The arrival of Gloria had made Søren even more powerful!
No one could ignore a powerful high-grade witch, not to mention that she was also a member of the Witch Council and had her own territory. Information about Gloria could not be hidden from others. After all, she had ruled a city in the north for nearly ten years. Gloria had reached the high-grade ten years ago (witch level 15 or above), but she had only recently touched the threshold of a legendary witch (witch level 18 or above).
The higher the level of a wizard, the slower the speed of improvement. Søren was completely different!
The lifespan of a legendary witch was quite long, far longer than any melee profession. Therefore, they also had many requirements when choosing a spouse. Otherwise, they would still be in their prime, but their spouse might already be old. In terms of lifespan, legendary melee professions were at a disadvantage. Perhaps it was because too much blood and injury was consumed before the advancement. The lifespan of a legendary melee profession was only one-third of that of a spellcaster profession. Sometimes, they might not even live for two hundred years.
Gloria chose Søren because she valued his potential. Legendary and non-legendary were people from two different worlds.
…
The Sea Temple.
After sending away Søren and Gloria, the Naga Siren priest's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Call the Deep Sea Hunters!"
The Sea Priest stood in front of the statue of the Goddess with a scepter in her hand and ordered the servants around her, "Immediately spread the news of Gloria. We must let Asrod know as soon as possible. In this way, he will be afraid and panic. It is very likely that he will destroy Søren at all costs, or even let the Naga Siren royal family launch a conspiracy in advance. Otherwise, he is doomed to be defeated in the end! "
"As long as a war breaks out between them, Søren's strength will be weakened!"
"He has already controlled most of the interests of the outer islands. I must weaken his strength and then control the power of the sea. Only then can I be qualified to compete for the position of the high priest!"
"I have a hunch that the Goddess will soon give a new oracle. Only the high priest is the closest position to the Goddess."
A trace of ambition that was deeply hidden surfaced.
The Naga Siren priest turned and entered the pool in front of the temple. A wave of divine power poured into her body, and then her blue skin gradually became transparent. Something like scales could be seen faintly falling off. This was the power of faith gathered by the Sea Temple. Since she was rewarded by the Sea Goddess with a trace of divinity, she could try to absorb this power. The divine power gathered in the Sea Temple was changing her little by little. Eventually, she would completely break away from the scope of ordinary things. She might become the Chosen One of the Saints, or she might have the opportunity to step into a higher realm.
However, she had to first suppress those fellows with ill intentions within the Naga Clan!
Distorted shadows appeared in the seawater.
A creature whose shape could not be seen clearly but was filled with a terrifying presence appeared. It hid in the seawater beneath the temple and used a strange voice to express its emotions.
The Naga Siren priest took off her priest robe and looked at the blurred deep-sea hunter. She said slowly, "Pay attention to the restless Naga Siren royal family. If there is any movement, immediately open the door of the abyss."
"Let the pet of the goddess grant them release!"
Speaking of this, the Naga Siren priest showed a cruel smile on her bewitching face.
The blurry shadow gradually disappeared into the distance. They could feel its body twisting in the water. Although they couldn't see its shape, they could feel the dangerous aura coming from it. It was the aura of a terrifying predator.
…
Eastern sea route.
On an island near the eastern trade junction area, which was similar to port Tylon, it was also the territory of the pirate king Ashrod.
"What did you say?"
A man with a cold face listened to the report of his subordinate in front of him and said with an ugly face, "He actually roped in a high-grade witch? How is this possible? How could the proud Northern Witches take a fancy to a mere Pirate King? Is this the Witch Council preparing to intervene in the south coast? No! How can the Witch Council be interested in the interests of the south coast? This is the territory of the Sea Temple! "
"Damn it!"
"I knew it. I had to kill the Throat Cutter at the beginning! I didn't expect him to grow so fast! "
"No!"
"Immediately send someone to contact the Duchess of the Principality of Rossard! The last time she was attacked by the Sea Temple in the Outer Islands, the Duke Of Red Dragon's wife suffered the greatest loss! She must also hate the Throat Cutter to the bone! She must not be willing to give up the interests of the Outer Islands so easily. Maybe we can try to form an alliance with her! "
Hearing his words, a half-naga woman next to him who looked obviously not human hesitated and said slowly, "Your Excellency! The Duke Of Red Dragon is now an enemy of the Sea Temple. If we contact her openly, it is tantamount to violating the orders of the Sea Temple! In that case, I am afraid the Sea Priest will take the opportunity to attack! "
The cold man frowned, looked up at her, and said slowly, "We can't care so much!"
"If we don't fight for the help of the Duke Of Red Dragon's wife, the Naga royal family will not be able to help us now. We may not be able to withstand the joint attack of the Throat Cutter and the high-grade witch. He already hated us when we dealt with the Swamp King! This time, with the help of the northern witch, he will definitely not let it go! "
"Come."
"I want to write a letter to the Duke Of Red Dragon's wife!"
…
The Outer Islands route.
Søren did not stay in Port Tylon for too long. The Outer Islands were now his foundation. So after dealing with some things for a short time, he led the fleet back to the camp in the Outer Islands. However, this time he brought back quite a lot of people. There were twelve ocean-going ships alone. He had to thank the Pirate King Ashrod. It was because Søren's men robbed his fleet that Søren was able to form such a large fleet.
This time, there were quite a lot of goods transported, and more than 800 people were brought over.
Half of them were slaves from the mainland. Many of these slaves used to work in the mines. For some reason, they had recently fallen into the hands of Søren. It had to be said that a group of bad guys were really efficient. Søren's current batch of slaves could easily dilute the proportion of indigenous slaves. The number of indigenous slaves could not exceed the control. Søren had to get a group of mainland slaves and then slowly turn them into townspeople.
Everything could not be given for no reason. Otherwise, they would not know how to cherish and be grateful. Søren had a lot of better plans.
The voyage was quite boring.
The half-month-long voyage forced Søren to turn his energy to learning spells again, and at the same time, to explore the secrets of Teacher Gloria. With a high-grade witch as his guide, Søren's speed of learning spells was obviously much faster. Not to mention, he also had the talents of [Encyclopedic Knowledge] and [Sage]. After learning the most commonly used part of the first circle spells, Gloria suggested that Søren should not continue to learn them. Instead, he should familiarize himself with them and increase his casting speed.
In other words.
She wanted Søren to do in-depth research and rely on proficiency to master the combat ability [Proficiency in Spellcasting].
Therefore, Søren's next days were to constantly memorize spells, and then continuously cast spells after memorizing them. After using up all the spell slots, he would continue to memorize them. In this way, he would obtain the ability [Proficiency in Spellcasting].
It was about the third day of the voyage.
Soran's battle log showed a string of data belatedly:
"Astral Battle [Legendary Battle]: In the middle of January 1676 of the new moon era, when you went to the north to invite the witches to the outer islands, you accidentally encountered the Githyankis attacking the northern tower. In this legendary event, you chose to help the northern witches deal with the Githyankis and finally killed an adult red dragon in the battle. This event greatly improved your relationship with the Witch Council, and at the same time, spread your reputation outside the material plane. However, because the Witch Council strictly blocked the news about the Astral Battle, your legend only spread among the Githyankis in the Astral Realm. [Legend Level + 3] "
…
It was so late.
When Søren joined the [Sea Battle of the Betrayers], it was delayed for many days before he got the Legend Level prompt, but it was not as long as this time. He didn't know if it was because the battle was over now or because of the interplanar battle. However, Søren obviously didn't have time to think so much now. He just glanced at it and put it aside, concentrating on learning how to cast spells skillfully.
With the experience of this trip to the Astral Realm.
Søren felt part of the mystery of instant casting in advance, and at the same time, he also got a prompt of [Skillful Casting].
He was not far from success, and he could feel that he was about to master this spellcasting ability.
Day by day, the days passed.
When Søren led the fleet to the outer islands, someone in the camp immediately came to greet him.
He didn't know when, but a lighthouse had been built near the port. At this time, it had been more than a month since Søren left, and it was already early February. According to the arrangement before Søren left, busy construction work was carried out in the camp. Even a relatively simple dock was built near the natural port. Then there was a five-meter-wide paved road for transporting goods and passage, extending all the way to the east gate of the camp.
The fleet began to be busy unloading, and a lot of materials needed to be moved down.
Søren looked at the dock in front of him and walked down holding Gloria's hand. Before they set foot on land, Vivian in a white princess dress appeared in front of them.
"Brother!"
The little girl shouted happily, and then directly jumped into Søren's arms.
