Chapter 575 The Queen's Departure
Luzer and Bernadette studied the box left by Roselle for a long time and finally determined that Luzer needed to reach Sequence 3 to open it.
Only then can it be opened.
So the problem went round and round and came back to the starting point: promotion.
In this battle, Luze successfully dragged the Sequence 3 "Deathcaller" into his shadow, allowing "Black Knight" to digest a large portion of the potion and begin attempting to access higher levels.
The "Mysterious Queen" doesn't have the Secret Prayer Sequence 3 potion recipe. The Hermit previously said she could try, but she would need a drop of blood from a mythical creature as payment.
Thinking of this, Lu Ze glanced at Antia outside the room.
I don't know if she can bleed. If not, the speaker of the Life School can provide blood... Anyway, the new week's Tarot reading is about to begin. I'll ask the Hermit then. If she succeeds, I can consider it later.
If the recipe can't be found at the Tarot Club, Luze might really have to go to the Aurora Club.
After that, following their discussion, Bernadette took all of Roselle's belongings from the captain's cabin, leaving only the "Twilight Giant" card and the black box for Luzer. The "Desecration Card" was the agreed-upon reward, and the black box, which the Queen couldn't open, would remain on the ship for now, to be dealt with later.
The two disembarked from the "Black Throne".
Black Lake Island has been reduced to ruins. The other pirates who participated in the tournament have long since left, leaving only Luze's fleet and the Mysterious Queen's "Dawn" behind.
—As for the remaining crew and ships of the fleet that had been separated from Anderson, they were also reunited under the fairytale magic of the "Mysterious Queen." They were also very excited after learning that Luzer had become the recognized new king, and said they would hold a banquet to celebrate. At this moment, the "Hink" was noisy with their joyful voices.
"Thank you."
At that moment, Bernadette suddenly said to Luzer, "It's not just because you found the Black Throne, but also because you banished the divine fiend 'Shea,' helping me avert a catastrophe."
"Your Majesty, you went to Backlund for the same purpose before."
Lu Ze recalled what happened at the time.
"Yes, actually that was the ritual I needed to advance to Sequence 2, 'Sage': to prevent a disaster involving high-level forces."
Bernadette glanced at him and explained calmly, "My potion ingredients are all ready, all that's missing is the ritual... but these kinds of things don't happen easily."
Behind the Great Smog of Backlund lie evil gods and royalty, while the Pirate Convention features the "Divine Abomination" and the "Mother Tree of Desire." Both events involve high-level catastrophes. Bernadette's active participation in this battle did indeed help Luze hold off Sear, significantly reducing the death toll.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"It seems you can try becoming an angel," Lu Ze said.
Bernadette's eyes flickered.
"I don't plan to get promoted for the time being."
She said softly, "My inner conflict hasn't been resolved yet. Forcing me to drink the potion will only lead to me losing control."
The sea breeze ruffled her chestnut hair as she gazed intently at the black three-masted sailing ship.
A knot in my heart...
"Is it about Emperor Roselle?"
Lu Ze asked, somewhat suspiciously.
Rosell spent the first half of his life as a leading figure in Intis, spearheading global innovation. However, in his later years, his personality drastically changed, and he became an empress and dictator. This was likely a significant blow to the "Mysterious Queen." Her father, whom she had always admired as a hero, had become a ruthless dictator, suppressing internal repression and expanding colonial empires abroad...
"That's right."
Bernadette's voice was tinged with a sigh, "He became cold and unreasonable then, so I sulked and refused to communicate with him. By the time he was assassinated, it was too late."
That's why you keep investigating Russell's estate, wanting to know the truth about your father's later years...
Lu Ze thought to himself.
More than a hundred years later, this "mysterious queen" still remembers these things, to the point that it has affected Pusheng to the extent that.
"Sometimes, I even feel that he is still alive, just hiding somewhere, slowly regaining his strength..."
Bernadette's voice was ethereal, as if she were referring to something.
As Lu Ze listened, he suddenly understood what she meant: the "Mysterious Queen" was doubting Mr. Fool's true identity, suspecting that he was the resurrected Roselle!
hiss...
Having figured out the Queen's logic, he couldn't help but gasp.
Is this speculation possible?
Could it be that Mr. Fool understands Chinese and even gathered everyone to collect Russell's diary...? Actually, it's because he has just awakened and is not strong enough, and collecting the diary is also to find his past memories?
wrong!
While Bernadette's speculation had some merit, Luzer hesitated only briefly before decisively dismissing it. Judging from his own intuition, the Fool's temperament and style were completely different from Roselle's. Even if the latter had truly been resurrected, there wouldn't be such a drastic change.
No wonder the "Mysterious Queen" cares so much about the Fool... But I'm not going to tell you anything...
"Then I wish you a speedy resolution to your inner turmoil," Lu Ze said. "It's almost time; I need to regroup with my men. Your Majesty, is there anything else?"
The celebration banquet on the "Hind" is already being prepared, but without the captain's presence, the banquet cannot begin.
Bernadette glanced at him.
"There's something I want to ask of you," she said. "If Cattleya gets into trouble, I hope you can help her... at least save her life."
"Splash!"
After saying that, her figure, along with the "Dawn," turned into brilliant bubbles and disappeared into the sea, leaving Lu Ze looking confused.
Cattleya...A Star Admiral?
She used to be the Queen's woman, but later broke away and joined the Morse Order... Why does Bernadette want me to help her? Is she afraid I'll kill her if we meet at sea? Or is there some other reason...?
Lu Ze withdrew his gaze and let out a slight breath.
He put the blasphemous card of "Twilight Giant" into his pocket, then asked Antia beside him, "Can you leave this ship? If so, would you like to come with me to the banquet so I can introduce you to my men?"
"I have no interest in boarding any other ship."
Antia stood with her arms crossed by the ship's railing and said coldly, "Especially since it's your former flagship... You'd better get rid of your crew and come back."
Ah, right, she doesn't like being alone...
Faced with the glare of such an angel, Lu Ze smiled silently, rode the wind to the ship opposite, intending to make an appearance at the banquet and then return to this side.
One night passed.
The next day, Luze woke up in his room on the "Black Throne".
On the opposite ship, the fat pharmacist Darkwell was administering medication to the hangover men one by one, while the sailors who weren't seriously injured were carrying out their daily work, such as washing the deck and tidying the ropes.
Lu Ze looked at them, pondering what to do next.
