"Hmm... you really know how to pick people. General Fen's character is hard to judge, he has no bad habits, isn't interested in women, though there's a chance of sexual dysfunction, doesn't have a smoking addiction, unlike Liszt whose lungs could squeeze his heart like a zit when exerted, and he drinks only to socialize. Been on the ship for so long without saying a word, Glasses indeed helped everyone earn a lot of Yuanzi, I personally respect him, but you can't easily make a conclusion, you have to consider the comprehensive background, taking into account past political assassinations, the hidden darkness, placing him at the top tier doesn't feel right, he's at the level of the superior."

Rein made a sharp assessment.

"Indeed, such a gradient is quite reasonable."

Now all the core members are busy with things everywhere, so it's free to discuss, Morison believes Rein is still quite fair.

"What about yourself?"

Shadi is a bit curious about this werewolf's self-perception, sending him to the sea as a pirate is truly wronged, actually, Rein has the potential to be a male model, having heard that among duck shops it's less about appearance, as each one looks like misshapen fruit, but has Yasashi's advantage. Rein naturally has no connection to Yasashi, this guy is quite amusing, just need to be ruthless enough to brush with a steel wire ball, would definitely win the hearts of many women.

However, being a male model isn't easy, what you imagine to be a male model, a nightlife prince with beauties throwing money, the reality of male models, those over forty with full faces of chunky meat, a wrinkled female with drake voice, calling over and bidding for Tian, most people can't earn that kind of money.

"Hmm…" Rein pondered for a while, "Being placed at the level of Esteemed is without any objections."

"What about me, what about me?"

Archer is quite concerned about which level he can be ranked, should be no problem being top tier.

Everyone pulled tactical grimaces, it seems the Esteemed to Nobility gradient table is still inadequate, due to current chaotic times, the average quality everywhere is hard to evaluate.

Holy Spirit Calendar 2690.

Heaven Port was rated as a model of civilization.

Archer made an indelible contribution to this.

Because he was executed.

Liszt is currently using radio to talk with Galen about matters, temporarily unable to receive broadcasts of the Continent Martial Arts Competition.

"If the Emperor doesn't buy it... the Alan Royal Court only talks justice, not human sentiment, if they present Zote's corpse and then refuse to recognize, what should be done? At the beginning of the year to kill Doringger, not only did the train hijacking incident leak, Liszt's past records in the big prison were also dug up, and the most important... the Aran Army's projects in Mulong were sabotaged, enraged, what's to be done."

Shadi is deeply worried, seriously contemplating these matters, Morison and Rein are unreliable, these two's thoughts probably are to follow Ox at Narrow Sea and hide in Lostra where mountains are high and Emperor is far away.

While Liszt and Celeste have a deep relationship, and because of Fafna, have been completely bound to the Holy Spirit Sect, Yalan Anti-Imperialists, Lostra, and Beima restoration forces' warship.

Alan Royal Court may still have concerns about these roles, but certainly has none with pirates.

"Jeez, haven't they been enraged for a while, setting up some kind of navy special pursuit squad."

Rein indeed is as Shadi guessed, but there's some difference.

All things come at a price, it's not like some adult Immortal cultivation story, where the world's only rule is leveling up, wanting to go to such a pure world would be great, become a baby and rule everything, but it's impossible.

Rein has already felt the drawbacks brought by magic transformation, Fen's old colleague Huitt turned himself into a fierce fighting unit.

This is not some humanitarian consideration that needs post-sale friendship enhancement, the Aran Army's Life Alchemy requires life consumption, magic transformation has side effects too.

Rein finds it hard to describe the feeling, he himself doesn't know if the transformation is considered successful, there are some rejection reactions, even though the nose doesn't smell anything, occasionally there's a rust smell rushing into the mind, causing some spasms in the mechanical body, uncontrollable mild twitching, nowadays even the heart is magic-guided, mechanical energy pumps transport magic energy throughout the body.

Damn, I've searched everywhere, where's Lucy, my bros are bound to become cyber psychosis sooner or later, hurry back from the Moon for a hit okay?

Though presently feeling good, with Demon Crystal providing strength, the body can't run out of energy, but like the Bay People of the north, they like to take stimulants before battle, at the height of excitement, if not chopped down by enemies, they'd be dead themselves.

Uncertain as the "first machine" of the Magic Energy Industrial Committee how good the outcome will be, honestly, unsure of how many days are left.

Rein rather hopes the Emperor rages, best call Black Sword Netherflame over, but Black Sword Netherflame and that dog person are part of the Imperial Guard, it's impossible to have an external mission.

Now indeed I have soared to greatness, as a founding shareholder of Black Sail, wherever I go for meals, there are people offering to pay, but… just can't swallow the ultimate scapegoat feeling, perhaps it's no longer about revenge, but has become a pure obsession.

Currently Black Sail is temporarily courting Lostra, the future is uncertain.

Heard from Saleret about some things of Zahak, during the battle with Beima, Black Sword Netherflame actually chopped Zahak's father.

After arriving at Golden Palm Port, must properly interrogate Zahak, might find a different way to approach Imperial Guard personnel, these bird people must have vacations someday, need to find a place to retreat, can't possibly guard the Emperor daily.

Rein didn't expect Zahak to have some connections with him, but it's not surprising. When it comes to shady dealings, Black Sword Netherflame is almost always involved, and he's quite infamous for it.

"That was a pursuit team not yet settled from Mulong's affairs. Now, General Fen is at Su Mei's house collecting Yuanzi for Black Sail. Originally, these Yuanzi should have been collected by Aran, affecting the core interests of the Royal Court. Although the Royal Court knows that other countries are secretly messing things up behind the scenes, guess which is easier: dealing with Lostra or dealing with us."

As he talked, Shadi also became extremely concerned about the Continent Martial Arts Competition. It really was about to get messy. Liszt and Lostra are in a passionate affair, and now going to the Narrow Sea is just helping Lostra, setting up trouble for Giant Whale Guest.

Unconsciously, it was actually Lostra who pushed things into the open, making Aran a target. That's why Celeste is negotiating with her superior, giving Black Sail so many benefits. It's not for nothing; it's a meal with a price.

That's why life in the underworld is really damn tough. Now, every core member of Black Sail acts all cocky, claiming they can do this and that, but in essence, nothing has changed. They're still living day by day with their lives hanging by a thread. Last year, they worked for the Count of Londen, and this year, they're working for Lostra.

That's why... everyone wants to become a noble. Thinking back, Claude's old thoughts weren't really off; damn, the underworld is always the underworld.

But speaking of East Sea Pirates, they should be content. There are still many people in this world who want to join Black Gloves but can't. Shadi's eyes narrowed; as long as he marries the Empress of Luoguo, everything will be fine.

"Still making phone calls? Right now, morale is low, and the Emperor really is about to slam a punch down."

Archer said so.

"Hmm... okay, I understand." Liszt pondered for a moment on how to handle Gren, "Just keep her stable for now. Given the current situation, she won't pose a threat in the short term. Since Doringger's friends also don't want her to come to the East Sea, it's best to inform her family to clean up. If that doesn't work, I'll have to personally guide her. For now, let me focus on the Continent Martial Arts Competition. Over and out."

Liszt turned off the radio.

"Indeed, even if Rashomon succeeds, the Emperor's mix of carrot and stick tactics have made things difficult. Overseas, even killing Zote isn't enough to balance the scales, and the Emperor still isn't having it. What should we do?"

Shadi posed the question of the soul; the Narrow Sea isn't far from Summer Sunset Island, and it would be a joke if he died before flexing back home.

"Tsk." Liszt, as the big brother, couldn't show weakness, even if there was a risk. "Mulong's aggression is external; let's support Uborio. Brother Wu is the real enemy of the army. What does any of this have to do with Liszt? Zote is a family matter, remnants of the previous dynasty. The Emperor knows which is more serious. Tomorrow, we have to make a public announcement; Lostra's media has everything arranged for us. Also, you guys don't understand the level Black Sail is at now. Have some confidence."

Liszt lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, adding, "Black Sail may indeed be Lostra's Black Gloves now, but even a son-in-law might bite back. Doringger, I can handle, and Mulong's affairs, I can manage. If I'm tasked with dealing with Giant Whale Guest, you have to be the umbrella."

It's not that the core members of Black Sail don't understand their organization's level; it's just that the Emperor is so damn intimidating. Even if they have confidence, it's hard not to lose it. With Liszt's words, Shadi felt there was no problem—after all, the sky cleared, and the rain stopped.

As for the others, Rein couldn't wait to directly PK with that damn emperor in the capital, and Morison was fearless.

Regarding Archer, who cares what that fool thinks? He has a head just to look taller but uses it for nothing more—practically useless.

Liszt adjusted the machine, continuing to pirate the Aran's frequency, listening to the broadcast of the Continent Martial Arts Competition, which had reached the final round of the fourth stage — the top thirty-two advancing to sixteen.

Fafna had already fallen asleep in another carriage, and Garscek came over to listen too. Being so tall, he bumped his head on the doorframe with a thud, nearly smashing it.

"So, how's the so-called Rashomon going?"

Garscek asked.

"Why do you care? Just focus on recovering."

Liszt didn't have the mood to flirt with the Big Car now. If it didn't work out, forget about starting the greatest adventure of the twenty-seventh century with Nashano; they'd be forced into a grand adventure tomorrow, and the Emperor would want the truth.

"Feeling cocky, huh? I'm the biggest shareholder of Black Sail, bar none. According to that Necromancer, supposedly Mulong has world-class mineral reserves, but I'm the biggest beneficiary."

Garscek crossed his arms.

Liszt listened as if hearing celestial scripture, greatly shocked, somehow forgetting about this—those quarterly financial losses were covered by Garscek's Dragon's Treasure Vault. He always thought it was his wife holding her in check, not really taking it to heart. This Big Car, from an economic standpoint, was truly the East Sea Sister.

"Yes, I love you too."

Liszt forced out a gentlemanly smile, pulled out a chair for Garscek to sit, and urged Shadi and Rein to quickly peel some fruit for Sister Gar.

"A bit unsettling... but whatever."

Garscek casually sat down; she was, of course, concerned about her earnings.

What no one knew was that the Dragon Clan loves to flaunt, needing nothing less than an Audi A6 for things to work, not settling for anything else. When the barriers between planes disappear after nine hundred years, they would have to show off to those comrades at Flying Dragon Ridge.

[In the fourth round... the final advancement match, the sixteen contestants for tomorrow's Stargazing Festival finals will be decided. Hoo... this is so exciting, the year with the most luxurious lineup, the most luxurious top sixteen star contestants!]
