Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

"I didn't expect you to contact me. Father."

After the communication circle, Albert said the word father very seriously, and his tone was obviously disrespectful.

The pirate king said calmly: "Why are you looking for me at this time?"

"Next, answer my questions seriously, now is not the time to argue."

Priest Glo could feel the rejection and disrespect, but this was not the time to spend hours arguing with each other about their relationship.

The situation is urgent. Now that a decision has been made, the old man doesn't want to talk nonsense. He said solemnly: "After getting the fragments of the Soul of Source Water, are you still around the Sea of ​​Joy?"

If Ammon were here, he would surely suddenly realize it.

Three months ago, the Temple of Sunset City was attacked by pirates. At that time, the chief priest Glo was leading more than half of the clergy of the entire temple to the suburbs to condolences to the many farmers who had lost their harvests due to abnormal weather. The temple guardians who stayed behind had almost no chance. Unable to fight back, the ferocious and well-prepared pirates took away a piece of 'Source Water Soul Fragment' kept in the secret vault of the temple.

Although the pirates broke into the temple due to the punishment of the Lord of Judgment, they did not cause any casualties. However, the pirates were too well prepared both in terms of timing and preparation. After receiving the report, the Central Temple felt that there must be something hidden behind it. If there were no internal support from the temple among the pirates, the other party would never be able to do it so smoothly and perfectly.

Amon is the person sent by the Central Temple to investigate the situation. He has indeed determined that there is an insider inside the temple and is very familiar with the secret vault. However, the matter has reached a deadlock here - there are seven people who know the temple's secret vault. Each of them has a deep background and is extremely difficult to investigate.

After all, Xingguang City is the largest city in the Far East of the Holy Fire Continent. It is an area directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Temple. The leader of the temple, Archpriest Glo, lives a simple life and is respected by others. Not to mention that he has managed this place for more than fifty years. His authority, which is only the peak of his chosen one, second only to the strength of the Gods and Blessers, allows him to arbitrarily decide all matters in the local temple. Although he is very peaceful towards Ammon, he has also shown great concern for this matter. He felt guilty, but he refused to let go, believing that all the priests under him were 'incomparably loyal to the Lord'.

Unable to find a breakthrough, he could only kill time. However, before Ammon could find the next clue and continue the investigation, he encountered the incident of the Lord of Judgment descending and temporarily suspended his action.

But now, the communication between Glo and Alber has truly proved that the insider in the temple of Twilight City is actually the person in charge of the entire temple. This person has served in Twilight City for more than fifty years. Old officiant!

Not to mention, Alber, one of the kings of the seven seas, actually called him father, which was beyond everyone's expectations! You must know that both of Glo's sons passed away in the past few years, and his grandchildren are now studying in the central church. No one knows that he actually has a third son, and he is also a pirate king.

But no matter how unbelievable it is, it is the fact.

At this time, Albert felt Glo's solemn attitude, and immediately he frowned slightly and became serious.

Although he did not have much respect for this 'father' and had a bad attitude, Alber knew very well that the conflicts between him and Glo were just some boring issues in his youth. He and the other party were driven by interests and interests. Grasshoppers whose bloodlines are intertwined are the strongest partners.

So he said in a low voice: "Indeed. My ritual failed, and now I am still on the edge of the open sea... What happened?"

"Go quickly."

Glo didn't talk nonsense. He said solemnly: "The Lord of Judgment has descended. He descended here and showed miracles in the city - if you are in the sea area of ​​​​the Jumping Sea, you must have seen that scene."

"My lord's divine punishment may not be able to enter the sea, but if my lord knows your existence and plans, then you will definitely die without a burial place... Go quickly! The sooner the better!"

Although his words were harsh, Glo's caring intentions were not false.

There is nothing new in the world’s stories.

Fifty-seven years ago, when Glo, who was just a revelation-level priest, followed his teacher to Sunset City and took up his post, this former maritime economic and trade center between the Holy Fire Continent and the New World had already been transformed by dozens of people. The sudden increase in pirates caused by the "Rebel Incident" years ago caused the country to decline.

At that time, the entire Sea of ​​Joy, and even the offshore waters around Sunset City, were filled with crazy pirates and water bandits. Under their influence, even fishermen could not go out to fish in the open sea, let alone trading ships - the entire Maritime trade in the Holy Fire Continent was completely disrupted and could not function at all. As a result, Xuguang City, which needed a large amount of imported food, fell into a perennial famine. Many residents fled, and the entire city was almost completely abandoned.

Geluo's teacher is a truly good priest and a practical man - while rectifying the security of Xuguang City, he personally leads the people to open up the land outside the city and plant crops, gradually increasing the food self-sufficiency rate of Xuguang City. After coming up, my colleagues who ended the famine also stopped the exodus of people from Xuguang City.

But piracy, and piracy alone, cannot be eradicated at all.

Glo's teacher was not willing to use purely violent methods to fight against pirates - of course, he could not deal with so many pirates at sea, and the religious covenant made it impossible for him, as a priest, to take the lead in attacking unless the Lord of Judgment came down. oracle.

Therefore, he planned to make a trade contract with the pirates through peaceful methods, so that the two parties would at least not violate each other, and maybe he could gradually educate the other party and transform back into a normal fire people.

But pirates don't talk about contracts and ethics. Even if they make an agreement, they never abide by it. On the surface, these pirates agreed to Teacher Glo's conditions, but they broke the contract several times at critical moments, causing a huge headache.

Until Glo's teacher sadly passed away, the problem of pirates and bandits around Twilight City was not solved.

But Glo, who took over the responsibility of his teacher, completely gave up any illusions.

The only ones who can defeat pirates are pirates.

What reason do you have to talk to evil people? The Holy Word of the Lord of Judges says: 'Repay happiness with happiness, and pain with pain' - Since evil people are disturbing the people, then use evil people to eradicate them all!

As a priest, a Fire People restricted by the religious covenant, Glo had no way to personally exterminate the countless villains in the sea, but the religious covenant did not say that priests could not cultivate pirates themselves - so he used the resources of the temple to He secretly cultivated a group of fierce sea people, used violence to fight violence, and wiped out most of the scattered bandits in the sea area around Twilight City.

And Albe was the descendant of Glo and a Sea People woman at that time, that is, an illegitimate son. Naturally, Albe was regarded as the core of Glo's continued control of his pirate team, and he poured a lot of resources into it. , and after growing up, he personally fought with many pirates in the sea.

Unlike his teacher, Glo has his own ambitions. He wanted to control the entire Caper Sea with his own power, and then open up a brand new trade route to the New World.

In this way, he will not only be able to control a large amount of wealth, but he will also be able to leave his name in history, receive rewards from the central church, and in the future, he may even become a God-blessed One!

But how could it be so easy to accept being used as a pawn and fighting tool by his own father?

Like his father, Albert also had his own ambitions - so suddenly one day, Albert suddenly showed the strength of the Chosen One. He completely controlled Glo's pirate group, and then led the team to leave Jumped into the sea and disappeared.

And when Alber returned more than ten years later, he had already stood at the pinnacle of the Chosen Ones, owned a powerful magic ship, and integrated the 'Fragments of the Soul of Source Water', becoming a trouble. King of the sea.

Fragments of the Soul of Source Water - According to legend, as a divine object that originated from the sea, a strange thing derived from the 'Soul of Source Water'.

Its shape is like a transparent crystal sea urchin, containing the radiance of the crystal blue water element. If you swallow it and digest it, you can gain extremely powerful magical abilities.

However, in addition to the extremely unpleasant taste and taste, taking fragments of the Soul of Source Water is also an extremely dangerous thing - it will completely transform a person's body and soul, and it feels like It is to tear the body and soul into pieces inch by inch, then soak them in salt water, and finally sew them into a new shape inch by inch.

If the user cannot survive this painful transformation process, the body and soul of the user will completely collapse and turn into a puddle of real water, and become the nutrient for the source water soul.

Therefore, any pirate who has taken the fragments of the Soul of Source Water is truly strong in terms of will.

After returning, Alber contacted his father again and reached an agreement - Glo would try his best to help Alber collect the fragments of the Soul of Source Water and the various resources he needed, and Alber Ensuring the stability of Twilight City will also provide Glo with some of the overseas wonders he needs.

The relationship between father and son is not good, and both parties are essentially just using each other.

But in the final analysis, the bloodline is here. Glo has not abused Alber and provided resources for Alber's growth. He just did not give his care and love. Therefore, the relationship between the two parties is relatively subtle, but in any case, with Compared with all the coastal cities in the Far East, Sunset City is indeed the most peaceful place. Alber has always listened to Glo's advice and never killed anyone when attacking the temple.

Recently, as for the mysterious plan of all the kings of the seven seas, Glo, as Alber's father, naturally gave his full support and provided almost all conveniences in the temple.

So Alber didn't think that Glo would deceive him in this regard.

Jumping in the open sea, three thousand meters underwater.

In the dark and lightless deep sea, a huge ship with a faint blue magical light all over its body was moving silently underwater, like a glimmer of light in the abyss.

In the captain's control room in the center of the Deep Diver, Alber held a communication array in his hand. The tall pirate sat on his own captain's seat covered with whale skin. His face was majestic, like a stone sculpture, and his long red beard, which was almost the same style as his father's, was tied into long, rough braids.

Listening to Glo's warning, the Pirate King said nothing and fell into deep thought.

"The Lord of Judgment, who has not even spoken an oracle or responded to a prayer for more than three hundred years, let alone a divine descendant, actually descended from a divine being..."

Although he had already guessed, he still couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Damn it, there is no good time to come, but this time!"

Having said that, Alber is actually a little lucky now - after all, he did not foolishly rely on the diving ability of the Deep Diver to investigate the situation, but coerced another group of pirates to investigate the situation.

Otherwise, if the Lord of Judgment finds out, his fate may be to be chopped into ashes by lightning punishment.

"Albert, the ceremony you are about to perform may have been defeated by the Lord of Judgment who came that day - is it possible that the Lord came for that very thing?"

At this time, in the communication circle, Glo's worried voice sounded: "If the Lord has not come, I will naturally support you - after all, if it succeeds, the order of this world may be greatly changed, even if it is for Xi Residents of Light City, I will also support you, not to mention you are my child.”

"But the Lord has come. Albert, my son, you may not obey God or worship God's teachings, but you should fear God's power... Even if you succeed, it will be nothing more than becoming 'another god' , not to mention that you didn’t succeed.”

At this point, the old chief priest let out a long sigh, and said worriedly: "Quit now, leave quickly, maybe you can save your life."

"Old fool, how can you quit now?!"

When he heard these words, Albert couldn't help but look ferocious, but soon he suppressed the anger in his heart and just gritted his teeth and said: "I broke my oath, fled the mainland, and struggled at sea for so many years... The plan has reached this point. It’s reached a point where it’s absolutely impossible for me to quit—whether it’s the fragments of the Source Water Soul in my body or the ritual itself, I can only advance, not retreat!”

"not to mention."

Saying this, Albert's tone became calm, with a hint of fanaticism: "You have never seen the truly vast world - Father, I do not respect you, but the fact is that you have wasted your whole life in the sunset. This small place in the city keeps reincarnating the boring time day after day.”

"But I was lucky enough to see scenery that transcended reincarnation in this world and 'belonged to other worlds' in the sea! It was a splendor beyond this world, and a grandeur that this small world could not understand at all..."

At this time, the pirate king's expression even showed a hint of real awe. He seemed to recall the scenery he saw at that time, saw the power and future displayed by those weirdos, and then strengthened his determination.

"Lord of Fire, Lord of Wind, Lord of Judgment? The Lords are indeed gods. They have established the order of this world. I do not follow religious covenants, but respecting them is not just about their power."

"But in the final analysis, they are just the 'indigenous gods' of our small world! Outside of this world, there are countless powerful existences that are far more powerful than them!"

Alber asserted: "If our plan can succeed, no matter it is the Lord of Fire, the Lord of Wind, or the Lord of Judgment, there will be nothing to worry about - the power we gain will be far greater than them!"

"In the name of 'pioneer', this world is just our stepping stone to the far end, the first step beyond the horizon!"

On the other side of the communication circle, Glo was silent.

He is indeed old and cannot understand what his child is pursuing... It is true that he is not a clergyman who abides by the commandments 100%, but among the clergymen in the entire Far East who have interacted with pirates, there is no one who will not be tainted with a little gray field. ? What he did was not in line with the law, but it could bring real peace to the people.

But even so, he couldn't understand the reason for Alber's fanaticism at this time, and what was the real plan of the King of the Seven Seas... Yes, it was indeed blasphemy that his own child wanted to become a 'god'. , but who can stop it?

After all, since the 'rebellion' a hundred years ago, the church's faith in the Lord is no longer as solid as it used to be...

"Anyway, let's go."

He could only repeat the helpless words like this, and now Glo could only warn: "Leave the Sea of ​​Joy quickly, whether you continue your plan, or listen to me and stop getting involved, leave quickly... …”

"……child?"

..."Albert?!"

At the other end of the communication circle, the Deep Diver is in the middle.

The communication array base plate was placed on the table.

And Alber, who was originally holding him, now appeared on the deck of the Deep Diver.

"what happened?"

The red-haired and red-bearded pirate king was asking his crew at this time. He looked unhappy: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm talking to someone on the phone?"

"But, Captain, something is wrong!"

However, what responded to him was the fearful response of the sailor. The sailor who pressed the emergency alarm notification was now stretching out his hand and pointing to the depths of the dark sea: "Sea beasts! A lot of deep sea beasts are coming towards us!"

"We're surrounded!"

"What?"

Immediately, Alber looked startled—a deep sea beast? Are you kidding me? Even the demonized sea beasts won't be able to wander around at a depth of three thousand meters with nothing to do, and there are so many of them? How could he actually make his crew members, who have experienced hundreds of battles and are used to seeing blood, so frightened?

But soon, the big pirate saw what was called "a lot" of sea beasts.

Under the dim blue light of the Deep Diver, in the deep ocean, dozens of extremely thick tentacles with suction cups can be seen, looming and entangled at the edges of the invisible darkness and visible light.

At the same time, a dozen completely different and leisurely whale songs from different sources came at the same time, causing the deck to vibrate slightly.

In the deep darkness, dozens or hundreds of pairs of bright and cold eyes are staring here from a distance, staring at the Deep Diver, surrounding the entire pirate ship.

"this?!"

For a moment, Alberton, who noticed those gazes and was extremely familiar with those tentacles and whale songs, changed his expression - there is no doubt that those tentacles are the tentacles of one of the extremely dangerous giant beasts in the sea, the 'Sea King Squid'! And those whale songs are the voices of the overlord of the sea, the ‘Sea Demon Whale’!

But aren't these two mortal enemies? Why do they appear at the same time, coexist peacefully, and in such large numbers? !

"Are you Albert?"

And just when the astonished man was puzzled, Alber suddenly heard a voice with a heavy echo.

Then, before he could turn his head and look in the direction of the sound, Alber heard the next sentence.

"I'm very interested in what you just said about the 'pioneer'."

I haven't finished writing yet, there is another update late at night.

Double passes are available at the end of this month – but it’s not the end of the month, friends!
