Chapter 143: Chapter 109 Can You Represent Azure?

“`

“Bang!”

“Hahaha!”

In the crowded tavern, the dim yellow light flickered, bottles flew through the air, smashing onto the floor or against the walls.

The sound of shattering glass mingled with the shouting and yelling of the brawling crowd, one after another.

Minstrels clutching their accordions, some strumming on guitars, wove through the tables looking for customers eager for a story.

“What about these singers? They look like they know a lot.”

At that moment, Fulara, cloaked in a black hooded cloak, curiously looked at John, who was sitting in front of her.

Unlike Fulara’s black attire, John was clad in a green robe, resembling a ranger who had fallen from grace.

“It would expose us.”

John said, “They might know something about Sigurian, but it’s not good for us to ask directly.”

“It’s mainly those stories,” John said, “I’ve heard them already.”

“When?”

“Last night on the ship,” John replied, “I talked to a few talkative locals and gathered that information.”

Fulara felt a bit embarrassed since she was also gathering intelligence at that time but was nowhere near as efficient as John.

“No worries, everyone has their strengths.”

John knew Tree Elves were simple in nature, not suited to be spies.

“Sigurian…”

“We aren’t here to find out what he’s up to.”

John’s goal was clear: to learn Sigurian’s schedule and how long it would take before he learns of Shate’s death: “The forces under the Master of Miracles are well hidden and rarely expose themselves, so it’s difficult for us to unveil them.”

“Moreover…”

John cautioned Fulara to be on guard: “Sigurian’s strength is unknown, we can’t approach him rashly in case he detects us.”

Although his uncle had said that the powers of Miracle under different Masters of Miracles are difficult to detect.

But better safe than sorry, John was clever and cautious, which was why Bailuo had sent him here to gather information.

“Thud!”

As they spoke, a shabbily dressed, unkempt fat man was thrown down from the second floor, landing right beside the long table in front of John and Fulara.

“…”

The two exchanged glances, both somewhat speechless about this place known as the haven of freedom, Pirate’s Paradise.

All the talk of Shipwreck Island belonging to Ogysail and the intoxicating den of iniquity were utter nonsense.

Compared to their Yatun Island, this place was nothing.

“Chaotic, disorganized, filthy, rotten…”

“Can people really live in such a place?”

As a Tree Elf, Fulara might look like a fifteen-year-old blonde girl now, but not long ago, she was an innocent, cute, and simple little loli.

“I hate it here.”

Tree Elves love forests, but here, you couldn’t find even a single flower, let alone a blade of grass.

“It is indeed uncomfortable.”

John wasn’t much older; at 14, he was actually still a boy.

However, John was well-developed for his age, standing nearly 1.7 meters tall, and his special ventriloquism made it easy to fool the average person.

“Rumble!!!”

And just then, the tavern suddenly began to shake.

“What’s going on?”

“…”

The unexpected event quieted everyone, including John and Fulara.

Shipwreck Island wasn’t really an island, but a massive ship that had run aground here.

“`

No one knew where the ship came from, only that it had crashed here and had broken into three parts: the bow, the hull, and the stern.

Someone had once measured it and found that the hull alone was at least 20 kilometers long.

Ogysail had people repair the ship, reconnecting the three parts and remodeling its interior and deck areas, transforming it into this magnificent sea city.

And now, the entire ship was inexplicably shaking and trembling. What in the world was going on?

“John.”

“Hmm?”

Fulara said softly to John, “It’s Miracle Power, and it’s enormously powerful Miracle Power at that.”

Miracle Power wasn’t so easily sensed.

If the other party converged their power, even hiding their presence, they could remain undetected even if the strength difference was vast.

But the Miracle Power that Fulara felt was at least several kilometers away from them.

From such a distance, it could reach here and be sensed by Fulara.

“Such power from so far away…”

It was hard to imagine just how terrifying the Miracle Power of that individual emitting it was.

“Could it be…”

Both of them thought of a name: “Sigurian!”

“Sigurian, you need to calm down!”

In the spacious room, countless objects made of gold shone under the light.

But now, these objects were shattered like glass, leaving debris all around, with even the walls and floor covered in cracks.

Here, led by Sigurian of the Morgan Faction, Evil Wolf of the Ogysail Faction, and represented by Kristin and Coral of the Azure Duchy Oversight Council, there was a fierce debate over the ownership of a certain strait.

“You think I’m the one who needs to calm down?”

Sigurian glared at Evil Wolf, a burly Black Knight standing before him.

“You’re just realizing the obvious?”

Evil Wolf extended his hand towards the wine glass on the table, and chilling cold air spread around, immediately turning the hot wine ice-cold.

“Glug, glug.”

Drinking the wine, Evil Wolf said calmly, “The Cross Strait is mine, you won’t be able to take it from me.”

“Bam!!”

With a punch, Sigurian shattered the entire table and bellowed, “Evil Wolf, are you asking for war with me?!”

“If your older brothers were here, naturally I would have no confidence in defeating them.”

“But if you want to fight, I, Evil Wolf, am not against seeing it through to the end!”

Evil Wolf’s demeanor, as if he looked down on him, infuriated Sigurian enormously and made Kristin very uneasy, “Gentlemen, please calm down…”

“I have no interest in mortal affairs.”

Evil Wolf said, “Even if there is a war, it won’t affect them.”

“Choose the place.”

With those words, Evil Wolf silenced Kristin’s objections and looked at Sigurian, giving him the right to choose the battlefield.

Evil Wolf didn’t care where the battlefield was, confident that he could defeat Sigurian.

“Mr. Evil Wolf!”

As Kristin was at a loss for what to do, Coral spoke up, “If you go to war, according to the Four Seas Agreement, we, Azure, have the right to intervene.”

“Have the two Pirate Kings prepared themselves for war with Azure? Please consider this carefully.”

“…….”

Both Evil Wolf and Sigurian fell silent for a while. Sigurian sat down, while Evil Wolf turned to Coral with a smile, “Little girl, can you represent Azure?”

“I can.”

Kristin interjected in time, “If the two of you want to go to war, you would need the consent of both Pirate Kings first.”
