Lifting the fishing rod hard, the fish bit the simple hook and came to Kane.
"Haha..."
After catching the fish, he took the simple fishhook out of the fish's mouth. Kane laughed twice and then brought the fish in front of him.
"Little Sergey, I caught you again. It's still the same as before. I won't let you go easily unless you listen to me tell a story."
The fish's mouth opened and closed, and a burst of blood bubbles appeared in it.
Holding the fish to his ear, Kane made a listening gesture.
"Oh, you are really good at bargaining, but I just like that about you. I like bargaining, so I decided to agree to your request."
As he spoke, Kane put the fish in his hand into the sea.
The glow of the light reflected the fish's blue-black body and its lifeless fish eyes. Parts of its sides were missing flesh and blood, revealing the neatly arranged fish bones underneath.
"So, little Sergey, what part of the story do you want to hear today?" Kane asked.
"You want to hear the story of the legendary pirate Sylvia? I know, this is your favorite part, but I already told you yesterday, so today I decided to change the story... About Most Will
How about Sen’s story?”
Seeing the fish swimming twice on the sea in front of him, Kane said with satisfaction:
"Most Wilson was a good man, very generous, kind and compassionate, but he was born in the wrong era."
As he spoke, Kane moved his eyes away from the fish and turned to look at the sea in the distance. The sea surface was still stable, and there was an all-embracing power in it.
"I once met him at a noble banquet. He is the director of the Erathia Regional Freelance Chamber of Commerce. He also has the status of a noble. Of course, it is only a title in honor and has no actual rights."
"King Griffinhart has always disliked those who belong to the Chamber of Commerce. He always said that those merchants are using their gold coins to tarnish our beautiful character, but Most does not belong to this group. He uses his
His noble character won the king's trust."
"Under Most's leadership, the Chamber of Commerce has flourished in Erathia, and more and more poor people can use their hard-working hands to exchange for a better life for them."
"For foreign refugees, Most treats them equally. There is no prejudice against identity or racial discrimination. Even green-skinned barbarians can be recognized by him as long as they show full diligence."
"However, the good times did not last long. Most's behavior caused dissatisfaction among the nobles. When King Griffin Heart was on the throne, he could still maintain superficial stability. With the coronation of the queen and the outbreak of the War of Virtue, Most died.
In the midst of war."
"The investigation shows that he died at the hands of refugees, but what kind of refugee can carry out a silent assassination and take away all the valuable items in the room without alerting the high-level guards?"
"No one would believe this result, but under greater resistance, the investigation into this incident was forced to stop, and all those who tried to find out the truth were punished in different ways."
As he spoke, Kane looked at the fish on the water in surprise.
"You don't believe this? Well, let me recall."
"Among them, Holes, the first knight of the kingdom, who swore to find out the results and punish the murderer, was transferred to Crorod... or Brakada, which is one of them anyway.
, and finally died in the hands of barbarians."
"With those green-skinned guys, how could they defeat the kingdom's number one legendary knight and kill him on the frontal battlefield? Those mages must have done something. Even if he questioned the order above, the legendary knight
Knights shouldn't be treated like this."
"Legendary Knight... How many legendary knights are there in the entire kingdom, not to mention someone like Hall who devoted his entire life to the existence of Erathia, but he was treated like this just because of his doubts." "There are many other people who have also suffered this kind of treatment. They either disappeared inexplicably or were sent to remote areas of the kingdom."
Looking at the fish on the water, Kane was startled.
"...How do I know this, you ask? Several of the original crew members of the Holy Griffin had such experiences, even myself."
"Ordinary nobles don't have the ability to do this. If we dig deeper, I'm afraid we can trace it all the way to our queen."
Kane sighed and held his head with his hands, trying to soothe his frown. At the same time, he stared at the water, trying to get an answer from the fish's mouth.
"You're right... It's not a good thing to talk about your king behind his back, but that is a thing of the past. I am no longer a knight, but a death knight."
"Necromantic magic has deeply affected my thinking, allowing me to look at the past events from a different perspective, more calmly, or more objectively, you know."
"She doesn't value good character in people like the old king. What she needs is absolute loyalty. But it is undeniable that Katherine Griffinhart is a true king, worthy of a knight's life.
Right, Sergey?"
The fish in the water swims twice.
"From this point of view, the necromancer is still interesting. 'Be loyal to me or sink into death.' How simple and clear, without any disguise." Kane said with a smile, imitating the tone of the former necromancer.
Just when Kane was about to continue saying something, his expression suddenly froze on his face, and then he burst into ecstasy, looking at the fish in the water, and said:
"Little Sergey, I just received a piece of good news from an undead creature. It's such great news. You won't be able to guess what happened."
After a deliberate pause, he gave the fish in the water a pass, and when he saw it swimming in circles, Kane said with satisfaction:
"We have discovered the existence of land on this endless ocean, and there are also traces of human biological activities. This is exciting news, right?"
After a pause, Kane nodded, pointed to the fish in the water, and showed a hearty smile. Of course, if his skin was not so pale, it might be a lot better.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone. Soon, you will have other companions." With that, Kane bent down and picked up the fish in the sea. "Let us set sail towards the unknown
land."
Following Kane's words, there was a vibration under his feet, and the water overflowed, and a huge pale surface emerged from the sea. It was an unknown number of undead creatures stacked together, like a moving island.
