Shallow sea Naga tribe, palace built of gray and white rocks.
The two "Witches of Despair" who had inspected the Undersea City returned here. The mutation there seemed to have been solved by the "red light" El Moria, and they found nothing unusual.
Whether it was the demise of the Deep Sea Naga or the "Disaster Priest" being easily killed by Alicia, they were both surprised and fearful in their hearts. So after returning, Priest Elm immediately sent out guards to invite
Rawls, complete the previous contract.
"Mr. Lister, Asami Naga is very grateful to you and your friends for your help, you have solved a big problem for us."
Rawls, who was still using the pseudonym Jeffrey List, had his eyelids twitching. These words sounded like Asami Naga was going to break his previous agreement. However, after hearing the latter sentence, he knew that he was overthinking it.
"Now, according to the previous agreement, I will tell you everything Asami Naga knows about the monsters in the Undersea City, as well as the history before the catastrophe."
This Naga priest was obviously much more relaxed at the end of his life after solving the thousand-year-old problems of his people.
"According to the inheritance of Asana Naga from generation to generation, the underwater city should have been established before the great cataclysm. The specific identity of the monster has not been passed down. We speculate that it should be a certain monster that was once driven by the Elf King.
sea monster.
Although in the second era, the elves mastered the "Sea Roller" path, the strong ones at the angel level were not only limited to the elves, but also the sea monsters driven by the Elf King. But after the Elf King fell and the Queen disappeared, these
The sea monster disappeared.
Humans were not very interested in the ocean at that time, but the wind angels beside the ancient sun god were ordered to manage the ocean. The elves were driven away, and we had to come to the uninhabited North Sea.
I don’t know how much time passed, but a crazy sea monster appeared in the North Sea. We should have been unable to resist at that time and could only escape. The records of this period of history are very vague. All we know is that we ended up with a few humans who suddenly appeared.
The strong ones cooperated and sealed it in the Undersea City.
After talking to those people, we learned that the sea monster was contaminated. And this pollution cannot be eliminated even by killing the sea monster, because it comes from the ground.
After that, we should have reached an agreement with humans. We are responsible for guarding the underwater city, and humans will not hunt us.
According to records, not long after the Undersea City appeared, a catastrophe occurred. We were lucky not to be affected, and we have been guarding the seal. But after a few hundred years, there was an internal problem with Naga, and in the name of "Sea Scroller"
Belief in that monster began to spread among the Lord's deep-sea Nagas.
At that time, the ancestors of the shallow sea Nagas were keenly aware of this and launched a war against the deep sea Nagas who believed in that monster. However, they still failed to correct this mistake and the Nagas began to split.
Fortunately, only the Naga leader, the ancestor of Asami Naga, knew the location of the Undersea City at that time, and she used her own abilities to seal it off.
Since then, the shallow sea Naga and the deep sea Naga have been in opposition, which lasted for nearly two thousand years."
The internal division of Naga was not born when the Undersea City appeared?
Rawls heard some information revealed by "Red Light" El Moria from Alicia, and knew that this underwater city originated from the ancestors and Nagas of the angel families headed by Bethel Abraham.
The seal completed by the ancestors together.
He originally thought that the Asana Naga was concerned about his own people, so after sealing the monster, he did not take action against the Deep Sea Naga who believed in that monster, which led to today's result.
Nearly two thousand years?
This year is 1350. Looking back, it should be 500 years before the "Pale Disaster" at the end of the Fourth Age... Rawls subconsciously thought of the dead "Vice Admiral Deep Sea". Could this period be "the four emperors standing side by side"?
"Previously?"
The duration of the Fourth Age should be similar to that of the Fifth Age, about 1,230 years. The Age of Strife lasted for 112 years, followed by Solomon's First Empire and the United Empire, which lasted about 400 years.
The period lasted for more than a hundred years, so it is estimated that the period of the Four Emperors should have lasted for more than 500 years.
The Naga split was indeed between the United Empire and the four emperors' coexistence. Wouldn't that mean they collided with the "original witch" again?
But wasn't that monster sealed in the third era?
Compared to the early Fourth Age when the "Black Emperor" and the "True Creator" joined forces and the middle and late Fourth Age when the Four Emperors stood side by side, there were so many things that happened during the United Empire period!
Considering Solomon's resurrection and return, the United Empire should not last too long, otherwise Tudor and Trunsoest would have enough time to clean up the order left by the "Black Emperor".
But during this time, four sequence 0 true gods were born.
The "Original Witch", the "Black Emperor", the "Night Emperor", and the "Blood Emperor" who ended the United Empire.
Except for the resurrected Solomon, the others are all newly born true gods.
The reason why Rawls thinks that the "Primordial Witch" suspected of Constantine has become the true god at this time is because in the original work, when describing the death of Medici, Pales directly said that she was wary of the "Primary Witch".
Only a true god would have a need for the uniqueness and sequence 1 characteristics of adjacent pathways!
If his speculation is correct, then the birth of the "Original Witch" must be related to the monster sealed in the Undersea City.
And considering that the "original witch" has always been on Adam's side, her becoming a god is probably inseparable from Adam. In this way, Mr. "Gate" who supported Tudor with Adam at that time was also connected in series. When sealing the monsters in the underwater city,
She was present.
The more you know, the more doubts you have!
No longer thinking about what happened during the United Empire in the Fourth Age, Rawls signaled that Priest Elm could continue, but unfortunately, the history recorded by Asami Naga before the cataclysm did not involve things he didn't know.
Even he doesn't know much about many things.
…
"Mr. Sparrow, please follow me."
After the man, who clearly had local indigenous blood and was dressed in line with local customs, confirmed Klein's identity, he did not take him to the nearby Governor's Mansion, but took him to a nearby alley.
From the outside, there is nothing unusual about this alley. Like most places in Bayam now, the doors are closed due to the confrontation between pirates and the navy. But within a hundred meters of walking in this alley, Klein suddenly
I felt a dozen eyes lingering on me.
This should be a contact point of MI9 in Bayam, or even the headquarters with a high probability... Klein's expression remained unchanged, his sharp eyes hidden in the shadow cast by the silk top hat, remembering the layout and arrangements here.
Although it may not be used, it is still good to make more preparations.
After going around a few times, he followed the man in front of him who had not spoken a word all the way to a two-story building. Ofer had a serious face, a circular scar on the right side of his eyebrows, and a mustache.
Brigadier General Tong was not as flamboyant as he was at the dock yesterday. He was standing on the balcony of the second floor wearing only his pajamas.
After saying hello, he went down to the first floor and met Klein in the not-so-spacious living room.
This is obviously his temporary residence. Klein did not find any items or documents related to MI9 here. Although the brigadier general is now a senior executive of MI9, he still retains the military habits and has not met him for many times.
In just one sentence, he handed over the promised 2,000 pounds to him, and took advantage of the situation to start soliciting again.
"...If you don't want to be bound by those rules, you can just accept the tasks we promulgate. I guarantee that the rewards for the tasks will be absolutely generous."
"It's up to me to choose the mission."
"no problem."
Seeing Brigadier Overton's willingness to agree, Klein was relieved. If it were according to his original character, he would definitely ask. But now he is Gehrman Sparrow, a crazy adventurer.
"I know you adventurers have your own circle. You can find a few people you think are suitable to complete the mission together, or you can introduce them to No. 35 Iron Bar Lane, where there will be specific missions. After completing the mission, you can also go to
Get paid there.”
Overton held his cigar in his mouth and blew out a puff of smoke, "Most of them are investigation tasks, such as investigating the pirates on this island and the people related to them. This is what you are good at. A few are those who cooperate with us and the church.
Although some of the military's actions are more dangerous, the rewards are also very generous."
This is an attempt to cause internal strife!
Although his identity as an adventurer was fake, Klein also learned some information from Daniz.
To a certain extent, adventurers can be equated with former mercenaries. They will also accept tasks, but they are more independent and often act alone. But they are different from the mercenaries in inland cities who have transformed into security companies and private detectives.
, adventurers still maintain a relatively independent state.
Although most adventurers will accept the task of escorting ships and merchant ships to protect their employers, they do not mind killing their employers and taking away their property, especially since their main area of activity is at sea. Pirates are not just those who raise the skull and crossbones flag.
Many merchant ships don't mind being pirates for a while, and adventurers are no exception.
People like Klein who had just become adventurers all lived with "Flame" Daniz, not to mention those adventurers who had been around for many years. Once the mission of MI9 spread, many adventures related to pirates
I definitely wouldn't mind getting an extra reward for reporting the pirates before they had time to escape.
Danitz is related to the cooperation between Klein and "Lieutenant General Iceberg", and there is no bad record, but it does not mean that he does not have a suitable target for reporting. Edwina's contact point in Bayam is in danger, and there is a high probability of being "
The crew of "Admiral Blood" noticed it. As long as they investigate clearly, there will definitely be a huge bounty.
…
Brigadier General Overton stood on the balcony on the second floor, watching Klein's leaving figure, his face obscured by the smoke of his cigar, and his voice was low:
"Spread this news as soon as possible and eliminate all the pirates in Bayam before Nast starts the war!"
"Yes, General." The adjutant with local indigenous blood responded solemnly.
"In addition, all officers in the Zhongsonia Navy who are suspected of having connections with pirates will be secretly monitored, and all those with conclusive evidence will be arrested!"
As the newly appointed chief intelligence officer of the Zhongsuniya region, Ofton faced a mess. He was not familiar with the members and the situation in the region. The newly assigned members were all punished behind their backs, and the most disappointing thing was that
What makes him uncomfortable is that he must cooperate with the navy to complete the mission of eradicating pirates, so that he can secure his position.
But judging from his own strength, even without MI9, he could defeat the pirates. But he couldn't prove himself in this way, so the best way he could think of was to find an adventurer like Gehrman Sparrow.
Destroy the pirate alliance from within, do some confidentiality work, and get through this test first.
…
Olavi, "Sweet Lemon Bar".
In a room on the second floor, bar owner Billt Brando, with his blond hair neatly slicked back, was sitting on an easy chair. The quietly burning fireplace filled the room with warmth, making him gradually become tired and his head trembled.
Trembling and dozing off.
Since the order came from the Rhoside Islands, the bar owner has also been very busy. On the one hand, he has to cooperate with the Governor's Palace to monitor or clean up the pirates on the island. On the other hand, the Adventurer Alliance he formed also needs to be rectified. Many of them
Members are all related to pirates.
After all this busy work, he also lost many partners, the most unfortunate of which was Kessef, who was a good boy and his right-hand man, but he died at the hands of an old pirate.
A door with many mysterious symbols on its surface appeared behind him, opened silently, and Rawls stepped out from inside.
The relaxation between his brows was momentarily occupied by doubts, and he subconsciously looked towards the bar downstairs.
"Viscount of Fear"?
He sensed Bird Mustang's presence here.
Why is he here?
At this moment when the life and death of the "King of the Five Seas" is decided, why did the "Viscount of Dread", who is the second officer and intelligence director of the "Black Emperor", suddenly go to Oravi?
Does Nast have any plans here?
Although he was confused, there were also surprises. For Rawls, in the storm of Rorsted, he only needed to ensure the completion of two things.
One is naturally to be promoted to "Fallen Earl", and the other is to ensure Bird Mustang's safety.
As for who wins this storm, Nast's life or death is not his concern.
In this world, the only emotional connections Rawls has are his two uncles, Bird Mustang and Edmund Robert, Philip Negan, a friend who is better than a brother, and Alicia. The rest can be attributed to
Interest relationship.
But it is not that easy to ensure Bird's safety in this storm. The mere aftermath of the battle between demigods is enough to kill him.
Therefore, Rawls also asked for help from the Tamara family and asked Elder Laigat to be the final guarantee to ensure that both of these things were completed.
Now that the "Viscount of Fear" is not on board, it will be much easier to deal with.
