Vice Admiral Deep Sea

In fact, Kronos knew virtually nothing about the Southern Continent.

The Argel Family hasn't expanded in that direction in recent years, so there's no information about them, Benjamin wasn't particularly strong either.

Back then, he chose the sea route for trade without any prior knowledge; if he had done any research, he wouldn't have been completely unprepared.

Therefore, the Message Kronos received from Benjamin was limited to the city of Gurain and some plantations; he knew nothing more.

But Kronos couldn't be so brazen about playing the Warlock in the city.

Therefore, this Message is not very useful to Kronos.

As for the original novel, Klein basically didn't operate much in the Southern Continent, so there's very little Information available for reference.

The merchant ship was expected to stay in the Southern Continent for more than a month, and Kronos just wanted to take advantage of this time to quickly assume his role Warlock.

The environment in the Southern Continent is perfect, except for one problem: it's too dangerous.

Most of the Secret Organizations that can be thought of are active in the Southern Continent, including some chaotic and bloody ones, such as the Rose School and the Numinous Episcopate.

With the cards he currently holds, if he were to run into a Sequence 5 organization like these, he might really be dead.

Therefore, the approach to doing things cannot be the same as on the island. It is essential to observe carefully beforehand and then make decisions cautiously.

These were some points of attention that Kronos himself silently summarized on the ship; the rest could only be learned through practice.

"Klein, come out quickly, something's happened!" Gner's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing Gner's anxious voice, Kronos didn't hesitate and went straight to the door, opening it.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Kronos asked, puzzled, after Door Opening.

But Gner didn't say anything; instead, he pulled Kronos toward the deck.

Seeing that Gner remained silent, Kronos had no choice but to go along with him and follow him onto the deck.

As soon as he reached the deck, Kronos witnessed a shocking scene.

A group of marine creatures swam past the Fleet on the surface of the sea. Among them were not only small fish and shrimp, but also some large fish, and some of them could even be called Sea Monster.

"How about it? You don't regret coming up here, do you? I came down to find you as soon as I saw this scene," Gner said smugly from the side.

But before Kronos could reply, the Captain was also on deck, spoke first.

"There's nothing to be happy about. While the migration of these fish is spectacular, it's not necessarily a natural occurrence. Something even more despairing might happen."

Only then did Kronos notice the Captain's serious expression, which was clearly different from the expressions of the onlookers.

Kronos asked, "What happened?"

The Captain hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fish migrations usually occur on special days, such as spawning seasons or changes in weather, but this is clearly not the case now, so there are two other possibilities."

"The first is the occurrence of a major Catastrophe. They can sense some changes in advance, so there may be Great Upheaval on the seabed, and the possibility of such changes triggering Tsunami is extremely high."

"But even these might not cause huge losses. The second one is even more terrifying. That is Vice Admiral Deep Sea Hal Constantine, the Pirate General whose ship is called the Iron Anchor, which is said to attract fish."

"The Vice Admiral Deep Sea has a relatively low notoriety, but that doesn't mean he won't plunder merchant ships. If we encounter him, we might survive, but there's no guarantee of anything else."

Seeing the Captain's solemn expression, Kronos also frowned.

Before setting sail, he had diligently gathered Information about these Pirate. Although the information was limited and not very convincing, he still gained some understanding of them.

"Vice Admiral Deep Sea Hal Constantine" can be considered a rather unique Pirate General. Although he did not have only one ship like "Vice Admiral Iceberg", he only had a supply ship and an auxiliary ship besides his own Iron Anchor.

He had virtually no bad reputation at sea. He occasionally engaged in plundering, but he neither killed anyone nor took everything at once. He would usually leave some supplies for his victims.

In fact, the name "Vice Admiral Deep Sea" was known earlier than "Admiral of Hell" and "Admiral of Blood," but after that, we rarely heard Message him.

Many people speculate that he should have already reached the rank of Admiral, but because he has not achieved much in terms of military achievements, his title cannot be changed based on mere speculation.

Kronos once borrowed a book of intelligence Analysis about the Negan from Philip.

The book speculates that Hal Constantine has been Sequence 5 for a long time, and he has been looking for an opportunity to become Demigod, which is why he has kept such a low profile.

His ascension to Demigod was not so simple, because this "Vice Admiral Deep Sea" possessed some Sea Monster blood.

Sea Monster bloodlines are different from Elf bloodlines, Vampire bloodlines, or Giant bloodlines. The latter three are all close to human beings. In fact, Klein eventually learned that Elf, Vampire, and Giant were probably all mutated from humans.

However, Sea Monster have virtually no relation to humans. If it's a very pure bloodline, it won't have much of an impact, but Hal's bloodline is inherited from his ancestors.

In this state, even if Hal Constantine had obtained the Sequence 4 Potion Formula, concocted the Potion, perfectly performed the Ritual, and then drunk the Potion, there was still a greater than 90% chance that Loss of Control immediately.

The reason this "Vice Admiral Deep Sea" is so low-key is that he spends most of his time searching for a Sea Monster with pure bloodline. Whether he can devour its bloodline or have the Sea Monster help him purify his bloodline, it will greatly increase his chances of successful promotion.

His ship, the Iron Anchor, didn't have many special abilities; it could simply carry a crew of people across the seabed, which made it easier for him to search for Sea Monster.

As for the so-called ability to attract marine fish, it seems to have that ability, but it could also be attracted by the bloodline of the "Vice Admiral Deep Sea".

His bloodline might be a hindrance to his promotion, but for these sea fish, it's all good stuff.

But in this situation, perhaps the fish fleet is a bit too large, and it doesn't seem like it was attracted by the "Vice Admiral Deep Sea." Also, while the Iron Anchor can travel on the seabed, the other two ships can't, and there are no other Pirate Ship visible on the surface.

While this seems like good Message, it wouldn't be a good thing if something like an underwater volcano erupted.

Just as Kronos was analyzing the situation, the long school of fish, stretching for several kilometers, finally passed in front of their ship.

Seeing that everything was alright, the Captain breathed a sigh of relief and quickly directed the ship to continue its journey.

The Captain in the Fleet did not communicate with each other, but they all simultaneously increased the speed of their ships to the maximum.

Whether it's Catastrophe or Pirate General, it's something they don't want to face, so the best course of action is to run away as quickly as possible.

As long as I move fast enough, nothing can catch me.

Sure enough, after walking for more than an hour, they still hadn't seen a single Pirate Ship.

But this also means they will face another problem: an underwater Catastrophe.

The location here is different from before in the archipelago, where you could easily find a Small Island to dock at any time, because those Small Island all had a few abandoned Harbor.

However, given their current location, there are no suitable places nearby to dock, leaving them with no choice but to drift at sea and weather the Catastrophe.

Sure enough, the sea surface seemed to boil that night. Although it didn't reach the level of Tsunami, it still caused great suffering to the people on board.

Kronos was thrown off his bed seven or eight times. He, who was not usually seasick, felt so nauseous that he vomited up his breakfast that morning.

Finally, with no other choice, Kronos had Gner tie him to the bed, which finally stopped him from falling down.

But throughout that entire night, Kronos continued to experience the feeling of weightlessness.

At its worst, he even felt a drop of twenty or thirty meters.

It's really strange. The fluctuations started just as it got dark, but as soon as it got light, they slowly calmed down.

Around eight o'clock in the morning, one by one, people whose legs were sore from being jostled around walked out of their rooms, leaning against the walls.

No one had an appetite for breakfast; they all rushed to the deck just for a breath of fresh air to clear their heads.

So a very interesting sight appeared: a group of people standing on the deck, taking deep breaths.

After a night of this ordeal, no one on the ship was in good condition, so they could no longer continue.

The Captain gave everyone a half-day off to rest and recuperate before setting sail again in the afternoon.

So it wasn't just this one ship, but the entire Fleet that anchored and rested until 4 p. m.

It was dinner that woke everyone up.

After a good night's sleep, the fatigue and nausea were gone.

After dinner, the Fleet set sail again.

Although this incident delayed their journey, the Captain had no intention of making up for lost time.

Instead, it continued to travel at the same speed as before.

It's just arriving at their destination a day later; it's nothing compared to the more than ten months they'll be staying.

So after discussing with Benjamin, the Captain did not choose to sail at full speed, which would damage the ships, but instead maintained the original course to protect the vessels.
