What Victor needs to do in the next stage is to gradually recruit well-known bounty hunters from the four outer seas, and use them as a starting point to gradually gather the bounty hunters from the outer seas.
Meeting Byron, the 'Universal Instrument', on Fish-Man Island at this time was purely accidental, but this did not prevent Victor from making plans in advance. He happily paid Byron's 4 million Beli drink bill, and the latter weighed
Seeing the difference in strength between himself and Wang Xia Qiwuhai, he quickly gave up the unrealistic idea of escaping secretly.
"Oh... what a generous guest." After Mrs. Charlie received the drink bill, her cold smile became a little more enthusiastic: "Shouldn't we have charged more just now?"
"It's a pity that he is worth at most 4 million berries." Ignoring Byron's resentful look, Victor smiled and said heart-piercing words: "I didn't come here just to drink expensive rip-off coffee, Xia
Mrs. Leigh."
"Oh, it's too old to call me old~ Guest, you can just call me Charlie." Mrs. Charlie laughed so hard: "It's not just for drinking coffee, and I'm not very enthusiastic about the mermaid reception that the Mermaid Cafe is proud of.
, little brother, what are you here to do?"
"Divination." Victor smiled slightly: "I want you to do a divination for me."
"What a tasteless answer..." Mrs. Charlie's smile turned cold: "I'm tired of divination. And..."
She took out a water pipe, took a puff and blew out a string of bubbles. She tilted her head and said, "What are you going to pay for the divination fee?"
Victor's index finger rested on the shell table, his dull voice perfectly matched Mrs. Charlie's heartbeat, and his gentle voice lingered in her ears: "In the next week, I will protect the safety of Fish-Man Island.
Of course, that also includes your safety.”
"You..." Mrs. Charlie stared blankly at Victor's confident face. She originally wanted to make a sarcastic comment but swallowed it back. She lost interest and waved her hand and said, "How many of these people..."
All the drinks are free of charge. I’m tired, so I’ll go back and rest for a while, and I’ll leave it to you girls outside.”
After saying that, she swayed the black-finned fish tail and returned to the back room.
Byron was horrified. He said that the strong will of this person was simply amazing. He spoke mercilessly in the face of a beautiful woman like Mrs. Charlie. It was as if his youth had been cut off directly. It was completely unacceptable.
Is it almost womanly?
Wu Hongji looked at Victor worriedly, but the latter drank the expensive mug of coffee very calmly, neither saying anything to persuade Mrs. Charlie to stay nor showing any signs of leaving.
Not long after, the door to the back room was suddenly pushed open. Mrs. Charlie rushed out of the back room with her face covered in cold sweat and her face frightened. Her cold blue eyes stared at Victor for a long time.
She asked with difficulty: "...when?"
Victor put the coffee cup back on the table and showed a gentle smile: "If nothing else, it will be in the next few days."
"...Then it will be a week later. Close the store and see the customers away!" Mrs. Charlie took a deep look at Victor, then turned around and returned to the back room with a fishtail, slamming the door open.
Although the mermaid girls were a little at a loss, they still followed Mrs. Charlie's instructions and sent Victor and his party out of the cafe apologetically. Of course, Byron was also included.
Outside the cafe is the main road of Coral Hill. Robin hailed a large fish taxi. The group of people sat in the large bubble on the back of the fish taxi and headed towards the place agreed upon with Haoxue.
"Victor, why did Mrs. Charlie agree to it later?" Wu Hongji asked curiously in the fish taxi.
"Beautiful lady, please let me answer this question." Byron sat cross-legged on his seat, adjusting the strings of the lute, and said: "Mrs. Charlie is a well-known figure on Fishman Island. Regarding [divination]
】 Very good at it. When she was very young, she once said "There will be many pirates coming to the island", and as a result, the "Great Pirate Age" began the next year. There are countless similar stories, the most recent one is "Pandwall"
Battle] and [Big Incident in Demon Valley Town], they were all right. But because all the unfortunate things came true, she herself was a little tired of divination. Oh, these are what those enthusiastic mermaid girls told me.
.”
As he said that, he glanced at Victor: "If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid she couldn't help but do some divination when she returned to the back room, and saw that a terrible incident was about to happen, so she agreed to the deal with the boss."
The character entered the scene very quickly, and the boss call started very smoothly.
At this time, the crowd below the fish taxi began to surge. People rushed to tell each other and shouted: "Empress Otohime is going to give a speech again!!"
"Is it for [that]?"
"It should be... let's go and have a look."
People seemed to have become accustomed to it, and they left in groups without even asking where the speech was.
"Hey? They seem to have taken it for granted?" Perona looked at the crowd below in surprise: "The Otohime Queen they are talking about is the one who arrived at Fish-Man Island earlier than us, right?"
"Otohime is very loved by the residents of this island. She is committed to promoting the integration of [Fishman Island] and [the human world]. She treats everyone very gently and is called a 'loving person'." Byron also found out.
He glanced down and said, "The venue for the speech should be [Gironcourt Square] located in the center of Fishman Island. I heard that Otohime always goes there to give speeches."
Victor thought for a while and made a decision: "After meeting with Mr. Haoxue, let's go there and have a look."
The fish taxi continues to move towards the [Fish People Cultural Center] in the southeast of Fishman Island.
……………………
Fishman Island, Coder Square, Geelong.
"...In other words, a word from the world's nobles can exert powerful power even in the 'World Conference', a meeting of kings!"
In the square, Princess Otohime stood on the podium and tried hard to persuade the residents of Fishman Island:
"So, we need more signatures that represent your true will! Please express your will to coexist with mankind and your will to move to land..."
The audience was silent as before. Princess Otohime lowered her hands holding the signature box with a somewhat lonely expression. This is already the best opportunity. Is there still no hope?
At this time, several murloc children ran to the stage and threw the signature sheets in their hands into the box.
Princess Otohime asked with both joy and anxiety: "Children... are you here to make me happy again? Aren't you going to take it back again?"
"No way! Mom said she wants to sign too!" the children shouted happily.
People in the square enthusiastically walked to the stage and put their signature sheets into the box. The small signature box quickly overflowed, just like the tears in Princess Otohime's eyes.
"Your Highness Otohime! Such a small box is simply not big enough. How many people do you think our country has?" The residents all laughed in good faith.
The guards brought a larger signature box, and Princess Otohime, who was so moved that she burst into tears, was persuaded by the ministers to leave the podium amidst the cheers and cheers of the residents, and reunited happily with the long-awaited princes and princesses.
After seven years, Otohime's good intentions finally bore fruit on this day.
In a corner of the square, Victor and Haoxue were standing in the corner, quietly watching the lively scene.
"Victor, is something wrong?" Haoxue was also moved at first, but he noticed Victor's frown.
"...Mr. Haoxue, the murlocs' hatred towards humans has not been completely resolved." Victor shook his head: "Fisher Tiger was a great murloc, but his death was a serious threat to the relationship between the murlocs and humans.
The relationship has caused an almost irreparable rift. And everyone, including Princess Otohime, seems to have ignored this."
"But... everyone's response was very enthusiastic!" Haoxue murmured in disbelief: "Wait a minute... you mean?"
"Yes, Fishman Street." Victor raised his head and looked at the lawless place in the distant sky that was independent of Fishman Island: "Fishman Street has been isolated from Fishman Island for too long, and that is where [hate] is best.
A hotbed. [Resentment] is constantly accumulating and expanding in the unfathomable and lawless ravines of the seabed. My 'Apocalypse' only sees infinitely growing [Hate] and [Resentment] in that distant dark place."
Others may think Victor's words are illusory, but Haoxue knows how terrifying Victor's innate special knowledge and domineering energy is, and he really sees it!
"Princess Otohime may have noticed this. But this opportunity is so good, so she has to mobilize the people first." Victor sighed: "Maybe she wants to collect as many signatures from residents as possible first.
, wait until the long-cherished wish is achieved at the World Conference, and then slowly resolve the grievances in Fishman Street from within."
"Isn't it good to do this?" Haoxue was puzzled.
"Those [resentments] lurking in the darkness will not allow her to succeed. When the list collection process enters the final stage, that is also the moment when everyone is least alert. At that time, [resentments] will definitely wait for an opportunity.
And move!”
There was cold sweat on Haoxue's forehead, and he said slowly: "You mean Princess Otohime will be assassinated? However, she also has the innate domineering power of knowledge..."
"If the mood fluctuates violently, the experience cannot unfold smoothly. Mr. Haoxue, you should also know this very well. However, please don't worry, since we are friends, then I will not sit idly by. We will go tonight
Dragon Palace City!”
Victor looked at the signature box on the high platform of the square in the distance and said in a leisurely tone:
"I will not let the [hope] of the fishmen be ruined here."
