From the angle of Angel falling into the water, you can see that the stern part of the "Black Tulip" that had not yet entered the Bronze Gate quickly collapsed, with rotten planks, masts, a white sail that became riddled with holes, and then those who were originally chasing "Azik" Copper Whistle" Zombie and the skeletons fell into the water like beans, causing continuous waves.

Bang——

Bronze Gate slowly closed, and half of the "Black Tulip" and its owner "Hell Admiral" Ludwell gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The two pale flames stared blankly at Angel outside the crack of the door. They were not angry because of the loss, nor had they had hatred or fighting spirit. They were just indifferent to death.

The sea, which reflected the golden light of Blazing Sun, temporarily returned to calm.

Angel took two mouthfuls of salty seawater before reluctantly transforming into "Siren" and gaining the ability to move freely in the water. Her Spirituality was on the verge of drying up and her vision began to become blurred. She could only swim to the outside to avoid the undead creatures that had lost control and began to spontaneously attack the nearest living beings.

"Fishman's Cufflink" was lost in the battle. Klein, who could only use Charm to gain the ability to breathe underwater, and Anderson, who was the first to jump into the water but lacked the ability to move, also swam here.

Fortunately, "Future" had already crossed the hull, revealing rows of cannons on the side. The pirates took aim one by one, and fired one bomb after another into the sea boiling due to the turmoil of undead creatures, turning each Zombie into a dead body, and blasting the skeletons that could float on the water to the bottom of the sea.

Dots of starlight fell, condensing into a transparent bridge, and landed in front of the three people.

The blond Anderson climbed up Star Bridge first, looked back at the messy sea, and shouted loudly.

"Wow! We actually killed the number 'Black Tulip', that was 'Hell Admiral'!"

Looking back at the pirates who were sticking their heads out of the side of the ship to look at them, he waved his left hand and took a step forward.

With a "plop", he stepped out of Star Bridge and fell into the water again in front of Angel who had just stepped onto the bridge.

"Be careful, the breath of Earth Mother here will still affect 'Future'..."

At this time, the reminder "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya came from the distance.

Seeing Anderson in such miserable condition, Angel and Klein walked up the transparent bridge carefully.

"I dropped my armpin on the boat. Maybe I can trace 'Hell Admiral' through it later..."

Klein said softly while walking side by side, taking care to avoid Anderson who climbed up Star Bridge again from behind.

"Can a half-ship still float on the water?"

Angel frowned and asked.

The two looked at each other, neither of them having any hope.

Before the unlucky Anderson caught up with them, the two returned to the deck of Future along Star Bridge. But strangely, except for the time when the former stepped on the air, no other accidents occurred.

The unlucky curse on him is indeed reflected in every aspect... Angel quietly walked away from the "most unlucky Hunter", but found that the pirates on the deck, including Nina, Frank, and Heath Doyle, who had swallowed a black monster in the previous battle and whose face was even paler, all gathered around him, their eyes flickering and their expressions strange.

How...

Her heart skipped a beat, and she held Anderson in front of her, approaching Klein who also looked confused.

"...Ship Breaker."

I don't know who took the lead in shouting.

"Ship Breaker!" "Angelica Zaki!"

The cheers gradually became louder, and the pirates with long hair or shaggy heads shouted one after another, but they carefully left space and did not swarm them. They used the method they were used to welcoming heroes to lift their targets high and throw them into the air.

"And crazy Adventurer, Gehrman Sparrow!"

Sailor Chief Nina added.

"Sparrow!" "The man who committed suicide alone on 'Black Tulip'!"

Klein's action of dragging "Hell Admiral" while everyone was busy dealing with the black monster was also recognized by everyone. The bold pirates were no longer polite to this man. They surrounded him one after another and quickly lifted Klein, who was wearing a crew-neck shirt and wide-leg pants, and whose peaked cap had been sucked away by Bronze Gate, high, throwing it up and catching him.

The latter rarely refused them with a cold expression, but squinted his eyes and enjoyed the cheers of the crowd.

"And 'Strongest Hunter' Anderson Hood!"

Hearing such an inappropriate remark amidst the cheers, Klein couldn't help but open his eyes and look over there, and found that it was Anderson himself who shouted something in the crowd, but found that no one responded, and closed his mouth angrily.

You should be lucky that most of them don't know that you are having bad luck and have attracted so many enemies. Otherwise, they would tie you to the stern of the boat with a rope and throw you into the sea as bait to lure monsters... Fuming, he felt the last trace of "Faceless" in his body, Potion, being completely digested as he kept leaving the deck and being caught by everyone's hands.

After the short "Heroes Return" event, the pirates, under the orders of Cattleya, quickly cleaned the deck of "Future", picked up the black monster that died under the poison, burned it with the holy light released by Pirate Admiral's gold brooch, and threw it into the sea.

I don't know if these dead monsters will be resurrected again under the breath of Earth Mother and combine into Corpse Bone Giant, but "Future" has raised its sails and quickly left this sea area, so naturally it no longer considers this long-term problem.

The only victim in this battle, the pirate who died after his blood was sucked out by an out-of-control vine, received a grand funeral at sea. Surrounded by all the crew members, Nina, who performed the duties of "Lord of Storms" Pastor, recited a prayer, burned his ashes and put them in a jar, waiting to be handed over to his family members designated during his lifetime.

Even though most pirates and Sailor like to talk about "giving everything to the sea", after death, not many people are willing to use the traditional sea burial method and let their companions Exile put their bodies into the sea. Especially in this weird God War Ruins, if the corpse falls into the water, maybe you can see him in that kind of Corpse Bone Giant next time.

Listening to the low-pitched prayers around him, watching the pirates who more or less believe in Lord of Storms punch their right chests to the left, Angel also silently drew a Crimson Moon in his heart.

"Future" continued to move forward in the direction pointed by Anderson, carefully avoiding various dangerous ruins and islands, and continued to penetrate deeper into God War Ruins.

Except for the "Black Tulip", they did not encounter any ships or living people, nor did they enter the sea area where the aura of God was left again.

After Evernight alternated with noon twice, it came to April 15 according to external time. During this period, Klein used the "Tinder" gloves bought for 7,000 pounds, using The ability of Marauder Pathway "steals" the True Creator pollution inside "All-Black Eye", turning the valuable Mystical Item into pollution-bearing waste and being thrown into Grey Fog Space.

In contrast, "All-Black Eye" also got rid of the contamination and turned back into pure "Marionettist" Beyonder Characteristic. As long as it is put into the container together with other Auxiliary Materials, it can be made into a real Potion.

"... The last one is Sonia Island's Golden Spring Water..."

Pour the light golden liquid into the iron pot and watch it merge with other materials, provoking different reactions and eventually turning into a dark golden liquid.

Plop, the black eyeball-like Beyonder Characteristic slid into the liquid along the edge of the pot. Countless bubbles appeared on the calm water surface, and drastic changes occurred inside.

Ten seconds later, the liquid dyed Pure Black returned to calm, with countless tiny bugs swimming rapidly inside, reminding Klein of the sewage that breeds larvae.

With a sullen face, he did a simple divination with gold coins, and finally confirmed that it was Potion.

I'm going to drink this thing into my stomach later... Even after drinking Potion four times, Klein sometimes still can't accept this kind of thing. He carefully poured the medicine into the metal bottle he had prepared in advance, stuffed it into his pocket, tidied the room, and then returned to the deck.

Even though it was already early morning in terms of time, the sky in this unusual sea area was still occupied by the midday sun. The pirates on duty on the deck looked around with vigilance, but the melodious singing that came to their ears made their eyes flash from time to time.

It's a mermaid, and he has finally waited for this moment... He felt a little excited, took a deep breath, and touched his pocket again to confirm that Potion was there.

Although there was a reminder from Angel, Klein already knew that "Queen Mystic" Bernadette was on this ship and made corresponding preparations. However, the last time Evernight Dream Invasion was fished with "Rosell's Diary" by the other party, it still left him with lingering fears.

Even though he made reasonable responses, without even looking at the blank notebook inside, Klein was still recognized by the eldest daughter of Roselle——

His identity of "Gehrman Sparrow" was actually created by "Queen Mystic"!

No matter how you hide it, you have been defeated from the beginning...

Of course, the same goes for Angel's "Angelica Zaki". I'm afraid this Pirate King started following us a few months ago, and this time he directly linked the two of us to the Fool's Believer I'm afraid I have to be extremely careful in future actions... And "Admiral of Stars", as the former subordinate of Bernadette, she should have provided a lot of information in the process, which needs to be hammered on Tarot Club...

Hearing the beautiful songs coming from everywhere, countless evil thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein felt like he was in a trance.

The runes engraved on the deck suddenly lit up, forming a dazzling sea of stars, which blocked out the seductive singing voice of the mermaid not far away, allowing the pirates to return to normal.

Was I influenced by the mermaid just now?

Klein's head suddenly became clearer and he looked up suddenly.

Cattleya, who was wearing a black robe, poked his head out from the window of the captain's cabin. When he saw Klein looking up, he nodded slightly and said nothing.

"The boat is ready. Do you want me to go with you?"

The soft voice coming from beside him soothed the last trace of violence in Klein's heart. He turned his head to look at Angel and shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, I can do it myself."

Angel glanced at him with some concern before getting out of the way and watching Klein get on the boat alone and be lowered into the water along the side of the boat.

The moment he left the protection of "Future", his figure swayed again, as if he was about to jump into the water, but quickly returned to normal. He used Charm to attract strong winds and pushed the boat closer to the reef ahead.

"Toxin Expert" Frank Lee came over at some point, put up a pergola with his hands and looked into the distance. After a moment, he suddenly said:

"Don't worry, these mermaids generally don't harm humans. Instead, they are very shy and hide away from people."

"But there are rumors that they will use their songs to lure Sailor, let them jump into the sea, and then eat them?"

In order to relieve anxiety, Angel asked rhetorically.

"So this is the rumor," Frank chuckled, seeming to have emerged from the shadow of his teammate's death. "The songs of mermaids can indeed tempt humans, but most of them drowned, and a few were killed by other Beyonder Creature. On the contrary, the mermaids were captured and kept in captivity, and only a few wild ones live here."

It always felt like another maritime legend had been shattered... Angel pursed his lips and looked into the distance again, and found that as soon as Klein landed on the reef, the mermaids jumped into the sea one after another as if they were frightened, and disappeared after disappearing into the bottom of the sea. It was indeed as Frank said.

"By the way, the way you killed those black monsters yesterday was wonderful. This bottle of poison was made by me. It has enhanced activity and can be stored in a sealed state for a long time. I think it might be able to help you."

This Toxin Expert remembered his purpose, took out a glass bottle about the thickness of his thumb from his pocket, and handed it to Angel. The latter took it, looked at the sun, and found that it was different from the green liquid medicine used by Angel yesterday. It was a dark yellow color.

In fact, I have already remembered the toxin - she did not say these words, but smiled and thanked Frank for her kindness, and carefully put the glass bottle away.

The formula of "Despair" Potion requires a poison as Auxiliary Materials, and she can use this bottle just right.

While the two were chatting, Klein had successfully subdued Potion amidst the songs of several mermaids who had not had time to run away, and then stood blankly on the top of the reef without any movement, nor any violent or out-of-control behavior.

The entire ship of pirates looked over there with concern, looking at this temporary teammate who played a key role in yesterday's battle.

Feeling the distant gazes of the crowd, Klein slowly opened his eyes, his eyes dark and dark. Among them was Spirituality who had not yet been controlled and was still escaping.

In his sight, countless black lines stretched out from the mermaid in front of him, on the seabed and sky everywhere, and on "Future" not far away, spreading to infinity, as if pulling the wires of a puppet.

When using "All-Black Eye", he also had a similar vision, but it was not as natural as now.

From now on, I am "Marionettist"...

Watching the lines passing through his eyes, he quickly found the ones belonging to Angel. Klein smiled and closed his eyes again.
