Enforcer's Handbook

The increasing number of floating objects on the water made the crew of the Church of Tides almost go crazy. He kept pacing on the deck and asked to return several times.

Naturally, it was impossible for the "Emperor" to fulfill his wish, and continued the voyage through verbal and force threats.

This may also be regarded as one of the benefits of being at sea. The crew members on the "pirate ship" could not escape. When the crew members were tired of jumping around on the deck alone, the "Emperor" stepped forward and asked, "What's going on here?" Is the sky over the sea always like this?"

He had never seen such a strange sky anywhere in the "outside world".

The scarlet sky and the ball of light that never seemed to rise in the east or set in the west made it impossible to tell whether it was day or night.

However, he vaguely remembered that the unknown sea he witnessed in the Lingguang Theater Company was not like this.

"No, of course not."

Even the tone of the crew member changed. His eyes wandered back and forth on the ship in surprise, "It's the master, he's angry!"

Even the believers of the Church of Tides have never witnessed with their own eyes what their master looks like when he is angry. Or, to be more precise, the people who endured the master's wrath have long since ceased to exist in this world. They can only read them through the church's classics. I learned some deeds related to the master. According to legend, he once sunk a country to the bottom of the sea, causing their civilization to completely disappear in the long river of history.

"Go back before the master notices us!"

The crew member begged in a tone that was almost pleading.

The "Emperor" ignored his advice again. Seeing that the crew's spirit was on the verge of collapse, he sent them back to the cabin to take a nap.

This journey is still a long one, and it is only the beginning.

Diego stayed at the edge of the deck, looking down at the objects floating toward them on the sea from time to time. This was the instruction given to him by God the Father.

Through the floating wreckage, he could imagine how brutal this battle was.

In addition to the pieces of meat from unknown creatures, many scattered mechanical parts can also be found.

The endless sea made it seem as if they could no longer feel the passage of time. Diego didn't know how long he had been sailing on the sea. He only knew that when this same scene changed, it might have been several hours later. A dazzling ball of light was obscured.

Above the clouds, a huge thing was looming over their heads.

It appeared out of thin air, and that weird steel airship stood upright above the clouds like a throne.

There were constant roars and explosions.

They seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle with an invisible place. The colorful beam weapons once lit up the entire sky. Diego could see that even the fictional special effects in the movie could not reproduce him. The scene seen at this moment, the scattered mechanical parts fell from the airship.

Further forward, the sea surface also changed.

There were countless tentacles, forming defensive arrays.

In a blink of an eye, Diego saw the true face of the enemy fighting the steel airship.

He just opened his eyes, and that eye was enough to cover the entire sky. In front of that eye, the Iron Throne sitting on the clouds was so small.

The "Emperor" also heard the sound and came to the deck and saw everything that was happening at this moment.

He saw something seemed to hit the Iron Throne, and the seemingly indestructible fortress collapsed instantly. The dismantled mechanical parts hit the sea like a heavy rain. Along with the parts, a group of people fell down. Old military robot.

Their bodies are made of metal and are filled with weapons.

When they were about to fall into the sea, the wriggling tentacles caught them. They secreted a corrosive liquid that could dissolve the metal in a few seconds, and then dragged the remaining parts into the seabed like trophies. .

The "Emperor" didn't know where this mechanical army came from, but he knew that they had been defeated.

The disintegrated Iron Throne could no longer maintain itself in the air, and the remaining parts continued to fall downwards under the pull of gravity.

This is a battlefield.

The tentacles that emerged from the sea did not stop moving because of the fall of the Iron Throne. The eyes on the tentacles looked at them.

That's the look in a predator's eyes when he sees his prey.

"It's over, it's too late, everything is too late."

The crew also came to the deck at some point. He fell down on the deck, despair filling his eyes.

He knew what would happen to him and the ship.

These tentacles will eventually devour anything that falls on the surface of the sea.

"Stay on the ship and don't leave."

The "Emperor" warned Diego that as early as when he went to sea, he had foreseen the arrival of all this - those creatures inhabiting the unknown sea might not let them pass through their territory so easily.

"I will cover you through this sea as much as possible... What are you doing?"

He was about to clear a path for the boat, but found Diego standing in front of him. He was holding a bag filled with seaweed rice balls when he went to sea, and poured all the rice balls into the sea along the side of the boat.

This kid...could he be trying to bribe these tentacles with these rice balls?

"Father God asked us to leave quickly. If we stay in this place any longer, his phobia of the deep sea will break out."

Diego earnestly conveyed the latest instructions from God the Father.

Fear of the deep?

Diego's explanation once again exceeded the "Emperor's" expectations. He always felt that the Father God described by the other party was not like a lofty god, but like a living person.

"Did he ask you to throw all these rice balls into the sea?"

"Father God said these are tolls, and this is their territory after all."

The "Emperor" looked down and saw that the tentacles emerging from the bottom of the sea dragged the rice balls into the bottom of the sea. However, they did not seem to be satisfied with this and greedily wrapped themselves around their ship.

The bumpy feeling under the feet only lasted for a few seconds, and then the tentacles turned into powder at a speed visible to the naked eye and dispersed in the air.

The "Emperor" also observed other strange phenomena on the sea and sky.

The mechanical parts falling like rain were frozen in the air, and the rolling waves also stopped. The eyes on the tentacles were still staring at them eagerly, but they just maintained the status quo and never squirmed again.

Only this ship still sails in this still world.

He was in a similar situation when he was in District 1.

"Father God also said that it would be too much to pursue us after collecting tolls."

"What exactly is this... hmm?"

When he finally adapted to the scene before him, he realized that the ship had docked at some point.

The fog obscured their sight, and just like its name, the island was forever shrouded in endless fog.

There was no port on the shore, and not even a shadow of a living creature could be found except them.

The already desperate crew member suddenly jumped up from the deck. He rolled and crawled to the edge, rolled down desperately, and let his body hit the ground heavily. After he staggered up, He rushed into the fog ahead without looking back.

This is the Misty Islands.

The "Emperor" was in a daze. He had never thought that he could reach the other side of the unknown sea so smoothly.

“What does your God and Father say?”

He looked at Diego, curious about the real reason why Father God allowed this orphan to go to the Misty Islands alone.

"He said let's find a place to stay first and he's going to be gone for a while."

"Leave? Why?"

"because……"

Diego suddenly fell into silence, and seemed a little embarrassed to speak. Under the questioning gaze of the "Emperor", he finally said hesitantly, "Because of Father God, he has bent his waist and needs to move his body and take it easy. "

Then, the two of them fell into silence in a tacit understanding and stopped talking. They walked side by side towards the depths of the mist.

It was already more than ten minutes before I met the person again.

Deep in this deserted island, there is a small town. The houses in the town are all simple wooden houses built by people. The structure of the buildings is extremely loose. From a distance, it looks like they were temporarily built by a group of survivors living on a deserted island. 's camp.

Although the people in the town were very surprised by the arrival of the "Emperor" and Diego, they still welcomed them warmly.

According to the people in the town, there are many settlements like theirs on the outskirts of the Misty Islands. The Church of Tides calls these outlying settlements "meat".

When the "Emperor" asked the residents for their names, the residents said that they did not have names and did not need names.

"Meat" is the collective name for these people and also represents their identity.

From the moment they were born, they existed to become sacrifices to the Lord of Tides. When necessary, they would be tied to fishing boats and sent to the sea as sacrifices.

In return, the Tidelord will protect the residents of the Misty Isles from pirates and sea monsters, and allow them to sail freely between the Misty Isles and Silvermoon Harbor.

"But... wasn't the sea monster brought here by the Lord of Tides?"

Diego's eyes widened in surprise.

In his opinion, this cannot be considered asylum at all.

This straightforward rhetorical question caused the residents of the town to panic. They corrected them like a reflex, "No, we have only survived to this day under the protection of our master. We should be grateful."

…

After the residents left, Diego said with a complicated mood, "They are just like the fish that were raised in the port."

It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like to be born without a name and be treated like a sacrifice.

However, looking at everything in the small town, he suddenly understood the true intention of Father God in letting him cross the unknown sea and come to this island.

He looked firmly at the door, "Father God hopes that I will liberate them."
