Chapter 117: Chapter 90: Report a Number, I Compensate (Seeking Recommendation Votes)

“Is this your attitude, Sigurian?”

The woman’s name was Kristin, a warrior under the Duke of Immortal Hawk, one of The Three Dukes of Azure. She served in the Skyriding Group’s Fourth Legion as the deputy commander.

“Attitude…”

Before anyone knew it, fog had shrouded the coastline, and from within the fog, a deep voice resonated, “I’d like to askyou, is this your attitude?!” Kristin showed no reaction, and the dozen or so Sky Cavalry Commanders beside her remained impassive, but some of the newer Eagle Strikers appeared visibly uneasy.

They looked towards the seemingly endless emerging Sea Monsters in the mist, although most of them did not possess Miracle Power.

But such figures, combined with the atmosphere at that moment, were genuinely eerie and strange.

“There’s no need to panic.”

Kristin said calmly, “A mere Sigurian wouldn’t have the courage to make an

enemy of Azure.”

“A mere one, without the courage?”

A large ship with black sails appeared from the mist, then crashed straight onto the beach, and without a moment’s pause, continued until it reached right before Kristin and barely stopped.

“Your general sure is becoming more and more dismissive.

At the bow, a burly man nearly two meters tall looked down at the woman below. He leapt down, landing squarely in the midst of the surrounding Eagle Strikers and Sky Cavalry Commanders.

“To think you only sent a squadron leader to deal with this negotiation, and only a deputy at that!”

At the word ‘deputy’, Kristin’s face turned sour, and her grip on her Cavalry

Spear tightened.

“Wow, wow.”

Contrary to his rugged appearance, Sigurian was very astute. With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he said, “Are you angry? Is it because of these insignificant mortals? Or is it because of the word ‘deputy’ I just mentioned?

“Huff!”

Almost the instant Sigurian finished speaking, the Cavalry Spear swept across but was blocked by Sigurian with one hand.

“Boom!!!”

The terrifying power of the Miracle collided on the beach, the shocking blast of wind cleared the surrounding ruins, and some of the weaker Eagle Strikers and oddities were forced to take several steps back.

“You, you’ve come?”

Letting go of the Cavalry Spear in his hand, he had no intention of fighting

Kristin, and she felt the same.

Azure didn’t want to come into direct conflict with Morgan, and if Kristin were to truly fight Sigurian, it would be Azure declaring war on Morgan, a responsibility far beyond what Kristin, a mere deputy commander of a Skyriding Squadron, could bear.

“No wonder.”

Sigurian said as he leaned back, and immediately, gravel surged beneath him, countless grey-white stone crabs burst forth from the beach. They formed into a throne, sturdily catching Sigurian as he fell back.

“Click, click-click.”

A stone crab carried a Silver Disc, atop which lay fresh stone crab larvae.

“But still, not enough.”

Sigurian picked up a stone crab larva and tossed it into his mouth, crunching it loudly while still taking the chance to comment on Kristin’s strength, “To fight me, you’ll need another ten years of training.”

Kristin had only been the Child of Miracle for a mere twenty years.

Reaching her current level in just twenty years, she indeed could be called a genius.

But Sigurian was over seventy years old, meaning he had much more time to gain significantly greater experience than Kristin.

If the strength of the two were considered to be at the same height, then Kristin had just entered that level, whereas Sigurian had long reached the summit.

“Would you like one? They’re quite delicious.”

Sigurian’s offer was, of course, immediately declined by Kristin. He asked in confusion, “What’s the matter? Do we have an unpleasant past? Or is it because of the ‘deputy1 word I mentioned just now?”

“You send such a small number of people to interfere with our negotiations over the Cross Strait, did I say anything?”

“Oh, I see.”

Sigurian looked around, seemingly coming to an understanding, “You’re getting angry over these mortals, haha, you’re really quite amusing, Kristin. How many years has it been since you became a Miracle Citizen, and yet you still harbor such an attitude?”

“They’re just a bunch of mortals. In a decade or two, they’ll breed a whole new batch.”

“There’s so much food in the sea, just give them some, build a few islands, and provide some fertility support,” Sigurian said, “Wouldn’t that make as many as you want?”

Population is just a number!

People, what is that?

Sigurian only knew of a type of livestock called ‘mortals,’ and he didn’t see why these trash that couldn’t even adapt to Miracle Power deserved Kristin’s anger.

“I raided a batch of slaves that were being sent to Brilliant Sapphire Island in the Eastern Sea last time. If you like, name a number, and I will compensate.”

II II

Throughout, Kristin maintained her silence.

Such an attitude in negotiation truly embarrassed the people of Azure.

But Kristin had no choice, after all, her commander was a do-nothing lazybones who only knew how to dump everything on her.

“It’s not about the number of people, it’s about…”

“Commander.”

At this moment, a young girl approached Kristin and said, “A total of 127 people.”

“See, Little Sister Shan Hu is the one who gets things done.”

Amidst Sigurian’s laughter, Kristin turned to look at the woman known as ‘Coral,’ the defense officer of Coral City, a powerful Sky Cavalry Commander.

Coral’s strength was not as great as Kristin’s, simply because she was young and Miracle Power needed time to be elevated.

In terms of pure talent, Coral was no less than Kristin.

“They are my citizens of Azure.”

“Oh?”

Sigurian looked at Coral, countering, “Do you of Azure regard them as citizens?”

“No.”

Coral shook her head, very decisively stating, “If they can’t even adapt to the Master’s Miracle Power, like you said, they are livestock, not worthy of being called human.”

“Look at that! Look at that!”

“This is the attitude we should have!”

The words of Sigurian were not merely his own views, but the truth of this world, a fact recognized by all Masters of Miracles and their citizens.

If not a Child of Miracle, it’s like being separated by a wall, and being unable to adapt to Miracle Power, that’s even more like another life form, a different species!

just like Coral and Kristin, they are Children of a Master of Miracles, belonging to one family.

Although Sigurian was one of Morgan’s, he had after all stepped into the Domain of Miracle.

Whether enemy or friend, he was, at least, an owner of Miracle Power at the same level as them.

This was also the only reason for Coral’s polite demeanor toward Sigurian. Sigurian was a person of strength, and in this great sea, as in this world, those who are strong should be respected.

Even if Coral herself did not like Sigurian, even detesting him greatly, she still had to maintain the proper outward attitude.
