Chapter 16: One Singing and One Harmony
Inside the Thunder Church, the dome is high and wide, the arches are continuous, and the murals around are connected, without a little blank, mainly gold and blue, so that the people walking in it subconsciously feel sacred and solemn, and involuntarily lower their heads.
Alger Wilson, who was often in contact with the secret being, and who had been meeting in palaces like the dwellings of the gods for a long time, no longer felt and was no longer in awe of it, but he did not show this, and like the sailors around him, he always looked down at the ground, and his steps were so gentle that he did not dare to breathe.
In a quiet atmosphere, they were led by the priest all the way to the clergy's quarters at the back of the church, where they were each given a room.
Closing the door, Alger saw the bloody moonlight shining through the window, making the environment cold and eerie, and countless ghostly spirits seemed to be watching the real world through a thin curtain.
Whenever the "Blood Moon" appears, the spirituality will always rise, the power from the spirit world and hell will be greatly enhanced, and the negative emotions of the living beings will also explode, and the higher the sequence, the more obvious the feeling.
Faintly, Alger heard the sound of crying, whispering, and whispering, which was very different from the solemn feeling he had felt in the Thunder Chapel before.
There seemed to be illusory arms in front of his eyes, extending from the wall, from the floor, from the ceiling, like a three-dimensional pale forest.
Aware of the anomaly of the Blood Moon, Alger took off his captain's hat without a hint of panic, entered the bathroom, and washed his face with tap water.
In the process, he suddenly heard a distant and beautiful singing.
The song was indistinct, as if coming from the middle of the island, and surrounded by it, as if it were right next to Alger, and it did not make people feel frightened, like a woman who was far away from her family, far away from her relatives, and far away from her lover, on the edge of a cliff, looking at the rushing tide, chanting softly and slowly, full of sorrow.
Alger ripped off a towel, wiped his face, and listened for a few seconds.
He frowned, took out a small tin box from the pocket of the priest's robe, and held it close to his ear.
It contained the extraordinary properties of the Ocean Singer that he had purchased from the World, and he suspected that the spirit remaining within the item had temporarily increased under the influence of the Blood Moon.
As the tin box approached, some of the singing voices in Alger's ears suddenly became clear, and emotions such as melancholy, sadness, longing, and pain seemed to be substantial.
However, in addition to this, there are still ethereal and ancient songs, which are clearly demarcated from the clear parts, as if they are singing and harmonizing!
"Whose song is this? like an elf's...... Something from an elf in the church? This extraordinary trait of the Sea Singer in me comes from an elf?" Alger nodded speculatively.
Because they are also "sailors", the Storm Church has been collecting elven relics for a long time, some of them have been blended into potions, some have been used as seals, they have been isolated underground, and some have less negative effects and have been rewarded to the clergy, so it is not surprising that similar things stimulate each other and appear abnormal on the "night of the blood moon".
If it's a magical item, then there's nothing wrong with it, but if it's a seal, the fact that the song can penetrate the isolation means that it's not simple...... Alger retracted his thoughts, brushed his teeth, and lay down on the bed.
He quickly fell asleep and fell into a dream.
After some time, Alger suddenly became a little awake, vaguely aware that he was dreaming, but with the active consciousness to look around.
He found that above him was a rippling deep blue water, layer after layer, so that the sky could not be seen at all, and in front of him was a gorgeous palace that seemed to be made of coral, tall, magnificent, gloomy, and gloomy.
Alger subconsciously walked towards the palace and walked into the open door.
Inside, huge coral pillars stand tall and support an exaggerated dome, and the walls and tops are covered with murals depicting the horrors of the storm.
At the end of the 100-meter distance, a seat inlaid with sapphires, emeralds and round pearls sits on nine steps and is particularly eye-catching.
Alger looked over and saw a woman in a long retro dress, her hair black and shiny, her hair pulled into a high bun, her contours soft, her facial features delicate, and her beauty not subject to prejudice due to the change of time.
The woman looked at Alger with a cold expression, slightly pointed ears, and deep brown eyes.
In her hand she played with a golden wine glass with intricate patterns.
Alger was about to speak, when the woman's eyes were filled with silver, as if lightning flashed, and she rushed out and pierced the dream!
Call...... Alger rolled over and sat up, subconsciously gasping for breath, only to feel that the dream just now was both vague and clear.
Blurred are the woman's appearance, the details of the frescoes, and the specific appearance of the coral palace, and what is clear is the lightning-fast eyes and slightly pointed ears.
A high-ranking elf? The object she left behind resonated with the extraordinary properties of the "Sea Singer" in me under the influence of the Blood Moon, so much so that it affected my dreams? Alger guessed as he casually wondered which item it would be.
Because of his low status, limited knowledge of seals and magical items, and knowledge that others do not know, he soon had a goal:
"'Scourge' Goshinum?
"The Book of Scourge that he left behind must have been delivered to the island of Passoo......
"When the debriefing is over, leave here, and then ask Mr. 'Fool' for advice, and see if what happened just now will leave any bad effects......
- Alger is afraid to recite the name of "The Fool" at the headquarters of the Storm Church.
After daybreak, he showed no signs of abnormality, and was led by the servants into a room with a long table to be questioned by the three "substitutes" deacons.
Of the three deacons, only one has dark blue hair, because this is not a change that will necessarily occur after taking the "Sailor" path potion, but this trait will be inherited quite tenaciously, just like the elven family, originally there was more black hair than blue hair, but in modern times, most of the half-breeds with elven blood are blue-haired.
Alger sat down at the long table and answered the deacons' questions in an orderly manner, telling him what he had done at sea, what he intended to do, what he had succeeded in, and what he had failed.
And this will be compared with what other crew members are telling to prevent someone from lying.
At the end of the debriefing, the dark-blue-haired deacon glanced at Alger and asked in a thick voice:
"Do you know Gardelia, the Admiral of the Stars?"
Not only recognize ...... Alger was almost frightened, and thought for a moment before answering:
"Seen at the Pirate Convention. ”
The deacon did not dwell on the question just now, and said bluntly:
"Find a way to get to know her and get to know her and investigate the situation of Gelman Sparrow. ”
So that's it...... Because Gelman hunted the "Blood Admiral"?, Alger asked, pretending to be puzzled:
"What did Gelman Sparrow do?"
The dark-haired deacon said angrily:
"Almost ruined Byam!Well, that's not something you should know, anyway, remember, Gelman Sparrow is a very dangerous guy with a hidden evil organization behind it, and that organization has demigods and is hostile to the Rose School!"
Nearly ruined Byam?Is the organization a demigod?Hostile to the Rose School?Alger deliberately and unabashedly expressed his astonishment.
He also thought that Gelman was doubly valued because he hunted the "blood general" Seigno, who knew that things were much more complicated and exaggerated than he imagined!
What did Gelman Sparrow do? When I pass by Byam, I'll have to look for the scene...... Also, isn't the sworn enemy of our Tarot Society the Aurora Society? Hasn't Mr. "Fool" been targeting the "True Creator"? How did it become, no, there is another Rose School? Alger muttered to himself in his heart.
As for the fact that Tarot would have demigods, he was not surprised, and even felt that this was common sense, how could an ancient being's subordinates not have demigods?
And the silent and strange death of "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Ziringers has already made him believe that Mr. "Fool" has a high-level dependent!
Luckily, my encounter with Gelman was secretive, otherwise things would have been in trouble...... Alger listened quietly, didn't ask any more questions, and as usual, took the task, got up and left the room.
............
Outside 160 Berklund Street in the northern side of Beckland, servants lined up in two to greet their master.
Dressed in a tuxedo, silk top hat and gold-encrusted cane, Daun Dantès, accompanied by Walter, the butler, and Richardson, the valet man, passed through the servants to the entrance of the three-story building.
Waiting here was Tanea, the housekeeper he had chosen this morning.
She was in her early forties, her hair was meticulously tied up, her facial features were ordinary, but she had a capable temperament, she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and wore a long dress that was intertwined with black and white but different from that of a maid.
Klein learned from sources and interviews that the lady was born on the East Side, was a believer in the goddess of the night, and at the age of 15 chose to train as a qualified maid from a charitable foundation of the church.
Thanks to more than a decade of hard work and free evening school lessons, she worked her way up from the lowliest maid to the chief maid in a wealthy businessman, and then after the other daughter's marriage, she followed her and worked as a housekeeper until the family's finances were in crisis, and she had to leave, and she was very experienced in the internal management of the family.
The woman had just signed her contract and had received £1,000 in cash from Dawn Dantès at the beginning of the month when she argued with her butler, Walter, over whether to buy or rent the carriage.
In her opinion, since Mr. Dantès's goal is to enter high society and move to the West End, or even Queens, then the carriage must need to be specially customized, so as not to lose its identity, before that, renting a high-end carriage for a year, and waiting for things to have hope, and then customizing, is a relatively more reasonable choice, neither wasteful nor rude.
She persuaded Walter, and of course Klein, that it cost only £88 to rent a high-end carriage for a year with horses, and £42 for two wheels.
Sure enough, the person who controls household spending must be someone who is good at calculation...... Crane sighed with emotion, smiled at Tanea, nodded, and strode through the door of the three-story building.
This will be the next stage for the billionaire Dawn Dantès.
