On the shore of an unknown island in the Whirlpool Sea, civilians who had just been rescued by Nord were queuing up to board the ship.

Nord gave the Shadow Church's ships to the civilians and let them sail home by themselves.

As for the members of the Shadow Church on the boat, they were naturally thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Before every civilian boarded the ship, they would thank Nord profusely, making him so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and the haze in his heart was relieved a lot.

"Can they sail a boat?" asked Xiduolan, who had come over at some point.

Nord replied: "The Shadow Church has captured everyone on the ship, including the captain and the sailors. They will definitely be able to drive the ship away."

Xi Duolan nodded slightly, and then asked: "You seem a little uneasy, is it because you heard bad news?"

"Yes, you just heard it. The guardian of the Shadow Church was urgently recalled. It must be because of the Nightmare God in his hand."

Nord sighed and said, "You should be very familiar with the Nightmare God's strength. You won't need Him to deal with ordinary enemies."

"It seems that the Shadow Church has found the traces of the three subordinate gods. I don't know if it is the God of Thunder or the God of Ice."

Sidoran lived on a volcanic island in the Whirlpool Sea, and of course he had heard of the reputation of the God of the Sea and the three major gods.

The power of the Sea God is needless to say, and the other three gods are also very powerful.
Fortunately, Poseidon does not have a strong sense of territory and usually sleeps on the seabed.

The three gods do have a sense of territory, but their relationship is not harmonious.

Not only do they not cooperate, they sometimes even fight, prompting Poseidon to come out and physically mediate.

Therefore, Xiduolan will not face a situation of one against three, but if it is just one person who belongs to God, it is not impossible for it to fight.

The nearby God of Fire was also wary of Xiduolan's strength, fearing that he would be injured in the battle and allow the God of Thunder and the God of Ice to take advantage of the opportunity.

As a result, the two sides kept their distance from each other, and Sidoran was able to stay on the volcanic island.

"Those three birds have bad tempers and are quite powerful. The people from the Shadow Church may not be able to catch them."

Sidoran said disapprovingly that he felt that Nord overestimated the strength of the Shadow Church.

How could ordinary humans capture magical beasts like these, which are revered as gods by humans?

Nord shook his head: "If the Shadow Church was not sure of capturing the three gods, they would not be so confident in looking for the traces of the three gods."

"Don't underestimate their abilities. The Shadow Church was indeed very weak before, and was hunted down by the royal family and the Sea God Temple."

"But the Shadow Church is different now. Not only do they know how to keep a low profile, they also hold great power."

"I have also heard of the Nightmare God's reputation. He is a powerful god on par with the Dream God."

"The reason why the royal family can still maintain its rule is, on the one hand, because of the agreement between the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon tribe and the royal family, and on the other hand, because of the legend of the Dream God."

"It's just a vague legend, but it can frighten the four major families in the capital. This shows the power of the God of Dreams."

"The Nightmare God can be ranked on par with the Dream God. His strength should not be underestimated."

"Unlike the royal family, the Shadow Church has completely mastered the power of the Nightmare God and is fully capable of impacting the royal family's rule."

"But they are still acting in secret, which is enough to prove that they have a bigger plan!"

Xi Duolan was surprised and asked, "You mean they captured the three gods to achieve other goals?"

"Is it possible?"

Nord continued, "Yes, the ultimate target of the Shadow Church is most likely Poseidon."

Upon hearing this, Xiduolan almost couldn't help but spit out a ball of fire. It said in disbelief:

"They are so bold that they dare to provoke the Sea God. Once he gets angry, your kingdom will be destroyed!"

Nord shrugged. "The Shadow Church doesn't care about the safety of the kingdom. Destruction and destruction are their doctrines."

"For them, using the risk of the kingdom's destruction in exchange for a chance to master the power of the Sea God is a sure win."

When Xi Duolan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"What a bunch of lunatics! Why do you humans always have lunatics who are willing to give up everything for power?"

Nord corrected him: "To be precise, it is for the dream. Strength is just a step to realize the dream."

"Are dreams so important?" Xiduolan asked puzzledly.

"It depends on the person. Some people are content with the status quo and just get by, while others will sacrifice their lives for their dreams."

Nord said as he looked at the civilians who were boarding the ship one after another, his eyes somewhat complicated.

"Although most people in the Shadow Church are scum, some of their top leaders still have dreams."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked being hunted down to rebuild the Shadow Church, and I wouldn't have coveted your power."

"It's just that their dream comes at the cost of human suffering, so in our eyes, their dream should be called a conspiracy."

Xi Duolan said blankly: "I still don't understand what you humans are thinking, but I still don't think the Shadow Church can capture those two wild birds."

"They are not like me, trapped on the island. If I can't defeat them, I can just fly away."

Nord said with a serious expression: "You think too simply. Not all gods are as flexible as you."

"Some gods value their reputation more than their lives. You also said that the three great gods have bad tempers. They will not run away easily."

Xi Duolan'en was full of black lines and said, "Why do you sound so awkward? Are you calling me shameless?"

Nord said helplessly: "I am obviously praising you. It is normal to run away when you can't win. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

"As long as I am still alive, I will be able to take revenge sooner or later. Why bother about temporary gains and losses?"

Xi Duolan nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I like to hear that!"

Nord continued, "And even if they wanted to run away, it would be difficult for them to do so."

"You have seen the power of the Nightmare God. Coupled with the black crystal that can make the monster explode for a short time, even the three gods will find it difficult to gain an advantage."

"Not to mention that they are always arrogant and will most likely underestimate the enemy, and they will definitely suffer a great loss then."

"The most important thing is that the Shadow Church may not only have the Nightmare God. Don't forget that the Nightmare God was also controlled by them after being defeated."

"Ordinary monsters are no match for the Nightmare God. Maybe the Shadow Church has other powers in its hands."

After hearing this, Xiduolan also felt that what Nord said made sense. The white-haired beast's moves were disgusting, and it could fly and hide in the ground (sneak into the shadows). Ordinary monsters really couldn't catch it.

"So what should we do now? Disrupt their efforts to capture the three gods?"

Xiduolan was a little anxious as it was also being targeted by the Shadow Church.

If the Shadow Church captures the three great gods and targets it again, it will never have a peaceful life again.

"We don't even know where they are operating, so we can't sabotage them even if we want to."

"The only way for us now is to find the God of Fire before them." Nord said with a frown.

"The God of Fire has a bad temper. Will he believe what we say?" Sidolan asked worriedly. Nord replied, "He will definitely not believe it at first. Just give him a beating."

"Isn't Poseidon using physical methods to stop fighting? We can try that too."

"By the way, can you defeat the God of Fire? A little competition can improve your strength, but if the gap in strength is too big, it will be difficult for you to win."

When Hearing Nord question his strength, Xiduolan immediately became annoyed.

In its opinion, among the three great gods, except for the God of Thunder who is a bit troublesome, the God of Ice and the God of Fire are not to be feared.

The former is because of attribute restraint, and the latter is because fire-attribute moves are useless against it and will instead enhance the power of its moves.

So Xi Duolan said confidently: "Humph, even if Xiaobi doesn't transmit energy to me, I can still suppress it!"

"Is it true?" Nord asked doubtfully.

Xi Duolan said firmly: "Just wait and see, as long as Xiaobi transfers his power to me, I can roast the God of Fire into a roast chicken!"

"Okay, okay, I feel relieved with your words. You are worthy of being the God of Volcanoes."

Seeing that his provocation was successful, Nord stopped provoking Sidorlan and started saying nice things to him.

Xiduolan looked at Nord suspiciously, always feeling that he was being tricked by the other party.

It looked at Nord and sighed, "How did you suddenly become so smart? You can analyze the Shadow Church's plan and use words to arouse my fighting spirit. Didn't Xiaobi say that you are a reckless man?"

Nord scratched his head embarrassedly: "I don't know. Since leaving the territory, my mind has become clearer. I didn't want to use my brain before, maybe because there were too many trivial things in the territory, which blocked my thinking."

Victini, who was standing next to him, rolled his eyes when he heard Nord say that.

What does all the trivial matters in the territory have to do with you? Aren’t they all handled by White?
Nord also saw Victini's expression, so he found another suitable excuse:

"It may also be because I prefer adventure. In the process of realizing dreams, human beings will always stimulate their own potential."

"Dreams again. Do you humans value dreams so much?" Xiduolan asked doubtfully.

Nord did not answer Sidolan directly, but just raised his chin and said with a smile:

"Did you see that fellow named Trobado? I'll bet you that the reason he didn't get on board was because he wanted to join us."

"Oh? Why are you so sure?"

Xiduolan also saw Trobado. As expected, the other party was wandering around in the same place and looking at them from time to time.

"The reason is very simple. He just said that he is a wandering bard. He went out to sea to find material so that he could write an epic poem that would be passed down to future generations."

"From his attire and conversation, it's not hard to tell that this kid is definitely from an aristocratic family, and his family's title may be higher than mine."

"A nobleman would rather give up his family's luxury and go out to sea to be a bard. This shows that he is the kind of person who pursues his dreams."

"So he won't give up easily. Even if he encounters danger and almost dies on this island, he will continue to pursue his dream."

As soon as he finished speaking, Trobado, who was not far away, seemed to have made up his mind and walked towards them resolutely.

"Lord Nord, may I join you?"

Nord smiled proudly at Xiduolan: "You see, this is the charm of dreams!"

“Weigh anchor!!”

“Raise the sail!!”

With the sailors shouting loudly, the Nord's ship slowly sailed away from the island.

The sailors on the ship all knew what Nord had done, but they were not at all moved.

In this era, sailors who dared to go to sea had their heads tied to their belts and were mentally prepared to die at sea.

Not only will you encounter ferocious monsters on the sea, but you will also encounter vicious pirates, and even merchant ships will rob each other.

Therefore, the sailors were already accustomed to murder and arson, not to mention that Nord killed members of the Shadow Church, they couldn't wait to applaud.

And the stronger the Nord is, the more their lives will be protected.

The sailors were so busy complimenting Nord that they had no chance to blame him for killing people.

So, amid the flattery of the sailors, Nord happily took Trobado to the captain's room.

He sat down on the chair and said to the somewhat nervous Trobado:
"Don't be nervous. I was also a noble before. We might even be related."

"You are also a noble?" Trobado said in surprise.

"What? Doesn't look like it?" Nord joked.

Trobado shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, very similar, no wonder you have such noble air."

Nord laughed and said, "Forget it. I don't have any noble airs. I'm just a down-and-out lord who wants to avenge his brother."

"You should be able to see that I have a grudge against the Shadow Church, and I will continue to fight against the Shadow Church until one side wins the final victory."

"So the days ahead will be extremely dangerous. Do you regret getting on board now?"

Trobado thought for a moment, raised his head and replied:
"I have no regrets. As long as I can write a great work, it's worth it even if it costs my life!"

Although he was scared to death and felt extremely regretful after being captured by the Shadow Church.

But as death approaches, what he thinks about is not his family and the maid, but the fact that he will never be able to complete his epic masterpiece.

It was also at this moment that he truly understood the meaning of his life.

He must write a great work before he dies, otherwise he will die with regrets!

Looking at Trobado's determined eyes, Nord's smile became even brighter:
"Well, it's too late for you to regret. I just happen to be in need of someone to record my adventures."

"If I'm unlucky and die at the hands of those bastards, my son and descendants will still know what I did, and my life won't be lived in vain!"

Trobado said hesitantly, "I want to write an epic masterpiece. If your experience is not exciting enough, I will not waste my time on you. At most, I will write a short biography for you."

When Nord heard Trobado's blunt words, he smiled instead of getting angry:

"Hahahahahaha, your personality is just what I like."

"Don't worry, my story will definitely meet your requirements."

“Thinking back to when I was…”

Before Nord could finish his words, he heard a commotion outside.

He stood up and walked out of the captain's room, and saw the sailors surrounding a magical beast.

When he saw the monster clearly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly:

"I knew you would follow me, Tan-shi!" (End of this chapter)
