In the Haizhu Palace, the market in the outer city was bustling with people, and on both sides of the street, there were various shops.
The pirates living in the Samara Islands must know a little common sense, that is, the most lively place in the super-large hall on the main island is not the storm area at the core of power, but the outermost outer city.
The main hall of the sea is divided into three areas, they are: the storm area, the inner city and the outer city.
In the storm zone, only sea lord-level characters can enter, or their deputies, that is, the first mate and second mate, this type of third-tier powerhouse who is subordinate to the sea lords also has the right to live temporarily.
In the inner city, only a pirate regiment whose strength has entered the 'first-class' level and has been registered by the maritime government is eligible to settle in the inner city. To do this, the premise is that there are several pardon councilors in the pirate regiment. The former black The Crusaders are at this level.
They are not as good as the forces under the command of the five sea lords, but they can be regarded as a well-known pirate group at sea, the mainstay of the sea of ashes forces.
The outer city is mainly the habitat of the second- and third-rate pirate groups. To have a pardon member is already at the top of the second-rate pirate groups. In more cases, the captains of these pirate groups only had second-tier strength, and their subordinates were all first-tier strength.
This is the normal state in the Sea of Ashes. They occupy the largest majority. Therefore, the outer city is more lively than the two inner areas. Of course, they are both under the roof covering the sky. It is said to be an urban area, but it is actually more similar to a gathering point.
At this moment, on Green Agate Street in the outer city, inside a bar with a fishbone sign—
"Hey, hey, have you heard?"
A big-headed pirate who was slightly drunk bumped his companion with his elbow: "A new sea lord was born in our sea of ashes, and at noon yesterday, the other party had already arrived at the coast."
"The new sea lord? Then... isn't that the sixth sea lord?"
The companion who was playing cards trembled when he heard this, and dropped a few cards.
It wasn't just him, the pirates at the nearby bar were all attracted by the topic, and looked at the big headed pirate one by one, urging him not to be a fool, and to clarify the news quickly.
At the same time, in a corner where no one noticed, a slender figure covered by a cloak was crawling on the wine table, pouring cups of the cheapest low-quality ale into his mouth.
Hearing the noise of the big-headed pirates, the cloaked man moved his ears and raised his head slowly. What was surprising was that the cloaked man was actually wearing a pure black grimace mask, which was a bit like Suleman's exorcism mask in his previous life. on the face of the latter.
Because the mask was only a thin layer, the cloaked man never took off his mask when he drank.
In the Samara Islands, it is not uncommon to wear a mask in the living area of the pirates. After all, some people themselves are prominent figures in the civilized city-states on land. Just a moment ago, they might have been the leaders of a certain chamber of commerce, but when they stepped into the realm of the Sea of Ashes, they suddenly transformed into the leaders of a certain famous pirate group.
It even works from top to bottom, not to mention the second- and third-rate pirate groups, even the five sea lords, there are people who maintain a mysterious identity
In this atmosphere, camouflage masks are a normal phenomenon for pirates. However, most of their masks are made of metal, mainly gold, silver, copper and iron—they have never seen a soft mask that clings to the face like a cloaked man.
"The sixth sea lord?"
The slender figure lowered his head and murmured softly: "I just returned to Haizhu Hall today, I seem to have missed some interesting things, hehe, the conflict between the Hunting Church and the Silver Moon Church is becoming more and more acute, and the conflict is about to break out , The sea of ashes itself has grown a little bit more. This should be considered good news for me, right?"
The voice of the man in the cloak seems to have been processed, making it impossible to distinguish between male and female. It is somewhat ethereal and indifferent, as if looking down on the bystanders in the world.
The next second, the slender figure stretched his waist, turned his head suddenly, and shouted at the big-headed pirate: "Boss Harrison, serve him a glass of buttered ale. This glass is mine."
During the conversation, the voice of the cloaked man changed, it sounded approachable, and it did not return to the original ethereal indifference.
"Thank you, this brother is refreshing enough!"
Hearing the treat, the big-headed pirate grinned, showing some yellow teeth, and stopped being a joke, and directly described what happened on the coastline at that time, based on the original foundation, and described it with more details——
"At that time, the great Lord of Black Mist rushed out from the Sea Lord's Hall, moved with his best black mist, and hurried to the coastline. As soon as he got there, he saw the newly promoted Red Rose, she should be called Lord Hong Qiang, don’t ask me why the name hasn’t been decided yet, just so sure? That’s not the point!”
"The key point is Lord Hongqiang's actions. Facing the aggressive Lord of Black Mist, she has no intention of backing down. She insists on protecting the young red-haired gentleman. It was because the procuratorial army wanted to arrest the red-haired young man, but Lord Hong Qiang had an unusual relationship with him, so something happened."
"Later, Lord Red Qiang clashed with Lord Black Mist in front of everyone because of that young man."
What the big-headed pirate said made the nearby pirates prick up their ears, for fear of missing a detail.
It is conceivable that after they heard the news, with the bragging character of the pirates, the news would soon sweep the entire Sea of Ashes. Even the sailors in the port would be proud to brag about this 'news'.
Whether it is pirates or sailors, they are essentially a group of professional groups who are prone to gossip
"Lord Red Rose and Lord Black Mist, are they fighting?" The cloaked man suddenly asked, and asked his first question since he heard the news. As for this question, he quickly got an answer from the other party.
"certainly!"
The big-headed pirate was convinced, with a confident attitude: "The two fought until the nearby pirates and government troops were affected. Seeing that the losses were too great, they stopped fighting, but there was no winner. .”
"The dispute between the two sea lords will continue to their armies"
"As a result, the sea of ashes that follows will definitely not be calm, especially the greatest king of the sea of ashes, who has never been seen."
Before speaking of the term Lord of the Ash Sea, the big-headed pirate deliberately emphasized the word "greatest", obviously very forcefully. It can be seen that he has always respected this mysterious strongman who has ruled the Ash Sea for a hundred years.
"Thank you, although you are a bit of a liar, the information you gave me is still useful"
The man in the cloak nodded slightly, and the next moment, the slender figure suddenly blurred, gradually disappearing from the air like ripples in the color of water.
At the same time, all the drinkers present stared blankly, their eyes were dazed, sluggish and at a loss. A few seconds later, when they came back to their senses, the whole bar seemed to start over from a jammed video tape. play.
But the period of time lost in the middle still had an inevitable impact on them. For example, the big-headed pirate who talked so much before, stared blankly at the buttered ale in his hand, and had only one thought in his mind—
"When did I order this thing?"
The most terrible thing is that when he hadn't finished his glass of ale, the lame boss Harrison came over to charge him for the drink.
No one paid for this glass of butter ale.
The main hall of the sea, the storm area, and the tents stretched into pieces, forming a rather spectacular scene.
In the most central storm area, they did not build houses on the streets like the outer city. Instead, there were only a large number of tents in a row, one on the ground. They echo the whaleskin tents in the dome above, forming a unique style that is the dominant feature of the 'Government at Sea'.
At this moment, Suleman was in a tent in the hospitality area. Back then, when Sylvie showed her strength on the coastline and proved that she was the sixth sea lord, the entire maritime government immediately took action.
So, when Sylvie brought him to the storm zone, a group of well-dressed knights immediately came up to meet her.
That is the 'arbitration agency' responsible for internal affairs at sea. They set up an arbitration agency following the example of the Orthodox Church's internal structure, and there is also a meeting to hunt down the ruins of the ruined city at sea, which can be called a perfect replica of Sharingan.
This group of knights belonging to the arbitration agency has a much higher status than the inspecting army on the outer coast. Similarly, after seeing Sylvie, they immediately knelt down and pledged their loyalty to this new Lord Jinhai.
According to the ancient rules of the Sea of Ashes, this is the manifestation of the power of the sea masters.
Of course, the entry of each newly promoted sea master represents the internal power of the sea government and will usher in a new reshuffle.
It wasn't the knights of the arbitration agency who could fool her with their feigned allegiance to her.
In fact, on the eve of the Sea King Conference, Sylvie's return as a 'sea lord' at this juncture already represented her intention, and Suleman knew this well.
Because of this, after arranging tents adjacent to each other, Sylvie set off alone and began to inspect various places.
This is her nominal excuse, but she is actually recruiting new subordinates to enclose territory in the Haizhu Palace. It is not difficult to guess that when the Haiwang Conference is held, there will inevitably be a new voice in the parliament—only belonging to Xi. Elvie's power.
In contrast, Suleman was free. At this moment, he was finally free to hand in the task.
[Reminder: The plot event · Black Cross Honor (Lv42)/first ring, meets the hand-in standard, may I ask whether to submit the task?]
"Yes!" Suleman responded affirmatively.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is the first time he has completed a series of missions in this life. He still remembers that when he was in Gangdian City, his mission failed due to the unexpected influence of the Qisheng Society. Another hidden plot is triggered.
Although it was a blessing in disguise, in the end, Suleman also lost a series of missions, and did not explore the plot behind the mission. I am afraid that the plot of the ancient nobles may not be as good as the plot of the Praying Society. However, if Suleman Going deeper and digging out the relationship between the ancient nobles and the Praying Society in advance, maybe things will become different later.
Ibis doesn't have to be taken away by the Red Sacrifice Saint
However, the Red Sacrifice Saint also personally promised him that as long as Suleman can reach the dawn state and possess the power to protect Ibis, he can bring his daughter out again.
Suleman is not too far away from the dawn realm. He is currently at the peak of the third rank, which is a world of difference from when he left Gangdian City. In addition, he and Sylvie recognize each other, with the help of each other, it may not take too long to be promoted to Liming.
After all, he knows the 'content' of the fourth ceremony. As for the promotion materials, he can find them from the ancient ruined cities in the Sea of Ashes, or simply stroke the wool of the Sin Flame. Not so bad.
When he is promoted to Liming, he will be able to go to the Fushi Palace to find his mother and daughter. If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem like a bad thing
"Things in the world are always so helpless, it is difficult to have the best of both worlds."
"But I don't have to do multiple choice questions."
Suleman sighed a little, then, he looked at the message below and immediately opened his eyes wide.
[Reminder: Your task completion rate is 100%, triggering the perfect reward, and the reward is being calculated.]
[Reminder: After the calculation, your rewards are as follows—]
"Reward: 12,000 experience points, +30 favorability with the Black Cross (first ring), [Book of Dawn]."
Hiss, it turned out to be a perfect reward. Suleman opened his eyes wide, never expecting that his mission could reach 100% completion and trigger the rarest perfect reward!
In theory, as long as a task can reveal all the information, it can reach 100% completion.
But this is only in theory, because in the actual execution process, it is almost impossible for players to uncover all of them. The plot behind each task is very huge. The number of perfect rewards is less than one hand, but he has the hope of hitting the high-level powerhouse of the demigod!
The difficulty of perfect rewards can be seen.
It's actually a perfect reward. Could it be because I got in touch with Sylvie and induced her to reveal the identity of the 'Sea Lord'? ! Suleman was shocked. Relying on his rich experience in his previous life, he realized the difficulty of this task.
It's on Sylvie!
This first mission, on the surface, is to assist Adolf Shipyard to obtain the protection of the Black Cross, but in fact, the real requirement is to witness Sylvie's identity as the sea lord, but if there is no accident, Sylvie will continue to To conceal strength.
No.
To be precise, something happened to Sylvie. In her previous life, she might have wanted to hide it until the conference was held, but for some reason, she continued to hide her strength. This is the reason why Suleman in her previous life had never heard of her name!
The key point of this mission is Sylvie, so the name is 'Honor of the Black Cross', not 'Honor of Adolf'.
But ordinary people, why should Sylvie change her mind and expose her strength in advance? There is only one answer, and that is 'Sulman Stuart' to qualify! The moment she saw her 'brother', she couldn't care less about concealing her strength.
Otherwise, the Black Cross can choose to silence her at sea, let the insider keep her secret, and don't need to return to the Samara Islands, and can't wait to show her strength. All of this stems from the influence of a certain man on her.
This is my butterfly effect.
Suleman took a deep breath, once again experiencing the trick of fate.
