"General Quwa, the first slaves have completed their mission. The reactions of the people on earth have been recorded by us, so please take a look. "In fact, the writing that passed among the krakens was more of a way to convey meaning with the concave and convex sense of carving, which was quite different from the earthly races recording information through specific symbols and lines. But that's not to say that there aren't anything like it in the Kraken, it's just that graphic writing has always been considered something extremely sacred, and how can there be a creation in this world that can read the full meaning just by looking at it? It's just amazing, and it's too sublime. As a result, graphic writing has long been used for religious purposes, with the Krakens believing that these sacred characters would allow their worshippers to understand their minds, and the nobles and scholars of the Kraken would learn the script to a greater or lesser extent as a way to express their loyalty to the gods.

Qu Wa took the stone slab handed over by the staff officer, and his fingers quickly rubbed over it, and information about the size, layout, and other information of the entire Heartless Bay fleet immediately appeared in his mind. Hand it back to the staff officer the white slate, a soft stone that the Krakens found in a unique deposit at the bottom of the sea, and it could even be said that it was this white soft rock that allowed the Kraken's contact writing to develop and spread. "Has anyone else read it?" the other person he said was the rest of Lietao's military personnel. As for the priests, they would ask their advisers for this information if they were interested in military affairs, but most of the time, the priests believed that the will of the Lady of the Tides played more important to victory in the war than strategy. Although they also studied the art of war as a way to please the goddess, the things that soldiers and priests talked about and thought about were not the same.

The staff officer nodded, and while passing the information to Quwa, the others were given the same text. Just as the general was about to give a new order based on the collected information, a strange voice came from the high platform above that was covered by a curtain. It was the call of a dolphin, to be precise, the call of a very rare white dolphin, and the main reason why those who heard it was so sure was that this white dolphin was the pet or partner of the current chief priest. Therefore, the cry of the white dolphin is the word of the high priest. As for why the High Priest didn't speak in person as he did when he appointed Isita before, it was mainly because the priest's body, soul, and emotions belonged to the gods she served, even the voice. When she opened her mouth, she must have been reading the will of the Goddess on her behalf. And the priests themselves, who were mortals, substituted themselves with the voice of a white dolphin.

"Her Majesty means she wants to see the information. A younger priestess walked up to Quwa, and there was no humility in her tone. This is not because she is arrogant, but because she is speaking to the general as a messenger of the will of the high priest, just as the goddess talks to the believers through the form of the high priest. In fact, the young priest's legs were already slightly weakened by awe, you must know that the general Quwa in front of her was the most warlike general of the Lietao clan in a hundred years, a man who started as a soldier and relied on his own strength to reach this position step by step. If the noblest woman in the whole raging tide is now the chief priestess of the goddess, then the most powerful and majestic male is the Quwa.

The general ignored the priest and turned to raise his head towards the high platform diagonally upward. The platform has a total of three tiers, in the form of a staircase, the highest layer belongs to the high priest, symbolizing the gods above all else, the middle layer belongs to the priests and soldiers, who are the executors of the goddess's will in the mortal realm, and the lowest level, the commoners of the scorching waves, as for the slaves and prisoners of war, they are not the same creatures as themselves in the eyes of the darlings of these goddesses, and naturally do not deserve a place on these three steps. The location of Quwa and his advisers, just below the staircase from the third floor to the second floor, was the closest place to the goddess except for the priests. "Your Majesty, please focus on controlling the fog for now. Leave these battlefield chores to me and my men, and you don't need to bother with them. ”

The presence on the highest staircase was silent for a moment, but it didn't take long for the white dolphin's voice to sound again. Quwa closed his eyes and said no more, he bowed respectfully towards the steps, and then handed the slab in his hand to the priest from before. The latter held the slate in both hands, as if he were holding some fragile gem, but the high priestess could not see it by holding it alone, and the priestess, after opening her cheeks a few times, finally mustered up the courage to go up the stairs. With each step, her body trembled with nervousness, and with each step, all the priests looked at her with more and more envy. The goddess has her own way of expressing her favor, and the closer a priest can get to her, the more appreciated she will be.

There are a total of 365 steps on the platform, symbolizing the number of sunrises and sunsets in a year, every 30 to 31 is a large step, representing a cycle of the moon from lack to full. The distribution of the three tiers of stairs is not equal, with 266 steps from the lowest floor to the middle floor, and 99 steps from the middle floor to the upper floor. The steps from the bottom to the middle were clearly divided, and civilians of each profession were told how high they could go at most, creating a hierarchical structure in the society of the Burning Waves. The ninety-nine steps from the middle to the upper level are not strictly planned, because these steps are not controlled by mortals, and who can go on these steps is completely determined by the will of the goddess. And when He instructed a Siren to step up the ninety-ninth step, he heralded the birth of the next chief priest.

The priest with the slate in her hand could hardly take half a step when she reached the twentieth step, she bit her lip and showed an unwilling look on her face. But the look quickly faded, and it was disrespectful to Lady Tides to force her way up the sacred ninety-nine steps. She had to kneel on the steps and hold the slab high above her head, and it wasn't her job after that. The "grunt" current, which swirled in the sea, swept the slate out of the priestess's hand, all the way up, into the curtain. What followed was a long silence.

Neither Quva nor his advisers, no one dared to act before the High Priest had commented on the information. It may sound like it will delay military aircraft, and it is. But the goddess never let her followers down, and it turned out that with the advice of the high priest, the battle would have ended in a great victory for the waves. But this time, the Goddess's will did not come, and the slab flew out again, as it had entered the curtain, and fell under the steps. This means that the battle is up to the mortals themselves. But this was what Quwa wanted, as a soldier, he used war as his own sacrifice to please the goddess, so he did not want to get the help of the goddess in the process of this sacrifice.

"Give my orders to the troops!" the general ignored the slate and turned his head to convey to his subordinates the battle plan that had been conceived in his mind during this time. And the priest, who knelt down on the twentieth step, finally stood up and walked slowly down the stairs. She walked over to the slab and bent down to pick it up, only to find that there was a finger-deep crack on the front of the slate!
