Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 30: Mirror, Mirror, Tell Me
Old Hans worked in the dock with most of the non-combatants and ordinary sailors.

Salman led more than thirty main combat members and checked into a nearby hotel called Rosemary.

When Byron found him in a separate courtyard, he had just angrily chased away a heavily made-up prostitute.

"Pah, you're definitely not capable of ignoring my charms."

As they passed each other, Byron ignored the woman's muttering and walked in without looking around.

After the ceremony, he explained to Salman the renovation plan that had been approved by old Hans.

"Haha, Mr. Byron, I was right about you.

Although I don’t know much about boat building, I can see the potential of this new sail layout, so let Old Hans and his team go for it.”

"Don't believe the rumors on the ship. What's the point of a mere first mate position?
Wait until the Man-eating Shark recruits soldiers and expands its personnel, seizes a second pirate ship, and truly becomes a pirate group.

You, Byron Tudor, will definitely be my first captain!"

As expected, when Salman saw the pirate ship transformation plan, he accepted it with great satisfaction.

But apart from verbal encouragement, he was not given any reward.

"Captain, you are over-praised. This is what I should do.

Everyone for me, and I for everyone, and glory belongs to the collective.

Compared with the overall interests of the pirate group, what do my personal gains and losses matter?

I plan to move to the dock after I finish making vermicelli scallops, braised prawns, and lamb soup with dark beer for you tonight.

Supervise their construction to ensure that there are no mistakes. "

Byron was very "big picture" and took the big picture offered by Salman without hesitation, and even took the initiative to ask for more responsibilities.

“By the way, while I have time, I will study the Bloody Mary Recipe again.

The recipes above really opened my eyes. There are more recipes than I know. I'll excuse myself now."

As usual, he bowed respectfully, turned around, pushed the door and left.

Watching Byron's receding back, Salman, who was already in severe pain even before nightfall, could not help but sigh:

"The overall situation, the overall situation. He is truly a model crew member who considers the overall situation. He is 10,000 times better than the other crew members on the ship combined.

The longer time goes by, the more I feel I can't live without you.

How I wish I could find another chef who is good enough to be eaten by the [Recipe] instead of you, but my 'curse' can't wait any longer."

If I wasn't absolutely sure that the other party was not a transcendent being of a certain sequence.

He almost thought that this noble butler was actually a loyal knight who strictly adhered to all eight virtues and chivalric motto.

I feel a bit complicated at the moment. I hope to get the [Transmutation Blood] as soon as possible, but I also hope that Byron can hold on a little longer.

The slower the blood is eaten by Bloody Mary's Gourmet Recipes, the better the quality of the [Transmutation Blood], and the more hope it has of helping him escape from suffering.

"Mr. Byron, you are so considerate of the overall situation, you will not blame me, right?"

Unfortunately, this pirate captain, who could only clumsily imitate the noble style but never learned the essence of aristocratic power politics, did not know this.

In this world ruled by aristocrats and where the strong prey on the weak, only those with vested interests will keep talking about "considering the overall situation" all day long.

If this person does not seem to be a vested interest on the surface.

Then he must be the big picture!

Time soon came to night.

In another corner of this pirate port, a group of cloaked people walked out of the inn where they were staying and joined the drunken crowd on the street.

Like countless pirates who lingered in places of entertainment, he was not noticeable at all.

We stopped at the beach across the street from the Rosemary Inn and hurried into a wind mill that looked very dilapidated.

The huge windmill was spinning with a creaking sound, and the noise it made completely covered up the whispered conversations of the group.

They were clearly being cautious.

Arriving at the simple second floor of the mill built with wooden boards, the captain of the White Crystal, [Magic Mirror] West, immediately ordered his crew members to clean the place thoroughly.

I moved to the window and looked down at another building not far away.

"The finger monkey, is that right there?"

There was a sword scar on his ugly face, which made the short young man look even more ferocious. He immediately nodded:
"It's correct. The brothers who were following us have confirmed it again and again. It's at the Rosemary Inn, a street away from us.

The straight-line distance is no more than 100 meters, and your spells can exert their strongest power here. "While they were talking, the pirates they brought with them had already cleaned the second floor thoroughly.

He even used special chemicals to polish the broken wooden boards until they sparkled, so that even West, who had a severe mysophobia, couldn't find any fault with them.

"Okay, you all don't need to stay here. Everyone, go out and be on guard. Don't let anyone come and disturb me while I am performing the ceremony."

[Magic Mirror] West waved his hand and asked the monkey and the other crew members to go downstairs.

He was holding a canvas bag and arranging the rituals on the ground.

The essence of most [Forbidden Knowledge] is ritual witchcraft.

Through specific rituals, one's own spirituality is connected with certain world rules, spiritual bodies, unknown higher beings, etc.

The temporary retreat of the ego consciousness allows the spirit to resonate with a higher being, unleashing powerful abilities that transcend its own limitations or even those that it does not possess.

West first drew a pentagram on the ground using sea salt mixed with white crystal powder.

In the five corners, ritual candles of red, blue, yellow, green and black are placed, corresponding to fire, water, wind, earth and the fifth element, spirit.

He then took out five bottles of plant essential oils with different symbolic meanings and placed them in front of him.

Deer Hoof Grass, symbolizes: protection, healing, and breaking evil.

Wormwood, symbolizes: spiritual strength, protection, and spiritual calling.

Skunk cabbage symbolizes: legal events.

Mugwort, symbolism: psychic powers, precognitive dreams, astral projection.

Hairy grass, symbol: love, hunting.

Finally, he placed a silver mirror half a person's height in the middle of the pentagram, knelt in front of the mirror, and slowly entered a state of meditation.

By the time the hustle and bustle of the pirate city outside died down, the time had quietly come to one o'clock in the morning.

[Magic Mirror] West suddenly opened his eyes, and the silver spiritual glow in his pupils illuminated the second floor of the mill.

"Time is up."

Take out a silver tinderbox and light the ritual candles on the five corners.

Then drop the essential oils of five herbs on the flames of five candles.

call--!
The wind of spirituality blows through the mill, forming an invisible barrier that blocks exploration on the mystical level.

The stinking cabbage, which symbolizes a "legal incident," came into effect, and the laws of Anchor Bay lost their most basic monitoring power over the area.

He then took out a piece of "blood-stained" white cloth from the canvas bag, which was the monkey's trophy.

Alcohol evaporates much faster than water.

By the time the assassin [Finger Monkey] ran all the way to find his captain, his body temperature had almost evaporated the alcohol.

The [Transmutation Blood] and the blood of Blood-Eyed Salman dissolved in the wine remained, but only a faint smell of alcohol remained.

Even West, who had severe mysophobia, did not realize anything was wrong.

After all, shouldn't it be normal for pirates to smell like rum?
Soak a white cloth in rose water and draw a perfect circle with a scent of fragrance and blood on the surface of the silver mirror.

The entire space on the second floor suddenly became gloomy and cold.

Although the candle was lit, the silver mirror quickly dimmed until it was completely black, as if there was a shadow rolling in another world behind the mirror.

The scenes in the surrounding mill were distorted and collapsed towards the mirror under the light of the candle, as if everything was being pulled into the mirror.

West's expression remained unchanged as he chanted in Rune:
"Mirror, mirror, tell me, where are my enemies?"

Three times in a row.

In the depths of the thick and impenetrable darkness in the mirror, a pair of bright silver eyes suddenly opened.

That's a mirror demon!
Just like [Transmutation Blood] is the core of various [Blood Brew] recipes in the same series.

All methods of [Magic Mirror Divination] are based on this [Magic Spirit in the Mirror].

The moment West looked into the demon in the mirror, his eyes closed and his body fell limply.

The effects of the other four herbal essential oils: spirit summoning, astral projection, hunting, and demon breaking are presented in turn.

In the rich fragrance, the [Demon in the Mirror] suddenly took on a human-like form.

It flashed like a frame skip, and suddenly dived into the depths of the mirror world.

In fact, it used the mirror world as a transit point and entered another mirror across the street!
