Chapter 189: Captain, Let's Conquer the Sea Together
When it was Derrick's turn, he began to talk about the City of Silver.
What he described was completely unfamiliar to Fors; it was a new world yet to be discovered.
Upon hearing that they called that place the Land Abandoned by God, Fors was suddenly shocked.
The Land Abandoned by God, as the name suggests, is a place forsaken by the gods.
A place even the gods have abandoned, and where there is no sunlight all day long—doesn't that sound like the abyss where demons reside?
No wonder she always felt that Mr. Sun had an unusually robust and unique physique; it turned out he was a demon!
A demon using the Sun as a false identity—this is blasphemy!
The Fool can even accommodate such a demon, proving that He is indeed an evil god!
Fors's mind was racing, while Derrick, feeling the unknown gaze upon him, felt very innocent.
Their City of Silver was indeed in a world without sunlight.
The Fool merely watched with a smile, not participating in the discussion, as was his usual style.
After all, a person who talks a lot is less intimidating.
Just like the divine oracles that gods deliver, which are always very brief, sometimes requiring the followers to interpret the specific instructions themselves.
"I need the formula for the Sequence 8 Trickmaster potion and can pay in gold pounds."
When it came to the trading segment, Fors also stated her needs.
Firstly, she genuinely needed the Trickmaster potion formula, and secondly, a successful undercover agent must learn to participate in everything, making herself look like everyone else.
Hmm, this Magician lady also needs the Trickmaster potion formula?
Audrey was suddenly intrigued. She remembered that Miss Fors had always been seeking the Trickmaster potion formula. Could this be just a coincidence?
The Magician lady also lives in Backlund, could it be...
Audrey's gaze towards Fors changed, becoming sharp and vigilant.
If it really was Miss Fors, wouldn't she have already figured out her identity?
Of course, it could also be a misunderstanding. Nowadays, there are so many Beyonders in Backlund that it's normal for people to have the same needs.
Audrey slightly adjusted her sitting posture, changing some of her unconscious habits to disguise her identity anew.
On the other side, Alger initially wanted to offer help but reconsidered. This Magician lady had just joined the Tarot Club, and her background was still unclear, so he decided to keep a certain distance.
No one had the Trickmaster potion formula, leaving Fors a bit disappointed.
"Today's gathering ends here."
With the trading segment over, this week's Tarot Club meeting concluded.
...
On the sea, Alger composed himself before stepping out of the captain's cabin of the Blue Avenger.
As soon as he reached the deck to observe the situation, a lookout crew member came to report something.
They had spotted two merchant ships preparing to return in a nearby sea area.
Alger had little interest in plundering merchant ships, but his crew were pirates who had lived by plundering for years, and his outward identity was also a pirate, so he couldn't completely forbid them from plundering.
He had only issued regulations prohibiting random killing, allowing them to take the loot.
However, every plundering action resulted in casualties, which he could only tacitly accept.
Soon, the two merchant ships were caught up by the highly efficient Blue Avenger.
Many pirates came to the side of the ship, taunting the two merchant ships and even making lewd gestures towards some pretty female passengers.
Alger just watched without stopping them, hoping that the leaders of the two merchant ships would be sensible enough not to resist.
Otherwise, blood would surely be shed today.
Soon, the Blue Avenger's grappling hooks were already embedded in the two merchant ships, and the rope bridges were set up, ready for the assault.
Alger ordered his crew to persuade the merchant ships to surrender and hand over their goods.
If they were willing to do so, they would be allowed to leave safely.
Things went smoother than expected; the leaders of the two merchant ships decided to hand over their goods in exchange for safe passage.
As the captain, Alger stepped forward to accept their surrender.
At this moment, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a young man standing beside the merchant ship's captain.
The young man was dressed simply as a sailor, but he gave Alger a different feeling.
Especially the young man's eyes, which were like bright white crystals.
The young man's confidence and composure, along with the look of discovering an interesting prey, made Alger feel uneasy.
Having survived on the sea for so many years, Alger had his own methods of reading people, and anyone who gave him such a feeling was never simple.
The young sailor then spoke, "Are you pirates? Is this ship the Blue Avenger they talked about?"
The pirates around Alger laughed and continued to taunt and threaten the young sailor.
The young sailor just smiled at them, not getting angry, as if he were watching an amusing performance.
"Being a pirate seems like an interesting experience."
"I want to join your Blue Avenger and conquer the sea together."
"Becoming the protagonist of the Age of Exploration should be quite interesting."
The young sailor's shocking words drew wild laughter from the pirates, with two of them even pushing the young sailor, causing him to fall onto the deck, still smiling.
"Ha! Look at yourself, with those skinny arms and legs, you think you can sail the seas like us?"
"Not to mention, a young and naive face like yours is a rare commodity on the sea."
"Let's check him out thoroughly; he might fetch a high price."
Seeing this, Alger felt a chill run down his spine.
It was intense, full of fear!
The young sailor, subjected to all kinds of verbal abuse and lewd stares, still maintained a kind smile.
He slowly stood up from the deck and looked at the pirates who had insulted him.
"Pirates, symbols of vulgarity, really make me... uncomfortable."
With what seemed like a murmur, the pirates targeted by the young sailor were suddenly sliced into countless pieces.
Each piece of flesh had a smooth cut, smoother than a sharp butcher's knife slicing through meat.
Alger was utterly speechless; there was no doubt they had kicked an iron plate this time, and not just any iron plate.
As a Sequence 7 Navigator, he couldn't even tell how the young sailor had made his move.
The gap in strength was too vast!
By his estimation, this young sailor was at least a Sequence 4 or higher!
He really wanted to curse; a powerful Beyonder deliberately disguised as an ordinary sailor on a merchant ship—what a twisted sense of humor!
But he didn't dare to curse; he didn't even dare to speak.
This terrifying scene also shocked everyone present.
The people on the merchant ship felt both fear and a sense of relief.
As for the surviving pirates, they were already lying on the blood and flesh-covered deck, begging for mercy.
"You can go back now."
The young sailor allowed the merchant ship's captain to leave, staying alone on the Blue Avenger.
He looked at the still-pretending-to-be-calm Alger and politely said, "You are the captain of the Blue Avenger, right?"
"Yes, I am Alger Wilson, the captain of the Blue Avenger."
In front of such an existence, any deception was a foolish act courting death.
"Captain, can I join the Blue Avenger now?"
"Of course."
Alger's voice was hoarse and trembling; this was not something he could decide.
"Captain, don't be so nervous. I'm not a bad person; I'm just an ordinary sailor who wants to be a pirate."
"I'm just happy to have you on the Blue Avenger."
"Captain, you are much smarter than them."
"Thank you for your compliment."
Alger forced a smile.
"Captain, let's conquer this sea together!"
"As you wish."
Alger wisely surrendered, ordering his crew to clean up the blood and flesh on the deck and then directing them to set sail.
"Captain, I've heard there are six great treasures in this sea?"
"Yes, the most famous and storied treasures are six."
"Captain, can you tell me about them?"
"Of course, it would be my honor."
Alger suppressed his fear and began to recount the six legendary treasures of the sea.
"The first is the Death God's Key, said to be left by the fallen Death God. Whoever obtains this key can inherit the Death God's power and wealth."
"The second is the Fountain of Youth, located in the depths of the Sunia Sea. It's rumored that one of the Four Kings, the Undying King Agalito, drank from it."
"I personally believe the so-called Fountain of Youth is a trap deliberately spread by the Undying King Agalito, filled with dangers."
Alger shared everything he knew without any reservation.
"Captain, you are very honest. Honesty is a good virtue."
"Thank you for your praise."
The young sailor, now an ordinary pirate on the Blue Avenger, looked towards the Sunia Sea with a smile and said, "Captain, let's set off to find the Fountain of Youth."
