Chapter 182: A Gathering of Monsters and Demons
"With this sacrifice, the great spirits will grant us more knowledge and power."
The young man beside him was also excited, "I truly hope to find our homeland soon and restore the glory of Moon Wheel Country."
The sailor patted his shoulder, encouraging him, "We will, we definitely will. It is said that someone in the most distant continent has found the grandson and granddaughter of the late religious leader and the remaining followers. When we successfully summon the Great God, we will go to bring them back!"
The young man burst into tears, nodding repeatedly, "The sacrifices of a whole ship do have value. Also, Vice President, the president’s side has already investigated that the target of the demon apostles is indeed on this ship. They must be up to something."
"Isn’t that just perfect? If the sacrifices are not enough, we can just use those filthy creatures."
The sailor looked back and saw many guests who had finished their meals entering the area one by one. He said again, "Hurry up and prepare for the five-element ritual."
The young person nodded, then turned and casually walked away as if nothing had happened.
The sailors then put on friendly faces and introduced the cursed dolls displayed in the crystal cabinet to the middle-aged couple who had brought a little girl here.
The little girl stood by the crystal cabinet, curiously staring at the Annabel doll.
"Mom, Dad, she seems to be looking at me."
"Maybe it’s because our little darling is too cute, come on, come on, this puppet looks quite uncomfortable, let’s go look at something else."
…
Meanwhile, Rin and Emilia were strolling around the hall on the lower level.
Besides the central ballroom, the most noticeable was a row of large fish tanks at the back, filled with a variety of colorful or exotic marine fish swimming around. Coupled with the magic lamps inside the tanks, it looked incredibly attractive.
Unfortunately, Waste Hero hated fish so much that she held onto Rin’s arm tightly, not only keeping herself away but also not allowing Rin to get close. Her bossy attitude was truly amusing.
"If you go back to your hometown like this, locking yourself at home every day, how can you complete your mission? At least you are a hero, so work harder, you fool!"
"I don’t want to make an effort, I have you anyway."
Waste Hero’s reply was very fluent and confident.
"Pull yourself together and don’t really turn into a loser!"
Rin patted her cheek, then looked around and curiously stopped at a game seat.
At the entrance of the game seat sofa, there was a small sign hanging, which read "Hero vs. Demon King (flight chess) version."
Rin got interested right away, pulled Waste Hero to the game seat, they sat face to face, looking at the game board.
The game board had a magical civilization feel, with several slots embedded with polished magic crystals, and exquisite engravings, clearly a high-quality item.
Rin reached for the manual placed next to the game board, opened it and started reading aloud.
This game is developed and sold by Gualarrap Hell Company, it’s a magical flying game with simple gameplay, suitable for players aged 12 and above, regardless of race, and perfect for gatherings among friends after meals.
Additionally, this flying game features a custom-made fortune-telling device. Depending on different dice rolls and player actions, various branches and simulated future plots will be generated.
Warning again, there may be outcomes that children may find unacceptable. If under the age of fifteen, please play in child mode under parental supervision.
Game rules.
Please press the side switch button of the game board to start the game.
You can choose from hero, Sword Saint, Archmage, Master Therapist, Elf Archer, and Paladin as character pieces, with up to six players playing at the same time.
Other rules are the same as simple flying chess, unselected pieces will move autonomously.
Let’s join forces and defeat the evil Demon King together!"
After Rin finished reading, Waste Hero’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Tundere, let’s play, meow~"
"I also find it quite interesting."
Rin put down the manual, bent down to look at the base of the chessboard, and indeed found a button, with a cartoon finger label next to it.
He reached out and pressed the switch, and the magic crystals on the chessboard lit up one after another, as if going through a revolving lantern show, and the few chess pieces in the center also lit up.
Beside each square on the chessboard, virtual images akin to holographic projections appeared, with mountains, rivers, and some of the most recognizable magical creatures and beasts.
Upon closer observation, one would notice that the chessboard map was actually a miniature version of several continents.
A sweet and gentle voice, reminiscent of a GPS assistant, sounded.
"Please choose a character to play and tell me your choice."
Waste Hero and Rin didn’t hesitate at all. Rin spoke first, saying, "Archmage."
"Hero."
The central piece moved on its own, landing on different starting points one by one.
Apart from Rin and Master Therapist, everyone else was on different continents.
"Archmage, you were born into a noble family and enjoyed a privileged life with magic education since childhood. Your talents are higher than others your age. Being arrogant, you’re determined to set off on a journey for training right now."
"Hero, you bear the heavy burden of saving the world and are the essential force against the Demon King. You are the natural main character and it’s time to leave the newbie village to prove yourself to the world."
Next, following the instructions, both of them picked up the dice and rolled, watching as their own pieces and other autonomous pieces moved.
Just as they started playing, a pair of fifteen or sixteen-year-old twin girls with short green hair, dressed in boyish neutral clothing, were wandering bored in the exhibition hall.
"Little sister, that cruise ship looks very luxurious. Look at those ladies and gentlemen, many of them are wearing expensive jewelry. What’s the point of these silly paintings? We should inform the boss quickly."
The two people looked almost identical. The older one seemed carefree, with her hair tied up on the left side, while the younger one was quieter, with her hair tied up on the right side.
The older sister playfully tapped her younger sister on the head and then jokingly clenched her fist.
"Silly sister, lower your voice! Do you want everyone to know that we are pirates?"
"Oh, I see. After we finish this job, working together from inside and out, we will definitely earn the boss’s trust. We won’t let those smelly fellows look down on us again!"
The younger sister remained calm and quiet, saying, "If it weren’t for my silly sister messing things up all the time, we would have succeeded long ago. This time, we must be careful and you must listen to me."
"Alright, alright! Hehe, we will definitely outsmart those fellows next time!"
The older sister pointed towards Rin playing with a flag on the opposite side of the next deck.
"Especially these wealthy young aristocrats, see how pampered he looks! He must be very rich! I think I even saw the administrative officer from Yorklando port accompanying him before."
"Hmm, the food on this ship is too expensive, and we have to pay for our tickets. We’ll need to pay more when we get back, so maybe I should find a way to get some money from him first."
"Then let’s follow my plan."
