Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 622 - 316: Encountering the Fisherman Again (2)

On the walls of the palace, densely engraved with alchemical seal patterns, the entire palace gave Fang Yu a deeply spiritual feeling.

Just like the extraordinary transformation of a sea ship, it seemed that this palace had also undergone an extraordinary transformation.

It was likely that if something urgent were to happen, this palace would turn into a terrifying weapon, awakening, and attacking everything.

Fang Yu felt a chill in his heart, but he didn’t linger long at the entrance.

He stepped forward, intending to enter the palace.

At this moment, two silhouettes appeared silently in front of him: "The area ahead is a national conference site, idle people keep away!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu directed his gaze toward the person speaking in front of him.

He saw that these two were well-built, emanating a strong wave of power level from within.

Yet, it was clear that these two were not from the sea ship system but pursued spiritual energy cultivation. It was unclear whether they were spiritualists inherited from ancient times or experts specially cultivated by the congress.

On the ocean, the combat power of spiritual energy cultivators completely could not compare to the sea ship system.

But on land, the navigators of the sea ship system were slightly inferior to the practitioners of the spiritual energy system.

Looking at the two men before him dressed as personal guards, Fang Yu couldn’t help but smile and spoke loudly: "I am Fang Yu, seeking an audience with the Sovereign, please inform him."

"Previously, the Sovereign made a seven-day promise with me, I presume you both have heard of it."

"Now that the seven days are nearly up, if the Sovereign doesn’t summon me, I’m afraid the seven-day promise will be violated."

Fang Yu’s voice was not small, and it quickly attracted the attention of surrounding pedestrians and passing Blue Star Captains.

From the crowd, some gazes were occasionally cast onto Fang Yu, extremely concealed, yet still caught by Fang Yu.

However, Fang Yu did not pay much attention; his purpose for this trip was to act ostentatiously to draw people’s attention, which aligned perfectly with his goal for this trip.

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the two personal guards were slightly surprised, scrutinizing Fang Yu up and down: "You are Fang Yu?"

"Yes!"

Fang Yu smiled.

"If that’s the case, wait here for a moment, I’ll inform the Sovereign."

One of them glanced around at the movement, the curious citizens and Blue Star Captains gathering, frowning slightly, then spoke to Fang Yu.

"Alright!"

Fang Yu nodded, not in a hurry, and stood leisurely outside, seeing off the personal guard who turned and returned to the congress palace.

...

This wait lasted a full half an hour.

The crowd watching grew impatient, some gradually dispersed.

Yet, there were still some with special statuses who occasionally glanced in Fang Yu’s direction, their eyes flickering, their thoughts unknown.

Fang Yu was not in a hurry; he sensed that attention was still on him and stood at ease, awaiting a response.

After a while, a figure descended—it was the one who had gone to relay the message.

He looked at Fang Yu and then shook his head: "Sorry, Captain Fang Yu, the country is currently in turmoil with endless affairs, the Sovereign is occupied with state business and has no time to see you now."

"When the Sovereign has time, he will naturally summon you."

The man spoke softly, casting a glance around, his eyes containing a hidden warning.

"Alright..." Fang Yu appeared troubled: "But... the seven-day agreement with the Sovereign is about to be overdue, if it’s overdue, what if the Sovereign blames it?"

"Don’t worry about that!"

The man’s eyes were bright, looking at Fang Yu with a gaze full of meaning, then shook his head: "The Sovereign is aware of your difficulties. He specifically asked me to tell you that even if the seven-day agreement is overdue, the Sovereign will not blame you, as long as Captain Fang Yu can bring back the truth the Sovereign desires."

"No problem, no problem!"

Fang Yu grinned, his eyes shifting as he stretched his neck, glancing intermittently at the congress.

He dawdled, unwilling to leave.

Seeing Fang Yu’s appearance, the two personal guards frowned, immediately stepping in front of Fang Yu, speaking calmly: "Captain Fang Yu, please leave, the congress site is off-limits without permission!"

"Alright then..."

Fang Yu smacked his lips, seemingly disappointed; with those words, he left without lingering.

Watching Fang Yu’s departing figure, the two personal guards did not lower their guard until Fang Yu’s figure completely disappeared from view, only then did they breathe a slight sigh of relief and return to the congress palace.

Meanwhile, those who had witnessed everything wore expressions of contemplation, while others were eager to turn and leave, seemingly wanting to report to someone.

Among them were Blue Star Navigator-looking individuals whose eyes grew vacant, as if they had entered a forum, though it was unclear who they were privately messaging.

Fang Yu did not pay attention to this, but inside, he could guess.

However, Fang Yu did not dwell on them; he walked the streets of Lanyun’s capital with a calm demeanor, although internally, his thoughts began to churn.

The Sovereign refused to see him.

Even though Fang Yu had somewhat expected this, seeing it actually happen, his heart still sunk.

The Sovereign was surely preparing something.

But firstly, Fang Yu was an outsider, and Lanyun Sea Country to Fang Yu was akin to being away, a place very unfamiliar to him.

Secondly, the Sovereign held immense power, his realm level far surpassing Fang Yu’s.

If the Sovereign wanted to act, he could do so with ease.

And Fang Yu could only passive wait for the Sovereign’s move.

Rather than passively waiting, it’s better to take action.

Fang Yu thought silently and then changed direction, quickly heading to another place.

But as he walked...

The streets on both sides suddenly grew sparse with people, though it was bustling with chatter, it gradually quieted down.

This was the center of the capital city, so the sudden quietness would have alerted Fang Yu.

But as Fang Yu pondered over matters of Lanyun Sea Country,

The situation arose so smoothly, bit by bit, like slowly cooking a frog in warm water, slowly dragging Fang Yu into this world.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Fang Yu sensed something, snapping back to awareness, looking around warily.

When he saw everything around him clearly, Fang Yu’s pupils contracted sharply, his body tensed, his power level instinctively ready to be released.

Because at this moment, there was no bustle around, no longer in the capital of Lanyun.

Instead, in front of Fang Yu was a lake, and on one side of the lake, a figure was sitting quietly on a wooden chair, calmly gazing at Fang Yu.

"You can perceive the change around without me enlightening you, that’s not simple."

The person stood up, clad in a raincoat, wearing a fisherman’s hat, his face full of wrinkles, skin weathered and dark, his figure extremely thin.

Seeing this person, Fang Yu was initially surprised but quickly calmed down: "Why did you come to find me now?"

"Hmm?"

The man looked at Fang Yu, a slight glimmer passing through his expressionless eyes: "You knew I would come to find you in the future?"

"Heh..."

Fang Yu laughed, shrugging: "Alright, I know very well what you’re planning, no need for pretense."

This person was the Fisherman who had previously saved Fang Yu from the hands of the alchemical leader.

Seeing that the Fisherman had come looking for him on his own, Fang Yu couldn’t help but be very surprised.

What’s going on?

Why did the Fisherman come to him now?

He should have waited for my sea ship to grow, to the point it could bear his power, then come for him.

Why...

"I came this time to tell you something..."

At this moment, the Fisherman’s voice quietly sounded.
