Chapter 255: New Captain of the Magic Ship (Added for If There Were No Ifs-dA)

A few days later,

Siren Harbor!

It was another sunny day with no clouds in the sky, but a fog was moving over the sea, followed by several pirate ships.

A militiaman on the watchtower saw this scene. The scene of the pirate attack some time ago was replayed in his mind. He rang the bronze bell almost as if he was electrocuted.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding!

The rapid ringing of bells echoed in the Siren Harbor, causing the originally peaceful people to fall into the fear of being dominated by pirates again. Countless people fled in panic, causing great chaos.

Fortunately, the security team led by Grand Knight Thor took to the streets again to maintain order and evacuate the crowd.

But what no one expected was that this time, the Mage Tower did not light up, nor did it show any intention of taking action.

Until the fog approached and dispersed, a magic warship slowly turned sideways, the gangway was lowered, and one by one the lion knights strode out of it.

Then, a moment later, a piece of news spread out like a hurricane.

The Mist Pirates were destroyed, and their proud magic warship was also taken into the possession of the Raymond family.

Davis, one of the three pirate kings of the Silver Sea, the one-eyed man who could stop children from crying, died just like that!

And all of this was accomplished by the new Lion King who led the troops himself!

To be honest, when the news first spread, no one believed it and thought it was an exaggeration.

If the new Earl was really that powerful, he wouldn't have adopted the defensive strategy before!

But as more and more knights gave vivid descriptions, and merchant sailors shared their personal experiences, even on the coast, the bodies of pirates were impaled on crosses and hung...

They have to believe it!

Then, no one knew who started it, but cheers were heard throughout the entire Siren Harbor.

They chanted the name of 'Lion King Loyi', starting from a few scattered ones to countless people joining in, from endlessly emerging to being in unison.

They stamped their feet and patted their chests, with no trace of concealment on their faces of fanaticism and excitement, as if they could shake the earth and shock the sky.

Luo Yi stood at the highest point of the Mage Tower. He opened the window and let the strong wind and the sound waves pour into his ears.

He opened his arms involuntarily, as if he was enjoying the cheers of the crowd, and his body was trembling slightly.

But in fact, only he himself knew that after the influx of the power of unity, his [Lion King] was once again greatly stimulated and grew at an extremely exaggerated speed.

The dark golden blood of the golden lion was like a vine, climbing along the blood vessels, and growing faster and faster amidst waves of cheers.

In the back, more golden lion blood actually seeped into the blood vessels, as if seeping into the gaps between cells, undergoing a deeper fusion.

Of course, the so-called fast and slow actually depends on who you are comparing with.

Compared to the normal speed of cultivation, this kind of progress is definitely extremely fast.

But don't forget that the length of the human body's blood vessels, including arteries, veins and capillaries, is about 96,000 kilometers.

That’s 96,000 kilometers of blood vessels. The loss required to cover it all is unimaginable!

However, it is worth mentioning that the eight thickest and strongest blood vessels extending from the heart are almost completely covered.

In fact, Luo Yi can guide the spread of the golden lion's blood to a certain extent.

After realizing that full coverage was impossible to achieve in a short period of time, he began to think about how to maximize profits.

After much thought, he decided to guide the growth independently and complete the eight blood vessels extending from the heart.

By then, he would have to be at least at the level of [Lion King LV3 (99/100)], and his blood vessels' tolerance to fighting spirit would certainly be greatly increased.

When the cheers finally came to an end, the strongest power of faith also receded like a tide.

Luo Yi opened his eyes and felt a little lost in his heart, but when he looked down, he saw a group of militiamen erecting a cross.

The pirate corpses above all had their heads hung low, their eyes wide open, as if they had died with their eyes open.

Luo Yi couldn't help but turn around, looked at Iron Knight Phil, and asked, "Is this necessary?"

"It's not that I care about these pirates, but I think doing this might breed the plague!"

Before the Iron Knight Phil could reply, the Mage Walter said immediately, "My Lord Earl, don't worry!

All corpses have been processed by us, so there will be no plague, and it is impossible for them to be controlled by magicians such as necromancers, so safety is guaranteed."

Walter was very excited at this moment, and he seemed to be immersed in an atmosphere called happiness and couldn't extricate himself.

So much so that his teacher, Ms. Palacios, couldn't help but roll her eyes to the sky when she heard him interrupt.

Iron Knight Phil smiled and said, "Master, we know you are kind and would not do this.

But in reality, pirates are a bunch of thugs who bully the weak and fear the strong, and only care about food and not about punishment."

"They fear our power but not our virtue. The only way we can deter them is to demonstrate sufficient strength, bare our fangs, and show our ferocity."

"Believe me, if the coastline of Flower Territory is covered with pirate corpses, no pirate group will dare to attack us again."

Luo Yi is not someone who refuses to listen to advice. What's more, Iron Knight Phil understands the rules of pirates better than him.

So, he nodded and said, "Since you are so sure, let's do as you say!"

As he said this, he looked at the three fourth-level natural disasters and said, "After we deal with the Mist Pirates, we in Flower Territory should be able to have some peace for a while.

You have all been busy with me and fighting endlessly during this period, so I naturally cannot fail to express my gratitude."

"Needless to say, I promised you all before. Besides that, I will give you an extra 10%."

Seeing that they were about to speak, Luo Yi waved his hand again and said, "It's not that I don't want to give more, but your cultivation needs are already excessive. Now adding 10% is the limit.

Once the territory develops and magical machinery becomes widespread, all of this will be nothing."

"If you have any urgent needs, you can also tell me. I have some connections in the Habsburg Empire."

Luo Yi said this with absolute sincerity. From the moment he entered the Norman Duchy, these fourth-level people were really making an effort.

Therefore, he really wanted to give more benefits.

After a pause, he looked at Walter again and said uncertainly, "Master Walter, is it really okay for me to hand over my magic warship to you?"

Walter patted his chest and said, “Absolutely no problem!”

Roy naturally had no regrets about killing Davis, but he did encounter a lot of trouble afterwards.

The simplest thing is, how to make this magic ship move?

As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. Ms. Palacios felt helpless when facing this magic ship. She was proficient in water spells and potions, but other things were not her strong points.

Until Walter stood up!

He is good at magic runes and can talk about it very clearly, but when he actually puts it into practice, he seems very unfamiliar with it.

The result was that several accidental touches caused the magic warship to go crazy on the sea.

Sometimes it moves as slowly as a turtle, sometimes it flies quickly, sometimes it dives directly into the water, and sometimes it is completely shrouded in fog and it is impossible to tell the direction.

In short, it is really not easy to drive this ship to Siren Port.

Therefore, after hearing Walter's assurance, Luo Yi was really a little scared. He couldn't help but ask again: "New captain of the magic ship, can I give you more trust?"

The words were directed to Walter, but Chloe's eyes turned to Ms. Palacios.

This lady always looked like she was living a peaceful life, but at this moment, facing Luo Yi's question, she gave a helpless smile and nodded seriously!

There is no way. Although the magic warship is not as good as the wizard tower, the element pool inside is also indispensable.

Only with the help of the elemental pool can a third-level extraordinary wizard quickly accumulate magic power and have the opportunity to break through to the fourth level.

This is certainly not absolute, but it at least increases the possibility by 30%. Which mage would not be tempted?

For this reason, what does it matter if I drift on the sea every day?

It was for this reason that, even though she knew her disciple was a bit stubborn, she had no choice but to stand up for him.

After receiving Ms. Palacios's affirmation, Roy no longer hesitated.

"I promise to complete the mission. Wherever the Earl's sword points, that's the direction I'll move forward."

"Then I'll leave this ship to you. You must learn how to steer it as quickly as possible.

After that, I will equip you with a batch of the latest magic cannons, the fourth generation ones.

If necessary, you will be the fire output part."

"I will definitely live up to my mission!"

"That's good!"

After a pause, Luo Yi continued, "I will arrange for people to count the gold coins and treasures on the pirate ship. As for the information we found, it must not be made known to anyone."

"yes!"

Otto asked again, "How many days does the Patriarch plan to stay in Siren Harbor?"

"Stay for another two or three days, take care of some business, and rest up, then you have to go back."

Just then, there was a knock on the door!

Everyone's gaze converged, and Ms. Palacios whispered, "It's Grand Knight Commander Thor!"

She waved her hand, the door opened, and Knight Commander Thor strode in.

He looked around and immediately came to Luo Yi, handed him a letter, and said, "My Lord, this is a letter from Grand Duchess Aphra to you. I sent it to you as fast as I could. I dare not delay."

Luo Yi took it, glanced at the letter, and opened it after making sure that there was no problem.

However, after a quick glance, his expression became even stranger.

The third update is here!
