Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 133 132 Pirates
It took three days to fully prepare.

The War Bishop sent most of the food produced by the "0" level seal transformed by the Beyonder characteristics of the Mistress of Desolation to the Church of the Goddess of Night for distribution, and a small portion was left in the theater.

Some of the people in my father's territory are Baron Ramde's "private property", including the knights and guards, and a considerable number of them can be paid with food to provide daily food consumption.

In order to maintain order in the territory, it is obvious that suppressing by force alone does not meet Tang's expectations.

In general, this "0" level seal of the secret society came at the right time. We can't always use miracles to produce food to maintain food consumption in the theater.

Even if some of the power released from the "0" level seal is enough for Tang to support the people of his own faction in the territory.

This is the world of Extraordinary People.

After leaving, there is no certain date of return.

However, with Grandpa Pales guarding the gate, even if Tang was away for a long time, his house wouldn't be stolen. After everyone was ready and some subsequent matters were arranged, he set off for the Sonia Sea with Anjie and Olson.

Olson and Ange had to complete Sequence 4 of the Apprenticeship Path, the Mystic's Promotion Ceremony, at the Sonia Sea. Tang, on the other hand, had to pass through the ruins of the War of Gods deep in the Sonia Sea, attempt to reach the God-forsaken Land, establish a new base there, and then attempt to hunt the Dark Wolf Kotal, a Sequence 2 angel.

"On the sea, many people believe in the emperor who rules the sea."

Olson said as he traveled. As a recorder, he had been to many places before the full moon whispers became so severe, and the sea was also a place he was quite familiar with.

"After all, the Lord of Storms is the King of the Sky and the Emperor of the Sea. No matter whether it is the people in the Church of Storms or the people on the sea, they all believe in this god who controls the storm and the ocean." Tang pressed down the top hat on his head to prevent the strong wind at the seaside from blowing his hat up.

"I just wonder if the pirates who believe in him will be struck to death by lightning during a thunderstorm."

"The Lord of Storms probably doesn't have that much time to spare," Olson said casually. "But as far as I know, there were once wild Beyonder pirates who attempted to offer flesh and blood sacrifices in exchange for the Lord of Storms's attention, hoping to obtain the potion formula corresponding to the Tyrant Path... Of course, after the sacrifice was completed, they were reduced to piles of black, charred flesh."

Offering flesh and blood to the gods? Or asking for rewards from the gods in this way? What genius would do this?
Tang's mouth twitched as he summarized this incident, which could be considered an accident: "I think every Beyonder should receive appropriate mystical education. At the very least, this can significantly reduce the number of ineffective responses from the gods."

If he was the Lord of Storms, how could he dare to beg for the potion formula after being covered in blood and flesh?
He strongly disapproved of the fact that the pirate and his companions were not directly chopped into charcoal due to divine punishment.

After walking for a while, the small town on the island caught the eyes of several people.

The piracy industry in the Sonia Sea is booming in line with the current era, and the corresponding slave trade and illegal transactions are not uncommon at sea.

However, countries like Loen and Intis have not yet started the colonial war, and most merchant ships on the sea are only wandering around the newly built ports near the Sonia Sea. The pirates' targets are mostly sea merchants who travel back and forth between the various archipelagos in the Sonia Sea, trying to take a piece of the pie on the sea. Few of them will directly attack the fleets belonging to the country.

After all, it is a fleet belonging to the country. Once attacked, it is likely to cause a large-scale encirclement and suppression at the national level.

"Most merchant ships today still rely on relatively backward navigation methods, which are not very fast and cannot make a round trip across the Sonia Sea in a short period of time."

"Plus, the islands don't have abundant resources, the population is insufficient, and merchant ships don't come and go frequently, so the resources at sea are insufficient."

"However, many people are trying to profit from this. After all, new islands represent new resources, and also represent rare things that Loen, Intis, and Feysac don't have now."

The group walked out of the town created by the pirates, and as a woman, Anjie could easily feel the gazes on her.

There was almost no kindness in those eyes.

"Can we kill them all?" Anjie asked calmly, "This kind of stare makes me feel a little sick."

"Of course." Tang replied casually, "If there's a Beyonder you think is suitable, you can hang him up as a secret puppet."

For Tang's Secret Doll, the configuration of its own path + the trickster, plus its high autonomy, will not be easily affected by the problem of the spirit line. As long as it does not encounter a Demigod-level Extraordinary, the Sequence 5 Secret Doll plus the Sequence 4 Trickster's Extraordinary ability can kill indiscriminately in the low and medium sequences.

And the pirates? Not many nameless pirates are Beyonders. Even if they were, could they withstand a Sequence 5?
The pirates here all have the blood of innocent people on their hands, and no one cares if they kill them. Some people may even applaud.

"Then let's split up. Anjie, you go and see if there's any good material. Olson, you go to the places I suggested earlier and see if there's any suitable demigod-level sea monster."

Ange nodded, and so did Olson.

"Okay." Tang clapped his hands and said to the two travelers, "Then we will meet here tonight."

As for him, he was going to meet his pirate friends.

When returning to an old place, it is natural to reminisce about the past, otherwise it will become estranged and the old friendship will not be able to be maintained.

Then he will be heartbroken.

Walking among the pirates who were swearing, Tang nimbly dodged the guys who bumped into him from time to time and tried to scam him, and moved nimbly through the crowd.

Before long, he arrived in front of a pub.

The tavern with the name 'Golden Rose Tavern' written in crooked characters was bustling with people. The cheap but alcohol-smelling tavern was filled with drunken pirates lying on the floor and tables.

There was also a nauseating smell of vomit in the air.

A bit gross, but looks like business is pretty good?
Opening the door of the tavern, Tang swept his eyes over the drunken pirates, walked to the bar and tapped on the counter.

"Twopence for a glass of Sonia."

The man behind the bar said without even looking up.

Tang continued to tap on the table. The man, who looked a little sloppy but whose clothes were neatly arranged, raised his head impatiently and then stayed there.

It was visibly apparent that the tavern owner seemed to tremble all over.

Tang smiled, his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes almost exaggeratedly: "Long time no see, Ellis."

"How have you been lately?" In a weird way, Tang leaned forward with his neck stretched out like a piece of plasticine, full of weirdness.

"La, Ramde..." The tavern owner leaned back and almost fell off the stool.

He was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, with a thin but strong build. His skin was dark as if he had been exposed to the sun for a long time, his hair was messy and his beard looked like he hadn't shaved for a long time. However, he was wearing clothes that were a little faded from washing but very clean, which seemed out of place compared to the environment of the tavern.

It was hard to imagine he was the owner of this tavern filled with drunken pirates and vomit. Seeing Tang, he swallowed, then, as if remembering something, he yelled at Tang, furious, "Fuck! I've turned over a new leaf! I've turned over a new leaf! Can you please stop haunting me like this! I didn't do anything bad! Nothing!"

There were many local dialects mixed in, which Tang didn't understand, but he still knew the general meaning.

"Host, this guy is still the same as before, so rude," the system said with disdain.

Looking at the frightened former pirate, Tang retracted his overstretched neck, which looked like a monster, and looked around. "Where's Belle?"

"Sleeping upstairs." Ellis stroked his hair irritably, then glanced at the Puppet Master in front of him. Seeing that the other party had no intention of taking action, he asked, "What are you doing here? I remember our employment relationship ended a long time ago."

Tang shook his finger. "That's not what I meant. I thought our previous collaboration was quite pleasant. How could it be so distant? I thought we were at least friends."

Oh, as for what the cooperation was, he happened to be robbed by pirates on his way to the Sonia Sea to find the mermaid. After teaching these pirates a lesson, he happily reached a consensus with them and searched for the whereabouts of the mermaid together.

Emm, as for insisting that this is an employment relationship, he doesn’t care anyway.

"Friend..." Ellis's mouth twitched several times, and he finally held back the curse words that were about to come out. He felt even more annoyed. "So, what's the matter?"

"Why not treat an old friend to a drink? Well, let's have that kind of wine, it tastes good, you should stay..."

"No! I'm done drinking!"

"I saw it, over there." Tang innocently used the cheating Euclidean space observation to find the bottle of wine hidden deep in the cabinet.

Ellis: “…”

Tang listened to the sound of the former pirate's defense being broken, turned his head and looked at a pirate who had been staring at him secretly. He slowly took out a crystal monocle from his pocket and put it on his right eye socket.

He smiled at the pirate and touched the bottom rim of his monocle with the knuckle of his index finger.

The monocle carved from crystal reflected the pirate's terrified look.

The pirate's body shuddered when he met Tang's gaze. He quickly looked away, lowered his head, and continued to pretend to be drunk.

Tang looked away and saw a glass of wine on the table. He smiled and said, "It seems that even if you give up your identity as a pirate, your life may not be very peaceful."

Ellis was about to say something, but after staring at the monocle Tang was wearing for a few seconds, he stopped talking and said rather irritably, "We recently received some goods and there were some problems."

He didn't wait for Tang to speak, "As long as you don't get involved, I can handle it."

Well, it seems that time at sea has scared the ex-pirate.

After all, who can accept mushrooms growing on their body?
Tang, who had quietly frightened the pirates with the short staff of life, shrugged and said, "Okay."

He directly stated his purpose, "I need a boat..."

Before Tang could finish his words, he saw something strange.

Ellis followed Tang's gaze and saw a brass-colored, oddly shaped object placed in the corner, similar to a lampstand.

Ellis looked at the object lying among the garbage. "What are you looking at?"

"Show me that."

Tang said.

Ellis picked up the lamp-like object and placed it on the table, wondering in his heart if this could be some treasure.
baby?

The corner of Tang's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself, "You can call it a treasure, right?"

As the monocle that is the only way for thieves to enter, coupled with Tang's own deepening connection with Euclidean space after being promoted to Sequence 4, even if he does not enter Euclidean space, he can see a lot of things through the superposition of the two.

For example, this lampstand.

There was a strange, faint, grayish-white mist emanating from it.

"Things related to Sefirah Castle are equivalent to a crimson star within Sefirah Castle?"

Tang took the lampstand, made an appointment with Ellis, a former pirate, and left.

He ignored the tracker behind him who thought he was silent but was actually rough and scary in the spiritual line's vision, and walked towards the market not far away.

The system quickly sent out the identification results. As expected, the identification results were subject to corresponding interference and it was impossible to specifically determine what the item belonged to.

"That should be the case, but what exactly does this thing have to do with Sefirah Fort? Was it something the previous owner of Sefirah Fort used before his death, and then it was thrown out by Sefirah Fort after perishing with God?"

Tang thought of Miss Justice and the items that Mr. Hanged Man had before he was dragged into the gray fog by Klein, and couldn't help but make corresponding guesses.

Things related to Sefirah Castle are rare, but Tang had just come across one.

After stuffing the things into the system space, Tang happened to walk into an alley where the sun could not find him. He walked in, and the followers behind him saw that he had taken the initiative to walk into a dilemma that could be surrounded from both sides, so they waved their hands and signaled their subordinates to follow.

When they entered the alley and walked quickly forward, they bumped into another group of people who entered from the other end.

"What about people?"

A rough and hoarse voice came from one of the hooded figures.

"No, he's gone? I just saw him walk in with my own eyes. Damn it, that ungrateful Ellis must have given him the thing!"

A group of people were cursing, and Tang Ze took out a tissue, stood on the roof and wiped his monocle, looking at the setting sun in the distance, squinting his eyes and saying nothing.
