I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 235 - 171: Undercurrents in Zulomok (Triple-Length)

"Go up there and show him some color!"

The man angrily ordered his nearby companion.

But to his horror, he found that his companions remained motionless, their faces full of fear.

Rogel raised his hand and lightly flicked his fingertips.

With a puff, a segment of the man's finger bone immediately separated.

The man couldn't help but grimace in extreme pain, letting out a miserable cry.

"Where did you get the gun in your hand?"

Rogel stared at him, asking again.

The man, now terrified, finally realized he had gotten into serious trouble with someone he shouldn't have provoked!

"...The gun, the gun was bought from the black market in Zulomok, sold to me by the Vampire Jellyfish! She said... hiss... she said this gun has magical powers..."

The man explained in a panicked tone, enduring the piercing pain from his hand.

"Take me there."

Rogel's face sank.

If this gun truly came from his old friend, the Exorcist Hudson, then he feared for the worst now.

"Lina..."

"Leave it to me."

Lina nodded to Rogel, indicating she could handle the ship repairs.

"I'll leave it to you then."

Rogel thought for a moment.

The man's accomplices had their necks twisted in a uniformly bizarre manner, and with shocked expressions, they collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, the man was scared out of his mind, his face pale, and he could only lead the way for Rogel with trembling steps.

...

With the man's guidance, Rogel quickly found the "Vampire Jellyfish" in the Zulomok Island black market.

The Vampire Jellyfish's real name was Yuri.

She was a vicious woman mingling on Zulomok Island, with a beautiful face.

Many pirates were captivated by her beauty, yet feared her cruelty.

But now, she kneeled before Rogel, not daring to breathe heavily.

Her subordinates stood nearby, sweating profusely, unable to move.

Among them were a few Quasi-Extraordinary, but undoubtedly, they were no match for Rogel.

"This... sir, this is all I know..."

Yuri said through gritted teeth.

She claimed that she acquired the gun from a pirate who salvaged a shipwreck, and she knew nothing about other information.

After listening, Rogel said nothing and took out a potion from his pocket.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yuri's body uncontrollably picked up the potion from Rogel's hand.

"Drink it."

Under Rogel's gaze, Yuri steeled herself and drank the potion in one go.

Less than ten seconds after drinking the potion, Yuri's expression began to grow dazed.

The [Honest Child] potion was just what was needed at the moment.

After Yuri drank the potion, Rogel repeated his earlier question.

This time, what Yuri revealed was completely different from before.

To his surprise, Yuri had indeed lied to Rogel, and she did indeed know about Hudson.

And... they were quite close.

This gun was actually actively sold to Yuri by Hudson.

...because he already had a better weapon.

From Yuri's account, Rogel also learned of Hudson's whereabouts.

He had once stayed in the Sea of Sin and found his acquaintance Yuri in Zulomok, inquiring about his teacher's information.

Then he left Zulomok and did not linger there.

After hearing all this, Rogel breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Yuri with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

So Hudson just left the gun here after all.

And the reason Yuri didn't tell the truth was because she didn't want to reveal Hudson's whereabouts.

Based on what Yuri had said before, Rogel could basically conclude that she was Hudson's old flame.

Rogel hurriedly took out an antidote for Yuri to drink and apologized to her.

Fortunately... he hadn't rashly done anything inappropriate.

Otherwise, this would have become a big misunderstanding.

After recovering, Yuri also listened to Rogel's explanation of the whole story and couldn't help feeling a bit speechless.

But she could understand Rogel's actions.

"You Extraordinaries are really something strong, compared to that, Hudson seems like a fake Extraordinary..."

Yuri rubbed her slightly aching wrist.

"Sorry, sorry."

Rogel awkwardly scratched his head.

"It's nothing. Hudson was lucky to make a friend like you."

Yuri felt a bit annoyed.

"Come to think of it, it was my fault. If I had extra money back then, I wouldn't have had to sell the gun."

Hudson left her more than just a gun; he left other things as well.

Yuri initially sold the gun only to buy some extraordinary materials for making secret medicine for Hudson.

This led to today's misunderstanding.

"By the way, Brother Rogel, why are you here in Zulomok? Is it for the Philei Clan's celebration or the extraterrestrial object's vortex navigation map?"

After confirming that Rogel was Hudson's friend, Yuri asked.

Of course, even if it was a casual question, it was full of her habit of intelligence work.

Rogel was an Extraordinary, this was indisputable, so Yuri directly brought up two things that would interest an Extraordinary, and she could indirectly ask about Rogel's purpose for coming here from this.

Upon hearing Yuri's words, Rogel indeed felt a bit curious.

"What do you mean?"

It seemed Yuri had a wealth of information on hand.

Rogel wasn't interested in the Philei Clan's celebration, but he was intrigued by the "vortex navigation map."

Seeing this, Yuri patiently started to explain to him.

"The Philei Clan's celebration is essentially an auction, auctioning some rare items in Zulomok's auction house."

Yuri was very good at reading people.

When she said this, she clearly noticed that Rogel wasn't very interested, so she briefly mentioned it, then started explaining the second item.

"As for the vortex navigation map of the extraterrestrial object, it has quite a backstory."

"Brother Rogel, you should know about the extraterrestrial object, right?"

Seeing Rogel nod, Yuri continued.

"The extraterrestrial object has been around for quite some time now. It initially caused quite a stir. Many pirates and Extraordinaries, and even adventurers, rushed down the vortex, attempting to enter the extraterrestrial object."

"But without exception, none of them came back. Over time, the number of people risking their lives dwindled."

"However, just recently, an Extraordinary returned from the vortex and drew up a navigation map of the path into the extraterrestrial object through the vortex."

"He even found a return route."

With that, Yuri didn't beat around the bush. She directly took out a map and handed it to Rogel.

Rogel accepted the map without hesitation and began to examine it carefully.

Sure enough, it recorded the direction of each vortex outside the extraterrestrial object and the timing for entry, all in detail.

Perhaps with the information on this navigation map, one could really enter the extraterrestrial object.

"However, Brother Rogel, I must remind you that it's currently impossible to approach the extraterrestrial object."

Yuri said seriously, interrupting Rogel's thoughts.

Hearing this, Rogel was a bit surprised: "Why is it impossible to approach?"

Yuri sighed.

"Not long ago, a mysterious fleet appeared outside the extraterrestrial object, surrounding it tightly, preventing anyone from entering."

"Extraordinaries?"

"That's unclear. I have very limited information."

"But I suspect Extraordinaries may have tried, but I haven't heard any updates about them afterward, so..."

Yuri shrugged helplessly, indicating she couldn't help further.

Among the Five Major Seas, the Sea of Sin had the most pirates and quite a few Extraordinaries.

Although not many, they were unlikely to easily give up on the opportunities hidden within the extraterrestrial object.

So even with a mysterious fleet blocking it, it was very likely they would investigate.

The absence of further news suggested one thing already...

These mysterious fleets had likely wiped out everyone who attempted to enter the extraterrestrial object.

Rogel was pensive.

"I suggest you observe for a while. It's too dangerous to go now."

"If I hear any news, I can inform you anytime."

Yuri said cheerfully, patting Rogel's chest reassuringly.
