Chapter 1104: Chapter 711, God’s Arrangement
The appearance of the data made Fang Hao’s heart leap suddenly.
Bai Xuan’s guess was right; this underwater mountain really was a sunken giant ship.
A Dark Gold level giant ship.
In the “Day of Grace”, obtaining golden equipment or items was already considered a top-tier reward.
Bai Xuan had actually come up with a Dark Gold level reward.
Though it was damaged.
“Is this a mountain?” asked the Deomn Doll, acting as a guard.
The Sea Tribe warrior, slowing down, looked down following his gaze and replied, “This is a sunken ship.”
“Sunken ship? Did you guys smash it down?”
The Sea Tribe had left the deepest impression on humans for smashing ships.
Any ship, battered indiscriminately, would be sunk by them.
Hearing that these Sea Tribe knew it was a sunken ship, one subconsciously assumed it was they who had sunk it.
“Not us; it’s been here for a very long time…”
According to the Sea Tribe warrior, this giant sea ship had been here even before the Sea Tribe.
And the reason the Sea Tribe settled here was because the sunken ship contained amazing resources.
These sustained their livelihood all this time.
Of course, now the inside had been basically emptied, leaving behind nothing of value.
Only an empty shell remained.
“Oh,” the Deomn Doll nodded and continued to follow the Sea Tribe warrior, swimming forward.
…
“The god has chosen you!”
The Sea Tribe Priest stood up, his slender catfish whiskers fluttering.
“I still don’t quite understand. What do you mean ‘chosen me’?” Fang Hao shifted his gaze away from the whiskers and asked softly.
The Priest offered a simple explanation.
It meant that their god had broken contact with this world long ago. The god guided him to find the Temple, and arranged for an “Ancient Blood Attendant” to serve as his guard.
Everything was the arrangement of the god.
When it got to this part, Fang Hao was stunned.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had attacked that Temple, dismantled it, pushed down the statues, and almost believed it.
What divine will.
It’s as if it took credit for him exploring the map and opening treasure chests.
Afterward, the Sea Tribe Priest also mentioned that Sea Tribe soldiers not attacking ships was also attributed to the god.
In the words of the Priest.
The god knew everything.
He was able to find the Temple and then arrive unobstructed at the “Thornfin Sea”, all because of the god’s arrangement.
Otherwise, with human ships, it would be impossible to enter the range of the sea.
Fang Hao thought about it and felt that it wouldn’t hurt if the other party thought this way.
So he didn’t bother to explain, but conservatively said, “Uh, okay, I’ll tentatively accept your idea for now.”
Anyway, it was their own fabrication, nothing to do with him.
First, see if this title holds any benefits, and if not, then go ahead and explain.
If it’s useful, then keep it.
The Sea Tribe Priest nodded, “My lord chosen by the god, do you have any news of the father god?”
Fang Hao shook his head, “No more.”
The Sea Tribe Priest immediately appeared somewhat crestfallen, then continued to speak, “Have you come this time to trade for weapons and armor?”
“Yes, I have some equipment that the Sea Tribe can use, and I want to establish a long-term cooperation with you,” Fang Hao continued.
The Sea Tribe Priest nodded again, “I will speak to the lord about this, you are a trustworthy person.”
“Yes, thank you for your trust, Priest.”
After obtaining the information about the Dark Gold ship.
Fang Hao lost the mood to continue chatting with the Sea Tribe Priest.
With a simple exchange of courtesy, he found an excuse to leave.
Following the Sea Tribe Attendant, he returned to the coral hall they had just left.
That orange Sea Tribe lord was still sitting on the coral throne.
“This is for you, when you come over next time, you can blow it, and someone will come to meet you.”
Saying so, he tossed over a conch shell.
The size of half a palm, shaped like a trumpet opening.
It had no special attributes.
But from what the other party said, it could be used similar to a Shepherd’s Flute.
Blow it, and there would be someone to respond.
“Alright, I will come over again around this time tomorrow.” Fang Hao put away the conch shell.
The Sea Tribe lord nodded, and Fang Hao did not delay.
He directly exited the coral hall.
Taking the Ancient Blood Attendant and another Deomn Doll, he quickly swam towards the surface of the sea.
…
The Deomn Doll returned to the ship.
As soon as Fang Hao stored it in the space of the Undead, he instructed “Beiyehu” to sail back, leaving the area.
The ship started its return journey.
Anjia couldn’t wait to ask, “How was it? What was down there?”
“It’s all Sea Tribe, in particularly large numbers.”
“Not that. Did you find any treasure, the treasure recorded on the treasure map?” Anjia said, her face full of anticipation.
“I found it, it’s a particularly large ship, a Dark Gold level ship,” Fang Hao said.
“Bigger than this one?”
“Compared to this one, it’s like a little child, you tell me if that’s big or not,” Fang Hao described with no exaggeration.
Anjia too showed a look of amazement.
She thought this ship was already big, at least much bigger than the pirate ship in the amusement park.
So much bigger than this ship.
“Then why didn’t you bring it back?” Anjia immediately said with dissatisfaction.
She almost wished “Beiyehu” would stop the ship immediately and go back to bring that one.
“Do you think it’s your house? You can’t just take it. That’s the Sea Tribe’s territory.”
“Then we’re not taking it?”
“Of course, we are. But we can’t rush, we need to take it slow, and we will come back tomorrow to see the specifics.”
“Okay then!” Anjia replied and climbed the mast to relay the recent news to Lorrey, who was acting as a lookout.
The ship kept sailing back to the coast it came from.
Fang Hao opened the Gate of the Worlds and ordered all the undead back to the Troop Hiding Cave.
Then he activated the teleportation screen, taking Anjia and the others directly back to the main city.
…
Once again, they reappeared in the great hall of the main city.
Eira had already prepared dinner.
Anjia and Lorrey, unable to contain their excitement, eagerly recounted the day’s experiences to the others.
About sea battles, merpeople, giant ships, and the like.
The tales lit up the eyes of the maidens.
After dinner,
Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords and contacted Bai Xuan.
“How are things on your end?”
Bai Xuan quickly replied, “Still on our way in the air, no danger whatsoever, all is normal.”
From the air, there weren’t many dangers that could be encountered.
No fierce Flight units would appear along that route.
“Right, I just wanted to let you know, you guessed correctly – that undersea mountain is indeed a ship, a very large one,” Fang Hao said.
After pausing for a few seconds,
Bai Xuan responded with, “What the heck! How is that possible?”
Even though they also suspected it resembled a ship,
they still found it hard to believe after receiving Fang Hao’s message.
Then, another message came through.
“How did you find out?”
They had been investigating for such a long time and could only guess it to be a ship through little hints.
Fang Hao had confirmed it was a ship after just one day?
How did he confirm it?
Fang Hao answered, “Oh, I had a little chat with the merpeople. Then, I took the opportunity to take a peek at the center. I can’t say about other treasures, but that ship is indeed quite large.”
Bai Xuan said, “You’re lying; the merpeople simply do not communicate with anyone.”
“I’m not lying to you, the merpeople are quite approachable.”
Perhaps sensing that Fang Hao really had no reason to lie to her,
she pondered for a moment and then replied, “What are you planning to do next?”
Fang Hao answered, “The ship has sunk after all. Whether it can be used again is uncertain. We’ll see what the situation is with the merpeople.”
Bai Xuan replied, “Alright, if you need any help, just say the word.”
“Hm.”
Fang Hao nodded in agreement.
Honestly, he didn’t expect Bai Xuan could be of much help.
What specifically needed to be done would depend on him.
…
Disconnecting the chat,
Fang Hao headed to the Trade Alliance building.
He discussed with Doujin the plan for visiting the merpeople’s territory the next day.
They would inventory the goods prepared for the merpeople, and it would require the Skeleton traders to handle this process.
After all, Fang Hao was unsure about the prices of many items and whether they held any value.
“How many people do you need, my Lord?” Doujin continued to inquire.
“Let’s start with twenty. We’re just inventorying the goods and sorting out the types. We shouldn’t need too many people,” Fang Hao responded.
“Very well, my Lord, what time shall we set out tomorrow?”
“In the morning. I will have someone notify you in advance.”
“Understood.”
Fang Hao and Doujin sat and chatted for a while.
He also learned which materials and goods sold by the Sea Tribe were particularly marketable.
As their talk was just about wrapping up and the sky was also getting late,
Fang Hao left the building and returned to the lord’s mansion.
…
Soaking in the hot spring,
easing the fatigue of the day.
The maids went off to queue up for the pirate ship ride again, with only Eira left to groom the Red General’s feathers.
Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords.
He flipped to the regional channel.
As soon as he opened it, he saw that everyone was discussing today’s events.
“Bai Xuan is really fierce, she made those little devils beg for mercy in the world channel.”
“Beg for what mercy? How did she fight?”
“Does the Straw Hat Voyagers map still need people? I want to sail and fire a cannon too.”
“You didn’t join when they were recruiting, and now you want in when they’re splitting the spoils.”
“The world channel is also discussing this matter right now. Alliance Hierarch Bai Xuan has made us proud.”
“Gosh, both the main and deputy Alliance Hierarchs from Straw Hat Voyagers have been chat-banned, can’t reach them anymore.”
“The modern-day Mulan, anyone objects?”
Messages flew past rapidly,
all discussing the same topic.
Beating up those little devils was something that made everyone in the region feel quite proud.
After soaking for a while and noticing it was getting late,
he took Eira back to their room to rest.
…
The following day.
In the Thornfin Sea,
the White Gossamer Queen, carrying Fang Hao, Demitrija, and more than twenty Skeleton traders, entered the sea area.
After blowing the conch shell,
the merpeople surfaced and guided them, just like the day before.
Dozens of them held onto the bones of the Skeleton Giant Fish, swimming together towards the underwater merpeople region.
But this time,
there seemed to be something a little different.
As they dived deeper, they were surrounded by merpeople who stared unblinkingly at them with their bulbous eyes.
A sense of foreboding rose within him.
Why did this feel like a horror game?
Nothing’s going to go wrong, right?
In front of the reef hall, the merpeople lord and the merpeople Priest were already waiting at the entrance.
Upon seeing Fang Hao approach, they bowed slightly, “Divine Child, my Lord!”
Whoosh whoosh!!
The merpeople floating at various heights also bowed in respect.
“What the heck is going on!”
In that instant, Fang Hao was a bit stunned.
