Chapter 64: Cooperation with an Angel

The coffee had already been brewed.

While savoring the rich flavor of the coffee, Guné also digested the vast amount of information in his mind.

"What a fine taste, bitter-sweet with a unique aroma, leaving a lingering aftertaste."

Carona, tasting the coffee, murmured softly in admiration.

"A cup of coffee in leisure time truly allows us to enjoy the cozy afternoon."

After a moment of thought, the angel Carona continued.

"That Caspar Seadragon. If he were merely a 'Truthspeaker,' that would be one thing."

"But this fellow is extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. Although he appears warm and sunny, if you look into his heart, you'll find a deeply twisted and dark personality."

"Fraud, deception, stealing others' wealth—in his eyes, these are all taken for granted."

"Even killing others is merely a form of amusement to him."

"Although this is related to his evil-natured heart, the man himself is hardly a good person."

"Among the many evil-natured transcendents I have encountered,"

"this one ranks nearly in the top ten for his evil traits, which is why I pursued him." Carona said.

"Earlier, I discovered his entire demonic ship crew, killed most of his villainous underlings, and shattered his demonic ship, but he escaped alone."

"I never expected that this fellow would fall into the hands of Super Spellcaster Captain Jack."

"Before, I didn't quite believe the rumors about the 'Super Spellcaster,' but now it seems those rumors may not fully display your power."

Flattering words always bring joy to the heart.

Hearing Carona finish, Guné nodded lightly.

"This Caspar Seadragon is indeed a wicked-minded fellow, and he's quite bold."

"Rest assured, Miss Carona, I will kill this evil man." Guné said firmly.

Hearing Guné's words, Carona paused.

After a moment of deliberation, she continued.

"Actually, I came today not to ask Captain Jack to kill him."

"My purpose in coming is that I need 'Caspar Seadragon' himself—more precisely, I need his 'Truthspeaker' transcendent profession."

"Is that so?"

Guné, holding his coffee cup, thought to himself.

Earlier, Guné had guessed that this angel had some purpose regarding this deceiver.

When she mentioned that this fellow was a 'Truthspeaker,' a powerful transcendent profession that could say 'Let there be light' and there was light, Guné became even more certain.

Guné deliberately said he would kill the deceiver himself, and indeed, it easily forced Carona to reveal her true purpose.

"Miss Carona, do you wish to strip this fellow of his 'Truthspeaker'?" Guné said, seemingly casually.

"Yes!" Carona did not hide anything.

Because she felt that telling the truth might still give her a chance, while hiding it would likely lead to failure.

"One million gold pounds."

Guné named his price very straightforwardly.

Guné's words startled Carona. You're too straightforward!

"No problem." Carona responded quickly, afraid Guné might change his mind.

"Don't rush. I have other conditions." Guné said with a smile.

Carona steadied herself.

Though a bit rash, it was mainly because this 'Truthspeaker' was of great help to her.

Her body and bloodline were already powerful existences at the 'Lord level.'

Through layers of selection, she eventually reincarnated as an angel within the 'Angel Altar.'

Angels themselves are 'semi-transcendent profession' beings.

Using treasures, it is possible to add another transcendent profession.

But this added profession must be powerful for angels to be willing to do so.

And this 'Truthspeaker' belongs to the light system, perfectly matching the angel's light essence.

For her, once she possesses the 'Truthspeaker' Star Sequence profession,

the powerful semi-profession 'Angel' and the Star Sequence 'Truthspeaker' will merge.

She will become the unique 'Truth Angel.'

Once she returns to the Angel Divine Kingdom, she will be cultivated as an absolute core.

She may even have her own independent altar, enjoying endless faith power.

Guné slowly spoke.

"I need you to find a third- or fourth-order demon lord. If possible, fifth- or sixth-order demon lords are also acceptable, provided you confirm we can defeat it together."

"Then you cooperate with me to kill this demon and obtain its soul fragments, preferably suppress it, so I can acquire a perfect demon soul."

"Either outcome is acceptable to me, but it must be a lord-level demon."

"A demon lord's soul?" Carona looked at Guné.

"Yes."

"Do you want to condense a secondary soul?" Carona was smarter than Guné expected, guessing it directly.

"I want to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll use it for research. At worst, I'll fly it like a kite, at least I won't need the wind." Guné said half-jokingly.

Guné's words left Carona stunned.

Flying a demon as a kite? Are you serious?

"Has anyone ever tried condensing a demon secondary soul?" After finishing his coffee, Guné poured himself another cup.

With a beautiful woman sitting across from him, and an angel at that, the coffee seemed to go down faster than usual.

"Of course, some have tried, but most were devoured by the demon's soul backlash."

"Demon souls are peculiar—born as crown-level beings, their soul essence is bizarre and filled with evil aura."

"In terms of soul essence, they are the strongest."

"This means that any soul system that tries to use one's own soul as the main and the demon soul as the auxiliary will eventually be corrupted by the stronger demon soul's evil nature and then devoured by the demon soul, allowing the demon to resurrect itself."

"This practice is foolish and has long been considered an unviable path in the stars."

"Then there's no way around it." Guné spread his hands.

"But I still want to capture a demon soul for research. After all, dreams are worth having—what if they come true!"

"I can help you kill the demon and obtain its soul fragments." Carona nodded.

For her, hunting and killing demons to purify their evil itself enhances her strength.

This time, she would also join forces with this Super Spellcaster and obtain the 'Truthspeaker.'

For her, it was all benefit and no harm.

"Any other conditions?" Carona asked further.

"No, but you need to gather that one million gold pounds as soon as possible. You know it's no small sum."

"During this time, I've also hunted many pirates and acquired a large amount of resources from them, even demonic ships."

"You can take a look and see if these resources are enough." As she spoke, Carona opened a small hidden compartment in her armor and took out twenty or thirty transcendent rings and transcendent storage bracelets.

These items made Guné's eyes light up.

"This angel really has a lot of good stuff. And demonic ships are very valuable. Having wings to fly in the sky certainly makes hunting efficiency impressive." Guné thought to himself.

After a rough inspection, Guné nodded slightly.

"For fairness, I'll have my first mate appraise the wealth within these transcendent rings."

"Agreed." Carona nodded slightly.

Soon, Yason Howell arrived at the captain's cabin door.

"Captain, you called for me?"

"Yes, come in."

As soon as he entered, Yason Howell saw the six-winged angel with radiant feathers and the large number of transcendent storage items on the table.

"Select about one million gold pounds' worth of wealth from these transcendent storage items."

"No problem."

Counting money was something Yason Howell always enjoyed. He also knew that his captain was always generous—when given a task, the captain would always find a way to give him a little bonus, and even a small bonus was quite substantial.

Yason immediately sat down at the table and began detailed pricing of the items in the transcendent rings.

Clearing the items in the transcendent rings was obviously a tedious task, but fortunately, for a value around one million gold pounds, it didn't need to be too detailed.

About an hour and a half later,

Yason Howell stood up, having stacked twenty-seven rings and bracelets together.

"Captain, the appraisal is complete. The total value of these twenty-seven rings and bracelets is approximately one million gold pounds."

"Good."

As he nodded, Guné took two bundles of ten-pound notes, totaling two thousand gold pounds, from one of the remaining seven transcendent storage items and placed them in front of Yason Howell.

"As a witness, taking a small profit is reasonable, isn't it?" Guné looked at the angel Carona.

"No problem." Carona nodded.

All this wealth was looted by her, and especially these banknotes, which were of little use to her.

"If possible, I'd prefer to exchange these banknotes for equipment, materials, potions, and the like."

Carona was well aware that these banknotes were far less valuable to her than transcendent equipment, materials, potions, and so on.

Once she left this world, equipment would still retain its value, but banknotes would become waste paper.

"No problem." Guné chuckled lightly.

"Since Miss Carona probably won't leave anytime soon, in the next few days, you can use these banknotes to trade with my crew for their transcendent equipment and materials."

"Then many thanks." Being able to use banknotes to exchange for equipment and materials was naturally very agreeable to Carona.

As for the crew, they would certainly be happy too. After all, as long as they weren't foolish, they would quote higher prices for these equipment and materials.

But overall, it would be a win-win transaction.

The ones who might lose out were perhaps the already dead pirates.
