vs 36 Strange news
In the vast roaring ocean, there are countless sea clan kingdoms dotted around, but all of these kingdoms are not as special as the country of a thousand sails.
Of course, the mixing of humans and sea tribes can be seen elsewhere, but in this country named after the flying sails, this is the ultimate manifestation.
The peaceful coexistence of the Sea Tribes and humans is impossible in the true sense of the word, and most of the places where the Sea Tribes and humans live together are either countries founded by Sea Tribes traitors such as Sun Island, or where humans and the Sea Tribes, although nominally gathered together, are in fact unrelated.
The country of a thousand sails is not like this at all.
It's a land of mist-shrouded islands and a plethora of sorcery sailboats, and a land of freedom made up of countless unruly spellcasters.
Any human or sea wizard can enter and leave the Land of a Thousand Sails with ease—as long as you're not here to cause trouble.
And for those who are malicious provocateurs, the Land of a Thousand Sails has a powerful force of its own to ensure that their inhabitants are not disturbed.
This kind of power is simple and crude, that is, the lord of the land of a thousand sails, [Dictator] Stark. A third-level wizard who is said to have lived for two hundred years, but who does not look to be more than forty years old. It is rumored that his strength has long been on the edge of the legend, and if nothing else, it is very likely that he will be promoted to the legend within a hundred years.
And with such a powerful spellcaster as the king of wizards, the prosperity and stability of the land of a thousand sails is not so puzzling in the roaring ocean that has always been known for chaos.
Stark's past is not glorious, as a wizard who has been begging for a living at sea for a long time. He wisely chose the promising profession of piracy. Due to the disparity in power among wizards, the constraints of civilization are already very weak - even on relatively mild continents, contempt for the lives of the less powerful has become a common phenomenon - let alone in this sea full of dangers.
Wizards who spend their lives at sea all year round usually have the same personality as the sea - calm, but irritable.
Stark perfectly inherited this template and carried it forward. When he was a minions on a pirate ship—a ship dedicated to plundering convoys of Sea Clan wizards, with the occasional wreck salvage and searching for some legendary Sea Clan secrets—he learned that in order to survive in this cruel world, you must plunder as many resources as you can from other people.
Because if you don't, then sooner or later people will find you.
[You die, I die].
This was the mantra on the lips of the wizard apprentice on the pirate ship after he became famous. Of course. By the time he spoke his mind, he was already famous.
Later, he became the Pirate King of the Roaring Seas.
It wasn't long before he realized that plundering the resources he had gained wouldn't make him one step further on the wizard's path. He chose to think.
Eventually, he gave up his career as a pirate. Transformed into the leader of a witchcraft colony.
He's doing a good job, too.
It only took thirty years. What was originally built on the Gulf of Hellen as a wizarding colony has become a small wizarding kingdom - and now, even in the entire Roaring Ocean, the Land of a Thousand Sails is a well-known name.
And Stark himself. is a human being through and through.
The Land of a Thousand Sails, the first country established by humans on the Roaring Ocean, was intimidated by Stark's strength, and also under his ingenious governance, the two races of humans and the Sea Clan, which had always been at odds, lived in harmony in a magical manner.
......
“...... But in fact, Stark didn't actually do much, he spent his life figuring out how to step into the realm of legends. The praise of him from the outside world is a bit excessive, although he claims to be a dictator, but the country of a thousand sails is now prosperous, and most of it is the credit of a few wizards under him who are sorcery-like but good at managing politics. ”
In the corner of a dimly lit tavern, Béjeka talks to Lance about the Land of a Thousand Sails.
Obviously, she knew a lot more than Lance.
"Looks like you know a lot about the Sea Clan culture. Lance squinted at him.
Both of them were disguised at this time - the means was still the only small amount of human skin powder left in Lance's hand. Although they have undergone a basic makeover, the two still dare not take it lightly, in this kind of country full of powerful wizards, it is easy to be exposed to this little trick.
After all, although Regis's human skin powder is exquisite, it is still not comparable to the lizardman witch doctor's fraudster mask.
Especially at this moment, the entire bulletin board of the Land of Thousand Sails is pasted with the portrait of Lance - a wanted notice signed by the pirate king Stark himself was issued yesterday afternoon, and in the blink of an eye, it has spread to every corner of the Land of Thousand Sails. While such a strong execution is breathtaking, Lance is extremely glad that he got off the ship one step earlier.
Now, although everyone was stimulated by the high bounty, it was still not easy to find a second-level wizard who had been Qiao Zhuang in such a big country.
"I have a good teacher. Bejecca narrowed her eyes, "She's been through four oceans out of the Seven Seas, and the Roaring Ocean is the deepest ocean she knows. ”
"Looks like I chose the right person for your help this time. ”
Lance handed over the second bottle of Aiken Whale Oil.
According to the agreement between the two, after arriving in the Land of a Thousand Sails together, he will deliver the second bottle of whale oil.
Bejeka immediately took the whale oil with a smile on her face.
"Honestly, Stark certainly wouldn't want you for no reason. After all, he doesn't even know you. Bejeka said happily, "It's probably the prophet Eminem who is behind it." Looks like she really hates you. ”
"She didn't hate me, she was afraid of me. Lance said calmly, "After all, she's just a mortal with no magical powers. ”
"You should be in awe of the prophets. Bejeka reminded: "Now that the wanted warrant has been issued. That means she already knows you're in the Land of a Thousand Sails. You don't want to talk about any hatred between you, but it seems to have something to do with that little girl, and if you want me to help you, you'd better tell me all the information. ”
"There's not much to say about me and her. She played a trick on me, and by the way, the Leonard League. She took advantage of me, and she took Mia, it's as simple as that. ”
Lance blinked, "Besides, if she could really determine my location, I'm afraid she wouldn't have issued a wanted warrant, would she?"
Bejeka shrugged, agreeing with Lance's reasoning.
If the Prophet's ability had reached the point where he could locate a person at will, then Lance must have been in the Pirate King's water dungeon by now.
The wanted warrant looks menacing, but it allows Lance to read the hidden message behind it.
My identity as a foreigner sometimes really works. At least because of it, Eminem couldn't find himself. She may not even know if she has come to the Land of a Thousand Sails, just to be on the safe side.
"Is there any news about that Sea Clan artifact?" Lance shifted the subject to Bejeka.
Speaking of this, the latter couldn't help but show a strange expression, looking a little hesitant.
"Actually...... I'm out today, and I've heard a lot of people talking about the fragments of the Sea Emperor's Scepter - it's not that there's not so much news in this hellish place—it's that there's too much. There are all kinds of legends, some of which are fake at first glance, and some of which sound very true, but no one knows exactly what they are. ”
"So, if you ask me now, I can only tell you that you don't know. ”
Lance asked a little curiously, "Then what are you hesitating about?"
Bejeka said with a strange face, "But I got a ...... before Public information. ”
"Public news?" Lance wondered even more.
"Yes, this news is still a warrant issued by the dictator Stark himself - you know, for a powerful wizard who hasn't seen much for a year, it is very suspicious that he suddenly releases news in his own country so actively. So I paid attention, only to learn that Dictator Stark was about to perform a prayer service in Helen Bay. ”
"This ritual seems to be about the Sea Emperor's Scepter...... I don't know exactly what it is, but the ceremony was very grand. The former pirate king wanted all the wizards of the Land of a Thousand Sails who could go to see the grand ceremony. ”
"Ritual?" Lance frowned, "What does he want to do? The fragment of the Sea Emperor's Scepter? This is not a simple ritual that can be done. If he could do that, then he wouldn't need to put it off until now. ”
"That's why I think there's a problem. Bejeka glanced at Lance with some hesitation, "But if such a big thing is made, just to attract you to show up, it seems to be a bit of a fuss, doesn't it?"
"Attract me?" Lance was even more confused.
Bejeka smiled wryly, "Stark's warrant implies that he has been helped by another man who has been favored by fate. And that person will also appear in the ceremony. ”
"Prophet Eminem. We all know, who else but her?"
Lance was silent.
He didn't expect that he would face such a situation two days after he came to the Land of a Thousand Sails.
He did want to kill Eminem, but by no means in front of a third-level wizard, and in front of everyone.
And the ritual seemed to be a lot of work, and as Betteka said, it would be a bit of a fuss if it was just to catch herself.
"When is this ceremony going on?" asked Lance, hesitantly.
Bejeka glanced at him:
"Three days later. (To be continued......)
