In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"Oh, I see. Sorry, sorry." Drake smiled. "Actually, I should be thanking you."

"Thank me?" Lawrence pointed to himself, somewhat puzzled.

“Yes, thank you, thank you Lawrence Anno Falgao. The medicines you developed have helped me and many of my crew members get through the ordeal of illness.” Drake looked at Lawrence and said earnestly, “If it weren’t for the medicines you developed, I might have died at sea long ago. Of course, I have to thank you properly.”

"Hmm... um." Lawrence blinked, then suddenly smiled. "Why thank me? I didn't research the drug for you and your sailors."

“But…” Drake sat up, wanting to say something.

“However,” Lawrence interrupted Drake, “my opinion of you has changed slightly.”

"You are somewhat different from the pirates I understand."

Drake looked at Lawrence with some confusion: "So what kind of pirate do you think they are?"

"Let's not discuss this kind of thing." Lawrence lay down and waved his hand. "It's getting late. You're human, so you should get some rest. Otherwise, you might not be energetic when you wake up tomorrow morning."

......

"So, you are also Poseidon's son?" Doris looked at Orion, the little bear doll waving at her from Artemis's palm.

“Yes, Auntie!” Orion’s attitude became respectful after learning that Doris was the mother of his legendary elder brother. “Although I personally don’t really want to admit it, I am indeed my father’s son!”

“…That bastard is still doing these things even after being killed by Ocean once…” Veins bulged visibly on Doris’s forehead, and towering waves surged on the sea behind her. “If I could, I’d love to kill him too…”

"Um, calm down first..." Artemis, sweating profusely, tried to comfort Doris.

Although the decline of the Great Source and her long slumber had depleted a great deal of Doris's power, Doris was now, after all, a true goddess.

It's impossible for it to be weak.

Chapter 639 There is no longer anything to protect.

Doris's hair, which had been floating, fell back down, the waves gradually subsided, and the imposing aura emanating from her body also diminished.

Orion and Artemis both breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've been asleep for so long, is there anything you want to do now?" Artemis asked curiously, looking at the now calm Doris.

Doris lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: "Ah, there is something I forgot to do."

After saying that, she bent down, picked up a stone, and threw it into the sea.

Artemis, Orion: ...

"It's not about that..." Artemis chuckled and waved her hand. "I mean, now that you've finally woken up, isn't there anything else you want to do? Like go out for a walk or something?"

“Yes, it’s a real shame that they’ve slept for tens of thousands of years without ever seeing the outside world,” Orion said, waving his little stick.

Doris shook her head: "I don't have anything else I want to do. All I need to do is protect this..."

Suddenly, she turned around sharply.

His eyes dimmed.

"There's nothing left for me to protect..."

The ruins of the former dwellings of the residents of Doris Island are so dilapidated that they could collapse even with the slightest breeze, and it is almost impossible to see any trace of human habitation here.

Doris glanced back at Artemis and Orion, who stood quietly and abruptly beside her, and sighed deeply.

“I don’t want to leave this island, but… I still have a general understanding of the situation.” Doris returned to the beach and sat down. “This singularity that has dragged my island into this is filled with strange magic everywhere. I can feel that there are two magical forces clashing in this sea. One is the magic that originally existed in this sea, and the other is a clear intruder.”

"So together? I was just about to ask you how you managed to avoid the decline of the Great Source and remain in the outside world," Artemis asked, finally voicing her true question.

"Oh... I really don't know." Doris awkwardly tugged at her hair.

"However, I'll go with you for a while." Doris controlled two streams of water to carve a boulder on the shore into the shape of a small boat, and then controlled the ocean currents to forcibly lift the stone boat, making it float on the sea.

She walked barefoot onto the ship and waved to Artemis and Orion.

"Ah, here it comes!" Artemis was still quite excited even though she didn't get the answer she wanted.

......

Early the next morning.

As dawn broke, Fujimaru Ritsuka got out of bed.

"Ugh..." Fujimaru Ritsuka sat up, clutching her head. "My head feels so heavy..."

"Good morning, Master." A familiar and pleasant female voice rang in her ears, and Ritsuka felt a slightly cold hand press against her forehead.

"Ah... good morning, Miss Lawrence." Feeling the healing magic flowing from Lawrence's hands, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt her spirits ease slightly. "Looks like I must have been drunk yesterday..."

Lawrence couldn't help but chuckle: "Not only you, Mash got drunk too, and even Fou sneaked a couple of sips of alcohol. Look, over there."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked around and saw Fou curled up on Mashu's stomach, snoring.

After regaining her composure, Ritsuka stood up and stretched her limbs, a smile on her face: "So, shall we set sail today?"

“Drake got up early, he should be waiting for us at the beach by now.” Lawrence placed his hand on Mash’s forehead again.

Where is Mr. Hijikata?

"He got ahead of us before us, so he should be with that one-eyed first mate and his crew now."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shuddered, recalling Hijikata Toshizo's minor flaw: "I hope he doesn't cause any trouble..."

"I specifically instructed them, so it shouldn't happen."

Twenty minutes later, at the beach.

"You're such a jerk—" Hijikata Toshizo was looking at Drake with a serious expression when suddenly a gem hit him in the face from a distance, knocking him to the ground.

Drake was speechless when he suddenly saw the tall, eccentric man being knocked down. He looked in the direction from which the gem had flown and said, "Oh, you guys finally made it. This guy is so annoying. If you hadn't come, I would have tied him up and thrown him into the sea."

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble..." Fujimaru Ritsuka apologized very sincerely.

After a few minutes of commotion, Drake's large ship, the Golden Deer, weighed anchor and set sail. As for the direction it would take... who cares? This sea area is unknown anyway, so sailing in any direction is exploration.

......

"Oshenanos... Senior, please stop forcing Lord Jason to drink..." The purple-haired girl looked anxiously at Ocean, who was sitting cross-legged on the deck drinking heavily. "Even Heroic Spirits shouldn't drink too much of this..."

"Huh? Medea, what did you say?" Oceanus's face was flushed with drunkenness.

"Roar—roar—" Beside Oshin, there was another tall heroic spirit roaring, holding a large cup in his hand as well.

Jason was lying on the ground, drunk despite being a Heroic Spirit, and convulsing.

This is because the alcohol they drink is not something simple either.

The wine jug in Oceanus's hand was no ordinary wine jug either.

This is one of his Noble Phantasms, a Class D anti-personnel Noble Phantasm called "The Gift of Dionysus".

In other words, the wine that Ou Shen and his two companions drank was a treasure-level beverage!

"Medea, would you like to have some too? Hiccup, this is a wonderful wine!" Oshin raised his glass towards Medea.

"Huh? Me? No, I, I won't..." Medea was startled and quickly waved her hand.

"Awooo—" another tall heroic spirit roared twice.

"Oh! Hercules, you're out of wine? Come on, fill it up!!!"

"Roar—" Hercules excitedly reached for his wine glass.

He was summoned as a Berserker, and his abilities were severely weakened... but that doesn't affect his appreciation for alcohol.

Medea was shivering in a corner of the deck where she was.

"What... what on earth is going on...?"

She was summoned to this era by the demon god and chosen to protect Jason, following the king's command.

To destroy this world, the maintenance of singularities is essential. If the foundation of humanity does not collapse, then the fuel for the incineration of human reason will be insufficient.

When Jason used the Holy Grail to summon the legendary hero Oceanus, Medea had only one thought.

Stable.

But why does it seem so strange now...?

Chapter 640 Discovery of a New Island

On the sea.

"We've been sailing for over ten hours now, and apart from encountering a few reckless pirate ships along the way, we haven't seen a single island." Fujimaru Ritsuka sat on the edge of the deck, watching the white foam swirling up as the seawater crashed against the hull, and sighed.

"You're so impatient, little girl." Drake chuckled as he drank a low-alcohol beer from his Holy Grail. "For people like us who live on the high seas, this is the norm. It's not just that we can't see an island for ten hours; sometimes we only see land once every month or two."

"I see. Doctor, is your radar responding?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Roman.

"Not yet, but I'll let you know as soon as there's a response," Roman replied casually, his attention focused on the magic radar.

Hijikata Toshizo was idly resting his chin on his hand, Mashu was teasing Fufu, and Lawrence was back to his old ways, diagnosing the health conditions of Drake's crew.

After drifting on the sea for more than an hour, Roman's voice suddenly came over: "Gentlemen, I have spotted an island."

“Tell me where the goblin is hiding in the box,” Drake said, moving closer to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"What the hell is a goblin..." Roman was speechless, but he still reported the location of the island on the radar, "It's thirty degrees to your right, about five nautical miles away."

"Alright! Head to the new island! Let's see if we can reach it before dark," Drake commanded.

"Yes, boss!"

......

“Jason, what are your own thoughts now?” Ocean lay on the edge of the deck, looking at Jason who sat respectfully beside him. “Even if you call me senior, I am actually just your servant.”

"Huh?" Jason was taken aback.

“Look, not only me, but also Hercules and Hector, who was sent out, are your servants.” Ocean pointed with his finger. “Ever since you summoned me, you’ve been circling around me without giving me a single command.”

“Yes, Lord Jason!” Medea, who had been sitting on the other side of the deck looking aggrieved, instantly perked up and ran to Jason’s side. “Ever since you summoned such a powerful Heroic Spirit as Oceanus, you’ve been drinking happily. Have you already forgotten about the Covenant and the Kingdom?”

My God! You've finally remembered the important thing!
