The Steady Mage in the Pirate World

Originally, Kong Ming chose to solidify and awaken the auxiliary spell instead of an offensive spell just for the sake of long-term future development. However, after the spell solidification was completed and Kong Ming was successfully upgraded to a second-level arcanist, he actually discovered that Something happened that surprised him very much.

Originally, the awakening spell was to distort time, allowing the mage to restore his mental power and magic power in a false passage of time. For example, when a mage uses Awakening, he can replenish all his exhausted mental energy and mana in just one minute.

But this skill cannot be used much, because when the mage uses awakening, his opponent may see that only one minute has passed, and even his own feeling is that only one minute has passed, but in fact in the distorted time, the mage Several hours or more may have passed. If the last shock in the time stream has not passed yet, and the mage continues to use awakening, it will cause great danger.

But with the addition of his own spell talent, energy control, awakening, a skill that could only be used once or twice a day, turned into a permanent passive skill.

Mana Awakening: Passive skill, the recovery rate of your mental power and mana is 750% of normal.

Kong Ming practiced it easily and raised his hand to grab a fireball from the air. Then the next moment, Kong Ming felt that the mental power and mana he had consumed began to be replenished automatically without meditating. The replenishment speed is very gratifying. Kong Ming calculated that basically the consumption of a fireball only takes five minutes, and it can be replenished automatically in three minutes.

This is only the case for a second-level arcanist. If Kong Ming advances to a fifth-level arcanist in the future, the mental energy and mana consumed by a fireball with normal power may have been fully recovered.

What is going on? Could it be that his time flow has been traveling at such a fast pace? Kong Ming meditated again to confirm, and found nothing unusual. It seemed that this time the permanent passive awakening, the time flow only acted on his own In terms of the recovery of mana and mental power, he did not make any changes to his body.

Although this conclusion is neither scientific nor magical, after confirming that permanent awakening will not cause any harm to himself, Kong Ming feels that his safety in this world has increased a lot.

This discovery put Kong Ming in a very good mood today. Of course, in order to let other people experience the joy in his heart, he specially assigned twice as much homework to Ace Saab and the other five little guys. They can reach their goal of becoming scientists earlier. By the way, he also rejected the request from that bastard Arrita for pocket money, lest the bastard eat snacks all day long and eat his body completely out of shape.

That's right, it's because of the above reasons that it has nothing to do with why Kong Ming discovered that the six bottles of meditation potion missing from his cabinet when he advanced had nothing to do with it.

Alas, Kong Ming felt that he really put all his efforts into making the people around him grow up happily.

At this moment, Garp, a senior funny naval hero, actually appeared again with his dog-headed battleship.

"What, you are going back to the Grand Line now?" Kong Ming looked surprised. "I remember not saying before that you have to stay here in the East China Sea until you capture the Creek Pirates before going back."

"I thought so too." Garp seemed to vent his anger and ate the donuts Kong Ming had prepared for him. "But Marshal Kong actually said that I deliberately indulged the Creek Pirates and was living in the East China Sea in good name. I’m on vacation, so I gave a special order to give up the mission of capturing the Creek Pirates and go directly back to the Grand Line.”

"I will go back when I go back, but they actually said that I indulged the Creek Pirates." Lieutenant General Garp drank a large glass of sake. "Do you think I am the kind of person who will indulge the pirates?"

"This" Kong Ming looked at Lieutenant General Garp sympathetically, "I believe you did not deliberately indulge."

Yes, Kong Ming can definitely vouch for Lieutenant General Garp on this matter. Garp will never indulge the Creek Pirates. In fact, in the past seven or eight months, Lieutenant General Garp has followed the Creek Pirates around the East China Sea for more than ten times, and he has been absolutely diligent and unswerving.

There are definitely more than a dozen laps, just a few more. Kong Ming personally counted them for Lieutenant General Garp.

Therefore, it is really shameful for the Navy to describe a dedicated naval hero, Lieutenant General Garp, as a bastard who deliberately indulges pirates.

The world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.

"Who says it's not the case?" Garp depressedly turned his grief and anger into appetite, "Oh, someone must have said bad things about me in front of Marshal Kong. Maybe it was the Warring States Period that did it."

"Um," Kong Ming asked weakly, "Did Marshal General of the Warring States Period often say bad things about you in Marshal Kong?"

"It's not that often." Garp threw a donut into his mouth, "It's only two or three times a month at most."

It is not called "frequent" at most two or three times a month. I would like to ask Lieutenant General Karp if you have any misunderstanding about the word "frequent".

I report you two or three times a month, but your relationship is so good. This is really scary when you think about it.

"Lieutenant General Garp, what kind of bad things have the Warring States General said about you to Marshal Kong?"

"That's a lot," Garp said as he started eating. "There are so many things that are passive and slow down, things that affect work, things that bring bad atmosphere, and things that evade responsibilities. I can't even think of them for a while." stand up."

Kong Ming blinked his eyes, silently took off his glasses and wiped them.

Lieutenant General Karp, are you sure that the things you said above are bad things said about you?

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't these be called honest evaluations?

Of course, in fact, Lieutenant General Garp himself did not pay attention to the so-called bad things said by Warring States, which shows that he is actually very confident in his heart. Now he has just met a good person who is willing to teach his children to learn culture for free. It’s just a couple of complaints. In fact, Kong Ming feels that Garp doesn’t care about those so-called bad words at all.

Otherwise, how could the honest and negative reviews above remain the same even after more than ten years?

"Then if Lieutenant General Garp returns to the Grand Line, who will take over for you to come to the East China Sea to track down the Creek Pirates?" Kong Ming pretended to be unintentional and asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time, "It's Black Baron Robert's." Directly reporting to your superior, Lieutenant General Akainu Sakaski?"

"It's impossible for Sakaski to come to the East China Sea." Garp shook his head with contempt in his eyes, "Lieutenant General Sakaski's target is not these insignificant little pirates. His eyes have always been on the big pirates in the New World. Staring."

"Isn't Lieutenant General Sakaski coming?" Kong Ming asked doubtfully, "I heard that the Black Baron is not Lieutenant General Sakaski's right-hand man. Doesn't Lieutenant General Sakaski value him very much?"

"You don't understand." Garp actually sneered in a rare voice, "For Lieutenant General Sakaski, Robert was his valued subordinate when he was alive, but if he died in the battle against the pirates, that would be the end of the world. But it shows that his ability is just that.”

"This attitude" Kong Ming pretended to be a melon-eater and shook his head, "it's a bit harsh."

"You think it's harsh?" Garp threw another donut into his mouth, "but there are a lot of people in the World Government who appreciate his style."

"Then what is the navy going to do about Robert's matter?" Kong Ming asked another question that he was very concerned about, "Does it mean that it just ignores the Creek Pirates?"

"That's all we can do for the time being," Garp said nonchalantly, "and now many people in the Navy Headquarters are wondering whether Robert's death was caused by someone from the Creek Pirates."

"There is also such a theory." Kong Ming picked up the wine glass diligently and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Garp. "I heard that the captain of the Creek Pirates admitted this matter himself in Tatuka Port. Could it be that he Are you talking nonsense?”

"That's the problem. The Creek Pirates admitted it themselves." Garp picked up the wine glass and drank it down. "So no matter what, we have to catch them first, but these guys are really too powerful." Now that I was able to hide, I chased them around the East China Sea several times, but I didn’t even run into them once.”

You are so humble, not a few laps, but a dozen laps

"And Robert is too imprudent in what he does." Capone smashed the empty wine glass in his hand on the table. "After I couldn't find the Creek Pirates, I planned to investigate whether Robert had any enemies. But in the end, After an investigation, I found out that this guy is simply an enemy everywhere. From the royal family of the Kingdom of Goa to the nobles of the Kingdom of Goa, there are at least a dozen or twenty families who have the motive to kill him. By the way, Kong Ming, you have one too. Motive for killing him”

"I also have the motive to kill him." Kong Ming's face showed confusion, "How is it possible? I don't even know him."

"A few months ago, he led his men to rob a shipment of your goods, and also captured one of your men."

"Ah" Kong Ming made a very surprised expression, "Isn't that thing done by the Sapphire Pirates? I went to Tatuka Port to ask the red beard of the Pirate Council, and he told me that the thing was The Sapphire Pirates did it, and my people also found the lost ship and cargo at the Sapphire Pirates’ station.”

Kong Ming tilted his head and made a gesture of serious consideration, then continued, "By the way, Ace was found by one of my men at the Sapphire Pirates' station at that time. The poor kid was actually very poor. When those poor pirates are not around, go to the pirate group’s station to steal food.”

"Ahem," Lieutenant General Garp coughed twice in embarrassment, "That is actually an exercise for him. Boys just need to exercise more."

After stabbing Lieutenant General Garp and indirectly bringing out a witness to prove his innocence, Kong Ming continued, "I thought this matter was over, but now you tell me that my cargo was actually It was the Black Baron who robbed it. Isn't he a navy? Why did he rob my goods? And why did he give the goods and the ship to the Sapphire Pirates after they finished robbing them?"

"I don't know about this." Garp simply spread his hands. "I just found out that he may have robbed your ship, but why did he rob your ship and why did he rob it and put it in the sapphire sea?" Among the thieves, I am afraid that only the dead brother Robert and the dead Blue Jem can know."

"It's my fault." Kong Ming poured another glass of wine for Garpman. "When my men went to capture Blue Jem of the Sapphire Pirates, they thought that Blue Jem was very powerful because his bounty was quite high." He was strong, so he showed no mercy, and accidentally killed the person. Otherwise, if I hand the person over to Lieutenant General Garp now, I might be able to find out the truth."

"I'll beat you to death. What's the point of asking for the truth?" Caprizo picked up the wine glass. "About Robert's robbery of your ship, I didn't report it to the headquarters at all. As a just navy, I actually went to rob it." A legitimate businessman, if you say this kind of thing, it will only embarrass the navy."

"Then I won't be regarded as the murderer of Robert," Kong Ming asked as if joking.

"It's just a shipment of goods. What's your grudge?" Lieutenant General Garp raised the cup and took a sip. "In terms of motives, the nobles and royal families in the Kingdom of Goa who embezzled Robert's family's property have greater motives than you. "

"That's good." Kong Ming made a reassuring look.

Their motives must be greater than mine, otherwise why would I spend time setting up the Kingdom of Goa and let Black Cat Crow donate a lot of the Robert family's property to other nobles in various ways?
