Chapter 342: Lord of the Sonia Sea

Sighing silently in his heart, Klein's gaze swept toward Rekedon beside him, and he said in a flat voice, "Can you simulate a song with the same effect?"

Rekedon was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Klein to turn his attention to him. He pondered and replied, "Theoretically, yes. Sequence 5 Ocean Singer of the Storm pathway also has the ability to influence targets with song. In this regard, they are no inferior to mermaids."

"But I have never heard a mermaid's song, so I cannot guarantee the effect."

"Mm." Klein maintained his persona, responding with a soft nasal sound, then said no more.

After a brief silence, Daniz spoke up cautiously:

"Um, can we discuss the matter of those words that slandered me just now? What would it take for you not to tell anyone about what you just saw?"

"You have to be my servant!"

Tu Ba Ge immediately answered loudly. After saying that, it felt something wasn't quite right, shook its head, and corrected itself:

"No, you're already a servant. Hmm... then just shut my mouth with gold pounds instead!"

Daniz's expression went blank for a long moment, then became twisted. Dog shit! This damned fat rabbit! What do you mean already a servant? I'm the great pirate renowned across the Sonia Sea, worth 4,500 pounds, the Fourth Boatswain of the Golden Dream! Klein watched the interaction between Tu Ba Ge and Daniz expressionlessly. He found that having been stimulated for so long, he could already ignore amusement of this degree. Their little bickering could no longer provoke any reaction from him at all.

"Do your own job."

He reminded Daniz in an indifferent tone, then turned and walked toward a cabinet with tea sets off to the side, saying as he walked:

"Angelweed, returned successfully?"

Klein's tone had not the slightest fluctuation; it didn't even sound like a question, more like a statement.

Rekedon turned his head to glance at Klein, his figure abruptly blurred, then suddenly appeared on the sofa.

Leaning back on the sofa, he said in a voice without much fluctuation:

"Yes, but only the angel rank of Sequence 2 remains. You can try to win Him over. He is very much in need of allies right now. Moreover, He should have a certain degree of control over that quill—it was originally His backup means for resurrection."

Rekedon had not finished speaking when Tu Ba Ge had already hopped onto his thigh, his legs suddenly sinking. Why did it feel like its weight had gone up again? Was this rabbit moving toward the giant bear form of a druid's transformation?

"Boss, can a Sequence 2 Seer turn things they imagine into reality?"

Tu Ba Ge asked with great curiosity.

"No, that's something even Sequence 1 cannot do."

Rekedon gently shook his head and gave a reply.

As they spoke, Klein walked over holding two cups of black tea, casually placing one in front of Rekedon while taking a small sip from the other himself.

Before Rekedon could reach for the teacup, his intuition was suddenly triggered. He looked up and saw a letter abruptly appear in midair, floating straight down.

In the surrounding Spirit World region, a tall humanoid skeleton was striding away from this area. It seemed to sense Rekedon's gaze, and its pace quickened.

It's afraid of me? Rekedon hesitated for a moment, twitched his lips slightly, and withdrew his gaze from the Spirit World.

Why did the messenger leave without showing its face this time? Did it sense the demigod aura on Alger? With some doubt in his heart, Klein raised his hand and caught the letter, then opened it and began reading. A moment later, Klein finished Mr. Azik's reply and casually flicked the letter paper. A cluster of crimson flame instantly shot up from it, rapidly burning the letter to ashes.

He then withdrew his right hand and said in a flat voice, "I plan to make a trip to the Spirit World."

Rekedon looked at him, then gave a slight nod. "Mm, but I still think it's unnecessary. Going to look for them yourself isn't as convenient as having them come to your door!"

He wanted to say more, but his own spirituality was triggered, and a wondrous connection was established through the Spirit World.

Rekedon quickly closed his eyes and carefully sensed for a moment. Vaji Weir—it had already regathered the Naga and restored its own faith? After a brief contemplation, Rekedon reopened his eyes, moved Tu Ba Ge off his lap, and said at the same time:

"I need to go out to sea. Stay here by yourself for a while."

"Alright."

Tu Ba Ge nodded, lay down beside the sofa, even pulled a blanket over and rolled itself up in it, directly turned its head, closed its eyes, and went to sleep. Rekedon was startled by Tu Ba Ge's practiced movements. A fluffy rabbit is also afraid of the cold?

Then, he turned his head and gave Klein a slight nod. His figure instantly turned transparent, transforming into countless brilliant starlight that surged into the Spirit World and flowed toward the distance.

East of the Roshud Archipelago, Sonia—a sea area dense with reefs.

Countless brilliant starlights surged forth from the Spirit World, flickering with specks of deep blue radiance as they spiraled down onto a reef exposed by the receding tide.

Flakes of starlight rapidly reassembled within, revealing Rekedon's figure.

With his appearance, the surrounding waves abruptly grew much more violent, and thick shadows writhed among the reefs beneath the sea surface.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Three tall columns of water suddenly erupted from the surrounding sea surface, kicking up some salty sea breeze.

As the seawater splashed down, three massive sea serpent-like heads extended from beneath the surface. Whether the youthful, middle-aged, or elderly head, all of them revealed an excited emotion.

"Long time no see~ I haven't asked yet, how should I address you?"

"I have already changed my honorific name. As long as it is recited within the Sonia Sea waters, I can quickly respond."

"Follower of Knowledge and Mysteries, Lord of the Sonia Sea, Ruler of Shadow and Flesh, Guardian of the Sea and the Naga—great Vaji Weir!"

Rekedon said with some surprise:

"You can claim the entire Sonia Sea as your own territory?"

He had thought the Lord of the Sonia Sea it mentioned before was just a momentary boast. He hadn't expected that it could actually treat the entire Sonia Sea as its territory—this was countless times larger than the Roshud Archipelago of the "Sea King."

Vaji Weir's three heads each gave a reply: "I have pastured an animated mystical item, one that evolved from the characteristics of the Fallen Earl."

"This was left behind when Solomon sealed me in the Undersea City—it is the core of the seal."

"During the time I was sealed, I had been constantly trying to erode it, and after breaking free, I pastured it."

Its words paused slightly. It observed Rekedon's reaction for a moment, and seeing that he did not mind it pasturing this mystical item—which strictly speaking also fell within the scope of its promised reward—it continued:

"With this mystical item, I can tamper with, add, or utilize certain rules."

"When I finalized my honorific name, that great existence symbolizing Knowledge and Mysteries gave me a response and granted me some knowledge."

"With this knowledge, I can effectively utilize that mystical item, expanding the range of prayers I can respond to across the entire Sonia Sea."

Received a response from the great existence symbolizing Knowledge and Mysteries... the Hidden Sage? I always feel that He and I are a bit too much in sync.

After pondering for a moment, Rekedon temporarily set this question aside. He thought of a new problem: Vaji Weir had chosen to become the Lord of the Sonia Sea, which meant it must remain in the Sonia Sea to maximize its advantage. What about the new route in the Furious Sea? Thinking of this, he looked curiously at Vaji Weir and spoke after some deliberation:

"Can the honorific name 'Lord of the Sonia Sea' point to you? Would leaving the Sonia Sea for an extended period have any impact on this?"

Vaji Weir's three heads all tilted up slightly, and it spoke with a hint of showing off:

"I once proclaimed this title, though it never received widespread recognition."

"But at my peak, I did indeed control the entire Sonia Sea waters, even if only for a very brief time."

As long as no other being spreads this name or achieves a similar feat, this title will still point to me.

Being away from the Suniya Sea for a long time isn't a big problem for me.

As long as no one truly unifies the Suniya Sea, this honorific remains valid.

Does that great being want me to spread faith for Him?

Picking up bargains was just that; at its peak it controlled the entire Suniya Sea area. Most likely, back then the North and South Continents were joined as one, so no one paid attention to the wind and waves on the Suniya Sea beside them, and furthermore, shipbuilding was not well developed back then, and humanity's exploration of the ocean was low.

The title of this chapter was wrong (￣□￣；), I just noticed, and it's been fixed (end of chapter).
