Chapter Eighty-Eight: Purpose
"Oh, I don't know what great discovery you've made, young master?" asked No. 2 curiously, and No. 7, who had been silent, also looked over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"I've found a wandering Sea Witch bloodline and a natural Sea Witch!" Caesar said proudly.
"Really?" said No. 2 in disbelief, this news is too important for the family!
Many years ago, the family was driven out of the dragon's hometown and wandered around, but in the end, it was a few generations of nobles, and the background was not trivial. The family soon found a new place to settle down, the Fort of Sand at the junction of United and Hoen. This is land that the family bought in its glory days, when it was fertile and densely populated, but with the change of climate and the passage of time, it is now a large desert and sparsely populated, and it is not suitable as a new territory for the family.
At first, the family only had the idea of using it as a temporary foothold, but the discovery in the Sand Keep changed their minds. In the basement of the Sand Castle, the family found an ancient mural documenting the history of the land. In order to help the people, the ancient sorcerers researched a way to change the land - a sea witch summoned the power of Gaioca to change the rain in this place.
In this way, the land received abundant rainwater, which became fertile soil and the land flourished. According to the mural, the sorcerers used this to keep the land prosperous for countless years, until they could no longer find a sea witch to perform their rituals. Since then, the land has gradually decayed, and it is precisely because of this that the family was able to buy such a large piece of territory.
What a tempting idea to turn a desert back into fertile soil! If it succeeds, then they will undoubtedly become the masters of the land. However, this idea is not easy to implement, because there are sea witches in the entire world now.
The so-called sea witches, in ancient times, refer to those women who were responsible for communicating and sacrificing to the god of the sea, Gaioca, because of the perennial sacrifice to the god of the sea, they were infected by the power of the god of the sea, and received the blessing of Gaioca, with incredible powers, and could summon the arrival of Gaioca's power through specific rituals. In the past, sea witches were not uncommon, but when many mythical beasts fell asleep for unknown reasons, this kind of sacrifice could no longer be answered, so the profession gradually declined, and today, only the Uzumaki Islands still retain such sacrifices. The sea witch has become the exclusive property of the Uzumaki Islands.
Gaioca, the god of the sea, is sleeping, and even with the unique environment and huge altar of the Vortex Islands, he can only collect the power that Gaioca has inadvertently scattered, so that even the Vortex Islands can only give birth to one or two sea witches to ensure the continuity. Therefore, once someone awakens the power of the sea god and becomes a sea witch, then she automatically gains the highest status and power on the Vortex Islands in an instant. However, on the other hand, she has something to lose. From the day a woman becomes a sea witch, she is destined to spend the rest of her life in prayer to the god of the sea. For many, though, this is nothing compared to the power that comes with it.
But it doesn't mean that you are willing to make sacrifices to become a sea witch, the awakening of the sea witch is uncontrollable. Unless it is the pure sea witch who passes on the power of the sea god obtained after awakening to the next pure woman to help her awaken. Pure maidens are more affinity for certain powers, which is the reason why many sects require saints to remain virgins and never marry. Of course, the external propaganda is to better serve God.
If it is born, it will pass on a portion of its power to its offspring, accelerating the consumption of Gaioca's leaked power, and this inheritance is difficult to control. Therefore, in order to protect the interests of the Uzumaki Islands and prevent the severance of the inheritance, the Uzumaki Islands have long established the tradition of prohibiting the marriage of sea witches.
However, as the saying goes, the more forbidden the more it can't be forbidden, since this rule was set, it is not uncommon for sea witches to cross the line in various ways, and the whirlpool archipelago is also strictly guarded, and the sea witches who cross the border are punished very severely, so that this trend is gradually stopped. Although most of the descendants of the Sea Witch were exterminated, there were always one or two that slipped through the net.
Holding that ritual would consume a lot of the power of the sea god, which would inevitably harm the interests of the Vortex Islands, which obviously would not agree, and this is why this land eventually turned into a desert. Caesar's original plan was to pretend to be a gangster to attack the sea witch who was out, and then Caesar stepped forward to heroically save the beauty and win the heart of the sea witch, and then everyone eloped happily together. Although the Uzumaki Islands are a large force, their main forces are concentrated on the sea, and once the two of them escape to land, it is not a big problem to protect them with the power of the family. When he leaves Guandu and returns to Hezhong, he will be far away from Emperor Shangao. Eventually, Caesar will return to the sandcastle with the sea witch and perform a ritual to summon the power of Gaioca to bring rain and transform the sandcastle back into fertile ground.
As for the Alliance, they don't care about this kind of, and they are even more than happy to let the Sea Witch elope with Caesar. After all, the Sand Ciep has become fertile soil, and the Caesar family has become the rulers there, and they are still subject to the alliance, which is much better than the Vortex Islands that have been wandering away. Moreover, exchanging a sea witch for a piece of fertile soil, the alliance felt that it was totally worth it.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and when the "hero" appeared on the stage, the strength he showed was not enough to save the "beauty", but it made people suspicious because of the various releases of the "gangsters".
Originally, Caesar was already desperate, but he didn't expect to be rescued and accidentally found that the life-saving benefactor Duo Rail was actually a descendant of the sea witch, and he was gifted, and he was born a sea witch. Multi-track is much easier to get hold of than Sea Witch, so Caesar uses all his resources to pursue Multi-Track, hoping to gain her favor and return to the United Nation together to revive the parched land.
"Can't you just tie her back?" asked Two. If the other party doesn't cooperate, just tie it back, and if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person with the problem, the idea of No. 2 is so simple and rude.
Caesar shook his head, "That ritual requires the sea witch's wholehearted cooperation to summon the power of Gaioca, forcing the other party is useless, the other party must be willing." ”
"What a nuisance!" 2 grumbled, then added, "Why don't you just pay her for money!"
"It's a workable approach, but it's not perfect. Caesar explained, "This ceremony takes place every ten years, and it would be too expensive to hire at any cost. This is also the reason why the family wants to take the sea witch instead of hiring it. ”
"In fact, those sea witches of the Vortex Islands, it is better to say that they have mastered the power of the sea god, but it is better to say that they are just containers of the power of the sea god accumulated from generation to generation, and they have not really obtained the power of the sea god, and it is difficult to give birth to descendants with the power of the sea god. Even if they get them, they can only help the family solve problems in their lifetime. But Miss Multitrack is different, I checked the history of her family before, her family first lived in the Orange Islands, but left the Orange Islands during the reign of the Goddess of Helena in the Vortex Islands, settled in Guandu, and never came back. ”
"Helena, the Sea Witch who claims to be the strongest in history?" asked 2. For the sake of the family's plans, they have studied the history of the Vortex Islands. This sea witch is not a inheritance awakening, but a natural awakening, and she is a person who is born to use the power of the sea god. After her, the Sea Witch can basically only awaken by inheritance.
"Yes. Caesar nodded, "I suspect that Miss Multitrack is a direct descendant of Helena, so she was able to innate the power of the sea god." I have investigated, and there will be people in each generation of her family who will awaken, but the strength of the ability is different, that is, the power of the sea god has been integrated into their bloodline. If I can get Miss Multitrack's heart and combine with her, then our descendants will inherit the power of the sea god, and then the family's problems will be solved once and for all!"
No. 2 and No. 7 glanced at each other, and they were both persuaded by Caesar's plan, and the two bowed down at the same time: "The young master's plan is perfect, we will definitely do our best to help!"
"Well," Caesar nodded with satisfaction, "with my charm, it's not hard to attract Miss Multitrack, it's hard to get a guy in our way・・・・・・"
