From the angle of Angel's fall into the water, you can see that the stern part of the "Black Tulip" before entering the bronze gate quickly collapsed, the rotting planks, masts, and white sails that became full of holes, and then the living corpses and skeletons that were originally chasing the "Azk Bronze Whistle" fell into the water like beans, stirring up continuous waves.

Bang –

The bronze gate slowly closes, and the figure of half of the Black Tulip and its owner, Admiral Ludwell, fades into the darkness.

The two pale flames looked at Angel outside the door in a daze, not angry because of the loss, nor hatred and war, but only indifferent to death.

The sea, reflecting the golden glow of the scorching sun, was calm for a moment.

Angel choked on two mouthfuls of salty water before she reluctantly transformed into a "Kraken" and gained the ability to move freely in the water, her spirituality was on the verge of drying up, and her vision began to blur, so she could only swim to the periphery to avoid the undead creatures who had lost control and began to spontaneously attack the nearest creatures.

The "Fishman Armpin" was lost in the battle, and Crane, who could only use a spell to gain the ability to breathe underwater, and Anderson, who was the first to jump into the water but lacked the ability to move, swam to this side.

Fortunately, the "Future" had already crossed the hull, revealing rows of guns on the side of the ship, and the pirates took their own aims, and one after another the blossom projectiles were fired into the boiling sea due to the undead commotion, turning living corpses into dead corpses and blasting skeletons that could float on their own into the bottom of the sea.

A little starlight fell, condensed into a transparent bridge, and landed in front of the three of them.

The blonde Anderson climbed the star bridge first, looked back at the messy sea, and shouted.

"Woohoo! We actually killed the Black Tulip, and that's the Admiral of Hell! ”

Looking back at the pirates who were looking at the side of the ship with their heads outstretched, he waved his left hand and took a step forward.

With a "plop", he stepped on the star bridge and fell into the water again in front of Angel, who had just stepped on the bridge.

"Be careful, the aura of the Mother Earth Goddess here will still affect the ...... of Future"

At this time, a reminder of the "star general" Gadelia came from afar.

Seeing Anderson in such a tragic situation, Angel and Klein cautiously stepped on the transparent bridge and walked up.

"My armnail fell on the ship, and I might be able to track down the 'Admiral of Hell' through it later......"

Walking side by side, Klein whispered, taking care to avoid Anderson, who had re-climbed the starbridge from behind.

"Can a boat with only half a boat still float on the water?"

Angel frowned and asked rhetorically.

The two looked at each other, neither of them giving any hope for this.

Before the hapless Anderson could catch up with them, the two made their way back to the deck of the Future along Starbridge, but strangely enough, there were no other surprises other than the one when the former stepped into the air.

The curse of bad luck on him is indeed manifested in every aspect...... Angel quietly moved away from the "unluckiest hunter", only to find that the pirates on the deck, including Nina, Frank, and Heath Doyle, who had devoured a black monster in the battle just now, and whose face was even whiter, had all gathered around, their eyes flashing and their faces strange.

How......

She chuckled inwardly, protected Anderson in front of her, and approached Klein, who was also dazed.

“…… Shipbreaker. ”

I don't know who took the lead and shouted.

"Shipbreaker!" "Angelica Thatch!"

The cheers grew louder, and the pirates, with long hair or unkempt heads, shouted one after another, but carefully left room for them, and did not rush forward, raising their targets and throwing them into the air in the manner they were accustomed to greeting heroes.

"And the crazy adventurer, Gelman Sparrow!"

Boatswain Nina added.

"Sparrow!" "The man who killed the 'black tulip' alone!"

Crane's move of dragging the "Hell Admiral" while everyone was busy dealing with the black monster was also recognized by everyone, and the bold pirates were no longer polite to this man, and they all gathered around, and quickly lifted Crane, who was wearing a crewneck shirt and wide-legged pants, and his cap had been sucked away by the bronze gate, and threw and caught it.

The latter rarely did not put on a cold face to reject them, but squinted his eyes and enjoyed the cheers of the crowd.

"And the 'Strongest Hunter' Anderson Hood!"

Hearing such an inopportune remark in the midst of the cheers, Klein couldn't help but open his eyes and look over there, and found that it was Anderson himself caught in the crowd and shouted, but found that no one responded, and closed his mouth stupidly.

You should be glad that most of them don't know that you're on a bad luck trail and have attracted so many enemies, otherwise they would have tied you to the stern of the boat with a rope and thrown into the sea as bait to lure the monsters...... Groaning, he felt the last trace of the "Faceling" potion in his body be completely digested as it kept leaving the deck and being caught by everyone's hands.

After a brief "Return of the Hero" event, the pirates quickly swept the deck of the "Future" at the behest of Gardelia, picked up the black monsters that had died under the poison, and threw them into the sea after being burned by the pirate general's golden brooch and releasing holy light.

I don't know if these dead monsters will be resurrected again under the breath of Mother Earth God and combined into bone giants, but the "Future" has already raised its sails and quickly left this sea area, so naturally it no longer thinks about this kind of long-term problem.

The only victim of the battle, the pirate who had been drained of blood by the runaway vines, was given a solemn funeral at sea, surrounded by all the crew members, and Nina, who was acting as the priest of the "Lord of the Storm", recited a prayer, burned into ashes, put them in jars, and handed them over to his designated family members after his return.

Even though most pirates and sailors like to talk about "giving everything to the sea", after death, not many people are willing to use the traditional sea burial method to let their companions stream their corpses into the sea, especially this strange relic of divine warfare, the corpse falls into the water, maybe next time you can see him on that kind of bone giant.

Listening to the whispered prayers beside him, watching the pirates who more or less believed in the Lord of the Storm punch their right fists to their left chest, Angel also silently drew a crimson moon in his heart.

……

The Future continued in the direction Anderson had pointed out, carefully navigating the perilous ruins and islands and digging deeper into the ruins of the Divine War.

With the exception of the Black Tulip, they did not encounter any ships or living people, and did not re-enter the sea where the spirit of the gods remained.

After alternating between night and noon twice, it came to April 15 according to the outside time, during which Crane used the "Tinder" glove he bought for 7,000 pounds to use the ability of the thief's way to "steal" the real creator inside the "Eyes of All Black" and "steal" it, so that the expensive magical items became polluted waste and were thrown into the gray fog space.

On the other hand, the "Eyes of All Black" have also been freed from contamination and have reverted back to the extraordinary properties of the pure "Secret Puppet Master", which can be made into real potions as long as they are put into containers with other auxiliary materials.

“…… And finally, the golden spring water of the island of Sunia......"

Pour the pale golden liquid into the iron pot and watch it fuse with the other ingredients, provoking different reactions and eventually turning into a dark golden liquid.

Poof, the extraordinary properties like black eyeballs slid into the liquid medicine along the edge of the pot, and countless bubbles appeared on the calm surface of the water, and drastic changes took place inside.

Ten seconds later, the liquid that had been dyed black returned to calm, and countless tiny insects swam rapidly inside, reminding Crane of the sewage that had bred the child.

With a stiff face and a simple divination with gold coins, he finally confirmed that it was a successful potion.

I'm going to drink this thing into my stomach later...... Even though he had drunk the potions four times, Crane couldn't accept it at times, so he carefully poured the potions into the metal bottles he had prepared in advance, stuffed them in his pockets, tidied up his room, and then returned to the deck.

Even if it was already early in the morning, the sky in this anomalous sea was still occupied by the midday sun, and the pirates on duty on the deck looked around vigilantly, but the melodious singing in their ears made their eyes flash from time to time.

It's a mermaid, and it's finally time for this moment...... Feeling a little agitated inside, he took a deep breath and reached his pocket again to make sure the potion was there.

Although there was Angel's reminder that Klein already knew that the "mysterious queen" Bernadette was on this ship and was ready accordingly, he was still apprehensive when he was fished by the other party with "Russell Notes" during the last night dream.

Even if he made a reasonable response, he didn't even look at the blank notebook inside, Klein was still recognized by the eldest daughter of Russell-

His identity as "Gelman Sparrow" actually came from the hands of the "Mysterious Queen"!

No matter how you hide it, you lose it from the start......

Of course, the same goes for Angel's "Angelica Thatch", I'm afraid that this pirate king has been paying attention to us for a few months, and this time it directly equates the two of us with the believers of the Fool, I am afraid that we will have to be very careful in the future...... There is also the "Star General", as Bernadette's former subordinate, she should have provided a lot of information in the middle, and she needs to be knocked and hammered at the tarot meeting......

Listening to the beautiful singing voices coming from all over his ears, countless evil thoughts flashed through his heart, and Crane felt that his expression was a little dazed.

The runes engraved on the deck suddenly lit up, forming a brilliant sea of stars, cutting off the seductive singing voices of the mermaids not far away, and allowing the pirates to return to normal.

I was affected by a mermaid just now?

Crane's head suddenly cleared up a little, and he suddenly looked up.

Dressed in black, Gadelia poked her head out of the window of the captain's quarters, saw that Crane was looking up, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

"The ship is ready, do you need me to accompany you?"

A soft voice from beside him soothed the last trace of violence in Crane's heart, and he looked sideways at Angel and shook his head.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself."

Angel gave him a worried look, and then got out of the way, watching Klein sit alone in the boat and be lowered into the water along the side of the boat.

The moment he left the protection of the "Future", his figure shook again, as if he was about to jump into the water, but quickly returned to normal, using a spell to attract a strong wind and push the ship closer to the reef in front of him.

"Toxin expert" Frank Lee leaned over at some point, put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and after a moment suddenly spoke:

"Don't worry, these mermaids generally don't hurt humans, but are very shy and hide when they see people."

"But rumor has it that they will lure sailors with their songs, make them jump into the sea themselves, and then eat them?"

To ease the anxiety, Angel asked rhetorically.

"So that's the rumor," Frank chuckled, as if he had stepped out of the shadow of his teammate's death, "the mermaid's song does tempt humans, but most of them are drowned, a few are killed by other otherworldly creatures, but the mermaids are all captured and kept in captivity, and only a few wild people live here." ”

It always feels like another sea legend has been shattered...... Angel pursed her lips and looked into the distance again, and found that as soon as Klein landed on the reef, the mermaids jumped into the sea in fright, burrowed to the bottom of the sea and disappeared, indeed as Frank said.

"By the way, the way you killed those black monsters yesterday is amazing, this bottle of poison was made by me separately, it strengthens the activity, and it can be stored in a sealed state for a long time, I think it may help you."

Remembering his purpose, the toxin expert took a thumb-sized glass vial from his pocket and handed it to Angel, who took it, looked into the sunlight, and found that it was different from the dark green liquid he had used yesterday, a dark yellow color.

Actually, I already remembered the toxin—she didn't say it, but smiled and thanked Frank for her kindness, and carefully put the glass bottle away.

The recipe for the "Despair" potion requires a poison as a secondary ingredient, and she can use this bottle just in time.

While the two were chatting, Crane had successfully ingested the potion to the singing of a few mermaids who didn't have time to run away, and then stood on the top of the reef in a daze, without movement, and without a furious, out-of-control performance.

The entire ship of pirates looked over there with concern, at the temporary teammate who had played a key role in yesterday's battle.

Feeling the gaze of everyone from afar, Crane slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was dark, and there was a spirit that had not yet been controlled and was still escaping.

In his sight, the mermaid in front of him, the seabed and the sky everywhere, and on the "Future" not far away, countless black lines stretched out and spread to infinity, as if pulling the doll's wire.

With the "All Black Eyes", he had a similar vision, but it wasn't as natural as it is now.

From now on, I am the "Master of Secret Puppets"......

Watching the lines pass through in front of his eyes, and quickly find the ones that belonged to Angel in them, Crane smiled and closed his eyes again.
