Chapter 556 Dangerous Seeds
Standing on the side of the "Death Note" was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a well-fitting Ruhnn-style tailcoat, and his hair was neatly combed. Although he was not particularly handsome, his appearance gave people a very friendly feeling.
"Mr. Leicester."
Upon seeing this person, Bird Mustang's expression turned slightly cold, but he still greeted him politely.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Byrd."
The man in the tuxedo chuckled, looking nothing like a pirate, but rather like a gentleman attending a ball who had wandered into the wrong room and accidentally stumbled onto a pirate ship. However, Bird Mustang's expression turned extremely wary upon seeing him.
Because the other party was none other than Lester Seain, the first mate of the "Death Scream" and a bounty of £11000, known as "The Cruel One"!
His title alone reveals his dangerous nature. This seemingly respectable gentleman, with his kind face, has cruelly treated countless innocent people, and his infamy has spread far and wide. His favorite pastime is to first release captured passengers in a friendly manner, only to drag them back into an abyss of fear the moment they regain hope.
"Mr. Lester, please speak with the Undying King and have him stop this noise."
Bird Mustang said it again.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Lester spoke in a friendly manner, then turned and walked over to Agarito, whispering something to him. The eerily pale man finally moved, raising a finger, causing the black single-sided sail to billow, and the terrifying, curse-like laughter finally ceased.
Everyone on Bird Mustang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, our flagship needs to vent. You know it's already been quite restrained; if it were to unleash its full power, all the pirates on the island would have gone mad long ago."
Lester Sean returned to the ship's railing, bat wings sprouting from his back. He leaped down and slowly landed on Bird Mustang's ship. He first bowed politely to "The Undying King" Agarito in farewell before turning to Bird Mustang.
"Viscount Fear" Bird Mustang's lips twitched slightly, but he said nothing.
"Also, our captain thinks Black Lake Island has nice scenery and would like to take everyone there for a tour. Is that alright?"
'
Lester asked with a smile.
"What a joke! The 'Undying King' and his demon minions have a hobby of appreciating the scenery? They're treating me like an idiot..." Bird Mustang thought to himself, but he didn't show it on his face. He simply nodded and said, "Of course, please do as you please. However, for everyone's sake, I will send some men to 'protect' you all. Please understand."
Lester smiled and did not refuse.
After that, Bird Mustang directed the sailors to turn the ship around and sail back to shore, and personally guided Lester Sean to the conference area.
"Send me more men to keep a close watch on the Death Scarecrow. Wherever it goes, you all follow it."
Before leaving with his men, Bird Mustang privately told his crew, "Report anything unusual to me immediately!"
"yes!"
The sailors obeyed the order and shouted in unison.
Soon, the pirates gathered on Black Lake Island witnessed this scene: in the waters surrounding the island, the huge black sailing ship "Death Saga" was sailing slowly ahead, followed closely by three or five ships of the "Five Kings of the Seas" on its back and sides. The sailors on those ships were watching the "Death Saga" warily, afraid that they might miss any details.
Upon seeing this, the pirates on the "Death Note" either laughed and cursed or provoked and mocked. But their target was the pirates under the command of the "King of the Five Seas," and these sailors, who considered themselves to be from the most powerful pirate group, would not tolerate it and naturally chose to fight back immediately.
Soon, polite greetings in various languages and accents began to echo across the sea. The pirates' already sparse family ties received the warmest care in their friendly greetings to one another.
The bustling activity near the sea naturally attracted the attention of the entire island, and the pirates all witnessed this rare spectacle. When the pirate gathering ended and they returned to their respective territories, what they had seen that day would become the talk of the town.
However, while most people on the island were focused on that side, someone was secretly making moves.
Beneath the island, in the soil, a fleeting figure easily passed through the solid ground, stopped at a predetermined location, and then took something out and fixed it in the soil.
---
It was a peculiar doll. Its design was simple, with its eyes and mouth sealed shut with stitches, yet it looked like real human skin. A flower was stuck in its chest; the flower was half-dried, but still very red, as if it had drunk its fill of blood from a corpse.
The transparent figure that held the doll had brown skin covered with deep wrinkles, sparse white hair, and an aged appearance.
Jax, a demigod of the Rose School!
"Praise be to the mother tree..."
His eyes gleamed with fanaticism. After placing one doll, he didn't stop but continued forward, placing another equally bizarre doll under another plot of land.
The pirates on the island were all focused on the "Death Note," and no one noticed, or could hardly notice, the seeds of disaster that were brewing several meters beneath them.
The Misty Sea, on the sea surface after the war.
"It's a pity that the archbishop escaped with the level 0 sealed artifact."
Standing on the wrecked steamship, Lu Ze said with some regret.
The ship was initially protected by Bishop Pierre's abilities and was spared the scorching heat of the miniature sun.
However, Pierre was preoccupied with his own problems, and the ship was also burned down, leaving only half of it standing.
The bodies of those sailors and priests had long since turned to ashes; the only thing left was their extraordinary, indestructible nature.
The "4 Suns" pathway's Sequence 6 and lower-level traits from the same pathway, the "1 Hunter" pathway's Sequence 5... well, none of them are of much use to me. I'll just keep them. I can also sell them to [Sun], who is currently Sequence 7.
"The sun priest" must need...
As Lu Ze pondered this, he searched the charred and wrecked deck.
"Um?"
He leaned down and picked up a dagger from beside the Sequence 5 properties. The dagger retained its basic shape, but the blade was brittle beyond recognition, as if it had been dried in the sun for decades.
"Click..."
It cracked open crisply, and many strange points of light emerged from it, gradually converging together to form a black dagger, hard and heavy, with flames burning on its surface.
"An extraordinary trait has been extracted... Is this... Hunter Path Sequence 4?"
After a brief examination, Lu Ze quickly determined the nature of this thing.
