"There are no boats to Big Nose Island anymore?" Faced with Leo's inquiry, the person from the sailboat rental company on the pier said helplessly.

Leo turned his head and looked out the window at the row of small sailboats made according to the standard on the pier, and then looked at the people at the rental company.

This person naturally knew what Leo was thinking, and quickly explained: "Big Nose Island is in the outer waters. Even if you use a steamer, it will take a long time, and you need to go through a reef to get there. Not someone who is familiar with this sea area.

, there is a risk of running aground when using a small sailboat..."

"It's okay, the reef poses no threat to me." Leo interrupted the man's explanation and said.

"In this case, sir, I need you to sign a disclaimer to avoid unnecessary disputes due to any accidents." Seeing that Leo did not give up on renting the sailboat, the man added another sentence, and thought that Leo would

He should probably leave, after all, no one with any sense would do such a thing.

However, Leo gave him an unexpected answer and nodded: "Okay."

Hearing Leo's painting, the other party couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Without any further persuasion, he took out a lease contract and liability exemption document from the document, went through the relevant procedures skillfully, and handed over the leased boat number plate.

Got Leo.

Leo quickly found the sailboat according to the instructions on the number plate and went through the handover procedures. However, after getting the sailboat, Leo was a little embarrassed because it was then that he discovered that he didn't know how to control the sailboat at all.

Just as he was standing next to the sailboat, considering whether he should go to the tavern to hire someone who could sail the boat, Old Beren's voice suddenly sounded next to him, saying, "Do you need help?"

Leo was stunned for a moment, because before Old Beren spoke, he didn't feel Old Beren's approach at all. Not only could his mental network not feel Old Beren, he couldn't even hear Old Beren's footsteps with his ears.

.

This abnormal situation made Leo couldn't help but turn his head and look at Old Beren again, but as before, Old Beren was still an ordinary person in his mental network.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Old Beren easily saw Leo's mood and understood the reason, so he still asked knowingly.

"How did you do it?" Although Leo knew that he could not find out the result, he still couldn't help but ask.

"It's just a small ability!" Old Beren smiled proudly and said: "Although we are not as good as extraordinary people like you, we ordinary people also have our own ability to survive, don't we?"

Leo ignored the other party's complacency, but rather confusedly repeated the question Old Beren had just asked, "Do you need help with anything?"

Old Beren was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why Leo would ask that, but soon he realized what Leo meant. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "How did you figure it out?"

"The method is somewhat obvious." Leo said straightforwardly.

"Hehe! I just thought of it on the spur of the moment, it's a bit rough." Old Beren smiled and said.

Leo asked in a deep voice: "Why did you come to Skull Bay?"

"As I said, my destination is the Guga Desert, and Skull Bay is just a temporary mission." Old Beren said solemnly: "As for the treasure in Skull Bay, there is no need for you to look for it, because there is none.

"

"No." Leo was stunned.

"Let's go! Let's talk on the way when we get on the boat." Old Belen jumped onto the sailboat rented by Leo and skillfully took off the reins. When he saw Leo was still on the shore, he said: "I know you

If you want something, don't worry, I'll give it to you once the matter is taken care of."

Hearing what Old Belen said, Leo didn't say anything more and jumped onto the sailboat. Then according to Old Belen's instructions, he quickly took off the reins of the sail, raised the sail, and adjusted the jib. Old Belen

Then he skillfully controlled the sailboat to pass between pairs of similar sailboats, quickly sailed out of the harbor, entered the outer waters, and drove towards Big Nose Island.

"What's going on with the Pirate King's treasure?" On the way, after Leo tied the reins of the sail, he turned to old Beren and asked.

"There was no treasure of the Pirate King from the beginning." Old Beren said with a smile.

"How is this possible?" Leo frowned and questioned.

Old Beren did not directly answer Leo's inquiry, but kept it secret and said: "Because everyone thinks it is impossible as you think, that's why they have been deceived for so many years. In fact, as long as you think about it carefully,

It will be easy to know where their treasures went."

Leo frowned slightly, and then carefully recalled all the things about the Pirate Kingdom and the five pirate kings in his mind. Because he thought about the problem with suspicion, all the things he had not thought of before soon appeared.

And it condensed into an answer, and this answer made Leo feel a little surprised, and he even felt that he had guessed wrong, so he did it again, and then confirmed that he had not guessed wrong.

"They used up all the treasure?" Leo was still a little unsure about the result of his speculation, so he confirmed it to Old Beren.

"Analyzed it so quickly?" Old Beren looked at Leo in surprise, and then nodded: "Indeed, they did spend all the treasure. Who could have imagined that so much treasure would be so short?"

It was all spent within ten years.”

After getting confirmation from Old Beren, Leo couldn't help but feel that this answer was a bit absurd, but it was true.

After the establishment of the Pirate Kingdom, various pirate ships under the Pirate Kingdom began to systematically rob ships in various places. Coupled with the battles between the two maritime powers themselves and the establishment of various privateering fleets, the foreign trade of the Moissanite Continent plummeted.

Merchant ships traveling to and from the Moissanite continent are either protected by large military fleets, or several chambers of commerce join forces to form armed merchant fleets that are inferior to those of the military of various countries.

All in all, two or three years after the establishment of the Pirate Kingdom, although the pirate fleet of the Pirate Kingdom controlled the Pearl Island Chain and the surrounding waters, there were no ships left to rob, and the pirates were used to having fun. It was absolutely impossible for them to give up robbery and become farmers.

possible.

In order to maintain the pirate kingdom, the five pirate kings had to pay out of their own pockets to compensate for the daily expenses of their pirate fleets, because they knew very well who their subordinates were.

Although they are now promoted to the status of pirate kings by their subordinates, they can attack anyone with any fleet, and can find any reason to kill the pirates under them, but once these pirates know that their pirate king can no longer give them

If they bring wealth and can no longer enjoy it, then these pirates who are so loyal that they are willing to die for the Pirate King will instantly become the reins around the Pirate King's neck and strangle their respected king to death.

At this time, the five pirate kings should also be considering the possibility of plundering across the ocean, and even considered plundering cities along the coastline of the Moissanite continent.

But the problem is that the Kingdom of Inge and the Kingdom of Sigma have realized the threat of the Pirate Kingdom. Even though they are at war with each other, they still detach a part of their fleet and wander around the Pirate Kingdom. As for the cities along the coast of the Moissan Continent, they have long been

Having been equipped with more powerful naval weapons, it is difficult for pirates to rob cities as easily as before.

At this moment, the entire Pearl Island Chain is like a huge cage, imprisoning all the pirates inside and unable to leave.

In the following years, almost all the expenses of the Pirate Kingdom came from the treasures obtained by the five pirate kings from plundering the sea. No matter how much treasures were taken over so many years and consumed by so many people, they would probably be completely consumed.

At this time, Old Beren suddenly smiled disdainfully and said, "Did you know? The reason why the Pirate Kingdom was destroyed so quickly and completely was because the pirate kings joined forces and sold their men."

Leo was not surprised by what Old Beren said. In his opinion, the five pirate kings who were no longer able to finance the huge kingdom would definitely betray their men in order to protect themselves, and they had deep feelings for those of their own.

I'm afraid his subordinates all hate him very much. After all, all the wealth they accumulated throughout their lives has been spent by these subordinates.

"The five pirate kings are not dead?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

"No." Old Beren shook his head and said: "The only one who died was their first mate. They all concealed their names and hid in the countryside arranged for them by the Kingdom of England and became gentry."

Leo turned his head and looked at Skull Island, which was gradually blurring behind him, and said: "They must still have some treasures with obvious characteristics on their hands. The Kingdom of England used these treasures to forge the pirate king's treasure.

This transformed the entire Skeleton Bay into a tourist attraction."

Old Belen couldn't help but admire him: "The guy who planned all this back then was really powerful. He built a sea paradise from scratch."

Leo asked with some confusion: "Since you are not here for the treasure, then what are you here for?"

"Have you ever heard of the Life Society?" Old Beren asked in a serious voice.

"No." Leo shook his head.

"This society is a secret organization established by the extremist society of the former Medical Association and some trouble-making guys in the dark world. Although it has not been established for a long time, it is very powerful. Even high-level officials from various countries have their members." Lao Bei

Lun suddenly said with value: "The thing on the outskirts of Miria City is probably what they dug away."

Leo frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What does the Healing Church have to do with them?"

"On the surface, there is no relationship," Old Belen said with a more serious expression: "But after our investigation, the two organizations are likely to be one and the same, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove this so far."

"Do you know what they want to do when they set up this society?" Leo asked again.

"Everyone becomes a god, that's their slogan." Old Belen said as he controlled the sailboat to avoid a floating object on the sea.

"Everyone becomes a god?" When Leo heard such a slogan, he felt that it was ridiculous without thinking too much. Let's just say whether it can be completed. Even if it can be completed, everyone will become a god, so what value does a god have?

However, such a slogan has an inexplicable attraction for some people. From the fact that the other party can steal such a large stone ball silently, it can be seen that this organization must have extraordinary people with extraordinary abilities.

"Is the Life Society planning to do something in Skull Bay?" Leo asked Old Beren again.

"I don't know," Old Belen shook his head and added: "But according to our understanding, the Three Kingdoms Exploration Organization here should be related to the Healing Church. Several senior leaders of the Healing Church are now on Little Nose Island. Those few

Among the people from the Healing Church is a man named Lawrence..."

"Blood Wizard Lawrence?" Leo interrupted.

"No, but that guy is an admirer of the blood wizard, and even changed his original name to Lawrence." Old Beren shook his head, and then said: "He has gone further than the blood wizard Lawrence. It is said that he has already

A kind of source blood has been developed that has very similar effects to the seeds of gods. According to some information collected, the Life Society may use the source blood to do some ulterior things on Little Nose Island."

"What about you? In what capacity are you investigating this matter?" Leo asked a little abruptly: "Or which force do you belong to?"

"Which force do you think I belong to?" Old Beren smiled and did not answer. Instead, he asked expectantly.

Leo thought for a moment and said: "The United Kingdom of France."

Old Beren no longer showed surprise that Leo could guess his origin, but smiled with appreciation and said: "Do you know? After knowing that I will definitely pass by the Port of Set in the Kingdom of England,

At that time, three people recommended you to me, one was the blood wizard Lawrence, one was Count de Maupassant, and the other was the Prime Minister."

"Prime Minister? Rupert Fitz?" Leo had expected the names of the blood wizard and Sylvia, but Rupert Fitz actually recommended him, which surprised him, because he

The relationship with Rupert Fitz seemed not to be good in the past, and it almost cost him his life once. Moreover, he had almost no contact with Rupert Fitz, and such a man actually recommended him to Old Belen.

It's really puzzling.

"Why did he recommend me?" Leo asked.

"I don't know." Old Beren shrugged and said.

Leo thought for a moment, opened his hand towards Old Beren, and said: "In that case, give me the reward I want. Although I may not be able to help you investigate what you want, I can guarantee you

Leave safely."

After hearing this, Old Beren smiled, then took out a notebook slightly larger than a palm from the pocket hanging on his waist, and handed it to Leo.

"What is this?" Leo frowned and said in a deep voice.

"The Tower Wizard's Magic Book you want?" Old Beren raised his hand and said.

Leo said displeased: "What I want is a magic book, not a notebook."
