That was accurate!
Ambrose nodded silently; he agreed with Eira’s statement. Then, he watched Hacken closely as he waited for an answer.
Hacken smiled bitterly, and he was about to speak. Buzz!
Suddenly, Coral Island trembled. Even though the frequency of the vibration was mild, everyone felt it. It felt like an earthquake.
“Look!”
Then, someone outside shouted, and everyone looked toward the distant horizon.
Far away in the distant sky where the Nine Mainland was located, thick black fog formed in the atmosphere like it was the end of the world.
That was the sign that the Chaotic Mountain Range was in distress.
Ambrose and Eira had no idea what it meant. They thought that it was a sign that an ancient tomb or a treasure had emerged.
“Oh…”
However, Hacken was shaking. He walked out of the main hall slowly as he stared at the distant sky and muttered, “Black fog formed in the sky along with strange phenomena. That is the sign that something had happened at the Chaotic Mountain Range.”
That information had been passed down from generation to generation in the Sea Mackie Clan. They were supposed to watch out for black fog in the sky, which would mean that the Chaotic Mountain Range was in distress.
The sign was very different from the emergence of a Grand Weapon or an ancient tomb.
‘So, this is the sign that means the Chaotic Mountain Range is in distress?’
Ambrose and the others were taken aback. They thought it was a coincidence, but they did not doubt it after noticing Hacken’s solemn expression.
“Quickly! Go to the place where the treasure is and bring me the treasure.”
Hacken immediately summoned his people; he shouted excitedly. They needed to retrieve the treasure since something strange had happened on the Chaotic Mountain Range. The late Emperor Xuan Yuan had given them that instruction and the Sea Mackie Clan had to obey it.
However, no one from the Sea Mackie Clan went forward to accept the task.
Hacken felt embarrassed. The location of the treasure was on the seabed a few thousand meters below Coral Island. Only people who were extremely familiar with the water could go all the way down to retrieve it. However, some of the Sea Mackie Clan elites had been injured in the fight against Ambrose; they needed rest.
Ambrose stood up and said, “Shall I go get it?”
Even though Hacken did not say much, Ambrose figured that the treasure’s location must be quite dangerous. Hence, no one from the Sea Mackie Clan dared to go.
“You?”
Hacken hesitated. The Sea Mackie Clan had guarded the treasure placed at the bottom of the sea for thousands of years and kept the secret from outsiders. The treasure was important. How could they let an outsider retrieve it?
Ambrose noticed that Hacken was worried, so he said with a smile, “You told us that the treasure is related to the safety of the Nine Mainland. As a member of the nine continents, I should contribute to that.”
Heather said, “Father, why don’t we let Brother Ambrose do that? I can go with him.”
Eira was about to say something, but she held her tongue after Heather spoke first. A smile appeared on her delicate face.
Eira had wanted to matchmake Ambrose and Heather. She was over the moon to see that the two had the opportunity to be by themselves.
“Very well!”
