Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 127 [Secrets of the King of the North Sea]

After a while, someone gently stepped into the castle that was already wrapped in smoke, blood, death, and wailing.

This person passed by the howling crowd and reached the highest point.

The entrance of the banquet hall.

The battle is over.

Sandro died, and Ethan was the last one standing.

Behind him was the ruined banquet hall, filled with people crawling on the ground.

At that moment, it seemed as if Ethan had become king.

"Hello again, Ethan."

The person who came was naturally Solomon who came through the air.

He glanced at the dead Sandro, then turned his gaze to Ethan.

"Yes, we meet again, Mr. Solomon."

Ethan didn't show any sign of backing down, he was very calm, as if he had expected Solomon to come.

"So, would you mind telling me what happened here?"

"Which version do you want to hear? The official version or the unofficial version?"

Ethan did not answer directly, but instead asked this question.

"What is the official version, and what is the unofficial version?"

Solomon was intrigued.

"The official story, of course, is that I was invited to Sandro's banquet, but he attacked us without provocation. I fought back, and my loyal subordinates protected me. Sandro died at his hands."

Ethan was also slow and unhurried, but the wounds on his body were still bleeding and his face was extremely pale.

Solomon seemed a little bit overwhelmed, and he stretched out his finger and said, "This man's blood will no longer flow, and he will not die at this moment."

The next moment, Ethan's bleeding stopped and his physical condition seemed to be better.

"Let's talk about the unofficial ones."

"The unofficial version is that I came to seek revenge on Sandro, and at a critical moment, he suddenly revealed a strength beyond my comprehension. Fortunately, the King of the North Sea suddenly appeared at this time and, for some unknown reason, severely injured him, giving me the opportunity to kill Sandro myself."

Ethan looked directly at Solomon.

Solomon was also looking at him: "You don't think I will let you go just by saying that?"

"Of course not, but if possible, I hope Your Excellency can forgive the sins of my loyal subordinates afterwards."

Ethan seemed very tired and leaned against the wall.

"That's very brave of you, Ethan, but why not?"

Solomon said something very bold, but his tone actually sounded more appreciative.

Soon, Solomon's men arrived.

The entire castle has been sealed off and has now become a temporary prison and interrogation room.

Even though there are still a lot of corpses and bullets here.

Just like a replica of the experience in that luxurious hotel, Ethan and his companions were separated into rooms for interrogation.

Solomon was really nice to him and even found someone to help treat his injuries.

"Now, answer my question, are you the King of the North Sea?"

Without any preparation, Solomon directly asked the ultimate question.

This question was accompanied by an extremely sharp, cold and majestic mental shock and command.

If it were an ordinary person, he would only kneel down and beg for mercy and give the correct answer.

Ethan had already experienced too many such shocks, and he had also consumed the true blood in advance, so he just needed to continue acting according to the script.

"I'm not." Solomon walked away and went to other people's rooms.

He kept asking the same question over and over again.

Even those badly injured leaders of Winster could not escape his questioning.

He was like a tireless interrogation machine, asking the same questions dozens or even hundreds of times, without even the slightest change in tone or pause.

Finally, he returned to Ethan's room.

"Very good. Next question, what is your relationship with Ned, and what role did he play in this matter?"

It's still something in the script.

Ethan's answer was flawless.

In fact, the person who reminded Ned to look out the window was naturally Ethan.

When he sneaked back to Winster to look for Gustav, in addition to obtaining the key information about the real names of the Saints of the Row, he also obtained information about the King of the North Sea.

Gustav's friend in the capital sent him information about the King of the North Sea via telegram.

The other party did not have much information about the King of the North Sea, because the so-called King of the North Sea was originally a very niche and unpopular name.

In history, there is almost no acknowledgement that such a person ever existed.

According to the existing information, it is generally believed that the King of the North Sea is a semi-god and semi-legendary figure circulated among the indigenous people of the New World.

He first appeared in the epic ballads passed down orally by the indigenous peoples of the northern New World.

Later, interested people conducted in-depth research and found that he might be the ruler of the northern part of the New World in ancient times.

However, through some ancient artifacts whose authenticity is unknown, the King of the North Sea is suspected to be related to the early worship of the sea god.

In the legends of the ancestors of the New World, the sea was divided into the kingdom of the King of the North Sea, and he and his brother and sister held the power of the sea.

His younger brother was called Digonis, Lord of Storms and Oceans.

His sister was called Aphrodite, goddess of the sea and springs.

On the contrary, there is no record or circulation of the name of the King of the North Sea himself.

This would have contained almost no useful information, but Ethan had that dream.

He dreamed of the woman who called herself Afraiya and she also called him brother.

At that moment, he understood that his brother was the King of the North Sea.

And her younger sister Aphrodite...is the sea goddess Isis!

Because in some versions of the myth, Aphrodite is the predecessor of the sea goddess Isis, which is also included in the information.

Ethan felt he had discovered some incredible secrets.

But that was a matter for the future. His most important task at the time was to resolve the mess at Winster.

He knew that Ned was being targeted.

Originally he could do nothing about it, but after discovering the secret, he came up with a solution.

So he transformed himself into a messenger of Isis and went directly to Ned to give him instructions.

Ned's existence is still very useful. At least, it is of great help to Ethan's future development in Winchester.

Besides, Sophia is indeed a good girl and she will help if she can.

The rising Saint Quanti in the castle and Ethan's answer at this moment should help Ned escape.

Solomon remained calm after hearing the answer. He stood up again and began a new round of questioning.

This long interrogation lasted from day to night, and from night to day.

The moment he saw the new sun rising in the sky, Ethan knew that his world had arrived.

The sun is his crown.
