Chapter 185
The Lord of Billions of Glory.
Upon hearing this name, Shane's heart jumped.
He had more than just heard of it? This was simply his "old acquaintance"!
As early as when Shane explored the first large underwater ruins [Coral City], Shane had established a deep connection with this ancient god.
So much so that he was later regarded as the messenger of the Lord of Glory by the sea people of [Coral City].
It can be said that if there were no Lord of Billions of Glory, Shane's process of earning his first pot of gold would be several times more difficult.
However, due to Shane's improvement in strength, he has set up the [Submarine Anchor Point] in [Emerald Ancient City], and the Glory Religion has almost been lost in the Seven Seas, so he has not heard of this god for a long time.
But now, why did this old dwarf suddenly mention Him?
Is it for preaching?
Or is there another intention?
Shane's mind was full of thoughts, but his face remained calm. He said, "I've heard a little bit about it."
"This should be the name of a god from the old times, right?"
Lindeke sighed, "Captain Shane is really knowledgeable."
"In fact, this god had a very extraordinary status in the old times. The Brilliance Religion that believed in him was one of the orthodox religions in the old times."
Shane certainly knew how powerful the Lord of Billions of Glory was, but Lindeke should have more news to tell him, right?
Facing his inquiring eyes, Lindeke still spoke slowly.
"However, many people don't know the real specialness of this Lord of Glory."
Shane had some guesses in his heart, but he still kept a calm attitude.
Alyssa on the side couldn't help asking, "What's the real specialness?"
At this point, Lindeke no longer kept the secret and said something shocking.
"The difference between the Lord of Billions of Glory and other gods is not in divine power or authority, but in essence!"
"Because... He is not a god of this world at all!"
When this was said, everyone was shocked.
Alyssa and Loren both changed their expressions.
This secret about the gods was really shocking to them.
Moreover, what does "not the gods of this world" mean?
Is there another world outside this world?
Among the surprised people, Shane just raised his eyebrows and quickly regained his calm expression.
Lindrek, who had been observing him, was secretly amazed. Just based on this concentration, it was enough to show that Captain Shane was extraordinary.
Lindrek didn't know that the reason why Shane didn't react much was just because he had guessed it long ago.
As early as the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], the [Scarlet Lord] clearly expressed his disgust for the Lord of Brilliance and called him "Outer God"!
Some later experiences confirmed Shane's guess.
So Lindrek's news was very shocking to ordinary people, but it was not worth being too surprised for him.
For some reason, Shane inexplicably thought of the [Deep Saint Lord] believed in by the [Deep Sect].
According to Mr. Heller, the [Lord of the Deep] is a god that has existed in the deep sea since ancient times, but fell into a deep sleep for some reason.
So, isn't He an ancient god of this world?
Ancient gods... Outer gods...
And the [Evil God] that appeared last time...
Shane felt that many gods seemed to be using this world as a chessboard, placing pieces and fighting each other.
But ordinary people and even ordinary secret path practitioners are not even chess pieces.
Shane is the same.
To change this situation, the only way is to make continuous breakthroughs on the secret path and climb to the top of the "God-ascending Steps" to have the qualifications to face these gods directly.
Soon, Shane put aside these distracting thoughts and looked at the dwarf old man with a smile.
"Captain Lindrek, is this all you want to say?"
"If so, the price of 1,500 gold dragon coins will have to be raised a little bit."
Lindrek's heart skipped a beat.
He found that he seemed to have underestimated Captain Shane.
Such a secret did not arouse the other party's curiosity at all?
Or did Shane already know this information?
After hesitating for a while, Lindrek said: "The news I really want to tell you is actually related to [Sand Island]..."
Here, he paused again and looked at Alyssa and Loren beside him.
Seeing the dwarf's expression, Shane immediately realized.
The next news will most likely be "paid", so naturally, other captains cannot hear it.
Lindrek is an experienced intelligence dealer, of course he will not make such a low-level mistake.
Thinking of this, Shane simply took Lindrek to the captain's room.
As soon as the door was closed, Lindrek said, "Captain Shane, do you know the natives on Sand Island?"
"I heard from Captain Alyssa."
Shane said frankly, "It is said that these natives are not simple, and they have fought off the Federation's troops several times?"
"More than simple."
Lindrek said very seriously, "The environment of Sand Island is special, and it is difficult for secret path practitioners to use secret power. Secret path practitioners above level 5 will be greatly restricted."
"And those natives are born with supernatural powers and have long adapted to the environment there. They are natural hunters and killers in the desert."
"Don't say it's a level 3 secret path practitioner. Even a level 5 secret path practitioner would be in danger of life if besieged by them."
After hearing this, Shane keenly grasped a key point.
"You said that it is difficult for secret pathers to call upon secret power on the Sand Island?"
Lindelek was stunned. He did not expect that Shane's focus was so strange, but he answered honestly.
"Yes, if it were not for the secret pather who specialized in the body, he would not be able to exert 30% of his strength..."
The dwarf's expression became more and more strange as he spoke.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he faced Hasen, Shane did not seem to use any secret pather's secret technique, but used pure strength to knock Hasen out.
Lindelek thought it was some kind of secret path ability to strengthen the body, but now thinking about it, isn't it the case?
He glanced at Shane, and it was a little hard to imagine...
This seemingly slender body actually contains such terrible power! ?
On the other side, Shane was silently digesting Lindelek's information.
He thought that the restrictions of the Sand Island only existed for high-level secret pathers, and if it was really like what the dwarf said, wouldn't this Sand Island be his home court?
The overall quality of 3.17 is enough to crush most enemies.
[Norwich Treasure], there is a slight chance.
To be honest, Shane still has some ideas about this treasure.
That is the legacy of the pirate king, even if only a part of it is enough to make people excited.
However, after a brief heartbeat, Shane quickly calmed down.
Regardless of whether Lindrek's information is true or false, there must be many people in the Seven Seas who know this news.
Take the Federation for example, after several defeats, didn't they know to send out the physically powerful secret pathers?
There are also similar strong people among the pirates.
Shane is definitely not the strongest among them.
His current strength can only be said to have a chance.
Shane quickly made up his mind: "Let's break through the fourth level as soon as possible, and then see what happens." He turned to look at Lindrek, and after thinking, he said: "Are you trying to say..." "These natives are related to the billions of Lords of Glory?" Lindrek nodded heavily: "Yes." "In fact, the natives on [Sand Island] are the most devout believers of the Lord of Glory!" At this point, Lindrek finally showed some of his business nature and grinned. "And I happen to have a few relics of the Glory Church here. Although they cannot be used, their aura can greatly reduce the hostility of the natives towards you." Then, he took out a shabby thing that looked like a badge and a talisman from the space equipment. Seeing this scene, Shane finally came to his senses. Lindrek went around in such a big circle, first talking about how powerful the Lord of Glory was, and then talking about how difficult the natives were. It turned out that the ultimate goal was to sell products to him! I can only say that he is worthy of being the captain of the Fishing Ship, and worthy of being a merchant who has been at sea for so long.
This business skill is indeed unique!
However, looking at the dull and worn amulet in Lindrek's hand, Shane couldn't help laughing.
"Captain Lindrek, your information is indeed valuable, but... you found the wrong person."
"... huh?"
When Lindrek was still a little confused, a bright and warm light suddenly lit up in the captain's room.
The dwarf turned his head and saw——
In Shane's palm, a complete amulet of the Glorious Church was emitting a faint glow.
It was under its effect that a ball of light appeared in the air.
Seeing this, Lindrek suddenly widened his eyes, full of disbelief.
But after being surprised, he made a move that Shane didn't expect.
Without saying anything, the dwarf captain knelt on one knee in front of Shane and said respectfully.
"Lindelik, meet the Lord God's Messenger!"
"Ah?"
This time it was Shane's turn to be stunned.
From what he said, Lindelik himself is actually a firm believer of the Huijiao?
But how come he also thinks of himself as a God's Messenger?
Now is not the time to be in [Coral City], and rashly accepting this identity may not be a good thing.
So Shane immediately said, "I'm not the envoy of the Huijiao. Did you misunderstand something?"
Lindelik shook his head firmly: "Impossible."
"Such a pure Huijiao divine power, who else can display it except the envoy?"
The corner of Shane's mouth twitched slightly: "Is it possible that I just borrowed the power of these Huijiao relics?"
Lindelik looked at Shane seriously: "Although I don't know why you are unwilling to admit this identity, you should know that the relics of our Huijiao are not something that everyone can use."
"Especially now that the glory of the Lord of Hui is gradually fading away..."
As he said this, Lindelik's expression was slightly dim.
As if to prove his statement, he reached out and took the Huijiao amulet in Shane's palm and injected the secret power into it.
Afterwards, a ball of light that was obviously much smaller and dimmer rose in the captain's room.
"Even I find it quite difficult to use this amulet. If it were an ordinary secret pather, it would not be able to activate it at all."
Hearing Lindelik's words, Shane was stunned again.
This matter was a little beyond his expectations.
He originally thought that the [Huijiao Amulet] could be used as long as the secret power was injected into it, but now it seems that this is not the case.
And if you think about it carefully, the sea people in [Coral City] cannot use the relics of Huijiao, isn't it because of the special characteristics of the sea people?
So, the biggest anomaly is that I am not a believer, but I can use the relics of Huijiao! ?
Shane frowned, feeling very strange.
People know their own business.
He has never really believed in any god, let alone being a messenger of God.
After thinking about it, there are only two reasons why he can play the role of Huijiao relics.
Either it is the mysterious [Eye of the Secret Sea].
Or it is the soul of a time traveler who does not belong to this world!
Did the foreign god take a fancy to him because of this?
Shane looked at the dwarf kneeling in front of him, and he was quite amused.
He has always been called a messenger of God by the sea people of [Coral City]. I thought it was just a disguise, but now I think about it, I can't tell whether it is true or false.
However, whether it is a messenger of God or not, this business still needs to be done.
Lindrek, contrary to his businessman nature, offered to give Shane more money, but he was rejected.
Shane still knows the truth that eating someone's mouth is soft and taking someone's hand is short.
Finally, the transaction price of [Viper] was still 1500 gold dragon coins.
In addition, Shane sold the crew members of [Viper] to Lindrek, Alyssa and Loren respectively.
In the previous pursuit, Loren and his companions lost a lot of people, and this group of crew members can undoubtedly quickly replenish their combat power.
After calculation, these crew members were sold for more than 100 gold dragon coins in total.
However, Shane did not ask for all the money, but used this batch of gold dragon coins to buy the equivalent rare materials from Lindrek.
It must be said that Lindrek has a lot of good things, some precious metals and woods are good goods that cannot be bought on ordinary islands.
No wonder many captains are willing to do business with him.
Among them, one material is the most precious, which cost Shane 800 gold dragon coins——
[Sea Dragon Shedding]
[Quality: Epic]
[Type: Material]
[Description: A layer of shell shed from the sea dragon. 】
【After being used as a supernatural material for strengthening the hull, it can greatly enhance the "solidity" attribute of the hull, the efficiency of secret force absorption, and the affinity with seawater. 】
【The power of the sea flows in my body. 】
Compared with the dragon bones obtained in the [Siren Islands] before, the biggest advantage of this sea dragon skin is——
Fresh!
The secret force on it is well preserved, as if it has just been shed not long ago.
It can be seen that if it were an ordinary person, Lindrek would really be reluctant to sell it. It was only after Shane "exposed" the identity of the envoy that he was willing to take it out.
After that, Shane made another deal with Lindrek.
The items traded were nothing else, but the relics of the Huijiao that Shane had looted in the [Coral City].
These relics are not of much significance to Shane, and keeping three or four pieces is enough.
But for Lindrek, the holy objects of the Huijiao are of great value in themselves.
Both parties felt that they had made a profit in this transaction.
It can also be regarded as a real "win-win" situation.
"Lord God's Envoy, happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation."
In the captain's room, Shane and Lindrek shook hands and talked happily.
Even when Shane heard this title, he couldn't hold back.
Seeing this, Lindrek immediately showed an expression of "I understand": "Don't worry, I will never reveal your identity in front of outsiders."
The corner of Shane's mouth twitched.
What did you understand! ?
He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and asked: "How do you plan to deal with the [Viper]?"
Lindrek smiled and said: "Lord God's Envoy will know soon."
As he said, he took out something from the space ring and handed it to Shane.
"Compared to this little thing, there is another thing, please accept it."
