After a while, Sui Xiong unfroze the giant ape in his God's Kingdom and removed the oath of the God of Aristocracy in its body.
"I've solved your worries for you," Sui Xiong said casually. "Now can you tell me what's going on?"
In front of a True God, a powerful True God who was famous far and wide, of course, this Magical Beast did not dare to put on airs. It immediately knelt down like a ferocious tiger and respectfully told him everything it knew.
In fact, there was really nothing much to say. This beast belonged to a not very rare aquatic species called the "Water Ape." Originally living in the deep sea, it lost to a powerful legendary beast in a territorial fight and was seriously injured. In the deep sea, where danger lurked everywhere, this was equivalent to a death sentence. It could only wait for its identity to be verified and then be shot.
Of course, it was not willing to die like this. After careful consideration, it gritted its teeth and braved the danger to come to the shallow sea and live near the Mifata Federation.
The shallow sea was much safer than the deep sea. There were no overly powerful monsters here, and even a seriously injured Water Ape could survive. But the shallow sea also had risks that were completely different from the deep sea. It was close to the sphere of influence of the land races, and the strong people on the land often patrolled the shallow sea to watch out for attacks from the sea.
For example, when Garth City had not yet formed an alliance with the Storm Sea, Leon often patrolled the shallow sea near Garth City from time to time. He would probably patrol the coastline of about a thousand miles. Within this area, once he found a powerful monster in the shallow sea, he would go to the monster or negotiate with the monster not to attack the coastal residents and ships, or persuade it to return to the deep sea in a polite or impolite way. If it really did not want to return, he would simply send it on its way!
This Water Ape was not very lucky. It lived in the shallow sea for less than half a month before it was discovered by a patrolling legendary master. At that time, it had only recovered a little from its injury. Faced with a serious legendary master, it had no power to fight back, so it could only surrender and become a prisoner.
Fortunately, the legendary master was not a cruel devil. After thinking for a while, he signed a contract with it and asked it to go to a gladiatorial arena in a big city as a gold medal gladiator to save money to redeem itself.
Just like that, several years passed.
To be honest, it had been living well for the past few years. Due to its flexible fighting style and intelligent judgment in the face of various schemes and tactics, it had earned the title of "Smart". Seeing that he had saved up enough money, he would be able to redeem himself in half a year's time. Then, he could leisurely return to the deep sea and become a local tyrant again.
But at this time, one of the First Priests of the God of Aristocracy found the boss of the arena. He took out a large sum of money to buy out Ling Ming's remaining working time.
According to the original contract, this transaction had to be approved by Ling Ming himself. However, when faced with the threat of "If you refuse to cooperate, we'll send an Advanced Legendary powerhouse to participate in the battle", Ling Ming really had no other choice. Although it didn't want to take risks and wanted to live out this half a year in peace, it didn't want to die even more!
Under such circumstances, the deal was naturally concluded. Ling Ming had become a full-time hired thug of the Church of the God of Aristocracy. Moreover, he would only be paid if he was dispatched.
This kind of contract was definitely a scam. Ling Ming stayed in the Church of the God of Aristocracy for three to four months and still didn't get a single chance to attack. Not only did it not earn enough money to redeem itself, but it also owed a lot of living expenses. It was so anxious that it scratched its ears and cheeks, not knowing what to do.
Not long ago, it finally got the chance to attack that it had been waiting for. It was the previous First Priest who came forward and let it come to the four towns in the northwest and temporarily accept the command of those big shots who were unwilling to join the Republic of Northwest to fight against Felix.
By right, this wasn't a big deal. But what was strange was that the First Priest actually cast a powerful God's Arrival spell at all costs. With the help of God's power, he made a vow and ordered it not to reveal anything related to its origins.
Ling Ming immediately felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it again and again, it was smart enough to think of a solution to the problem.
Although it wasn't stated in the contract, if one died in battle, they would have to pay a pension. This was a rule followed by any organization. As a Legendary magical beast, the number of pension was naturally shocking, far more than enough to offset the remaining ransom. Then, as long as it was "sacrificed" during this attack, the debt would naturally be paid.
From then on, it could fly as high as a bird in the sky and as wide as a fish in the sea. As long as it didn't stupidly return to the sea near the Mifata Federation and hid in the deep sea of the northwest region, no one could do anything to it!
As for the vow made by the God of Aristocracy … Haha, why think so much about it? Freedom came first!
With this in mind, it went easy on Felix in the battle. Although the fight was fierce, it didn't show its true strength at all — it had to be known that water apes were never known for their ferocity. Compared to those fellows whose muscles grew into their brains, this race was good at using skills and wisdom to win.
Ling Ming went easy on Felix while using magic to protect its internal organs. Very soon, it couldn't "hold on" any longer. Under Felix's crazy bombardment, it swayed and fell to the ground, green smoke rising from its body. It looked like it had been burnt to 80% done.
Seeing this, anyone would feel that they were dead for sure — it thought.
In the end, it didn't manage to fool Felix at all.
But overall, the result was still good.
Sui Xiong released it from the vow. As for the remaining ransom fee in the contract, Sui Xiong said that as long as it was willing to work at the Void Mask Amusement Park, the park could borrow money to pay for it — and there would be no interest.
"Such generous conditions?" Hearing Sui Xiong's words, Ling Ming couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried that I'll run away?"
"Why would you want to run away?" Sui Xiong asked in confusion. "What's wrong with the amusement park?"
Ling Ming was stunned. It didn't expect to get such an answer.
"We eat well and live well here. Life is easy and stress-free, and it's also safe. Fafnir, who was forced to work to pay off his debt because of his troublemaking, later fell in love with life here and said that he wanted to retire here … Do you have any special requirements for life, or do you prefer to live in the sea? "Sui Xiong asked.
Ling Ming thought for a long time and realized that it really didn't have any special requirements.
As a legendary magical beast, it mainly relied on absorbing magic from nature to sustain itself, which was beneficial to its growth. But if there wasn't enough magic in the outside world, there was nothing wrong with eating food.
It didn't have any particular requirements for food. As long as it had enough to eat and sleep well, it was not particularly picky about food. Meat and vegetables were fine, as long as the food was not rotten or smelly. After being a gladiator for so many years, even if it was a gold medal in the arena, its living conditions were not much better. If it could endure that kind of life, why couldn't it work in the amusement park?
It had heard that the Void Mask Amusement Park was the most prosperous, the most fun, and the safest place in the world. If it could live here for a long time, it would be more profitable no matter how it looked at it …
So the matter was settled. The amusement park welcomed a new guard, and Gerrard had one more colleague who would take over his shift.
This guard was eight feet tall, and his waistline was also about eight feet. He had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear, and he was extraordinarily burly. He wore a flexible short-sleeved shirt and always carried a big iron stick that looked very heavy from the outside. But he never lifted his spirits and always dozed off lazily.
Some knowledgeable people did some research and determined that the new guard was not a human. It was obvious just by looking at his appearance. He was not an Orc, nor was he a giant. Instead, he was a rare creature on land called the Water Ape.
As for why the horrifying magical beast, which was supposed to be as big as a hill, had become so small and looked so friendly, everyone thought that perhaps His Majesty, the Void Mask, had recently returned to his hometown and brought this little creature from the sea.
After all … His Majesty Void Mask was a jellyfish, and jellyfish lived in the sea.
"Hey, guard B, do you know a fellow called 'Ling Ming'?" A well-traveled and knowledgeable businessman asked curiously. "A few years ago, in the arena of the Highest Tower, there was also a water ape like that, but it was much more powerful than you. One of its fingers was almost as thick as your arm!"
Ling Ming turned over and faced this guy with his butt.
What kind of look is that! You are totally blind! Do you dare to go out and do business with that look? Don't you want to hang yourself with that look? The world of creatures on land is really peaceful …
However, as His Majesty the Void Mask had said, the amusement park was indeed very peaceful and stable!
Peace is good!
Thinking of this, the legendary magical beast, which had changed into a small size, yawned in the warm sunlight, lazily half-asleep.
It could not really fall asleep during working hours. If it was found out, its salary would be deducted.
But … the sunlight was really warm, and the wind was also very comfortable. The sound of the children in the amusement park seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and it was hazy, like the feeling of waves echoing in the ears …
Ah! So good! So comfortable!
Whir, whir, whir.
At the end of that month, when it saw its salary list, Ling Ming was so depressed that even its ears drooped.
[Name: Ling Ming; Position: Guard; Working Days: 30 days; Working Situation: Sleeping on the job 25 times. This month's bonus and 25 days' salary will be deducted.]
In the end, the salary that fell into its hands was only enough for it to eat a few meals at a cheap food stall.
Eating simple pancakes and barbecued meat, drinking cheap ale, Ling Ming smelled the fragrance of high-end food and wine from the nearby restaurants, and it almost drooled.
"Next month, I will definitely not sleep on the job!" It made up its mind and announced loudly.
Then, the next month, it slept on the job 26 times …
Ling Ming, who lacked biological knowledge, would probably never know that for deep-sea creatures, "it's safe now" most likely meant "it's time to sleep."
This was an instinct that was imprinted in their blood and passed down from generation to generation. It was unimaginable.
