"The Fools Ship? It's already gone!"
Kanna pointed to the boundless sea and replied.
..."Why didn't you keep him? With your strength, even if Stultifera Navis had become a paradise for the Seaborn, it would be impossible not to keep him." Carmen was very confused about this. In his opinion, the strength Kanna displayed was already completely sufficient to rampage across this vast ocean. It was hard to imagine a situation where they gained nothing and their Inquisitor was still unconscious.
"Because the Captain didn't decide to go back!"
"Captain!" Carmen's pupils constricted, and a familiar figure seemed to appear before his eyes.
"Alfonso of Stultifera Navis. From his tone, he should know you, old man!" Kanna said innocently.
"Impossible!" Carmen's hand slammed heavily on the ship's railing. His eyes were bloodshot at this moment, startling the surrounding Inquisitors.
"Captain Alfonso holds quite a grudge against you, old man. He thinks you took sixty years to find Stultifera Navis, which was too slow. If you want to know other things, you can wait until Irene wakes up or we get off the ship to talk slowly, because no one knows how many Seaborn are beneath our ship right now. It's not safe to stay here for too long..."
Kanna was not at all intimidated by Carmen's powerful aura. Instead, her words casually twisted the knife in Carmen's side.
After a long silence looking out at the sea, Carmen seemed to lose all his strength. He waved his hand, "Let's go back!"
After speaking, he walked to the side of the ship and sat down, leaning against the railing with his eyes closed. For a moment, all the old friends who had once boarded the ship seemed to appear before him one by one.
"Hey, don't you think you're being a bit too harsh on a respectable old man?" Specter squatted beside Kanna, glancing at the "saint" who seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and whispered.
"Don't worry, the old man is stronger than you think. You know, he is Iberia; he won't fall so easily." Kanna had quite a few good things she had casually looted from the Fools Ship. She believed the Captain wouldn't be angry that she took these things. On the contrary, if these things could be given to Iberia and Rhodes Island, they could provide more information to The Inquisition about the sea and the Seaborn.
"That little guy is really ruthless, First Mate. She looted us clean. She truly is a Draco... Everyone's data in Stultifera Navis was taken by her, and not a single captain's log was left... Thankfully, the compass is still here, otherwise, under this gloomy sky, we wouldn't even be able to tell north, south, east, or west." Alfonso looked at the captain's cabin, which Kanna had looted clean, and said with a smile to Garcia beside him.
Soon, the ship returned to the lighthouse. At this point, a team composed of hundreds of Retribution Army soldiers and The Inquisition had firmly taken control of the lighthouse for Iberia.
"How much did you gain from Stultifera Navis?" Kaltsit asked Kanna after watching Carmen walk away to the rocks to communicate with The Inquisition below the lighthouse.
"A lot, and Rhodes Island definitely can't handle it. I think it's best to give it to Iberia, but this isn't suitable, so let's go find the old man after we set foot on land!" Kanna took all the remaining scrolls, books, and crew records from the Fools Ship. No one could imagine how much information from Iberia's most glorious period was contained within.
Alfonso allowed her to take these precious possessions, hoping she would bring them back to the mainland. Although Iberia's glory had ended with the destruction of the Golden Fleet, if the current Iberia was willing to study the knowledge and literature from Stultifera Navis, it could at least point the country in a direction.
By the time the group's ship returned to the port of Gran Faro, it was already dark.
However, with the guidance of the lighthouse, the ship docked smoothly by the shore.
"The Inquisition has prepared resting places for everyone in Gran Faro. I believe everyone is tired after this long series of events. Let's talk about Stultifera Navis tomorrow." Carmen pointed to the hotel that The Inquisition had prepared nearby and said to Rhodes Island and the Abyssal Hunters.
Not far away, Irene had already woken up. She looked at the Abyssal Hunters and Kanna's group with complex emotions. When she was knocked unconscious, she had once believed that Stultifera Navis would ultimately be seized by the Aegirians.
But she didn't expect to wake up and find that although Iberia had lost Stultifera Navis, these Aegirians with ulterior motives had not succeeded either. The news she received from others was that when they were found, they were on the ship they had sailed out on.
"Ah! I'm so tired today, but going out to sea occasionally is really interesting, but that's enough. You can't see anything in all directions on the vast ocean, and it gets boring after a while..." Kanna stretched, complaining to herself.
Just then, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from Gran Faro, a violent and scorching aura that startled everyone.
Kanna waved her hand, and Dahlia immediately jumped onto her. "It's Ifrit, I'll go check it out first!"
Kaltsit nodded. Before she could speak, Kanna had already disappeared from the beach.
Carmen looked in the direction from which the aura came. It was the resting courtyard The Inquisition had prepared for Rhodes Island. He remembered that among the people from Rhodes Island this time, there was a little girl who used fire arts. Her aura was very similar to the aura he had just felt, but the fire in this aura felt even more violent.
"What's going on?" When Kanna jumped onto the wall, she only saw that most of the things in the courtyard had been incinerated. At this moment, Saria and Nian were surrounding Ifrit, one in front and one behind. A huge pillar of fire rose from Ifrit and was directed into the air by their arts.
"It's my fault. I underestimated these Abyssal Cultists." Saria's face was uncharacteristically pained. The completely unrecognizable charred corpse nearby showed the fate of that Abyssal Cultist.
"Dahlia, help me out. I'll rush in and clear the way, then you use water to wake up Ifrit. Any problems?" Kanna patted the somewhat agitated Dahlia on her body.
Two water pipes made of water extended from her shoulders, pointing towards Ifrit's position.
"Prepare!"
Kanna took a large stride and charged into the flames. Upon contact with the fire, powerful lightning pierced through the defensive perimeter of the flames, allowing her to smoothly reach Ifrit's side, bringing Dahlia with her.
At this moment, Ifrit's eyes appeared vacant, indicating that she had already fainted, and her current actions were purely instinctive.
Knowing Ifrit's condition, Kanna breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed Ifrit's shoulders directly.
