Chapter 94: Wind Island and Storm Territory(1/2)
Alip comes from the "Wind Island", which is the island that Chu Bai selected on the map before.
Alip is the son of a lord on the island, and the lord died of illness not long ago.
Alip's father is also a priest, and most of the demon lords in this world are priests.
The priest's power does not rely on himself, but on a monster called "Dragon Beast".
The so-called dragon beasts, Panhuang landed from Tianzhu sixty-seven years ago, traveled all the way across Tianzhu and the Himalayas, and went straight to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, absorbing some kind of earth energy from the Kunlun Mountains.
That kind of earth energy is called "dragon energy" by Dongxia.
The Kunlun Mountains are considered by Dong Xia to be the ancestral land of dragon veins in the East and the source of the extraordinary, with huge magnetic power and mysterious energy hidden underneath.
Panhuang took the dragon's energy at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, which alerted the Eastern Xia saints and expelled him.
Panhuang's true form is known as Dragon Turtle, Xuanwu, and Baxia. Judging from some of his characteristics, he is of the dragon species.
In Eastern Xia legend, a dragon gave birth to nine sons, one of whom was Bixi, also known as Ba Xia, Dragon Turtle.
However, these dragon energy was not completely absorbed and digested by Panhuang. Instead, it escaped in this space and combined with some demonic beasts to form an alternative dragon species "dragon beast".
The priests selected by Panhuang possess the priest's seal and can make contracts with these dragon beasts to control the dragon beasts.
The initial combat power of the dragon beast is only at the first level, but as it continues to devour creatures or other dragon beasts, form cocoons and transform, its strength will qualitatively change step by step.
This growth time can be said to be quite short. According to Alipu, there are people in this sea area and archipelago who transformed a first-order dragon beast into a fourth-order dragon beast in just three years.
However, the number of creatures and resources that need to be devoured is huge.
There are three ways to become a priest. One is to be directly selected by Panhuang’s consciousness and become a priest.
The second is that the priest takes the initiative to pass on his priest's seal to others, allowing them to become priests.
The third is to kill a priest, and the priest's mark will be automatically transferred to the person who killed the priest.
The second method is generally used by priests to pass on the priest's seal to their blood relatives before death.
Alip's father was the first type of priest, but the dragon beast he controlled was only at the first level, and had not yet reached the threshold of transformation. After his death, he made Alip his successor and passed the priest's seal to him, so
Only then can Alip become a priest.
However, Alip's eldest brother Warsaw was very dissatisfied with this.
In his opinion, he is much better than this good-for-nothing brother in every aspect. His father should have passed on the priest's seal to him, but instead passed it on to Alip.
The seeds of estrangement were planted, and the enmity between brothers developed rapidly.
Alip was completely unprepared for his brother. After a banquet, Warsaw and his guards broke into Alip's room. He put a knife on his neck and forced Alip to transfer the priest's seal to him.
Fortunately, Warsaw still had some feelings of brotherhood, or was afraid of damaging his reputation. After getting the priest's seal, he did not kill Alip, but chose to exile Alip to other islands, out of sight.
Not upset
Then on the way to exile, he met Chu Bai and the others. Originally, Alip wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but Chu Bai directly caught him.
In Alip's view, he had done nothing. First, he was robbed of the priest's seal by his elder brother, and then was exiled. Then he met a group of thugs and almost lost his life. Life is full of twists and turns.
This is what it looks like outside.
After listening to Alip's explanation, Chu Bai couldn't help but say that Alip was really a silly boy, an alien among monsters.
"So, you are just a former priest?"
"A former priest...also a priest..." Alip said weakly.
Alip's shell body quickly deformed and turned into a white-skinned young man, and the shells on his body turned into white armor.
"Although I'm not strong, I'm still different from those low-level guys. Like those low-level demons, they can't even change into humans." Alip was anxious to show off his abilities, fearing that he wouldn't be fooled by the guy in front of him.
He chopped it with a sword and threw it into the sea.
"Where did you learn Dongxia dialect?" Chu Bai asked.
He squinted and looked at Alip.
Alip replied: "There are human beings living on the Wind Island. I learned this when I was still on the island."
"Approximately how many humans are there on the Wind Islands?"
"More than two thousand people, they are slaves in the hands of another lord on the island.
There are three lords in total on the Wind Island."
"Very good." Chu Bai squinted his eyes and looked at Alip with a smile: "Do you still want to return to the Wind Island?"
Alip always felt that his pure smile was inexplicably oozing, but he nodded involuntarily.
"Take your whale, let's go to the Wind Island, let's make a deal, I will help you regain your position as lord, and you only need to..."
——
Qunfeng Island is an island surrounded by sea breeze. The trees on the island are dense and tall.
On the east side of Qunfeng Island is a beach with stone houses dotted in an orderly manner.
On the eastern edge of the beach is the port, where tamed giant whales sink silently in the sea.
Looking from a distance, dried fish are drying on the edge of the beach.
Although there are some intelligent races in Panhuang Space, their lifestyles are quite primitive. The sun rises and the sun sets, and the demons ride whales to catch fish, just like fishermen.
In addition to the shell clan, there are also some other sea clans living in the territory of the Alip family. It can be said that it is a mixed bag.
The beach is only a part of the territory. Under the sea is the real city of their family's territory - Coral City.
There is a kind of alienated coral polyps that live in the sea near Qunfeng Island. They have a strong reproductive ability and only rely on inorganic matter such as sand and gravel in the ocean for food. The remains of corals formed after death are very strong and are excellent for building cities.
Materials.
Alip's family raised these coral polyps and used their remains to build an underwater city.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
However, there are not many people in the Ellip family's territory. Including the general residents, slaves and guards, there are only about two to three thousand people.
The defensive strength of this territory poses no threat to Chu Bai.
The giant whale landed ashore under Ailip's control. However, the beach was empty and there was not a single demon in sight. Even the coral city beneath the sea was empty at this time.
"Strange, what's going on?" Alip was a little confused. In his impression, this beach and the underwater coral city were always very lively. It would be impossible for his eldest brother Warsaw to move with his people just after he was exiled.
.
"Alip, you are back!" From a reef, a clown fish swam out and looked at Alip in surprise.
"Ainz?" Alip looked relieved when he saw the clownfish, "You are still here, where have all the people in the city gone?"
Anz, the clown fish, has been Alip's playmate since he was a child. The two have always had a good relationship. He wanted to come to Warsaw and get the priest's seal and become a lord, but he didn't want to deal with these incompetent henchmen around Alip.
Ainz swung his tail, blew out a few bubbles from his mouth, and looked warily at the strange guys wearing linen robes next to Alip.
The four Zi Chubai people beside Alip were wearing linen robes, their faces were blocked, only one eye was exposed, and their aura was also hidden, which looked a bit weird.
"Alip, who are these guys?" Ainz asked instead without answering Alip's question.
"They are the noble people I met on the road. They saved me so that I could return to Coral City." Alip said. He did not explain too much about Chu Bai and their identities. This was Chu Bai's order and explanation.
The more mistakes there are, the more mistakes there will be, and human identities should not be overly exposed.
"My lord?" Ainz, the clown fish, swam around Alip a few times, "I knew you had good luck. The old lord passed on the position of priest to you, and you were able to come back after being exiled. And you came back at the right time.
Fortunately, there is no one in the city.
You'd better leave as soon as possible. If Warsaw finds out you're back, they will definitely arrest you and lock you up."
Alip grabbed the clownfish by its tail and lifted it up: "Stop chatting, tell me where all the people in the city have gone. Why is there no one there?"
The clownfish was caught in Ailip's hand, swinging his body repeatedly, blowing bubbles and saying: "Warsaw led his soldiers to the Storm Lord to start a war with the Storm Lord.
All the residents in the city were forcibly recruited by him as soldiers."
"Storm Lord!" Alip was surprised, "Storm Lord is the strongest among the three major lords on the Wind Island, and he also has the largest number of soldiers. He has strong soldiers and horses. How can Warsaw have the courage to go to war with Storm Lord?
?"
Ainz, the clown fish, was still spitting bubbles: "Shortly after you were exiled, Warsaw conscripted troops to start a war with the blue jellyfish of the Blue Water Territory, annexed the Blue Water Territory, and its strength was already comparable to that of the Storm Territory.
I didn’t want to work for Warsaw, so I ran away and hid to avoid conscription.
Alip, please leave quickly. Wind Island has become a battlefield. It would be okay if Warsaw loses, but if he wins, it will be miserable for you when you come back."
With a dark face, Alip murmured: "The reason why my father passed the Priest's Seal to me instead of to Warsaw was because he was afraid that Warsaw would go to war with the Storm Lord and lead to the destruction of Coral City."
The clownfish swung its tail, struggled out of Alip's hand, and said: "After annexing the Blue Water Territory, Coral City's strength should be about 50-50 equal to that of the Storm Territory, right?"
"You know what the heck, even if the dragon beasts of Coral City swallowed up the dragon beasts of the Blue Water Territory, they would never be able to defeat the dragon beasts of the Storm Lord in the Storm Territory!
No, I have to stop Warsaw."
"I'm afraid it's too late." Chu Bai said lightly.
Very far away, faint thunder could be heard.
Wind Island, Storm Cliff.
