Heimsarah's thoughts were very vague, not clear at all, and could not form a very complete speech. It was like a person with an expression disorder, speaking vaguely and stuttering. Every word it said, Sui Xiong had to spend a lot of effort to understand its meaning.
This legendary sea monster seemed to have not met a powerful existence that could communicate with it for a long time, so it said a lot in one breath. It was a mess and long-winded, just like an old man with Alzheimer's disease.
It was definitely not a pleasant thing to communicate with it, but Sui Xiong still patiently chatted with it slowly. At his suggestion, Heimsarah retracted his power, and the sea, which had been howling and covered with dark clouds, suddenly became calm again, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
The captain was overjoyed and hurriedly directed the sailors to raise the sails. He used a scroll of the wind-making spell to create a strong sea breeze, pushing the sailboat to move quickly, and left Hell Bay as if it was running for its life.
Oh, it was not "running for its life", it was actually running for its life …
Under the calm sea, Sui Xiong and Heimsarah had been chatting. Most of the time, Heimsarah was talking, and Sui Xiong was only responsible for listening and asking.
It was not easy to meet an existence that could communicate with it as an equal, so Heimsarah was very talkative and talked non-stop. And it did not have any sense of confidentiality, so it answered whatever Sui Xiong asked. It said everything it knew.
When Sui Xiong asked why it was here, it suddenly became excited and yelled for a long time before it finally calmed down and told Sui Xiong the reason.
Not long ago, Heimsarah felt the breath of its old enemy, Timsar. It followed this breath slowly and passed by here. According to its senses, the breath was still ahead.
Sui Xiong immediately thought of the shipwreck that had happened in the Great Wild Horn, and could not help but secretly guess … Was Timsar still in the Great Wild Horn? Or even if it had left, it had not gone far?
But there was one thing he was curious about. Both Heimsarah and Timsar were the remains of Sarament, the Living Tsunami. They should be brothers, but why did Heimsarah call Timsar an "old enemy"?
So he asked this question, and Heimsarah answered: After they split from the remains of Sarament, they equally divided the remaining divinity and divine power of Sarament, who failed to become a god. Their nature told them that as long as they killed each other and devoured the other's divinity and divine power, they would be able to improve their life essence. Even if they could not reach the point where they could try to become a god again, they could at least become the best among the demigods.
More importantly, because both sides had equally divided the power of "storm", "tsunami", and other powers, their powers were incomplete. This was the reason why Heimsarah was a little slow and demented. If it wanted to heal itself and obtain complete rationality and clear thinking, it had to kill Timsar and recover all of its power.
Of course, the most important reason was very simple — it hated Timsar, and Timsar probably felt the same way.
"Why do I feel that the key point is completely reversed …" Sui Xiong complained silently. He accompanied his new friend to gallop in the sea, following its senses all the way.
Of course, he did not forget to send a message to Ray, telling his loyal knight not to worry.
Heimsarah's power was stronger than Timsar's, but its movement was relatively slow, so even if it sensed Timsar's breath, it could not catch up with it and could only chase after it in vain. But with the help of Sui Xiong, the situation was completely different. Even if Sui Xiong was only a doppelganger here, and its combat power was far from that of the real body, which was constantly accumulating power in the northwest sky of the mainland, it was enough to help it speed up.
With the help of Sui Xiong, Heimsarah converged its huge power, and its whole body turned into a roaring tornado on the sea, swimming all the way to the Great Wild Horn at a moderate speed.
To be honest, its speed was still not fast. In Sui Xiong's view, it was no different from a turtle's crawl. But Heimsarah was very satisfied with this speed — it had never been at such a high speed in its life, and it could guarantee that Timsar absolutely could not have such a speed!
As long as it maintained the current speed and followed the natural senses between them, it would not take long to catch up with Timsar and completely destroy the guy who had been entangled with it for countless years!
The days of sailing on the sea always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. The ship that Ray and the others took successfully arrived at the Kingdom of the Blue Moon. After a short rest, they found a ship to Gars City. Although it was a cargo ship, and the accommodation conditions were definitely not good, it was not a big deal for the people who were busy searching for clues.
After another absolutely unpleasant journey, they finally arrived at their destination and got off the ship in Gars City.
The name of Gars City came from the local specialty "fragrant leaves." It was an important food spice, which only multiplied in large quantities around Gars City. They were excellent seasonings for meals. Although some variants were not suitable for eating, they could be used as cosmetic spices. Fragrant leaves were the city's most important source of income, and it was also the origin of the city's name — "Gars" was the pronunciation of "fragrant leaves" in the local dialect.
It was said that the local specialty fragrant leaves were reproduced after the leaves on the divine tree of the God of Forest, the Goddess of Harvest, the Goddess of Ocean, the Goddess of Moon, and the Goddess of Marsh (many sects claimed that fragrant leaves were the masterpiece of their own sects' goddesses, and many sects' different holy canons had similar contents). Although it was not known why the leaves fell on the ground would become white and lovely flowers and plants, the wonderful thing was that fragrant leaves could indeed only flourish in Gars City and its surrounding areas. Even if they were barely planted in other places, the yield and quality would be greatly reduced.
The first person to start the fragrant leaves business here was a viscount named Wright. Later, the family did not know why it declined, and the business was seized by the rising Riley Family. After seizing the main share of the fragrant leaves business, the Riley Family put the focus of the trade on shipping, and gradually built and expanded the original shallow water port. After almost ten generations of effort, it was finally built into an important port city on the east coast of the continent.
In the early spring of every year, when the best edible fragrant leaves were harvested after a whole winter, various sects would jointly hold a grand mining ceremony. There would not only be wonderful performances at the ceremony, but the clergymen would also pray for the grace of God, so that the rain of grace that could heal the pain would fall. So at the end of every winter, there would be a lot of people coming here from all over the world. Some came to watch the fun, but more just wanted to bask in the glory.
Vanilla, shipbuilding, shipping, commerce, and tourism, the economic composition of this city was quite complex, and any one of them was very profitable. And of all the profits, at least 30% fell into the hands of the Riley Family, which made them the real controller of this city.
The Riley Family believed in the Goddess of Harvest for generations, and was the biggest force in this city. They not only had secular forces, but also had a great influence in the divine realm — the chief priest of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest had been held by the Riley Family for generations, which showed the Goddess' care for them.
There were three ports in Gars City, of which the "Riley Port" was, of course, owned by the Riley Family, and the other two, the "Vanilla Port" and the "Rich Port", were jointly controlled by various organizations. When Ray and the others got off the ship, it was on the shore of the Rich Port.
Although they were anxious to find clues about the shipwreck, of course, they would not stupidly go straight to the governor's mansion. Instead, they first found a hotel to settle down, and then separately went to inquire about the news.
Ray habitually found a well-informed person, and this time he said that he wanted to inquire about the situation of the main forces in this city, as well as those who were worth paying attention to and powerful people who should not be provoked.
This kind of thing was very common. If an experienced adventurer planned to develop in a place for a long time, he would certainly carefully inquire about these situations. So the person who sold the information did not care, and after asking a few questions, he gave him a thick document — of course, he also received a considerable intelligence fee.
Ray spent some time to carefully read the information, and could not help but have a bad impression of this city. The surface of this city was splendid, but all kinds of evil and conspiracies emerged endlessly. It was really a city of gold and jade, but inside it, there were more than ten churches of evil gods with relatively solid signs of activities, and there were even many madmen who worshiped demons, were keen to create disasters and terror, and had the ultimate goal of destroying the world.
Of course, what he was most concerned about was the situation of the Riley Family, the governor of the city. According to the information, the current governor, Joseph Riley, was a super strong man who had already stepped into the legendary realm. He was nearly 60 years old, and both his physical and mental strength were at their peak. He controlled the most wealth in this city, the most powerful organization, and he was undoubtedly the strongest man. His status was as solid as a rock, so that no one dared to have any bad ideas about him.
He had three children, and his eldest daughter, Heli, was 32 years old. She was in the prime of her life, and became the chief priest of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, but she was not married. She was smart and conceited, and her means were very tough. She was almost vengeful.
The second son, Sean, was 26 years old. He was married and had two children. This young master Sean was modest, gentle, and easy to get along with. His strength was also very good, and he was an excellent swordsman. But the information specifically emphasized that young master Sean was definitely not as simple as he looked. Anyone who wanted to provoke him should prepare a grave for himself first.
Joseph's youngest child was called Kasali, who was only 14 years old this year. She was born to his second wife after his first wife died. The girl was beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and had a rather pure personality. Perhaps it was because people loved the youngest children, but the mayor had sent an entire team of guards to protect her from any possible danger.
Joseph had been married twice. His first wife was a powerful adventurer, who went on adventures with him. After marriage, she was not willing to retire, and eventually died in an adventure. Later on, he married the daughter of the mayor of another commercial city. She was an ordinary noblewoman who was only 33 years old this year. She doted on her daughter and loved drama and poetry. She was also a somewhat famous dramatist and had once edited an opera.
In addition, the Riley Family, after so many generations of operation and development for so many years, had many branches, among which outstanding people were constantly emerging. At least one-third of the space in that information was occupied by the various branches and organizations of the Riley Family, which made Ray secretly shocked.
It seemed that it was really not easy to interrogate Sean Riley, who was likely to be the future successor of their family, in this city that belonged to the Riley Family, and force clues about the shipwreck!
