I'm not just human!

Gumbling--

The sound of fine wine going down his throat rang out from beside him. Xia Fa turned his head and saw Avalon, who had downed another large glass of Cardan wine.

But Avalon still seemed unsatisfied. He picked up a golden bottle and began to blow into it. His cheeks visibly swelled up, then immediately shrank back, his throat bulged, and all the liquor went down into his stomach.

"Aha--"

He actually drank more than half a bottle of Cardan wine in one go, let out a satisfied sigh, and casually wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Avalon's clear, innocent eyes, like those of a baby, were now hazy and dreamy, as if covered by a thin film.

He had been holding Xiafa, but his hand inexplicably slipped, and he collapsed onto the table, still muttering to himself.

"To be honest, actually... I kind of regret going into the Earthly God Kingdom. There are just too many perverts in there. Damn it, it's made me... I've even started to feel inferior..."

His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, and finally, he too drifted off to sleep.

thump! thump!

Another muffled thud sounded, and before that thud had even ended, another muffled thud followed immediately, almost one after another, on the table.

Xia Fa looked up and saw James the Golden Rapier and Prince Justinian, who had also passed out drunk at the table.

Suddenly, he was the only one still awake at the round table, while the other four were all fast asleep.

Xia Fa shook his head with a chuckle, noticing that there was still more than half of the extraordinary feast left on the table, all of them rustic yet delicious dishes.

The dishes included whole roasted tuna, smoked dried ribbonfish, and spicy squid—all supernatural creatures, some even possessing demigod-like status.

Xia Fa, of course, didn't stand on ceremony, picked up his knife and fork, and began to eat heartily.

Today's voyage has been fraught with danger, and he is exhausted both mentally and physically, so he needs this kind of delicious food to replenish his energy.

He stuffed food into his mouth one by one, and with the several bottles of Cardan wine he had drunk earlier, Xia Fa felt his stomach becoming more and more full, and his extraordinary power was accumulating more and more within him.

After this meal, when we get back to the ship, I'll have to get some exercise; I can't let this go to waste.

Just as Xia Fa made this decision, suddenly, the scenery around him blurred.

Before he could react, his vision blurred, and when it cleared again, he was almost startled.

It turned out to be a treasure room.

The towering ebony bookshelves, hundreds of meters high, were filled with all sorts of secret treasures, sealed artifacts, extraordinary fruits, extraordinary metals, and even secret contracts, a truly dazzling sight.

Xia Fa glanced around but didn't see any overlord-level secret contracts. He then cautiously surveyed the environment of the treasure room.

Clearly, he seemed to have been "teleported" here by some powerful secret ability or treasure power.

To his surprise, he had been completely unaware of it beforehand and had no power to resist at all.

If we're talking about who on the Shark Gang could pull off this feat, without a doubt, it could only be the Shark Princess.

Suddenly there was a strange noise above his head. Xia Fa looked up and immediately saw a pair of delicate white feet dangling in the air.

It was Princess Shark. At this moment, her petite body was sitting on the top of the bookshelf in front of Xia Fa, her small hands resting on the crossbeam of the bookshelf, supporting her body, and her gaze from behind the mask looked down at Xia Fa.

"Are you full?"

The clear, cool, and authoritative voice rang out. Although it was crisp and clear, it did not make anyone dare to show the slightest disrespect.

Now that they were closer to Princess Shark, Xia Fa felt that she looked exactly like Auf, except for her hair and eye color.

However, under these circumstances, he certainly couldn't just admit it rashly, so he had to respond first:

"We've almost finished eating. Thank you for your hospitality, Princess Shark."

Princess Shark did not respond to him, but simply raised her little hand.

A wisp of light flew from her hand and landed in Xia Fa's arms.

"Okay, I've brought the things. That's all."

The clear, cool, and dignified girl's voice rang out, and Xia Fa felt the surrounding scenery blur again. When he came to his senses, he found himself... in a bedroom!

This is clearly a guest room on the Shark, because the floors, walls and ceilings are all made of familiar ebony, and it is unknown what kind of extraordinary tree it is.

The guest room contained only one bed, which was quite small, but the blankets and pillows were as white as snow and smelled pleasantly of sunshine.

Considering the conditions at sea, this is indeed a very good treatment.

"Is this so that we can eat and drink our fill, then get a good night's sleep and rest?"

Xia Fa chuckled, surprised that the Shark Gang had provided such attentive hospitality.

Unfortunately, he was teleported too fast and didn't even have time to ask Princess Shark a few questions or subtly probe whether she was indeed Auf.

But as long as we're at sea, there will probably be opportunities in the future.

"Truly worthy of being called the Overlord, he teleported me here and there so easily, and I didn't even have the power to resist..."

Thinking back on what had just happened, Xia Fa once again deeply felt the power of the Overlord.

After regaining his composure, he sprinkled a handful of live iron powder, which spread throughout the small cabin. Then, using the secret abilities of [Bending Manipulation] and [Time Concealment] from the Gate of Stars, he casually distorted space and time.

After making these basic preparations, Xia Fa sat on the bed and took out the so-called "old friend" who had given him the item.

It was a metal sphere.

However, unlike the metal spheres of Avalon that can transform into mechanical creations or motorized armor, it is a hollow metal sphere specifically designed to hold things.

This metal sphere has a rough surface and a silvery-gray luster. It is divided into two halves, with a stopper at the junction.

Xia Fa pinched the stopper between the knuckles of his index and middle fingers and pulled hard.

With a "pop," the surrounding air was sucked into the gap, and the metal sphere bounced away.

Inside the hollow metal sphere lay a letter and... a necklace?

Xia Fa was genuinely surprised. Who was this old friend, and why was he giving her the necklace?

The chain of this necklace is made of shadow gold and is engraved with countless tiny, regular patterns in a highly aesthetically pleasing manner.

At the end of the chain hangs a small silver axe.

But this small silver axe was clearly not made of ordinary silver; it was made of an extraordinary metal that Xiafa had never seen before.

Despite his status as a signatory to the Silver Throne, he couldn't immediately identify what kind of extraordinary silver metal it was.

It is neither mithril, nor star silver, nor red silver, nor silver of destruction, nor silver of explosion, nor silver of destiny... and so on.

Compared to the chain engraved with secret text, this small silver axe appears very simple, without any words or patterns on it, just like a student's first attempt at crafting, plain and unadorned.

Xia Fa held the necklace in his hand and played with it for a while before putting it back into the metal sphere. Then, he opened the letter.

Upon seeing the first line of the letter, Xia Fa was stunned, as if many fragments of memories were flooding his mind.

"Shafa, this is Locke. I'm sorry to contact you in this way, but recently, my brother told me that He divined your voyage..."

"Locke..."

In the fragments of memory, Locke is his cousin, the youngest son of his uncle Titchich.

Uncle Titchich had two sons: Hercules and Locke.

The eldest son, Hercules, was more than ten years older than Shafa and was Shafa's older cousin.

As for Locke, he was only two years younger than Xia Fa, so he was naturally his cousin.

"Cousin Hercules... actually went to sea, and, at least, became an angel?"

Shaffer noticed that in the letter, Cousin Locke addressed Cousin Hercules as "He".

This clearly means that Cousin Hercules has at least become an angel.

Moreover, given that Cousin Hercules is referred to as an "old friend" by Princess Shark and is willing to help her, there is even a possibility that Cousin Hercules is the ruler.

Xia Fa grew increasingly alarmed as he thought about it. He was somewhat unclear about what his cousins ​​had gone through.

All I remember is that when I was a child, around ten years old, my Uncle Tetsch's family changed their business from running a bar to doing shipping and foreign trade.

Cousins ​​Hercules and Locke, of course, could only go to sea with their father, Uncle Titchich.

From then on, he lost contact with his two cousins ​​who had played together and had a good relationship since childhood.

But Xia Fa never expected that, more than a decade later, her cousin would have become an angel and established himself at sea!

Moreover, he even gifted himself this necklace!

Xia Fa's curiosity grew even stronger.

Is Uncle Titchi still alive?

Whose ship are Hercules' cousin and Locke's cousin on?

Hercules' cousin is at least an angel, so he's probably loyal to some pirate emperor, right?

He lowered his gaze and continued reading the letter.

But immediately, Xia Fa's pupils contracted as he saw news that he had never expected!

Chapter 191 The Family's Heirloom Treasure? The Crimson Proxy's Move!

The snow-white letter paper was clearly not an ordinary item.

The large characters written in ink above were now imprinted on Xia Fa's eyes, whose pupils had suddenly shrunk.

This necklace, named "A Face Carved with Knife and Axe," is a family heirloom. There are twelve such necklaces in total, and this one belongs to your mother, your aunt. Now, I'm giving it to you.

A face sculpted by a knife and axe?

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised; the name of this necklace was indeed a bit strange.

As for this heirloom treasure... wasn't his mother from a small town? Why would his family have an heirloom treasure?

Thinking back to the mysterious disappearances of his father and mother a few years ago, Xia Fa frowned slightly, realizing that something was wrong.

Fortunately, I am now an Eagle-level superhuman, and I have signed two Overlord-level secret contracts, which allows me to easily kill demigods and even exchange blows with angels who have not signed Overlord-level secret contracts.

In this situation, even if one's mother's family is really involved in something, there's no need to be too afraid.

After all, above angels are rulers. In the entire Star Coin Continent, even including the five pirate emperors and the Crimson Agents, there are only a dozen rulers in total. Under normal circumstances, it is really not easy to encounter or make enemies with them.

Although he had already incurred the enmity of the Crimson Proxy, this extraordinary monarch...

As for how to use it, you just need to hold the axe pendant on the necklace and scratch it against your face. The harder you scratch, the better the effect.
