Chapter 137: My Uncle Is An Ancient God

Chapter 137: My Uncle Is An Ancient God

It seemed that our cheap Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King uncle did not manage mortal affairs. He managed things in the water—his territory was all water. But he probably had some influence on land too.

As for this North Sea King, he was probably a title the emperor of Cloud Kingdom granted to the Dragon King.

Usually, the people of the North Sea offered him incense and tributes—his land was definitely more than just two hundred thousand square kilometers. After all, his name was supposedly very famous.

But the Nine Dragons Sea Quelling King… this was not a title for the mortal world!

This was a heavenly title… for the sea!

Forget it, no matter what, this was still a title recognized by Cloud Kingdom, specifically for Dragon Kings.

Foreigners couldn’t tell the difference.

So I was a Prince, the Nine Dragons Town… ahem, Nine Dragons Province Sea Quelling Prince!

Everyone had lunch together. Alwyn called all the various executive Bishops, deputy Bishops, chief Divine Officials, and the commander of the Templar Knights of the Sanctuary, and so on.

People were very enthusiastic, offering toasts, wanting to befriend this esteemed Prince—he was a Prince sent by Cloud Kingdom’s Sea Quelling King to our Lunar Court.

This was the first time a Prince from Cloud Kingdom had come to our St. Anthony’s Cathedral. How good must the relations be for him to accept our Paladin title?

This would promote friendly exchanges between both sides!

This was a great achievement for the Lunar Court!

Moreover, now this Prince was considered one of our own at St. Anthony’s Cathedral!

A Paladin of our St. Anthony’s Cathedral!

Very prestigious.

Furthermore, in the future, when our Lunar Court’s fleets wanted to trade by sea with the North Sea Kingdom, Nine Dragons Province, and Great Stream Land and other places, he would surely open the doors wide, right?

It’s just that I heard sea monsters and Sea Gods are especially numerous there…

There also seems to be a very powerful deep-sea Ancient God—in Cloud Kingdom, they call it something like a Dragon King. It is a golden giant dragon with nine heads, its body like an island. Nine-headed sea lizards look like little babies in front of it.

When tsunamis and such happen, it’s him showing his power!

I heard sea monsters, great Sirens, five-clawed dragons, and the like in the sea all obey him. He is the head of the North Sea Dragon Clan.

That vast sea is his territory, filled with countless terrifying Sirens and Evil Gods. This makes it impossible for any fleet to pass through. So there hasn’t been any contact between the two sides.

Hearing these words, Louis understood a little. It seemed that in this world, the definition of an Ancient God was at the level of his crooked-mouthed dragon uncle.

I don’t know how our cheap Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King uncle ranked among the many ‘Ancient Gods’. But nominally, his territory seemed quite large. I just don’t know how much of it he actually rules.

However, looking at it this way, our Nine Dragons Sea Quelling King, even though he didn’t have any actual fief, seemed more impressive than a Prince!

According to the high priest, the Lunar Court had many seafaring trade fleets. They relied on the sea for their livelihood. Although Cloud Kingdom and here had no contact, that didn’t stop us from building a relationship. Who knows when we might need your help—if we run into trouble with sea monsters or something in the North Sea. As a friend through friendly exchanges, the Nine Dragons Province Sea Quelling Prince should be able to ask the North Sea King to send troops to help, right?

Hearing these questions, Louis grinned but didn’t dare make a sound.

Troops from the mortal world, I probably couldn’t summon. After all, our title wasn’t for the mortal world.

Probably the troops from the old Dragon King weren’t from the mortal world either—likely, eight or nine out of ten, they were those deep-sea demons (shrimp soldiers and crab generals) and the great Sirens that specifically drag ships to the bottom of the sea…

No matter what, this lunch banquet was very lively. Many people came over to chat and toast. In the end, even Red-robed Bishop Alwyn, quite drunk, patted Louis on the shoulder and called him brother.

By the time the banquet was about to end, basically everyone had met Louis. Although Louis didn’t remember everyone, these people all remembered this Prince from Cloud Kingdom—the Nine Dragons Sea Quelling King.

“Ahem, there’s a ‘Province’ character in the middle, read it separately.” Louis said drunkenly with a burp, emphasizing: “Not Nine Dragons Town, Sea King.”

“I understand, I understand, young friend.” Bishop Alwyn said drunkenly.

The drunks remembered the title Louis specifically emphasized over eighty times during this feast—Sea Quelling King. Yes, Nine Dragons Sea Quelling King.

When leaving, they took Crowley’s car. Yingling sat in the front, Crowley and Louis sat in the back.

When Bishop Alwyn led the many Divine Officials and Knight commanders to see Louis off to the car, the old man, still drunk, held Louis’s hand and said a lot. All sorts of drunken ramblings.

But Crowley, sitting beside Louis, remembered a few sentences—

“St. Anthony’s Cathedral will be your second home from now on…”

“‘Maiden home’, is that the right word?”

“Louis, no need to say much, I know, I know, your Cloud Kingdom’s Kings and Princes often take concubines. In the future, if you marry a Princess Consort or something, you must come back to our St. Anthony’s Cathedral. I’ll officiate. I’ll witness the wedding!”

Louis felt a bit unable to listen anymore: “Ahem, your Grace, I have no plans to marry in the next few years.”

“Just date first, be pen pals or something, no hurry.”

When Earl Crowley heard this drunken talk, he sobered up immediately.

Oh my god, it’s true!

Cloud Kingdom is just like the Foxkin and Dragonborn; nobles can properly marry many legal wives, all with proper status.

And he is a royal Prince, the Nine Dragons Sea Quelling King! His wives aren’t just wives, they are Princess Consorts! It wouldn’t interfere with him ‘building relations’ with the Princess over there.

My daughter is worried about this very thing. Keeping in touch with the Nine Dragons Sea Quelling King is good, might even become a Princess Consort or something in the future.

Should have my daughter visit the Princess more often from now on. Best to become pen pals with Louis too.

Why bother with other targets?

Crowley’s heart was moved. On the way back to the hotel with Louis, he didn’t let Louis call him ‘bro’ anymore. He told Louis to call him ‘uncle’. Mentioning what Bishop Alwyn just said, the Earl also indicated that while you’re not in a hurry to marry, things like pen pals, we should nurture.

When there’s time, I’ll pick out some ladies or misses for you.

Louis didn’t understand why his father-in-law didn’t want him to call him brother anymore.

Drunk, he didn’t figure out the key point right away, just felt that Crowley suddenly became distant. This made Louis a bit upset.

So he quickly said, we brothers get along fine, why become distant? Ladies and misses, you should introduce them, can’t let it affect our brotherly relationship, right?

It doesn’t matter if the girls are some relative of yours, we can each stick to our own terms!

The drunken Crowley thought that seemed reasonable too—a niece marrying an uncle or something is normal.

At this, Crowley became open-minded, calling Louis ‘little brother’ with great warmth.

He also said he needed to tell Kate later to call Louis uncle.

Louis sobered up instantly.

He was sweating profusely. How did he end up calling his father-in-law brother?

This isn’t really appropriate, is it?
