376. Forced to stop
Storm Islands, the Temple of the Sea.
The figure of a man hurried down the huge stone corridor, the sound of hurried footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.
"High Priestess, I just received the information that the man has gone to sea!"
In the dark and damp room, a vague figure suddenly rushed out of the square pool that occupied most of the room, and the fishy smell suddenly filled the entire room.
A huge tentacle directly bound the human and pulled it in front of the huge humanoid creature that suddenly appeared in the room.
"What did you say!"
The yellow eyes, which were much twice the size of ordinary humans, stared at the man in front of them.
"Great, High Priestess, that Morey has just gone to sea on a strange-looking ironclad ship, supposedly to the southern seas!"
Feeling the tentacles tightening in his chest squeezing the last shred of air in his alveoli, the priest who came to report the news hurriedly told the news he knew.
Boom!
The tentacle let go, and the priest fell out of the air, but before he could scream in pain, a burst of laughter filled the room.
"Haha, that's good!"
"Boy, I've finally waited for you!"
The high priest laughed loudly, and the gloom of the day was swept away when he heard the good news.
As the high priestess of the capricious goddess of the sea, Amberly, Sherbent has always been a villain who must be retribution.
Previously, because of his subordinate Barnier, he accidentally lost the essentia soil as a sacrifice to the goddess in the Battle of Dagger Bay.
The loss of such an important thing on the eve of the festival made Shebent completely lose his due grace at the next Poseidon ceremony, and the temporary purchase of sacrifices cost him countless hard-earned wealth.
But even if he found the sacrificial object in time to remedy it, he was still the clergyman who received the least favor from the gods in those sacrifices, and his power in the church was largely determined by the size of the gods' gifts.
Even because the sacrificial objects were too far behind the past, Shebent was punished by the goddess and became a half-human, half-octopus monster like this!
And all that he suffered, he silently remembered on Morey's head.
Yes, although he could not directly predict who would steal his treasure through the goddess's divine magic, it was not difficult for him to deduce that Morey was the recipient of essentia through the detailed information of naval battles gathered through the Brotherhood's gang.
So if there is a list of people who follow Morey, then Sherbent must be at the top.
Even if the [Prophecy] that costs a lot of money cannot predict Morey's information, the city lord of Momiji City is always covered by a fog (Morey's demigod nature has begun to affect the effect of the prophecy, as long as it is not the gods themselves, it is basically impossible for people to get the news), but this does not make Shebent give up.
The high priestess of the goddess of the sea spent a lot of money to become a long-term customer of the Brotherhood, and collected all the news about Morey through this underground intelligence organization at any time, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after waiting for more than half a year, he finally waited for the good news that Morey went to sea again.
Unlike the land far away from the blessings of the gods, once Morey enters the ocean, it is his territory.
Fierce and bloodthirsty sharks, seabirds streaking across the sky, and schools of fish everywhere could be his eyes and ears, ready to inform him, so when he learned of Morey's specific destination, he sneered and dragged his huge lower body into the icy bottom of the pool.
......
On the sea, the sun is shining.
The "Murry" drove at full speed at 15 knots and did not rely on the sea breeze, so it had already driven more than 500 nautical miles in just one day and one night.
Because it was not sailing close to the coastline, the ship was surrounded by turquoise water, and Morey, who was an early riser, felt dazzled after a while.
"How long will it take for us to get to our destination?"
Morey walked into the captain's room and asked Gourd, who was in a cameo role as captain.
When Gou De saw the big boss coming, he hurriedly took out a compass and a chart ruler to carefully measure the huge nautical chart spread out on the table, and calculated it carefully, before replying:
"According to the destination you gave the boss, we will probably need another day!"
"If the boss is boring, you might as well go fishing, the sea fish here are relatively stupid, bite and don't let go!"
Seeing Morey's frustration, Gourd smiled and suggested.
Boom!
The tough rope was thrown into the sea under the traction of the huge iron hook, and after a while, Morey really felt something pulling down, Morey smiled slightly, and hurriedly retracted the rope upward.
A short time later, a 30-pound long-snouted sturgeon was dragged to the deck by Morey.
Juggernaut of this marine fish can weigh up to 400 pounds and be 7 or 8 feet long when adult, which is at most a small fish whose head has just gotten rid of its juveniles.
However, its meat is delicious, and it is suitable for a midday meal.
Morey continued his efforts and caught many strange fish.
As Goude said, these sea fish are so stupid that they refuse to let go if they bite them, and Morey doesn't need to use any skills, and he just pulls them up when he finds the bite.
But just as Morey was about to pull another hooked sea fish, a huge force suddenly pulled horizontally, pulling him unprepared.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed the iron railing on the side of the ship in time, I am afraid that he would have been dragged into the sea with the rope right now.
Looking at the wooden block tied to the rope as a float, all the way into a cloud of dark water that had just appeared in his sight, Morey's face showed a hint of melancholy.
"Young master, are you okay?"
Hyde hurriedly picked up Morey and asked with concern.
"I'm fine!"
Morey patted the non-existent dust and said with a little embarrassment.
It should have been a shark that snatched his prey just now, this kind of predator in the water may be able to crush himself countless times compared to himself in his previous life, but if he is facing him now, even if he is in the sea, he is not necessarily afraid of it.
Just now, it was more that he underestimated the enemy, and his slackened body was pulled down before he had time to react.
"Young master, I'll help you get that shark back!"
Without the company of the opposite sex, Balta was also lazy on the deck and doing nothing, and when he saw this, his eyes lit up, and he rose to his feet, grabbed a spear, and roared to kill the shark that dared to take its prey.
But Morey shook his head: "Do you know what that place is? ”
"Isn't it just a lump of seaweed?"
Balta looked at the clump of seaweed, which was almost a mile long, scratched his head, and said in confusion.
"That's not just seaweed, it's a sargassum sea!"
"A spherical area of sargassum and seawater with ferocious sharks waiting to be hauled!"
Balta was stunned for a moment, and then replied not to be outdone: "It's just a few sharks, and I'm not afraid of them!" ”
Morey nodded, and continued seemingly nonchalantly:
"Well, if I told you that there might be a benthic devilfish and a black dragon lurking under the sargassum, would you still go now?"
"Hehe, young master, it's a good day today!"
It is not clear whether there is a black dragon Morey under this Sargasso Sea, but he just wants to hurry to his destination, and Morey, who has no dragon slaying plan for the time being, does not plan to do much, but just let the Murry deflect the angle and avoid this moving Sargasso Sea.
......
The journey was smooth, and although he was in the deep sea, Morey did not encounter too many strong winds and waves, and if all went well, he would only need to go 30 nautical miles to reach his destination.
In his soul, Morey could even feel the cheers of Paul, who had been stranded here to take care of the treasure, and the big guy was speeding towards him at the moment.
But at this moment, only to hear the sound of a propeller jamming from the stern of the ship, the speed of the Murray began to drop rapidly, and finally it was completely still on the sea.
"What's going on?"
"Boss, the propeller should be wrapped in kelp!"
Gou De took a sip angrily, it was almost such a distance, and he actually dropped the chain at this time!
Then Gourd ordered a few water-based launches to cut the kelp wrapped around the propellers.
But at the moment when they were about to enter the water, Morey clearly felt a strange vibration.
There's someone under the water!
Morey's heart flashed with such a glimmer of realization.
"Come on!"
But before the city guards, who had taken off and were left with a pair of underwear, reacted, one after another tridents stabbed in waves, nailing the six people to the water.
"Enemy attack!"
Now everyone understands!
The propellers were entangled, and it was clear that someone was doing this on purpose, in order to force them to stop!
