"Wow, is this true? Stealing a bride? You guys are really brave."
Among the crowd, only Nomi was very interested in this, and she came to the pirate leader to gossip.
"Yes, yes, the bride and our boss are the ones who truly love each other. Now our boss is going to take back everything he lost!"
Seeing Nomi's support, the pirate leader couldn't help but show pride on his face and spoke passionately.
"… "
Who do you think you are? Is the Dragon King back
Hearing this, Roger couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Okay, since there's a fight going on inside, I won't go in for now."
"Now I need to ask you some questions. You answer truthfully, or you will go to the mud and feed the fish. Got it?"
Roger sat on the chair and said leisurely.
The captured pirates naturally nodded hurriedly.
Seeing that they were so honest, Roger didn't waste any time and started asking questions directly.
"What is the distribution of races in the Swamp of Corruption? How many settlements are there like the Gostya Quagmire?"
"Most of the people in the Rotten Swamp are humans and extraordinary people. There are many free city-states and small settlements. Some remote areas have demi-humans, swamp crocodiles, and some other races..."
"So, how much do you know about the history of the Swamp of Corruption?"
"... This... I, this..."
Upon hearing Rogge's question, one of the more mature pirate leaders broke out in a cold sweat.
He doesn’t know the answer to this question!
Fortunately, not all of these three people are husbands.
"My Lord, I know something!"
Another pirate found an opportunity to speak, and immediately spoke in a way that sought credit and flattery.
Most of the humans in the Swamp of Corruption come from the Sea of Repentance.
Most people know this.
However, no one actually knows that a long time ago, before the extraordinary beings from the Sea of Repentance entered in large numbers, the Corrupted Swamp was the territory of the swamp crocodile people.
They established a kingdom here, but because they did not have enough power, it was destroyed after the extraordinary people entered in large numbers.
Instead, there are several free city-states, controlled by different lords and their families.
Apart from these, there are other races living in some large settlements and remote areas.
It is worth mentioning that since the Swamp of Corruption is surrounded by the border fog, some areas are also divided by the border fog, forming some small independent areas.
The swamp of corruption is like a big bubble, and these small independent areas are some small bubbles adjacent to it.
Finally, there is one more important point.
That is, in the swamp of corruption, slavery is rampant.
This made Roger frown.
In his opinion, extraordinary people should be a kind of people born to seek self-realization for the entire human race.
However, in the corrupt swamp controlled by the extraordinary people, slavery is rampant.
It's funny to say that the smiling nobles of those city-states treat their fellow human beings and foreigners equally.
As long as you can work, you can be a slave...
This pirate leader escaped from a settlement and became a pirate.
"Is it because the land and resources are scarce and the productivity is too backward?"
'Or is there another reason?'
"No, the world with supernatural powers cannot be equated with the real world..."
Rogge thought about it and finally felt that he had to look at the situation before drawing a conclusion.
"Two last questions."
"How much do you know about the extraordinary people?"
"Also, have you heard of Doyle Dewes? Or Etal?"
Hearing this, the three captured pirates looked at each other.
Finally, one of the pirates spoke hesitantly.
"Sir, we don't know much... We only heard that extraordinary people need to drink something called magic potion..."
"As for the two people you mentioned, we have never heard of them..."
"Okay, I got it." Rogge raised his hand and interrupted their conversation.
Apart from some specific details about the swamp, he did not find out any important information he wanted to know.
After thinking for a moment, Roger said to them: "I will let you go this time, but you have to go back to find your boss Finmag and ask him to come out and meet me."
"I'll wait for him here."
After saying that, Roger waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
The three pirates thanked him repeatedly with tears of gratitude, saying that they would definitely deliver the message, and then they slipped away without hesitation.
"Brother Roger, why don't we go in and take a look?"
"Ah, a wedding robbery! I've never seen that before!"
Nomi said expectantly.
Rogge looked at her speechlessly. Why was this girl always interested in weird things
"No, let's just wait here for a while. If you really want to know, you can ask the pirate leader later."
"Oh, okay." Nomi was a little disappointed. She wanted to see the wedding robbery scene with her own eyes.
Rogge began to check on Heisatan's condition.
Although the Swamp of Corruption is not as large as the Sea of Repentance and other independent seas.
But relatively speaking it is not small.
It took them quite a while to go back and forth from Dragon Bone Rock.
During this period of time, Heisatan's fuel condensation progress naturally improved.
It has gone through nearly three rounds of erosion.
[Combustion is condensing (44%)]
However, his body has not yet begun the process of condensing and is not in any special state.
It is probably due to the special features of the potion master.
The second is the crew.
The leveling grounds in both scenes provide significant improvements to them.
However, there is still a long way to go to the next level.
When talking about caves, we have to mention the cave keys.
Now, he has completed two scenes of the land cave and has explored almost all places.
But he still didn't find the key to the cave.
Could it be that this is the end of the land cave
Full of doubts, Roger could only place his hopes on the underwater cave.
But to be honest, the location of the underwater cave may be difficult to find.
He had searched in the Sea of Udona and the Sea of Confession, but in the end it all pointed to the Border Mist.
This means that it must be in some sea area isolated by border fog.
So he could only put it aside for the time being.
The priority now is to find the whereabouts of Doyle and Etal, as well as the solution to Mira's curse.
Roger in front of the screen held a pen and paper and sighed.
"This crappy game is too open. There's not even a task record system. I have to record it myself..."
…
The Green waited for a long time in the dark and muddy swamp.
The sound of artillery fire in the distance also stopped, and it seemed that the war in the Costa Quagmire had come to an end.
Soon, a pirate ship with domineering decorations and a pirate flag with a swamp monster pattern came towards the Green.
The ship was huge, bigger than the Green.
The leader was a bearded man in his thirties with a short ponytail.
His eyes were fierce and he was wearing a simple piece of thin clothing, with his chest exposed and covered with scars.
He had a knife on his waist.
Soon, the Swamp Monster stopped in front of the Green.
The man stopped the actions of his men behind him, bent his legs, jumped dozens of meters, and landed lightly on the deck of the Green.
"Swamp Monster Finmag." Roger said, and then his eyes fell on the knife at his waist: "Can you use a knife?"
Finmag did not answer Roger's question, but asked: "Who are you?"
His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but his eyes were solemn and vigilant.
He is a transcendent being at the apostle level.
Naturally, he could feel the terrifying strength of the person in front of him.
I can’t see through it, his rank was higher than his before!
"Rogge, an ordinary traveler."
Traveler…
Finmag frowned slightly: "Just tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Don't be so serious, I just want to ask you something." Roger waved his hand.
"I want to know the secrets about the extraordinary people."
"And inquire about the whereabouts of several people."
Roger said.
Hearing this, Finmag was silent for a moment.
Secrets? You are a transcendent at the level of an agent, and you still need to ask me, a mere apostle
However, judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be joking.
Just as he was thinking, several bone spirits in heavy armor came over with chairs and seats and placed them in front of the two of them.
Another bone spirit served tea.
"Please take a seat."
Roger sat in front of him.
The moment Finmag saw the Bone Spirit, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
These guys... carry a strong smell of death!
But, it seems that there is no malicious intent...
This is actually just the subordinate of the person in front of him!
Never mind. If he is hostile, I am definitely no match for him...
Thinking of this, Finmag took a deep breath to calm himself down, then sat down opposite Rogge and began to answer his questions.
The first is some secret knowledge about extraordinary people.
Regarding this, Rogge actually had the mentality of finding out the gaps and filling them up.
Although the knowledge he obtained was fragmentary, he has now made his own way.
However, he had no idea how potion masters could be promoted to the rank of angels.
I thought that those who had taken potion transcendence would be promoted automatically, but there was no movement at all. It seems that some special methods are needed.
After hearing his question, Finmag was stunned for a moment.
"... Mr. Roger, if I'm not mistaken, you are not from the Rotten Swamp, right?"
"No." Roger shook his head, "But how did you know?"
Finmag sighed after hearing this, and then said, "Captain Roger, do you know why I want to attack the settlement of Costia Quagmire?"
"Why?"
"Because the Costia family, who controls the Costia Quagmire, knows the secrets of how to become an agent."
Finmag said calmly.
"Ah?" Nomi at the side couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you start the war just to snatch the bride?"
"… "
Upon hearing this, Finmag's expression froze.
Seeing this, Roger forced himself to hold back his laughter and glared at her: "Nomi, don't talk nonsense."
"Oh." Nomi quickly shut up after hearing that.
It seems that this romantic story is just a rumor.
Roger heard what he said and understood what he meant.
"So, what you mean is that in the Swamp of Corruption, the methods of advancement of extraordinary beings and the formulas of magic potions are all controlled by these big families?"
"That's right." Finmag took a deep breath and nodded.
"They have a firm grasp of the refining of potion formulas and extraordinary knowledge."
"If you master this, you will master great power."
"They used this as a threat, treating all civilians and foreigners as slaves, humiliating, oppressing, and even holding the power of life and death in their hands."
"The reason why I attacked the Costia Quagmire is because they possess extraordinary knowledge in this area, and their family has not promoted a powerful extraordinary person in decades."
"But, before I entered the Costa Fortress, those bastards burned all the secrets..."
Bang!
Finmag was so angry that he pounded the table with his fist, spilling the tea.
"In their own words, they would rather let the secret disappear into the world than hand it over to a lowly pirate like me..."
Finmag gritted his teeth, the anger in his heart almost overflowing.
Rogge was amazed when he heard this.
I didn't expect that the Costa family was so strong-willed.
However, since Finmag said so, I guess I have to change my target now.
It is definitely impossible for some ordinary people to know the secrets he wants.
If you want to find it, you have to look for a big family in a free city or a settlement...
Rogge summoned a bone spirit, straightened the teacup, poured more tea, and wiped the tea off the table.
Upon seeing this, Finmag suddenly realized that he had really been unable to distinguish between the big and small kings.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Roger, I lost my composure."
Finmag apologized.
The strong man Rogge did not bother with him because he was giving him face. Although he was not afraid of death, he was not so ignorant of etiquette.
"fine."
"Since you don't know the secret, have you ever heard of Doyle Deweiss and Etal?"
"If all else fails... Have you heard of the Rose Island?"
"Doyle Dewes?" Finmag frowned and repeated, then said, "I have never heard of this person, but you can go to the city-state of Ryanlando. There is a Dewes family there."
"As for the Rose Island... I haven't heard of it."
The DeWeese family…
Roger nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Thank you."
"Since you and your men have answered my questions today, it stands to reason that I should give you something in return."
"But before that, I want to ask you one last question."
"Why did you become a pirate?"
Roger looked at him and said.
Hearing this, Finmag was silent for a moment.
Finally, he reached out, slowly let down his ponytail, and lowered his head.
Only then did Roger see that there was a large bald spot on his head with an ugly scar on it.
It turns out that he tied his hair into a ponytail to cover up the scar.
"I want to destroy these families and break their monopoly on power."
"Extraordinary power should not be used for oppression."
He said calmly.
Hearing this, Roger chuckled.
Then he took out a booklet and a Black Tide Seal.
"These are some extraordinary secrets and the mark of the black tide."
"The method of advancement you want should be on it. Secondly, if you need anything, you can use the Black Tide Seal to pray."
"Of course, it's paid, and you'd better offer something valuable."
"Thank you." Finmag accepted it without hesitation, but he then looked at the mark in his hand and hesitated.
"… I wonder what this mark points to?"
As a transcendent being at the level of an apostle, he still knew some secrets about believers.
The existence pointed to by this mark does not seem to be a good person at first glance.
"I."
Roger spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Finmag's pupils suddenly shrank and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"this… "
He subconsciously felt that Roger was joking.
Rogge didn't explain too much. This was just a small help he gave to Finmag. He could use it if he wanted to, and forget it if he didn't.
Seeing that Rogge didn't say anything, Finmag didn't say anything more.
"Afen!"
At this time, a woman's voice called out from the Swamp Monster.
When everyone looked, they saw a woman still in her wedding dress waving at them.
Finmag coughed lightly, then said seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Roger, goodbye."
Then Finmag jumped back to his boat.
"… "
Rogge naturally also saw the woman in the wedding dress.
"It's the bride! He really went to steal the bride!"
Nomi's eyes widened.
One ball a day!
