They all call me Great Master-Chapter 433 430 Pull off a coup, Kangsion!
Looking at the dense array of wooden and metal doors on the walls and ceiling, round or square, long or flat, varying in size, "Storm Sword" Deljo and his companions only felt a tingling sensation in their scalps.
The Gate of Life and Death, as the name suggests, featured two doors: one for life and one for death.
The Gate of Life, survival.
The Gate of Death, demise.
It was initially created to evade pursuit by The Holy Court, a branch system of the "Door of Concealment."
When Deljo discovered this relic had a "Door of Concealment," he suspected there might be a Gate of Life and Death.
However, what Deljo never expected was to encounter the Gate of Life and Death 3000.
You should know that most of the time, the Gate of Life and Death is based on multiples of 3, 6, or 9.
That is, among 3 doors, 6 doors, or 9 doors, there would be one Gate of Life mingled within.

Some might have 18 or even 27.
But 3000... that was unheard of.
Deljo had only heard about it.
Seen? It was his first time.
Even before he saw it with his own eyes, Deljo didn't believe in the so-called Gate of Life and Death 3000.
Because—
The cost!
With the time, effort, and money it took to create a Gate of Life and Death 3000, one could opt for more suitable machinery; there was no need for such a brute force approach.
Deljo approached Marinda and whispered to her about the details of the Gate of Life and Death 3000.
"So you mean to say that among these 3000 doors, there's only one Gate of Life?" Marinda inquired.
"Yes!" Deljo nodded gravely.
"But that shouldn't be too hard, right? If we're careful and test each one slowly, retreating immediately if something isn't right, won't that do?" Urs scratched his head and asked.
"That could work in other relics. But this relic in front of us... probably not!"
What relic is this?
A relic associated with the "Tower of Mist."
Although it's unclear which of the four it was, with the power and capability of those four, if they ever set up a Gate of Life and Death 3000, they would never allow anyone to cheat so easily.
Marinda's gaze secretly swept over "Storm Sword" Deljo.
She once again confirmed Arthur's familiarity with the place.
Arthur's subordinate, Deljo, had considerable knowledge about this place.
What about Arthur?
He probably understood it like the back of his hand, right?
This lady thought to herself as she took a heavy drag on her pipe.
The light of the flame flickered brightly, followed by billowing smoke.
This smoke didn't vanish completely; it drifted towards the nearest door. But as soon as it got close, the smoke dispersed entirely.
No!
To be precise, it was scattered.
Furrowing her brows, Marinda took another puff of smoke.
This smoke was even thicker than before.
It seemed as though a fog had descended in the morning.
The next moment, two Undead emerged from the mist and walked towards two adjacent doors, but, just like the previous smoke, they dispersed as soon as they got close.
"Neither secret techniques nor Undead can get close to the doors. Unless it's..."
"Human!" "Storm Sword" Deljo muttered to himself, also hoping to validate his words, as he slowly approached a door beside him.
Different from the smoke and Undead, which were dispersed by an invisible force, Deljo truly stood in front of the door and even reached out to touch the doorframe.
However, he didn't push the door open.
He merely touched it then swiftly retreated.
"Hiss! Are we supposed to use human lives to scout out the pathway? 3000 doors, 3000 lives? The master of this relic is really..."
This Hunter, Marinda, wanted to say "ruthlessly efficient," but considering that they were excavating someone else's relic, why wouldn't the owner employ a bit of cruelty?
It's only normal.
Upon reconsideration, if someone were to dig up one's grave, Urs would fight with everything he had.

Then, feed it back.
Scratching his head, Urs, who knew he wasn't very smart, shifted his gaze to Marinda.
The "Storm Sword" Deljo and his team also looked at Marinda.
Marinda, in turn, let out a slight sigh.
Fill it with 3,000 lives?
Impossible.
Her land-based caravans, ocean-going fleets, Guards, and the subordinates on the four offshore islands far exceed 3,000 people, but she would never let her people act as pathfinding pawns.
As for others?
If they were enemies, she wouldn't mind.
If they were innocents, she couldn't do it.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to stoop to such means.
So—
"I'll go find Arthur."
Having said that, Marinda vanished into the Smoke.
To seek Arthur was clearly not beyond this lady's acceptable range.
If in the beginning, this lady was also proud and did not want to do this.
But when did she completely let go of that pointless pride?
Perhaps...
The first time Arthur spat on her?
Or when he gave her the middle finger?
The lady herself could hardly remember.
In any case, the two of them ended up like this unconsciously.
Is it good?
The lady doesn't know.
Is it bad?
Definitely not.
Because, the lady was very clear that Arthur was trustworthy when it really mattered.
Awooo!
Arthur gobbled down a roasted knuckle, not even spitting out the bones, just chewing away with big bites.
Watching by the side, "Whale Slaying Sword" Kangsion felt his scalp tingle.
Knuckles, he also ate.
Not spitting out bones, he could do that as well.
But to eat ten knuckles in a row, he really couldn't do that.
Especially when ten roasted knuckles had gone down, Arthur seemed nowhere near full, picking up a sausage that wasn't even cut into pieces and stuffing it into his mouth.
One after another, as if slurping noodles, so smooth.
Then came the white bread, the salad.
Last was the big pot of soup.
Gulp, gulp.
Watching Arthur finish the soup in one go, then clean his mouth after just a couple of gulps, Kangsion began to doubt life.
Am I not strong enough because I can't eat enough?
The "Whale Slaying Sword" asked himself.
However, Kangsion didn't forget the matter at hand.
"My lord, about 'Bloody John'!"
"Speak."
Having eaten his fill, Arthur glanced at the now-empty dinner and temporarily halted his eating, picking up a hot towel on the side to wipe his hands and the corners of his mouth.
At the same time, he listened intently to Kangsion's report—
"After narrowing down to the final eight, 'Bloody John' gathered a bunch of pirates outside Xisis Port.
However, they didn't come close before being wiped out by the Earl of South Los.
And 'Bloody John' himself, sensing the tides turning, fled.
Unlike before, 'Bloody John' didn't escape to the high seas but instead returned to Coconut Island.
'Bloody John''s men are resting up on Coconut Island.
At the same time, 'Bloody John''s confidants have appeared on the three previously uninhabited islands."
After listening to Kangsion's report, Arthur couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his chin.
'Could it be that the legacy of that 'Pirate King' is truly hidden on those three deserted islands?
Such a coincidence?
Or is there something else there?'
Arthur speculated in his heart.
On the side, Kangsion asked in a low voice—
"My lord, shall we take him out?
Coconut Island is 50 nautical miles from Xisis Port, we blitz for 50 miles, launching a surprise attack, and we could finish the battle in two hours!"
