Chapter 169: This Should Be a "Good Ship"
This area of the sea was once considered peaceful, with pleasant weather and abundant marine life.
It was a cradle for ordinary marine creatures and monsters alike.
However, ever since the Sea God was crushed by his own temple, this ocean has gone wild.
Undercurrents surge, the Earth's crust shifts, tsunamis cause mountains to collapse, volcanoes erupt, and even the weather is affected, with terrible storms occurring one after another, as if the Sea God's resentment drifts across the sea.
Yet, Francis Drake, the instigator of all this, remained blissfully unaware, sailing her ship and singing songs, practically ready to enjoy a hot pot meal.
They first returned to the area where they had fought Blackbeard, only to find nothing.
Not only was Blackbeard gone, but Jason and his crew had also already departed.
To search for the Ark of the Covenant, Jason had already set sail, having summoned two new Servants this time, which further bolstered the strength of his team.
"Master~ According to the divination, the Ark of the Covenant you speak of is on that island ahead. You can take your time getting there; I'll go check it out first."
A charming girl with eagle wings on her back flew above the Gorgon, bringing Jason information about the Ark of the Covenant.
Upon hearing this news, Jason immediately stood up, his face filled with joy and fawning, and happily exclaimed,
"Really! Truly worthy of the Witch Goddess! Your prophetic abilities are amazing, Circe! Soar to your heart's content! We'll be right behind you!"
Jason had summoned two new Servants, both of the Caster class, and one of them was this Witch Goddess of Okeanos, Circe.
Circe is a child of the gods, equipped with harpies' wings, allowing her to fly. She excels at making poisons and Dark Magecraft.
After being summoned, she used Dark Magecraft to divine the location of the Ark of the Covenant, and they were now almost there.
Circe was an incredibly beautiful woman, mature and lovely, exuding a poisonous charm.
As a scumbag, Jason naturally fell for her at first sight, feeling like a simpering admirer.
Medea, standing behind Jason, saw his attitude towards Circe and responded with cold sarcasm towards Circe, lowering her head slightly, a strange glint in her eyes.
Circe in the air laughed and spun around, displaying her femininity to the fullest, then winked at Jason and flew towards the small island.
Jason watched Circe fly away, the smile on his face gradually vanishing. After sitting back on his throne, he extended a hand.
"Accelerate forward. Prepare to get to the island early and find the Ark of the Covenant."
His tone was cold, completely different from just moments before.
Medea nodded slightly and said,
"Understood, Lord Jason."
A phantom eyeball floated over the ocean, taking in everything around it.
The sky had already completely darkened, but the Dragon's Eye Phantom, possessing night vision, was unaffected. After flying over a small island, it spotted the Gorgon sailing.
"Huh? Whose ship is that?"
Drake, currently piloting the Golden Hind, frowned slightly upon seeing the ship appear on the screen.
Her intuition told Drake that no ship sailing in this sea was ordinary, but she had never seen the Gorgon before and didn't know if it was friend or foe. So, she maneuvered the Dragon's Eye to approach and investigate.
Mo Shuying had just finished his exercise and came up. From afar, he saw the Gorgon on the projection screen, frowned, and instantly appeared at the helm.
"Is this…?"
"Hmm? You know it?"
Drake was a bit surprised that Mo Shuying actually knew this seemingly ancient sailing ship.
"Yes, the Gorgon."
Mo Shuying nodded. Drake paused for a moment after hearing him, then exclaimed in surprise,
"What! The Gorgon! That legendary earliest pirate ship of humanity? The adventure vessel filled with Great Hero-level powerhouses! The Gorgon!"
As a pirate, Drake was well aware of the legend of the Gorgon, the progenitor of pirates.
She hadn't expected to encounter it here.
"It is indeed the Gorgon, Jason's ship. Heh heh… I didn't expect to meet them so soon. This is great."
Mo Shuying cracked his knuckles, making a crisp sound.
Drake looked at Mo Shuying with some confusion. Why does he seem to harbor such deep-seated resentment?
"It's nothing. They are enemies. Their goal is to destroy the world, you see. Next time we meet, open fire directly; don't be polite with me."
Mo Shuying stepped forward and maneuvered the Dragon's Eye Phantom closer to the Gorgon. When it was very close, Medea's ear twitched, but she didn't react.
The Dragon's Eye Phantom saw this scene up close!
Jason sat on his throne, holding a golden cup and drinking fine wine.
Mo Shuying frowned at the cup.
"The Holy Grail… is already in Jason's hands? Is he…?"
Seeing the Holy Grail, Mo Shuying then glanced at Hector, who was resting against the ship's deck, and instantly realized that Blackbeard might have already been eliminated.
Just as Mo Shuying was maneuvering the Dragon's Eye Phantom to get even closer.
*"Zzz!"*
The screen suddenly went black, and Mo Shuying lost his vision.
"Hm? Was it detected?"
Mo Shuying frowned. While Dragon's Eye Phantom, a part of Dragon's Vision, was immune to physical attacks, it wasn't invincible.
"Was it destroyed? Can it be repaired?"
Francis Drake looked at the dark projection screen, her heart aching.
Mo Shuying shook his head.
"It's fine. The entire Golden Hind has a self-repair function. One Dragon's Eye can recover on its own in about half a day, or I can speed up the repair, like this."
Mo Shuying reached out and placed his hand on the Golden Rudder, injecting magic power. The Philosopher's Stone inside the ship glowed in unison, and soon a new Dragon's Eye Phantom flew out, reconnecting the image.
As the Golden Hind released another reconnaissance phantom, the atmosphere on the Gorgon was a bit off.
The returning Circe had discovered the Dragon's Eye Phantom, flown over, and used Dark Magecraft from behind to seal and destroy it.
Upon returning to the ship, she recounted the incident to Jason, and his expression instantly changed.
He turned and glared at Medea. Although he didn't say anything in the end, his look said it all.
Circe's eyes gleamed with delight as she watched Jason. She was a twisted woman who liked flawed men, meaning that a scoundrel like Jason was exactly her type—quite delicious, in fact.
"Circe, you worked hard. You came back because you found the Ark of the Covenant, didn't you?"
Jason ignored Medea, who was silently looking down, and turned to ask Circe.
Circe nodded, stood up, and stretched, showing off her graceful figure. Jason swallowed hard as he watched. When she felt she had teased him enough, Circe finally spoke.
"I found the people carrying the Ark of the Covenant. They are two Servants, one man and one woman. I didn't feel like I could win, so I didn't act rashly and hurried back to report."
"Two Servants?"
Jason frowned, surprised by how many wild Servants there were.
Seeing Jason frown and remain silent, Circe jumped next to him, clasped her hands behind her back, and said pitifully,
"Master~ Will you blame me for not bringing back the Ark of the Covenant~ I know I made a mistake~"
Hearing Circe's words, Jason's bones turned to jelly. He quickly reached out to support Circe's fragrant shoulder and said,
"Nonsense! Not at all! Ahem, ahem, ahem, with two opponents, it definitely wouldn't be safe for a girl like you. Oh, exactly which two Servants were they, Circe? Let's go back to the cabin and you can describe them properly."
Jason's eyes gleamed with mischief. He suddenly turned and coldly said to Medea,
"Medea, you control the Gorgon. Keep a close watch and don't let the two on the island escape. We'll regroup at dawn! Then we'll take them down in one fell swoop!"
After speaking, without waiting for Medea's response, Jason pulled Circe and ran into the cabin.
Medea watched the two leave, the smile completely gone from her face.
