We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 40 The Sea Clan's Gift

In fragments of memory.

There are scenes of teenagers practicing sword swings repeatedly, and scenes of young people sparring with their peers.

There are also images of middle-aged men using swords to slit the throats and pierce the hearts of their enemies, while stepping on countless corpses.

During the process of absorbing memories, many combat experiences and sword skills were also integrated into Xia En's mind and became part of his instincts.

When he opened his eyes again, Xia En had gained a detailed understanding of this sword technique.

It was as if he had practiced it hundreds or thousands of times.

Shadow Swordsmanship (Mastery)

The information on the panel also proved that Shane's feelings were not a misperception.

"Does this crystal from the secret sea contain the swordsmanship skills and experience of the attendant?"

Xia En was greatly surprised.

It was already incredibly powerful to absorb the talents of creatures from the Secret Sea, but now it's even taking away their skills?

But on second thought, Xia En guessed that this was probably just a low-probability event.

This prince's attendant, without even realizing it, merged with the mutated coral.

It can be said that he is both human and coral monster, which is why this precious swordsmanship experience is preserved in the secret sea crystal within his body.

"You are a respectable swordsman, and everything you have done has not been in vain."

Standing before the coral-like corpse, Shane murmured to himself.

Then, he took out the Hui Sect talisman and activated a bright and warm ball of light, which completely purified the huge corpse.

This can be considered a merciful release for the swordsman.

Only after the entire corpse had turned to ash did Xia En put away the amulet, and at the same time, he felt a little dizzy.

This is a sign of excessive mental energy depletion.

Shaun composed himself and was about to continue exploring this "Prince's Residence" instance.

Just then, Ann stepped forward, blocking his way, and looked warily toward the mansion's gate.

"Ok?"

Xia En raised an eyebrow and looked warily toward the door.

Several sea creatures swam into the gate at some point, looking at Xia En and his companion with different gazes, while muttering something in their own language.

These eyes held wariness, awe, and fear...

Some even carried a hint of fanaticism and worship.

Unable to communicate, Xia En was unsure of their attitudes, whether they were friends or foes.

On the other side, Ann, beneath his armor, had a resolute gaze.

He had heard that the sea creatures of Coral City were not friendly towards humans on the surface of the sea.

Most of the time, they maintain a respectful distance and are unwilling to come into contact with humans.

However, some ethnic groups actively drive away or hunt down salvage workers who dive into the sea.

In An's opinion, this group of sea creatures clearly saw him and the captain as their prey.

Moreover, judging from their posture, they seem to be calling on their friends and accomplices to surround and kill the two of them.

'We can't delay any longer!'

An looked deeply at Xia En and made up her mind.

'Even if it costs me my life, I will protect your safety.'

Just as he was preparing to break through the encirclement, the sea creatures suddenly parted to the sides, and a young sea creature girl swam towards Xia En and his companion, a joyful smile on her face.

An was slightly taken aback.

When did sea creatures start using honey traps?

Is she still a young girl?
However, Captain, you surely won't fall for such a low-level trick, will you?
To everyone's surprise, as the girl approached, Xia En visibly relaxed and waved his hand, indicating that Ann didn't need to be so nervous.

install:"?????"

This sea girl was none other than Hela, who had met Shane once before.

She had no idea what the strange armored man was thinking; she simply took out a necklace made of white conch shells and respectfully presented it to Xiaen with both hands. [The Magical Conch Shell Necklace]

[Quality: Rare]

[Type: Equipment]

[Description: A necklace made from a magical conch shell rich in mystical power. Wearing it allows one to communicate with sea creatures in the ocean.]

In the City of Coral, only the most distinguished guests can receive this gift.

"Gift?"

After glancing at the description of the necklace, Xia En immediately understood what it meant.

He took the necklace and put it around his neck.

Immediately, an invisible, mysterious force field seemed to expand outward from the conch shell.

"Lord God Envoy!"

The girl's clear and melodious voice rang in Xia En's ears and transformed into understandable words.

Upon hearing this, Xia En's expression turned strange.

Messenger of God?

Who is the messenger of God?

I?
"Oh right, I almost forgot to mention, my name is Hela, and I am the daughter of the Sith clan chief."

Hela continued her eloquent explanation: "We just saw the traces of you purifying the [polluted], so we followed you all the way here, and sure enough, we found you."

She glanced at the large area of ​​white ash on the ground, her expression growing even more admiring: "It seems you have purified another powerful [Polluter]."

"As expected of the Divine Envoy!"

Purification? Polluter?
Hearing these new terms, Xia En's lips twitched slightly.

He clearly understood the sea creatures' language, yet it seemed as if he didn't.

Xia En felt a little flustered, but on the surface he maintained his unfathomable and mysterious demeanor.

With the cover of a black robe and a projected body, almost no one can see his true expression, which makes him unfathomable.

After a rapid mental search, Shane quickly guessed the truth of the matter.

The term "polluter" clearly refers to the bizarre coral monster.

The so-called "purification" generally refers to the process of eliminating the polluters using Hui religious amulets.

The fact that I was regarded as a divine messenger is probably related to the effect of this amulet.

Just as Xia En had figured out what had happened, another middle-aged man swam out from the sea creatures.

Assad glanced at his daughter first, then said in a deep voice, "Hela, you must not be disrespectful to the divine messenger!"

Hela, who had been quite lively just moments before, immediately quieted down, pouted, and swam to the side.

"My Lord, I am Asad, the patriarch of the Sith Clan."

Assad placed his hand on his chest, bowed to Shane, and said.

"First of all, on behalf of the people of Coral City, I would like to thank you for your achievements."

“Every year, a large number of our compatriots die from the attacks and pollution caused by polluters. We will remember your good deed of purifying the polluters.”

Xia En's lips twitched again.

I really just came here to grind monsters and level up, how did I become the divine messenger you all talk about?

Of course, while he might think it, Xia En would never say it out loud.

Through Assad's words, he was able to confirm his suspicions.

It was his actions in eliminating the coral monsters that earned him the worship of these sea creatures.

Upon careful consideration, Xia En realized that this was actually a good thing.

Although he is not a legitimate divine messenger, he certainly won't let any coral monster (experience pack) he encounters go unnoticed. Bearing the title of divine messenger will undoubtedly bring him many advantages.

As soon as Shane had this thought, Assad continued, "Secondly, you saved my daughter earlier, so please allow me, as a father, to express my gratitude to you."

He waved to his people behind him, and several sea creature women swam out carrying several boxes.
