They all call me master.

Chapter 923 The Pirate King's Treasure I

When you can control a group of rats, investigating ruins, treasures and mines becomes a three-step process: summon the rats, order the search, and find the ruins, treasures or mines.

That's what Arthur did.

With the [Crown of the Rat King], one of Hulk's twenty-seven items, Arthur quickly grasped the situation under the Lion Palace.

The gold mine is bigger than I imagined.

A complete bonanza!
Do not!
It is gold beyond imagination!

That's right!

It's gold!

Gold that doesn't need to be extracted from its ore!

About a hundred meters below the current excavated location, there is a large area of ​​such "gold mine".

This is certainly not natural.

But it is man-made.

Arthur walked down and soon came to a secret room.

A secret room similar to a study.

A desk and a chair.

There was a book and a ship's rudder on the desk.

There was a dead body sitting on the chair.

Time devoured the flesh and blood of the corpse, leaving only bones and some rags.

The rats have checked.

There is no danger here.

There were only some secret arrays to repel rats, snakes and insects - if Arthur hadn't given the order with the [Crown of the Rat King], the rats would never have entered here.

Raise your hand and put down the [Warning Oil Lamp].

Arthur used the end of his cane to move the skeletal hand that was resting on the book, and then continued to use the cane as an aid to reading, turning the pages.

Arthur is definitely not a mysophobe.

But I don't like fiddling with corpses either.

Special ink and paper make the handwriting extremely clear——

'Death' deceived me!
It's just a bastard who uses despicable tricks!

……

On the first page, the bold and large text reads:

And that 'it' is not a typo.

It is the hatred of the owner of this notebook towards 'death'.

Arthur became interested in an instant.

According to the information, the skeleton in front of him was naturally the 'Pirate King', but Arthur did not expect that this 'Pirate King' was also related to 'death'.

Immediately, the cane flipped repeatedly.

The notes went by page by page.

There was a slight twinkle in Arthur's eyes.

Then, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up——

This skeleton is the former 'Pirate King' Edward.

This notebook is the essay of Edward, the "Pirate King".

A lot of things are recorded above.

Young Edward signed a contract with the 'White Robe' who had not yet become 'Death', helping the other to do some shameful things.

Also, as their strength and power grew, they began to develop a rebellious heart.

and also……

God war!

The War of Gods Hidden Under the 'Seven Years' War'!

Under the gunfire of mortals, the gods take action!
And the role played by the 'white robe' in it.

Double agent!

In front of the gods, we are humble believers.

In front of mortals, he is a persistent guardian.

"Tsk, tsk, that's terrible!"

As Arthur said this, his face became more and more interested, because he saw hidden information in this notebook - information that was made into a secret code according to the pirates' habit and then hidden in the main text.

Of course, he learned this from Old John. Or to be more precise, Old John took the initiative to reveal this to Arthur in order to show his sincerity.

According to the rule of choosing one from one row, choosing two from two rows, and starting the count again after saving seven, Arthur quickly deciphered the real contents of the notebook.

'It seeks the 'position of fraud'!
It failed.

It became 'death'!
But the ritual of the 'Seat of Fraud' did not stop!
'Blood' definitely knows that!
Young 'Lions' probably know this too!
I do not know what the use of writing this is, but my ship is useful. I am bound by indentures and cannot escape, but my 'ship' is not bound by indentures.

Bring my 'ship' and help me take out that bastard who deceived me.

Not only did it steal my life, it also shattered my hopes.

I also want to make it fail!
Make good use of my 'boat'!
She will help you!
And all this gold!

I hid them all under this gold mine - hahaha, since the young 'Lion' wants to resist 'Death', he is my natural ally, and I don't mind helping him.

Of course, I won't tell him.

This guy is beyond me.

I don't like the way he looks at people.

Even so, he is my ally.

On the contrary, Count Nanros is a very good person. He has extraordinary wisdom and considerable strength. Most importantly, he is a knight who keeps his promises.

He should be able to become my ally, right? '

Arthur touched his chin.

He really didn't expect that the old Earl of Nanlos, who was called "waste", could actually be praised as "Pirate King".

call.

Arthur couldn't help but sigh deeply.

'Hide yourself?
Is it because of knowing about death?

Or because...

'Blood?'

Arthur guessed.

But no matter what, one thing is certain: the old Earl of Nanlos is no simple person.

Then Arthur looked at the notebook again.

The words on the notebook were so powerful that they could be seen through the paper. From every word on it, the young psychic could feel the unwillingness, resentment, and unspeakable regret of the "Pirate King" Edward.

The former, Arthur knew.

Arthur also knew the latter.

Heir!

Although the old pirate king's search for his offspring could be considered a secret, it was only known to most people. In the eyes of a small number of people, it was open to the public.

Arthur was naturally one of that small group of people.

After all, his other alias [General Puppet] is now the "King of the Near Sea".

With this reputation, pirates from nearby areas flocked to the place.

Some of these guys had bad intentions and wanted to gain the title of "King of the Near Sea" by stepping on his corpse, while others were seeking asylum.

The former was cut into pieces by his vest.

The latter was taken under his wing.

In just a short period of time, tens of thousands of pirates had gathered near Coconut Island.

Among these pirates, there are many guys with sharp ears and eyes.

Each of them has a secret.

And when these secrets could gain the favor of the 'King of the Near Sea', they naturally revealed them.

So, Arthur knew a lot.

As for killing?
That was done by the 'King of the Near Sea'. What does it have to do with him, Arthur Kratos?
Of course, the information I got from the 'King of the Near Sea' is naturally his, Arthur Kratos - I heard it with my own ability, how can it not be counted as mine.

''Blood?''
Young 'Lion'?
It's getting more and more interesting!'

Arthur gathered his thoughts.

Different from the 'death' that is close to you.

That 'blood' was very wary of him.

Arthur shrugged his shoulders and expressed his innocence at this behavior that even mediums would be wary of.

Then Arthur looked at the rudder.

he knows--

This rudder will be my greatest gain.
