Carlotta's Daily Report-Chapter 85: Lion Key

As it turned out, the Pirate King was really quite frugal. Back when the Pirate King fought against the Imperial Navy, it must have been extremely intense, to the point where the Pirate King didn’t even leave behind a single bit of wealth.

The shelves around were filled with blueprints for the construction of that alchemy ship, detailed down to every last component.

If an alchemy master were to see these blueprints, they would likely consider them treasures and be overwhelmed with excitement. But in front of Carlotta, these blueprints were currently of little use.

Nevertheless, Carlotta still collected all the blueprints and stored them in her card storage.

Still unwilling to give up, she took out the Rose Cross and slashed at the table and shelves, only to find that they were just ordinary furniture. With a sigh of resignation, she left the small room.

Seeing Carlotta come out, Amelia quickly asked, "How did it go?"

While outside, she could vaguely see what was happening inside through the golden vortex, but the details were unclear.

Carlotta didn’t hold back and explained her findings, her tone tinged with a bit of complaint.

The Pirate King’s treasure, which everyone had been so eager to find, had turned out to be just this, inevitably disappointing.

Amelia pondered, "The rumor that obtaining the Pirate King’s treasure would make one the next Pirate King wasn’t entirely baseless. If that alchemy ship could be built, it would indeed dominate the seas."

"The problem is, it can’t be built."

Carlotta shrugged.

She had no idea how the Pirate King had managed to build the first stage of the alchemy ship back then, but it was clear beyond her capabilities.

Amelia smiled slightly, "It’s fine. Things that are useless now might not be useless in the future... I wonder where the Pirate King got these blueprints from."

Just as Carlotta was about to say something, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. Having experienced this before, she immediately understood what it meant.

It was teleportation!

This was the same feeling she had when she was randomly teleported after entering the King’s Ruins.

Almost instinctively, Carlotta lunged toward Amelia and wrapped her arms around her.

In the next moment, the teleportation activated, and both of them disappeared from the spot.

...

On Lionheart Island, it was still night, and darkness enveloped the land.

In a dense forest, Carlotta and Amelia suddenly appeared.

The abrupt teleportation left them both unsteady. Carlotta fell to the ground, while Amelia stumbled and fell on top of her, instinctively wrapping her arms around Carlotta’s neck.

Their bodies were stiff, frozen for about two seconds before Amelia quickly got up.

Carlotta also pushed herself up and, noting Amelia’s slightly flushed cheeks, said, "It seems the trial is over, so we’ve been teleported out. Everyone else who entered the King’s Ruins should have been sent out as well."

Amelia’s expression tightened, "In that case, we need to leave quickly."

With so many pirates emerging, it meant that what had happened in the King’s Ruins would spread rapidly.

They had killed quite a few members of the Silver Hook Pirates. If the Silver Hook Pirates found out, they wouldn’t let them go.

Moreover, in the eyes of the other pirates, they were the ones who had obtained the Pirate King’s treasure. Just this fact alone would make every other pirate target them.

Carlotta also understood the severity of the situation and immediately ran toward the beach.

Amelia followed quickly, using the Soldier Roster to send messages to the pirates she controlled, instructing them to return to the fleet.

Through the Soldier Roster, she could sense that many of her pirates had been lost. It seemed that some chaos had erupted outside while she was in the King’s Ruins.

Fortunately, the chaos wasn’t directed at the Rose Pirates, so the Rose Pirates still retained a significant force and had retreated to a safe position.

It didn’t take long for Carlotta and Amelia to reach the area where the Rose Pirates’ fleet was anchored.

Chaos was also unfolding in this area. Many pirates were fiercely fighting on the beach, with roars and screams rising and falling. Bodies were falling like cut grass.

Carlotta couldn’t help but sigh, pirate lives really didn’t seem to matter.

The Rose Pirates were also caught up in the battle, but thankfully, Julia and the other two guards had stepped in, managing to control the situation.

Suddenly, Julia seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction, her face lighting up with joy.

"It’s the lady! The lady is out!"

Hearing Julia’s voice, Laurie and Lina both perked up.

The three guards immediately rushed over and quickly arrived at Amelia’s side.

Without wasting any time, Amelia said, "We need to leave immediately, and fast!"

Upon hearing this, Julia and the others felt a chill.

Julia grabbed Amelia and Carlotta and flew straight toward the fleet, landing on one of the ships.

Lina used plant magic to grab the Rose Pirates and hurled them onto their ships. Whether they would be dizzy from the throw didn’t matter, they were all transcendents, after all, and their physical resilience was strong.

Laurie cast a soundwave spell, not sparing her mana, and unleashed a wide-area attack. Invisible soundwaves violently struck the surrounding pirates, causing large numbers of them to scream and fall, unable to put up any resistance.

In no time, the Rose Pirates’ fleet swiftly distanced itself.

It wasn’t until the Rose Pirates’ fleet had disappeared over the horizon that a large number of pirates finally arrived.

The Blaze Pirates, the Silver Hook Pirates, and the Soul Reaper Pirates all converged here.

They had all heard the news, the Rose Pirates had obtained the Pirate King’s treasure. This left them both shocked and resentful.

"After them!"

With a command, the pirates boarded their ships and set off in pursuit.

...

After putting some distance between themselves and Lionheart Island, Amelia retrieved the Moonlight from the Ten Hearts Pearl. She boarded it with Carlotta, Julia, Laurie, and Lina, separated from the rest of the Rose Pirates.

The Moonlight set sail for Wales Castle, while the Rose Pirates headed in a different direction.

Carlotta stood on the deck, looking back toward Lionheart Island. Although she could no longer see the island, her expression was somewhat subtle.

She raised her hand, revealing a golden key with a lion’s head gripped in her palm. She had no idea when this key had appeared, but by the time she noticed it, they were already far from Lionheart Island.

"Could there still be something on that island that I haven’t discovered...? Well, I’ll just have to wait for more information."

Carlotta muttered to herself.

The vast night sky enveloped the Starlight Sea, which, as always, radiated a magnificent array of colors, making one feel as if they were in a fairy tale.

Carlotta put away the lion head key and took out a clock card to check the time, realizing that it was already 4 am. In a short while, the dawn would break.

Amelia said to Carlotta, "Let’s go to sleep first. If anything happens, the Moonlight will alert us. Besides, Aunt Julia and the others will take turns keeping watch."

Carlotta nodded.

She returned to her bedroom and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she laid down.

When she woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

After washing up using a cleansing card, Carlotta walked out of her bedroom and onto the deck, only to find that Amelia had woken up before her.

The sunlight filtered through, casting a dappled light on the deck.

Under the large sun umbrella, Amelia sat on a chair, with several plates of exquisite desserts on the table in front of her.

However, Amelia showed no interest in eating. Instead, she frowned slightly, as if troubled by something.

Carlotta immediately walked over and sat down on the chair beside her, "What’s wrong, Amelia?"

Amelia looked up and said, "The other pirates... are probably all gone. Although they couldn’t expose our identities, alas..."

With the list of soldiers in her possession, she could know the current situation of the pirates on the list. Not long ago, she noticed that the names of the pirates on the list were disappearing one by one, a sign of death.

Under her control, these pirates who were subordinate to her could not reveal her identity and origins. Yet, so many of the subordinates she had subdued over the days had died in a short time, which somewhat depressed Amelia.

Carlotta could only comfort her, "Don’t take it too much to heart. The value of pirates isn’t high to begin with. Without this batch of pirates, we can always get another group."

Amelia said helplessly, "But I think it’s better for us not to go out to sea for a while."

The treasure of the Pirate King was too tempting; all pirates would go crazy for it. For them, the danger level of going out to sea had increased significantly. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Carlotta also understood this. She initially thought that without the Rose Pirate Crew, they could always create something like the Lily Pirate Crew or the Rose Pirate Crew, hiding their identities with illusion masks... but it was indeed safer not to go out to sea at all.

As for the list of soldiers, perhaps it could be managed through the Velmoria people.

Carlotta mentioned this, indicating that they could focus their attention on land next.

Amelia thought for a moment and said, "This would require us to take the initiative. The location of Wales Castle is unlikely to be attacked by the Velmoria people on their own."

Carlotta smiled, "Then let’s take the initiative and let you subdue as many subordinates as possible. Even if the Moonlight can’t move on land, it can still be used as a weapon. Our lethality is not weak."

Amelia nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, she looked at Carlotta with confusion. For some reason, she felt as if Carlotta already knew about the existence of the list of soldiers.

Was it just an illusion?

The list of soldiers was a secret of the Fenwick family, and it was absolutely not to be revealed.

Her list of soldiers had only 5,000 names, but it didn’t mean that the list of other members of the Fenwick family had only this many names.

Each person on the list was almost equivalent to a death soldier. And with so many death soldiers in the Fenwick family, what were they planning to do?

The royal family obviously couldn’t allow such a thing to happen, so the existence of the list was extremely confidential within the Fenwick soldiers family, and very few people knew about it.

’It must be an illusion; she couldn’t possibly know about this.’

Amelia thought to herself.

The Moonlight was fast, but it would still take a considerable amount of time to reach Wales Castle.

Carlotta sat under the sun umbrella, chatting with Amelia. She didn’t have the social skills that Doris had, but she was enough to ensure that her conversations with Amelia wouldn’t be too dull.

They talked about the Pirate King, the top ten pirate Crews, and the Velmoria Empire. Unknowingly, time passed.

When night fell, Carlotta went to the training room to train and improve her strength.

...

In the blink of an eye, another early morning arrived.

Having slept during the day, Carlotta was very energetic and had been continuously battling the illusions in the training room for several hours until the early morning.

She made the illusions disappear, sat down on the ground, and then called up the intelligence panel to take a look.

[ 1: Amelia often thinks about what happened on Lionheart Island, holding hands with Carlotta, being hugged by Carlotta, all of which gave her a strange feeling. She didn’t know what this feeling was, but she didn’t resist it in her heart and even quite liked it.]

Carlotta blinked, this piece of information made her pause for a moment.

’Could Amelia have fallen for me? No, it probably hasn’t reached that point yet, but it seems she has quite a high favorability towards me.’

After some thought, Carlotta’s expression became somewhat subtle. She already knew Amelia’s detailed personal information, and with Amelia’s high favorability towards her, she felt that she could possibly win over this lady.

Thinking of this, Carlotta couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.

She first looked at the information below.

[ 2: Carlotta has gained the recognition of the Pirate King and obtained the Pirate King’s treasure. The treasure has three parts. The first part consists of some valuable Knighthood paths and magic paths, which can be used to build her own team. The second part is the blueprint for an alchemical ship, which can be built into a powerful warship for her to reside in. The third part is the Lion Key, which involves the foundation of the Pirate King. However, only with sufficient level can one truly inherit everything of the Pirate King through the Lion Key. Currently, Carlotta’s level is not good enough.]

Carlotta was speechless.

Good news, the Pirate King’s treasure wasn’t so shabby; there were still things that hadn’t been unearthed.

Bad news, she currently couldn’t possess the true treasure of the Pirate King.

"So this thing is called the Lion Key?"

Carlotta took out the golden lion head key, looked at it, and then put it back into the storage card.

She was a bit speechless, not knowing what kind of treasure it was that she had to wait until her level was high enough to claim. Couldn’t they just give it to her directly?

But these were the rules left by the Pirate King before his death, and she couldn’t change them. So, it had to be this way.
