Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 288 The Age of Discovery 2.0?

Privateer captain?
While Adele and Tracy were still thinking about what the word meant, Wendy who was on the side had already realized who invented the word.

Needless to say, it must be Roselle again... Wendy rubbed her forehead, feeling confused.

In the 16th century, European powers used all means including "encouraging pirates to attack other countries' ships" in order to compete for maritime supremacy.

Although on the surface, all countries have declared that they are incompatible with pirates, secretly they are recruiting pirates for their own use.

Roselle, who has learned the essence of this point, not only opened up the age of great voyages, but even went so far as to end himself, using his identity as the son of steam to create weapons and arm the pirates, and let them attack dissidents.

"To put it simply, the church now approves you to use this ironclad ship as the basis to form a new team to plunder along the coast of East Balam, attack port cities, and gain control of the sea."

When saying these words, Emlyn frowned slightly, lamenting in his heart that these coined words invented by Roselle were really a mouthful.

"Reform a team?"

Tracy raised her eyebrows lightly, as if she realized that there was something in the other party's words.

"Are you thinking, why can't you bring the original members of the pirate group over?"

Emlyn glanced at Tracy, and said in an unhurried manner, "You guys have been at sea for too long, and the news is a bit out of date."

After speaking, he took out the "Sea News" he had just read in the office from his pocket, flipped to the front page and threw it to Tracy.

Tracy accepted it suspiciously, and her expression became distorted after just a glance.Tens of seconds later, she threw the newspaper hard on the ground and screamed hysterically.

"How dare that Limanu guy?!!"

Adele's eyes turned slightly, and she glanced at the "Sea News" on the ground, on which were written a few lines of shocking characters in bold bold letters.

"Shock! Bloody infighting in the extreme northern seas? A new pirate general is born!"

Adele looked at Wendy, and found that the other side also had a look of astonishment.

No way... Similar thoughts arose in the hearts of the two of them.

"I only left my ship for less than a week, and he dared to rebel and claimed to have killed me?"

Tracy said in an unbelievable tone, "Has his brain been fooled by the real creator?!"

Adele knew who Tracy was talking about, but it surprised her as much as Tracy.

Limanu King, Second Officer of the Black Death, older brother of the late Third Officer of the Black Death, Mithor King the Whisperer.

Both of their brothers inherited some special features of the "Dark Emperor" pathway, both were born half Sequence 9 Extraordinary, and both were at the level of Sequence 6 "Corrupted Baron".It's just that Limanu has a magical item corresponding to "Rose Bishop" in his hand, and his strength is stronger than Mithor's.

Adele met Limanu King the last time she boarded the Black Death.He doesn't have the strong sense of presence that comes with the Black Emperor Path Extraordinary. He is more like a "Rose Bishop" than a "Corrupted Baron". He always hides in the shadows. According to Annie's description, he and Mithor are almost the same two extremes.

"The side effect of his sealed item from the real creator is that it makes him hear voices that shouldn't be heard from time to time like a true listener, which makes him very strange, and even has no interest in the captain's beauty. "

Annie and Adele described it like this at the time, "If there is anyone in the crew who I got from Qilingus who would not throw stones at the captain, it would be him... Actually, I don't know what can Get the guy excited, and maybe he'll be masturbating himself every night listening to the voice of the true Creator."

"He should know that you are behind the Witch Sect, right?"

Adele asked, "The pirate general is not alone. If he has no background, even if he snatches the fleet, he will be easily taken back by the sect's demigod, right? I don't think he looks like a brainless guy, how could he do it?" This kind of courting death?"

Having said that, Adele suddenly seemed to realize something, turned to Emlyn and asked:
"Don't tell me that the 'terrorist organization' Aurora Society has jumped out again to claim responsibility for this matter."

It is an exaggeration to say that a pirate general who has no backing is a livestock to be slaughtered in the eyes of other pirate generals.Originally, everyone had demigods behind them. If you called them demigods, I would call them too. The ones with lower ranks were the ones who suffered the most. But if someone suddenly appeared without a demigod behind them, you can’t expect the pirates to have knights all of a sudden. Alright?
Limanu doesn't look like a brainless idiot, at least he doesn't do things that seek death, so something must have given him confidence.Considering his impression, Adele's first reaction was to think of the Aurora Society.

Not only do they all believe in the true Creator, but the other party seems to be very happy to be responsible for similar things...

"It's really not the Aurora Society this time." Unexpectedly, Emlyn shook his head after smiling, "However, someone else is responsible."

"Who is it?" Tracy asked through gritted teeth.

"Iron Crusade—the name of your witch sect should be familiar to you." Emlyn said with a half-smile and half-sigh, "Do people who believe in a fallen creator like to jump out and be responsible for this kind of thing so much?"

"The Iron Cross? The Iron Cross..."

Tracy's expression suddenly became serious, and she repeated it again, as if she was thinking about something.

"Okay, it's up to you what to do. Now sign this contract quickly, and then follow me to the place where you came up to see if there are any other survivors...Of course, I guess there are none."

Emlyn urged impatiently, and Tracy quickly took the contract from him, but she only glanced at it, and her face was full of astonishment.

"Honorable Earl, there is no text in this contract."

The contract was almost completely blank except for a little mark in a place for Tracy to sign and confirm. There was no requirement, and there was no signature of Emlyn.

"Oh, I didn't have time to write it because it was my sudden idea. Just sign it, and I'll make it up later."

Emlyn said casually, "This is something I asked for from a colleague before. I didn't expect it to be used in this kind of place. Naturally, I didn't write down the regulations in advance."

"But, this..."

Tracy hesitated.In the mysterious world, the mystical connection between the real name and the ontology is one of the mediums of many spells. Signing randomly without seeing the text is as dangerous as taking your own blood to drip something of unknown origin.

"This contract cannot force others to do something that must die. This is not in line with the spirit of the contract."

Seeing Tracy hesitate, Emlyn snorted softly, "I assure you in the name of Blood Earl Emlyn White, what I just said is true."

Is it in line with the spirit of the contract not to show the text of the contract to others? ...Adele complained silently in her heart.

"Also, does being able to see the text make any difference to you?"

Emlyn walked up to Tracy, and whispered in her ear, "You won't refuse to sign, will you?"

"D-Of course not, Your Excellency the Earl..."

Tracy's body shook violently, and her tone softened immediately.Wendy on the side quickly took off the pen in the breast pocket and handed it to the other party, and then Tracy signed her name on the blank contract.

"Very good, then everyone else should leave, Miss Circe, let's go to the captain's room to talk about what you have seen and heard during this time."

When talking to Adele, who is also a member of the Tarot Society, Emlyn's tone softened a bit.

Originally, he thought that he was not only chosen by Mister Fool, but also God's chosen by the ancestor, which made him always have a strange sense of mission and honor.But now, Adele was also endowed with a certain speciality by the existence of Lilith, and she also received a response from Mister Fool in Angel Fall, which gave Emlyn a sense of urgency.

The girls dispersed one after another, and Tracy temporarily went to the room vacated by Katerina, while Adele and the two came to the captain's room, and Adele briefly explained what he had seen and heard during this period of time for Emlyn.

Of course, Adele just talked about it in general, and many details were not directly expressed.And Emlyn, who is also a member of the Tarot Society, also understands: these things cannot be said in the real world, and it is safe to tell them above the gray fog.

"I have to say, your experience is really... bizarre."

After listening to Adele's narration, Emlyn was shocked by the scene of the underground world, but he was not used to it if he, who thought he was the most special, praised others.Of course, this is also one of the main reasons why he and Leonard bickered.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with me. For others, they also have a lot of ways to make them achieve their goals."

Adele replied that this reminded her of Gagaran again, and she felt a little depressed.

"Arrogant thoughts... You are not them, why should you make assumptions for them?"

Emlyn sneered, "'If they choose someone else, they might do better than me', this kind of thinking itself is questioning their decision-making."

"In other words, there is nothing special about you before being chosen by them, but they don't need you to be special when they give you specialness;"

"After being selected by them, it is true that when others seek you to cooperate, they will be screened according to your situation, but you are already special enough to be selected by them."

"If you really want to question it, it has to be their own decision to question themselves; for yourself or other human beings, being chosen by God is the answer to all problems."

Emlyn replied in a natural tone.

Adele nodded, not to dwell on this topic anymore, but at this moment she was thinking about another thing.

Why do I feel melancholy when a similar truth is said by Ge Gelan, who is also God's Chosen, but after being said by Mr. "Moon", I just feel that he is showing off?

——Of course, she only dared to ask this question secretly in her heart.

After clearing the useless thoughts from her mind, Adele turned the topic to the recent things again.

"You said before that your letter of appointment is just a blank template to be received. Will the Kingdom's military recognize the legitimacy of this letter of appointment?"

"Don't worry, this will be included in the special preferential treatment of the Kingdom of Loen to the Church of the Earth."

Emlyn pointed to the Holy Emblem of the Church of the Mother Earth on his chest, "Even though the Church of Steam has withdrawn from Intis, their influence still cannot be eliminated quickly. The Church of the Earth wants to completely occupy the Church of Steam in Loen." status, with an armed force of the same size, there is still a long way to go."

"In the middle, we have to take some extraordinary measures to get through this difficult transition period. You should have seen those of my kind in Backlund. They are Extraordinary beings used by the Church of the Mother God for the transition. They originally lived in Beckland Rand's blood."

"That's it, then I'm relieved." Adele nodded and leaned back in the chair slightly to relieve her fatigue.

After a few seconds, she suddenly remembered something again, and asked Emlyn: "By the way, we are in the Southern Continent now. Is there any means of communication to reach the Intersea region? I have to talk to my... ...Uh, fiancée, please be safe."

fiancée?Emlyn raised his eyebrows, and then thought that the other party was a Beyonder of the "Witch" path, and he knew it immediately.

However, even if he wanted to be the savior of the blood clan, he couldn't escape this hurdle...

When Emlyn thought of the Sequence 1 "Goddess of Beauty" in his own path and the Sequence 2 "Mother of Desolation" in the adjacent path, a feeling of sorrow filled the bottom of his heart.

But soon, he collected his scattered thoughts and replied according to his memory:
"It was there before, but it's gone now."

It was there before, but it's gone now?Adele was a little puzzled, and quickly asked, "Why?"

Emlyn snorted with some dissatisfaction, and said: "Originally, when the kingdom colonized the southern continent, a telegraph line was built between the northern and southern continents, but after the outbreak of the war to siege the Rose School, they destroyed this line."

"Because most of the Extraordinary members of the Church of Steam have already withdrawn, the Church of Evernight also means that they don't want to involve those guys to make them profitable, so they haven't been able to wait for the technicians to repair the line, and the battle situation command has removed the equipment with high The only way for a fast clipper ship to go back and forth between the north and south continents is to use the ironclad ship anchored on the sea as a transit point, and there is no way to use wireless telegraphy to communicate."

"Originally, this method is very safe. The ironclad ship itself is a mobile fortress. Even if it breaks down, it is not afraid to shoot at each other when the enemy's fleet comes to sneak attack. But who would have thought that the star cluster would rise from the bottom of the sea?"

"The star cluster that rose just now has destroyed the transfer station. If you want to report safety, you can only wait until the next Tarot meeting and ask those who are still in the Jianhai area to give you a message."

Then Emlyn changed the subject: "However, most of them should have left the Jianhai area now... This time, there is a problem with Ms. Judgment."
