Deep in the Kundun Parish, a primitive wooden wheel cart without alchemical shock absorbers is slowly moving forward under the drag of a slow donkey.
The road here is bumpy, and every time it passes a pit, the old donkey will become more tired. There are blacksmith shops everywhere inside the Kundun Church. The carts pulling coal and iron ore have damaged the road. In addition, this place is too remote and not worth maintaining, making the road condition very poor.
The Kundun Church imitated the steam turbine of the alchemist, but did not imitate the steam locomotive, because the church advocates suffering, and the steam locomotive can make people's journey comfortable, which the church absolutely cannot tolerate.
Only suffering, only suffering that approaches the endurance limit of believers, can make believers realize the kindness of the God of Craftsmen or other gods. It is the gods who bring faith and prevent people from living too painfully. It is also the gods who build heaven for believers so that believers will not suffer as much after death as when they are alive.
On the cart, Jack was swaying, looking forward with lifeless eyes. He did not urge the old donkey, and the old donkey could rest as long as he wanted.
He remembered the panic feeling when he escaped from here decades ago, sitting on the cart. The whip never stopped at that time, hitting the ass of a donkey he threw at him.
He lost his title, no longer cotton Jack, he turned back to the believer Jack who was expelled from the temple because he always raised questions.
When the oracle deprived him of his divine power, when the oracle punished him, he understood that he had completely become a fish on the chopping board.
Jack's destination was his hometown, a remote mountain village. He would become a priest of his hometown, not allowed to leave the village, and not allowed to go to the high-level temple to pray to the God of Craftsmen.
After walking on the cart for more than ten days, he finally saw the village on the hillside.
There are about 10 houses scattered on the mountainside, proving that there are 10 households here, and Jack will be the 11th household here.
The previous level 1 priest died of old age in his low house, and he will inherit the low house and the priest position of this village.
Two children in the village saw a white-haired old man climbing up the mountainside, and hurried back to the village, calling for adults to welcome the new priest.
Soon, all 10 households in the village knelt at the entrance of the village to welcome their new priest. None of these people knew Jack. In fact, Jack was here. His home was the third wooden house from the west. Now that house was inherited by a relative he didn't know, and he didn't want to go back.
From the busy pirate port to the village on the mountainside, Jack didn't feel uncomfortable at all, as if there was no difference between the two places.
Only his messy white hair proved that he turned gray overnight and became old now.
There is no temple here, not even a blacksmith shop or a blast furnace. Jack sits on a stone at the entrance of the village, ready to spend the rest of his life.
Only when he occasionally looks towards the direction of Saragu Sea, the gleam in his eyes, the look that can scare away a few children, can prove that he was once a famous pirate on Saragu Sea.
Lowering his head, Cotton Jack wondered if Drake could find a good owner for his legacy.
Yes, he is still alive, but the legacy has been handed over.
In the distant Saragu Sea, Drake suddenly found Rudolph: "Captain Furnace, you don't have to feel guilty."
Rudolph was a little confused, guilty?
It's inexplicable, what should he feel guilty about? He never feels guilty, this alien world is not worth his guilt.
Drake continued, "At the Pirate Conference, your joining helped the Pirate King Paulie turn the situation around. The pirates stood on the opposite side of the evil god cult. Now the big pirates have been hit by the evil god cult. You don't need to feel guilty about this."
The atmosphere was set at this point. Drake's eyes were so sincere. Rudolph didn't feel guilty at all, but seeing that Drake comforted him, he showed some guilt.
"Thank you for your comfort, Drake. I feel much better after you said that."
Rudolph didn't think he had done anything wrong in pushing the Pirate Conference to fight against the evil god cult. Drake's comfort made Rudolph feel a little guilty. Drake thought too well of him.
"After I was captured by the Church of the Trapped, Cotton Jack found me in the prison of the Trapped. He said that the evil god cult did not even trust him and Bare-chested Miri, and it was only a matter of time before we, the great pirates, were attacked by the evil god cult.
I now understand that it is precisely because we are against the evil god cult that the Elba Alchemy Council and the royal nobles are willing to take in the great pirates. And the evil god cult has never included the item of recruiting pirates in its plan.
The pirates were attacked, and it was not the fault of Pirate King Bao Li and you."
It was the resolution of the Pirate Assembly to fight against the evil god cult, proving that among the pirates, there are more people who are oriented to the North Continent than those who are oriented to the South Continent. Rudolf himself is very flexible. If the resolution of the Pirate Assembly is more likely to fight against the North Continent, then he will not inherit the seat of Red Beard. It is precisely because the resolution of the Pirate Assembly is more likely to fight against the evil god cult that he came forward.
Drake took out a package and said, "This is the legacy of Cotton Jack. It belongs to us now. I hope this legacy will be useful to you."
"Legacy? Didn't you say that Cotton Jack was exiled to a remote area of the Trapped Parish? Did he know that he would be secretly executed by the church?"
"He won't be secretly executed. After all, he is a level 6 priest." Drake said, "For Cotton Jack, his divine power was easily taken away by the oracle. Everything he had as a great pirate was taken away by the church. The parish he founded with great effort also became a part of the Trapped Church. Although he can breathe, he is already a dead man, a living dead man."
For a man, the death of his career and ideals represents his social death. Cotton Jack is already a dead man, a dead man who cannot resist, a dead man who can only wait to die.
Rudolph opened the package, but found that there was nothing inside.
"This is Cotton Jack's trapped prison. You have to use the trapped power of faith to open it. No other way will work."
Rudolph turned around and shouted: "Cooper! Find me a trapped priest's body!"
Drake asked in confusion: "Who is Cooper?"
"Cooper, Cooper is the Green Skull. The Green Skull's real name is Cooper. You can call him Cooper in the future."
"No, the Green Skull's real name is Laszlo, not Cooper."
"Oh? Really? Green Skull There really is a name, well, it's not important. You've been in Saragu Sea for a long time, you're right, Green Skull's real name might be Laszlo, but now Green Skull's real name is Cooper. "
Drake instantly guessed a possibility: "The real Green Skull is dead? Your friend Cooper replaced Green Skull's identity?"
"Almost. I have to say that you can escape from the trapped church, and your IQ is quite high."
Soon, Cooper came to the deck with the body of a trapped priest.
Drake looked at Green Skull again, and his mood was different. This Green Skull was not the Green Skull that Saragu Sea was familiar with, and he had changed.
No wonder, no wonder Green Skull's style of behavior was very different from before after he reappeared. It turned out that he had changed. Other pirates thought that Green Skull had been imprisoned for more than ten years and had mental problems. After his comeback, Green Skull was so quiet and scary, not like the original Green Skull at all.
"Are the Level 5 trapped priest corpses enough?"
"Enough, you talk as if you have a Level 6 trapped priest corpse."
Listening to the two people's jokes, Drake immediately caught a possible new situation: "Is Cooper capable of controlling a Level 6 corpse?"
"Or else you'd say you're smart, yes, Cooper has been promoted to a Level 6 zombie."
Drake shook his head. The two big pirates were too strong. They were promoted one after another and became Level 6 apostles.
With the power of faith from the trapped priest corpse, the cotton Jack's trapped prison was successfully activated.
After the cotton cloth came into contact with the power of faith, it suddenly expanded and turned into a round hollow ball wrapped in cotton cloth.
Jack, who was thousands of kilometers away, suddenly looked up and looked towards the direction of Saragu Sea from his messy white hair. Drake found the owner of the legacy for him so quickly?
