The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Pirates.

How much quality can we expect from them?

Honestly speaking, the people under Cattleya's command were considered rare "good people" among the pirates.

But some things are ingrained in our bones and cannot be changed.

Among these people, the boatswain Nina was the one who shouted the loudest.

This may be related to the fact that she is a Beyonder of the Tyrant Path.

I can only say that this is what a grumpy sister is like.

Makima glanced at the pirates calmly and repeated, "Please wait here."

Then, he added very naturally, "This is an order."

The ability to control demons will most likely be ineffective against Amon.

but.

A group of pirates who aren't even demigods?

Makima smiled softly.

Bright smile.

But this smile became extremely terrifying in the eyes of those pirates.

They only felt as if their bodies were entangled with many invisible ropes. Not to mention moving, even breathing became extremely difficult!

There was a hint of panic in Cattleya's eyes behind her glasses.

She knew that the maid in front of her used a power similar to the word spirit technique.

But the strange thing was that even though the distance between them was less than five meters, she didn't feel any spiritual fluctuations at all.

Is it because the gap in strength is too big, or...

Cattleya didn't have time to think about it and quickly apologized: "Please forgive my rude subordinates, they didn't mean to offend."

"Ms. Cattleya, their lives are not in danger." Makima stared at Cattleya. "I said, we'll just have to wait here for a while."

Cattleya opened her mouth and seemed to want to beg for mercy.

Just then, a voice came from behind her.

"Okay, stop being so rigid."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nina and the other pirates suddenly found that the restrictions on them suddenly disappeared.

Seeing the newcomer, Makima bowed her head in respect and said, "Master, welcome home."

Cattleya instinctively turned around, only to see a black-haired young man walking slowly towards her with his hands in his pockets.

The other person was wearing a well-tailored suit and vest, without a hat or bow tie, and looked free and unrestrained.

"Captain Cattleya, right? I'm so sorry that my maid treated the guests badly." Jon was very easy-going.

He looked at the pirates and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, sorry."

Having seen the horror of the maid with braids, Nina and the other pirates dared not confront their 'master' Jon.

Jon didn't care and said to Makima, "Let's have a dinner party in the back garden. You go and prepare it."

"Yes, master." Makima nodded in response.

After saying this, he walked away with a calm face.

Ok……

Perhaps 'arrogant' is more accurate.

Jon, who stayed behind, extended his hand and invited him, "Come in and talk."

Go in?

What a joke!

The pirates gave in decisively.

They even didn't want Cattleya to step into the dangerous situation before them.

Cattleya actually had some concerns in her heart.

but.

Does she really have a choice?

He lowered his head and said very politely, "Excuse me."

Enter the villa.

The space is not as good as the outside world, where space expansion magic has been cast.

But take a closer look.

But there is a mystery behind it.

For example, the painting on the wall - in the center of the dining table, a priest with light blond hair and beard has his arms outstretched, as if he is telling something. Many believers are surrounding him, some are angry, some are indifferent, and some are terrified, and everyone's expression is very lifelike.

With just one glance, Cattleya felt the sorrow and desolation.

She understands.

The theme of this painting is titled 'Betrayal'.

"Do you like it?" Jon turned around and suddenly asked.

Cattleya was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no."

"I see, that means my drawing is not good enough."

Cattleya was stunned.

I quickly explained: "It's not that I like you, but..."

no way.

When dealing with an important figure whom even the Queen admires so much, it is hard for her not to be nervous even though she has the title of Admiral of the Stars.

Jon did not continue on this topic, and said, "I just went to your ship to meet Frank Lee."

Hearing this, Cattleya's mind went blank for a moment.

She opened her mouth.

Finally, a “Huh?”

"He's a genius. I'm very optimistic about him." Jon opened the door to the study. "This talent shouldn't be buried."

Cattleya: Σ(°△°|||)

Don't want that kind of thing.

The world...the world is in danger!

"But today we are not going to talk about your first mate." Sitting down in the familiar armchair, Jon looked at Cattleya, "Let's talk about the Moss Ascetic Order. Bernadette said you are a member of it."

Cattleya pondered for a moment and said truthfully: "Dear Mr. Jon, I am just an insignificant person in the Moss Ascetic Order. I am sorry that I cannot tell you too much valuable information."

Jon waved his hand, "No need to add the prefix of 'respect'. Besides, you have already touched the threshold of demigod. Even if you fail to become one of the Ten Pillars of the Ascetic Order, you can't be an 'insignificant existence'. You don't need to be humble here. What I need is the most realistic situation."

Cattleya was speechless.

Although it may seem like self-deprecation.

But to be honest, she really didn't know much about the Moss Trappist Order.

The Moss Ascetic Order is an ancient organization that was born in the Fourth Epoch. It was originally formed by several humans who viewed the blasphemous slate and believed in an impersonal god, the 'Hidden Sage'.

Stiano (the God of Machinery and Steam) is one of the earliest founders of the Moss Ascetic Order, and he has mastered the complete path of the Hermit. In the early days, it was a very respected organization, and had good relations with all the major churches. But gradually, because the "Hidden Sage" became a personified evil god, it brought evil and pollution, and the Moss Ascetic Order degenerated into a secret evil organization.

When Cattleya was exiled from the Mystery and drifted on the sea, she came into contact with the Moss Ascetic Order by chance.

With a certain rebellious mentality, she joined the Moss Ascetic Order, which was hostile to the Dawn of Elements (the organization founded by Bernadette), and accepted the blessing of the 'Hidden Sage'.

The 'Hidden Sage' is knowledge itself, and it pursues every member of the Moss Ascetic Order instinctively.

soon.

In the baptism of knowledge, Cattleya gained a lot of magic and mystical skills that she had never been exposed to before, and her realm improved rapidly.

But every gift from fate has a hidden price.

The Hidden Sage was delighted by Cattleya's speed in absorbing knowledge.

So, it became a situation of 'she learns, he teaches, and she can't escape even if she has wings'.

When a lot of knowledge is poured in but cannot be digested and mastered quickly, one can either let go of the mental defenses and accept the transformation of the 'Hidden Sage', or rely on perseverance to support oneself.

If you can't hold on, you will lose control.

Just like Cattleya did before.

If Bernadette hadn't appeared in time, she would have turned into a black sticky ball with eyeballs all over her body.

After listening to what Cattleya said, Jon was thoughtful.

He looked at Cattleya and whispered, "When I proposed to capture the 'Hidden Sage', Bernadette recommended you."

After hearing this, Cattleya was confused and instinctively explained: "The Queen just..."

"She feels sorry for her daughter." Jon interrupted Cattleya, "Otherwise, she could just find a Hermit Beyonder. In other words, she thinks this benefit can only be given to you."

Cattleya: ...

Moving?

It doesn't seem likely.

She didn't understand how she felt right now.

It just feels complicated and tangled.

It's just like a left-behind child in the mountains suddenly seeing his biological mother coming home to visit him, carrying many bags.

He showed from the inside out that he wanted to get closer, but he felt extremely awkward and didn't want to go forward.

"You must be thinking, 'What did you do earlier?'" Jon said with a smile.

Cattleya's secret was exposed, and her face looked a little unnatural, but she denied it: "No, the queen has her own considerations."

Qiao En looked at her playfully, "You still won't call me mom? Yaya, I have to say, this is Type 7 love."

Duck...duck?

Cattleya couldn't believe her ears.

Lived this long.

Even the Queen had never addressed her so affectionately.

No, no.

This can no longer be considered a nickname, but rather some kind of teasing!

Qiao En said with a smile: "Zhengmo, you are spreading talisman qi?"

He seemed to like seeing the look on Cattleya's face, as if she wanted to be angry but didn't dare to show it.

To put it simply, it's just a bad taste.

Want to be a bitch.

"No, no." What else could Cattleya say?

She is not a child who would act on impulse.

After all, your life and property only depend on the other party's thoughts.

Even for the sake of the crew, she had to endure it.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I already know the basic situation. To verify your guess, you should quickly summon the Hidden Sage." Jon changed the subject and said, "You are risking your life... well, it's not that dangerous. Anyway, for Bernadette's sake, I will give you a drop of blood from a mythical creature when you finish this."

He counted on his fingers, "We have 'The Perfect One', 'Wheel of Fortune', 'Death', 'Red Priest', 'Dreamer', 'The Hanged Man'..."

Say more than a dozen options in a row.
