Chapter 312 The Girl Who Wanted to Be a Count
The Temple and the Sea Clan signed the Treaty of Hania. This news remained unknown to outsiders for a long time until the two Sea God Temples in Hania and Parma were quietly completed. Only then did people realize that the Sea Clan, who had disappeared for a hundred years... had returned.
Another covert operation carried out by the Temple, which involved countless people, was classified as top secret and eventually buried in the dust of history.
All branches of the temple in its sphere of influence received a secret order to thoroughly search for clues about the appearance of mermaids in recent years and to find a man who was different from others.
That man must have mysteriously disappeared for a few days in the next few years. When he returns, his physical condition will change drastically. He should become very young and energetic. After all, mermaid royalty are very generous after awakening. The Fountain of Life will only appear in the hands of ordinary mermaids at this time. There is only one drop in a lifetime, which is used to compensate the precious body of the awakened partner.
The Fountain of Life is the substance with the strongest life force in the world. The life force contained within it will continuously replenish the body of the user for a long time. As long as it is seen by the high priests and knights in the temple, they will definitely be able to detect his abnormality.
The Temple took this operation very seriously, but what they didn't expect was that Qin Mo, who sacrificed herself for the awakening of the Sea Queen Shia, had not consumed the Fountain of Life, nor was she in the Mediterranean coast and *** territory areas that the Temple was focusing its search on.
Qin Mo followed Saintess Heatherine across the mouth of the Vistula River and continued sailing north, where the number of ships on the sea suddenly decreased.
"Kelly, why are there suddenly no more boats? Are we about to reach the front lines?"
"I haven't traveled this sea route either, but most ships go into the Vistula River to Warsaw. Those that continue sailing forward are warships heading to the front lines. It's still too cold this season, not yet time for a major war, so very few transport ships go north."
Kelly stood next to Qin Mo, glancing at him every now and then when he wasn't looking.
Time on the ship was boring, and since Qin Mo had nothing else to do, she did a lot of things to strengthen their relationship. Now Kelly is wearing a thick trench coat designed by Qin Mo, which makes her look fashionable, elegant, and energetic.
"From now on, we will enter the warning zone. The Rakshasa warships may appear at any time. Everyone will take turns on guard duty until we reach the Riga Fortress." Saintess Heatherine came to the deck and instructed the six inner temple practitioners.
"Riga, I never thought I'd end up at this port, but in this unusual way—through time travel, hehehe!" Qin Mo suddenly remembered something and chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Riga is located at 56 degrees 58 minutes north latitude and 24 degrees 08 minutes east longitude. Qin Mo remembered these coordinates because Riga in her previous life was famous for one thing: it was a place that many men longed for.
Latvia was once a member state of the Soviet Union and gained independence after its collapse. Latvia has a severely imbalanced male-to-female ratio, and many outlandish legends circulate about it in Qin Mo's past life, such as polygamy and the possibility of one man marrying ten women.
Although these legends may have some exaggeration, Qin Mo clearly remembers one thing: a tall and pretty Latvian woman appeared on the "Avenue of Stars" program, and her boyfriend was a Chinese chef. Her unpleasant appearance really puzzled Qin Mo at the time. Later, she learned that men were definitely in high demand in the eyes of Latvian beauties.
Riga is the capital of Latvia.
The Temple's carracks sailed steadily toward Riga Fortress, expecting to enter the Gulf of Riga on the morning of the third day and arrive at Riga Fortress, the largest fortress of the Western Allied Forces in the Baltic Sea, in the afternoon.
Of the six cultivators in the inner sanctum, none of them except Qin Mo had ever been involved in naval warfare. When they heard Saintess Heatherine say that they might encounter Rakshasa warships at any time, they were all extremely excited and wished that ten or eight Rakshasa warships would immediately surround them and bring them enough merit.
The next day, they didn't encounter any ships all day, not even a single transport ship from the Western Continent, which greatly annoyed the cultivators who had been excited all day.
On the morning of the third day, it was Qin Mo's turn to be on duty. Whenever he was on duty, Kelly would come and teach him Latin. The two of them kept each other company, and staying at the top of the mast in the cold night was no longer so difficult.
"Qin Mo, have you ever experienced naval battles?" Kelly, wearing a thick trench coat and a mink hat, blinked her big eyes as she practiced her spoken English with Qin Mo.
"We've been through this a few times. It's a bit different from land battles, but with Princess Heatherine on the ship now, unless a great witch appears on the other side, they pose no threat to us at all."
Qin Mo didn't have high hopes for the naval battle, because as long as Heather exuded her aura, the enemy would inevitably retreat. The sea is not like land; no matter how fast she was, she couldn't catch up and wouldn't be able to gain any merit.
"Unless the other side truly has a powerful figure like a Great Witch, Princess Heatherine will not take action. She also wants us to gain more merit, since everyone has come all this way here for the sake of merit."
Qin Mo nodded silently. Cultivating in the inner hall requires merit points to exchange for priority access to study those advanced texts. To obtain a fiefdom and become a noble in the secular world, the required merit points are even greater. As the leader of the inner hall, the Holy Maiden also needs to consider the well-being of her subordinates.
"Kelly, how many merits do you plan to accumulate during your trip to the North? Or how many more priority selections are you still lacking?"
“I actually have two more chances to choose. I came here to hunt orcs not for the chance to choose, but to accumulate a title.”
