Black Sail
Chapter 381: XVI. Sacrifice

Chapter 381: XVI. Sacrifice

Dreya actually admired interesting people, whether it was Mika or Rein, both of whom were quite unique, but Archer was, of course, an exception. He wasn’t exactly annoying but rather someone most sought to quickly dispose of.

To evade the "Ancient God," Goria and Meredith made a swift escape by jumping directly out of the window.

Mo Yutong lacked such agility.

Dreya, on the other hand, had a strong mental fortitude.

Both Mika and Rein gasped, and upon seeing the mad woman, they began to choose their words very carefully.

"You deserve to die! You already have a wife, yet you still flirt with this woman you brought back from Aran. This is a ’Lonely’ problem."

After saying that, Archer, drunk as he was, actually started crying.

Mika was deeply shocked and gave Archer a new level of respect. Too bold, Blade Queen, often called Little Dreya, even said, "Are you asking for death?"

Liszt had a headache. Saying it like this, Archer took on all of the tragic roles in Black Sail—everyone has difficulties, but he alone crazily lost tiny pearls like Batman’s mom in countless parallel universes losing pearls, yet none matched the number that Archer racked up.

"What nonsense are you spouting..."

Mo Yutong was somewhat annoyed, although what was said was true, yet he feared his girlfriend wouldn’t take it well after all, it was her husband.

"I think Mr. Archer means, a good female friend is a female friend, a bad female friend is an enemy friend."

Rein also went all in, with the Will of Fire burning endlessly. This move, not even gods, Liszt, can you catch it? Hurry up and light a fire, tear him apart you bastard.

"Uh..."

Mo Yutong had no response and was even more confused. Was he really in another world and not back home?

Liszt was utterly confounded!

Dreya, however, didn’t get angry. Given her age, she found these two young folks quite adorable.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll slaughter you."

Dreya said with a smile.

It seemed like a murderous intent was sensed, Archer and Rein were exhausted from running. Archer’s blood ran cold, and he sobered up to some extent and quickly fled at light speed.

Mika approved. It was these two who brought him here to see who sent the letter to Liszt and confirm its contents.

General Fen, due to the literacy lacking on the island, single-handedly dealt with everything, the saying goes, "The capable are busy," the people from the world’s top universities, now turned into scholarly labor. While there were many carpenters and roofers, they knew nothing about top-level urban planning and architectural blueprints. He alone backed up all the technical work of Heaven Port, overwhelmed with tasks.

To fully develop this island and increase the GDP limit, not hoping to catch up to Duguli, but at least to turn it into a metropolis of the East Sea.

Others were also very busy, Shadi and that exhibitionist woman messed around daily like glue, Brother Sha was more marvelous, even the Three-body people couldn’t tolerate his overly advanced performance art.

Every move of Liszt was tied to the entire interests of Black Sail, definitely requiring someone to keep an eye on him.

It wasn’t that the brothers didn’t trust Liszt, after spending so many years together, but some matters couldn’t be settled simply by loyalty; even real brothers must settle accounts clearly.

"I thought you would accompany Ox to Dead Man Bay."

Liszt found Mika to be the type interested in Mermaids, having heard that a Mermaid Master intended to discuss matters with Ox at Dead Man Bay.

The Merfolk of Mirror Sea were genuine mermaids.

In the black market, they could fetch a high price of two hundred Golden Dragons, and some nobles with unique tastes kept one to relieve melancholy. People from inland had never seen creatures from Mirror Sea; some people captured them to organize an exhibition, making a fortune from ticket sales.

Risk and profit were directly proportional, with countless daring adventurers being killed by the Merfolk of Mirror Sea.

Hence, Mirror Sea was a highly isolated place, extremely xenophobic; humans entering were directly labeled as poachers unless they had prior appointments for negotiations.

"Brother Sha went once and couldn’t stand it, I better not."

Mika heard from Acher that it was a place of incessant rain with heavy moisture. Damaging this Piling Holy Body would lead to endless troubles.

"Life is unpredictable..."

The adventurer delivering the message looked at Liszt, but couldn’t keep staring, glancing casually, the new Boss seemed approachably easygoing.

"Who is this?"

Liszt inquired to Mika.

"Someone has brought you a letter and this wooden box, they’re yours."

Mika replied.

Liszt took the letter from the adventurer, the postal stamp address was his mother’s Imperial City.

His mind conjured only two phrases.

"Ferris wheel" and "Eternal Clock Tower."

He tore open the envelope.

The others also crowded around to see, but unfortunately, since the letter was written in English, Mika and Dreya couldn’t understand it.

Except for Mo Yutong.

She quickly scanned it and understood all its contents.

This letter... was from Sharon!

Although it was unsigned, Mo Yutong knew that Sharon was a Holy Professor in the Eternal Sect.

It described Sharon’s own situation.

She had been recommended by Marcus to become a Priest, even the Sect’s head of proselytizing in the Imperial City’s New Industrial Zone, wielding significant power.

It also mentioned...

The Dragon Lord’s True Prophecy.

It seemed Marcus had received some divine revelation and after reviving had evolved into the ultimate Madman, though the specifics of the prophecy were unclear.

But Liszt was an indispensable part of it, now it was hard to pin down what role he was playing, whether he might be a sacrifice, for the Dragon Lord knew past and future, ruling the boundless space-time.

It felt as though even Earth...

Was completely understood.

Marcus knew there were many extraterrestrial beings on this world, and understood that Liszt was one of them.

But strangely, Marcus harbored no vengeful intentions towards Liszt and seemed to truly possess a touch of divinity; because of the Divine Power flowing in him, he could even wield the Junlin Sword.

He reassured Liszt not to worry, she was a bit weary but still in a relatively safe situation.

Additionally, according to Sharon’s guess.

Aside from Mu Ran, there was someone else hidden within the Alan Royal Court, collaborating with the Mysterious Wizard, the Industrial Zone was all his doing, even the electrical network had been set up, and Imperial City now had several phone booths.

The hunt...

Had not ended, and Liszt should be extra cautious.

The letter also mentioned that inside the wooden box was one of the Junlin Swords.

That was all the content.

It ended with Sharon writing that she missed Liszt greatly.

Liszt read the content blankly, extremely alarmed, even Sharon... had acknowledged the existence of the Dragon Lord, Lord Guan, you must protect me.

Additionally.

Liszt was extremely worried about Sharon’s situation, she was a very strong person, always bearing good news and not the bad, although it wasn’t mentioned in the letter, one could tell from the text that she needed help.

The Dragon Lord’s True Prophecy.

Mu Ran... No.2?

Liszt felt as if he was facing a great enemy, even he was almost crushed by the successive crises, something Marcus was brewing made him recall what Garscek had said about a disaster that occurs once every nine hundred years.

Mo Yutong should have realized earlier that Sharon had seemingly dated Liszt during their college days, and then thinking of killing Mu Ran on the train... her feelings grew complicated.

However, other matters in the letter made Mo Yutong more alert, she hadn’t even known about a Mu Ran No.2.

"What does the letter say?"

Dreya asked Mo Yutong, looking as if she had understood.

"Nothing much... just a business partner."

Mo Yutong covered for Liszt, as Dreya, being of a playful age, wouldn’t mind most entertainments, but understanding that Liszt had crossed the ocean for another woman would really drive her mad.

Immediately after, Liszt opened the wooden box.

One could recognize the real thing at a glance.

It was indeed the Junlin Sword.
