Chapter 20: My Name, Poseidon
Carl has many identities, a wizard in the British wizarding world, a second-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the founder of Kenrito's studio, the inventor of the wizarding game "Hearthstone", the one who caught Voldemort with his own hands, the most handsome wizard in ancient and modern times, and so on.
Of course, if you also count the Order of Merlin, which has not yet been awarded to him, he can also be counted as a recipient of the Order of Merlin of the Second Class of the Order of the May Regiment.
As for his relationship with his fathers, forget it...... Don't mention it.
However, this is the first time that people have been regarded as gods.
Looking at Blackbeard, Carl was about to say something, but noticed that Barbossa and Jack next to him looked at him a little wrong.
"What's wrong with you?" Karl frowned.
The three of them had known each other for a few days, and they had grown to know each other, but now, Jack and Barbossa looked at him like they were looking at a stranger.
Barbossa's gaze was seriously wary and cautious, and Jack's eyes were full of suspicion.
Hearing Carl's question, the two exchanged a vague look.
"Wizard, you never seem to have ever said your name. Barbossa's voice still had a unique rhythm.
And his tone didn't make sense of anything else, like two old friends chatting.
But Carl still saw a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"Medivan, you can call me Medivan. ”
Carl used the name again, there was a lot of magic that could be cursed against a person's name, and now that he was alone, it was better to be cautious.
Still, he could almost guess what the two were worried about.
"Medivan ......"
Barbossa muttered under his breath, he didn't remember hearing the name, but instinctively, he thought it was unusual.
Looking at Jack, Jack shook his head.
Barbossa didn't give up, and asked, "Sorcerer, why the hell do you want to find Poseidon's Trident?"
Karl shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't say it, I have a friend who needs to use that weapon to lift the seal on him. ”
In an instant, Barbossa was not calm, and said loudly: "Boy, you didn't say that you want to use that weapon to break someone's seal!"
"You only said you were going to use it to lift the curse!"
Barbossa's saliva almost squirted in Carl's face.
He looked at Carl viciously, his eyes wide as if he were going to eat someone at any moment.
Karl looked back at him with a calm expression.
After a while, the malice on Barbossa's face was gone, and an embarrassed but polite smile appeared on his face.
He lowered his head and knelt on one knee in front of Carl with his hands outstretched.
"Pardon my offense, I have to find a ...... to confirm your identity"
Secretly looking up at Karl, seeing that Karl did not say anything, Barbossa became even more humble.
"Allow me to pay you the highest respects—brother of the king of the gods, god of all, ruler of the seas and rivers, god of the seas in the mortal world......"
“...... Poseidon. ”
“......”
“......”
The scene suddenly cooled down, and Carl tried to open his mouth several times, but he couldn't figure out what to say.
Barbosa turned out to be a Poseidon ......
What a misunderstanding this is.
He thought that Barbosa had guessed that he was taking the trident to lift the seal on Poseidon, but now that he looked, the other party actually thought that he was Poseidon himself.
Judging from Jack's expression next to him, it was clear that he thought so too.
However, Jack did not kneel for Carl like Barbossa, but stood to the side and stared at him secretly, his eyes rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.
Karl didn't respond immediately, and Barbossa just got down on one knee, no wonder he did.
The existence of a Calypso has already terrified the nine pirate kings of the Caribbean world, not to mention Poseidon, the superior god of Calypso.
Legend has it that Poseidon was killed by Zeus for provoking Zeus, and his dead body, along with his weapon trident, was buried somewhere deep in the sea......
Now it didn't seem to be the same thing, and Barbossa got down on one knee and looked at Carl secretly.
Looking at the white-haired boy in front of him who was speechless, Barbossa became more and more sure of his guess.
Blackbeard's words really reminded him that in this world, there is no mortal who can use extraordinary power without relying on external objects, and there are only two kinds of people who can do this-
One of them, in the form of a mortal and harnessing the power of the gods, must be the offspring of the union of gods and mortals.
And the boy in front of him must be the second type, carrying the soul of the gods with a mortal body, wandering in the mortal world, imprisoned in the mortal body.
No wonder the boy looked only twelve or thirteen years old, but he listened to the tone of his usual speech like an old man.
It turned out that there was an old monster in his body.
Of course, Barbossa would not have said these words even if he died.
However, I don't know if it's an illusion, Barbossa suddenly notices that the boy's eyes are looking at him a little dangerous.
When a person thinks of something in his head, he automatically fills in the unreasonable part of the matter.
In an instant, countless details flashed through Barbossa's mind, the family was not harmonious, and the brothers were on the wall, but after all, the love was still there, so Zeus exiled his brother and let him live in the mortal world.
Even, he even thought about the reason, it must be because of the woman.
Maybe it's because of Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom.
After all, even the dog of the current King of the British Empire, George II, knows how chaotic the relationship between the members of this divine family really is.
Poseidon, who was in the mortal world, was unwilling to be trapped in a mortal body, especially the body of a child—a body that could not even do the common pleasures of God and man.
God knows how many years have passed, and it's almost ......
Even, Barbossa dared to swear by his hat that Zeus must have done it on purpose, in order to punish his brother for daring to touch his own daughter, although he himself was not a good bird.
Just like the old saying in the East, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and Zeus must have punished his brother for what he hated the most.
Karl's eyes became more and more strange when he looked at Barbossa, and normally, Barbossa's will was strong enough not to deliberately use the Regent's mind, and he could not perceive the latter's thoughts.
But right now, the thoughts in the other party's mind are so active that the thoughts have almost jumped out of their heads.
"Well, I think there might be a bit of a misunderstanding. ”
Karl looked at Barbossa, who was still on one knee, with a pained look on his face.
Although the person in the other party's mind has nothing to do with him, it can't help but be based on him.
Seeing that Karl finally spoke, Barbossa breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at him.
"I want to ......"
After only two words, Carl paused.
Just now, Poseidon's voice sounded in his ears, and there was only one word.
"Admit it!"
Then, his expression became solemn, his voice became solemn, as if from the abyss, a strong air current swirled and rose from Karl's body.
"Mortal, you guessed it, I am the master of the sea and all rivers and lakes!"
"My name, Poseidon. ”
As if to match his words, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck out from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, rolling thunder sounded, even through the ornate wooden door of the captain's room, it was still deafening.
