Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Joining and Expelling

"Maureen, this is Aaron's first time killing someone, right?"

In the cabin, Richard and Maureen kept walking and talking in low voices.

Morin nodded and said, "Yes, Aaron said that his father taught him to be a polite and elegant nobleman, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Thinking about what had just happened, Morin still felt a little surprised. He didn't expect that Aaron would kill Kerry in front of them.

Lucy and Alice were frightened on the spot, and Richard's expression changed. Only Maureen seemed quite calm, but she still couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

"Hey, Kerry..." Richard's expression changed. It was obvious that he still felt strange about Aaron killing Kerry. After all, they were together before, not like those strangers, so it was not a big burden to kill them.

Maureen smiled and said nothing more.

He knew Richard quite well, but he didn't know whether Richard's personality was good or bad in the wizarding world.

After a few brief words, Maureen returned to his room.

After that, the snatching of the food in the black cloth bag became even more brutal. Many wizard seeds had reached the point of using any means to snatch the black cloth bag. When Morin and his team went to snatch it, they were under great pressure. Once, a wizard seed directly took out a crossbow and fired a crossbow arrow. If Morin had not reacted quickly, he might have been injured by that arrow.

A few days passed and dozens of wizard seeds had died. The black-armored knights in charge of distributing food threw the corpses into the sea, but the deck was covered with dark red blood and the smell of blood still lingered in the air.

In order to help each other, Alice and Lucy moved to the room next to Maureen and Richard. There were other people living next door to them, and they did not agree. However, under the insistence of Maureen and Richard, they had to compromise.

in the room.

"Food is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain."

Maureen frowned, thinking about what had happened recently.

"Yes, the wizard seeds that dare to come and snatch food now either have a lot of people or are very powerful." Richard nodded with deep feeling.

Lucy and Alice sat nearby, nodding without saying anything. Subconsciously, they looked at Aaron beside them, with a strange look flashing across their faces.

Ever since Aaron killed Kerry, he seemed like a different person, shrouded in a black robe, silent, but extremely ruthless, and would kill any wizard seeds who dared to come and snatch them.

Aaron had killed the most people during this period.

Bang bang bang!

There was a sudden knock on the door. Maureen and Richard looked at each other, put their hands on the cross swords, and immediately became alert.

"Who!" Richard's voice was full of vigilance.

"It's me." A voice came from outside the door.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Anthony."

When he opened the door, Anthony was standing outside, followed by three young men holding cross swords and looking alert.

"Sorry, I didn't mean anything else." Anthony came in and noticed that Morin and the others were looking at him strangely, so he quickly explained, "Those three are my followers. Don't get me wrong. After all, at a time like this, I don't dare walk around the cabin alone. Who knows if someone will kill me? After all, if we can get one less wizard seed, we'll have a better chance of getting food, right?"

"It's like this, what can't everyone do?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Anthony's voice.

Maureen and Richard Aaron looked at each other and said nothing more.

"Okay, Anthony, what are you doing here?" Maureen looked at Anthony.

"Maureen, and everyone else, we need to unite." Anthony said bluntly, "The current situation is too dangerous. If we are alone, we will not have much chance of getting food. Therefore, our teams need to join together and unite with each other."

No one from Maureen spoke.

After experiencing what happened on the ship, Maureen and the others grew up to some extent.

"Well, I think if I don't tell you the reason, you probably won't join." Anthony smiled, as if nothing had happened, and said, "It's Anna. Anna and the others have discussed a plan that requires a lot of strong people to join, so I thought of you."

Anthony said it calmly, but there were ups and downs in his voice, revealing a different kind of emotion.

You know, at the beginning, he wanted to recruit Anna, but after getting on the ship, everything changed. Although he still had a certain appeal, compared with the powerful Anna, it was nothing. The original wizard seeds followed Anna one after another, making him almost lose power.

He came in person to invite Morin and the others to join, which was a way for him to have some face in the group. At the same time, he also wanted to do Morin and the others a good favor.

"Then we..." Morin tilted his head slightly, as if he had thought of something, and chuckled softly.

"We are friends, so of course we are equal, all of us are equal." Anthony came over and said quickly.

"Well, then, let's go meet Anna."

Maureen looked at Richard and the others, and Richard and the others nodded, agreeing with Maureen's views and opinions.

Under Anthony's guidance, Maureen and his friends met Anna in a room.

She was a girl with chestnut hair and fair skin. Many wizard seeds were surrounding her like stars in the sky. When Morin and the others came in, she looked over with a look of scrutiny in her eyes.

"Anna, they are my friends, I think they can join in." Anthony smiled with a warm face, but there was a very strange feeling.

Anna glanced at Maureen and the others calmly, then suddenly called out a name, "Cromwell!"

A burly young man came out, slowly drew out his broadsword, and said in a rough voice, "I am Cromwell. Listen, as long as one of you can hold out for thirty breaths under my hand, then..."

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

With a whoosh, a dull sound of breaking through the air was heard. Morin's hand suddenly trembled, and the cross sword turned into a silver light and rushed out. Cromwell was shocked when he saw this, and before he could react, the silver cross sword was already placed on his neck.

Feeling the cold touch of the cross sword, Cromwell's face turned extremely ugly.

"If this is a test, then..." Morin raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I think we should have passed it."

Anthony and the others were shocked. They didn't expect that Maureen's strength was so strong.

Anna was also a little surprised, but then she touched a bracelet on her wrist and suddenly became confident.

"Okay, you are strong enough and you can join." Anna said lightly and turned away.

Maureen gently brushed Anna's wrist and laughed silently in her heart.

That bracelet should be Anna's magical item.

On the next day, Maureen and the others finally knew what Anna's plan was.

"Reyas." Anna stood in front of everyone, looking at Reyas in front of her.

"Anna, why, are these the seeds of those white robes you had before?" Reiyas tilted his head slightly, looking at Anna and Richard and the others behind Anna, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Leiyasi, you have a lot of people." Anna said calmly.

Lei Yasi laughed and said, "This is not important, is it? What is important is strength, strength that we recognize!"

Anna glanced at the original black robe seeds behind Reyas, and then looked around, where there were many weak black robe seeds who were not invited to join them.

"Let's start." Anna said softly.

Lei Yasi nodded, then looked around with a grim smile on his face, and said: "Listen, you weak trash, from today on, all the food distributed on this ship will belong to us, you are not allowed to appear on the deck, understand!"

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and then someone in a black robe shouted, "Why? These foods..."

whoosh!

Before the black-robed seed could finish his words, a crossbow arrow shot out and pierced his heart.

The surroundings became quiet.

Anna and Reyas, as well as the many black-robed seeds behind them, all looked quietly at the weaker black-robed ones without saying a word.

"Does anyone have any objections?" Reiyas held a crossbow in his hand and looked coldly at those weak black robes.

The black robe seeds felt aggrieved and helpless, but there was nothing they could do, because no one had expected that the most powerful group of people on the entire ship would unite and want to monopolize all the food.

The weak black robe seeds left sadly because they had no other choice.

No one wants to die.

"Okay Anna, according to what we said just now, the twenty-seven groups of black-armored knights will each get half. I want the thirteen groups on the left, and you want the remaining thirteen groups on the right. We will divide the food equally among the remaining groups. Is that ok?" Reyas said.

Anna nodded and said, "Okay."

Then the two groups got food in their respective areas, and then slowly retreated back to their rooms.

Next was the internal division of food. The standard for division was very simple, it was just strength. Because Morin and his team were quite strong, they got a high share of food, which was almost the same as the food they had fought hard for before.

"Unite and then expel them? This is a really good idea." Morin smiled lightly.

Although there was no bloody conflict over food this time, the coldness and indifference were no less common, and were even colder.

Maureen withdrew his thoughts, opened the door and returned to the room.

The days that followed became increasingly peaceful, as the powerful black robe seeds used this method to obtain food and thus avoided bloody conflicts. However, there would occasionally be troubles, as the weaker black robe seeds would rush over in despair and try to snatch the food, but in the end they would just be killed.

Several days have passed, and it seems that the rest of the time will continue like this without any disturbances.

But on this day, when Morin and his companions came to the deck, they suddenly discovered that most of the original twenty-seven groups of knights were missing, leaving only eleven groups.

"how come?"

"Why is this happening?"

Many black robe seeds were shocked.

"Have you forgotten Lord Evans' rules of the game?" Emily looked at the black-robed seeds from above with a sarcastic look on her face.

Many great gods in black robes were stunned. Then they remembered what Evans said, that the food shares would change. There might be food for two hundred people, one hundred people, fifty people, thirty people, or even no food.

There were only eleven groups of black-armored knights at the moment, so there was not enough food for a hundred people.

"There's so little food, it's not enough for both of us to share." I don't know who said this.

Anna and Reyas were startled, as were the two groups of people behind them.

Everyone looked at each other, and slowly, they became wary of each other.

The atmosphere suddenly became very solemn.
