Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 91 I Have a Golden Dream

Yu Jin looked at the sea level in the distance and gradually his thoughts became rational.

Let’s reorganize it.

Slaves were plundered from East Balam in the southern continent and had to pass through four nodes:
Aurora Society → Painting World → Mad Captain → Capin → Loen Royal Family.

This process can be completely simplified as Aurora Society → Painting World → Loen Royal Family.

The two procedures in the middle are completely meaningless.

But Kapin is a puppet supported by the Loen royal family, and by the same token, it is speculated that the mad captain may also be a member of the Aurora Society.

Their purpose of existence is to act as a 'filter' and 'spokesperson' for both parties.

"No, probably not."

Yu Jin thought for a long time and then shook his head slightly, overturning his own guess.

Although the mad captain is "crazy", he is obviously not a real madman like the Aurora Society. At most, he is "crazy" who doesn't know what is good for him.

When he started the fight before, he was even ready to make peace with me, but the madman from the Aurora Society would never make peace.

Moreover, the other party's route was obviously not the path of the 'Secret Prayer'.

In other words.

The mad captain is either a member of the royal family or belongs to a third party force.

But Yu Jin is more inclined to the second possibility.

Because if he is a member of the royal family, then the entire delivery process becomes——

Aurora Society → Painting World → Royal Family → Royal Family → Royal Family.

If this is true, then the royal family is simply out of their minds.

Moreover, the 'Hanged Man' said that the Mad Captain was a subordinate of the 'Disease Girl' Tracy.

Yu Jin had previously guessed that she might be an 'assassin'.

The extraordinary people of the "Assassin" path have always come from the Witch Cult.

Then.

The whole process should be Aurora Society → Painting World → Witch Sect → Kapin → Loen Royal Family.

"Aurora Society, Witch Church, Loen Royal Family."

"Tsk, is this considered a nest of snakes and rats?"

Yu Jin smacked his lips. The Loen royal family was not a good thing, as they were mixed up with two evil cults.

As for why the three forces had to go through such a complicated handover procedure, he probably guessed the reason.

Because they don't trust each other.

The royal family does not trust the Aurora Society, so they do not want to trade directly with it.

So the Witch Cult was asked to act as the middleman, but since they didn't trust the Witch Cult either, Ka Ping was asked to come forward.

of course.

It is also possible that the royal family thought from the beginning that they were dealing with the Witch Cult, but the Witch Cult secretly chose to "outsource" it to the Aurora Society.

In other words.

As the mad captain refused to surrender, Ember wanted to continue the investigation.

The most recent breakthrough point is the Witch Church.

There is only one witch known on the sea.

Sick girl.

"Perhaps Mr. 'The Hanged Man' can provide some clues."

Yu Jin was deep in thought, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a golden 'sun' appearing on the distant horizon.

and.

This 'little sun' is still expanding and approaching at a very fast speed.

Finally, the entire outline of the 'little sun' appeared in Ember's sight.

That was not the sun, but a sailboat shining with golden light under the sunlight.

Yu Jin's expression moved slightly.

Although the 'Hanged Man' promised to come find him.

But looking for a boat in the vast ocean is actually not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

Now that a ship has finally arrived, he certainly won't want to let it go easily.

just.

He was just about to set out to catch up with the other person before he left.

But in the end, he discovered that the other party seemed to have adjusted its direction and was moving towards him.

He was certain.

The other party must have discovered something strange about the ship.

But instead of leaving, they took the initiative to move closer.

Is it out of curiosity?
Or are you confident enough in your own abilities?

The golden sailing ship, which was shining brightly and seemed to be able to blind people's eyes, approached quickly, and began to slow down when it was about to get close, and finally completed parallel with the "One-eyed Skull".

The distance between the two sides was so close that Yu Jin could see the sailors above, see the vigilance and alertness on their faces, and see the weapons they held tightly in their hands, shining with cold light.

It seemed that they were preparing for a boarding operation.

And in fact, they did so.

Almost immediately.

A warrior wearing full plate armor jumped onto the deck with a group of sailors, looking at the embers with vigilance.

"We must leave a few more alive this time."

Yu Jin tightly gripped the Black Knight's greatsword in his hand and silently reminded himself in his heart.

But after thinking about it, I felt that the greatsword killed people too quickly, and once I started killing I couldn't stop.

Then he quietly changed to the Irithyll straight sword.

but.

They didn't fight after all.

Because Yu Jin was stunned for a moment when he saw the sun symbol on the chest of the opponent's armor.

So he didn't do it.

Because a beautiful lady was standing quietly on the side of the ship.

So they didn't do anything.

The lady had a pretty oval face, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a pair of light blue eyes like clear spring water.

The long brown hair was parted in the middle, tied into a simple yet exquisite knot at the back of the head, and then flowed smoothly down.

She was not wearing a hat, but a beige coat that was tightened at the waist. There was a large palm-sized flower-shaped decoration woven from white lace at the collar that spread down, giving her an intellectual beauty.

She wore a pair of dark trousers and leather boots, which added a touch of coolness to her intellectual beauty.

"Captain, be careful!"

A sailor next to the lady warned vigilantly.

Not only him, several sailors were quietly approaching the beautiful lady, vaguely forming a half fan in front of her.

"captain?"

Ember was a little surprised.

Because compared to the stereotypical pirate captain, she is more like a rich lady on a picnic at sea.

not to mention.

Standing next to these ferocious pirates, she looked more like an innocent girl who was trafficked here.

"Want a ride?"

The beautiful lady on the side of the ship suddenly spoke, her voice was cold yet unusually pleasant.

But for some reason, she used the ancient language of Fusac.

If it weren't for Yu Jin wearing the 'Eye of Wisdom', he probably wouldn't have understood.

"captain!"

The sailor next to him changed his expression slightly and tried to dissuade him.

But the lady just looked at him quietly with her light blue eyes.

The sailor hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, took two steps back, and said no more.

"Want to come up?"

The lady looked at Ember again and asked softly.

"it is good."

Yu Jin looked at the lady's genuine expression, thought about it and nodded slightly.

He invited a stranger who had slaughtered a whole boat of people on board just after meeting. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was fishy.

but.

Ember didn't care.

If the other party really wants to give him a ride, he doesn't mind taking a ride.

But if the other party wanted to give him a ride, then he wouldn't mind giving them a ride.

Thinking.

The ember jumped lightly and landed steadily on the deck.

Although he was wearing heavy armor, there was no sound when he jumped.

It didn't fall on the deck, but was as light as a cat. This scene made the beautiful lady's eyes flash with a strange light.

"Edwina Edwards."

The lady suddenly extended her hand toward Ember and introduced herself.

"..."

Ember was silent for a moment, then he stretched out his gauntleted hand and whispered, "Ash Black."

"Ash Black?"

When she heard the name, Edwina suddenly frowned for some reason.

The sailors nearby noticed the change in the captain's expression and quietly tightened their weapons.

But Edwina's frown only lasted for a moment, as she seemed to have thought of something.

"Mr. Ash."

Edwina asked softly, "Can I ask why you are here?"

"Because of an accident."

Ember thought about it and replied.

"Accident?"

Edwina seemed quite interested in his experience and asked, "What kind of accident?"

Yu Jin didn't answer, but just looked at her quietly.

"I'm sorry, I was rude. You don't have to answer."

Edwina reacted immediately and apologized for her behavior.

"Where are we here?"

Ember pondered for a moment and asked.

"Sonia Sea."

Edwina was not surprised by Ember's question and replied, "If you want to know the specific location, it is southeast of Toscat Island, 1,500 nautical miles away from Toscat Island and about 3,500 nautical miles away from Bayam."

Yu Jin pretended to be thoughtful, but in fact he didn't recognize these two places at all.

After thinking for a long time, Yu Jin asked politely, "Can you prepare a room for me? I want to rest first."

"of course."

Edwina nodded slightly, "Bruce, take Ash to arrange the room."

"Okay, Captain."

The first mate, Blue Walls, who had short grey curly hair, pushed up his monocle and spoke in a slightly respectful tone.

"Please follow me, Mr. Ash."

Blue Walls walked up to the man in black knight armor, made a gesture of invitation, and then led him directly to the cabin.

"captain."

The two men had just left when Second Officer Orpheus, who had just boarded another ship, jumped back.

He took off his helmet, revealing a sculpture-like, tough face.

Then he took two steps at a time and walked quickly to Edwina's side. He lowered his voice and said, "I know this ship. This is the One-Eyed Skull. It is the flagship of the 'Mad Captain', a subordinate of the sick girl. He only has one ship."

"and,"

Orpheus took a deep breath, his eyes solemn. "I checked, there is no one alive on the ship. That guy is definitely a tough guy! We shouldn't have let him on board."

"Mad Captain?"

Edwina frowned slightly and suddenly asked, "That human trafficker?"

"Yes."

Orpheus nodded and said in a deep voice, "Although I also look down on this kind of people, he is at least a Sequence 6 Beyonder, and he has two Sequence 7s under his command. Even for me, it would be difficult to take them down without paying a price."

"But all the traces on the ship show that this was more like a premeditated massacre!"

"That guy is too dangerous!"

"Captain, would you like to..."

Upon hearing this, the third mate, Johnson, who was standing next to him, became a little worried and made a throat-cutting gesture.

Edwina looked at Jodson.

Compared to the others, Jodson, in his white shirt, black vest and colorful bow tie, looked more like a clerk than a pirate.

But his words were more direct than anyone else's.

But Johnsen didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he puffed out his chest with pride.

Second mate Orpheus glanced at Johnson, nicknamed "Flower Tie", although he had always been unhappy with this third mate.

But I have to admit, what he said makes sense.

It is always better to strike first against such people whose origins are unknown and who are obviously extremely cruel.

Although they were not extremely vicious pirates, they were still pirates after all and not good people.

Good men cannot survive at sea.

"Do not."

Edwina shook her head slightly and said softly, "Have you ever thought about a question?"

"what?"

Second Officer Orpheus and Third Officer 'Flower Tie' Johnson were both stunned.

"If he killed all the people on the ship, how did he get on board?"

Edwina looked at the dried blood on the One-Eyed Skull opposite and said softly.

"This……"

Second mate Orpheus was slightly stunned and a little puzzled.

Yes.

How did he get on board?

Wearing such a suit of armor, you will be the most handsome guy standing in the crowd, definitely standing out from the crowd.

If he didn't get along with the 'mad captain', he would never be able to board the ship openly.

not to mention.

The nearest island is at least a day's sail away, and judging from the time of death of those people, it should not have been more than ten hours.

In other words, the other party took action in the sea where there was no island in front and no land behind.

But this makes another problem even more acute:

How on earth did he get on board?
"Is it an internal conflict?"

Second mate Orpheus thought for a moment and asked uncertainly.

"captain."

Flower Tie stepped forward again and urged, "If that's the case, we can't let him get on board. We should take the initiative and kill him as soon as possible!"

"I'm thinking."

A bright color flashed in Edwina's beautiful eyes, "Is there a possibility that he was picked up by the mad captain?"

The second mate was surprised and wanted to ask for details.

But just then, First Mate Blue Walls came back.

"How about it?"

Edwina asked.

"It's normal."

Blue Walls replied, "He was very calm along the way. I arranged two alert sailors to guard outside his door. If there is any situation, we can find it immediately."

"Which room did you put him in?"

Edwina nodded slightly to show her approval of the first mate's actions, and then continued to ask.

"Jordson's."

Blue Walls glanced at the 'Flower Tie' and said casually, "After all, he is a guest, and a strong man at that. We can't let him live on the lower deck and squeeze in with other sailors, right?"

"Um?!"

The 'Flower Tie' Johnson, who was originally watching the show, suddenly opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "You bastard! Why don't you give him your room?!"

"I'm the first mate."

Blue Walls glanced at the 'flower tie' with disdain and said leisurely.

"Nima's!"

'Flower Tie' was furious, "That's my room, no, I have to take it back!"

Edwina looked at her two subordinates, as if she could see their restlessness, and said calmly, "Don't do anything unnecessary, and don't conflict with him. Johnson, you can lend him your room temporarily. It won't take a few days."

"Yes, Captain."

First mate Blue and second mate Orpheus nodded without hesitation.

He just remained silent for a long time and nodded slightly.

As for 'Flower Tie' Johnson, he was being stared at by Edwina, and although he was annoyed, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Edwina didn't say anything more. She still had the most basic trust in her subordinates.

If they can't even handle such a small matter, they have no right to stay on the ship.

The lady turned and walked towards the captain's cabin, closing the door to block their view as the others watched.

Edwina walked to the table, took out a piece of letter paper and a pen, and thought for a long time before writing:

"Dear Teacher Clana..."
