Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

Chapter 65 Rules are meant to be broken!

"How's it going, Captain, what did my uncle say to you?" As soon as he saw Rune walking out of the study, Castretto immediately approached him and asked.

"You said you want me to help you get first place in the sea hunting exam."

"Then, what?" Castretto was like a child, clenching his hands in front of his chest, "Did he promise anything to you?"

Lu En glanced at him and said nothing for the time being.

"No way?" Seeing Lu En's state, Castretto quickly pulled him back, "No, no, no, how can you not give me any benefits? I'll take you back to find him!"

Seeing Castretto's appearance, Rune couldn't help but chuckle.

Is the little fanboy still useful sometimes?
All he wanted to do was take his uncle's wool with him.

I don’t know what Admiral Niels’ expression would be like if he found out.

But seeing the anxious look on Casrito's face, Rune didn't intend to tease him anymore.

"Admiral Niers promised me that if I help you get first place in the sea hunting exam, he will let me go to the Knight Tower for further training."

"What?! Knight Tower?" Castretto, who was still complaining about Rune just now, suddenly changed his face again, completely losing his "knightly" demeanor, "Holy crap! You mean the Knight Tower!"

"Is the Knight Tower very powerful?" Lu En also thought that the Knight Tower would be a good place to practice.

But judging from the appearance of Castrituo, it seemed that he had underestimated this place.

"So Captain Luen, you don't know about Knight Tower"

Casrito took a deep breath,

"In the early days of the establishment of the empire, mages and wizards built their own academies, named wizard tower and wizard tower."

"The mage tower studies spells and scrolls, and the wizard tower studies potions and alchemy."

"Between the two towers, countless talented mages and wizards gathered, turning it into a holy place, which led to a temporary trend in the magic system."

"The knight faction gradually weakened between the two towers. In desperation, three legendary knights took the lead and established the knight tower to specialize in mental, spiritual and combat skills."

"Thus, the empire's three-tower structure was formed, and the organization 'Three Towers Society' was also established."

"According to the decree issued by the 'Emperor', every principality, big family, and big force can send a fixed number of people to the Three Pagodas for further training every three years."

"Every three years in Beloberg, there are only five places in the Knight Tower, plus our family's places, there are only seven in total."

After saying that, Castretto looked at Rune with eyes full of envy.

"I've asked my uncle for a spot many times, but he won't give it to me. It's because of your pride, Captain."

After hearing Castretto's narration, Rune began to pay more and more attention to Admiral Niels' previous promise.

He originally thought that the Knight Tower was just an academy of the Knight Sect in Belloberg.

Now it seems that it is not that simple!
As a principality, Beloberg only has five quotas in three years.
There are only two places for the Vasek family.

This shows how precious this quota is.

"So, we must win first place in this sea hunting test." Lu En said.

In order to enter the Knight Tower, this time I have to try my best.

Casrito nodded and said, "That's natural, but there are only two days before the sea hunting exam. How should we prepare?"

"That's too simple." Rune looked at Castretto, "I need you to do four things."

"Captain, you tell me, I'll remember it." Castretto took out a small notebook with him.

Lu En said: "The first thing is to send a group of people out to investigate the preparations of other young lions."

"Yes." Castretto wrote down, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle."

"The second thing is, all the people who come to invest in you, write down the list and give it to General Niels, let him decide whether to accept the investment."

"That's okay. Although asking for help from my uncle is a bit against the rules, based on the relationship between my uncle and I, we should really consider the impact on the family." Casrito wrote it down again.

"The third thing is, there was a nautical chart on your uncle's table just now. I need you to steal that thing."

"This" Castretto hesitated.

Lu En said calmly: "I have observed that picture before, which recorded the distribution of various sea beast branches and some small strongholds of the Hydra Church in the Beloberg Sea. You said that he is a general, so he has nothing to do with that picture. Why show it off? This is not something he worries about."

Casrito suddenly realized, "Captain, you mean, uncle, he did it on purpose."

"Shhh" Lu En signaled to be silent, "It should be easy for you to get that picture. Apart from that thing, if your uncle has any useful props, please take them out together."

"Okay, okay."

"One last thing." Lu En said, "I need you to contact the major from last time. What's his name? Major Abi! Borrow a Beloberg main battleship!"

"Borrow a main battleship?" Castretto's voice rose a little, "Will this be judged as a violation of the rules? The main battleship's combat effectiveness far exceeds that of 'Sequence 8' in terms of ratings."

"This is indeed a problem." Lu En thought about it for a while, "Can we temporarily remove the battleship's main gun and install it on the ship we are going to go to sea on?"

"No." Castretto shook his head crazily, "This is against the laws of the navy. If you are caught, you will lose your head! Navy main battleships can only cruise in designated areas or be on standby. Special circumstances can be reported and rushed to certain sea areas. support"

Lu En was not surprised by Castretto's answer.

As the important combat capability of Beloberg, the main battleship must not leave the defense without authorization even when facing a ceremony such as the "Sea Hunting Examination".

This involves Beloberg's defense and security issues.

but
Lu En narrowed his eyes, "Then let Major Abi apply for the exercise. The exercise route will be consistent with our sea route."

"Exercise. Is this okay?" Casrito asked, "In the end, what if others still say we violated the rules?"

"Breaking the rules?" Luen looked at Castretto, "Others don't violate the rules? I don't believe they don't have some secret tricks. Besides, Major Abi violated the exercise ban, what does it have to do with us?"

When Casrito heard this, his eyes lit up, "Yes! Major Abi violated the ban, what does it have to do with me? Captain, I've realized it again!"

Two days flew by.

In Lysa's alchemy workshop, little Carter was carefully counting the gold and silver nuggets on the ground.

These gold and silver nuggets were all melted from the gold cups and silver plates she stole at the Wasek family banquet.

After conversion, it is worth five gold coins and more than three hundred silver coins.

All of it was treated as her pocket money.

It is said that after the banquet that day, the person in charge was extremely confused about the theft of cups and plates, but in the end there was no result.

After all, the people who come are either descendants of the family or decorated sergeants.

No one seems bored enough to steal some cups and plates.

In the end, it can only be reported as "accidentally lost".

As for Rune, in the past two days, in addition to replenishing ammunition and remaking two "Ultimate Explosive Bombs", he has been studying the gadgets in his hands.

[Wonderful Object]: A shabby old pocket watch

[Level]: Epic lv.30
[Ability (slow motion)]: Designate a target with sequence 7 or below, causing the opponent to slow down time for 1.5 seconds; consumes 500 spiritual points, and has a cooling time of 1 natural day.

[Ability (Energy Burst)]: Every 1 minute, (50) spiritual points will be restored to the holder.

PS: The pocket watch that Admiral Niels collected in the early years is just a souvenir; the surface is badly damaged and it seems to be on the verge of being scrapped. Use it and cherish it.

It was exactly two days ago that during the Lion Ceremony, Rune used his "bandit" ability to steal an epic rare item from Admiral Niers.

And this prop is the most incredible thing that has been obtained so far, other than the "naturally rare devil pepper".

Luen tested the "time lag" ability on little Carter.

The effect is horrific.

As the "Shadow Dancer" sequence, Little Carter is in full state. Under the slowdown in time, the whole person is like a person in a movie that has been slowed down by 80% in slow motion.

And she doesn't realize it yet. A 1.5 second time lag can definitely determine the outcome of a battle, or even life or death, at a critical moment.

Coupled with its second ability "Energy Burst", it ensures the holder's energy recovery during long-term battles.

Especially for Rune whose spiritual value is not enough now, it is just right.

The only shortcoming of this pocket watch may be its durability.

Every time it is used, there will be an additional crack on it.

Today's pocket watches can no longer last long.

So far, the bandits have used it three times, twice with good luck and once with excellent luck.

It added a lot of help to Lu En's growth path.

This also made Lu En realize that having extra spiritual value when breaking through the sequence seemed to be something worth doing.

After all, the last promotion sequence was the "Characteristic Promotion" caused by the extra spiritual value, which turned "stealing" into "banditry", and the effect was beyond imagination.

"Captain, that 'Casrito' is here." After a while, Lesa, who was wandering outside, pushed the door open and entered.

Castretto followed closely behind, "Captain Luen, everything is ready."

"Then let's go." Lu En had nothing to prepare.

After staying in the city for many days, I have long missed the free wind on the sea.

Belloberg port, early morning.

The sky has not yet fully opened, and the port of Belloberg is already congested.

Just looking at the number of people, it was at least five times more than the number of people coming and going from the port at this point in the past.

"Sea Hunting Test", the last attempt of the Wasek family lion cub, attracted the attention of countless people.

Castretto followed Rune aboard their ship this time.

A light transport ship with a length of 20 meters, a width of 4 meters and a draft of 1.2 meters, named "Riptide".

It comes with 10 12-pound sideguns and no main gun.

However, an alchemy machine called "Overload Turbine" is attached, which can increase the sailing speed to a certain extent in a short period of time.

All in all, it was even cruder than Luen's "Survivor" before.

But this is also the highest-level ship allowed by the rules in the Sea Hunting Examination.

As one of the "potential stocks" this time, Lu En and others have attracted a lot of attention.

Including their opponents.

Rune, Castretto, and Little Carter returned to the captain's cabin and unfolded the chart they had stolen from Admiral Niers.

"Captain, I've been studying this map for two days, and I've basically decided on the itinerary."

Castretto picked up the pencil and started sketching on the map, "Look, in fifteen days, we will start from Belloberg Port. We can reach the King Squid area in one day, and then in the next two days, we will arrive at the King Squid area. Head to the 'Pearl Fish' waters."

"Then we move forward, spend a week hunting the 'Deep Blue Whale', and return home in the remaining time."

"These three prey are qualified enough. It will be difficult for others to catch up."

After Lu En listened silently, he did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he asked: "Do you know the information and routes of the main competitors?"

"We have collected some, but they are not very accurate." Kasruituo said, "The main competitors at present are Liad, Yohn, and Rovshan. Their men heard that their men participated in the sea hunting sequence. There are dozens of 8 Transcendents each. But we are not bad either, with fifteen Sequence 8s."

"Yes." Lu En nodded, "Next, follow my command."

"Say what you say." Casrito stood ready.

Lu En said: "Send seven weaker Sequence 8 Extraordinaries, and according to your plan, lead a large force to the King Squid area and the Pearl Fish area for sea hunting, and then send five more powerful Sequence 8 Extraordinaries to quietly Head directly to the Deep Blue Whale area for sea hunting without making any noise.”

"You mean, separate?"

"Yes, in this operation, we should not only consider how much seafood is caught, but also how much can be brought back." Lu En said.

Castretto thought thoughtfully, "Then there are three Sequence 8 Transcendents left."

"Let them follow the three main competitors, hanging from a distance, and inform us of information at any time."

"Okay." Castretto immediately went to give the order, and his ships immediately left the port.

When he returned to the captain's cabin, he remembered something, "Captain. What about us? What are we going to do?"

Rune looked at Castretto with a smile, "They hunt for seafood, and we hunt for lion cubs."

The sea outside Belloberg is calm.

Liad's fleet has a total of fifteen ships, with a total of 20 Sequence 8s helping out.

He was full of confidence in this sea hunt.

Since the last time he was shot away by Casrito, he had not thought about food or tea in the past two days.

Finally enlightened.

What bullshit rules.

Rules are meant to be broken!
Only the one standing at the end is the winner!

So for this sea hunt, he also brought some exclusive props, as well as several scrolls that clearly violated the rules and were secretly hidden.

As for other competitors, he also has corresponding understanding.

Especially Castretto, that guy still carried out sea hunting step by step. Think he can win with just one sea chart?
Think more!
On my side, I have made sufficient plans!

You can definitely catch the most valuable seafood.

The sea breeze blows on your face, it is the breath of victory.
Liad is full of confidence and the ship has sailed into the predetermined sea area.

At this moment, someone from the side came to report.

"Report to Lieutenant Liad that a pirate ship has been spotted fifteen nautical miles away from us!"

Liad frowned, "How can there be a pirate ship so close to the Port of Belloberg? It's too bold, intercept it directly! Speaking of which, this pirate can be considered a 'sea cargo', right? I hope it's a big one." Pirate leader with a bounty!”

After he finished speaking, the person below hesitated, "Well... after the pirate ship, there is Belloberg's fleet chasing him!"

"Huh? Is there already a fleet chasing him?" Liad immediately set up a telescope to see who would take action first.

The pictures inside the telescope made him more and more confused as he looked at them.

Because not far behind the pirate ship, there turned out to be Beloberg's main battleship!
Moreover, the distance between the pirate ship and the main battleship is not far.

According to common sense, for a pirate ship like that, the main battleship can stop the opponent with one shot.

But why? The two sides were just chasing each other and not firing?
Look at the gun barrel of the main battleship. It is being adjusted and seems to be preparing to fire.

Hmm, but the angle seems a bit wrong, as if it's facing your own fleet?

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Thinking of this, a horrifying idea suddenly appeared in Liad's mind.

No way.
Done!

This main battleship is coming for you!
