I'm the King Of Technology

Finally!

The Holystone was closer to Morgany than ever before.

Just in a week or so, it would hit the shores.

And after a few more months, those in the capital would ultimately be able to get their hands on it!

Soon, the world would truly know what power was!

The Morgs were ecstatic.

Zain smiled broadly, thinking this news alone could topple the annoying stream of bad that had been bombarding him for quite some time now.

First, there was a report from Old Crow Face and a few others about some legendary people from a place called Hamunaptra.

They not only kidnapped the young Rankin but also had the guts to say that he was their heir or something.

Rankin was the son of Countess Yaya, whose father was a great inventor.

The old fool died with his secret technique and creations, hiding them somewhere they hadn't figured out.

What irked him was that one of the old fool's creations had inspiration from some ancient document linking up to the Holy Stone.

They didn't know how important that information was.

However, since they were too clueless of all that the holy stone could do, wouldn't it be best to gather all the information that came their way?

It was the real reason Countess Yaya was forced to marry the count.

.

For years, they built a particular tower high up in the sky for her, keeping her locked in there forever.

The only thing they did was bring her food and a few buckets of water.

She cleaned for herself, did laundry, and practically everything else.

Many in Morgany had long forgotten how she looked, thinking she should've long died up in the tower.

But only a few servants and they, the higher-ups, knew for a fact that the woman's life was hard to kill!

Through her many years of future, she hadn't even confessed or given way for one second... This was rare in a woman.

Maybe it was because they hadn't captured her brat of a kid yet.

But since she didn't see his body, she didn't budge at all from their threats.

A mother trusts her instincts.

She knew her son was alive. And if after so many years, they couldn't find him... Heh... Then what bloody threat could they give her to prove his death?

Countess Yaya's only weakness was her son... Rankin.

Just when they thought they finally had him, those Hamunaptra people suddenly swooped in and took him.

They had strange symbol clothes, and their entire fighting styles were strong and very distinctive too.

Their language was neither Pyron, Morg, or Veinnit.

They only knew a few Pyron words, and their accents were too strange and heavy.

They were definitely not around Pyno, Veinitta, or even Morgany.

So... Could it be that there was some hidden island or region far out in the seas that they hadn't seen yet?

Could it be that the cause for many missing or dead private fleets was because when they came closer to this island, they would get killed by these Hamunaptra people?

[... Err... No. Tye dangerous creatures underneath the seas and the many event attacks got to them...]

.

Hamunaptra... Hamunaptra...

"Leader, with the 20 from the top 100 pirate fleets on the move, we will definitely find this place called Hamunaptra."

"Hmmm." Zain's expression was cold.

From the letter, these people even dared to say they were stronger than Morgany and would come for Morgany soon.

This meant they weren't afraid of Morgany.

So what gave them the guts to say so?... What gave them the liver, the heart, the eyeball to say such daring words?

It wasn't as though Zain was scared of them.

No!

What he hated was having venues lurking in the dark.

It was best to bring them out in the light and find out all he could about them.

"Leader, it's said that they fled by ship and escaped the scene. And with the evidence we have, it's clear that they battled with a few of their men, trying to leave the continent Pyno as fast as they could.'

One should know that a lot of pirate fleets stationed in a particular spot in line with their reported escape route was proof enough of their exit from Pyno.

But where?

Zain wasn't sure they wouldn't head for Morgany or Veinitta.

And since Pyno itself was out of the question, they definitely took the boy to either other parts of the world... Or to some undiscovered island they, the Morgs, weren't acquainted with.

Zain frowned.

Could it be the Whirltic zone?

(?^?)

.

The Whirltic Zone.

There's a very turbulent corner of the seas directly between Dania and Romain.

There, monstrous whirlpools reigned, making the zone a no ship-traveling spot.

That would just be suicide.

Additionally, no matter what time one went there, it was always raining and thundering.

There were many bizarre phenomena in this world... And the Whirltic zone was one of them.

So... Could it be that there was an unknown island this fine that only its people know how to cross?

Zain didn't like this one bit!

He felt his hunch was correct.

And maybe, there might even be an entire island as massive as an empire in there!

Of course, judging from the distance between Dania and Romain, it wouldn't be another continent.

Nonetheless, having a small size doesn't mean it wasn't a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Just look at how much damage they did to those he sent to capture the boy?

"Leader, for this Hamunaptra matter, I think they have something to do with Countess Yaya... Or else why would they risk so much for her son? Maybe they would also try rescuing her too."

Countess Yaya was the most suspicious.

All they had to do was wait, and these Hamunaptra people will soon come for her!

It should be her father's work that also drew them in.

In that case, did they also know about the Holystone?

.

Zain raised the corner of his lips cruelly.

"When we get to the Capital, strengthen the defenses around that woman... Wouldn't it be rude for us to miss their visit?"
