I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 176 - 151: Royal City of Ozulik (Part 4)

Rogel chuckled and waved his hand, then after inquiring about the Third Prince's specific disappearance and appearance, he felt more confirmed.

Everything matched up; it should definitely be Kadi, that kid didn't get away.

After confirming his thoughts, Rogel became curious about the situation of the Thousand Islands Kingdom's royal family.

"You just mentioned... the Late Princess Consort?"

Toris heard this and exchanged a glance with Angke, then lowered his voice.

"Brother, I accidentally spilled the beans. Just pretend I never mentioned those three words, and I advise you not to go asking around, or you'll get into trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Rogel became even more curious.

"You two, let's talk quietly, I'm really too curious."

Rogel looked eager and expectant, then called over the waiter for two more bottles of expensive wine.

"Brother Toris, Brother Angke, just tell me, won't you?"

"How about this, let's switch it up, just treat them like an ordinary family?"

"Can you tell me what happened to that man's late wife?"

Rogel signaled to him with his eyes.

Upon hearing Rogel's words, the man hesitated for a moment, then, after a silence, seemingly itching to speak, he began in a low voice.

"Alright, I'll tell you, just make sure you don't talk about this on the streets, or else you might end up in jail!"

"Got it, got it!"

Rogel nodded eagerly.

After looking around, Toris and Angke began to tell Rogel about the royal family using words like "late wife," "eldest son," and "stepmother."

The current king of the Thousand Islands Kingdom is the Seventeenth Generation of the Divine Race—Jowen Ozuric.

The meaning of the Divine Descendant is that they are heirs of divine bloodline, passed down to the seventeenth king now.

The royal family believes that the legendary Heroic King Ouzelik possessed divine bloodline, which was the reason for his might and heroic physique, and as his descendants, the royal family members naturally are also Divine Descendants.

Initially, Ozulik was not a surname but the name of the founder of the Thousand Islands Kingdom.

However, later on, royal family members adopted it as a surname to signify holiness and authority, and to commemorate their ancestor.

As for the Late Princess Consort... she was the original consort of the Seventeenth Generation of the Divine Race and the biological mother of the first three princes.

This Late Princess Consort was not only beautiful, but her character was also very kind, graceful, and generous, with many stories being told about her.

Even today, many islanders still remember her.

According to royal news, she died of a sudden malicious disease.

However, many islanders do not believe this, thinking it was too sudden, with a conspiracy involved.

Moreover, the Seventeenth Generation of the Divine Race couldn't wait to marry the current princess consort just months after the Late Princess Consort's funeral.

Moreover!

The most important thing is that this current princess consort seems to have deep connections with the Mother Goddess Church; since she came into power, the Mother Goddess Church has frantically expanded, spreading Faith everywhere, and, united with kingdom's forces, suppressing other churches.

This has caused many islanders to harbor suspicion and doubt.

Has the Seventeenth Generation of the Divine Race made some damned dirty deal with the Mother Goddess Church? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

However, ever since the current princess consort came into power, the kingdom has strictly prohibited discussions of this kind.

So, the reason behind the Late Princess Consort's death is still unknown.

"And what about the Sword Ceremony? What is it?"

Earlier, he heard Toris and Angke mention this term in their conversation.

Upon mention of this, Toris no longer kept his voice low.

"Sword Ceremony, huh, you don't know that, Brother An Zhi, it's quite surprising for someone who travels around as a merchant, hahaha!"

A slightly flushed Toris patted Rogel's shoulder jokingly.

"The Sword Ceremony is the royal tradition for selecting the next king."

Still somewhat clear-minded, Angke started explaining to Rogel.

"Legend has it that over five hundred years ago, the Heroic King Ouzelik killed an Evil Giant Dragon with his bare hands, and gathered extraordinary giant artisans from the Five Major Seas, sacrificed Dragon Blood and Dragon Heart and his own blood, and combined top worldly materials to create a divine Legendary Sword—Odaqiro."

After saying this, Angke specifically explained to Rogel the origin of this name.

"The name Odaqiro comes from a legendary terrifying storm that swept through countless islands."

Then, Angke continued.

"Heroic King Ouzelik wielded Odaqiro's Sword across the Five Great Seas, possessing mighty power; it is said that aside from the Hero King himself, no one could lift Odaqiro's Sword, anyone else would be repelled by a magical force."

"Even Ouzelik's eldest son, the Second Generation of the Divine Race, could only touch Odaqiro's Sword."

"Now, Odaqiro's Sword stands at the highest peak of Ozuric Island—Divine Descendant Peak, before the statue of the Heroic King."

Angke paused.

"As for the Sword Ceremony, it's when the royal descendants climb Divine Descendant Peak to the Heroic King's statue, and if recognized, they can touch Odaqiro's Sword."

"At the same time, it determines who will become the next king of the Thousand Islands Kingdom."

Goodness, isn't it magical?

Actually, this is a fantasy world, so this should seem normal…

Still, Rogel was secretly amazed.

They actually leave the choice of king to a sword, and in all these years, nothing went wrong, it's indeed quite impressive.

"And the Sword Ceremony is not far off."

"Next month."
