"Hehehe …"
Hearing Solomon's unfriendly questioning, Elvin smiled embarrassedly. In this matter, he was definitely a pure victim who was implicated.
But how could he explain it?
The goddess "Kulutena" who ruled the sky from the "Golden Kingdom", the "Golden Kingdom" was really filled with gold, and the ultimate secret of this world might be hidden behind the "thirteen compasses".
Also, the human adventurer Jeros had already walked ahead of all the official exploration teams, and the compass in his hand would be his target …
Before he had enough power and could confirm the kingdom's reaction to this news, all related information would be sealed in his heart as the top secret. It would not benefit him at all if he leaked it.
At most, he would fulfill his responsibility as a Guardian Knight and selectively inform the crown prince of some of the information, such as the news that the Great Princess was still alive, so that she could be prepared.
Therefore, after Elvin played dumb for a long time, Solomon could not do anything to him with the blood scabs on his face and the dust on his body.
Moreover, Solomon, who didn't like to cause trouble, only felt depressed. In fact, he didn't really want to know about an unknown god.
"Okay … Then let's talk about the hush money!"
"Hmm? Hush money?! Brother, are you that realistic? "
However, in the end, he reached a deal with the two of them.
Two "Shadow Talismans" that allowed the holder to hide in the shadow that Elvin had just used, plus a bottle of good wine that Elvin had collected.
For the first time, the success rate of the "Shadow Talisman" that Elvin made was not high.
Other than the first one that was eaten by the little lizard, Elvin used up all fifteen of the raw materials in his hand and only made five of them. The success rate was about one-third.
The arrogant Solomon did not care about anything else but this rare thing and the bottle of wine.
In addition, the wine that Elvin thought was just to cater to his fancy was not ordinary either.
It was rumored to be a custom-made rum that was made 20 years ago for Shilius' centennial national day. There were only 200 bottles produced, and each bottle was printed with a unique code and mark.
The rum was obtained by Elvin in the past.
It was said that an empty bottle could be auctioned for more than 200 gold lions in the present day.
In the eyes of Elvin, who did not like wine, of course, compared to the talisman that he made, the bottle of rum was purely a side dish. However, in Solomon's eyes, perhaps the wine was the key.
Therefore, as a military officer of the Tero Kingdom, Solomon easily threw his duties to the back of his mind and made a solemn promise that he would not tell anyone about what happened today.
"The kingdom's upper echelons and the garrison's commander, who were already jittery, would explode if they knew that a demigod had just taken a stroll in their home.
Yep, it wasn't because I accepted a bribe. It was because the stability of the kingdom came first! That's it! "
As for the other innocent victim in this incident, it was probably the real girl from the continent, "Venia", whose origin was unknown.
Some people were gifted with strong spirituality. Although they might not have the aptitude to become a wizard, they were born as "spirit mediums".
Although an untrained Sorcerer was not considered a Transcendent profession, it was easy for such a person to attract the attention of spirits due to their special physique.
However, Miss Venia's luck was especially "good", and she attracted the biggest one in a short time.
He wondered what would happen to the girl's soul after she was possessed by a God.
"After all, she's such a cute girl …"
It was a pity for the girl.
However, Elvin also knew that.
No matter what the outcome was, it was meaningless to use human's narrow vision, moral standards, and behavioral standards to restrict and judge a God.
It was just like how the short-lived species peeped at the magnificence of the immortals from the perspective of life and death, saying that God could not stand loneliness for a long time and concluded that 'immortality is a curse'. Wasn't it too hilarious?
Therefore, Elvin decided that before he had enough power and vision, he would not explore the so-called "ultimate secret of the world".
After he recovered from his uncontrollable state, the adventurer's blood in his body seemed to be waking up from a deep slumber. Elvin felt that … this was the problem that he should be most concerned about at the moment.
.....
Splash! Splash!
It was as if there was another Black Sea hanging above his head, desperately venting its anger. Rain poured down, wind howled, and the height of the towering waves reached a shocking 15 meters.
Roar!
Hiss!
However, such a terrible weather could not cover the continuous roars of giant beasts in the grotto behind the island.
"White Skeleton" Haimmuz, "Tide Herder" Teinkut, and "Octopus Ghost" Huggins, two tall and one short, stood on a high cliff behind the island. They had a panoramic view of the dark grotto and the huge wave below.
Around these three powerful Extraordinaires, the howling wind and rain seemed to be afraid of their power, and avoided them from a few meters away.
Not only were they not attacked by the wind and rain, even the ground where they stood was not wet at all.
Although the Pirate King Huggins was able to summon the wind and rain outside, he could only be considered the last among the three.
Hearing the increasingly urgent roars of the sea monsters, he took out a luxurious gold pocket watch from his bosom and looked at the time. He then spoke respectfully to the tall man in white beside him.
"Lord Haimmuz, it's time. What do you think?"
"Mm!"
Haimmuz raised his head and looked at the huge waves rolling in from afar. He nodded and said, "Such good weather is suitable for welcoming the arrival of the newborn sea monsters. Open the gate!"
He gave the order.
A large group of strange-looking half-human, half-monster members of the Brotherhood worked together to slowly open the thick volcanic rock gate that blocked the entrance of the grotto.
Whoosh —
Turbulent seawater began to pour in toward the hatching grounds of the sea monsters.
However, the sea monsters that were still trapped in the hatching pools in the depths of the grotto were filled with joy. As sea monsters, the instinct that was engraved in the depths of their blood was their yearning for the sea.
It was the same even for these defective products that were rapidly hatched in a few months!
Without waiting for the seawater to fill up, the newly hatched "adult" sea monsters rushed out along the waterway impatiently.
Roar!
Moo!
Hiss!
As the natural rulers of the sea, even if there was a storm on the sea, it was no different from a drizzle to them.
Especially when a total of 87 sea monsters gathered together, their natural Beyonder abilities had been activated instinctively. The pouring rain above their heads was strengthened by another level.
Half of the large-sized species raised their heads and roared, venting their boundless joy of entering the sea.
However, the waves on the surface of the sea were indeed quite large. It made it difficult for the small-sized pseudo-inferior species that barely reached a length of 30 meters. After persevering for a while, they all dived into the water.
"Hmph!"
Seeing their embarrassing behavior, the two presidents of the Deep-sea Brotherhood, Haimmuz and Thein Kut, let out a cold snort at the same time.
However, there was nothing much to say to these creatures that had lower intelligence than low-level wild sea monsters. They were just disposable biological weapons. They did not expect them to return after this mission.
After expressing their dissatisfaction, they let them go.
Haimmuz turned his head and said to the Pirate King of the Black Sea beside him,
"Mr. Huggins, according to the Goddess's prediction, the next Blue Hole will appear 28 days later at 8: 15 a.m. near the Fluorescent Beach on the southern shore of the Eternal White Land.
You can set off now. The Blue Hole there will directly teleport you to the boundary of the distant sea closest to the Kingdom of Tylo. I don't need to say the rest, right? "
As a strange natural phenomenon, the Blue Hole's main ability was random teleportation.
It would manifest as a blue hole with a diameter of several kilometers to dozens of kilometers appearing on the calm sea without any warning. Then, all the seawater, fish, shrimp, algae, and even passing ships in this area would be randomly teleported to another place by a magical power.
Although the Blue Hole was born in this world, its principle was unknown, and it was not controlled by humans.
However, the Mother of Sea Monsters, Ector, who currently controlled part of the Black Sea's authority, could accurately predict the time and place of the Blue Hole's appearance in the Black Sea, as well as where it would lead to!
The Blue Hole, a Beyonder natural disaster that was dangerous and unpredictable to others, was, to a certain extent, just a very convenient means of transportation for the Deep-sea Brotherhood.
What could be faster and more convenient than the Blue Hole to secretly transport as many as eighty-seven giant sea monsters at once for a surprise attack?
If they did not go through the Blue Hole but went through a storm like this, they would not even need to go halfway before a group of Tier Four "Titled Knight" from the human world came to attack them.
If they went through the Blue Hole's surprise attack, by the time the Kingdom Guardian who usually stayed in the capital came to attack them, they would have already completed their mission and fled.
"No problem, Lord Haimmuz! My men and I are already prepared. The plan can start at any time. "
Huggins bowed deeply and lowered his head, trying to hide the ambition in his eyes that was about to burst out. He had been waiting for this moment … for too long!
The tall man in white stared at the back of Huggins' head for a while. Then, he opened his big hand and handed an exquisite conch in his palm to Huggins.
"Don't disappoint the Goddess! Mr. Huggins! "
Huggins stood up and took it carefully.
The surface of the dark green conch in his hand seemed to be covered with a layer of lustrous enamel. The patterns that naturally grew like water ripples also seemed to be some kind of mysterious and unpredictable charm. It flashed with a visible dark green light.
This conch represented the authority to command these eighty-seven sea monsters!
"Don't worry, I will never disappoint the Goddess! Never! "
After bowing again, Huggins turned around and left.
Half an hour later.
"Destination: Fluorescent Beach. Set sail!"
Huggins's flagship, the Eternal Icon, raised its sails and set sail. The ghost ship's bow that was wrapped in chains released a misty light that suppressed the raging waves. Then, it plunged into the storm that was getting more and more violent.
Beep!
The loud sound of the conch pierced through the storm and reached the ears of every fast-growing sea monster nearby.
The surface of the sea instantly surged. Under the surface of the water, nearly a hundred sea monsters joined together to form a huge shadow that stretched for nearly ten kilometers. Wherever they passed, the wind and rain would sway and huge waves would surge.
Their awe-inspiring might was unstoppable!
The Pirate King Huggins of today finally had the true majesty of a king in the Black Sea!
