I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 271 - 188: You’re Really Sinister (Double Length)

"The new King, the Divine Descendant, Ladi Ozurik XVIII, will make a proclamation tomorrow afternoon at the Royal City's grand square."

"No idea what he's going to say..."

"I bet he'll explain the mishap at the Sword Ceremony..."

"It shouldn't be, the Sword Ceremony happened a while ago; if he wanted to talk about it, he would have done it already."

"Haven't you seen the announcement? It's about how to deal with the upcoming crisis, supposedly there's a way to leave the Five Great Seas!"

"Leave the Five Great Seas? With the dangerous mists on the outskirts, where else can we go? Live underwater?"

"Who cares, I can't even afford to eat right now, no time to worry about these things..."

"Still, let's go have a look..."

The Kingdom's militia and officials have begun preparations for the upcoming proclamation, posting notices throughout the Royal City and sending people to inform, trying to make sure most people are aware of this news.

Because what Kadi is going to talk about next is extremely important.

Because of this, many people on Ozuric Island have also learned of this news.

Gathered on Ozuric Island due to the approaching crisis, they naturally want to know how the Kingdom plans to face the upcoming crisis.

Thus, on this day, nearly ten thousand citizens gathered at the Ozurik Island Royal City's square and its vicinity, surrounding the entire podium tightly.

This is just a fraction of the people.

Most are preoccupied with their livelihoods or the distant journey, not present.

In this situation, under the gaze of tens of thousands, behind the large terrace at the Royal City Square, Kadi is conversing with Rogel and others.

"Decided?"

"Yes."

Kadi nodded earnestly.

"They have the right to know the truth."

"I hope your approach is correct," Prophet Theorid sighed.

The ceremonial officer was adjusting Kadi's royal robe, and he inadvertently looked at Rogel.

"Captain Rogel, what do you think?"

Previously, the Kingdom's notifications focused only on the crisis of the great surge.

Regarding the Fire Seed Ship, hardly anyone knew about it.

Even if some had seen it, they were few in number.

So today, Kadi's task is to make this matter public, to tell everyone in the Kingdom that only one percent can board the Fire Seed Ship and leave the Five Great Seas.

Yet the wise Prophet Theorid vehemently opposed making this announcement.

Therefore, Kadi felt a bit uneasy.

"There is no entirely correct choice in the world."

Rogel chuckled ambiguously.

Hearing Rogel's reply, Kadi felt a bit more at ease.

His attire was now ready.

As he was about to step onto the path to the terrace, Kadi turned to glance at Theorid.

"Prophet, was that your prophecy?"

Theorid shook his head, his gaze profound: "No, it's a conjecture."

Kadi withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and walked toward the terrace.

After he had left, Theorid's gaze fell on Rogel.

"Captain Rogel, you could fully change His Majesty's decision."

Rogel crossed his arms, looking at Kadi's back without turning around.

"I'm just a captain, not the Old King, why should I change a King's decision?"

Theorid sighed again, deep worry in his eyes: "Human nature can lead to terrifying consequences..."

To this, Rogel was indifferent, instead looking at him with a relaxed smile.

"That's not certain."

"Whether the sword tip points inward or outward, the decision lies in the hand holding the sword..."

After saying this, he clapped his hands, his body transformed into black mist, drifting toward the Royal City Square.

Theorid's brows furrowed tightly upon hearing this.

As the black mist dissipated, Theorid seemed to understand something, his tightly furrowed brows gradually easing, and he murmured to himself.

"Your Majesty, you have a good captain..."

...

"What does the new King intend to say?"

"Why hasn't he appeared yet?"

In the Royal City Square, the crowd discussed, some expectant, some anxious, others with ulterior motives.

Finally, that tall and burly figure appeared on the terrace under the gaze of many.

With Kadi's appearance, the initially noisy square gradually quieted down.

Kadi looked at the citizens below, at this moment, countless gazes were concentrated on him.

He took a deep breath, contemplated for a long time, and spoke his first sentence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Ladi, also the new King of the Kingdom, the Divine Descendant XVIII."

Thanks to the Extraordinary Power granted by Odaqiro's Sword, his voice was exceptionally loud, echoing throughout the square.

"Presumably, everyone already knows, the massive surge sweeping across the Five Great Seas is imminent, this is a catastrophic crisis..."

"To this end, the first King Ozulik left the Kingdom with three ships that carry hope, they are called the Fire Seed Ship..."

After saying this, he glanced at the citizens below, his ensuing words were filled with determination.

"However, these three ships can only carry a small number of people, they will enter the Penance Strait, heading beyond the Five Great Seas to seek survival hope."

"That means most people will have to stay behind to face the impending crisis."

The crowd erupted upon hearing this.

The originally quiet crowd was suddenly abuzz, discussing and clamoring.

Many among them had come to the Royal City upon receiving notification, thinking the Kingdom would have a plan to deal with the crisis, only to receive such an answer from the King's mouth.

Only a small number can leave?

"So what kinds of people can board the Fire Seed Ship?"

Soon, a loud-voiced man raised the question everyone was deeply concerned about.
