Lord of Secrets

On the third day.

Another crew member died.

Maritz finally disposed of the other's body in a hidden way as he had done before.

…

On the fourth day.

Another person died.

The crew on the ship gradually began to panic.

They doubted Maritz's statement, but because they recognized Maritz, they still accepted it.

…

"How do you think Dixie and the others died?"

A bald crew member said in the cabin.

The Dixie he mentioned was one of the five people who died in the Dragon Breath Sea.

"Didn't they die of heatstroke?"

Another crew member immediately answered.

At the same time, the others also dealt with it.

The bald crew member shook his head, his face showing a trace of solemnity, and said: "I suspect they were killed by unknown monsters."

"How is it possible?"

The other crew members sneered.

Suddenly, the bald crew member took out a piece of paper with the words "Monsters, they are monsters" written crookedly on it.

Everyone seemed to be able to feel the panic from the distorted handwriting.

Then, he explained:

"I should have written this hastily after they died. I suspect that I saw the monster at that time, but I don't know why I forgot it."

After a pause, the bald crew member said in a low voice:

"It seems that our memory has been tampered with."

As soon as this was said, the other crew members felt incredible.

At this time, he said again:

"We didn't feel the high temperature in the Dragon Breath Sea before, how did they die of heatstroke?"

"This..."

"And five people died at once?"

The crew seemed a little shaken.

The bald crew member gave another heavy hammer:

"Do you think this world is so simple?

"We have heard many legends on the sea, such as people with special abilities, and even strange monsters.

"But we all just treat it as a joke. Monsters may exist, but how can people with special abilities have them?"

The bald crew member glanced at the closed door, pointed to a vine in the room, and said in a low voice:

"But, have you noticed that the ship seems to have been severely damaged, and it was repaired again, and the repairs were made with vines.

"Obviously, there were no vines when we boarded the ship."

At this time, everyone suddenly realized this.

-Wake up instantly!

It seems that their minds are being controlled.

The bald crew member frowned and said:

"I didn't pay attention to it at first, but the note, plus the strange deaths of others... Do you believe that so many people died accidentally?"

The bald head swept to everyone.

Everyone shook their heads and looked at each other. The reason why accidents are accidents is that they are low-probability events.

"And why are they conducting such strict inspections?

"Why don't they let us leave the fixed area?"

There was silence in the room.

A few seconds later, the bald man murmured:

"-Maybe the legend of the dead land is true, and the land of disaster is also true, so they died strangely. Moreover, the Dragon Breath Sea is also hot...but we don't feel it at all, and we are isolated..."

The bald man took a deep breath and said:

"They are all people with special abilities, who can resist monsters...They are afraid that we know, so we are isolated...and they have tampered with our cognition."

All the crew members fell into deep fear.

Someone pulled his hair and gritted his teeth and said: "I knew that there were not so many so-called legends on this sea, and there was even a pirate king..."

"I wouldn't have boarded the ship if I had known."

"Damn bastard, I thought I could get a lot of gold coins by following Mariz...I might as well be a pirate..."

Everyone complained angrily in a low voice.

At this time, the bald man stretched out his hand, signaled everyone to stop, and then said: "We can't get off the ship now, but we must ensure our own safety."

Looking around, the bald man said:

"I think the abilities of these people are definitely not too exaggerated, otherwise they would have pulled the king off the throne long ago.

"They should be similar to those legendary wizards, and they are also afraid of guns and cannons."

"But we don't have guns and cannons..."

One of the crew members spoke up and was suddenly stunned.

-They are afraid of guns and cannons, so they forbid us to carry them.

Instantly, this idea emerged in his mind.

Others also woke up.

The bald man chuckled, licked the corner of his mouth and said: "But we used to be pirates, and we also have knives. "

Then, the bald man's expression instantly changed, and he said seriously: "Only we know this matter, and if we can master the same ability as them..."

The ambitions of the four crew members were immediately aroused.

Then, they began to plan.

...

Mibiye Island.

On the fourth day, they finally arrived at the island.

Originally, at their speed, they could arrive in more than a day, but the disaster land has another characteristic - getting lost.

Here, you will get lost unknowingly.

Stars and other instruments will be disturbed.

If you get close to the core area of ​​the disaster land, I am afraid that even Etro and Mariz will find it difficult to find the correct route.

...

"Qiluo and I will go to Mibiye Island to look for the red leader spider together. We can look after each other and you can prevent accidents on the ship." As one of the purposes of this trip, Lunfuqin was the first to speak.

Qiluo just glanced at the other party calmly.

Maliz pondered for a moment and then nodded. Although he was the captain, his power was not too great. These people all boarded the ship with their own purposes.

At this time, Etro said:

"I'll go too, otherwise I'll get lost and it will be even more troublesome."

Malizzi felt justified.

Qiluo and Lunfuqin did not refuse.

Telarim took one look at the rich dark green of Mibiye Island and gave up the idea of ​​entering.

Because he doesn't like this forest.

…

"We don't know the specific situation outside, so the best time is when the next one dies." The bald head looked solemn and looked up at the others.

The next person to die...

No one wants it to be them, but this cannot be changed.

However, the future that the bald head painted for these people was very exciting, and the growing ambition instantly overcame the fear of death.

not to mention.

Maybe someone else died?

After all, he shouldn't be so unlucky.

…

A few hours later.

Lun Fuqin and others are back, but their clothes are somewhat damaged, so the battle must have been fierce.

"I almost told you that I was there, and I would trip over it even if I walked." Lunfuqin was lying on the deck and complained, "If I hadn't bought a bottle of recovery potion from Telarim, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back. ”

After hearing this, Terarim remained silent.

The potions he sold were only the weakest ones. Even though he didn't know whether he would become an enemy, he still didn't reveal all his secrets directly.

Even if it can be sold for money.

At this time, Lamoye's eyes shone, looking at the black fruit in Etro's hand, and asked: "What is this? It looks delicious?"

Before Etro could answer, Telarim spoke up: "Snake Cave Fruit, a fruit that grows in snake caves, has a slightly bitter taste and can detoxify some less toxic poisons."

"Can you give me a taste?"

Lamoye scratched his head and asked.

Etro was slightly startled, this was not something delicious, but he still nodded. Anyway, he picked up a lot of fruits.

…

Day five.

Once again, someone dies.

At this time, Lamoye, who was a little bored, also followed, and then brought Terarim with him.

…

When the bald man saw Qiluo and Atro, his eyes flickered, and he immediately said, "Ms. Qiluo and Mr. Atro, I found him dead when I woke up."

Qiluo ignored the other party and then began to check.

Etro listened meaningfully as the bald man reported the detailed situation.

At this time, from the corner of his eye, the bald man suddenly saw Terarim and the tall Lamoye walking in. He hesitated for a moment, but immediately looked away.

Terarim just glanced briefly, and then scanned the entire room. There were several short knives on the table, and wooden carvings were scattered on the ground.

After more than ten seconds, the bald man finished his report, then lowered his head and said:

"Gentlemen, we are leaving first."

Etro nodded, until the bald man and others were about to leave the cabin, and suddenly said: "Put the dagger away, it's easy to get into trouble if you're not careful."

The bald man paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I understand, sir."

After the crew members walked away, Qiluo said:

"A flying insect entered his brain and bit it. He made no sound when he died and there was no pain on his face. This insect should have the ability to be paralyzed."

After a pause, she said:

"This flying insect should be left on Mibiye Island."

Suddenly, at this time, the bald man knocked on the door.

"Come in." Qiluo said immediately.

The bald man walked in, followed by a crew member. He quickly said: "Ms. Qiluo, he was accidentally bitten by an insect just now, and he felt poisoned."

Qiluo raised his eyes and glanced at the crew member, then said to Etro: "Just give him a snake hole fruit."

Etro nodded, he thought so too, and then asked the two of them to go back to the other crew members' rooms, while he went to get the snake hole fruit.

"I'm going to deal with the bugs."

At this time, Telarim spoke.

Qiluo glanced at him slightly and did not refuse.

…

January 6th.

It's Carlia's birthday.

On the "Black Prince", Carlia had a trace of melancholy on her face. Every time at this time, her father, Duke Isa, would hold a grand birthday party for her.

But now, she can't go home.

On this birthday, she was the only one.

And none of those hypocritical men.

Maybe there are a bunch of birthday gifts at home, from Lancoun, Dejialan, or Ubermore...

I wonder if the serious Duke Isa will be furious after hearing my news... Gallia thought about this and smiled heartlessly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Galleria put away her thoughts and opened the door.
