Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 99 Touched from behind

"Aurora Society?"

Audrey, who was originally a little hesitant, suddenly brightened up.

Yes.

Mr. Fool originally wanted his followers to take action.

But for a favored one of gods to take action, this ambassador must not be an ordinary person!

Because even if Mr. Fool changed his mind, he would specifically ask the Aurora Club to step in!
You have to know that there is a god behind the Aurora Society!
Although he is an evil god, he is also a real god!

What about the ambassador?

What force is behind him?

The Republic of Intis is certain, but there must be more than just the Republic of Intis.

Because if that were the case, it wouldn't be worth Mr. Fool's effort.

It could only be another evil god!
Mr. Fool specifically asked Mr. A to take action, perhaps this also involves a game at the level of gods!

But now, she is lucky enough to be able to participate...

The girl who was originally a little hesitant suddenly became excited. She accepted this mission! No one can stop her!
"Mr. Fool."

Audrey thought about it and replied cautiously, "I can try to complete this task, but I may not succeed."

Although she really hopes to be able to participate.

But she still didn't say too much because she wanted to do more research beforehand.

"What do you want in return?"

The Fool nodded slightly and asked with a smile.

"Hmm~"

Audrey thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "We can discuss this after the mission is completed. If it fails, the cost will be borne by myself. Besides, I still owe your followers a bounty. If the mission can be completed and the cost does not exceed this bounty, there is no need for compensation."

The bounty she was talking about was Qilingos' bounty.

Although the one who killed Qi Lingos was Mr. Fool's follower, it was obviously inconvenient for the other party to show up, so the bounty finally fell on Audrey who discovered Qi Lingos.

"Ten thousand pounds. Half of it is five thousand pounds."

Mr. Fool suddenly felt a little envious. It was a pity that he could not show up, otherwise he could also get the 5000 gold pounds.

Unfortunately.

Poverty limited his imagination.

Qi Lingos' bounty is not ten thousand, but at least thirty thousand!

If it's split in half, he can get at least 15,000 pounds!

Of course, whether it was 5,000 or 15,000 pounds made no difference to Klein.

Because there was no way he could come forward to get the money anyway.

"Miss Justice."

Yu Jin suddenly said, "This matter would be best handled by a stranger Beyonder."

"I understand."

Audrey nodded solemnly.

Mr. A is a member of the Aurora Society after all, and although he is short of money, he will most likely accept this mission.

But it cannot be ruled out that he might act on the client on a whim.

Therefore, the best way is to find a stranger Beyonder to do it.

Although there is still a possibility of being traced back.

But if it really came to that, Audrey could just inform the Orthodox Church.

After several members finished communicating, Klein announced that the Tarot Club would end this week.

After seeing off Miss Justice and the others, Klein did not leave the gray fog immediately.

Instead, he sat in his seat, lost in thought.

"If it's Mr. A who does it, it should be foolproof, right?"

Although the Hanged Man's analysis made sense, the fact is that The Fool himself did not know whether there were other evil gods behind the ambassador.

The reason why he wanted to kill the other party was simply because if he didn't kill the ambassador quickly, the newspaper might publish the news of "an unknown detective accidentally drowned in a stinking ditch" in a few days.

He did think about asking Yu Jin for help.

But firstly, he still owed Yu Jin two things, and secondly, Yu Jin was not in Backlund right now.

So he actually only has two options:

First, take the initiative to expose your identity and surrender yourself to the Church of Night to obtain asylum.

However, this would inevitably lead to interrogation by the Church of Night, and there is even the possibility of being "sliced ​​and studied".

So this path can only be considered an alternative.

Apart from that, look for members of the Tarot Club.

The Embers and the Hanged Man are in the Sonia Sea, and the Sun is in the God-forsaken Land; none of them can be counted on.

The only one I can count on is Miss Justice.

Miss Justice then took the initiative to suggest Mr. A, so he took the opportunity to suggest that Mr. A assassinate the ambassador.

Due to his identity as The Fool, he couldn't explain too much.

So it all depends on other people's imagination.

The Hanged Man's usual godly assistance also elevated the matter to the level of a game of 'God'.

From the current perspective, this matter should be stable.

"but……"

Klein sighed softly. It was not enough to just find someone to assassinate the ambassador.

After all, the ambassador might still send someone to kill him before he actually succeeds.

Therefore, he had to find himself a bodyguard with enough weight.

……

"boom!"

As soon as Alger regained consciousness, he heard the sound of whistling wind in his ears.

His expression darkened and he immediately realized that there was danger outside.

After a brief hesitation, Alger rushed out of the captain's room as soon as possible.

As a result, as soon as he stepped onto the deck, his expression froze on his face and his eyes twitched.

Because he saw the three silver knights summoned by Embers standing on the side of the ship, taking out large arrows as big as iron spears from somewhere and putting them on the dragon hunting bows, shooting wildly at a sailboat in the distance.

The whistling sound of the wind he heard was the sound made when the bowstring was pulled to shoot.

Alger silently took out his telescope and looked over.

The battered sailboat had already taken on a lot of water and was now more than half sunk.

Even next to the sailboat, you can see a lot of debris, so it is obvious that this is not the first "shipwreck".

Ok.

There was danger, but it wasn't from them.

"Snapped!"

Alger heard footsteps behind him and turned around subconsciously.

Then he saw Yu Jin had come to the deck at some point, looking at the sailboat in the distance and speaking thoughtfully.

"The ships..."

"Don't worry."

Alger seemed to see what Yu Jin was thinking and explained, "This is already the edge of the Rorsted Sea. Cruise ships and merchant ships will not appear here, let alone take this route. The only ones who will appear here are other pirates."

"Do not."

Yu Jin shook his head and said calmly, "I mean, can you drive the boat to those ships first? I need to recover the dragon hunting arrows on them."

Every time you use a dragon hunting arrow, it becomes one less, so it is better to recycle it if possible.

"..."

Alger's eye twitched.

I thought you were worried about whether innocent people would be killed, but it turns out you are concerned about whether these arrows can be recycled?

and also--

Alger glanced at the Silver Knight who was pulling out arrows as big as iron spears from behind his buttocks. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out where they got these arrows from.

It wouldn't take much time to retrieve the arrows.

So Alger readily met Yu Jin's request and made a fortune from those fresh shipwrecks.

After doing all this, they finally set sail for the pristine island. When they were on the safe channel, the sea was calm.

However, two miles outside the safe channel, it was a completely different scene.

There were layers of dark clouds, pressing down very low.

One could even spot actual hurricanes raging back and forth, covering an unknown amount of sea.

Under the illumination of silver-white lightning, fine rainstorms danced with the wind.

From time to time, thick and long tentacles suddenly stretched out from the sea swept by strong winds into the sky, and at the same time, a tsunami was rolled up.

It was like a doomsday scene!
And this is why Alger is confident that no one except him can find the island—

Because they need to sail for six full hours in this doomsday-like sea area surrounded by sea monsters lurking and storms before they can reach their destination!

Even if you are familiar with the route, you may still be sunk by a sea monster attack.

So even for Alger, every visit to this island was like a risk of his life.

"We have to be careful next time."

Controlling the ghost ship to a route he was familiar with, Alger warned Yu Jin beside him, "We may be attacked by sea monsters at any time..."

Before he finished speaking, the roar of artillery fire rang in their ears.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The cannon on the port side of the Blue Avenger was unmanned, but it fired dozens of shells in an instant, hitting a sea monster with a huge octopus head not far away, which was waving its tentacles at them with ill intentions.

The octopus felt a pain in its head, let out a roar like a hiss, and then shrank back into the seabed.

"Like I said."

Alger took a deep breath and shook his head, "It's very dangerous here. We must stay alert at all times."

Alger was also somewhat relieved in his heart.

Fortunately, this is a ghost ship and does not require sailors to operate it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to cross this sea area intact by himself.

of course.

Alger glanced at the embers beside him without leaving a trace.

Embers can also be considered a second layer of insurance.

The three Silver Knights he summoned alone had abilities that could at least rival Sequence 6 or even Sequence 5.

As for Sequence 4?

That was already the realm of demigod, and he didn't think these silver knights had that kind of strength.

"Do you need help?"

Ember suddenly asked.

"No, not yet."

Alger shook his head and said with a smile, "You can't waste those big arrows, right? I can't help you recover them in this sea area. I'd better do it myself."

"it is good."

Yu Jin nodded slightly when he heard this, but did not force it.

In fact, Alger also had his own plans.

Although it was a deal, he exchanged the island coordinates for Ember's help.

But Alger knew that he had to demonstrate a certain value—

If Yu Jin has to do everything, then what is the point of him?
Although this time there are two of them traveling together.

But if he seemed too much of a hindrance, the embers might just bypass him next time.

This is not a good thing.

Therefore, he must demonstrate sufficient value.

This will ensure that Ember will take him with him the next time he comes.

"Boom! Boom!"

There was another round of continuous shooting, and dozens of shells once again forced back an aggressive sea monster.

But Alger did not feel relieved at all. Instead, he became tense.

Although the Blue Avenger is a ghost ship and can carry more shells without the need for sailors, no matter how many shells there are, they will all be used up eventually.

If we continue at this frequency, we will still be able to reach the original island safely, but what should we do on the return journey?

Alger subconsciously touched his pocket, where he found a few marine life affinity charms.

These spells will prevent the sea monsters from attempting to attack the Blue Avenger.

But these spells are just options.

It’s not that the talisman is not useful, it’s just that it’s expensive.

That's why he chose to use cheaper shells first.

But if we continue like this, even if we use up all these talismans, we may not be able to guarantee safety.

Until then, it will still be up to Yu Jin to take action.

Embers' actions will definitely ensure safety, this is a fact that has been verified by the Silver Knights.

But Alger didn't want to go that far anyway.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to do an experiment."

Yu Jin looked at a sea monster that was attacking again in the distance and suddenly said.

Alger was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Go ahead."

He was ready to fire, but since Ember needed him, he could wait.

and.

He was also very curious about what experiment Yu Jin wanted to do.

The next second, Yu Jin took out an object from somewhere.

Alger looked carefully and found that it was a skull emitting a faint light.

Then he saw Ember walk to the stern of the ship and throw the skull far away with force.

"..."

Alger hesitated to speak.

He thought the skull was some kind of magical item, but you just threw it away so casually.

Didn’t you say we were going to do an experiment?
What is this experiment?
Just as he was wondering, Alger suddenly heard the roar of a sea monster next to his ear.

I looked over subconsciously and found that countless tentacles suddenly extended from the sea around the ship.

Several sea monsters with huge eyeballs emerged from the bottom of the sea. They ignored the ghost ship that was close at hand and instead rushed towards a certain direction of the stern like crazy.

And that direction was exactly where Yu Jin threw the skull.

“It really works.”

Ember stroked his chin, thinking.

[Enemy's skull]

[A skull stained with the scent of soul.]

An item bestowed by the mentor of the Deep Church.

When thrown and broken, it will fly everywhere.

It can lure nearby enemies closer.

But it doesn't work on all enemies. 】

If it were on land, the effect of luring the enemy's skull would not be so obvious.

But at sea, its range of action is unexpectedly large, and even sea monsters a mile away are attracted by it.

of course.

It may also be that these sea monsters have a better sense of smell.

"That skull can attract sea monsters?"

Alger immediately realized the function of the skull, but subconsciously came up with a bold idea—

Since it can attract sea monsters, can it be used to harm people?
For example, tying skulls to arrows and shooting them at other pirates' ships.

Could that be a way to lure sea monsters into attacking other pirate ships?

This thought only lasted for a moment, but Alger quickly put it out of his mind. Instead, he began to control the ghost ship to speed up and escape from the sea.

There are so many sea monsters around, who knows if they will suddenly turn around and attack the Blue Avenger?

It’s better to leave quickly while they are attracted by the skull.
