I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 198 - 158: Shadow of the Divine Descendant

Chapter 198: Chapter 158: Shadow of the Divine Descendant

[Captain Rogel, why did you suddenly decide to take us to the library?]

On the way, Mira, pushed by Yas, couldn’t help but look at Rogel.

Early this morning, Rogel had brought her and Yas out.

[I found a Magic Potion Recipe that suits you, but the main ingredient in this Magic Potion Recipe comes from an Extraordinary creature called the ’Book-Storage Eye’.]

[The ’Book-Storage Eye’ typically appears in large libraries.]

[Moreover, only those who thirst for knowledge can see it.]

Rogel explained.

The second underwater cave had already been explored.

The pointer’s direction pointed towards the Sea of Sin, which made it impossible for Rogel to search for it in a short time.

Perhaps the third underwater cave is beyond the Five Major Seas.

After listening to Rogel, Mira was a bit surprised and smiled.

[Only those who thirst for knowledge can see it? So magical?]

[How can it distinguish who thirsts for knowledge? And... would Extraordinary Creatures really appear in human libraries?]

Mira couldn’t help but be puzzled.

[I don’t know either, we ought to go check it out.]

Rogel shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Mira could only respond with an "Oh," pondering related matters on her own.

But then, Rogel suddenly remembered something.

[By the way, Mira, have you learned meditation and visualization yet?]

Hearing Rogel’s question, Mira sighed lightly.

[I’ve learned visualization, but not meditation.]

Due to her low Body Value, learning meditation was extremely difficult for her.

Rogel wasn’t surprised by this, offering her some reassurance, then turned his gaze to Yas beside him.

[Yas, how is your forging study going lately?]

Actually, Rogel could see Yas’s Skill Level on the companion interface, Blacksmith lv5.

Perhaps due to using a few Residual Spirits Rogel gave him, he improved quite quickly.

[It’s alright.]

Yas paused, then added.

[I’ve learned the combat skill you gave me before, but... it’s not very useful.]

Yas said bluntly.

Rogel didn’t mind; he recalled Yas’s combat skill, that Giant Bear Combo.

[Not very useful, huh... I’ll keep an eye out for something else for you.]

Rogel said.

Then suddenly remembered another question and couldn’t help but turn towards Yas.

[By the way, Yas, why do I feel like you’ve spoken much less since boarding the ship? Are you unhappy?]

[...No.]

Yas was momentarily stunned, then shook his head, pondering for a moment before speaking.

[The main reason is that I believe sea voyages are dangerous, and I must stay vigilant at all times, so I talk less.]

After hearing this, Mira couldn’t help but facepalm.

[...Actually, it’s because he tried going out to fish several times and capsized on the sea each time, so whenever he’s on a ship, he’s always cautious.]

Rogel saw this and couldn’t help but chuckle, noticing Yas’s expression indeed showed slight embarrassment.

Looks like it’s true.

[Being cautious is good, but don’t be too tense; relaxing a bit doesn’t hurt.]

Rogel told them.

Yas was about to express his agreement when Rogel added.

[If a sudden major crisis really occurs, being cautious won’t help.]

[...]

Rogel’s dark humor left Yas speechless.

In this casual banter, Rogel and the others arrived at the largest library in the city.

The librarian at the entrance looked at them curiously.

Upon entering the library, the three began to move deeper inside.

This library was large; though it wasn’t as vast as some major libraries Rogel had seen in reality, it was still decent.

The three spent a long time inside the library but didn’t find any sign of the Book-Storage Eye.

[Mira, did you see anything strange?]

After a busy period, Rogel turned to Mira for inquiry.

But Mira remained silent.

Rogel was a bit surprised as he turned around, only to see her engrossed in a book, completely still.

[Mira!]

Hearing her name, Mira finally snapped out of it, looking at him in confusion.

[What is it, Captain?]

Rogel facepalmed.

[Our task today wasn’t to read books here.]

Mira had been buried in books all along; it was curious to find the Book-Storage Eye that way.

Upon hearing Rogel, Mira finally snapped out of it, embarrassedly smiled and began to seriously search with Rogel.

But even after a long while, there was still no result.

It was already afternoon.

The entire library had been browsed by the three.

Helpless, they decided to return, planning to try another place tomorrow.

Perhaps there might be something in the library within the Royal City on Ozurik Island.

However, just as they were about to leave, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared before them.

Looking at the mysterious figure wrapped tightly in clothes, Rogel paused.

[Good afternoon, Captain Rogel, I’ve been expecting you for a long time.]

Rogel took a glance at the nearby wall where a large chunk of plaster had clearly been peeled away out of boredom, and nodded slightly.

[Yes, I can tell.]

Upon hearing this, the mysterious figure seemed a bit perplexed. When they looked at what Rogel was observing, they awkwardly coughed.

[...It wasn’t me who scratched it.]

Rogel immediately looked at him with a strange expression.

Did I ever say it was you who did it?

But now he was too lazy to bother with such a trivial matter.

[Since you know my name and have waited here for so long, just say it, what’s the matter?]

Rogel said calmly.

He speculated in his heart that this person was either here to seek a Magic Potion or belonged to the Mother Goddess Church.

[I mean no harm, Captain Rogel.]

[The reason I’m here is because of Prince Ladi, or should I say, Prince Kadi.]

Unexpectedly, Rogel had guessed wrong.

This made him feel somewhat puzzled, his brows slightly furrowed.

[And then?]

He did not change his attitude just because the mysterious person mentioned Kadi’s name.

The matters of the Royal Palace are not simple at all; no one knows if this person belongs to a force that harbors ill intentions toward Kadi.

[...]

When Mira heard Kadi’s name, she suddenly wanted to say something, but ultimately she held back.

[Before discussing the purpose of this visit, I must let you know our background and intentions, which should make our transaction more smooth.]

Saying this, the mysterious person glanced around, and then in Rogel’s wary gaze, he took out a bead.

With a hint of apology in his tone, soon, an invisible ripple appeared on the bead, enveloping Rogel and the mysterious person.

Then Rogel saw Yas and Mira next to him with their mouths open, speaking, yet there was no sound whatsoever.

[The information in our upcoming conversation is quite confidential, so... please understand.]

Extraordinary... Rogel thought for a moment, then gave Yas and Mira a reassuring look.

Seeing this, the mysterious person spoke.

[We come from an organization founded by the Heroic King Ozulik, you may refer to us as the ’Shadow of the Divine Descendant’.]

[Our sole purpose is to preserve the legacy of the Thousand Islands Kingdom and maintain peace in the Five Major Seas, ensuring humanity has a rear area to recuperate and live in peace.]

Rear area?

Hearing this description from the mysterious person, Rogel could not help but recall Old Medicine Ding’s mentions about the Five Major Seas and some information beyond them.

But he didn’t interrupt the mysterious person and listened quietly.

[Before departing, the Hero King left a prophecy, saying that in the future, the Five Major Seas will encounter an apocalyptic wave.]

[And for us, this time is already very close.]

The mysterious person spoke seriously.

Apocalyptic wave?

Rogel’s heart stirred.

Those who know this information are definitely very few, and this mysterious person in front of him likely also comes from some hidden organization.

[What does that have to do with you seeking me out?]

Rogel looked at him.

[Beside the Heroic King Ozulik, there was a very low-key Prophet, whose prophecies almost never went wrong.]

[And in the upcoming great crisis, you play a vital role.]

[This is precisely why I came to find you.]

Upon hearing this, Rogel couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.

[Do you think I can resolve this upcoming apocalyptic wave?]

He spoke more like he was asking himself, and after finishing, he shook his head.

[Then you guessed wrong.]

[If something is beyond my capability, it doesn’t concern me.]

He wasn’t joking.

Up to now, he had already been working extremely hard to improve his strength.

Presumably, before the apocalyptic wave arrives, he should be able to reach the Apostle Tier.

But so what?

An apocalypse-level crisis—what can the Apostle Tier even do?

Therefore, if it truly comes to that, Rogel can only sail the Gelin away, finding a relatively safe place.

At most, he’ll bring along some familiar faces within his ability.

As for solving such a massive crisis...

Rogel could only say, even if starting from scratch again, there’s no good way to become a god quickly enough to solve the crisis.

Regarding Rogel’s response, the mysterious person didn’t comment, just smiled a bit.

[That’s your choice; we certainly have no right to interfere.]

[Our purpose is to make a deal with you.]

The mysterious person said.

[Let’s hear it.]

Rogel said uncommittedly, implying their offered chips hold significant weight.

[We can provide you with a Magic Potion Recipe at the Apostle Level.]

The mysterious person directly went for the king bomb.

This sparked Rogel’s interest; the party that can offer an Apostle Level Magic Potion Recipe certainly doesn’t just have this one thing.

Under Rogel’s gaze, the mysterious person continued.

[If you need any Extraordinary Materials or knowledge, we can also provide them.]

After saying this, he quietly awaited Rogel’s reaction.

[Mention your conditions.]

Rogel spoke, implying their offered chips were of considerable weight.

[We need you to do two things for us.]

[First, to go to the junction of the Sea of Sin and the Royal City to determine the whereabouts of a celestial object.]

[Second, to return to the Divine Descendant Peak in the Royal City in a month and attend the Royal Family’s sword-wielding ceremony, and protect Prince Ladi if necessary.]

Saying that, the mysterious person handed Rogel a report-like informational document.

After reading, Rogel also understood what he meant by the celestial object.

What surprised him was that the Great Sea Beast Moqueto he previously encountered was also disturbed because of this matter.

No wonder they had suddenly come across such a legendary creature.
