Chapter 255: New Captain of the Magic Ship (Added for If There Were No Ifs-dA)

A few days later,
Siren Port!
It was another sunny day with not a single cloud in the sky, but a fog was moving over the sea, followed by several pirate ships.

A militiaman on the watchtower saw this scene. The scene of the pirate attack some time ago was replayed in his mind. He rang the bronze bell almost as if he was electrocuted.

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!
The urgent ringing of bells echoed in the Siren Harbor, causing the originally peaceful people to once again fall into the fear of being dominated by pirates. Countless people fled in panic, causing great chaos.

Fortunately, the security team led by Grand Knight Thor took to the streets again to maintain order and evacuate the crowd.

But what no one expected was that this time, the Mage Tower did not light up, and had no intention of taking action.

Until the fog approached and dispersed, a magic warship slowly turned sideways, the gangway was lowered, and one by one the lion knights strode out of it.

Then, a moment later, a piece of news spread out like a hurricane.

The Mist Pirates were destroyed, and their proud magic warship was also taken by the Raymond family.

Davis, one of the three great pirate kings of the Silver Sea, the one-eyed man who could stop children from crying, just died like that!
And all of this was accomplished by the new Lion King who led his troops personally!

The truth is, when the news first spread, no one believed it and thought it was an exaggeration.

If the new Earl was really that powerful, he would not have adopted the defensive strategy before!

But as more and more knights gave vivid descriptions, and merchant sailors told their personal experiences, even on the coast, the bodies of pirates were impaled on crosses and hung...

They have to believe it!

Then, no one knew who started it, but cheers could be heard all over the Siren Harbor.

They chanted the name of 'Lion King Loyi', from a few to countless, from endless to uniform.

They stamped their feet and patted their chests, with no trace of concealment of the fanaticism and excitement on their faces, as if they could shake the earth and shock the sky.

Luo Yi stood at the highest point of the Mage Tower. He opened the window and let the strong wind and the sound waves pour into his ears.

He opened his arms involuntarily, as if he was enjoying the cheers of the crowd, and his body was shaking slightly.

But in fact, only he himself knew that after the influx of the power of unity, his [Lion King] was once again greatly stimulated and grew at an extremely exaggerated speed.

The dark golden blood of the Golden Lion was like a vine, climbing along the blood vessels, growing faster and faster amid wave after wave of cheers.

In the back, more of the golden lion's blood actually seeped into the blood vessels, as if it had seeped into the gaps between the cells, causing a deeper fusion.

Of course, the so-called fast and slow actually depends on who you are comparing with.

Compared to the normal speed of cultivation, this kind of progress is definitely extremely fast.

But don't forget that the length of the human body's blood vessels, including arteries, veins and capillaries, is about 96000 kilometers.

That’s 96,000 kilometers of blood vessels. The loss required to cover it all is simply unimaginable!
However, it is worth mentioning that the eight thickest and strongest blood vessels extending from the heart are almost fully covered.

In fact, Luo Yi can guide the spread of the golden lion blood to a certain extent.

After realizing that full coverage was impossible to achieve in a short period of time, he began to think about how to maximize benefits.

After much thought, he decided to guide the growth independently and complete the eight blood vessels extending from the heart.

By that time, he would have to be at least at the level of [Lion King LV3 (99/100)], and his blood vessels’ tolerance to fighting spirit would definitely increase greatly.

When the cheers finally came to an end, the strongest power of faith also receded like a tide.

Luo Yi opened his eyes and felt a little lost in his heart, but when he looked down, he saw a group of militiamen erecting a cross.

The pirate corpses above all had their heads hung, eyes wide open, as if they died with their eyes open.

Luo Yi couldn't help but turn around, looked at Iron Knight Phil, and asked, "Is it necessary to do this?"

"It's not that I care about these pirates, but I think doing this might breed the plague!"

Before the Iron Knight Phil could reply, the Mage Walter said, "Lord Earl, don't worry!
All corpses have been processed by us, so there will be no plague, and it is even less likely that they will be controlled by magicians such as necromancers, so safety is guaranteed."

Walter was very excited at this moment, and he seemed to be immersed in an atmosphere called happiness and couldn't extricate himself.

So much so that his teacher, Ms. Palacios, couldn't help but roll her eyes to the sky when she heard him interrupt.

Iron Knight Phil smiled and said, "Master, we know you are kind and would not do this.

But in reality, pirates are a bunch of bullies who only care about food and not about punishment."

"They fear power but not virtue. The only way we can deter them is to show enough strength, reveal our fangs and ferocity."

"Believe me, if the coastline of Flower Territory is covered with dead pirates, no pirate group will dare to attack us again."

Luo Yi was not someone who would not listen to advice, and what's more, Iron Knight Phil understood the pirate rules better than him. So, he nodded and said, "Since you are so sure, let's do as you say!"

Having said that, he looked at the three fourth-order natural disasters and said, "After dealing with the Mist Pirates, our Flower Territory should be able to have some peace for a while.

You have been busy with me and fighting all the time, so I can't help but show my appreciation."

"Needless to say, I will give you an extra 10% on top of what I promised you before."

Seeing that they were about to speak, Luo Yi waved his hand again and said, "It's not that I don't want to give more, but your cultivation needs are already exaggerated. Now adding 10% is the limit.

As long as the territory develops and magic machinery becomes popular, these won’t matter.”

"If you have any urgent needs, you can also tell me. I have some connections in the Habsburg Empire."

What Luo Yi said was absolutely sincere. From the time he entered the Norman Duchy, these fourth-level people had really been making an effort.

So, he really wanted to give more benefits.

After a pause, he looked at Walter again and said uncertainly: "Master Walter, is it really okay for me to hand over my magic warship to you?"

Walter patted his chest and said, “Absolutely no problem!”

Roy naturally did not regret killing Davis, but he did encounter a lot of trouble afterwards.

The simplest thing is, how to make this magic ship move?
As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. Ms. Palacios felt helpless facing this magic ship. She was proficient in water spells and potions, but other things were not her strong points.

Until Walter stood up!
He was good at magic runes and could talk about it very well, but when he actually put it into practice, he seemed very unfamiliar with it.

The result was that several accidental touches caused the magic warship to go crazy on the sea.

Sometimes it was as slow as a turtle, sometimes it flew up quickly, sometimes it dived directly into the water, and sometimes it was completely foggy and it was impossible to tell the direction.

In short, it is really not easy to drive this ship to Siren Port.

Therefore, after hearing Walter's assurance, Luo Yi was really a little scared. He couldn't help but ask again: "New captain of the magic ship, can I give you more trust?"

The words were directed to Walter, but Chloe's eyes turned to Ms. Palacios.

This lady always looked like she was living a "peaceful life", but at this moment, facing Luo Yi's question, she gave a helpless smile and nodded seriously!
There is no way. Although the magic warship is not as good as the wizard tower, the elemental pool inside is also indispensable.

Only with the help of the elemental pool can a third-level extraordinary wizard quickly accumulate magic power and have the opportunity to break through to the fourth level.

This is certainly not absolute, but it at least increases the possibility by 30%. Which mage would not be tempted?

For this reason, what does it matter if I drift on the sea every day?
It was for this reason that, even though she knew that her disciple was a little stubborn, she had no choice but to stand up for him.

After receiving the affirmation from Ms. Palacios, Roy no longer hesitated.

"I promise to complete the mission. Wherever the Earl's sword points is the direction I will move forward."

"Then I will leave this ship to you. You must learn how to steer it in the shortest possible time.

After that, I will equip you with a batch of the latest magic cannons, the fourth generation ones.

If necessary, you will be the fire output part."

"I will definitely live up to my mission!"

"That's good!"

After a pause, Luo Yi continued, "I will arrange for people to count the gold coins and wealth on the pirate ship, and the information we found must not be made known to anyone."

"Yes!"

Otto asked again: "How many days does the master plan to stay in Siren Port?"

"Stay for another two or three days, take care of some business, and then you have to go back."

Just then, there was a knock on the door!
Everyone's eyes converged, and Ms. Palacios said softly, "It's Grand Knight Commander Thor!"

She waved her hand, the door opened, and Grand Knight Thor stepped in.

He looked around and immediately came to Loyi, handed him a letter, and said, "My Lord, this is a letter from Grand Duchess Aphra to you. I sent it to you as fast as I can. I dare not delay."

Luo Yi took it, glanced at the letter, and opened it after making sure there was no problem.

However, after a quick glance, his expression became even more strange.
