected to know how to enter the gladiatorial arena.
But he didn't worry too much, even if he didn't have an invitation, he had a way to get in.
But it's inconvenient for Erican to know about this.
"I've got it here."
Elican smiled, and took out a black envelope from the inside pocket of his jacket, and there was an elaborate trinket on the letter, the symbol of the Black Pearl, the giant sea beast Rasim.
"Just I don't need it, you can take it."
"What's so embarrassing?"
Wayne took the invitation and said with a smile, "Thank you very much." β
"No, you're too polite."
Speaking of this, Erican paused, and the smile on his face retracted, "But there is one thing, I have to remind you. β
"Oh?"
"You've probably heard of 'One-Eyed' Adorad Walls who likes to find someone to play in the gladiatorial arena."
"Well, I've heard Ronan say that." Wayne's expression moved, and his brows furrowed slightly: "You mean, it's possible for him to find me?" β
"It's not just him," Erikan's eyes reflected him, the corners of his mouth turned up, "it's likely that even that 'pretty hand', Lady Franta Carneiro, will find you." β
Wayne was stunned: "'Beautiful hand' Flanda Canero? β
His appearance is much better than when he first came, but he is still some distance from handsome.
The female pirate who had the right to choose a mate ...... him Probably not......
"I see, thanks Mr. Elican for the reminder."
Seeing that he still decided to go, Erikang had no choice but to salute respectfully and said, "I wish Wizard Wayne a good time in the Colosseum." β
With his knowledge of "One-Eyed" and "Pretty Hands", a newcomer like Wizard Wayne who has caused a sensation in the waters of Cordo is sure to catch their attention.
What's more, Captain Henrik, who had also killed the Black Pearl before.
But it was the guest's choice whether to go or not, and he had done his duty as an innkeeper.
The rest is waiting to see the play the next day!
After bidding farewell to the innkeeper, Wayne carried the dawn lantern and walked nonchalantly towards the Black Pearl station in the center of the city-state.
Although it was already 9 p.m., most of the shops were still open.
Except for the Baskabiru Hotel near the trading area, there are not many people coming and going, and the rest of the shops, such as mechanical weapons and equipment shops, potion shops, etc., are frequented by many people.
"Two bottles of healing potion, no, just one bottle, and help me get a bottle of antidote......"
"Boss Zamo, can you give it a discount? Hardware pounds are too expensive, four gold pounds and five shillings is a good price, how about it? β
"Have the money to go to the tavern to drink and sleep with the girl, but don't have the money to buy life-saving potion?"
"Hey......
The sea is treacherous, and most of the gold pounds looted by the pirates are used for enjoyment.
Let them go to the tavern to spend, and nine out of ten will raise their limbs in agreement, but if they are allowed to spend their money on other things, it is worse than killing them.
In contrast, those who were born in the aristocracy and had extraordinary bloodlines were even more desperate.
Wayne's spiritual perception was always on, scanning the shops one by one, focusing on the Jimenez ship repair shop.
He was mindful of the model of the sailboat that caught Tina's attention, and he wanted to know where it came from.
ββ¦β¦ Boss, Wizard Wayne is coming this way. β
"Shut up! Hurry up and inform Tan Sri and ask him to open the rune circle! β
"So ......"
"Don't you know that wizards are very strong in spirit? Maybe ......"
Hearing this, Wayne already knew that there was indeed something wrong with this repair shop.
A model of a sailboat in the repair shop, a cult of desire that arrived early......
What about the others?
Wayne wondered how much the Captain of Ales had prepared on the island in order to obtain the source of calamity in Tina's body.
"Wizard Wayne?"
"Huh?"
Seeing Fried Jimenez who took the initiative to greet him, although he was a little surprised in his heart, Wayne's face was still calm, and he chuckled: "Good evening, Mr. Fried." β
"Good night, Wizard Wayne."
Fried came up enthusiastically and saluted, "It's really you, I just saw it from upstairs, and I thought it was someone else." Are you here to inquire about the progress of the Leonard's repairs? β
"Not really," Wayne said, pointing to the pirate colony in front of him, "I just got an invitation to the Colosseum, and I want to go over and have a look." β
Fried's heart was relieved, "Gladiatorial fighting? Is it the one organized by 'One-Eyed' Adolad Walls? You're going to be a little late now. β
He had just stood at the window and looked out of the window and saw Wayne, who looked calm as if he was lounging, he was already praying.
Pray that the young wizard didn't come to find him, and that there was no problem with the model sailboat!
Now it seems that the alarm can be lifted!
"It's okay, I'm just going to join in the fun."
"It's really lively there, but it's a pity that I still have something to do right now, otherwise I'd go over with you to watch the gladiatorial show."
"Really? Then next time there will be a chance together. β
"No problem...... Fried smiled stiffly, and said with a dry smile: "It's not early, I won't bother you to go to the gladiatorial arena, see you next time." β
"Goodbye."
With that, Wayne nodded at him and walked straight through the repair shop to the inside.
This time, he didn't make a move on Fried, so as not to startle the snake.
According to what is known, it is clear that Ales already knows that he is on Alexei Island, and has made various arrangements waiting for him.
It is equivalent to saying that he is in the light and the enemy is in the dark, but they do not know that he will be prepared.
Therefore, he does not plan to shoot the opponent's arrangement now.
Instead, they are going to investigate secretly, and then make corresponding arrangements one by one.
Wait until Ales shows up β it's going to be a pleasant surprise!

Oh?
Murderous intent storage?
The Twilight Sect is also set up on Alexei Island?
At the time of this prompt, Wayne had just passed through a pirate colony station.
He glanced around, and his eyes fell on the pirate group behind him, "Golden Dis ......"
It turned out to be them!
The last time the female captain of the Golden Dis came over, she was accompanied by several secret monks of the Dusk Sect.
It seems that the connection between that pirate group and the Twilight Sect is even closer than expected, and even such a temporary station has a murderous intent storage arrangement.
Wayne thought for a few seconds, then turned and continued walking towards the center of the city-state.
The Cult of Twilight can't be solved by dealing with the garrison of a pirate group......
It didn't take long for him to come to the small building where Mitra was, and the little maid was not there?
Wayne pondered for a few seconds, and his consciousness sank into his mind, reaching into the purple ball of origin light.
You have to laugh, you have to laugh a little more.
Honatan, the bastard, actually took me to the box......
Don't you know that there are still "one-eyed" and "beautiful hands" here?
This was definitely not Honatan's idea!
So, are the other two bastards aware of me? Or did they discover Honatan's anomaly?
"Huh?"
Faintly hearing Mitra's heart, Wayne frowned slightly.
Didn't she already refuse Honatan's invitation to go to the gladiatorial arena?
Why is it there now?
Thinking of this, Wayne quickened his pace, quickly left the garrison area, and then walked through an empty square to the center of the city-state.
When I looked up, I saw that the majestic gladiatorial arena stood in the night, and the rough rock faΓ§ade was full of deep marks.
Huge torches were planted in the walls, and the flames jumped, casting a bright light to illuminate the surroundings, making the outline of the colosseum even more vivid in the night.
"Stop there and show the invitation!"
At the entrance, several pirates who were talking excitedly saw someone coming, and their smiles instantly retracted.
Wayne took out the invitation and handed it over, looking at them calmly.
Compared to the people guarding outside the high walls, these pirates in front of them are much stronger in terms of their clothing and the origin power in their bodies.
The pirate in the lead also observed Wayne, thought for a moment, and recognized his identity with a look on his face.
"You're not from the Baskabiru family, how can you get their invitation?"
"Just lived there, he gave it away."
Wayne asked rhetorically, "Isn't it that the people of the Baskabiru family can't enter the gladiatorial arena with this invitation?" β
"Others can," the pirate glared, "but why did you, the man who killed Captain Henrik of the Storm Hunter, come here?" β
"Of course I'm here to watch the gladiatorial fight." Wayne spread his hands.
Several pirates looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the pirate at the head stretched out his hand, "You can go in, you have to pay an entrance fee of five thousand gold pounds." β
Wayne was stunned, "Five thousand? Gold pounds? Is this specifically for me, or does it mean that everyone has to pay the entrance fee? β
There were so many spectators in the gladiatorial arena, and if everyone paid 5,000 gold pounds, the "one-eyed" would make money on this night alone.
"Pay if you want to go in!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Wayne looked at them with a smile, and his heart had activated the talent for deception.
"Of course you have to go in, and the money must come out."
As he spoke, he shrouded the strange spiritual power over several people and took out five ...... A penny coin.
"Here you go."
The pirate at the head took the five coins and looked at them, muttering suspiciously, "When did the five thousand gold pounds become lighter?" β
"Just now, it was ordered by the Pope of the Dawn Church, in order to save production costs."
The pirate glared at him, as if to blame him for being too talkative, and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, you can go in quickly." β
"Thank you."
Wayne smiled and walked around the group and entered the huge entrance to the arena.
After doing it for a long time, it is the same with or without an invitation, and in the end it still has to be solved by relying on the talent of fraud.
Passing through a large archway, there is a dark and deep corridor in front of you.
The corridor is flanked by two rows of armoured statues, armed with spears, as if they were real warriors.
Faintly, Wayne could hear bursts of laughter and curses coming from the end of the corridor.
"Damn, what a pirate hunter, he was shattered by that monster at the touch of it, pay Lao Tzu's gold pounds!"
"Damn, I'm still crushing that unlucky guy in the second game, don't die!"
Several pirates who were standing at the end of the corridor, scolding and smoking cigarettes, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw Wayne, who had just arrived at this time.
"Only at this time?"
Wayne glanced at him and explained calmly, "Something is delayed. β
As he spoke, he bypassed a few people.
"You know him?"
"I don't know...... Something ...... familiar."
Ignoring the conversation of the pirates behind him, Wayne walked straight out of the corridor and into the arena.
The first thing that catches your eye is a huge chandelier hanging high in the center of the arena, which illuminates the arena as if it were daylight.
Then there was the packed crowd and the huge gladiatorial arena beneath the chandelier!
"Captain, you're here to watch the gladiatorial fight?"
