Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 502 Their Own Fates and Campfire Talks
"Well, my plans for the future..."

The Ice Witch immediately fell into deep thought.

Long, long ago, when she was still a young nun, she inherited the destiny to save the sea and the ability to project fate at the Winter's Abbey.

Even as the monastery was destroyed, she remained like an ascetic, a prophet, walking through a world on the brink of destruction.

This is her duty, and also her destiny.

This time, the great whale's disaster was beyond imagination, and coupled with her injuries, the Ice Witch originally thought that her life would vanish like snowflakes.

Even if they don't die, they won't live much longer.

Therefore, she didn't consider the future at all, let alone have any plans for it.

But she never expected that a little black hair would fall from the sky!
Little Black Hair did everything she was supposed to do.

They did things they shouldn't have done!

Not only is he not dead, he's also incredibly healthy!

What are you doing? The Ice Witch raised her head slightly, a childlike thought flashing in her eyes.

Go back to the Kingdom of Winter. No, the Kingdom of Winter doesn't need her now.

Rebuilding the monastery? No, that's too boring...

I'm confused!
"Um……"

The Ice Witch thought for a moment, and then, unconsciously, turned her gaze to Chen Qi and Fen.

I don't know why, but I always feel a sense of reluctance.

Fen's blood flower disease was not cured.

And then, at dawn...

A glint of light flashed in the Ice Witch's eyes.

The opportunity presented by the Rift Tide gives Chen Qi a very high probability of advancing to the sixth rank.

This growth rate even surpasses hers back then.

Perhaps, Little Black Hair can go even further, reach a higher state, and become a god...

Help Qi and Fen.

"That's right, it's not that I want to stay with them, but that they need my help..." The Ice Witch rested her chin on her hand and smiled slightly.
"Fate tells me that you are still too young and need the help of this witch."

"The Kingdom of Golden Flower Birds may be more dangerous than you imagine. I'll see you off."

A small yellow flower sprouted from Fen's head, and she hugged her teacher tightly.
"Hehe! I knew it! The teacher is the best! The teacher wants to go with us!"

Fen, like a clingy kitten, rubbed her soft little face against the Ice Witch.

The Ice Witch coughed:
"I didn't intend to be with you; I was just fulfilling my duty..."

Big White Hair was with us... Chen Qi wasn't surprised; he was used to Big White Hair's stubbornness.

Chen Qi then looked at Aslina beside the white-haired giant and asked:

"Azlina, what about you?"

"This saint!?"

Aslina chuckled, looked up, and adjusted her round-framed glasses:
"I will return to the White Tower Federation to assume new responsibilities, and also to see my dear grandfather!"

She looked at Chen Qi, a hint of conspiracy flashing in her eyes.

The feud between Little Black Hair and Big White Hair can never be forgotten!

Although she couldn't beat Chen Qi and the Ice Witch, she could beat her grandfather!

Her grandfather will surely help her avenge herself!

However, she also had to admit that whether it was Chen Qi, the Ice Witch, or An.

Although they treated themselves badly, they helped the White Tower Hunters and the White Tower Federation.

The influence of the Great Whale extends beyond the waters of the Bek Kingdom to include the White Tower Federation.

It was because of Little Black Hair that she was even able to return home with the title of a hero.

One thing at a time...

The sage of books secretly made a plan.

When she got back, she told her grandfather to whip them.

They whipped themselves as many times as they had whipped themselves, and then whipped themselves back.

Then, forgive them... Aslina couldn't help but smile slyly.

"This guy..." Chen Qi thought to himself helplessly.

Aslina's desire for revenge was all too obvious.

However, over the past few days, although Chen Qi and Aslina initially hated each other, they have also become comrades-in-arms in the fight against the Great Whale.

Chen Qi knew that even if Aslina sought revenge, she wouldn't kill.

More than anything, it stemmed from the pride of a saint.

Have a safe journey...

Chen Qi said with a smile, then looked at Haye and Ramon beside Aslina.

The campfire shone on the faces of the two old men.

The two of them were drinking strong liquor, their aged faces flushed.

"Me?" Ramon said.

"Return to the capital to fulfill my duties. In fact, many A-rank rifts have also been created in the interior of the capital—"

Haye then said:

"The Witch Sea of ​​today is no longer the sea it once was. Even if the tides recede from the rift, it will become the most prosperous port!"

Now, all the major families in the capital city are eager to take over Moonstone City.

Clearly, the Magic Bullet family cannot gain a foothold in Moonstone City.

Haye said:
"Only a more powerful family can stabilize Moonstone City and this prosperous sea."

“This place needs an invisible hand. It’s time for this old man to stop fighting and focus on managing the family.”

Managing the family business... Chen Qi's gaze involuntarily fell on Madam Ollie.

Mrs. Olivia's silver hair fell loose as she gently bit her lip, a hint of resentment flashing across her face.

Haye, right in front of her, wanted her territory.

But she also had to admit that Haye was right.

The Magic Bullet family is like a candle flickering in the wind, no longer capable of taking control of Moonstone City.

“I want to hold a formal funeral for my husband, who dedicated his life to Moonstone City.”

Lady Ori made a concerted effort to maintain her authority as the Speaker of the Moonstone City Council in Haye's presence:
"Then, we educate the children of our family."

Sending them to the art capital of the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom for further studies was a mistake.

Mrs. Oly clenched her little hand and mustered her courage to say:

"Then, we must strive to restore the reputation of our Magic Bullet family!"

The Magic Bullet family is the oldest family in Moonstone City, and they must not give up the struggle just because of their current weakness.

"is it?"

Haye smiled slightly.

At this moment, Chen Qi took a sip of mead and smiled slightly at Haye:
"Haye, Lady Ollie has helped me a lot. I hope you can work together to peacefully manage Moonstone City."

"Together……"

Running it together... Haye looked at Chen Qi and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

The Black Hunter meant that Lady Ollie was one of his people!
Chen Qi smiled slightly.

He had a very good impression of Mrs. Olivia and General White Gull, and General White Gull had even helped them in some ways.

Now, it can be considered that I am repaying General Bai Ou for a favor.

Moreover, Chen Qi hopes to support Lady Ollie's Magic Bullet family.

He still needs 'believers' to ascend to the position of Lord of the Deep Sea Flames.

On this land, Chenqi also needs its own power.

Although old man Haye was a good person, Chen Qi was more inclined to believe Mrs. Oli.

"..."

Haye, who wasn't particularly ambitious, nodded.
"no problem."

Mrs. Oli looked at Chen Qi, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She had offended the Black Hunters before, and she thought that Chen Qi would side with Haye.

You must understand, she is now just an insignificant, impoverished noblewoman.

"Thank you..."

Mrs. Oly nodded.

Haye took out his good wine from his backpack card:

"By the way, speaking of families, Black Hunter! Are you interested in expanding your family line?"

"To be honest, even before today's events, several nobles from the inland regions had expressed their desire to form a marriage alliance with you..."

My granddaughter is a border hunter, and she'll be back soon. She's my pride and joy..."

Hayek's gaze fell on the small purple flower that had suddenly appeared on Finn's head:

"In some cases, the laws of the Kingdom of Bey allowed men to have multiple wives."

"..."

Fen used her little hands to hug Chenqi tightly.

"Build my own family?" Chen Qi thought for a moment.

While Haye's backing was undoubtedly powerful, he had to admit that the Black Hunter's talent far surpassed that of everyone in his family, and even the monsters at Imperial University.

Therefore, his suggestion was to let the Black Hunters spread their lineage and establish a new family in Moonstone City.

If Chen Qi can truly advance to the sixth rank, then he and the forces behind him will gain an unprecedented ally.

Once news of Chen Qi killing Whale Father gets back, nobles seeking marriage alliances will fill the entire Moonstone City!

Therefore, Haye decided to strike first.

Hmm… Chen Qi looked at Fen beside him. Fen said softly, with a hint of resentment:

"Qi, we must return to our Canary family, we Canaries..."

"Um……"

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

As the Ice Witch and Haye said, the Empire would not tolerate the freedom of a person who is about to advance to the sixth level of transcendence.

Although Hayek is a good person.

Chen Qi was unaware of the forces behind Haye.

In the capital, there are some madmen who will stop at nothing to obtain extraordinary power.

Moreover, Fen's blood flower disease was already terminal.

Even if he chooses to cooperate, it will only be after Fen has recovered.

Chen Qi said calmly:
"Not considering it for now..."

It's such a pity... Haye wanted to offer some advice, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words and patted his chest, saying:

"No problem, Black Hunter. If you have any problems, you can come to us."

Then, Chen Qi looked at An, who was directly opposite him.

I wonder where she'll go after this is over?
An's gaze was fixed on Aslina's eyes.

stare--

Aslina stared at her like a resentful ghost.

“An, you’re a fifth-tier superhuman now. Who knows, you might surpass me soon and become the new Lord of the White Tower.”

Aslina said sarcastically.

An thanked her softly:

"I'm sorry, Lady Aslina..."

The White Tower helped her a lot, but she betrayed it.

Moreover, on her path to advancing to the fifth rank, she 'borrowed' a large amount of material from the White Tower in the name of Aslina.

The White Pagoda is gone forever!
"Teacher Aslina, I will work hard to collect materials to repay the White Tower's kindness."

An said.

"Humph--"

Aslina angrily ate a large mouthful of rice.

As for what happens next... An's gaze fell on Chen Qi.

Now, she can't go to the White Tower.

Moonstone City doesn't need her.

More importantly, my inner thoughts… An looked at Chen Qi and Fen, and placed her hand on her chest:

"Everyone, would you mind having another mage on your way to the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom?"

"Of course not, An, you're welcome."

Chen Qi immediately agreed.

"it is good!"

The moment he received the reply, An's mechanical face instantly broke into a silly, sunflower-like grin.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi looked at the people next to Haye and Ramon, the Ice Demon Pirates members, Palu and Bri, who had been silently eating for a long time.

Buli looked at Chen Qi and laughed loudly:

"I'm getting married, and in the tides, I met a half-dragon girl who's a mechanic..."

"She is from the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, Black Hunter. We are also going to the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom for a honeymoon."

"As for what happens after the marriage, as long as Uncle Ramon doesn't object, I'd like to continue following Captain Paru."

Ramon looked at Brie.

Brie is also a member of the Steam Hand.

Dissatisfied with factory life, he and Paru, who came from humble beginnings, became pirates.

Beneath the rift tides, he is now also a formidable hammer-type transcendent.

Ramon said seriously:

"I have no objection, but the reputation of the Steam Hand must not be tarnished."

"Palu, what about you?"

Chen Qi asked.

Palu has now advanced to the fifth rank, and his extraordinary power can not only change his appearance, but also modify his internal structure over a long period of time.

Dragons, elves, shadow demons...

Although not as powerful as Chen Qi, Palu is still a strong individual who has risen rapidly in the Rift Tide!
Given time, his ability and talent will surely allow him to surpass Hayek.

Delicious… Paru wiped the rice grains from the corner of his mouth:

"Black Hunter, as a dice-type superhuman, I don't like a mundane life."

"My next goal might be related to you."

A hint of doubt flashed in Chen Qi's eyes:
"Is it related to me?"

Paru said:

Yes, the ocean, as the edge of our world, holds countless treasures.

According to our latest news, in addition to the Witch's Sea, many treasures have also been discovered in a much larger area of ​​the ocean.

"The Witch's Sea, the White Tower Sea, the Sea of ​​Flowers, the Sea of ​​Blood, and even more distant and ancient seas..."

Palu took a bite of meat, incredibly excited:
"A new age of exploration is beginning!"

"Therefore, I am prepared to expand our Ice Demon Pirate Crew."

No, it's a new pirate crew, the Ghost Pirates! Let's conquer the seas!

Hmm? A brand new pirate crew? A hint of excitement flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

In fact, he also had the idea of ​​forming a pirate crew.

Palu blinked at Chen Qi:

"Qi, the establishment of our new pirate crew requires your help; more precisely, we need you to become the people behind the scenes of the pirate crew..."

"After all, you are a sea herder."

Paru said.

Unlike others, Paru understands the extraordinary profession of the sea and knows about the sea god and the sea goddess.

If Chen Qi, a sea herder, advances to the sixth rank, he will most likely have a profession closely related to the sea.

And his professional mission.

No, to be precise, after reaching the sixth rank, their mission should be called a divine duty!

Undoubtedly, after the Battle of the Great Whale, the Black Hunter's reputation in the Witch Sea will soar to new heights, surpassing even that of the Ice Witch!
If his guess is correct, Chen Qi can easily attain his divine position in the Witch Sea.

However, it's different in other sea areas!
Chenqi needs someone to spread his name and his power throughout the entire ocean!
If Chen Qi and the Ice Witch were to become the backers of their pirate crew, their safety and power would be greatly enhanced.

And Palu can also realize his dream of becoming the Pirate King and explore a more dangerous world!

This is a win-win idea... Chen Qi thought for a moment.

Although he has not yet been promoted to Lord of the Residual Flame.

However, he does need believers.

At the same time, his ranch also needs manpower to take care of it.

He needs helpers to cultivate followers and sea creatures.

And without a doubt, Paru is the best partner.

"Of course no problem."

Chen Qi said.

"Yay!" Palu exclaimed happily.
"Next, I plan to explore the sea area of ​​the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom."

On the way... Chen Qi drank a glass of fruit wine and looked at the little crow:
"Little crow, what about you?"

The little crow, just awakened from its coma, glanced at Chen Qi, then looked away and said indifferently:
"I do not know yet."

"Let us know if you need any help."

Chen Qi patted the little crow's head.

"Um……"

The little crow nodded gently.

As night fell, embers from the campfire gently sprinkled the ground.

In this final moment, everyone raised their glasses in celebration, sharing anecdotes from their past and their bright dreams for the future.

It seemed as if there were endless things to say to each other.

Even the usually aloof Ice Witch, like a bard, spoke eloquently to everyone about distant stories.

The campfire was fueled again and again.

I don't know how much time passed, but the wind blew the campfire into the shape of human figures.

A soldier from the Steam Hands quietly approached and addressed the group:

"Gentlemen, the lighthouse is now complete."

The lighthouse is built... Chen Qi took a sip of water to soothe his dry throat.

Time passed much faster than he had imagined.

This bonfire feast has finally come to an end.

The sparks fell like fireflies.

Everyone's attention turned to Chen Qi.

The banquet is over.

It's time to light the beacon and illuminate this dark sea.
