Chapter 362 Black Reef Harbor, Legendary Pirates, Unknown Waters at the End of the World

Serpent's Belly Islands, Cape Storm, Blackreef Harbor.

The precipitous strait and towering cliffs guard a port city with a black flag covering the sky, towering over the vast blue ocean. Scrapped ship hulls and skeletons of sea beasts constitute the main source of building materials. The city is built on the excavated stone walls, and the flying plank roads connect the houses to each other.

Notorious, the city of pirates.

At the slaughter dock, masts and sails are moored everywhere. A huge sea beast about 40 meters long is hung upside down on a slaughtering machine assembled with scaffolding and pulley hooks. Its fangs alone are as big as those of an adult. The butcher stands on a high platform and dismembers the sea beast's torso with a steel blade like a torture instrument.

The blood soon covered his ankles, and the helpers below tried hard to clean it with a long-handled rag.

A helper with rivets on his face and a Mohawk grumbled.

"I came to Black Reef Harbor to make a fortune, not to work illegally here!"

"Is it your turn to make a fortune?"

The old man leaned over to mop up the blood without looking up, and said indifferently: "The guy above you has a bounty of one thousand sea snake coins. You can take his head and go to the bounty list in front of the Virgin Tavern to exchange it for money. It's enough for you to live a carefree and happy life for half your life. Do you have the guts to do that?"

"You, really think that I'm a coward?"

The helper with a Mohawk hairstyle was so angry that his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he wished he could smash the mop in his hand into two pieces.

At this moment, a powerful and stern voice made the helpers feel as if they were falling into an icy cave. They only heard the butcher standing on the high platform giving orders.

"If I hear you two gossiping again, I'll chop off your weak balls and throw them into the sea to feed the fish."

The scarred butcher stood on a platform in front of the bloody sea monster, his sleeves and gloves torn by the sharp scales.

Ignoring the blood dripping down his face, the butcher looked at the black-sailed warship coming in the sea fog, squinted his eyes, and said, "Keep your eyes open, the woman from the Sea God Temple is back. If you offend her, your fate will be no better than marrying the Pirate King's mistress."

In the thick fog, a huge black-sailed warship like a monster returned to the port from the sea.

Boom! The anchor was dropped from the deck, and the giantess, as big as a mountain, appeared again in the sight of everyone at the dock.

Smuggling gangs, bounty hunters, butchers and crew members all looked at him with fear.

Poseidon priestess, Talaseya.

Legend has it that this strong man with the blood of giants once strangled to death a giant tentacle sea monster that had been wreaking havoc in Blackreef Harbor for a day and a night.

Behind it is the Temple of Poseidon, an ancient temple that has existed in Blackreef Harbor for thousands of years.

Although the faith is declining, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and the Temple of Poseidon still has full say in Blackreef Port.

The butcher looked at the Poseidon priest who was slowly walking up the dock with the courage to fight against a thousand enemies alone. He suddenly frowned and murmured hoarsely.

"What's going on? Why did Talaseya bring back a little girl?"

On the giantess's shoulders sat a frail girl, her eyes as blue as the sea, looking around in fear and anxiety. Talasea supported the girl's body with her large hands and whispered something to her.

Whispers quickly spread across the dock.

"Why is there a girl on Talaseya's shoulder?"

"slave?"

"Can we meet at the Virgin Tavern tonight? I'll pay you five sea snake coins!"

The man who said this was a gangster, who was scanning the girl's body with greedy and burning eyes. He had a bottle of rum in his hand, and the alcohol was rising. He didn't notice Talasea's cold face at all.

Seeing this, the butcher sighed and told the old man who was cleaning below: "I can't tolerate such a short-sighted guy in my territory. You have to go to the water tomb again tonight, so that the Sea God Temple won't find me."

The old man nodded sullenly and said hoarsely:

"That girl is unusual. She might be related to the sea god."

The butcher looked up at the cloudy sky over the port city and whispered, "Black Lagoon Port, the weather is going to change..."

Talaseya carried Helena on her shoulders, releasing her majestic will, forcing passers-by to retreat, as if forming a vacuum zone with a radius of five meters, but her tone when speaking to Helena was very friendly.

"Black Reef Port is the capital of the Ice Sea Kingdom. A long time ago, there was a king, but later the pirate king Blackbeard killed the king and usurped the throne. Black Reef Port gradually became the horrible state it is today."

As they talked, the two of them passed the slaughter dock and came across a group of tomb-like buildings. From a distance, huge rats were squeaking wildly in front of the giantess, and were chased and played by two half-dressed boys holding weapons high, and fled in panic.

"The slums are near the docks, and all the people doing these shady deals are doing shady things."

Talaseya raised her head and looked up at the buildings along the cliff. She said, "In Black Reef Harbor, the farther away from the water, the less likely you are to drown and the higher your status. The Temple of Poseidon is just across the Giant's Bridge in Black Reef Harbor. It's taller than the Temple of Poseidon..."

Talaseya narrowed her eyes, pointed at a majestic dark fortress, and said:

"It's Blackbeard's castle."

The huge fortress uses a large number of sea monsters' scales and claws as decoration. From a distance, it looks like a savage sea beast, giving people an intuitive sense of terror.

Helena couldn't help but move closer to Talasea and whispered:

"The Blackbeard you mentioned... between him and his brother... who is more powerful?"

Talaseya frowned slightly, and after a while, she sighed, "It should be the Chosen One of Dark Night, but I'm not sure. Blackbeard himself is a Six-ring Master. On the other hand, his flagship seems to be some kind of magical weapon, which is more terrifying than the Breaking Waves God and is quite powerful..."

The two climbed up the cliff from the towering plank road, passing by houses, black markets, fortune-telling stalls, and taverns in a hurry.

"That's the liveliest tavern in Black Reef Castle."

Talaseya raised her chin towards a noisy crowd, with obvious disgust flashing across her face.

"The pirates called that place Virgin Land, where slaves were smuggled and prostitutes were traded."

"But what I want to tell you about is not this, but the thing called the Bounty List in front of the tavern."

A group of people gathered in front of a huge notice board, commenting and discussing.

"The 'Broken Limb' butcher is really powerful. In just a few days, his bounty has increased to 1,200 Sea Serpent Coins!"

"What's up with the 'Lucky' chick? Wasn't she being hunted down by Blackbeard himself? Not only is she alive, but her bounty has also increased?"

"Hunting the 'water ghost' in the water tomb, the bounty is three thousand sea snake coins! God of the sea, those are the three great terrors, only a ghost would be willing to take this job!"

Listening to these ambiguous discussions, Helena looked at Talasea beside her with confusion:

"Bounty and Sea Serpent Coins, what do they mean?"

"There is only one kind of currency in circulation in the Ice Sea Kingdom, and that is the Sea Serpent Coin privately minted by Blackbeard."

Talaseya said: "The wanted notice on the bounty list was also issued by him and his men."

"In Black Reef Harbor, Blackbeard is the embodiment of both order and chaos. He is so powerful that he doesn't even take the Temple of Poseidon seriously."

Talaseya looked at Helena with deep eyes and revealed a rare smile.

“But when you come, all that changes.”

Facing this earnest gaze, Helena suddenly felt a huge pressure, lowered her head and stammered: "I, I hope it will be like this..."

"It should be noted that the higher the bounty, the stronger the wanted criminal is and the harder it is to provoke him."

Taraseya carried Helena on her shoulders and strode across an ancient stone bridge that spanned the main port area, heading towards the Temple Square on the other side of the Giant's Bridge. She explained in a low voice: "When encountering a wanted criminal worth more than 1,000 Sea Serpent Coins, even the strongest bounty hunters have to think twice before taking action."

Helena hesitated until Talasea nodded encouragingly, then she asked:

"So, Priest Talasea, do you have any bounty on you?"

The giantess laughed loudly: "Blackbeard doesn't even have the guts to issue a warrant for my arrest! Well, this place is the Temple of Poseidon. I will have the elders come out to greet you!"

Helena's eyes widened and she couldn't help but hold her breath. A majestic and ancient temple appeared before her eyes.

The whole of the Poseidon Temple seemed to be transformed from the skeleton of a giant sea beast. On both sides of the temple entrance stood two pillars transformed from the skulls of giant whales, with wave and vortex patterns interwoven on the pillars.

The low sound of waves echoed, and Helena suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken. A power from her blood was calling her. Her eyes were filled with a deep blue light, causing the Temple of Poseidon to vibrate dully.

Talasea's eyes widened.

Noticing something was wrong in the Temple of Poseidon, the elders in dark blue robes left the Temple one after another.

"Talasea! The statue of Poseidon inside the temple suddenly began to glow!"

At this moment, the elders of the Temple of Poseidon all noticed Helena's blue eyes, and their breathing became heavy.

"Is that her? The girl you brought here, could she be the one with divine blood?"

"The strangeness of the Poseidon statue must be related to her!"

"Quick, take her into the Sea God Temple!"

Talaseya hurriedly escorted Helena, walked up the rough steps that looked like a turtle's back shell, and came to a huge statue of Poseidon in the Temple of Poseidon.

The statue of Poseidon is majestic and powerful, holding a trident high, with priceless sapphires inlaid in his eyes. At this moment, the sapphires glow with a strange brilliance, and the strong divinity of Poseidon surges in the realm of creation.

The moment Helena arrived, the divinity of Poseidon immediately gathered and fell towards Helena's body like a tide!

Talaseya opened her eyes wide in shock.

"This is... the blessing of the Sea God!"

Blessing is an extraordinary power more powerful than spells and combat skills. When the sea god personally bestowed the blessing, the girl's identity as a person with divine blood was beyond doubt!

The elders had different expressions on their faces, and then they all knelt down and worshiped in front of Helena! A moment later.

The glow from the Poseidon statue gradually faded.

Helena's figure was shaky.

Talaseya was quick to move forward and immediately supported her, only to see her lying in her arms, unconscious.

The elders crowded around nervously.

After exploring Helena's soul realm, the giantess breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"She is fine. She just couldn't digest such a huge amount of divinity for a while and fell into a coma. With her sea god bloodline, she will recover slowly."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"The return of the Blood of God is a great blessing for our Sea God Temple!"

The third elder of the Seagod Temple was excited and said, "Under her leadership, we will definitely make Blackbeard step down and restore the glory of the Seagod Temple!"

The Great Elder had a calm expression, frowned, and asked:

"How did the Dark Night Cult find her, and how did they contact you?"

Talaseya then briefly summarized how the blood of the sea god was lost overseas, how he was unexpectedly rescued by the Chosen One of Dark Night, and how he later sent people to contact her.

"The Chosen One of Dark Night..."

The great elder seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "The Dark Night Sect has a bad reputation on the continent, but it does not conflict with the scope of operations of the Sea God Temple. Moreover, it also returned the Sea God's bloodline, which is indeed a favor."

"In the future, if the Dark Night God's Chosen comes to the Ice Sea Kingdom, the Sea God Temple should treat him as an honored guest!"

The great elder looked around and received unanimous approval from those around him.

At this time.

A male believer from the Sea God Temple stumbled in and said in panic:

"Oh no! Something big happened at sea!"

He looked horrified and panic-stricken, as if he had received news that overturned his worldview.

"What's going on? Why are you so flustered?" The Great Elder was displeased.

"The fog, the wall of fog—the wall of fog is gone!"

The entire Poseidon Temple was shaken, and everyone showed shocked expressions at the same time.

Talaseya's face turned pale, and she said incredulously:

"The fog wall disappeared? How is this possible?"

The Temple of Poseidon fell into uproar and confusion.

"The fog wall is the end of the world, how could it disappear?!" the elder asked coldly.

"It's true!" The believer said with a sad face, "Blackbeard led the fleet back to the port and brought back the news personally. Now it has spread throughout Black Reef Port!"

What is on the other side of the fog wall? This question popped up in everyone's mind at the same time.

Talaseya's face turned pale. She felt powerless and uncertain, as if she was swept away by the tide of the times. She immediately made a decision and said in a cold voice:

"If the intelligence is true, we must explore new routes outside the fog wall at all costs!"

*The icy sea is vast and majestic, with dark clouds pressing down.

On the stormy sea, lightning tearing through the sky illuminates a pirate ship with black sails that is as terrifying as a ghost.

Queen Anne's Revenge.

Spectacular, beautiful, bloody, nailed with human bones, loaded with cannons, like a sea monster, famous throughout the seven seas! In the roaring waves, the Queen Anne's Revenge stood still, with her blood-red sails bulging in the wind.

A ferocious man with a black beard stood on the deck, his voice echoing like thunder over the sea, laughing fiercely:

"Red-haired girl, you can't escape. There's a fog wall ahead, the end of the world! If you turn back, I'll leave your body intact!"

The dense fog that stretched for thousands of miles blocked the sea, and there was no end in sight. The fog exuded a strange magical power, and thunder and purple lightning kept interweaving in the fog!

Any ship that breaks into the fog wall will be immediately smashed to pieces by thunder!

On a light monorail schooner, heavy rain poured down, soaking the female pirate's red hair. Her soul power turned into blue flames, covering the entire sailboat, controlling this [Siren's Kiss] to sail through the huge waves.

The navigator in the sailor sequence can use extraordinary powers to control the entire ship by himself without the need for sailors. The ship can be regarded as an extension of the navigator's power.

A powerful ship can increase the combat capability of a navigator exponentially. It can be said that the flagship is the life of a navigator.

The red-haired female pirate stood in front of the steering wheel on the deck, controlling it with both hands, steering the Siren's Kiss through the waters at the end of the world.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Queen Anne's Revenge fired its cannon, sending flames shooting into the sky and echoing through the rainstorm.

"Your good luck can't save you!"

Blackbeard said sternly: "The fog wall is ahead, and you will die!"

"You don't understand, Blackbeard. The goddess of luck never favors weaklings!"

The red-haired female pirate's eyes flashed, and she was ready to die. She turned the rudder and controlled the flagship to rush towards the fog wall of lightning and thunder, shouting:

"Goodbye, cage!"

"Do you fucking think you're the chosen one of the goddess of luck?!"

Blackbeard was furious, but he didn't dare let the Queen's Vengeance continue to approach the fog wall.

"Unless the fog wall disappears today, only the Sea God can collect your body!!"

The storm grew more violent.

An unprecedented hurricane pushed aside the wall of fog that stretched for thousands of miles.

The nimble Siren's Kiss plunged into the cracks in the fog wall and disappeared at the end of the vast sea.

Blackbeard was stunned on the spot, rubbed his eyes, and suddenly let out a breath of cold air. He said in shock: "The fog wall... is gone?!"

…

Morningfrost Ridge, Swordwinter Keep.

Ye Zhi looked at the information sent back by Talasea on the bronze plate with shock in his eyes.

The fog wall disappears!

At the end of the world, a new sea area appeared! In just a few days, the fleet of Black Reef Port explored the new route like crazy, and a large number of unknown sea beasts appeared in front of the world! Among them, there are even clues of royal-level monsters. The legendary pirate Blackbeard led the fleet to fight against the sea beasts that appeared at the end of the world. There were heavy casualties, but the harvest was also full!

Yeats swallowed.

Theresa's policy of developing the navy is undoubtedly wise. The competition for the new world is a competition for royal power! In a few days, the news of the disappearance of the fog wall will spread throughout the continent.

By then, the situation in the duel tournament in Roland Kingdom will become delicate.

It was originally intended to demonstrate the prestige of the kingdom. At this special juncture when the new sea route appears, it is likely that several major kingdoms will divide up the benefits according to their rankings in the conference.

After all, this duel is equivalent to a competition between the strongest people in several kingdoms. The country with the strongest people naturally has the right to get a bigger piece of the pie in the new route! Ye Zhi's breathing became heavier.

Yeats was deeply impressed by the plot of the New Passage version and had the hope of becoming the first discoverer of the New World and going down in history!

On the other hand, the indigenous gods of the New World have many good things in their hands. You can communicate with them in advance and try to get opportunities.

But the opening up of new sea routes is not a matter of overnight. After the fog wall dissipated in the plot, it took humans more than ten years to discover the New World.

The discovery of the New World also had a huge impact on the theology of the Holy See, and the power of faith in heaven weakened accordingly.

"I still have plenty of time to prepare for the Duel Tournament..."

Ye Zhi thought to herself, “However, before that, I still have to go to the Ice Sea Kingdom in person, catch some big fish, and help Gray get promoted!”
