As an auxiliary of the "Duke of Entropy" ceremony, Bernadette knew very well that Nast's promotion success was a fluke. If it hadn't been for the Battle of Rossed, the pirate king once again demonstrated his existence and gained support from the pirates.
worship and belief, then he might lose control on the spot because of the failure of promotion.
Even so, Nast's mental state is not stable. He needs more "anchors" to stabilize his state, and to digest part of the magic potion as soon as possible to offset the mental impact. Therefore, once he leaves the early stage of promotion, he will definitely have to
To truly build your own pirate kingdom, the equally active pirate king "Immortal King" Agaritu will become your first goal.
As a high-sequence existence of the "Devil" path, Agaritu's "malicious perception" is likely to have undergone a qualitative change and achieved an almost prophetic effect. In order not to become a victim of the "King of the Five Seas" in establishing a pirate empire, this
The pirate king must find a way to save himself and occupy enough anchors among the pirates to influence Nast in the opposite direction.
In addition to the four kings of the same level, Agaritu can only take action against the pirate generals to expand his prestige.
"I only follow your orders."
Hearing Cattleya's answer, the "Mysterious Queen" shook her head. This is not a question of whose orders you only obey. It is a question of the future pirate king... No, there will only be one pirate emperor, and that is Nast...
Solomon.
"What about you?"
Cattleya's expression changed slightly. Even if Nast and the Queen had cooperated many times, and they had Emperor Russell as a bond, there was no telling what would happen in the future.
Bernadette still didn't answer. She didn't care about her identity as the "Queen of Mysteries". Becoming a pirate was just a rebellious journey to dissatisfy her father's various actions, but later it became a retreat for her, covering up
With her identity and the protection of Savini and Nast, she was able to escape the pursuit of many forces in Intis.
…
On the deck, with the help of special sedatives prepared by "toxin expert" Frank Lee and beer mixed with sedatives, Klein and Anderson worked together to free the crew of the "Future" from the influence of the laughter of the "Immortal King"
, only to have time to think about what just happened.
Now their ship is still at the edge of the sea of ruins, and the "Sad Death" no longer knows where it is heading. Obviously, "The Faithless" Agaritu cannot voluntarily give up hunting them. He can only encounter uncontrollable circumstances.
Condition.
Looking at the closed window in the captain's cabin, Klein's heart moved. Was it the "Queen of Mystery" who had arrived?
Among the four kings of the sea, the "Immortal King" Agaritu ranks last. If the "Mysterious Queen" arrives, the opponent will definitely choose to withdraw.
But, wasn’t the timing too good?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the "Star Admiral" has powerful sealed objects in his hands or the special means given by the "Mysterious Queen" scared off Agaritu.
Standing next to Klein, Anderson Hood held his chin in his fist with his right hand. He was also looking at the closed window in the captain's room. With a smile that seemed to see through everything, he said lightly:
"Agaritu is an extraordinary person of the 'devil' path."
This sentence sounded incomprehensible, but Klein realized what the other party wanted to say, and Anderson also noticed some problems with Cattleya.
At this time, Cattleya opened the window, her lips moved slightly, and her voice followed the wind and reached Klein's ears secretly:
"Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you."
Klein, who was not surprised, adjusted his mood and walked directly towards the captain's cabin.
Looking at his back, Anderson Hood rubbed his chin, suddenly remembered something and said quickly:
"You think of a way to see if you can solve my problem... don't bother you anymore."
Klein paused and continued walking towards the captain's cabin.
…
Opening the door, Klein saw that there was only one person in the room.
In front of the closed window, stood a woman with a very good figure, but her dress did not match the style of any country in his mind. This kind of dress combination made him dream of returning to Earth.
"Queen of Mystery", Bernadette Gustave, the eldest daughter of Russell, who is also a friend of the traveler.
She turned around and looked at the crazy adventurer up and down with her blue eyes that seemed to contain an ocean, making the blue dyed with a hint of deep purple:
"I already know Sharf's problem, and I can tell you about the existence of your faith."
Do you know? Can you tell me? Should the deal be done? Klein secretly complained, his expression unchanged:
"Only my Lord can decide everything."
Bernadette nodded slightly, not surprised by this.
"I hope you can share with me the interpretation method of words created by Emperor Russell. I can satisfy most of your requirements."
It seems that Ms. "Hermit" still told Bernadette. This is in line with her character, but she may not dare to take such a big risk. It should be that she revealed part of it... Through analysis, the "Queen of Mystery" believes that "The Fool"
"Sir, you have only mastered the method of interpreting the text, but not the text itself. As a favored person, it is normal for me to have the ability to interpret the text... Klein neither admitted nor denied it, but just laughed and said:
"Can you give me the corresponding high-sequence potion formula?"
The "Queen of Mystery" looked at him with restrained but undiminished temperament and said:
"Your destiny lies at the summit of the Honakis Mountains."
This... Klein was inexplicably shocked, and he turned his eyes slightly:
"But it's not something I can explore right now."
"You are going to go eventually!" Bernadette replied in a very sure tone.
Are you a "divineer" or am I a "divineer"? Not everyone is a magician... Even though Klein was complaining about himself, his eyelids still jumped when he heard such affirmative words. For a Sequence 3 Saint
He had to be careful about the predictions he made.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Judging from Russell's diary, Bernadette chose the "Secret Peeper" path, but I don't know if there is a jump path, but no matter it is
"Peeper of Secrets" or "Person of Knowledge", he didn't know what Sequence 3 was called.
"Tell the doomed hunter a prophecy. The most deadly dangers are often hidden in the most ordinary life."
prophecy?
After knowing the effects of acting and potions on people, Klein was almost certain that Bernadette's sequence had the ability to predict. When he was about to interpret what this sentence meant, he found that the "Mysterious Queen" had disappeared from the room.
Inside.
Almost at the same time, Cattleya pushed open the door and walked in. Her slightly dark purple black eyes quickly scanned the room. A look of disappointment appeared on her face, but she quickly calmed down and returned to the strong and confident look of "Admiral of the Stars".
.
Well, without the help of the "Joker" ability, it is not easy to restrain emotions... Klein nodded to the other party, saw that he had no intention of asking, and walked out of the captain's room.
…
Maxi, Winston, Wende Palace.
King Orff was walking in the garden that was full of spring and flowers were about to bloom. Rawls, the crown prince, supported him. On the other side was the largest nobleman in Marseille, Duke Fernandez.
Compared with the king who already needs help to walk, this Duke, who is no younger than Orff, still looks energetic. Even most of his hair is black, and there are only a few wrinkles on his face. He looks like
A middle-aged man.
He is a powerful Beyonder and a Sequence 5 "Punishing Knight".
Yes, he is an Extraordinary of the "Arbiter" path. His family inheritance can be traced back to before the "Oath-Breaking War", and the magic potion comes from the royal family of Castile in Feneport, but their faith made them choose
The Kingdom of Maxi supported by the Church of Knowledge.
During this period, Orff may have met Rawls and fulfilled a wish, or he may have noticed Ma Xi's hidden danger. His body collapsed quickly and he needed help even to walk.
Even after taking the potion refined by Alicia, he could barely hold on.
Knowing that his time was running out, Orff frequently summoned some great nobles and important members of the royal family, and as the crown prince, Rawls always accompanied him. He knew that his grandfather had already begun to pave the way for him.
Once Orff dies, although Ma Xi will not be in doubt about his master's status, as the Church of Knowledge rarely interferes in the political structure, it will definitely take a long time for Rawls, who has no foundation, to gain access to these nobles.
Trustworthy enough.
"...I still remember the giant bear you hunted in Fengwo Forest, Juan. Its bear paws were indeed as delicious as Emperor Russell described!"
Duke Juan Fernandez touched the short beard under his chin and said with a hearty smile:
"If Your Majesty wants, I can hunt another one for Your Majesty, but now there are fewer and fewer people who can cook bear paws. I'm afraid I have to find one from Intis."
"I'm afraid I can't taste it anymore..." Orff patted Rawls' right arm, which was supporting him. "Look, I even need someone to help me walk."
"The coldest period has passed, and your Majesty's health will soon improve."
"I also hope that I can hold on longer. After all, Rawls is still young, but I'm afraid my body won't be able to hold on anymore."
The tall and burly Duke Fernandez narrowed his cloudy eyes:
"His Royal Highness June is about to marry Princess Delina of Loen. Your Majesty must get better for this matter."
"I think I can still persevere at that time, but..." Rawls felt Orff's left hand holding his right arm tightly for a moment, "I will still have to rely on you from now on."
The Grand Duke did not answer, but held Orff's right arm and glanced at Rawls. Rawls put down his grandfather's left hand knowingly and stood there, watching the two people gradually move away.
Most of the nobles in Ma Xi have certain restrictions on their power due to the existence of the Knowledge Church, but for the big nobles, they still have great influence in the political arena. They have enough money, although they are not able to completely bribe those members of the parliament.
, but simply providing financial support is enough to gain favor, especially for those scholars whose research has little economic value.
The Fernandez family is the best among them. After all, six hundred years ago, they were the Dukes of Feneport like the Gonzalez family. It was only because of their own circumstances that they did not establish another Ma Xi.
However, since the founding of the country, successive Dukes Fernandez have been the king's right-hand men, and there have been few cases of discord. The current Duke Juan Fernandez grew up with King Orff, and even became more powerful when he did not inherit the title.
He is the chief of the palace guard.
After recalling the Duke and his family information in his mind, Rawls was relatively confident that Orff would let him side with him. Because no matter whether he had bad thoughts or not, it was important to support a person with no foundation like him.
The crown prince's ascension to the throne will only bring benefits to the Fernandez family, but no harm.
About ten minutes later, Juan Fernandez, who was wearing a large cloak and dressed as a noble but more like a general, came over, but Orff did not appear.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has gone to rest. Can we have a chat?"
"Of course, it's my honor." Rawls walked over.
"I have always had a question, and I wonder if His Highness can answer me."
"certainly."
Rawls still gave the same answer and looked at Duke Fernandez in front of him with a smile.
"What do you think of His Highness Desiree and His Highness Karl?" Juan's gray-blue eyes were like a mirror that reflected people's hearts.
"They are all my relatives."
"...Haha, that's enough." Mr. Duke was silent for a while, stroking his short beard and laughing, "Then do you have any questions for me, Your Highness?"
"That might offend the Duke."
Rawls's eyes lit up. He did have many questions to ask, but these questions had little to do with the Fernandez family or Luen.
"It doesn't matter, young people should be more energetic."
"I heard from my grandfather that your grandfather, the old Duke, once followed Emperor Russell?"
"No, I just led an army of Ma Xi to join the emperor's army and participated in the war with Feneport." Hearing Rawls talk about his grandfather, Juan's tone became quite proud.
.
"I'm very confused. Ma Xi split from Feneport, but why..." Rawls shook his head as he spoke. What he really wanted to ask was the "Battle of Oath Breaking" and the
Castilla family.
"It is precisely because of this that the Castilla family has always wanted to regain the 'lost land', and this is not what we want."
"Was the faith conflict really that huge back then? Intis and Loen both have multiple faiths, and there doesn't seem to be much conflict."
"Originally it was just a normal conflict, but Intis and Loen created a bigger conflict. It was only when they started the war that they realized it. By that time, the situation had developed to the point where it was uncontrollable."
