Chapter 515: Strange Pirate Ship (Thanks to Wangyousha for the reward from Aurore Silver Alliance) Lumian looked at Philip's back and smiled silently. This guy really has some talent, and is definitely not as frivolous, greasy and sloppy as he appeared in the bar last night. However, this is also a common characteristic of many Intis men. As long as they are not in high-intensity work and there are decent women around them, they will work hard to show themselves like animals in heat. This is not something that can be changed by becoming a Beyonder. The "witches" are most active in Intis, especially Trier. In addition to the attraction left over from the underground, it must also include the compatibility with the social atmosphere. Lumian didn't take Philip's warning seriously, nor was he angered by it. He had originally planned to enjoy the journey of the next few days, and even considered helping to maintain order on the ship and serving as a shadow judge. What he was more concerned about now was why Philip was able to discover that his, Lugano's and Ludwig's identity documents were fake. After combining the records of the twenty-two pathways of low-sequence abilities in Aurore's Witchcraft Notes with the information he had obtained from various channels over the past few months, Lumian had a preliminary guess: “Philip should be an extraordinary person in one of the three paths: ‘spectator’, ‘reader’ and ‘arbitrator’. "One of them is good at observing details and reading people's true thoughts. The other is a reasoning expert. The next Sequence 7 is directly called a 'detective'. He can find out that we are not normal from some clues. The other reaches Sequence 8 'sheriff' and can have his own 'jurisdiction'. He has extraordinary control over various affairs in the jurisdiction, enough to discover some abnormal phenomena and grasp some abnormal traces...
"Combined with the fact that none of the three of us had direct communication with Philip before, the option of 'audience' can be initially ruled out. Moreover, 'audience' is not suitable to be a security director. This is not their comfort zone... "After discovering that there was something wrong with us and that our origins were not clear enough, Philip immediately checked the copies of our identity documents and contacted the personnel in the issuing area via telegram to confirm that there were actually no such three people? "That would explain why he didn't come to warn us until the next morning while he waited for the appropriate investigation and call back. “This also means that he can find helpers in different regions, get feedback, and have a wide range of personal connections. "It's hard to do this by an individual alone. There must be an organization behind him, and it's a more official organization? Well, he claims to be a retired officer of the Mist Sea Fleet... "Such a person is indeed very suitable to be the security director of an armed merchant ship." Lumian withdrew his gaze, closed the door, and felt a lot more relaxed. With a security manager who can help him warn the suspects one by one, the rest of the journey should be quite safe. Lumian stayed in Room 5 of the first-class cabin the whole morning, leisurely learning the highland language and exercising from time to time. But Ludwig asked Lugano to take him out for a walk after breakfast, and played on the deck for more than an hour like a real child. Lumian suspected that this guy was actually examining the location and condition of his food reserves. Before lunch, Lumian saw that the sun was shining brightly, so he went down to the deck, leaned on the side of the boat with both hands, and looked out at the deep blue sea in the distance. From the corner of his eye he saw that Philip had returned to his casual and frivolous state, hanging out with the girl from last night at the bow, whispering to each other, laughing, and behaving like a couple in love. You are the Intis people... Lumian shook his head and laughed. After leaving Trier, he modified his common language to adapt to reality. Philip and the girl strolled on the deck, leaving their laughter everywhere. With the Hunter's excellent hearing, Lumian easily knew that the girl's name was Gokia. Her appearance was not outstanding, but she was youthful and innocent. Suddenly, Lumian saw Philip's gaze looking outside the ship's side, and his expression froze for a second. Following the gaze of the security chief of the "Flying Bird", Lumian also looked towards the ocean, only to see a huge shadow hidden under the undulating blue water! The waves came and the shadow disappeared.
Smaller than the Vertibird, but far superior to other marine creatures... a giant fish, or a sea monster? Lumian pondered, feeling inexplicably excited. "Honey, what are you looking at?" Gochia asked Philip who was distracted. "My sweetheart, I was wondering which restaurant to take you to later. How about first class?" Philip said casually. Just then, a thin mist rose over the sea, blocking the sunlight and making the environment gloomy. None of the passengers and crew on the deck were surprised by this. Such weather changes were characteristic of the foggy sea, but not as drastic as the violent sea connecting the northern and southern continents. While Gochia was enjoying the first foggy day of this journey, Philip raised his head, waved his right arm to the sailor on the lookout with a slightly solemn expression, and pointed 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 interest, and saw many crew members finishing their rest and returning to their respective posts, including the gunner. While he was relaxed on the outside and alert on the inside, a splashing sound was heard not far away, and a huge iron-black monster emerged from under the sea. It was a "ship" with a peculiar shape. It is entirely covered with a layer of metal, with only thin pipes extending from the top, like the eyes of a snail. In the constantly falling water, the upper part of this strange iron-black ship suddenly split open and bloomed like a flower, revealing multiple cannons, raising three masts, and creating a wide deck. On the deck, dozens or even hundreds of pirates were waving muskets and swords, making all kinds of threatening noises. The white sail rose on its own and hung on the top of the mast. Wow… Lumian exclaimed in his heart. He had never seen such a ship before. It was amazing that it could even dive into the water! Philip's expression became more serious. Gochia, who was beside him, was startled by the appearance of the pirates and instinctively shrank to her lover's side, saying close to him: "Which pirate group is this?" "The only one who controls this kind of underwater ship is 'Admiral of the Deep Sea' Hal Constantine. Judging from the size of this ship, it is probably not his flagship, but the ship of his most trusted subordinate, 'Bonebreaker' Basil, the 'Black Octopus.'" Philip's tone was no longer frivolous, and his voice was quite heavy. When Gochia heard this, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted. Last night, when Philip was chatting with them, he introduced all the sea kings and pirate generals. Among them, Hal Constantine, who changed from "lieutenant general" to "admiral" in public opinion, was a more mysterious one. It is said that he has the bloodline of a sea monster and once entered a ruin that sank to the bottom of the sea, and obtained the relics of some alchemists in ancient times - two "stealth ships" that can sail on the seabed when folded together, and act like normal ships when unfolded. The Church of the God of Steam and Machinery gained inspiration from this, and after a long period of research, it also created several underwater ships, but these could not be mass-produced and relied on the abilities of higher-sequence Beyonders, making it difficult for them to become the decisive weapon for the major fleets of Intis. They could only be equipped with one or two ships each to perform special functions. The two ships of "Admiral of the Deep" include one as huge as the "Flying Bird" and named "News", which is taken from one of the most famous treasure legends on the sea and is Hal Constantine's flagship. The other is the "Black Octopus" that has just emerged from the sea. It was handed over by "Admiral of the Deep" to his most trusted subordinate, "Bone Breaker" Basil. He was also very powerful and cruel, and he liked to torture and kill captured crew members and passengers, so his bounty was much higher than that of most pirates who were not at the "General" level, as much as 25 Felgin. After hearing that the person who appeared before her was the "Black Octopus" and the "Bonebreaker" Basil, Gochia felt sincerely desperate. How could an armed merchant ship like the "Flying Bird" deal with these famous pirates? Given Basil’s reputation as the “Bone Breaker”, everyone’s ending is predictable! At this moment, Philip's attention was all on the unfolding "Black Octopus" and the cannons that could be fired at any time. He had no intention of comforting his new lover.
When Lumian, who was not far from them, heard that this was the "Black Octopus", a ship commanded by "Admiral of the Deep Sea" Hal Constantine's strongest subordinate, "Bonebreaker" Basil, he was not nervous at all. Instead, he felt excited, as if he smelled the scent of iron and blood. This is one of the manifestations of the "hunter"'s bellicosity. Even if they have completely digested the potions, Beyonders will still be affected by them to a certain extent. Lumian stared at the strange black iron ship with eagle-like green eyes, thinking about how to fight next: When Basil the Bonebreaker appeared and the two ships were close to each other, and what he saw was what he got, he "teleported" directly behind the big pirate and used the "Hum Ha Technique"; If the effect of the "Heng Ha Technique" is not as expected and the opponent has not fainted, then put on the "torture" gloves to induce a certain desire in him, then "teleport" again, increase the distance, blow the "Hate Movement" to detonate that severely excessive desire; While Basil the Bonebreaker is severely injured and briefly incapacitated, Lumian will approach again and unleash the full power of the Hunter to blast the enemy into pieces. During this process, in order to avoid being disturbed by the surrounding pirates, you can try to create a "Fictional Bottle" and pull out the "Bone Breaker" Basil for a one-on-one duel... The complete plan and emergency measures flashed through Lumian's mind quickly, causing his body to tremble slightly, as if he was looking forward to a hearty battle. When the naval battle between the two ships was about to break out, the pirates on the "Black Octopus" turned around one after another and looked in shock at the stairs leading to the depths of the ship. Just a few seconds later, this strange iron-black ship suddenly turned the rudder and sailed away into the distance. Those parts of it that were open gradually closed up, resealing the interior. In the eyes of Lumian and others, the "Black Octopus" was rapidly distancing itself from the enemy while diving into the seabed. It eventually turned into a shadow and then disappeared into the foggy sea. "Run, ran away?" After a long time, Gochia came back to her senses, and turned her head to ask her lover in surprise, joy and confusion. Are "Bonebreaker" Basil and his "Black Octopus" leaving now? The fighting hasn't started yet, and no looting has been done! Philip looked at the place where the "Black Octopus" disappeared in doubt and forced a smile: "Didn't I tell you that I know a lot of big pirates?"
