I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 205 - 62: Fire Seed Ship (2-in-1)

It seems the extraordinary power of this world is truly magical; even the Prophet’s foreknowledge ability has calculated in his possession of such an ability like an item inventory.

"Why must we use the Fire Seed Ship to carry people? Can’t we use regular ships to cross the Penance Strait?"

Rogel raised his question.

In response, the Shadow Leader shook his head, took over from the Prophet, and started explaining to Rogel.

"The Penance Strait is a special terrain that has existed since ancient times. Its peculiarity lies in that small boats are only attacked by powerful extraordinary creatures when passing through, while large ships are directly devoured."

"And the Meteor Floating Sand can ensure that the Fire Seed Ship is not devoured by the power of the Penance Strait, and safely reaches beyond the Penance Strait."

"Is it safe beyond the Penance Strait?" Rogel asked.

"It’s certainly not safe beyond the Penance Strait; it’s filled with extraordinary and bizarre creatures, along with vast unknown territories."

"However, over hundreds of years, quite a few people have ventured out from the Five Major Seas, and they’ve already explored a small part of the unknown territories. Although there’s still danger within those known areas, it’s much better compared to the crisis of the Great Tidal Wave."

The Shadow Leader patiently explained.

Upon hearing this, Rogel nodded thoughtfully: "So...you found me for this kind of transaction?"

"How is this related to the Sword Ceremony?"

"Prince Ladi will receive the recognition of Odaqiro’s Sword and be crowned as King," the Prophet said calmly, his voice filled with certainty.

"Only Prince Ladi can shoulder this heavy responsibility in this time of crisis, leaving a fire seed of humanity for the Five Major Seas."

He spoke in an indisputable tone.

Prince Ladi, that’s Kadi.

As for why the Shadow of the Divine Descendant is so confident about him becoming King, it doesn’t need saying, surely another prophecy by this Prophet or his ancestor.

But truth be told, Rogel still found it odd.

Kadi, that fellow, was always naturally naive while on the Gelin.

And it’s not like he was just pretending.

But he suddenly realized one thing: "So you have contacted him long ago?"

The Prophet nodded: "There was contact, but at that time he wasn’t told much, and he chose to leave the Royal City to wander."

No wonder when Kadi heard the Gelin was going beyond the Penance Strait, he started hesitating.

He must have also made a tough choice between responsibility and freedom.

"The Mother Goddess Church secretly supports the Second Prince Anderson, possibly intending to manipulate the Sword Ceremony, but we won’t let them have their way."

"At that time, there may be war, and currently we don’t have many people, so we wish to ask you to ensure Prince Ladi’s safety."

The Shadow Leader spoke earnestly.

"Do you have the confidence to defeat the Mother Goddess Church?"

Rogel sensed this implication from his words because if the Shadow of the Divine Descendant fails in their war against the Mother Goddess Church, then Kadi coming back later would be pointless.

To this, the Shadow Leader simply nodded slowly.

The Alchemist Su Man, who hadn’t spoken previously, finally spoke: "You can rest assured about this, we will resolve the dispute."

Upon hearing this, Rogel looked at the silent mysterious figure, Ah Zuo.

"So, our transaction is now about bringing back the Meteor Floating Sand from the site of a falling star and protecting Kadi during the war?"

Seeing Rogel’s gaze, Ah Zuo could only chuckle awkwardly.

His task was only to deliver some news to Rogel, and he couldn’t understand the more detailed content.

Fortunately, the Shadow Leader also opened his mouth to explain for him: "Ah Zuo was only carrying the message for us; we didn’t inform him of that much of the inner details at the time."

Upon hearing this, Rogel smiled inwardly.

The Shadow Leader’s reason for keeping the transaction vague with Ah Zuo was surely not so simple.

Presumably, it was to prevent the news from being leaked by Ah Zuo or himself midway.

"If you have any more requests, Captain Rogel, feel free to ask, as long as we can provide them, we will try our best to fulfill."

"But in any case, I hope you will accept this transaction to preserve the fire seed for humanity at the Five Great Seas."

The Prophet stood up and solemnly bowed to Rogel.

The Shadow Leader, the Alchemist Su Man, and the mysterious figure Ah Zuo also stood up at this point.

"Alright, there’s no need for that, I accept this transaction."

Rogel waved his hand.

Even if it was solely for the Apostle Level Magic Potion Recipe, he would accept this transaction.

Moreover, their transaction content hadn’t changed much.

Simply said, it was still about protecting Kadi and exploring the site of a falling star.

"When the Great Tidal Wave comes..." Rogel now seriously looked at them, "are you planning not to escape the Great Tidal Wave?"

At this, the Shadow Leader’s expression didn’t change.

"The Hero King bestowed us the responsibility to preserve the heritage of the Thousand Islands Kingdom and peace in the Five Major Seas, providing humanity with a safe haven to rest and recover."

"As the Shadow of the Divine Descendant, of course we cannot all flee."

"The Fire Seed Ship has limited space, I and Ah Zuo will not leave."

His voice was calm.

The Alchemist Su Man and Prophet Theorid seemed to darken at this, their expressions sad.

Their abilities are very unique and must depart with the Fire Seed Ship.

The mysterious figure Ah Zuo remained expressionless; he seemed to have known about the Shadow Leader’s decision for a long time.

"..."

Seeing the four people before him, Rogel’s heart felt complicated.

"...I have some more questions."

...

On the way back to the Gelin.

Rogel looked at a large number of secret scrolls, formulas, books, and materials within his item inventory, not knowing what to say.

The Alchemist Su Man had given him his accumulated Magic Potion recipes, potion recipes, and notes recorded with knowledge and experience.

He even handed him the Apostle Level Magic Potion Recipe.

The Shadow Leader had given him some magic and combat skill secret scrolls, along with a navigation map of beyond the Penance Strait.

And the Prophet had given him many books on extraordinary knowledge and secrets.

Whether they were trying to use this to win Rogel’s trust, or believed they might have no return in this war...

Clack, clack, clack...

On the way out of the Royal City, a Devoted Knight was leading a squad of believers patrolling on the road.

Rogel glanced at them and then withdrew his gaze, passing peacefully. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The Sword Ceremony was set to start in less than a week, and the Mother Goddess Church was already preparing.

Rogel had also inquired to the Shadow Leader.

If the Mother Goddess Church could truly shield the Thousand Islands Kingdom from the wrath of the Great Tidal Wave, then was there still a need for them to act like this?

The answer the Shadow Leader gave was that regardless of their ability, it would not be possible to entrust the future of the Thousand Islands Kingdom to an outside mysterious church.

Indeed, the Shadow Leader openly stated that the Mother Goddess Church was an external force.

They resurrected using a local church from the Five Major Seas as a shell to become the current Mother Goddess Church.

Adding to that the Mother Goddess Church revealed some eerie clues, which made them even harder to trust.

Before leaving the Royal City, Rogel stood on the slope of the road.

The majestic royal palace stood in luxuriant splendor, the splendid and prosperous tall buildings lined richly, the imposing statue of King Ozyric seemed to stabilize the entire Royal City like a sea anchor.

The broad walls stretched continuously, encircling the entire Central Royal City, seemingly impregnable.

Under the city gate, the flow of people was unceasing; everything seemed to be progressing in a positive direction.

But Rogel’s mind conjured the image of that brilliant sunset atop the sea before diving into the eternal night...

...

Upon returning to the Gelin, Rogel wasted no time and began potion crafting.

Mira’s compatible potion was [Reader].

Noemi’s compatible potion was the [Hunter] given by the Alchemist Su Man.

He also provided Rogel with the corresponding main ingredients for the potions.

This meant Rogel had already gathered all the refining conditions.

What followed was the crafting of corresponding potions for the two crew members, elevating them to true extraordinary.

The looming crisis would continue to surge like tides.

If the pace of strengthening isn’t accelerated, they would never have a chance to breathe.

Thus, Rogel became an unyielding potion crafting machine, unstoppingly refining potions, and persistently refreshing their quality.
