The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 48 1. It's very simple to get rid of this curse, just pick up the knife and hit yourself on the neck
On the ship heading to Tortuga Island, the captain's room was very lively after nightfall. Except for the kite man who was patrolling outside consciously, the other three members of Team K were here.

Mason is responsible for demonstrating his alchemy skills to Zha Kang.

Zha Kang was responsible for complaining.

"Who did you learn alchemy from?"

The master of black magic who was forced to board the black ship of Team K squinted his eyes. After watching the whole process, Mason made three doses of healing potions with the small cauldron and magic fire that he carried with him, and then revealed a look of "you are fucking kidding me" expression.

Zha Kang shook his head again and again, pointed at the crucible that was still cooling, and said in a harsh tone:
"This thing is a real wizard's cauldron, made of mithril and very valuable in circles, but the way you use it is like a primitive man using a pistol for a stone.

It's not a matter of skill anymore, my poor Mason.

I would like to persuade you to change careers now, but it is probably too late, and your career will most likely end in tragedy. "

"Appreciate further details."

Mason wasn't too angry.

It's going to show Jack Kang his skills in order to get some expert guidance from this unreliable guy who does have two skills.

Of course, on the other hand, there are really not many entertainment methods at night on the sea. If you don't plan to flirt with your big sister who is also bored, this is the only thing left.

Anyway, idle is idle.

"I am not very good at alchemy, I prefer to use my wisdom to solve problems, but Xiao Zha is an ancestral white wizard, and their family is quite experienced in this area.

I have also seen how Xiao Zha makes potions. Compared with her, you are really too good.

Even the gestures are so rude. "

Slag Kang took out the premium tobacco leaves privately "respected" by the boatswain, rolled them into cigarettes, and said to Mason:

"First of all, you have problems with the handling of materials.

Alchemy is the technique of using magic power. Before making potions and alchemy items, you should enchant them first, so as to better stimulate the effect of materials.

At least that's what Xiao Zha told me. "

"It makes sense."

Mason nodded with a serious expression, took out Mr. Potter's diary from his arms, and wrote Zha Kang's suggestion on it. He took another look at the black magician who lit up the cigarette and said:

"anything else?"

"Also"

Zha Kang showed a "baited" expression, stretched out his hand and patted Mason's shoulder with a smile on his face, and said kindly:
"The rest is 'paid content', my dear Captain."

"Pfft"

The catwoman who was playing with the cat's tail whip boredly was amused. She thought that Zha Kang, apart from being a scumbag with no bottom line, actually had a sense of humor.

And this time she was indeed on Zha Kang's side.

Selena said while admiring her nails:

"Indeed, little Mason, if you want Constantine to tell you the knowledge you are interested in, you have to come up with something we want first. For example, should you explain your real origin or something?"

"There is also the background of the Stars Club and their internal information."

Zha Kang squinted his eyes and leaned against the table, playing with a small green fireball in his hand, and said:
"We're a squad now, Mason, and you can't hide too much if you want to achieve unity."

"My origin is an unlucky young man in Gotham City."

Mason took out another alchemy material and said to the two people in front of him:

"My experience is just like what I told Batman, I was indeed captured by old K as cannon fodder and entered the Stars Club by mistake, I didn't lie, at most I just didn't tell the whole truth.

As for the Stars Club."

He took out the captain's handbook given by Mr. Hunter, threw it to Zha Kang, and said:

"Everything I know is above. You have to understand that I was a rookie who tried to kill my captain and replaced him when I first joined the club. I did it too quickly and he died before he had time to explain too much.

But what I can tell you is whether the stars will be a good thing.

This is the advice that old K gave me before he died. "

"Which organization is good that uses soul curses to manipulate members?"

Zha Kang flipped through the captain's handbook, and said in a low tone:

"But this organization does have some skills, just from the fact that they have mastered the ability to travel through parallel worlds, they are already the number one organization in our world.

According to the instructions in this manual, the stars will divide the power of different worlds, and our side should be a dangerous A-level world, or super A-level.

Why do I still feel a little bit of the bloody honour? "

He complained and handed the thin manual to Selena, and Catwoman sat by the window and flipped through it carefully looking for important information in those texts.

"As for Team K
In three weeks, there will be an internal trade fair of the Constellation, and we will participate in the mandatory development and exploration mission I mentioned earlier, which is our first hurdle after joining the Constellation. "

Now that he decided to be honest about his current situation, Mason did not hide it. He also told Zha Kang and Catwoman about the existence of Mr. Hunter, and said:
"I think we have to survive before we can think about how to get rid of or kill those bastards. What do you think, two?"

"Compared to this, I'm more curious about the purpose of the Stars Club."

Master Catwoman flicked the manual in her hand and said:
"That Mr. Destiny has spent so much energy building up a huge organization that spans countless parallel worlds, what is the purpose of gathering the chosen people from each world?
That Mr. Hunter told you that in our world, besides the K team, there are other teams that are secretly operating. What are they lurking for?
There are five levels within the Stars Society and a clear command and logistics system. There are so many world resources for them to discover and use, and they are constantly exploring new parallel worlds.

This isn't recruiting explorers at all, Mason.

They are helping some guy behind the scenes to build and maintain an 'army'. "

Selena leaned against the window and asked softly:
"But who are they fighting? Or, who are they fighting?"

"Simply a mystery."

Zha Kang exhaled the smoke ring, and said in a gloomy tone:

"Even with a dozen curses on my body, it's been a long time since I've been so uneasy. When I think that I may be forced to fight Superman and Wonder Woman in the future, I can't wait to strangle you, Mason.

But the good news is that the stunningly attractive Ms. Selena is on our side!
The nasty Batboy might get cold feet or something.

reach out!
Let me see your tattoo again. "

The black mage extinguished the burning cigarette in the healing potion that Mason had just made.

He looked at the tattoo on Mason's left arm with a more serious attitude than the previous few times, and used a seemingly advanced magic in the absence of magic power around him.

In an instant, the entire captain's cabin was illuminated by a dancing arc of light.

"what!"

Mason gritted his teeth but still moaned.

He felt as if his left arm was being repeatedly slashed by a sharp knife. After nearly a minute of light arcs fluttering, Jarcon, who was so weak that his forehead was sweating, tremblingly supported the table.

A strange white gas emanated from his body, as if he had been steamed, and frantically drained the vitality potion that Mason handed over in one gulp.

Having regained some energy, he rolled a second tobacco and said:

"The good news is that this is not an enforced curse. There are no 'dominate', 'dominate' or 'bewitch' power handles in its composition, which means we don't have to worry about our souls being killed at some point. Take over control.

So I guess it's a 'curse of secrecy'.

As long as we don't talk about things about the Constellation Society, there is a high probability that the backlash of this curse will not be triggered. "

"What kind of good news is this?"

Catwoman pouted and said:
"There is no need to curse to force the members to obey, which means that the stars will have other means to deal with the rebels. What's the bad news?"

"There's plenty of bad news."

Zha Kang, who finally went all out to do a curse check for Mason, shrugged his shoulders, tilted his head with a cigarette in his mouth and asked Mason to light it for him with the magic fire, and then said slowly:

"Mason told me before that this curse came from a devil with a godhead, but according to my experience, even a real god can only have the authority of a god in his own country.

However, the curse on Mason's arm can still take effect even though countless parallel worlds are separated from the main body, and every member of the Star Society has such a curse.

You can taste the meaning of this for yourself. "

Zha Kang spread his hands, and said in a bad tone:

"Don't think about getting rid of it head-on, it's impossible. Secondly, this curse will gradually deepen as our status in the Constellation Society rises, until finally it is completely integrated with the soul.

This is an irreversible 'transformation' process.

From the current point of view, it cannot be escaped unless death is added to the body. "

"and many more!"

Mason interrupted Zha Kang suddenly, he stared at the black magician, and said:

"Will the curse be invalidated just by dying?"

"Are you doubting my extensive experience in dealing with curses?"

Jagger looked at him sideways and said:

"Also, what do you mean by 'as long as you die'? Does it mean that death is a piece of cake for you? How about I stab you now and see the result?"

"No! You fool."

Mason seemed to suddenly open his mind.

He stood up and thought quickly, and said to the two people in front of him:
"If death is the end of this 'hard labor', then we are not without a way out. Death is not the end, we can find some way to resurrect ourselves.

For example, the Pool of Salaru, which is treasured by the League of Assassins, has the ability to 'resurrect the dead'.

We can't get rid of this curse, but we don't have to get rid of it, we just need to 'cheat' it to be free. "

"I wanted to tell you that it's not that simple, but you crazy raving is not a solution. When facing an enemy that cannot be defeated by common sense, it is very wise to choose to feign death to escape."

Zha Kang, whose life motto is "Run first when in trouble", was also interested, but he quickly shook his head and said:
"I've heard of the Salaru Pool, but I know that the power behind that thing is no easier than a godhead devil. You are equivalent to replacing the current one with a worse curse.

Not worth the loss. "

"What about this?"

Mason took out the Hogwarts Encyclopedia of Potions, turned to the last page and put it upright for Zack and Catwoman to see, and the names on it stunned these two guys.

"Elixir of life?"

Zha Kang and Catwoman looked at each other, and the eldest sister said suspiciously:
"Even a magical creation is too outrageous. Is there really such a thing?"

"In the world of Hogwarts, an alchemist lived almost 900 years old by relying on the Philosopher's Stone. What do you think?"

Mason said with bright eyes:

"Of course, the elixir of life cannot bring people back to life, but it represents a possibility. I happen to know several ways to achieve resurrection after death, but they all require a certain price.

The Horcrux knowledge in John's hands is one of these methods.

For the rest, I need to raise my alchemy level to at least the level of a master before I can try to make it. "

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Catwoman jumped over with a swish, put her hands on Mason's shoulders and pushed him back to the chair, pointed to the crucible and materials in front of her and said:
"Hurry up and practice! My sister's freedom for the rest of her life is on you. If you do well, I can give you some rewards. John! Didn't you say that there is something wrong with his alchemy?

teach him!

quick! "

"To be honest, unlike the innocent Mason, I am a person who has no motivation unless I reward myself."

Zha Kang looked Selena up and down, and let out a weird laugh.

As a result, seeing the catwoman sneered and moved her left leg, she immediately subconsciously covered her lower body and shrugged, picked up a peppermint, and said to Mason:
"Look, I only do it once. I remember Xiao Zha did this when he was dealing with magic materials"

"boom"

Just as Kang Zha was about to demonstrate to Mason, the hatch of the captain's cabin was suddenly pushed open.The three of them looked back at the door at the same time, and the one-eyed boatswain rushed in with a matchlock gun, and shouted in horror:

"Three wizards, something has happened! Tortuga Island and Turtle Island are on fire! That island is burning!"

"Ok?"

Mason stood up immediately.

Turtle Island was the destination of their trip, and something happened before they landed on the island.

When the three of them walked out of the captain's cabin, the kiteman who had taken off to investigate at night also adjusted his big kite and landed on the deck.

He yelled at Mason and the others:
"It's zombies! Zombies appeared on that island. They were setting fire to stop them, but it was too late. Zombies had rushed into the island from the pier.

Boss, can you help me? "

Mason looked at the burning island in the distance, he looked back at the terrified boatswain, and asked coldly:

"Except for Turtle Island, how far is the nearest port? How many days does it take to sail?"

"The closest is Port-au-Prince, but it has been captured by ghouls."

The one-eyed old sailor wiped his sweat and said tremblingly:

"We'll have to turn around and sail for ten days, at least ten days, to find a safe port."

"There's not that much time to waste!"

Mason made up his mind at once, and he said to the kiteman:

"Charles, take us into the air and put out the fire first. Selena, you are watching the boat continue to approach Turtle Island."

"How about I stay here?"

Zha Kang didn't really want to take risks to save a group of survivors in the 18th century. The lack of magic power in this world also greatly limited his combat effectiveness.

"You don't want to go, John."

Mason reached out to grab the rope dropped by the re-launched Kiteman, glanced at Zackon, and said:
"But think clearly, once I die there, you are ready to spend your whole life with Selena in this doomsday world."

"Uh."

The black magician glanced at Catwoman and looked her up and down, and said hesitantly after a few seconds:
"If it's a woman like Selena, then it's not unacceptable."

"bass"

The expressionless Catwoman sister drew half of the sword from her waist.

Zha Kang shrank his head and grabbed another rope and made a chic gesture, allowing the kite man to take the two guys off the boat and fly to the burning Turtle Island with difficulty.

"Give you!"

In the air, Mason took out his critical shotgun "Old K" and threw a small bag of gray potion to Zha Kang, saying:

"This is petrochemical potion. I will let you throw it down later. Do you have a spell that can quickly extinguish the fire?"

"Yes, yes."

Zha Kang looked at the burning island with a painful face, and said:
"But this ultra-low magic environment will be useless after one use. I don't have the habit of saving strangers."

"I'll make you a magic potion."

Mason said:
"You don't have to return anything you took from me, except for the Philosopher's Stone. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope now, so stop hiding, John.

I know how powerful you are. "

"What? Isn't that my thing?"

Zha Kang said with a vigilant face:
"Why are you shameless! How can there be a captain like you who directly manages what the team members want?"

"Stop talking nonsense and prepare to cast a spell!"

The young man snorted and shouted to the sky:
"Charles, lower the altitude."

"Boss, uh, I think you two better get ready for the rappelling immediately."

"Huh? Don't you call yourself a kite master but you can't even land smoothly?"

"No, my technique is fine! But the kite is cracking under the weight of the three of us, and the good news is that I can glide to the island.

The bad news is, we may be about to crash! "

"Tsk tsk, is this the true strength of the K team? It really opened my eyes! Why don't we discuss it, Mason, is it too late for me to quit the team to keep safe?"
