Chapter 9 Visitors from Blessed Island

Hailia, the capital of Fuguang Island, is located on the coastline of the largest island, stretching from the low-lying circular port all the way up to the mountains behind it.

Glorious cities of white stone and ornamented with gold, with towers, theaters, and domes of astonishing scale, each no less than a palace of exquisite beauty.

The courtyards for human habitation are interspersed among the majestic buildings, making the whole city appear more open and well-organized. The streets and arch bridges run through the whole city, all of which are exquisitely designed geometric figures, perfectly symmetrical and square.

An eye-catching high tower is located on the high platform, overlooking all the buildings in Hailiya. There is the heart of the entire Fuguang Island, the center of power, and the shimmering tower where Hailiya's council is located.

Today, Shuoguang Pagoda welcomed a long-lost visitor.

"Master, I'm back."

Wearing a plain gray robe and dusty, Tyrus got off the boat, didn't even have time to take a bath and eat, and went to the top floor of the Shining Light Tower without stopping, and found Archbishop Malgusa who was studying ancient books in his study.

"Terus, how's the situation going out this time?" Margusa's voice seemed to zigzag.

She didn't look up at first, she only glanced at the middle-aged man who had just entered the door with her sharp eyes, and raised her eyelids in surprise when she saw his attire clearly.

"Huh? Why didn't you go home first? Have you heard of it?"

Tyrus was slightly taken aback, "I heard... what?"

Margusa pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "It's a long story, if you didn't come here for this, first tell me why you came to me in such a hurry."

The burly man, who looked like a scholar but at the same time looked like a soldier who had been stationed outside for a long time, hesitated for a moment, not knowing where to start.

Margusa saw through Tyrus's thoughts, and sighed, "Oh, it's been 15 years, and your character really hasn't changed at all... Tell me, what's wrong with you this time?"

"To be precise, it's not about stabbing people." Tyrus lowered his head with a sad expression, "We were attacked by red hyena sharp scales in the Mang River Delta..."

"The Red Party?!"

Margusa gasped.

Red Mane Sharp Scale is a vastaya hunter from the deep sea, an uncivilized barbarian group, who make a living by raiding fleets and robbing goods, and humans are also one of their diets.

The ships boarded by the red gang are almost sentenced to death. Those primitive vastaya usually use magic to tame the terrible sea monsters in the deep sea.

Only by killing their leader will they retreat. It is a pity that ordinary humans alone cannot resist the magic group whose physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people.

"Are you and Ryze okay?" Margusa asked with concern, got up and walked in front of him, "How many crew members died on the 'Bright Seeer'?"

"The gang of water ghosts killed 14 of our crew members. Now there are 12 slightly injured and 5 seriously injured. I'm afraid they won't live long." Tyrus sighed.

During the speech, he secretly observed Margusa's face, but found that she was almost indifferent to it except for doubts, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Hearing the figures told by Tyrus, Margusa frowned and asked, "Huh? I remember that your 'Bright Seeer' had 50 crew members? How come the total number of casualties is just over half?"

It wasn't that Margusa was surprised, he and Ryze were the only ones who could cast magic on Tyrus' trireme, but Ryze was a reckless apprentice who didn't have self-control and sense of responsibility.

Since Ryze studied with Tyrus two years ago and returned to Blessed Island with him, Tyrus has never taught him how to draw arcane runes.

In other words, only Tyrus can use the Holy Stone to draw the power of the spirit world to cast spiritual magic on the Brilliant Seener, but the energy that the Holy Stone can store is limited, and it takes a certain amount of time to recharge after the magic power is exhausted.

With Tyrus alone, he and Ryze could be considered blessed by the gods to escape with injuries, let alone deal with those brutal and bloodthirsty red mane sharp scales under the premise of protecting the lives of the crew.

"That's the second thing I want to mention." Tyrus smiled bitterly, "It was Kamavia's people who saved us."

"Kamavia?! Why are these brutal and violent guys in the Mang River Delta?" Margusa suddenly changed his face, "Could it be that they discovered our Blessed Island and sent scouts to investigate?"

"No, they are led by Kalista of Kara Hegayari, the princess of Kamavia..."

"Yes, I have heard of her name. The granddaughter of Alvaro, the lion of Kamavia. As a princess of the royal family, she is willing to let go of her status and lead an army of common people."

Tyrus scratched his tanned cheeks and smiled awkwardly: "I brought her to the island."

After being stunned for a moment, Margusa widened his eagle-like eyes, suddenly changed his expression, and shouted loudly: "Stupid! You know what Kamavians are like, how could you bring them into Blessed Island? ?!"

Margusa's reaction was in line with Tyrus' expectations. When he brought Ryze to the island two years ago, Margusa's voice was louder.

"No, master, I only brought Kalista." Tyrus explained cautiously, "She said that the queen of the new king, Viego, was attacked by assassins, and her life was dying, and she urgently needed the water of life."

Hearing the word "Water of Life", Margusa was already filled with ravines, and his face engraved with lines over time became even darker.

"Terus, have you forgotten the oath you made when you joined my sect?"

Margusa's voice returned to calm, but the invisible and intangible aura surrounding her made Tyrus unable to breathe.

Cold sweat oozes from his forehead and gathers along his cheeks to his chin. Tyrus swallowed and stammered, "I didn't reveal any news about the water of life. I only told Kalista that it was a legend."

He hesitated for a moment, then added: "But I promise, I will go to the council on her behalf and tell her appeal...Master, I believe her sincerity, and she said that she was guided by Soraka, the son of the stars. "

"Hmph, Son of the Stars? I don't know if the prophet who only exists in legends is true or not. You brought the Kamavians. How many cities have they attacked allies over the years? I'm afraid All you see is a disguise."

Margusa snorted softly, and the sense of oppression brought to Tyrus was not as strong as before.

After walking back to the desk and sitting down, Margusa returned his eyes to the classic, "Did you tell her when the council will meet her?"

"Not yet."

"Then let her wait for a day. Tomorrow, you bring her to the council hall of the Shimmering Tower. At that time, other elders and masters and I will listen to her request."

Tyrus sighed silently for Kalista in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and bowed in the direction of Margusa.

"I see, Master, I'm going to tell Kalista..."

"Wait, you forgot something." Before Tyrus turned to leave, Margusa stopped him again, "This matter is of great importance, even more urgent than Kalista."

"Huh?" Tyrus was full of surprise, "Did something important happen to Hylia during the time I was away from the island?"

"It's not about your stupid apprentice."

"Josh? What's wrong with him?"

Tyrus has only accepted two apprentices so far, one is Josh and the other is Ryze.

Josh and Ryze basically have the same magical talent, but the two children have completely opposite personalities.

Tyrus was worried about leaving the troublesome Ryze alone on the island, so he took him with him every time he went out to explore.

But this time, how could Josh, who has always been calm and obedient, go wrong?

Just when Tyrus was quite puzzled, what Margusa said next shocked him:

"He found the Darkborn weapon that was originally sealed in the spirit world, and touched it."
