The peculiar pirate ship

Lumian watched Philip's retreating figure and smiled silently.

This guy is actually quite capable; he's nothing like the frivolous, greasy, and careless person he seemed to be at the Bar last night.

However, this is a common characteristic of many Intis men. As long as they are not in a high-intensity work environment and there are decent Women around them, they will try their best to show themselves off like animals in heat. This is something that becoming Beyonder can change.

The "Witch" are most active in Intis, especially in Trier, which must be due not only to the attraction left from Underground but also to the Attunement of social customs.

Lumian paid no heed to Philip's warning, nor was he angered by it.

He had originally planned to enjoy the trip for the next few days, and had even considered helping to maintain order on the ship, perhaps even acting as Shadow Arbiter.

What he's more concerned about now is how Philip managed to discover that his, Lugano's, and Ludwig's Identity Documents were fake.

After filtering through the Recording of the twenty-two Pathway to Low-Sequence abilities in Aurora's Witchcraft Notes and the information he had gathered from various sources over the past few months, Lumian made a preliminary guess:

Philip should be Beyonder among the three Pathway of ' Spectator,' ' Reader,' and ' Arbiter.'

"One of them is adept at observing details and reading true thoughts, while the other is a reasoning expert. The Sequence 7 is directly called ' Detective,' able to detect our abnormality from subtle Spider Silk. The other, upon reaching Sequence 8 ' Sheriff,' can have their own 'jurisdiction,' possessing extraordinary control over various affairs within their jurisdiction, enough to discover abnormal phenomena and grasp abnormal traces..."

"Given that none of the three of us had had a direct conversation with Philip before, the ' Spectator ' option can be preliminarily ruled out. Furthermore, ' Spectator ' are not suitable to be security supervisors; this is not their comfort zone..."

"After discovering our issues and unclear origins through their abilities, Philip immediately checked our Identity Documents copies and contacted personnel in the issuing region via Telegram to confirm that there weren't actually three such people."

"This explains why he didn't come to warn us until the next morning; he was waiting for the appropriate investigation and a return call."

"This also means that he can find helpers and get feedback in different regions, and has a wide network of contacts."

"It would be difficult for an individual to accomplish this alone. He must have an organization behind him, and a more official one at that? Hmm, he claims to be a retired officer from the Sea of Fog Fleet..."

"This kind of person is indeed very suitable to be the security chief of an armed merchant ship."

Lumian withdrew her gaze, closed the door, and felt much more relaxed.

With a security supervisor who can help him warn each suspect individually, his Journey should be quite smooth from now on.

Lumian spent the entire morning in cabin number 5 of First Class, leisurely studying the Highland Language and occasionally stretching his body. Ludwig, on the other hand, asked Lugano to take him out for a walk after breakfast, and he played on the deck like a real child for more than an hour.

Lumian suspected that this guy was actually checking where his food reserves were and what their condition was.

Before lunch, seeing that the Sunlight was shining brightly, Lumian went down to the deck, leaned on the gunwale, and gazed at the deep blue Sea in the distance.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Philip had returned to his carefree and frivolous state, snuggling with That One girl from the night before at the bow of the ship, sometimes whispering to each other, sometimes laughing so hard they were bent over, behaving like Couple deeply in love.

You Intis people... Lumian shook his head and chuckled.

After leaving Trier, he modified his usual phrases to suit the realities of the situation.

Philip and That One girl strolled on the deck, their laughter echoing everywhere.

With the Hunter's exceptional hearing, Lumian easily knew that the girl's name was Gochia. Her appearance wasn't outstanding, but she was youthful and carefree.

Suddenly, Lumian noticed Philip's gaze drifting towards the outside of the ship's railing, and his expression froze for a second.

Following the gaze of the security chief of the "Flying Bird," Lumian also looked towards the ocean, where a huge shadow seemed to be hidden beneath the undulating blue waters!

As the waves surged in, the shadow vanished.

Smaller than the "Flying Bird," but far surpassing other Sea Creatures... a giant fish, or perhaps Sea Monster? Lumian pondered thoughtfully, a strange excitement creeping into his heart.

"Darling, what are you looking at?" Gochia asked Philip, who was lost in thought.

"My sweetheart, I'm thinking about which Restaurant to take you to later. How about First Class?" Philip said casually.

Just then, a thin fog rose from the Sea, blocking out the Sunlight and darkening the surroundings.

None of the passengers or crew on deck were surprised; such weather Change were characteristic of the Sea of Fog, but not as dramatic as the Berserk Sea that connects the Southern and Northern Continent.

While Gochia was enjoying the first foggy day of the journey, Philip raised his head, his expression slightly grave, and waved his right arm to the Sailor on the lookout tower, pointing to the Sea Area where the shadow had just disappeared.

He didn't think it was a giant fish passing by... Lumian admired the ocean ahead with great interest, seeing many crew members finishing their rest and returning to their posts, including the gunners.

While outwardly relaxed but inwardly on guard, a splashing sound came from not far away, and a huge Iron-Black creature emerged from the sea.

It was a uniquely shaped "ship".

It is entirely covered with a layer of metal, with only thin pipes extending from the top, like the eyes of a snail.

As the water continued to flow, the upper part of this strange, black iron ship suddenly split open, blooming like Flowers, revealing multiple cannons, raising three masts, and creating a wide deck.

On the deck, dozens or even hundreds of pirates brandished muskets and swords, uttering all sorts of threatening noises.

The white sails rose on their own and were hoisted to the top of the mast.

Wow... Lumian exclaimed inwardly.

He had never seen a ship like this before; it was amazing that it could even submerge in water!

Philip's expression grew increasingly serious.

Gochia, standing beside him, was startled by the pirates' appearance and instinctively shrank closer to her Lover, asking, "Which Pirate Crew is this?"

"The only one who possesses this kind of Seabed vessel is ' Deep Sea Admiral ' Hal Constantine. Judging from the size of this ship, it shouldn't be his flagship, but rather the ship of his most trusted subordinate, ' The Bonebreaker ' Basil, the ' Black Octopus '." Philip's tone was no longer frivolous; his voice was quite heavy.

Gochia felt her vision Past black and almost fainted.

Last night, while chatting with them, Philip introduced all the kings of the sea and Pirate Admiral. Among them, Hal Constantine, who had risen from "Vice Admiral" to "Admiral" in public opinion, was the most mysterious.

He is said to have Sea Monster blood and once entered a Ruins that sank to the bottom of the Seabed, where he obtained relics from some alchemists of ancient times—two "Submersible Ship" that can sail Seabed when joined together and function like normal ships when unfolded.

Inspired by this, the Church "God of Steam and Machinery" developed several Seabed ships after a long period of research. However, these could not be mass-produced and relied on the abilities of High-Sequence Beyonder. They were not suitable as decisive weapons for Intis's various fleets and could only be equipped with one or two ships each to perform special functions.

The two ships of the "Deep Sea Admiral" are: one is as huge as the "Flying Bird" and is called the "Newins '", named after one of the most famous treasure legends at sea. It was Hal Constantine's flagship. The other ship is the "Black Octopus" that has now surfaced. It was given by the "Deep Sea Admiral" to his most trusted subordinate, "Bonebreaker" Basil.

This man was equally powerful and ruthless, and enjoyed torturing and killing captured crew members and passengers, so his bounty far exceeded that of most pirates who were not at the "general" level, reaching 250,000 Felkine.

Upon hearing that what appeared before her was the "Black Octopus" and that it was "The Bonebreaker" Basil, Gochia felt a deep sense of Despair.

These Five Seas Great Pirate were far beyond the capabilities of a mere armed merchant ship like the "Flying Bird."

Given Basil's reputation as the "Bonebreaker," one can only imagine what their fate would be!

At this moment, Philip's attention was entirely focused on the unfolding "Black Octopus" and the cannons ready to fire at any moment; he had no mind to comfort his new Lover.

When Lumian, who was not far from them, heard that this was the "Black Octopus," a ship under the command of "Bonebreaker" Deep Sea Admiral, the most powerful subordinate of "Basil" Hal Constantine, he was not nervous at all, but rather excited, as if he could smell the scent of iron and blood.

This is one of the signs of the "Hunter's " belligerence.

Even if Beyonder fully digests the Potion, they will still be affected by it to some extent.

Lumian's green eyes, sharp as an eagle's, stared at the strange, iron-black ship, his mind racing with thoughts of how to fight.

Once "Bonebreaker" Basil appeared and the distance between the two ships closed, revealing the location clearly, he directly "Teleportation" behind the Great Pirate and used the "Heng-Ha Art";

If the "Heng-Ha Art" doesn't work as expected and the opponent doesn't Past, then put on the "Torture" gauntlets to induce some kind of desire in him. Then, "Teleportation" again to create distance, play the "Hateful Movement," and detonate that excessive desire.

Taking advantage of the fact that "Bonebreaker" Basil is severely injured and temporarily incapacitated, Lumian will approach again and unleash the full power of "Hunter" to blast the enemy into pieces;

During this process, to avoid interference from surrounding pirates, you can try creating a "Fictional Bottle" to Bonebreaker "Basil for a one-on-one duel...

A complete plan and contingency measures flashed through Lumian's mind, causing his body to tremble slightly, as if he were anticipating a thrilling battle.

As a naval battle between the two ships was about to erupt, the pirates on the "Black Octopus" turned around one after another, staring in astonishment at the staircase leading to the Depths of the ship.

Just seconds later, the strange, iron-black ship suddenly turned and sailed away into the distance.

Its open parts gradually closed up, resealing the interior.

In Lumian and the others' eyes, the "Black Octopus" was rapidly increasing its distance while quickly diving into the Seabed.

It eventually turned into a shadow and then disappeared into the misty Sea.

"Ran, ran away?" It took Gochia a long time to come to her senses. She turned her head and asked her Lover with a mixture of surprise, joy, and confusion.

"The Bonebreaker" Basil and his "Black Octopus" are gone?

They haven't even started fighting, nor have they looted at all!

Philip stared in disbelief at the spot where the "Black Octopus" had disappeared, forcing a smile. "Didn't I tell you I know a lot of Great Pirate?"
