Chapter 714 Horrifying News!
Chapter 714 Horrifying News!
Even in your future, you will investigate many things that ordinary people can hardly imagine in their lifetime, and come into contact with truly hidden knowledge.
Miss Hugh, your life has only just begun.
Chu Yang's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Speaking of which, Miss Hugh, do you really enjoy an adventurous life?"
"No, it's just that we've been living comfortably in Backlund for so long that this occasional trip is quite pleasant."
"In any case, I will eventually return to Backlund and investigate what happened back then."
Miss Hugh's eyes hardened again; she had to find out who had framed her father.
She even wants to bring the mastermind behind it all to justice, or take revenge in her own way.
"This is a shared goal of ours, and I've kept it in mind. Don't push yourself too hard."
"Your journey has only just begun. You will become even stronger and may even become the next sheriff."
"Always have confidence in the future."
Chu Yang smiled and comforted him.
Once Miss Hugh becomes powerful enough, the truth will naturally be revealed to her.
Even Chu Yang knew the cause and effect of that matter, but since it involved the power of the gods, he could not easily tell the story.
"Our next destination should be Rhine Harbor, but I'm very familiar with that place, so going there isn't much of an adventure."
Miss Hugh sighed softly, it was unclear what she was thinking about.
"That's not necessarily true."
Chu Yang took out the summons and waved it slightly to attract Miss Xiu's attention.
"What? The Going Merry? Are we going to board the Going Merry?"
Miss Hugh's eyes widened immediately.
Because the name was very familiar to him.
She had previously obtained two stories in the labyrinthine secret realm, in which the name "Merry" was mentioned.
The story unfolds after the protagonist boards the Going Merry.
"Is it just a coincidence?"
She muttered something unconsciously.
"There aren't that many coincidences in this world."
Chu Yang said meaningfully.
According to the story Miss Hugh had read, the protagonist of that story became the captain of the Going Merry at the end of the story.
The two are now aboard the Beautiful.
This inevitably leads one to wonder if the story began with the two people's initial circumstances and gradually unfolded from there.
"But how is that possible? Could the master or controller of this labyrinthine secret realm even predict the future?"
Miss Hugh couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"This world is far more fascinating than you think. Certain extraordinary individuals can use a single item to deduce a certain stage of the future."
"The stories we saw in the library were all deduced based on our own bodies."
"This is why the stories we each see are different."
"Just relax and enjoy our trip. We can see for ourselves what the protagonist in your story is all about."
Chu Yang gently tapped on the railing in front of him.
He had anticipated all of this.
After all, that emperor, who was bored out of his mind, might indeed do such a thing out of a perverse sense of humor.
Besides, the other party is not dead at all.
Perhaps the other party will even explain the pace of the subsequent story based on Chu Yang and the other person's performance.
"Anyway, there are already quite a few gods casting their gazes down, so one more won't make a difference."
Chu Yang couldn't help but mutter to himself.
From the moment the god of knowledge and wisdom cast his favored glance, Chu Yang knew that he had long since entered the divine realm's sight.
However, no matter what, his strength was too weak, and he had no room to resist, so he could only take it one step at a time.
"So, we'll soon get to know that noble lady, Caroline?"
Miss Hugh couldn't help but feel a little anxious as she turned around.
The story she wrote was cut short halfway through and never had a proper ending, a fact that remained on her mind.
"It is very possible that in the library at that time, each of us got what we wanted most."
"Now that I think about it carefully, when we first entered the library, that place must have stolen our thoughts in some way."
"Since you saw the first half of the life of that noblewoman named Caroline in the story."
"And the fact that he didn't appear in the second half of his life means that his later life is very likely to intersect with ours."
"The current USS Merry has already proven everything."
Chu Yang spoke solemnly.
"So what will happen after we meet?"
"What if something really outrageous happens?"
Miss Hugh continued to press for answers.
She always felt that all the doubts in her heart could be resolved by Chu Yang.
"What you want most is to resolve your father's issues, or to find other materials to support your views on public security."
"The follow-up will most likely be related to these things."
Chu Yang deliberately gave a couple of evasive answers.
He already knew the true identity of that Ms. Caroline.
That guy was a member of the military, so of course her position and status within the organization weren't high.
However, according to the original story, Miss Hugh and Ms. Caroline already knew each other.
The two chatted as they stepped onto the deck of the Merry.
The ship was enormous, but it relied primarily on steam for propulsion.
The huge sails on the deck were, in some ways, merely decorative.
The large cabin is large enough to accommodate more than 300 passengers in a short period of time.
Just as the two were about to enter the cabin, a voice full of surprise suddenly came from not far away.
"Chu Yang, what are you doing here?"
"So, you're also itching to go on an adventure?"
The woman who approached with a look of surprise was none other than Miss Triss from the police station.
Miss Triss ran away from home to go on an adventure, and did not hesitate to give up her identity as a police officer.
Chu Yang still finds this matter quite unbelievable.
Just as Chu Yang was looking at Miss Triss with a face full of surprise.
Her face gradually darkened.
"Are you trying to give me some kind of lecture about going home right now?"
"If that's the case, you'd better not say anything, lest it affect our relationship."
Miss Triss's face gradually darkened.
She still thought that Chu Yang, who wasn't very enthusiastic, really wanted to do this kind of thing.
However, Chu Yang was only observing Miss Triss's mental and physical condition.
Judging from the current situation, it is clear that Miss Triss has not been living a very good life since she went on her adventure.
She appeared somewhat listless, and her clothes were rather worn out.
This is a world apart from the glamorous Miss Triss who used to work in the Sheriff's Office.
"I have no intention of seeing you go back, but I did see Miss Heloise."
"He's doing much better than you."
Chu Yang couldn't help but chuckle.
He knew that the two knew each other.
Otherwise, Miss Triss wouldn't have been so easily influenced by Heloise to embark on a sea adventure.
"Sooner or later I will become a great adventurer of world civilization, and I will be the one who lives a better life."
Miss Triss said somewhat indignantly.
Chu Yang smiled but didn't reply, instead immediately changing the subject.
"After you came out, did you only act as an adventurer?"
Chu Yang asked with a smile.
"That's right, as you can see, I'm just an adventurer who almost couldn't even afford a ship ticket."
"To save on the cost of the summons, I had no choice but to accompany an employer onto this ship as a bodyguard."
Miss Triss said self-deprecatingly, gesturing with her eyes to a group of people not far away.
There were nearly a dozen people there; those were Miss Triss's employers this time.
The leader was a man who looked to be nearly middle-aged, dressed neatly, with bright eyes.
The most striking feature was the surface of his chest, where nearly half of his pocket watch was visible.
The watch even has a large red gemstone set in its surface.
A lady of similar age was standing next to the gentleman.
In front of them were three children.
In addition, there were some servants who appeared to be accompanying them as attendants.
These servants appeared to be silent, but judging from their clothing, they lived a fairly comfortable life.
"At least these servants are dressed much better than the commoners I saw in the eastern part of Backlund."
Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly.
Although Backlund is an important city in the Kingdom of Rune, the lives of the lower classes are far from good.
"This whole family, and you're their only bodyguard?"
Chu Yang was quite surprised.
These people are carrying quite a lot of things; how could Miss Tris possibly protect them all by herself?
"Their journey was very short, and the Going Merry had brought many adventurers, most of whom were quite famous."
"Unless a pirate is deliberately courting death, he would never target the Merry."
Miss Triss shrugged helplessly; it was clear she had also pondered this question.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang frowned slightly.
He had already observed the clothing of the many passengers on deck.
Many of the people above were dressed as adventurers, and their clothes looked very suitable for fighting.
These guys all had piercing eyes, and some even seemed to have transformed their eyes into those of an eagle when they died young.
"Aren't you curious about why everyone's gathered on this ship?"
Chu Yang turned his head and found that the speaker was a young man.
Before he could even ask a question, this guy, in a very annoying way, continued, "Even if you want to know, I won't tell you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang couldn't help but take a slight breath.
Seeing that Chu Yang remained unmoved, Miss Emerald said with a sigh, "Your temper seems to have improved a lot since we went to sea."
Chu Yang racked his brains trying to find clues that matched the young man in front of him.
Chu Yang quickly blurted out, "Lexent?"
"You actually know me? But thinking about it, it's not surprising, after all, I am the renowned God of Hunters on the high seas."
Lecente couldn't help but burst into laughter, a smug look appearing on his face.
"Since you're all here, it seems someone deliberately gathered you all together."
Chu Yang spoke calmly.
Upon seeing Lecente, he quickly recalled something from the original story.
Since Lecente would board the ship and have so many adventurers with him.
That means these guys are probably hired and are preparing to explore some kind of ruin.
There were indeed many adventurers who received supplies, but in the end, only Lecent survived.
That's why he was particularly impressed by Lecent.
"Looks like I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to know about this."
Lesentema said in surprise.
"Alright, Lecente, stop beating around the bush, what do you want from me?"
Chu Yang waved his hand slightly, unwilling to continue chatting with this guy.
"You're surprisingly frank. I do have something very private to tell you."
As he spoke, Lecente glanced at the two people to his left and right.
Miss Triss walked toward her employer without hesitation.
Of course, as she walked away, she kept an eye on Chu Yang out of the corner of her eye, ready to rush to his side in case of any unexpected events.
Miss Xiu's gaze fell on Chu Yang, and after receiving permission, she quickly left the area.
Chu Yang then turned his gaze to Lecent in front of him.
"Let's go somewhere else."
After saying that, Lecente took the lead and walked ahead.
After a brief hesitation, Chu Yang followed.
Although the Lecente before them had already reached Sequence 5 in terms of strength.
This guy also possesses some very peculiar and extraordinary items.
However, he also possessed quite a few extraordinary items, so even if he couldn't defeat this guy, he could still escape in time.
Of course, his greatest source of confidence comes from the long sword on his back.
Soon the two arrived at the cabin that Lecente had already purchased.
Chu Yang immediately began to pinpoint the escape routes for both of them.
"Don't be so nervous. I'm here to deliver a message to you, and of course, I've also brought you something."
Lecente noticed Chu Yang's actions and immediately explained with a smile.
Chu Yang merely glanced over there, but didn't...
"It's just a letter, don't worry, I haven't opened it."
"However, as far as I know, these kinds of letters are usually used as invitations."
Lescent took a sealed envelope from a bag hanging nearby.
Chu Yang saw a mark on the envelope and opened it on the spot without hesitation.
Upon seeing the content, he immediately understood.
"No wonder Lecente is so kind to me."
"It turns out that the person who delivered the letter was a believer in the god of knowledge and wisdom."
"However, this old man should be stationed elsewhere, and he should have a good relationship with Lecente."
Chu Yang immediately frowned and began to think.
The old man in the letter invited him to his encampment.
As for what they were going to do, no details were given. (End of Chapter)
