Is stared at the old man's back, feeling somewhat uneasy.
“This all happened so suddenly. Lady Im summoned us and told us she wanted to see you, but she didn’t say what it was about, and we didn’t dare to ask.” The bald old man’s face was frozen as he slowly explained.
At this point, he seemed to remember something and added, "There's one thing, Is, that you absolutely must pay attention to."
Hearing this tone, Easton became even more uneasy: "Wh...what is it??? Judging from your tone, I have a feeling that Im is going to do something to me?"
"She won't hurt you, you can rest assured about that. But you must be careful not to do anything reckless. Here we can turn a blind eye, but Lord Im will not tolerate it!!!" the bald old man instructed.
"..."
"for example?"
"Note the honorific title; 'Im' should be followed by 'Adult'."
"Okay, that's a minor matter. Is there anything else? For example, does she have any strange temper, like being quick to resort to violence?"
"Or, you might like to scare people or something. You should tell me these things in advance so I can at least be mentally prepared, right?"
The bald old man suddenly stopped, glanced at Is speechlessly, and then said in surprise, "What are you thinking about, kid? Nothing... nothing at all."
"That's good. I prefer to resolve things with words," Is said calmly.
"It's an honor for you to meet Lord Im, young man," the bald old man remarked.
Yes, very few people in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise know that there is a mastermind behind the world in the city of Pangaea.
"pleasure???"
“Of course, first of all, you should know that under normal circumstances, Lady Im only meets with us. Her wanting to see you means that she approves of you,” the bald old man continued to explain.
"Do you agree?"
Meanwhile, on a certain island, inside a house.
"what!"
Kaido woke up from a nightmare and tried to sit up, but the pain from his wounds made him tremble, so he gave up the idea of sitting up.
Yes, he survived that battle with great difficulty, having been pushed onto an island by the waves, and had he not been rescued by someone.
It is estimated that he has already died.
"Damn it, damn it!!!" Kaido roared.
Just then, a voice came from outside after hearing the commotion.
"you're awake?"
As he spoke, a middle-aged man walked over, glanced at Kaido, and said incredulously, "You're really tough. You survived such injuries. If you had woken up a few days later, I probably would have thrown you back into the sea."
Kaido glanced at him but didn't say anything. After all, he still needed this middle-aged man to survive.
"Once I recover from my injuries, I will give you a huge sum of money!" Kaido said in a deep voice.
"No need for a huge sum of money. I just think you're still young, and it would be a pity if you died. Were you attacked by pirates?" the middle-aged man asked.
Kaido grunted in response, not daring to reveal that he was a pirate, for fear that the middle-aged man in front of him might have a grudge against pirates.
"This ocean... is getting more and more chaotic."
Naval prison.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Linlin had her hands and feet handcuffed with sea stone. She sat quietly in the corner, her hair disheveled, her clothes tattered, and her face showing a sorry state.
"Lingling!"
A voice came from the prison next door, and the voice belonged to one of the Rocks Pirates' officers.
Upon hearing the voice, Charlotte Linlin looked over.
"Did you hear that...? Those Navy guys said the Rocks Pirates are... are wiped out, and their captain has been killed!" the officer shouted.
"What do you want to say?" Charlotte Linlin asked, looking haggard.
"Don't you understand? The Rocks Pirates have been wiped out. No one will come to save us. We're doomed!!!"
"We're doomed!!! We can only wait to die... Hahahaha!!"
Towards the end, the man burst into laughter, probably out of despair.
Charlotte Linlin stared at him without saying anything, then lowered her head and closed her eyes.
Over at the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
At this moment, the bald old man had led Is to a palace, where four other old men had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Is, a faint smile finally appeared on their worried faces.
"What's going on? Where have you two been?" the old man with the knife spoke first.
"It really isn't my fault. It's just that Is was out. As soon as he got back, I immediately pulled him over," the bald old man explained.
"Never mind that for now, brat, hurry inside. Lord Im has been waiting for a long time. Remember, whatever you do, don't do anything reckless, or you'll be in big trouble," the long-haired old man warned.
Originally, Is was indifferent, but the old men's chatter made him start to feel uneasy again.
"Mmm." Is nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Five Elders opened the door for Is, and Is stepped inside.
"boom!"
After Is went inside, the Five Elders closed the door again.
He paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Inside the palace, the sound of crisp footsteps echoed.
A void throne, towering high atop the very top of the hall, came into Is's view, its front adorned with swords and daggers.
"You've arrived? Bernard Is!"
Please give me flowers and monthly tickets! If you like it, please support me by giving me flowers. Also, feel free to leave any suggestions in the comments section.
Chapter 98
Although the sound was not loud, Is heard it clearly.
His gaze swept across the dimly lit hall, but he did not find Im's figure.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Is spoke up: "I wonder what brings Lord Im to see me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent again, not a sound could be heard.
After a while, heavy footsteps sounded from the direction of the Void Throne.
A few dozen seconds later, a tall woman with a somewhat strange appearance came into Is's view.
However, because the hall was dimly lit, Is could not see her face, only a general outline.
She paced back and forth on the Void Throne, her gaze fixed on Is.
"So young, yet possessing such awareness, no wonder the Five Elders are grooming you to be their successor."
""
What Is actually looking for isn't these words of praise; he just wants to know why the world government's behind-the-scenes boss wants to see him.
"The Five Elders flatter me too much. I'm actually just like everyone else, indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun. I'll never amount to anything," Is said calmly.
Originally, Is just trying to avoid Im asking him for favors and deliberately ruining his image, but to his surprise, Im seemed even more amused by what he said.
"I've seen people take credit for themselves, but this is the first time I've seen someone deliberately ruin their own image."
""
"Lord Im, I was just telling the truth," Is said with a wry smile. Damn it, the world government's behind-the-scenes boss is something else, completely unpredictable.
Im hesitated for a few seconds, then said instead of continuing the topic, "You... played a big role in eliminating Roger and the Rocks Pirates, didn't you? I heard from the Five Elders that you led the Navy to quell the unrest."
Is was silent for a few seconds, somewhat unsure what Im wanted to say to him. Was he just here to confirm these trivial matters?
"I was just going through the motions; the real work was done by the Navy. I was just after the Navy's credit."
"The Five Elders were right, you are indeed worth nurturing. Let's choose a day and go to the Valley of the Gods."
As he spoke, Im sat down on the Void Throne, gently stroking his head with one hand. At this moment, he finally got to the point.
"Valley of the Gods??"
Upon hearing these three words, Is also intrigued.
He was very curious about what treasures were hidden in God Valley. In the original story, Rocks went there, and Roger went there too.
Although the original work only mentions that Rocks attempted to attack the Celestial Dragons.
But would a sea tyrant really be interested in dealing with these meaningless Celestial Dragons?
Obviously not. The reason for attacking God Valley must be that God Valley possesses some unspeakable secret.
"Can I know the reason?" Is asked.
“There, there are things that belong to us Celestial Dragons.”
"what?"
"You don't need to know. What you need to know is that it is extremely important to us Celestial Dragons."
"If you don't tell me, I won't even know if someone steals it right in front of me."
"The person who can be taken away... has not yet appeared."
Good heavens, Is thought he could learn the secret of the Valley of the Gods from Im, but... he was disappointed.
"Since the person who could be taken away hasn't shown up, what am I going to God Valley for? To stay?"
"That place is also the Celestial Dragons' paradise. After you go there, God Valley will be under your control, including... the Celestial Dragons there. However, the only requirement is that you cannot kill any Celestial Dragons," Im said slowly.
Is fell silent. Although he didn't really want to travel and change his residence, the thought of the secrets of the Valley of the Gods made him want to go and see for himself.
Moreover, Im granted himself a special privilege: the Valley of the Gods was under his control.
“Okay, I understand. When do you want me to set off?” Is asked.
"what ever!"
