Chapter 620: 199. Light and darkness coexist_2
“Oh, I see. I won’t ask anymore then.” Noland Lee wisely stopped asking.
Jenela, however, smiled and said:
“No, you can know about this part, Jarvis. Miss Selena Williams mentioned in the letter to me that I should share some limited information about the Pirate Nation with you. It will help in capturing Moscat from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.”
Noland Lee put the arrest warrant back into the metal box and straightened up:
“Please tell me, Jenela, I’m all ears, and I have no reason to refuse this knowledge.”
Jenela carefully weighed her words and slowly revealed the hidden secrets of the Suman Archipelago.
Noland Lee listened carefully and gradually understood the whole story.
It is said that many years ago, when the fleet of the Ulnas Circle first discovered the Suman Archipelago, they encountered the native residents there.
They were a group of sea monsters with human bodies and snake tails.
In the Era of Dragons, according to the “Law of the Giant Dragons,” all creatures were divided into ten levels.
The divisions were based on lifespan, power, size, and status.
The highest level creatures were the Ancestral Dragons of each Giant Dragon Faction, which are level 9 creatures.
Below the level 9 creatures are level 8 creatures, mainly composed of the core forces of each Giant Dragon Faction, which are the dragon leaders.
Further down, from level 7 to level 0, are:
Level 7 creatures, elite adult dragons.
Level 6 creatures, ordinary adult dragons.
Level 5 creatures, elite young dragons.
Level 4 creatures, ordinary young dragons.
Level 3 creatures, baby dragons.
Level 2 creatures, Dragon Men.
Level 1 creatures, Dragon Servants.
Level 0 creatures, slaves, also calledDragon Slaves.
The Dragon Man and the Dragon Servant only differ by one word, but their connotations are fundamentally different.
Dragon Men are dragons of a similar size to humans that walk upright.
Dragon Servants are humanoid creatures who help dragons rule over slaves.
Dragon Men can become nannies and guards for baby dragons.
Dragon Servants can only act as slave owners overseeing slaves.
The native residents of the Suman Archipelago, those sea monsters, were originally the Dragon Servants of the Giant Dragons.
These guys somehow survived the catastrophe at the end of the Dragon Era and still controlled a large number of human slaves.
The Human Wizards on the Ulnas Ring Ships were regarded as rebellious slaves by the Dragon Servants.
It is easy to imagine that the Ulnas Ring Ships, which had already established a Human Wizard civilization, engaged in an extremely fierce war with the sea monsters of the Suman Archipelago.
This war lasted for a long time, approximately six years.
Eventually, the Ulnas Circle drove all the sea monsters into the sea and rescued all the human slaves enslaved by the sea monsters.
Then, the story of the Ulnas Circle decoding the legacy of the sea monsters and mastering deep sea magic emerged.
By this point in the conversation, Noland Lee understood the situation.
The deep-sea magic of the Deep Sea Branch comes from the native residents of the Suman Archipelago, the sea monsters who are also the main members of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. These guys are all proficient in controlling seawater and have even higher attainments than the Deep Sea Branch, so it’s no wonder they have been able to compete with the Deep Sea Branch for such a long time.
It’s a true reflection of both sides when it comes to being unable to break each other’s tricks since they share the same origin.
So, the question arises.
“Jenela, I often hear people mentioning the apocalyptic catastrophe at the end of the Dragon Era, but few can tell the specific details. Can you tell me the answer?”
Noland Lee said:
“If it involves secrets, then pretend I didn’t ask and I was rude.”
Jenela shook her head slightly:
“I’m sorry, Jarvis, I don’t know the answer either. Not only me, but even Miss Selena Williams doesn’t know.”
“What do you mean?” Noland Lee asked puzzledly.
Jenela said:
“All information about the Dragon Era is very, very limited, as if it has been purposely cleaned up. Since the Ulnas Circle explored the Suman Archipelago and then discovered the existence of the Spinning Continent, more than 500 years have passed. We only know that an apocalyptic catastrophe ended the Dragon Era, and humans were able to escape their slave status. We know nothing else.”
Jenela paused:
“Well, no, maybe it’s not accurate to say that we know nothing. At least we know that a few giant dragons flew out of this planetosphere before the catastrophe arrived. I heard that one of them, named Tarsali, is still alive today and is also related to the Hotams Metal Department. You should know about this, right? Recently, wherever we go, wizards are talking about it.”
“Yes, I know.” Noland Lee slowly nodded and took a deep breath, saying:
“Let’s end the conversation here, Jenela. I’m going to go work on the bounty task. Time is money.”
“Yeah! Time is money! Good luck, Jarvis. If you need any help, just let me know.” Jenela encouraged him.
Noland Lee stood up and quickly walked towards the door:
“I’ll be right back and ready for the next bounty task.”
“Okay!”
With the door opening and closing, Noland Lee moved through the corridor outside the room and entered his crazy money-making work mode.
The wanted criminals on the six arrest warrants he saw before might still be in the Suman Archipelago or might have already left.
Regardless, Noland Lee did not plan to be distracted. Once he has finished the high cost-effective bounty tasks, it will be the same when he later pursues the wanted criminals.
As long as the Pirate Nation controlled by the sea monsters is not completely wiped out, Noland Lee doesn’t need to worry about not having wanted criminals to catch.
Noland Lee suddenly realized the meaning of the phrase “light and darkness coexist”.
In a way…
He should be grateful for the existence of the Pirate Nation…
Noland Lee smiled at his absurd assumption and quickened his pace.
