Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 14 The One Who Can Talk to Fish is the Sea Emperor (8600)

Chapter 453 He Who Speaks with Fish is the Sea Emperor (8600)

The glittering waves of Joyful Sea at night reflected the starlight. Following the guidance of the Sacred Fire Tower in the center of Twilight City, fishermen and merchant ships returned to port on the night tide.

For a time, the coastline of Twilight City was dotted with the lights of fishing boats, hundreds of vessels of various types returning to the harbor like fireflies returning to their nests, a must-see spectacle of Twilight City.

At this moment, a light three-masted sailboat was slowly moving near the coast, its sails lowered, with only a pink flag fluttering at the top.

Unlike most near-shore fishing boats in Twilight City, this three-masted sailboat was significantly larger and more solidly built, with the anchor located at the bow. An expert would immediately recognize it as a seagoing vessel—but the official seagoing vessels of the Sacred Fire Kingdom were only the large oceangoing ships built by the followers of the Wind God, and there were no smaller models.

Only the Sea Folk, or pirates, would build such ships.

The pink boar's head flag fluttered in the wind.

[Wild Boar Pirate Crew]

Established twelve years ago, the Wild Boar Pirate Crew was no stranger to the fishermen of Twilight City, not because the locals frequently dealt with them, but mainly because the captain of this pirate crew, Nide, was a rather legendary and wonderful person.

Nide became a pirate at the age of thirty-seven. In the Sacred Fire Kingdom, he should have had grandchildren at that age, but perhaps because of his appearance and personality, he was still a bachelor.

This rather ferocious-looking man was originally a mountain hunter with excellent archery skills. He had once hunted down three wild boars approaching the Revelation stage alone. Although he lost an eye, he gained fame and fortune and was even invited to the city as the captain of the city guard.

But Nide was, after all, a rough mountain man who couldn't adapt to the atmosphere of the city. For example, people living in the mountains swore very straightforwardly, directly cursing parents and relatives, but that didn't comply with the legal rules in the covenant.

In the city, if you wanted to curse, you had to be circuitous, sarcastic, without uttering a single dirty word, and how could Nide compare to the city people in this regard?

So after cursing and violating the rules several times, this old hunter punched another city guard captain he didn't get along with, giving him a concussion, and then directly defected from Twilight City, becoming a free pirate.

While wandering in the Joyful Sea to gather his crew, he seized a pirate ship and had the good fortune to invite a third-rate painter who had been green-hatted by his wife, killed someone in anger, and fled into the sea to paint a flag for him. Nide's original request was for a blood-red boar's head, but because there weren't many paints at sea, and the painter's skills were truly poor, it turned into the current pink pig head flag.

"This will make those people even more afraid!"

Nide originally intended to throw this third-rate painter into the sea to feed the fish, but to avoid becoming companions with the fish and shrimp, the painter was sweating profusely, and with quick wit declared: "Captain, people might accept the fate of being killed by a wild boar, but no one can accept being killed by a pink pig!"

That was true.

After thinking about it, Nide turned from anger to joy and used this flag to this day—and indeed, those fishermen and merchants of Twilight City, who should have been tough and unwilling to trade or soften, obediently took out their wealth after seeing the pink pig flag, which was gratifying.

But now, at the bow of the Wild Boar, where another flag should have been hanging besides the one on the top, a white flag was waving.

"Captain! Will this work?"

Nide was standing at the bow, the one-eyed captain pacing the deck with worry and agitation. He held a thick iron-bound covenant in his hand, carefully flipping through it word by word.

But clearly, reading had nothing to do with him. After reading only a few paragraphs, Nide felt dizzy, and the cries of the seagulls following the ship made his head ache.

But hearing the words of his first mate, who was waving the white flag, Nide had to suppress his violent temper and calmly replied, "Of course!"

"According to the covenant, since we have surrendered, they have no choice but to accept our surrender!"

Saying so, Nide turned to the "Fourth Book of Laws" in the nearly new covenant, and then the towering man angrily cursed, "Damn it, I became a pirate because I hated these damn rules and regulations that even control my toilet breaks and cursing!"

But even in anger, he calmed down and continued reading.

After all, as a pirate wanting to surrender, lacking knowledge of the law would only lead him to the gallows.

"I've attacked fishing boats, robbed merchant ships, but haven't killed anyone—they can't sentence me to death for this, the Three Lords are truly merciful!"

"In that case, no matter how serious the crime, as long as I surrender, show willingness to repent and convert, then even that old man High Priest Gelo can only chop off my hands and feet at most, and then he must let me go!"

What's a missing foot or hand to a pirate? The legend of Captain Hook had always been around. Nide wasn't afraid of that—he had Wind Folk blood, plus the Judgment blood that everyone possessed, and his own Revelation high-level strength. It wouldn't be difficult to slowly grow back his hands and feet in a few years.

"Ah, luckily I haven't killed anyone, otherwise, no matter how much I surrender and repent, I wouldn't be able to avoid being struck to death by the Judgment Lord's lightning!"

Sighing, Nide noticed someone approaching him on the deck. He turned his head and saw it was his boatswain, the valiant man with Wind Folk blood.

The boatswain was a local of the Sea Folk. He was once a whale hunter, but due to an accident, he drifted at sea. Nide saved him, and since then, the Wind Folk had been loyal to Nide.

And now, the most loyal boatswain also had a worried look: "Captain, are you really going to turn yourself in?"

"Yes."

Sighing, Nide reached out and patted his subordinate's shoulder: "It's okay, those people in Twilight City only recognize me. As long as you change your names and hide in the mountains, you can always survive as hunters with the skills I taught you."

"According to the covenant, as long as the temple can't determine your crimes, then they can't judge you—once I'm judged, they'll be too lazy to care about you little bastards."

"Captain Nide!"

Instantly, whether it was the boatswain, the first mate, or the surrounding sailors, upon hearing that Nide, as their captain, seemed to be planning to bear all the crimes alone, they were moved to tears. Everyone couldn't help but shout Nide's name, praising his greatness.

But to tell the truth, Nide wasn't really that responsible.

Just by reading the covenant, the captain knew that if he really stood on the judgment platform and his crew hated him, then the Judgment God's divine punishment would be heavier—in that case, since he couldn't escape anyway, he might as well do a favor.

"I have to say, the precepts in this covenant aren't all bad, even for a criminal pirate like me, it has rules and regulations prepared."

After flipping through a few more pages of the covenant, Nide couldn't bear to read it anymore. He closed it with a snap. The towering man raised his head, gazing at the gradually approaching coast in the distance, his eyes with a hint of worry.

"When I'm bound by the law, I feel that this covenant is simply inhuman and dog-gone… but when I'm protected by the law, I feel that this covenant is really good, the stricter the better, the more rigidly it's implemented, the better!"

Thinking so, Nide couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, life is so damn hard!"

In fact, even after witnessing the Judgment Lord's divine descent miracle a few days ago, the Wild Boar Pirate Crew hadn't made up their minds to repent and surrender.

They were just lingering near the Joyful Sea, observing Twilight City's reaction.

But just a day ago, they saw the huge shadow of the Judgment Dragon standing in the city center—this immediately detonated the already uneasy atmosphere on the entire ship. For a time, there were many sailors who were so scared that they wanted to jump into the sea and commit suicide.

However, the last straw that truly broke the camel's back came from other pirates.

At that time, the Wild Boar Pirate Crew, still hesitating because of the Judgment Dragon's manifestation, was still wandering in the distant sea.

But suddenly, a huge concave vortex suddenly appeared on the sea surface. It was like a deep abyss, swallowing the entire Wild Boar pirate ship, submerging it underwater.

And among the surging waves and schools of fish, Nide, who was swallowed into the sea and extremely terrified, saw a magical ship traveling underwater, glowing with a faint blue magical light.

And on the deck of this ship, he saw a well-known great pirate.

One of the Seven Sea Kings, the King of the Sea of ​​Troubles, the master of the Deep Diver.

Gloaming · Alber.

"Explore the surroundings of Twilight City, go attack those fishermen, and collect news about the Judgment Lord!"

"If you can't do it, you have no value in existing."

Ordering so, Alber didn't show any mercy. The chilling intent, as if from the depths of the ocean, almost froze the minds and bodies of the entire Wild Boar Pirate Crew.

He threatened Nide's life, forcing him to attack the fishermen and explore the reasons for the appearance of the Judgment Dragon's shadow in Twilight City, as well as intelligence related to recent various anomalies—not to mention disagreeing, Nide felt that even if he hesitated for a moment, he would be directly sunk into the deep sea by the other party, and the entire ship would become food for marine life, like a whale fall.

——Attacking Twilight City's fishing boats when there's a Judgment Lord miracle? Please, that's not how you seek death.

But resisting a Pirate King's will at sea? Seriously, that's just dying a few days later.

"In that case, I might as well surrender!"

Ultimately, Nide was still an optimistic person.

Thinking about it, he turned from worry to joy, even laughing out loud: "Hmph—even that dog Alber wouldn't have thought that I, Nide, could surrender so decisively, so without any psychological burden!"

This mood lasted until a sailor, who was observing the distance from the watchtower, issued a warning in shock.

"Captain! Look ahead! There's an anomaly!"

"What?!"

Suddenly startled, Nide immediately pulled out a telescope from his waist and hurriedly looked.

Then, his heart suddenly jumped.

At this moment, not far away in Twilight City's near sea, a sacred figure was slowly walking on the sea surface, slowly walking towards them.

The figure's every step caused the sea tide within a few kilometers to cease, no longer surging waves, but as calm as a mirror. The light of the stars and moon was reflected on the sea surface, as magnificent as a replica of the night sky.

A miracle!

This person was so powerful—more powerful than Twilight City High Priest Gelo, even more powerful than Pirate King Alber!

And it wasn't just a little, it was many, many times more powerful!

Because he had been walking in the sea for many years, Nide knew how great the power of the tide was—it was a violent force that, once gathered, could shatter any large ship.

Not to mention, it was currently high tide at night… to flatten the rising seawater, with an area of several square kilometers, or even an entire sea surface… even those blessed by gods, the four Sea Emperors, couldn't do it, right?

But, what Nide was most concerned about was the aura on the other party.

——It was the exact same aura that they had witnessed not long ago, during the Judgment Lord's divine descent miracle!

"Could, could it be?!"

Staring blankly at the incomparably powerful figure, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Nide's mind.

So, when Su Zhou came to this pirate ship not long after, he was somewhat puzzled to find that most of the people on this ship were respectfully kneeling on the deck, waiting for his arrival.

"My Lord!"

Headed by the one-eyed captain, the members of the entire Wild Boar Pirate Crew were arranged in a triangular formation, neatly presenting a prostrate posture—when Su Zhou boarded the ship, they showed no signs of resistance or escape, just shouted in unison, and then continued to maintain this state without moving.

"...What's going on?"

Arriving at the bow, Su Zhou saw the white flag next to him. He turned his head to look at Aimon somewhat inexplicably, and then said with confusion: "Although I originally intended to show my strength to scare them, but this reaction is too much—kneeling so neatly, could it be that all pirates who want to surrender are like this?"

"...No, I haven't encountered many pirates surrendering in all these years."

The gray-haired priest next to him also stared blankly at this scene, obviously not understanding what was going on—he picked up the covenant somewhat at a loss, seeming to want to find a similar situation description from it, but Captain Nide's sudden roar interrupted his thoughts.

"Judgment Lord is above! A few days ago, our Wild Boar Pirate Crew witnessed my Lord's divine descent, and collectively decided to turn over a new leaf and be a new person—according to the covenant, we will offer our flag, submit a letter of surrender to any cleric, and disarm all weapons, showing our sincerity!"

Obviously, this series of words was not Nide's level at all. It was the content of the letter of surrender that had been prepared long ago.

After the captain finished reciting it in one breath, he decisively raised his hand and offered the pink pig flag in his hand to the group in front of him.

Although it sounded like there were no flaws, from the extremely nervous gazes of the many pirates, filled with awe and worship, and even some voices of low repentance, it could be seen that all the members of the Wild Boar Pirate Crew regarded Su Zhou as the divine descent of the Judgment Lord.

——Even if he wasn't, it wasn't strange to worship a god-blessed person like this.

Living was not shameful.

"...They actually guessed correctly."

Faced with the worship of such a group of people, Su Zhou sensed a strand of real, unadulterated power of faith gathering towards him—although it was trivial and the quality was very low, it did exist.

He immediately showed a subtle expression: "Has the power of faith really been generated… this at least shows that their surrender is still considered sincere."

"In that case…"

The matter of subduing the Wild Boar Pirate Crew didn't cost Su Zhou any effort.

Not to mention that they wanted to surrender in the first place, and not to mention Su Zhou's identity as the Judgment God, just by casually revealing Su Zhou's absolute power, they would probably all kneel down and shout surrender.

So, when Su Zhou asked the Wild Boar Pirate Crew to explain the cause and effect, Nide, as the captain, didn't hesitate. He simply put his hands together, knelt in front of Su Zhou, and honestly told the entire series of events, including the divine descent, the struggle to surrender or not, encountering Alber while wandering, and being coerced by the other party, and finally completely deciding to surrender, clearly and without half a lie.

"My Lord! Please forgive us!"

Kneeling in front of Su Zhou, Nide originally wanted to pretend to be crying bitterly, expressing the sincerity of his repentance with a look of great emotion, and his devout faith in the Judgment Lord.

But after all, he didn't have the talent of a performing artist. After wailing for a long time, except for some of the sailors who really believed it, the only result was that Su Zhou impatiently interrupted him, and then he restrained himself a little: "We didn't vow to repent at the moment we witnessed your divine grace, it was really our cowardice, timidity, and hesitation, but in the covenant, the Judgment Lord's sacred words say: 'If an evildoer voluntarily intends to repent and correct himself, his repentance should be accepted, and judgment will be made again'."

"We are willing to change our ways and return to the path of faith!"

"Return to the path of faith!"

Instantly, Nide's voice, and the voices of all the sailors on the entire pirate ship, rang out in unison, causing Aimon to frown slightly, and even Sara next to him couldn't help but cover her ears, and then looked at Su Zhou with a shocked expression.

——He, is he actually the incarnation of the Judgment Lord?

Thinking so, the Wind Folk girl subconsciously touched her abdomen: "In that case, I just… ate a string of grilled fish that the God grilled for me?!"

"No, no, no, this should be 'Sacred Food'!"

"Alright, alright… although it's true that you want to surrender, but first I have to ask, what crimes have you committed?"

Su Zhou also felt quite amused by the behavior of the Wild Boar Pirate Crew—this group of pirates was not quite what he had imagined, and looking at it from the perspective of Curses, there were only a few people on the entire ship with the aura of bloody killings, and most of the members of the pirate ship had not yet reached the point where the Curses they carried were as deep as ink.

In other words, they hadn't reached the point where they had to be killed.

"Uh, my Lord—"

Actually, Nide couldn't be sure before whether Su Zhou was the Judgment Lord—but whether he was or not, he would first adopt the posture, at least it wouldn't bring a bad impression to the other party.

But when he gradually felt the true and unadulterated divine pressure from the young man in front of him, whose appearance he couldn't even see clearly, the burly man's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and his tone became extremely respectful: "We have robbed fishing boats, robbed merchant ships, and also plundered other pirate ships, and there have been deadly fights… In addition, we have also killed many sea monsters…"

"As for killing the Fire Folk on the shore, we dare not—killing the Fire Folk is a taboo among taboos, even pirates, unless necessary, will never kill the Wind and Fire Folk who are protected by God, after all, who knows when the Judgment Lord's divine punishment will descend?"

He was fearful and apprehensive.

And Su Zhou could feel that the other party was not lying.

Thinking carefully, it was indeed so—although the Judgment God's divine power would not descend on the sea, who could guarantee that they would never go ashore in their lives?

Not to mention, this world did have real gods after all. Even the Sea Folk, who claimed not to believe in gods, only didn't obey the gods' precepts, but didn't deny the existence of gods.

They didn't say it out loud, but they were actually in awe in their hearts.

Apart from a few pirates, they weren't really lawless.

In a sense, Su Zhou felt that the existence of pirates and Fire Folk was like a side of faith—completely denying a certain order, but proving that its existence itself was a derivation of this order.

It was like the relationship between God and the Devil.

The Wild Boar Pirate Crew was obviously an evil person who should be judged.

But to be honest, if Su Zhou personally judged them, as an outsider to this world, he couldn't guarantee that he would be absolutely fair and just, so he decided that he would throw all these pirates to the Twilight City Temple later, so that the locals could decide the fate of these repentant pirates.

What he was more concerned about was the existence of Gloaming Alber, the Pirate King of the Sea of ​​Troubles, who had a large pirate ship that could submerge, which Nide had mentioned.

"Pirate King…"

Just standing on the deck, Su Zhou glanced at the crouching pirates in front of him with respect, and nodded thoughtfully.

The power system of the Reincarnation World was biased towards the elemental magic of the Western Earth, and the immortal spiritual ways of the East. They emphasized the power of the soul and belief, and the control of the four elements.

The so-called Revelation Level, the ordinary priest, was equivalent to the Awakening Stage, and the Chosen One, the local high priest and high priest, was the Extraordinary Stage.

The God-blessed was undoubtedly a powerhouse of the Commander Stage—the heads of the three gods' churches, and the heads of some major organizations in the sanctuary, were all God-blessed.

The Sacred Fire Kingdom has continued for more than three hundred years. Apart from the first few God-blessed who lost contact for various reasons, most of the God-blessed are still alive, so now, the Sacred Fire Kingdom has a total of twenty-four God-blessed, forming the core class of the Central Sanctuary.

And among the Sea Folk and many pirates distributed in the Seven Seas, after more than a hundred years of reproduction, there have also appeared seven powerful Sea Kings and Sea Emperors comparable to the God-blessed.

Among them, those who can fight against the God-blessed only by relying on their own strength, without relying on any external force, are the Sea Emperors, there are four of them.

And those who can temporarily exert the power of the God-blessed level by relying on other forces are the Sea Kings, there are three of them.

Alber, the King of the Sea of ​​Troubles, is a Sea King. Relying on his chariot, the Deep Diver, in the sea, he can temporarily exert the powerful power comparable to the God-blessed.

"The power of the pirates is actually very strong. The Sacred Fire Continent is very vast, and the God-blessed adults need to guard various places, and they are not as free as these pirates."

Following behind Su Zhou, Aimon explained: "Fortunately, each of the strong among these pirates has taken the 'Fragments of the Soul of the Source Water', and it is precisely through this strange object that they can obtain the power comparable to the strong of the sanctuary."

"And the price is that they can't go to the mainland. As soon as they come ashore, their powerful power will begin to decline rapidly, and even die."

"So, the sanctuary has no power to attack and destroy the pirates, and the pirates have no way to attack the shore?"

Su Zhou nodded, he understood the situation of this continent, he shook his head slightly: "Such a fragile balance… and in this way, if those pirates have any conspiracies, wouldn't you know anything?"

"Our fault, my Lord…"

Aimon lowered his head somewhat guiltily.

The gray-haired priest knew very well that the coastal fishing villages and cities in various places were generally only harassed by pirates, and had no power to explore the actions of pirates in the sea—they really could not grasp the movements of these enemies of the pirates.

And Sara next to him muttered in a low voice: "These priests really don't know anything—even we are clear that those pirate kings have been changing strangely since more than ten years ago, my grandmother's generation!"

"My Lord, do you want to catch Alber?"

But soon, Aimon raised his head, he noticed Su Zhou's thoughts, and the young man nodded: "The Wild Boar Pirate Crew doesn't know much news. Nide, this person, in the end, is more like a free-spirited wanderer than a pirate. He has not integrated into the local pirate circle at all, and has been wandering along the coast."

Saying so, Su Zhou walked to the ship's side of the Wild Boar, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the depths of the seabed: "On the contrary, I am quite surprised and delighted that a Pirate King is now around the Joyful Sea—the time is not long, he probably hasn't left yet, it's not difficult to catch them."

But Aimon hesitated a little about this.

"But my Lord, Gloaming Alber's chariot, the Deep Diver, is a magic ship that has been strongly magically modified—it can dive to thousands of meters deep in the sea, and sail in absolute silence, and Alber's title comes from this, just like a faint gloom passing silently in the ocean."

Although he wasn't very clear about the specific situation in the sea, the clerics were still familiar with the information of the Pirate King, and he said with some unease: "And the sea will hinder your divine power—my Lord, I believe that in front of you, even if the Seven Sea Kings gather together, it's just a small matter that can be easily solved in a moment, but the sea itself… is very mysterious."

This wasn't Aimon being pessimistic.

For more than a hundred years, the Judgment Lord's divine punishment has indeed been unable to extend to the sea. His divine domain is only limited to two continents, so for Aimon and other clerics, they really think that the Judgment Lord's power cannot be extended to the ocean.

No, not think, the Judgment God of the Reincarnation World really has no way to extend his power to the ocean.

——But then again, Su Zhou is not the Judgment God.

"There's no way to find a magic ship hidden in the sea?"

Saying to himself, Su Zhou walked down the Wild Boar with a smile and came to the calm sea: "That's not necessarily."

Then, he showed the powerful aura he simulated from the 'True Dragon' clan!

In an instant, a rumbling sound rang out—

The strong wind that suddenly blew up was like a tornado, rotating rapidly with Su Zhou as the center. It caused the originally calm sea surface to suddenly break, setting off circles of perfect concentric waves, and setting off equally vast waves in the spirit world.

Simulate—it was indeed a simulation. Su Zhou's transformation was not made using the Míngxiōng Transformation Dragon Art, his true body only looked like a dragon, although it did contain some elements of the Eastern True Dragon, such as tail fins and the supernatural power to call wind and rain.

But, Su Zhou is indeed not a True Dragon.

He just looks like one.

Just like he looks like the Judgment God, but he is not like that… in a sense, he is a pirated product that is more realistic than the genuine product.

But whether it is a pirated product or not, in the sea, what will be the consequences of releasing the aura of a True Dragon?

A few minutes later, Aimon, Sara, and the members of the entire Wild Boar Pirate Crew, who were watching this scene, all took a breath of cold air.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Along with the sound of water rippling, various strange shadows appeared under the sea on all sides.

After that, accompanied by the sound of the sea being stirred, shadows emerged from under the sea.

Fish.

That was thousands of thousands of sea fish, gathered from nowhere, approaching Su Zhou as if on a pilgrimage.

No, it wasn't just sea fish—it could be seen that huge shark fins were riding the wind and waves on the sea surface, and the high-pitched whale songs were also ringing from far to near. Even multiple whale songs were played together, forming a concert on this sea surface.

Giant crabs, giant shrimps, octopuses, squids, and even floating magic sea urchins, huge spirit sea shells, and some sea creatures that God knows what they are called, have all begun to approach Su Zhou's direction in a short few minutes—in an instant, the entire Wild Boar was surrounded by all kinds of sea beasts and sea fish in a chaotic dance. The sea surface within a few kilometers was all filled with these sea beasts.

The huge waves, and the terrifying storm set off by the countless spiritual energies gathering, were churning because of these gathered fish and sea beasts. Their powers gathered together, and they instinctively stirred the world. If Su Zhou hadn't forcibly suppressed these waves, I'm afraid even the distant Twilight City seaport would be affected by waves several meters high, causing unnecessary losses.

"Those pirates are really funny."

Standing in the center of the embrace of countless sea beasts, Su Zhou stretched out his hand and touched the head of a dolphin next to him that was extremely excited and couldn't help but want to get close to Su Zhou. The young man smiled and looked around the sea, and the many sea beasts: "They can't even talk to fish, how dare they call themselves Sea Emperors?"

"I am the real Sea Emperor!"

"My, my Lord ah…"

At this time, compared to Sara, who made a kindergarten-level exclamation of 'Oh, so amazing!', and Nide, who made an uncultured-level exclamation of 'Damn, so strong!', Aimon at this time was truly shocked: "You can actually summon sea beasts?!"

"Why has this power never been mentioned in the covenant…"

"So, don't believe everything in the covenant—it's better to have no book than to believe everything in a book."

Hearing this, Su Zhou laughed, and then, he stretched out his hand, the Dragon Serpent source, which was not a True Dragon, issued orders to the many sea beasts: "Come, find me that faint glow hidden in the sea!"

"Don't worry, I won't be stingy with rewards—go!"

——Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Hearing Su Zhou's order, and the promised reward, instantly, tens of thousands of sea fish and sea beasts all let out silent cheers, they vibrated the sea and rippled.

Then, just like that, they dived into the seabed and swam rapidly towards the deep sea.

At the same time.

The period of time before Su Zhou summoned many sea beasts.

Twilight City, Twilight Great Temple.

The local temple director, High Priest Gelo, paced back and forth in his simple room, looking restless.

This was an old man much older than Aimon, he had a white beard that reached his chest, and his face had many wrinkles, which looked very old.

Because the covenant said that the priest has already enjoyed the grace of the spirit, so there should be no material enjoyment. All the priests, regardless of their strength, can only have the basic level of material enjoyment, so the room of the high priest with the strength of the Chosen One is no different from that of ordinary fishermen.

"...Well, I can't ignore it."

The old man with a long beard wandered in his room for a long time, but in the end, when he stood in front of the window and looked at the starry sky, he finally made up his mind.

Then, he returned to his bedside and took out a disc-shaped communication magic circle base, all black, from the secret box hidden on the side of the bedside table.

Gelo hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and activating the communication magic circle.

Buzz——buzz——

After a while.

The runes on the communication magic circle lit up with a light blue light, and a low and calm voice rang out.

"It's rare, you actually took the initiative to contact me."

If there were people familiar with pirates here, they would definitely be shocked to find that the owner of this voice was actually Alber, the King of the Sea of ​​Troubles!

And what he said to Gelo next was even more shocking.

"Father?"

Today there is only one update, take a rest (but there are nearly 9000 words!)
