I will be crowned king

Chapter 422 You...you can give it a try

The wind is howling.

The heavy rain poured down accompanied by bursts of thunder. The ink-like raindrops stirred the boiling waters, constantly raising waves mixed with milky white foam, and then fell to pieces.

In the turbulent sea tide, an extremely small figure appeared, looming like duckweed among the huge waves rolling up and down, sometimes disappearing; like a small sampan in a heavy rain, a wave will shatter it to pieces.

But if you get closer and observe carefully, you will find that the huge waves will disappear silently before touching this small figure; it is as if you can see the hyenas being retreated by the hunters step by step. At the same time the dogs barked.

That was a young girl.

She looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a slightly mature navy blue empire-style dress, a tight-fitting sleeveless sling top, and layers of petticoats, which revealed her childish side; Under the brown curly hair is a pair of emerald eyes set on the white cheeks.

The girl plays with the delicate parasol in her hand, as if walking along the garden corridor; her cute low heels turn the violent sea water into the soft carpets and tiles of the palace hall, jumping and jumping.

"This is really...a grand welcome ceremony."

The girl with a bright smile put the parasol close to her exposed collarbone and praised the waterfall of rain: "It makes people feel flattered."

boom--

The moment the words fell, pale white thunder fell from the sky, exploding loudly in the boiling waves.

The unmoved girl continued to jump forward; the howling wind kept tearing her petite body, but even the delicate parasol in her hand could not move, and even her delicate curly hair could not be touched.

"Why?"

The girl looked at the calm sea water under her feet in surprise. Her shoes had submerged at some point, as if some force wanted to drag her into the unfathomable seabed.

No...it's not that I'm trying to pull myself in, but something is trying to...

come out.

boom--

Another bolt of lightning pierced the sky and fell into the rolling sea water.

The girl holding a small parasol stopped and looked at the sea water under her feet with her big curious eyes. The rolling waves suddenly began to roll up like a whirlpool, pushing the waves on both sides higher and higher.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

Lightning continued to fall one after another, forming a ring on the sea, enveloping the vortex rolled up by the waves.

A faint blue light overflowed from the depths of the sea, and it seemed like some kind of solidified malice was spreading outwards. The entire water area became filled with indescribable uneasiness, as if it was being peeped by existence from another level. , manipulate, seduce, spread unspeakable fear and anger.

The girl still smiled, standing gentle and virtuous in the seawater that had submerged her calves, quietly staring at the strange seabed.

It's like a guest who comes to visit, waiting to be greeted by the host.

Soon, everything around me began to change gradually...the raindrops that beat the keyboard crazily, the huge waves that beat the drums, and the howling wind sang loudly with the accompaniment of thunderous strings, all converging into a movement that opened the door to another world. .

Its name is...the Sea of ​​the Deep Abyss.

The dark door was opened, and with the green light shining on the girl, His voice came from the end of the unfathomable sea:

"Luh-n--!!!"

………………

boom--

Exploding thunder illuminated the sea swept by heavy rain, and the roaring wind rolled up and down the waves; the entire Clovis fleet rose and fell between waves one after another, just like climbing over mountains and ridges.

Facing the sea breeze covered with rain, William Cecil with a solemn expression stood beside the helmsman, looking at the sailors on the deck who were busy under the command of the boatswain, first mate and second mate.

"Captain, get back to the cabin quickly!"

The helmsman, who was firmly holding the rudder, shouted. The wind and waves in his mouth made him struggle to make a sound: "It's too dangerous on the deck!"

As for the identity of this "Lord Captain", all the crew members on the Crown are very clear. As Commodore Taro Cecil's subordinates, they know very well what their old boss wants to do.

Their mission is to cooperate with their old boss to ensure that the "Captain" is in a safe position and can command the Crown back to North Port unscathed.

"Why was there no prior notification?"

Holding on to his three-cornered hat and the hilt of the sword at his waist, William seemed to have no intention of leaving with a calm expression: "Even if it is too sudden and there is no time to escape, at least you can prepare in advance - why didn't the navigator do it in advance?" Report?!”

"I don't know. Maybe he didn't expect it to come so soon, right?"

"Impossible!" William flatly rejected:

"If you were a lookout on an ordinary cruiser, you might have made a mistake; but this is the Crown. You are all old sailors who have followed my father for many years. How could you make such a low-level mistake?!"

"There is only one possibility - this is not an ordinary storm, which is why the pilot was unable to give a warning in advance because what happened completely went against his common sense!"

After the words fell, the helmsman showed a horrified expression: "You, you mean..."

William and the helmsman looked at each other with solemn expressions, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was trembling slightly.

"boom--!!!!"

Thunder exploded above the two of them, revealing two faces full of panic.

Before William could say anything else, screams suddenly rang out one after another on the deck; the heart-rending screams could be heard clearly even through layers of rain.

"Ahhhhh...that, that's not..."

"Don't be stunned there. Someone come and help me!"

"Lookout hand, where is the lookout hand?!"

"Edward! Edward...he...how did he..."

Edward? !

William, who heard the navigator's name, had no time to think and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the commotion.

Then...he froze.

On the panicked deck, Edward, the lookout in navy uniform, was hung upside down from the main mast by a long cable; the rope was tightly wrapped around his right leg that was twisted out of shape, his chest was sunken, and his right arm and neck were turned upside down. .

The body, washed over and over by the rain, hung in the air, "gently" beating the mast with the undulating wind and waves.

Snap, snap, snap...

Thick plasma gushes out from the shattered back skull and sprays onto the sails of the Crown.

William stared blankly at the scarlet that was quickly washed away by the rain. He couldn't believe that Edward, the uncle Edward whom he respected so much, could not maintain his balance on the slippery deck and mast. He lost his footing and was caught by the cable. Breaking all the bones in the body alive.

He's not even the only one.

Immediately following the pilot, the Crown's lookouts fell from the lookout one by one; some hung upside down on the mast, some broke their necks on the deck, and some had their spines strangled by cables... forming a variety of forms, A strangely shaped reverse cross.

Without exception.

……………………

"You actually know me?"

Standing in the center of the storm, Thalia stared at the bottomless darkness, and chuckled with great surprise: "The last time someone from the Luen family was outside was a hundred years ago... Where did you come from?" Where did you hear this name?"

"Or...are you an old friend of my father's? Well...unlikely...he told me personally that all his friends either died in the hands of other guys or died in his own hands."

The girl held her chin, feeling deeply confused.

The violent sea water began to boil, and a roar came from the bottom of the abyss with green light again:

"roll--!!!!"

"This is the place of exile for Chaos, traitors who do not belong to the Lord of Blood Magic!"

"Go back to your world and never dream of setting foot on the land of rest!"

It was a sound that was beyond the language that humans could understand and was not a sound that actually existed. It was as if there was a huge gill sac spitting out foul-smelling pus in the girl's skull, conveying Him through corrosion and lumps of disgusting colors. intention of.

"……puff!"

The girl laughed out loud, and at the last moment when she was about to become unladylike, she covered the corners of her grinning lips, revealing the red dimples on her cheeks.

"He is really a grumpy gentleman...Although I already knew that I might not be popular, I didn't expect the reaction to be so strong."

Thalia shook her head: "As a janitor, you can't be so rude, otherwise others will think you are ignorant."

"Even if you must refuse, you should be polite, express your regrets very sincerely, and send a gift of apology and best wishes before leaving. This is the way to treat guests."

"Rejecting a guest rudely is worse than a beast... Do you understand?"

Staring into the abyss of the sea, the girl's expression gradually became colder.

The waves are still roaring.

"Maybe there is some kind of misunderstanding between us." Thalia suddenly changed the topic, playing with the parasol with her little hands, her pupils had turned bottomless scarlet:

"The Rune family has no hostility towards the great Lord of the Abyss and everyone in the Land of Rest... We are not here to harm you, on the contrary, we are here to find friends."

"The false gods of the self-proclaimed Ring of Order have occupied most of the land in the Old World, spreading their stench-filled ideas. We have been defeated step by step, retreating step by step, and only by resorting to compromise can we gain a little bit of dignity that is left. .”

"If we let them continue to develop, it will only be a matter of time before they erode your world." Thalia said softly:

"In fact, they are already doing this... aren't they?"

The deep sea is silent, and there is only constant thunder in the strong wind.

"There is not much time left... This is true for you and me. If we continue to delay, even a dignified death will become a luxury; they will deny us, obliterate us, distort and confuse the great era of the three old gods, and let Later generations mistakenly thought it was just a 'wonderful' legend, a legend that could never be proven."

"But now, we still have a chance... and a chance to regain the 'big plan' and restore the glory of the three old gods."

Following the girl's words, the sea water suddenly began to boil violently.

"traitor----!!!!"

"Yes, we are traitors." The girl's expression was calm:

"But I'm really curious. Apart from the poor elves, how many followers of the true God are not among the 'traitors'?"

"When I was very young, my father showed me a picture that I still remember vividly - the three true gods sharing a feast with their most devout believers; the believers feasted on the delicacies while being greedy. Behold the flesh and blood of the true gods."

"That's us, isn't it?"

“Who can resist the desire to achieve extraordinary things when seeing a higher level of existence?”

“Who would be willing to stoop when he realizes that he can achieve perfection?”

"After tasting that incomparable taste, who can suppress the instinctive impulse?"

"No...no one can do it." There was a hint of joy in the girl's expression:

"That's why they are the true gods. They must be the true gods."

"But now, the Fallen have banded together, united under a false god, to kill us all - you must know this, and you must have felt it."

Thalia stared into the deep sea with a confident curve on her lips, hoping that the other party could feel her sincerity, because she was really, really sincere.

The most important thing is that no one in this world can reject the sincerity of the Luen family, even...them.

The posture was so low that Thalia was even a little afraid that her father would be angry because of this. After all, even when he was about to lose in the decisive battle with August, he never surrendered to his best friend.

Normally this behavior is called stubbornness, but since Rune was the winner in the end, it is called "unyielding".

Every time she thought of this, Thalia couldn't help but imagine that it would be great if it was her father who lost in the first place, so that now she could legitimately stay by her dear Anson's side, instead of Lisa having to worry about them all day long.

The life of being carefree and being cared for and cared for by others all the time is really... wonderful.

"boom--!!!!"

The next moment, dozens of thick tentacles suddenly burst out of the waves around the girl, attacking her from different directions.

Thalia seemed completely unaware, her scarlet pupils still filled with bubbles of happiness.

Puff puff--

The wriggling tentacles suddenly stopped in mid-air and began to twitch violently. Yellow-green pus and blood spurted out from their front ends with an overwhelming momentum, rapidly withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The huge waves hit, and the drained rotten flesh was torn apart, leaving not even the residue, floating in the turbulent sea water.

But the beings lurking in the deep sea didn't pay attention to this. Tentacles with strong malice pierced the sea surface again, opening their bloody mouth to the cute girl, revealing brown fangs covered with parasites.

"Are you trying to... stop me?"

The girl was startled at first, as if she had seen the most incredible thing in the world, and then she showed a bright smile - just like a rose blooming in the cold winter:

"you……"

"You can give it a try!"
