Destiny is both an end and a beginning.
In the vast ocean and the beautiful night sky, a miraculous super-giant ship is riding the wind and waves like a ferocious beast that can turn the tide.
"Congratulations, Prince and Princess. You will inherit the throne when you return this time. The era of revival of our Kingdom of Cagliari is coming!" The great court magician Marton was very happy. This was the light that the Kingdom of Cagliari had been waiting for for a long time.
Prince Alexander was also very happy. Looking at the vast ocean, he felt that the time when he was a hostage was gone forever. A new chapter finally began. He wanted to unify the continent, then conquer the sea tribe and establish the greatest dynasty.
Precisely because he had been a hostage, his ambition, his aspirations, his patience, and his insight were far superior to those of an ordinary king.
Unlike the prince, the princess's eyes are completely on the baby in her arms. Nothing in the world is more important than a hair of her baby. Her beautiful face reveals the greatest maternal love from time to time. Men's career struggles have nothing to do with her.
After being a proton for ten years, he is finally going back home. His father has developed this invincible anti-magic sea fortress. It is an unimaginable miracle. Even the sea people will have to give in in the future. The era of Cagliari is about to be born in his hands.
"Princess, don't worry, I will make our son the most glorious man in this continent!" The prince said confidently, his eyes full of the future as he looked at his son.
Everything was filled with joy, until suddenly, the dark sea surface became bright, and five moons suddenly appeared in the sky. The six bright moons immediately filled the sky with dim light, and the sea also made a low roar like an angry beast.
Everyone was stunned by this strange sight. The face of the court wizard Marton turned pale, and he murmured: Five planets in a row, five planets in a row, it actually exists, the prophecy has begun...
The sea does not understand the human heart. Huge waves as high as more than 20 meters high continuously hit the hull. The Titanic, which was known as the unsinkable first battleship in the continent, shook violently. The defensive magic circle attached to the hull burst into dazzling light. This was a magic circle engraved by hundreds of wizards. Its defense against water magic was the best in the continent, but it was somewhat powerless at this time.
Their opponent is not the magician of the water tribe, but the endless sea and the eternal and invincible power of nature.
Soon the huge energy made the defensive magic circle shaky, and the people on the ship finally understood their situation. However, in the vast ocean, even a great magician would have no chance of survival. Crying, chaos, and the sound of storms were the themes.
Marton is considered one of the top three magicians in the mainland Magic Guild. He is the only one who can remain calm at this moment. This is the first requirement for being a magician. He knows that life and death are just a fine line away.
"Mage, please take the prince away. We have no hope. Please take him away safely!" Prince Alexander staggered and grabbed the mage's clothes. Although he was also a high-level fighter, there would be no chance of survival in this situation. Only a magician could do it, and Marton was the most powerful wind magician on the continent.
All ambitions were in vain. The only hope of the prince and princess was that their bloodline could survive, and only Marton had this ability.
There was almost no time to say anything extra. The Titanic, which was said to be so strong that even gods would sigh, was torn into pieces. People fell into the sea without any resistance. Occasionally, some magicians tried to maintain their bodies with magic, but they were swallowed up by the huge waves in an instant.
In the face of this great and cruel force, all resistance is futile.
Maybe God was really cruel. The violent winds, rainstorms and huge waves were not enough. Bolts of lightning actually shot towards the Titanic. The huge roar dispersed all the sounds around, leaving only absolute silence in the ears.
As a great magician, Marton had only one thing in his mind, which was to ensure the safety of the baby in his arms. He was the only hope and the only heir of the kingdom. It was hard to imagine what would become of the Kingdom of Cagliari without its heir.
Wizard Marton's lifelong attainments in wind magic have been fully utilized. He knows that resistance is useless and he must submit to the power of nature. The Titania under his feet has been silent for most of the time, but the eyes of the prince and princess remain deeply in his mind.
Why is this happening, why!
Oh God, this is so unfair. The prince worked hard for ten years and was about to succeed, but what he got in return was death, a meaningless death.
The sky has no tears. The six moons in the sky begin to approach each other. The power of the storm becomes stronger. The Titania has disappeared in the vast ocean. Only a tiny figure is hiding in the air from the storm.
Even with the power of the storm, his magic power was rapidly reduced. It was too terrible. After more than 40 years of magic research, this was the first time he had witnessed such a huge power. Lightning flashed past them. If it weren't for the magic robe on Marton's body, which was a divine object with strong evasion magic, they would have been torn to pieces by the storm or struck by lightning.
But this was just the beginning. Marton felt his consciousness declining. A gust of wind swept past, and the baby in his hands flew out of his hands and was hung in the air by the hurricane. The baby did not cry out, because in the center of the storm, sound was meaningless.
At this moment, the six moons in the sky merged into one, and the sky suddenly became as bright as day. It was as if time and space had stopped, and everything stopped at once. Marton could even see the water droplets around him and the shape of the wind element. In an instant, a bottleneck that had lasted for more than five years was broken. But these were not what he cared about. It was the child, a one-year-old child who was not afraid, not terrified, not crying, but smiling.
That's right, Marton actually heard cheerful laughter. The child was waving at the Shenyue in the sky. His white, tender little hands were grabbing, as if the Shenyue formed by the five stars in a row and the moon was a delicious cake. The hurricane did not tear him apart, but rather a soft rocking bed was gently dragging him.
Suddenly, bolts of lightning from the sky shot towards the baby in the air. The wizard was furious, but he could not move. He could only watch as the lightning struck the little prince.
One, two,...six.
At this moment, the sky suddenly became dark again, and the storm seemed to have never happened. Everything became calm. There were huge waves just now, but now it was as calm as a lake. The baby in the air suddenly lost its support and fell into the sea.
Marton roared, and the elements in his body suddenly exploded. His half-white and half-black hair suddenly turned snow-white. The violent wind element lifted up a baby like an invisible big hand and slowly floated towards the mage.
The wizard slowly held the baby in his arms, determined to keep him alive no matter what. This was the hope of the people of Cagliari!
The moment he touched the baby, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the baby's face, and the tender white little hand gently touched the wizard, and a surging force came over, which was irresistible.
With a loud bang, everything fell into darkness.
Plop, plop, this is the sound of an object falling into the sea, and it seems to be mixed with the laughter of children...
In the 1372nd year of the Gregorian calendar in the Mayan continent, a rare five-star conjunction appeared in the sky, accompanied by rare miracles, but these are not the reasons why people remember it. The opportunity predicted by the great prophet Maya appeared. At the same time, the six major sea tribes simultaneously attacked the kingdom of the continent. The battle was fierce, and the sea people somehow acquired the ability to fight on land for a long time.
The war lasted for eight years and both sides suffered heavy losses. The water tribe had a powerful water magic army and a stable rear. When they had the ability to fight on land, the human side fell into trouble. At the same time, some small races on the continent also rioted, but the water tribe was water tribe after all. Their combat capability and adaptability were still not comparable to humans. In the last two years of the war, humans, under the leadership of the two major kingdoms, the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Cagliari, drove the water tribe back to the sea with a crushing force, but humans were still helpless in the face of the vast ocean.
There is no win-win outcome in war. Both sides suffered heavy losses in the eight-year-long fighting. Peace is followed by war, and war is followed by peace. This is the cycle of life.
In the tenth year of the Divine Moon Calendar, in order to speed up development, the two sides reached a compromise and finally restored peace. It seemed that everything had returned to the peaceful era. All races were recovering from the trauma of war. Humans were undoubtedly the happiest because they once again proved that they were the masters of the continent.
Located at the southern tip of the Mayan continent, it is one of the richest seas. It is the concentration place of the most powerful magicians of the sea clan. It is also the territory of one of the six royal families, the noble mermaids. Every mermaid is a natural water magician and is also synonymous with beauty. They have a lofty status in the aquatic clan, so the waters they own are also the most beautiful and rich.
But there is no absolutely perfect existence. In this beautiful Mermaid Sea, there is a forbidden zone, that is the Bermuda Death Sea. Since the arrival of the God Moon, it has become a forbidden zone for all life. No matter you are an aquatic creature, a human, or any other race, anyone who dares to approach there will never come out. Even if you just get close, you may be sucked into the abyss. Legend has it that the devil who brought the God Moon lives there.
The outskirts of the Bermuda Death Zone are filled with a large number of violent water elements and various water monsters. They cannot be called aquatic creatures because they are creatures without intelligence. Just like humans on land control beasts, aquatic creatures also have water monsters. Of course, some water monsters are too powerful and aquatic creatures are unwilling to provoke them.
Just like what one would imagine, the Death Sea is filled with all kinds of corpses, skeletons, a large number of broken ships, wandering monsters... It is simply a hell for life. It is hard to imagine what creatures except water monsters can survive in such a harsh environment, and water elements explode from time to time.
Although aquatic creatures are naturally friendly to the water element and have particularly high defenses, everything is relative. Aquatic creatures are most afraid of being harmed by the water element. Once harmed, it is difficult to heal. This is why aquatic creatures fear the Bermuda Death Zone.
"Stop, damn it, stop, leave one leg and go!"
The originally dead silent Bermuda Death Zone suddenly had a bit of life, but this bit of life was unimaginably weird... How could human voices be heard in such a place?
Suddenly, there was a surge of water, and a giant octopus with eight tentacles was running desperately. Its huge eyeballs were full of grievances, and it looked back worriedly from time to time. Behind it, there was a man who looked like a child of eight or nine years old, chasing it desperately with a broken knife and yelling non-stop.
"Don't run away, your claws. It's useless. Even if the monk runs away, the temple cannot be escaped. The old man wants to eat grilled octopus legs today. There's nothing I can do about it!"
If any aquatic creatures saw such a scene, they would definitely faint from fright. This giant octopus monster is a representative of the Oken clan, which are difficult to deal with among the aquatic monsters. Not only does it have its own strength, but it also understands water magic, and in particular can release large-scale paralyzing and concealing poisonous fog. It can be said to be one of the monsters roaming the seabed. Only the sea dragon clan can overwhelm them with their own advantages, and even the giant whale clan cannot do it.
Ahem, but the Oken monster in front of him only knew how to run desperately, without any intention of fighting back. Even so, the Oken's advancing speed was famously fast, and not many races could catch up with them.
But in this sea, any living thing is abnormal. The kid holding a broken machete he picked up from somewhere not only did not speed up but stopped, shaking his head helplessly and said, "Alas, you are so disobedient. Although you deserve praise for fighting again and again after repeated failures, the old man is on the verge of losing his temper and has no time to play with you!"
Suddenly it posed and moved quickly, like a sharp sword in the water, instantly surpassing the Oken water monster that was blocking its way. The water monster was obviously prepared, and when it was about to knock the child away, it stopped obediently, stretched out a claw, and then covered its eyes with the remaining seven claws.
"Hey, Claw, you are ten years old, why are you so timid? Besides, your claws will grow back in a day, and we can't eat much of them!"
The head of one of the tentacle of the giant water monster of the Oken clan was as big as half a child. It took a lot of effort to cut off a piece... The process was really horrible for Oken's claws.
The child was finally happy while holding the octopus leg that was as tall as him. "Hehe, thank you, claws. I'll treat you to fish next time. Alas, why did you run away again? You are such a coward."
After saying that, he swam towards an abandoned cabin with the octopus legs on his back.
When they were about five or six meters away from the cabin, the water seemed to be isolated, but the little boy was used to it. He landed on the ground and walked in slowly, carrying the octopus legs on his back.
"Hey, old man, I'm back. Let's eat grilled octopus legs today."
"Caesar, I've told you a thousand times to pay attention to etiquette, etiquette!" The old man was the great magician Marton of mankind. Although ten years had passed, the great magician had not changed much except for his silver hair.
People who originally possess power have a long life.
"Oh, yes, yes, stop chanting. Why should poor people like us do rituals? That's for the nobles. We can't even be commoners. Come on, let's have some barbecue!"
Marton had no way to deal with the little prince in front of him. When he woke up, he thought he was in hell, surrounded by all kinds of sirens and water monsters. Not to mention that his magic power was overdrawn, even in his prime he could not defeat so many super-class water monsters, including those that he could not even think about. But the strange thing was that these violent sirens, which were similar to land beasts, did not have the intention of the water monsters to attack them. Marton also found that except for his own magic power overdrawn, his mental strength had made great progress. He had entered the realm of a wizard that he had never dared to think of before. You know, there are only three wizards in the entire continent. They are existences beyond the Magic Guild. To become a wizard, one must be at least eighty years old, and that is with good talent and hard work.
He was only sixty years old, which was definitely a miracle, but compared with the little prince, his so-called miracle was nothing. The reason why those sea monsters did not attack them was not because the sea monsters here were kind. As soon as the prince disappeared, these violent guys immediately turned into devils from hell. In the past ten years, he had seen too many strong people die in this sea.
There are conquests from the mermaid royal family and resistance from the human world, but here where the super-class sirens gather, all resistance is futile. Marton doesn't know why they are here, but all these unusual things just exist.
It is impossible for humans to exist under the sea. This is the consensus of all races. Even Marton, who has become a wizard, cannot survive. He can only rely on a powerful wind-separated barrier to survive for a few hours, from more than ten minutes before to more than ten hours now. However, this is probably an incredible miracle in the eyes of outsiders, and he has a deeper understanding of water magic.
Relying on a sunken ship with a defensive magic circle, Marton created this house for survival on the seabed.
But Prince Caesar, although he is an absolute human, can live freely in the water and move faster in the water than super-class water monsters. He can also survive in his water-dividing barrier. But the biggest problem, which is also a headache for Marton, is Caesar's magical ability. It is really... He can only learn the lowest-level water ball, wind blade, and fireball magic. If it is a little more difficult, there is no hope. After a long time, the magician was speechless. But Caesar didn't care about this at all. He only thought that he was just an orphan of the water tribe and as long as he lived happily, it would be fine.
It may be that the sirens also knew about Caesar's relationship with him, and over time, they became friendly to him. Marton also went to the outside of the Bermuda Sea to gather some news from time to time, but the news was not very good.
Ten years later, everything finally returned to normal, but Cagliari already had a new heir, and the prince did not have that strength yet. In fact, deep in Marton's heart, he had firmly believed that everything about the prince was determined by God, and he must be the son of God. God made the prince fall into the sea, so there must be a deeper arrangement, just as the prophecy said.
Let everything take its course. As a court magician, what Marton has to do is to assist the prince. When the prince comes of age, he will tell him the truth. The prince can then make his own judgment on what to do.
"Hey, hey, old man, you are in a daze again, hurry up and grill. I found that you seem to be the only one among the underwater people who can play with fire. Tsk tsk, they really don't have a good time."
Caesar has already started drooling over the octopus legs. He is probably the only one who can grill high-level siren legs on the seabed.
"Haha, really? You want to eat it? Take it out. I have a very sensitive nose!" Marton sniffed and said with a smile.
Seeing the mage's lecherous eyes, Caesar reluctantly took out the wine in his arms, "Ahem, old man, let's agree in advance that we'll each have half. I saved up the money to buy this after working for half a month."
Since Caesar could freely enter and exit the Bermuda Death Zone, and the war was over, Marton also let Caesar go out and contact the sea people. Of course, he had to be slightly modified. After all, there is an essential difference between sea people and humans. Although among sea people, the ones that are closer to humans in appearance are more advanced races, such as mermaids and dragon people, but it would be very abnormal if they looked exactly like humans. For example, mermaids have hair the color of the sea, and they have fish tails that can freely change their legs, while sea dragons have dragon horns on their heads.
Although Caesar possesses some strange abilities, it would be very scary if his identity is exposed. The hostility between the sea people and humans cannot be resolved in a short time, and perhaps it will never be resolved.
This certainly did not pose a problem for Marton, who had become a magician. Almost every magician was a competent alchemist. An exquisite Sheou headgear, plus a little low-level camouflage magic, would be impossible for the aquatic creatures who were not familiar with this kind of spiritual magic to see through.
Caesar's adaptability was stronger than expected. He quickly infiltrated the sea tribe and found a part-time job in a tavern. At the same time, he also realized the quality of the sea tribe's wine.
The old and the young were happily eating barbecue, but from that moment on, their true fate was about to begin...
