Chapter 280: Companions



A look of surprise appeared on Morin's face.

He squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the slightly throbbing devil fruit. After thinking for a moment, he stretched out a finger and gently touched the devil fruit.

Hiss, hiss, hiss, the veins on the devil fruit suddenly fell off by themselves, dancing around the devil fruit like tentacles, looking extremely scary.

With a sizzling sound, the tendons wrapped around Morin's fingers, causing large amounts of white smoke to come out of his fingers, but not long after, the tendons dispersed and fell off on their own.

Morin's fingers were as smooth as new, without any change, but his tendons kept twitching, as if he had suffered some serious damage.

"Chip, analyze the devil fruit in front of you!" Morin took the devil fruit in his hand, his mind moved slightly, and gave such an instruction to the chip.

"Ding! The mission has been established!"

"Mission in progress!"

"Analyzing the devil fruit..."

The cold mechanical sound of the chip continued to ring.

A faint blue light appeared in front of Morin's eyes. He listened to the sound coming from the chip beside his ear, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

He took the devil fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.

With the naked eye, you can see that there is a slight bulge in Morin's throat, but soon the bulge subsides.

"Ding! The subject takes the devil fruit!"

"Purification of the main spiritual power!"

"The main body's mental strength has been improved!"

"The subject's physical fitness has been improved!"

The sound of the chip continued to ring, and on the blue light screen in front of Morin, the data column representing mental power slowly grew.

The spiritual power was purified and improved? Morin frowned.

"Chip, analyze the specific reasons for the improvement and purification of my mental power!" Morin asked in a deep voice.

"Ding! According to the Rockwell reaction and the effect of toluene, the Rockwell stone water potion that the subject had taken before reacted with the devil fruit to produce a silver reaction, thereby improving the subject's mental strength and physical fitness!"

Chip quickly gave the reason.

"Is that so?" Morin said softly, his eyes slightly closed, feeling the cool feeling in his mind after swallowing the devil fruit, and he already understood what was going on.

Morin opened his eyes, looked at the slightly dazed Herrick next to him, and said, "Herrick, the devil fruit is very good. Did you know that there are more here?" A slight smile appeared on his face.

Herrick was stunned.

"Wait a minute, Lord Morin, this is not how you take devil fruits, no..." Herrick said subconsciously.

But soon, Herrick looked into Morin's calm and indifferent eyes, and he couldn't help but stop talking.

"We don't have any devil fruits here anymore, no more, no more."

Herrick shrank his neck and kept talking.

The expression on Morin's face remained unchanged. He looked at Herrick, chuckled, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Herrick, didn't you say that you and the others had agreed to go to the Devil Sea to pick devil fruits together?"

"Then take me with you. I'm also very interested in the so-called Devil Sea and Devil Fruits."

Maureen said softly.

Herrick was completely stunned. He looked at Maureen's calm and expressionless face and felt so sad that he couldn't even cry.

However, when faced with it, it simply did not dare to refuse.

"Well...that's fine." The expression on Herrick's face was extremely stiff.

Maureen smiled, said nothing, and just nodded slightly.

For the next few days, Morin lived in the palace of the Scarlet Ratman. He had left behind some witchcraft communication instruments. At this time, Morin sent a message to Gray and others in Longsong Fortress, telling them that he was fine and that they didn't need to worry.

The Scarlet Ratmen have also retreated. They will no longer attack human areas. After all, Morin is already in the Scarlet Ratmen's palace, and the high-ranking officials and nobles among the Scarlet Ratmen will not seek death on their own.

Morin was very interested in the Scarlet Rat Man. He wandered around constantly and collected a lot of information that he had never seen before. At the same time, he asked Herrick and others to open the door of the treasury and go into the treasury to explore it carefully.

Whether it was the Scarlet Ratmen's alternative advanced subject knowledge or their various strange artifacts or precious materials, they all gave Morin great inspiration.

In a way, this opened a door for Morin, allowing him to understand the way of thinking of another completely unfamiliar creature.

It can be said that Herrick has been busy during this period. As long as Morin has a request, he will definitely do it without any hesitation.

Although it appeared to be very loyal and had no complaints, Herrick had already been complaining in his heart.

Finally, the time passed and it was time for Herrick to reunite with the others.

"Lord Morin, I have discussed with others to gather in the Stormy Canyon."

"Now that time has passed, they should come over."

Herrick nodded and bowed to Maureen, talking non-stop.

Maureen nodded and said nothing.

He and Herrick stood on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by a biting cold wind. A faint gray mist lingered in the abyss, as if it led to an endless unknown distance, with no bottom in sight.

Maureen and Herrick stood here, and after a while, there was a shaking sound from the ground, and someone appeared.

It was a Centaur knight, with a human upper body and a horse lower body. He was wearing black armor, had muscular body, and held a cross broadsword in his hand, looking mighty and strong.

"Herrick, why did you bring one more person with you? Who is he?" The Centaur Knight looked over quickly. It had a pair of emerald green eyes, which made people feel uneasy.

"Irons, this is my friend, it's Maureen, Maureen Olson."

Herrick squeaked, giving the reason he and Maureen had made up earlier.

"Maureen Olsen? Do you want him to join us?" The Centaur Knight's emerald green eyes were flickering like flames.

It didn't say anything, but its aura suddenly increased, and it pressed towards Morin fiercely like a tide.

But everything was normal and ordinary. Morin stood there quietly, as if he felt nothing.

"If this is the case, forget it."

Morin suddenly spoke. He looked at the Centaur Knight Allens and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

Allens' body stiffened, and its four strong hooves stomped the ground hard, appearing very irritable, but after a while, it calmed down.

The Centaur Knight walked aside without saying anything, which was considered as an acknowledgement of Morin's appearance.

They waited here quietly. After a while, two more people came. One of them was a tall skeleton. He wore a black robe that covered his body, with his head exposed. The light blue flames in his eye sockets were jumping. This was a skeleton warrior, and his name was Wensman.

The other one was a hellish creature that looked similar to an ordinary human, except that its skin was extremely white, and there were grayish-white stripes spreading across its face, making it look particularly eerie.

It was wearing a tattered hunting suit with a cross sword hanging diagonally at its waist, like a fallen nobleman.

From Herrick's introduction, Maureen learned its name, Ogg.

The skeleton warriors Wensman and Oger secretly tested Morin's strength. Morin remained calm and did not have any big reaction. After looking at each other, Wensman and Oger did not attack again, which was regarded as tacit acknowledgement of Morin's existence.

"Almost everyone has arrived, now only Cruz is missing." Oger, who looked rather sick, narrowed his eyes and spoke softly.

"Cruise is here!"

Herrick suddenly shouted.

The air suddenly vibrated, and faintly, there was the sound of a giant snake's loud hissing.

The sky was filled with smoke, and countless black snakes like shadows were swimming in the sky, covering the entire sky as if it was endless.

Seeing this scene, both Allens and Oger couldn't help but get agitated and seemed quite uneasy.

Giant snake.

It turned out to be a giant snake.

When Morin saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Crus is the chieftain of the Black Soya Snake Tribe. He has half snake blood and is a very powerful being!" Herrick said on the side, his voice trembling a little, not sure whether it was because of excitement or fear.

The Black Soya Snake Tribe? Morin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hiss! A huge snake cry was heard in the air, and then all the giant snakes disappeared completely. A figure floated down from the sky and slowly landed on the ground.
