A rare magical miracle in the world-Chapter 836 - 514: Capital of Navea (Request for Monthly Votes)

The Capital of Navea, 'Skan', is the most brilliant maritime gem of the Northern Seas.

It's a nation of islands owned by King Ogersai of the Northern Sea, consisting of more than sixty isles, enveloped in mists, invisible in the mundane spaces of Miracle Mainland, perceivable only to those endowed with Miracle Power.

Bustling harbors string together, forming a labyrinth akin to mountain gorges at sea, parts veiled in mist while others bask under the starlit night sky.

Here, there is no absolute division of day and night; some inexplicable radiance brings the symbolic dawns and dusks that denote the passage of time.

Great tales of this place course through the seas—a mythic kingdom.

If one must draw parallels, it's like the mundane realm that exists in every legend, where Mortals reside, with heaven above and the underworld below.

To King Ogersai, the Capital of Navea represents the necessary human realm.

Eighty percent of Mortals that can adapt to King Ogersai's Miracle Power live here, where they multiply and prosper, each bathed in the sacred brilliance of the King of the North Sea from birth.

While it is said Miracle cannot brainwash, education is not brainwashing, after all.

With just one direction, and molding from childhood, adulthood can witness the preservation of a Miracle Citizen's potential unmarred.

In numbers, that's around two hundred thousand.

Don't think that's a small number; a Miracle Kingdom can hardly boast more.

A Three Awakening Miracle, taking Morgan as an example, could have about one hundred thousand Miracle Citizens, not counting the hordes of crazed Sea Beasts the mad feasts might attract.

These Sea Beasts, beyond Morgan's control, are transcendent creatures, exempt from his domain's authority, and hence not part of the count.

The true Citizens of Morgan number a hundred thousand, and that's generous.

A Fourfold Miracle expands more than tenfold compared to the Third Awakening, allowing for up to one and a half million people. King Ogersai, nearing a millennium with his Miracle and having recently broken through Four Awakenings, still has a significant journey to reach a population of a million.

Morgan estimates that perhaps in five or six hundred years, Ogersai could regard Miracle Citizens like dirt.

Because he'll be full, unable to accommodate any new births.

And this doesn't account for the already existing Miracle Citizens of Ogersai.

"Up ahead is Navea."

Old Luwei stood shoulder to shoulder with the Deep Sea King on a surreal, contorted vessel that seemed alive with verdant hues, and around them, waters flowed incessantly—it was a journey beneath the sea.

"There are quite a few on the island, at least two hundred thirty or forty thousand."

"As for them, Luwei, do as you please."

"I am sent by my lord to collect Miracle Citizens," said Old Luwei, "Do they pose a problem?"

"They cannot become King Yatun's people."

The Deep Sea King explained: "Those who enter Navea are already steeped in the Northern Sea King's Miracle Power; at their core, they revere him."

In such instances, they are essentially the Miracle Citizens of the other party.

Even someone as formidable as Bailuo could not, against the wishes of another Master of Miracles, convert others into his followers.

That is impossible; no Miracle can elicit such a change of heart, not even the Supreme Tier Miracles.

"Unless the King of the North Sea voluntarily relinquishes them."

The Deep Sea King shook his head, "I doubt that will happen."

How could Ogersai release anyone? It is said, once a Child of Miracle, always a Child of Miracle, through all eternity.

Miracle Citizens, as long as they are not abandoned by the Master of Miracles, even if their souls scatter to the winds or they cease to exist completely, when they return, they are still people of the Master of Miracles.

This bond, contract, relationship, is deep-rooted and cannot be severed by external forces.

Of course, if the Master of Miracles falls, that is another story.

Once the Master of Miracles dies, the contract is broken, and all Miracle Citizens become free people.

"But the people of Navia, even if they kill King Ogersai, it won't be of much use."

"They truly serve King Ogersai, without being coerced."

In such a case, should the Master of Miracles fall, the citizens would surely follow him into oblivion, accompanying him in disappearance.

In life, they fought for the king, traveling from south to north; in death, they must protect their master's everlasting sleep from disrespect.

"Loyalty."

Old Luwei uttered the word, admiring the faithful, even those blindly loyal: "Cleansing the soul, how about that?"

"Soul cleansing also washes away talent and potential."

The Deep Sea King asked, "Does King Yatun want a bunch of useless people with plummeting abilities, filling up the limited spaces of Miracle Citizens?"

There is a limit to the number of citizens that each miracle can accommodate, but the Deep Sea King doesn't know how many miracles Bailuo has.

For Bailuo, Miracle Citizens are something he can never have too many of; the more, the better.

"By what you're saying, the people of Navia are indeed of no use."

Since they are useless, Old Luwei might as well go on a killing spree: "You strike first later. There should be no problem for your men to deal with a bunch of mundane folks, right?"

"Trivial matter."

The Deep Sea King's plan is simple: unleash countless Sea Monsters to attack.

The South Sea King once had an agreement with the King of the North Sea, granting Morgan military passage rights on Ogersai's territory, meaning his armies could pass through without notifying Ogersai.

This was originally a treaty symbolizing the relationship between them, and at the same time, a humiliation to Morgan from Ogersai.

Because in Ogersai's eyes, not even in death would Morgan dare to launch a surprise attack on him.

Some might think this foolish.

Yet, this is the bait Ogersai set to lure in the big fish, Morgan.

If Morgan cannot restrain his thirst for revenge and truly initiates an attack, then Ogersai would have a pretext for retaliation, even for annexation and killing Morgan, who by that time, even if the Holy Emperor came in person, would be the justified side.

"But King Ogersai will never imagine."

The Deep Sea King said, "This bait, while drawing in one fish, has also attracted a dragon."

What capacity does the fisherman, who believes he can consume this fish, have to cope with a ferocious evil dragon?

"Dragon? My lord, how can mere dragons compare?"

Old Luwei is polishing the blade in his hand, his target being the millions under Ogersai's control, those mortals, the Citizens of the North Sea Kingdom, not in the lands of Navia.

These tens of thousands here, once killed, are killed; only their souls are left as threats, Old Luwei: "I hope it draws in some slightly stronger experts. It's not been easy for this old man to enter the realm of miracles, yet I haven't fought a hearty battle."

"Then I suspect you'll be disappointed."

The Deep Sea King sighed, "Among those under King Ogersai's command, one Epic, seven Legends, all of them together, probably aren't enough to match you in a fight."
