Chapter 66: Clues
Rato rarely talked to people about the sea prayer ceremony, and "Tan Xing" said very strongly:
"Yes, the 'Governor of the Sea' marries the sea, thus eliminating the violence of the sea and making it peaceful, and the 'Governor of the Sea' truly becomes the husband of the sea, thereby gaining control over the sea.
"As the assistant priest and the deputy assistant priest, we can also get gifts from the satisfaction and joy of the sea, from this wedding, and harvest different degrees of extraordinary power, and everyone who has the blood of the sea in Santa Harbor will also receive certain gifts, but they are relatively few."
It turns out that "Governor of the Sea" is synonymous with "Husband of the Sea...... The assistant priest and the deputy assistant priest are equivalent to the relatives of one party to the wedding or the friends who are busy helping after the wedding, and they naturally get a lot of thanks, and other people with the blood of the sea are like children attending the wedding, and they can generally harvest a few candies........ Giaro's description of the ritual of praying for the sea.
Curious, he asked, "Would the Governor of the Sea do that with the sea?"
Don't weddings always end with newlyweds getting laid?
"Of course!" "After the marriage process, the sea will attach itself to the four 'maids of the sea' and unite with the 'governor of the sea' through them, so the first child born to each 'maid of the sea' is a noble person with pure sea blood and the strongest extraordinary ability.
"Why four instead of one 'handmaiden of the sea' is because human beings alone cannot bear the vastness, vastness, heaviness, and transcendence of the sea, and must have enough companions to share it."
The more you hear this, the more evil it becomes....... the person who marries the "handmaiden of the sea" is equivalent to marrying the remnants of the power of the sea, no wonder it will be taken seriously, and the fate will change, the only problem is to recognize and love his wife's first child... Lumien pondered for a moment and said, "Can the Governor of the Sea withstand the enthusiasm of the sea?"
And it's four at a time.
"One of the two most important purposes of the vigil is to use that house and some of the sea clans hidden in that house to change the body of the 'Governor of the Sea' so that they can withstand the fury and wanton of the sea.
"This is the reason why the 'Governor of the Sea' can only be for a year, even with physical changes, with the acquisition of power and transcendent ascension, they will not be able to withstand it for much longer."
Consumables, the husband of the sea is a consumable....... Lumian sighed secretly:
"Then why did the 'Governor of the Sea' return to the sea after leaving office?"
"No one knows the exact reason, but there is a certain speculation, Juan. Oro felt that it was the sea that did not allow those who had once been its husbands to start a new life, and I think it was the transformation of the vigil, the erosion of conjugal intercourse, and the influence of the power of the sea that made the 'Governor of the Sea' more and more like a sea creature than a human, and eventually inevitably returned to the ocean where they felt peaceful and comfortable. Rato felt that his inference was correct.
What the hell are you talking about in the sea...... Some kind of natural spirit that can manipulate the oceans or a transcendent being?
Lumian will pull to. Giaro's answer just now relived in his mind: "Clans of the sea?"
"A crumpled monster that can disguise itself as a demon and a long striped black worm that can burrow into the neck to control humans?"
"Yes." Lato wanted to light a cigarette, but couldn't move his hands, "We, the 'children of the sea', are actually the families of the sea, and one of our responsibilities is to guide some of our families from the bottom of the sea to the land with the help of our extraordinary abilities, and help them settle down and multiply. ”
But Ludwig said that the Battings Black Worm came from an alien planet, not some kind of sea dependent...... Lumian didn't rush to ask what extraordinary abilities the "children of the sea" possessed, he paid more attention to the details of the prayer ceremony itself: "What is the other important purpose of the vigil?"
Lato had a look of "do you lack enough knowledge about weddings": "Marriage requires the exchange of rings, and the other purpose of the vigil is to transform the body of the 'Governor of the Sea' at the same time, and add additional peculiarities to a unique but fixed gold ring, so that it can match the identity of the bride of the sea."
The unique shape of the gold ring ....... Lumian lifted his spirits and said, "And then?"
Last year's April Fool's Day prank had the fringe members go to Tollaire to order a gold ring and hide it in the belly of the lamb sacrifice!
"Then, when the rest of the ritual is complete, the 'Governor of the Sea' takes the golden ring, throws it into the sea directly in front of the ship, and shouts in the unique language of the sea: 'I will marry you, O sea, as a symbol of my conquest of you!'
"If the sea agrees to this wedding, it will set off gentle waves that turn them into white foam petals and sprinkle them on the bodies of the four 'maids of the sea'.
"The ring it gave back was symbolic, representing control over the waters around Santa Porto."
Just the sea around Santa Harbor? It seems that it is indeed not the real sea, but something that can affect this sea....... Lumien thought for a few seconds and said: "O sea, I will marry you...... How do you say this sentence in that unique language?"

Latto. Giaro thought back a little, and made a croaking sound.
Lumian, who was still under the effect of the "Speak the Language" spell, did not understand, believing that this was not any of the languages of the Northern Continent.
At the same time, he saw Lato and the figure of the "Knight of the Sword" in his eyes slowly shake their heads.
If the "Knight of the Sword" is really a member of the "Temperance Faction" who split off from the "Rose School" and joined the "Fool" Church, then he should know the languages of the Southern Continent, and besides, his sequence is not low, and the time to become extraordinary is not short, he has been relatively active a long time ago, and has left his own little Arcana cards in different events, such a person must have mastered most of the supernatural languages...... What he meant was that this was not a language within the Southern Continent language family, let alone a supernatural language such as Ancient Hermes, Dragons, and Elves? Lumian looked at Lato. Giaro, amusedly asked:
"Are you sure you mean 'O sea, I will marry you'..........'?"
Lato hesitated for a few seconds and said: "It should be, this is a language left over from ancient times, it has existed since there was a prayer for the sea, well, there are only a few words.. ….”
I'm not sure.... I didn't master the language systematically, but I could say two or three sentences according to the tradition...... If I think the real meaning of that passage is "open sesame", how do you refute that? Lumien felt that things might not be as Lato described.
The people of the Fishermen's Guild and the village of Milo may be like some of the guys Aureor and Franca, taking a special language they don't understand and replacing its original meaning with their own understanding.
Lumian's thoughts flickered, and his expression did not change significantly: "After that ring was attached to the special, it was kept by the 'Governor of the Sea'?"
"It's not." Lato shook his head, "In addition to the 'Governor of the Sea', the 'Handmaiden of the Sea' and the sailors in charge of controlling the ship, there are also four 'Children of the Sea' with relatively pure blood as deputy assistants, guiding the 'Governor of the Sea' and the 'Handmaidens of the Sea' to hold different rituals and teach the 'Governor of the Sea' the 'Marriage Language'. The gold ring was kept with one of the vice-priests until it was ready to be used before being handed over to the 'Governor of the Sea'. ”
The "Governor of the Sea" didn't have a chance to change the ceremonial ring..... Lumian suppressed the eagerness in his heart, and asked unhurriedly, "What happened to the failure of the sea prayer ceremony last year?" Even the 'Governor of the Sea' is dead. ”
Lato was startled at first, and then showed a relieved expression: "That fake asked you for help?"
"Yes, last year's prayer ceremony failed for some reason, and the sea went berserk and killed the 'Governor of the Sea' and the four 'Children of the Sea' who served as deputy assistants on the ship, and only the 'Handmaidens of the Sea' and some of the sailors survived."
All four of the assistant priests are dead? As soon as Lumian found the clue to April Fool's Day, he found that it was broken.
The few people who had the best chance to replace the sacrificial ring all died in the failed prayer ceremony!
Lumien pondered for a few seconds and said, "What happened to the surviving 'Handmaidens of the Sea' and the sailors?"
"They're all alive, but they're being closely monitored." Seeing that the failure of last year's sea prayer ceremony had been leaked, Rato didn't care much about the survivors' information, "We arranged for ordinary members of the family to marry those four 'maids of the sea' who didn't actually gain the power of the sea, although this will not bring about a supernatural change, but it is still good for reputation."
"Those sailors are from the village of Milo, Juan. Oro gave them some benefits, at the cost of not being able to leave the village of Milo until this year's prayer ceremony was successful. ”
Lumian abruptly changed the subject: "Sacrifices such as lambs for marrying the sea were carried to the deck by sailors?"
"Yes." Rato nodded, "This kind of clunky and laborious thing is done by sailors. ”
If one of the "Bards", "Mad Woman" and "Salted Egg Superman" is mixed in the sailor, and the other party has a higher-level supernatural ability or magical item of the "Thief" path, then it is completely possible to use the opportunity of the handover to steal the real sacrificial ring from the corresponding assistant priest and replace it with a fake ....... "Thief" path is one of the three ways affected by Tianzun, and it is not too strange that the core members of "April Fool's Day" have corresponding powers or items....... Lumian quickly had a certain speculation.
He was unfazed to Lato. Giaro said, "Tell me the information about the four 'maids of the sea' and the surviving sailors last year."
Rato reminisced as he roughly recounted it.
After remembering the information of the suspected targets, Lumian turned to ask, "Will all the people who participate in the sea festival be checked?"
"Yes, you can't bring anything unauthorised on board, that could affect the effect of the ceremony, and Juan. Olo will use his power to do some monitoring before the ship arrives at its destination. Lato replied in detail.
Sure enough........ Lumian bowed his head slightly: "Juan. What kind of power does Oro have?"
