Pirate Kingship-Chapter 791 - 496: Noah’s Ark, Fated Disaster Star! (Part 2)

This isn't the first recorded flood.

We must find that [Noah's Ark] which preserved most of the world's living beings during the Great Flood at the end of the Paleozoic Era, before the Mythological Era, and is the most powerful mythical warship in this world.

Or else, when the next great flood rushes over from the Spiritual World, we could be the ones to drown.

After over a thousand years of searching, it has been confirmed that [Noah's Ark] is definitely not in some corner of the Old Continent.

It is most likely that as the Primordial Ocean receded back then, it was taken to the central area of the Echidna Triangle.

The biggest problem now is that we need many Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinarys to illuminate the unknown area with their souls to help us find that ark!

Saint John thought of this, and he raised his hand to move the Law Network, sending out a message.

The situation at the rear is like this, the low-order clergy at the front just need to shout the Holy Word and fill the line with their lives, but the saint who plans behind must consider more.

When to use open strategy, when to play tricks, when to decide which part will be sacrificed, all need deep consideration. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

It's indeed exceptionally exhausting.

Soon the Law Network manifested, and a figure dressed in the Regent King's attire appeared in front of Saint John.

Slightly bowing, he saluted:

"Your Excellency Saint John, you called for me?"

It was the newly appointed Regent King of the Kingdom of Castilia, [Puppet King] Louis.

After further solidifying his power at home, he continued his consistent style of not being too respectful, even towards a saint.

Saint John looked him up and down, giving extra attention to this collaborator who wielded enormous power in the secular world:

"Mr. Louis, have you solved your troubles yet?"

Previously, [Puppet King] Louis had made a hasty escape to devour his own kind, using the [Sextant] twice in a row.

If he couldn't personally cover the same distance "with his feet on the ground" in three months, he would be forced to embark on a one-way trip to the Sun or Moon.

But as the Throne War reached a stalemate, how could he find time to traverse the First Circulation Zone again?

So just after helping Juana's coronation, he hurriedly sought help from Saint John.

The latter was quite straightforward, using the Zero-Level Sacred Relic [True Cross] preserved by the Church to perform a redemption ritual and transfer the side effects from him.

Because it is said that [Holy Son] once shed blood and offered himself on the cross, it is the greatest redemption, he said:

"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."

"If anyone offers a sacrifice to the [Creator], he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering and it shall be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him."

One of the effects of the True Cross is to transfer the cost that one would have to bear to a "scapegoat"; by simply killing the "scapegoat" and offering it to the [Creator], future troubles can be avoided.

But the condition is that, like the Day of Atonement, a person only has one chance a year.

And the scapegoat cannot be an ordinary sheep either; it requires capturing a peer Sequence Extraordinary or three lower-order innocents to act as one.

The Puppet King had executed Duke Bertran of Albuquerque, who had an affair with Queen Joana, the nephew of Bishop Fonseca, and several attendants and court guards, not just out of spite, but also to gather enough offerings.

After sacrificing them, the side effect was indeed eliminated, but as the Puppet King thought of these "fellow souls," his expression turned noticeably unpleasant.

Not just because he was cuckolded by a bunch of insignificant people, but because he discovered that the body he snatched from his older brother had a problem!

He knew Enrique was inherently incompetent, but he didn't know where the problem lay, so he simply replaced himself with a... spring-drive-powered treasure.

Theoretically, no disease would be an issue anymore.

But in practice, he found that there were inexplicable occurrences of spring fatigue, often leaving him useless before even a minute of work was done.

More terrifying was that he found himself increasingly disinterested in women, but instead gradually felt that those robust court guards were somewhat... charming.

"Hiss!"

At the thought of this, he shivered instinctively.

Rumors had already started in the court that the Royal Iron of Castilia was cursed, that any male who dared to touch it would suffer the fate of the [Incompetent].

Furious and humiliated, the Puppet King turned all his serving maidservants and close attendants into puppets.

Saint John asked if his troubles have been resolved?

He only wanted to say: "They're troublesome indeed!"

But Louis knew that he couldn't afford to offend this saint in front of him for the time being, so he forced a smile and said:

"If you have any instructions, feel free to tell me, and I will certainly not disappoint your helping hand."

Saint John had no idle curiosity to pry into the Puppet King's privacy and directly mentioned the main agenda:

"It's still about what I talked to you about last time.

I need more [Artificial Lantern Persons] to do something.

Now on the Old Continent, your Castilia, York Family's Hightins, and the Holy Silver Empire are all in chaos, but the colonies remain calm.

Most of the Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinarys of the Old Continent have gone there; with the development of the Southern Continent, it's the right moment to make a move."

The Puppet King immediately showed difficulty:

"But the number you require is too large. If there is a massive capture of Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinarys, it might provoke a backlash from the Lighthouse Union.
