Hearing Philip's answer, Gogia's eyes instantly became warm when she looked at him, and her admiration was beyond words.
Run away? The corner of Lumian's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to evaluate the "Black Octopus"'s behavior of changing direction without hesitation and diving again.
This was beyond his expectation and he was unable to react in time.
Such a cool and magical submarine ship, and a pirate with such a high bounty, actually chose to evacuate in a hurry without even trying to launch a cannon attack?
How can you become a pirate with so much courage?
Why is there a bounty of 250,000 Firkin and the evil reputation of "Bonebreaker"? Don't mess around at sea in the future!
After Lumian habitually cursed a few times in his mind, he seriously thought about the reason why "Bonebreaker" Basil made the "Black Octopus" turn around and run away without showing his face: "What if I inspired the 'Blood Emperor'?"
You can still understand the residual aura when you run so fast, but why now? "
"It's impossible to find that you have found the wrong target. The Bird is not the merchant ship you want to rob, and you are rushing to block the real prey?"
"Have you had a premonition that if you really want to hijack a ship, the end may be quite miserable?
"If you were really good at divination and prophecy, you would have been able to confirm in advance that you should not come here, and you would not have to embarrass yourself under the gaze of so many crew members and passengers, show everyone what drifting at sea is, and turn backwards...
."
"Premonition of danger? Before actual contact, the 'hunter's' danger intuition will not react strongly..."
Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly remembered a sequence that had made him wary for a long time: Sequence 6 "Demon" of the "Criminal" path!
Extraordinaries of this sequence possess a special ability called "malicious perception".
If someone can cause fatal harm to them within a certain period of time and takes action, and both parties are within the range of the ability, they can directly sense and detect where the danger comes from and who it comes from.
"Basil the Bonebreaker is the devil? His title and style are quite similar..."
"When I just made a hunting plan for him and planned to 'teleport' him after confirming the situation, he sensed my malice, confirmed the degree of danger, and quickly decided to escape from here?"
"Hey, you're a 'devil', are you going to run away without a fight? I'm not even sure I can kill a 'devil', and you're still on your own alchemy ship, with a large number of subordinates around you, so you shouldn't be lacking either.
Magical items, do you have to be so cowardly?"
"The plan I envisioned had a very high success rate, so that Basil could sense that the degree of danger was beyond his ability to bear, so he did not take risks and chose the most effective and safest response - escape?" Lumian
The more I think about it, the more I feel this guess is closer to the truth.”
This also made him laugh.
Frankly speaking, the plan he just made was actually very idealistic. He did not consider the sequence of the "Bonebreaker", nor the abilities of the surrounding pirates, nor how to use the "Bottle of Imagination" to single out Basil.
Single duel, these all depend on the subsequent observation of the "Black Octopus" to decide.
The "Hunter" is not necessarily the one who rushes to fight at the beginning, but may also be the last character who appears and is responsible for harvesting.
But it was such a simple plan and its own malice that scared away a "devil" in advance?
Lumian suspected that Basil might not be able to sense the specific plan, just because he had the Angel of Destiny, the aura of the "Blood Emperor", the seal of Mr. Fool, the slight pollution of "0-01", etc. Regardless of whether he has power or not, his status is high enough.
The things on his body, combined with the feasible plan and clear malice, strongly stimulated the "Bonebreaker" and made him feel that the coming danger was beyond his ability to deal with, so the scene just happened.
Are you "devils" so cowardly? Lumian cursed silently, left the deck with a slight disappointment, and returned to first-class room No. 5.
At this time, the dedicated waiter had delivered lunch. Ludwig was concentrating on the food, while Lugano was lingering by the window with an excited look on his face.
Seeing Lumian's return, the "doctor" said excitedly: "There were big pirates just now, 'Bonebreaker' Basil, 'Deep Sea Admiral' Hal Constantine, the most powerful captain, he still drives '
"Black Octopus", you, you have heard of "Black Octopus", right? That is a magical ship that can dive into the bottom of the sea!
"I heard someone talk about it at the bar last night." Lumian answered honestly.
Before that, he really didn't know much about the "Deep Sea Admiral" and his pirate group. He only knew that there was such a pirate general. After all, Hal Constantine was quite mysterious. He had appeared in various newspapers and magazines that recorded maritime stories.
He rarely appears, and in the "Adventurer" series, he only has his title and name, making him a background without any plot line.
Lugano did not hide his emotions: "I just saw that magical pirate ship with my own eyes. It really floated up from the bottom of the sea and bloomed like a flower!
"I thought we would have a conflict with the 'Bonebreaker' and rely on your teleportation ability to escape from here. Who knows, the 'Black Octopus' only observed for more than ten seconds before choosing to leave."
Ten seconds? Do you look down upon the "Bonebreaker" too much? How many seconds! Lumian retorted to Lugano in his mind.
Lugano continued: "When chatting with a few sailors in the morning, they told me that the security director of the Bird is a very powerful retired officer who knows many big pirates. I thought they were bragging, but now it seems
, that security director is really not that simple, he may have friendships with many big pirates, so that Basil the Bonebreaker could not rob the Bird!"
"Yes, yes." Lumian agreed.
Tear... Ludwig tore off the oily skin and meat from a duck leg.
Lumian glanced at the little boy who was focusing on food, and suddenly had a new idea: Could there be more than one malice and danger perceived by "Bonebreaker" Basil, not just from me?
When Ludwig heard the word "dismemberment", he might have started to swallow his saliva...
But, this walking bottomless stomach bag is more similar to me. Although it seems to be of high status, it actually does not have the corresponding abilities...
...........
In order to celebrate that the "Bird" was not robbed by the "Black Octopus", the captain held a party on the deck in the evening with performances by clowns, magicians and animal trainers, and treated everyone to three glasses of beer.
The third-class bar was even more lively late at night, and Philip became the focus here. He was surrounded by almost all the guests, who took turns praising him and inviting him to drink.
They all thanked the security director for persuading the big pirate to take away the pirate by virtue of his friendship with "Bonebreaker" Basil, thus preventing the passengers on the "Bird" from suffering misery.
Lumian, who was sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender Francesco, was sipping Lelanzi. His eyes casually swept across Philip's face, and found that there was something hidden under the frivolous smile of this middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes.
Solemn and worried.
In other words, he is actually not that happy.
Well, I’m sure he wasn’t the one who scared the Black Octopus away... Haha, you’re still quite clear-headed. Knowing that a big trouble is approaching your ship but then unusually choosing to leave is not a particularly fortunate thing. This often means
There is a bigger trouble lurking on your ship... Lumian chuckled secretly, withdrew his gaze, and continued to chat with the bartender Francesco about the beautiful women in the third class.
Nearly an hour later, Philip squeezed out the group of drunken guys and took his lover Gogia to sit next to Lumian.
He knocked on the table, ordered a glass of golden beer, and said casually: "You actually like to drink in such a noisy and chaotic place."
"The girls here are more enthusiastic than those in the first class." Lumian probably guessed the purpose of Philip's coming, but did not ask.
Phillip laughed: "That's true."
He asked casually: "What did you do when the Black Octopus came?"
"Don't you remember? I was not far from you at the time. You don't know what I did or didn't do?" Lumian said calmly.
Phillip nodded lightly and did not ask any more questions.
Lumian took a sip of strong wine and asked with a smile: "Do you think the big trouble on the ship will scare away the little trouble?"
Philip turned his head and glanced at Lumian. It was not too surprising to have such an association with him.
"What are you talking about?" Gogia, who was obviously drunk, couldn't understand the conversation between the two men.
It's like they are telling riddles.
"This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of." Philip ignored his lover's question.
Lumian asked with great interest: "Who do you think is suspect?"
From yesterday afternoon to noon today, the security director should have warned many people.
Phillip put down his beer glass and raised his hand to rub his forehead.
After thinking for a while, he smiled: "I originally wanted to tell you, but now I feel it's not necessary."
"Why?" Lumian asked curiously.
Philip took another sip of beer and laughed softly: "As long as the big trouble doesn't break out on the ship, it's not trouble for me.
"You also saw that it did not reveal itself and was hiding quietly, which means that it may just want to reach the islands or Santa Port smoothly."
Speaking of this, Philip was quite emotional and said with great experience: "Many times, when you see an anomaly, you don't need to take care of it or find out the truth. It's best to pretend not to notice it and wait patiently for the anomaly to go away.
choose.
"An anomaly that has not erupted is not an anomaly. Your investigation and investigation may stimulate it, make the problem serious, and make a disaster truly happen.
"As long as the anomaly has not really harmed us, we should try to remain in awe and avoid irritation. This is one of the important reasons why I can survive at sea until now."
Lumian nodded slightly and said: "A relative of mine once said that in certain incidents, people who cannot see, hear, speak or smell are more likely to survive."
Philip smiled and stretched out his right hand: "I'm glad you have this understanding."
This was the real purpose of his coming to talk to Lumian, to stop this guy using a fake identity from being curious and trying to figure out what the big trouble was hidden on the ship.
That might harm the whole ship!
Lumian, who understood what Philip meant, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: So, does it mean there are other big troubles on the ship?
