NOVEL NEXT Chapter 233 The Path to Kingship_2
In the rumors among pirates, the Black Death Doctor is a researcher even more terrifying than the original Flower Witch, holding in his hands potions filled with the plague's poison. Merely a single potion is enough to spread the plague and destroy an entire city. Experience more content on empire
The Black Death Doctor once said that he would make the Flower Witch understand what a true potion is.
Under his command are the special operations team known as 'Black Death,' the 'Filth' fleet, the 'Great Sea Monster Fleet' responsible for exploration, along with a substantial number of researchers from the Black Whale Group.
And to the right of Whale Father sat a person wearing a conical hat, holding an oar in hand.
He is the ferryman who brought us here, he is the rumored Nether River ferryman... thought Little Crow to himself.
In the rumors among pirates, the ferryman of the Lamp Void bearing the power to traverse cracks and transport people to other worlds.
However, information about this great pirate is sparse.
In the rumors, all the large ships of the Black Whale Group could be commanded by this ferryman!
Including the ferryman, there are a total of four great pirates from the Black Whale Group present at this location!
Fear... Little Crow shivered uncontrollably, feeling weak and helpless.
Only three of the seven great pirates of the Black Whale Group were missing.
These are the missing Hammer Phase gun master Carol, the Drowned of the Ice Void, and the Book Phase legend, Great Mage Watching Report General, active in the White Tower Federation's waters.
Suddenly, Little Crow's eyes widened as he looked toward the person seated on the throne.
On a throne constructed of ebony, trophies, and the bones of sea beasts, sat a towering figure.
Whale Father, the Pirate King, a name alone that is enough to make the Witch Sea shiver, his face covered with scars, barely recognizable, and his skin, sculpted by years of sea winds and scorching sun, turned to a bronze hue.
On that skin, there are also twelve dark red stone scars, the legend goes, these are proofs of Whale Father's hunting of the Deep Sea Titan's Twelve Touches and ultimately slaying the adversary.
Little Crow took a deep breath.
Unlike the other four great pirates, Whale Father's spiritual power field was extraordinarily faint; his spiritual perception couldn't sense Whale Father's spiritual power field at all!
Whale Father was indeed robust and burly, but compared to various monsters of the Cup Phase, his stature could only be considered a cut above the average human.
Yet, even so, in Little Crow's eyes, Whale Father still appeared so immense, so vast that it exceeded human perception.
Lions, elephants, even dragons couldn't describe Whale Father at this moment.
If one had to say, it was like a whale, a great whale that stood unyielding in the storm.
Even though he had not made a move in over twenty years, Whale Father remained the lighthouse in the hearts of countless pirates, the undisputed King of Pirates!
Whale Father supported his face with his hand and with a deep and powerful voice, said:
"My children, I have gathered you all here to announce two matters."
Little Crow blinked; unexpectedly, Whale Father's voice was strong yet surprisingly calm, like that of a kindly old man.
Whale Father clenched his fist:
"First, the waves of the great whale have struck from the border, and along with the celestial phenomena, darkness will also descend upon our night."
"But remember, peril signifies rebirth! B-rank, A-rank, as well as the Land of Trial for witches, and countless relics are being revealed in the wake of the waves!"
"In the past, our paths to ascension were firmly blocked by those nobles."
"But now the B-rank cracks that those nobles sealed off, those who hindered our ascent to legend, to become saints, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the gods, will no longer be able to stop our advance."
"My friends, beneath the tide and upon this vast sea, a path to kingship is opening up to us."
Whale Father's voice was unusually serene, yet it made everyone's heart stir.
A path to kingship... Little Crow couldn't describe his feelings at that moment.
The Descent of Smiling Moon, the intensifying waves, the upgrade of the cracks, have already ceased to be a secret in the current sea territories.
The rewards of the B-rank cracks implied the production of Legendary profession cards, and the emergence of the Lands of Trial for witches confirmed this point!
After the Crack Tide, the number of Third-tier Transcendents in the Crack Sea kept increasing!
And now, legend, the ultimate goal once coveted by countless Hunters, appeared on the path of many.
Whale Father continued:
"The second matter, the lost relics,
Upon this vast sea, there once were countless relics, numerous paths to sainthood, but to maintain her absolute power, the Ice Witch sealed these relics firmly away."
"In the legends, the path to godhood bestowed upon us mortals by the Sea Goddess was also tightly sealed by the Ice Witch and carried into her coffin."
"And now, her student has reappeared, attempting to wield the knowledge, to enjoy those powers that were sealed away, it is unquestionable that the knowledge she holds is sufficient for our Black Whale Group to possess power that can stand equal with the gods!"
The path to godhood granted by the Sea Goddess... Little Crow blinked, just like the other pirates, extremely puzzled.
Was the Ice Witch obstructing their empowerment?
To become gods?
Little Crow's heart pounded more fiercely.
Whale Father went on to say:
"And the Gunfire King of our Crack Sea," the speaker began, "also fell in the Crack Sea, unfortunately, because of his arrogance."
But you seated here should know that Carol's power is just a small part of our Black Whale Group.
Starting today, the Black Whale Group will no longer hold back. My children, let them see our power, go forth upon the seas, ignite a war, and plunder all the treasures of the fissures!"
"And for this battle, my children, go forth, receive your rewards and missions from your superiors."
Having said all this calmly, Whale Father waved his hand.
With a wave of his hand, the four great pirates beneath the staircase sprang into action. They took out their backpack cards, and then violently spilled forth countless dazzling treasures.
A vast amount of Gold Coins, treasures, Skill Cards, relics, weapons continued to roll down the grand staircase!
The accumulated wealth of the Black Whale Group could form a mountain of Gold!
The blinding golden radiance instantly filled the base.
"Hoorah! Thank you, Whale Father!"
"Whale Father! We adore you!"
"Don't you dare snatch my Floral Appearance weapon! Anyone who tries, I'll chop off his hand!"
The overwhelming calls resounded through these seas.
Superiors, rewards, missions... Little Crow stared at the countless dazzling treasures in shock.
As the ship's doctor under the Black-eyed Captain, Little Crow had hardly ever taken part in such a feast of dividing treasures.
She stared blankly at these treasures; among the bounty thrown out by the Blood Hunter, there were not only weapons of the Deep Sea Hunter but even Legendary profession cards of the Fourth Rank!
All of the Blood Hunter's possessions were rare treasures coveted by legends!
The foundation of the Black Whale Group...
In Little Crow's heart, although the Black Whale Group was strong, it was definitely not a match for the navy with the support of the royal city.
The reason for their failure was due to internal problems within the navy.
Also, the navy's funds and Transcendent resources were greater than those of the Black Whale Group.
But now, the foundation of the Black Whale Group's Transcendents was in no way inferior to the navy's.
No, to be precise, it thoroughly outclassed the navy!
Is this, this, this the prospect of the Black Whale Group?
Little Crow swallowed hard, and at that moment, her heart fluttered with excitement.
However, these matters had nothing to do with her.
According to the orders of Whale Father, their rewards were to be issued by their respective superiors.
Her direct superior was originally Carol, but now with Carol having disappeared, their Mermaid's Call was unlikely to receive much reward.
Siren by Little Crow's side was also at a loss.
And the next second, Blood Hunter approached them:
"Doctor Crow, Siren..."
Cold sweat broke out on Little Crow and Siren immediately, and they braced themselves to say:
"Lord Blood Hunter, what is it?"
Blood Hunter turned over his hand, revealing a dark Occupation Card.
"Little Crow, you, captain."
"And Siren, you, first mate."
"Your squadron is charged with capturing the Black Hunter."
Little Crow nodded instinctively.
Siren asked:
"The Black Hunter, why not the Flower Witch?"
Siren didn't understand why Blood Hunter didn't order them to capture the Flower Witch.
Blood Hunter paused for a moment before saying calmly:
"At the current stage, the Witch is not important, even if she becomes Fourth Rank, she cannot defy us."
"As for the Black Hunter, he can wield the Residual Fire Touch of the Deep Sea Hunter. In this sea, there's no one below the Fourth Rank who could bear that equipment."
"This means he has the talent, the talent to become the hand of our Black Whale Group..."
Talent? The hand of the Black Whale Group? Little Crow and Siren were dumbfounded.
Blood Hunter revealed the dark red card in his hand:
"Don't concern yourselves with that; whoever of you captures the Black Hunter, this Witch profession card will be yours."
