Kingdom of Ilya, capital of Viana.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of opening up a new sea route in the Southern Continent, Viana had undergone several expansions as the kingdom grew stronger. Other than the civilian area without walls in the outer city, the towering inner city walls and the granite-built palace walls divided the entire city into three distinct worlds.
The world of the civilians, the world of the nobles, and the world of the royal family.
However.
At this moment, a group of important figures who once stood at the top of the kingdom stood on the highest tower in the palace and looked at the civilian area outside the inner city walls. Compared to the feasting and debauchery in a certain large hotel, there was only one color on the faces of this group of people, and that was — defeat.
Creak! Creak!
Among them, Yeron Ilya, who was the crown prince and also the ruler of the kingdom, had the worst expression on his face. Everyone on the entire floor of the tower could hear him clearly.
"Who is the one being extravagant? Who is responsible for the continuous natural disasters during this period? Who is the one lying on the civilians and sucking their blood endlessly? If I can have the power of a Titled Knight, the first thing I will do is kill all these bastards! "
No one responded to his angry words. Words never killed people.
In fact.
Although the news had not spread, those who stood here were deeply tied to the royal family. Even if they surrendered, the royal family would not accept them.
The kingdom's attempt to create a new Kingdom Guardian before the lifespan of the Titled Knight, Raging Tide, was exhausted had been completely declared a failure!
And when the royal family recalled all the loyal and reliable peak Grand Knight, all the forces were used to stabilize the foundation.
In the past few years, the group of business nobles had gradually dominated the entire kingdom from all aspects. They used their economic influence to influence public opinion and shaped themselves, who were essentially usurpers of the kingdom, into the representatives of the citizens' interests. They won the support of a large number of citizens.
Taking advantage of the opposition between the citizens and the ruling class, a dangerous trend had begun to brew. It began to attempt to overthrow the foundation of the kingdom's governance from the grassroots level.
And the target they used to attract the firepower was undoubtedly the royal family and traditional nobles who ignored the suffering of the people and were "extravagant"!
It was not until now that the important figures, who were once high and mighty, realized in horror how terrifying the consequences of allowing business to develop freely in the past few decades or centuries and giving these people who controlled enormous wealth endless freedom were.
This was especially so when they gradually lost the suppression of the Kingdom Protector, and when they wanted to find something to resist against.
Only then did they realize that the foundations of the kingdom in all aspects, such as banking, medical, transportation, communications, military, coal, shipping, and so on, had all fallen into their hands, forming a virtual monopoly in all industries.
After the "tide" receded, we were the ones swimming naked?!
And this group of traditional nobles who were also forced into a corner gradually realized that the demands of these guys were completely different from their political opponents in the past. They wanted to fundamentally subvert the national system and eliminate the entire old ruling class represented by the royal family.
Let the new business class or monopolistic oligarchs, who controlled wealth, jobs, and even people's livelihood, become the true masters of this country, and drive the entire state machinery to protect them in the simplest way to accumulate wealth.
After personally experiencing all of this, they could already foresee that everything that was happening in Ilya might just be a small spark, and behind it might be an era of change that was like a raging prairie fire!
It was just that there was no problem with the peak combat power of the other countries, so everything was temporarily hidden under the surface of the sea.
"I really regret it!"
Under such circumstances, the butcher's knife could fall at any time, but how could they turn the tables? They were at their wits' end.
At the same time.
On the outskirts of the city, a grand banquet was in progress.
The lion had not completely fallen, but a group of hyenas sharpened their knives, ready to divide the rotten meat, had already started to party.
The leaders of the new business nobles, Viscount Zerom and Earl Wright, led by the kingdom's top officials, parliament members, foreign bankers, high-ranking military officers, guild representatives … all gathered together.
The Pirate King of the Black Sea, "Octopus Ghost" Huggins, who had changed into an exquisite black suit like a gentleman, also held a glass of wine and chatted cheerfully with the two "vice kings" and a group of distinguished gentlemen.
At this time, he had even obtained his own seat in the lower house that controlled the entire country, especially the financial power.
Wright, who had a short beard and an unattractive appearance but was extremely imposing, stared at the sparsely lit palace outside the window, and took a sip of the precious wine in his glass.
"The change of royalty is also a part of the Goddess' authority. We have understood the history, and the church has never interfered in this kind of time. However, the Black Iron Cross Church, which should have been abandoned by the times, did not expect that this was a great revolution that they had never experienced before. What we wanted was never royalty.
The ghoul army scattered all over the world has already started to gather, and the royal army loyal to the royal family is unable to withstand a single blow. "
Viscount Zerom, who had a head full of short silver hair and an aura similar to that of an eagle, smiled faintly.
"The great 'God of Ghastly Bones', 'King of Ghouls', 'Cold Monarch' Mordigian had already used his authority two years ago to gradually influence the country's climate and create a drought.
The city still has a trading system that maintains its prosperity, but those bankrupt peasants who can only rely on their land to survive will crazily swarm into the city, viciously smashing the doors of the palace for us, and also sounding the death knell for this rotten dynasty! "
Beside them, the crowd of fans agreed.
"As long as the palace guards dare to slaughter the commoners, our plan will succeed!"
"Furthermore, after losing their arable land, they will still provide our factories with an innumerable amount of cheap labor. As long as we give them food to eat, they will work hard for us. "
"That's right, hahaha …"
The powerful Tier 4 'Lawless' Huggins did not interrupt when he heard their words. He held his wine glass and looked on coldly. In his mind, he once again recalled the words spoken by His Holiness the Pope of the 'Black Wing Cult'.
"A new Divine Profession that can rule the entire world in the future will be born from this land. And it will be ranked above the powerful Authority of [Unjust War], [Atrocity], [Plunder], [Theft], and [Capital]?! "
.....
The night was dark.
In the depths of the Black Sea, the waves were thousands of miles long and sea monsters wreaked havoc. It was a place that all sailors would pale at the mention of. Unless accompanied by a large fleet, no one would dare to travel alone.
However.
Whoosh —
Two figures suddenly appeared on the surface of the Black Sea where even the starlight had been completely absorbed. Although the waves here were rapid, they could still walk on it as if it was flat ground.
After three steps, the two disappeared like ghosts once again.
They did not sail a ship or transform to fly. Elvin, who was wearing a military uniform, and Olivia, who was wearing a rose-colored dress and adorned with jewelry, held hands as they set off from the New Continent to the Old Continent. They crossed the seven time zones between the east and west coasts of the Black Sea.
It was as if they were taking a stroll in the park. One step was the blue waves, the next was the forest, the next was the sea of stars, and the next was the morning glow.
This was the true meaning of changing scenery with each step!
Holding Elvin's hand, the naive girl's eyes were filled with splendor. It was as if the two of them could walk to the end of the world just like this.
After becoming a Superior Sorcerer and obtaining a qualitative change in his spirit, Elvin could move freely with the help of the [Bloodline Plugin] of the Cosmic Dragon. Space was no longer an obstacle for him.
With the aid of his digitized vision, and after half a month of communication, he could move freely wherever the Cosmic Dragon's talent, [Spatial Perception], could reach.
Compared to the [Transposition of the King Chariot] of the Dragonborn leader, Kronippus, it was more than a hundred times stronger. Even the original long-range movement weapon, [Black Cavity], paled in comparison.
Not to mention the most powerful means of transportation for humans to cross the sea, the sailing warships.
For a sailing ship that could only rely on the wind to move, the journey would undoubtedly be extremely long. If they were to return to the New World from the Golden Sea, even if they were to use the Trident Current, it would still take at least two months.
It was simply a waste of life.
Perhaps only with the possession of a "legendary warship" would this situation be fundamentally changed.
Ignoring the harsh sea conditions, turning the entire sea into their own backyard. They could easily hunt down sea monsters that were terrifying in the eyes of others, and set off to wherever they wanted to go at any time. They could freely wander the boundless sea, and nothing could restrain their footsteps!
Even the "Endless Sea", Folcus, was no exception.
Just like that, the two of them walked all the way from Georgia to the distant sea border on the eastern shore of the Black Sea. It was late at night when they set off, but after only half an hour, it was now morning.
A lonely coral island appeared in front of the two of them. There was a small bay on the island, and now that spring had arrived, the vegetation on the island had sprouted green.
"Elvin, is this the place?"
Olivia stood on her tiptoes and widened her eyes, trying to see what was different about this place. Beneath its ordinary appearance was a stone golem!
"That's right, but the layer on the surface is mainly coral reefs. The real 'Mountain Giant' should only be one-third of the size of this island."
Before they left on the "Roaring Conch," he had ordered the marines to completely destroy the exposed man-made structures on the island. The wooden houses built by the "Shark Tooth Pirates" were all burned down. With the rapid growth of the vegetation on the island, it had been restored to the appearance of a deserted island in just a few years.
Pulling Olivia to the island, he could still see the straight gap that ran through half of the island, forming a long canyon.
This was also the main reason why the "Mountain Giant" was paralyzed.
Elvin had once seen its heroic appearance in the images left behind by the "Nagas".
The stone golem was a thousand meters tall even when it bent down. It was as sturdy and heavy as a mountain ridge. The forest was like its clothes, and the green vines on its back were lush and green. Its entire body was wrapped in black vines that were as hard as armor. The seawater could only reach its legs.
"Let me see if I can repair it directly."
Rubbing his hands together, the majestic Magus' Activation Aura quickly seeped into the golem.
* Rumble … *
With a series of loud bangs, the huge sword wound on the gigantic Stone Golem caused by the Church of Dawn's Silver Knight Commander, Yever, began to heal.
This was not the end. As the earth shook, the island beneath their feet slowly rose, about to stand up from the sea. However, before Elvin and Olivia could rejoice, the island sank again.
* Boom! *
A huge wave surged forward. Apart from the sword wound, it was still the deserted island.
Clearly, as the most powerful legacy creation of the school, it was not as simple as it seemed.
"Let's put it away for now. We'll study it when we get back."
It seemed that the damage was severe. Elvin scratched his head and took out an ordinary-looking conch from his pocket.
The edges of the conch were slightly square, large and sturdy. Its white base was covered in brownish-yellow patterns, and its insides were orange-red. It was about seven centimeters long and had a level six conch shell.
The seemingly ordinary [Secret Treasure of the Sea — Hermit Conch] was a treasure that Elvin could attach to his half-completed [Sorcerer's Garden].
As the anchor point of the material world, the [Secret Treasure of the Sea] was the best thing to attach to the [Sorcerer's Garden]. Er, it was also something that Olivia had swept away from her mother, Nympho.
What more could a man ask for when he had a good wife at home? Hehehe …
Effect: This was originally the shell of a sea creature. After obtaining an unknown power, it became the [Secret Treasure of the Sea]. Other than being indestructible, it could also allow a ship to hide inside and avoid danger.
Although this item was very precious to ordinary people, it was nothing to a Magus.
* Whoosh — *
A pale green mist appeared on the surface of the sea and slowly enveloped the entire island. The huge coral island that the Mountain Giant had turned into slowly 'melted' in the mist.
Only a huge whirlpool was left behind, permanently changing the living environment of the sea creatures in this area.
After the island appeared in the [Sorcerer's Garden], it turned into a huge mountain that was even taller than the six-floored city of Posedia. It became the other pole of this space.
With its suppression, this small space that was originally unstable immediately stabilized. This was a pleasant surprise.
After that, all they needed to do was to fill in the various materials step by step and slowly perfect the [Sorcerer's Garden].
However, with his control over the [Sorcerer's Garden].
Elvin soon discovered that the super-large stone golem, the [Mountain Giant], had been severely damaged. The ten treasures that were part of its energy supply system had all been lost.
From now on, he could only slowly master the system knowledge of Grade 3 'Animate the Dead' and repair it bit by bit.
Suddenly.
Olivia reminded him softly, "Don't worry.
"Elvin, I think we have a guest?"
Perhaps because of the huge commotion they had caused, a warship with the flag of the Tulip Family slowly sailed towards them from afar.
