Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 563: Pirate Country Manlak

Turning people into beasts...

Hearing this, Li Miao couldn't help but fall silent.

It is not difficult to hear from the old Sith's words that he does not actually have that much hatred towards the other people in Reneton.

Old Sith also understood that in such a desperate situation of scarce resources, neither the nobles nor the rebels could maintain any human courtesy and morals.

Only when the granaries are full do people know etiquette.

"I'm sorry for making you think of these things again..." Li Miao said apologetically.

"It's nothing, don't take it to heart." Old Sith waved his hand and took another puff of his cigar: "This is my story. Is there anything else you want to know?"

Upon hearing this, Li Miao nodded, and then asked the other cremation crew members at the gambling table.

The old Sith has more experience and knows the crew members better, but these crew members don’t actually have any very special stories. They were all recruited by Zered when he later roamed various dark areas.

Moreover, because their own life fire is not strong enough, their memories are also fading.

"If you want to know about the captain's life before he founded the fleet, it would be best to ask him himself, or ask Fryer."

"After all, on the ship, Friar is the only one who has been with the captain since the beginning. His seniority is older than anyone else."

"As for Iota and Kefulo...if you are interested in their affairs, you can go and ask them, but it is better to bring something they are interested in."

"Iota is interested in collections and history, but Kefro... it's easy. You just have to fight her or give her a good weapon."

Old Sis gave Li Miao a lot of suggestions, and Li Miao took note of them carefully.

After saying goodbye to the old Sith.

Li Miao quickly found Friel on the deck.

This deputy captain was not only taciturn, but also performed his duties very seriously. Even during his rest time, he would carefully observe the situation on the deck.

Li Miao greeted him, but he just nodded and seemed to have no desire to talk.

Fortunately, Li Miao still has some social skills. Even if the other person is taciturn, he can still start a conversation.

The two chatted casually, but Flair seemed to have noticed his purpose, so he said simply and directly: "What do you want to ask?"

Li Miao was stunned when he heard this, but he did not feel embarrassed. He then said that he wanted to know some stories about him and Zered before the moment of extinction.

After hearing this, Freyr was silent for a moment and then began to tell the story.

Of course, his words were still concise, condensed and refined.

However, Li Miao did not hesitate to ask questions, and although Fryer did not want to talk much, he still answered all the questions.

original.

Before the Hour of Extinction, Freyr and Zered were both members of Manlak's private fleet, making a living by plundering enemy countries.

That's right, Manlak, a maritime archipelago country that is keen on trade and plunder, its coins have appeared in the [Kasa City-State] and [Gales Swamp], which shows how widespread its traces are.

This maritime country is also significantly different from other countries. Its poor resource conditions, loose alliance of island city-states, and critical location on sea routes have led to the emergence of various private fleets, either for trade, exploration, or plunder.

But as the saying goes, killing and arson are worth the gold belt. For the sake of wealth and survival, most of Manlak's fleets will more or less make some "extra money".

Therefore, the country of Manrak has only one specialty, that is, pirates, and therefore it is called the country of pirates.

It was in a privateering fleet in Manlak that Zerred and Freyr met.

Zered is cheerful and generous, while Freyr is taciturn. They are both capable and have a strong sense of justice, and are both good players on the fleet.

If they had not refused to do things the fleet did not want to do at certain times, they might have been able to be promoted faster. But it didn't matter, they still received the "appreciation" of the captain at that time.

Soon, they were assigned to "earn extra money".

And this so-called extra money was earned by secretly going to a town in a neighboring country to kill a sea turtle named "Antusai".

Actually, this was nothing. Not to mention turtles, they had both caught whales and poached a lot of banned species from noble lords. After all, under Manlak's conditions, if they didn't do it, they would not be able to survive and could only wait to starve to death.

But Zered soon discovered something was wrong.

The turtle, Antuse, has a special connection with the residents of the nearby town.

Antuse was troubled by some barnacles, and a resident near the town offered him help and did not attack them even when food was scarce.

The turtle Antusei quickly expressed his gratitude to the town by bringing in large quantities of fish every once in a while.

Because of this, Antuse and the town have formed a very special relationship.

If Zerred and Fryer hunted it, the town would lose an important food source, which would inevitably lead to retaliation from the town.

Zered and Fryer soon realized something was wrong.

Let’s not talk about how unethical this matter is.

Even if you consider it from your own perspective, you absolutely cannot do this.

Because the turtle Antuse is very important and it may cause a war if we are not careful.

But will the captain fight for the two of them?

Certainly not.

So...this isn't about letting them make extra money, this is about letting them be used as toilet paper and be thrown away after use!
After some discussion, the angry Zered and Freyr finally chose to escape.

After all, whether they join the fleet or make extra money, they are ultimately just trying to survive.

If you get involved in this horrific conflict, you will definitely die without leaving any trace.

But Zered couldn't bear to do it in the end.

He couldn't just sit there and watch the turtle Antuse being hunted.

So he turned back and reported the incident in an attempt to prevent the tragedy.

But the reality is cruel.

Instead of being believed, they were detained, and the turtle Antuse was still hunted and made into jewelry.

Although some people in the town came to their senses after Antusei's death and secretly released the two of them, unfortunately, they were still caught while escaping.

The unkind neighboring country was not as tough as they imagined. Instead, it sent the two of them back to Manlak in order to calm the conflict.

The subsequent outcome is predictable.

In anger and despair, Zerred and Fryer were locked in an iron cage and sank to the bottom of the sea...

This was their story before they formed the Cremation Ship Corps.

The subsequent story is the part that neither Zered nor Freyr can mention.

"Thank you for telling me this, Flair." Li Miao thanked.

"No need to thank me." Fryer shook his head and said bluntly, "In exchange, I hope you can help us keep an eye out for a way to lift the curse or completely destroy the Cremation."
