Weird Star Witch

Deep in the Kundun Parish, a primitive wooden wheeled cart without alchemical shock absorbers is slowly moving forward under the drag of a slow donkey.

The road here is bumpy and uneven, and every time a pit is passed, the old donkey will be more tired. There are blacksmith shops everywhere inside the Kundun Church. The carts pulling coal and iron ore have damaged the road. In addition, this place is too remote and not worth maintaining, making the road condition very poor.

The Kundun Church imitated the steam turbine of the alchemist, but did not imitate the steam locomotive, because the church advocates suffering. Steam locomotives can make people's journey comfortable, which is absolutely intolerable to the church.

Only suffering, only suffering that approaches the endurance limit of believers, can make believers realize the kindness of the God of Craftsmen or other gods. It is the gods who bring faith and avoid people's lives from being too painful. It is also the gods who build heaven for believers so that believers will not suffer as much as they did when they died.

On the cart, Jack swayed and looked forward with lifeless eyes. He did not urge the old donkey. The old donkey could rest as long as he wanted.

He recalled the panic he felt when he fled from here decades ago, sitting on a cart. The whip never stopped at that time, hitting the ass of a donkey he threw at him.

He lost his title, no longer Cotton Jack, and turned back into Jack, the believer who was expelled from the temple because he always raised questions.

When the oracle deprived him of his divine power, when the oracle punished him, he understood that he had completely become a fish on the chopping board.

Jack's destination was his hometown, a remote mountain village, where he would become a priest of his hometown. He was not allowed to leave the village or go to a high-level temple to pray to the God of Craftsmen.

After walking on the cart for more than ten days, he finally saw the village on the hillside.

There were about 10 houses scattered on the hillside, proving that there were 10 households here, and Jack would become the 11th household here.

The previous level 1 priest died of old age in his low house, and he would inherit the low house and the position of priest in this village.

Two children in the village saw a white-haired old man climbing up the mountainside, and hurried back to the village, calling for adults to come and welcome the new priest.

Soon, all 10 households in the village knelt at the entrance of the village to welcome their new priest. None of these people knew Jack. In fact, Jack was from here. His home was the third wooden house from the west. Now that house was inherited by a relative he didn't know, and he didn't want to take it back.

From the busy pirate port to the village on the mountainside, Jack didn't feel uncomfortable at all, as if there was no difference between the two places.

Only his messy white hair proved that he turned white overnight and became old now.

There is no temple here, not even a blacksmith shop or a blast furnace. Jack sat on the stone at the entrance of the village, ready to spend the rest of his life.

Only when he occasionally looked in the direction of Saragu Sea, the gleam in his eyes, the eyes that could scare away several children, could prove that he was once a famous pirate on Saragu Sea.

Lowering his head, Cotton Jack thought, I wonder if Drake can find a good owner for his legacy.

Yes, he is still alive, but the legacy has been handed over.

In the distant Saragu Sea, Drake suddenly found Rudolph: "Captain Furnace, you don't have to feel guilty."

Rudolph was a little confused, guilty?

Inexplicably, what should he feel guilty about? He never felt guilty. This alien world is not worth his guilt.

Drake continued: "At the Pirate Conference, your joining made the Pirate King Baoli reverse the situation. The pirates stood on the opposite side of the evil god cult. Now the big pirates have been hit by the evil god cult. You don't need to feel guilty about this."

The atmosphere was set off here, and Drake's eyes were so sincere. Rudolph didn't feel guilty at all, but for Drake's comfort, he showed some guilt.

"Thank you for your comfort, Drake, I feel much better when you say that."

Rudolph didn't think he had done anything wrong in pushing the Pirate Conference to fight against the evil god cult. Drake's comfort made Rudolph feel a little guilty. Drake thought too well of him.

"After I was captured by the Church of the Trapped, Cotton Jack found me in the prison of the Trapped. He said that the evil god cult didn't even trust him and Bare-chested Miri, and it was only a matter of time before we, the great pirates, were attacked by the evil god cult.

I now understand that it is precisely because we are against the evil god cult that the Elba Alchemy Council and the royal nobles are willing to take in the great pirates. And the evil god cult never included the item of recruiting pirates in its plan. The pirates were attacked, and it was not the fault of Pirate King Bao Li and you."

It was the resolution of the Pirate Assembly to fight against the evil god cult, proving that among the pirates, there are more people who are oriented to the North Continent than those who are oriented to the South Continent. Rudolf himself is very flexible. If the resolution of the Pirate Assembly is more likely to fight against the North Continent, then he will not inherit the seat of Red Beard. It is precisely because the resolution of the Pirate Assembly is more likely to fight against the evil god cult that he came forward.

Drake took out a package and said, "This is Cotton Jack's legacy. It belongs to us now. I hope this legacy will be useful to you."

"Legacy? Didn't you say that Cotton Jack was exiled to a remote area of ​​the troubled parish? Did he know that he would be secretly executed by the church?"

"He won't be executed in secret, after all, he is a level 6 priest." Drake said: "For Cotton Jack, his divine power was easily taken away by the oracle, everything he had as a great pirate was taken away by the church, and the parish he founded with great effort became part of the troubled church. Although he can breathe, he is already a dead man, a living dead man."

For a man, the death of his career and ideals represents his social death. Cotton Jack is already a dead man, a dead man who cannot resist, a dead man who can only wait to die.

Rudolph opened the package, but found that there was nothing inside.

"This is Cotton Jack's prison. You have to use the power of faith in the prison to open it. No other way will work."

Rudolph turned around and shouted: "Cooper! Find me a dead body of a trapped priest!"

Drake asked in confusion: "Who is Cooper?"

"Cooper, Cooper is the Green Skull. The real name of the Green Skull is Cooper. You can call him Cooper in the future."

"No, the real name of the Green Skull is Laszlo, not Cooper."

"Oh? Really? The Green Skull really has a name, well, it doesn't matter. You have been in Saragu Sea for a long time, you are right, the real name of the Green Skull may be Laszlo, but the real name of the Green Skull now is Cooper."

Drake instantly guessed a possibility: "The real Green Skull is dead? Your friend Cooper replaced the identity of the Green Skull?"

"Almost, I have to say that you can escape from the Church of the Trapped, and your IQ is quite high."

Soon, Cooper came to the deck with a dead body of a trapped priest.

Drake looked at the Green Skull again, and his mood was different. This Green Skull was not the Green Skull that Saraguhai was familiar with. He had changed.

No wonder, no wonder the Green Skull's style of behavior was very different after his reappearance. It turned out that he had changed. Other pirates thought that the Green Skull had been locked up for more than ten years and had mental problems. The Green Skull after his comeback was terrifyingly well-behaved, not like the original Green Skull at all.

"Are the Level 5 trapped priest corpses enough?"

"Enough, you said it as if you had a Level 6 trapped priest corpse."

Listening to the two people's teasing, Drake immediately caught a possible new situation: "Is Cooper capable of controlling a Level 6 corpse?"

"Or you can say you are smart, yes, Cooper has been promoted to a Level 6 zombie."

Drake shook his head. The two big pirates were too strong. They were promoted one after another and became Level 6 apostles.

With the power of faith in the trapped priest corpse, Cotton Jack's trapped prison was successfully activated.

After the cotton cloth came into contact with the power of faith, it suddenly expanded and turned into a round hollow ball wrapped in cotton cloth.

Thousands of kilometers away, Jack suddenly raised his head and looked towards the direction of Saraguhai through his messy white hair. Did Drake find the owner of the inheritance for him so quickly?
