Among the several skills, Ji Chen attached great importance to “Insight”. Simply put, that skill was like a weakened version of Alice’s ability.
Alice could see into the soul, forcibly viewing the memories of living beings, while the Heraklion Guardian could also see into the soul, but could only discern good from evil.
It was clear which side was superior and which was inferior at a glance. However, the Heraklion Guardian obviously had an advantage that Alice could not match, and that was quantity.
No matter how powerful Alice was, she was only one person, and she could only pay attention to a few important targets, but the former had dozens of them, and there would be more in the future.
The Heraklion Guardians could be deployed as a permanent force within the Crown of the Ocean. While serving as combat guardians, they could also act as counter-espionage units, perhaps finding some evil individuals looking to cause trouble.
Ji Chen became interested and waved to indicate that they should start working. After the Heraklion Guardians bowed again, the flesh wings on their backs quickly flapped, flying into the air to patrol.
Their diligent appearance was a bit like that of loyal dogs guarding the house. During the flight, they also did not forget to sweep their blood-red eyes over the surrounding creatures, and their noses were twitching as if sniffing something.
Suddenly, one of the Heraklion Guardians plunged straight down and landed in front of a young sailor, baring its teeth and making low, threatening sounds like “wuwuwu”.
The surrounding onlookers immediately distanced themselves from this ferocious beast, leaving a space empty, with only the beast and the sailor in front of it.
The sailor looked at the terrifying beast, as large as a truck, staring at him intently, his face pale, scared to the point where his soul almost fled.
in front of those blood-red eyes, he felt as if he were being seen through, his heart trembling and feeling a bit guilty.
In a panic, his emotions unexpectedly calmed down slightly, and he shouted loudly.
“Help, this beast is going to kill someone!”
“The Crown of the Ocean is going to kill innocent people!
But his cries received no support from anyone, as the surrounding onlookers watched coldly.
It was obvious to anyone that something was amiss. How could that thing be soaring peacefully in the sky one moment and then suddenly dive down to fix its gaze on you?
Ji Chen watched as the Heraklion Guardian quickly found its target, feeling somewhat surprised, and approached slowly.
Looking at the crowd around him, he explained in a dignified voice.
“The Heraklion Guardian has the ability to discern good from evil. If one harbors ill intentions or malice, it will target them.”
The onlookers suddenly realized, so that was the reason. With that, they felt relieved. These merchants, who themselves had no combat power, were most afraid of lords who relied on their strong power to plunder recklessly.
To be honest, even if this epic-tier Lord of the Ocean were to kill them here, even without any reason, there probably wouldn’t be any responsibility or consequences.
Even the country they belonged to would not say anything at all.
This was a world where strength was paramount, where strength was everything, and those without power always tread on thin ice.
Fortunately, Ji Chen was not the kind of strongman who bullied others and killed innocent people. On the contrary, he strived to maintain order and rules in his territory, which was why they liked to come to the Crown of the Ocean for trading.
Upon hearing the commotion, a group of Crown of the Ocean soldiers quickly rushed over.
Ji Chen gestured to the sailor, who was already trembling on the ground, and spoke slowly, “Take him away for questioning. Find out his purpose for coming to the Crown of the Ocean, as well as the merchants and caravan that hired him. If the merchants who hired him also have ill intentions, then arrest them all.”
“Yes, sir!”
Watching the sailor, pale-faced, being taken away, many onlookers dispersed, each reminding themselves quietly.
They must not harbor any ill intention when they were in the Crown of the Ocean, otherwise, they wouldn’t see the light of the next day.
It was just a small incident.
The next morning.
On the highest floor of the largest castle in the castle compound, there was a sudden knock on the door. Ji Chen paused for a moment, placed his utensils down, and rose to open the door.
