"Don't be nervous. There's only one wave of sea monsters here. Once we've dealt with these guys, we can continue our journey... Of course, that big ship did indeed move closer after seeing the lighthouse's light."
Suri's words, coming through Skadi's and the others' earpieces, invigorated everyone.
Skadi's footsteps came from the tower, and she rushed to the first floor, taking her place and cleaving Hai Si, who had already rushed in front of her, in two with a single sword strike.
With Suri's help, Skadi and the others worked together to quickly eliminate the last remaining Sea Child who was still charging forward.
"...So, are you going to rest here and wait for that big ship to come by itself, or are you going to sail directly from here to that ship?"
After the battle ended, while Greta and the others were resting, Suri's voice rang out again.
After thinking for a moment, Greta asked, "What's going on on that ship?"
"There are still living people up there... Iberians who were transformed into sea creatures but still retain human consciousness and consider themselves human. They probably don't have a good impression of you. If you go up there, you'll most likely end up fighting because of your different goals."
As Suri spoke, she directly displayed her scan results in Skadi's field of vision, saying in a manner that only Skadi could hear:
"Speaking of which, there's no need for the knights on that ship to fight you. After all, there are too many sea monsters on the ship. You might as well deal with the sea monsters together first, and then consider other issues."
Suri's words startled Skadi, but the others remained unresponsive, which puzzled Skadi: 'Why not tell the others about this?'
"Because those are all hypotheticals. In reality, you'll probably only have a chance to meet, introduce yourselves, and then you'll see a common enemy."
As Suri spoke, he showed the figure he had previously concealed on the scan map: "Actually, Ulbian also secretly followed us up with the leader of that Deep Sea Cult. The Deep Sea Cultist will jump out on his own in a while, but Ulbian seems to have other plans. He doesn't seem to intend to appear here."
"Hmm." Skadi glanced at the mark Suri had made on her scanning field of vision, then at Suri's slogan: [Don't nod, the others will see it. There's no need to spoil the surprise for them.]
Therefore, Skadi did not nod, and naturally, her companions did not notice anything unusual.
Suri's voice rang out again: "Get ready. Gladys will probably choose to take the initiative, and the others probably won't have any objections. You need to prepare to board the ship."
'Since you know you're about to board a ship, why didn't you just tell me the arrangements?'
"It's different. This is called giving her the power to choose. At least it looks like she has the power to choose. This feeling is different, and it will affect a person's mood and decision-making."
Skadi seemed to understand, but Greta and the others unanimously decided to take the initiative. After all, they had gone to so much trouble to find the Eye of Iberia, and they were not willing to stay here and wait at this time.
Skadi and her companions boarded the ship again, and then Suri started the ship:
"We're about to set off. Children, are you ready?"
Everyone's expressions were somewhat complicated. Skadi, worried that Suri might feel awkward, said, "Ready~"
"That's good. We're not far from our destination. It's a pity there aren't any display screens here, otherwise I would have told you we're not far from that Fool's Ship."
“My phone is right here, and the name of that ship…” Kal’tsit took out her phone from her pocket, hoping that Suri could project the information onto it.
“I know, I even looked it up, but the ship’s name is too long and hard to pronounce, so I don’t want to say it.”
Suri interrupted Kal'tsit and then displayed the distance between the two ships on Kal'tsit's phone screen:
"Be prepared! If that ship doesn't notice us and doesn't slow down, our ship might just capsize!"
"With your skills, this kind of thing simply won't happen."
Kal'tsit wasn't worried at all. After glancing at her phone, she placed it on the table in the cockpit so that others could also see its contents.
"That's hard to say, what if we run into each other?"
Suri was a little disappointed that she hadn't scared them, but she didn't dwell on it too much. As Suri steered, they soon saw the large ship emerging from the fog, shimmering with golden light.
Suri had already modified the small boat's direction of travel in advance, allowing it to travel in the same direction as the large ship and remain relatively stationary after getting close enough.
Skadi became wary as soon as she boarded the Fool and looked at the magnificent interior of the ship, worried about the Sea Legion enemies that Suri had mentioned.
But Skadi's fears did not come true:
"I already said, the battle won't trigger until you meet those Iberians who have become Sea Heirs. Don't try to use any shortcuts or tricks. And even if you manage to protect those Iberians who have become Sea Heirs, do you really think they'll survive if you go back to Iberia?"
"I didn't think that much about it," Skadi said, but a hint of doubt crept in her voice. "Is there another way? Suri, what are you planning?"
"Another way is that I can help you capture that mutating Hai Si right now. The difference is that the Inquisition might misjudge Agor's combat strength because of this, which could lead to some problems in your cooperation. This chaos... although it sounds a bit cold, is indispensable."
Skadi nodded as if she understood, but didn't ask any further questions. Guided by Suri, she led her teammates into the interior of the Fool's Ship.
Laurentina stopped in the hall, looking at the magnificent golden space, and smiled at Skadi and the others who were about to walk up the stairs:
"I'll stay here and stand guard to prevent anyone from trying to get in or escape, right? Suri can communicate with me through the earpiece, can't she?"
"...Are you sure, Laurentina?" Greta glanced at Laurentina, a hint of worry flashing in her cold eyes, but she didn't show it.
"Of course, don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, I have Su Rui with me, don't I?"
Laurentina smiled.
Volume 6, Chapter 370: Hai Si, Who Went to the Wrong Door
With only Skadi able to hear, Suri couldn't help but explain:
"Actually, Laurentina was somewhat curious and unfamiliar with her current appearance. She wanted to find a mirror to see herself, admire herself properly, and then shred all those sea monsters that disturbed her self-admiration."
'I see. It seems Laurentina is feeling a little better.' Skadi thought to herself, but said nothing on the surface, simply following the others and leaving Laurentina to stand guard.
After watching Skadi and the others leave, Laurentina went to a mirror. Although it was a little broken, it still reflected her figure.
"Suri, do you think I look good like this?"
Laurentina looked at herself in the mirror, swayed slightly, and then suddenly spoke softly with a smile: "I know you can hear me, don't play dumb."
"It looks great, of course it looks great."
Suri's voice came through the earpiece: "No matter what kind of person you are or what you're thinking, as long as you stand on the side of humanity, you are my friend and I will help you solve your problems. So instead of keeping your problems to yourself, why not speak them out?"
"It's a bit of a shame... I don't know what my problem is."
Laurentina spoke, her eyes dimming slightly, but Suri's voice rang out again:
"Alright, since you don't understand either, let's do something else to distract ourselves. Hai Si is coming, go and take them all out. Feeling the thrill of tearing all the enemies apart will make you feel better, right?"
Laurentina nodded: "I haven't heard you call my name."
"I prefer the name Specter, or would you like me to call you Laurentina?"
"It's nothing, the Specter is fine."
Laurentina smiled, gripped the chainsaw tightly, and then turned and slammed the approaching Hai Si heavily to the ground. The spinning circular saw tore Hai Si's body apart, and after struggling for a moment, he lost his strength.
"Can you feel it? The feeling of blood flowing from a broken container? Like spilling a bottle of red wine. Feel happy about it, Ghost Shark~ It's time to go on a killing spree."
Suri's voice disappeared from the earphones, replaced by music. Laurentina looked at the Sea Si who had arrived in front of her and were trying to pass through, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips:
"It's time to hunt."
While Laurentina stopped the Sealings who were trying to attack the ship's interior, Skadi and Gretia also made their way to the upper deck of the Fool, the location marked by Suri where the Iberians who had turned into Sealings were.
Alini looked at Suri with some hesitation:
"Is there really no way to turn those Iberians who turned into sea monsters back to normal? They are all heroes of Iberia."
"They are heroes, of course, but in these rudimentary conditions, even I cannot turn them back. To bring Iberia to that level of technology now... these people will probably have to wait until they die."
Suri explained, while whispering in Skadi's mind, "Besides, a dead hero makes the story more legendary, doesn't he?"
'That's a bit too cruel,' Skadi said, looking at the heroes from Iberia who had appeared before them.
Although on the surface Gretia was still negotiating and Suri hadn't said anything, Skadi was already on guard against the possible appearance of the Sea Kings around them.
Then she heard the Iberian on the other side speak:
“I will not allow you to use Iberia’s precious resources at will. You can go back now. We still have…”
“However, this is the Court of Justice’s decision to cooperate with Agor, and I think…” Elena tried to persuade the stubborn captain before her, even after becoming a Sea Heir, but he interrupted her:
“Shut up, little girl. I hadn’t even heard of the Iberian Tribunal when I set out. I will not accept your orders or arrangements. I will save Iberia in my own way.”
“This is pure wishful thinking.” Suri’s voice rang out in Skadi’s mind, making her glance around with some concern. After all, Suri lived inside her mind, and Skadi couldn’t tell whether Suri was speaking in her mind or using a speaker.
Skadi breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that no one around her was reacting particularly strongly.
"Alright, don't be nervous, the fight is about to start. That evolving Sea Child is about to break in."
Su Rui reopened the scanning field of vision, and right outside the door, a creature named Hai Si was crawling on all fours and slowly passing by.
The sound became increasingly clear as it moved closer to the hall where Greta and the others were.
Goredia quickly realized something was wrong. She turned to look at Skadi and saw that Skadi was holding a greatsword and looking wary. She immediately understood what was going on.
Skadi's team immediately assumed a defensive, armed stance, which startled the opposing captain: "What do you want? Even if you threaten me with force, I will not yield. As the captain of the Iberian fleet, I have some strength!"
However, no sooner had the captain finished speaking than his enhanced hearing, now that he had become a Sea Child, allowed him to discover something amiss.
To get their attention, Su Rui opened the door that Hai Si happened to be passing by.
And so, as Hai Si, still in the process of evolution, turned his head to observe in confusion, everyone's eyes were drawn to him.
The captain was puzzled as to why the door, which required a switch to open, would suddenly open, since Hai Si in front of him did not seem to be making any move to open the door.
However, after a moment of stunned silence, both sides reacted, and the small fry protecting Hai Si in the Evolutionary Realm began to charge into the hall.
"Isn't it just right? I told you about this."
Suri's cheerful voice echoed in Skadi's mind: "Charge! We'll head straight for that evolving Sea Sprite. We'll leave the rest of the small fry to others!"
"Hmm." Skadi nodded, gripping her greatsword and charging forward. The situation changed in an instant, but Skadi was still pondering: would the argument end after the fight?
Volume 6, Chapter 371: The Released Amaya
Of course, conflicts don't just disappear when they end, but if conflicts continue, won't people have no energy to pay attention to the current conflicts?
Or, if one of the parties simply disappears in the conflict, will the conflict naturally disappear soon after?
Suri's idea was simple: he just needed to watch things continue to develop.
Skadi has a lot of sea creatures here, so it will take some time to process them.
Suri noticed that a Liberi that had sneaked in was about to encounter Laurentina on the lower level.
Suri's voice came through Laurentina's earpiece: "Have you rested enough? Someone's coming~"
Laurentina, who had just finished dealing with the nearby sea monster and had only rested for a short while, opened her scarlet eyes. Her eyes still held a hint of joy at Suri's initiative in contacting her.
"We have guests? Then I must give them a proper welcome."
As Laurentina noticed the direction marked by Suri in her eyepiece, a refined Liberian woman was standing there, quietly trying to walk over.
After their eyes met, Laurentina's smile widened: "Hello, Miss Amaya? It's a pleasure to meet you."
Laurentina's smile certainly looked friendly if she weren't holding a chainsaw.
Amaya thought so too. Although she didn't turn around and run away out of politeness, she stopped and didn't approach Laurentina. She just watched her silently, waiting for Laurentina's next move.
Suri's voice rang in Laurentina's ear:
"She is the leader of the Deep Sea Cultists in Granfalo, and she has a rather... extreme plan. If you let her go, she will come back. I mean, she will come back as a rather beautiful sea creature and try to destroy you."
As she spoke, Suri showed Laurentina's vision of Amaya after she transformed into Haizi:
"This is a preliminary image. Because she had already designed her direction before her transformation, most of the characteristics can be predicted. The timing and circumstances may differ from the image, so it is for reference only."
Laurentina nodded, a smile creeping onto her face.
Amaya, noticing that Laurentina hadn't attacked immediately, relaxed slightly, greeting Laurentina as she backed away towards the deck.
"I've already met one of your companions, the Deep Sea Hunter. He wasn't with you. Is there some conflict between you?"
Laurentina was stunned for a moment. In her memory, she, Greta, and Skadi always acted together, and there was no way that any of them could have encountered this Amaya.
Suri then explained in her ear:
"The deep-sea hunter that Amaya mentioned is Ulbian, the captain of the third deep-sea hunter team. However, he seems to have his own plans now and is only assisting you in secret."
"I see," Laurentina nodded, then looked at Amaya: "You want to sow discord between us? Too bad, I know more than you do."
"Is that so? Deep-sea hunters are connected by blood? But you all seem to have your own ideas."
Amaya spoke as she backed away, while Laurentina simply smiled at her, her scarlet eyes holding an unfathomable smile that left everyone wondering what she was thinking and feeling a chill down their spines.
Of course, it was Amaya, not Suri, who was truly terrifying.
"It's time to make a decision. If we delay any longer, Amaya will run away and jump into the sea. Do you want to take care of her now, or wait until she completes her transformation?"
Laurentina smiled enigmatically: "If I make a bad decision, will you blame me?"
Amaya paused for a moment, thinking Laurentina was talking to her, and looked at Laurentina with some confusion:
