Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 594: Sea Forest Needs No Blessing
Hear this.

Li Miao almost understood it.

The biggest difference between the Sea Forest, Zhuxin Island and other forces is that it does not have power that is close to that of a god.

The Archon is in charge of the operation, while Zorro and Zen maintain the daily operation of the Sea Forest.

And precisely because it does not have the majestic and convenient power of the spirit candle, if the sea forest wants to keep operating, it must first pay a large amount of "tax" to these space crack portals.

The remaining harvest is what Haisenlin can distribute.

But unfortunately, in this world...

The greater the ability, the more you eat.

If you want to maintain a strong fire, you must add more firewood.

This also means that the Sea Forest cannot distribute resources equally, and the consumption gap between Zorro and others and ordinary residents is huge.

With resources already scarce, Hailin Forest naturally has no time to manage the lower levels.

Or from another perspective, it can be said that Hailin Forest could have refused to accept the lower class.

Zorlo and others have also made efforts in this regard.

When he didn't have the disease, the lower class probably wouldn't dare to be too blatant.

But after Zorlo lay down, Lanye began to test it impatiently...

all in all.

The three top leaders of the Sea Forest did not just sit there doing nothing, but instead tried their best to maintain the stability of the entire Sea Forest and protect the lives that live there.

But such stability is fragile.

Just as outside forces intervened and caused Zorro to become ill, signs of chaos quickly emerged in the Sea Forest.

The sea forest has no blessing from God.

It can only take root with difficulty in the boundless sea without land, and grow like rootless duckweed...

……

After listening to what they said.

Li Miao couldn't help but stand in awe, and then sincerely apologized to them.

The consul shook his head and didn't take it too seriously.

In this regard, Li Miao couldn't help but want to plan a way out for Hai Senlin, so he suggested: "...Perhaps, Zhuxin Island can provide you with some help?"

In his opinion, if the Sea Forest could be incorporated into Zhuxin Island, it would be a good thing for both parties.

Players on Zhuxin Island can obtain a huge trading place, while Sea Forest can also obtain shelter and a large amount of resources.

however.

After hearing Li Miao's proposal.

Zorlo and Zien looked at each other, and then fell silent.

The Archon shook his head and said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but Hailin Forest has no intention of accepting the protection of any gods or forces."

He explicitly rejected Li Miao's proposal.

Zorlo and Zien remained silent, as if they had anticipated his answer.

"Why? The situation in the Sea Forest is very dangerous now. If the Firestealer and the Ashes do the same thing again..."

"No reason." The Archon's eyes were firm: "Even without gods, the Sea Forest will definitely continue to exist!"

After saying that, the consul raised his hand, and his subordinates behind him stepped forward and presented a box to Li Miao.

"There are things in here that contain the coordinates of the Sea Forest, as well as a pass flag to enter the Sea Forest."

"Zhu Xin Island can come to the Sea Forest to trade. We will welcome you at any time, but please abide by the rules of the Sea Forest."

After saying that, the consul nodded at Li Miao, then turned and left.

The consul seemed extremely resistant to Li Miao's proposal, and his attitude towards Li Miao became somewhat cold.

This left Li Miao confused.

After the Archon left, Zorro sighed: "Brother Miao, you'd better not talk about this topic in front of the Archon. This is something he can't accept."

"Ah? Why?" Li Miao couldn't understand why the governor was so stubborn and refused to accept such a win-win situation.

"Zorlo and I don't know much about his past, but..." Zien shook his head: "...his belief has always been that the Sea Forest does not need the protection of any gods and will continue to exist."

"In his eyes, your Zhuxin Island is also like this, so what you just said actually touched his bottom line."

After Zien finished speaking, Zorro also smiled bitterly: "I mentioned this to him before, and he told me directly and mercilessly that if I had such thoughts again, I could leave the Sea Forest..."

After listening to what they said.

Li Miao was a little dumbfounded, and his eyes twitched.

It seems that the Archon is very resistant to the so-called protection of God...

Before, when he heard the Archon say that the Sea Forest had no protection from the gods, he even thought that the other party was hinting at something.

Unexpectedly, the other party was simply stating a fact...

Even when he was talking to Zorlo, he could say such words without mercy. He did not get angry with Li Miao, which could be said to be a great favor to him.

I don't know why. However, Li Miao did not feel dissatisfied with the governor because of this. Instead, he felt that the other party was very ambitious.

The reason for such resistance to this matter may be related to the Archon's past.

"Well, forget it if it doesn't work. I just mentioned it casually."

Li Miao didn't take it to heart, and then asked the two of them about Ivor.

"Ivor? He's the brother of that Ali kid, right?"

At this point, Zorro sighed again.

"I have also heard about this matter. In fact, I wanted to bring these two brothers directly to Shanghai Forest, but the governor did not allow it."

“I didn’t expect they would end up like this.”

Zien seemed to see Li Miao's surprise, so he explained: "The Archon believes that if Zorlo does this, it will disrupt order... He is always very stubborn in this regard."

Hearing this, Li Miao frowned.

From your point of view, this archon is indeed a respectable leader, but he is a bit stubborn, or even paranoid.

Then, he asked further questions, but unfortunately, the two of them also did not know what was special about Ivor.

Just when Li Miao was about to say goodbye and leave, Zorlo stopped him and solemnly gave him a pair of wristbands.

"Brother Miao, please accept it."

"This is……"

"Nothing, just a little thing..."

"He named it after himself, the Zorlo Thunder Wrist. He wore it when he came out of the coffin. After putting it on, he can mobilize lightning and can also temper his body during thunderstorms."

Zien said from the side.

"Zen, you bastard, who told you to interrupt!" Zorlo said angrily.

Hearing this, Li Miao immediately shook his head: "This thing is very important to you, I can't accept it. If you really want to express your gratitude, then change it for something else, and I will definitely accept it."

It was true that he was very interested in this thing, but as Zorro was the guardian of the Sea Forest, this equipment must be very important to him, so Li Miao decisively refused.

"...Don't listen to what Zien said. The Thunder Wrist is indeed important, but its most important body-hardening effect is no longer useful to me. I have other weapons. If you use this, it will definitely make you stronger."

"Take it!"

After Zorlo glared at Zen next to him, he looked at Li Miao earnestly.

"……real?"

Li Miao glanced at Zien next to him. If that was the case, then he could accept it.

"That's true. His strength has indeed not improved for a long time." Zien nodded.

"Zen, you bastard..." Zorlo suddenly became furious.

What does it mean that your strength has not improved for a long time?

"..." Li Miao hesitated for a moment and accepted it for the time being: "Well, this thing is indeed useful to me, I will accept it."

"That's right." Zorlo felt relieved and laughed when he heard that.

Li Miao nodded: "Although the Archon did not agree, with these things, Zhuxin Island should soon establish contact with the Sea Forest. If the Sea Forest has any situation like before, please inform me."

"After all, Ashes and Firewood Stealers are also enemies of Candlewood Island."

After receiving replies from Zorlo and Zen, Li Miao bid farewell to them for the time being.

"Take care!"

Then, Li Miao went to find the consul again. Although there was some unpleasantness just now, since he was about to leave, he still had to say hello.

……

After returning to the Cremation, Li Miao planned to leave with Zered.

At this moment, the captain of the guard suddenly came with a large group of guards.

The guard in the lead was the one Li Miao met on the street before.

Li Miao thought they were in a hurry, but what he didn't expect was that each guard was carrying a wooden box with no idea what was inside.

Fortunately, the captain of the guards explained, "To thank you for your help, the Archon asked us to send some gifts. Please accept them."

Having said that, the captain of the guards signaled the other guards to open the box.

As soon as the box was opened, a pile of glittering jewels, fireworks, antiques and even various specialties appeared in Li Miao's eyes, as if they were about to blind him.

"This……"

"I'm welcome to that! Hahahaha!"

While Li Miao was still hesitating, Zered's eyes lit up and he laughed out loud.

After hearing what Zered said, a group of guards quickly put down their things and bowed and said goodbye.

And Zered's laughter stopped, as if he realized something.

He coughed and looked at Li Miao next to him: "Ahem, sorry... I forgot it was a gift for you, do you want to accept it?"

Li Miao: “…”

Everyone has left and you're still asking me if I want to accept it?
