Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Half King
The sounds outside the hallway were more lively than usual, noisy, and chaotic. From time to time, the whole ship shook violently, creaking and creaking, as if the whole ship was about to fall apart.
Charlotte still prefers the quiet environment before, at least she can concentrate and think, but now the time is getting shorter, and the sea god does not know when she will attack the ship.
Besides, he had no choice but to be imprisoned here.
As the whole ship swayed like a roller coaster, the oil lamp on the desk dimmed and froze, and in this complex environment now, Charlotte narrowed her eyes and stared intently at the gray-brown notebook in her hand.
After reading the parchment scroll on his desk, his instincts told him that the book had an important connection to the secret of Captain Morey's immortality.
‘... On the third day of meeting her, I was hooked. She is the most beautiful flower in the ocean and the most intoxicating person of my life...'
‘... On the twelfth day of my acquaintance with her, she was like a child who hadn't grown up yet, naughty, playful, laughing, and always liked to be coquettish in front of me...
‘... On the twentieth day, I formally gave her my heart, and she smiled beautifully for her, and gave me her hand..."
‘... On the thirty-fifth day, against the objections of her family and my superiors, we did a lot of nonsense in an attempt to get both parties to agree that we should be together...'
‘... On the thirty-seventh day, the most objectionable member of her family to our relationship was her brother. On that night, he proposed a solution with the Sea Imperial Family, and invited the generals of our country, with his father as witnesses, to duel with me. ’
‘... On the thirty-eighth day, I defeated him with a powerful scimitar skill, and with a gloomy face, he walked out of the dueling arena. Eventually, my willpower got everyone to agree that I was with her, and the wedding was just ten days away. ’
‘... On the forty-second day, the Demon Empire next to it suddenly launched a sneak attack on our country, and those miscellaneous nobles and wizards wanted to stop the marriage between our country and the Sea Imperial Family, and even did not hesitate to start a war. For the sake of my love, I must defend this sea...'
‘... Forty-seventh, day. Lying down, on the bed, me. Just mention, start writing. It's already quite difficult. I am afraid that my life has come to an end. I'm sorry, my love. I, no more, can appreciate the flowers of the sea...'
‘... Seventy days. I've woken up. Why did I wake up? After inquiring about her human brother, I learned that she had given me the 'Mermaid's Tears' to save me from hell...'
‘... On the evening of the seventieth day, after offering me the 'Mermaid's Tears', she fell asleep forever in her dreams as she lay down on her bed because of her weakness. And when she fell asleep, she was as lovely as a princess, but I knew she would never wake up again...'
‘... On the seventy-second day, she was taken away by her father, and in the manner of the burial of the Sea Emperor, she put her beautiful flowers into an ice coffin and sank into the ancient 'Palace of Eternal Sleep', and I could never see her again...'
‘... On the seventy-third day, her brother informed me that the Mermaid's Tears could only be used on the person he loved so much, and that he could raise them from death and have life again, but at the cost of his own life. Because it is the 'Mermaid's Tears' of the Sea Imperial Family, its effect not only woke me up, but also made me increase my strength dramatically, stepping into the realm of the half-king level, and allowing me to have an immortal body..."
‘... On the 80th day, the feeling of the royal rank is really amazing, as long as my 'kingdom' is still there, no matter what kind of damage I suffer, I can recover in an instant, and I am truly immortal!
‘... I'm going to make them pay, the price of real blood!'
Reading this, a cold sweat broke out involuntarily behind Charlotte.
'Immortal Body', and 'Mermaid's Tears', no matter how stupid you are, you can guess that the person who wrote this notebook is Morey, I really can't imagine that he is actually the hero of this fairy tale-like tragedy.
As for the younger brother of the princess of the sea royal family who later turned into a human in the book, Charlotte guessed that he should be Wright. Because of the later description of the 'king', Wright is willing to become the prime minister to assist Morey, which is very similar to the relationship between the two now.
Captain and Vice-Captain.
And his 'kingdom' should be all the crew members of this ship, which is why in the original sacrifice, Morey, who had strong strength, did not dare to kill himself under the opposition of many crew members.
Because it would indirectly lead to the collapse of his 'kingdom', it would be an extremely dangerous thing for him.
"However, the biggest problem is still 'Wang'..."Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but feel a headache.
He knew that Captain Morey was strong, very strong. Even if he has the strength of his heyday, before using the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Reversal', he has no chance of winning against Morey.
And what I never expected was that Morey's real strength was actually a half-king rank.
A long time ago, Charlotte had read the explanation of the hierarchy of strength among the powerful men of the West Pole Continent, and the explanation of the 'king' in the book simply described: "As long as the kingdom exists, it is immortal." ”
Therefore, in the West Pole Continent, whether a country can prosper or not depends on whether the king who leads the country really has the power of the royal rank.
This is also why the strength of the West Pole Continent is distinguished by official ranks, for example, soldier rank, knight rank, general rank, handsome rank, phase rank, king rank, whether it is a cultivator mage or a warrior who is good at melee combat, or an assassin hiding in the shadows, the official rank is used to distinguish the strong and the weak.
The reason is very simple, as long as you have the strength of the corresponding rank, you can have the same rank and position in a country that you are loyal to.
This is a matter of course, no country on the West Pole continent will treat the strong harshly, even if it is a military rank, and wants to use it for its own use.
In the eyes of the people of Xiji, the strong should have the honor that the strong should have.
"Huh. Charlotte sighed.
But those so-called honors are destined not to have everything to do with themselves...
"Let's take the time to think about what to do..."
......
The gray sky, flickering with thunder from time to time, shuttled through the clouds like a silver snake. At the same time, due to the dark clouds, it is impossible to know whether it is daylight or dusk.
The huge waves and the wind constantly rushed against Fu Lisan, and compared with two days ago, it was more manic and violent.
Captain Morey and Vice Captain Wright looked out at the horizon in the distance, and the two were silent without saying a word.
"How long has it been since a huge smoke has been found on the horizon in that direction?" said Morey's voice, calm and loud in the wind.
And that direction is to send a few small boats by himself, responsible for luring the direction of the sea god.
"It's been a whole day, my captain. Wright said calmly, "Do you smell it? ”
Woo-----
A piercing sound rang out from afar.
"Well, it's harsher than I expected, and even from such a distance, I can feel its anger. ”
"Hostile to the gods of the sea, it seems that this is also our fate. ”
"That's just its name, Wright. Morey glanced at him, "It's not really a god. ”
Wright shrugged, "But it has god-level power, and you and I know it all too well. ”
"How many people have we lost?" asked Morey, not intending to argue with him.
"About three thousand, plus all the working boats on the Lissan, and we have no way back, Morey. ”
"Maybe. Maybe from the beginning, we had no way back..."
After Morey uttered a meaningful sentence, he looked quietly into the distance and remained silent.
