Chapter 1038 - 321: Arm

Su Changxing and the others arrived at the coast, the sky was clear, and a warm and humid sea breeze was blowing.

There was some distance from the port, and nobody was walking around nearby; it was considered the city’s outskirts, a cliff by the sea that was unable to accommodate ships.

Due to the Count’s death, no personnel or ships were allowed to come in or out, awaiting orders from the King to decide how to handle the situation.

The death of a Great Noble was an enormous matter, at least they needed to find the killer to provide an explanation.

Sean leaned forward to look down the cliff, and asked: "Are we going down from here? There’s not much of a crowd here, it’s indeed a better spot."

As he spoke, Jin was about to jump down but was pulled back by Su Changxing, "Wait, the ship hasn’t arrived yet."

Jin asked curiously, "I thought we’d be rowing there. Where’s the ship from?"

Su Changxing pointed ahead: "It’s already here."

The wind and waves suddenly picked up, the sky grew dark, white mist emerged on the surface of the sea, followed by the shadow of a wooden warship.

Jin also saw the decayed warship emerge from the void, with ghostly green flames burning vigorously on it: "What is this?"

Su Changxing gestured: "It’s the Horror Ghost Ship, which I mentioned to you earlier."

"Doesn’t look very terrifying to me."

"......"

Captain Weilian stood at the bow of the ship, emerging in reality’s dimension, shouted towards Su Changxing: "Sire, after knowing you were coming, I rushed over at once."

Weilian’s Status was entirely different from before, seen from afar as he burned with ghostly green flames with the entire ship, just a skeleton, wearing the captain’s hat, while also visible was the silhouette of his human form.

Under the influence of the Horror Ghost Ship, he was no longer an independent person, but a part of the Horror Ghost Ship, the ship’s captain.

The crew aboard were the same, becoming a part of the Horror Ghost Ship. They wouldn’t age, fall ill, or die naturally with time, nor could they easily leave this ship, akin to being cursed.

All this was a matter of choice, perhaps destiny’s choice, or maybe it was their own choice, bound with the ship in the darkness.

The Horror Ghost Ship, though seemingly straightforward, was actually a Divine Artifact, an existence equal to the Pocket Galaxy, perhaps something left behind by a powerful entity.

It was unclear why the discount store had so many Divine Artifacts, as many items seemed to have notable origins.

Currently, the store was selling a bloodstained arm, even through the illustration he could feel the terror akin to catastrophe.

[Ancient God’s Arm: One trillion Points, the arm left by an Ancient God after falling, even after countless years, it still carries unimaginable power.

Warning!

If this item appears in reality’s dimension, it will cause some already deceased entities to resurrect from past times.]

Su Changxing seriously suspected that this item was sealed within the discount store, not knowing what accident had occurred that allowed him to redeem it with Points.

Of course, he wouldn’t consider redeeming it, clearly a trap, an Ancient God likely similar to a Divine Spirit, a spirit of antiquity.

Too much time had passed, the world’s rules constantly changing, the ancient Divine Spirits and today’s Divine Spirits were likely drastically different.

Besides, even if this item was redeemed, he’d have no use for it, couldn’t possibly consume it, much like Count Mel who ate the Demon Flesh; instead of gaining Power, he’d be Assimilated.

On the ship, Weilian seemed extremely excited: "Sire, finally waited for your return, after you left, this ship was dead, lifeless."

Jin gazed towards the various ghosts on the deck, falling into thought.

Su Changxing could also feel the ship’s entire change, becoming extremely active upon his boarding, whether it was the tattered sails or decayed deck, all were welcoming him.

"What’s the situation in the Empire now, has Kasmin reclaimed Wodan?" Su Changxing inquired.

Weilian nodded, the Spiritual Fire on him gradually fading, revealing his original human visage: "Yes, with your arrangements, she successfully ascended the throne, becoming the Empire’s new Empress."

"My arrangements?" Su Changxing couldn’t help but frown, although he provided some assistance, Kasmin reclaiming the throne also depended on herself.

Weilian nodded and said: "At first, we went to Wodan expecting fierce battle, but unexpectedly Duke of Jindola surrendered before the Imperial Tower, and was beheaded the following midday."

"People often speculate the worst in others, yet Duke of Jindola was undeniably loyal to the Imperial Family; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to his death so willingly."

The situation turned out differently from what Su Changxing expected, seemingly Duke of Jindola conspired with the former Empress.

No wonder that day, the Imperial Tower was so easily taken by Duke of Jindola, but what was the point of such action?

Instead, it was the former Empress who was full of suspicious points, even now a corpse was kept within the Pocket Galaxy, one buried within the Imperial Tower, and yet another lay in the Ice Kingdom’s remains.

This was no coincidence, surely the Empress and "Liu Luola" were plotting something.

Xiaobai, the Ghost Dog on the ship, was still very lively, approaching Su Changxing fondly as soon as it spotted him.
