Chapter 64 Rules Are Meant to Be Broken!

"How's it going, Captain, what did my uncle say to you?" As soon as he saw Rune walking out of the study, Castretto immediately approached him and asked.

"You said you want me to help you get first place in the sea hunting exam."

"Then, what?" Castretto was like a child, clenching his hands in front of his chest, "Did he promise anything to you?"

Lu En glanced at him and said nothing for the time being.

"No way?" Seeing Lu En's state, Castretto quickly pulled him back, "No, no, no, how can you not give me any benefits? I'll take you back to find him!"

Seeing Castretto's appearance, Rune couldn't help but chuckle.

Is the little fanboy still useful sometimes?

All he wanted to do was take his uncle's wool with him.

I don’t know what Admiral Niels’ expression would be like if he found out.

But seeing the anxious look on Casrito's face, Rune didn't intend to tease him anymore.

"Admiral Niers promised me that if I help you get first place in the sea hunting exam, he will let me go to the Knight Tower for further training."

"What?! Knight Tower?" Castrito, who was still complaining about Rune just now, suddenly changed his face again, completely losing his "knightly" demeanor. "Holy crap! You mean the Knight Tower!"

"Is the Knight Tower very powerful?" Lu En also thought that the Knight Tower would be a good place to practice.

But judging from the appearance of Castrituo, it seemed that he had underestimated this place.

"So Captain Luen, you don't know about Knight Tower"

Castretto took a deep breath,

"In the early days of the establishment of the empire, mages and wizards built their own academies, named wizard tower and wizard tower."

"The mage tower studies spells and scrolls, and the wizard tower studies potions and alchemy."

"Between the two towers, countless talented mages and wizards gathered, turning it into a holy place, which led to a temporary trend in the magic system."

"The knight faction gradually weakened between the two towers. In desperation, three legendary knights took the lead and established the knight tower to specialize in mental, spiritual and combat skills."

"Thus, the empire's three-tower structure was formed, and the organization 'Three Towers Society' was also established."

"According to the decree issued by the 'Emperor', each principality, big family, and big force can send a fixed number of people to the Three Pagodas for further training every three years according to regulations."

"Every three years in Beloberg, there are only five places in the Knight Tower, plus our family's places, there are only seven in total."

After saying that, Castretto looked at Rune with eyes filled with envy.

"I've asked my uncle for a spot many times, but he won't give it to me. It's because of your pride, Captain."

After hearing Castretto's narration, Rune began to pay more and more attention to Admiral Niels' previous promise.

He originally thought that the Knight Tower was just an academy of the Knight Sect in Belloberg.

Now it seems that it is not that simple!

As a principality, Beloberg only has five quotas in three years.

There are only two places for the Vasek family.

This shows how precious this quota is.

"So, we must win first place in this sea hunting test." Lu En said.

In order to enter the Knight Tower, this time I have to try my best.

Casrito nodded and said, "That's natural, but there are only two days before the sea hunting exam. How should we prepare?"

"That's too simple." Rune looked at Castretto, "I need you to do four things."

"Captain, you tell me, I'll remember it." Castretto took out a small notebook with him.

Lu En said: "The first thing is to send a group of people out to investigate the preparations of other young lions."

"Yes." Castretto wrote down, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"The second thing is, all the people who come to invest in you, write down the list and give it to General Niels, let him decide whether to accept the investment."

"That's okay. Although asking for help from my uncle is a bit against the rules, based on the relationship between my uncle and I, we should really consider the impact on the family." Casrito wrote it down again.

"The third thing is, there was a nautical chart on your uncle's table just now. I need you to steal that thing."

"This" Castretto hesitated.

Lu En said calmly: "I have observed that picture before, which records the distribution of various sea beast branches and some small strongholds of the Hydra Church in the Beloberg Sea. You said that he is a general, so he has nothing to do with that picture. What's the point of showing off? That's not his concern."

Casrito suddenly realized, "Captain, you mean, uncle, he did it on purpose."

"Shhh" Lu En signaled to be silent, "It should be easy for you to get that picture. Apart from that thing, if your uncle has any useful props, please take them out together."

"Okay, okay."

"One last thing." Lu En said, "I need you to contact the major from last time. What's his name? Major Abi! Borrow a Beloberg main battleship!"

"Borrow a main battleship?" Castretto's voice rose a little, "Will this be judged as a violation of the rules? The main battleship's combat effectiveness far exceeds that of 'Sequence 8' in terms of ratings."

"This is indeed a problem." Lu En thought about it for a while, "Can we temporarily remove the main gun from the battleship and install it on the ship we are going to go to sea on?"

"No." Castretto shook his head crazily, "This is against the laws of the navy. If you are caught, you will lose your head! Navy main battleships can only cruise in designated areas or be on standby. Special circumstances can be reported and rushed to certain sea areas. support"

Lu En was not surprised by Castretto's answer.

As an important combat force of Beloberg, the main battleship must not leave the battlefield without authorization even in the face of a ceremony like the "Sea Hunting Exam".

This involves the defense and security of Beloberg.

However

Rune narrowed his eyes, "Then, let Major Abby apply for an exercise. The exercise route is the same as our route to the sea."

"Exercise. Will this work?" Kasruto said, "What if others still say we violated the rules in the end?"

"Violate the rules?" Rune looked at Kasruto, "Others don't violate the rules? I don't believe they don't have any hidden hands. Besides, Major Abby violated the exercise ban. What does it have to do with us."

Kasruto's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Yes! Major Abby violated the ban. What does it have to do with me? Captain, I understand again!"

Two days passed in a flash.

In Lisa's alchemy workshop, little Carter was carefully counting the gold and silver nuggets on the ground.

These gold and silver nuggets were melted from the gold cups and silver plates she stole at the Vasek family banquet.

Converted, it was worth five gold coins and more than three hundred silver coins.

She took all of it as her pocket money.

It is said that after the banquet that day, the person in charge was very confused about the theft of the cups and plates, but in the end there was no result.

After all, the people who came were either family descendants or meritorious soldiers.

It seems that no one is bored enough to steal some cups and plates.

In the end, it can only be regarded as "accidental loss" to report the loss.

As for Rune, in the past two days, in addition to replenishing ammunition and rebuilding two "ultimate bombs", he has been studying the gadgets in his hands.

——

[Strange Item]: Dilapidated old pocket watch

[Level]: Epic lv.30

[Ability (Slow Motion)]: Designate a target of sequence 7 or below to make the other party (time delay) for 1.5 seconds; consume 500 spiritual points, and the cooling time is 1 natural day.

[Ability (Energy Burst)]: Every 1 minute, the holder will recover (50) spiritual points.

PS: This pocket watch was collected by Admiral Niels in the early years, but it is now just a souvenir; the surface is badly damaged and it seems to be on the verge of being scrapped. Use it and cherish it.

——

It was two days ago, at the Lion Ceremony, Rune used the "Bandit" ability to steal the epic item from Admiral Niels.

And this item is the most amazing item he has obtained so far, except for the "Innate Wonder Devil Pepper".

Rune tried the "Time Slowdown" ability on Little Carter.

The effect was terrifying.

As a "Shadow Dancer" sequence, Little Carter, who was in full swing, looked like a person in a movie with 80% slow motion under time sluggishness.

And she herself didn't realize it.

The 1.5-second time sluggishness can definitely determine the outcome of a battle, or even life and death, at a critical moment.

Coupled with its second ability "Energy Burst", it ensures that the holder can recover energy during a long battle.

Especially for Rune, whose spiritual value is not enough now, it is just right.

The only shortcoming of this pocket watch may be its durability.

Every time it is used, there will be an extra crack on it.

The pocket watch now can't last long.

So far, the bandit has used it three times, twice with good luck and once with excellent luck.

It has added a lot of help to Rune's growth path.

This also made Rune realize that when breaking through the sequence, having extra spiritual value seems to be a worthwhile thing to do.

After all, the last time the sequence was promoted, it was because of the extra spiritual value that led to the "characteristic promotion", which changed "stealing" to "banditry", and the effect was stronger than imagined.

"Captain, that 'Casruto' is here." After a while, Lisa, who was strolling outside, pushed the door in.

Casruto followed closely behind, "Captain Rune, everything is ready."

"Let's go." Rune didn't have anything else to prepare.

After staying in the city for many days, he had long missed the free wind on the sea.

Beloberg Port, early morning.

Before the sun was completely up, Beloberg Port was already crowded.

Just looking at the number of people, it was at least five times more than the number of people coming and going in the port at this time in the past.

"Sea Hunting Exam", the last fight of the young lions of the Vasek family, attracted countless people's attention.

Kasruto followed Rune to board their ship this time.

A light transport ship with a length of 20 meters, a width of 4 meters, and a draft of 1.2 meters, named "Riptide".

It was equipped with 10 12-pound side string guns and no main guns.

But an alchemical machine called "overload turbine" was attached, which could increase the sailing speed to a certain extent in a short time.

In fact, it was even more simple than Rune's "Survivor" before.

But this was also the highest-level ship allowed by the rules in the Sea Hunting Exam.

As one of the "potential stocks" this time, Rune and others were watched by many eyes.

Including their opponents.

Rune, Kasruto, and Little Carter returned to the captain's room and unfolded the sea chart stolen from Admiral Niels.

"Captain, I have studied this map for two days and have basically determined the itinerary."

Casruituo picked up a pencil and began to sketch on the map. "Look, in fifteen days, we will start from the port of Beloberg. In one day, we can reach the giant squid area, and then in two days, we will go to the 'Pearl Fish' sea area."

"After that, we will go all the way forward and spend a week hunting the 'Deep Blue Whale', and the rest of the time will return."

"These three prey are qualified. It will be difficult for others to catch up."

After listening silently, Luen did not express his opinion at the first time, but asked: "Do you know the information and routes of the main competitors?"

"I have collected some, but it is not very accurate." Kasruituo said, "The current main competitors are Liad, John, and Luo Fushan. I heard that their subordinates have dozens of Sequence 8 extraordinary people participating in the sea hunt. But we are not bad either, with fifteen Sequence 8."

"Well." Luen nodded, "Next, listen to my command."

"You say." Kasruituo is ready.

Rune said: "Send seven weaker Sequence 8 Transcendents, according to your plan, to lead the main force to the giant squid area and the pearl fish area for sea hunting, and then send five stronger Sequence 8 Transcendents to quietly go directly to the deep blue whale area for sea hunting."

"You mean, separate?"

"Yes, for this operation, we can't just consider how much seafood we have hunted, but also how much we can bring back." Rune said.

Casruituo thought for a moment, "Then there are three Sequence 8 Transcendents left."

"Let them follow the three main competitors, keep a distance, and inform us of the information at any time."

"Okay." Castruituo immediately went to give the order, and his ships left the port immediately.

When he returned to the captain's room, he remembered something, "Captain. What about us? What are we going to do?"

Rune looked at Castruituo with a smile, "They hunt seafood, and we... hunt lion cubs."

The sea outside Beloberg was calm.

Liard's fleet had a total of fifteen ships, with a total of 20 Sequence 8s to assist.

He was full of confidence in this sea hunt.

Ever since he was shot away by Kasruto last time, he had no appetite for two days.

Finally realized.

What a bullshit rule.

Rules are meant to be broken!

Only the one who stands to the end is the winner!

So he also brought some exclusive props for this sea hunt, as well as several scrolls that clearly violated the rules and were secretly hidden.

As for other competitors, he also had a corresponding understanding.

Especially Kasruto, that guy still carried out the sea hunt step by step. Did he think that he could win with a sea map?

Overthinking!

On his side, he had made sufficient plans!

He would definitely be able to catch the most valuable seafood.

The sea breeze blew on his face, that was the breath of victory.

Liard was full of confidence, and the ship had already entered the designated sea area.

At this moment, someone came to report from the side.

"Report to Lieutenant Liad, a pirate ship was found fifteen nautical miles from us on the side!"

Liad frowned, "This is so close to the port of Beloberg, how can there be a pirate ship? Too bold, intercept it directly! Speaking of which, this pirate can also be considered a 'sea cargo', right? I hope it is a pirate leader with a big bounty!"

After he finished speaking, the people below hesitated, "That... Behind the pirate ship, there is also a fleet of Beloberg chasing!"

"Huh? There is already a fleet chasing?" Liad immediately set up a telescope to see who took action before him.

However, the picture in the telescope made him more and more confused.

Because not far behind the pirate ship, it turned out to be Beloberg's main battleship!

And the distance between the pirate ship and the main battleship is not far.

According to common sense, the main battleship can stop such a pirate ship with one shot.

But why did both sides just chase and not fire?

Look at the gun barrel of the main battleship again, it is being adjusted, and it seems to be preparing to fire.

Well, but the angle seems a bit wrong, as if it is facing his own fleet?

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Thinking of this, a horrifying thought suddenly popped up in Liad's mind.

No way.

It's over!

This main battleship is coming for him!
