Chapter 223 [Yueyong Clan]’s New Home
The moment this figure appeared.
The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and Xia En seemed to have come to the vast sea, and the world was vast.
In front of you is a huge ship with black sails.
At the bow of this huge ship, which is like a giant sea beast, a tall man with white hair is standing there, lonely but tall, with an aura that seems to fill the world.
It was as if... the entire sea was conquered by him and surrendered to his majesty.
It is the king of the [Pirate Principality] - Augustine Norwich!
But at this time, he was in a very different state from the last time he lost his fighting spirit and was in twilight during the promotion ritual.
Augustine's beard and hair are all white, and he has a big white beard, but his face is very young, maintaining the appearance of being in his prime.
——The appearance of the Mystic Pathgoer is related to his state of mind.
When the mind decays, the appearance will naturally age. If the mind is strong, the secret power will affect the physical body, making it look younger.
Looking comes from the heart, that’s exactly what it is.
This is also the reason why the appearance and age of many secret travelers are very different.
But due to the change in Augustine's appearance, Shane couldn't tell which stage of his career he was in before him.
At this moment.
Augustine turned around and glanced at Xia En. In an instant, Xia En felt that everything inside and outside was being seen through.
Except for the faint blue [Eye of the Secret Sea] in my mind, it seems that no secrets can be hidden.
This feeling is like pouring a basin of cold water on your head, the chill penetrates into your bones, it is indescribably uncomfortable, and it also gives rise to instinctive fear.
And this is just a phantom of Augustine.
In other words, it is just a little bit of remnants he left behind.
Only then did Xia En realize firsthand that Augustine in the promotion ritual was really just a castrated version of his projection.
The real pirate king is so powerful that he cannot imagine it now!
He is worthy of being a ninth-level powerhouse who has faced the gods directly!
Fortunately, Augustine only took one look, then restrained his sharp eyes and nodded.
“You’re fine.”
"But a fourth-level secret path person can have such a strong body, such pure secret power, and even master the power of the field in advance."
"Among the secret path people I know, "There are only a few people who can do this. You are qualified to inherit what I left behind."
Hearing this, Shane realized that this Augustine's phantom was not. Don't know yourself.
But then I thought about it, at the time of the [Emerald Island], he attacked in the [Projected Body] state.
In the promotion ritual, he used the identity of the apostle [John Smith].
Besides, Augustine probably wouldn't know what happened in a promotion ceremony in later generations...right?
Augustine only regarded himself as a strange and mysterious person with amazing talents, and it was natural.
Thinking of this, Xia En was inexplicably curious. If he took out the [Pirate Crown], what would be Augustine's reaction?
And one more thing.
If Augustine's remnants don't recognize him, who said "You are finally here..." to himself?
But just as this thought came into Xia En's mind, he heard the man with a white beard in front of him say.
"But, look at your breath..."
"Could it be that we have met somewhere before?"
Xia En couldn't help but be startled, could it be that in the future, Have you ever had contact with Augustine as "Shane"?
But if so, how could Augustine not recognize it?
Augustine sighed: "In order to prevent a certain plan from being known to the enemy, I took the initiative to delete some key memories."
"Maybe you are in that memory."
Xia En's face changed slightly: "Delete memory?"
"Plan...enemies..."
"Senior, is the enemy you are talking about [Huisi Siming]?"
>
Hearing this name, Augustine's eyes became sharp again, and the terrible pressure dissipated again.
He is not malicious towards Xia En, but the gap between the two is too big. As long as he does not restrain his aura, he will bring a mountain of pressure to Xia En.
The abyss-like pressure only appeared for a second and then quickly dissipated.
Despite this, Xia En couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
“It seems that you know more than I thought.”
Augustine's expression returned to calm, and he said seriously: "To be honest, this is not a good thing."
"After all, for some beings, just knowing and reciting their names can It is possible for them to notice."
"If possible, it is best not to mention their names to others."
Xia En nodded solemnly: "I understand. "
Augustine added: "However, since you know the existence of [Huisi Ming], I can feel more at ease by handing this thing to you."
At this time, Xia En couldn't help but think of the afterimages of those [Apostles of Filth and Chaos] and couldn't help but ask.
“What’s so special about the heart of [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast], and why do they want to snatch it away?”
Augustine said calmly: “I don’t know. "
"I deleted the most critical part of the memory."
"So, I can only deduce that this hollow beast heart is a part of the plan."
"But whether it is an indispensable link or a random thing, only the past me knows."
After hearing these words, Xia En's expression became even more confused.
But at the same time, he also noticed a word that Augustine mentioned repeatedly -
Plan!
What’s the plan?
Is this a plan to defeat [Husi Ming] and drive him out of this world?
What role can a secret realm play in such a plan?
Seemingly seeing Sean's doubts, Augustine explained: "Someone once said to me that when the current road is not going to work, you might as well look to the future with your eyes and hopes..."
As soon as these words came out, Xia En was shocked.
Of course he will not forget that these words were said to Augustine during the promotion ritual.
But why did Augustine know these things in reality?
Is it... related to the [Secret Sea]?
Shane's heart was filled with huge waves, but Augustine just continued.
“So, I did do it.”
“Maybe you will be curious why I took the initiative to delete my memory.”
"The reason is very simple..."
"I'm going to die."
Augustine's expression was a little sad. He looked up at the illusory boundless sea, with unwillingness and nostalgia in his eyes. There is also reluctance.
There is great terror between life and death.
Even a hero like him cannot be completely indifferent in the face of death.
However, what made Augustine not want to die was definitely not the power in his hands or the various material and spiritual enjoyments.
But...his ambitions have not been realized, his ideals have not been realized, and his career has not been successful!
Xia En was vaguely aware of this and couldn't help but fell silent.
“Actually, I should have died a long time ago, on that unknown battlefield.”
Augustine looked into the distance and murmured: “So many brothers have died, only me. Escaped back with a few old guys.”
"Moreover, the other party deliberately let us go out of contempt and malice."
There was a rare sourness in his tone.
It can be imagined that the shadow of that battle has always been lingering in his mind like a nightmare.
Xia En did not speak.
He knew that Augustine now only needs a listener.
"During the days when I fled back to the principality, I woke up from my dreams countless times, and even thought about getting over it."
"But I know that a dead person can't do anything. Only alive can there be hope. "
"So from that time on, I made up my mind, no matter how embarrassed and ugly I was, I would live. "
For some people, sacrifice for the sake of justice and initiative. To die is the right thing to do. But for other people, they are willing to endure the scolding of others, the inner guilt and all kinds of humiliation to survive for the sake of their ideals.
Which of the two is greater has been debated since ancient times.
Augustine obviously belongs to the latter.
"Unfortunately, this time, my lifespan has reached its limit."
Augustine sighed again: "A living Augustine is certainly formidable."
>
“But the dead Augustine will only make people greedy.”
"There will definitely be people who want to dig out valuable secrets from my body and my memories."
"So, I had to delete the most critical memories."
Xia En became more and more silent.
He thought of the old man who was beheaded in that vision, and he didn't want to think about how the old man's body would be treated later.
“However, there is one thing I still remember.”
Augustine restrained his emotions and said calmly: "The [Norwich Treasure] I left behind is actually a gift for future generations."
"This is also the only thing I can do now It's over."
"I have only one request. After you get this treasure, you must use this secret realm to protect humans when necessary in the future."
Xia En nodded solemnly: "I. Yes!"
Augustine looked at him deeply: "I don't have much time, let me take you to see the whole picture of this treasure."
"The whole picture?"
Xia En was a little confused.
Augustine said lightly: "You don't think that the treasure I left behind is just this heart, right?"
After that, he raised his hand and pointed, and the surrounding scenery changed.
The illusory sea disappeared and turned back into the closed stone palace.
Rumble——
Around them, the ground beneath their feet continued to tremble, and the rock formations collapsed and fell off.
The hill behind the stone palace finally revealed its true appearance.
That is an extremely huge skeleton!
After the rock layer soil peeled off, the silver bones underneath were exposed. Those bones were like silver metal, with a mysterious and profound atmosphere.
To put it bluntly, it is as if it is directly connected to the [Secret Sea], leading to the void in the dark.
This skeleton is extremely large. At a rough glance, it is at least several hundred meters high and several hundred meters wide, far exceeding any sea beast that Shane has ever seen.
Just looking at this skeleton, you can imagine the terrifying posture of this giant beast in life.
“This is... the skeleton of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast]!”
Xia En’s heart was shocked.
The bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] that can give birth to the [Secret Realm] are of course of great value and are definitely an extremely precious material.
The moment he saw this skeleton, Xia En’s first thought was-
Can this skeleton be integrated into the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star]? on, and turn it into the keels of two ships?
If possible, what improvements can be brought to the two ships?
To what extent will I be enhanced by [Captain’s Majesty]?
On the side, Augustine said: "I have heard a rumor that outside the [Secret Sea], there is a vast world called... [Void]."
"It is said that that is the [Secret Sea]. The true hometown of Sea and Sky Beast."
"Therefore, [Secret Sea and Sky Beast] is also called [Void Beast]."
"I once had a bold idea. If a large ship is made from its bones, it may be possible to sail in the [Secret Sea] or even the [Void]."
Xia En was also shocked by this bold idea. Some fever.
Racing a boat in the [Secret Sea]?
When you think about it, it seems that it is indeed possible?
But obviously, if you want to build a big ship that can sail in the [Secret Sea], just the skeleton of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is definitely not enough.
Countless rare materials are also needed.
With Xia En’s current net worth, it is obviously impossible to make it up.
He immediately gave up this ambitious idea and prepared to follow the old method and use this skeleton as a material to invest in the [Heart of the Ship] to upgrade.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step!
“I would also like to remind you that the bones of [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast] have special spatial characteristics.”
At this time, Augustine said another important message: “Ordinary The space device cannot accommodate its existence."
Xia En's face suddenly froze.
Don't tell me, this is really a big problem.
Besides, even if the space ring can hold it, the capacity of his space ring cannot hold so much!
"It's just...an ordinary space device?"
A flash of inspiration flashed through Xia En's mind, and he looked at the mixed silver and dark green heart in the stone palace.
Isn’t this thing just an unusual space device?
Just, use the heart of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] to hold its skeleton...
Original soup and raw food?
Xia En had a hellish idea.
After a brief complaint, Shane hit the snake with a stick and said: "Senior, please help me put a quarter of the bones into the heart."
Augustin smiled and cursed: "You You are quite clever and thought of letting me help.”
"But why is it only a quarter?"
Xia En said honestly: "The remaining part is what my companion deserves."
Without the help of Carles, It is almost impossible for Shane to defeat Twilight, let alone obtain this treasure.
Following both emotion and reason, he would give a portion of this treasure to Carles.
These skeletons are also a very important contribution to Carles, which can help her obtain more resources in the Federation.
In fact, the heart of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is actually the bulk of this treasure, and Xia En has already taken advantage of it.
In the distribution of this skeleton, he naturally has to make compensation.
And don’t think that this quarter of the skeleton is small. It is already the size of a small mountain. It is definitely more than enough to transform the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star]!
After hearing this, Augustine nodded with satisfaction.
“Fortunately you restrained your greed.”
"Otherwise, I will kill you and wait for the next qualified person to arrive."
Xia En suddenly felt a chill in his heart and broke out in a cold sweat.
He did not expect that Augustine would set a test at this time.
Xia En pretended to be nonchalant and asked again: "By the way, senior, I have another idea."
"Can the [Yongyue Clan] people on the island be allowed to migrate? Enter this [secret realm]?”
This was something he had thought of before.
The environment of [Island of Sand] is not suitable for human survival at all. If the interior of this [Secret Realm] is not so dangerous, wouldn’t it just become the new home of [Yue Ying Clan]?
"Of course."
"This heart is already yours, you can do with it as you wish."
Augustin smiled: "But, you don't Curious, what is it like in this [secret realm]?”
"Huh?"
Xia En was stunned.
“Before letting them move in, you should go inside and see for yourself!”
As soon as Augustine stretched out his hand, Shane’s figure flew uncontrollably above his heart. .
Suddenly, there was a sudden spin and changes in light and shadow.
A whole new world appeared in front of Xia En.
