Caesar, who was wearing a windbreaker and carrying the Sword of the King, walked into the island with Lache Lu and Bale.
The wide town, the roads extending in all directions, and the houses standing all around proved the prosperity of this place.
However, these houses were very dilapidated, and there was dust everywhere along the way.
It could be seen that no one had been active here for a long time.
However, the strange thing was that through the glass, Caesar and the other two could see that there were indeed traces of life in the house.
There was unfinished food and even half-burned candles.
It was as if the people here had suddenly disappeared.
No matter how one looked at it, it felt very strange.
"Lord Caesar!"
Bale, who was walking behind Caesar, suddenly saw a black shadow flash past at the end of the street and could not help but exclaim.
Bale's exclamation made Caesar and Lache Lu look over immediately.
Lache Lu took out his small musket and held it in his hand. Caesar pulled out the Sword of the King.
The two of them walked in front of Bale to the end of the street.
If nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be an accident.
The small town was already filled with eerie and strange things. Many shadows appeared in these empty houses.
Caesar and the other two standing on the street were shocked when they saw the figures that suddenly appeared from the houses.
"No matter what it is, kill it first.”
Caesar said with an ugly expression.
He wasn't afraid of ghosts, but these hidden things made him uncomfortable.
No matter what was playing tricks, he had to kill it first.
Be it a human or a ghost!
He would know what was on the other side if he killed it first.
Lightning filled the Sword of the King, and Caesar raised his sword.
The lightning in the sky was guided by the Sword of the King, and countless bolts of lightning gathered and descended.
The lightning illuminated the dark street.
"No!
I beg you! No!"
Just as Caesar was about to raze all the houses in this area, a little old man suddenly ran out of the house and shouted loudly.
The little old man ran in front of Caesar and the other two and knelt on the ground.
"Who are you? What's inside?"
Lache Lu said as he bit the drumstick and raised his blaster against the little old man's forehead.
"Aren't you from Beihai? This is Lorenz Island."
The little old man did not answer Lache Lu's question. Instead, he looked strangely at the three strangers in front of him.
His words confused Caesar and the other two. Did the abnormality of this island have anything to do with whether they were from the North Sea or not?
Caesar did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the little old man coldly, waiting for him to give him an explanation.
What he wanted was an explanation, not this little old man's nonsense.
"This is Lorenz Island, and the people inside are all residents of this place.
The reason why they did this was because this month was the North Sea Demon Hunt.
If it appeared on the streets, it would be eaten by the tentacles of the North Sea Monster.
So every year, we would hide in our rooms and wait for the month to pass.”
The little old man seemed to have sensed Caesar's killing intent and hurriedly said to Caesar.
The doors of the houses on the street were also opened. The sallow-faced residents stood at the door and looked at Caesar and the others.
"The North Sea Demon? Didn't you find the navy?"
Lache Lu scratched his head and asked curiously.
There was a huge difference between people in the world of pirates. The powerful ones could overturn rivers and seas, while the weak ones might not even be able to defeat wild beasts.
Not everyone could kill a Sea King with their bare hands.
Most of them were actually ordinary people.
Not all islands were very powerful. For example, Lorenz Island was just a rural place in the countryside.
"It's useless even if the navy comes.
The navy's warships could not get close to this place at all. Once they got close, they would be attacked by the North Sea Demons.
It has been a long time since outsiders have come here.”
As the little old man spoke, he looked at Caesar and the other two with a strange gaze.
This place was known as the cursed island of the North Sea. The people of the North Sea never came here.
Caesar and the others were the only foreigners who had come here in the past decade.
After hearing the little old man's words, the expressions of Caesar and the other two became a little strange.
They were not from the North Sea, so they picked the nearest island on the sea map.
He didn't expect that this island that he had randomly picked would look like this.
"The North Sea Demon?
Do you know what he looks like?
Have you ever thought of resisting?"
Caesar thought for a moment and said. He felt that he had heard this name somewhere before.
It seemed, maybe, probably.
This so-called North Sea Demon should be a giant octopus, right?
"Every year, we have people captured by the North Sea Demon.
However, the North Sea Demon is too powerful. We can't even see its true appearance.
How could we possibly defeat that monster?
We beg you, can you help us!!
Please!"
The little old man seemed to have thought of something. His face was filled with fear, but in the end, he knelt on the ground and said to Caesar with tears in his eyes.
The little old man saw Caesar's god-like strength, although he could not understand how Caesar did it.
However, it did not stop the little old man from feeling that Caesar, this foreigner, was very powerful.
He treated Caesar as his hope.
For people like them who had lived in fear since they were young, the North Sea Demon had become an invincible demon.
At this moment, a young man carrying a longbow and two sharp swords on his waist walked out.
"Village Chief!
I will definitely kill that monster this year!!!
I won't let this monster harm us again.
Outsiders, leave quickly!
Don't lose your life here."
He walked to the side of the little old man and comforted him. Then, he looked at Caesar and the other two.
The young man was wearing a rough cloth armor, and there was an obvious scar on his face.
"Marcus! Don't go and die!
You can't defeat that monster!!”
After the little old man heard the young man's words, he pulled the young man and said in horror.
"I will definitely protect everyone. I will definitely kill that monster this time.
I won't let that monster hurt the people in the village again.
Even if I have to gamble my life, I won't hesitate!”
Marcus said resolutely after he broke free from the old man.
Then, he walked toward the back of the town with determination.
This thin and weak young man's determined back was like a hero who was calmly going to die.
" Marcus!!!"
The little old man looked at the young man's back and shouted in grief.
However, the young man's determined back did not stop.
Caesar, who witnessed all of this, looked at Marcus 'back with a thoughtful expression.
"Please, please save that child!
That poor child almost died at the hands of the North Sea Demon last year.
He would die! I beg you!
I beg you, please save him!"
The little old man seemed to have thought of something. He crawled in front of Caesar with his hands and feet, grabbed Caesar's trousers, and cried bitterly.
"What is he carrying?"
Caesar looked at the little old man and asked in a deep voice.
He seemed to see his past self in that boy.
He was once the king of Sowerby, carrying the hopes of all the people.
He did not know what this young man, who was about the same age as him, was carrying.
That was why he dared to risk his life to challenge a monster that he could not defeat.
"Because his sister was captured by the North Sea Monster ten years ago to protect him.
He had been training himself every day for ten years.
He hated his once weak self. He wanted revenge!
I want to protect this village."
The village chief knelt on the ground and said solemnly.
After hearing the village chief's words, Caesar and the other two fell silent.
"Please, save Marcus!!
His father had died protecting the village.
Please, save him!"
At this moment, more and more villagers overcame their fear and walked out. They knelt on the ground and said loudly.
Marcus 'father was the security officer of this small village. More than ten years ago, he died in the hands of the North Sea Monster while protecting the village.
Marcus 'sister took over his father's responsibility and resisted the North Sea Monster's plunder every year. In the end, she died to protect her brother.
Marcus was the only one left in their family.
