A rare magical miracle in the world-Chapter 855 - 533: I Lost, But I’m Still the Sea King (Seeking Monthly Pass)
"Long time no see, Ogysail." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Saint Aud settled in, his dominance somewhat unexpected by some present: "How did you end up in such dire straits?"
"Got outplayed."
Ogysail: "Now you’re the only brother willing to speak up for me."
Leaning on a strong tree is good for cool shade, Morgan couldn’t beat Ogysail, not only in personal strength but also in terms of allies.
Sigurian advocated for an alliance with Bailuo, even offering the highest sincerity. It seemed like they were at a loss, but in reality, it was Morgan who made a big profit.
A powerful backing in diplomacy can demonstrate its huge impact, as seen by the confidence Saint Aud has brought to Ogysail.
Like the Holy Empire, the Golden Ancient Nation also has three Upper Tier Miracle holders. In fact, although it is said that only one Upper Tier is needed to establish an empire, most have more than one.
The Holy three Upper Tiers, the Golden three Upper Tiers, the Eastern Empire is the same, only the Far North Empire has just two Upper Tier Masters of Miracles.
Regarding the even further south of the Miracle Sea Area, the Southern Continent, news from there has always been scarce due to the early teachings from today’s Northern Continent and the Central Continent, leading to a mainstream attitude where everyone looks down upon the Southern Continent.
"Saint boy," Chubby Simpleton asked: "What do you want to do?"
In the Miracle Mainland, a single word from the Holy Emperor is absolute, but in the Northern Continent, the Empress of the East holds more sway.
"Simply follow the rules."
Saint Aud did not express whose side he was on, he just sat there, silently making everyone consider whether it was worth the risk of offending the other party by continuing to support Bailuo.
Mainly because the strength Bailuo has shown isn’t enough, he has already exposed one Upper Tier and at least two Middle Tiers.
Yet even if Ancient Chronicles has reached Fifth Awakening, the Upper Tier overwhelms a Middle Tier, and with just Old Luwei and others, Bailuo is not yet strong enough to challenge Saint Aud.
"If the elder sister was also at the Fifth Awakening, the scales here would naturally tilt towards Bailuo."
"Which rules?"
"Northern Continent, or Miracle Mainland?"
The Holy Emperor meant to have Saint Aud clarify his position directly, whether he would help Ogysail or not, and to what extent if so.
"That depends on the King of the Northern Sea, his plans," Saint Aud: "As he is from that side, he should decide for himself."
"Saint Aud, bro..."
Ogysail frowned, he understood, Saint Aud was not here to help him, this guy was clearly here to profit from his trouble.
By now, it’s clear Ogysail is being targeted by the kings above the Miracle Mainland.
In terms of strength, with Bailuo’s help, Morgan defeated him, and diplomatically, Ogysail simply couldn’t gain recognition from the land-based kings here.
Even the smallest Brilliant and Azure principalities are genuine lands, a distinction that the four Great Pirate Kings can hardly compare with.
That old saying goes, the Underworld is full of land, but few kings are willing to go there to rule.
Though the Land of Wonders is small, just a few continents worth.
Yet every inch is precious. People who have lived in big cities, even if they go to the countryside, it’s only for vacation, not because they’ve been driven out.
"This isn’t what was agreed upon, Saint Aud."
Ogysail hadn’t expected to be backstabbed here, but Saint Aud didn’t care too much: "There was no helping it, before I came here, I had seen that person from the Eastern Empire.
"Empress of the East?"
As a Master of Miracles herself, yet no matter how you look at it, Ogysail and others cannot compare with Ying Muyao in terms of power or status.
Just as Dong Aolai detests the Empress of the Far North and wishes her an early death, when out in the open, Dong Aolai truly is no match for the Empress of the Far North.
"She’s taking a stance?"
Ogysail also heard recent rumors that Yatun and the Eastern Empire had become quite close.
No, not the Eastern Empire, it should be said they’re close to a particular person.
But this was just a rumor, there hasn’t been anyone confirming this news, especially when the Empress of the East is increasingly hands-off, no one stepped out to clarify.
"Is she also standing behind Yatun?"
If someone else said this, Ogysail would not believe it, but what kind of person is Saint Aud? With his pride, he would under no circumstances make a joke about the Empress of the East.
And for Yatun, the Empress of the East could actually go this far, Ogysail couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of enemy he was really up against.
"Why bother with my little North Sea Kingdom with your capabilities?"
Having the Empress of the East take a stand for him is not something that can be described simply as favoritism, the relationship between Ying Muyao and Bailuo is probably much more complicated than they imagined.
"But if you, brother, are willing to join the Golden Ancient Nation, then this matter isn’t just about you anymore."
Empire, kingdom, principality – these systems of power do have their benefits, advancing and retreating together is the greatest advantage.
As long as the North Sea acknowledges the rule of the Golden Ancient Nation, if Ogysail is bullied, the Golden Ancient Nation has many who are willing to stand up for him, even sending troops to aid him.
"Join the Golden Ancient Nation."
Ogysail had thought about this, but then, his title King of the Northern Sea would become nothing but an empty title.
The ocean is undesirable for rule because of its sparse population, and miracles don’t fall there.
Although odd, it’s true, miracles appearing under the sea are extremely rare and often, even when they do appear, nobody discovers them.
The ocean surrounding the Miracle Mainland is divided into four parts, east, south, west, north.
However, actually, the Eastern Sea and the West Sea are not on the left and right sides of the Miracle Mainland, but rather they split a large part of the southern sea area.
Compared to this, the Northern Sea is truly vast, encompassing the entire southern part of the Golden Ancient Nation and the northern area of the Miracle Mainland, all belonging to Ogysail’s territory.
Such a vast sea area, allowing Ogysail, one of the four rulers of the seas, to occupy it alone, is why the term ’four Great Pirate Kings’ exists.
"Will I still be the King of the Northern Sea then?"
Ogysail was unwilling to accept; he is the King of the Northern Sea, even if only in name, but a pirate symbolizing freedom would in no way accept such a humiliating deal.
"Then there’s nothing I can do, even I am not willing to be an enemy of the Empress of the East."
Seeing that Saint Aud had made his position clear, Chubby Simpleton said, "Since that’s the case, let’s proceed according to the process, the Southern Sea and Northern Sea go to war, the Northern Sea loses. This isn’t according to the rules, but as a private matter, are the two of you willing to sort it out?"
Publicly, the Holy Covenant does not recognize such wars, but Bailuo after all holds the lives of tens of thousands of residents of the Navia Islands, it’s unavoidable.
Therefore, negotiating privately is dealing with them.
How much is the King of the Northern Sea willing to give, to get these souls back from Bailuo?
