Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Zhou Ning just glanced at them lightly, and the next second, these northern pirates fell to the ground one after another like harvested wheat, foaming at the mouth.

This was his suppression of the Northern Pirates, stemming from their very bloodline. However, Zhou Ning actually sensed a sense of danger in these Northern Pirates, as if a higher being was watching him through their eyes.

The only deities who could give Zhou Ning this feeling were those who had at least attained godhood and opened the gates to the Kingdom of God. With his current strength, ordinary Angel Kings simply couldn't pose a threat to him.

Who could it be?

It is now confirmed that Poseidon has fallen. Currently, the only ones supporting Poseidon's Church are Poseidon's subordinate god, the god of thunder and lightning, Malses, and an unknown god. His authority is related to sea raiders, weather, and marine life!

Seeing this scene, Marshall swallowed secretly, his expression became more awed, and the carriage became unusually quiet for a moment.

Zhou Ning didn't say anything, but silently raised his guard. He didn't think that the god who used the pirates to spy on him wanted to make friends with him.

In fact, in Dulles City, the Northern Pirates are almost everywhere, and their tall and wretched figures can be seen on almost every street and every corner.

This is the depth of the sea kingdom of Revendreth.

If you look closely, you can see a special symbol reflected in each pirate's pupil, which means that Zhou Ning is still being watched.

The palace of the royal family of Revendreth is located deep in the wealth district, but after crossing the bridge spanning the two areas, this carriage did not go deep into the wealth district, but abruptly turned onto another road, and a thick fog suddenly surged around.

This is a special ability that comes from meteorologists. The top meteorologists, the legendary Weathering Sons, are able to create this powerful smog with hidden properties.

Marshall jumped out of the carriage, helped Zhou Ning open the curtain, and said respectfully:

"Mighty angel, my master is within."

Zhou Ning nodded, collected his thoughts, and followed Marshall into the manor. The vague feeling of being watched still lingered, but it was now quite mild, completely vanishing once they reached the depths of the manor.

After passing a road paved with gray basalt, he passed a statue of a muscular sea god. Due to his PTSD of having seen too many statues come to life, Zhou Ning paid special attention to this statue. Its divinity had completely dissipated.

Entering the main house and going up to the second floor, Marshall quickly came to a closed door, reached out and knocked on the door, then leaned in front of the door panel and whispered:

"Master, His Majesty Sternwell has arrived."

Almost at the same time, an old voice sounded impatiently:

"Please invite His Majesty Sternwell in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Zhou Ning walked into the room and saw an old man with gray hair and a kind face standing up from his chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to greet him.

"Finally, I meet you, Your Majesty Stwell. The weather is beautiful today. I am Bulwell, the current King of Revendreth."

"At least there's no rain or snow." Zhou Ning smiled and asked directly:

"Is there something you want me to do?"

This is the biggest characteristic of Revendreth. The nobles like to talk about the weather, while the common people like to talk about politics. In the future, every Revendreth person is a politician.

Bulwer VII obviously did not expect Zhou Ning to be so direct. He paused and said:

"I have asked you to come here to form a partnership. My request may be presumptuous, but this is Revendreth's best chance."

"From what I understand, you must have had conflicts with both the Poseidon Cult and the Parliament of Knowledge, right?"

Seeing Zhou Ning remained silent, Bulwer VII continued:

"That's why I think there's a basis for cooperation between us. You might not be familiar with the current situation in Revendreth. Currently, 80% of Revendreth's trade income is controlled by the Church of Poseidon. The Council of Knowledge appears to be a group of people dedicated to the pursuit of truth, with little interest in worldly matters. However, in reality, they control the vast majority of formulas above the expert level. Even the vast majority of commercial organizations in the kingdom are closely tied to the Council of Knowledge."

A bitter smile appeared on his face as he spoke. "On the surface, the Knowledge Council advocates for free knowledge, but in reality, it shifts the cost of sharing knowledge onto the Sea Kingdom of Revendreth."

"The royal family of Revendreth you see is actually just a puppet of these two sects. We barely even have the opportunity to pass on information to the outside world. It wasn't until you showed up that I saw hope."

"And you may have noticed the recent increase in knowledge transfer in Revendreth. We have ample evidence that this is the work of the Council of Knowledge colluding with a secret sect. They are transferring human knowledge to animals, even including extraordinary abilities."

"If we leave them alone, it is very likely that all human beings, including me, will become puppets without thoughts or knowledge."

"This is why I wanted to find you. The Royal Family of Revendreth wants to cooperate with you and the Church of the Starry Sky behind you to fight against the Church of Poseidon and the Parliament of Knowledge. Help us break free from their control."

At this moment, Zhou Ning's game panel suddenly moved:

[You have triggered the A-rank faction quest [The Request of the Royal Family of Revendreth]!]

[Mission Summary: In order to break free from the control of the two major sects, King Bulwer VII of the Kingdom of Revendreth has approached the Church of the Starry Sky for help.

"This feels like a major main quest. Looks like I accidentally changed the plot again this time."

Zhou Ning understood it clearly. It had been said before that different countries had their own main quests. Originally, the main quest of the current version of the Kingdom of Revendreth was that Bulwer VII died in a tsunami during his visit to the Kingdom of Sifarik, and the subsequent story was the prince's revenge.

Now the plot had changed, and the quest he'd received was clearly the main storyline quest for the Kingdom of Revendreth. He'd been planning to collaborate with the Revendreth royal family, so triggering the main storyline was a pleasant surprise. The Kingdom mainline plus the version mainline, double the rewards, double the fun, it was like killing two birds with one stone.

After the faction leader, Zhou Ning, chooses to accept this task, players can also trigger it. In a sense, this can be regarded as fertilizing the leeks to facilitate their own harvesting.

Although he wanted to agree immediately, the Starry Sky Church had no precedent for working for nothing. Zhou Ning looked at Bulwer VII calmly and asked in a deep voice:

"You also know that there is no such thing as something for nothing in this world. If we agree to cooperate with you, what can the Starry Sky Church gain?"
