Chapter 35: Those Old Songs

"Knights, where are the knights here?" asked Lukka in surprise. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Daniel Morgan nodded, his emotions calmed down, his thoughts seemed to be much clearer, and finally slowly told his story:

"Four hundred years ago, the Funge Kingdom was the most powerful nation in the entire Sunset Islands. Unlike those countries on land, we have lived at sea for generations, and the ship is our home, and the ship is our city.

"My ancestor, Rosso Morgan, the founder of the Ship Song Kingdom, drew the first nautical chart of the Sunset Islands, and you still use it today. But now, how many people still remember that incomparably powerful kingdom of the sea?

"As a nation of the sea, the protection of the three main gods is indispensable, especially the goddess of the sea. The whole nation is devoted to her, and her miracles have led us to the establishment of the Knights of the Seas. What did you say back then? Goddess's most faithful warrior!

"I remember that day, February 8, 1085, exactly one week after the celebration of the founding of the Funge Kingdom. In normal times, the ships of the kingdom were divided into twelve fleets and scattered around the country for business, and only gathered during the week of the annual celebration.

"That day was the last day of the celebration. That slut of Merces suddenly issued an oracle to the priests, sending the ships of our entire kingdom to this sea.

"At that time, I was a pious knight, and I did not suspect the female liar at all, and according to her instructions, I foolishly took all the ships to this land where the kingdom had fallen.

"You think my anger is only because she didn't save us? No, it's just a trap designed by the slut to lead us here completely unsuspecting.

"At the coordinates that the slut said, there is a small boat, much smaller than your little boat, which can only carry one person. That man, dressed in a blood-red robe, was soaked with blood all over his body!

"I thought the oracle meant that we should rescue this stranger who was adrift on the sea, so I put him on board and arranged for him to be a VIP room of the highest class. But that very night, he ruined the entire kingdom!

"In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a loud roar. I rushed out of the bedroom and followed the sound to find the blood mage. It's in the cabin at the bottom, right where you were just now.

"He was holding a knife in his left hand, and his right hand was dripping with blood, which he should have cut himself. When I arrived, he was drawing something on the floor with the blood that was pouring down his right hand, a big circle. And the louder and louder roar came from under the pattern.

I shouted at him what he was doing and ordered him to stop, and the blood mage just couldn't stop smirking. I swung my scepter and rushed over, but there seemed to be an invisible shield around him, which catapulted me straight away. I was not wearing armor at the time, and I hit my head directly against the wall and passed out.

"When I woke up again, I saw that the blood mage was grabbing my pajamas and dragging me to the middle of the circle. I fought desperately and finally broke free, but I was powerless to fight back against his powerful magic.

"I prayed out loud and called out to the slut for help. Hmph, she actually responded. Her loud voice echoed through the cabin, but it wasn't speaking to me!

"She said, 'Blood Mage, your sacrifice is going to run away. There is no solemnity of the usual goddess at all, and her voice is extremely frivolous. Then, I was overwhelmed by her divine power, the divine power of the goddess I served, and watched as I was dragged back into the circle by the blood mage.

Then I saw my wife, my two children, my brother, my cousin...... All the royal family members on the ship were all lured by the slut's oracle, and one by one they walked into the bilge, and one by one they were dragged into the circle by the blood mage!

"I watched as the Blood Mage killed my relatives one by one, but I couldn't move a finger. Until he stabbed that knife into my heart, I thought, this is probably the end, and what he wants may be the blood of the royal blood. When he had achieved his goal, he should have left.

"But no! The blood of me and my family flowed into the circle, and the pattern of the blood glowed purple, and the circle suddenly became a hollow, and the wind blew out from there, and from this side to the inside. Everything seems to be torn apart by that hollow!

"As for me, my soul has long since left my body, floating above that void, and I don't know what is happening.

"The hollow grew bigger and bigger, taking up almost the entire bilge deck, and everything around it seemed to be absorbed and swallowed by it. Some of the ships were alert and opened their sails to leave.

"But the normally calm sea suddenly swelled with undercurrents, and every ship was swept back into the gravitational sphere of the circle by those currents that didn't exist in the first place!

"Things are far worse than I thought, not only the currents, the winds and the torrential rain are coming, but the Lord of the Storm is also one of the criminals in this matter. I also saw the running golden stag, and yes, the god of trade had nothing to do with it.

"Hehe, O three main gods, should I feel honored to gather the power of the three main gods to destroy my little kingdom of boat songs?

"You think that circle wants to eat my kingdom? no, it just wants to destroy! The magic attacks that erupted from the circle, the slut currents, the stray lightning and the winds of the Storm Lord, what did the mortal wooden ships use to resist?

"My kingdom, the whole twelve fleets and four hundred and sixty-seven ships, were torn to pieces by them! Forty-six thousand four hundred and twenty-three people, not a single one survived!

"Except for my flagship, my capital, which is this ship at your feet. At that time, it also had a nice name, 'Xiangrui'.

"Do you think the end of my kingdom is over? No, that's just the beginning! That circle, that hole, spewed out like crazy all sorts of things I hadn't seen before, including the silver horn you took. I guess the blood mage is trying to summon the whole world on the other side!

"Of course he didn't make it!

"Because soon, out of that hole came a mage in gray robes, holding your amethyst staff in his hand.

"His name is Selva Fez. ”
