Pirates' Max Level System

Because the defense responsibility of Mermaid Island had been handed over to Tsunade and Itachi before, Qin Luo did not ask too much about the affairs of Mermaid Island out of absolute trust. However, Qin Luo estimated that this situation would not last long. At the latest, it would be the day when the Navy publicly executed the corpse of "Liuyun".

Qin Luo said to Tsunade, "We can delay as much as possible." Qin Luo did not stay any longer, after all, Olivia was still in Chitose City, and many forces in Chitose City were frantically searching for her.

As for why Olivia was unwilling to go to Mermaid Island or O'Hara for research, Qin Luo attributed this to "the mistress's nervousness about meeting the eldest wife" and "the guilty feeling of being closer to home."

This resulted in Qin Luo having to take care of both ends, and he had to appear in the form of a fat man from time to time on Qiansui Island, pretending to be searching for Olivia.

"What's up? Did you find anything?" Qin Luo placed a cup of coffee on Olivia's desk. He had received news that the Undead Fleet and the Navy Fleet would arrive at Qiansui City one after another, probably the next day or the day after tomorrow. If they hadn't figured out anything by then, even if the results came out by then, they wouldn't be of much use.

Holding the coffee in her hand, Olivia took a sip and said, "It's basically been translated, and the useful information has been sorted out."

When she said this, Olivia looked at Qin Luo with a smug look on her face, her mouth and eyes curved with laughter. Looking at her expression, she was clearly a proud little wild cat. She was deliberately hiding it because she wanted Qin Luo to beg her to ask her.

"Oh, tell me about it." Qin Luo knew that he was the one who awakened the Undead Fleet, but he really knew nothing about its origins and history. He just regarded it as a way to satisfy his curiosity and Olivia's vanity.

The information obtained from the research is limited to a few aspects, not the complete history of thousands of years ago.

According to ritual texts and books, a thousand years ago, an evil cult roamed the world. Eventually, the cult, from the evil deity to the followers, was sealed away by a coalition of world powers. The family Olivia was searching for was once one of the four great families specifically tasked with guarding this seal.

There was a family like this in each of the East Sea, North Sea, and South Sea, guarding the four fleets of the then-sealed Evil God Cult. However, with the passage of time, the once powerful and prosperous guardian families have now been fragmented or their inheritance has been cut off.

"Is that all? This way, there's no way to deal with the approaching Undead Fleet." Through Olivia's introduction, Qin Luo had a preliminary understanding of the Undead Fleet. However, this alone was not enough to deal with the Undead Fleet.

"Two words. Most of the information we have obtained is concentrated on these two words. Demon's Tomb and Sealing Talisman." Olivia stretched out two fingers towards Qin Luo and pointed them.

"The Sealing Talisman is the jade talisman we obtained from the palace. Each family possesses one. The talisman is endowed with powerful divine energy that can purify evil creatures. It is also a key part of the seal. The four talismans each seal the four fleets of the Evil God Cult. When combined, they can form a complete sealing disk, used to seal the Evil God somewhere in this world."

"According to what you said, the Sealing Talisman can be used to break the seal. If that's the case, why didn't the people who sealed it destroy or hide them to prevent others from breaking the seal?"

Qin Luo was speechless. He had seen this kind of plot often in previous games. The hero sealed the demon, but left the key to unlock it, just to make the next game easier. Didn't expect the pirate world to use this trick? He was courting death.

"It's for resealing. If it's just sealed, the power of the seal will gradually weaken over time, and every once in a while, it must be resealed with the power of the seal 270 runes. However, the sect that presided over this resealing ceremony should have disappeared long ago, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed the Guardian Family to perish like this."

Olivia spoke with a touch of melancholy, perhaps thinking of O'Hara. This once important historical and archaeological site had finally faded into obscurity.

Unlike Olivia, Qin Luo felt relieved when he heard that the seal would gradually weaken over time. This meant that even if he didn't awaken the Undead Fleet, it would still emerge from the seal on its own. He simply brought the time forward.

"Let's talk about the Demon's Tomb again." Seeing that Olivia was in a bad mood, Qin Luo quickly changed the subject.

Olivia smiled, adjusted her mood, and continued to explain.

The Demon's Tomb, the sealed location of a fleet under the Evil God Cult and guarded by the West Sea's guardian family, is located somewhere in the sea between Chitose Castle and Ohara. It is an underwater cave that only emerges from the sea during the full moon.

When the cave is exposed to the sea surface, the sea breeze blowing into the cave will make a sound like the devil's wailing, which is why it is called the Devil's Tomb.

If nothing unexpected happens, the purpose of this undead fleet coming to the West Sea is this devil's tomb.

Chapter 446: An Inescapable Fate

The Undead Fleet is coming to the Demon Tomb to unlock the seal and release another sealed fleet. Qin Luo clearly got this information from Olivia's words.

Qin Luo had seen the troubles and strange abilities of the Undead Fleet before. After all, he was the one who awakened it. If the number of this fleet doubled, it would become a disaster for the entire world before an effective solution was found.

Qin Luo did not intend to be a savior, but in front of so many lives, he could not remain indifferent.

"So what should we do now? Find that demon tomb and seal it again? Before the Undead Fleet arrives?" The Undead Fleet incident was caused by Qin Luo himself. The pirate world he saw in his previous life had no information about this. In this situation, Qin Luo could only rely on Olivia.

"We do want to find the demon's tomb, but we have no way to seal it again. The materials I have don't have any information about the relevant sealing ceremony." Having said that, Olivia took out a piece of paper and started writing on it.

"What should we do then?" Olivia's behavior made Qin Luo a little confused.

"Tell this to the Navy and the World Government. It seems the Navy's fleet is nearing Chitose Castle. These self-proclaimed righteous navies won't ignore the disaster. Furthermore, the World Government should have more detailed historical data from thousands of years ago. Perhaps they can find the correct sealing ritual."

Olivia had some unspoken words. She didn't really trust the Navy, so she had no intention of handing over the Sealing Talisman. However, without it, the seal couldn't be completed. Olivia wanted the Navy to find the corresponding Sealing Talisman and ritual for the escaped Undead Fleet.

For the Navy and the World Government, which were established eight hundred years ago, this should not be difficult to accomplish as long as they mobilize the forces at hand. It is better than her running around like a headless fly.

Qin Luo nodded in agreement. The World Government wouldn't stand a chance in saving the world. However, there were some things Qin Luo hesitated about telling Olivia. Rumors had been circulating around the world for the past few days that O'Hara had unleashed the demon. It seemed the World Government and the Navy were planning to pin the blame on O'Hara.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Luo gave up. The Navy and the World Government were so determined to destroy O'Hara that telling her would only make Olivia more upset. Didn't he still have Qin Luo? Even if saving the entire O'Hara wasn't easy, rescuing most of the people and books was still a simple matter.

Qin Luo was more inclined to this point. According to the inertia of history, O'Hara's destruction was inevitable. Even if he could save it once, he might not be able to save it a second time.

On the night when the navy fleet arrived at Chitose City, Qin Luo silently placed the letter written by Olivia on Zhan Guo's desk. For some reason, compared to the navy marshal Kong Ganggu, who was also in the fleet, Qin Luo was more willing to trust Zhan Guo's character.

In the letter, Olivia described the origins and dangers of the Undead Fleet, the sealing of the divine runes and the demon tombs. She also described the horrors of the evil cult, as if the end of the world was approaching.

In fact, Olivia was not exaggerating. Once the undead monsters that were sealed thousands of years ago were released, there would be nothing in this world that could stop them.

The most ideal outcome in Olivia's mind was that the Navy and the World Government would mobilize all their forces to deal with this undead disaster, slow down the siege of O'Hara, and buy O'Hara some breathing space.

However, Olivia completely underestimated the World Government and Navy's determination to annihilate Ohara. After much discussion between Sengoku, Sora, and the Five Elders, most of the Navy fleet remained in Chitose Castle to engage the Undead Fleet. However, twenty warships still sailed towards Ohara that night.

These twenty warships will blockade the entire O'Hara. Even if they are not sure of destroying all of them, they will intercept all those who want to leave O'Hara.

It was also on this night that Qin Luo brought Olivia to the demon tomb he found.

Qin Luo was also shocked when he found the Demon Tomb. It was too close. The Demon Tomb was too close to O'Hara, probably only a few thousand meters away. From the sea of ​​the Demon Tomb, Qin Luo could see the All-Knowing Tree on O'Hara and the tiny sparks of fire.

Once the seal of the Undead Fleet in the Demon's Tomb is broken, or a battle breaks out between the Navy and the Undead Fleet here, O'Hara will be dragged into the quagmire of destruction.

"Open." Qin Luo, accompanied by Olivia, used his full-level Sea Overlord ability to remove the seawater from the Demon Tomb. The sea surface under the moonlight suddenly sank, as if a piece had been dug out, revealing the Demon Tomb.

The sea water beside the Demon Tomb seemed to be restrained by an invisible cylindrical barrier, and no matter how turbulent it was, it could not flow in. Olivia was amazed by these things, which gave her a further understanding of Qin Luo's magical and powerful strength.

Qin Luo looked at the surprised expression on Olivia's face and couldn't help but scratch her nose: "Don't worship me so much, your husband is just so powerful, otherwise I would feel a little pressured to be called a god."

"Shame on you! How can you brag like that? It's nothing great. I know a lot of people can do it." Olivia, whose nose was scratched, suddenly turned into a wild cat with its fur standing on end. She broke free from Qin Luo's arms, but her tone of defense was a little weak.

Qin Luo did not refute and pulled Olivia's hand, and walked into the demon tomb with her.

There's a hidden world within the demon's tomb. A vast underwater cavern stretches out endlessly. Qin Luo and the others found the sealed altar. A recessed grid on the altar housed the sealing talisman. The entire altar served as both a sealing point and a device for activating the sacred power within the sealing talisman.

The entire altar was shining with a glow, but now it was a little dim.

Behind the altar was a harbor, but what lay there weren't ships, but wreckage. The remains of a fleet, and the faint traces of bones. This must be the undead fleet sealed there.

Olivia stared at the undead fleet in a trance. This port was heading towards O'Hara, which meant that once the undead were awakened, the fleet would emerge directly from the ground and appear on the shore of O'Hara.

Olivia did a lot to stop the navy's encirclement of O'Hara, whether it was delaying the navy or providing clues. But O'Hara's fate was already determined, and destruction was inevitable.

Chapter 447: Bone Shadow Mystery

Originally, Olivia had planned to relay the location of the Demon Tomb directly to the navy. But plans couldn't keep up with changes. The Demon Tomb was surprisingly close to O'Hara, and Olivia didn't want to gather all the navy at this moment.

After exploring the entire demon tomb, Qin Luo withdrew his control over the sea water, and the sea quickly returned to its original state.

Olivia was repelled by Qin Luo and floated in the air with him. In front of her was O'Hara, who was close at hand. Olivia looked at the Tree of All-Knowing in the night, a little lost in thought.

"Don't you want to go back and take a look?" Olivia had never acted anxious to return to O'Hara, but Qin Luo knew she was eager to go home. The reason for not going back was a bit complicated. Before, there was no other way, but now that Qin Luo was by her side, Olivia wanted to do her best to help O'Hara escape his misfortune.

But judging by the current situation, no matter what Olivia tries, O'Hara's fate cannot be changed.

It's time to face reality, Olivia.

Qin Luo didn't say this in the end. Some things still need Olivia to figure out on her own, and no one else can help.

With the arrival of the naval fleet, a warlike atmosphere brewed in Chitose City. Qin Luo and Olivia, who had returned to Chitose City, could clearly sense this strangeness. The bustling streets became deserted, and the few pedestrians came and went in a hurry.

Because of Olivia, Chitose Castle was essentially closed to the public. Many civilians and merchants were forced to remain inside Chitose Castle. Otherwise, most of the city would have fled by now.

These poor people who cannot leave Chitose Castle have locked themselves in their rooms, as if only the fragile wooden door can give them a slight sense of security.

Perhaps anticipating that the Undead Fleet would arrive in Qiansui City one day, the Norez Royal Family sent invitations to representatives of many forces in Qiansui City the night after the navy fleet arrived. Qin Luo was also among those invited.

This time, Olivia did not go with them. After obtaining the Sealing Talisman, there was nothing in the Norez Palace that could arouse her interest. Moreover, her disguise was not as simple and perfect as Qin Luo's physical transformation ability. If too many people noticed her, she would still reveal her flaws.

Qin Luo once again appeared in the Norez Palace in the form of a fat man, and people who saw him greeted him. This was not because these people were well-educated, but mainly because the reputation of the fat man Qin Luo had been spread too loudly in recent times.

"Porcupine Bagolo" is the new nickname of Fatty Qin Luo. Incidentally, Bagolo is the name Qin Luo publicly uses when he's in his Fatty state. According to rumors, Porcupine Bagolo first killed the three brothers from the Gay Nation in seconds, and then participated in the assassination of someone else.

Anyway, all the nonsense was thrown onto Qin Luo. Qin Luo did not mind taking the blame too much, one after another, without any explanation. When the other forces behind him saw that Qin Luo had no reaction, they threw the blame even more fiercely. Qin Luo was just about to tremble and shout, "I want to be the man who takes the blame."

Now "Porcupine Bagolo" is a completely devilish existence in Qiansui City, the kind that can stop children from crying at night. Most of these people's behavior when facing Qin Luo is out of fear.

Qin Luo, who looked like a fat man, came to the place where the banquet was held before. When he was at the door, Qin Luo found something wrong.

Qin Luo took a deep breath and smelled it carefully: "The smell of kelp ribs?"

To outsiders, Porcupine Bagolo sniffed at the banquet entrance and named a dish. Considering his nickname, he must have been possessed by a hungry ghost.

But is this really the case?

Kelp ribs is just a name, Qin Luo's name for those undead souls. Qin Luo, as the one who awakened these undead souls, smelled a strong kelp scent from these bones, so he has always called them that. Qin Luo thought this banquet would be very boring, but he didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.

Everyone thought these undead had no brains and wouldn't arrive in Chitose Castle until tomorrow. But on the contrary, a few had already sneaked into Chitose Castle and appeared at this banquet, gathering intelligence in full view of everyone.

If this is considered brainless, Qin Luo just wants to chop off the heads of those who claim to be smart and kick them around like balls.

Qin Luo found a place to sit down, looked around at the people at the banquet, and muttered to himself: "Interesting, let me see who is the undead in disguise, and what your purpose is."

Qin Luo was like a naughty kid who had obtained a ticket to a new game, and his interest was immediately piqued.

Roll your eyes and say, no no no.

Not to mention whether the undead with sufficient energy can be distinguished from normal people after being disguised, and whether they can be seen by the white eyes. Qin Luo did not intend to use the white eyes. In Qin Luo's view, this was a game, and he did not even intend to pull out the undead.

Qin Luo was so happy that the undead could cause more trouble to the navy, and it was worth it for Qin Luo to wake it up.

Everyone hadn't arrived yet, and the banquet hadn't even begun. Qin Luo took this opportunity to wander around the banquet hall. He didn't need to sniff around like a dog. Qin Luo didn't rely on his nose to find the traces of the undead. Otherwise, he wasn't the only one with a keen sense of smell, and he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

Qin Luo relied on a feeling. Perhaps because he had enslaved and commanded these undead, Qin Luo could vaguely feel these things.

"Oh, sorry, sir." Qin Luo, who was looking around, bumped into a waiter. The drinks on the waiter's tray spilled onto the ground, while Qin Luo stood there as if nothing had happened.

"fine."

Found it, the first one. Qin Luo used the excuse of speaking to hide the smile on his face. Just now, he had a feeling that there was something wrong with this waiter, so he deliberately tried to touch the porcelain.

He had deliberately bumped into the waiter, just to confirm his identity and take the opportunity to leave a chakra mark on him. Chakra is a power that does not belong to this world. Once marked by chakra, it will be as eye-catching as the sun in front of Qin Luo's white eyes.

The undead spirit disguised as a waiter quickly left after apologizing and disappeared into the crowd in a few turns. When Qin Luo wanted to find him again, he could not even see his shadow.

"How cautious," Qin Luo murmured. However, no matter how cunning the prey was, it couldn't escape the old hunter's tricks. He no longer cared about the undead. Qin Luo's feeling told him that there was more than one undead at the banquet.

Chapter 448: Mutual Obstruction

The second undead that Qin Luo discovered had a rather bizarre hiding method. Qin Luo found it in an armor decoration, and the undead was hiding inside the armor.

If Qin Luo hadn't walked past the armor and smelled the salty smell of sea ribs coming out of it, Qin Luo wouldn't have been so sure. You really can't underestimate the imagination and hiding ability of these dead.

By the time the banquet began, Qin Luo had found four undead who had disguised themselves as other people and sneaked into the banquet. In addition to the waiter and the two hidden in the armor, there were two other undead. One was a representative of a certain faction that had been invited, just like Qin Luo, and the other was actually the niece of King Norez XVI, so she could be considered a princess.

With the methods of these undead, most of the people who were impersonated have already lost their lives. Qin Luo sighed a little. How could the Norez royal family, who were deeply afraid of disaster, have imagined that a royal family member would die before the war even started?

The banquet once again began with a speech from King Norez XVI, consisting of words of thanks and promises. The Red Earl, once again following the king, saw his hand wound had healed, suggesting he had recovered. Torrepol was as active as a high-level imitation, frequently weaving between the various factions and the king.

The main guests invited to this banquet were from other forces in Chitose Castle besides the navy. Most of them were pirates, bounty hunters, or subordinates of certain forces. The navy only had one representative, Zephyr. Perhaps it was because Zephyr had the best temper and would not lose his temper at the presence of so many pirates.

After Qin Luo found all the undead and silently marked them with chakra marks, he entered the buffet mode. He ate and drank as he pleased, and ignored Norez XVI. This situation was quite similar to his current image.

But there are some things that you can't avoid even if you pretend to be ignorant, such as people who are looking for death.

"Porcupine Bagolo?" A voice sounded from behind Qin Luo, and Qin Luo was forced to stop destroying the big lobster in his hand.

"Red Earl, is there something wrong? If not, please don't disturb me while I'm eating." It was impossible to pretend not to know him. After being promoted by some people with ulterior motives, even the children in Chitose City knew the famous name of the Red Earl.

The Red Earl didn't come looking for Qin Luo on a whim. He had discovered at the last banquet that Qin Luo was not a simple person. His strength and background were a mystery. However, the information he sent to investigate Qin Luo was too normal. Just like other forces, they would occasionally look for Olivia and not cause trouble.

But this kind of normality is the biggest abnormality. Such a formidable person with an unknown background came to Qiansui City, and his intentions were obvious. But Qin Luo's behavior was somewhat ordinary, even a little lazy and complacent. Even after being madly blamed, he showed no expression, no anger or desire to explain.

It was completely abnormal. The Red Earl, with his decades of experience, swore that this "Porcupine Bagolo" was completely abnormal. That was why the Red Earl had taken the initiative to meet him tonight.

"I don't know why you came to Chitose Castle." The Red Earl decided to test it out.

"Of course it's to catch Nicole Olivia and ask her about the whereabouts of the ancient weapons. Who here doesn't think so? There is no need to ask." Qin Luo's voice was not small. Everyone around looked over, with some embarrassment on their faces.

"Brother, although everyone thinks so, you don't have to be so direct, okay? The navy representatives are here too." This was the voice of many representatives of various factions at the banquet.

"But from what I know, you don't seem to be very serious about looking for Olivia." The always aloof Red Earl couldn't stand Qin Luo's tone, and when he spoke again, he used a tone of examining a prisoner.

But it is true. Apart from the initial incident where Qin Luo cheated someone in the casino, the rest of the time was just like a routine.

"I say, are you okay? Why should I worry about how to find someone? Who is so stupid as to do the job of finding someone? Wait until someone finds Olivia and then snatch her away." Qin Luo gave the Red Earl a caring look while gnawing on the lobster.

Following Qin Luo's words, not only the Red Earl, but also the other forces nearby almost fell to the ground. After a wave of AOE, most of the forces in the banquet became what Qin Luo called "idiots."

The Red Earl was enduring, enduring desperately. As aloof as he was, he was being looked down upon by a pig. The Red Earl repeatedly told himself that he could not fight during the banquet.

"Haha, Porcupine Bagolo is indeed capable of saying that. I don't want to fight with you either." The Red Earl smiled very reluctantly. But after he said this, the attention of many forces present on Qin Luo increased a little. Even the Red Earl admitted that his strength was at least at the level of a general. Even Zefa glanced at Qin Luo.

Okay, this Red Earl came here specifically to make things difficult for Qin Luo. Now Qin Luo has become a focus close to the Red Earl in the eyes of many forces. Many things are inconvenient for him to do because he is being watched by too many eyes.
