Fey Evolution Merchant Chapter 2878 Star Pirate Alliance's Secret!

Chapter 2878 Star Pirate Alliance's Secret!

Rail Thorn held the highest position among all the star pirate spies present and managed all of them.
Rail Thorn came from the Dark Punishment Star Pirates and was the third most important figure.
After the Dark Punishment Star Pirates joined the 'Star Pirate Alliance', the members were shuffled. The first and second most important figures became team leaders, while Rail Thorn became the second-in-command of the Star Pirate Alliance's search and reporting department.
The first in command of the Star Pirate Alliance's search and reporting department managed the internal affairs, while Rail Thorn handled the external operations.
Rail Thorn designed the different roles and ranks in the search and reporting department. He designed the roles in this manner because he did not want the members of the search and reporting department to get to know each other.
If they were pigeonholed into their individual roles and ranks, it would be easy to notice if any of them were missing. Additionally, even if one of them was caught by the enemy and forced to speak, they would not be able to implicate the entire department.
This system also protected Rail Thorn.
Rail Thorn only had four members in his team and was extremely cautious of his own safety. He had deemed the four team members as trustworthy, but Red Scorpion had named him in order to save herself.
In order to ensure that the Star Pirate Alliance's plan went smoothly, Rail Thorn was even prepared to sacrifice himself.
Rail Thorn looked at Lin Yuan serenely through several strands of hair that fell over his face as he tried to come up with the next step of his plan.
Spring frowned at Rail Thorn. She knew that he was very cunning. Otherwise, she would not have been unable to discern anything special about him when she was investigating Treasure City!
Rail Thorn had to be extremely talented to avoid being picked out by Spring's sharp eyes.
A person like this, who also held an important position in the Star Pirate Alliance, would not divulge information easily.
Lin Yuan wanted to handle this matter personally, so Spring did not interject or add anything.
When Rail Thorn did not respond, Lin Yuan knew that he was not an easy character to deal with. Lin Yuan did not have time to waste on Rail Thorn.
From his previous questioning of the spies, Lin Yuan confirmed that the higher the position of the spy, the more information they knew.
It was true that Rail Thorn was the most valuable figure among the spies.
Lin Yuan took a step forward and pushed aside the hair that covered Rail Thorn's forehead.
Rail Thorn was startled by Lin Yuan's actions and instinctively took a step backward. However, he was immobilized by a jet of water that had burst out from Lin Yuan's body.
As the head of the information department, his abilities were far more important than his power.
Rail Thorn was not strong and was still some way from reaching World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. This was why he did not stand out, regardless of where he was.
Rail Thorn was not used to being examined in such an open and vulnerable state, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Lin Yuan used his pointer finger to tap Rail Thorn's forehead.
"You might not have voluntarily stepped forward, but I am still willing to give you a chance to live. But you need to tell me everything you know. As a reward, I will give you a platform where you'll be able to utilize your value better than you currently do in the Star Pirate Alliance! The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to /n/o/vel/b/in.
"If you're unwilling to cooperate with me while I'm communicating with you through normal methods, I will have no choice but to use my own means to make you talk. I will give you three minutes to think. With your experience, I'm sure you understand the implications."
Lin Yuan decided to flex his power in the most direct manner.
Lin Yuan's intensity caused cold sweat to begin dripping down Rail Thorn's back.
Rail Thorn knew that, given his current situation, he was a prisoner who did not get to decide whether he lived or died. There was no question that revealing what he knew would bring him the most benefits and give him the greatest chance of surviving!
Rail Thorn could already guess what Lin Yuan wanted to ask. Once he revealed such information, many of his brothers would lose their lives in Treasure City!
He initially thought that he only needed to pay attention to Fortune Treasure Palace in this operation. But it turned out that there was such a terrifying faction present in Treasure City!
Rail Thorn did not know what level this secret space was at, but it had to be extremely high. Otherwise, it would not contain spirit qi of such purity! This purity of spirit qi was comparable to that of the potions concocted by Grade 4 Creators!
He did not know the rate at which this spirit qi was produced.
If the spirit qi was produced at a high rate, this place would be unbelievably stunning.
The Star Pirate Alliance had made a grave mistake!
His brothers on the outside were still ignorant of this. Rather than telling Lin Yuan about the Star Pirate Alliance, Rail Thorn would much rather tell the Star Pirate Alliance about what had happened in the city.
Rail Thorn believed that this young man would be able to provide him with a stage on which to exhibit his talents. There was a good chance that this stage would be even wider than the one given to him by the Star Pirate Alliance.
However, Rail Thorn had his reasons for being unable to speak. Even if he wanted to tell Lin Yuan about this, he could not.
Rail Thorn could guess that he would be in for suffering if he did not do what the young man wanted and told him everything he knew. He did not want to experience the suffering, but it was not up to him!
Rather than suffering physical pain, he would rather die and put an end to everything.
With these thoughts in mind, Rail Thorn said seriously, "I can't tell you everything that goes on in the Star Pirate Alliance. Even if I want to, I can't. You won't be able to get any useful information from me."
Lin Yuan frowned when he heard what Rail Thorn said.
Rail Thorn's words sounded extremely superficial to Lin Yuan. The mouth was on his body. What did he mean that he could not speak about what went on among the star pirates?
Spring sensed Rail Thorn's condition before saying to Lin Yuan, "Young Master, it looks like the Star Pirate Alliance has a mutated dragon-species fey, the Forbidden Speech Dragon.
"The Forbidden Speech Dragons communicate through forbidden speech, and the information they deliver is extremely secure. Those who have been encrypted can't transmit information to anyone else. They will only be able to communicate directly with the Forbidden Speech Dragon. They'll only be able to speak to others once the Forbidden Speech Dragon removes the encryption."
Spring's words caused surprise to appear on Lin Yuan's face. He never expected a mystical lifeform like the Forbidden Speech Dragon to exist in this world!
When Spring was talking about the Forbidden Speech Dragon, Rail Thorn's expression changed.
This meant that Rail Thorn not only knew about the Forbidden Speech Dragon but that he was linked to them as well.
Lin Yuan looked at Spring. He wanted to ask her how he could get Rail Thorn to speak if he was truly controlled by the Forbidden Speech Dragon's forbidden speech.
Lin Yuan had not gleaned any information he wanted to hear from the spies. If he still could not receive such information from Rail Thorn, he could only take on the Star Pirate Alliance with force and squeeze out the person behind them!
In spite of Spring and Winter's power, Lin Yuan did not have enough manpower to carry this out.
Spring smiled and said, "Young Master, if this Forbidden Speech Dragon's power has exceeded Domain Mountain/Holy Spirit, it will be very difficult to find a way to break the forbidden speech spell while it is in effect.
"However, the Forbidden Speech Dragon is an extremely powerful functional-type lifeform. It's difficult for them to reach even World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. Even if they receive an enormous opportunity, it will be difficult for them to reach Domain Mountain/Holy Spirit. I only need a moment to remove the forbidden speech spell from Rail Thorn!"
Spring turned and said coldly, "I can remove the forbidden speech spell that has a hold on you. Once the forbidden speech spell is removed, you can decide for yourself whether or not to speak!
"Rather than chaining your soul and dissecting your soul to learn your secrets, it will be smarter for you to speak for yourself! Loyalty and sincerity don't exist among star pirates. Even the subordinates you treat well won't hesitate to abandon you. A group that burns and kills for profit can't speak of righteousness and good faith!"
Once she was done speaking, a revitalizing energy surged within Spring. The energy had a mystical rhythm, flowed into Rail Thorn, and removed the forbidden speech spell. At the same time, a black and brown insect crawled out from Rail Thorn's heart.
The long insect fell to the ground and began writhing creepily.
Spring pointed forward, crashing the long insect. "Apparently, apart from the forbidden speech magic, you also have such a parasite in you! You should be able to answer the question now, right?"
Spring's action astonished Rail Thorn. He never expected someone to be this strong.
Now, he was completely unrestrained and truly free.
Rail Thorn was silent for a moment before he asked, "If I tell you about the situation, what will you do to the other star pirates in the Star Pirate Alliance?"
Lin Yuan replied with a question of his own, "Do you think the Star Pirate Alliance, who go around killing and plundering, deserve to live? Will anyone survive after the star pirates conquer Treasure City? I won't be letting any of the Star Pirate Alliance's star pirates go free!"
Lin Yuan spoke firmly. Rail Thorn's expression became austere.
"What about the spies you chose? Will you be letting them live?"
Lin Yuan no longer had any patience. "They get to live because they have used their own means to fend off the star pirates outside of Treasure City. I am willing to give a chance to those who know how to right their own wrongs. Are you going to give up your chance to continue living?"
Rail Thorn could sense Lin Yuan's irritation from his words.
Now that he was free of control, Rail Thorn no longer had anything to worry about. Rail Thorn had a few good friends in the Star Pirate Alliance, but their relationship was not stable.
Rail Thorn could not be certain that these people would prioritize their relationship when they were presented with profits.
Due to Rail Thorn's lack of power, he always had to put on a display of weakness when he interacted with these supposed friends.
Now that he was being offered the chance at a new life, Rail Thorn was both excited and apprehensive.
Rail Thorn was also calculating Lin Yuan's chances of defeating the Star Pirate Alliance. After all, the Star Pirate Alliance had a terribly powerful faction supporting them! It was this faction that had established the Star Pirate Alliance and had been puppeteering them from the shadows.
However, this faction also brought the Star Pirate Alliance significant benefits.
This faction had always flown under the radar and never sent their main members to meet with the Star Pirate Alliance.
Yet, they sent two of their main members, as well as two devil groups, to this operation.
It was difficult for Rail Thorn to imagine this almighty Star Pirate Alliance being defeated!
If this young man could not defeat the Star Pirate Alliance, everything they did from now on would be meaningless!
"Do you have power above Domain Mountain/Pinnacle Holy Spirit? If you don't have such power, I suggest that you pay more attention to Treasure City's safety and do your best to break free in order to survive!
"I need a promise. You have to promise me that I will have the chance to fully wield my abilities. As long as you can promise this, I will tell you everything I know!"
Lin Yuan said softly, "I never lie. I don't need to lie to you. All you need to do is say whatever you know. We will be the ones to worry about whether we have the power to handle this crisis!
"Soon, the two void passageways will be destroyed, and our relationship with the star pirates will be swapped. If I didn't have enough power, I wouldn't have been able to find you from among all these spies!"
Despite Lin Yuan saying that, Rail Thorn still could not relax completely. He felt that Lin Yuan was bragging.
Ever since the two figures came to the Star Pirate Alliance and opened the two void passageways, they never intended to handle the repercussions.
Under the control of the Abyss Commanders, the two void passageways were already showing signs of evolving from pinnacle Class 3 to Class 4.
Given the circumstances, Holy Spirit strength was insufficient to handle the situation. Yet, this young man actually said that he was capable of making the three pinnacle Class 3 void passageways disappear!
But since Lin Yuan had given him his assurance, Rail Thorn could only tell Lin Yuan everything he knew.
With Genius personally taking notes, it took almost two hours to record everything.
Rail Thorn knew more than five times what the other spies knew. Thus, Lin Yuan now knew everything about these star pirates.
Lin Yuan said seriously, "You said that those two figures are likely more powerful than the Holy Spirit experts. Can you be sure of that?"
Rail Thorn shook his head. "I won't lie to you. I haven't had the chance to interact directly with those two figures. They haven't acted publicly, either.
"But one thing is for certain. They want to be present and order the Star Pirate Alliance to attack Treasure City because there is something there that they desperately want to get their hands on. But I don't know what it is they want."
