I Just Wanted To Retire and I Was Forced To Become a General

v2 Chapter 572: The Vanishing Demon of Kortiga

Warship, out of G-5.

Cullo took Lida and Chloe, as well as the navy that came out of the headquarters, to Kortiga, which Smog said.

"Kortiga, the Long Serpent Islands, has a lot of residents. There is no king here. They are all based in towns and villages. It is an earthquake island."

At this time, Clow took the investigation report obtained from G-5 and reported to Clow.

At this moment, Clow stared at Lida, who was excitedly unpacking snacks in the warship's office. With a click of her finger, the snack bag floated out of her hand and flew towards Cullo quickly.

"Hey, Clow!"

Lida, like a tiger protecting its calf, jumped over with a roar, only to hold his head with one hand and the snack in the other, eating leisurely before asking, "Earthquake Island? "

Seeing this scene, Crow twitched the corners of his mouth.

There's no end to your bad fun, isn't it?

"Yes, Earthquake Island, originally such an archipelago should not cause earthquakes, but since more than 20 years ago, there have been inexplicable earthquakes here. The amplitude was very light at first, but it became more frequent later." Clodow.

"So, what about that demon rumor, why did people disappear?"

"I don't know, it's just a rumor, there's no information, but the most recent incident is this..."

Crow came over, spread out the map, pointed to the frontmost island in the archipelago, and said, "According to the information from G-5, in the past two days, the population here has disappeared the most, all of them unknowingly. When they were found, there were traces of cooking fires in their homes, but the people disappeared mysteriously, and there was no trace of any battle, so now this rumor is called by the G-5 Navy as 'Kortiga' the vanishing demon'."

"Now people, when they have nothing to do, they like to add a bit of mystery and horror to the unknown. Those who seem incompetent are not so incompetent."

Cullo pouted, "Where is the devil, either a capable person or an experienced one."

There is a ghostly mystery in this world, and basically it is clearly displayed on the table for you.

In the past, giants, demons, long-handed and short-handed, etc. must be fantastic, mysterious, and terrifying.

Coupled with the ability of devil fruit, in an era of a little ignorance, it is a proper mysterious fantasy style.

But knowing everything, it all seemed so normal.

The only thing with mystery is the treasure.

But the more you get to the new world, the less like pirates those pirates are.

What treasure hunting, looting, exploring pirate legends, all gone, all gone.

Especially after the great pirate era.

What's trending in the new world right now?

Seize territory, collect protection fees, and conquer across the sea.

These four emperors often do things.

The dryness of real swords and real guns, but lacks a little sense of adventure.

However, what does this have to do with him, Cullo.

He is not a pirate.

"However, Kortiga has a good specialty. Their tobacco leaves are well made, but they are all treasures and are very difficult to grow. Every time a small amount of goods is sold, they are robbed." Crow said.

This made Cullo's eyes light up, he ate two more snacks, and then returned the snack bag to Lida, who hugged the snack bag tightly and rushed out, sticking out a small head at the door, full of He stared at Cullo vigilantly and angrily, eating snacks very quickly there.

"Then you must go and have a look." Chloe said with great interest.

No pirates, just an ordinary so-called rumor, plus the rare tobacco leaves... He Cullo is very interested!

Two days later, the warship arrived at its destination.

The Cortija Islands are a chain of islands in the shape of a long snake. The estrangement between the islands is not too serious. You can swim there, and there are no pirate flags hanging. It is an ordinary archipelago in the New World.

The place where they landed was a port village. There were several boats parked around, and they were docked alone. There was no sound in the whole village.

After Cullo walked down, he glanced at the unloaded goods on the dock. There were traces of people carrying them. The time would not exceed three days. That is to say, there were still people moving goods here three days ago, but they were inexplicable. disappeared.

"It's true that there are no traces of battle..."

Cullo bit his cigar and glanced at the quiet village, "It's not crowded either."

"Yes, Mr. Clow, I didn't find the breath of people, even the breath of animals, disappeared in the vicinity."

A red glow appeared in Crow's pupils, and under investigation, he didn't find any breath.

"Go and see."

Cullo took a vote of navy and went to the village ahead.

This is a small village, a very peaceful small village. Judging from the style of the building, this place has never been attacked by pirates. After all, it is close to G-5, and the combat power of this base is very strong.

Cullo looked around, and the smoke from some houses was still wafting up.

He reached a building at random, pushed open the door and entered ~lightnovelpub.net~ and glanced.

The house is not big, there are two rooms in one living room. The table in the living room is still placed with food. There are plates and knives and forks on the table. But the man suddenly disappeared, causing the fork to fall out of his hand in this strange arrangement.

There is no trace, it does seem to disappear suddenly.

"Well...it always feels a little scary, Cullo." Lida stared at the dining table, trembling inexplicably, and got closer to Cullo.

"Are you kidding me?"

Kuro rolled his eyes, but there was a flash of red in his eyes.

The sights and sounds are overwhelmingly shrouded in the entire archipelago.

In his perception, sporadic and constant breath of life appeared in his perception.

There are still people in this archipelago.

and...

"There is a strong one."

Cullo looked in one direction and smiled: "Just find the strongest, he must know, or rather, he is."

Lida also turned on her knowledge at this time, and frowned, "Someone is someone, but the distance is too far, I can't perceive the intensity."

"You are slack. In the past few years, you haven't improved at all. Your mind is full of food, so be careful. It's a new world now. If you don't improve yourself, how can you be safe." Cullo said.

Lida's sense of sight was no different from the intensity when he met him back then.

Although it is still a large-scale perception, under the large-scale, only the breath of life can be sensed, and the strength cannot be felt.

Only by getting close can she determine the strength of a person's life breath.

Unlike Clow.

From the very beginning, he was able to know who was strong and who was weak by seeing, hearing and seeing, and this range has been growing.
