Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

On the docks of Chakel Island, Donahue and the other two were waiting for Odysseus in a place that wouldn't get in the way.

They had finally found someone willing to help them and were all quite happy, quietly guessing whether this captain could defeat the "Deep Blue" pirate gang.

Just then, they noticed a ship heading straight for a pier not far away, and they witnessed the entire process of the ship crashing into it.

Immediately, someone went to check on the ship's condition. Donahue and the others also peered over, eager to see what was happening.

However, waiting for Odysseus was more important, so they stood their ground and did not move.

Donahue and the others saw eight disheveled people appear on the deck of the ship. After rescuing them, someone boarded the ship, but the first group of people who went up only took one look and turned their heads to vomit into the sea.

"It's all corpses!" After spitting a few times, someone finally shouted to the people below the boat, "It's all corpses up here! The corpses of the 'Red Lion' pirate gang members!"

The dock suddenly became chaotic, with everyone chiming in with their own questions, and they grabbed the eight disheveled people sitting on the dock, asking them what was going on.

Soon, someone learned the truth from the survivors and shouted, "'Red Lion' Tyler is dead! He was killed by a pirate gang no one has ever seen before!"

Everyone was in an uproar again. Donahue inquired with the people watching the excitement around him and learned that "Red Lion" was actually a "Great Pirate," and this pirate gang was also very strong, said to have more than three hundred people.

At this moment, someone else shouted, "Storms above! If you're not blind, look at the pattern on the sails."

Donahue also noticed the pattern. The main part of the pattern was an open eye, behind which was an upright sword, and behind the sword was a hexagram.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the flag on the "Argo." The flag above had light behind the eye, and the flag below was a combination of the eye, sword, and hexagram!

The dock suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Everyone saw the pattern on the sails, and since their eyes were not blind, they also saw the "Argo" docked at another pier, as well as the flag on that ship.

After seeing the "Argo," three of the eight people rescued from the ship immediately fainted from fright, and four people were shaking so badly that they couldn't stand.

There was also one person who started crying and laughing; he had gone mad.

Who killed Tyler? Who wiped out the "Red Lion" pirate gang?

There was no need to ask anymore.

Donahue breathed a sigh of relief, certain that the captain of the "Argo" had the strength to drive away the "Deep Blue" pirate gang.

…

On the other side of the dock, the wine-nosed drunkard, who had just had several molars knocked out by Odysseus, was stunned by the scene before him, and suddenly felt sober.

That fair-skinned young man with a leather bag around his waist really seriously injured… no, wiped out the "Red Lion" pirate gang!

The next second, he turned abruptly and stumbled toward the passenger terminal.

He knew very well that he had offended that young man in the bar just now, and he might not be able to live to see the sun tomorrow.

He had to escape quickly!

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and soon began running towards the roads inside the city.

The passenger ship would not leave until tomorrow. It would be very dangerous for him to wait at the dock before then.

It would be better to hide in the village first, and then quietly return tomorrow morning before the ship sails.

…

In a bar not far from the dock.

Odysseus slowly finished the last mouthful of wine, then coldly glanced at the surprised drinkers and stepped out of the bar.

Creak~

The moment the bar door closed, the drinkers immediately began to discuss enthusiastically.

It was hard to imagine that this was actually true!

This young man really killed Tyler!

A new "Great Pirate" has arrived on this sea!

…

Odysseus quickly arrived at the dock. The people watching the excitement had just begun to discuss it, and when they saw Odysseus, the dock fell into an eerie silence again.

Seeing that the ship that was about to fall apart was "docked" in the harbor, Odysseus smiled and waved to Donahue and the other two, signaling them to follow.

Many people looked at Odysseus with fear in their eyes, while others were full of enthusiasm and admiration. Together, they watched Odysseus come to the "Argo." He suddenly jumped and landed on the deck of the ship.

At this time, First Mate Rupert ordered the "Extraordinary Puppets" to lower the gangway so that Donahue and the others could board the ship.

Immediately, the "Argo" weighed anchor and set sail.

At this time, everyone began to actively discuss again, all speculating about how strong this young man was.

Then, they heard the entire process of the attack from the ears of those few survivors, and the more they listened, the more confused they became.

A violent explosion that could blow up a large pirate ship? Cannons that could fire continuously?

In the end, they concluded that these survivors must have been frightened and foolish to say such strange things.

…

On the "Argo."

After boarding the ship, Odysseus ordered, "Go to Dillinus Island!"

When the "Argo" left the port, Odysseus ordered again, "Full speed ahead! Head to Dillinus overnight!"

Then, he let the two trainees stand guard in the cockpit and let the other three trainees take care of Donahue and the others, saying that they were taking care of Donahue and the others, but in fact, they were monitoring them.

However, it wasn't really necessary. After boarding the ship, Donahue and the others didn't dare to make any extra moves, because they found that the crew members who looked like they were wearing masks below the boat were actually puppets!

There were only a few living people on the ship. Fear and anxiety filled the hearts of these three people. They obediently did whatever the three navigator trainees told them to do.

Odysseus called Iliza and Rupert to the conference room for a meeting.

Basel did not board the ship immediately.

Odysseus gave him two days off and would come back to pick him up after he received the navy's bounty.

In the conference room, Odysseus also told Rupert about his plan to build a base on Cruz Island.

Rupert was very happy to hear this: "I will definitely build a big house at the base at that time, and do nothing when I'm resting there, just lie in an easy chair and bask in the sun."

Odysseus smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't be so leisurely then."

Then, he explained that before building the base, they must first defeat the "Deep Blue" pirate gang.

Rupert didn't feel too much pressure about this. After seeing the strength of the "Argo," it was difficult to feel any pressure when dealing with enemies at the "Great Pirate" level.

"It's not enough to just have a few of us," Odysseus said, "The battle to seize islands from pirates is more complicated, and we need to recruit more crew members."

Iliza smiled and said, "It's good that you're not underestimating the enemy."

Then he said seriously, "The battle with the 'Red Lion' pirate gang was only so easy to win because it was on a battlefield that was favorable to us, and because we used new weapons.

"But it's different if we compete with pirates for islands. They are not gentlemen, and they have no chivalry.

"They are likely to carry out night attacks, and they are likely to land in places we can't see. With only one ship, it's difficult to intercept them on the sea."

Although this old navigator rarely participated in battles, he knew pirates very well.

Odysseus nodded and then said, "We need at least three more helpers to help us organize the locals, and carry out tasks such as guarding, ambushing, and blocking."

The island was too big, and with only three extraordinary people and a sea ship, it was impossible to defend.

"So, I plan to go to Dillinus Island to recruit adventurers," Odysseus said with a smile:

"If they perform well in the battle with the 'Deep Blue' pirate gang, they will stay. If they don't perform well, then… then kill them."

Odysseus originally planned to "hypnotize" them, let them forget the encounter on Cruz Island, and then send them back to Dillinus Island.

But he thought that he was currently a pirate, and he couldn't worry so much about his style of doing things.

However, people who Odysseus didn't like were basically notorious, so killing them was no big deal.

Iliza and Rupert didn't feel anything uncomfortable about this. It wasn't that they also felt that they should be closer to pirates, but that this sea was originally so dangerous.

After briefly discussing the plans for the next few days, Odysseus and Rupert confirmed the time for taking turns on duty and went back to rest first.

After sailing all night, as the first ray of sunlight just shone on Dillinus Island, the "Argo" entered the port.

However, it did not enter the island's large port, but entered the small port on the back of the island.

After all, this was an island on the main sea route, and navy ships often patrolled the surrounding area. Pirate ships did not dare to stop openly in the large port.

However, the main islands on the main shipping lanes were generally not small in area, and they also had a large population. The locals were naturally unwilling to drive away those gold-spending pirates.

So, in some relatively hidden bays, ports were built specifically to receive pirates.

Just after entering the port, Odysseus heard someone shout, "Look! That's the 'Argo'!"

This surprised everyone on the ship. It stands to reason that the news of defeating the "Red Lion" pirate gang should not have reached this island yet.

After disembarking, Odysseus inquired and learned that it was several merchant ships that had almost been robbed by the "Red Lion" pirate gang that had docked on Dillinus Island yesterday and spread the news of the "Argo" defeating the "Red Lion" pirate gang.

This made Odys very happy, because it meant that he would easily recruit new crew members.

However, Odys did not recruit people in the small pirate harbor, because most of the people here were pirates.

Although Odys was also a pirate, he still hoped to recruit a few adventurers.

After letting Rupert watch the ship, Odys used the "Travel Ring" to appear in the large port, where he first found a place to have breakfast.

The local specialty breakfast was a thin multigrain pancake, which could be rolled with eggs, beef, and onions, and tasted a bit like the egg pancake that Odys remembered.

However, he personally felt that in the morning, the combination of beef and onions was far less delicious than the combination of shredded potatoes and tiger-skin green peppers.

After trying the local breakfast, Odys entered a bar that was deserted at this time.

The bartender, Kyle, who was yawning again and again, lazily asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"A glass of the local specialty beer," Odys said, sitting at the bar.

"4 pence," said the bartender, Kyle.

Odys gave 8 pence: "Where should I go to recruit some powerful crew members?"

Kyle put away the money and tip, and while pouring wine for Odys, he said: "You can try your luck at the 'Adventurers' Home'. Captains often go there to recruit crew members. I heard that many powerful adventurers and pirates live there."

"However, the 'Adventurers' Home' is about two or three kilometers away from here. You'd better find a rental carriage."

"Thank you," Odys took his beer, which was a relatively light malt beer.

He drank his beer and asked, "What's the news recently?"

The bartender, Kyle, was no longer sleepy after getting the tip just now. He said: "The 'Red Lion' pirate group has been wiped out. It is said that it was done by a ship flying the 'Dawn of Elements' flag."

Odys nodded: "I already know about this."

At the same time, he thought to himself: There are advantages and disadvantages to hanging the "Dawn of Elements" flag. The advantage is that it can make opponents have a certain vigilance, and the disadvantage is that everyone first remembers the "Dawn of Elements" flag, and his own flag may not be remembered.

Kyle added: "But you may not know the details."

He smiled and said: "Yesterday, the first mate of the 'Lidice' was drinking here, and he told the whole process of the 'Red Lion' pirate group being wiped out."

Odys smiled and said: "Tell me about it."

"That ship came to punish Taylor!" The bartender, Kyle, said confidently: "The 'Mysterious Queen' must have used some magical ritual to summon that ship from the underworld."

"It is said that the crew on that ship are all the souls of people who were cruelly killed by Taylor."

"Moreover, the weapons on that ship are not things that exist in the human world. It is said that one shot blew up the flagship of the 'Red Lion' pirate group."

"In addition, that ship also has cannons that can fire continuous fireballs and continuous ice, and what they fire are flames and severe cold from the underworld."

"In the end, the evil Taylor was frightened by the weapons from the underworld and was easily cut open his carotid artery."

"That vengeful 'Argo' quickly left and disappeared into the sea."

Odys opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that the sailors of those merchant ships had already made up such a story for themselves.

He then asked: "Why did the 'Mysterious Queen' do this? If she had a feud with the 'Red Lion' pirate group, wouldn't it be enough for her to destroy the pirate group herself?"

"Such big shots on the sea are very busy!" The bartender, Kyle, said firmly: "And the sea is so vast, where would there be so much time to find 'Red Lion' Taylor?

"Summoning Taylor's enemies from the underworld can easily find Taylor and destroy him, achieving the goal."

"As for why the 'Mysterious Queen' wants to do this? Of course, it is because she wants to maintain justice on this sea!"

Odys understood that "Dawn of Elements," which had never caused massacres on the sea and also liked to rob pirates and warships, generally existed in the minds of people as a positive image.

At the same time, he realized that the level of lying by people on the sea was very high, and there was no way to "poke it and break it."

Thinking of this, Odys took a sip of wine and asked the bartender, "What do you think? Is what the first mate of the 'Lidice' said true?"

Kyle said very talkatively: "Part of it is true, right? For example, I think that may really be a ship from the underworld, otherwise how could it spray ice.

"But there must also be false things, such as the fact that one shot blew up the flagship of the 'Red Lion', which is obviously bragging."

Odys laughed and then drank the beer in the glass: "One shot blew up the flagship of the 'Red Lion', that's not bragging."

The bartender Kyle was stunned: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Odys said, "Because I was there at the time."

After speaking, he quickly left the bar.

Kyle was stunned: "You were also there?"

But no one answered his question. Soon, another bartender, Paul, came to change shifts. As soon as he came in, Paul didn't have time to change his clothes and said: "I just got a new message!"

He said: "The 'Argo' is docked in the nearby town of Dorol!"

"Storms above, that ship from the underworld?" The bartender Kyle asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Paul said: "Someone saw the captain of that ship board the dock. He looked very young and had a leather bag around his waist."

Kyle's heart was suddenly filled with surprise: Young... with a leather bag around his waist, isn't that the guest just now? He... he was really there!

......

Bayam, Rosted Naval Headquarters.

A high-level meeting about the Violent Sea was quietly held here. These naval officers first discussed the recent situation of the Fersack Empire Navy, and then discussed how to deal with the "Pirate Conference" that was being planned.

Finally, a naval staff officer reported some important information on the Violent Sea. The first item was: "According to reliable sources, the 'Red Lion' pirate group was wiped out by a ship named 'Argo', and Taylor himself was throat-slitted."

A commodore in his thirties with a slightly long face sneered: "Another 'Great Pirate' has appeared?"

Another naval colonel asked: "Are you going to let him replace Taylor's bounty?"

"Our suggestion is not to issue a bounty for him for the time being." The staff officer said: "Although he is flying the 'Dawn of Elements' flag, he has not shown enough malice at this time.

"And Basel Ryan seems to be working for him, so we can observe him for a while."

The more powerful the pirates on the sea, the higher the bounty. Generally speaking, pirates of the same level, the more vicious ones have higher bounties. Those who only rob merchant ships but do not actively create bloodshed have relatively lower bounties.

Of course, this is only for most pirates. Those who are powerful enough to be at the level of "Pirate General" will have a very high bounty even if they do nothing.

For example, the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" is mostly looking for treasure, but her bounty is still as high as 26,000 pounds.

The staff officer paused and said: "According to eyewitness descriptions at the scene, a weapon similar to a machine gun appeared on the 'Argo'.

"Everyone must be careful when encountering this ship."

Machine guns are still a conceptual weapon and are currently in the research and development stage.

As for the relevant descriptions of the "Spirit Wave Cannon," the staff officers directly regarded them as false information and did not announce them at this meeting.

Soon a naval captain guessed: "That must be some kind of extraordinary weapon!"

The generals nodded one after another, all with similar guesses.

......

Derry Nius Port, Turich Street.

Odys got off the carriage and glanced at the sign in front of him.

"Adventurers' Home" is a hotel that looks pretty good. Two well-dressed doormen stood in front of the door. Seeing Odys walking towards the hotel, one of the doormen quickly greeted him: "Sir, this way, please."

Odys nodded with a smile and entered the hotel with the doorman.

The hotel manager immediately greeted him: "Sir, are you here for accommodation?"

It was only a little after eight in the morning, and it was unlikely that he was here for a meal at this time.

Odys said bluntly: "I heard that I can recruit crew members here?"

"Yes, sir." The manager said with a smile: "Many adventurers choose to stay at this hotel, and some of them also hope to cooperate with others to start an adventure on the sea together."

Odys nodded with a smile, thinking to himself: This manager is a bit skilled. He said "joining the ranks of pirates" in such a grand way that it was a bit like pursuing poetry and the distance.

The manager politely invited Odys to sit on the sofa in the lobby, and asked the waiter to bring tea, before saying: "Our hotel also has this kind of service.

"If you just want to recruit people here, please pay a fee of 3 Soles. You can find and talk to whoever you want to recruit yourself.

"Of course, you can also choose other two services. One is that you pay a fee of 1 pound, and I will invite all customers who want to cooperate to come, and you can talk to them yourself.

"There is also one where you pay a fee of 10 pounds and say what your requirements are for recruiting people, and we will help you screen them first and provide corresponding information and resumes."

Odys said generously: "I will pay 10 pounds."

Odys, who worked in intelligence, was very clear about the difference between the 1 pound and 10 pound services.

As for the 3 Sole service option, he did not consider it directly, because his time was limited and he did not have so much time to observe and choose here.

Taking out his wallet, Odys immediately paid 10 pounds in cash.

The manager immediately invited Audis to a meeting room: "Sir, may I ask which ship you are from? Are you the captain or the first mate?"

"'Argo', Captain," Audis replied simply.

The manager was visibly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your 'resume' will make it easy for you to recruit crew members. I think all the customers living here will want to join the 'Argo'."

Audis smiled and nodded slowly, his first impression of the manager improving. He didn't ask idiotic questions like "Did you wipe out the 'Red Lion' pirate gang?" nor did he make any evaluations, but simply stated the facts.

This approach was very wise and more professional.

After inquiring about Audis's requirements, the manager brought over Earl Grey tea, as well as fruit and pastries, and then went to organize the information according to Audis's requests.

Audis's requirements for the manager were: Beyonders, with no bad records.

More than twenty minutes later, the manager returned to the meeting room: "Based on your selection, we have found five candidates for you. Would you like to meet them all together or one by one?"

Audis said, "Meet them separately."

"Let me briefly introduce these individuals first," the manager said. "Mr. Boris Caesar is very good at fighting. He once hunted down a pirate with a bounty of 1,100 pounds and was once a well-known adventurer in the Olavi Island waters.

"But he always likes to be offensive, and because he offended a certain 'Great Pirate', he had to flee to Dili Newes Island."

Audis nodded, thinking: Judging from his strength and style, he is likely to be a 'Provoker'.

The manager continued, "Mr. Bevis Bean is a sharpshooter and resembles a traveling scholar, not an adventurer.

"He has said more than once that he would like to see the eastern part of the Sunia Sea.

"His requirements for an employer are to understand mystical knowledge, be gentle and refined, and not like to swear."

Audis smiled: If this guy's brain isn't broken, he should be Sequence 7, otherwise it would be impossible for him to make demands of the captain.

"Mr. Cleveland Gale is also very good at fighting," the manager continued. "He is usually taciturn, but he is a good person. He rarely refuses when people ask for his help.

"If he sees someone being bullied, he will sometimes take the initiative to help.

"Ms. Salina Kelly is very good at fighting and is straightforward, but she has a relatively irritable temper. Recently, she was scammed and is short on money.

"Miss Noi Vera's skills are average, and she is very good at using a revolver, but she prefers to give people fortunes rather than fight, and the fortune-telling results are quite accurate."

Audis said, "In the order you mentioned, please ask them to come in."

"Okay," said the manager.

He turned to invite Boris Caesar in. He was a man in his thirties with a beard.

As soon as this guy entered the door, he complained, "We're not going to work in a factory, why is it like an interview?"

He looked at Audis and asked, "Is it your ship that needs people?"

Audis thought to himself that this guy's 'Provoker' potion should be digesting well. His question just now looked like a normal question, but the coordination of his expression and body movements made him look very punchable.

It's just that he doesn't seem to be very good at controlling his abilities and doesn't know how to restrain himself.

Audis pointed to the chair opposite him: "Please sit down."

Boris didn't sit down, but asked, "I'd like to know, if I join your pirate gang, what can I get?"

Audis smiled and said, "I happen to have the main ingredient for a 'Pyromaniac' potion here."

Boris took a deep breath and immediately sat down opposite Audis: "Can I join your pirate gang?"

"Let me think about it," Audis said. "Please ask the next gentleman to come in."

He didn't really want this guy to join the pirate gang, or rather, he didn't like having a guy around who would make him angry at any time.

Boris quickly said, "I can make traps and I am very good at fighting. Don't worry, as long as I join the pirate gang, my ability to annoy people will only be used on enemies."

Audis thought to himself: You are quite adaptable.

But he still said, "Please ask the next gentleman to come in."

Boris sighed with some disappointment: "Okay, okay."

This wasn't the first time his 'Provocation' ability had backfired.

Soon a young man in his late twenties, wearing a suit, came in. He really looked like an interviewee: "Hello."

Audis nodded: "Hello, please sit down."

Bevis Bean said, "I heard from the manager that your ship needs an assistant?"

"Yes," Audis said. "I want to state in advance that I am the captain of a pirate ship."

"Your wording is the most appropriate I have ever seen among all pirates," Bevis said with a smile. "You should have heard my requirements."

Audis smiled: "Well, I think I can barely be considered an expert in mysticism."

"Then, let's discuss a question," Bevis said. "Why is 'divination' not a special case for diviners? Why do Beyonders with high spirituality 'divine'?"

Audis raised his eyebrows. The fact that the other party could ask this question showed that he did have some research in mysticism: "That's because of the connection between the spirit world and spirituality.

"In the spirit world, there is no concept of time. The past, present, and future can all be found there.

"The process of 'divination' is the process of Beyonders using spirituality to search for some information about the future in the spirit world.

"So as long as the spirituality is high, they can establish sufficient contact with the spirit world, and they can find enough clues from the spirit world to complete the divination."

Bevis said very satisfied: "Your answer is great!"

"In addition, I also know why the 'Diviner's' divination is more accurate than other pathways," Audis said. "This pathway, after reaching 'High Sequence', has certain authority in the spirit world, which makes them more affinity with the spirit world even in the 'Low Sequence', so the results of divination are more accurate."

Bevis opened his mouth: "This... This is information I didn't know."

Audis spread his hands: "Mysticism is a very profound subject."

Bevis took a deep breath: "Please let me join your pirate gang."

Audis stood up, and Bevis also quickly stood up. The two shook hands, and Audis said, "You will be the third mate on the 'Argo'."

Bevis smiled: "It seems I'm lucky to be able to be the third mate as soon as I get on the ship."

Audis smiled: "Go back and pack your things and wait for me in the hall."

He had already guessed that this should be Sequence 7 "Appraiser" of the "Knowledge Seeker" pathway. The other party also had abilities similar to "Eye of Secrets", but the "vision" enhancement direction of the two pathway Beyonders was different.

Next, Audis met Cleveland Gale. This guy was more than 1.9 meters tall and dressed very plainly. Thinking of the information provided by the manager earlier, Audis guessed that this should be Sequence 8 "Fighter" of the "Warrior" pathway.

After communicating for a while, Audis felt that the other party was a loyal and reliable person. It was not easy for such a person to survive to Sequence 8 in the Rabid Sea, so Audis decided to make him the combat captain and asked him to pack his luggage and prepare to set off.

The fourth person was Salina Kelly. She looked about twenty-five or six years old, with the dark skin of the local Rossed Archipelago people. She looked okay, but her voice was a bit loud.

She wasn't as bad-tempered as the manager said and took the initiative to introduce her specialties: diving, fighting.

Audis's impression of her was not bad, and this was the "Sailor" pathway Beyonder he had always dreamed of, so Audis asked the last question: "Can you obey my orders at any time and place?"

He was afraid that the "Sailor's" anger would rise and she would not listen to his commands.

"I will obey orders in combat," Salina said. "But, don't think about hitting on me. With your little body, I'll be on top of you in bed too.

"If you have any ideas in that regard, you're just inviting shame on yourself."

Audis smiled: "You don't have to worry about that."

Salina was stunned for a moment: "Why do you say that? I feel insulted?"

Audis laughed: "My ship is still missing a Boatswain. I think you are very suitable for that position."

Salina's eyes lit up: "That's great. I've always wanted to be a Boatswain..."

She rubbed her hands and hesitated before saying again: "Uh, before that, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Tell me," Audis said.

"Help me settle the room and meal expenses here... Uh, I'll pay you back later," Salina said, her eyes a little evasive.

Audis readily said: "No problem.

"Okay, you can go pack your things. We'll meet in the hotel lobby."

Afterwards, Audis called the manager over: "I will only recruit three crew members this time. The three just now are all very suitable. There is no need to keep the fifth person waiting.

"I apologize for wasting their time. Here are two bottles of herbal powder. Please help me pass them on to the other two.

Those were two bottles of Dragon Tooth Grass powder, not very expensive, but widely used in various mystical rituals. Audis also carried two small bottles with him.

If the essential oil runs out, the Dragon Tooth Grass powder can be mixed with water and used to draw magic circles.

"You are a very thoughtful gentleman," the manager praised.

Over the years, there have been very few employers, or pirate captains, as thoughtful as Audis.

Audis smiled and said nothing.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a woman wearing glasses, in her twenties, but dressed very formally and maturely, came in: "Hello, I'd like to take the initiative to introduce myself."

The manager introduced, "This is Miss Noe Vera…"

He was about to tell Noe that this captain didn't need any more crew, but Noe spoke first: "I know, I just 'divined' a little, and it seems I won't have the chance to meet this Captain today."

Audis smiled and asked, "Then why did you take the initiative to come in?"

He thought to himself: She's good at designing divinations! Divinations related to oneself generally yield more accurate results.

"It's precisely because I 'divined' that result that I came in," Noe said. "Because I also 'divined' before that this recruitment is very important to me, so I still hope I can strive for it."

Audis asked, "Are you very confident in your divination results? Won't you have any doubts?"

"Of course," Noe replied, stunned for a moment. She paused and added, "But one can't be superstitious, because I've found that the final outcome of things can develop in the direction I expect through my efforts."

Audis asked again, "Are you an Intis citizen?"

"No," Noe found this question increasingly strange. "I'm a Loen citizen, from the Rin Winter County."

Audis pressed, "May I ask where you obtained the potion formula?"

Noe hesitated for a moment before answering, "I found it in my father's遗物."

Audis continued to ask, "Then, if I'm not mistaken, your surname should be Antigonus?"

Noe opened her mouth in surprise, but quickly forced herself to calm down: "Can I not answer this question?"

"I understand," Audis said. "If you want to come on my ship, you can only be an ordinary crew member."

Noe breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem."

"Go pack your luggage," Audis said.

In that case, only Boris was unsuccessful. There was no other way, because he obviously couldn't control his 'Provocation' ability.

Noe's problem, at best, was that she didn't understand the true meaning of a 'Diviner,' but she was good at using her abilities.

And Boris, obviously, was always swayed by his abilities. Relatively speaking, his problem was bigger.

Audis settled Selena's room and meal expenses with the manager and was about to leave with the four crew members when the 'Provoker' Boris quickly caught up and said, "Sir, please let me join your team."

Audis said, "As you can see, I've already recruited four crew members, which is more than I expected."

"I don't have to share the spoils with everyone," Boris said. "I'll always be at the front in every battle."

Audis shook his head: "You haven't grasped the point."

Boris pondered for a moment and immediately said, "I will control my abilities and try not to use them on you and the crew."

Audis looked at the other party, then smiled at the manager: "You're quite accurate in your selection of people."

These five people were all to Audis' liking.

The manager smiled: "This is what we should do."

But Audis still ignored Boris and took the other four crew members to a restaurant for a meal, announcing in a private room that there would be a fierce battle soon, and they still had a chance to withdraw if they wanted to.

If they decided to join his pirate group, it wouldn't be so easy to withdraw.

At this point, of course, no one would withdraw.

During lunchtime, everyone introduced themselves in more detail, including their pathways and sequences.

As Audis guessed, Bivis was Sequence 7 'Appraiser,' Cleveland was Sequence 8 'Brawler,' Selena was Sequence 9 'Sailor,' and Noe was Sequence 9 'Diviner.'

After lunch, Audis and the others found that Boris was still waiting outside.

Audis still ignored him, but beckoned for a rental carriage, and the group took the carriage to the Roll Town harbor not far away.

Boris followed all the way behind. When they got off the carriage, Audis glanced at Boris before beckoning to him: "Seeing how persistent you are, get on the ship, but you're not an official crew member yet."

"Okay, okay," Boris smiled. "You are the most magnanimous captain I have ever met."
