Chapter 237: Organized and Disciplined
The butterfly effect.
Because of Karoso’s appearance, Merlin and Null and 『』 were not that familiar with each other.
Especially 『』, who had been running around with Karoso before.
In this situation, Null was so busy thinking about 『』 and Karoso that he did not discuss the cooperation with Merlin in depth.
Sophia did not go out of control in the City of Freedom, and Null and 『』 were not particularly concerned about her.
Moreover, in the Dream Space, 『』 went to help Karoso, not to help Sophia.
『』 is a more emotional woman. Seeing Sophia’s past, even if she forgets after waking from the dream, it will plant a seed in her heart, and she will want to help Sophia.
However, none of this happened. Sophia did not lose her best friend, and she did not go out of control, which led to Null and 『』 not arriving on the ship at that time.
Karoso originally thought Easley had done something, as it was too coincidental that trouble occurred just after he left.
But according to netizens, this incident was not caused by Easley.
Pat pat…
Many people rushed to the deck and looked around.
Karoso’s gaze was fixed on the sea, and he narrowed his eyes.
He saw broken wooden boards surrounding the ship, and some of those boards had bodies on them.
The wooden ship is not completely out of service yet, but there shouldn’t be any other ships on this route!
Moreover, why does the surrounding environment look so strange?
"What is happening?" Saaya quickly ran to Karoso’s side and looked at the sea, "The color of the water seems off…"
"Yes, it doesn’t look like the color of a normal sea," Karoso nodded seriously.
[Master Karoso, be careful, this is not your sea; new information has come in, this is the edge of the Forbidden Sea.]
[Yes, here everyone’s magic will be suppressed, and coming towards us is Sophia.]
[The main characters of this event are Elizabeth and Russell, and they will solve the problem with Merlin and Celica.]
[Don’t expect anything from the others.]
[I don’t know the details, the event just started, and to complete everything will take at least a few hours, hold on!]
[In the CG, Null and 『』 used the local materials to make cards for Merlin on the spot, it was so cool!]
[Damn it, at this moment there is no Null and 『』 here!]
[That card should be the key to passing, without Null and 『』, how can Merlin get a new card to fight?]
[Isn’t this like cutting off one hand of the old woman?]
"Forbidden Sea?" Karoso’s eyes widened, "Is this the Forbidden Sea?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our route has nothing to do with the Forbidden Sea." Saaya’s pupils shrank slightly.
If it’s in the Forbidden Sea, that would be serious!
I’ve never heard of anyone coming out of the Forbidden Sea alive, never!
The Forbidden Sea is the place where gods fell; countless battles between gods took place in the Forbidden Sea.
If Karoso has memories of communicating with Surtr, he would know quite a lot; he has witnessed the fall of gods.
"The edge of the Forbidden Sea…" Karoso swallowed hard, "I can’t be sure; I’ve only read about it."
"If it really is there, anything could happen."
"Second Brother, no matter what our differences are, I suggest we cease hostilities for now."
"Alright." Seeing Karoso so serious, Saaya understood the importance of the matter.
Whether he wants to get rid of Karoso or make Karoso feel despair, there is one condition: he must stay alive.
Soon, many people arrived on the deck and looked outside.
"What happened?"
"What a thick fog…"
"There are bodies in the sea, and some ships have been attacked?"
"Who did this!"
"Are we going to be attacked too?"
"Isn’t this shipping route supposed to be cleaned regularly? This is the safest route, right!"
"Damn it, why is my magic hitting so close?"
"It can’t show its true power."
"The communication is cut off; we can’t talk to the outside, and we can’t even speak to the people on this ship!"
"Completely cut off; what kind of magic circle is this?"
"Where is the captain? Captain!"
"Could it be that we have been set up?"
"Damn, the ship left from the port of City of Freedom; are we the remnants of the Church of the Lord of Eternity, trying to use us for a ritual?"
"It’s very possible!"
"Damn it, with so many skilled people here, why are we afraid? Let’s fight our way out!"
The crowd was angry; they felt they had been tricked.
The City of Freedom just had an incident, so everyone is quite sensitive right now.
It’s like when there is a fire somewhere; if many people know about it, they will automatically be more cautious.
"Everyone, please calm down! I am the owner of this ship and the owner of Deep-sea Industry, Russell Hekmatyar!"
Just then, a lazy male voice called out from the top of the ship.
Karoso suddenly turned around.
There he saw Russell sitting at the top of the ship, holding his uniquely-shaped cane, which hid a sword that belonged to him.
"This guy…"
Karoso covered his forehead.
I’ve been tricked…
Just now, communicating with Russell gave Karoso the illusion that Russell was coming from somewhere else toward here.
The problem is, Russell is a devoted father, and since his daughter appeared on this ship, he very likely came here himself.
He was just afraid of scaring his daughter away, so he never showed himself and hid instead.
"Who is that?"
"Is it the captain?"
"What a strong magical wave… It’s still this powerful even when restricted; is it eighth-tier?"
"That is Russell, the owner of this ship and also the owner of Deep-sea Industry, the most powerful arms dealer."
"Russell, what do you mean? What is going on?"
A group of people saw Russell appear and all rushed to the top of the ship, even Karoso and Saaya ran up.
"We only boarded the ship because we trust Deep-sea Industry, so you must give us an explanation." A middle-aged man stepped forward, "If something happens to my master, you Deep-sea Industry will regret it!"
"That’s right, what caused this thick fog and the Magic Factor? You need to tell us!"
"Bind him and make him talk."
"Tell me, have you been tainted by the Church of the Lord of Eternity?"
"Everyone, I do not know what’s going on either. We need to investigate what happened." Russell looked around calmly and said, "Please return to the cabin and rest; Deep-sea Industry will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
"If worse comes to worst, I am here myself; if anything really goes wrong, you can kill me then, right?"
"I know I am not the only eighth-tier here. But if you are so upset and want to fight me… I don’t mind, but that would only help our unknown enemy!"
"In the previous battle against the Church of the Lord of Eternity, I also contributed a lot. I believe if you read the City of Freedom’s newspaper, you will understand my position, Russell’s position."
"I suspect that my earlier actions against the Church of the Lord of Eternity led to their retaliation against me."
"Our enemy is very likely on this ship, hiding among us, trying to use the conflict between you and me to achieve his goals."
"Do you have any evidence for that?" an old man asked with a frown.
"I have no evidence, so I need to investigate. Please give me some time. Also, the more chaotic it gets, the easier it is for something to happen." Russell looked around, "The people who boarded, especially in first class, are all important figures, rich and powerful, people I, Russell, have to look up to. However, I assume the relationships among you may not be very friendly; some families likely bear grudges against each other."
"And there are also conflicts between some countries, right?"
"With so many skilled people around, are you really not worried about your own master being in trouble?"
"Doing something in the chaos is the best time."
Many people’s faces changed at the scene, clearly, Russell had hit the nail on the head.
From the very beginning, Russell was causing division among these people, making it impossible for them to unite.
Otherwise, if they teamed up against Russell, it would indeed be a headache for him.
He was expressing his position, explaining his reasoning, showing his strength, and creating divisions, all to make these people obedient and not cause him trouble.
"Hmph, you better give us a satisfactory answer."
"That’s right, if we don’t find the truth, or if we discover something, don’t blame us for being unfriendly."
Everyone made some harsh remarks and then temporarily left the area.
The only ones left were Karoso and Saaya.
"Kid, you wouldn’t want an explanation too, would you?" Russell said, raising an eyebrow in front of Karoso.
"No, I came to help. This sea area looks a lot like the edge of the Forbidden Sea I read about," Karoso said.
Russell’s gaze sharpened, and he grabbed Karoso by the collar, angrily saying, "Kid, do you know what you’re talking about?"
"Look at those boards and bodies floating on the sea. Are those clothes on the bodies from this time?" Karoso pointed at the surface of the water.
Russell looked around and quickly sensed that something was wrong.
The people looked as if they had just died recently; their clothing seemed from this era, but there were still some subtle differences.
With Russell’s strength, even from this distance, he couldn’t hide it from his eyes.
He let go of Karoso, his face turned a bit pale.
"Hey, it seems you have a lot of knowledge… even I have never seen such records."
Russell made his living at sea, and if he had never seen it, then this knowledge must be very rare.
However, every family has its own unique collection of books, so Russell did not question Karoso.
Karoso wouldn’t joke about something so serious.
"Why is our ship here?" Saaya asked.
"Is this… your friend or your servant?" Russell pointed at Saaya.
"I am his Second Brother, Saaya Colloa!" Saaya got angry when he heard Russell say this.
Damn it, how do I look like a servant?
"Look at the clothes you are wearing," Russell smirked.
Saaya looked down at his clothes and his face turned pale.
He saw that he was now wearing a somewhat worn-out butler outfit, and the long black clothes felt heavy.
Karoso turned to take a look, his gaze sharpened.
When did Saaya’s clothes change…?
[Wow, this is a bit strange!]
[Just a moment.]
[Yes, as soon as Boss Luo finished speaking, his clothes changed instantly.]
[Damn, if I didn’t know Boss Luo was a good person, I might think he was the BOSS.]
[Where are the story fans? Hurry up!]
[Wow, the story is playing at sixteen times the speed. Why is this event so difficult?]
[The difficulty is okay; I can power through by practicing a lot.]
[With a full nine-tier luxury team, as long as it’s not the BOSS, nothing can stop me.]
[I need to take my time with the story. I can’t show any details. Are you sure that speeding through the story at sixteen times the speed is useful?]
[Didn’t you see the post on the forum? The story team and the strategy team have teamed up. The story team is using the strategy team’s accounts and tactics, and then they watch the story in groups.]
[For example, if you are in Group A, pay close attention to the story in the first level. If you are in Group B, you can skip the first level’s story at sixteen times the speed and mainly focus on the story in the second level.]
[Wow, can it really be like this?]
[There is really organization and discipline!]
Even if the game company is tricky or if Karoso has terrible luck, nothing can stop the players’ enthusiasm.
When players want to do something, they can overcome any difficulty.
The chance to draw cards in the event? That is no longer important to those watching Karoso.
[Master Karoso, I suggest you turn on the bullet comment simplified mode, and then the story team will help you analyze!]
Karoso pressed a button and then looked at Russell.
"Boss Luo… wait, Russell." Karoso accidentally called him like a netizen and asked, "When did you see his clothes change like this?"
"In my eyes, it started like this." Russell also noticed something was wrong.
"In my eyes, his clothes just changed; I had been keeping an eye on him from the corner of my vision," Karoso said.
"Didn’t you just say ceasefire? So why are you being so cautious with me?" Saaya paused for a moment and spoke with a look of disbelief.
"What is the card in your hand?" Karoso’s gaze was fixed on the card in Saaya’s hand.
Saaya quietly put away the Frost Arrow card, "What about your hand?"
Karoso quietly put away his five-star Golden Card weapon…
Well, even if the two stopped fighting, their guard against each other wouldn’t go down.
"Huh… His clothes changed, so others’ clothes might change too; as for why it changed, I don’t know." Russell looked serious, "I noticed it before you, maybe I’m stronger than you."
Karoso nodded, that was the only explanation.
"I once read a report that has always been seen as a myth." Russell looked into the distance, "A ship suddenly disappeared while sailing, and when it reappeared, it was a hundred years later."
"When that ship appeared again, the people from a hundred years ago were still alive, their ages unchanged, as if they had traveled through time. To them, only a few hours had passed."
"That route was a very normal one, not the Forbidden Sea."
"Damn, if that’s the case, it would be quite a story."
Karoso looked very serious.
Although it was unclear what had happened, a problem that required so many experts could not be small.
"Little one, stay in the cabin. Leave the rest to the adults."
