This is a Miracle

“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 it’s 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.

“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, it’s 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 Luo’s opinion, humans can’t 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! I’m not afraid of him.”

Bai Luo isn’t afraid of an opponent like the pirate king, nor are the Ardennes.

The only problem was that the pirate’s 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, it’s just a legend, and these pirates hadn’t seen Morgan themselves.

“200 years… Can people really live that long?”

However, upon thinking of the magic of miracles, Bai Luo decided that it’s 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t just for him, but also for his elder sister, the old man, and the others.

He didn’t know about it before, hence it didn’t cross his mind, but now that knew, he must find it no matter what.

However, it’s 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.”

“What about the eighty pirates in the depths of the island?”

“…”

The pirates suddenly fell silent. Bai Luo looked at Lilith in confusion, only to hear her say,

“Master, you asked them a question that they have no knowledge of.”

It’s as if someone was asking a question and suddenly said something like ‘Darabum Paband Bedib Dobiruon’. Complete nonsense.

The average person would naturally respond with: “What?”

Sure enough, the pirates didn’t understand the meaning of Bai Luo’s words.

“I said, why did you send eighty pirates to the depths of this island? What are they doing?”

Unfortunately, the three pirates still couldn’t answer this question.

“Are there pirates anywhere else on the island?”

The old man suddenly interjected and asked such a question, to which the pirates answered in unison,

“No.”

“…”

Bai Luo was silent,

“There are no other pirates on the island?”

“No.”

“What’s going on?”

Bai Luo looked at Shirley, and the latter replied with absolute certainty,

“Shirley really noticed human fluctuations over there.”

Shirley can’t be wrong, nor is Lilith’s fairy magic.

In this way, only one option remains—The more than 80 people in the forest aren’t pirates!

After that, Bai Luo asked some more questions.

After confirming that all the information that these pirates held had been extracted, Bai Luo ordered the Ardennes to behead them.

“Are you sure that there are more people on the island?”

“Absolutely,” Bai Luo said affirmatively,

“Shirley told me that there are at least eighty more.”

“You’re fast, go scout it out first.”

Uncle Saros suggested,

“However, if you face any danger, don’t act rashly. Come back first and we’ll discuss it slowly.”

Bai Luo is the core of the Ardennes, he is absolutely not to be lost. Anyone can be sacrificed with the exception of Bai Luo.

“Shhhhh~”

“Oh?”

Bai Luo, who was about to ask Shirley to come over, froze for a moment. However, this didn’t go unnoticed in the eyes of the old man,

“What’s wrong?”

“A good thing!”

Bai Luo didn’t say much but just smiled. Saros was puzzled at first, but his eyes widened in the next moment.

“Go ahead and do your thing. Find me if you need anything.”

The old man said, “I’ll help you arrange things here.”

“I’m leaving.”

After Bai Luo finished speaking, he mounted Shirley and took off into the sky, and Lilith immediately followed.

She sat on Bai Luo’s shoulder and said,

“Master, let Lilith help you fight next time.”

There is no more danger in the port. The remaining pirates are concentrated in the depths of the island, and Bai Luo is rushing straight towards them. Even if there is something wrong, Bai Luo will solve it himself.

“Hmm.”

Bai Luo nodded and said,

“We’ll also look at a new miracle by the way.”

“…”

Although Lilith is a miracle creature, she also knows about the law of miracle awakening and understands how low is the possibility of acquiring one.

Bai Luo naturally knows that, but he possesses three different miracles. Who could have more experience in finding miracles than him?

“This is how the master found you, Lilith.”

“Eh?”

Lilith blinked her lovely eyes and covered her mouth,

“Master is so amazing!”

“Of course!”

Shirley said with pride,

“Master is invincible throughout the world!”

“And super handsome, handsome as hell!”

“Hee hee hee.”

Hearing the cute chattering and laughter echoing in his ears, Bai Luo felt that they shouldn’t say that.

They should be more humble. Although it’s all true, it’s 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]

“That’s long!!”

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

“No, it’s more than just a riddle, it feels like it’s telling me a story.”

“However, there’s so much information that I don’t 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 don’t 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 there’s 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 didn’t know about,

“Is it them?”

“Since they don’t crave flesh and blood, then they must be vegetarian.”

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

Bai Luo rode on Shirley’s back and flew towards the position indicated by the black book.

However, this time, they don’t 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.”

That’s 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 don’t 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 couldn’t 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!

It’s 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 isn’t 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…’
