The abnormality in the spirit world corresponding to the Raging Sea was caused by the death of the God of Death... It is said that the remains and belongings of this god are hidden somewhere in this sea area, waiting for someone to open it with a specific key... This copper whistle originated from Mr. Azik, and Mr. Azik is definitely a direct descendant of the God of Death, and belongs to the previous one or two generations... So, what did this copper whistle sense just now, or was affected by something? Klein's mind quickly flashed through a series of messages, and he combined them together to get a preliminary guess.
He planned to find a hotel in Hakata Port, book a room, go above the gray fog, and use "dream divination" to try to get some insights, and then consider the time and method of returning to Eskosen Port to avoid encountering avoidable accidents on the way.
Until then, he had to find food for his "creeping hunger."
Walking down the cliff by the sea, Klein entered the Port of Hakata.
The buildings here seem to be built wherever they can be thought of, with almost no planning, so that some roads are very wide, while others are so narrow that only people can walk on them. If you look up, you can't see the sky, but only large areas of clothes waiting to dry.
Klein, with a new face, strolled in this environment, among many passers-by dressed as pirates, and habitually wanted to go to places like taverns to look for prey.
Just at this moment, he saw a lot of people gathered around the bulletin board in the small square ahead.
What's going on? Klein moved closer with a little curiosity. Relying on the balance and agility of the "clown", he passed through the gap between the crowd and barely squeezed to a place where he could see the notice board.
On that notice board, there was a piece of paper that was very overbearing, covering up all the rest, making it visible to everyone at a glance.
Its header reads:
"The 'Black Emperor' is recruiting crew members."
"Black Emperor"? Isn't this the ship that "King of the Five Seas" Nast has that can travel through the spirit world? This pirate king in a sense would actually publicly recruit crew members? Klein deliberately whispered in surprise:
"How is that possible?"
"Why not?" A strong man with his sleeves rolled up beside him laughed out loud, "It was impossible before, but now it's possible!"
"Why?" Klein was waiting for someone to talk to him, so he turned his head and asked.
The sturdy man had dark blue tattoos on his arms, forearms, and cheeks, and looked very ferocious. Hearing this, he pointed in the direction of the main channel and said:
"A week ago, the Black Emperor encountered the steam ironclad ship Pritz that Rune had been promoting so much. A naval battle broke out and many people died on the Black Emperor. They urgently need to replenish their manpower!"
Huh? Klein's first reaction was that this wasn't mysticism.
According to the content published in the newspapers and the rumors he heard at sea, he knew that the "Pritz" was a giant warship and cannon in the normal sense, without any extraordinary factors. Perhaps in terms of physical destructive power, it would be stronger than the "Black Emperor", but the latter could "jump" with the help of the spiritual world, just like a large-sized "Traveler", and could not be harmed by conventional thermal weapons at all.
Moreover, Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", should be a Sequence 3 demigod of the "Black Emperor" path. He is the most famous and powerful man on the sea. He can directly distort the trajectory of artillery shells and is almost invincible when encountering non-mystical fleets.
In Klein's opinion, the two were not enemies of the same level, but the final result was not what he imagined.
He did not hide his surprise and asked:
"And the Pritzker?"
The fierce man shook his head and replied:
"I'm not too sure, but I heard there wasn't much damage, only two frigates were sunk."
This... Klein was stunned at first, but then he began to understand what had happened.
He recalled the situation when they stole the mummy of Tutankhamun II. The demigod of the military had used the "law" of "mysterious weakening of reality and enhancement". Once this took effect, the "Black Emperor", a sailing battleship that was a bit special and a bit unconventional, would certainly not be able to defeat an ironclad ship, nor could it withstand the attack, nor could it escape.
From another perspective, this also means that there is a military demigod on the "Pritz", otherwise such a "law" would not be effective.
Being able to allow the Black Emperor to escape under such circumstances, the strength of the "King of the Five Seas" Nast can be said to be very strong. Below the angels, he is definitely one of the top ones... It seems that it is precisely because of the existence of the "Arbitrator" path that the development trajectory of this world's army will be closer to that of the Earth, so as not to be unable to deal with higher-level mysteries... Klein nodded in realization and did not ask any more questions.
As for Extraordinary beings below Sequence 4, in large-scale hot battles, except for a small number of professions that can take on strong output and carry out effective defense, the rest have to avoid the front and exist as a "decapitation squad" or simply provide assistance, like the "Puppet Master". If the puppets are fully equipped, the Extraordinary beings of the middle sequence are really not afraid of anyone in a one-on-one battle. However, once they are on the battlefield and are covered by artillery shells and strafed by machine guns, the fragility of their bodies will be exposed. Even with "paper doll substitutes", they often cannot jump out of the fire range and have to bear secondary damage - in that case, it may be too late to use the paper dolls again.
In this kind of hot battle, the most useful mid-series should be "Wrathful Spirit". It is basically not afraid of artillery fire and bullets, and will not be discovered by the enemy. It can also use "Scream" to directly affect large targets... When Klein's thoughts were a little scattered, the sturdy man who had just spoken took the initiative to speak:
"You also want to join the 'Black Emperor'?"
“…Still hesitating.” Klein replied casually.
The sturdy man with dark tattoos all over his arms said excitedly:
“Anyway, I’m going to give it a try.
“There are no more than ten people here who can fight better than me. I also have plenty of experience as a pirate, so they will definitely take a liking to me!
"However, I won't stay on the 'Black Emperor' for too long. There are too many meaningless rules there. You can only rob, and you are not allowed to kill people who don't resist. You can't drag a woman aside just because she agrees to a deal. Listen, listen. Is this still pirate-like? Although the 'King of the Five Seas' is one of the four kings and is a recognized pirate king, the rules he set are simply, simply, shit!
"I'm used to the life of a real pirate, I like it very much and I won't change! I just heard that the crew of the 'Black Emperor' may have extraordinary powers, so I want to join them. When the time comes, I will leave and form my own pirate group..."
The wicked man was talking excitedly when he suddenly noticed that the expression of the stranger opposite him became a little strange.
He hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
…………
The straight sword, shining with silver-grey oil, fell down suddenly, nailing a figure with a numb expression to the ground.
The figure twisted and squirmed, and in the flowing silver light, gradually disintegrated into a void of light.
Colin Iliad drew back his sword, stood up, and looked around. He saw that the two elders of the "Six-Man Council" - Waite and Lovia - had also solved their respective targets and cleared a clean area by the river.
At this time, on the illusory dark river, a gloomy little boat came from the opposite side and docked silently at the shore.
Seeing this scene, Colin exhaled slowly and whispered to himself with a calm expression:
"Ferryman..."
He had worked with the former chief in the mausoleum for a long time and was quite familiar with each other. He knew that the former chief had been troubled by the lack of the "Giant" pathway Sequence 3 "Silver Knight" potion formula in Silver City, and that no one could be promoted to Demigod. He had planned to transfer to a similar sequence, and this plan had a glimmer of success during an exploration, because they found the "Phoenix" pathway Sequence 3 potion formula:
"Ferryman"!
After that, the former chief began to build the mausoleum, eventually moved in and sealed the entrance.
After observing quietly for a while with dark green eyes, Colin Iliad spoke slowly:
"Go there by boat."
Waite and Lovia did not raise any objection, fully trusting the chief's judgment, and followed him closely to board the gloomy and strange boat.
During this process, the three of them did not hesitate, they did not look around, and they did not pause, as if they were not exploring, but visiting with a definite destination.
The boat started slowly and sailed across the illusory dark water, leaving a long trail.
Those bloody arms and slippery tentacles reached up madly and slapped the hull, but failed to leave any trace and did not cause any impact at all.
In just ten seconds, the three elders of the "Six-Man Council" arrived at the other side of the illusory river.
There stands an altar, on which is placed a heavy iron-black coffin.
Colin Iliad immediately jumped off the boat and drew out another straight sword. Compared with before, he was now more cautious and serious.
Then, Waite, holding the iron-gray long hammer, landed heavily on the shore, causing the surrounding land to tremble noticeably.
He looked at the huge coffin surrounded by monster skulls, took two steps forward, moved the long hammer in front of him, and took off the dragon hunting bow on his back.
At this moment, Waite suddenly felt a little itchy on the back of his hand. He subconsciously looked down and saw that in the pores of the skin there, white hairs covered with yellow oil were growing vigorously and getting bigger and bigger.
…………
In Hakata Port, Klein fed his "creeping hunger" and found a messy hotel, renting a room that could barely be called clean.
Then, he took four steps backwards and came to the top of the gray fog.
Sitting in the position of The Fool, Klein first took out the Azik Copper Whistle Projection, then materialized a pen and paper and wrote down the corresponding divination statement:
"The reason why this copper whistle is abnormal today."
