Chapter 185 The Third Ladder "Hand of Judgment"

At the port of Nasir Town, a large fleet of hundreds of people belonging to the Fisher family is about to set sail.

They used to be subordinates of merchant John and other merchants, but now they have been integrated by the Fisher family and become a loyal merchant fleet under the Fisher family.

This fleet, carrying a large amount of cargo, is about to sail to the Sunless Sea, and then sell those special containers filled with sunlight in the name of the Church of Storms.

The Lightless Sea is a completely dark and strange sea area. The number of mysterious beings and creatures is far greater than that in the areas of the four eastern countries.

The ancestors of the local people believed in a terrible evil god and were judged by the brilliant sun, one of several gods. They were cursed from generation to generation and could not survive in a place with light for more than three minutes.

However, they are extremely thirsty for sunlight and hope to see it at all times. In a place like the Sunless Sea, warm sunlight is a well-known luxury.

Although it is an area of ​​sea where the sun never appears, there are a large number of believers of the Church of the Sun, and it has become a trend among the nobles to go to the edge of the Sunless Sea to spy on the existence of the sun.

Some people even escape from the Dark Sea and come to the White Sea to experience the sun's rays at the cost of their lives in order to bathe in the sun's sunshine, and then burn to ashes.

There is a famous and extremely valuable painting that depicts the ancient King of the Lightless Sea standing on the bow of a ship, with his arms outstretched under a clear sky, looking up at the scorching sun, with flames burning all over his body.

It is said that the original version of this painting is worth as much as the finest treasures.

This Fisher fleet is actually a joint venture between Zain, the acting bishop of the Storm Church, Viscount Best's Lion Family, and the Fisher Family. The business of selling sunlight is very profitable, and in the end the Fisher Family can get a full 50% of the profits from it.

The leader of Fisher's fleet is the old steward Theo, who was the best boatswain back then. In addition to Theo, there are fifteen extraordinary people in the fleet, five of whom are Dawners.

The crew members who can truly be called strong are the couple Vanessa and Chris.

Vanessa has successfully broken through and successfully reached the third step of the Road to Order!

"Hand of Judgment".

Its image in the spirit world is a white-light male wearing blood-red gloves, with a serious expression and a cold gaze in his eyes.

After successfully breaking through, Vanessa mastered two completely different extraordinary characteristics, namely "Conviction" and "Punishment Gloves".

When she uses "Condemn" on someone in her sight, the other person's "crimes" will appear in her mind, and those "crimes" are things that are not in line with the principles of the "Hand of Judgment" herself.

Every attack from the outside world will trigger a certain "crime", bringing completely different extraordinary effects, continuously accumulating damage and negative states.

"Gloves of Punishment" means that a pair of scarlet gloves made of blood will condense on her palms, with blood flowing continuously.

This scarlet glove made of blood can be transformed into various weapons at will, and after being broken up, it can be instantly re-condensed, and the attack distance can be close or far.

The overall quality of the Hand of Judgment is improved by seventy, the physical quality is improved by fifty, and the spiritual power is improved by twenty.

After the breakthrough, Vanessa's overall strength has been greatly improved, and now she is undoubtedly the fourth strongest force in the Fisher family.

Moreover, she was already a summoner who had reached the upper level of the origin, and had recently shown signs of a breakthrough in her spellcasting power.

However, it is not so easy to break through the other system.

Vanessa also needs the matching spellcasting inheritance and magic potions to be confident enough to break through. Otherwise, if she fails, her own strength may be permanently damaged.

Before setting out to sea, Theo spread out the nautical chart and repeated the destination of the voyage to everyone.

"We are heading to the Sunless Sea this time. The last place we plan to go is the territory of one of the seven great lords there, a large island with a population of hundreds of thousands. Those great lords are all monarch-level overlords. We must not provoke them."

The total area of ​​the Lightless Sea is very large, and the area of ​​habitable islands is comparable to that of Syat. The people on those islands are all ruled by seven great lords, and the system is still slavery.

The mortals in that dark sea live like ants, with no possibility of climbing up, while the extraordinary ones can enjoy everything without restraint.

Even though three of the seven great lords believed in the Church of the Sun, they never agreed to abolish slavery.

Byrne and Irene chose to stay in Nasir Town. Vanessa smiled and said to them:

"Don't worry, we will be back in a month and will bring back a huge fortune!"

Chris silently took out a wooden box containing a trading item, canned sunlight.

That is a terrifying thing that could impact the solar gold trade.

It looks like a 20-centimeter glass jar with golden spells all over the surface. Inside the glass jar there is a fingernail-sized ball of light floating in the middle.

The Fisher family, the Lion family, and the Fussack family behind Zain will all quickly gain huge benefits because of it.

Chris opened the jar out of curiosity, and the fingernail-sized ball of light inside suddenly lit up, and the next moment it burst into soft and warm sunlight!

Everyone within dozens of square meters felt it and couldn't help but look over here!

The warm sunshine lasted for more than ten seconds, as if it could melt the ice and snow in my heart, and then it disappeared.

Everyone felt comfortable and warm from the bottom of their hearts and they would definitely have a good sleep tonight.

"What a waste, you are..." Byrne shook his head speechlessly. Chris didn't care about his thoughts at all.

He suddenly understood why the nickname of "Sun Gold" in the Alchemy Council was "Sun Gold".

Because isn’t that man’s power a moving gold mine in the Lightless Sea?

"Well, he is the richest Sun Bishop in Lorne?"

So Fisher's fleet set off, leaving the port of Nasir Town and heading for the lightless sea where the sun did not shine.

——

In Rhea, the villages that were once surrounded by fertile fields and green forests are now in ruins, with rotting corpses lying on the ground, and the elderly and children waiting for death in a daze.

A unit of the Siat Kingdom Army is staying in this village and will join the main force in a few days. Darren is the commander of this unit.

This Rhea village near the border has been looted by the Rheas and Syat peoples in turn. All the young women have been abducted, and most of the adult men have died in the battle, leaving only a large number of the old, weak and sick alive.

In fact, many Syat armies were accompanied by slave traders.

Although Syat was no longer a slave state in essence, it still turned a blind eye to foreign slaves, and no one really cared about such matters.

Anyway, no Syat would dare to stand up and say a word for the Rheans.

Syat has poor internal cohesion and strong local forces, while the situation in Rhea is more ancient and barbaric, and is basically still in the era of feudal lords.

Therefore, they had no inner pressure to plunder the land of other lords.

Inside the ordinary residential building, Colonel Abel's staff officer was explaining the current situation to Darren Fisher. He pointed at a few points on the map and said seriously:

"In a few days, we will meet up with Colonel Abel's infantry regiment and head here together. The local lord of that town is a vassal of the Meyer family. The lord is a powerful man who has undergone a qualitative change and is very powerful. He can control the power of thunder and lightning."

"However, we have three members of our main army who have undergone qualitative changes. They are from the Roman family and the Fussack family. Our overall military strength is also superior to that of the enemy. As long as we use the right tactics, we can capture that town."

Darren frowned slightly and nodded gently.

That's indeed the plan, but plans can never keep up with changes.

He suddenly asked, "By the way, how are the people I want?"

The staff officer thought about it, then said, "Well, just lock him up in the next room."

Darren immediately went to the next room and saw the locked-up and trembling Rhea soldiers. It was those people who had ambushed and killed two Syat soldiers he knew, and then were captured by him personally.

He calmly took out the dagger, his expression cruel and his tone cold as he said:

"Don't be nervous. I just want to do an experiment and need your cooperation. Well, as long as you don't die in the end, I will let you go. Do you agree?"

Several Rhea soldiers shook their heads and refused to agree, but it was useless to disagree.

"Okay! I've sensed your negative emotions, great! I want to see if I can get more!"

Darren was pleasantly surprised to find that he had indeed mastered the power of the sequence further. Just as he was about to swing the dagger to try to increase the negative emotional feedback, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside!

"Shit, what's going on?"

He rushed outside and saw that the whole village was surrounded by raging fire! There were sounds of panic and wailing everywhere!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Commander Darren, hurry up, organize resistance!"

The herald ran over yelling, and soon Darren saw a middle-aged soldier with hair like red flames and a white military uniform standing in the flames in the sky.

He came from the sky riding on flames, and the flowing flames instantly engulfed the herald's body.

The red-haired man was about to wave his hand to kill Darren, but suddenly he stared at the young man in front of him.

"Are you from the Fisher family?"

Being recognized, awful, but maybe this is how he could survive. Darren’s expression changed again and again, and his body began to tremble slightly.

He knew two important things. The first was that the other party was a powerful person who had achieved a qualitative change, and he had no ability to resist at all.

The second thing is what that fiery red hair represents!

My father once said that among the Rheans, the red-haired nobles are almost synonymous with the Meyer family, and that top family with the bloodline of the powerful fire demon "Anzenos" is the biggest enemy of the Fischer family!
