We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea? - Chapter 155

Chapter 155 [The Society of Truth] appears, and the [Black Swan] disappears!

 “Captain Shane, please stay.”

Hearing this, Xia En turned around and saw a man with a unique temperament walking towards him.

He has dark gray hair and an unremarkable appearance, as if he would be quickly overwhelmed if thrown into the crowd. The only memory point is the teardrop mole under his right eye.

However, just such an ordinary-looking man gave Xia En a strong warning sign for no reason.

My heartbeat is racing, my hair is standing on end, and I even have the urge to run away on the spot.

 This is a human reaction that occurs when facing a stronger person.

Xia En felt awe-struck, but on the surface he remained calm and asked: “…Who is your Excellency?”

The gray-haired man chuckled and said: “I have many names, but the one I like better is-“

 “The one who changes a lot, Ash.”

Hearing this name, Xia En’s heart instantly stirred up huge waves.

Ash smiled lightly and said, “Didn’t I already say it? I’m just an ordinary [Thousand-Changeer].”

 “Mr. Captain!”

If Ash is really related to the [Truth Society], no one knows what will happen when he sees Joey now.

Xia En frowned slightly.

 “Who are you, Your Excellency?”

“Have you ever seen a coffin made of special crystal?”

 How did Ash know that he was related to the [Ember Treasure]?

  Is it because of [Salary King’s Certificate]?

Hidden inspectors like [Thousand Changers] are used to prevent the Inspectorate and the Archon from collaborating. To put it simply… they are agents!

Xia En looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and he was more convinced that he was telling the truth.

 The most important thing is…

 As for the forces that fit the latter category, as far as Xia En knows, there is only one—

But the strange thing is that the gray-haired man who was by his side just now disappeared without knowing it, as if he had never appeared.

  But compared to the Vampire Clan, the [Truth Society] is more mysterious and powerful, like an invisible big hand, controlling the evolution and process of history.

According to legend, the [Thousand-Changer] can change into countless faces, and can perfectly replicate the abilities, talents, and personalities of others.

 No one knows the true appearance of the Thousand Changers.

“Speaking.”

With this ability, he has been lurking on several islands for several years, either uncovering the deepest secrets of those islands, stealing precious treasures, or overthrowing the rule of the archons on the islands.

  If the first question about the [Ember Treasure] can be explained by the [Significant King’s Certificate], then the second question gave him a strong foreboding feeling.

 Obviously, this [Thousand Changer] Ashiu is here for him!

“Everyone is ready, when will we set off?”

The Thousand Changers can easily ask these questions, either because he has the secret ability to pry into memories, or because he has a connection with both.

Xia En’s eyes narrowed, his tone was no longer as calm as before, and he asked.

 Even someone like him, who didn’t know much about the famous people on the Seven Seas, had heard of this name before.

 After all, there is no benefit in pretending to be a [Thousand Changer].

At this moment, Joey’s voice came from the deck of the [Black Swan].

 【Thousand Changes】is the 【Inspector】officially appointed by the federal government!

In addition to the personal power of the consuls on each island, the federation will also set up an “Inspection Bureau” for checks, balances and supervision. However, no matter how well the rules are formulated, if they are not supervised, sooner or later they will deteriorate.

Ashus seemed to have known the answer to this question for a long time. There was no surprise on his face and he continued to ask: “The second question…”

As if he could see what Xia En was thinking, Ash said lightly: “I have nothing to do with those vampires that exude the rotten smell. I came here just to confirm some things.”

“First question, have you come into contact with or obtained [Ember Treasure]?”

Xia En replied calmly: “There have been some contacts.”

 Xia En’s heart skipped a beat.

 The mysterious [Truth Society]!

 And the [Thousand Changers] are official members of the Federation… It is not difficult to guess that, similar to the situation of the Vampires, the Federation also has the infiltration of the [Truth Society].

 Xia En suddenly turned his head and looked at Ash.

So the question is, why did [Thousand Changers] appear in [Chaotic Islands] and find me?

 Is it for the high reward?

 Is it the revenge of the vampires?

 Or, do other high-level officials in the federation want to get in touch with themselves?

Even if he appeared in front of Xia En, the face at this time might just be a fake one.

 Before Xia En could answer, Ash asked the third question.

There are many people in the Seven Seas who know about the [Ember Treasure], but whether it is the crystal coffin where the ghost lady is, or Joey’s life experience, it should be a secret that only he knows.

 At this time, Xia En’s vigilance had reached its extreme.

not good!

“How much do you know about the origin of the crew member called the ‘White-haired Banshee’?”

Now, what is displayed in front of Xia En is only the tip of the huge iceberg on the sea.

Hearing this question, Xia En’s heart skipped a beat.

 “Captain, who are you talking to?”

Fei Ya seemed to have noticed something. She came to Xia En from the deck and looked doubtfully at the location where Ash was just now.

Shaan frowned and asked, “Didn’t you see that man?”

“man?”

Fei Ya said uncertainly: “There seemed to be a figure next to you just now, but whether it was a man or a woman, and what his appearance was, I have no idea.”

“Wait, was there really a second person here just now?”

His words sounded a little inconsistent, but they made Xia En feel horrified.

Because, recalling it carefully, the impression of [Thousand Changers] in his mind was quickly becoming blurred and faded, and even…he no longer remembered the other person’s name!

Xia En made a prompt decision, took out a pen and paper from the space ring, and recorded the information he still remembered.

  【You met a man who calls himself “The Thousand Changers”. 】

　　　His hair is dark gray and there is a mole in the corner of his eye. 】

  【He asked you about the “Ember Treasure” and Joey, which seems to be related to “…”

As his expression became more solemn, Xia En’s writing gradually paused.

What is it related to?

 Why did the other party ask about [Ember Treasure] and Joey?

 What are the specific questions asked?

 He no longer remembers.

 But a strong and ominous premonition hung over Xia En’s heart like a dark cloud.

Although he didn’t know where this feeling came from, this intuition had saved his life several times.

Without hesitation, Xia En took Fei Ya back to the deck of the Black Swan and gave the order.

 “We set sail and go to sea, now!”

 “And, full speed ahead!”

All the crew members were a little confused, but their unconditional trust in the captain made them obey the order immediately.

 “Yes, Captain!”

 …

 …

 It didn’t take long.

After a loud whistle blew, the [Black Swan] set off from the port of the Chaos Islands and continued to move towards the cold waters of the north.

Soon, an ordinary pirate ship quietly left the port behind it.

Since this pirate ship is not well-known and its hull is even smaller than the Black Swan, not to mention Xia En, even the other pirates on the Sin Islands did not pay much attention to it.

 Just, on this ship.

A graceful woman with gray hair was looking at the [Black Swan] in front of her with great interest, showing a meaningful smile.

“Living ship, holy blood species, ember treasure…” “Captain Shane, you really gave me a lot of surprises. You must have a bigger secret.”

“However, the more this is the case, the less likely you are to continue exploring.”

The gray-haired woman murmured to herself: “Everything is exactly the choice of [Truth]…”

 The strange thing is that all the pirates on this ship seem not to have seen this woman.

Not long after, the small pirate ship followed the [Black Swan] away from the Chaos Islands and came to the open and vast sea.

 “It’s almost time.”

Just when [Thousand Changer] was about to take action, the shadow behind her suddenly twisted and squirmed, and a man with seaweed-like black hair and strange tattoos carved on his face came out.

 It is Mr. Heller, one of the seven stewards of the Sin Islands, who had had contact with Shane.

Heller looked at the gray-haired woman and asked calmly: “[Thousand Changers] Ash? Perhaps, I should call you…the madman who chases [Truth], [Truth No. 107—Gray Mask]?”

 Axiu did not expect Heller’s arrival, but after hearing these words, she couldn’t help laughing mockingly.

“You [Insect of the Nether Sect] dare to call me crazy? The truly crazy ones are obviously your followers who want to drag the whole world into the deep sea.”

Heller didn’t speak, just looked at each other silently.

There were strange tentacles quietly growing out of the shadows under his feet and behind him.

Seeing this, the smile on Ash’s face faded little by little, and he asked unexpectedly: “You want to be my enemy? Why?”

 Although due to their beliefs, the [Truth Society] and the [Youshu Sect] have never dealt with each other very well, neither side wanted to provoke the other, so there was no real enmity.

 That’s why Heller’s behavior seemed particularly abnormal at this moment.

“because of him?”

Ash looked thoughtfully at the [Black Swan] not far away, with ripples in his heart.

 Even the [Netherworld Sect] has noticed Xia En’s extraordinaryness?

 But their attitude seems to be more protective?

 Why is this?

 “It seems that a fight must be fought.”

Before Ash could finish her words, a strange shadow enveloped her and Heller’s bodies.

 The next moment, the world in front of you was spinning.

 The two of them appeared together on an uninhabited island.

 Soon, an extremely fierce battle broke out between them.

 The terrifying secret power and fluctuations quickly spread to the entire island, causing violent vibrations on the island. The ground continued to crack, and trees fell down like wheat.

Finally, half an hour later, with a loud noise, the unfortunate island collapsed and sank into the sea.

 …

 …

 No one knows about this battle on the sea.

Xia En is controlling the [Black Swan] heading north at full speed.

For some reason, most of the ominous premonition that had previously enveloped my heart quietly dissipated.

Shaan doesn’t think there is such a coincidence in the world.

 He turned back to look at the Chaosi Islands that were getting further and further away in his field of vision, and thought in his mind.

“The source of this sense of crisis is probably this [Thousand-Changeer].”

“And [Ember Treasure] and Joey are involved at the same time, could it be…the [Truth Society]?!”

After losing part of his memory, Shane still surmised this with the only information.

“So, the person who helped me stop him…was Mr. Heller?”

This speculation is not unreasonable. After all, the only powerful person that Xia En knows in the Luosi Islands is Heller from the “Netherworld Sect”.

Coupled with the goodwill he released previously, this is really the only possibility.

 “If it’s really him, I owe you a big favor now.”

Xia En sighed softly in his heart.

 At the same time, the slight complacency he had previously felt due to breaking through the third level had also disappeared.

 Instead, there is a strong sense of urgency.

Xia En realized that as his exposure to secrets increased and his reputation spread, whether he thought about it or not, there would be existences with different purposes like the [Secret Sect] and the [Truth Society] coming to him.

 If you want to maintain yourself in this situation and protect yourself and the safety of your crew, you can only continue to improve your strength!

The case of “Coral City” “King” is still clearly before Xia En’s eyes.

 The “King” is responsible for the fate of the entire kingdom, and as the captain, every decision he makes will also determine the survival of the entire ship!

Suddenly, Joey looked at the sea in front of him and shouted in surprise.

“Mr. Captain, there is a whirlpool right in front of the ship!”

“…Um?”

Shaan immediately looked forward.

On the blue sea surface, the water was constantly rotating and surging, forming a vortex with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and strong suction was constantly coming, pulling the [Black Swan] into it.

 This situation is undoubtedly extremely dangerous for ordinary ships.

  But with the current performance of [Black Swan], it can easily break out of this vortex with just one acceleration sprint.

only…

Xia En looked at the center of the vortex.

The sea water there is particularly deep and deep, and exudes an indescribable sense of intimacy.

 It’s like, it’s calling itself?

With the help of the profession of [Deep Sea Beloved], it is not difficult for Xia En to guess that this whirlpool is probably the work of [The Deep Sea Sect].

“Is this a back-up method left by Heller? Does it mean that…even he doesn’t have the confidence to stop [Thousand Changers] for how long?”

 After a brief thought, Xia En decided to act according to his intuition.

Not only did he not escape from the vortex, he drove the [Black Swan] towards the center of the vortex!

Such an abnormal behavior also attracted the attention of several nearby pirate ships.

“Damn it, is the captain of that ship crazy? He actually rushed towards the center of the whirlpool?”

 “Wait a minute…that ship is the [Black Swan]!”

 “Is this whirlpool a killing move aimed at him!?”

』

 Soon, it disappeared.

“[Black Swan] sank like this? This, this is too…”

 “Isn’t that much bounty wasted in vain?”

In the next few days, rumors began to spread on the Rebellion Islands that “[Black Swan] has sunk”.

But the strange thing is that when the pirate ships came to the calm sea and wanted to salvage the sunken ship, no one could find it.

Over time, the “disappeared [Black Swan]” has become one of the strange and curious legends among pirates.

 …

 …

 Set the time back to when the [Black Swan] was swallowed by the whirlpool.

 After a violent turbulence and turbulence.

Xia En opened his eyes again and saw a sea area with floating ice floes and filled with sea fog.
