Chapter 798 The Chosen One

Who would have thought that Rick would be the first to find that gloomy little town after traveling all this way from the tombstone dream to the waking world and then to the dream world?

Who would have thought that Milo would pull the Zar Lord's son and daughter from the sea as soon as he arrived at the Zar settlement?

...

The bad news is that news of the incident at the three Mutas has spread, and all the islands that worship Bloodborne are in an uproar.

That was, after all, the holy site in the Bloodborne faith system, second only to Oriba Island. Ordinary believers at the bottom level might not know exactly what happened, but the visionaries were not blind. Even if they were slow to realize it, they could probably sense Muta's abnormality afterward. At least they could clearly see the strange phenomenon on the sea at the time.

So the Bloodborne followers launched an investigation.

The good news is that the Bloodborne followers have no idea what role Milo and his group played in the Muta incident; their main suspects are, of course, the heretical sect from Outland—the Three Goddesses.

...

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult for the snake ship to pass through Zhar.

According to Adamir, Zhar is actually a relatively open archipelago settlement. Although the South is a harsh winter for the industry compared to the two continents in the east and west, which are most developed in maritime trade, it still has some special materials and products based on geography that are not available on other continents, such as the temple stone mineral resources that are as famous as the gravel desert in the deep waters of the South.

So even though the journey was long and dangerous, some fearless ships still chose to come to Nanjing to purchase temple stone materials, and Zhal was one of the larger archipelagic settlements among these trading islands.

So it's reasonable for the snake people's ship to pass by here.

...

Before the snake boat entered the inner waters of the archipelago, Adamir took a dried plant bud from the small jar he carried with him, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew it frantically.

When asked by Milo and the others, he explained, "There is a very powerful old priest on the main island of Zal. He wears a ring on his hand, which was given to him by a descendant of the gods of Oriba Island. The ring not only grants him great power, but also helps him sense potential chosen ones in the nearby areas."

"What the Chosen One means is..." Yan shrugged.

“Those who have a higher probability of being favored by the gods in joyous sacrificial rituals,” Adamir said.

"Oh, so there's such a thing."

Milo gained a completely new understanding of the Bloodborne belief system in the Southern Reach. In Mutari, he understood Oriba Island from the perspective of the gods, but in the eyes of the lower and middle-class believers, the same order was interpreted in a very different way.

The ring that supposedly allows one to sense the chosen ones is probably not what Adamir said, used to find those favored by the gods. Rather, it is inextricably linked to the cycle of Vovados reincarnation. After all, the bloodline faith system on Oriba Island is essentially a Vovados production line. Therefore, the ring's function should be to screen raw materials, helping the gods find the mother or father genes that are more likely to give birth to Vovados.

There should be more than just this one special magical item from Zhar Settlement.

...

"I've never heard of men gaining great power after wearing a ring, hehe." Yan's thoughts were always so unconventional.

“I know one,” Milo muttered.

"Who?"

"Sauron."

"Who is that?"

As it turns out, Milo's ability to leap across time, space, and different civilizations is unmatched by Yan.

……

...

Freya brought the topic back on track: "So what does that flower bud have to do with all of this?"

“I will soon enter a state of suspended animation to avoid the ring’s detection, but any touch from any living thing will wake me up, so in order to successfully pass through the Zar Islands, you must not…”

bang——

Adamir collapsed and fell into a deep sleep before he could finish speaking.

Yan picked up where he left off: "I guess what he meant was that you should never touch him after he falls asleep, otherwise that high priest will notice."

He moved closer to Adamir and found that the man was indeed lifeless.

He then stood up and looked at Milo: "Wouldn't it be easier to just throw him into the sea?"

“Keep him; we still need him to guide us,” Milo shook his head.

……

...

They simply found a thick canvas and covered Adamir's "body" with it. The snake boat then easily sailed into the inner waterways of the archipelago.

It seems the Serpent People rarely appear in such deep southern territory. Many locals ran out of their houses and peered from the coastal port at the strangely shaped people on the giant ship.

Entering the Zhar region requires no checks. Using its ports for docking or simply passing through is free. The only rule is that if the High Priest's ring senses a Chosen One on your ship, that "lucky one" must stay for the next Pleasure Ritual. Otherwise, the chances of the ship safely returning home are extremely low…

It sounds domineering, but it's still much more humane than the guy following behind the boat, right?
……

Milo and his party did not choose to linger in the Zar Islands, but instead took the shortest route across the dense settlements of the islands.

Even so, it still took almost an hour.

Just as the snake ship was about to leave the last trading port, Yan suddenly let out a heavy sigh.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked with concern.

Milo, who was sitting on the deck railing at the back reading the chronicles, looked up and explained:

"He's fine, he's just disappointed that he doesn't qualify as a sun god."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yan's big eyes darted around, and she hugged Yan's neck to comfort him, "It's okay, I can dress up as the god you want to sleep with!"

Milo, who was behind him, rubbed his forehead hard.

Listening to the conversation between these two ruthless people really gives me a headache.

……

...

Soon after, the snake boat slowly sailed away from the Zar Islands settlement.

Nothing particularly happened during this period.

Yan and Xiao Yan snuggled together, chatting about all sorts of strange and wonderful stories.

Milo continued to flip through the thick chronicle of the Iss in his hand, while Freya sat beside him watching him read the chronicle.

Everyone was very relaxed.

By the time they noticed the furry thing on the deck, it was too late.

Milo, in particular, used the Yis Chronicles as a kind of spoiler, but this thing could not predict all the things that were about to happen. It seemed to only describe the events that were currently related to the holder of the book and recorded what had already happened.

The latest update he saw on the last page was a very short sentence: "There's a dog."

...

Then Freya screamed.

Then the two-meter-tall giant jumped up and hung on Milo.

...

What terrified the ancient dragon bloodline like this was actually a small, black dog.

“Uh, no… it’s just a puppy.” Milo patted Freya, who was riding on his shoulders, reminding her that the action was indecent.

The latter refused to get down no matter what: "I told you I'm afraid of dogs!"

"I thought you were at least afraid of dogs like Tindalos..."

"All dogs!"

...
