Chapter 251: Chapter 148: Morgan’s Underperformance, Blame It Right Away (Vote for Recommendation)_2

“So what do you two mean?”

“No meaning at all.”

“I don’t have a meaning either.”

“What does ‘no meaning’ mean?”

Micia: “Spit it out! Stop beating around the bush and talking in riddles!”

“If the newcomer chose to kill Sigurian, that would mean going to war with Morgan, and being neighbors, from the same region, we would definitely have to step in and mediate.”

“By then, we’d use each other, overtly and covertly, to weaken Morgan together.”

“Then, we would, as you said, Micia, form an alliance.”

Duke Yangbo: “Even if we can’t match the Iron Eagle Mountains, we should at least be able to stand on equal footing with Brilliant.”

“The reason the surrounding Pirate Kings don’t fear us isn’t because they’ve formed an axis from the east, west, and south, daring to confront us?”

Four Masters of Miracles and three Masters of Miracles are ultimately different, there’s too much that can be done.

Add to that the weakening of Morgan, would the other two Pirate Kings dare to act recklessly again?

“But now, the newcomer has chosen to capture Sigurian, which clearly indicates a desire to negotiate with Morgan.”

Duke Yangbo: “If they form an alliance, say a century-long pact, I fear a new Pirate King might emerge on these seas.”

“So what do we do?”

Starting a war is definitely not an option. Azure’s ability to establish itself on the high seas and enjoy such expansive maritime territory essentially lies in its status as a permanently neutral trading nation.

If we strike first, before we even take down Yatun, we’d likely become a thorn in the side of other nations.

So Azure has it tough too, treading on thin ice.

This is also why she desperately wants to become a kingdom.

Only by becoming a kingdom does Azure have the confidence to stand up to other nations, declaring sovereignty and claiming these seas as her own.

“Have you noticed something strange?”

Though Archduke Shenniang is overweight, it doesn’t mean he is dumb. To survive on Miracle Mainland for two thousand years, he certainly couldn’t be useless.

“Ah, indeed.”

Duke Yangbo noticed it too, and finally Micia found it odd: “Now that you mention it, I also realized, this newcomer seems to know us very well.”

“No, not very well, but too well.”

“That’s not right.”

Micia said: “If the newcomer just found a Miracle and became a Master of Miracles, a newbie who’s just arrived shouldn’t be so familiar with the rules of Miracle Mainland, should they?”

Even they had made many mistakes back in the day, stumbling until they finally found their footing.

No one’s youth is free from folly.

Suddenly empowered, Micia once thought herself invincible.

But this part, Micia’s dark history, she now fears anyone bringing it up, it’s truly too embarrassing.

“It’s not just familiarity with the rules of Miracle Mainland.”

“This person is also very familiar with us,” Archduke Shenniang: “It’s as if he’s dealt with us before.”

While it’s not very obvious, there certainly is such a possibility.

“Could it be that behind this newcomer, there’s a Master of Miracles supporting him?”

“It’s a possibility.”

Archduke Shenniang: “Or perhaps he has someone by his side who’s very familiar with Miracles.”

“But it doesn’t make sense.”

Micia: “Those familiar with Miracles must be Miracle Citizens!”

“Is there anyone in this world who is familiar with Miracles but not aligned with any faction?”

Having said this, Micia herself was stunned first.

“Uh…”

Micia realized that indeed someone had popped into her mind, and it was somebody very familiar.

“You had a good relationship with him back in the day, didn’t you?”

“I did receive his help.”

Micia said: “Several legends under my command managed to make breakthroughs thanks to his guidance.”

“But how could it be him?”

Micia: “When the Holy invited him, he refused.”

“But he fits the description, doesn’t he?”

“And I’ve heard that rumor too,” Duke Yangbo said, “The Iron Eagle King has been looking for him and even issued a nationwide manhunt.”

“Hehe.”

Micia said, “To issue a manhunt without even being sure he’s in the Iron Eagle territory is just ridiculous.”

“That’s why I told him not to return to the mainland. Isn’t it better for him to stay by my side?”

“Among my subordinates, there are so many beauties,” Micia said, “If it really comes to that…”

If it really comes to that, she would do it too!

“Stop joking around,” Duke Yangbo said, “He’s completely smitten with the Marquis of Clearspring. Do you think he’d be interested in you?”

“What do you mean! What are you implying! Am I not beautiful?!”

“Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, you’re the most beautiful.”

But that’s in the eyes of outsiders. In front of Yangbo and Shen Niang, she’s just a crazy woman.

She’s too fierce, not gentle at all.

In summary, Saros made the right choice back then.

‘He really is that man, gifted with foresight…’

“Ahem.”

Duke Yangbo said, “If the newcomer really has Saros behind him, then according to his habits, he will surely send an envoy.”

“The two of you.”

Duke Yangbo said, “No matter which side the envoy reaches, we must treat him with courtesy.”

Saros may not have Miracle Power, but his talent is too peculiar.

Sometimes, it’s not even slightly inferior to the miracles themselves.

If the Azure realm could get Saros to provide strategies and counsel,

they might…

No, they would definitely be able to escape their current predicament!

“Boom!”

A giant turtle carrying an island on its back slowly moved across the sea, and on its back was a huge city, which was indeed the capital of Morgan.

“Sig, he’s still alive.”

This piece of news was the only thing worth celebrating for Morgan: “That’s good, that’s really good.”

Morgan was not old.

On the contrary, judging by his appearance, he was a refined man in his 30s.

But those melancholic eyes seemed as though he had seen through the vicissitudes and desolation of the world.

Only a man who has experienced pain and loss would have such eyes.

“Father.”

A seductive woman by Morgan’s side, twisting her body as she approached, said, “Since little brother Sig is alive, then, what should we do? Should we take action?”

“Stop it.”

Morgan said, “We have no clear understanding of the situation on the other side. Acting rashly could put Sig in great danger.”

“Moreover, since they have only captured Sig, it means they want to make a deal with me,” Morgan said, “I’ve done all sorts of trade over two hundred years. I’ll compromise, so long as he’s safe, that’s all that matters.”

Morgan knew not all of his children got along well with each other.

For example, the woman before him, the Scorpion Queen Katerina, and another child, the Blood Demon Brad.

The Deep Sea King, Sea Dragon Princess, Conch Princess, Blood Demon, Scorpion Queen, and Sigurian were Morgan’s six adopted children.

But the Deep Sea King was much older and did not fit in with the others.

The Sea Dragon Princess, Conch Princess, and Sigurian were close; the Blood Demon was aligned with the Scorpion Queen. They had some internal conflicts, but these were mostly trivial quarrels.

But could they take Sig’s situation as a joke, as something to gamble with?

“I’m sorry, Father. I was wrong.”

The Scorpion Queen chose to bow her head; her loyalty to Morgan was pure, but she was not dazzling enough to be Morgan’s most cherished.

So to earn Morgan’s love, she was willing to do anything.

“Leave this matter to your elder sister, the Sea Dragon Princess,” Morgan said as he began to send the message through Miracle Power to the distance: “My daughter, search that sea area. Whether you find him or not, do not act recklessly.”

“Just bring Little Sig back, and you can name your reward—land, wealth, resources, anything.”

Just as the old uncle predicted, Morgan cared about his family.

Capturing Sigurian was like seizing a vital weakness of his, leveraging it so that as long as they didn’t push Morgan too far and make him desperate, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
