The huge castle was built against the mountain, which was also crystal white and as bright as a spar.

From a distance, it looks like a majestic structure carved out of the hedron mountain that has been carved in half of the mountain.

The castle's façade is even more eye-catching, polished and smooth, and at the same time sparkling in the sunlight, with a fairy-tale color.

In front of the castle, a stone paved road made of bluestone, smooth and straight, slopes 45 degrees directly along the mountain from the foot of the mountain. Strangely enough, it has no steps, and it still goes straight up.

Domitri walked up without saying a word, and despite the slope and no steps of the bluestone road beneath his feet, his figure was still straight, and he did not bend a minute.

Behind him were the two remaining co-captains of the Aranika, the second mate "Strange Doctor" Nicholas Pasto and the third mate "Sea Beast" Woodward Ryder Giraldo.

Farther away are the pirates who followed the Alanika to ambush the Bekli.

Compared to Nicholas and Woodward, the faces of these pirates who followed Domitri were a little heavy at the moment.

They all knew that if the mission failed this time, they would be punished according to the rules of the Aranika......

Although the punishment fell more on the first mate, Domitri, for the pirates who had been rampaging the Sea of Cordor for many years, the boss was damaged, and their faces were even more gloomy.

"Domiteri, Boss Suyad is in a bad mood, I hope you can escape this disaster safely."

Nicholas's voice was low, just enough to be heard by the 'ripper' in front.

"Then thank you for the reminder, if you are not punished this time, I will definitely propose to the boss that you take the position of first mate."

Domitri was unmoved, and said coldly: "Or, if the third mate also wants to compete, I will report it to the boss." ”

"I don't have to."

Woodward's figure was extremely large, with a thick fat accumulation under the crowded armor, and a few pieces of fat were exposed in the gaps, covered with dark blue fine scales and hideous scars.

He glanced at Nicholas next to him and said with a smile: "Even if the first mate is punished this time, there is still a second mate above." ”

"Or can you kill me too?" Nicholas said gloomily.

Compared to Domitry and Woodward, "Doctor Strange" Nicholas Pastto is much thinner, wearing a pure white coat, and turning two palm-sized sharp knives in his hands from time to time when he walks.

His appearance can be attributed to handsome, but his expression is extremely gloomy, so that it gives people a very difficult feeling.

Domitri ignored the two behind him, thinking about how he would talk to Suyad about the attack on Blackjack and the others.

He knew in his heart that the rules of the Aranika were so strict that even if he was the first mate, he would not be treated preferentially.

A task is a task, and the consequences of a failed mission are inevitably punishment.

Correspondingly, if the mission is successful, he will get more benefits, such as going to the Forbidden Sea, Era Relics, and even Forbidden Items.

The Aranika, or Suyad, was generous about it.

It's just - stern, but not the slightest bit of human affection!

Inside and outside the city gates and even on the city walls, the pirates in standard armor looked solemn, even when they saw a few deputy captains, these people were still unmoved, and the indifference and emptiness in their eyes were like a corpse with an undead.

The Domitri, unchanged, leads people through the thick walls and into the castle's vestibule, bypassing the small fountains and the tall statues facing the gates.

It was a very ancient stone carving, with tiny holes that seemed to have been washed by rain for many years, and the face was very unclear, the bridge of the nose and eyes were damaged, and the beard at the chin was vaguely recognizable as a rugged man.

He wore a cloak sewn from animal skin, a scimitar and a peculiarly shaped spear around his waist, dressed as a pirate.

At the foot of the foot is a stone tablet with half missing, and from the few words left, you can see a few large characters - "Thunder Giant" Ibrama Delgado.

This is a name familiar to almost all pirates who sail to sea, and the legendary pirate who formulated the rules of piracy after the new calendar!

Domitri and the others bypassed the statue and entered the interior of the castle.

The hall is very transparent and bright, and the sunlight is filtered by the spars on the exterior wall, giving off a soft light, making it more peaceful and warm.

The pattern on the carpet is not the blue or black that pirates commonly use, but the natural green, with a pink pattern in the middle, which looks fresh.

Wall lamps hang on the surrounding walls, but they are not lit.

In the middle, next to the spiral staircase, stood two ornaments, one with a pale abyssal skull, and the other with a rusty broken sword.

"My lords, please come with me, the captain is already waiting for you."

A young man in a light black dress stepped forward without slowness, stopped Domitri and the others, glanced around, and turned to lead the way.

Domit's face remained unchanged, not caring about his attitude, and followed.

"Strange doctor" Nicholas Pastto pursed his lips slightly, his cold face with a little displeasure.

Woodward was still smiling, his fat eyes peeking out of the gaps, and his black eyes flickered.

The pirates behind them looked at each other, and they all recognized the identity of the young man in front of them, and they felt even more chilling in their hearts.

"Why did he come back?"

"Damn, this is a ...... problem"

"It's all so pessimistic, perhaps, there will be bigger moves in the future."

"Maybe ......"

After a while, Domitri and the others followed the young man to a terrace in the side tower of the castle, where a man was already standing and staring into the distance.

"Captain."

"Boss."

“……”

The pirates saluted respectfully, not aristocratic etiquette, nor the way pirates greeted each other during their voyages, but a very old pirate etiquette - circumcision, which is recorded in the law of pirates.

Everyone pulled out the mist they had brought with them, made a cut in their fingers, and dripped blood on the carpet on the terrace, and the bits of blood red seemed to be absorbed, blending into the pink lines.

Even the young man was no exception.

"I'm back,"

The man half-turned to look at Domitri, his black hair tied back in a ponytail, his feminine face expressionless, his narrow eyes reflecting the pirates.

His figure is not much different from that of the "Strange Doctor", wearing a sky-blue gown, with gold patterns embroidered on his chest to resemble a dhow, flanked by a storm tornado and a golden crescent moon, which looks very intentional composition.

"My dear first mate, have you figured out why this operation failed?"

Forehead.

A cold sweat broke out on Domitri's forehead, but he didn't expect the captain to be so direct, to open with a kind of indifference he had never felt before.

Although he knew that this mission was important, to deal with Blackjack and the others, and the subsequent battle with the Black Pearl would be beneficial to the people of the Alanika, but-

"It's the 'plague doctor', boss." Domitri couldn't think of a person to mention, so he could only blame Euan for the failure, "You know him, he was rampant in the waters of Cordo more than ten years ago, and I didn't expect him to appear on the Whitex this time." ”

"Not only did he use the plague to eliminate all the aberrations of the deep sea that were driven away, but he also killed the gravediggers of the Sect of Twilight through the storm."

"'Epidemic doctor'......" Su Yade's black pupils flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Euan Morris, I really haven't heard this name for a long time." ”

"You say he killed the gravedigger? Did you see that battle? ”

"I'm ......" Domitri hesitated and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I was fighting Blackjack at the time, and I could only sense the riot of elemental energy in the area at the center of the storm. ”

"I just didn't see it clearly." The smile on the corner of Suyad's mouth became even bigger, and he continued to ask, "What about the others?" ”

"Its, other ......"

Domitri had a bad heart, and his face showed a little bitterness, and said: "In addition, in addition to the 'plague doctor', there are also some very unique firearms on the Bekli, and the bullets fired are attached to a special origin characteristic. ”

"Special? How special is it? ”

"It's a lot like a death trait."

"Death?" Su Yade frowned slightly, and turned to look at him, "Are you sure?" ”

"No, not sure, but we brought back their bodies, but we can be more sure."

Domitri hurriedly motioned to the pirates behind him, "Boss, you know mine, let's, let me fight, these things like detection are not what I'm good at." ”

With his greeting, the other pirates did not dare to slack off, and directly took out the hundreds of pirate corpses from the spatial ring and piled them up in the center of the terrace.

For a moment, the strong smell of blood mixed with a unique stench spread.

The appearance of those corpses was even more terrifying, almost none of them could be recognized as they were, pustules were all over the body, and pus was still flowing out of the ruptures.

And where there are no pustules, there is an even stranger withering, like the traces of time passing on it, the flesh is gone, the skin is chapped and pale hanging on the fragile bones, looking very old.

Su Yad frowned, looked at the corpses carefully, and beckoned the young man next to him to step forward, "Serhi, lift the ones on top." ”

"Yes."

The young man took a few steps forward, his arm strangely stretched into the pile of corpses, and tied up several corpses on top and set them aside.

At the same time, the palm of the arm cracked, and a mouth full of fangs appeared, and between the opening and closing of the mouth, the slender tongue stretched out, licking a few drops of pus, and inhaling it agitated, as if judging something.

"It's really a death trait......"

Su Yad didn't care about the young man's actions, looking at the marks on those corpses, a slight inexplicable smile appeared on his face:

"Serhi, what do you say?"

"It's a death trait," Serhi said coldly, "but it's too rare to extract and absorb further." ”

The surrounding pirates watched the two of them move, their eyes puzzled, and they didn't know what they wanted to do.

Only the three co-captains, including Domitri, who had been with Suad for a long time, guessed something, but they were equally silent.

Receiving an affirmative answer, Suad looked at Domitri and showed a rare smile: "You just said that it was a bullet fired by a firearm?" ”

"Yes, Boss."

Seeing this, Domitri breathed a sigh of relief, at least the punishment might be less.

"Activate our intelligence officers inside the Black Pearl and let them do their best to find out the origin of those firearms!"

"Yes!"

"Is there anything else besides these two?"

"No, uh-huh......" Domitri hesitated as he remembered the figure he had seen before fleeing.

"How?"

"No, one more thing," said Domitri, in a somewhat uncertain tone, "I saw the Sea Tribes of the Forbidden Sea on the Bekli, much like the Manatee Clansmen. ”

"Manatee?" Su Yade was stunned, and his heart was even more surprised, "Are you sure you're right?" ”

"I'm not sure."

Domitri smiled bitterly and replied, "I was turning the bow of the ship and fleeing...... Leaving, I only saw two people who didn't look like pirates tearing through the space, and some of the people they brought were very much in line with the characteristics of the manatees. ”

"That's ......"

Suyad did not doubt Domitri's words, and the man who dared to lie to him on the Aranika would have long since sunk into the deep sea to feed the fish.

It's just that the manatee ...... How did those people get together with the people of the Black Pearl?

"Boss, I remember a few years ago that the bastard of Isabello went to several forbidden seas where the Sea Clan was,"

At this time, the young pirate Serhi said, "Is it because of the relationship this has established with them?" ”

"Isabello...... Unlikely! Suyad shook his head, "From what I know about him, he wouldn't do such a thing, if it was Blackjack, that bastard would still be possible." ”

"When he was still on the White Rose, he often befriended some pirate groups, and in this regard, even the 'plague doctor' couldn't compare to him."

"It's just that the bastard of the 'plague doctor' was respected by many pirates when he was rampant on the sea by virtue of his status as a wizard of the Psychic School......"

Speaking of this, Su Yad paused, as if he sensed that he was far away, and his face was grim.

"Well, since there are other factors affecting this matter, the punishment will be waived. But Domitri, the Twilight sect needs an explanation, and you can say it when the time comes. ”

"Yes!" Domitri smiled bitterly, he didn't want to touch those weird guys more than the punishment of the Aranika.

"There's one more thing."

Suad is not a person who cares about the thoughts of his subordinates, he only arranges and orders.

"The bow of the ship appeared in the sea, it should be near Alexei Island. Nicholas, take your men and take that taboo object down. ”

"Yes, Boss!" 'Strange Doctor' Nikolas' face was overjoyed.

"You know what to do," Suad looked him straight in the eye, "whatever you do, keep that taboo away from the waters of Cordor!" ”

"Understood."

"Finally, it's the Black Pearl......"

Suyad glanced around, and his gaze fell on Wardwood, "'Sea Beast', you've been idle for a long time, it's time to go out and do something." ”

"Boss, what do you want me to do?" Wardwood's body shook, and his face also showed a touch of excitement, and he sneered: "Do you need me to go to Awad Island, Blackjack and those people should still be there." ”

Domitri: "......"

Damn, if it weren't for the captain, he would have wanted to hammer the three mates to death by now.

And Su Yade couldn't help but smile dumbly, waved his hand and said: "Don't make any more moves against him, with the 'epidemic doctor' here, the Bai Keli is no longer so easy to deal with." ”

"You have only one mission, to kill as many other small and medium-sized pirate groups as possible, especially the strong ones, the Alexe and the Salomon."

"Huh?" Wardwood was a little disappointed, but nodded and continued: "I'll leave later, and make sure they don't come back." ”

"Well, remember to take a gravedigger with you when you set out, and for the time being, we will maintain our alliance with the Twilight Sect."

"Understood."

Several people knew in their hearts that although they did not want to meet the strange people of the Twilight Sect, if they wanted to deal with the Black Pearl, they had to rely on their strength.

"Alright, let's go and get busy."

After saying that, Su Yad waved his hand and asked them to clean up the ground, and walked straight out.

When the pirates saw this, their faces were overjoyed, and they were not punished, which was a blessing in misfortune.

Domitri also breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the other side and said, "Serhi, what do you think about the death characteristic?" ”

"Do as the captain asks!"

Serhi glanced at him and dodged away.

"Then I'm going too." Wardwood said with a smile, turned around and walked out, "First mate, if the opportunity is right, I will take action to deal with Blackjack and them, and I will definitely avenge you." ”

"Seconded."

Nicholas chimed in, and went out with his front and back feet.

Click!

Looking at their backs, Domitri clenched his fists, cursed the bastards, and looked at the other pirates.

"Time is running out, after packing up, let's go back and prepare as soon as possible."

"Yes, Boss!"

……

……

Theater space, inside the studio.

Dealing with Ales and the others, Wayne couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart.

This meant that he could put an end to that part of his life in the city-state of Custer, but it was only the end of that night's events.

He did not forget the others, Lacey, Marko, Yegor and others, and he was occasionally willing to recall.

In the same way, he didn't forget Carly......

Although Carly was not kind to him that night, he will not forget the kindness of her when he first came into this world, and almost soothed his anxiety about the future.

Fear and loneliness are relative, just like he is much stronger now than before, but he still feels scared, afraid of the unknown.

That's why he maintains his desire to improve his strength-

"September 28, 1578 New Calendar, Sea of Kordo, Alexei Island......"

Instead of rushing to study the Origin Fusion Method, Wayne took out a piece of parchment and recorded in detail the entire process of the Ales incident, including the personnel of the Shadow School, the Abyss Sect, the Desire Sect, and the Calamity Sect.

At the same time, the projection of the Lord of the Abyss appeared, as well as the battle of Salvatore.

The reason why he recorded the information in such detail was that he knew that the shadow intelligence officer on the island, Xia Di, would not hide anything.

With this information supplement from him, the school side can understand the beginning and end of the matter more clearly.

After writing it, Wayne activated the blue and white box and passed this information directly to Director Armitage, which was considered to complete the task he had previously assigned about the identity of the head of the Shadow Intelligence Group.

Not only that, but at the end of the letter, he asked about the progress of events in the Occult School.

If the matter of the Occult School can be resolved, he can make a trade request for the spatial teleportation spell rune with the other side.

Wayne knew very well that the defects in the spell runes of other wizarding schools must not have been repaired yet, and the few rune defects in his hands still had a certain value.

Coupled with the equal contract with the Spiritual Secret School, I believe that the other side will not refuse his deal.

Buzz –

"Huh?"

Wayne watched the black trophy vibrate, but he didn't expect Director Armitage to be in such a hurry and choose to directly establish a connecting channel.

"Grand Wizard Wayne Lovet, Internal Number 2348, Director Armitage Fried has requested a passage with you, do you agree?"

"Agreed."

What did Salvatore call the speaker of this liaison last time?

Annette......

I don't know what kind of wizard he/she is, so that the legend of Salvatore can take the initiative to call out his name, I don't think the ghost will be an ordinary wizard.

Not long after, in the illusory screen formed by the gray mist, Armitage appeared with a grin, and after seeing that Wayne was alone, he smiled and asked:

"The Salvatore legend is not with you?"

"Well, he's at Shady's now."

Wei En's heart said that the werewolf director's face, why is it familiar?

Oh, Triangle Eye did the same to him before.

"That's right," Armitage coughed and muttered for a moment before reorganizing his words and saying, "I have read the information you reported, and it is much more detailed than that reported by Chardy. ”

"According to the rules of the Intelligence Division, the level of similar intelligence is not low, and I will pass on your share of the intelligence fee later."

"Hmm."

Wayne didn't pay much attention to it, since he received a large number of project rewards from the research center, plus the income from the sale of the [Burst Sniper Rifle], he was not short of gold pounds for the time being.

There aren't even many places where he can spend gold pounds now.

"Also, the information you just asked about the Occult School...... Unfortunately, the matter over there has not been resolved. ”

"Oh?"

Armitage pondered his words and said, "According to the investigation of the intelligence officer over there, the entire Spiritual Sect has disappeared, and combined with the situation you passed on last time, they should have been swept into a special space. ”

"Special space?" Wayne was stunned, he thought it was the blockade of the rune array, but he didn't expect it to be more serious than that.

No wonder the little messenger couldn't get the letter to ......

"It can't be ruled out that it's a taboo, or a god has descended." Armitage looked much more serious, "I can't answer your question without further information. ”

Contraindications......

What kind of taboo can envelop the entire area of the Occult School?

That's got to be ......

Well?!

Wayne's face changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of the complete information about a forbidden object given by the panel earlier, the one that had been probing his location before—the Forbidden Item 0-38 True Clock.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

If that was the taboo, his previous speculation about the Church of Dawn and the Cult of Twilight locking his place was wrong.

It's just that, apart from dawn and dusk, who pays so much attention to him?

It's not going to deal with the Occult School......

"In addition to that, I want to tell you a piece of news."

"You say."

"The School is secretly dealing with some of the aberrations within, including a researcher at your institute."

Aberration wizards?

Wayne frowned, it's a secret magician, right?

The institute where he works ...... Apart from Teresa, only Escobar and Krissta remained......

"Who is it?"

"Krista Kanava!" Armitage didn't go around the bush and said bluntly: "Originally, Dean Josue should have told you about such a thing, but now that the situation is urgent, I will talk to you in advance to avoid undue emotions in your research institute." ”

"She's the 'Devourer'?" Wayne frowned.

"You know?" Armitage was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he said: "Did the Salvatore legend tell you?" ”

"Yes, it's just that I didn't expect Krista to be a 'Devourer' as well."

"Strictly speaking, she doesn't count, it's just that her teacher, Billel Machado, is sure to be the 'Devourer' and she is implicated," Armitage explained. ”

"If after the follow-up investigation, it is determined that she has not devoured other occult wizards, she will be released."

"I know, if the institute asks, I'll appease them first." Wayne nodded, hoping that she was okay, or he would have to find another researcher to fill the vacancy.

Christa...... At least it's been a pretty good time.

"That's fine."

Armitage looked at Wayne on the illusory screen and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that this young wizard, who was said to have just been promoted to the rank of Great Wizard, would be dissatisfied with the school's approach.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, he is not the kind of person who is very domineering.

No, or is it that he will only treat his enemies with indifference?

"I'm going to inform the others, let's do this for now."

"Goodbye."

As he spoke, the two disconnected the communication channel.

As the gray fog cleared, Wayne sat down at the workbench, frowning slightly.

I don't know what Teresa and the others will think when they learn about these things, but for him personally, the "devourers" inside the ghost are hidden dangers, and it is a good thing to solve them.

Under such a premise, even if Christa is only a suspect now, he will fully support the school's approach.

I only hope that Teresa and the others will not act drastically......

After thinking for a moment, Wayne still took up the pen and wrote a letter and passed it back to the institute through the blue and white box, only saying that he wanted them to cooperate with the school, but did not tell the reason.

It is worth mentioning that after the end of the call, Armitage sent over the intelligence fee, a total of 500 gold pounds...... A huge sum of money......

This made Wayne even more emotional, and he was quite moved by his unbearable days in the city-state of Custer.

If the predecessor knew that this was the case, I am afraid that he would crawl out of the undead world in anger, right?

After receiving the reply letter from Teresa and the others, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief.

After dealing with Ales, he will spend the rest of his time preparing for those people of the Twilight Sect, on the one hand, to improve his strength, and on the other hand, to arrange Alexei Island as a backhand.

Therefore, he very much did not want to see chaos on the research side—not at all!

With that in mind, Wayne took out the Codex that Salvatore Legend had given him and flipped through it.

After this battle, he understood one thing.

That is, after reaching the legendary stage, they compete in the strength of the origin - the degree of fusion of the origin fusion body or talent or spell brand.

Like Salvatore, with his powerful Origin Strength, he can defeat five with one.

If it weren't for the presence of the Abyss Master in the middle, perhaps he would have been able to kill Mubarak and other legends directly.

The key to this is that his origin is a fusion of natural power and spell imprints.

But there is one thing that Wayne is not very clear - the promotion of the Great Wizard to the Legend is the spell imprint on the fusion of the Origin Descendant, so what is the promotion of the Legend to Demigod?

It can't just be pure source power, right?

Perhaps, it is the original qualitative force?

The more you think about it, the more likely it is that the origin of the gods is relatively high, just like the dawn origin and the red moon origin that they first encountered.

The power of the origin of the gods of different qualities is also different......

"The speed of the Origin Fusion Spell Brand is related to the level of the spell rune brand, the complexity of the rune, and its own origin quality......

"With the help of the Origin Descendants, they can fuse themselves. This point, after reaching the Great Wizard stage or after the Ghost Meditation Method is upgraded to level five, the Origin Descendant can do ......"

Seeing the record on the codex, Wayne couldn't help but look up at the ghosts, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Did you hear that?" You can choose to fuse the Origin into the Spell Brand...... Well? ”

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the place where the origin core was located in his mind was sucked out.

But that's not the point, the key is that this source was split into four after leaving the body, and it fell on the four descendants of the ghost, the driver, the red ghost, and the secret master at the same time.

"This ......"

Only then did Wayne remember, what did he just say "you"?

"You're welcome......

The ghost smiled, his red pupils flickered faintly, and an origin fell into his head and was slowly sucked into one of the rune imprints - Soul Devouring Spell!

"Baba, we believe in your strength, enough to support you."

"I don't want to be left behind by the ghosts." The driver grinned, opting to fuse the Heart of Machines rune brand.

"I should have been fused to the Origin." The red ghost looked like it should be, and directly pulled the origin into the flesh and blood heart rune brand.

Only the Secret Master was silent, quietly integrating the origin into the flickering spell.

“……”

Wayne was dumbfounded, although he had decided to try to fuse the four Origin Descendants, but at the beginning, he didn't plan to do so.

The devil knows how slow it is to merge like this-

"How long does it take to fuse all the spell imprints...... Or rather, how many origins are needed? ”

"The Soul Devouring Spell Rune Brand will occupy a thousand origins, and it will take eighty days to fuse." The ghost was the first to speak.

"The Heart of Machines, twenty days, needs to occupy three hundred origins."

"The heart of flesh and blood, fifty days, needs five hundred origins."

"Flickering, fifteen days, two hundred origins."

Not the same?

Wayne frowned, is this the so-called difference in the fusion progress of different spell imprints and the occupation of the origin?

In this way, it may take half a year to a year to complete the fusion of all the spells.

This does not include subsequent spell level increases, as well as spell branding added to new learning.

In addition, there is the need for origin occupation, and these four rune imprints alone will occupy two thousand origin ......

To put it simply, if he wanted to fuse all the spell imprints, his origin power would have to reach at least 20,000 before he could ......

It's no wonder that no great wizard in the past has been able to do it-

With such harsh conditions, how many arcane wizards have to be devoured?

Two thousand or three thousand?

The entire Ghost School may not have so many arcane wizards!

Thinking of this, Wayne sighed, he had already expected that the coming days would be full of blood......

Only by killing can you reach the top!

PS: Today's state has recovered a lot, and there is a chapter of explosion!
