Chapter 34: The Seven Kings of the Five Seas
On the Golden Dream, Roland finally contacted Klein again after a sleepless night's waiting.
"It's been confirmed, this is what the night swallowed a long time ago, the uniqueness of the ancient death."
The words coming out of the golden form were full of playfulness.
For some reason, Roland always felt that Klein was looking at him playfully.
"I guess he went to provoke JΓΆrmungad?"
Roland makes a guess based on his knowledge of Norse mythology and the goddess of the night.
"Yes, tsk, this big snake is so fierce, I guess I can't beat it unless I really wake up as an old pillar!"
Speaking of the old days, Roland remembered the fallen creator and primitive hunger, last night's lively gathering of gods, only these two old days appeared, Roland clearly remembered, the old days of the mysterious world were not only these two.
He described last night's memories to Klein in detail, and Crane didn't say much, so where did all the other old days go?
Klein seemed to see Roland's doubts, and said with a smile: "You kid himself is too hard to protect, why are you still thinking about these things?" The righteous God also does not want to offend the old days, which are the remnants of some troubles. β
"I'm just a little curious, if the righteous god is the end of the sequence, gaining uniqueness and completing the corresponding ascension ceremony to become the righteous god, then what is this kind of existence in the old days?"
"Hahaha, if you look back and think about it, why are there only six righteous gods before me in the 22 sequences? The enthronement ceremony is something that will be understood after gaining uniqueness, so why didn't the owner of the uniqueness of the other sequences perform the enthronement ceremony? β
Roland's heart moved, "What do you mean?" β
"Hehe," Klein smiled and explained, "The so-called old days, one is the wreckage of the Lord of the Great Source, the corrupted body is countered by the uniqueness and loses its independent thoughts, this old day generally does not appear in the material world, because the uniqueness of their bodies will not sacrifice themselves to let a wreckage without consciousness and thought ascend to the gods.
On the other hand, those who have been destroyed in the enthronement ceremony, or who have failed to ascend to the gods, may be able to call them [false gods]. They have completely lost their qualifications to become gods, but they still cling to their oneness, praying that one day they will be able to regain their qualifications! β
"I see." Roland nodded, he didn't ask Klein why the enthronement ceremony was destroyed, everything has selfish desires, except for the original and final Lord of the Great Source, the real Creator, it is estimated that all beings have their preferences.
Just like the war between God and the True King, the primordial sun god and his two children, Adam and Amon, their selfish desires caused them to either fall or leave, leaving only this mysterious world full of holes.
"Don't think too much, after you become this anomalous existence, there is not much left of this world and your karma, send the Death Card to Mr. Azik as soon as possible, as a descendant of the ancient Death, except for Mr. Azik, no one should be qualified for this."
"Hmm," Roland nodded to the golden form, and couldn't help but glance at the solid card behind him, the skeleton knight on the card seemed to sense Roland's gaze, and it slowly turned its head and smiled at Roland.
Between the moments of existence, Roland woke up from his bed, the waves outside the window still advancing, but he was left behind by the porthole, because the Golden Dream had started again, sailing towards the depths of the endless sea.
Roland did his duty as a chef first, and made a fine dinner and sent it to the captain's quarters, and the Grim Reaper's smile told him that he had to make it clear to Amylis.
Even if Roland is very reluctant to Ammelis, he must send the Grim Reaper card away first, and then return to the ship.
Amylis did not refuse Roland's invitation to dinner, and after the two of them had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, Roland looked at Amylis for a long time, his eyes full of complicated feelings.
Amerys, who eats people with short mouths, was about to stiffen her mouth to let Roland retreat, but Roland hurriedly said, "I can actually officially join you." β
"Huh? Have you figured it out? β
AmΓ©lis looked at Roland, her ruby eyes lit up.
"But, I really have one thing to do."
The light in Amerys' eyes dimmed instantly, and her whole body wilted.
"Well," Roland hurriedly explained, "Don't be disappointed, my business is because it must be done by me, and I can return to you when I am done." β
Amerys' eyes lit up again, and the cheered captain was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed a smile on Roland's face, and then he reacted to the ambiguity in Roland's words, and his face turned red.
"I'm just missing a chef on board! You, you captive! Don't forget that you're still my captive! Working for me is just buying your life. β
"Yes, Captain, I'm your captive."
The boy succeeded in making Ammelis hear what he meant, and Ammelis's eyes lit up even more.
The two looked at each other for a moment, unable to bear the ambiguity brewing, and Amerys, whose heart was beating faster, still asked first: "What do you do, why do you have to do it?" β
Roland had already organized the language on the way here, and he explained to Amylis in a relaxed tone: "I have to help one of the elders and deliver something to another elder, and the destination is Texas in the New World, a county called Marlin, where my elder teaches. β
"You've noticed that I can accommodate multiple traits, and that's just a special ability from the thing that exists in my body and I'm going to send."
Ammelis narrowed her eyes, abandoning the ambiguity between the two, just the special features of Roland, as well as his cooking skills, are all excellent talents that Amylis is willing to fight for on the ship.
So Ammelis also had a bottom in her heart, and asked, "So, will you be in danger this time?" β
"I don't know."
Roland smiled bitterly, what is the situation on Mr. Azk's side, and whether there will be any unexpected situations on the road, Roland himself can't say.
After all, Crane has not fully ascended to God, he may be able to see what is happening around Roland, but to see through time and what happens to Roland's future, I am afraid that he will have to wait for Lord Fool to really wake up and descend to the mysterious world as a pillar of the past.
Coupled with the uniqueness in the Grim Reaper card, to put it mildly, if this information is exposed, Roland will instantly become the prey of transcendents all over the world!
With his current strength, he simply cannot protect himself in this situation.
Ammelis and Roland looked at each other seriously, nodded and said, "Okay, when I finish attending the Pirate King Conference, I will send you back to Good Luck City." β
Roland wanted to ask Amylis if she would like to go with her, if she had just met, Roland would have tried her best to pull this strong thigh.
But now, when she just wants to hold this thigh in her arms, Roland is worried that she will be hurt unexpectedly!
So Roland still diverted the topic, "The Pirate King Conference? β
"Yes, the seven pirate kings of the five seas can hold a conference of pirate kings, and according to the oath of the seven ships, unless they can't help themselves, they must all go to the meeting."
The red-haired captain introduced to Roland, "The last time the Pirate King's conference was held was more than a hundred years ago, it was to deal with Intis's navy, and this time, it should be to deal with the chaos that occurred after the "False Queen" incident. β
"False queen? Wasn't that the event of a year ago? Roland was a little surprised, because part of the characteristics of the fake queen were already on Amylis.
Ammelis shook her head, "This is just my guess, just this morning, the royal family of Rune issued an announcement to unite with Intis and reorganize the navies of the two countries to eliminate our seven pirate kings. β
"Wait," Roland was a little puzzled, "how could it be so sudden?" Moreover, the announcement directly said that it would target the Seven Pirate Kings. β
"Actually, that's talking about all pirates." Amerys raised a glass of red wine and took a sip of it, and complained, "I really don't know who gave Cowinton IV courage. β
Cowinton IV has been controlled by the Goddess of the Night, so it is the Goddess of the Night who wants to exterminate the pirates?
But why? More than half of the Pirate King's forces are backed by major churches, and besides, with the navies of Rune and Intis?
While still in Good Luck City, Roland often read in the newspapers about the navies of these two countries being bullied by the Pirate King's fleet.
If the Goddess of the Night is going to make a move, will the Church also be involved?
"Amlis, regarding this announcement, is there a spokesperson for the church who said to participate?" Roland asked Ammelis in a reassuring manner.
"That's where the trouble is," Amylis smiled bitterly, "Not long after this announcement was issued, the Night Church, the Earth Church, the Storm Church, and the three churches all announced their support, and they would directly send transcendents to fight with the ship, and besides, the Steam Church would not send people, but would support new ships and steam machinery!" β
Roland subconsciously touched his heart, the goddess of the night wouldn't stare at the cards in her body, right?
Quite possibly!
"So, do the Pirate Kings have the strength to fight?" Roland asked a little nervously.
Ammelis took a sip of red wine, "If we can really join forces, even if only three or four pirate kings can go all out, it's hard to say who will kill the deer, the naval battle is not a land war, it's not the transcendent on that side, that side will definitely win." β
Roland nodded, and Amylis gave him some confidence.
"Alas, alas, if it weren't for ...... Let's just run straight to the New World, who cares how they fight. "Amylis doesn't seem to have any intention of fighting head-on, and no pirate king would want to face an official ship with the Church Transcendentals.
"Because of the Oath of the Seven Ships? What is this, some kind of contract? Roland rang out as she said the term.
"Yes, it's a troublesome, old oath."
As soon as Amylis stretched out her hand, a book flew automatically on the bookshelf in the distance, and at the same time, the small round table that the two of them used as a dining table fell into the black hole that suddenly appeared below, and a desk rose up in its place.
Not only that, Roland felt that the stool under his buttocks suddenly had momentum and moved automatically, and soon, the two people sitting opposite each other were pulled and sat side by side.
"This ship, is it alive?" Roland asked Amylis in some surprise.
The supernatural abilities of the mysterious world are derived from the supernatural characteristics, and there is no magical ability similar to that of the Harry Potter world.
The Golden Dream, an "old-fashioned" seven-masted ship, obviously didn't have the kind of advanced mechanics found in the Steam Church, so the only explanation is.
This Golden Dream is a super-large, life-reactive magical item!
Ammelis glanced at the excited but not nervous teenager and shook the book in her hand, "I was about to tell you." β
"Please." Roland made a look of humility and turned his attention away from the scent coming from beside him.
Through Amerys's narration, Roland learned that the original Golden Dream existed for a longer time than Russell's!
At that time when humanity was still in a corner of peace, and several so-called empires and ancient gods were still pouring into each other, there was a time when everyone regarded the mysterious sea as the most mysterious treasure house.
Some people believe that there is a shortcut to becoming a god in the depths of the sea, and some people believe that in the west, on the other side of the sea, there is a vast and endless continent with no rivals, and full of opportunities and treasures.
In short, for one reason or another, suddenly one day, all countries and forces began to build their own expedition fleets.
Because everyone is protected by primordial gods, there are many flagships that have been blessed by primordial gods.
But not long after the mighty fleet went to sea, it encountered a terrible disaster.
Of the thousands of ships, only seven of the most powerful flagships remained, surviving before the catastrophe.
In order to survive, all the flagships offered sacrifices to the primordial gods together, prayed for help, and were even willing to give up their hatred for each other and join forces against the enemy.
Thus the Oath of the Seven Ships was born.
This pact is simple, in the face of a catastrophe that threatens to destroy everyone, everyone must abandon their hatred and estrangement between each other and join forces against the enemy!
As a reward for the sacrifice, the wreckage of all nearby ships was condensed into the hulls of the seven ships, and the extraordinary characteristics of all the seas were condensed and mixed, and finally seven powerful warships were born!
Relying on the oath of the seven ships, although the seven ships escaped, no one said that they wanted to go west.
The Oath of the Seven Ships did not restrict the seven ships from attacking each other, and humanity returned to the essence of continuing to fight without external pressure.
Eventually, there are still seven Pirate Kings, but only four of the legendary ships that actually carry the original Oath of the Seven Ships remain.
However, although the other three ships have been destroyed, the "core" containing the oath of the seven ships is still retained, and there is a default rule on the five seas, only the pirate force that has a "core" or a legendary ship can be called the pirate king!
The seven pirate kings who are now roaming the five seas are:
Poisonous Black Death, Barbatos Gaga
Desperate Black Sails, Mephistopheles Norrington
Nemesis, Luigi Mario
The Ruined Prince, Wolfgang Estes
Nightmare Deep, Howard Stryker
The Resistance, Mohammed Ahmed
and, the Golden Dream, Amleese Edwards
After introducing the situation in the five seas, the "Legendary Ships" in Ammelis's hand also came to an end, and she threw the book out casually, and the book automatically returned to the shelf.
