Nightfall!
In a hotel room.
Gounières sat quietly on the bed, operating the system.
He removed the Level 4 Lesser Thunderfire Spell and Level 2 Underworld Blood Ritual Incantation.
They were replaced by the Beginner Cryptic Incantation "Dark Inscription Arcane Channel" and the Advanced Energy Bullet "Arcane Bullet".
The Dark Inscription Arcane Channel was a super long-range method that would be used more often in the ocean, so he needed to use it first.
The Lesser Thunderfire Spell was almost at Level 4, so it was enough for now.
As for the Underworld Blood Ritual Incantation, Gounières wouldn't need to use it for a long time, so he wasn't in a hurry.
As the two Cryptic Incantations were placed on the hack, Gounières began to carefully feel the details of the two Cryptic Incantations.
"After a few days, I can successfully try the Arcane Shooting."
"I'll try its power then. I hope the Cryptic Inscription Arcane Shooting combined with the Thanator's Destruction Energy won't disappoint me."
Then, Gounières came to the window.
The night breeze blew gently against the curtains.
Gounières felt the slightly salty sea breeze as he squinted his eyes and looked at the distant depths of the ocean.
"Searching for treasures in the ocean is just a small goal. I can also capture a powerful Demon Leader to condense a Co-Soul."
"The main goal is to follow the guidance of the golden conch and head to an unknown area to obtain the Occultic Rune, a powerful rune that is related to the Dominator."
"Moreover, the pace of life in the ocean is slow. It's also important for me to steadily increase my strength on the ocean."
"I just need to steadily obtain resources on the ocean and increase my strength."
"When I return to land, I don't think I need to worry about being assassinated by a Transcendent Master."
Then, Gounières's gaze fell on the densely packed ships at the harbor.
"After all, I stole Captain Jack's name. In this era of Transcendent Voyages, it's necessary for Jack Sparrow's name to resound across the ocean."
In this dark room, Gounières quietly thought.
…
Heimron Tavern.
The past few days had been bustling with activity.
Every day, there was an endless stream of Transcendent sailors who came to drink, participate in the recruitment test, or watch the recruitment battle of Captain Jack, the spellcaster of the Demonic Whale Adventurers.
Every year, there were at least eighty, if not a hundred, adventurer groups established at the Harutev Sea Harbor.
The reason why the Demonic Whale Adventurer Team was so famous was because they were recruiting in the backyard of the Heimlong Tavern.
The main reason was that the leader of this adventurer group, Captain Jack, was powerful and strange.
It wasn't because he was really strong. He was only Transcendent Rank-3, which wasn't a high rank.
However, there were very few superhumans who could last more than a few seconds against him.
Even a powerful Rank 4 Transcendent wouldn't have much room to resist the Rank 3 Captain Jack.
This was the reason why the Shades adventurer team had been able to make a name for itself in the past few days.
This also attracted many Transcendent sailors to participate in the recruitment test.
Buster Johnson, who was tall and had a few scars on his face, pushed open the door of the Heimlong Tavern with a creak.
At the same time, he looked at the windows and the corridor near the backyard, where many Transcendent sailors were holding wine glasses.
He came to the bar and threw a silver royal to the waiter.
"Buddy, a large glass of Haeru."
A moment later, the bartender delivered a large glass of Haeru to Buster Johnson.
"The extra is yours. I'd like to ask you something."
Looking at the silver royal, a smile appeared on the bartender's face. "Please tell me."
"I heard that there's a pretty strong adventurer group called the Demonic Whale Adventurer Team. They're recruiting sailors?"
"Yes, they're in the backyard."
"What's their recruitment rule? Rank? Or do they have to pass a certain test? "
"They definitely have a rank. Most of the sailors who joined their adventurer team in the past few days are in the late stage of Rank 2. There are even two in Rank 3.
"None of them are in Rank 1. Clearly, this adventurer team doesn't need ordinary Transcendent sailors.
"As for the test … I heard that no one passed it in the past few days."
"Oh? What do you mean? Is the test very hard? "Buster Johnson raised an eyebrow.
"The test isn't hard. You have to find a way to chop off the wooden man's head from a distance of thirty meters."
"As for that Captain Jack, he'll be right next to the wooden man. He'll use all sorts of magical spells to stop you."
"I heard that these magical spells are very powerful, but Captain Jack's mastery over them is truly astonishing. So far, he hasn't caused any serious injuries or deaths to anyone."
"The most serious injuries have been electrocuted and twitching on the ground for a while."
"No one has passed the test, but people have been recruited. In other words, if you're strong enough, you can pass Captain Jack's mental test?" Buster Johnson said thoughtfully.
"That should be the case." The bartender nodded.
"Then what if you injure the wooden man?"
"Then you can take up a position in the adventurer team."
"Who said so?"
"Captain Jack said so himself."
"That's interesting." As he spoke, Buster Johnson narrowed his eyes and looked towards the backyard.
At this moment, the windows of Heimron Tavern, which was near the backyard, and the corridor in the backyard, were already packed with people.
"Wow! He's flying again. "
"Haha … I knew it. This rank two brat can't do it."
"Even a mid rank two Extraordinaire would be flung around miserably. This guy, who's only at the early rank two, will definitely fall even more miserably."
Just as expected.
Heimron Bar, in the spacious and deserted backyard.
"Peng!"
A young sailor around eighteen or nineteen years old fell miserably on the flat lawn that the testers had fallen on before.
Standing up, "Martel Cole" shook his body. In the end, he discovered that it was hard to break free from the binding of the invisible thread with just strength.
"This Captain Jack is really powerful. I can't even get within ten meters of the wooden man. Looks like there's no hope." Martel Cole sighed in his heart. Soon after, the dagger in his hand spun nimbly in his hand. The edge of the dagger was already aimed at the invisible thread.
He used all his strength to pull.
"Bang!" The weakened version of the puppet thread had already collapsed.
This scene fell into the eyes of Gounières, who was sitting behind a wooden table in the distance.
"Oh, he easily broke this weakened puppet thread. Although I only used one unit of source energy to supply this rank five puppet thread, its power didn't even reach a quarter of its original power."
"But it's not something that can be casually broken with a weapon and source energy. Moreover, this guy can still faintly feel the existence of my puppet thread."
"Although I deliberately didn't hide it, being able to feel it means that his perception ability is pretty good."
"More importantly, this guy is very young and has the potential to grow. Compared to those old foxes, he's more suitable to be by my side."
"Martel Cole, you've been accepted," Gounières said loudly.
"Hm?"
Martel Cole, who originally thought that he had lost, was startled.
Soon after, he looked towards Gounières, his face revealing a surprised expression.
"I've been accepted?"
"Yes." Gounières nodded, beckoning him over.
