A few days later, the fishermen went out to sea to fish as usual, but they only caught countless dead and rotting fish, as if all marine life in the entire sea area had become extinct.
Such a strange situation made them panic, and they quickly reported the matter to the nearby naval base.
But the navy couldn't find out what happened, so they could only define it as a natural disaster and then ignored it.
It's just a group of fish and shrimps that died, not a dead person, so what a big deal.
The culprit who caused the fishermen to lose all their money is currently lying on the beach chair, happily drinking his favorite juice.
The official breakthrough made Lovett's character excited for a long time. As a mage, he understood the weight of what "official mage" represented.
After all, to put it harshly, these three identities, spell apprentice, mage apprentice, and junior mage, are basically unattractive. They were created just to appease the disciples and prevent them from losing confidence in the future.
The mage circle only recognizes official mages whose souls have transcended the limits of their race. This is a sign that the gap between them and "human beings" has officially opened. From then on, "mage" is a separate racial name.
The root cause of this gap in influence lies in the ridiculously large gap in strength between formal mages and junior mages.
This is not to boast, after breaking through to become an official mage, Lovett dared to boast that he could beat twenty of his previous selves!
This is still the Black Earl. If he were an ordinary junior mage, hundreds of people would not be able to do anything to him.
The crushing quality of the light soul makes it difficult for the elementary mage's spells to be effective on the formal mage.
Coupled with the amount of knowledge and computing speed necessary to become a formal mage, novice mage is no match if you really want to calculate.
And then……
"Gulu!"
Ah Jin swallowed his saliva, resisted the biting chill that surged through his body, and approached Lovett with difficulty: "Sir... Sir, this is the information you want."
"Oh, leave it there."
Holding the wine glass in his left hand, Lovett raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "You have to work hard, Captain, otherwise you can't even stand in front of me. How can you be my strongest shield?"
Hearing this, Ah Jin smiled bitterly: "Yes!"
This is the biggest trump card after becoming an official mage, in addition to the terrifying mental energy and magical means brought by soul sublimation!
You can use the power of rule runes!
They are not spell runes as spell carriers, but regular runes simplified from divine runes.
In the early years of the mage world, it was a world enslaved by the gods. Those gods controlled the talismans and acted as the spokesperson for the rules of the party.
For example, Sun Goddess, Moon Lady, Mother Earth, Lord of Oaths and Lies, etc.
After the God-Slaying War led by the first generation Holy Ten, the magic runes were no longer controlled by the gods, and mages were able to observe the magic runes, thus giving birth to a simplified version of the rule runes.
However, since it is not the original source of power like the runes, it must be combined into rune words to be effective.
Death rune, blood rune, soul rune, the rune language formed by these three regular runes can give birth to a kind of magic power, which is the famous return soul of the underworld, which continuously extracts the breath of the dead world to nourish the necromancer and help him realize.
Practice.
At the same time, the breath of the spirit world brought by the returning souls from the underworld is also a destructive weapon. For ordinary people, let alone getting close to Lovett, even a weak old man will take a whiff of it and his soul will be pulled out of his body.
Under the influence of the returning soul from the underworld, a 100-meter-circular radius around Lovitt's body was shrouded in the breath of the dead world. If he intentionally hurts anyone, these breaths will instantly turn the surrounding area into a death zone!
It integrates offense and defense, and can also help with training, making it the perfect choice for the Necromancer.
All the foundations of the Necromancy School come from the Death Talisman, the Blood Talisman and the Soul Talisman, and the effect of the combination of the three weakened versions of the regular runes perfectly matches the Necromancer. I have to say... this is a match made in heaven.
.
Opening the information that Akin brought, Lovett thought silently.
"Depending on the strength of the soul, a formal mage can master three to six regular runes. If there are more, he must reach the level of a titled archmage and find his own way."
"With the foundation in my previous life, I can now master up to four runes, but I want to make the last rune work without destroying the original rune language and still exerting its effect. It's hard to make a choice."
"So my top priority now is not to condense the fourth rune, but to... avoid another kind of risk!"
Taking a closer look, the characters "Baroque Works" appeared at the top of the document.
Lovett picked up the wine glass with his left hand and took a sip.
"If you want to blame it, blame it on you being the closest to me...Alabasta, I happen to have a permanent pointer."
After the strength has greatly increased, some plans can finally be put on the agenda.
Meanwhile, Alabasta, the land of rain.
Crocodile felt an inexplicable chill in his heart and woke up from a nap.
There was a fragrant breeze wafting from the tip of his nose. He did not change his posture and said, "How are things going?"
"Dancing fans have been successfully delivered to major cities. There will still be no rain in those places for at least a year."
The black hip-hugging skirt outlined her graceful figure. Nico Robin stopped in front of the table, pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and said with a smile: "In addition, according to what the pirates said recently, the Black Earl is in the city of gourmet food.
After making a big fuss, he disappeared again without a trace."
Coincidentally, not only Doflamingo wanted to take Lovett away by force and let him make weapons for himself, but Crocodile also had this idea.
The Baroque Working Society was formed long before Crocodile settled in Alabasta. From a God's perspective, you would think that it is a soy sauce organization. However, to people in this world, this criminal organization is extremely mysterious and dangerous.
With the help of organization members who have penetrated all over the world, Crocodile successfully connected the Blood Curse Weapon and Lovett. I don't know if it's a good thing, but if he knows, he will definitely not let him go.
"That guy is a bit cunning, and he also understands how much trouble he will cause if his creation of the blood curse weapon is exposed."
Crocodile lit the cigar and put it in his mouth, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth with disdain: "But he is unwilling to accept the protection of the Four Heavenly Kings even though he knows this, and he seems very proud."
A new pirate who is fearless!
There are countless newcomers like this every year, but how many of them can really grow into big shots?
"Send the order to continue searching. We must get ahead of the navy and get his power."
"yes!"
…
A new storm is coming. At this moment, where Lovett passed by, a bicycle jingled through the street and came to the port.
"Oh! So many fish, a great harvest, sir!"
"Hey, that would be great."
The fisherman holding a pipe in his mouth sighed when he heard this: "But these are all dead fish, and I can't sell them even if I want to."
"Oh why?"
"Who knew, all the fish in the entire sea suddenly died, and there were really weird things happening in the sea."
"I see, that's really unlucky."
The man riding a bicycle waved his hand: "But the sea area where I came from is quite clean. You can try your luck."
"Oh, really? Then I have to hurry up before everyone notices."
After saying that, I didn’t forget to say thank you: “Thank you, little brother, I’ll treat you to fish another day.”
"You're welcome, bye!"
Subconsciously waving goodbye, the fisherman suddenly woke up.
Wait, that’s not right!
Where did you come from?
Aren't you a cyclist?
Looking at the man pulling out the ice track and riding on the sea, the fisherman's eyes were frightened and he murmured to himself.
"The sea is full of strange things!"
…
A few days later, Alabasta, Rapeseed Flower Town.
"This is Alabasta? What a spectacular yellow sand for thousands of miles!"
Standing on the deck, Lovett ignored the screaming crowd below and looked at the sea of sand in the distance with a surprised expression.
The power of nature is truly astonishing.
It is hard to imagine that there is such a huge desert in the center of this vast and endless ocean.
As a desert kingdom, Alabasta has a transcendent status in the Grand Line, not only because it is the territory of the Neferutali family, one of the twenty royal families that established the world government, but also because this country is not as barren as it seems.
The standing military strength is as high as 600,000. Is this something that a poor country can achieve?
With the help of the vast land area, the various desert specialties produced are abundant. The common threat of the royal family and the navy gave birth to a prosperous trading system here, and the products are exported to all over the world.
"Pearl of the Desert" Alabasta, this is what the world calls it!
However, there is another desert pearl in the hearts of the people of Alabasta, and that is Neferutali Kobra, the daughter of the twelfth king of Alabasta, the beautiful Princess Vivi.
"Sir, we have found the map, but this guy said he is willing to lead the way for us."
Ajin jumped onto the deck with a man on his back and said respectfully to Lovett.
"Lead the way for us?"
Lovett retracted his emotion and looked back: "Give me a reason."
