This gold coin is the same as the one Emma had obtained from the Giant Squid Mercenary Group before, with the same pattern on both sides.

Because he was worried about the advanced nightmare curse on the gold coins, Master Naga did not directly hold the gold coins in his hand.

Under the action of magic, the gold coins slowly rotate and float at a height of half a person, flashing with a golden luster under the sunlight.

Talos turned around, smiled as usual at the pirates who were already crowded together, cleared his throat, confirmed that they were all focused, and then pointed at the gold coin and asked, "Ten minutes, no, I hope to know the origin of this gold coin within five minutes, otherwise-"

With a loud bang, the young Naga's tail twitched on the deck, causing a small patch of fine cracks.

After activating the bloodline of the Cang Whale in the Netherworld and being promoted to the first-level bloodline knight, Talos's tail no longer needs something like a tail armor. The scales on the snake's tail are the best defensive equipment, equivalent to an ordinary leather armor.

However, Talos overestimated his power, and the horrifying scene in which one of the wooden boards was pulled out did not appear.

Fortunately, the pirates were still immersed in the fear of the curse of the high nightmare, and the shock of the Black Sea Knight, they did not know that the young Naga in front of them had made a small mistake when threatening them.

Talos shook his tail twice guiltily and raised his voice: "So, act, gentlemen! Or is there anyone who wants me to stuff this gold coin into your pocket?"

As a very ancient criminal profession, pirates have nothing to do with peace. In theory, they should be accustomed to death and killing, and are very greedy and cruel. However, the way of death with a beard obviously exceeds the understanding of these pirates with zero spell knowledge.

Ignorance can be fearless, but more often it acts as a breeding ground and soil for the birth of fear, torture and destroy their souls, just like now.

When Master Naga activates magic and makes the gold coins slowly rotate and makes a metal-specific tremor sound and begins to move forward, a pirate finally can't stand it.

Driven by fear, he said in a trembling voice: "The captain snatched from some treasure chests abandoned by the mad girl Juana!"

"Very good. If you can say more details, I would be very grateful."

After receiving the comfort and encouragement of young Naga, the pirate's ideas became clearer: "After the news of Juana's acquisition of the treasure was leaked, it was jointly encircled by the Poro Islands Pirate Alliance in the Western Ocean and three other pirate forces in the Central Ocean. During the escape, Juana abandoned some of the treasures to restrain other forces. It was at that time that we snatched some of the jewelry and this gold coin."

“Two questions.”

"You...please say."

"Where is your captain?"

"Diet, just yesterday." The pirate pointed to the beard lying on the deck, and his thin body was shaken by fear. "When he was sleeping, many wounds suddenly appeared on his body. We thought of many ways to wake him up, but it was useless. Later..."

"We then burned one of his fingers with fire," another pirate added.

Talos nodded, understanding the whole story. Obviously, even the cruel external stimulation of burning fingers could not rescue their captain from the curse of the High Nightmare.

He witnessed two companions inexplicably attacking in their sleep and died miserably. Finally, the group of pirates became frightened birds and lost all their fighting spirit.

They may be cruel by nature, or they may learn to be fierce in the unscrupulous way of burning, killing, looting, but they will also choose to surrender before higher levels of terror and ruthlessness.

"Yes, the second question is, how do you know the news of Juana's treasure and whereabouts? I am frankly speaking, with your strength, it is probably not enough to pose a little threat to the crazy girl Juana."

"Barish pirates are barbarian pirates."

The answer to Talos this time was a man with a fat face. He was not angry because Talos despised their strength, but instead chose to explain it obediently.

"The barbarian pirates placed people under the mad girl Juana. Because they were worried that they were not Juana's opponent, they sold the news to the Pirate Alliance at a high price. As for why the news spread everywhere later, we don't know."

"Barish pirate?" Talos looked at Alesha beside him.

The female knight did not disappoint Talos, as she said before her departure, all the work was ready, including basic pirate information on the Central Ocean and the Western Ocean.

"The Barbarian Pirates are one of the four pirates in the central ocean, composed of a group of lizardmen and harps."

"Lizardman and harps, are you serious?"

The young Naga was deeply surprised by this. After all, according to the knowledge he learned from books, the former of these two orcs generally live in swamps, while the latter generally live in deep forests, and the overall style does not match the ocean.

The Lizardman and the Hawks ran to the ocean to be pirates, just as disagreeable as the priest of the chastity sermon to a scattered dark elf.

"Yes, Mr. Nepton, I can testify." Richard provided valid information in due time. "I encountered barbarian pirates during my trip to the Southern Andes. Although those harps who did not know magic, were very good at taming hook-mouthed falcons and gathering prey information all over the sea."

"What happened later? I was interested in this."

Richard was a little embarrassed, but he still satisfied Talos's curiosity: "Later, the group of harpses robbed a full ten barrels of wine by flying freely. If my uncle hadn't been on the ship at that time - he was a third-level blood knight with the specialty of the bloodline of the eight-eyed giant spider, our losses would have been even more serious."

Unless you master special bloodlines, professions in the bloodline system can only gain the ability to fly in the air after they are promoted to level 4.

The opposite spell casters and clergy can obtain feather drop technique from the first level, float technique from the second level, and wing technique. The mages who are good at Qi element factions can also obtain flying technique one level ahead of the mages of other factions at the second level (it's just a short duration).

"I hope we don't encounter barbarian pirates in the days to come. I don't have any extra time." Talos muttered twice and looked at the pirates waiting to fall. "Listen, I announce that this gold coin will be my private property from now on, and now you can nodge."

The pirates nodded very cooperatively, and they were eager to never see this gold coin again.

"Very good, given that you did not attack me and I did not judge your hobbies on behalf of the gods, so—"

Talos wanted to intimidate and leave directly, but after seeing a special fishing net with a blade that was obviously used to catch Naga or a mermaid, he changed his mind and made a gesture to the other two Naga mages standing on the deck of the Garon.

Two scarlet magical auras shot out from the wand of Naga, landed on the ship, scanning it from the bow to the stern, including the pirates on the ship.

"I asked them to put a curse on the ship that was not very powerful."

In the pirates' horrified eyes, Talos quickly said: "The way to relieve the curse is very simple. Point the blood of another person's heart to his forehead, and use one person's death to exchange for another's new life. If the second moon rises tonight before the night sky is completed, a terrible plague will come to this ship."

"Aresa, take away their magic net rings, if there is one, we should go."

***

"That's not a curse at all, but two simplest detection spells, right?" Richard finally couldn't help asking Talos this when the Gallon sank into the bottom of the sea.

"Of course, each Naga mage in the Evelin Standard Mage Squad specializes in two spell factions, ensuring that it covers water elements, spells, protection, prophecy, illusion and white magic. Sometimes it is good at enchanting, mind and space. Only the black magic and the necromancer faction are not essential spell factions."

"So..." the human blood knight shrugged, "You're just scaring them, and when the moon rises, they'll find it's just a prank."

"No, the truth is exactly the opposite." Talos chuckled and retorted with great smugness. "Given that the high nightmare curse left an indelible terrifying way of death in their hearts, the spirit of the pirates was already fragile and wandering on the brink of collapse. Any simple push could make them do something that was difficult to understand in normal times."

Richard blinked in disbelief: "For example, a curse that does not exist at all."

"Yes, they will kill each other under the terror, and apply blood from their companions' hearts to their foreheads to relieve a terrible curse."

Richard suddenly discovered that this young Naga was not only very hardworking, but also very good at brains. A few simple words made a group of pirates fall into a life-and-death dispute.

If Talos's plan is successful, the group of pirates will lose at least half of it.

But Richard asked unwillingly: "If, I mean, what if, what if, those pirates insist that you are lying to them?"

"Low probability event." This time, Alesha was the one who answered Richard's doubts. "As long as there is a mental breakdown on the ship, panic will spread among the pirates. Once panic spreads, don't expect that those pirates can still maintain rational thinking."

Richard remembered the group of pirates on the ship who were scared by the curse of the High Nightmare and faced with the Gallon that had no idea of ​​resisting, so he could only watch silently for them in advance.

"What's more, even if the pirates don't feel any touched, the two ocean druids following the Gallon will help Master Talos deal with them."

"You have to mention this, right?" Talos said angrily, and the little bit of superiority that he had just found from Richard from his IQ disappeared quickly.

"Uh, actually-" the human bloodline knight hesitated for a while and expressed his opinion, "I personally think that if I didn't take away the magic net ring, it might be better."

"Thank you, remember to remind me to leave one for them next time. I'll study that gold coin, and no one should disturb me." Talos left with his tail swinged.

Because of the existence of the High Nightmare Curse, this gold coin that is closely related to the Ancient Sardinian Dynasty cannot be kept close to Talos or placed in the space ring, but is placed alone in a room.

Considering Talos' current identity as a blood knight, what he called research was just a clumsy excuse.

But it cannot be considered an excuse. The real purpose of the young Naga is to try to lift the advanced nightmare curse on the gold coins, to be precise, to eat it!

Thanks to the activation of the bloodline of the ancient celestial whale in the Ming Dynasty, Talos clearly realized that the power of [gluttony] in the past few days is growing slowly.

Thinking carefully about what happened in the past two months, at first, he ate because he wanted to maintain the circulation of his soul fire; later, when he saw delicious food, he would have the most instinctive desire to eat.

Now, [Gluttonym] has obviously evolved to the second stage, and he has begun to become interested in things that are obviously not available to eat.

The moment when Master Naga took the gold coins out of his bearded arms and was suspended in the air, the keen perception given to Talos made the Blood Knight easily detect the existence of the high nightmare curse, and became a food in a burst of appetite.

"Fortunately, this appetite is controllable under normal circumstances." Talos thought with gratitude, "But how should I eat up the High Nightmare Curse?"

Outside the box where the gold coins were placed, the young Naga snake was placing it, very distressed, and shook the tip of its tail all at once and forth to find a way.

"Maybe I can follow my instinct? Yes, that's it." Young Naga cleared away the extra distractions in her brain and explored the secrets of instinct.

The snake's pupils first emerged, and the gray-blue vertical pupils collect the information flow of light and the picture, and transmit it to the brain for imaging, bringing new visual effects.

I saw a black mist lying on the golden coins. The mist was windless and twisted into the shape of a nightmare beast burning with black flames.

This black mist is the curse of the advanced nightmare!

Talos put his head close to the gold coin and took a deep breath. At the same time, a very faint black mist was pulled off the gold coin and floated into Talos's nose.

Before the mist completely entered the respiratory system, a magical power radiated out from the depths of Talos's body, swallowing the mist in one mouthful.

“A scent of braised beef.”

Now, Talos began to really treat the curse on the gold coins as a kind of food.

The young Naga ignored the violently twisted fog and continued to aim at the gold coins to suck.

The mist that ordinary people cannot see peeled off the gold coins little by little and was sucked into Talos's belly by "smelling".

Because the first time eating through this strange way, only the olfactory organs were satisfied. While maintaining the sucking posture, Talos took out peas provided by the marine druid from the space ring and stuffed them into his mouth to satisfy his desire for the mouth.

About ten minutes later, Talos felt full, and both the stomach and spirit that seemed to be connected to a bottomless pit, gained great pleasure and satisfaction.

The young Naga stretched and felt comfortable all over, and there was still half of the fog on the gold coins.
Chapter completed!
