"Wandering Poet"

The Women in the black Nun's Habit seemed to sense Lumian's gaze, and slightly turned her head to look at him.

The moment Lumian made contact with those indescribably colorful eyes, the figure in his sight vanished abruptly.

Almost simultaneously, he had the thought that this was not important and did not require further processing.

Standing beside Simon, the incoming "Governor of the Sea," Juan Oro noticed that the calm, waveless blue sea had begun to ripple noticeably, and the Stars, barely visible to the naked eye, seemed to have Change in some way in the hazy sky, causing him to experience a shift in emotions and a strange sense of unease.

Mutation has happened? Juan Oro wasn't sure if the situation was good or bad, but in the current circumstances, he would treat any change as an accident, as if a hidden enemy had created some kind of trouble.

Without a second thought, he forcefully shoved the "Sea Queen's Ring" into the hand of Simon, the incoming "Governor of the Sea," and growled:

"Hurry up Wedding the Sea!"

In a moment of desperation, the president of the Fishing Guild did not deliberately imitate Jorge's voice, but because his vocal cords had also changed, it did not sound as old as usual.

Simon, caught off guard by Juan Oro's shout, didn't even notice the Change in the other man's voice.

He raised the hand holding the "Sea Queen's Ring" and read the words aloud in a rapid-fire voice.

"O Sea, I will marry you, as a symbol of my conquest of you!" With this thought, Simon threw the uniquely shaped Gold Ring out, and saw its surface glisten and the whole ring tremble slightly.

After the "Sea Queen's Ring" sank to the surface of the water, its light suddenly brightened and expanded to the size of an infant.

It transformed into a cone of light and vanished completely into the azure sea.

The next second, Juan Oro, Lumian, and the others heard a loud bang.

Whoosh!

The Sea boiled, and one giant wave after another rose, tossing the Colorful Flower Ceremonial Ship into the air, an aura of destruction echoing all around.

This... this is the rage of the Sea! How could this be? Juan Oro's pupils dilated, unable to believe that they had still angered the Sea, unable to believe that this year's Sea-Praying Ritual seemed to have failed again.

He clearly followed the entire process and personally witnessed the "Sea Queen's Ring," which had completed the preliminary steps, being placed on the broken Stone Platform representing the Ancestors. He then personally retrieved it and guarded it with utmost care. There wasn't a single problem in any of the steps!

How could that be?

Juan Oro sensed that the Colorful Flower Ceremonial Ship was about to capsize, and his hands clenched tightly, revealing shimmering, Starlight- like scales on his body.

His Eyes then deepened, as if glittering stars were emerging within them.

He connected himself with this "Sea".

The crashing noise abruptly ceased, and the towering, terrifying azure waves froze in mid-air, as if held tightly by an invisible hand.

Inside the Church -like building in Milo Village, known as the "Governor of the Sea".

Miguel, the fake "Governor of the Sea" lying in the servants' room, suddenly sat up, slowly got out of bed, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

He stood in front of the Glass Window where he could see the Weeds behind him, and muttered to himself, "It's almost time..."

"I wonder what kind of expression Juan Oro will have after discovering that the Sea Sacrifice has failed again. Hehe, this is your way of repaying me for all the 'care' you've given me over the past year."

"What is Loki doing? Suddenly abandoning the original plan, isn't he afraid of something unexpected happening?"

Miguel is the "April Fool's Day," Core Member of the "Wandering Poet" Wandering Poet disguised himself as the Sailor Ilu to board the ship, but was taken away by the "Madwoman" when he jumped into the sea.

They had already planned what to do and how to do it Last Year, so they had already identified several locals from Santa Port who resembled the unfortunate Governor. As soon as they disrupted the Sea Sacrifice and returned to shore, they immediately killed one of their targets, with the "Wandering Poet" impersonating him.

As for why they were so certain that the "Wandering Poet" disguised as Miguel could become the fake "Governor of the Sea," it was because "Ultraman" would take the initiative to take charge of this matter.

To guard against any sudden betrayal from the "April Fool's Day" fringe members, the "Swindler Wandering Poet," specially wrote "The Secret Records of Emperor Roselle" and gave it to "Loki" to secretly distribute in Trier, creating the illusion that the "Wandering Poet" was still quite active and mainly operated in Intis, preventing others from associating Miguel, who was honestly staying in the "Governor of the Sea's " mansion, with the "Wandering Poet."

Of course, writing about the romantic history of Emperor Roselle was indeed a very interesting thing for the "Wandering Poet," and watching Juan Oro threaten him, beat him with his cane, and then sleep with his granddaughter and the wives and daughters of those involved was also very amusing for the "Wandering Poet," greatly satisfying his mischievous psychology.

However, the prank was just a side effect; his true purpose in impersonating the "Governor of the Sea" was:

The Basement of this building is freely accessible, and the villagers of Milo Village consider it their Ancestors shrine!

Although he is a fake "Governor of the Sea" and is under the watchful eyes of the Sea Kin within the house, the only places he cannot enter are the area where the Ring-Making Ritual takes place and the room where the "Governor of the Sea" keeps watch. He can come and go as he pleases, and as long as he does not do anything out of line, he will not be obstructed. Moreover, according to the information provided by "Ultraman," the Basement of the Governor's Mansion has never been valued by the Sea Kin. Apart from two guards standing symbolically at the stairwell, there are no monitors or protectors inside.

The villagers of Milo Village only offer sacrifices occasionally, and most of the time, out of respect for the "Governor of the Sea," they do not enter or leave the building without permission.

This provided ample opportunities for the "Wandering Poet," the fake "Governor of the Sea."

Thinking of Juan Oro and Lumian Lee's expressions when the Sea-Praying Ritual failed once again, the "Wandering Poet" couldn't help but chuckle softly, muttering to himself in a mocking tone, "You all know that the Sea Sacrifice, the Ring-Making, and the vigil are held once a year, but didn't you consider that the Ancestors worship ceremony can only be held once a year as well?"

"That dilapidated Altar also needs to gradually gather the spirituality of Worshipper, taking about twelve months to accumulate enough power for one 'enchantment'."

More than half a month in advance, before the Basement was even taken seriously, he placed an item related to one of the three Pathway on the Altar, openly taking away the Steal power accumulated on the Altar!

Based on this, he believed that no matter how successful the Ring-Making Ritual was last night, and no matter how closely Juan Oro and Lumian Lee guarded the "Sea Queen's Ring" to prevent it from being replaced, the "Sea Queen's Ring" would not have the ability to Steal the power from the bottom of the Sea.

Therefore, the Sea-Praying Ritual was bound to fail, and this time, the seal would be further opened, and the long-accumulated "Volcano" inside would erupt completely!

Those who try to stop them will die!

Last Year April Fool's Day, the reason for taking the risk of making "Madwoman" the Subdeacon and deliberately replacing "Sea Queen's Ring" with other items on the Stone Platform for "Ancestors worship" was that the key point that the High Sequence power of Steal could only be used once a year had not yet been fully verified. Although "Ultraman" could enter and exit the Basement to do some analysis and experimentation, he dared not do it too frequently, lest he arouse suspicion.

After the failure of Last Year's Sea-Praying Ritual and the monthly experiments conducted over the previous eleven months, "The Wandering Poet," "Ultraman," and "Madwoman" were now certain that they no longer needed to painstakingly plot to replace the real "Sea Queen's Ring." They could simply take the Steal power ahead of time. Therefore, they all watched Lumian Lee's performance with cold smiles, completely unconcerned about what he did, and there was no need for them to actively do anything destructive lest they be exposed by the Church of the Earth Mother.

Of course, some performances befitting his role still need to be done, such as asking Lumian Lee for help.

The "Wandering Poet" withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to his left hand.

There are traces there left from wearing a certain Ring.

This is the item that holds the key to the "Sea Queen's Ring"!

Santa Port, Solo Hotel, door to the fifth-floor Suite.

Holding Madame Giorgia in his arms, Lugano's thoughts became jerky, as if the iron Gears were covered in rust or lacked lubrication.

"What's wrong?"

Was I attacked?

"No, I have to get out of this state quickly..."

Lugano tried to push away the beauty in his arms, but found that she had become very heavy and was using different parts of her body, such as her elbows, wrists, knees, and toes, to prevent him from raising his arms and taking a step. These movements were very small and subtle, like the playful teasing and flirting between Lover.

This lapse in thought was so sudden that even a "Planter" couldn't break free from Giorgia's grasp.

Lugano panicked and opened his mouth to shout for help.

Just then, Giorgia raised her head and pressed her rosy lips to his.

Lugano was momentarily stunned.

The room next to theirs.

Dressed in Women mercenary attire, Jenna was holding a Mirror, using the glass and other objects in Lumian's Suite to "reflect" the situation in the living room.

Seeing Lugano and Giorgia embracing, flirting, and soon kissing passionately, Jenna couldn't help but mutter, "Damn, how can they be so horny at a time like this? And in front of a child!"

Considering that members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" would be joining Franca's side, Lumian assigned Jenna the task of secretly monitoring Lugano to see what was wrong with the translator.

As a former "Exaggerated Woman," Jenna had seen similar scenes before, even more explicit ones. She just didn't understand why anyone would be so desperate to put on a show at the door.

At that moment, Anthony Reid, who was next to her, looked in the Mirror, frowned, and said, "It doesn't look like intimacy. Intimacy isn't like that in terms of movements and expressions."
