At the edge of the Zhongsunya Sea, the darkness is connected to the sky. The sparse and dim stars are embedded in the sky, barely acting as guides for the ships passing by. Although the red moon is not perfect, it is huge, and it is watching the ship sailing on the sea faintly.
Sailing ship off this sea.
It was a huge sailing ship, with ten white stars of the same size on the sail, and those stars surrounded a cold eye without eyelashes, seeming to stare back at the crimson sky.
This is the ship of the pirate general, "Star Admiral" Cattleya.
On the deck, Cattleya wore a black classical robe with many symbolic symbols and magic signs painted on it. The most obvious one was a mysterious eye, an eye without eyelashes. There was also an astrology hanging on her waist.
Items such as short scepters are like the powerful wizards active in the Fourth Age in folklore.
She held a pair of heavy glasses in her hands, and the deep purple in her eyes seemed to have turned into an abyss that could suck the soul. She was observing the sky in the direction of the Rhoside Islands and the sparse stars above.
As a Sequence 5 "astrologer", she no longer needs astrological crystals and astrological instruments to perform divination with the help of changes in the stars.
In her eyes, the sparse stars in the sky in the direction of the Rhoside Islands have turned into divination prophecies, telling her that this sea area will usher in a huge storm. Just on the edge of the storm, the "Future" has
May be torn into pieces.
The sound of footsteps as heavy as a giant bear came, causing Cattleya to turn slightly sideways, put on the pair of heavy glasses again, covered her dark purple eyes, and looked at the person.
"Captain, Autolov said that we can leave the Zhongsunya Sea no later than early tomorrow morning."
A man in overalls and a white shirt walked out of the cabin entrance. He was about thirty, with a strong build and thick hair, so that his exposed forearms seemed to be covered with a brown sweater.
cap.
He held two paper bags in his hands, which exuded the fragrant aroma of fruits and wheat:
"Captain, would you like one? There's apple flavor and orange flavor."
"No, it's too late."
Cattleya subconsciously took a step back. She knew that it was Frank's bread made from fruit-flavored wheat that was hybridized between fruits and wheat to cope with the shortage of fruits and vegetables on the ship that were prone to spoilage.
"Okay then." Frank didn't force it. He took out two portions of bread with his hairy hands and chewed them.
While looking away, Cattleya moved lightly towards the captain's cabin. She nodded to the second officer "Bloodless" Heath Doyle in the shadow, opened the door, and the "Peeper"
Spirituality made her move her eyes to the desk where the brass sextant was placed, and there was an additional letter there.
She stopped, doubt rising in her brows, and at the same time a bit of joy, she walked over quickly with anxiety, picked up the letter, and opened it.
After just looking at it for a few times, he folded the letter and put it away, dragged his body out of the phantom, rushed to the stern of the ship, and said to Navigator Ottolov who was at the helm:
"Go back, go back the way we came, let's go to the Rossed Sea."
"Captain, didn't you say it's dangerous there?" Nina, the "undersea killer" who serves as the boatswain and the navigator's deputy, asked doubtfully.
The navigator Ottolov, who was wearing a pointed soft hat, was holding the rudder of the ship with one hand and stroking his beard with the other hand:
"Then we'll need at least a week."
This is the time required for normal travel, but the "Future" is blessed with ritual magic and can fly briefly, which can shorten the time by half.
"No need." After roughly estimating the time, Cattleya looked at the deep and calm sea that seemed to hide an abyss, "It's not safe there, we need to be prepared."
…
At the edge of the Rossed Sea, a huge dark sailboat suddenly appeared, pushing away the sea water. It was nearly a hundred meters long, with high sails and a cannon on the side. The back half of the hull was a little illusory, and it took a few seconds to recover.
normal.
In the captain's room on the third floor of the cabin, candles as thick as a baby's arm were lit on the candlesticks hanging from high places, emitting endless light and dispelling the darkness in the corners.
The owner of the "Black Emperor" and the "King of the Five Seas" Nast did not sit on his throne, but sat on the main seat at the long table in the captain's cabin, still wearing a pointed crown and a shawl.
Wearing a gorgeous robe with black background and silver trim.
He crossed his fingers and placed it on the long table. On the right side was a black metal object. Dots of gold and red on the surface wandered irregularly. After almost covering the entire thing, it returned to silent black.
A clean white tablecloth is spread on the long table, gorgeous silver candlesticks and tableware are neatly placed, braised Dagoya beef short ribs, black truffle porcini, Intis-style foie gras, onion soup, cold roast chicken and various other dishes.
Style dessert, a bottle of 1173 Ormere red wine preserved by magic.
All the dishes seemed to be in a stagnant state, the soup did not emit heat, the ice cream did not have air-conditioning, and even the candlelight stopped beating, as if they had slipped into a loophole in time.
After an unknown amount of time, dreamlike bubbles rose across the long table, and a figure appeared there. She was wearing an olive green dress and an old gauze hat. The fine-checked tulle was lifted up, revealing straight eyebrows and blue eyes.
, looking at the Intis feast in front of him without any expression fluctuation.
As the guests arrived, Nast, who was sitting at the main seat, also opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and patted the surface of the metal object. After a majestic "dang", the fragrant mixed aroma spread in the room, and the heat and
The air-conditioning converged and the candlelight began to beat, as if time began to flow at this moment.
"The Clock of Entropy" comes from the "Duke of Entropy" in Sequence 2.
"Queen of Mystery" Bernadette's expression did not change because of this dangerous sealed object. Her eyes that seemed to contain the ocean stared closely at the bottle of red wine. There was only a paper label attached to the dark bottle.
, above is a line of cursive Intis text:
"To the great consul of Intis, Russell Gustav.
Happy birthday to my father!
Bernadette Gustave.”
This was a birthday gift she gave to her father when he became the consul of Intis.
"What do you want to do?" Bernadette looked back.
"Make a prediction for me." Nast looked at the "Entropy Clock" on the right.
"Backlund once had the thief 'Black Emperor'."
"My spirituality told me that was not my chance."
"The Rhoad Islands have your chance, but the hidden dangers are deadly enough, Grove Augustus, Pablo Connery, Emilius Leavitt, Edward Laito."
As the "Master of Prophecy", Bernadette knows very well that prophecy is not omnipotent. Now the fate intertwined over the Rossed Sea has been covered with a layer of fog. In the extraordinary world, the fate of most demigods is usually like this, because they are very
It is easy to attract the arrival of the angelic level.
"That's enough." Nast's dark eyes were filled with dark red, and his fingers with clear joints were interlaced and pressed on the back of his hand.
The bottle of red wine from 1173 seemed to be held up by an invisible spirit and brought to Bernadette's eyes. It turned into foam and disappeared into the captain's cabin.
…
Beihai, shallow sea Naga tribe, inside the palace with piles of gray and white rocks.
Naga Queen Yin Roda sat on the throne, her upper body straight, her gray eyes scrutinizing the man standing at the front of the group of humans, Rawls, who was wearing a black formal suit, wearing a silk hat, and holding a cane, and the pirate behind him.
The tribes are very different.
But to Queen Naga, there is no difference, they are just human beings.
But the problem is, he doesn't seem to have entered Sequence 4.
Even in the second era, the Nagas and elves were no longer as crazy and chaotic as their ancestors. In the third era, Yin Luoda, a shallow sea Naga tribe, had frequent contact with humans, and it was not until the cataclysm that contact was completely severed.
, but the strong will always command the weak, and strength is the first criterion of measurement.
If her daughter is not a Sequence 5 "Pain Witch", she will not receive preferential treatment just because she is the daughter of the Naga Queen.
Only if you are in Sequence 4 like her and the priest, factors such as status, experience, wisdom, etc. will be considered.
But humans would actually allow a person who has never become a demigod to command a demigod. This is absolutely incomprehensible to Naga.
The Naga priest raised his eyelids, his slightly cloudy eyes seemed to have no focus:
"Humans, what is your plan?"
Her voice was old and there was no hint of emotion or anger.
"We don't know as much about the Deep Sea Nagas as you two, so naturally we have to follow your plans." Rawls, who had changed into a younger face and looked less than twenty years old, smiled and pressed his hands on
On the cane.
"Human!"
Queen Yin Luoda's gray-blue hair floated one by one, becoming thicker and as thick as a finger. Her six arms stretched out like a spider, and the quietly burning black flames stayed obediently in her two white palms.
A layer of white frost spread forward from the throne.
"Are you provoking the Asana Naga tribe?"
Just when Alicia, Andreevich, and Gerald were about to make a move, they saw Rawls standing in front of them raising his left hand to signal them to stop.
But until the layer of white frost spread to about ten centimeters in front of him, Rawls still didn't make any move. He just looked down at the frost that almost touched the golden cane but stopped spreading.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Naga priest who was about to speak, and he spoke first:
"Naga Queen, it seems that you do not agree with our views, so it is up to us to help you eliminate the Deep Sea Nagas. You follow my arrangements."
Yin Luoda's grey-blue long hair with a smooth texture became thicker. The black flame burning quietly in the palm of her hand expanded a bit, and the frost that no longer spread moved forward a few centimeters, crossing the golden-cast layer.
When the cane was about to touch the edge of Rawls's shoes, the latter suddenly moved.
Without stepping back or moving sideways, his feet still stood on the same spot. Rawls held the cane in his right hand and focused on the sealskin carpet covered with ice. Clusters of illusory golden flames spread along the carpet and spread out.
The majestic breath of the sun melts the frost on the surface of the carpet and evaporates water mist.
"The Staff of Power" is already difficult for him to use in battle, but in terms of scene special effects, it is even better than the mid-to-low sequences of the "Sailor" path, otherwise it is obviously "The Hanged Man" and "The Sun"
How could the white creation of the dual-path true god be called the Sun God?
"Queen Naga, follow your plan, but you don't agree. Follow my plan, but you don't agree either. I want to ask, do you really want to cooperate with us?"
He paused his cane again, letting the burning golden flames retreat back, as if shrinking back into the cane, and an aura no less than that of a demigod enveloped the hall.
The majesty and power itself belong to the authority of the "Judge" and the "Black Emperor", but compared to the rules and loopholes, it is incidental, just like the authority of fate controlled by the "Fool".
If fighting head-on, Rawls would never be a match for Queen Naga, but if they only competed for momentum, they would never lose to the opponent, so before releasing his momentum, he withdrew the Flame of Light.
Because Queen Yin Luoda, who felt the slightest threat, was no longer just pretending. She "stood" on the throne, with six slender white arms spread out, and six black flames that swelled to the size of a human head were suspended in the palm of her hand, invisible in the air.
Thin lines spread from all around her, and although the gray-blue hair did not become thicker, it became longer, almost touching the ceiling.
She was like a huge monster made up of spiders, snakes, and beauties, occupying one end of the hall.
But despite this, she still didn't take action, which was within Rawls' expectation.
For the shallow-sea Nagas, the deep-sea Nagas who have touched some taboos must be eliminated after cooperating with humans. The latter live in the deep sea and mainly have the special characteristics of "sailor" path extraordinary people.
They have no assurance of having the upper hand, unless they are willing to pay the price of the tribe's demise.
Andreevich and others who mistakenly entered the tribe and had "enmity" with the Deep Sea Naga allies were their best helpers. Especially the arrival of Alicia gave them three times the high-end combat power of their enemies.
.
This is why in the face of Alicia's request, even if there is a risk that the deep sea Naga will summon a large number of sea monsters, he must agree.
But facing a heterogeneous ally with unknown strength, establishing dominance and avoiding being lumped together is what Asami Naga must do. Even Nagas in the tribal period will use the red and white face.
But for Rawls, who can still make a difference in the political arena, this method is indeed a bit crude.
The shallow sea Nagas had no way out. They didn't know what method they used to get the Deep Sea Nagas to find the "Deep Sea Vice Admiral" and summon a large number of sea monsters. This allowed the two tribes, which were already close to each other, to achieve the goal.
A balance in strength.
And Rawls can completely abandon them and leave the North Sea with the "Twilight", because the shallow sea Naga cannot understand that Andreevich and others are looking for "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea" just for reputation, not hatred.
Therefore, he does not need Asami Naga as an ally, but Asami Naga cannot lose its ally, otherwise it will only lead to destruction.
