After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 81 Black Cavalry, attacking!
  [One Eye], on the deck.

"One-eyed" Santas had an expressionless face, but the oppressive atmosphere surrounding him made people afraid to approach him.

In fact, the other members of the One-Eyed Pirate Group were also in a very bad mood at the moment.

Because they have also been planted with curse marks.

Looking at Dongsi Island getting closer and closer, Santas felt complicated and unspeakable.

Who would have thought that during an ordinary hunting trip for sea monsters, he would become someone else's "puppet", unable to control his own life or death?

He wanted to resist, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not find the source of the curse seal. However, the shadow of the curse seal was truly and unmistakably shrouded in his heart, making him feel frightened every time he felt it.

"Is this the rumored forbidden power that belongs exclusively to the Sea Witch..."

"Ugh……"

While sighing, he glanced at the alchemist Twilight beside him. Although he couldn't see the other person's expression through the copper mask, for some reason, he always felt that Twilight's mood was very stable, and he seemed to have no control over life and death. I don't care too much about other people's hands.

Sighing again, Santas thought no more.

Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to think too much. Since the purpose of the Dark Moon Witch is only the moon wolf and the treasure, then just cooperate.

At most, it was a waste of time.

But it was a blessing to be able to save his life.

In Santas' silence, the "One Eye" soon docked and stopped.

As soon as he returned to the station and sat down, before he had time to take a breath, he received an urgent report from his men.

"What, you said three black knights landed on the island?"

"Currently confronting the Blood Demon Pirates on Tidal Island?"

Santas' eyes widened when he heard the news.

The name of the Black Knight is known to everyone in the world of professionals.

This group of "hyenas" belonging to the royal family of Augustus have always been known for being cold, cruel, and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals.

Are they also here for the moon wolf and the treasure?

At this moment, Santas's mind was filled with thoughts.

The black knights walking around are at the lowest level and are second-level elites. Three black knights mean three professionals who are at the lowest level and are second-level elites.

The addition of such a force will instantly break the original balance of the Whirlpool Islands. No pirate group, even the strongest Iron Eagle pirate group, can be an opponent of the three black knights.

Unless the three pirate groups join forces, there is still a slight possibility.

But what Santas couldn't figure out was that the Black Knights, as an official armed force, were in a naturally hostile position with their pirates. Why did the three Black Knights make such a "high-profile" appearance?
  After encountering the Dark Moon Witch, he actually no longer wanted to get involved in the Whirlpool Islands.

Santas felt more and more that there were more and more things involved in this "whirlpool", and it was no longer something that the three second-order pirate groups could handle.

However, he has been controlled by the curse seal and it is impossible to escape.

The only way to regain "freedom" is to satisfy the Dark Moon Witch's requirements as much as possible, and regarding the information about the Black Knight, he felt that the Dark Moon Witch would most likely be interested.

After thinking for a while, Santas stood up and went out: "Let's go to Tidal Island to see."

……

When Santas arrived at Tidal Island, it was already half an hour later.

Seeing his arrival, the pirates gathered here quickly made way for him.

As the leader of the One-Eyed Pirate Group and a second-level elite professional, Santas still has a high prestige among the pirate community. Walking into the crowd, Santas immediately saw the "Blood Demon" Leroy and "Iron Eagle" Vladika who arrived here, as well as the three black knights standing opposite the pirates.

His eyes involuntarily fell on the one headed by the three black knights.

Santas didn't understand the difference between the Black Knight's attire, and the man was wearing a hooded black robe, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could feel a strong sense of threat from this man.

This feeling……

"You must be 'One-Eyed' Santas." The leader of the Black Knight spoke: "The leaders of three second-order pirate groups have gathered together. What a good opportunity to eliminate you all in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, "One-Eyed" Santas, "Blood Demon" Leroy and "Iron Eagle" Vladika's expressions changed slightly. Before they could say anything, the Black Knight continued:

"However, clearing out pirates is a matter for the Royal Navy and has nothing to do with us and the Black Knights."

"Now, I give you two choices."

"First, cooperate with us to find the most wanted criminal in the empire, Son of Blood, 'Dark Moon Witch' Freni. After catching her, we will leave. As for the Moon Wolf and the so-called treasures in the Whirlpool Islands, we don't care at all. .”

"Second, you... will die here now!"

As the last word fell, terrifying and surging spirituality rose from the black knight's body.

Instinctively, "One-Eyed" Santas, "Blood Demon" Leroy and "Iron Eagle" Vladika surged spiritually in their bodies, trying to contend with it.

But even with the strength of three people gathered, they still looked weak in front of the black knight's spirituality. After a brief stalemate, they were directly suppressed.

"cough."

The three of them groaned at the same time, and when they saw the black knight taking the initiative to lift his hood, revealing a mask with a light golden number "12" between his eyebrows, a look of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Seat Black Knight, twelfth seat?!"

Santas felt bitter inside.

What kind of monsters have been attracted to the Whirlpool Islands!
  And according to what this person said, the purpose of his coming was for the "Dark Moon Witch" Freni... If he hadn't been cursed, Santas would definitely not have hesitated at this time and directly said that he had seen it. The matter of "Dark Moon Witch", but now...

He is controlled by the Dark Moon Witch, and if something happens to the Dark Moon Witch, his life will probably be in danger.

"This is asking me to be a double agent... no, to be precise, I am becoming an undercover agent of the Dark Moon Witch..."

Santas lamented inwardly.

"I agreed..."

The spiritual pressure was increasing. Feeling the undisguised murderous intent in the eyes of the black knight, "Iron Eagle" Vladika spoke in a hesitant voice.

With him taking the lead, "One-Eyed" Santas and "Blood Demon" Leroy also agreed to cooperate.

"Very good." The black knight nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you too much, as long as you cooperate obediently."

"Now, let your pirates spread out and go find out about the Dark Moon Witch Freni."

"No. [-] and No. [-], you will accompany Mr. One-Eyed and Mr. Blood Demon respectively. As for Mr. Iron Eagle, I will personally accompany you."

"I hope we can have a happy cooperation during this period."

Santas showed an expression of "suffering but having to give in". He understood that this so-called "accompanying" was actually "surveillance".

"We have to find an opportunity to pass on the information."

Santas thought to himself.
