"This kind of thing can't be done by one person!"
Leylin smiled and sat down beside Isabel, and took her arm.
"Don't..." Isabelle struggled.
"Sit down!" Leylin's expression became solemn, causing Isabel's momentum to stagnate, and even the strength in his hands decreased a bit.
Leylin slowly rolled up Isabelle's sleeves. What he saw was not the fair and delicate girl's skin, but a strange arm covered with scales. There was also a curved wound on the shoulder and elbow, which was from the past. Injuries caused by Tiff.
"Demonization? And it seems to be quite an advanced transformation ritual..."
Leylin shrugged his shoulders, and then skillfully used magic energy to heal Isabel's wound, and finally applied medicine to bind it up.
"It's ugly... isn't it?" At some point, Isabelle turned her face away, her voice seemed to be choked with sobs.
"No! It's actually okay!"
Leylin said seriously, after all, his previous transformation into a warlock was not much better, almost giving up the existence of human form completely.
"And one more thing… "
Leylin seemed to be concentrating on treatment, but he was still talking softly.
"I want to set up a privateer fleet, I hope you will come and help me!"
"Being a pirate? Why?" Isabelle's face froze, "Private" and so on, but it's just a nice name for a pirate.
"When others came to bully us, we have to pay back!" Leylin sneered.
"As for the candidates, those pirates of the Black Tiger Pirates, I could have hanged them directly as lords, and now I can use them as waste!"
"Also, I found a good first officer for you, that is Robin Hood, he performed well today, and more importantly, he is very familiar with the rules of pirates..."
"With our people as the backbone and those pirates as the grassroots, together with the captured pirate ships and Steve's wealth, we should be able to pull up the team soon. I need you to firmly control this power..."
Leylin quickly wrapped the gauze, and at this time Isabelle also wiped away the tears on her face, and restored her previous tough image, although Leylin felt that the crying girl just now was more like her cousin when she was a child a little.
"How do you know that I will definitely agree?"
Isabel looked at Leylin.
"Because this is my request! Cousin!" Leylin smiled, but it made Isabelle's face blush.
"I need to think about this matter! You go out first!"
Obviously, sharing the same room with Leylin in the small cabin made Isabelle feel a little cramped.
"I'll wait for the good news!" Leylin walked out and closed the door politely. In fact, he knew that the other party had already agreed, because it was also beneficial to Isabelle.
"...A high-level demon? Hehe..." Leylin rubbed his chin, and there seemed to be a different kind of brilliance in his eyes.
Control an army of pirates! This sounds a bit rebellious, after all, it is really humiliating to carry out such a criminal act as a nobleman.
But in fact, Leylin knew what kind of evil the nobles of this world hide under the skin of glory, civilization, and nobility. It can be said that every gold coin used by the nobles is covered with The blood and tears of the innocent.
Even his father, the Baron Jonas, had actually always hoped to gain the support of a certain pirate, or establish a raiding fleet to attack dissidents, and was working towards this.
Of course, due to the short period of ennoblement, it is not easy to take care of the fief, so the baron's idea has not yet been implemented.
As for piracy or something? Then there is only hehe, no nobleman will care about it!
"This is the newly discovered open sea, which means that there are no deep-rooted forces, and it is still a blank sheet of paper. How can the Marquis Louis take away all the interests on the sea..."
Leylin sneered. In the future, he will need a lot of resources and gold coins to buy high-level magic materials or build mage towers. How can he give up the benefits of the sea
Moreover, he is not a person who just takes a beating and doesn't fight back.
The marquis's 'gift', he will definitely repay it back in the future, but it's just the Balti Islands who have mastered an armed sea caravan and several pirate regiments, is it very powerful
If it wasn't for the fear of Faolan Island and the families above, Leylin's guerrilla warfare alone could cause the other party to suffer.
"After the establishment of the pirate group, my cousin can also get a shelter. After all, in a place like the sea where fish and dragons are mixed, the eyes of the gods will not pay too much attention. The occasional sacrifice ceremony can also be kept secret to the greatest extent..."
Whether Isabelle could understand Leylin's painstaking efforts was another matter. Anyway, Leylin was sure that as long as it was his request, that cousin would not refuse.
"Ooo~~~~"
The waves kept beating against the hull, causing slight fluctuations. Not far away, there were a few seagull-like birds flying high and singing distant songs.
"It's not far from Faolan Island, and it's a short-term voyage, so there should be no problem..."
Leylin leaned on the railing, looking at the deep ocean below—the ocean is never such a peaceful place, tsunamis, storms, and even many deep-sea species may destroy an entire fleet in an instant.
Therefore, for those sailors in the open sea, their every day seems to be dancing on the tip of a knife, and they may return to the embrace of death at any time.
"Among the gods, there seem to be several gods who have mastered the priesthood related to the ocean, such as the Goddess of Storms that Steve believes in!"
Leylin's expression turned serious.
That Steve still had a bit of priest ability. Although he could only cast the lowest level of magic, it was enough to alert Leylin.
Fortunately, the Goddess of Storms is a notoriously moody god. She often sets off huge storms and tsunamis, destroying many sea ships and fishing boats in order to gain faith—the power of faith born of fear!
Therefore, it is very likely that this Steve made an exception and lowered the divine spell because he made the Storm Goddess very happy in a certain sacrifice or prayer.
Otherwise, Leylin looked left and right, but he couldn't connect Steve with the pastor.
However, even if this was the case, it would be a very big trouble. No matter how bastard this Steve was, he still had the level of a priest, and Leylin would not dare to kill him easily.
If he was alone outside, he could silence the other party, as long as the news didn't leak out, he could say anything.
But this time there were so many people, and there were so many captives and even escapees, it was impossible to deny that Steve fell into his hands. If the other party died at this time, there would be some troubles.
Leylin didn't want to attract the attention of any Church of True God, let alone hostility.
"It's a pity, the opponent is a tenth-level fighter, and has a priest level..."
A blood-colored light emerged from Leylin's hand, and the devil's dagger flowed between his fingers, rippling with a dangerous brilliance, and quickly subsided again.
Now, although he can transform spiritual energy by devouring flesh and blood and promote the mage's breakthrough, it is not without requirements.
Before the energy of the previous devouring is completely digested, he cannot carry out the next devouring, and the surge in power is also a huge test for the mage's ability to manipulate.
If a first-level mage is instantly promoted to legend, he will first be destroyed because he can't control the violent magic power in his body. Fortunately, Leylin has a great advantage in this respect, and his body has already reached the level of a demigod. Level, the manipulation of energy is even more subtle to the extreme - there are always similarities between spells and witchcraft, not to mention the current level of mages, transformed into only about one or two levels of wizards.
With all these scruples, Steve was able to survive until now, otherwise, Leylin would have turned him into a pile of dead bones long ago.
The current Leylin is also very picky about his requirements for flesh and blood. Only elite professionals or powerful monsters can meet his pursuit of life energy. As for those miscellaneous fish pirates? Leylin didn't like it at all, even if he devoured it all, he might not be as good as Steve alone, let alone the mixed energy.
"The energy level of this world seems to be very restricted..."
Leylin glanced at his stats. Since he didn't use the Devil's Blood Dagger this time, his stats remained the same as before without any changes.
"The adult's standard is 1 point, and there are 10 points and 20 points, which seem to be a threshold!"
For this kind of data, Leylin had a deeper understanding.
It is not easy for ordinary people to break through the threshold of 1 point in various data and become a professional, let alone master more powerful power later.
And 10 points is also a huge threshold in the data, and Leylin's current highest data spirit is only 7 points.
According to his estimation, it is only possible to break through this threshold after being promoted to the tenth level of mage.
"A mage above level ten can be considered a master in the world of the gods. Is this the boundary? Only when a certain data breaks through 10 points can he be a real master..."
Leylin had a premonition that it might be very difficult to increase attributes in this world, and it would become more and more difficult at the end. When the spiritual value reached 10, especially after being promoted to [Grand Mage], I am afraid that even the devil's blood dagger can bring The increase and benefit of the will become extremely small.
"A harsh world, limited extraordinary power, even the gods have to submit to the rules of the world..."
Leylin's eyes were full of fire and eagerness.
At this time, cheers came from other places: "Here! I saw the lighthouse at the port!"
Leylin looked up and saw a yellow light in the sea mist, which represented the warmth of Faolan Port, and Leylin couldn't help showing a smile.
