Following Søren's order.
The whole of Modo began to operate crazily. All the pirate minions who were lazily gathered in the taverns began to gather, and the materials stored in the warehouse were transported out in batches. Although Søren had stored a large amount of materials on Snake Island, the important part was still transported to Modo City because this was Søren's base camp. Whether it was weapons, food, ammunition, etc., they were basically enough to meet the needs of the camp.
The atmosphere of a war filled the air.
Teams of patrol guards began to gather, and rare grade weapons from the north were distributed in large numbers. Dragon Leather Armor was armed to the elite pirate guards, and the equipment on the drows were all replaced. Søren also had a lot of good things in his hands. Although they were not great equipment, as a pirate king, it was not difficult to take out a batch of rare grade 1 equipment. Many pirate leaders called for people to gather, and the warships docked near the port moved all the goods down, and then replaced them with batches of ammunition, weapons, and medical supplies.
Even the blacksmith's shop was filled with the sound of sharpening knives. After being lazy for a month or two, they were finally going to war!
After killing the pirate king Ashrod, Søren would completely dominate the south coast.
As long as one was not an idiot, one could see that Søren's focus was on the outer islands. In other words, if the pirate king Ashrod was defeated, the eastern sea route would need a pirate leader to manage it. Whether it was the half-elf first mate, the red-haired female pirate Adele Isabella, or other pirate leaders, they all thought that they also had a chance to compete for the leadership of the eastern sea route. If they could be entrusted with the important task of managing the eastern sea route by Søren, it would be a position that was second only to one person!
"Mr. Kim!"
Near the port, a young woman in a cloak said, "Is that Throat Cutter really planning to go to war with Ashrod? Ashrod has the support of the Naga royal family behind him, and recently I heard that he has hooked up with the vicious Duke Of Red Dragon's wife. A legendary Dragon Disciple is not easy to deal with, and he may not have much chance of winning! "
Kim had a playful smile on his face, and slowly said, "Isn't that good?"
"Pirate King Ashrod is openly provoking him. He can't back down now! If he did not counterattack in such a situation, the Throat Cutter's status and reputation would suffer a heavy blow! However, even with the support of the Sea Temple, his chances of winning are not very high. If he loses, we can take the opportunity to make more demands! "
The young woman's expression seemed a little strange. She said slowly, "What if he loses?"
Priest Jin glanced at him. His lips did not move, but his voice could be heard. "Then this place should have a new owner!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The teachings of the Lady of Wealth were completely egoistic, which was why they were in the neutral camp, and more often than not, they were inclined towards evil.
…
Mordor City.
Søren's mansion.
Gloria appeared in Søren's room, wearing a black robe. She said with a serious expression, "Are we going to fight? The Duke Of Red Dragon's wife is not easy to deal with! "
Søren nodded. "Yes. I know. "
"But the current situation is already difficult to back down. I have risen in the sea for too short a time. Because I defeated the Swamp King head-on, it deterred others and made the other forces near the south coast not dare to act rashly. But if such a thing happens and I don't do anything, then others may take the opportunity to bite back. They will think that I am not strong enough. At that time, not only the Pirate King Ashrod, but I am afraid that the Storm Lord of the Amazon, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance on the south coast, and even the Sea Temple may bite back! "
Søren's sense of smell had always been very sharp.
When he heard the news of the fall of Snake Island, he had already realized that this war was inevitable!
Even if it was now the season for farming in Mordor City, the shadow plane needed to be explored slowly, and the nearby indigenous people needed to be cleaned up. But in fact, he did not have so much time. If he did not start a war, it would be a serious blow to the morale of his men. At that time, his men in Port Tylon and Shipwreck Bay might be disloyal.
After all, the time of Søren's rise was too short!
His prestige had been accumulated through numerous victories and cruel massacres. He absolutely could not allow the enemy to stand above him and provoke him.
"That's good."
With Gloria's wisdom, she understood after a little thought. She nodded gently and said, "I'll go with you!"
"No." Søren shook his head at this time and said, "You must stay in Mordor City. At this time, I don't trust others to stay in the base camp. Only with you here can I fight with peace of mind! "
Gloria could not help but look at Søren worriedly and whispered, "But I'm afraid you don't have much chance of winning against the Duke Of Red Dragon's wife! Not to mention the Naga Siren royal family behind the Pirate King Ashrod. "
Søren was silent for a moment, then said, "The Sea Temple will definitely make a move. The gap between the two sides is not big."
Gloria shook her head gently and said, "In this case, the Sea Temple may not go all out. Otherwise, Snake Island would not fall so easily."
There was a short silence.
Just when Søren was about to speak, Vivian's voice suddenly came from outside the door. She seemed to be eager to try, "Brother! There's still me! Leave that bullshit Duke Of Red Dragon's wife to me! "
The little girl was wearing a black princess dress.
Her expression seemed to be a little excited. Her cute little face was full of the desire to fight, as if she had been holding it in.
"There's more!"
Vivian had a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of her mouth. She stretched out her little hand and grabbed the cat girl next to her, and said in a crisp voice, "And Lulu is also very powerful! She can fight three by herself! … No! At least five! … No! … Maybe ten of them! … "
The poor cat girl was held by Vivian by the corner of her clothes. She was as obedient as a puppy. When she saw Vivian's gaze turned to her, she quickly nodded desperately and said, "Meow! … Lulu … is very powerful! … Want … Want to fight ten! … Meow! … "
The little cat girl stretched out her claws.
She felt that one claw was not enough to count to ten, so she quickly stretched out the other claw.
Beastmen had the ability to transform. In the battle state, part of the body's characteristics may change from human to beast characteristics. Lulu had extraordinary agility at such a young age, so her bloodline must be more unusual.
"Vivian?"
Gloria fell into deep thought, then looked up and said, "The odds of winning are not very high! I have to set up a magic circle on your warship so that I can use it as a teleportation beacon. I can support you at any time when necessary! "
Søren did not refuse. After all, a legendary Dragon Disciple was really not easy to deal with. He nodded gently.
But at this moment!
Suddenly, Gloria raised her head, looked around, and said coldly, "Who is it!? Who is it!!! "
"Please come out and meet me!"
Søren clenched his curved sword in an instant, and his whole body was tense, ready to fight. Vivian also narrowed her eyes and carefully looked around. Only LuLu did not move, and she still looked silly. Søren's perception was definitely not worse than Gloria's. LuLu, as a Beastman, should have the strongest intuition, but even she did not have any reaction. The most likely possibility was that the visitor was not in the current space. Only the nature of the plane close to Søren could not detect it.
As a northern witch with prophecy, Gloria could detect it.
"Daughter."
A magnetic voice full of charm sounded, and then a figure covered in a black robe appeared outside the door.
She raised her head and looked at Gloria in front of her, then turned her eyes to Søren next to her and said slowly, "Long time no see! It seems that you are about to become a legendary! Sure enough, your vision is always better than mine! "
Gloria's mother!?
Corinne?
Søren was a little stunned when he saw her, but he did not relax at all.
When Gloria saw her mother, she could not help but frown, and then her face changed greatly, "Mother! You!!! "
"Yes." The fallen northern witch nodded gently, and her expression was unprecedentedly calm, and said slowly, "I have fallen. I made a deal with a powerful existence in the lower plane. "
The aura of a demon.
Søren's perception was quite sharp. When he heard this sentence, he immediately noticed a trace of a demon's aura.
Gloria's expression was serious, and she said slowly, "What are you doing here?"
The fallen northern witch got up and walked into the room. After seeing Vivian next to her, she was a little surprised, but then she said calmly, "To help you. The news of you coming to the south coast spread widely, and I guessed that you were here. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. If you want to deal with Ashrod, I can help you! "
Gloria's expression did not relax at all. Instead, there was a kind of sadness from the bottom of her heart, and she sighed, "What do you want?"
In the end, her mother fell.
Although she foresaw some fragments of the future, she did not expect that she would actually make a deal with a demon.
Fortunately, it was not a demon.
Otherwise, her soul might be in the contents of the deal!
"It's him!"
Gloria's mother looked up at Søren, and then did something that even Søren did not expect. She bowed slightly to express her respect, and then said, "Your Excellency Throat Cutter! Please forgive my ignorance and shortsightedness in the past. In the past, pride, regret, and jealousy blinded my heart. "
Unimaginable!
Not only was Søren shocked, but even Gloria was in disbelief.
Was this really her mother?
That arrogant and mean woman! Why did she have a completely different feeling after she fell? It was as if her soul was sublimated!
In Gloria's memory, she had never seen her mother apologize.
Not to mention in such a humble manner, recounting her mistakes in the past, and at the same time, her expression was so calm.
Gloria took a deep breath.
The change in front of her seemed to be unexpected, and she said in a deep voice, "Mother! What do you want? I don't believe that you would come here for no reason! "
Gloria's mother looked at Søren again, and slowly said, "Him."
"The man outside of fate."
"The man who stood up when the Goddess of Fortune flipped the coin of fate! When I first met him, he was still an unknown thief. But now, he's the ruler of the South Coast, and he's on the verge of becoming a legend. I have enough reason to believe that he is the man outside of fate, and only he can change my fate. "
"I don't have too many requests, I just want him to change my fate when I am bound to fail."
"In return."
"I'm willing to give him anything he wants!"
Gloria's mother turned her eyes to her daughter, and seemed to notice the distrust on her daughter's face. Because she was a fallen one, a witch who made a deal with demons, even her own daughter didn't believe her words. This discovery made Corinna show a wry smile on her face, and she slowly said, "In the past, I was confused by pride and prejudice."
"After leaving the north, I went to a lot of places, and finally I figured out one thing."
"That is, I am willing to give up something for what I pursue. Finally, I found the answer in the desert, and I have devoted all my efforts to it. I lost my husband, and I am about to lose my only daughter."
"I've spent my entire life on it."
"For it, I changed from a noble witch in the north to an exile, an exile, and a fallen one. I will never give it up, so I am willing to give up everything for it! … "
"I gave up pride, remorse, harshness, dignity, body, soul …"
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Søren didn't know what the fallen northern witch in front of him was referring to, and why she was willing to give up everything.
But now the woman in front of him gave him a shock!
A shock that was hard to describe with words!
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of himself when he walked barefoot for thousands of miles in the north. That moment of enlightenment and perseverance were so vivid in his memory. For Vivian, he was willing to give up everything.
There was something about the fallen northern witch in front of him that reminded him of deja vu!
"Mother! … "
Gloria's face showed a trace of sadness, and she murmured, "You! … "
Corinna's expression was very calm. Even though she said such shocking words, she still looked quite calm, as if she was talking about something unimportant. She slowly said, "I am still me, but I was blinded by my soul in the past, and now I finally see through all the fog!"
"Your Excellency Throat Cutter."
"My only request is that you can change my fate one day in the future."
"In return."
"I'm willing to give you everything. I can give you what my daughter can give you! … "
Fallen Witch was still so calm.
That was real calmness, not a disguise of acting ability. She seemed to have found something in her heart, so her words touched people's hearts like the truth, and made people feel that she was real.
This kind of reality was terrible!
It was also respectable.
At this moment, Søren's perception of her changed completely, because he found that the woman in front of him was the same kind of person as him.
It was just that they pursued different things.
Søren was doing it for Vivian, and she was doing it for something else.
Gloria turned her eyes to Søren beside her. Her expression at this moment was quite complicated, with sadness, anger, sadness, and many other emotions that could not be expressed in words.
Because the one standing in front of her was her mother!
But now her biological mother had become a Fallen Witch who made a deal with the devil, and her soul might not even be in her hands!
Trust.
It was not as easy as imagined.
Søren fell into silence. He looked at the Fallen Witch in front of him with a serious expression and said slowly, "Which Demon Lord did you make a deal with?"
Silence.
Fallen Witch was silent.
Her expression was difficult and bitter, and then she slowly took off her clothes, revealing her white and delicate skin that was like milk. There was a very strange tattoo on her chest near her ribs, which looked more like a birthmark. It was a red lip that was pierced by an iron wire. The red lip was so seductive, as if it was full of shocking beauty, and some kind of power that tempted people to fall into the deepest darkness.
Søren's expression was ashen.
Gloria's expression was quite ugly in an instant!
She glared angrily at her mother and roared, "Demon! Demon! Girl! King! … "
"You're crazy!"
"Do you know what the consequences of making a deal with her are? You idiot!!! … "
Søren had never seen Gloria so angry.
She was always so elegant and moving, but at this moment, she was completely different!
Her anger.
Her sorrow.
It even affected Søren who was next to her, making him feel how disappointed Gloria was at this moment.
Fallen Witch slowly pulled up her clothes. Even at this moment, her expression was very calm, and she slowly said, "I know. But only the Succubus Queen can give me what I want! … "
"I'm destined to be the loser of fate."
"So, why don't I bet all my chips? Daughter! You're better than me! … But there are some things you'll never understand! … "
The Succubus Queen.
Søren's expression was complicated, as if he didn't know what to say.
He recognized the emblem of the Succubus Queen. It was a red lip pierced by an iron wire, a very special and shocking emblem.
It was just like this troublesome Demon Lord!
Anyone who made a deal with her would not have the slightest advantage, and in the end, they would be eaten alive. She was one of the Demon Lords that Søren was most afraid of.
The Fallen Witch in front of him actually had her emblem on her body. God knows what she put in the deal!
After all, the Demon Lord of the Abyss was the most evil and depraved existence.
