Chapter 2680 The Story of the Pirate Crew


    Later that same day, Minos and Abby carried out an appreciably different procedure with Walkas'' remains, awakening the former leader of the pirate crew that owned the previous wooden ship.


    Shortly after the powerful man, 2.3 meters tall, with blond hair and golden eyes, finished understanding his situation, Minos used his powers to summon Wenni from his ck coffin. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Seeing her former leader, one level stronger than her at the moment, with superior vitality, just as Minos had promised, the green-haired woman smiled in a way that was hard to ignore.


    For a moment, Minos and Abby understood what was in the woman''s eyes, sensing the strong feeling that she had for that man.


    "Wenni..." Walkas took the woman in front of him in his arms, a mixed look on his face, marked by happiness at being able to see her again, but also sadness at the way he had let her die.


    "I''m sorry. I wasn''t strong enough," he said to her, momentarily ignoring Minos, Abby, and Tiolos in the room.


    He too had already sworn his oath to the heavens and agreed to the terms that Wenni had already agreed to.


    "No," she said as she shook her head, bringing her hands to Walkas'' face. "It wasn''t your fault. We fought a Leviathan that day. Anyone could die."


    "I should have been the one to die. Back then, I made a lot of mistakes after your death. Tovell died soon after you and the Sea Serpent destroyed us in the name of the Nautilus Compass. In the end, I asked Draea to finish our journey before I died from the wounds caused by that bastard."


    Minos, Tiolos and Abby just listened in silence, with several questions arising in their minds.


    "I see... That''s how he fell. It''s a shame he turned into a ghost. He must have carried a lot of suffering before his death." She closed her eyes as she sighed, understanding a little more about how her crew ended up.


    "Before I died, I asked Draea to take us to our ind and bury us at the foot of the Heavenly Coconut Tree. But apparently she died halfway." Walkas looked at Minos'' group, having already heard from them where they had found him and Wenni.


    Given their location, their ship had probably traveled for millennia before being found by Minos. But none of them had any way of pinpointing exactly how much time had passed. Even with skeletal age dating techniques, the group there only had a rough idea that at least 10,000 years had passed since the death of thest ones they left on the wooden ship.


    But the death of these three old experts could easily have happened over 100,000 years ago!


    "It''s a pity. We almost beat the damned sea," Wenni said, drawing a disapproving look from Walkas.


    "We didn''t evene close."


    "How could we not?" she eximed as she opened her eyes wider. "We got the Nautilus Compass. With it, we should have an ability to travel safely across the Violent Sea like no other crew has ever had."


    "The Nautilus Compass didn''t work in the end. In fact, it was it who brought us face to face with the mighty Sea Serpent. Along with the God of the Leviathans and a legion of Hydras, they destroyed us entirely." Walkasmented as he remembered the formidable enemies that had surrounded him in the past.


    "Hydras? Are there Hydras in the Violent Sea?" Minos couldn''t contain his curiosity when he heard this.


    The two individuals looked at him, nodding positively.


    Wenni said, "Hydras and Leviathans are the dominant beings in the Violent Sea. Other races have powerful members, even if they are smaller. But these two tribes are the most fearsome because of their numbers and special powers.


    Arge part of how dangerous the Violent Sea is, is because of the existence of these two tribes, which are spread over arge area. Only those who bypass the territories of these tribes can sessfully cross the sea and reach Uzira."


    Walkas added, "These two tribes have an old agreement with the sovereign force of Uzira and purposely make the journey between the two continents difficult. If youe across a member of either tribe, run. They''ll do their best to kill you, even if you do nothing against them."


    Wenni continued with what herpanion was saying, "The rulers of Uzira don''t want foreigners on their continent. They don''t even want their brothers, natives of Zocarro, on their continent, and they will make it as difficult as possible to prevent movement between the two continents."


    Minos and Abby looked at each other and couldn''t help feeling worried. They were going to Uzira, so if they were so disliked and hated without even having done anything, what would wait for them?


    "So will arriving in Uzira be as difficult as the journey across the Violent Sea?"


    "Probably more," Walkas, a native of Uzira, said in a sincere tone. "In Uzira, there are peak Supremes and possibly even Celestials. They won''t casually hunt you down if you set foot in Uzira, if that''s your concern. But if you want to take advantage of anything of value there, you''ll have to face toughpetition and many battles. The strongest won''t act directly against you, but they will use you to train their juniors. In the end, you''ll be killed or forced to flee to the sea."


    Against Celestials, there was no fooling around. Once one of these beings decided something, the fate of those involved would be sealed!


    As the three who were making this journey from Oqia to Uzira for the first time looked at them in silence, Wenniughed as she let out a sigh. "Luckily for you, you''ve found us. Our ind will help you with its resources and protection."


    Walkas agreed with his woman. "If you will sail to our ind, you will have a ce halfway between Oqia and Uzira where you can rest and prepare for the more dangerous half of the journey and collect the resources we have hidden there."


    "Resources?" Tiolos asked with a curious look on his face. "Is there anything left? Don''t get me wrong, seniors, but youst passed such a ce a long, long time ago. What guarantee is there that the ce is still standing and hasn''t been taken over by other forces?"


    Walkas looked at Tiolos and said firmly. "The inds of the Violent Sea are not for explorers. The chance of you dying docking on one of these inds is 9 out of 10. Once you get one of them, as we did, the chance of you losing it is almost nil. And even if you do, we know all about the ce and can infiltrate it with a high chance of sess."
