News of the Fountain of Youth

With Anderson's command of "Let's go!", the Flesh Puppet began to busy themselves in their respective positions. Some hoisted the anchor, while others rowed, slowly steering the ship away from the nearshore waters.

"Brush!"

Two Flesh Puppet gripped the ropes and pulled hard, slowly raising and unfolding the mainsail.

"Continue adjusting the rope to the left to allow the sail to receive better force."

Anderson stood at the bow, giving instructions with great interest.

He was a novice at sailing. But directing so many people to do something new was quite interesting, especially with a few minor, not-too-troublesome problems to solve. Once they were resolved one by one, the ship would perfectly unfurl its mainsail and head towards the depths of the Ocean as intended.

Anderson thought expectantly.

"Call--"

However, a perfectly timed strong gust of wind blew in, causing the mainsail to unfurl and tighten instantly. The large ship, like a wind-up toy carriage, shot forward with a whoosh.

Why make it so complicated?

Luther withdrew his hand and said.

Anderson: "."

Yes, there's a direct airflow source here, so why bother adjusting it?

Anderson's initial interest quickly dissipated, and he climbed down from the bow of the ship.

The rest of the voyage was uneventful; neither Evernight fell nor a golden carriage passed by. Luther was initially curious about operating the sailboat, but after a while, he grew tired of it and handed the work over to the Flesh Puppet and Anderson, while he sat on the side of the boat fishing to replenish his flesh and Flesh with fresh fish.

Perhaps because there are few boats around, the fish in the water are completely unaware of the danger and foolishly rush to bite the bait. Before long, he caught quite a few.

"Huh?"

Just as he caught his seventh big fish, replenished his flesh and Flesh, and began feeding it to Luna, Anderson, who was observing from the bow of the boat, suddenly let out a soft gasp.

"What's wrong?"

Luther asked, casually removing the hook from the fish's mouth and tossing the fish to Luna.

There seem to be more than one ship ahead!

Other ships?

Could it be the King of the Black Throne or the Queen Mystic?

Luther jumped up, rushed to the bow, and looked in the direction Anderson was pointing.

He saw a three-masted sailing ship in the distance where the water met the sky. And right behind this ship was an even larger one. The two ships, one in front of the other, seemed to be enacting a chase and escape game.

The two ships were moving very fast, and in the time Luther had been observing them, their size had increased from a dot to the size of a fingernail.

It wasn't the ship of those two kings.

Luther got a better look at the ship and relaxed slightly.

Anderson, however, didn't have the same attitude and immediately shouted.

"Damn it! It's someone from the 'King of Immortality'!"

"The King of Immortality"?

Luther was taken aback.

Isn't that the third Pirate King of the seas?

This is truly unexpected; three kings have gathered at the same time within this God War Ruins!

"No, it shouldn't be him. That ship isn't their Flagship, the 'Death Announcer,'" Anderson said. "But the black tombstone pattern on the sails suggests it's one of his Fleet. The crew members on board are probably the other pirates."

Hearing this, Luther took a closer look at the large ship chasing the three-masted sailing ship. Sure enough, black tombstones were painted on its unfurled sails. The tombstones were eerie and profound, filled with an ominous aura.

"They're coming this way, should we get out of the way?"

Anderson asked in a low voice.

The three-masted sailing ship in front must have spotted their vessel as well, and was speeding towards them. It was faster than the larger ship behind, but the larger ship behind was firing its cannons intermittently, interfering with its speed. The sea around it was constantly churning up water, and sometimes cannonballs would hit the ship, causing a moment of panic on board.

"Need not."

Luther said calmly.

He actually saw this as a good opportunity to refresh his Lamb Slots. The pirates under the "King of Immortality" were ruthless and felt no remorse when killing them—he only hoped that these pirates had high enough extraordinary Sequence and good enough abilities.

"Move closer."

He said.

". ah?"

Anderson paused for a moment, then guessed his thoughts, "You want to hunt them? Hunt the minions of the 'King of Immortality'?"

"Is that not allowed?"

Luther glanced at him, then simply created a strong wind himself, billowing the sails and sending the ship heading towards the two pursuing Ships.

Upon hearing this, Anderson's expression changed rapidly, but in the end, he still laughed out loud.

"Okay, let's just say it's so we can make some money from this trip."

As he spoke, he Consciousness began to stroke an ordinary button on the middle of his shirt. They had two Sequence 5 on their side, and that Alexander Gascoigne was a formidable Shepherd. It was hard to say which side was stronger!

The three sailboats sailed towards each other, and the distance between them quickly closed.

Luther could gradually make out the expressions on the faces of the people on the ship. They were terrified, yet still desperately trying to escape. And this was not a desperate struggle—their eyes gleamed with Greed and fanaticism, as if something more important was driving them forward, regardless of the threat of death behind them!

Hey! Help us!

The three-masted sailing ship was already very close to them when a blond-haired crew member shouted at them, "We are adventurers! We've discovered clues to the Fountain of Youth—the secret to the Fountain of Youth of the 'King of Immortality'!"

Fountain of Youth?

Anderson, upon hearing this, recounted it with great interest.

Legend has it that deep within the Sonia Sea lies a spring called the "Fountain of Youth," from which those who drink will remain forever young. Agalito, the "King of Immortality," is said to have survived for so long by drinking from this Fountain of Youth. If one could truly find the Fountain of Youth, they would be incredibly fortunate.

Luther ignored them and instead turned his gaze to the large black-sailed ship further behind.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

It turned out that the ship had stopped chasing them at some point, turned around, and sailed away in a direction far away from them!

These guys are trying to escape!

"Huh? Why did you run away?"

Anderson said with a mixture of regret and relief, "What a pity. But we can talk to those adventurers and see Fountain of Youth are reliable. Wait, what are you doing!"

"Call!"

Anderson had reason to scream, because a surge of air was rising from beneath his feet, lifting him into the air.

Luther also floated in the air.

"Chase after them!"

He said that, and then, without giving Anderson any time, he took him and chased after the large ship with black sails!

Although he didn't know why they had fled, Luther was determined to pull off a heist, so how could he let his prey escape?!
