Doomsday Code

Chapter 1039 Sea Route

After listening, Melos pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Alright then, but Elder Shuiluo and Fister will remain the same; they will serve as guards along the way, and later we will arrange for a thousand wise men from the clan to go north."

Upon hearing that there were a full thousand elves, Chen Cheng frowned.

Immediately he said:

"Isn't this too large a number? It might be difficult to hide them."

Melos shook his head after hearing this and said:

“We don’t need to travel by land. Instead, we can go directly through the World Sea and sail north to the Northern Ice Sea.”

Perhaps because Chen Cheng had spent most of his time on land, it was only after Melos's reminder that he realized there was also a sea route.

For a century, before the land route between the Southern Forest and the Elven race was severed, all communication between the Elves and humans was by sea.

Emil originally came here by sea.

Then Chen Cheng remembered that he still had to go to the Kingdom of Como, which was exactly what he was worried about—how to conceal his whereabouts along the way.

If there's a sea route to take a boat, that will be much more convenient.

Chen Cheng shared his thoughts, as he was still unfamiliar with navigation in this world and needed to consult with professionals like Melos.

Melos shook his head after hearing this and said:

"That's impossible. If Your Majesty wishes to travel to the Kingdom of Komo, the shortest distance is to cross the World Sea. However, the World Sea is not peaceful now. The sea creatures in the sea have long since turned the entire World Sea into a forbidden zone."

Only the waters within a hundred miles of the coast are passable for ships, and even then, there's a risk of encountering ruthless sea monsters who will attempt to hijack them.

“Every year, countless sailors die because of this shipwreck, while our elven race is relatively powerful, so often when our ships are there, the sea creatures will not come to invade.”

However, this is a relative situation.

"If Your Majesty were to travel by sea, sailing close to the coast towards the Kingdom of Como would take years."

Chen Cheng never expected that there were so many intricacies involved in seafaring, especially with those sea creatures.

"Could it be that they were like this back in the imperial era?"

Chen Cheng asked in a deep voice.

"No, although many kingdoms have declared war on the sea creatures, they are still members of the council because, during the imperial era, they, like the elves and dragons, were all appointed as rulers by imperial decree."

However, after the collapse of the empire, they quickly turned against it, attacking the empire's eastern naval base and nearly annihilating the entire eastern navy.

Melos sighed again and continued:

"It is precisely for this reason that the major kingdoms have declared war on the sea creatures, and they fight each other at sea every year."

However, Chen Cheng did not immediately get angry after hearing this, but instead smiled coldly and said:

"I'm afraid it's not just them, otherwise the sea creatures wouldn't have needed to fight to the death with those kingdoms."

Melos was naturally aware of Chen Cheng's speculation, but he had no evidence. Moreover, although the sea creatures were intelligent, their physical forms were too different from those of the elves and humans who lived on land.

Furthermore, the sea creatures arrogantly blockaded the entire world's seas, so naturally no one cared about what they said.

Chen Cheng was certainly not some angry young man. From the moment the empire collapsed, these armies belonging to the empire's violent machinery were naturally the first to be eliminated by those treacherous officials.

So this has nothing to do with anger. The only thing I need to do is to avenge them when I have the ability.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I have no choice but to take this sea route. I have my own way of dealing with the sea creatures. Otherwise, I simply won't have enough time to make the journey."

Seeing that Chen Cheng had made up his mind, Melos couldn't say anything more. He could only make up his mind in his heart and decide to accompany Chen Cheng and the others across the sea.

After saying that, Chen Cheng immediately thought of Samlett and asked Melos about his current situation.

Chen Cheng remembered that Samlet was seriously injured because of him. Although he received treatment from the elves, he was still unable to fight.

So for Sam's safety, and because Melos seemed to have some feelings for Sam, Chen Cheng ultimately decided to let Sam stay with the elves.

When Melos heard Chen Cheng inquire about Samlett's situation, she immediately hesitated, her face filled with guilt.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng knew that the situation was not good.

"How is Sam? Has his injury worsened? It doesn't matter. I've just mastered a new supernatural power that I can use to heal his wounds."

Although Chen Cheng didn't know if his healing ability could really heal Samlett's injuries, he imagined it would definitely benefit Samlett's condition.

However, Melos shook his head and said:

"He is no longer with the clan."

Melos then revealed that Samette had run away.

After hearing this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Melos and the others, even though Samlett had managed to escape from the elves on his own.

"Melos, how can you do this? If you two get together in the future, won't you be able to control him?"

Chen Cheng was so flustered that he blurted out what was on his mind.

His tone made it sound as if he were gossiping behind someone's back, saying that the wife hadn't kept a close eye on her husband and that he had cheated on her.

After they finished speaking, everyone looked at Melos and Chen Cheng with strange eyes.

Chen Cheng then realized that he had misspoke again.

Although he was being laughed at by a group of younger people who were old enough to be their ancestors, Melos didn't try to hide it this time, but instead spoke frankly:

"I'll bring him back this time."

Meanwhile, Sam, who was tens of thousands of miles away, suddenly sneezed.

"Lord, are you alright?"

Fisher Doug carefully inquired while taking Samlett's pulse.

After spending these days together, Sam had developed more trust in him. In addition, his already unhealed injury showed signs of flaring up again, so whenever he had time, Sam would ask Fairsherdog to take a look at his injury.

Although Doug did not specialize in healing magic, his wood magic also had healing methods, so he had been helping Sam to stabilize his internal injuries these past few days.

"I'm fine, how's my health?"

Samlett withdrew his arm and asked slowly.

Fisher-Doug was no longer as nervous as before, and said while packing his things:

"Generally speaking, it's not too bad, but you can't use your power anymore, otherwise the injury will relapse."

Samlett then stood up and said:

"We have to use some methods; otherwise, how will those guys actually spit out the real stuff?"

For the past few days, Sam has been disguised and infiltrating various mansions in the city to conduct coercive intelligence interrogations.

Although he didn't get the core information out of him, he still learned a lot of other important information.

Because of his actions, the upper-class residences of the entire capital are now in a state of high alert, with everyone fearing that Samuel Leigh, the living devil, might suddenly appear at their door.

They really didn't say anything at first, but just gave you a severe beating.
