Chapter 198: Glorious Island

In the dark and strange night of the sea, the moonlight was blocked by thick clouds, and only the faint starlight dotted the vast sea.

The Fisher family's fleet continues to sail towards the depths of the Sunless Sea, and the target they are about to reach is an island called "Brilliant".

The Glory Island is a very large island, with hundreds of thousands of people living there, and more than 95% of the residents are slaves. Extraordinary beings exist as slave owners, and their descendants and attendants are few. There are free men.

Beyond that, everyone else is just a different type of slave, essentially indistinguishable from an object.

There are hundreds of small islands surrounding the Brilliant Island, which are collectively called the "Brilliant Islands", and the entire Brilliant Islands are completely within the sphere of influence of the great lord "Psychic".

"Psychic" is one of the eight lords of the Sunless Sea. He is an extraordinary powerful person under the monarch. He is a spell caster and masters very terrifying necromancy.

Before the mysterious spiritual world appeared, there was almost no research on the soul in the world of Krad. Necromancy was generally very weak, so there were very few necromancers who could reach the level of the monarch.

The "Psychic" is probably one of the top necromancers in the world. The spells engraved in his domain can instantly create an entire powerful army of the dead!

Tio held the green telescope and stared at an island. Then he put the telescope down and said loudly:

"We are almost there. The island in front of us is the Glory Island, that's right!"

As they were about to arrive at their destination, people should have cheered loudly, but in fact no one had any intention of replying.

On the deck, everyone stared at the dark ocean, feeling an uncomfortable feeling deep in their hearts.

The waves shone palely in the darkness, like a ghost's smile, and the dim moonlight shining through the gaps in the clouds reflected the undulating outline of the waves, making the entire ocean even more mysterious and terrifying.

The night seemed to completely swallow up the lightless sea, leaving only endless depth and unknown.

The Sunless Sea is an area of ​​nine seas where there is never any sun.

In the few days after entering the Sunless Sea, no one saw the sun again, and a certain amount of pressure gradually accumulated in their hearts.

Vanessa stood on the deck, arms folded, thinking.

Then, she turned to the old housekeeper Tio and asked: "So how is Darren's situation now?"

Tio was feeling the direction of the sea breeze. When he heard Vanessa's words, he had been monitoring Darren's condition. He shook his head slightly and said:

"His injury has not worsened, but he is consuming spiritual power every day. He may be doing something, but I have no way of knowing more. I can only keep transmitting spiritual power to him."

The old man paused and said slowly:

"I hope that my help can give Master Darren certain advantages and opportunities, and at least provide hope. I know that what people lack most in desperate situations is actually hope."

Hearing that Darren was in good condition, Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said:

"It's good that his injury has not worsened. It is very likely that Darren is trying to escape from Rhea. No matter what, I believe that the great Lord of the Lost will bless him."

Finally, the Fisher family's fleet arrived at the coastal port of Glory Island.

There seemed to be unknown things whispering on the dark island, and there was a fear and shudder deep in the hearts of the crew.

Their ship completely docked, and no one in the Fisher family got off the ship immediately because they had not yet received permission from the island's nobles.

Not long after, I saw several nobles on the island holding torches, silently leading the escort of the lords on the island gradually approaching.

The nobles were all wearing black robes and strange black eye makeup.

The leader was a bald woman, also wearing a black robe. She was unusually tall, probably close to two meters tall. She had black eye shadow and lips, which looked weird, and she stared at everyone silently.

She spoke in a very strange tone, raised her hands, and said in a measured tone:

"Outsiders from the Church of Storms, I am the first messenger of the great psychic Maxis! The great psychic Maxis has been waiting for this important transaction for a long time!"

"Please come with me and see the great psychic Mathis!"

Everyone in the Fisher family was a little surprised when they heard this, because few people would add the prefix "great" to themselves. It is often only used to describe gods. Even the kings on the continent of Oden dare not Use the word "great" lightly.

Obviously, the influence of the Orthodox Church in the Sunless Sea is not strong enough, otherwise the great lord "Psychic Mathis" would not be allowed to boast of being "great".

Chris narrowed his eyes and stared at the first messenger silently, feeling a power similar to his own.

Tio turned around and nodded to Vanessa, saying very respectfully:

"Ms. Vanessa, according to Lord Byrne's instructions, you will be responsible for guarding the ship."

Vanessa was silent for a while, then nodded, and finally said:

"Yeah, I understand, Chris, just remember to be careful."

Byrne has never been to the Sunless Sea, but he has long known about the customs and customs here in the book.

He ordered Vanessa in advance to guard the ship and not to follow the others into the Glory Island for internal transactions. Of course, he was afraid that Vanessa would be upset when she saw the slaves on the island and cause trouble for everyone.

Chris nodded gently, without answering, but smiled at his wife.

His rare smile was very charming, as if the coldness of the world suddenly became warm, and the contrast would make people's hearts ripple.

Then Chris and Tio took several extraordinary people and dozens of crew members off the ship, and he also carried a precious sample of canned sunlight with him.

They came to the island and soon saw many busy slaves.

Those slaves were very tired and numb, wearing rags, and there was almost no life in their eyes.

The slaves all lowered their heads and dared not look up at them. As long as they were approached, they would immediately kneel on the ground, prostrate themselves, and their faces were pressed against the ground.

The attendants and soldiers and the nobles of the Glorious Island were all arrogant and walked with their heads up. They would never lower their heads casually.

Tio and others felt very strange and fresh. It was not that they could not understand the situation here, but they felt that their group of "civilized people" were really out of place.

They seemed to have returned to the history recorded in books and came to the Oden Continent a thousand years ago, when the extraordinary people also existed as slave owners.

That was the era when the extraordinary people completely ruled the mortals.

Because firearms had not yet been invented, collective magic and alchemy had not developed to the current level, so the city-states on the continent did not even have an army, and only the extraordinary war groups were responsible for all military affairs.

"What are you looking at!"

Suddenly a soldier shouted!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what was going on. A young slave raised his head curiously and glanced at Chris, who looked like an angel.

Chris also looked at him silently.

Then his behavior was noticed by the soldiers of the guard. Several soldiers immediately rushed over and pressed the young slave to the ground, swung the axe in their hands, and chopped off his head the next moment.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the cruel scene.

Overseas residents have always been cruel and evil, but beheading them for just one more glance was still a strict class system that they had never seen before.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and the head rolled at Chris's feet, staring at the angel-like handsome man with horrified eyes.

Chris remained silent.

"Humph!"

The first messenger in a black robe and bald head snorted coldly.

"I have always been surprised by you outsiders. Your nobles really don't know etiquette, don't know how to keep a distance from the slaves, and have always been too nice to the slaves!"

Chris was too lazy to speak, just thinking quietly in his heart.

The Sea of ​​No Light, although he didn't like it, it was indeed a very suitable place for upgrading the road to power.

The strict class system should be very important for the promotion of the road to power.

Theo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't bring Vanessa here, otherwise there might be disputes.

He smiled, nodded and said, "Every place has its differences, but no matter what, our common interests can be consistent."

The first messenger nodded lightly, not caring about those things anymore, and deep in his heart he knew that there was no need to say more to the outsiders.

Although it was night time, the islanders of the Sea of ​​No Light were very active.

Because the Lightless Sea has never had the sun for millions of years, they rely on moonlight and lights to illuminate at night and carry out various activities at night. When there is no natural light during the day, they will choose to sleep.

The crowd passed through the poor slave residences and walked for a while, and finally saw a huge black palace located at the foot of a high mountain in the center of the island.

The palace stood very abruptly in that position, completely out of tune with the many shabby slave residences below. Although they were not very far away, there was a sense of isolation from a different world!

The first messenger raised his hands, and his tone was still ups and downs, and continued:

"Keep going, outsiders sent by the Storm Church! The great psychic we are waiting for is there, he is waiting for you, and he has been looking forward to this transaction!"

Chris narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had already felt the powerful momentum emanating from the monarch in the palace.

If that guy had any murderous intentions, it is very likely that no one in the Fisher family's fleet would be able to escape.

However, they came here to trade under the banner of the Church of the Storm. Even if the overlord really wanted to turn against them and wanted to take over the goods directly, he had to consider the influence of the Church of the Storm on the ocean.
