Chapter 471: Chapter 282: No Problem, Genius!

The Black Bone in the middle let out a slight sigh at the sound of arguing beside him.

"If the consequences can be borne, separation is not impossible."

It finished saying.

Hard Bone and Soft Bone, though quarreling, clearly heard its opinion.

Mind and blood both shattered... the consequences are no joke, almost a gamble with life.

And neither Soft Bone nor Hard Bone obviously had that kind of courage.

After swearing at each other twice, they stopped and responded to Black Bone’s suggestion.

"...Well, let’s forget it then, the risk is not worth the gamble."

"Since that’s the case, what else can I say, I’ll reluctantly keep staying with this soft-boned weakling."

The two heads both chose to compromise to a certain extent.

After resolving this issue, Black Bone couldn’t help but look at Rogel: "Master of the Black Tide, is there no way we can completely resolve changing this current state?"

Indeed, not only Hard Bone and Soft Bone.

Black Bone was also dissatisfied with the state of this body.

It also wanted to have a body on its own, no longer needing to listen to those two guys’ nagging all day.

This wish was possessed by all three consciousnesses, but could not be realized in one body.

"No."

Rogel opened his mouth, giving this answer that instilled hope.

Regarding this question, even without using the Power of Faith to find the answer, he could give the same reply.

After all, the vastness of this world is shocking, who knows what kind of things might appear, something that might satisfy Black Bone’s demands is not impossible.

But, of course, Black Bone wanted to ask if Rogel had any solutions.

"...If you were to ascend to the Demigod Tier, you might be able to reorganize or alter the form of the body with your own will."

Rogel slowly opened his mouth to offer the most reliable solution.

However, upon hearing this, Black Bone’s heart suddenly sank halfway.

Demigod... easy to say, but nowhere as easy to accomplish.

Not to mention, it was still a half-dead faith spirit...

As for Black Bone’s specific thoughts within its heart, Rogel wasn’t aware.

But, having said this much, he too ought to receive something in return.

He hadn’t planned to answer the guy’s questions for free.

"I provided what you needed."

"Now, you need to provide what I need."

Rogel spoke calmly, several scarlet eyes staring uniformly at Black Bone.

In an instant, a tremendous pressure ensued.

The three heads of Black Bone involuntarily lowered by two degrees.

Hard Bone glanced at the other two, then spoke with a stiff tone: "Master of the Black Tide, you haven’t completed our initial request..."

Black Bone and Soft Bone maintained silence, although not speaking.

Between the three, although not opposing each other, there was an unspeakable tacit agreement.

Hard Bone had spoken out just now because of this tacit agreement; it saw that Black Bone and Soft Bone were reluctant to open their mouths, so it stepped forward as the bad guy.

After all, it had already offended the Master of the Black Tide.

"You have received the answer."

Rogel was not particularly angry but replied calmly.

His questions weren’t asked without a reason.

"...Go help my believers, assist them in winning the war."

"Afterward, the choice is yours."

Rogel said.

He did not force Black Bone.

For the favored, he was not particularly eager; although Black Bone could indeed become his favored, it was not necessary.

Frankly, he did not care about favored ones, in this world, being strong oneself is the hard truth.

Upon hearing Rogel’s words, Black Bone and the other two heads instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Rogel truly forced them, they would have no choice but to act falsely or expend a precious Death Replacement Bone to escape.

Fortunately, he didn’t do that.

"...Let’s go, let’s leave this place quickly..." Soft Bone hastily said.

"War, I’d like to see it for myself." Hard Bone seemed eager.

But Black Bone didn’t move; instead hesitated and addressed Rogel again: "Master of the Black Tide, I have one more question for you."

"That’s possible, but you must guard Magrela for a year after the war ends."

Rogel named his price.

"What are you doing, Black Bone, hurry up and leave..." Soft Bone was somewhat anxious.

Hard Bone also seemed perplexed.

"Okay." Black Bone paid no mind and nodded decisively, then asked: "Do you think I should have dominance over this body, is it correct?"

"What? You agreed to stay an extra year just to ask such a stupid question?"

Hard Bone was somewhat dumbfounded.

Soft Bone found it hard to believe too.

To this, Rogel simply responded calmly: "I have said, without you, they probably wouldn’t have survived till now."

"But ultimately, you are one entity."

"I understand..."

"...Farewell, Master of the Black Tide."

Having received an answer, Black Bone left the place along with the confused two heads.

Rogel saw this, and couldn’t help but smile.

The question Black Bone asked was somewhat strange.

But actually, the real question it meant to ask should have been "Should I listen to them, or should I act according to my own judgment."

This youngest Black Bone also had its own confusion.

However, now it seemed it had taken a step toward maturity.

...

The matter of the Black Bone Sea Monster was settled.

Rogel also managed to clear out any potential threats around Magrela.

And the Shaluo Fleet soon set out again, sailing toward the area controlled by the Kizi Church.

War is about to arrive.

But before the war arrives, Gelin’s voyage clearly took a slight lead.

"We’ve left the mist of the boundary."

Rogel looked back at the mist boundary behind, feeling slightly relieved.

"This time, the mist boundary wasn’t dangerous, not as thrilling as last time."

Noemi chomped on an apple, speaking words that made Rogel momentarily disoriented.

No danger?

Do you realize how many times I’ve sl-ed to get through two consecutive safe Mist Areas?

When that God-devouring Lanternfish bit down, you were the one who suffered the most!

Rogel couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

But this was indeed normal.

The crew is not Rogel; in their perspective, it appeared as though entering the mist boundary encountered Rice Grain Waterfall, then bypassed an island, and soon escaped the mist...

"The sea... it’s red..."

Mira came to the railing, mumbling unconsciously.

In her eyes, a flash of bright red color passed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Mira?"

Yas frowned, naturally noticing this scene, stepped forward and patted Mira’s shoulder.

He glanced at the sea below, which was blue, plain and unremarkable.

"Hmm?" Mira quickly snapped out of it, looking at him confusedly.

"Are you alright?" Yas thought she seemed a bit off.

"I’m fine, just a bit distracted." Mira shook her head.

Meanwhile, Rogel slowly withdrew his gaze.

The curse on Mira undoubtedly still existed, and seemed to have been triggered earlier, starting to manifest.

However, he couldn’t find any clues from the information interface.

"There’s an island ahead."

"Hmm... Is this Rose Island? Seems like a big place..."

At this moment, Lina put down the telescope in her hand and said.

Rogel also took this opportunity to look ahead.

Sure enough, traces of land appeared on the horizon over the sea.

However, what was puzzling was that the island’s color was red.

"Red island..."

Rogel muttered.

"Everyone be careful... prepare to dock."

He took a deep breath, then spoke.

Although he didn’t know what Doyle had prepared for him on Rose Island, it probably wouldn’t be anything delightful.

As they approached Rose Island.

Rogel also instructed Heisatan to begin exploration around the waters of Rose Island.

He wanted Heisatan to see what lay beneath these waters.
