It must be said that Allen's ceremony to spread faith was very simple, with no miracles, no angels, and not even light in the sky.
It is simply incomparable to the rituals of real gods in the mortal world, and is even worse than some false gods in the Age of Gods.
But because all the new humans among these people are absolutely loyal to Allen, coupled with the previous battle to defend the city and the emotional exaggeration, it is so easy for the soldiers to become believers.
No matter when, this kind of success cannot be replicated.
The main content of this victory celebration ceremony is to spread faith, and the rest is to reward people.
Allen first told everyone that the island was officially renamed Dawn Island, and the castle naturally became Dawn Castle.
The first person to be named was Crete, who officially became Allen's guardian knight and was also named the commander of the Ebon Blade Legion.
The second person to be ennobled was Kelly. Allen granted her the title of baronet and she is still the master of the Harvey family.
This is what Allen promised her originally.
However, Kelly's baron does not have a territory now, it is just an honorary title - this is what she asked for.
"My mission is to serve you, not to become a lord. The Harvey family does not need territory now!"
This is what Kelly said in public after the knighthood.
She didn't want it, and Allen didn't force it on her - this was originally a choice Allen gave her.
The third recipients of the award were Lesa and Doron.
The original three legions were broken up and assembled into the Legion of Dawn.
Lesa and Dolon are the commanders of the first and second legions of Dawn respectively, and Gangle is Lesa's deputy.
As for the president of the Dawn Legion, Allen chose to be temporarily vacant.
This made both Lesa and Doron jealous.
After all these things were over, the banquet in the castle officially began.
This was a carnival for the soldiers. Allen knew that if he stayed, he would suppress everyone's interest, so he consciously retreated to the main building of the castle.
…
…
The endless sea.
The canvas on the mast whirled with the sea breeze, and the Blood Shadow sailing downwind reached its speed, rising and falling in the waves.
At this time, Mark, the captain of the Blood Shadow and the leader of the Blood Shadow Pirates, who holds the title of Deep Sea Blood Shadow, was standing on the bow of the ship, holding a telescope and observing the sea ahead.
This time the hunt was fruitful again, but Mark didn't look good.
As the Blood Shadow continued to move forward, Mark's expression became more and more serious.
He stared forward with his eyes widened, and the scar on the side of his face began to tremble slightly along with the flesh.
The sailors nearby did not dare to come forward when they saw this - they all knew that this was a sign that Mark was angry.
"Otto, Otto, get here!"
Mark put down the telescope and shouted without looking back.
"What's wrong, boss?"
A short, fat man trotted up to me with slow steps.
"Is your route correct?" Mark asked coldly.
"Of course, we have taken this route dozens of times, and it has long been engraved in my mind!"
Otto patted his chest and promised confidently: "Right now, we can go home in one hour!"
"An hour?"
Mark sneered, grabbed Otto's collar and dragged him to the side of the boat. With his other hand, he pinched Otto's stubby neck and pointed at the sea. He asked loudly: "Take a good look, where is home?!"
Otto didn't know why his boss Mark was angry, but he still followed the instructions and scanned the sea surface.
And after reading it, he understood.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Otto shouted in disbelief, "I can't be wrong!"
He is not a newbie, and this route is the one he is most familiar with.
It may be a mistake to enter a new sea area, but the way home will definitely not be wrong!
"No way? So you mean you and I are both blind?"
Mark asked again coldly.
Then he handed the telescope to Otto and ordered: "Take a closer look!"
Otto took the telescope and began to search the sea, but still could not see any trace of the island.
The fog is very thin during the day, and if there are islands within the field of vision, you can definitely see them clearly with a telescope.
But now there is nothing on the calm sea.
"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong!"
Otto's eyes widened and he kept repeating, as if he was demented.
"Stop fucking talking, idiot!"
Mark slapped Otto on the face, and the huge force knocked him to the ground, and blood instantly flowed from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.
"Now hurry up and find out where we are!"
Mark now wanted to split open Otto's head with a knife to see if it was brain or shit inside.
But he couldn't, because although Otto was only the first mate, he was responsible for all navigation matters. If he were to cut him off, he would be even less able to find the direction.
"I'm looking for it now!"
Otto did not dare to neglect, casually touched the blood on his face and began to look at the navigation charts.
But no matter how you look at it, Blood Shadow Island should be right in front of the fleet.
"Is the compass broken?"
Otto hurried back to the cabin, took out the spare compass and compared it - the two compasses showed the same result.
For a moment, Otto's mind went blank, not knowing what exactly happened.
"Did I really get confused and go in the wrong direction?"
Otto muttered.
As we all know, islands will not disappear out of thin air, and now that the compass is not broken, the result is that he went on the wrong path.
Or maybe they encountered some terrible ocean beast and used magic to disorient them.
Thinking of this, Otto was suddenly so frightened that his whole heart began to tremble.
"What a waste!"
Mark kicked the timid fat man angrily.
At this time, Mark also guessed what Otto was thinking. It is not unusual to encounter anything while sailing on the sea.
What matters is how to solve it and whether there is still a chance of survival.
“If you can’t find your home, just look around to see if there are other islands to stay on!”
Mark ordered angrily.
Otto raised his head and said with some fear: "Black Reef Island and Greystone Island are both close to home. If you are lucky, you may encounter them..."
"Then why don't you look for it quickly! Why don't you wait until dark and die!"
Mark ordered loudly.
This is an unfamiliar sea area, and no one can tell whether it is safe, especially at night when all kinds of strange creatures come out to move around.
At this time, a woman wearing a robe and a black gauze covering her face came out of the cabin and asked: "What happened?"
The woman's voice was clear and sweet, but her tone was extremely cold, with a hint of condescending questioning.
However, Mark was not angry at all when he heard this voice. He explained politely: "Your Excellency Angina, there are just some minor incidents in the route. You don't have to worry. It will be adjusted soon."
Anjina frowned slightly and asked, "How long until we can get to Blood Shadow Island?"
"Come on, come on, we'll definitely be there before night falls!" Otto replied hurriedly.
"Mr. Mark, I can come with you solely because of the heart of oak you mentioned,"
Angina ignored Otto's answer, looked at Mark with cold eyes, and said: "You'd better really have a heart of oak, otherwise you should know the consequences of deceiving a mage."
"Of course, how dare I deceive the distinguished mage."
Facing Angina's sarcastic words, Mark didn't feel unhappy at all, and even had a smile on his face, even though the smile was ugly and ferocious.
"That's good."
Angina replied, turned around and returned to the cabin.
After the female mage left, the smile on Mark's face disappeared instantly, and anger took over again.
Otto turned his head quickly and returned his attention to the navigation chart.
…
Otto still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he sailed in the direction of Black Reef Island on the navigation chart.
But the result was still nothing.
This made him completely panicked.
In contrast, Mark became more and more calm, without any worry on his face.
"Keep looking!"
Mark ordered.
The positions of Black Reef Island, Greystone Island and Blood Shadow Island together form an acute triangle.
After searching for these three places, it can be regarded as a circle around the nearby sea area.
So regardless of whether that location was Greystone Island or not, Otto had to search in that direction.
As the saying goes, fate doesn't play tricks on those who like to try.
As the Blood Shadow continued to approach Greystone Island, Mark finally saw hope through the telescope.
He pointed forward and asked: "Is that Greystone Island in front of you?"
Otto looked at the navigation chart in his hand, then picked up the telescope and looked ahead.
"That is indeed the location of Greystone Island...but Greystone Island shouldn't be that big..."
What makes Otto even more confused is that if the one in front is Greystone Island, then where are Blood Shadow Island and Black Reef Island?
But if not, then there is an island at the location of Greystone Island. Is it a coincidence?
He thought about it, but he was still confused.
Mark looked at the setting sun on the sea level, knowing that there was no other choice, he immediately ordered,
"Just go to the island in front!"
No matter what this island is, it should be safer than the ocean at night, right?
