“Angry?” Riverst noticed the anonymous message.
At least in the nameless person's observation, this energy greatly enhanced the zombies' combat power, whether it was healing, defense, or even strength!
This energy is similar to sword energy and martial arts energy, but it is rooted in a system of rules, an unanalyzable new set of rules.
The energy can even be shared with other blue-eyed zombies, but each zombie uses energy in a different way; some choose power, while others choose defense.
It's worth mentioning that Qi grows very slowly, and like magic, it can be consumed!
“It feels like…” Riverst leaned back in his chair, biting his pen, and said, “Because of the curse, Keomi cannot comprehend sword energy, nor can he learn magic.”
"Under pressure, he finally grasped this new rule? A new rule that can simulate sword energy and magic!?"
"It seems he is indeed better than me; he's a genius."
Reeves nodded, his only curiosity being what had happened to Keomi.
Why did he slaughter the crown? Why did he go to such lengths to comprehend the two calamities?
Everything is a mystery...
“Boss…” Kyle put down his work cleaning the sailors’ quarters, brewed a pot of tea, and said in a low voice, “We’re almost at Griffin Island.”
"Finally, I'm home..." Rivers stretched.
He stood up and walked up the stairs leading to the deck, but suddenly lost his balance!
Damn it!
He seems to have forgotten something!
"Ah—Ugh! Ah—" Riverst covered his head.
...
A misty fog... an empty council chamber... a trembling crystal crown... that woman! Only her back is visible!
He knows her! Wait? Who is she?!?
“Rivest, I’ve witnessed your death once again… once more, but this time I won’t interfere… I’m sorry…”
Riverst: "!!!"
Death!? Wait! Wait...
Why?
"Boss! Boss!" Kyle exclaimed in alarm as he helped Riverst up.
Riverst leaned against the wall, covered in cold sweat. Although his body had already begun to transform into a ghost, he hadn't completely become one yet, and he was still sweating.
“Okay, what’s going on?” Rivers touched his chest; he could hear his own heart pounding.
“You almost fell,” Kyle said.
"Really?" Rivers felt himself drifting off. Wait, why was he drifting off?!
"I...I seem to have forgotten something! Has someone tampered with my memories?"
“I didn’t see anyone else,” Kyle said.
"..." Riverst glanced at Kyle, shook his head and said, "Never mind."
In short, I can finally go home!
...
Gentle light caresses the sea, and the golden ocean is perhaps the most beautiful moment one can enjoy in Griffin Harbor.
At the seaside hotels by the harbor, the leisurely wealthy guests had already set up their chairs and were enjoying the moment.
The harbor waiters offer complimentary desserts that would be extremely expensive anywhere else in the world, but are as cheap and common as coconuts here.
Some say that brave seafarers who cross the ocean will eventually reach a carefree paradise, which is probably Griffin Island.
On the horizon, fleets of merchant ships arrived at the port on time, perhaps even larger than yesterday.
How interesting! Perhaps they were regarded as messengers of the gods by some island natives?
After all, the goods were provided completely free of charge by the Griffin family; even exchanging them for a single coconut would be a huge profit!
...
Inside the Griffin family castle, the witch Igor combed her long hair in front of the mirror. She gazed at the sunrise over the harbor, where white gulls in the distance brought new messages.
Riverst must have received his letter. Regardless of his opinion on his deployment of the army, he wouldn't have much resistance once the Black Crown was mentioned.
"The Black Crown should be arriving soon." The witch Igor frowned.
The world barrier had been torn open after the last invasion, so she couldn't pinpoint the exact time of the Black Crown's arrival and therefore couldn't prepare an ambush plan.
But the witch's innate precognitive abilities told her that the Black Crown would arrive soon.
Therefore, Riverst is the most crucial link, and Keomi will definitely target him!
“Well, Riverst isn’t so easy to deal with. The ghosts are practically invincible as long as they don’t encounter Keomi himself,” Igor commented.
After all, that kind of roar is extremely suppressive of the soul, unless... perhaps I should also try to refine some amulets? So that Riverst won't be suppressed later on!
"Hmm, the ghosts can also be used to wear down Keomi. If he uses Roar, a large-scale earthquake will not erupt in a short time, which will be the best time to kill the king."
"Knights killing kings, and kings killing kings, is not a wise thing to do."
At least... that's how Riverst is.
His personal combat strength is too weak, and the benefits provided by Crystal Crown are more inclined towards his followers. It can be said that Rivist's control over the world is absolutely the best among all monarchs of his time!
"Alright, let's do a simple deduction. The pieces I've set up are very tempting." Igor clapped his hands, closed his eyes, and smiled at himself in the mirror.
"Those chess pieces inside the castle..."
The selected islanders were dressed in the finest enchanted armor and longswords, along with a large number of individual enchanted items.
No matter how you look at it, it will definitely be the best container when the time comes!
But could it also be a perfect trap?
“Yes, I will kill them, place them in suitable locations, and launch a surprise attack like last time. I can almost see Keomi getting his comeuppance.” Igor let out a morbid laugh.
"Of course, it would be too bad to execute these warriors at will. Riverst would be unhappy, wouldn't he?"
"So, I already..."
"Thump—" There was a knock on the door, and a soldier wearing full enchanted armor stood outside.
"Miss Igor, your ordered wine has been shipped to the port. Would you like me to send someone to pick it up?"
"Hmph~ I was interrupted while I was talking to myself." Igor was a little annoyed, but still replied, "Then I'll have to trouble Captain Pike to go and get it himself!"
Parker paused outside the door, then pointed to himself: "Me? Am I the only one here, Miss Igor?"
"Of course, who told you to interrupt, pfft... I believe in your physique, after all, you are the powerful Captain Pike~" Ig almost blurted out the truth, then quickly switched to a cute clip voice.
"Yue~" She turned her head and covered her mouth.
I'm sorry, I'm disgusted with myself.
...
The ghostly behemoth slowly docked at the port, and the old captain, Jesse, told Riverst and Kyle about the shortage of supplies.
The long sea voyage had left the ghost ship short of ammunition.
“It’s a pity, today’s funds have already been handed over to Iger, so I can’t replenish them here.” Riverst looked at Kyle and smiled, “Kyle, could you run that errand for me?”
"I was just about to take a walk in the harbor!"
Kyle took the list and asked, "Can't the Ghost Sailors do this job?"
“No, we can’t get ashore.” Old Captain Jessiere shook his head helplessly.
Meanwhile, Riverst stared intently at Kyle...
