I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 336 - 330 Hunting Begins!

Giant Horn Island Harbor,

Patrick, dressed in a simple brown tunic, had neatly trimmed, slightly curled black hair. His solid muscles stretched the fabric taut, and his intense aura made the ordinary folks working nearby feel a chill in their hearts, daring not to meet his gaze.

As a Druid proficient in "Natural Transformation," Patrick didn’t need to wear armor; normal equipment would be useless after his transformation.

After Patrick disembarked from the "Hurricane," a stream of figures followed, in such a rush that they didn’t bother waiting for the gangway to be properly lowered.

"Boss Patrick, we’re going off to have a blast first~"

"Heh heh, boss, wanna have a drink together tonight?"

"I’m gonna give Rui Ji a real show of my virility!"

"Yeah right, you better hurry before someone else snatches away your sweetheart and you end up stunned."

...

Patrick nodded slightly, watching his men split into groups and head toward the small town by the harbor, their minds seemingly preoccupied with nothing but women and wine.

But he didn’t mind; as long as they obeyed orders on the ship, he didn’t care what they did with their time and couldn’t be bothered to manage them.

His choice to dock here was not only to resupply and let his crew of pirates let off steam, but he also had more important matters to attend to.

Giant Horn Town, Storm Tavern, second floor.

Patrick relaxed in this private and luxurious room. The sofa, meticulously made from small cowhide, enveloped his body, and beneath his feet lay an exquisite, luxurious golden-threaded red carpet. A faint fragrance from the Elf Forest of the south lingered in the air.

Although Giant Horn Island was in the Treasure Pearl Sea, the pleasures here were no less than what the Kingdom Nobles of Boditch Kingdom enjoyed. Judging by Patrick’s demeanor, he had grown accustomed to such luxuries.

He swirled a bottle of Paté champagne from the south of Boditch Kingdom, watching the golden liquid roll inside. Without a glass, he simply brought the bottle to his lips and drank directly from it.

"You still fancy champagne so much, why not try something else?"

"I’ve got ice wine from Dillon Kingdom, you know. They’ve recently opened a sea route to Boditch, and quite a few things have been selling like hotcakes!"

Someone pushed the door open and entered, shaking their head as they looked at Patrick.

This person seemed quite familiar with Patrick.

"Cut it out, Jesaya, just spit out whatever you want!"

"I know, I know, I’ll keep an eye on those ships from Dillon Kingdom. Don’t worry."

Without lifting his head, Patrick responded casually. As a Gold-level professional, he had sensed the newcomer approaching from afar but didn’t mind due to their familiarity.

Moreover, he was here to see Jesaya in the first place.

"Hey, it’s just seeing those folks from Dillon Kingdom making a fortune that gets me a bit excited!"

Jesaya said with a laugh, holding a bottle of dark red wine, and took a seat opposite Patrick, pouring and drinking on his own.

"You know, the Church’s plans in Feis Kingdom fell apart, and only the Divine Envoy survived. It’s been a real blow to us."

Jesaya was also a member of the All Beast Church, and while not as strong, his position within the Church wasn’t much lower than Patrick’s.

His recent arrival in Boditch Kingdom was to clear up the mess; he was to re-establish the secret arrangements of the All Beast Church along the East Coast, taking the burdens off Patrick’s shoulders.

After all, Patrick’s pirate ship was an important source of funding for the All Beast Church. And because of this, the Church had entrusted the precious Extraordinary Magic Ship "Hurricane" to Patrick’s command.

However, the Church hadn’t anticipated that their nearly certain plot in Bright City would fail so utterly.

Not only was the incarnation of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts slain by those detestable Legends, but all the Gold-level professionals who had gone to Bright City were wiped out in one fell swoop.

This was undoubtedly a massive blow to the All Beast Church; it was not just about losing manpower—the many Extraordinary Magical Beasts that had been painstakingly collected as offerings for the Church were also lost in vain.

Patrick took a big gulp of the wine, his expression darkening.

The loss of the Magic Beasts alone was equivalent to working for nothing in his decade-plus career as a pirate.

If not for the fact that Bright City was the Royal Capital of Feis Kingdom, and both the Royal Family and the Dawn Church had Legendary Strongmen at the helm, he would have charged in to create havoc by now, given his temperament.

"Sigh~"

"A bunch of waste, that Petar too!"

Jesaya, paying no heed to Patrick’s fury, savored the dark red wine as it unfolded on his taste buds, carrying hints of sunlight and earthy aroma in his mouth, and he nodded in contentment.

"What’s done is done, complaining won’t help."

"Even Elvin was quite angry, but that still doesn’t change the outcome."

"You think Feis Kingdom and Boditch Kingdom are the same. It’d be great if we could succeed, but there’s no helping failure."

At the mention of Elvin’s name, Patrick immediately straightened up and asked cautiously:

"Does the teacher have any tasks for me?"

"Nothing much, Elvin has said you’ve been doing well, just keep it up."

Jesaya wasn’t surprised, for Elvin was one of the only two Legendary Strongmen of the All Beast Church and also Patrick’s mentor, so Patrick’s response was normal.

Although Jesaya served under the other Legendary Strongman, the leader of the All Beast Church, his relationship with Patrick was quite good, and privately, he didn’t care too much.
