030, Paladin Carrion (1)

"This is the most mysterious and dangerous sea area of the Arctic Ocean, the Leas Triangle!"

On the morning that Talos had eaten up the High Nightmare Curse attached to the gold coin, in the morning light, the Garon finally arrived at the final destination of the three channels of communication, the Leth Triangle, which the three channels of Evelyn, Bill, and Richard pointed to.

As far as the eye can see, this area of the eerie triangle is full of mist and looming mirages, interspersed with some rocky and eerie outcroppings, and a few small islands that can be seen as far as the eye can see.

It is as if this is not a vast sea, but a continent with varied and intricate topography.

Because of this, the Garon and the human mercenary ships that followed behind had to slow down.

"The treasure obtained by Juana's adventure will almost attract all the pirate forces rampant in the central ocean and the western ocean, I wonder which forces on the mainland will come?"

"The sea is boundless, too vast, far less convenient for movement than on the mainland, and the ocean can't set up teleportation halls in important cities like the human kingdom, so I'm afraid they have missed the best opportunity when they get the news. ”

As the human who didn't miss the opportunity, Bill smiled proudly: "I wish the Arcane Shooters could get rid of more pirates in the process, the fewer people there are, the better it will be for us." ”

Although the human priest had made a cooperation with the son of the Black Sea Lord and signed a pact of divine power—something he had never thought of before setting out on a voyage to sea—the insatiable possessiveness of his heart's desire led him to pray to the goddess of wealth all night last night, hoping that the fewer pirates and forces of all parties would come to the Leeds Triangle.

In this way, with the elite Black Sea Knights, Naga Mages, and High Swordsmen under the command of Talos, they can have an advantage in this operation.

"Not to mention the forces on the mainland, even when we first entered the Arctic Ocean, we could still see a lot of pirate ships, but now there is no shadow, it's really strange. ”

Richard's casual curiosity made both Bill and Talos have certain associations, the former remembering the group of fishmen on a rainy night, and began to think about the probability of encountering fishmen or mermaids in the Lees Triangle, and how strong the other party might be.

Talos raised a question: On the side of the Naga Kingdom, is there really no one else interested in the treasure of the madwoman Juana?

Talos didn't think too deeply, though, for as he continued to go deeper, a pungent smell of sulfur came through the mist and the sea breeze.

The smell was so strong that even the mist that never melted away on the surface of the sea was covered with a layer of sulfur's characteristic yellow and became cloudy.

"A smell of sulfur, are we approaching Black Dragon Island?"

Black Dragon Island, where Juana is most likely to hide, as clearly marked in Emma's message to Talos, is located on the edge of the Lees Triangle.

Near this island is a special kind of magical beast, the Dinosaur, which resembles a chicken, but has a tail similar to a dragon or a lizard, and is huge, almost the size of an ordinary four bears, and is said to be the product of the dragon's "hunger", and is very hostile to any non-dragonborn creatures.

Considering the rumors that Juana has dragon blood, there is a high probability that she will hide on Black Dragon Island and retreat from the enemy with the help of a dinosaur with third-order strength as an adult.

Therefore, Black Dragon Island is the primary target of Talos and his party after entering the Leos Triangle.

Alesa smiled and replied, "It's still early, Master Talos, we still have at least six hours to get to Black Dragon Island, and if there are no accidents along the way—wait, that corpse?"

Following the direction of Alesha's finger, Talos found a body hanging from a reef in the sea not far away.

Known as the most dangerous and mysterious part of the Arctic Ocean, it is not surprising to see a corpse in the Leeds Triangle, and there are many adventurers and mercenaries who lose money here every year.

The nature of things changed by a badge on the corpse, a golden shield with a silver iron-gloved fist on it.

"The emblem of His Highness Fayol, the god of order and knights!" Richard, who also believed in the god of order and knights and the goddess of wealth, recognized the emblem on the corpse at a glance.

After that, he immediately carefully identified the corpse's clothing: "Silver armor, fish scale gauntlets, knight's sword that I don't know where it was lost, it can't be wrong, this is a paladin of the Temple of Order and Knights! Damn, who did it?"

The Knight of Human Blood clenched his hands into fists, looking furious, and then begged Talos, "Mr. Nepton, can you wait for me for two minutes? No, just a minute, I want to put away the paladin's body." ”

"Don't bother, who's going to use a levitation technique?"

At Talos's command, a Naga mage drew his wand and pointed at the corpse not far away, and the paladin floated under the invisible magical power and gradually approached the Garon.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Nepton!"

Talos nodded and smiled back, but his brow furrowed.

Why did the Paladins of the Temple of Order and Knights appear in the Leeds Triangle?

What is his purpose, the treasure in the hands of the madwoman Juana?

No, the timing is not right, just like Bill just said, the forces on these continents have all missed the best time.

As far as Talos knew, there was only one of them overseas at this point in time, and the Golden Empire was hunting down the heretical Jacob, who was most likely a descendant of Urban I and Queen Jane.

The moment the name Jacob flashed through Naga's mind, Talos suddenly had a very bold guess: Is it possible that Juana and Jacob, these two men and women who seem to be related to the ancient Sadine dynasty, are both hiding in the Leeds Triangle?

After all, according to the information provided by the original wanted notice, Jacob fled southwest after the battle of Blue Whale City in Sarafurs, which is in the direction of the Baltic Islands, and this is a strong argument to support Talos's speculation.

In order to avoid the follow-up pursuit of the Temple of Order and Knights and the Golden Empire, Jacob is likely to infiltrate the Pirate Alliance, disguised as a pirate.

Later, when encountering the Mad Juana Treasure Incident, Jacob took the opportunity to leave the Baltic Islands with the pirates, away from the Golden Empire, to the Central Ocean, or simply into the Arctic Ocean!

In this way, it makes sense why this paladin appeared in the Leth Triangle.

Whoop -

As Talos pondered, a monster suddenly leaped out of the sea, let out a shrill cry, and bit at the corpse of the paladin who had almost floated aboard the Garon.

"Carrion!"
