Mystery: Start with the Reader

Off the coast of Pulitzer Harbor, the sea free from industrial pollution is quiet and silent, only the crimson moon hangs high, mysterious and dreamy.

Suddenly, a gloomy and terrifying sailboat sailed on the sea not far away, fast and silent.

It was a large three-masted square-sail wide-body ship, with a very large body and a length of nearly 100 meters. Its color was mainly black, with shades of green.

Its pale mainsail depicts a black tulip in full bloom.

It was the flagship of "Admiral Hell" Ludwell, the "Black Tulip"!

I don't know where Jane hid the spirit used for reconnaissance. Abner can clearly see a man dressed as a captain standing on the bow deck through the "mirror" standing on the table.

He wears an exaggerated three-cornered hat embroidered with white skulls and feathers, a white shirt with lace and a complex and gorgeous brown short coat, and a thin sword hangs from the cowhide belt that fixes the white tights.

The man's face was covered with a silver-white mask, his facial features and contours were all hidden inside, and the cold lines around the holes that symbolized the positions of eyes, nose, and mouth made people daunting.

This image perfectly matched the image of the rumored "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell!

At this moment, the man suspected of Ludwell turned his head and looked in the direction of the "mirror" perspective, as if he had spotted Jane's peeping.

However, before he could react, some ripples suddenly appeared on the originally empty sea around him.

Those ripples rippled in the air like water, and spread out at an unimaginable speed, and then revealed the five military warships hidden behind it.

...

"The 'Water Curtain' of the 'Ocean Singer'? But the effect is too good, and even the 'Hell Admiral' has been hidden from the past... Well, there should be other abilities mixed in, at least Weakened or concealed the aura of the living, otherwise the 'Admiral of Hell' would have noticed something was wrong long ago."

Abner took a few pieces of carrot cake, cream muffins and some drinks left over from the banquet and put them on the tea table in front of the bed, and commented while taking a bite of the cake.

These are all Hazel's creations, after all the other normal desserts were basically eaten by the guests.

Xio nodded after hearing the words, silently grabbed a piece of cake, and then stared at the military flagship that was much larger than the "Black Tulip" in the picture,

With sparkles in his eyes, he said: "This is the first time I have seen an ironclad ship... It is said that its displacement exceeds 10,000 tons, and the thickness of its armor is also close to half a meter..."

Do you still understand this?

Abner looked sideways, but he didn't answer the conversation, because he really hadn't paid attention to the specific parameters of the ironclad ship, which belonged to his blind spot of knowledge.

In order to cover up, he had to pick up a muffin again and put it in his mouth.

Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace, sitting on the high-backed chair belonging to The Fool, Klein, who watched the entire scene through the crimson star symbolizing Hugh, suddenly felt a little hungry again.

...

Off the coast of Pritz Harbor, "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell saw the sudden ambush, and glanced from a distance at the head of the majestic giant ship that shone with metallic light throughout. Two groups of pale flames were in the eyeholes of the silver-white mask. It is burning quietly.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his left hand without hesitation, and a square black ring on his index finger also shimmered slightly.

In an instant, with Ludwell as the center, the illusory light burst out suddenly, and then quickly spun and collapsed inward, constructing a slightly blurred bronze door.

The surface of the bronze gate is covered with various mysterious patterns, giving it an indescribable sense of depth and death.

With a creak, the door shook and cracked a gap.

Behind the gap is the impenetrable boundless darkness, just like the deepest and deepest night sky.

Ludwell raised his hand to press his face, and took off the silver mask.

A deep, pale light suddenly burst out from behind the mask, causing the black square ring worn by Ludwell's left index finger to spread endless dead silence instantly.

The dead silence poured into the bronze door, pushing it off the deck and into the air.

The gate covered with mysterious patterns merged with endless dead silence, and rapidly swelled to a height of more than thirty meters.

It is based on the sea, standing there, as if connected to another world, different from the current world.

Since the Loen army ambushed him, they must have made sufficient preparations... Therefore, we can't rely on luck, and the best choice is to retreat decisively.

"Admiral of Hell" Ludwell thought of this, and he was about to pull the "Black Tulip" into the bronze gate and into another world.

But at this moment, a deep and majestic voice echoed on the surface of the sea:

"Roaming is prohibited here!

"Teleportation is prohibited here!

"Spirit world travel is prohibited here!"

Accompanied by this sound, the bronze door that was about to be opened suddenly and completely closed, and gradually dissipated on the sea.

Seeing this, the pale flames in the eyes of "Admiral Hell" Ludwell visibly swayed, and finally shrank to the extreme, and spit out a word:

"Law Mage!"

This level of "prohibition" can only be accomplished by a demigod.

...

"Isn't this a little bullying? Ludwell is just a pirate general, and the military actually dispatched a demigod to deal with him... Even if he wins, it would be disgraceful... The navy wants to ensure the first battle of the 'Pritz' Victory, you are really well-prepared." After sighing, Abner picked up a cup of sweet iced tea and took a sip.

"The 'prohibition' just now was made by a demigod?" Xio asked casually, while concentrating on looking at the picture in the "mirror".

"The gate of the spirit world built by Ludwell is blessed by that ring. How can an ordinary 'judge' forbid it? It must have been done by the demigod himself." Abner said here, seeing the "Black Tulip" in the picture "Unable to escape, he had to turn the ship and seize the "T" prefix to fight, adding:

"If there is no other means of concealment, 'Admiral Hell' is in danger this time!"

Above the gray fog, Klein mused to himself thoughtfully: "It turns out that Extraordinary from the 'Arbitrator' path fights in this 'painting style'...Do you want to 'ban' first?"

...

On the sea outside Pulitzer Harbor, the "Black Tulip" rushed towards the iron-clad ship, which was obviously not easy to mess with, but headed north to a steam-sail dual-powered warship that surrounded it, intending to break out of the encirclement from here.

As the gun ports were pushed open one by one, dozens of cannons on the starboard side of the "Black Tulip" fired in unison, and booming sounds came out one after another.

One after another, the shells flew towards the dual-powered battleship, or fell into the sea before approaching, causing a wave of waves, or jumped over it directly, and fell further away.

This is a calibrated shot!

But soon, the second round of shelling sounded again.

And at this moment, on the battleship that was bombarded, a lean middle-aged man wearing the costume of the Church of the Storms bishop suddenly soared into the air, his hair also stood on end at the same time, entwined with lightning.

Immediately afterwards, those silver-white lightning bolts wrapped around his hair shot out like arrows, accurately intercepting every shell!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the mixture of lightning and fire, silver and white and crimson shone alternately, and then shrapnel flew, like dozens of fireworks in a row.

...

"Ludwell is very unlucky. There is actually an 'Ocean Singer' of the same level as him in the direction chosen to break through... I have to say that for 'Sea Battle', the Church of Storms is a professional. They have the upper hand, and they can even defend against shelling... "Admiral Hell" may really be doomed this time."

Abner stared at the picture closely, and his face became serious. He didn't care about anything else, only the final whereabouts of Ludwell's ring, after all, it was related to the place where "Reaper" fell.

...

Under Abner's gaze, the "Black Tulip" opened the bronze door in its body again while continuing its bombardment, allowing translucent, semi-illusory hideous creatures to appear in this sea full of artillery fire!

One after another, pale corpses stretched out their palms with strips of rotting flesh hanging, and one after another, crimson or cold flames emerged, forming pairs of eyes.

All of a sudden, this place seemed to be the entrance to hell. All kinds of undead creatures crowded and floated on the surface of the sea, charging towards the battleship one after another like a tide.

Seeing this, the "Ocean Singer" on the ship immediately opened up his "singing voice", constantly using his "scary" voice to deter all undead who dared to approach.

But under the distraction, it was inevitable to be hit by the "Black Tulip" on the boat, and a fire burst out on the boat.

Fortunately, at this moment, the "Prize" rushed to this battlefield relying on steam power.

...

Above the gray mist, in the ancient palace.

Klein looked at the sun-like golden color that was gradually dissipating, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and finally said helplessly:

"I don't know if the 'Tower' can use the Holy Light to 'renew the fee'? At least let me finish it, it's so uncomfortable to stop here..."
