The reason why Wayne tested it this way was that he had a better understanding of talent when he fused the origin into the talent.

At first, it wasn't obvious, but as the progress bar reached 3/3000, he learned some of the secrets of the Fraud talent.

That is, when the two abilities of mind control and illusion creation are superimposed, different effects can be achieved according to the different supply of spiritual power.

And if it is a single ability, such as using only mind control, there is a certain chance of failure.

It doesn't matter how much spiritual power is invested, or even how much spiritual power the target has, it doesn't matter much.

Wayne looked at the four intruders who were still under the control of the deceptive talent, thought for a few seconds, and waved his hand to let the ghosts swallow them.

He didn't quite understand why the effect of a single ability was not affected by mental strength and talent level, while the combination of several abilities could ......

Such a difference made him feel weird.

After researching for a while, Wayne did not find the reason for such a change.

"It seems that everything is back to square one."

If you want to find out his talent for fraud, you can only find a chance to return to the Eastern Continent.

With that in mind, Wayne left the dungeon and walked along the city-state avenue towards the high wall.

He hadn't forgotten what Pavra had asked him to buy a new covenant.

However, it is clear that it is very difficult to find a Dawn Believer on a pirate-controlled island like Alexei Island.

Just like the two Dawn Intelligence Officer infiltrators before, they didn't even have a gold pound on their bodies except for their clothes, let alone space equipment that could carry items.

Therefore, Wayne had to try his luck in the shop area and the trading area, and by the way, he also got acquainted with the situation of the city-state.

See if there's anything special there, hidden on the island.

Just like he did in the city-state of Caster, not only is there a ubiquitous killing intent lock, but there are also a lot of weird things hidden.

"The latest news, it is expected that in a week, Lord 'Pretty Hands' will announce the new rules for entering Alexei Island!"

"How long is it going to take?"

"Now it's not as empty as before, so many empty places on the island have come out, and the people from all the continents who have received the news have come."

"I've heard that even the Western Continent has sent many kingdoms to send nobles over, hoping to occupy a position on the island."

"Ho, aren't they afraid that the Aranika will cut off their fleet at sea?"

“……”

At this time, the number of people on Alexei Island gradually increased, and it became more lively, almost returning to before the appearance of the Lord of the Abyss.

However, most of them were people who heard the news of the re-recruitment of the island's shop area and garrison area.

Only a small number of people came here to rest temporarily.

Of course, they are more likely to patronize the tavern streets outside the high walls than to enter the city-state.

Although Wayne hasn't made many changes, if you want to enter the high wall, in addition to your identity, most of them have to pay two gold pounds to enter the city.

This is almost doubled.

In his opinion, most of the pirates did not have a capital to trade, and when they came to the island, they either went to the tavern street to spend it, or they entered the city-state.

And those nobles are even more so, and the families who can own merchant ships in the waters of Cordo do not lack this little bit of gold and pounds.

"Cordo Communiqué, News of the Day!"

"The Araniga and the Black Pearl have new moves, and the Cordor Gazette has issued a special warning not to appear near Awad Island and Metaru Island in the near future!"

Hearing the voice, Wayne bought a newspaper and read it.

"According to the latest news of this newspaper, the captain of the Alanika, Suyad, has announced his return. Not only did he recover from his injuries, but his strength also improved to the next level. ”

"It is reported that three months ago, Captain Suad challenged the 'Emperor of the Sea' Captain Isabello Clijsters in the waters near the Southern Continent. In that battle, both were seriously wounded. ”

"And now, Captain Suyad has returned, which has to make this newspaper wonder if the 'Emperor of the Sea' is hiding on the island of Wojciech because of his injuries."

At the same time, the Black Pearl's first mate, Blackjack, had also arrived on Awad Island. The island's major pirate groups have evacuated, including another large pirate group in the Cordor Seas, the Golden Dis......"

Golden Dish.

Wayne frowned slightly, this name, he knew.

And because of Ronan's relationship before, the other party also sent a female captain to hunt him down.

Not only that, but she also brought several Dusk Secret Monks with her......

"The Golden Diess has grown rapidly recently, with the overall number of personnel expanding from 300 two months ago to 800. Among them are some well-known pirates. ”

"For example, 'Iron General' Sangrad Maimaiti, 'The Craftsman' Laron Hodgson, 'Aberrant Blacksmith', ......etc.

"If the Golden Dis and the Aranika join forces, the advantage of the Black Pearl is likely to disappear in an instant, and the entire Cordor Sea may usher in a new era......"

Joining forces?

Wayne knew that what the newspaper said was 100 percent possible.

With the Cult of Twilight standing behind them, those two pirate groups were naturally allies.

In this way, the situation faced by the Black Pearl is even more serious than he imagined.

No wonder Blackjack was in such a hurry to order the [Burst Sniper Rifle].

It's just that Wayne thought of another question - that is, the "Emperor of the Sea" Captain Isabello Clijsters, would really be so easily seriously injured?

His instincts told him that there should be some kind of secret in this.

Perhaps, the Black Pearl still has a few hole cards hidden, and wants to wait for the chaos in the Cordo Sea before taking them out to solve the troubles at once.

Wayne read the newspaper and listened to the conversation of the pirates and nobles around him.

Not to mention, although doing so will always make his ears rattle, he can also hear some useful information.

"I don't know when the 'beautiful hands' are going to announce the new rules, I've been here for two days, and I haven't even gotten any news."

A middle-aged man in a delicate gown spoke in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

He was followed by several guards, whose identities were not difficult to discern from their guarded looks.

"My lord, it should be just a few days. I heard that the damaged places in the city-state have been repaired. ”

"And the 'Pretty Hands' and 'Killers' have also sent letters of explanation to various organizations on the island, and many of them have been forced to leave."

"This time, there are quite a few vacancies."

The middle-aged man glanced behind him and snorted, "A pirate actually occupies such an important transit island as Alexei Island, I really don't know what the people of the Storm Church are doing." ”

"They ......"

The guard in armor was speechless for a moment, and the matter of the Orthodox God Church was not something that an ordinary transcendent person like him could discuss.

The middle-aged man also knew that he was just complaining a few words, looked left and right, and whispered with a serious expression: "This time, no matter what, we have to get a shop for our Sawyer family!" ”

"My lord, do you think it's necessary to contact the ghost wizards on the island?" The guard asked cautiously.

"Ghosts?"

The middle-aged nobleman thought for a few seconds, looked at the black building in the middle of the store area, and frowned: "Don't make such plans for the time being." ”

"Yes......"

Dressed as an ordinary pirate, Wayne's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness when he heard the conversation not far away.

The Sawyer family?

Isn't that the family of the noble lady who was saved by Claire?

He remembered that Director Armitage had mentioned it so that he could take proper care of the noble lady named Vivian.

What a coincidence.

Wayne looked at the gang and silently remembered their appearance, and when the island began to recruit shops to settle in the family and forces, he could add them.

[You are targeted by Katrina Goras's killing intent.] Evaluation: A man who has been eroded by the source and is about to undergo distortion. Reward: +2 survival points. 】

【……】

[You have been scanned by Turgai Valencia's psychic perception. Evaluation: It is recommended to swallow him directly, after all, he is a weak chicken. Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

Along the way, the number of survival points on Wayne's panel continued to rise at a slight rate.

Although with his current strength, neither the killing intent nor the spiritual perception of these people posed a threat to him, he could still gain some survival points.

"Damn Ronan, you bastard aren't dead?"

"If you die, Lao Tzu won't die!"

"Hahahaha, how's it going? I heard that your current identity is not ordinary, with a new captain, or a big pirate? ”

"Don't say that, our captain heard, watch your head."

"I'm wrong, it's Captain Wayne Lovet, the 'Wizard of Aberration', not a great pirate."

"Count ......"

Wayne was stunned for a moment, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the trading area.

Ronan, triangular eyes?

Speaking of which, since the incident with Ales, he forgot to ask the Salvatore legend about Ronan.

Now, it's been released.

Wayne smiled in his heart, if it wasn't for the Salvatore legend hidden, I'm afraid that in the last incident, Ronan might also die under the projection erosion of the Lord of the Abyss, just like Herwin and them.

It's also a lucky person......

……

……

At the moment, Awad Island.

"How's the investigation going?" Blackjack asked, sitting on the top floor of the tower in the center of the island, staring at the ant-sized figure below.

"It's still investigating, not so fast."

Euan sat next to him, a newspaper in his hand, and looked at the beginning of the front page, which was the same one that Wayne was reading.

"The newspaper said that Suyad had announced his return."

"That bastard recovered fast enough." Blackjack looked a little serious.

"What about the 'Emperor of the Sea'?"

Euan was more concerned about Captain Isabello Clijsters than Suard, after all, he still needed the Emperor to solve Carly's troubles for him.

"It should be soon, the Hammer Girl has sent a message before, saying that the aura on that tower has recovered a lot, and the boss's injuries are fine."

"That's good, otherwise, as the newspaper said, the Black Pearl will face a lot of trouble this time."

Blackjack looked disdainful, "Except for the Aranika, the other pirates are just famous, and their strength is not strong. ”

"Especially Golden Dis, that guy is only relatively big......"

"Don't take it lightly, Jack." Euan shook his head, "Have you forgotten that in addition to the pirate group, there are also the Sect of Dusk?" ”

"Of course I didn't...... Well, but speaking of which, where did that bastard run to Menor? ”

"I don't know. But the young man he brought with him was still on the island, and he was still having a good time. ”

Yuan's spiritual perception has long covered the entire island of Awad, and similarly, he is not very worried about the safety of the island.

Especially right now, the relationship between the Aranika and the Black Pearl is becoming more and more strained.

"When the bastard got to the island, he vanished. I was thinking about discussing how to deal with the people of the Twilight Sect together, but now I ......," Blackjack said with some annoyance.

Youan raised his hand and interrupted: "I guess he should be going to contact the others, with his extraordinary characteristics, if he wants to return here, it will be easy, for the time being, let's solve the current problem first." ”

At the mention of this, Blackjack was even more angry and said indignantly:

"How to solve it? The Aranika arranged for intelligence officers to be as numerous as flies, and to hide like rats. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that they chose to take the initiative to expose it in order to investigate the origin of the [Burst Sniper Rifle], I really didn't know that there would be a person above the captain who would betray the Black Pearl!"

"It's also ......" You'an pondered for a moment and said, "Since those people are hiding and hibernating, we can only find a way to let them take the initiative to jump out." ”

"Oh? Do you have a way? ”

"Not yet, but I have a clue."

Blackjack: "......"

He looked down at Awad Island with a headache, and for the first time felt that the people of the Aranika had changed differently than before.

In the previous fight, everyone came with real knives and guns.

Instead of what it is now, intelligence officers are lurking, and there are all kinds of detection, sabotage, and even joining forces with other pirate groups......

Such an opponent is not a pirate at all!!

"Leave this matter to me," Youan got up when he saw him like this, and said, "Give me a little time, and I'll find them out!" ”

"Okay, but it doesn't matter if you can't find it, as long as they don't have any more messages to pass on."

"Got it......"

Looking at Euan's back, Black Jack was a little helpless.

He did not sit in the position of first mate because of his brain, but because of his outstanding strength.

But the current situation is obviously not something that can be solved by brute force alone, at least he needs the help of others!

Thinking of this, Blackjack took out a bloody ear and tore it hard.

"Shhh

"Contact me Wojciech, Hammergirl, come out and tell me what's next for Awad Island now!!"

"Shhh

The ear was shaking like it was leaking, and more blood was coming out......

"Hammer, hammer, ......"

"Call me that again, believe it or not, I'm on Awad Island right now!"

A female voice came, like a dragon roaring: "Black Jack First Mate!?" ”
