Chapter 204 The Island and the Order

Speaking of this, Robert took a deep breath, with a strange expression on his face, and he continued to tell the story of the second-generation captain of the Leon family.

The captain of Little Leon inherited his father's business. He drove the ship left by his father and hired a large number of sailors to continue his pirate career. Overlord, there is no need to raise pirates to rob enemy countries anymore, Little Leon can only switch to maritime trade.

Little Captain Leon’s trade failed. Not only did he not make much profit, but the goods were also backlogged at the bottom of the ship and could not be disposed of. His principal was completely consumed. Since then, Captain Little Leon has been depressed and depressed. Amidst the debauchery, squandering what was left of his father's inheritance on excessive drinking and gambling, it wasn't until he discovered a thing that he began to pull himself together.

It turned out that Captain Leon found the location of the island in the chart left by his father. Out of curiosity and desire for wealth, he set foot on that mysterious route again with a small number of sailors. .

In the autumn of 1859, after passing through squalls and storms and stormy seas capable of capsizing ships, Captain Leon, who had escaped death, finally landed on the island.

This island has a large area, but it is extremely difficult to find. The surrounding sea area is always shrouded in storms. Merchant ships on the route often sink, and no ships pass by over time.

Captain Little Leon met the natives on the island after he went ashore. He found that the natives here looked weird, and they all seemed to be deformed.

According to the description, Mu Lan remembered the appearance of the residents of Herzros Town. They should all look like a combination of aquatic creatures.

In addition, Captain Leon also discovered that the indigenous people here have a high level of civilization. They have a unique calendar, language and religion. It is also the first time that the Leon family has come into contact with the legend of the indescribable god.

The aborigines fanatically believed in this old ruler. They wore silver accessories that were incompatible with their outdated forging techniques, and used the prisoners of war on the surrounding hostile islands as sacrifices, and planed them open on the bloody altar. They danced and danced naked in a frenzied cult ritual.

Although the sacrificial ceremony is very disgusting and disgusting, it is amazing that they seem to have really got the promise of the gods. The fish around the island are so rich that they are inexhaustible. These natives have never Worry about food shortages.

"This is the true God who benefits people! Those mediocre fools only pray to the useless false gods, but they are still poor! They spend their lives drunk with alcohol!" Robert said A passage that my father used to mention repeatedly.

The benefits brought by the old ruler are not limited to this. Captain Little Leon found that the people here have almost stopped aging, and there are no old people among them. According to the chief, apart from the deaths caused by war, they , all attained eternal life.

"Eternal life!" Mu Lan was a little surprised.

"That's right!" Robert continued to recall: "Under the island, in the deep and dark seabed, there are some family members of the gods, called Gadasi, which means stalkers in the deep sea. The natives make deals."

"The Gadassis need a steady stream of human beings as sacrifices to Saratos, who will wake up in the future. In return, they endowed the natives with the power of eternal life."

"How did the natives do it?" Mu Lan asked.

Robert was silent for a moment, and the answer seemed to make him a little hard to say. He rubbed his blue eye sockets, and it took a long time before he said: "Intermarriage."

Mu Lan was a little dumb, she didn't expect this method.

Robert continued: "Because they are the family members of the gods, the aboriginals are keen to intermarry with the Gadassis, and the creatures combined by the two races will have bodies that will not age. From then on, the aborigines of the island have gained eternal life. Collect sacrifices for Gardasi, wage war against hostile tribes in the archipelago, and continuously plunder slaves."

"So." Mu Lan thought of the appearance of the residents of Herzros Town, and a question came to her mind: "What's the price of eternal life?"

Robert smiled bitterly, and said: "Mixed blood will also bring deformed appearance, and the habit of staying in the water like amphibians. These mixed bloods are not like this at the beginning. As they grow older, they will gradually grow like Gadda. Western appearance of that aquatic creature until it finally grows into a full body."

"How do you fully understand it?" Mu Lan asked.

"I will jump into the water and become a member of Galdassi." Robert took a breath.

"Oh my god! How could anyone want to be like that!" Lin Yiyi exclaimed.

"There will be!" Robert said with a wry smile: "My father is one of them. He heard that those humans who transformed into Galdassi can even see their great-great-great-grandfather in the deep sea. They really live forever. , although the price is a bit scary, but eternal life is tempting him."

"If it becomes like that." Lin Yiyi said disgustedly: "What's the point of eternal life, it's so ugly!"

"My father may be crazy." Robert sighed: "I suspect that he joined that evil religion and dedicated his soul to Saratos, so that he can explain why he didn't suffer from the natives , and finally returned intact.”

Robert continued to tell the story, half a year later, the ship returned, and the place where Captain Leon docked was not the busy port he was familiar with, but the little-known remote place of Hezros Town.

At this point in the story, Mu Lan found that there was some deviation from Robert's previous version. In that version, Captain Leon settled here because of his wife.

The way Captain Little Leon brought this remote town to make a fortune—that is, to believe in the Old Ones and become a loyal believer of the Ability God.

Wealth is very attractive to poor fishermen, even if they convert to paganism, under the eloquent propaganda of Captain Leon, the rudiment of the secret religion of the Holy Spirit appeared.

It turns out that this is how the cult group that caused trouble all over Europe was established. Mu Lan became interested. Starting from a small town, it gradually attracted a large number of believers. How did it do all this?
"Because the gods they believe in can really bring benefits!" Seeing Mu Lan's doubts, Robert whispered: "Since they converted to paganism, there have been more fish in the sea. The fishermen in Hezros Town It is many times more efficient than usual fishing! Everyone is rich!"

"When the fishermen in the surrounding areas heard about it, they also wanted to come to share a piece of the pie, but when they cast their nets, they found that the fish in the sea were not as rich as the rumors said. Some people chose to settle here to find out. Most of them People come back in awe."

The whole town began to prosper, and the influence of Captain Leon Jr. also took root in Hezros Town, becoming the person who controlled the wealth and livelihood here. If the story stopped here, the ending would be perfect. thriving
But getting something for nothing comes at a price.
Robert whispered: "The Old Ones are watching everything. One night in June 1860, countless Galdasi climbed onto the beach. It's time for my father to fulfill his promise."
