Opening the terrain search, the person outside the door is Camisia.

After putting on her clothes casually, Ella walked to the door in her slippers and turned the handle.

"Ah~ah, Camisia, are you up so early?"

I was so sleepy that I couldn't help but yawn while talking.

Camisia seemed surprised by Ella's sudden opening of the door, and was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"As expected, Princess-sama. Even at a low level, you were able to detect my presence. Only a handful of people on the continent can detect me with detection magic."

"Well, come in first. What's the matter with you, Camisia?"

Ella slightly turned sideways to make way. The room was often taken care of by Lotte and the young maids, so there was nothing messy, and it would be no problem even if Camisia saw it.

Camisia entered the room.

"Well, excuse me for disturbing you, Princess. The cruise ship is almost reaching the Helkar checkpoint on Dragon Island, but it's currently at war with sea monsters, so we can't enter. I'd like to negotiate with the Dragon Island authorities first, and then clear them out by force."

"If it's something Camisia thinks is okay, you don't need my permission, right?"

"I understand your intention, Princess. However, this is a matter of face for both parties, so I must inform you in advance. If I were to act without your knowledge and be known to other nations, it would be a loss of dignity."

"Alright, alright, I get it, Camisia, just go for it."

Ella waved her hand, walked to the sink, and began to prepare before getting up.

"Yes, my lady."

They said to let go and do it, but with Camisia's character, she would never do anything extraordinary. Besides, there would be no situation that required Camisia to take action. The Dragon Island side should use the magic cannon installed on the sluice wall to expel the sea beasts for the sake of face. That kind of huge magic weapon for defending the city, as long as it is filled with magic power, even a dragon will suffer a certain degree of damage.

However, it would be very troublesome if the sea beasts attacked from the other three directions of the island instead of the sluice gate. Generally, sea beasts are restricted to moving only in the sea water and cannot pose a threat to the land, but those with powerful innate magic would bring huge trouble to the island.

For example, the "Midnight Python" that only appears in mythology has the overall shape of a long snake, but both its thickness and length are much larger than ordinary snakes. An adult Midnight Python is at least thirty meters long. The innate magic "Slow" and "Torrential" fired from its mouth are both second-level magic that can hit targets from a long distance. If they hit a house, it can be destroyed in just an instant.

Therefore, in addition to deploying magic cannons on the southern sluice wall, Dragon Island will also set up barriers in the other three directions, deploy troops, and evacuate ordinary residents to the center or the southern part. Having said that, it is actually rare to encounter large-scale attacks on islands by sea beasts. Generally, they only attack ships sailing on the sea. The reason for such a large-scale riot this year is because of the unauthorized use of the "False Seal of Original Sin" by Fios, which spread the erosion of the Seal of Original Sin and the effect of "mild miasma poisoning".

Shortly after Camisia left the room, the others woke up from their sleep and, like the previous few days, ate breakfast with the sound of magic exploding on the ship's defensive barrier in the background.

"Wow, Ella-chan, look, what is that?"

"It's the magic cannon from Dragon Island's defensive weapons, but it's surprisingly powerful, isn't it? It's close to the fourth-tier attack magic 'Dimensional Slash', right? It could wipe out all those sea beasts with one strike."

Angeline was pointing at a huge beam of light at the distant main island's sluice gate. The attack emitted such intense light and heat that it evaporated the seawater and destroyed all the sea beasts it touched. From the terrain search, it seemed that at least half of the sea beasts that were blocking the sluice gate and constantly ramming it with their bodies had disappeared.

"Ms. Ella, the flags over there seem to be telling us to hurry over now."

Lotte pointed to the soldiers on the city wall waving brightly colored flags and said, "It seems that the coordination has been completed on Camisia's side, but the other person who appeared in her field of vision caught Ella's attention slightly."

She was a woman wearing a gold and white outfit with a cross emblem on her chest. She had her own set of this kind of uniform, which was a priest's uniform symbolizing the "Ernstanit" Church.

Before, after he discovered the Black Death in the Holy Academy and saved the little maid, the bishop of the Enstanit Church, Lucia Enstanit, had invited him to join the church. In the end, because he did not want to be attributed with the title of the sage who cured the Black Death, he could only join the Enstanit Church as an apprentice priest.

Lucia's enthusiastic invitation was completely terrifying to him.

In order to confirm her identity, Ella quickly opened the terrain search.

“Uhhh…”

Ella groaned as if she had a headache and kept scratching her head in annoyance.

"Did you find anything, Senior?"

"Fukan, do you remember the priest who came to see us at the Holy Academy? The healer standing on the wall was the High Priest Lucia. Hmm—now he should be called a bishop. That was Bishop Lucia."

The first to react was An Jieni.

"Eh? Is that the busty priestess with those big breasts? I remember she was from the Kamito clan with only a few strands of silver hair. Why are you here?"

"Who knows, if it was Lucia-senpai, maybe she asked to come here on her own initiative."

Thinking of Lucia's positive attitude towards everything, Fukagami shrugged, his tone sounding as if nothing was wrong.

"After all, it's Miss Lucia..."

Lotte responded with a wry smile, then looked up at Ella as if she had thought of something.

"Miss Ella, we're about to enter the main island. What should we do with the scales on Miss Tina's head?"

When on Kumi Island, there was an incident where local villagers panicked because they saw the blue scales on Tina's head, which symbolized the underwater people. If they entered Dragon Island without taking any measures, it would probably cause a riot among the dragons. Although it would be a good thing for Fuos, Ella did not want to hand Tina over to Fuos now, at least not until Tina herself expressed her willingness.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"Hmm... Iris doesn't know any magic related to illusions, so I guess we can only find something to block it. Does Lotte have any ideas?"

"A-Aila-sama, I'm fine. As long as it's like this, everything will be fine!"

As if she already knew that her presence would cause trouble for Ella, Tina took out a small piece of gauze and bandage that she got from somewhere, pulled the blue front hair apart, and stuck it on the scales. To be on the safe side, Tina deliberately rubbed the gauze with her hands - there was no sign of it falling off, and it didn't look suspicious. It felt that even if someone asked, she could just answer that it was accidentally broken and she could get away with it.

The gauze on her forehead made Tina's already delicate appearance even more likely to evoke the sympathy hidden deep in people's hearts.

Being cute and easily bullied, when these two attributes are combined, probably few people can resist.

[I know this is necessary, but looking at Tina like this really does make me feel like I'm bullying her...]

Suppressing other thoughts in her mind, Ella focused her attention on the open sluice gates on the main island.

"Ahem, as long as Tina thinks it's okay, let's go to the main island first."

Chapter 74: Bishop Lucia

*创世纪6187年1月7日 上午6:21分 龙岛本岛『赫尔卡尔』

The sun slowly rose from one end of the horizon, and the white light it brought gradually illuminated the night. The unique vitality of dawn made everyone who saw it feel a little relieved.

This is the harbor sluice of Helkar on the main island. Beside the sluice, there is a giant wall that is dozens of meters high and covers the entire southern part of the island. It is said that these walls can even withstand an attack from fifth-level magic, but no one has tried to know whether it is true. However, as long as you stand on this wall equipped with large magic cannons and city defense crossbows, you will subconsciously feel at ease. This is the common conclusion of everyone.

At this moment, Lucia Enstanit, a priest of the Enstanit Church and a bishop, was standing on the city wall, looking at the sea monsters that were constantly rushing towards the sluice gate in the distance.

Lucia is a healer with long red hair. Because she belongs to the God-man Clan, her red hair has a few natural strands of silver in it. Generally speaking, the more silver a God-man's hair contains, the stronger their talent is. It is difficult for a God-man like Lucia who only has a few strands of silver hair to achieve anything in magic. The reason why Lucia can now become a bishop, in addition to her hard work, is that she has focused all her energy on practicing healing magic.

If Ella only helped the injured because she didn't want to feel guilty, then Lucia would heal anyone unconditionally without any reason.

However, this does not mean that she is simply dull. On the contrary, she has considerable experience in the research of healing magic.

——Born to heal others, this is probably the best way to describe Lucia.

Picking up the golden staff that was as tall as a person, Lucia, who was standing on the city wall, took a small step forward. However, just as she took her left foot, she was immediately stopped by someone.

"Bishop Lucia, please return to the island. I can't bear the consequences if you get into danger!"

The speaker was a short man in black armor, his exposed face etched with helplessness and anxiety.

However, this cannot be blamed on the man's lack of calmness. If this man was very strong, he would not have to show such an expression now. Unfortunately, he was only level ten, but he served as Lucia's guard on Dragon Island. In other words, if Lucia, who had the status of bishop, encountered danger at this critical juncture when sea beasts were active, the first one to be judged would be him, who had just been promoted to team leader not long ago.

The mission he had originally heard was simply to protect Lucia while she was investigating the "Curse of the Sea" on Dragon Island. The fact that Lucia appeared on the city wall was simply out of kindness, as she had left her work without permission to come to the front line to treat injured soldiers.

Although her actions were hindered, Lucia did not get angry. Instead, she responded with a pure smile.

"Captain Manchester, I just want to see the soldiers fighting up close."

"I've heard you say this three times, Lady Lucia. Each time, you left the safe zone and headed to the front lines to cast healing magic. If His Majesty the Dragon King Phoebus hadn't happened to pass by last time, we would have been carried away by the giant snake's 'Turning' spell."

Lucia stared at Manchester's determined face. The two stared at each other for several seconds before Lucia gave in.

Realizing that her plan was no longer working, Lucia looked away embarrassedly.

"Ahem... This is my first time on Dragon Island. Is this always the case during the sea beast activity period on Dragon Island? The giant snake that attacked us yesterday was probably a level 20 Midgard Serpent, right?"

Manchester breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that Lucia had given up the idea of ​​going to the front. While being on guard against possible stray bullets, he raised his round shield again and explained slowly.

"That's not the case, Lady Lucia. This year is special. The overall quality of the sea beasts has improved a lot. Looking at this situation..."

——Probably many small islands will fall.

Manchester stuffed the words back into his throat and immediately changed the subject.

"Lucia-sama, please return to the main island and investigate the cause of the 'Sea Curse'."

Considering that forcing Manchester to go to the front would put her in an awkward position, Lucia had to give up the idea.

"...Hmm, well, I've already tried it before and the curse can't be removed with holy magic. If it's not because my level is too low, then there's something wrong with the method I'm using."

"If even Lucia-sama, at level 20, can't remove the curse, then no one else can."

"Manchester-sama, you can't be so absolute, okay? If it were that sama, he would definitely be able to solve it. That kind of treatment method, which doesn't use magic and has never been seen before..."

Lucia said softly, her eyes full of reverence.

A big part of the reason why he won the competition and became the bishop of the branch temple was because he discovered a method to cure the Black Death even without magic, which was what that adult said, to get rid of rats, clean the room regularly, and pay attention to hygiene. After using this method, the poisoning state called the Black Death really disappeared. Therefore, he was secretly called "the future of the church" by other people in the church. Although he really wanted to tell that this was actually the work of that adult, after telling that adult, the answer he got was not to tell anyone.

"I really can't reach the level of Miss Elelaya... She looks young, but she knows so much, and she doesn't seek fame... If I also—well, no, I joined the church so that I could heal everyone more conveniently. If I don't have status, I can't do research."

Shaking her head, Lucia retracted her outstretched foot and prepared to turn around and walk back into the city.

“Chi—”

Just like red-hot charcoal suddenly dropped into water, a strong mist appeared behind him with a hissing sound.

Lucia turned around immediately.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"I used the magic cannon number one, Lucia-sama."

As far as the eye could see, countless sea beasts that tried to break through the sluice gates were swept away by magic cannons, just like someone erased them with an eraser. As long as the sea beasts were swept by the magic cannons, they disappeared from the world without even leaving their corpses. At the same time, due to the sharp rise in sea water temperature, countless cooked sea fish began to float on the sea.

Lucia breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the soldiers' injuries she had imagined did not happen. However, when she was about to step down the stone steps from the city wall, a very familiar flag appeared in her sight. It was also the flag she wanted to see the most.

"Lucia-sama, what's wrong with you?"

Because Lucia stopped without any warning, Manchester subconsciously thought that she was feeling sorry for the dead sea beast.

"Hmm? Ah, that's the Demon King's flag, right?"

"—Huh? It's the Demon King's flag, but why would the Demon King come to Dragon Island at this time? And it doesn't look like he has any escort ships..."

"Let's not worry about that for now. If it were Miss Elelaya, she would definitely find a way to resolve the 'Curse of the Sea'. Let's go there now."

"Wait, wait, Miss Lucia, if the other party is the Demon King, going there without prior notice will be treated as an assassin and arrested!"

Manchester had clearly explained it, but Lucia acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She lifted the hems of her priest's uniform with both hands and ran down the stairs with the golden staff in hand.

Chapter 75: The Reunion of the Two Kings

*创世纪6187年1月7日 上午8:01分 龙岛本岛『赫尔卡尔』

Because she was flying the Demon King's flag, Ella entered the Dragon Island Bay with almost no obstacles. Like last time, a large number of ships were anchored in the bay protected by giant sluice walls. However, due to the active period of sea beasts, these ships all stayed on the shore, with only a few military warships waiting behind the sluice.

"Are these warships stationed here to defend the bay after the locks are damaged?"

Looking up at the warships with black muzzles on both sides, Ella couldn't help but ask. Although these warships had a large displacement and were equipped with powerful magic cannons, Ella didn't think that relying solely on these few ships could resist the monsters that even the giant sluices could not stop.

Iris, who was also standing on the deck, waved in a tone that looked at him as if he was an idiot.

"That's to show off your authority, your authority. If the opponent is a demon king, wouldn't it be rude not to make any arrangements?"

“King…ah…”

Although he was called the king, he had no sense of reality until now. Although Camisia said that it was incredible that he had won over Marudo and opened up a trade route between the Demons and the strongest human race, the Bruzea Empire, in his opinion, it was completely accidental and there was no ulterior motive. If he hadn't been so lucky and met Marudo three times in a row, this would never have happened.

And until now, I have been wanting to change the caravan's flag emblem to a normal format. After all, no matter what, using ">_<" as the caravan logo is too... embarrassing.

Soon the merchant ship arrived at the shore surrounded by warships - the Deep Sea Lord had been instructed by Ella to wait in the north of the island, so there was no problem.

Standing on the shore was the Dragon King Phoos with a large number of personal guards. Behind him were many nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes. There were no civilians around, apparently because they had been isolated in advance.

"You're being greeted personally by His Majesty the Dragon King? That's quite rare. Normally, a prominent noble would receive you first, then bring you to the royal city."

"Hmph, that's just uncle trying to win over the seniors at this time. He's also aware of the dangers of this sea beast active period."

Shen Gan curled his lips, with a hint of disgust in his tone.

However, Ella had no intention of persuading him. She had previously come into contact with Fuos as "Entalosphiel". Although Fuos's desire to sacrifice Shen Gan in exchange for the ownership of the Deep Sea Lord was understandable in terms of justice, it aroused her disgust.

No matter who you are, you will feel disgusted when you meet this kind of elder. Shen Gan's behavior is actually the reaction a normal person should have.
