v1 Chapter 224: New pirate general

After finalizing the "Thousand Skills Phantom Crystal" deal, Abner turned his gaze to the top "Mr. Fool". He hadn't forgotten the task given by Mr. "Fool" last week and the entrustment he made, so he took the initiative. Said:

"Mr. Fool, it will take a few days to complete the investigation of Baron Ramud...I don't know if your favored person is satisfied with the information I provided before?"

Although Miss Emma promised to go to the royal library to look up relevant materials, she had to arrange her time according to her own habits, otherwise it would be bad to arouse others' suspicion.

"Tower" is very efficient, and it deserves to be a well-known "hero detective"! However, he is now mentioning this incident to ask if my "favored person" is willing to accept the commission of investigating "Fallen Morning Star", right?

Klein sighed in his heart. He was prepared for the "Tower" question, so he chuckled and replied in a usual tone:

"He was very satisfied with this, so he expressed his willingness to accept the commission of investigating the source of the'Degenerate Morning Star'... Well, because of some special aspects of him, you need to provide him with some compensation."

Klein tried hard to avoid degrading terms such as "golden pound" and "money" from the "Fool" and only replaced it with compensation. He also deliberately emphasized the specialness of the "favored" to make members of the Tarot Society We focus on this aspect, while ignoring the nature of his lack of money.

As for where is "special" in the end... The favored person and the **** are the same person, and they are also very poor and weak... Isn't this "special" enough?

While complaining in his heart, Klein carefully observed the members of the Tarot Society present, and found that Miss Justice and Mr. "The Hanged Man" really looked thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking about; "Sun" didn't think about it at all, as if he was wandering beyond the sky; only Mr. "Tower" frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

It seems that Klein has fortuned this "investigation commission". Shouldn't it be dangerous? Otherwise, he wouldn't agree so happily...

As for the remuneration...I'll give a little blood. After all, after the sacrifice of "The Sun" "Thousands of Phantom Crystals" comes up, it must be stored in the "Source Fort"...it will be a storage fee...

Thinking of this, Abner deliberately said: "What do you think of 200...no, 300 pounds in return?"

Since the trophies previously seized in the Immortal Society are of great value, plus the £1,800 that Mr. "The Hanged Man" bought the formula last week, Abner is currently very rich and does not lack this money, so he appears very generous. .

300 pounds? I have seen so much money from Sir Deville until today... Klein sighed for a while, pretending not to be interested in money, and nodded indifferently:

"Reasonable transaction."

He originally wanted to add another sentence, "Although he collects compensation not because of the money itself," to improve his compulsion, but after thinking about it, he felt a bit superfluous. In case the "Tower" listened to it, he also added the sentence "If this is the case, then give me 1 penny as a symbol is good"... Isn't that self-defeating? So I had to give up.

After talking about this, the Tarot Society naturally moved to the stage of "information sharing". Alger, the "hanged man" on one side, thought for a while and took the initiative to say:

"'Admiral of Hell' Ludwell never reappeared. His fleet has been subdued, and a new pirate general was born."

Audrey "Justice" was very interested in the affairs of the pirate general, and asked in cooperation:

"What is his name? Backlund hasn't heard anything like that yet."

"The Hanged Man" Alger nodded slowly:

"She is a lady named Maria. She was not well-known before. She should be a strong man sent by the Spiritual Cult to replace Ludwell.

"However, last week she succeeded in conquering Ludwell's original first officer, second officer and third officer, demonstrating the strength of the pirate general class, and brought her own ghost ship, the pale saint, comparable to the Black Tulip. number'."

"Then what is her title?" Audrey asked curiously.

"She calls herself'Pale Admiral'... But because she has a very terrifying sword-shaped magical item called'Pale Justice', and her own swordsmanship is quite superb, so many people call her'Sword of the Sword Saintess' or'Admiral Swordsman'." Alger replied directly.

"The Saint of Sword"? Madam, did you run to the wrong set...

And ‘pale justice’? This should also be the masterpiece of Emperor Roselle, right?

Abner and Klein complained in their hearts at the same time.

"However, as soon as the new pirate admiral took over the fleet, he issued a reward for Ludwell's whereabouts... The amount is 10,000 pounds!" Alger, the "hanged man," added again seemingly inadvertently at this time. One sentence.

Give 10,000 pounds just to tell whereabouts? It seems that there is something important in Ludwell's body that needs to be recovered... is it that death ring?

But "The Hanged Man" was specifically selected to see my reaction? He suspected that I killed "Admiral of Hell"?

Abner gave Alger a thoughtful look, but didn't say anything.

"The Hanged Man" Alger saw "Tower" and did not answer, so he sighed in disappointment and stopped speaking.

After seeing Mr. "The Hanged Man", Audrey also talked about the changes in Backlund in the past week, mainly about the review progress of the "Public Service Assessment" proposal in the two houses.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Derrick the Sun who was sitting blankly on the opposite side, so she moved in her heart and asked:

"Mr. "Sun", I wonder if you can share the situation of "Silver City" and "God Abandoned Land"? I can pay compensation. I don't know what you need?"

Derrick was taken aback for a moment, and then some incoherent words:

"I don't have any items that I desperately want to get recently... I should be able to digest the'Clarator' potion soon, and I can accumulate it there first if I am rewarded. Well... But in fact, I don't know which items are important to you. So I don’t know what to say."

Audrey was keenly aware of the word "digestion" and asked deliberately:

"Mr. "Sun", have you mastered the "playing method"?"

Derrick looked at Miss Justice ~lightnovelpub.net~ calmly replied:

"This is not something to be surprised... The general class in Silver City teaches the ‘playing method’."

The general class is teaching "playing method"... Audrey glanced at "The Hanged Man" and found that the other party was also looking at herself, and both of them fell silent suddenly.

It turns out that only the two of them didn't know this method.

At this moment, "The Hanged Man" Alger seemed to think of something, and tentatively asked: "Mr. Sun, have you clearly stated the precautions for the "playing method"?"

"Yes." Derrick nodded without hesitation. "Our general education class is very clear. There is only one precaution for the'playing method','remember, you are just playing'."

Just as I expected... We are using clever ways to bypass the barriers and completely dissolve the residual spiritual influence in the potion, instead of succumbing to it... "Sun", you are really a simple boy, just like this. Important information has been scammed...

Klein held back the urge to hold his forehead and thought to himself.
