Chapter 438 The appearance of more and more enemies
The elves have broken through the "Rosei Volcano", the home of the demons, and the large-scale war has basically ended. But the entire elven secret realm is as big as a sea area. If you want to clear out all the demons hiding everywhere, this process still needs to be completed.
A very long time.
A few days later, the elves held a grand celebration party at "Moon Spring". Raymond and his "Ghost Pirates", as the biggest contributors, received warm hospitality from the elves.
Although everyone got along happily, it was time to say goodbye.
A few days later, the "Ghost Pirates" set off again and left the secret realm of Sky City.
The current Elf Emperor, Isa's younger brother Igor Georg Kirchtel, and a group of Elf elders personally sent her off. Queen Isa has not shown her face since the "Moon Spring Fortress" was breached.
Going around to clear out the demons that have slipped through the net.
She asked Ige to bring a message to Raymond, saying that the "ten-year agreement" would not change, and that she would ask him to work hard to become stronger, or...whenever she was interested, she would go to the human world to find him again.
...
Ten days later, the "Golden Ghost" left the secret realm and returned to the human world again.
The Elf Secret Realm is isolated from the rest of the world, and the phone bug signal has no coverage.
The moment he came out of the confinement and isolation, Raymond's phone buzzed with messages from acquaintances and a lot of messages.
What surprised him was that they had been staying in the Elf Secret Realm for more than three months. They thought that the disturbance caused by the "Ghost Group" in the Kingdom of Giants would be smaller, but he did not expect that the disturbance would become bigger and bigger.
Capone: "Boy Raymond, you'd better avoid the limelight recently. Intelligence shows that the World Headquarters seems to be targeting you. Moreover, someone under the [Night Emperor] is inquiring about your whereabouts, saying that you were in Eleuthe
Denis killed one of their squad leaders. That guy didn't even give me face. He was determined to cause trouble for you. Be careful when you encounter it. If you really have unsolvable difficulties, tell me and I will send experts to help you.
.”
Ilya: "Uncle, the David family spent a lot of money to hire you in the mercenary union, and I also received an invitation. You should be careful. Recently, there are Shichibukai-level masters looking for your whereabouts..."
Helen: "Leymon, my third uncle said that there will be high-ranking officers at the naval headquarters specifically to arrest you, at least veteran lieutenant generals, maybe even generals..."
Liano: "Master, the CP9 headquarters has recently raised your attention level to S. The top brass of the World Headquarters are sending people to look for your whereabouts. It seems to be related to the golden bloodline of Giant King Uli. They seem to suspect that you are here.
Doctor Lulu. This task was not assigned to me, I don’t have much authority to check it, and I don’t know much about the information... You should be careful."
"..."
Raymond looked at those messages and didn't take them too seriously.
With the current strength of their "ghost group", even if they have the strength of the Shichibukai level, they will not be completely helpless and waiting to die like before, at least they will be able to fight.
If there really needs to be someone who has no eyesight, tsk tsk...
Those with bad teeth may have their teeth broken!
Raymond read the messages left by everyone and replied to them one by one.
...
On the deck, it was rare for everyone in the Ghost Group to gather together.
Thinking of giving everyone a heads up, Raymond explained the situation, "Everyone, be careful lately. Now the navy, pirates, and bounty hunters all want to cause trouble for us..."
As expected, no one had much reaction.
Although their "ghost group" doesn't have many people now, the total bounty amount exceeds 2 billion. This is a bounty only available to large pirate groups. It's strange that no one is looking for trouble.
"Captain, what would you like to eat tonight? Do you want Shiquan Dabu Decoction?"
The fat cat didn't listen at all, tilted his head and asked something completely wrong.
At the moment, he was sitting on the edge of the deck fishing, while Sol and Gigi watched eagerly, waiting to catch a big fish for lunch.
"..."
Raymond looked at Anna who was sneering at the side, his eyes were full of resentment, the "kidney deficiency" thing was probably going to hang around for a long time.
He jumped to the topic: "Everyone should be careful, it is said that another master is coming to trouble us..."
Hearing this, Thor said with a nonchalant expression: "Captain, it's okay if some blind guy comes to cause trouble, so we can stretch our muscles..."
"Yes, Captain."
Colin on the side also interjected: "With the current technological level of the 'Golden Ghost', even if the Navy's Sea King-class formation comes, they can be completely wiped out. If you really want to come... you might as well give us a try."
A new type of artillery, and my new battle suit!”
After saying that, he resumed drawing defensive runes on the hull.
Rune drawing is a very complicated process.
Defense, shock absorption, reflection, magic fusion, solidity... Each rune requires a stroke of inscription inside and out. One rune is layer-by-layer. The two of them worked hard for several months before they could finish it.
Seventy to eighty percent done.
"..."
Raymond looked at the ship at his feet and shrugged noncommittally.
The current Iron Toad can indeed give people a strong sense of security.
At this moment, blue light runes were glowing on the ship's defensive armor. All the runes drawn were at least S-level and above. The defensive power was astonishing.
He had estimated before that the market value of the rune drawing materials alone exceeded 100 billion gold coins, and there was still no market for it.
If they hadn't done a great favor to the elves, the entire elves' treasure trove accumulated for countless years would be at their disposal. It would probably not be easy to collect all these enchanting materials.
Colin has been blessed by Raymond's "Infinite Dreamland" for ten years, and he has almost understood all the contents of the "Book of Golden Runes of the Dwarves".
It can be said that in terms of the rune level of the ship, the "Golden Ghost" is second in the world, and no one dares to claim the first place!
Moreover, due to the appearance of lost high-level runes, the Iron Toad's current shipboard mana cannons have increased in number and their power has also doubled...
In a real naval battle, its firepower will definitely become a nightmare for any fleet!
Moreover, Colin's current "Kuruz Alchemy Body" is fused with the [Moon Stone], and his strength has increased dramatically. His combat power is close to that of a top transcendent.
If you really want to be a master, at least you have the ability to protect yourself.
The friends were all optimistic, and Raymond didn't say much, just lying on the beach chair and soaking up the sun.
...
But at this time, Lulu ran out of the laboratory and shouted towards the deck, saying: "Captain, those corpses and the 'culture cabin' have been packed. Now we are going to find the Chamber of Commerce."
Are they shipped out?"
"Oh? Is it better?"
Raymond suddenly became energetic and stood up from the beach chair.
He turned and looked at Anna next to him, and asked: "Anna, where is the nearest city?"
Anna: "Eight hundred nautical miles southeast, there is the 'Golden Octopus Territory'. It is a neutral territory and will not refuse the pirate group's docking supplies."
"Then let's go first...I'll 'express' those corpses to my senior brother."
Raymond said, a flash of expectation flashed in his eyes.
During this period of sailing, he spent a lot of time researching the possibility of the "reincarnation in dirty soil" skill.
The system package allowed the corpses he collected to ensure that they were "alive" just after death. Then he used the "cultivation cabin" to smoothly kill [King of Swords] Iben, [Thousand-Faced Demon] Murphy, and [Sword Master of Wind and Fire].
Cabensis...several giant corpses were successfully restored to life and their wounds were repaired.
Finally, he used the "Soul Displacer" to re-inject the branded souls into their corpses, successfully creating several half-human, half-corpse soul puppets.
Although several soul puppets with memories of their previous lives were successfully "resurrected", the problems encountered before were still not solved, and the souls were still repulsive to the corpses.
Although using their own corpses is much less repulsive and the "resurrected" soul puppets can leave the "cultivation cabin" for a short period of time, it won't be long before signs of the soul leaving the body will also appear.
Moreover, there is a very big problem, that is, the strength of the "resurrected" soul puppet will drop off a cliff once it leaves the training cabin!
Therefore, the big boss soul puppet that caused him to be "resurrected" is very useless and can hardly leave the training chamber. Once it is separated, it is like a fish out of water and will be useless in a short time.
Fortunately, Raymond also has a cheap senior brother who stands at the top of the world's necromancer pyramid - Puius.
After making a phone call and telling him about the problem he encountered, the old corpse witch who had studied undead magic for a thousand years found out the key to the problem.
For example, when it comes to resurrecting corpses, necromancers have done a lot and have tried countless methods.
Moreover, Heines had gone very far on this road back then, but in the end he also encountered problems that could not be solved, and the research was discontinued.
Although the "Soul Emperor" who claims to have extensive knowledge from ancient times to the present has created a magical method to restore the soul to sanity, he cannot restore the soul to the corpse, nor can it guarantee the freshness of the corpse...
Now, Raymond accidentally obtained two mythical instruments and solved this big problem.
As for the two problems he is encountering now, in Puius' view, they are "minor problems."
Regarding the method of solving the problem of "soul leaving the body", Puius's idea is surprisingly similar to that of "reincarnation in dirty soil".
He proposed that this problem could be solved by completely sealing the soul in the corpse with foreign objects to prevent it from spilling out. The method of sealing was to cover the corpse with "corpse soil", a specialty of the Land of the Dead, and then supplement it with
The secret seal is made into a ghostly artifact like a living pottery figurine...
According to Puius's analysis, the reason why the strength of soul puppets plummets when they leave the "training cabin"...is that they are still in the category of "corpses".
After leaving the "death energy", a decrease in strength is a normal reaction. This is a problem that all necromancers' puppets will encounter.
Therefore, Puius asked Raymond to consign the body to him to Eludnes, the "City of Eternal Night".
First to help him solve the problem, and secondly, to use the undead energy that Eleusis has accumulated for countless years to "raise the corpse", which may cause some incredible changes in the soul puppet's strength.
.......
Oh, one more thing.
It is worth mentioning that there is now a lush tree on the "Golden Ghost", with a canopy like an umbrella, adding a bit of green vitality to this cold steel steam ship.
This is the "Sacred Tree of Life".
Previously, Raymond placed the "Sacred Wood Puppet" in the moon spring water, and then it was ripened and sprouted.
When Lulu was researching, he accidentally discovered that the sacred wood puppet and the dwarf who had been soaking in a bottle of potion that looked like ginseng were grafted together, and they were perfectly integrated into one!
That dwarf was the person with the [Mumu Fruit] ability that they killed in the dwarf dungeon.
The soul was crushed, but the body did not die. The guy was kept in the bottle and was studied and experimented by Lulu.
Now the two are integrated into one, and because of the rich power of the wood law of the "Devil Fruit", the sacred wood puppet has completely matured and turned into a big tree, with some faint signs of a new "soul".
But it is not spiritual, but it is no longer a simple "plant", but a living creature with a "soul".
Raymond didn't understand what was happening to the tree now, but the tree was growing bigger and bigger.
Simply, they planted the tree on the boat.
...
One day later, the "ghost group" arrived at the "golden octopus collar".
This is an ancient territory with hundreds of years of history, famous for the glowing golden octopus found in its nearby waters.
The lord "Leicester VI" is a marquis conferred by the Carter Kingdom that rules this sea area. Legend has it that his ancestors were rich in pirates, so this territory is apparently a place for fishing to make a living, but in fact it is a den for pirates to sell their stolen goods for entertainment and gold.
Raymond went ashore and found a "shipping chamber" with a fairly good reputation, and couriered several corpses and "culture cabins" out.
As for the safety of things? There is no need to worry at all.
Even if a thief were to open the training chamber, it would be impossible for him to survive under the hands of a few intelligent boss-level corpse bosses.
What's more... even if something goes wrong, Raymond can "channel" them back at any time.
You mean psychics?
Yes, it is the secret space method of summoning dragons from across the air by the "Twelve Sages" dragon knights, the Battle family!
This kind of space magic is rare in the world, and it is impossible for outsiders to obtain it. But for the high elves, an ancient race that is the two major origins of magic, it is not a very rare collection.
Based on the relationship between Raymond and Queen Isa's kidney transplant, what secret technique can't be learned?
Now, the work of "reincarnation from dirty soil" is complete. Just wait for the courier to arrive, and Puius will give him good news after studying it.
By then, he will be able to possess a few super powerful trump cards...
...
This time when they docked, out of caution, Raymond and others landed in disguise.
Unexpectedly, someone discovered their whereabouts.
Moreover, a brave guy led a group of people to break into the "Golden Ghost" ship and knocked on the door of Lulu's laboratory.
The reason why this guy was not killed by Thor and the others guarding the ship was not because the leader he brought with him was from the Sequence 1 "Iron Sword Mercenary Group".
It's because this guy is Lulu's distant cousin!
...
When Raymond got on the boat, he was watching Sol and the others staring at the aggressive mercenaries of the "Iron Sword Mercenary Group" with wary expressions on their faces.
And a middle-aged man with a mustache, a top hat and a cane was lobbying for something.
Lulu's face became very excited after listening to this guy's words.
"What! You said my parents are not dead yet?"
"Yes! Because Dr. H tried his best to plead for your parents... So, they were only imprisoned and not executed. But in order to eliminate the impact, they were announced to have been executed..."
There was a cunning luster in that character's eyes.
He followed the instructions and showed his kindness to the elders, "I am here this time to take you back. You know, Dr. H is a kind gentleman. In the past few years, he has been dedicated to you and your Frizzini
The Luo family is acquitted. After all, the 'experimental accident' that year was not entirely your fault..."
After a pause, he continued: "Now, your former teacher, Dr. H, has been promoted and has some say. He wants to exonerate you and your parents... So, it's best for you to go back first.
..."
"this..."
When Lulu heard this, his expression suddenly became very complicated. Eagerness, expectation, and anxiety were all mixed together, making him feel extremely conflicted for a moment.
.......
"Yo..."
When Raymond stepped onto the deck, he happened to hear these words. He squinted and asked, "Who are you?"
Lulu saw Raymond coming back and quickly introduced him: "Cousin, this is my group leader, Mr. Raymond."
Turning around, he introduced to Raymond: "Captain, this is my cousin, Mr. Sherwood."
"oh?"
After hearing Lulu's introduction, the mustache raised his face slightly, narrowed his nose, and glanced out of the corner of his eye.
He seemed to have no intention of greeting Raymond and shaking hands, and only responded with a hint of arrogant snort. Scientists from the "Medical Capital" Hippocratic City were not pirates who were qualified to make friends with them.
Raymond was not angry at being shown off by this arrogant guy, and there were traces of playful arcs at the corners of his mouth.
If there hadn't been secret information from Arno, letting him know that the top brass of the World Headquarters had been secretly paying attention to Lulu... maybe he would have really given it to this guy who uses his nostrils to see people for the sake of Big Tou's son.
Save some face.
But now...
This guy named Sherwood is probably not here to rehabilitate Lulu's parents, but for Giant King Uli's "genetic technology" to break through the golden bloodline.
"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Sherwood has come all the way here for some special purpose..."
Raymond didn't say much nonsense, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
At this moment, a majestic spiritual power instantly covered the people in front of him.
The mustache and the mercenaries had no time to resist, and they felt dizzy for a moment. The next moment, Raymond's voice, like a magic voice, echoed in their minds.
"Now, let's talk in a different way..."
Astonishingly, it was Raymond who cast a mind control spell, which directly put several people into a hypnotic state!
