It was getting closer and closer to the new year.
However, it seemed that this year was not destined to be too peaceful. Under the continuous disasters, the entire southern region did not feel any festive news. An adult red dragon appeared near Whiterun. Although Søren had long known that there was a dragon there, and it was an ancient red dragon, it was not until now that others had discovered its existence. This dragon caused a lot of chaos and attracted a lot of adventurers who tried to slay the dragon. At the same time, it threatened the surrounding cities and forced them to strengthen their defenses.
The red dragon was an evil existence.
The bureaucrats and nobles began to increase taxes on the existence of the dragon, using the excuse of guarding against the attack of the red dragon to collect money. They could always find all kinds of excuses to collect extra taxes. There seemed to be a migration of orcs near the mountains in the south. Because of the antagonism between races, the conflict in this area became more intense. It seemed that a war could break out at any time.
There was little information about the desert area.
However, it seemed that the trade route to the east was cut off by someone. It seemed that the chaos in the desert area was also spreading. No new cities were destroyed, but more turmoil was still fermenting. There seemed to be traces of devil worshippers north of the City of Wealth. The devils had just been cleaned up, and the bewitching devils seemed to have begun to appear. The appearance of the Evil God Followers was becoming more and more frequent. Almost every city had some unfamiliar faces. The Elven Court seemed to have also undergone a division. The Ancient Tree Doctrine of the Druids and the Gods Doctrine of the Ancient Tree Doctrine had a fierce dispute.
It was rumored that some of the high-grade Druil who believed in the Tree of Life had left. Even the legendary 'Earth Walker' felt a little dissatisfied with the Elven Court.
The Tree Shepherds stood on the side of the Druil.
As the balance and protectors of nature, their beliefs were more inclined to the Tree of Life than the Elven gods. Druil had always been the middle power of the elves. Although the elves were also very talented among other spellcasters, no spellcaster profession had more than Druil. This matter was still brewing, and the conflict was still escalating. If there was no powerful force to intervene, it was very likely that it would lead to an internal division among the elves. Druil would split from the elves, give up the belief of the Elven gods, and turn to the oldest Tree of Life.
This doctrine was supported by a large number of Druil from the outside world. At the same time, it was also widely spread among the other races.
They called it [The Revival of Druil]!
Among the humans, half-elves, orcs, half-orcs, and other races, all the nomadic Druil who were inspired by nature seemed to be very supportive of restoring the oldest belief in the Tree of Life. This caused the Druil Order in the entire world to shift. More than 60% of the Druil had transferred their faith to the Tree of Life. The elven pantheon's influence in the Druil was greatly reduced, and the various Druil Churches seemed to be plotting something.
The power of the Elven Gods had declined!
Before the Time of Troubles began, their strength had already declined. This seemed to be something that a certain existence was very happy to see. She had been waiting for this opportunity for thousands of years.
The Queen of Spiders was weaving a spider web, waiting for the first prey to appear!
…
Inside a dark canyon.
A tall and handsome figure was moving forward. He was wearing a noble's robe and playing with a flute in his hand. In this very gloomy and terrifying canyon, he moved forward leisurely as if he was taking a stroll in a courtyard. A strange sound came, which seemed to be sharp and harsh. He listened carefully, then raised his hand and summoned a light. A dense shadow appeared in front of him. It was a palm-sized vampire bat. There were so many of them that they almost filled the dark canyon.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind came, and the overwhelming number of vampire bats flew up. They had sharp fangs and dark red wings. There were probably hundreds of thousands of them. After flying up, they almost covered the sky in the canyon. With so many vampire bats, even a legendary profession would be dangerous, but the person in front of him was not worried at all. He gently picked up the flute and blew it. The notes seemed to come from hell. A black mass of vampire bats fell to the ground. Traces of blood flowed out of their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
There was a burst of applause, and the Demigod Vampire in an exquisite suit appeared. He looked at the man in front of him and smiled. "You are indeed the legendary Hellpoemer! You dare to come here alone to find me! "
Hellpoemer.
A name that was taboo in many places.
The man's face did not seem to be the one in front of him. He glanced at Reinhardt indifferently and said slowly, "The God of Vampires? Could it be that you only have these little tricks after becoming a god? It seems that your life is not very good! I seem to have heard that you were chased by a group of people like a stray dog! "
Reinhardt's mouth twitched, but he still had an elegant smile on his face. He said slowly, "This is only temporary. After becoming a god, I have seen a wider world. An unprecedented opportunity is coming. As long as I seize this opportunity, I can stand on the top of the gods. At that time, no one can stop me from ascending to the throne! "
The Hellpoemer smiled with a playful expression and said, "Is that so? Then you'll have to escape from me first. "
Reinhardt frowned and looked at him. He said slowly, "Do you really want to fight? Why do you want to stand on their side? What they can give you, I can give you the same thing. I am even willing to share everything with you. "
The Hellpoemer showed a sarcastic smile and said softly, "What you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg. Even if you want to cooperate with me, you have to show your value. There are countless weak gods like you in the Pantheon Temple! "
The figure of the Hellpoemer disappeared strangely.
It was like an invisible sound wave spread, and the nearby vampire bats fell to the ground and died.
…
Snake Island.
Søren stood on the dock overlooking everything. In just three days, he had recruited hundreds of pirates. Now his men had reached more than three hundred. Adele's valiant figure stood at the bow of the ship. Next to her was the first mate promoted by Søren. Now that they had enough strength, it was time to clean up the other enemies. Pirates did not need to be trained, nor did they need to be nurtured. This was a survival of the fittest profession. The strong would survive, and the weak would be eliminated.
"Let's go!"
Søren gently landed on the head of the Killer Whale. Facing the awe-inspiring eyes of the other pirates, there was only a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Because he heard a piece of bad news.
It seemed that the influence of the Throat Cutter was greater than he expected. It even alarmed one of the pirate kings who ruled near the south coast.
The pirate king, the 'Swamp King'!
It was not a human, but a hybrid between a Swamp Giant and a Lizardman. The intelligence of the Giant race had always been low, but this pirate king was an exception. The probability of cross-race breeding was very low. It was said that its birth was due to some forbidden spells. The Lizardmen were amphibious creatures. They could move on land as well as in water. The Swamp King was one of the pirate kings who ruled near the south coast. Its pirates included humans, Lizardmen, Murlocs, hybrids, and so on.
If it weren't for the exclusion of racial lineage, its control of the south coast would be more firm.
The three pirate kings each had their own allegiances.
Among them, the Amazon pirate king was backed by the Storm Church. She was a pirate king who believed in the Storm Lord. Another pirate king with half Amazon blood was a non-human creature. He had the support of the Naga Sea Tribe and believed in the Sea Goddess. The last pirate king was the 'Swamp King'. He did not believe in any of the gods above, but gave his faith to the demon god in the abyss.
That was the King of the Deep Sea, the ancient demon [Dagon]!
There was a religious text that said, "In the mortal world, Dagon's cult prevailed in the coastal areas. Its human believers or Swamp Giants (Tidal Giants and so on) mated with half-fish creatures. At the cost of tarnishing their bloodline, they gained great power, rich fishing, and strange treasures from the Demon Lord."
Yes.
The Swamp King was a monster born for certain reasons. At the cost of tarnishing his own bloodline, he gained power from the Abyss Lord 'Dagon'. However, an accident occurred during the ritual. The person in charge of the ritual did not please the evil Lord of the Abyss, and it did not gain much power. On the contrary, an unexpected offspring born during the blasphemy ritual, which was the current 'Lord of the Swamp', received power from the Lord of the Abyss, 'Dagon'.
So.
A monster with a mix of Lizardman and Swamp Giant blood was born.
Not only did it have great power, but it also had the wisdom of a demon. Although this wisdom seemed a little crazy, it still became one of the three pirate kings on the south coast.
This pirate king controlled the south coast near the deep sea.
Its lair was said to be in a place called Demon Island, and only the most vicious pirates would seek refuge there.
It was also the only pirate king that did not play by the rules!
Although the pirate kings had great power and influence, they were still inextricably linked to the church. Almost all of them acted for their own interests and situations. Only this Swamp King liked to mess around. If it was not satisfied with the rise of a powerful pirate on the south coast and attacked Søren, then Søren really did not have much confidence in defeating it.
He needed the power of Vivian!
Although Søren could ask for help from the sea temple, it also meant that he had to pay a price. Not to mention that the news was told to him by the Naga Siren priest.
Søren still remembered the meaningful expression on the priest's face when she said this information!
