Carlotta's Daily Report-Chapter 79: Invitation

As the Rose Pirate Group approached the area, the faces of the pirates on the many pirate ships changed, and they quickly controlled their ships to retreat, making way for a broad path.

In the rumors, the Rose Pirate Group was no gentle bunch; it was said they had already annihilated many pirate groups, making them hard to ignore.

"It’s the Soul Reaper Pirate Group!"

Among the onlooking pirates, someone suddenly shouted, causing another wave of commotion among the pirates.

Not far away on the sea, a massive pirate fleet was approaching, and from the fluttering flags, it was clear that this was one of the ten great pirate groups, the Soul Reaper Pirate Group.

Amelia flipped back and said, "It has nothing to do with us, let’s all go ashore."

Because the waters near the island were too shallow, the sailboats couldn’t get too close and had to stop at a certain distance. Then, one by one, they lowered small boats and rowed to Lionheart Island.

Currently, the Rose Pirate Group has two thousand members. Amelia left five hundred on the ship to watch over it and brought fifteen hundred ashore.

Among the many pirates, this was already an extremely large scale, which was why the pirates gave way upon seeing the Rose Pirate Group arrive, not daring to provoke them.

Just as the Rose Pirate Group members reached the beach, the Soul Reaper Pirate Group finally approached the sea.

Then, to the astonishment of many pirates, a figure from the Soul Reaper Pirate Group suddenly soared into the air, like a large goose, quickly flying towards Lionheart Island.

"It’s the Soul Reaper General!"

Someone shouted, this powerful figure among the ten pirate generals of the Starlight Sea.

The Soul Reaper General was a woman, dressed in a long black robe that hid her figure, with red hair flowing freely and a faint smile on her face.

She flew gracefully and landed on the beach, then walked straight towards the group of the Rose Pirate Group.

This made the pirates of the Rose Pirate Group tense up, their expressions changing. As pirates, who hadn’t heard of the ten great pirate generals? It was hard to remain calm when such a presence approached.

Carlotta even noticed the figures of Julia, Laurie, and Lina among the pirates. All three wore Illusion Masks, hiding their appearances, and quickly approached Amelia, warily watching the approaching Soul Reaper General.

Even they, the top guards from the Fenwick family, dared not be the least bit careless in the face of the famous Soul Reaper General.

The Soul Reaper General didn’t get too close, stopped at a certain distance, scanned the group of the Rose Pirate Group, and asked, "Who is the leader of the Rose Pirate Group?"

Amelia didn’t know the background of the Soul Reaper General but still spoke up, "I am the leader, White Rose. What business do you have, Madam?"

The Soul Reaper General looked at Amelia and smiled, "Our Soul Reaper Pirate Group has always liked making friends. I think your Rose Pirate Group is quite good. Would you like to join our Soul Reaper Pirate Group as our subsidiary?"

Her words were direct and straightforward.

As the Soul Reaper General’s words fell, many of the surrounding onlookers couldn’t help but stir.

Such things were not uncommon; the Soul Reaper Pirate Group had the most subsidiary groups among the ten great pirate groups. But no one expected the newly risen Rose Pirate Group to catch the attention of the Soul Reaper Pirate Group, and for the Soul Reaper General to personally invite them.

With this pirate general personally here, how could they refuse?

For a moment, all eyes were on Amelia.

Amelia hadn’t expected the Soul Reaper General to invite her to join the Soul Reaper Pirate Group. This was undoubtedly a very serious issue. She didn’t know this Soul Reaper General and didn’t know if denying would anger her.

After a moment of thought, Amelia could only say, "This kind of thing, let me think about it first."

The Soul Reaper General smiled slightly, "No problem, take your time. You can give me your answer after exploring Lionheart Island."

After saying this, the Soul Reaper General turned and left.

She came easily and left comfortably, but she left a considerable amount of pressure on the members of the Rose Pirate Group.

Watching this pirate general walk away, Amelia quietly asked Julia, Laurie, and Lina beside her, "If you were to face her, do you think you could handle it?"

Julia hesitated, "I’m not sure. We’ve never fought against any pirate generals before, and we don’t know her level. But we will definitely protect the young lady."

Laurie and Lina nodded in agreement.

Carlotta secretly clicked her tongue. In her eyes, Amelia’s three guards were so strong they were beyond comprehension, but now they seemed a bit hesitant, showing just how much pressure this pirate general brought.

Amelia comforted everyone, "Don’t be too nervous. Our strength is not to be underestimated. Even if it’s one of the ten great pirate groups, they might not be able to do much to us. Anyway, let’s explore this island first."

On the Starlight Sea, there wasn’t just this one pirate general; each pirate generally had to guard against the others. In such a situation, the Soul Reaper General probably wouldn’t be eager to bite off more than she could chew.

Next, under Amelia’s lead, the group immediately chose a direction and set off.

On Lionheart Island, there were dense forests and many dangers.

They hadn’t walked far before a rumbling sound came from ahead, and then a large number of monsters appeared in sight.

These were monsters called Galehorn Horses, with green fur, strong hooves, running as fast as the wind, and a spiral horn on their forehead that could release wind blades to attack targets.

Now, a large group of Galehorn Horses charged forward, the front dozens lowering their heads, pointing their horns towards the group.

The next moment...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Countless green wind blades shot through the air, sharp and relentless, enveloping the group.

At just the first encounter, these monsters launched an indiscriminate attack.

"Fight through them."

At Amelia’s command, the pirates quickly drew their weapons. Those trained in knight skills charged ahead, while those skilled in magic quickly cast spells, engaging the Galehorn Horses in battle.

These Galehorn Horses were mostly at the second or third tier, with a very few reaching the fourth or fifth tier. For the many pirates, dealing with them wasn’t too difficult.

Before long, the Galehorn Horses were defeated, leaving behind a trail of corpses as they fled in panic.

After the pirates collected the valuable parts from the Galehorn Horse corpses, the group continued deeper.

Carlotta looked around, wondering what secrets this island held.

The intelligence from early this morning only had four points, so they could only wander around for now, waiting for the next morning to gather more information.

Lionheart Island was teeming with monsters.

Carlotta and her companions encountered groups of monsters every step of the way, fighting their way deep into the island.

Bloodthirsty Slimes, Fearful Sirens, Ashen Ravens, Earth Lizards, and Gaping Stone Monsters...

The continuous appearance of these monsters opened Carlotta’s eyes, as it was her first time encountering so many in succession.

At that moment, they were in a forest, facing a massive Thousand-Hand Tree Demon. This monster’s body was that of a tree, but it had a gaping maw, and its branches acted like hands, grabbing and devouring nearby creatures. It was highly aggressive.

However, with 1, 500 pirates charging in, even the Thousand-Hand Tree Demon couldn’t withstand the assault. It wasn’t long before it was slashed, its sap flowing freely, large branches severed, and its massive body finally crashing to the ground.

After dealing with the Thousand-Hand Tree Demon, they discovered its stash of rations, some captured pirates.

These were pirates who had arrived on Lionheart Island earlier but were overwhelmed by the Thousand-Hand Tree Demon. Many had died, and the survivors were captured as rations. If not for Carlotta and her group, these pirates would have eventually met their end.

Amelia took these pirates under her wing and inquired about the island’s situation.

The rescued pirates, grateful for their survival, were tearfully thankful to Amelia, and several of them were immediately enlisted as soldiers.

One of them said, "We heard some news that someone has already discovered the location of the Pirate King’s significant treasure. Both the Blaze Pirates and the Silver Hook Pirates have headed there. We were in a hurry to get there too, so we were careless on the way and didn’t notice the Thousand-Hand Tree Demon disguised as an ordinary tree, which led to our current predicament."

The Pirate King’s significant treasure?

Amelia’s eyes lit up slightly. After getting a rough idea of the location, she immediately led her group there.

Although Lionheart Island was vast, a significant number of pirates had arrived in a short time, so it wasn’t surprising that discoveries were made so quickly.

Not long after, after dealing with some obstructing monsters, the group arrived at the foot of a mountain.

The mountain before them was exceptionally tall and steep, with the side they faced being a sheer cliff, almost vertical.

This cliff was covered in vines, which should have been lush and green, but at that moment, the vines had been burned away by a great fire, revealing the cliff’s original appearance.

What was revealed was a massive bronze door, over ten meters tall. The door was already open, revealing a dark, mysterious, and deep interior.

Outside the bronze door, a large number of pirates had gathered.

Among them were members of the Blaze Pirates and the Silver Hook Pirates, two of the Ten Great Pirate Crews, each occupying a large area. Additionally, numerous other pirate crews of various sizes were present, making the place seem somewhat crowded.

"Why aren’t these people going in?" Carlotta couldn’t help but mutter as she looked ahead.

"I’ll send someone to find out," Amelia immediately dispatched her subordinates to investigate.

They didn’t approach the Ten Great Pirate Crews but instead asked some of the smaller pirate crews around.

As the infamous Rose Pirate Crew, when they wanted to ask questions, the smaller pirate crews didn’t dare not answer. So, it wasn’t long before Carlotta and Amelia understood the situation, and their expressions became somewhat.

Behind the bronze door, according to everyone’s judgment, lay the Pirate King’s treasure.

When the Pirate King roamed the Star Sea, many pirates had the fortune to visit Lionheart Island and were not entirely unfamiliar with it.

Many knew that there was a place on Lionheart Island dedicated to storing the Pirate King’s collected treasures, and that place was behind this bronze door.

Undoubtedly, this was the Pirate King’s treasury, now perhaps referred to as the King’s Relic.

Upon its discovery, almost everyone wanted to enter.

However, many who approached were repelled by an inexplicable force, causing some commotion.

After some investigation, everyone finally understood the situation: the King’s Relic did not allow entry to any transcendents beyond the apprentice stage!

"Perhaps this is the Pirate King’s way of protecting his treasure," said Bai Yan, the captain of the Blaze Pirates, a statement heard by many.

"This must be an advanced alchemical array, but unfortunately, we don’t understand it," another captain, Red Flame, expressed regret.

In the end, it was the vice-captain of the Silver Hook Pirates, Demuless, who acted decisively, immediately arranging a team of apprentices to enter. freewebnøvel_com

Even his son, Caiden, a ninth-tier apprentice, was among the first to enter the King’s Relic.

When the Silver Hook Pirates took action, the Blaze Pirates naturally didn’t want to fall behind. Subsequently, other pirate crews, large and small, also selected groups to enter.

After understanding the situation, Carlotta and Amelia looked at each other.

Only apprentices are allowed to enter? Such... such good fortune?

"I plan to go in and take a look," Carlotta said in a low voice.

If the opponents were only at the apprentice stage, she didn’t feel there was much to worry about, even if she was only a sixth-tier apprentice.

Perhaps the Pirate King’s treasure could end up in her hands.

Amelia nodded, "Let’s go in together, and bring some people."

Even though she was a noble lady, born into privilege with abundant resources, she was still very interested in the Pirate King’s legacy.

On the Starlight Sea, it was only rumored that the Pirate King died at the hands of the Wendell Empire’s navy, causing significant losses before his death. However, the extent of those losses was unknown.

As a noble of the Wendell Empire, Amelia was well aware of how exaggerated the empire’s losses were. Despite deploying greater forces to hunt down the Pirate King, they nearly failed, and the cost was truly heavy.

Given the Pirate King’s immense strength, the treasures he left behind were unlikely to disappoint.

"Miss, if you go in, we won’t be able to protect you," Julia couldn’t help but speak up, not wanting Amelia to enter.

Laurie and Lena also looked at Amelia with concern.

Amelia smiled, "Don’t worry about me. At the apprentice stage, I have enough self-preservation skills and won’t be in any danger. Besides, Carlotta will be with me."

She knew Carlotta’s capabilities; she couldn’t be judged by the standards of a sixth-tier apprentice. In the training room of the Moonlight, Carlotta used ninth-tier apprentice-level illusions as sparring partners.
