Viktor didn't answer the question, but continued:
"Your [Blessing of Water] was bestowed upon you by Dozale, wasn't it?"
Upon hearing Dozal's name, Rivi immediately became serious.
This proves that his idea was correct.
Most people are unaware of the existence of calamities, let alone their names.
But Viktor knew very well.
This only shows that he had his eye on the calamity long ago.
"How much else do you know?"
Victor looked at Reeves and said calmly.
"People of the Sea".
Outside the empire, there exists a very special group.
They lived on the sea and called themselves 'the people of the sea'.
Through their offerings, they received the blessings of the sea.
This blessing granted these deep-sea believers the ability to breathe underwater and a strong affinity for the water element.
This allows them not only to live on the surface of the sea, but also to go to the deeper seabed.
However, Viktor was well aware of this.
What they worship is not the simple, primitive ocean, but a terrifying being that dwells in the deep sea of the world.
Dozal—
Calamity of water.
Unlike other calamities, Dozale is the only one that is worshipped.
Unlike other calamities, it eats well, drinks well, and lives forever.
Because the people of the sea need the blessing of Dozale.
Thanks to Dozal's blessing, the sea people also lived a free life in the seabed.
The vast ocean is full of "treasures," and even occupying just a small part of it is enough for them to live well.
Therefore, the Sea People are also the most unique group of humans.
Because they were the only ones who came into contact with the calamity and were empowered by it.
but……
"The people of the sea are, after all, xenophobic."
Reeve was somewhat surprised to hear Viktor say that.
He was already somewhat surprised when he heard Viktor utter the words "People of the Sea."
I never expected that Viktor would even know about something like this.
It was as if... he had been there himself.
Reeve was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Indeed, as you said, the people of the sea are very xenophobic."
They disliked outsiders because they didn't belong to their kind.
But they do not exclude all outsiders.
The Sea People's attitude towards those who wield the magic of the water element has improved somewhat.
In their minds, water is the end of the world.
Anyone who possesses control over the water element, no matter how much, will be seen as evidence of goodwill.
Reeve left for two months because he went there.
Through an extremely tempting deal, they received the blessing of water from the people of the sea.
He was given a spot reserved for his daughter.
In addition, he had been to the Ocean Temple before.
The people of the sea were then somewhat reluctant to compromise.
But neither the blessing of water nor the legacy of the temple can compare to the true source of calamity.
However, defeating Dozale and extracting its essence is no easy task.
So many sea people would certainly not agree.
Viktor smiled and said:
"I will not negotiate with them."
He still remembered what the people of the sea worshipped.
The things that the people of the sea offer are actually unnecessary for Dozale.
"But, in the beginning, we still need to get closer to them."
So this time, Victor plans to bring Henney along.
No intelligent being can resist Heni's charm.
Including those sea people who are still human.
After listening to Victor's plan and understanding some of it, Levi leaned back on the sofa and asked:
"I understand. Is there anything I need to do?"
"Just bring your daughter."
Viktor said calmly:
"She is the key to attracting the calamity."
Reeve narrowed his eyes.
"Of course, I will ensure her safety."
Hearing Viktor say this, Reeves picked up his teacup:
"It seems that I don't need to do anything else besides this."
"The influence of an imperial duke is still quite necessary for you."
Viktor also picked up the teacup in front of him:
"So, it's a pleasure doing business with you?"
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
...
Erica is studying in her room upstairs.
A sense of crisis fueled her desire to learn.
She had that feeling when she saw Aurelion practicing at the academy.
Aurelion's progress is simply too fast.
Although she herself didn't know why she was so anxious, she just didn't want to lose to Aurelion.
"Let me see this magic..."
The book's dry and difficult writing style made her feel that it was complicated and hard to understand.
So she didn't notice that the door had been opened at some point.
Footsteps sounded softly behind her, and a slender, pink finger moved across the pages of a book.
“Here, the runes need to be reversed.”
"If we use runes directly, the entire formation will become extremely unstable, making it impossible for the elements to coordinate."
Hearing the familiar voice, Erica looked up.
They met those fluorescent yellow eyes.
Hene looked at her and smiled slightly.
"Long time no see, Erica."
