Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws

"We still met, Lu En. This is our first official meeting."

In the naval headquarters, Lugard sat in the rear-admiral's exclusive chair. The surging spiritual value in his body made people breathless.

He was wearing a neat white navy uniform, and his body was as straight as a pine tree.

His sharp eyes were fixed on Lu En, as if he was inspecting the chess pieces he had carefully prepared.

Lu En's gaze did not escape at all, but returned to greet him.

The real Lugard is slightly different from the portrait of him five years ago in the gallery.

Compared to the high-spirited him five years ago, Luke is now thinner, calmer, and older.

The aura on his body has become much calmer than before.

But he is like a sharp sword covered in blood. Even if it is sheathed, it can still exude a terrifying evil spirit.

At the same time, it also makes people worry about what kind of terror it will bring when the sword is unsheathed again.

When Rune first met Lugard on the naval ship, he was still weak and could not detect the strength of the other person from his aura.

Coupled with the fact that Lugard deliberately restrained himself at that time, Lu En had no understanding of Lugard.

But now Lugard showed everything about himself in front of Rune almost without reservation.

Divinity. Divinity. Still divinity.!

Rune was able to detect at least five kinds of divinity in Lugard.

And the richness of these divinities is hundreds of times richer than the "Key of Rot" that you obtained!

In his current state, he hardly resembles a human being, more like a strange object!

If there really was such a strange object in the world, it would probably have caused countless extraordinary beings to fight for it.

Taking a deep breath, Lu En did not reply directly to Lugard's words. Instead, he placed the wooden sign on the table in front of him, "What you want from your mentor."

Lugard held the wooden sign in his hand, played with it carefully, and then said: "It seems that you have a strong opinion on me. If you had the ability, I'm afraid you would have taken out your destiny to kill me by now."

"Of course." Lu En did not hide this at all.

"Hmm. This is also a normal thing. If you think about it from your perspective, if it were me, I would have the same thoughts as you." Luke said quietly, "My destiny is in the hands of others, and I am treated as a pawn. It is true. It doesn’t feel good, cough cough.”

Lugard coughed suddenly and covered his mouth and nose with a silk scarf. A large amount of black blood was stained on it, and his face suddenly turned pale.

But he didn't care, he just carefully wiped every trace of blood from the corners of his mouth, and then placed the wooden sign on his chest.

His originally rapid breathing improved a lot in an instant.

He calmed down and said to Lu En: "But you are indeed beyond my expectation. You were originally just a little pirate used by Chris' men to 'invest'. Who knew that you would grow at such a speed along the way?" So fast.”

"I admit that I am involved in every action you take, but the outcome of the mission is achieved by your own hands."

"For example, this time, I wrote a letter of recommendation to my mentor, but with his character, he will never accept you easily. Armand will definitely contribute a lot in this."

"I had no hope that you could become my junior brother, but the fact is that you do have this qualification, and you should also have this qualification."

"You are an outstanding guy. Considering that you are my junior brother, I am willing to say these words to you and express my due apology to you."

"But please understand me, I don't mean to target you and kill you, but at the right time, when I need a demanding chess piece the most, you happened to appear in front of me. All of this It’s like fate, you know?”

After talking so much, Lugard became obviously tired.

Lu En looked at Lugard at this time with a somewhat complicated mood.

Perhaps it was because of his change in identity, or perhaps the major general wanted to use this to stabilize himself and prevent his plan from unintended consequences.

In any case, he actually saw a trace of sincerity in Lugard's eyes.

"Why do you insist on killing Hydra?" At this time, Lu En finally asked his doubts, "With your strength and status, to put it bluntly, even if the war broke out ten or twenty years ago, you would still It won’t be affected in any way. It doesn’t seem necessary for you to kill Hydra.”

"That's true." Lugard agreed. "For me personally, whether Hydra dies or not doesn't mean much, but for Belloberg, it means a lot!"

Speaking of this, his tone was extremely firm, and it seemed that nothing could shake it.

"It is said that the territory of the empire spans five oceans and seven seas, but that was the original empire. What about the current empire? The princes are divided and have two minds. As the principal force closest to Hydra, Beloberg When the snake wakes up, we will bear the brunt.”

"As for the fragile Belloberg, we don't know what the consequences will be after it is hit."

“Rather than sit back and wait, it’s better to take the initiative.”

"Of course, there is also my selfishness in this."

"Belloberg means a lot to me. I promised one person that I would protect this place, and I will never break my promise, even if it costs me my own life."

"Lu En, my junior brother, you will understand in the future. Everyone has some reasons that make you risk your life, and you save your life just to wait for that day."

At this point, Lugard's eyes were filled with sadness.

After a moment, he calmed down and took out a document and handed it to Rune.

"[Black Tower] and [Between Life and Death] have rebuilt the formation in Beloberg, and you can continue your practice here."

"In the name of the Navy Command, I have assigned you to the special operations team to be responsible for some special matters."

"According to the plan, there are still forty days to prepare."

"But my father's move, coupled with my worsening condition, now I can only give you the last thirty days, ahem"

"After thirty days, the plan will start anyway."

Rune walked out of the Navy Command, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

As Brother Armand said, Rune and Lugard have different positions, but the same goals.

The purpose of the two is actually Hydra.

It's just that Lugard's ambition is greater and his actions are more crazy.

"Thirty days? It's really urgent."

Although Rune did not change his indifferent attitude towards Lugard, as a person in the game, he had no room to retreat.

All he could do was to become stronger again within thirty days!

With a heavy heart, Rune walked along the familiar road towards the alchemy workshop.

The current Beloberg City has entered a first-level wartime state.

The appearance of the loving father and the "shattering" of the world have dealt a serious blow to Beloberg's business, agriculture, and fisheries.

In the city, all guards have been dispatched to check for believers who may be lurking in the city.

Outside the city, all the naval formations of Beloberg are shrinking inward, giving up control of some territories, and making solid defenses to meet the potential impact of monsters.

"Don't move, raise your hands!"

Rune entered an alley, and suddenly a vague voice came from behind him.

At the same time, it seemed that a sharp weapon was against his back.

Rune was shocked. He was still wearing a lieutenant colonel's naval uniform. Who was so blind to rob him in the city?

And the other party was so silent.

He pretended to raise his hands, then narrowed his eyes, turned around, and kicked suddenly!

But the man behind him had disappeared without a trace.

The faint breath reappeared behind him in an instant!

Destiny appeared in Rune's hands. When he was about to shoot, the figure passed over his head and then hugged Rune on his back.

"Haha, Captain, I caught you!"

Little Carter stretched his head from behind, made a grimace, and then smiled slyly.

"Pirate Carter, do you know what the crime of molesting the captain is?" Rune put away Destiny, stared at Little Carter for a while, and was secretly shocked.

After just one month of not seeing each other, Little Carter has changed a lot.

She has grown a little taller, her voice has changed a little, her face has become more stern, and a scar makes her look like a standard face of "stay away from strangers".

The most important thing is that her breath has changed greatly.

"Hehe, Captain, you still have the nerve to say me, you have been away for a month, I miss you so much!"

Facing Rune's "threat", Little Carter was not afraid at all, but rubbed Rune's hair with his head again, and then squinted happily.

As for Little Carter who refused to leave his back, Rune had no choice but to carry her step by step towards the alchemy workshop.

At the same time, Little Carter's faceplate appeared in his eyes.

——

[Name]: Carter

[Path]: Sequence 8. Shadow Cat (Lv.6)

[Spiritual Value]: 1100/1200

[Features (Shadow)]: Blend with the dark night, increase agility, speed, reaction speed, weapon penetration, and reduce defense

[Features (Cat)]: A clever cat with nine lives. When dying, it recovers

[Features (Invisible)]: Enter the invisible state and is difficult to detect

[Ability (Shadow Escape)]: Blend into the shadow, quickly move (?) meters, cooling time (?)

[Ability (Backstab)]: After activation, it can shadow escape to the back of the enemy, activation distance (?) meters, cooling time (?)

[Ability (Substitute)]: Activate the substitute and avoid attacks

[Life Value]: 1000——

Seeing the panel of little Carter, Rune was very relieved. The little guy really succeeded in advancing to the sequence within a month of his absence.

It is not in vain to leave a large amount of gold coins for them.

But when Rune saw the panel, he was more devastated.

Ever since he picked up Little Carter, Rune had already discovered some clues.

Compared to himself, Little Carter seemed to be the real "chosen one"!

Without the advanced sequence, he could have spirituality and special abilities.

After the advancement, just by eating and sleeping, he could greatly increase his spirituality.

Sequence 9 Shadow Dancer is already a very exaggerated sequence.

Especially invisibility, and enhanced weapons that can cut hair.

Now promoted to Sequence 8 Shadow Cat, he suddenly has so many abilities and characteristics.

Rune's peeping eyes can't even detect it completely.

From the beginning of the fight with Little Carter, she is simply better than him in terms of sensitivity.

If she hadn't practiced physical skills in the black tower, she wouldn't have had much room to fight back just now.

If we talk about Little Carter's shortcomings, it may be weak defense.

But she has "invisibility", "nine lives" and "substitute".

The life value is as high as one thousand!

With a life value of one thousand, even those strong in Sequence 7 only have two or three hundred.

At this moment, Lu En feels like the "Grandpa Ring" in the story, responsible for accompanying the real protagonist as he grows up.

After walking a few steps, we arrived at the alchemy workshop.

Drunk Lysa was disheveled, and her large white short-sleeves were draped loosely around her body. The big eyes of some small animal printed on the short-sleeves flickered with her movements.

Seeing Rune, Lysa approached him first, and the smell of grapefruit wine filled the air.

She blushed slightly, stared at Lu En with slightly intelligent eyes, then tilted her head and gave Lu En a strong hug.

The plump flesh flowed into Rune's arms.

After she was done, she laughed twice with satisfaction, then fell asleep again and fell on the bed.

The explosive figure was exposed in front of Rune without any cover.

Rune sighed and looked at the bottles and cans in the room. Needless to say, after having a lot of gold coins, Lysa's drinking never stopped.

However, in addition to wine bottles, there are a lot of alchemy equipment added to the house.

Rune took a closer look and found that they were all things that could be used on the warship!

These include highly refined alloys, a large number of weapons, shields, and muskets. Boxes that can store a large number of things, a large freezer for refrigeration, and thick ropes with alchemical patterns.

Almost everything that can be used on the ship has been refined over and over again.

After checking Lysa's aura, she also successfully advanced to Sequence 8, even a level higher than Little Carter.

[Path]: Sequence 8. Firesmith (lv.7)!

[Characteristic (Fire of the Furnace)]: Controls a trace of fire from the God of Furnace and Fire, and can use it to build equipment or kill enemies.

[Characteristics (Alcoholic)]: When tipsy, all abilities increase (30%)

Lu En scratched his head, this characteristic was a bit outrageous.

But no matter what, the progress of the two of them is enough to prove that during Lu En's absence, they practiced very hard.

Little Carter jumped off Luen's back and covered Lysa with the quilt.

Then he leaned close to Rune and said softly: "Captain, Lysa said that she is also ready to embark on a journey with us in the future."

She pointed to the things around her, "Look at these things, she hasn't slept much recently. They all said that they can be used when we have a warship in the future."

Rune glanced at the sleeping Lysa and nodded slightly.

Speaking of which, as the "captain", even if Lysa is included, there are only three people in the fleet now!

Not even a boat!

Somewhat ashamed

But these are not big things.

Just wait thirty days for everything to settle here.

After two days of resting in the house, little Carter was extremely happy.

She hugged Lu En even when she slept. The thirty days apart from Lu En were extremely difficult for her.

Rune also took a short rest. He drank wine, read battle reports, and refined some things with Lysa.

The days are a bit carefree.

Until the third day, an uninvited guest came to the door.

Wearing a black round hat and a black cane, the visitor took off his hat and placed it on his chest, smiling and bowing slightly.

"Long time no see, Rune Graves."

"Kind regards from your wonderful partners."

"Major General Lugard, let me bring you a mission, which is also an 'opportunity' he carefully selected for you."

"A share of treasure from the bottom of the sea."
