Chapter 370 Robert and Evan's Next Goal
Overseas are places where national order cannot be controlled, and each party has its own rules. The Pirate Code promulgated by Nast Solomon, the King of the Five Seas, is a prime example.
Because the rules and regulations overseas are not strict, all the secret organizations and extraordinary forces have been developing their territories overseas over the years, and the Seven Pirate Generals were born in this context.
Every pirate general has at least one extraordinary force behind him; otherwise, he would never have made a name for himself and would have been wiped out by the navies of various countries long ago!
The Hunter Path is the War Path, and those who excel in the Hunter Path naturally prefer chaotic, disorderly places where conflict is constant.
As Evan continued to advance in Backlund, the feeling of the constraints binding him became clearer, especially after he advanced to become the "Iron-Blooded Knight" and the "Despair Witch," he felt the suppression from rules and order at all times.
This also made Evan understand why the Augustus family had tried to train "hunters" before, but all of them ended in failure.
The Kingdom of Rune simply lacks the environment to cultivate high-sequence "Hunters".
Evan estimated that if it weren't for the "City of Calamity" shielding him from some of the effects, plus the good luck given by the Speaker of Life, he wouldn't have been able to complete the general ascension so easily.
So after discovering this fact, Evan became even more concerned about the sea voyage plan two months later.
Evan has always been a man of careful planning before taking action. Now that he has made a plan to train troops overseas, he can't just make a quick trip and call it a day. He also wants to take this opportunity to acquire the resources that will help the Horn family succeed.
Although Evan and Robert had made many preparations and carried out a lot of work in order to target the Fursac Empire and the Einhorn family.
However, the gap in hard power is not so easy to bridge, especially when the vast majority of extraordinary resources are occupied by various parties!
Robert and Evan don't have many options at the moment. Basically, they either use the Augustus family and the Kingdom of Rune as platforms to generate wealth, or they use the bloodline of the Horn family to carry out large-scale instigation within the Fusak Empire.
However, these methods are laborious and have little effect. The most reliable way is to cultivate your own skills.
However, most of the extraordinary properties and materials in this world have been controlled by various official or secret organizations. Even though the Horn family ancestors had left behind some reserves, it now seems to be insufficient and not enough at all!
With resources fixed and no share available, Robert and Irwin were left with only two choices.
One option is to spend a lot of money to win over other forces, such as the vampires behind Ms. Amanda! But this is not necessarily effective, and may even be ineffective, leaving you at their mercy!
Another option is to rob and eliminate some secret organizations, and directly take over existing forces!
Evan had been strongly supporting Sharon and Maritch for the second reason: he had always wanted to formally incorporate the Temperance faction of the Rose School.
On the one hand, trying to subdue the temperance faction of the Rose School would only offend the hedonism faction of the Rose School.
The Hedonistic Faction's activities are confined to the Southern Continent and are opposed by all other orthodox churches and secret organizations. The cost of standing against them is relatively small!
On the other hand, Evan has the means to win over the Temperance faction of the Rose School. The leader of the Temperance faction is Klein's future messenger, and the future successor is Evan's partner. It is very easy and logical for the two sides to unite, without the need for various tests and building trust!
Now there's another advantage: winning over the temperance faction and targeting the hedonism faction can also be seen as a way to curry favor with Grisha, who is eyeing the Rose School, and to let him know that he still cares about Mr. Z's identity in the Aurora Society and is loyal to his duty to share the Lord's burdens.
Although the true creator and Grisha both know what kind of person Evan really is, they still have to make the necessary statements. As things stand, the Temperance faction is about to become Evan's possession.
Sharon was already deeply grateful for the help she received the "Unmatched" formula from Mr. Collins a month ago.
Two weeks ago, the promise to give her Jax's extraordinary qualities left her and Marich with no choice but to acknowledge their subordinate relationship.
Robert has now used his connections in the military to search for mummies over a thousand years old in the southern continent, and has already made progress.
It is believed that the day when Miss Sharon is promoted to "Puppet" is not far off. As long as Klein continues to look for Miss "Exeggutor" to be an angel, and Robert can reach a consensus with him to cooperate, then the matter of the Temperance faction can be put to rest.
In this situation, Robert and Irwin need to readjust their goals.
Robert's goal was simple and direct: Nast Solomon, the King of the Five Seas.
Robert is now the Arbitrator Path Sequence 3 'Chaos Hunter'.
One of the most important rules in Robert's summary of the rules of acting is to end irrational order.
Robert sees the Pirate Code, established by the Five Seas Kings, as an illogical order.
During the Second Angel War in Backlund, Robert, with the help of the Life Council Chairman, assisted the Augustus family in expelling Urolius the Tail Eater, restoring order to Backlund, successfully advancing to the rank of Chaos Hunter, and greatly improving his ability to digest potions.
According to Robert himself, if he could take such action again, he would have the opportunity to completely digest the potion in his body, kill the five sea kings, and abolish the Pirate Code he created. In Robert's eyes, this was such an opportunity.
In addition, another reason Robert wanted to target the King of the Five Seas was that he was rumored to possess an extraordinary attribute of Sequence 2, "Duke of Entropy," which was a legacy of the Solomon Empire.
Robert has a "Night Emperor's Pocket Watch" in his possession, so theoretically he doesn't need to look for any more extraordinary properties related to it.
However, this sealed artifact was too special for Robert to destroy, which led him to focus his attention on the extraordinary properties in Nast's possession.
Moreover, compared to Nast's years of searching for potion recipes, Robert has just obtained the complete recipe for the "Black Emperor" pathway.
All these factors combined meant that Nast was now on Robert's kill list.
Compared to Robert's pure goal, Evan's goal was much more complex.
On one hand, he wanted to kill several pirate generals, make a name for himself, and help Robert destroy the pirate order established by the King of the Five Seas.
On the other hand, he wanted to test the strength of the Zonia naval fleet of the Fusak Empire.
After all, the main mission of this fleet was to sever the connection between the Kingdom of Rune and its various colonies after the start of the war, and to bombard the Kingdom of Rune's heavy industrial cities along the coast.
Therefore, this fleet is also the enemy that Evan will have to face in the future.
In addition, Evan also plans to investigate the current situation on Bansi Island and see what the "Weather God" hidden there is all about.
If possible, taking down the "Undying King" Agarito is also on Evan's list of projects.
This is mainly in preparation for the gathering of the three major demon families next year.
As for the rest, taking a trip to the Land of Gods and cooperating with "The Hanged Man" Alger to take the ghost ship belonging to the Church of Storms from him is a minor matter.
In short, Aiven had many things to do when he set sail, but the most important thing was to probe the Sunia fleet of the Fusak Empire.
The current policy of the Kingdom of Rune towards the Fusak Empire is to avoid conflict, so they will not allow Evan to provoke the Fusak Empire's navy after he sets sail.
Since we can't choose proactively, let's just deal with it passively.
Evan believed that after Klein caused a great uproar by using the identity of Princess Alice Einhorn, the Kingdom of Rune would inevitably have to respond to the Fusak Empire. At that time, Evan would have far fewer obstacles when he took action.
Moreover, Evan had an unspeakable thought: if the Kingdom of Rune's finances deteriorated further, he would be unable to collect money from the common people.
Then, the ruling group will inevitably turn on each other, and government reforms will inevitably accelerate. This also means that the ceremony of George III may be completed faster, and the showdown between the gods will also be accelerated.
And a new world war is what Evan longs for.
Evan naturally wouldn't reveal this little scheme to Klein. Even if he realized it later, he couldn't blame Evan. After all, Evan had advised him against it many times. He couldn't blame everything on Evan just because he indirectly helped George III.
There's no such logic in the world!
Evan and Klein discussed the matter for several hours, finally finishing late at night.
During this time, it was mainly Evan who was talking and Klein who was listening.
After all, if he wanted to impersonate "Alice Einhorn," he naturally needed to know something about her.
If he wanted to take over the intelligence network of the Fussac Empire, he naturally needed to be familiar with the key members of the network; otherwise, how could he possibly control it so effectively?
"In short, that's pretty much what you need to know. In the next couple of days, familiarize yourself with what I've told you as quickly as possible, and then you can start meeting those key spies."
Don't worry about not having enough time. You know how efficient the government of the Kingdom of Rune is. As long as you complete these tasks within a week, you'll still have enough time.
"After I return, I will also inform the Fussac Empire of these plans through special channels, so that the Fussac Empire can provide you with the necessary assistance through various means."
After talking for several hours, even though Evan was now a demigod, he still felt parched and drank water in large gulps, refusing even his coffee.
After listening to a high density of information for several hours, Klein was also feeling dizzy and couldn't help but press his throbbing temples with his fingers.
After gulping down two large glasses of water, Evan paused for a moment before continuing:
"In addition, you should also think about your plans after this is done."
Just to be on the safe side, I suggest you evacuate Backlund as soon as possible afterward to avoid giving yourself away.
Klein nodded in agreement. Actually, if it weren't for this incident in Backlund, he would have gone overseas to find mermaids after digesting the "Faceless Man" potion, in preparation for his ascension ceremony.
Therefore, leaving Backlund is also part of his future plans.
Moreover, this opportunity to replace Alice Einhorn is an excellent chance for him to play the role.
The target he replaced this time was very special; essentially, it was a role that had been pre-set by someone else.
This is equivalent to asking an actor to reprise a classic role created by another actor. Not only must the actor perform well, but the audience who have seen the classic performance of the former must also be able to see the role without being confused. You can imagine how difficult this is.
Therefore, Klein estimated that if he could successfully impersonate Princess Alice Einhorn, there was a high chance that he would be able to fully digest the Faceless Man potion.
Even if it's just for the 'Master of the Puppet' ritual, he will leave Backlund.
"I've long planned to go overseas. My future ascension to the 'Master of Puppets' ceremony requires a mermaid, so I'm going overseas to find one!"
"Then I suggest you go to the end of Sonia Island. I've heard that some people have heard the song of mermaids there."
Evan had another reason for suggesting that Klein leave Backlund afterward: he wanted Klein to scout ahead of him. After all, Klein would always get there first, so why not use a free scout?
"I understand. Thank you for the information. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best to help!"
Klein was very grateful for Evan's help and unconsciously made a solemn promise for the future.
Hearing this, Evan beamed with joy, feeling that his efforts had finally paid off.
After Evan left, Klein sat at the dining table for a while and then took four steps in reverse and went up into the gray fog to claim it.
"George III is targeting the 'Black Emperor,' George III is targeting the 'Black Emperor.'"
Looking at the rapidly spinning crystal pendant in front of him, Klein got a positive answer, which did not surprise him.
After all, the "Black Emperor" is himself, and this matter is closely related to him, so it is not surprising that he got the corresponding result.
So Klein then wrote down the second entry.
"George III is preparing to become the 'Black Emperor'."
This time, the citrine pendant remained motionless and showed no reaction.
But the lack of response already meant everything—everything Evan said was true.
Having obtained the answer he sought, Klein, seated in the "Fool's" position, gazed at the seemingly timeless bronze palace and the ever-flowing gray mist, his eyes blazing with intense heat.
After leaving the Klein family, Evan returned to his own baron's mansion, took a nice bath to wash away the fatigue of the day, put on his pajamas, and prepared to have a good night's sleep.
Just as Evan was about to drift into a dream, the shadows of the curtains under the moonlight seemed to come alive, flowing slowly and gradually taking shape, eventually forming an old figure.
