Chapter 894: Deep Sea Vice Admiral's Decision
Monday, March 28.
After many days of sailing, Abner's fleet finally arrived on a small island in a hidden sea area west of the Southern Continent under the guidance of the "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea".
Originally, it would not have taken more than ten days if they had taken the normal route, but after all, they had done an unseemly deed, so they had already deviated from the "Russell Waterway" and had to travel several times the distance in the harsh environment in the raging sea to reach the hidden island.
"It seems that the previous ships that transported slaves also took this route...... Hey, I don't know how many people died on the road, no wonder the Delion family hasn't gathered enough people for the festival in a year, I'm afraid the loss is far greater than the safe arrival!
"Damn it!
"I don't know what happened to Miss Gwen's uncle...... Unfortunately, his group was smuggled away before I arrived on Ithaca, and Miss Gwen got false information from beginning to end in order to lure her into an ambush......
"Otherwise, I will definitely help her get the person out first."
Abner, who had just finished attending the tarot meeting, stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the island that had already come into view, and couldn't help but sigh a few times.
Speaking of which, there haven't been many things worth paying attention to in the recent Tarot Meetings, Miss "Justice" is still completing the task of the "Psychological Alchemy Society" while exploring the location of the "Queen of Natural Disasters";
Miss "The Magician" is still traveling with the circus, and has just entered the realm of Rune;
Miss "Judge" has completely digested the "Judge" potion and bought the "Knight of Punishment" trait in Jane's hand through Abner, waiting for the military's application for "ceremony" to be approved, and then the promotion can be completed;
Miss Temperance's promotion to demigod has not yet been completed;
As usual, the "hermit" lady wandered away from the other members, observing mostly and speaking very little;
The Sun is out with the Chief, exploring the path to the royal court, and has not yet discovered much;
Mr. "Moon" showed his superiority at the party again, because he felt that he had already digested some of the "Potions Professors" before he paid much attention, but according to the "World", it was probably because he often taught herbology to ordinary believers who were willing to learn at the Harvest Church, and even some special-purpose potion combinations.
In addition to collecting dolls, researching history, and volunteering at the church, he also likes to ponder various potions for use in different battle scenarios, so the digestion progress is so impressive.
There is nothing special on Klein's side of the "world", except for the occasional hearing that he took out another pirate and took the bounty, only Abner knew that he was still sweeping the floor and wiping the toilet most of the time......
Mr. "The Hanged Man" relied on providing information, support, and selling stolen goods to the "world", and finally managed to make enough money with the bounty he received, and bought the "eyeballs of the three-eyed thunderbird forehead" from Miss "Magician", and found all the two main materials needed for the "Sea Singer" potion...... Unfortunately, the "Obnis" sea monster needed for the ceremony has not yet been found.
Although Abner knew the approximate location of the one in the original book, it was a few months later, and the sea monster was not motionless, so it was completely unreferential.
By the time Abner reviewed the Tarot meeting, the military ships had already sailed into the dock and leaned against a makeshift trestle.
Abner came back to his senses, and was greeted by the guards who stayed behind, and entered a manor house with a simple exterior but a rather lavish interior.
As soon as he settled down, Abner's "Owen" clone offered to take a look at the slaves who had been brought in first.
This request was not abrupt, after all, Owen was sent to supervise the normal completion of the ceremony, and it was only natural to make sure that the "sacrifice" did not go wrong.
Soon, he was led by the guards into an isolated area deep on the island.
Abner had thought that the slaves who were sold here would be kept in captivity like cattle, maintaining only a minimum standard of survival, and that there would be unbearable tragedy everywhere......
But the truth is completely different!
As soon as he entered, he saw a town with an extremely bright surface.
The city is full of people, and the river is endless; There are many shops on the street and abundant supplies; There are also many restaurants with smoke curling and fragrant......
At first glance, apart from its smaller size, the town is indistinguishable from the bustling business districts of big cities like Beckland.
But soon, Abner found out that something was wrong, because some people in the city did not pay the bill when they shopped, they took it directly, and even punched and kicked the salesman, wantonly insulting him! When I saw a woman who was pleasing to the eye, I stripped off my clothes on the street to satisfy the most primitive impulse......
And the party who was robbed and violated clearly gritted his teeth and hated madly, but he endured it silently as if he had accepted his fate.
Looking at what was happening in front of him, Abner furrowed his brows and looked at the manager next to him.
He didn't know anything about the conditions here, and didn't understand why these "sacrifices" lived like this.
The manager knew what your lord wanted to ask, after all, anyone who saw this situation for the first time couldn't help but be puzzled, so he quickly explained:
"This is the rule of the island's town, 'Happy Town'...... We provided everything for every slave who arrived here, beautiful clothes, comfortable dwellings, fine food...... Except for killing, so that they can do whatever they want here!
"However, there is a premise that everyone must serve others for a week before enjoying it, and then exchange it for a week of 'happiness'!
"During the period of 'service', you need to give what you want from others, and you can't resist, otherwise you will lose an opportunity to 'enjoy'.
"This is both the heavens and hells of the Lord."
I see...... But what is this "Happy Town"...... This is clearly the "City of Sex" and "City of Demons"!
Gu Qi
The "servant" suffers and hides hatred, cursing the "happy"; And when they become "happy people", they will inevitably have to vent everything they have suffered on the rotating "servants......
In this way, the cycle of "indulging" desires, releasing "malice", enduring "suffering", and "cursing" others goes on and on......
It seems that I guessed correctly, this is the sacrifice needed to cultivate a qualified "shadow world", right? Behind the so-called "Deep Sea Festival", it is really to use the sea monsters that once carried the brand of essentia to communicate with the "Shadow World"?
Oh, but in addition to these slaves who came to the combination of heaven and hell, the administrators here are probably also part of the "sacrifices...... Playing with people's hearts and manipulating desires are also characteristics of the "Shadow World", and without them, the ritual would not be complete.
Thinking of this, Abner glanced at the administrator who was still talking endlessly, excitedly recounting everything here, and shook his head secretly, feeling that this idiot probably did not know what fate was about to becoming.
Killing is forbidden here, though...... Well, if you can kill someone, the number of people who are afraid of heights will drop sharply, but it's understandable...... But "killing" is also a kind of desire, and it should be detrimental to the so-called "ritual......
Wait...... those pirates under the command of the "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea", and the naval soldiers I brought! I see, they are also "sacrifices"!
Yes, it may be very difficult to keep this "sacrificial ceremony" a secret for so many people to witness...... But after so many years, only a little information has come out from the outside world...... Heh, I'm afraid that except for a few people, such as the "Deep Sea Admiral" and an overseer like me, they have all become part of the ceremony, right?
Even if this is really the last "deep sea festival"...... Then I and the "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea" may also be "sacrifices......
It's no wonder that Hal would venture against the sea monsters in order to draw in the power behind Gwen, Lydia, and Tran...... He had a premonition of danger, right?
Also, although the Prime Minister has been really busy lately, it seems normal that he cannot be able to preside over the ceremony...... But think about it, as prime minister, in which year will he be fine? Why did it work in the past, but not this time?
Did he sell Owen?
Could it be that he felt that the ritual lacked "lust" and brought Owen up? Or was it the collusion between Owen and George III that touched his bottom line?
Heh, if I'm really Owen, I'm afraid I won't find out until the last minute, right?
In a flash of thought, Abner suddenly felt that his previous preparations were not safe, after all, if this was really the last "Deep Sea Festival", maybe the bigwigs behind the scenes who were staring at this matter...... For example, the "Great Duke of Blood Donation", such as the "Mother Tree of Desire", will have other means!
As for his previous preparations, it was nothing more than an appointment with Cross Fia, an appointment with Helen, and an appointment with Karen who had visited the "Black Throne" before......
But now it seems that these preparations are not enough...... At least there have to be angels to prop up the field!
But I don't know many angels, who should I go to, and how can I impress them?
Do you go directly to the Mother Goddess or the Goddess for help?
It's not impossible...... Although when I entered the island, I found that it was shrouded in some kind of power, which should have cut off the means of contacting the true God through prayer......
But that's nothing, I can rely on Mr. "Fool" to "go over the wall" to transfer!
While thinking about it, Abner also continued to wander around the city with the administrator.
He found that the city's supporting services were more complete than he had imagined, including teachers who taught manners, makeup, and manners, and could transform a scruffy slave girl into a decent "noble" lady in a matter of days;
There are seniors who teach all kinds of literature, painting, and music, and they also teach those who are eager to learn.
In short, there are so many kinds of teachers that they are not much better than comprehensive universities, and even more complete!
"Human desires are also diverse, there are always people who don't like women, don't like pleasure, don't like to vent...... So we will also satisfy their spiritual desires. The manager added with a smile.
That's really ...... Abner suddenly felt that this was a bit absurd, because he found that these sub-demons and cultists had done a better job of education than the major cities of the four great powers of the Northern Continent...... After all, they are willing to invest and completely conform to the desires and preferences of the educated......
Yes, Abner has already seen the essence of those teachers, they are actually the dependents of the "sea monster", they have long become "aliens", just wearing a human skin...... However, when they are human beings, they are probably experts in their respective fields.
"This is not so much a teacher as a 'sacrifice' for the sea monster...... While they are teaching knowledge, they are also guiding those who are not dominated by physical desires to give their faith to sea monsters...... What a sinister thing! ”
Abner was secretly speechless, ostensibly echoing the administrator, and then they walked and watched, and soon discovered the latest batch of "slaves" who had entered the town.
As the ritual was imminent, they had no time to "enjoy" or "serve", so they were held in solitary confinement, constantly fearful of the "servant" and jealous of the "happy".
Such a state also meets the requirements of the ceremony.
Abner scanned around and soon found Miss Gwen's uncle, who was not as numb as his surroundings because he was educated, but still shocked by what was happening on the island, and had mixed emotions......
Because Abner and Gwen had an agreement when they were on the "Black Throne", promising her to spy on her uncle's group of slaves, so at this moment Abner quietly invaded the other party's mind with a virtual personality, and monitored it at any time to avoid accidents.
After doing this, he stopped touring and returned to the manor by the sea, accompanied by the manager.
……
At the same time, after struggling violently, the "Vice Admiral of the Deep" Hal Constantine finally made up his mind and pronounced the honorific name left by the mysterious man:
"The Unknown Land Connected by the Pure White Eye......"
