Chapter 738: Black Skull General

Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Black Skull General

Shu Feng smiled slightly. "Of course, not a problem. It’s my honor to host such a beautiful young lady."

Shu Feng’s Charm was as high as 19,000 points, allowing him to easily win the favor of all sorts of people. This was the benefit of high Charm.

Enna sat down gracefully across from Shu Feng.

Enna asked, "May I ask your name?"

Shu Feng said, "My name is Paul. You can also call me Paul the Legendary Mage."

"A Legendary Mage? Mr. Paul, you can’t just use a title like Legendary Mage so casually. Only someone who is publicly acknowledged to possess the power of a Legendary Mage and has the achievements to back it up is qualified to be called one. Claiming to be a Legendary Mage will only bring you a lot of trouble."

Tur walked over from a nearby table, shot Shu Feng a glance, and sat down rather rudely next to Enna. With a hint of hostility, he said, "Hello, Mr. Paul. I’m a friend of Enna’s. You don’t mind if I sit here, do you?"

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "I don’t mind."

’Having a few minor incidents during the journey is actually quite interesting,’ Shu Feng thought.

In fact, just as Tur had said, the title of Legendary Mage couldn’t be used carelessly. If someone was discovered to be a fraud using the title of Legendary Mage to swindle others, many Mages would take it upon themselves to suppress the impostor.

The fate of those suppressed impostors was usually grim. They were either demoted to slaves or became test subjects for various dangerous experiments.

"Hello, Mr. Paul. I’m Susan, and this is Ah Lang. May we sit here?"

"Of course!"

Enna was clearly the center of this small circle of nobles. As soon as she came over, the other three followed.

Enna said, "Paul, I know you’re very strong. But you still shouldn’t make that kind of joke. Many old-fashioned Mages will become hostile, or even attack you, over a joke like that."

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "Alright."

The group soon fell into idle chatter.

Through their conversation, Shu Feng learned that Enna came from a Magic Noble Clan of the Engman Empire. Her background was extraordinary, and she had a cheerful and lively personality. She loved making friends and had excellent social skills.

This time, Enna and her group were traveling to the Molun Islands for a vacation.

The Engman Empire had been launching attacks on the Molun Islands for years. Although their forces couldn’t reach the deepest parts of the archipelago, they had occupied many of the outer islands.

Many of the outer islands of the Molun Islands had been developed by Engman Empire capital, becoming sources of Gold, diamonds, and spices, as well as vacation Holy Lands.

In addition, there were many primeval forests within the Molun Islands. These forests were home to numerous Demons and all sorts of precious Cultivation Resources.

Many Mages were drawn here, venturing into those primeval forests to hunt Demons and search for precious Cultivation Resources.

Other Mages were recruited by the various Slave Capture Corps to hunt the natives throughout the Molun Islands and enslave them.

In the Engman Empire, hunting the natives of the Molun Islands was an encouraged practice. The Empire even had public markets for native slaves.

Every year, a steady stream of native slaves was captured and sent to work on the various farms within the Engman Empire.

If one of those Slave Capture Corps could conquer an island and swear allegiance to the Engman Empire, they could become nobles of the Empire.

It was precisely because of this policy that many powerful individuals from the Engman Empire came to the Molun Islands to fight the natives, attempting a meteoric rise to become real fief nobles of the Engman Empire.

On the front lines in the Molun Islands, battles between Slave Capture Corps and the local natives occurred almost daily, while countless schemes and conspiracies brewed in the background.

"Look!! What’s that?"

"A pirate ship!! That’s a pirate ship!!"

"That’s the flagship of the Pirate General, the Black Skull General!!"

"..."

Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the crowd. People cast various reconnaissance spells to look into the distance.

In the distance, a fleet of pirate ships was speeding toward them. The leading ship was a hundred meters long, constructed entirely from black steelwood. Its hull was engraved with all kinds of Magic Curse Seals, and it flew a Black Skull pirate flag.

That pirate ship was the flagship of the Black Skull General, one of the Five Great Pirate Generals of the Gulondo World.

Along the shipping routes to the Molun Islands, countless merchant ships had been plundered by the Black Skull General. All who resisted were slaughtered, and those who didn’t dare to fight back were sold off as slaves.

The Black Skull General himself had the cultivation of a Great Mage and was proficient in various types of Magic. His flagship, the *Black Skull*, was a bizarre and powerful Magic Ship. On the open sea, even many Legendary Mages were not necessarily his match.

"The Pirate General, Black Skull General!!"

The moment Tur saw the flag in the distance, his face paled slightly. A look of Fear flashed in his eyes, and his body trembled faintly.

The Black Skull General was vicious and cruel, and countless powerful experts had died at his hands. He had tortured and killed many Mages, making him one of the most savage pirates! He was also the one pirate everyone dreaded encountering at sea.

Fear also flashed in the eyes of Susan and Ah Lang. Although they were both Mages, compared to a terrifyingly fierce man like the Black Skull General, they seemed utterly vulnerable.

Enna took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "Don’t panic!! We’re protected by the Great Mage Canales!! We might not even come into conflict with the Black Skull General!!"

’That Paul fellow is certainly calm!!’

Enna’s gaze swept over Shu Feng. Seeing him still leisurely savoring his fine wine, her opinion of him rose a little higher.

A Great Mage wearing a blue Magic Robe and holding a Magic Staff, exuding a terrifying aura, walked onto a high platform on the *Sea Rose*. His gaze, sharp as an eagle’s, was fixed on the Black Skull General.

Behind Canales followed two Demon Masters.

One Great Mage and two Demon Masters—this was the ultimate combat power of the *Sea Rose*. The three of them were enough to sweep away the vast majority of pirates on this route.

"Black Skull General, this is the Engman Empire’s *Sea Rose*!! Get lost! This is no place for lowly pirates like you to meddle."

Canales looked down on the Black Skull General with cold indifference, a flash of disgust in his eyes as he yelled sternly.

"Canales, you alone can’t stop me! Your head will become part of my collection!!"

The Black Skull General gave a sinister smile. The *Black Skull* suddenly spewed out countless streams of black energy, and a pair of black skeletal wings emerged from the sides of its hull and flapped once.
