A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1211: I’m Just a Priest

The sound carried a sense of levity, coming from the Star Port of Demon Puppet Island, imbued with a thick flavor of schadenfreude. freewёbnoνel.com

Surrounded by jagged rocks and an endless sea.

In the sea.

The vast fleet of the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang was docked, one black starship after another rested steadily on the water. As for why they weren’t docked in the defendable near-Earth orbit, Baiyu had no idea.

He initially speculated that the location of Demon Puppet Star was very special.

Perhaps.

There might not be any near-Earth orbit.

Now they weren’t necessarily on a planet, but possibly in some special place.

"Let’s go, all of you follow me."

At this moment.

The man standing in front of the Star Port entrance, dressed like a terracotta warrior in stone armor, walked over slowly.

He was holding a long knife.

Exuding murderous intent.

Baiyu silently followed behind him, already in this situation, he could only make the best of it.

If the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang wanted to act.

They would have done so already.

At this moment, their actions certainly had other motives.

After the commotion on the ship, only sixty or so people were left.

This sixty people.

Were firmly controlled by the people from Demon Puppet Star, only able to follow them forward, any slight movement would result in a warning.

And an old chap tried to resist.

In the end, he was subdued on the spot, and it’s unclear where he was sent.

Judging by the looks of it, the outcome wouldn’t be good.

Soon everyone was brought into a room where a mid-level officer of the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang was seated.

The pirates inside the gang had a clear hierarchy.

Pirates of different levels had different emblems on their clothes.

Ordinary pirates naturally had no emblems, but mid-level officers, the backbone of the pirate gang, could have two "Demon Puppet" patterns embroidered on their clothes.

Higher-level pirates could have more embroidered.

"Name?"

"Age?"

"From which planet? Specific birthplace? Level of education received? Current occupation?"

The man recorded the information of everyone on paper as he asked.

The crowd could only respond.

Beside him stood a puppet doll, about twenty centimeters in size, its left hand raised an X sign, and its right hand held a √ sign.

Whenever the man asked a question.

The puppet would raise its left or right hand.

Depending on the situation, if the person being questioned lied, the puppet would raise the X, and if there was no lie.

Then it would raise the sign with a √.

Although the principle of lie detection was unknown, it was clearly related to Extraordinary Power, and it was possible that the puppet was even a Sealing Object.

Taking a deep breath.

Baiyu walked up to the man’s seat.

"Name?"

"Geman."

Baiyu said solemnly.

The puppet instantly raised the sign with an X.

"Hehe, a name is just a code, nothing serious. But this is your first lie.

If you’re caught again.

Then don’t blame me."

The man chuckled and continued, "From where?"

Upon hearing this question.

Baiyu’s heart slightly moved, perhaps he could use this puppet to ascertain certain things.

"From a planet that has been destroyed."

Beep.

At this point, the puppet raised its left hand again, the red X highly conspicuous.

Baiyu felt a surge of joy.

Canglan Star wasn’t destroyed!

Even if several Evil Gods joined forces, Canglan Star still survived, a blessing amidst misfortune.

But. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

The questioning man furrowed his brows, his gaze stern, silently locking eyes with Baiyu.

"Kid, do you have a death wish?"

He stood up viciously, his eyes grim, as if looking at a corpse.

However.

Baiyu smiled and said, "No, I’ll definitely cooperate from now on, rest assured."

The man eyed Baiyu’s Priest’s Robe, pondering something, then surprisingly sat back down, and said gravely, "Occupation?"

"A priest."

Baiyu smiled and said to him, "A priest of the Scarred Church."

While speaking.

He picked up the emblem of the Scarred Church from his chest, revealing a hint of a fanatical expression.

Although it was an act.

It was enough to convince these pirates.

Indeed.

The man had no doubts about Baiyu’s identity, furrowing his brows, he said in a deep voice, "A follower of Scars then, wait over here.

Later, someone will come for you.

You’re considered special talent, perform well and you might join our Demon Puppet Pirate Gang, with endless potential."

The man spoke with pride when he mentioned the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang.

Clearly.

To this veteran pirate, the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang was everything.

Baiyu waited quietly.

Before long.

A burly man barged in, his gaze swept the room, then he approached Baiyu, "You’re the priest?"

"Yes, just call me Geman."

Baiyu replied.

"Follow me, I’ll take you to Captain Black Shark."

The stout man forged ahead, squeezing through the crowd with Baiyu, heading towards the depths of the Star Port.

Leaving through the back door of the Star Port.

Only then did Baiyu step into the true scope of Demon Puppet Star.

What greeted his eyes.

Was unexpectedly a large city.

The scene was bathed in glowing lights, bustling with pedestrians, full of life, entirely unlike a pirate gang’s base.

More like a metropolitan space city.

Baiyu gradually understood what kind of foundation the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang had as one of the top twelve pirate gangs in the Galaxy.

They might truly have a planet!

The gang’s leader was the monarch of this planet, and his captains were the island’s officials.

The scale was vast!

Baiyu followed the stout man to a building about a hundred stories high, the glass curtain wall reflecting the glaring lights of the Black Night.

After passing through the access control.

The man took Baiyu in the elevator to the fiftieth floor, then knocked on the office door.

Pushing the door open.

The man dressed entirely in stone armor who had led them off the ship was buried in a mountain of paperwork at a desk.

"Master Wuren, this is a priest from the Scarred Church."

The guide said respectfully.

The man raised his head, his eyes resting on Baiyu for a moment, then nodded, "Wait over here for a while, there should be more people."

Baiyu noticed.

Besides him, there were five other people in the room.

And judging by appearances.

They seemed to be from various specialized fields.

Baiyu sat quietly on the waiting seat, waiting for others to arrive.

About an hour passed.

People arrived one after another in the office.

Finally.

A total of ten people gathered, the man in stone armor finally stood up, took a deep breath: "Alright, let’s begin."
