The Steady Mage in the Pirate World

"You don't know how terrifying Devil Fruit users are, especially Animal Fruit users. Remember the Animal Fruit user I told you named Kaido? Even if he jumps directly from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, None of them will be hurt." Kong Ming replied with a serious face, "I have very good reasons to suspect that Batar is deliberately pretending to be unconscious from anesthesia, and intends to take advantage of our negligence to kill us. "

Just as Kong Ming was explaining to Arrita, it could be seen from the video that the fifth team had rushed to the observation room next to the trap and threw four lightning grenades into the trap through the lookout. When the lightning grenades landed on the anesthetized pirates at the bottom of the trap, with the sound of beeping, four grenades exploded almost at the same time, and a blue arc flashed rapidly on the bodies of these pirates.

"I discovered that Batal is really pretending." Kong Ming pointed to Batal's hand in the image, "You see, although the expression on his face is pretending to be similar, his hands still betrayed him. You can see where his hand is trembling slightly, which is obviously accumulating strength, just waiting for him to strike out after we appear.

Arrita looked at Batar who was twitching at the bottom of the trap, and she always felt that something was wrong.

"Continue, don't stop." Kong Ming adjusted his glasses and flashed a cold light, "Four in five seconds, throw the base number first."

"One base number is too many," Arrita said hesitantly, "Boss, that's 120. Even if it's a lightning grenade specially used to capture enemies alive, if so many are dropped, those pirates will be shocked. dead."

"There is no way, in order to be safe, some sacrifices are necessary," Kong Ming replied decisively, "But what you said makes sense, so for the sake of safety, first put forty lightning grenades, and then hook up the rest of the pirates. Throw away the remaining eighty.”

Snapped

Bang, four more lightning grenades hit the ground, exploding into a burst of lightning.

"Look, what a tenacious person, what a strong fighting spirit." Kong Ming's face showed admiration, "From the beginning to the end, never ask for mercy, never give up, and fight to the end whenever there is a glimmer of hope. I exploded so much After so many rounds, he can still keep pretending. As far as endurance is concerned, I would like to call you Buffalo Batal the strongest."

Arrita looked at Batal, who had already rolled her eyes and was weak from twitching as his whole body was electrified, and finally realized that she thought something was wrong with him.

"Boss, have you discovered something?"

"What's up"

"The two horns on Batar's head seem to have fallen off."

Snapped

"Boss, look, it really fell."

"What do you mean the horns on your head are glued on?" After getting this somewhat unconventional answer, even someone as steady as Kong Ming felt like he was having a mental breakdown, "You are such a good person, why do you want to put it on yourself? You put horns on your head to pretend to be an orc, what are you trying to do?"

"Actually, it's just to scare people." Batal, who was wearing handcuffs, shackles, and even a shackle on both shoulders, just wrapped in iron chains to make a rice dumpling, now looked a little honest, "Including these things on me The same goes for cow hair.”

In fact, this matter is very simple to say. As a rare smart man among pirates, Batal learned through some of his own channels that there is something called Devil Fruit in the world, which can be possessed by those who eat it. The power of the devil is so terrifying that most people tremble with fear when hearing this devil fruit ability.

And the key thing is that it is still very rare. Not to mention ordinary people, even a well-informed person like Batar, who has been floating in the East China Sea for so many years, has never really seen a devil fruit. So, he came up with such a good idea to pretend to be a devil fruit user.

However, impersonation must also be scientific. There is definitely no way to impersonate the natural type. The superhuman type is easy. But the problem is that Batal himself has no idea what the superhuman type is and how to fake it. So Batal thinks about it. It was easiest to pretend to be an animal, so he found two horns and stuck them on his head, and then got some cow hair and stuck them on his body.

Ok, a devil fruit, and the ability user in the form of a bull appeared.

Since adding this disguise, Batal found that many things he encountered immediately became easier. When robbing, all he had to do was show his horns and shout, "I am a Devil Fruit user." Those who were able to resist were immediately routed. When meeting other pirates, as long as you flash your horns, the other pirate will immediately bow his head and say, "Hello, Boss Batar."

"That's not all." Batal puffed up his chest and said proudly, "Since the news spread that I was a Devil Fruit user, my bounty immediately increased from 400 million Baileys to 1000 million Baileys. I also became a Big pirate”

"Be steady, your mentality cannot collapse, you must be steady, Zhuge will only be steady throughout his life."

After a few minutes of psychological counseling, Kong Ming successfully calmed himself down again. To be honest, Kong Ming felt that whether he was watching the anime or in the past few years after traveling to this world, he could not understand the admiration of these pirates for the bounty amount.

No matter how much you brag about it, the bounty amount cannot be turned into bank deposits. To be precise, the increase in that thing can only prove that your head is becoming more and more valuable. And money is a universal thing, whether on earth or here. The increase in your bounty actually means that in the eyes of others, such as your crew, they are watching you walking around with a pile of money on your shoulders.

As a pirate captain, after the bounty is raised, shouldn't the first thing you think of is that if some crazy poor crew member kills you in the middle of the night and takes your head ashore, won't he become a rich man? ?

If you think about it this way, it seems that there is really no difference between the reward amount and the bank deposit. It's just that you can withdraw the money yourself with the passbook, and the other can only be withdrawn by someone else with the passbook on your shoulder, and It's still a time deposit, the kind that you definitely won't be able to withdraw until you die.

No, wait, why did I want to arrest him in the first place?

Kong Ming, who was successfully led astray by Batal's confession, finally thought of his own business. I wanted to study the difference between Devil Fruit users and ordinary people. I wanted to analyze the effects of Devil Fruit through magic research. The process of transforming the human body, but the fake and shoddy product in front of me cannot help me with this subject at all. Therefore, it took me several months to finally get this experimental mouse. Is this a transformation? Has he become a field mouse?

I'm so angry, I really want to kill him to get the reward.

But the navy is offering a bounty to Batal, a person with the ability of the Cow Fruit. It's not the Batal who stuck a horn on his head. Even if he kills him, I'm afraid he won't be able to take his head to the Navy. I can't get a penny out of it. The navy can definitely tell the difference between people with abilities and ordinary people.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get. What should I do if I still want to kill him even if I can't get the reward?

Forget it, let's deal with it the old way. Kong Ming decided to let this embarrassing thing pass quietly. Of these pirates who were caught, the ones who were dead were left alone. The ones who were still alive but seriously injured were simply humanely destroyed. The remaining ones who were long enough to not affect the appearance of the city were directly taken to Shuangyue Village to plant herbs, like Batal. All the people with this kind of stuff are taken to the mines to mine, and the remaining ones who are active and lively but have average abilities are sent to their own laboratories to serve as experimental mice.

Yes, just do it like this. Kong Ming felt that he couldn't think about it anymore. He was afraid that if he continued to think about it, he would just give Batal a ride. Although this guy is the kind of guy who commits all kinds of crimes by burning, killing, looting, and he will not be unjust if he dies, after all, this guy has no grudges against me in the past and has no grudges in the recent past. The reason why he came to rob me was because he fished here specially. If you kill me like this

My own black mine is in need of a good labor force.

Kong Ming took off his glasses, rubbed his eyebrows with his hands, stood up, walked to the corner and washed his hands in an almost pious manner, then walked back and sat down, opened the drawer, and took out a box of incense sticks and a Use the exquisite small incense burner to light the incense with skillful movements. Place the incense burner on your right hand, relax your body, lean on the sofa in a comfortable posture, relax your mind, and let your attention gradually focus on deep in his mind, attached to a flickering point of light.

The next moment, Kong Ming seemed to have traveled through time and space, appearing in front of an old and dilapidated stone tower. The shape of this stone tower was somewhat similar to the shape of the mage tower he built himself, but it was smaller than the mage tower built by Kong Ming himself. It is older, taller, and more majestic, and the auras of countless magic circles are shining around the stone tower.

At the bottom of the stone tower is a floating island covering an area of ​​dozens of square kilometers. There are also some scattered but more dilapidated buildings on the floating island. The entire floating island and stone tower seemed to be floating alone in the endless space. Countless twisted lights surrounded the stone tower and floating island, just like a storm on the sea.

Kong Ming seemed to have been here many times and was completely blind to the shocking scenes around him. After appearing here, he walked to the door of the stone tower without hesitation, stretched out his hand and pressed it on a stone next to the door of the stone tower. . Following his movements, the originally closed tower door also opened.

Kong Ming took his hand down and walked in without hesitation.

"Welcome back, Lord Guardian." The person who spoke was wearing a long red and black coat. There was also a violet eye badge on the outside of the coat. His hair was combed back in an old-fashioned way, and every strand of hair was neatly styled. Qi, a ghost with a serious face. In the hand of this ghost, he also held a candlestick with three candles, which gave off a faint light.

"You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Moros." Faced with this ghost, Kong Ming did not dare to neglect at all, and returned the gift seriously, "I want to go to the library, please send me there."

"Okay, Lord Guardian." Moros nodded seriously, and then with a whoosh, Kong Ming walked directly from the door of the stone tower to the library inside the stone tower.

This is an extremely spectacular library. The interior of the hall, which covers an area of ​​several hundred square meters, is filled with huge bookshelves, layer by layer, full of furnishings. In the center of the library, there is a spiraling stone staircase with countless Stone bookshelves are distributed on the surrounding walls. Even if you raise your head to the point where your hat will fall off, you can't see the top of the library.

Yes, this magical mage tower is the mage tower of Medivh, the guardian of Azeroth, Karazhan. And Kong Ming himself became the apprentice of the astral mage Medivh without even knowing it. , the new guardian of Karazhan.
