"This is news I just heard. Do you have any thoughts?"
Roy King's words struck Luo En's heart like a heavy hammer.
To be honest, the moment he heard the news, he understood it immediately: Disease Maiden Tracy must be looking for him!
Immediately after, a strong sense of vigilance surged up. He subconsciously glanced at Roy King, unsure why he would tell him this news or what his purpose was.
After all, that was ten thousand pounds! A huge sum of money enough to tempt anyone. Would this mild-mannered fellow also be tempted, wanting to use this news to test him?
After a brief moment of surprise, Luo En quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, putting on a nonchalant, even slightly curious, expression.
"Oh—is that so?"
"But it has nothing to do with me."
He shrugged, saying in a relaxed tone, "While the surname Brando is uncommon, it's normal for people to have the same name. Besides, it's possible that the 'Brando' who's been put on a bounty is just using a fake name."
"Is that so?" Roy King asked curiously.
Luo En pointed to himself, smiled, and then said in a self-deprecating tone, "Of course, how could a new adventurer like me, who just arrived not long ago, be worth ten thousand pounds?"
Roy King looked at his calm demeanor, nodded slightly, and outwardly accepted the explanation.
"Hmm… perhaps."
Then, he politely escorted Luo En to the door. Watching Luo En's hurried departure, Roy King breathed a sigh of relief.
He has such a big problem now, he probably won't have time to look for me anymore.
After getting far from Roy King's house and turning into an empty alley, Luo En pulled up his collar, subconsciously covering his face.
He took a coin from his pocket and tossed it up.
The coin tumbled in the air, finally landing with a 'thwack' on the back of his hand—heads up.
It's true! This meant Roy King's news was true.
"Damn it! Is Tracy really going that far?!" Luo En leaned against the cold wall, complaining wildly in his heart, "To silence me, she's willing to spend ten thousand pounds to put a bounty on me? How am I worthy of so much money?!"
I'm only a Sequence 7!
Danitz, a great pirate who has been at sea for many years, only has a bounty of just over three thousand pounds! Am I now worth three Danitzes?!"
Luo En knew very well how tempting a fat piece of meat a person with insufficient strength but a huge bounty would be in such a chaotic and special time. Ten thousand pounds was enough to drive all the pirates and bounty Hunters around Bayam insane.
No, it's even possible that Official personnel would be tempted; they have more intelligence sources and are more dangerous than ordinary adventurers and pirates.
Moreover, the Official personnel in the colonies didn't have such high morals.
Luo En even considered using that one-time "Disguise" charm immediately.
"No, I need to calm down. It hasn't reached such a dire point yet."
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"This news should have just come out, and not many people know about it yet. I still have time."
After a brief deliberation, he went to several hidden black markets in the city, selling some inconspicuous Beyonder materials for a sum of cash.
Then, he bought some things along the way, and finally, he circled around the city several times, confirming that no one was following him, before quietly returning to the secret small hotel where he and Danitz were hiding.
"Lachi, guard the door for me. Don't let anyone in, no matter who it is." After opening the door, Luo En found that Danitz had not yet returned, so he ordered the Orange Cat still lying on the bed.
Lachi lazily got up from the bed, somewhat confused by his owner's reaction, but seeing Luo En looking dusty and tired,
He still jumped off the bed and, with small steps, obediently went to guard the door for his owner.
Then, Luo En locked the door and set up a Spiritual Wall.
Things had come to this; there was no turning back.
From the Block 3's portable space, he took out the Beyonder characteristic of the Calamity Priest, as well as the auxiliary materials Roy King had given him.
He used the coin to divine again, confirming that the materials Roy King provided were fine, then he no longer hesitated.
Following the method he learned from the captain, he took a glass, mixed the auxiliary materials in order, and finally,
He slowly integrated the Beyonder characteristic of the Calamity Priest into it.
The liquid churned in the glass, changing colors, and finally transformed into a deep potion, seemingly containing countless colors.
"No matter what, improving my strength is always the right thing to do. Becoming a Sequence Six should give me a certain level of self-preservation," Luo En thought.
After his spiritual intuition showed no strong reaction, Luo En picked up the cup.
After hesitating for two seconds, he drank the liquid inside in one gulp.
"Ah—the taste is as bad as ever."
Without further complaining about the taste of the potion, Luo En quickly checked his own state.
Calamity Priest—
There it was, Luo En found a lot of related Beyonder knowledge in his mind.
Spiritual Storm relies on one's own spirituality, which is higher than other Pathways, to directly affect the opponent's spirit body, bringing a certain degree of dizziness or mental confusion.
If the enemy enters the latter state, they will be very prone to making mistakes, allowing the calamity to snowball until it devours them. "Active skill. Finally, I have an active skill," Luo En sighed in his heart.
Before he could catch his breath, more information swept in.
A Calamity Priest will passively encounter various calamities, but they can be foreseen, allowing for preparation in advance to find ways to eliminate or mitigate the effects.
At the same time, they can also actively attract various calamities, involving targets or enemies, while relying on their extraordinary luck to avoid most dangers and launch attacks amidst the chaos.
"This… this is too metaphysical, and there's also a debuff that attracts calamity. Even if I can sense it in advance, there's always a chance of an accident. Didn't the original owner of this characteristic die in a shipwreck?"
Luo En remembered the Calamity Priest who died in a shipwreck and didn't have much confidence in this so-called ability to foresee and prepare.
"A useless ability." After all the information had surfaced, this was his evaluation of the Calamity Priest.
Aside from other things, judging by Luo En's current situation, this ability was truly useless. He was currently under a bounty, and the Calamity Priest not only didn't have the ability to avert calamity but also had a debuff that attracted disaster.
Just this point alone made it difficult to accept. This was completely different from his initial idea. Moreover, the intensity and effect of the active skill, Spiritual Storm, also seemed unsatisfactory.
"Although I know this Pathway is very metaphysical, is it that hard to cast lightning or spray fire?" Luo En complained weakly.
"Wait!"
Just as he was trying to rein in his overflowing spirituality, a familiar sense of abnormality came again.
The potion was digested?
Having had previous experience, Luo En was certain this was the feeling of the potion being digested, and it was the feeling of being completely digested!
"Calamity Priest, Calamity…" Luo En repeatedly pondered the name.
"Could it be—the thunderstorm that destroyed that primitive island."
A spell, a destruction. Both calamity and priest.
"And the bounty should also be considered a type of calamity."
A moment later, Luo En sighed.
"Fate is truly wondrous!"
