Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 214 The First Friend Made at Sea

Odysseus, who was just strolling around Bayam, unexpectedly encountered a long-planned assassination.

However, the target of the assassination was not Odysseus, so he could sit on the street, drink beer and watch the fun.

The bearded pirate must have received the news long ago that the pirate with half a nose missing would have dinner here tonight, so he pretended to have a fight with others and pretended not to be very good at fighting during the fight, so that everyone would think he was just an ordinary person.

Then approach the target and launch a sneak attack when the target is not paying attention.

In Odysseus's opinion, the bearded pirate's acting skills were very good. At least passers-by, including him, were deceived by him and thought that his fighting ability was not very strong.

If he hadn't looked at Odysseus for a second longer, Odysseus wouldn't have noticed him and would have missed this great show.

At this time, the long-bearded pirate smashed the dining table in a sneak attack. Although he failed to hurt the pirate with half a nose missing, the damaged table knocked down his three subordinates. At this time, the long-bearded pirate only had one enemy left.

The pirate who was missing half of his nose suddenly had a ball of fire in his hand, and he hastily threw a fireball at the long-bearded pirate.

Odysseus made a judgment: this was an "arsonist".

The bearded pirate dodged the hasty blow by leaping sideways, drawing his revolver at the same moment.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang~
The long-bearded pirate fired six shots, firing all his bullets, four of which hit the target.

It was an extraordinary weapon. One of the bullets produced cold frost. After the bullet hit the pirate who had half of his nose missing, the muscles around the wound froze. Although this prevented him from bleeding, his movements immediately slowed down.

As the gunshots rang out, passers-by screamed and fled, and soon, only a few people were left on the busy street.

Except for Odysseus and another drunkard, the others were drunkards who had drunk too much and were unable to move.

Odysseus glanced at another drinker not far away, who was also looking at Odysseus. The two smiled at each other and continued to watch the battle over there.

The pirate, who was missing half of his nose, was hit by four bullets. Even the Beyonder at Sequence 7 was seriously injured.

At the same time, the flame in his hand also became much dimmer.

Odysseus understood after a little thought that the bearded pirate was using the ability of "bribe + weakening", and from the way he drew his gun, it seemed that he had planned to deal with the enemy in this way a long time ago.

It would be best if that punch just now could hit the target, but even if it missed, it would still be enough to take care of the enemy's subordinates.

What actually kills the target is a close range shot.

At such a close distance, the opponent still responded hastily. It was a blessing from God that he was able to dodge two shots.

The long-bearded pirate's final attack began. He caught up with the fleeing pirate with half his nose missing and knocked him to the ground with a punch.

The bearded pirate was very strong and with another punch he broke several ribs on the opponent's back.

The "arsonist" began to beg for mercy, but the long-bearded pirate seemed not to hear him. He drew his dagger and blinded the other's eyes.

The "arsonist" seemed to recognize the attacker: "You are Bazel! I was just following orders..."

He wanted to continue speaking, but the bearded pirate stabbed his dagger into his mouth, breaking his tongue.

Finally, the bearded pirate slit the throat of the "arsonist" as if performing some kind of ritual, watched his blood spurt out, and watched him struggle and twitch on the ground.

After the target was dead, the long-bearded pirate used a dagger to cut off the opponent's head, put it into a cloth bag that had been prepared long ago, and left immediately.

At this time, Odysseus and another drinker had already stood up. Firstly, they were on guard against the long-bearded pirates, and secondly, they knew that the excitement was over and the police and official extraordinary people would arrive soon, so they should leave here as soon as possible.

The long-bearded pirate looked deeply at Os and the other drinker, then looked away and continued to escape.

Odysseus was about to leave when he suddenly glanced at the corpse over there. The long-bearded pirate might not know something about the extraordinary characteristics, or he might not have time to wait for the extraordinary characteristics to be released.

But Odysseus was cautious and did not take the body away because there was a drunkard next to him.

The drunkard seemed to understand Odysseus's idea and possessed the corresponding knowledge. He smiled and said, "I also want to take the body away, but it is a burden to me.

"If you can take it away immediately, please do so.

"But I was hoping you could treat me to another drink somewhere else."

Odysseus nodded and said, "Okay, you choose the place."

As the drinker left, he said, "Seaweed Bar."

Odysseus no longer hesitated, quickly approached the corpse, grabbed the corpse's shoulders, and then used his "travel" ability to take it away.

The drunk who was leaving quickly looked back and saw Odysseus disappearing: "'Travel'!"

He continued running: My feeling was right, this guy is not simple.

Everyone knows that the ability to "travel" is useful, which is why the seals of this path have always been scarce. If you don't have the support of an organization, or are very rich and lucky, it is difficult to obtain the seals of this path.

……

On the other side, Odysseus traveled through the spirit world and came to an uninhabited island near Blue Mountain Island. After waiting for more than ten minutes, his extraordinary characteristics emerged.

It was a red object in the shape of a heart, with a barely visible flame gushing out from a small hole in the "heart".

It is indeed an extraordinary characteristic of an "arsonist".

Odysseus placed his nature into the "wilderness of knowledge" and kicked the corpse into the sea.

He was not afraid of getting into any trouble. After all, ordinary divination would be blocked by the "wilderness of knowledge", and he now had the ability to "travel", which made him more courageous.

If you can't win, run away and disappear.

Odysseus used his own spiritual power to check that he had not been stained with the corpse's blood or left any traces, then used the "Travel Ring" to return to Bayam.

The gunshots just now did not affect the bustle of this prosperous city, but two streets were temporarily blocked.

He came to a fairly busy street, asked someone about the location of the "Seaweed Bar", and found the drinker at a booth there.

It was the peak time for the bar business, and amidst the hustle and bustle, the two men greeted each other and shook hands.

Odysseus smiled and said, "It's my treat today, order whatever you want."

However, if the price exceeded 20 pounds, he would use his "travel ring" to instantly disappear from the other person's sight. "You're welcome," the other person said, waving the wine in his hand. "This is the most famous local wine, called 'Bloody Blue Mountain Island.' A glass costs 1 pound and 12 soli, and I can drink three glasses."

Odysseus thought to himself: It is indeed a bit expensive, but it is still within an acceptable range.

He smiled and said, "I'll have a try too."

He was also very happy today. He picked up more than a thousand pounds while shopping. Anyone would be in a good mood.

The "Bloody Blue Mountain Island" that Odysseus ordered was served. This wine has two colors, red on top and blue on the bottom.

I took a sip and found the taste mellow, which was obviously different from the taste of wine.

Moreover, Odysseus' inspiration sensed that there was a hint of spirituality in this wine, which might be why it was so expensive.

"Let me introduce myself." The other party said: "Rupert Sean, adventurer."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Gandalf Gale, the gourmet."

Rupert also smiled and said, “Obviously you didn’t use your real name, and it’s not your real occupation.

"Well, I don't mind that. Everyone has secrets."

"Thank you." Odysseus leaned back in his seat and said, "I just arrived at Bayam."

"I come here often," Rupert said, holding his wine glass. "It's a great city, but the prerequisite is that you have enough gold pounds in your pocket."

Then he talked about another topic: "The man with the long beard just now is called Bazel Ryan. He used to be a pirate and now he is a bounty hunter."

Odysseus was very interested in Bazel: "You seem to know him well?"

"Many people have heard of his story." Rupert said, "He was an orphan. When he was ten years old, he accidentally saved the life of 'Severed Finger'.

“If you say ‘broken finger’, you may not remember much because he has been dead for more than five years, and no one can remember a dead pirate.

"But when Bazel was ten years old, 'Severed Finger' didn't have a nickname yet and had only been a pirate for two or three years.

"At that time, 'Severed Finger' adopted Bazel. Later, 'Severed Finger' became very successful and formed his own pirate group. Bazel also joined his pirate group.

"Later, in a naval battle, Red Lion Taylor killed Severed Finger, broke up Severed Finger's pirate group, and blinded all the captives, cut out their tongues, and finally slit their throats, letting them bleed to death in agony and fear.

"Only a few crew members, including Bazel, managed to escape. Since then, Bazel has set out to seek revenge on the Red Lion pirate group.

"The one killed today was the second mate of the Red Lion pirate group."

Odysseus commented: "A sensible avenger."

"That's a very pertinent evaluation." Rupert took a sip of wine and said with a strong desire to tell a story: "The most classic one is the negotiation between Bazel and the navy.

"After successfully escaping, it is said that Bazel promised to hand over three wanted criminals with a bounty of more than 900 pounds to the Navy free of charge, and the Navy would cancel his wanted order.

"Because the reward for Bazel is 900 pounds!
"The Navy initially refused, but Basel said that if the warrant for his arrest could be cancelled, it would prove that hunting wanted criminals could be used to obtain legal status, and more people would go hunting wanted criminals!
"The Navy was persuaded and agreed, but only gave Barzel a week.

"As you might expect, Bazel killed three wanted criminals with a reward of around 1,000 pounds within a week, and has since become a legal bounty hunter."

Rupert drank the wine in his glass. "To be honest, negotiating with the navy is really creative."

Odysseus nodded and commented, "This is a very smart young man."

He even wanted to recruit Bazel to join his pirate group.

Rupert ordered another glass of "Bloody Blue Mountain Island": "What is most talked about is that his revenge has never stopped in the past five years.

"He's already killed the Red Lion's captain and boatswain, and today he killed their second mate. Haha, I guess it'll be hard for the Red Lion to recruit any more."

Odysseus smiled, but was thinking in his heart: If the second mate is a Sequence 7, then the captain of the "Red Lion" pirate group should be a Sequence 6. This is a big pirate and he should have some background.

On the Five Seas, pirates are also divided into different levels. The highest level is of course the "Four Kings and Seven Generals". Slightly inferior pirates are called "Big Pirates", basically referring to pirates with a bounty of more than 3000 pounds.

These "big pirates" are either Sequence 7 or Sequence 6, and generally have a strong pirate group.

The next point is "Famous Pirates", which refers to pirates with bounties on their heads. Most of them are "Low-Sequence" Beyonders.

Of course, there are occasionally some vicious ordinary people who are put on bounty list, but those ordinary people are most likely to be targeted by bounty hunters and it is difficult for them to survive for too long.

The lowest level are ordinary pirates and ordinary sailors. Among them are criminals, unemployed people, and many people are forced to become pirates.

After all, people like Odysseus who dream of sailing the sea and become pirates are a minority.

If you have a stable job and a happy family, who would go to sea to fight for their life?
Rupert suddenly said with some emotion, "This is Bazel's story. I feel it is the most beautiful story I have ever heard on the sea. A son without blood avenges his father."

Odysseus raised his glass and said: "In a place where morality is lacking, any glimmer of morality is a dazzling light."

Rupert raised his glass as well. "Well said, my 'philosopher' friend."

The two men laughed and clinked their glasses.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Rupert became more talkative. He told stories about his adventures at sea. Odysseus didn't know whether they were true or just bragging.

However, he really liked listening to this kind of thing. From the other party's story, he had used his expertise in gathering intelligence to learn that the other party was from Disi County in Loen, and was a Sequence 7 Beyonder, seemingly a Beyonder of the "Monster" Path.

If he continued listening, he could even guess the specific city of the other person's hometown based on the other person's language habits.

After each of them drank three glasses of wine, Rupert stood up to say goodbye. The two shook hands and Rupert smiled and said, "My friend, I hope we will meet again."

Odysseus actually felt a little tipsy: "Yes."

After saying goodbye to Rupert, Odysseus went to a dark corner and used the "Travel Ring" to return to Lasha Island.

Odysseus was still sighing: This is the difference between the sea and the mainland. Without Backlund's restraint, there are opportunities everywhere.

But soon he could no longer feel any emotion because he could not find the Jade Palace.

This street is a straight street, and he couldn't even find the most conspicuous Jade Palace!
Odysseus exclaimed: How weird!
