At this point, Robert took a deep breath and looked a little strange, and he began to continue to tell the story of the second captain of the Leon family.

Captain Leon Jr. inherited his father's business, he drove the ship left by his father, hired a large number of sailors to continue to do pirate livelihood, but it was not at the right time, in 1856 the privateering license was abolished, the sun never set on the empire became the overlord of the sea, no longer need to raise pirates to rob the enemy country, little Leon can only turn to maritime trade.

Captain Leon Jr. failed in trading, not only did he not make much profit, but the cargo was also accumulated at the bottom of the ship and could not be disposed of, so that his principal was depleted, and from then on Captain Leon Jr. began to be depressed, immersed in spending time on wine, squandering his father's remaining inheritance in excessive drinking and gambling, until he found something and began to regain his strength.

It turned out that Captain Leon had found the location of the island in the charts left by his father, and out of curiosity and thirst for wealth, he once again set out on that mysterious route with a small number of sailors.

In the autumn of 1859, after a storm and rough seas that capsized ships, Captain Leon Jr., who had survived his life, finally landed on the island.

The island is large, but extremely difficult to spot, the surrounding waters are always shrouded in storms, and merchant ships on the route often sink, and over time no more ships pass through.

When Captain Leon Jr. came ashore, he met the natives of the island, who he found to be strange-looking, and all of them seemed to be deformed.

According to the description, Mu Lan remembered the appearance of the residents of Herzros, who were supposed to be the kind of people who combined with aquatic creatures.

In addition, Captain Leon Jr. discovered that the indigenous people here were highly civilized, with unique calendars, languages, and religions, and that the Leon family was exposed to the legend of the unspeakable god for the first time.

The natives fanatically believed in the Old Dominator, wearing silver accessories that were incompatible with their own backward forging techniques, offering prisoners of war from the surrounding hostile islands, slashing them apart from bloody altars, dancing naked in flames in a frenzied cult ritual.

Although the sacrificial rituals were disgusting and disgusting, it was striking that they really seemed to have been promised by the gods, and the fish schools around the island were so abundant that they were simply inexhaustible, and the natives never worried about food shortages.

This is the true God who can do good! Those mediocre fools will only pray to useless false gods, but they are still destitute! Spend your whole life in the drunkenness brought on by alcohol! Robert said something his father had said repeatedly.

The benefits of the Old Ruler were not only there, but Captain Leon Jr. found that the people here had almost stopped aging, and that there was no old age among them, and according to the chief, all of them had attained immortality except for the death caused by war.

"Eternal life!" Mu Lan was a little surprised.

"That's right!" Robert continued: "Underneath the island, in the deep darkness of the sea, there were a family of gods called Gadasi, meaning stalkers in the deep sea, who would surface from time to time to trade with the natives. ”

"The Gadamas needed an endless stream of humans as sacrifices to Saratos, who would awaken in the future, and in return, they gave the natives the power to live forever."

"How do the natives do it?" Mu Lan asked.

Robert was silent for a moment, the answer seemed to make him a little difficult to speak, he rubbed his blue eyes, and after a long time, he said, "Intermarriage." ”

Mu Lan was a little dumbfounded, she didn't expect it to be this method.

Robert continued: "Because they are the family of the gods, the natives are keen to intermarry with Gadasi, and the creatures who combine the two races will have a body that will not age, and from then on, the natives of the island will gain eternal life, and they will collect sacrifices for Gadasi for a long time, constantly wage war against the rival tribes of the archipelago, and plunder slaves in a steady stream. ”

"So......" Mu Lan thought of the appearance of those residents of Herzros Town, and keenly thought of a question: "What about the price of eternal life?" ”

Robert laughed miserably and said, "Half-breeds also bring about deformed appearances, the habit of staying in the water like amphibians, these half-breeds don't start out like this, as they get older, they will gradually grow to look like a water creature like Gadasi, until they eventually grow into a full ......."

"How about the full experience?" Mu Lan asked.

"Will jump into the water and become a member of Gardasi......" Robert took a breath.

"Oh my God! How could anyone want to be like that! Lin Yiyi exclaimed.

"There will be!" Robert smiled bitterly: "My father is one of them, he heard that those humans who have transformed into Gadasi, and can even see their great-great-grandfather in the deep sea, they really live forever, although the price is a little terrible, but eternal life is tempting him......"

"If you become like that...... Lin Yiyi said disgustedly: "What's the point of eternal life, it's ugly!" ”

"My father, he's probably crazy." Robert sighed and said, "I suspect that he joined that evil religion and gave his soul for Saratos, so that it would explain why he did not suffer from the natives and returned unharmed." ”

Robert goes on to tell that after half a year, the ship returns, and Captain Leon Jr. is not in the busy harbor he is familiar with, but in the little-known remote part of Herzrostown.

At this point in the story, Mu Lan found that there was some deviation from Robert's previous version, in which Captain Leon Jr. settled here because of his wife.

The way Captain Leon Jr. brought fortune to this remote town was to believe in the Old Dominator and become a faithful believer in the alien gods.

Wealth appealed to the poor fishermen, even if they converted to pagan religions, and the rudiments of the Holy Spirit Cult emerged under the propaganda of Captain Leon Jr.

It turned out that the cult group that caused trouble all over the continent was established in this way, Mu Lan became interested, starting from a small town and gradually absorbing a large number of believers, how did all this happen?

"Because the God they believe in can really bring good!" Seeing Mu Lan's doubts, Robert whispered, "Since they converted to paganism, there are more fish in the sea, and the fishermen in Herzrose Town are many times more efficient at fishing than usual!" Everybody's rich! ”

"When the fishermen in the surrounding area heard about it, they also wanted to come and get a piece of the pie, but when they lowered their nets themselves, they found that the fish in the sea were not as abundant as they had been rumored.

The whole town began to prosper, and Captain Leon Jr. became the one who controlled the wealth and livelihood of Herzross......

However, getting something for nothing comes at a price......

Robert whispered, "The Old Rulers are watching everything, and one night in June 1860, countless Gadasi climbed onto the beach, and it was time for my father to make good on his promise......
