Chapter 523: The Bloodstained Treasure and the Master of the Labyrinth

When Evan received a message from his sister, he rushed to Port Hatrafa as soon as possible.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he was too focused on territorial affairs during this time, and he didn't even notice that in order to deal with the threat of the "Oath Breaker" Bradley, thousands of elite pirate armies under the command of the "Dragoon Pirate Regiment" had all gathered here.

Prepare for the battle!

The second echelon, led by the heavy cruiser "Daystar", consisting of four fifth-class ships, six armed merchant ships of the same class, and more than 20 brigs and mixed sailing ships of the "Brigentin" type, were neatly moored in the harbor.

The black sails and the flamboyant black dragon's head banner form a thick dark cloud, and with the sea breeze hunting on the tropical ocean, this awe-inspiring power may not even be matched by the garrisons of some small countries in the New World.

Despite the eagerness of my sister's letter, it seems that at least the fleet is calm now.

The strength in your hands is the confidence to deal with all unexpected situations.

Slightly relieved, Evan led Olivia into the office of the deputy head of the regiment on the third floor of the fortress.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat solemn, and in addition to Anita, the three female pirates who belonged to her lineage, Jasmine, Jeanne, and Grannie, were also here.

Seeing Evan and the two people coming in, the three female pirates hurriedly got up and saluted:

"Captain!"

Although the contact time has not been long, I have long known Aiwen's great achievements, especially when encountering such a very difficult problem, it is really good to have a strong support.

Anita nodded to Olivia, without going around in circles, and told them the big thing in the letter bluntly:

"The Sea of Mist has rioted!"

Ai Wen didn't expect his sister to say this, so he sat on the sofa casually, took the black tea sent by Jasmine, and wondered:

"Riots? Isn't that normal? I didn't participate in it, but I knew it should happen every year. ”

He still remembers that when he first became the captain of the "Conch", he came to Shipwreck Bay through the [Moonlight Spirit] in Milan, and saw such a scene.

It was during that Misty Sea Riot that Anita killed the young sea dragon and bathed in dragon blood, and was successfully promoted to a third-order knight.

Later, his status rose and he became more aware of the inside story.

In the icy depths of the sea, there are ancient beings that survived the last era, powerful, secretive, dangerous, and utterly chaotic. Under the influence of the overflowing power of this being, a large number of underwater monsters were twisted into his dependents, and they were also imprisoned in the misty sea to accompany him forever.

The annual monster riot is the price and risk that "Shipwreck Bay" must bear while enjoying the protection of the Misty Sea.

But Anita's words are not finished:

"It's really normal to riot, but what's not normal is what those twisted monsters left behind this time! Granny is mainly assisting in the defense of you this time, you can talk to the regiment leader. ”

Evan knew.

Since the riot when Anita was promoted, the Codex Custodians have been summoning the pirates and pirate groups who have seats in the "Shipwreck Bay" every year to work together to help defend against it, and the "Emerald Light", one of the three kings of the Golden Sea, is no exception.

This time it is this capable female pirate who is in charge, and it will not be easy for Granny to emerge from the group of pirates who are absolutely dominated by men and become one of the few female knights.

Grannie, with her long maroon hair, answered, and took a few things out of the wooden box at her feet and placed them on the table one by one.

A skull with precious stones on the teeth, a thin-mouthed clay vase containing a human finger bone, a gold shackle, a gold plate with intricately carved words, and other small bits and pieces such as cups.

Evan and Olivia couldn't help but stand up, these things remained "original", and they were still stained with the blood of humans or monsters, which should have been brought back directly from the battlefield.

"Captain, this time it is Lord Rudolph who is in charge of the 'Shipwreck Bay', and there is nothing abnormal about the Misty Sea Monster Riot itself.

But what these monsters brought up from the bottom of the sea was the source of the turmoil, which had never been done before.

A large number of precious metals, a number of valuables with special symbols are mainly divided between our two pirate kings, but it is not excluded that some people have private collections.

And we've already verified, and all of these things belong to"

The two wizards, Evan and Olivia, had already spoken in unison, and said the answer first:

"Kumar Empire!"

The unique style of this instrument is so obvious that it is not difficult for a learned wizard to identify, and the only thing that makes one wonder is why such a uniform style would appear in the misty sea far from the mainland.

The two of them looked at Anita, which should be the main reason for her eagerness.

"That's right, in fact, there are some secrets in 'Shipwreck Bay' that outsiders don't know, and even many later pirates don't know"

Stella, the old captain of the Golden Horn, was given a seat in the Misty Sea's Shipwreck Cove shortly after it was established, and as a result, he also knows some secrets that no one else knows.

These secrets were also inherited as part of the inheritance by Anita and the old captain's niece, Jasmine.

One of them:

The power from the black-winged god Ceci has given the "Shipwreck Bay" a place in the strange sea of mist.

However, the power of the eight-clawed demon god Loy Goel (legend has it that he fell from the true god personality in the epoch cataclysm, and as long as he fell to the material world without a god, he could still maintain the true god personality) is realistic and objective.

Once a year, the chaotic demon god awakens, and the "Shipwreck Cove" offers sacrifices to him.

And the monsters killed in the riot will also return the power obtained from Roygale with their pure soul essence, and at the same time screen out the elite monsters, by the way, let Roygale complete a cycle and purification of energy.

Just like a human breath, some speculate that it is a means used by the demon god to ward off chaos. But no one would be foolish enough to think that these precious metal utensils were a thank you gift from the demon god to the pirates.

There must be some kind of purpose behind it!

"On top of that, Rudolph has guessed through the intelligence gathered.

The self-destruction of the Kumar Empire before the Syrius arrived in the New World is very likely to have something to do with these things, and when this secret is revealed, the treasures of the entire indigenous empire may be at your fingertips!"

Evan glanced up at Anita and understood what she meant.

The nature of pirates is to chase treasure, and at this time, everything must be put back, and it is not too late to get the treasure and then go to crusade against Bradley, who has committed public anger.

Even the two pirate kings, who are not short of money, are still sensible, but they can't tie the hearts of the pirates.

Therefore, the originally prepared plan for a raid on Bradley came to an abrupt halt.

This is all an unexpected variable.

The two siblings were thinking about the aftermath.

Olivia, however, stepped forward and picked up the gold plate on which the words were written, for she was actually no stranger to this kind of hieroglyphs.

The beacon anchorage of the girl in the spirit world, the "Pyramid of Chichen Itza", was originally the imperial capital of the Kuma Empire at the height of civilization. When she took over the territory, she also gained a lot of knowledge that the Kumar people had deposited in the spirit world.

They had a writing system consisting of 800 hieroglyphs, the most important of which were the names of the days and months of the week, the numbers, the directions, the colors, the names of the gods, and so on, most of which were related to sacrifices.

Recorded on this gold plate is a prayer using prisoners of war to sacrifice to the gods.

Following the cautious style of the transcendent, the girl did not read it out rashly, but after reading through it silently, she found another suspicious point.

The object of the sacrifice was a very unfamiliar name.

Literally translated, can it be called "the master of the labyrinth" Eihot?

This is not the name of any of the gods in the Kumar Empire, nor does it belong to Roy Gor, the master of the Misty Sea, or even in the sorcerer's school lineage.

Hearing Olivia's reminder, the brows of the two siblings furrowed even tighter.

"The Kumar Empire once sacrificed 10,000 prisoners of war to an unknown superior being? ”

When Evan first came to the New World, he felt that there were too many ghosts, evil spirits, and evil spirits in this land.

The 18 settlements established by the kingdom before Tomstown have all died one after another, and while the reasons may be manifold, there must also be various connections to these terrifying beings that roam the continent.

In addition to the fact that the activity of magic is higher than that of the Old Continent.

The original three primitive civilizations of the New World, the Kuma Empire, the Garshna Empire, the Azk Empire, and countless small clans and tribes, also generally believed in animism, giving many spirits the opportunity to take advantage of the void.

Moreover, among the Kumar who perished before Cylius arrived in the New World, and among the Azks, who inherited part of the civilization of the Kumars, there is still a tradition of sacrificing the same kind of blood!

The Kuma people are a little older, but it can be seen from the Azks, who inherited the Kuma civilization.

In their own codex chronicles.

The Azks kept a large number of human sacrifices, and there are even written records of more than 20,000 sacrifices in a single four-day sacrifice;

They took out the beating heart and put it in a special container to indicate the four points of the universe;

Sometimes they used their skulls to form a terrible wall of sacrificial bones;

In different rituals, different body parts are skinned and then used separately;

He begged princesses from other nations to marry her, but in fact she stripped her of her human skin, and the priest draped her body to marry the leader who had ascended to heaven as a "god";

There is even a legend that there is a skinning temple with human skins on the walls.

In this "mysterious" active world, the extinction of a large number of long-term intelligent beings is very likely to lead to unexpected disasters, which may be from evil spirits, monsters, spooky or even a wandering evil god.

To say that the strange demise of the entire Kuma civilization has nothing to do with this kind of thing, and I don't believe it when I kill Evan!

This sacrifice object that appeared out of nowhere is very suspicious.

Now both the natives and the pioneers know that the original three main gods in the New World have been destroyed.

Inti, the main god of the Gashna Empire, and Omad Kutli, the high god of the Azk Empire, have been determined to have been killed by the Angels of Fire under the command of the "Eternal Fire" with the collapse of the Empire.

But the core of Kumar's civilization had already completely declined a hundred years before the Pioneers arrived in the New World.

The main god they worshipped, Kukulkan, was already in an accident when the Kumar Empire collapsed, or did he also die at the hands of the Angel of Fire. Maybe even the people of Cyrius can't understand it, and it's impossible to go to the angel to confirm this kind of thing.

"So, does this unknown existence, 'Ehhot, the master of the labyrinth', have anything to do with the disappearance of the Kumar Empire?

One question after another echoed in the minds of the two wizards, and there were no answers for the time being.

Anita looked at the two thoughtful people and made her own point:

"Although wealth does not represent power, in the current delicate situation in the Golden Sea, this is already an extremely important weight, no matter which force it puts on it, it is a huge help.

Even if we can't get it, we can't let Bradley or Sylius get it!"

There was no disputing this, and Evan and Olivia couldn't agree more.

Whether or not you want to compete for the treasures that may exist, the first step can already be started.

"Beth, concentrate the reconnaissance network, we need to keep track of all the movements of the Sea of Mist, Syrius, and the 'Oath Breaker' at all times. ”

"Understood!"
