Chapter 534: The Trident and the Demise of the Gods
"The god of wealth?"
Jack Sparrow looked puzzled: "I don't study much about the so-called faith. You know, pirates only believe in money and women themselves. ”
"We don't expect wealth to be gained by believing in a single god, pirates only believe in the sword and gun in their hands and the guns on their ships."
He paused for a moment and said, "Except for Collybuso, once upon a time, pirates were willing to pray to her before setting sail, hoping for a good harvest. ”
"But it turns out that Colybso didn't pay any attention to these prayers, and what she did was to overturn everyone's ship with recklessness, so when we found a way to seal her, as you can imagine, none of the faithful came out to stop her."
Tang Sen frowned and said, "What about people other than pirates?" ”
"Maybe it's God?" Jack Sparrow said uncertainly, "After all, if you really want to choose a god to believe, God is much more convenient, right?" Ask for whatever you want. It doesn't make any sense, though. ”
Townsen's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly realized where the problem was.
Indeed, apart from the sealed Colybusso, there are no other gods in the sea who perform miracles.
Is it possible that all the original gods, including Poseidon, the god of the sea, have died out, and that they and their priesthood are replaced by beings called God?
Thinking of this, Tang Sen's brows furrowed slightly.
If this is the case, then my plan to seek the priesthood of wealth by myself may be frustrated.
"Anyway, let's find the Poseidon Trident first."
With Jack Sparrow's compass, it wasn't that difficult to find the location of the Poseidon Trident.
For the next few days, Townsend spent almost all of his free time asking Jack Sparrow to tell him about his various adventures, but unfortunately, none of the procurement tasks were triggered.
Perhaps the goal of sourcing goods on this sea is far less than imagined – but come to think of it, if there were people like David Jones or Colybso, so-called industrial development would be a joke.
In short, the Black Pearl has finally reached its destination.
A deserted island.
It was dawn, and the rising sun shone on the island, reflecting the countless crystals set in the reef, shining like a starry sky.
"This is where the Poseidon Trident is located?" Tom muttered, "It looks shocking." ”
"The Trident is not on the island, but in the sea." Tang Sen looked at the compass in his hand and said, "Are you interested in going down with me to have a look?" ”
"Of course, I will go wherever Mr. Tang goes." Tom said without hesitation.
It just so happened that Tom was a spirit, so he didn't need to cast spells to protect him, and Townsend had the divinity of Colybuso, and he entered the sea like he was coming home.
A person and a spirit jumped directly into the sea, and the sea water pushed Tang Sen's body like an arm command, and quickly dived to the bottom of the sea.
It was obviously uninhabited, the water was very clear, and all kinds of sea creatures roamed at will, and it didn't take much effort for Townsend to find the Poseidon Trident.
This thing looks very different from what people think of as an artifact - it is stuck in a rock, it looks like stone, the shape is quite ugly, and the three-pronged part looks dull, not like it can be used as a weapon.
If you don't go out of your way to find him, you'll even ignore him.
"I thought there was going to be some dangerous thing guarding here." Seeing that Tang Sen easily went to the side of the Poseidon Trident and pulled it out at random, Tom said with some surprise: "I didn't expect it to be so simple." ”
"It's just an abandoned thing."
Townsend held the trident, and the words had already crossed in front of him.
[Procurement product 1: Poseidon's trident was successfully purchased. 】
At this point, all three procurement missions triggered in Pirates of the Caribbean have been completed.
Tang Sen didn't pay attention to the words for the time being, but felt the power of this artifact with his own divinity.
The first feeling was very weak, so weak that it didn't even deserve its name.
This trident does have the ability to manipulate the ocean, but the degree of control it can be pitifully small, at most it can stir up tons of seawater, and there is no way to compare with the ability of Colybso's divinity to set off a tsunami.
The second feeling is that there is indeed divine power in this artifact, although it is as weak as a candle in the wind.
The relationship between divine power and divinity is roughly equivalent to the relationship between the caster and the magic power, only with divinity can you use divine power, and the stronger the divinity, the stronger the divine power.
The nature of Poseidon's divine powers is somewhat similar to that of Colybusso, both related to the sea, and Townsend tries to absorb the divine powers in the trident, but those divine powers are unmoved.
"Even if it's so weak, can't Colybso's divinity absorb it?"
"Between the gods, they can only absorb divinity, but they can't directly absorb divine power?"
Tang Sen was a little disappointed, he could be sure that this trident was definitely more powerful than that, and now it became like this, probably not only because of the passage of time, but also because it had lost the blessing from its master.
Perhaps Poseidon, the god of the sea, has died out completely.
If this is the case, then there is no doubt that the priesthood of wealth that he is looking for will not be found.
"Forget it, you can't be too greedy, being able to get a trace of divinity in this world is already an unexpected gain, the heavens and worlds are endless, and there will always be other opportunities."
"It's really not good, and you can plan in Faerun."
Since he couldn't force it, Tang Sen simply relaxed his mind and took Tom back to the Black Pearl.
At this time, the flying Dutchman had already floated, and William Turner was waiting on the deck of the Black Pearl, and when he saw Townsend returning, he immediately looked at Townsend with excitement on his face.
"This is the Trident of the Poseidon?"
"That's right." Tang Sen said: "Just break it and you will be free." ”
Townsend could probably guess why smashing the sea god's trident would lift the curse on the sea.
Probably, what is left on the Poseidon Trident is already the last divine power left by Poseidon in this world, and when these divine powers disappear, it means the complete end of the era that belongs to Poseidon.
In fact, Tang Sen guessed that even if he didn't kill Colybso and let the other party escape, he might not be able to survive for long, and the supernatural power would eventually slowly disappear from this world, and industry and technology would replace the once brilliant gods.
But that has nothing to do with Townsend.
