Chapter 22 Even in the Brutal and Dark Middle Ages

Even in the brutal and dark Middle Ages, such cruel torture could only be used by black magic practitioners classified as "heretics"! Looking at Stephen's ferocious, grimacing expression before his death, Fang Senyan sighed and said,

"Anyway, we avenged him. By the way, you should be called Charlie, right? How are the others?"

The pirate Charlie hesitated, glancing at Fang Senyan a few times, then suddenly knelt down and said,

"In my most desperate moment, I swore to the Lord that whoever came to save me would gain my loyalty until my last breath! Captain Rock from the mysterious East, from now on, you are my master!"

Fang Senyan was stunned for a moment, but soon received a prompt from the Nightmare Imprint:

"You rescued the plot character, the pirate Charlie, from the brink of death. Because of his oath, the pirate Charlie is forced to become your servant." "While you remain in the Nightmare Space and the Nightmare World, the servant will continuously consume your Universal Points as its salary, not counting after you return to the real world. The higher the level of the servant, the more Universal Points are consumed." "This servant of yours is combat-oriented. Once he dies, he will drop 10 points of loyalty and his current level will randomly decrease by 1-2 levels, but he can be resurrected by consuming a certain amount of Universal Points without needing potential points. The Universal Points spent are directly related to the level and equipment of the servant." "If the servant's loyalty drops below the defection standard after death, then he cannot be resurrected." "Your current charisma is 8 points. When your servant's loyalty is below 80 points, he will show signs of passive slowdown, and below 70 points, he may defect." "Note: The opportunity to acquire a servant is quite rare, please cherish this opportunity."

"Do you want to take this servant? Yes/No?" Fang Senyan hesitated slightly, but still chose Yes, mainly because he was moved by the sentence "The opportunity to acquire a servant is quite rare, please cherish this opportunity." After choosing to take him, the pirate Charlie automatically stood behind him with his hands down, looking very obedient. Then the Nightmare Imprint popped up with a series of prompts:

"Warning: Your servant's loyalty to you is 55 points, which is a dangerous value." "Warning: Your servant's loyalty to you is 55 points, which is a dangerous value." "Please increase his loyalty to more than 70 points within the 24-hour protection period, otherwise, the servant may run away after 24 hours." Looking at this prompt, Fang Senyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. What pirates like are nothing more than money, women, and strong alcohol. Once this mission is over, it won't be difficult to increase his loyalty. Fang Senyan didn't know the ability of this pirate Charlie, so he continued to check the guy's profile.

Pirate Charlie (Combat Servant): This is a common type of humanoid creature in the Pirates of the Caribbean world. Currently level 4, experience 1351/5000. After the level increases, his four-dimensional attributes will also increase, and he will gain one potential point to improve his skill level.

Current Loyalty: 55 points. (There are 23 hours and 49 minutes until the recruitment protection period expires.) Basic Attributes:

Strength 8 points, Agility 11 points, Constitution 8 points, Perception 4 points, Charisma 10 points, Intelligence 5 points, Spirit 5 points. Basic Melee Lv1, Basic Stamina Lv1.

Basic Ability Advanced: Light Firearm Proficiency. With this ability, you can skillfully use light firearms.

Special Ability: Pirate Lv1 (Passive). Movement speed/attack speed on board increased by 15%, all attributes +2. Special Ability: Weather-Beaten Lv1 (Passive). Creatures with this ability have a maximum health increase of 150 points.

Special Ability: (Active). Using this ability will consume 33% of Pirate Charlie's maximum health and increase the movement speed of the sea vehicle by 15% for a duration of ten minutes.

Equipment: Pirate Sailor Shirt (Strength +1). Equipment: Pirate Sailor Pants (Charisma +1). Weapon: Sailor Scimitar (Attack Power 5~9). This is a common scimitar in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, which can be used for combat and cutting sails and other purposes.

Weapon: Musket (Attack Power 8~20. Charging). This primitive firearm can often exert unexpected power. Charging: In a non-combat state, the musket's next critical hit chance will increase with time, increasing by 1% per minute, up to 50%. The extra critical hit chance disappears after firing.

Looking at Pirate Charlie's information, Fang Senyan felt that this servant, the pirate Charlie, was quite mediocre. It should be said that he still has an advantage at sea, and he is very interested in the "Charging" effect of the musket. Although this ability can only be used once in almost every battle, it is still quite tempting for Fang Senyan, who currently lacks burst damage methods.

After Fang Senyan scavenged the bodies of the three dead black guards, he found that he couldn't get anything of value. They only dropped some gray items such as "sword", which added up to 400 Universal Points. Such a stingy drop rate was probably related to the fact that these three black guards were in an "injured" state when they were attacked by Fang Senyan. Fang Senyan hastily bandaged the wounds on his body, and after watching his health slowly recover, he turned to ask the pirate Charlie:

"Do you know where Scarface Henry and the others went?" Charlie was previously Scarface Henry's follower, and could even be said to be his confidant. After Fang Senyan asked, he immediately hesitated and hesitated to answer. Fang Senyan suddenly felt a little annoyed, and couldn't help but say in a stern voice:

"You have to understand your identity! Since you are willing to be my servant, then you should put the interests of your master first!" Charlie immediately choked, and immediately said helplessly:

"I was walking along with Boss Henry at the time, and suddenly I felt that a room was shining with gold, and a box full of gold coins was overturned inside. The gold coins were scattered everywhere, and everyone rushed up to snatch them... Then suddenly the bottom of the room sank! Everyone was thrown dizzy, and many brothers were stabbed to death by the mechanisms below. Then those bastards ambushed us in the dark, and everyone frantically attacked in the chaos but accidentally injured their own people. In the end, we got separated and lost our way in the dark. Stephen and I groped forward, and ended up in a place full of corpses, and then... we were captured." Fang Senyan listened carefully, but felt that Charlie's eyes were flickering. He immediately knew that this servant was hiding something—in fact, this was perfectly normal. Fang Senyan's charisma was already low, and his personality was not compatible with Charlie's, so even if the pirate Charlie became his servant because of the oath, his loyalty would definitely not be high. And before that, the pirate Charlie was still Scarface Henry's confidant, so of course, he would be hesitant at this time. Fang Senyan was about to force him to reveal the truth when he received a related prompt from the Nightmare Imprint:

"Warning: Your combat servant, the pirate Charlie, has had his loyalty reduced by another 5 points."

"Warning: Your combat servant, the pirate Charlie, has had his loyalty reduced by another 5 points."

"Please increase the loyalty of your combat servant as soon as possible, otherwise, once the loyalty drops to half of the initial loyalty, even the recruitment protection state will become invalid." The pirate Charlie's initial loyalty was only 55 points, so half of that would be 28 points. A flash of light flashed in Fang Senyan's eyes, and he relaxed his expression and smiled:

"Poor Charlie, you shouldn't have escaped from the fear brought by those damned heretics, right? Why are you so nervous? The reason why I want to find Scarface Henry is just to join him as soon as possible so everyone can take care of each other, right? In this cursed castle, we should be in the same boat! Do you still want to fall into the hands of those guys?" Obviously, Fang Senyan's last sentence played a huge role. When the pirate Charlie thought of the previous intestinal torture, his whole body began to tremble violently. He hurriedly said:

"Okay, master, let's go quickly."

Fang Senyan looked at the surrounding environment, and his gaze fell on the pirate Charlie again. Obviously, the pirate Charlie avoided a very important question, which was the content that the three black guards had desperately interrogated before! However, he didn't intend to expose this fact at this time—because it was very likely to cause Charlie's loyalty to decline rapidly and escape. For Fang Senyan, this guy still has more important value. Before that, he still needs Charlie to stay by his side. As for what happens after that, the corners of Fang Senyan's mouth curled up coldly. For him, a person who started to make a living alone at the age of fourteen, a weak and fickle servant like the pirate Charlie would not be taken to heart.

"By the way, tell me what the place full of corpses is like?"

Fang Senyan suddenly asked:

As for information that did not involve Scarface Henry, Charlie still knew everything and said everything. It turned out that there have been three pirate groups that have entered this castle so far, but none of them are as large as the Bell and Goblet. There were also many of Charlie's acquaintances among these guys, and they all died here. The corpses of those who died were also collected by the black guards and piled together, and the blood vessels on their wrists and necks were cut open to drain the blood. He didn't know what it was used for specifically. After Fang Senyan listened, he was thoughtful. He knew that there were many witchcraft and magic circles driven by blood in black witchcraft, but he didn't say much, just silently moved forward.
