185. slow down! Gather!
I said it was a treasure, but in fact, it was something like a treasure.
[There is a curse on that hairpin.]
Beautifully crafted hairpins had the magical power of attracting people.
It wasn’t expressive.
“Isn’t that magic?”
[That’s right. It seems to have created a curse using magic.]
“What is the effect?”
[Stimulates possessiveness.]
Only then did Leone know the identity of that hairpin.
‘Does that look like the legendary hairpin?’
A legendary hairpin that was so beautiful that a family broke it.
‘Mariana’s hairpin? Why is that here?’
[I think it may have flowed into the sea.]
Looking at it this way, it seems useless, but the hairpin itself was endowed with good magic.
‘I remember it amplifying the beauty of the object.’
[It seems so. The magic circle of increasing attraction is confirmed.]
It seemed that this could be a gift to the queen who lent her troops.
In addition to that, various items were filled here.
‘Five! Isn’t this a berserker gauntlet?’
[you’re right. It is confirmed that berserk has been applied.]
‘Give me Kwon Seong or Philip. Or tear it apart and make it into a mass-produced product.’
In addition to artifacts, there were various objects.
‘Is this a one-hit, one-hit swordsmanship?’
One-hit death swordsmanship.
It looks like a great swordsmanship, but it was a rather unique skill. A skill that gives up defense and bets everything on a one-hit attack.
Thanks to this structure, the attack power was outstanding, but it had a fatal weakness that it would die if used.
‘great. Bixby. Get used to this.’
[All right!]
‘Hoo. Is this a magic stone bomb? I thought they weren’t producing anymore because the cost performance was so low?’
A magic stone bomb that engraves an explosion magic circle on a magic stone and detonates the whole magic stone.
The worst cost performance item that throws magic stones into the air.
Everything here was like this.
‘If you look at the advantages, it’s useful, but the problem is that the disadvantages are too fatal.’
This is why even the Pirate King could not easily use or sell this item.
It’s a waste to sell, and obscure to use. stuff like goosebumps.
‘of course. It doesn’t matter to me.’
There are plenty of ways to use this to offset the disadvantages. If you throw it in the lab, it will turn it into something useful.
‘Let’s sweep it up! google!’
[Gureuk!]
Google swallowed Lyon’s picks.
‘Don’t digest that!’
[nine… … Luck.]
Well, I thought this kind of warning would suffice.
‘Then, shall we check the truth?’
There was only one thing left to check. A request from the dark side.
I wondered what it was, but I quickly found it.
‘This is coming from here.’
Leon stared at it.
The item he was looking for in the dark side was none other than the ‘Piece of the Key to Hell’.
‘Then, shall we speed up?’
After taking out a mask from inside his arms and putting it on, Leon contacted Darkness.
After a short greeting, the two went straight to the main topic.
“Looks like it will take longer than I thought.”
＜ Huh. long? Isn’t it still very fast? Is the report I received wrong?＞
As the guy said, Black was doing his best to move. While operating the fleet, the speed was further increased.
However, in Leon’s view, this wasn’t fast.
“It was inefficient and slow. Having to find the pirates one by one, all sorts of variables will come out.”
＜Hmm. That’s right. It’s a part that you have to endure without any special since you’re going to find and subjugate them one by one.＞
subtrahend? Supervision did not suit Leon at all.
“I want you to gather the pirates.”
＜yes?＞
“I will move myself.”
If there is no way, you have to force it.
＜You sent the Bishop of Leone, and you’re moving yourself? how? You must be Killika now.＞
It is not too difficult to clear up this misunderstanding.
“I must praise the blade of dawn.”
＜yes?＞
“I am in the East Sea right now.”
＜… … You always surprise me. I’ll collect the pirates.＞
“Quickly, please. Killika cannot be left empty for long.”
＜It’s a request from Oren, so I’ll try my best. Haha.＞
That’s how the communication with the darkness ended.
* * *
An uninhabited island in the East Sea.
Strangely, there was a divine power barrier spread on this uninhabited island. It was covered with a thin layer of smoke, as if the island was covered in fog. The only thing different from the fog was that the smoke shimmered.
Pirate ships began to line up on the island.
＜Sea Man Pirates＞
＜The Straw Vest Pirates＞
＜The Whip Pirates＞
… … .
Almost all the pirates hiding in the East Sea to avoid the ghost ship gathered.
Of course, not the entire main body of the pirates came. Only the captain and adjutants who could have a conversation using the speedboat came.
As soon as they landed on the island, a man was waiting for them.
“If you come, let’s start right away. sit down.”
That man was none other than Oren.
Beautiful appearance and overwhelming atmosphere, different from pirates.
The pirates sat down where Oren had prepared without saying anything.
“You must have heard about me before you came here. I am Oren, the successor of Killika.”
When Oren had just finished introducing himself.
“Is your little friend short?”
One guy walked away.
Looking at the flag the adjutant guy was holding, it was the Sea Man Pirates.
It was a kind of test.
The other pirates were waiting to see how Oren would react. However, Oren showed a reaction they never expected.
“haha.”
He laughed briefly.
Those who saw it were thrilled. The mouth is smiling, but the eyes are not laughing at all.
He just looked towards the sea man with cold, cold eyes.
“I say it again because you don’t seem to understand. I am Killika’s successor.”
At that moment, the shadows shook and an amazing thing happened. A man wearing a mask was holding a dagger to the neck of the guy who had been wearing a shirt.
“If you came up to the island from the sea, be careful. This is not your stage, the sea.”
Just like when he appeared, the masked man disappeared in an instant.
The Sea Man’s captain swept his throat. The feeling of the cold dagger still lingered on his neck.
It seemed that he was ready to hear the story.
“If there are nobles who have lands in the empire, there are you who have fleets in the sea. You are like the lords of the sea.”
Actually, it was like a joke. However, the pirate captains were nodding their heads in satisfaction.
“But, I heard that a monster appeared in your estate. ghost ship. This guy is going to be pretty troublesome.”
Everyone had hardened expressions and didn’t show any reaction, but it was proof that they were having a hard time coming here.
“So I want you to join forces.”
At Oren’s words, a woman raised her hand. He was the captain of the Whip Pirates.
“Before we join forces, can’t you tell us something? Why do you want to join forces with us?”
It was a pretty sharp question.
“There must be someone who knows that Bishop Leone came here to subdue the ghost ship.”
Read at noble mtl.com
Most didn’t notice, but some pirate captains knew it.
“I just want to prepare a contingency plan in case Bishop Leone fails.”
“I know roughly. Are you saying that Bishop Leone will use us to cover up the failure?”
Oren nodded.
“Yes.”
“haha. This is the reason why rumors spread that the Bishop of Leone is great. It was possible because there was someone behind the scenes to help.”
It wasn’t at all, but Oren didn’t say anything to make them mistaken.
“I know why. You’re not trying to fool us. What are your plans?”
“A barrier placed on this island. I’ll give you something to make this with. The strategy is simple. After covering the ghost ship with your fleet, you can activate the barrier.”
It is to grind them with the encirclement of divine power.
“I heard that ghost ships dive?”
“I will solve that. Measures will be taken to prevent entry into the sea. Bishop Leone will solve it.”
Even after doing this, the pirates hesitated.
“I heard that many pirates have fallen and a ghost ship has plundered their treasure. I will pass ownership of the treasure to you.”
Ignite the fire of greed with treasure.
“If you have been defeated so far, this is your only chance to fight back. A unique opportunity to receive the best priests and church supplies. Are you just going to get hurt?”
It touched the pride of the guys.
Then it started to respond.
“So, what do we get?”
The Straw Vest Pirates asked a question out of the blue.
“Simple. I’ll give you a chance to become a real lord.”
“A real lord?”
“Come over to the West Sea. I’ll give you a ‘privateer’ license to loot and hunt illegal traders to your heart’s content.”
“Privater’s license?”
Oren nodded.
“Kilica will know something rather unique. The nobles only see you as pirates, but we are different. I’ll make you the Admiral of the Privateer Fleet. I will make it possible for you to use your talents so that you can officially piracy.”
“… … crazy.”
When the explanation was added, the guys immediately understood this.
“Subjugating the ghost ship is both a proposal and a test at the same time.”
“Are we really needed?”
“right. Your talents are needed. We need pirates in the West Sea.”
of course. Not at all.
As long as there are fishermen, illegal trade or piracy is impossible in the West Sea.
However, it was important that they did not know this.
What if you don’t have enough information?
You must be scammed!
“great. i like it Be my ally!”
The Straw Vest Pirates guy seemed a bit strange.
“You will be my companions.”
“Anyway!”
Still, his words weren’t unhelpful at all.
Thanks to that, the atmosphere has moved this way. The captains were looking at Oren with grim faces.
“You probably know that the West Sea is wider than the East Sea. It is an ocean that can embrace all of you.”
“What if you don’t want to skip?”
The last person to ask a question was a man who was like a pirate specimen.
A parrot with one eye on his shoulder.
A man who looks like he was pulled out of a picture book.
The pirates of the Pirate King still use the Pirate King’s flag.
“Do you think that defeating this ghost ship will be the end?”
“Are you saying it’s not the end?”
“The reason the ghost ship attacks the pirates in the first place is because of the ghosts. Ghosts don’t disappear easily. It will appear again.”
“… … What if you still want to stay?”
“If you still have it, I will hand over the item that created the barrier. Even if you encounter a ghost ship, it will be possible to escape.”
Let’s even throw in a proposal that can embrace even those who don’t want to cross over to the West Sea.
“Let’s decide quickly! Those in favor stay, those who oppose get out!”
The straw vest jumped up from its seat and shouted at the captains.
The pirate ship captains began to raise their hands one by one, and before they knew it, everyone raised their hands and looked at Oren.
“Then, I will start clearing the ghost ship.”
Pirates gathered together.
It’s good enough to finish in one room.
