Chapter 41: Miracle Race

Chapter 41: Miracle Race

Thanks, Lilith.

Bai Luo looked at the three pirates and asked,

How many pirates live on this island?

There are three thousand, more than three thousand.

The pirates were in a trance, dazedly spilling all of their secrets.

In order to determine the reliability of this information, Bai Luo asked the other pirates and got a similar answer.

More than 3,000?

Hearing this number, Bai Luo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Pirates are not enough to fear. They can kill 1200 today, and its not difficult to kill another 1800 tomorrow.

The strength of Shirley and Lilith is too terrifying. Once they strike, let alone one or two thousand, even a tens of thousands elite soldiers army will be decimated with enough time.

However, these pirates told Bai Luo some bad news.nove(l)bi(n.)com

What do you think, uncle?

Pirate King Morgan

These pirates were not simply scattered mobs, they are organized and affiliated with a great pirate called Morgan.

The legend of Morgan has a history of at least 150 years on the sea.

The old man seriously said, Rumor has it that he rules the largest pirate group in the Eastern Sea, the Black Rangers.

The power of miracles is very rare on the great sea. Only the Azure Duchy and a few pirate kings have it. Moreover, because of their varying abilities, its often called the power of gods rather than simply miracles.

This itself is also a common tactic used by the land miracle masters to fool the common people.

150 years?

Bai Luo inquired,

Descendants? Or family inheritance?

In Bai Luos opinion, humans cant live that long, so Is Morgan a nickname? Or a family passed title?

His Majesty the Pirate King has the power of God. He lived for two hundred years. He has eternal life. His Majesty will surely know that you attacked this place. When the time comes, he will send troops to take revenge.

As he heard the pirate dazedly spew these words, Bai Luo frowned slightly,

If he wants to come, then come! Im not afraid of him.

Bai Luo isnt afraid of an opponent like the pirate king, nor are the Ardennes.

The only problem was that the pirates description of Morgan was too bizarre, making Bai Luo secretly vigilant.

Eternal youth, is it true or false? Maybe a fraud?

Bai Luo noticed that these pirates seemed doubtful of this legend themselves. After all, its just a legend, and these pirates hadnt seen Morgan themselves.

200 years Can people really live that long?

However, upon thinking of the magic of miracles, Bai Luo decided that its better to adjust his cognition,

Are there miracles that can grant people immortality in this world?

There are.

Uncle Saros nodded and said,

The Marquise of Everspring in the Iron Eagle Kingdom has such a miracle.

The old man seemed nostalgic upon mentioning this person, but he didnt say any further.

Bai Luo:

Well, hearing that even miracles that can grant immortality exist, what else can Bai Luo say? Miracles are indeed awesome.

In addition, miracle creatures are closely related to miracle masters, hence they can make them immortal.

Haa?

Bai Luo immediately thought of Shirley and Lilith. He pointed at himself with wide eyes, and the old man nodded in affirmation.

However, this only applies to the miracle master. To Bai Luo, if he loses his family and lives alone, then immortality is meaningless.

Hence the old man told Bai Luo that the power of miracles can increase the lifespan of human beings. However, it would be better to find miracles related to life, such as the fountain of youth of the Marquise of Everspring, which can directly grant eternal life to mortals.

The miracle of immortality

Bai Luo secretly vowed to find it. It wasnt just for him, but also for his elder sister, the old man, and the others.

He didnt know about it before, hence it didnt cross his mind, but now that knew, he must find it no matter what.

However, its pointless to talk about this now.

Their attention should be on the pirate king Morgan for now.

How many men does Morgan have?

Regarding this issue, these pirates are actually not clear. They were asked to stay and keep watch on this island. Obviously, they are unqualified ordinary pirates, mere cannon fodder.

How could they know such a confidential matter?

As for whether Morgan is a miracle master, and what his divine power is, these pirates were completely clueless.

In the end, Bai Luo stopped inquiring about these things,

What do you use this island for?

We use it as a transit station.

To Store treasures?

To supply materials.

Hearing the cute chattering and laughter echoing in his ears, Bai Luo felt that they shouldnt say that.

They should be more humble. Although its all true, its not very good to say it so loudly.

Now, let me see what this fourth miracle is.

Bai Luo sank to the depths of his soul. The black book appeared, then flipped page by page, stopping on the originally blank fourth page.

[They are pure, they are simple, they are kind. They never crave the flesh and blood of living beings]

[Yet they were betrayed and coveted]

[Is the extra 666 years of heartbeats a blessing or a curse?]

[They have lost their king and home. O merciful Lord, please let them travel through the forests and become the dreamy creatures of stories and legends once again, to be asked questions about their ears.]

[Time remaining: 364 days and 23 hours]

[Direction: 60 southeast]

Thats long!!

Bai Luo secretly complained, it was the first time he encountered such a long riddle,

No, its more than just a riddle, it feels like its telling me a story.

However, theres so much information that I dont know where to start from.

[They are pure, they are simple, they are kind. They never crave the flesh and blood of living beings]

First of all, the first sentence: Pure, simple, and kind. They dont eat the flesh and blood of living beings.

In simple terms, this should be a description of the characteristics of the new miracle.

Oh, and theres another very important piece of information in the riddle: They.

The black book used they!

Could it be a miracle race?

Bai Luo suddenly thought of the eighty humanoids on the island that even the pirates didnt know about,

Is it them?

Since they dont crave flesh and blood, then they must be vegetarian.

The second half of the first sentence is long but very simple, it means theyre vegetarian.

Bai Luo rode on Shirleys back and flew towards the position indicated by the black book.

However, this time, they dont even need the black book, Shirley can feel it herself,

Shirley, take me to the life fluctuation you discovered before.

Okay, master!

Shirley flew straight towards the humanoids. It was just like turning on autopilot, hence Bai Luo could continue to think about the riddles of the black book.

[Yet they were betrayed and coveted]

This sentence should be indicating their condition, Bai Luo said,

It seems that they are in a miserable situation.

Thats right, a measly 80 members of the Miracle Race left. Their state is even worse than the Ardennes.

[Is the extra 666 years of heartbeats a blessing or a curse?]

I dont understand at all, what does this sentence mean?

Bai Luo found himself in a difficult spot. After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldnt figure out the meaning of the third sentence.

Some kind of ability? Or is it literally a curse?

666 years of heartbeats.

Bai Luo pondered for a moment, then muttered,

My teacher taught us that if we encounter problems that we cannot solve, we can skip them, and then come back to find a solution after finishing the ones we could solve.

Hence, Bai Luo decisively skipped to the last sentence.

[They have lost their king and home. O merciful Lord, please let them travel through the forests and become the dreamy creatures of stories and legends once again, to be asked questions about their ears.]

This sentence has a lot of information.

Losing their king and home. This sentence should be reminding me to give them both of these things.

Give them a king and give them a home.

Good point!

Its so easy!

As long as they lower their heads and bow, let alone a home, Bai Luo can give them a hundred.

The most troublesome outcome would be that that isnt the literal meaning, but something more sentimental or spiritual.

For example, to get their recognition, or to give them the warmth of home,

Traveling through the forest again. This should be a reference to their attribute. They are a miracle race with a natural inclination to forests.

The dreamy creatures of stories and legends Is it a well-known fantasy species?

Ask questions about their ears

Bai Luo pondered for a moment before murmuring,

This sounds a little familiar.

The forest attribute, a frequent presence in fantasy stories, and they are always asked why their ears are pointy

Bai Luo clasped his hands thoughtfully,

If I had to guess, it should be that species
