Chapter 637: The Hope of the Pearl Clan

Pearl Clan Tribe,

When the clan's fishmen saw Balian coming back, they were overjoyed and gathered around him.

The death of the legendary murloc Matteo, the pillar of the clan, was a huge blow to them. If even the current leader, Belion, were to get into trouble, they would not dare to imagine what they would face in the future.

Occupying the most fertile waters of the Pearl Sea, the Pearl Clan is already facing the attention of other races. If that were to happen, they would be doomed.

Precisely because he anticipated the difficulties he might face, Belion had almost given up fighting for the position of leader of the Murloc Tribal Alliance.

He had brought people to the Church of the Goddess of the Sea to seek help.

The condition of giving up the fight for the leadership position is to ensure that the other party will not target the Pearl Clan.

But now it seems that this is just wishful thinking on his part.

In order to eliminate him, the other side sent a very powerful force to hunt down him and his subordinates.

If Balian had not fought desperately at the last moment, he would have become the enemy's trophy.

Now it seems that the other party not only wants the position of leader of the tribal alliance, but has also been coveting the territory of the Pearl Clan for a long time.

It's impossible to let them go so easily.

Behind the other party stood a legendary crown. Now that Matteo had passed away, there was a mountain of despair weighing on the Pearl Clan.

If he had not met Klaus, Balian would have immediately chosen to abandon all territories when he returned to the clan and lead his people directly out of the Pearl Sea.

If there is a chance in the future, I will come back.

Otherwise, you can only continue to wander.
But now, the appearance of the legendary fishman Klaus has given Balian new hope.

Not to mention that the other party seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Matteo, which made Bellion feel a lot more at ease.

As for not having heard Matteo mention Klaus's name before, what does it matter?

For Balian and the Pearl Clan, the appearance of Klaus (Lees) was a life-saving straw that suddenly appeared in their despair, and they had no other considerations except to hold on to it tightly.

Balian spoke briefly to his tribesmen, then instructed his men to clean up Matteo's former residence.

Then he bowed and invited Klaus to walk towards Matteo's residence.

"Your Majesty, please come this way."

"I'll take you to Master Matteo's residence."

It was not until this time that the fishmen noticed Li Si behind Balian.

The burly figure and powerful aura shocked all the fishmen for a moment, and the whole village fell silent in an instant.

Li Si glanced at the merman tribe in front of him, then followed Belial away with an expressionless face.

Although the buildings of this merman tribe are simple, its area is quite large. The entire shallow sea between the small islands is covered with the tribe's houses.

Li Si made a rough investigation and found that there were probably more than two thousand mermen in the Pearl Merman Tribe.

There are about thirty gold-level murlocs, and the rest are silver-level and bronze-level murlocs.

Yes, the individual strength of the murlocs is at least at the bronze level.

Although their individual strength is relatively strong, the fishmen are not very intelligent and can hardly use high-level magic items, so the actual threat they pose is not that great.

Of course, it’s different when you meet merpeople in the sea, because this is their home turf.

After Klaus's huge figure left, the fishmen seemed to have recovered from their shock and discussed excitedly in low voices:

"Did you hear that? Patriarch Belion called that person His Majesty Klaus, His Majesty!"

"You are truly a legend. I felt like I was suffocating just now. I feel like His Majesty Klaus is even more powerful than Lord Matteo!"

"I know, I know. I knew the Pearl Clan wouldn't end like this!"

"Bullshit, weren't you the one who complained about everything and was ready to run away, Wick?"

"I was thinking about the clan, understand? Can preparing a retreat be called running away?!"

A moment later, Balian led Lis to the center of the tribe, where there was a house that was obviously taller and more exquisite than other buildings.

I guess this is where Matteo lives?

Li Si took a few glances and shook his head slightly.

To him, let alone compared with Kane's floating city, even most of the buildings in Port Danlo are much better than the one in front of him.

The only advantage may be that it is quite spacious for a fishman's body size.

"Lord Claus"

Balian led Li Si into the stone house and was about to say something hesitantly when Li Si waved his hand to stop him.

The fishman Klaus was seen scanning the entire room, his eyes full of emotion and memories, as if he was remembering his deceased friend.

Realizing this, Balian stopped talking and stood aside obediently.

After a while, Li Si sat on the large, polished stone chair in the middle of the room, shook his head and said:

"The last time I saw Matteo, I hadn't yet broken through to the legendary level. I came all the way here to tell him the good news, but I didn't expect that Matteo was gone."

“It’s really hard to accept.”

A hint of regret was revealed on Li Si's ferocious face, as if he was still recalling the past.

When it comes to acting, Li Si has never been inferior to anyone!

"Your Majesty, I believe that when Lord Matteo hears this news, he will definitely be happy for you."

Bellion said quickly, his expression full of respect.

He didn't know whether Matteo was happy or not, but he was very happy now.

It seems that Klaus and Matteo have a good relationship, which is good news for him.

He had previously told Klaus vaguely that the one hostile to the Pearl Clan was a murloc legend, but Klaus came over anyway, not seeming to care at all.

Do not!
Even so, we must seek Klaus' help. He is the last hope of the Pearl Clan!
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Balian did not want to leave his hometown and lead his people to wander around.

"Tell me, what happened to Matteo? Why did he die suddenly?"

After a moment's silence, Li Si looked at Belion and asked in a deep voice.

Bellion's heart tightened, knowing that this was the best chance to gain the other party's support.

"In fact, none of us knew that something like this would happen before."

"Although Georgia and I are competing for the position of leader of the tribal alliance, His Majesty Matteo and His Majesty O'Neill have a good relationship, and the competition between us is limited to a certain range."

"Generally, the candidate for tribal leader needs to wait until the sacrificial ceremony every three years, so Georgia and I have been making preparations during this period."

"Although Lord Matteo supports my competition with Georgia, he doesn't support anything. His Majesty O'Neill seems to be the same."

"But since a year ago, Master Matteo has been away from home quite often. Even when he comes back, he only stays for a few days before going out again."

"Although Lord Matteo never told us what he was doing, it seems that His Majesty O'Neill was also involved in what he was preparing."

"Then two months ago, when Lord Matteo had not returned for three months, someone from the Coral Clan suddenly delivered a letter on behalf of His Majesty O'Neill, informing us that His Majesty Matteo had died."

"Although we don't believe that Master Matteo will die, we have not received any news from him, and the people we sent out have not gained anything."

"For the first month, the Coral Clan lived in peace with us, but then they suddenly started to attack us." "The news of Lord Matteo's death has spread throughout the tribal alliance. More and more fishmen are standing on Georgia's side. The Pearl Clan is no match for them."

Bellion lowered his head and described the situation in as much detail as possible.

He didn't lie, and he didn't need to lie.

The whole thing itself was full of doubts, but he just didn't have the ability to investigate the truth of a legend.

But even though he doesn't have this ability, Lord Klaus does!

Balian placed all his hopes on Klaus.

Li Si listened carefully to Belion's story, asked a few more questions, and then began to think.

His primary purpose in coming to the fishman tribe was to establish a belief system and gather the power of faith.

To achieve this, we must first face two problems.

One is the legend of the murlocs. After all, if a legendary warrior wants to become stronger, the most common choice is to climb the path to becoming a god.

And this involves the distribution of the power of faith.

The murloc tribe in the Pearl Sea is still relatively well off, with only one legend left.

After learning about the approximate strength of the legendary fishman O'Neill through Bellion's memory, Li Si was not actually too worried.

The other party is already very old
But precisely because of this, the desire for the power of faith may become more persistent.

In addition, another possible cause of interference to Li Si is the Church of the Ocean Goddess, which is the deity worshipped by the Pearl Sea fish people.

After all, for the Church of the Goddess of the Sea, the Pearl Sea Mermaid Tribe is their private land and it is impossible to distribute it to others at will, even if they are legends.

If Li Si revealed his true identity, the Church of the Goddess of the Sea would certainly give him this face, but this would go against his purpose of hiding his identity.

The trouble on the side of the Church of the Goddess of the Sea should not be too big. After all, if foreigners want to seize the faith, they are absolute enemies. Li Si still has a chance as he disguises himself as a fishman.

The biggest trouble is still the legendary fish man O'Neal.

For Li Si, there is no opponent more suitable than O'Neal to demonstrate power and gain fame!
After all, if you want to gain the respect of believers and obtain the power of faith, the fastest way is to become the strongest person in the group!
The weak will naturally obey the strong, especially among races that worship strength, such as the murlocs and orcs.

"You are Matteo's descendant, and this is Matteo's clan. I can help you."

After a moment, Li Si looked at Bellion calmly and said.

"But this is not without cost!"

Upon hearing this, Bellion was so surprised that he suddenly raised his head and wanted to agree immediately.

However, he was willing to agree to any price as long as it could save the Pearl Clan.

But at this moment, he found that Klaus in front of him seemed like a different person.

An extremely terrifying aura burst out from him, as if a vicious beast had suddenly awakened, and the pressure he exuded hung heavily on the fishman in front of him like a substance.

Bellion felt his body shaking uncontrollably, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and an unprecedented fear and despair surged in his heart.

At this moment, it truly felt the huge and unbridgeable gap between itself and the legend, as if it was facing an unclimbable mountain, which made it feel awed and unable to resist.

"Think it over carefully before deciding."

Li Si looked at Balian who was sweating coldly and said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty Klaus!"

Balian lowered his head and dared not look at Li Si and replied.

He felt that the fear Li Si brought to him at this moment was much greater than when he met Matteo before.

Is this the legendary His Majesty who is showing his talent?
For some reason, a sense of yearning and awe arose in Bellion's heart.

When will I be able to reach this level?
Bellion shook his head, getting rid of the unrealistic hopes in his head.

The most urgent thing for him and the Pearl Clan now is to get out of their current predicament.

"Alright, kid."

Li Si patted Balian's shoulder fiercely and smiled, revealing his hideous and interlocking teeth.

"For Matteo's sake, I won't make it difficult for you."

"Just worship me and believe in me."

Balian looked up suddenly and looked at Li Si in disbelief.

It was not because the conditions proposed by Li Si were too difficult, but because these conditions were of great benefit to the Pearl Clan.

The power of faith and the like have nothing to do with the murlocs below the legendary level.

Anyway, it’s all about worshipping faith. Believing in the goddess of the sea is also faith, and worshipping Klaus is also worship.

What's more, if Klaus accepted the beliefs of the Pearl Clan, it would be natural to provide corresponding protection.

In other words, the Pearl Clan will have another legendary guardian.

What is there to hesitate about?

Balian nodded quickly, as if afraid that Li Si would go back on his word.

Li Si knew very well the reason for Belion's surprise, but he didn't care too much about it.

Anyway, the faith is directed at the murloc Klaus, what does it have to do with him, Lis Kane?
This kind of religious relationship has no binding force on Li Si at all. If there is any trouble, Li Si will abandon it at will. This is different from the guardian in Balian's mind.

Moreover, as a tribe of mermen who have lived in this sea area for a long time, the Pearl Clan must have collected many treasures in the vast ocean.

And all these belong to him, Li Si!
"All right."

Li Si nodded and said to Belion:

"Now arrange for someone to go to the Coral Clan and pass the message between me and that guy O'Neill."

"As an apology to the great Klaus, send me Georgia as a sacrifice for the Poseidon Festival, or you will die, old man!"

"This"

Balian was shocked for a moment, not knowing whether he should agree or not.

The other party is a legendary powerful man who has existed for a very long time!

"What are you looking at? Go quickly."

Li Si glanced at Balian nonchalantly and smiled grimly:

"Do you want to be a sacrifice?"

"No, I'm going right now!"

Bellion felt as if his heart was being gripped and spoke quickly.

"Forget it, no need."

Li Si stood up, looked towards the east of the village and said with a smile:

"It's delivered to my door. This saves me a lot of trouble!"
