“As far as I know, the south isn’t peaceful either. The Golden Sacred Lord wants to unify the cities on the south bank, and a group of people who call themselves the Order of Calamity want to do some evil ritual.
“A lone traveller like you will easily become their target.”
Matthew nodded again and again after hearing that. He flattered the Naga leader until he was on cloud nine.
However, he was puzzled. The Naga Queen wanted to unify the Arunay Sea, and the Golden Sacred Lord wanted to control the southern cities. This was an unprecedented sign in history!
‘ Could it be that the Civilization Lock is failing? Or is this part of the Heavenly
Change?”
Matthew was puzzled.
As for the Order of Calamity, it also gave him a deja vu of “Why are you guys everywhere?”
Taking this opportunity, Matthew chatted with the leader for a while and learned about some of the recent events in the Arunay Sea.
As he spoke, the leader suddenly glared at Soldier, who was behind Matthew.
“Skeleton, why do you look like your brain isn’t working well? He kept staring at me, and I didn’t like it.”
Matthew was stunned.
Then, he realized something and quickly ordered Soldier to restrain himself.
In the Undying Contract.
A faint sense of grievance and anger was transmitted over.
Matthew glanced at the data panel.
[Hint: You have successfully avoided a prison sentence by bribing the Naga leader. You have obtained the elements of the ‘bluff’ domain: Bribe, flatter, and accumulate more elements. You will obtain the opportunity to enter the domain for the first time.]
[Warning: Your summoned creature Soldier is extremely eager to kill this group of Nagas.]
[Because of this encounter, he had awakened a portion of his memories from his previous life.]
[Soldier is dissatisfied with your orders, but he understands your concerns, so he’s just a little aggrieved.]
Did Soldier have a grudge against the Nagas in his previous life?
Matthew comforted through the contract, “Now is not the best time to act. We still need to stay in the Arunay Sea for a while. When things are done, I won’t stop you.”
Soldier nodded blankly.
Soon after.
Matthew watched as the arrogant leader led the other Nagas away on the waves.
Not long after, a faint sense of direction appeared in his perception. He knew that the spell mark he left on the gold coin and pocket was taking effect.
Equal Stream Island.
On the beach, Xuan Kunzi lazily stretched his limbs.
On the side, Old Ali handed Matthew a firecracker-like object that was as thick as an index finger and as long as a palm.
” This is the Soaring Sparrow. It’s a small toy that we, the Su, made ourselves. We light it with fire and release it into the sky. It can be seen from very far away on the sea.
“If you want to leave, just fire it. Even if we don’t see it, the other boatmen will come and pick you up.
“But be careful. It seems that the situation in this sea area has become quite tense. I’m not sure if this will attract the Nagas again.
“In fact, they should not have appeared here. Previously, they were mainly active in the deep sea.”
The old man sighed deeply.
Matthew took the Sky Sparrow and watched as the old and young boarded Xuan Kunzi and left. Only then did he turn his gaze to the slightly dilapidated island in front of him.
In the next moment.
He turned into a raven and looked down at the island from the sky.
A spindle-shaped island appeared in front of him. It was long from east to west and narrow from north to south. The tip of the eastern island happened to meet an ocean current. The cliff there divided the ocean current from the east into two, one facing northwest and the other facing southwest. Perhaps the name of the island came from this.
The island was high, and the trees were flourishing. There were many seabirds living on the eastern cliff, and there were many wild animals in the forest on the mountain.
The sandy beach on the southwest side was relatively flat, and there was a small bay. Matthew saw a dock there, and there were a few dilapidated fishing boats docked there.
“The natural conditions of this island are not good. It’s not very suitable for humans to survive.”
Matthew found that the human buildings on the island were mainly concentrated on the two large flat lands on the southeast and southwest sides.
There were a few other places, but the mountain was too steep and not conducive for starting a settlement. The Su people gave up settling there after trying for not long.
Along the way, he saw many islands with better geological conditions than equal stream Island, but they were empty.
This meant that when the original Su people chose a place to live, they discovered other mysteries on this island despite its harsh geographical conditions.
Matthew flew around the island.
He could sense that the domain here was stronger than in other places.
Living here, even if he did not successfully advance to the Equilibrium Envoy, he would still have the opportunity to continuously accumulate the elements of the Equilibrium Domain.
“The power of the Domain is truly magical.”
Matthew transformed into his human form and stopped near a stone house that looked like a ruin.
This should be the ” Village of Return ” that Li Weiqi had mentioned.
Although he was mentally prepared, Matthew was also depressed by the dilapidated scene in front of him.
There were rows of stone houses, but as he walked, he found that at least one-third of the houses had collapsed.
If a house collapsed, the house next door would be affected.
Therefore, the area around the collapsed stone house was uninhabited.
There were few people in the village.
Matthew walked for a short distance and saw an old man squatting at the door of a stone house, smoking silently. His face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were numb..
