As they chatted, seeing that everyone was getting familiar with each other, Mozo suddenly asked:
"I remember reading that the Sea Capital is a place where fishing is very prosperous. Why don't you continue fishing?"
The overly wealthy clergyman and the fisherman who suddenly changed his career made Mozo want to learn more about what happened in the Sea City.
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly without thinking:
"The fishing industry in the Holy City and its twelve satellite cities is indeed booming. But that is not a boom for fishermen like us who only have small boats. There are not many fish to catch in the waters near the Sea City and its satellite cities."
Just one sentence made Mozo's heart beat faster. There were no fish to catch near the sanctuary of the goddess of the sea? !
Overfishing and the end of the fishery was common knowledge in Mozo's previous life and in many places in this world, but it definitely did not apply to the City of the Sea, because this was the sanctuary of the goddess of the sea!
This is as terrifying as the goddess of wealth being short of money!
You should know that one of the honorific names of the Goddess of the Sea is the Protector of the Sea People.
She is the goddess of the sea and also the goddess of fisheries. How could the fishing industry be cut off near her sanctuary
The middle-aged man didn't notice and continued:
"The reason why our fishing industry is still prosperous and exporting is that we rely on the great fleets that continue to go out to sea. Ah, look over there, that's one of the great fleets coming back from deep-sea fishing!"
Mozo looked in the direction of the other party's finger, and sure enough, he could see a majestic fleet passing by.
Mozo even saw that they were towing a giant fish of strange shape at the end of the fleet. It was so big that it required three large ships to pull it together.
The middle-aged man looked at the other person with some envy:
"Only a large fleet of that size can safely sail across the ocean and bring back a large harvest. Otherwise, it can only operate in the coastal waters blessed by the church."
Hearing this, Mozo was surprised again:
"Can't your boat fish in the open ocean? I see your boat is not small. It should be able to carry enough food and fresh water, right?"
The middle-aged man’s boat was called a small boat, but in fact it was almost as big as the yacht of the rich man in Mozo’s previous life.
Such a ship would still be feasible unless it was too far out in the ocean.
And what does it mean that only large fleets of that size can safely sail across the ocean
Are the followers of the Ocean Goddess no longer able to travel freely in normal sea areas? !
The sea is very dangerous, but after the appearance of the goddess of the sea, except for a few special sea areas, the rest of the sea areas are no longer unspeakably dangerous places. As long as you offer sacrifices and pray to the goddess, anyone can smoothly embark on an ocean voyage!
Even when he is still around, as long as you can praise the Storm King and praise him extremely well, you can also receive the goddess's highest protection and blessing for free!
There was a popular saying at the time: Offer penance and praise to the king, and the goddess will bless you!
Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled helplessly:
"This is not a problem of food and water. This is a problem of weather and the monsters in the water. For an ordinary person like me, if it's just the unpredictable weather, I can still give it a try, but those monsters in the water are not something I can handle..."
Even the land that is populated by humans and various intelligent races is still full of dangerous monsters, so the same is true for the vast and uninhabited ocean.
But, this shouldn't be the case!
"Why don't you pray and offer sacrifices to the goddess? After receiving the goddess's blessing, will any monster dare to attack you?"
After Hevis appeared, the monsters in the sea were put into shackles. Normally, even the heretical monsters belonging to various great ones would not attack the fishing boats blessed by the goddess.
Because that would be more trouble than gain.
The rest of the normal "monsters" would not attack the fishermen blessed by the goddess. And after the ancient dragon war, the goddess should have completely tamed the sea and the sky.
Why should he worry about the weather as well as the monsters
Could it be that...
Just as Mozo had worried, the middle-aged man touched the little guy's head lovingly and whispered to Mozo:
"Her Majesty Hevis has stopped responding to us."
When the middle-aged man's words reached Mozo's ears, the Sea City, which was lying on the ground with the remains of the ancient dragon and transformed into a city wall, also broke through the fog that had been covering its majestic structure.
Her miraculous brilliance and stunning scenery were fully displayed before Mozo's eyes.
This was an infinitely beautiful and majestic sight, but at the moment Mozo had no intention of appreciating it at all.
152 If you want
Does Hevis no longer care about the human world and believers
No wonder I have seen so many strange things along the way, no wonder those clergymen can be so luxurious, no wonder the fishermen near the Sea City can no longer make a living by fishing, and no wonder I have never been able to see the glory of the Sea City before.
The glory of the goddess has left her earthly kingdom.
What remains here now is nothing but an illusion called the past.
It was also when Mozo was silently looking at the Sea City that the three girls in the cabin came out one after another. Once they walked out of the deck, even the two knight girls looked at the sacred Sea City and exclaimed in amazement.
Even though the glory and gaze of the goddess have long gone away from here, the former splendor and grandeur of the Sea City are still enough to easily impress anyone who sees it for the first time.
Miss Knight walked to the fence in amazement, looked up at the huge ancient dragon's remains and the Sea City that had become one with it, and said:
"Even the Fog City is far less magnificent and spectacular than this city. In the past, I always thought that the capitals of the world could only be like the Fog City at most."
When the little guy heard this, he raised his head proudly:
"Of course, the Holy City is the kingdom of Her Majesty the Goddess! I heard from the teacher that it took many years of concerted efforts to build it!"
The little guy didn't seem to be very good at speaking, but he still easily told the ultimate reason why the Sea City was so majestic and boundless - this was the goddess's kingdom on earth.
It is the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of the Sea.
Even if the god himself has never taken the trouble to maintain his kingdom on earth, his believers will spontaneously develop and repair it into a first-class place of miracles.
With the accumulation of time and the call of faith, countless legends and feats will inevitably be born here, so it is almost inevitable that the City of the Sea will surpass other capitals.
In the few words they exchanged, Mozo had already hidden his thoughts and worries very well.
Then he walked to Miss Knight with an expressionless look, looked at Hai Zhidu and said with a smile:
"This is indeed a very miraculous and magnificent city. But there are many similar places in this world. For example, Rivendell, the miracle nestled under the Twin Sacred Trees, which belongs exclusively to the Sun King. Or the Eternal City in the Duzer Dynasty, which was designed by the gods themselves and given to the King of Light to symbolize their eternal love.
"There is also the Copper and Iron Castle hidden deep in the mountains and buried deep underground by the Lord of the Dwarves, King Ironheart. And the White City that is said to have long disappeared in shadows and flames cannot be forgotten either."
"Oh, and there's also the Rose King, whose existence is still unknown, and his quiet city of Grandriel, which is hidden deep in legends."
"But since we've mentioned the earthly kingdom of the gods, we should also mention the miracle that only belongs to mortals—the Tower of Babel that disappeared into history before it was completed!"
"In addition to these, there are many other great places. They are all witnesses to the union of the gods and kings, and are also the resting places that mortals yearn for and pursue throughout their lives."
Listening to these great places that I had only heard of in legends and myths.
Miss Knight's eyes also revealed boundless yearning that could not be suppressed. She and her cousin Catherine were both keen on stage operas that only little girls liked, or they both yearned for the epics and legends of those heroes.
The places in the world where the most heroes and epics were born are naturally these great places that witnessed the birth of gods and kings.
Miss Knight said from the bottom of her heart:
"If I could, I really want to visit them one by one. I really want to see these great capitals with my own eyes!"
Mozo also nodded in agreement.
Yes, almost all of these places have an inexplicable relationship with him. Although he keeps his distance from them, at the same time, he knows that the countless dream operas he has experienced are real.
Mozo also longed to visit all these great places that had only appeared in his dreams.
So Mozo naturally stretched out his hand and placed it on her face and looked at Miss Knight and said seriously:
"If you want, I hope to witness and go through this with you."
"Whether it's the Miracle City under the Twin Sacred Trees, the Colorless City buried in history, or the Eternal City of the King of Light, or any other great place, we can go and see them all if you want."
“These magnificent cities are certainly fascinating, but it would be too boring to go there alone.”
"We have gone through a lot of things and experiences together, but I think we should do more of this. In this way, I believe that countless years later we will have many memories worth savoring quietly."
"Of course, it all depends on you, my lady."
Miss Knight is a very good friend of Mozo. If possible, Mozo would like to walk with his friend and witness everything he has seen.
As soon as Mozo's words came out, Audrey froze in her place. Why did he suddenly say this? Did this guy really understand what these words meant? Or did I miss something without knowing it
Verdani's expression remained normal, but if one paid more careful attention, one would notice that her body seemed to be more like a sculpture than a human at this moment.
I feel a little confused...
Obviously speaking of status, Jasmine Windsor is an excellent lady who is very suitable for the young master, and if the feud between the Wolf and Rose families could end with the union of the descendants of both families, it would surely be a story that would be passed down for a long time.
But my heart is so confused
The difficulties that Miss Knight had encountered in the past happened to Verdani again.
Everything should be beautiful and should be blessed as a matter of course, but my heart is so confused.
The knight lady who was suddenly attacked by Mozo looked at Mozo in a daze. After a long while, she turned around hurriedly, pretending to fix her hair.
After turning around, the knight lady with her back to Mozo had an extremely rosy face and gently touched her heart.
My heart is beating so fast.
My face is really hot.
But even so, she did not forget to bow her head and say:
“It’s my pleasure...!”
Mozo withdrew his hand with satisfaction. It seemed that Miss Knight finally noticed that her hair was messed up by the sea breeze.
Fortunately, I am a man, so I don’t have to worry about the sea breeze messing up my hair.
The middle-aged man who was operating the steering wheel looked at Mozo with admiration and kicked his son:
"You little bastard, why don't you learn from this? If you learn, you will definitely find a good wife in the future!"
The little guy, who was suddenly kicked by his father, immediately pouted angrily.
Why is he thinking about finding a wife when he is so young
But before the little guy could speak, he noticed that the wind direction and the sky had changed. The little guy looked up at the dark clouds that were slowly covering the sky and said:
“The world has changed!”
The middle-aged man also nodded in agreement:
“The world has changed!”
153 Broken statue of a suspected king (4.5k)
After saying that, the middle-aged man asked the little guy to get his raincoat and shouted to Mozo and the others:
"Dear guests, the weather has changed. Let's hurry to the cabin! The Holy City looks close, but it's actually a while away. This city is really too big!"
Mozo looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and after a sudden palpitation for no apparent reason, he returned to normal again for an even more inexplicable moment.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, he came up with nothing and then asked the three girls to go into the cabin.
After all, there are many powerful enemies who want him dead... .
But the strange thing is that this time the weather changed only the sky color, and there was no violent storm or rainstorm.
But even so, the fisherman and his son only lamented that they had wasted their time and effort in wearing raincoats. After all, it is normal for the weather to be unpredictable on the sea.
If it happened near the Sea City, it wouldn't be too outrageous, such as causing huge waves that could blow even giant ships into the sky.
Even though the Goddess rarely responded to the prayers of mortals, this definitely did not mean that She was gone. Moreover, there were still a large number of High Sequences in the Sea City.
If the Goddess doesn't want to intervene, it's true that the High-Sequences in the deep sea outside the Sea City are out of reach, but it won't cause unrest near the Sea City.
-
Far ahead of the boat that Mozo and his companions were riding, in the sea area that was already close to the City of the Sea.
Kurt Wynn, a new generation of green mask accompanied by the old knight, was looking at the miraculous city in front of him with admiration.
Especially the huge ancient dragon lying on the city wall. Its completely petrified holy remains and the towering city wall beneath it perfectly formed a feast that was extremely shocking to mortals' vision!
Even Kurt, who called himself the future Green Angel, was shocked beyond words. On the contrary, the old knight stood behind Kurt without saying a word.
This made Kurt a little curious and said:
"Don't you think this scene is very shocking?"
