Chapter 1229: Kane II

Lifting the rod with all his might, the fish that bit the improvised hook came to Kane.

"Haha......"

After grabbing the fish, he removed the simple hook from the fish's mouth, Kane laughed twice, and then brought the fish to him.

"Little Saiji, I caught you again, it's still the old rule, I won't let you go easily, unless you listen to me tell a story."

The fish's mouth opened and closed, and there was a blister of blood in it.

Hold the fish to your ear, and Kane listens.

"Oh, you're good at bargaining, but I like you about it, and I like to bargain, so I've decided to grant your request."

With that, Kane lowered the fish in his hand into the sea.

The glow reflected the fish's blue-black body, as well as the fish's eyes, which were devoid of any lustre, and the sides of its body, some of which were missing flesh and blood, revealing the neatly arranged fish bones below.

"So, little Saiji, which part of the story would you like to hear today?" Kane asked.

"You want to hear the story of the legendary pirate Sylvia? I know, this is your favorite part, but I told you about it yesterday, so today I decided to change the story...... What is the story about Moste Wilson? ”

Seeing the fish swim twice on the surface of the sea in front of him, Kane said with satisfaction:

"Moster Wilson was a nice man, very generous, kind and compassionate, but born at the wrong time."

As he spoke, Kane looked away from the fish and looked at the sea in the distance, which was still calm and had the power to contain everything.

"I once met him at a banquet of nobles, he was the director of the Regional Liberal Chamber of Commerce in Erathia, and at the same time had the status of a nobleman, of course, only an honorary canonization, not actual rights."

"King Griffinhardt, who has never been kind to those who belong to the Chamber of Commerce, always says that the merchants are tarnishing our good character with their gold coins, but Moster does not belong to this group, and he has won the king's trust with his noble character."

"Under the leadership of Most, the Chamber of Commerce has flourished in Erathia, and more and more poor people have been able to exchange their hard-working hands for a better life that belongs to them."

"For outsiders, Moster also treats them equally, without prejudice against identity, without discrimination against race, even if they are green-skinned savages, as long as they show full diligence, they can also be recognized by him."

"However, the good times did not last long, and Most's behavior caused the dissatisfaction of those nobles, and when King Griffonheart was in power, he was able to maintain a semblance of stability, and with the coronation of the queen and the outbreak of the War of Virtues, Most died in the war."

"The investigation shows that he died at the hands of the homeless, but what kind of homeless person can quietly assassinate without alerting the high-level guards, and also take away all the valuable items in the room?"

"No one will believe this result, but under greater resistance, the investigation into this incident was forced to stop, and all those who tried to find out the truth were punished differently."

As he spoke, Kane looked at the fish on the surface of the water in disbelief.

"You don't believe that? Well, let me recall. ”

Among them, Hall Is, the first knight of the kingdom, who vowed to find out the results and let the murderer be punished, was transferred to Krulord...... It was Bracada who came, one of them anyway, and died at the hands of the barbarians. ”

"With those green-skinned guys, how could they defeat the legendary knight of the kingdom number one, or kill him on the frontal battlefield, it must be what those mages have done. Even if he had questioned the orders from above, the legendary knight should not be treated like this. ”

"Legendary Knight...... How many legendary knights in the entire kingdom, not to mention the existence of Erathia who have dedicated their entire lives to the existence of Erathia like Hall, have been treated like this just because of his doubts. ”

"There are many other people who have also been treated in this way, either missing out of nowhere or sent to remote parts of the kingdom."

Looking at the fish on the surface, Kane was stunned.

“…… How do I know, you ask? Several of the original crew members of the Holy Griffin had this experience, even myself. ”

"Ordinary nobles don't have the ability to do this, if you dig deeper, I'm afraid you can find out all the way to our queen."

Kane sighed and put his hand on the top of his head, trying to soothe his furrowed brow while keeping his eyes on the water, trying to get an answer from the fish's mouth.

"You're right...... It's not a good thing to talk about your own king behind your back, but that's a thing of the past, I'm no longer a knight, I'm a death knight. ”

"Necromancy has deeply affected my thinking, allowing me to look at things from a different angle, more calmly, or more objectively, you know."

"She doesn't value the good character of people like the old king, what she needs is absolute loyalty. But there's no denying that Catherine Griffinhardt is a true king who deserves a knight's life, right, Segi? ”

The fish in the water swim in two circles.

"In this way, it is still the necromancer who is interesting, 'Pledge your allegiance to me, or perish in death.' How simple and straightforward, without any pretense. Learning the tone of the necromancer, Kane smiled.

Just as Kane was about to continue to say something, his expression suddenly froze on his face, and then he burst into ecstasy, looked at the fish in the water, and said:

"Little Saiji, I just received good news from the undead creatures, great news, you can't guess what's going on."

After a deliberate pause, he sold a pass to the fish in the water, and seeing that it was swimming in circles, Kane said with satisfaction:

"It's exciting news that we've found land on this vast ocean, and that there are traces of human activity in it, right?"

After a pause, Kane nodded, reaching out to the fish in the water while giving a hearty smile, though his skin might have been much better if it weren't so pale.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to leave you alone, and soon, you'll have other companions." As he spoke, Kane bent down and picked up the fish in the water. "Let's set sail for the unknown land."

As Kane spoke, there was a jolt beneath his feet, and a huge paleness rose to the surface of the sea, stacked on top of each other, an unknown number of undead creatures, like a moving island.
