A sea raid that was a disaster for the Star of Hope ended in an unexpected way, except for a few people in the engine room who had some casualties due to problems with the position of the fallen while unconscious, there were no casualties among the crew or passengers, not even the loss of money, if it weren't for the pirate corpses all over the ground and the pirate ship slowly disappearing on the sea, they might not think that they had encountered pirates not long ago.

Compared to the passengers who had just been rescued and woke up and knew nothing about how to resist pirates on the ship, the crew of the ship was awakened one step ahead of the passengers, helping the Sea Witch and the Feemont team to deal with the remnants of the other two pirates on the ship, and had a little understanding of how these pirates were destroyed.

It's just that because of the wrong information provided by the parties, they mistakenly thought that the Sea Witch's rebellion was because the Feimont team knew about the pirate robbery in advance and bought the Sea Witch in advance, and the Sea Witch wanted to monopolize this sea area, so they would join forces with the Feimont team to solve the other two pirate groups.

Now that the Sea Witch has eliminated Sharp Tooth and the Old Sea Seal, cleaned up the diehards in the two pirate groups, and successfully received the remaining pirates and all the pirate ships that have not been destroyed, it is no exaggeration to say that when the Sea Witch is fully in control of the proceeds of this time, then the sea power she has is not only the most powerful in this sea, but may even be the strongest pirate group on the transcontinental route of Velon and Moissan, even before the year of the fog, it is impossible for such a powerful pirate group composed of more than a dozen large armed ships to exist.

It is precisely because the passengers and most of the crew on the ship believe that the Feimeng team knew about the pirate raid in advance, and then set up a situation with the sea witch to deal with the other two pirates, so they are not grateful to the Feimeng team for saving themselves from death, but are more hostile and even hateful.

Because in their opinion, the Feimont team is simply setting up a situation in their lives, and if there is a slight mistake in any link in the middle, such as the sea witch accepts the commission and still chooses to plunder, for example, the other two pirate leaders are not so careless, etc., then the passengers and crew waiting for the ship will have an extremely tragic fate, and the lucky ones can be redeemed and regain their freedom, and the unlucky ones will be sold as slaves and spend a miserable life in an unknown place.

Therefore, when the sea witch left with her booty, the attitude of the passengers and crew of the ship towards Femon's team also became very bad, if it was not for the captain and other high-ranking officials on the ship to stop them, maybe they would have spoken ill of the Faemon team, and even fought fiercely.

The Fermont team was naturally displeased with the revenge of the passengers on the ship, but they also knew that this was the result they or Canto Fermont wanted to see, so they didn't say anything, and all returned to the team's suite cabin, looking like they wouldn't come out again on the next trip.

Compared to the ordinary crew and passengers of the ship, who had been misled and had not yet fully recovered from their panic and hatred, the top and senior combatants on board the Star of Hope who were the first to be rescued and the first to join the anti-piracy operation were a completely different view.

They could all see that the Sea Witch was the absolute commander of the entire clean-up operation, not only the pirates under her command were completely obedient to her, but even the members of Faimon's team were 100% obedient to her orders, and this attitude and behavior was definitely not a mercenary-hired relationship.

And later, Canto Fermon appeared and joined the clean-up operation, and the command center of the entire operation was transferred from the Sea Witch to Canto Fermon, and the intimate actions that Canto Fermon and the Sea Witch inadvertently revealed were all showing that the relationship between the two was definitely not as simple as they leaked.

However, those who saw the slightest hint of it were silent about the matter and decided to rot in their hearts, knowing full well that even if they made it public, it would not have much impact on Canto Fermont, and that they would offend a team of the world's top adventurers and a pirate king who might soon become the ruler of a sea area.

Unlike the others, even if he knew that Cantor Fermon knew in advance that the pirate raid would happen, the captain of the Star of Hope was grateful to Cantor Fermon and the Fermont team, because he knew very well that if something really happened to the Star of Hope, even if he was redeemed from the pirates by the Kraken Shipping, then what awaited him would be endless internal scrutiny, and he would never be able to sail the seas again for the rest of his life.

Because after anyone understands the pirate attack in the first half and the process of the fall of the Star of Hope, they will think that the whole process is too strange, even with the help of mysterious forces such as witchcraft, the Star of Hope will not be able to completely fall without resistance, not to mention that the Star of Hope itself has the blessing of the sea god and the existence of divine power that can greatly weaken and resist extraordinary power.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it will feel more like there is an internal ghost in the dark, and before the official battle, the ship did find out the pirate internal response, but whether all the pirate internal response was completely eliminated, and whether there was an internal response in the crew is a questionable thing, and the captain of the Hope Star is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

In fact, after the order on the ship returned to normal and the Star of Hope set sail again, the captain who calmed down also doubted whether there was Neiying on the ship, and the scope of his suspicion was not only the people on the ship, but also the people of the Kraken Shipping, because after the battle was finally over and even the pirate ship had left, the Kraken who was supposed to protect the Star of Hope never appeared, which made him wonder if someone inside the Kraken Shipping was cooperating with the pirates' actions and luring the Kraken who originally protected the Star of Hope to other places。

After that, he even put the object of suspicion on Leo who appeared as a shipwreck, because the timing of Leo's appearance was so coincidental that it seemed to be deliberately arranged.

However, when he saw Canto Fermont behaving very respectfully to see Leo, this suspicion was dispelled.

In fact, what the captain didn't know was that the Kraken he thought had been lured to other places had actually come to this sea area in the late stage of the pirate eradication, and tried to get close to the Star of Hope, but it was frightened by the aura of higher life forms emanating from Leo's body, and did not dare to approach, so it could only follow the ship in the distant sea.

When the Kraken approached, Leo naturally noticed it, and also knew that this should be the Kraken controlled by the Kraken Conch brought back from the Poseidon World.

In the Poseidon world, the sea monster created by the sea monster snail is false, and the core of the sea monster is the power of the sea god world itself where the sea water and the sea monster snail gather, and after the sea monster snail came to the world of Velon, just like the potion made by Leo using the materials of the sea god world, it has also mutated, no longer to create some kind of sea monster, but to directly control the sea creatures that have mutated due to the influence of unknown forces.

For example, the Kraken attracted by the horn on the Star of Hope should be a kind of jellyfish-like plankton mutation, the whole body and the sea water are almost perfectly integrated, hundreds of huge tentacles open to the surroundings, as the sea floats, ordinary people may think that these soft tentacles should be easily torn apart, but in fact, the strength of these tentacles can easily tear the steel plates, cutting off the huge hull at the waist.

With the help of more than a dozen such powerful sea monsters, it is only natural that Kraken Shipping can become the largest maritime shipping company in the private sector.

Due to the pirate attack, the Star of Hope had to change course and move to the nearest island, Molock, for repairs, and also needed to report the whole matter to the management of the Inge Kingdom fleet and Kraken Shipping, which were in charge of patrolling this area, and waited for further processing before continuing to sail, while the passengers on the ship could continue to wait for the Star of Hope to sail, or they could transfer to other ships to continue to the Moisan continent.

After the ship docked, Leo had planned to transfer to the ship of the National Shipping Company of the Kingdom of England and continue to the mainland of Mozambique like the rest of the passengers, but when he heard that Morlock Island was the domain of the Duke of Buckingham and that a temple had been built here to make the Weaver of Destiny, he decided to stay here for an extra day and visit the temple of Morlock Volcano in the center of the island.

Morlock Island is located on the outermost part of the eastern side of the Inge Kingdom archipelago, is a marginal island, and because it is an active volcanic island, it has not been developed for a long time in the past.

For so many years, the Duke of Buckingham had completely ignored the island, and even several editions of the map of his family's territory did not mark the island.

However, this situation has changed dramatically after the opening of new routes between the Moisan continent and the Vilun continent after the fog disaster.

Molok Island, which was originally unattended, is right in the middle of the route, a perfect intermediate supply point, and it is also a key point in the route, and controlling it is equivalent to controlling the entire route.

It is precisely because of the importance of this island that the royal family and the Duke of Buckingham began to fight over the ownership of this island for several years, and even went to the Kingdom Council.

Originally, there was no problem with the ownership of this island, almost everyone who knew the situation knew that this island belonged to the Duke of Buckingham, but the problem was in the territory map drawn by the Duke of Buckingham for his own territory before, because of the neglect of Morlock Island, several maps did not mark the island in the territory, and finally the royal family of England seized the handle, and claimed that this island was privately assigned to the territory by the Duke of Buckingham like a scoundrel.

In the end, the farce ended in a reconciliation between the two parties, as the Inger royal family was granted a portion of the island's development rights and the right to build a naval military base and dock on the island, in exchange for which the royal family agreed to the Church of the Weavers of Destiny to preach in the kingdom.

With the end of the year of the fog disaster, the world is also changing, the monsters entrenched in the wild have become the main body of the world, and in order to fight against monsters, human society has also undergone unprecedented changes, on the one hand, the continuous improvement of industrial machinery has been strongly supported, on the other hand, various extraordinary forces have also begun to become the norm of society, many of the forces hidden in the underground in the past have gradually stood in front of the stage, and various things related to extraordinary powers have become the focus of attention, among which they began to appear frequently, indicating that the gods who are about to return are the focus of attention。

In the years just after the end of the year of the fog, because of the obstacles of the wild monsters and the fact that the governments of the world have not yet recovered from the disaster, there is a lot of chaos everywhere, and this chaos also makes people need spiritual comfort even more, so the church has become the only way for people to get comfort.

During that period, all kinds of churches sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, in addition to some of them were the Orthodox Church of the True God, there were many of those that changed the Church of the Evil God, and now all kinds of evil god sacrifice rituals circulating in the world were also circulated during that time, according to statistics, the casualties caused by the various sacrifice rituals of the Church of the Evil God during that period even exceeded the casualties caused by the monsters in the wild.

Therefore, after the situation stabilized, the Church of the True God with the Orthodox Church as the core began to hunt down and arrest the Church of the Evil God, and finally drove the Church of the Evil God out of the major cities and regions of various countries, leaving the Church of the Evil God and the monsters in the wild.

To this day, various pursuits related to the Cult of the Evil God have not stopped, and various high bounties have always been on the wanted list of the Orthodox Church.

However, in addition to these cults, there are actually several new gods that are neither recognized by the Orthodox Church nor classified as cults.

It's not that the Orthodox Church doesn't want to classify these emerging gods as evil gods, but because these emerging gods themselves have extremely behind their roots and powers, such as the ice goddess of the Ice Kingdom of Dyad, or the Weaver of Destiny recommended by the Duke of Buckingham.

The Fate Weaver was a god that the Duke of Buckingham had been believing in before the Year of the Fog, but at that time, it was only the Duke of Buckingham and his cronies and allies who believed in this god, and the Duke of Buckingham also wanted to use his power and resources to try to get the Orthodox Church to recognize the Fate Weaver as a true god, but only to get a promise from the Orthodox Church that it would not list it as an evil god for the time being.

Until the fog disaster appeared, the Duke of Buckingham took advantage of people's panic and began to promote the Church of the Weavers of Destiny in the territory, and the Church of the Weavers of Destiny did protect the people in the territory in the year of the fog, so with the end of the year of the fog, the Church of the Weavers of Destiny also began to spread to the world through some associations of devout believers.

The reason why the Church of the Weavers of Destiny was able to spread so smoothly was because the Kingdom of Inge, which had become the de facto Lord of the Sea, recognized the legitimacy of the Church of the Weavers of Destiny.
