Chapter 65: The Ark of the Covenant
The Golden Deer finally came ashore.
In Captain Drake's words: It can't be worse anyway, it's better to gamble. If you can win, you'll be fine.
The closer you get to each other, the more you can clearly feel the magic of each other. They didn't hide their thoughts at all, they just got together three of them.
Atalanta covered her face and cried bitterly, and the green-haired man beside her tried to reach out and gently stroke her hair or shoulders several times, but she nimbly avoided her. Artemis tried to get close to her, but she dodged her.
It seemed that she was really hurt deeply.
Yes, for believers, there is no greater sorrow than the collapse of faith. This is especially true of a devout person like Atalanta.
What's even more terrifying is that he obviously believes in the goddess of [anti-harmony], why did he suddenly become with an inexplicable man...... Male bears are mixed together, and they are all in love all day long!
As soon as they saw the Chaldeans coming, the green-haired male hurriedly greeted them: "It's Chaldean!" Come on, come on! There's something urgent! Let's stop crying for Miss Atta! ”
Fujimaru Rika was confused, but seeing the young lady with cat ears squatting on the ground crying, especially the ears and tail were still shaking, the unbearable desire to stroke suddenly rose in her heart, and she squatted over, she rubbed her hair and ears half-playfully.
"What's wrong?"
She asked Atalanta softly.
When Yagi Yukisai saw her go, he asked the same question to the other two servants.
"Huh? What's wrong...... It shouldn't be anything, huh? I don't remember anything in particular that I cried about. ”
The green-haired youth said so.
"Yes, yes, little Atalanta, it's so emotional! I really don't understand why I'm crying. ”
Artemis had the same attitude, poking his fingers into his lips and rolling his eyes upwards as if he was trying to think.
Orion, the doll bear lying on top of her head, hung his head widely: "You two really don't know or pretend to be confused!" ”
Orion made a small jump, jumped off Artemis's head, and flew over Matthew's chest.
Yagi Yukisai reached out in mid-air and caught him.
"So, what's wrong?"
"Eh......"
I guess I didn't expect to be caught, right? Orion the Doll Bear froze for a moment, but still explained to everyone in a whisper what had happened.
The green-haired young man is named David. It is the owner of the statue of David made by Michelangelo. Legend has it that the king of Israel and the father of King Solomon.
is a ...... Well...... A shepherd-turned-king.
Judging by his mental outlook and dress, it is estimated that he was not yet the successor to the king.
King David and Artemis, the god of the moon, are both lone servants summoned by this peculiarity.
Because of Orion's ability to walk on water, the two men began to take this peculiar point as a honeymoon trip, and began to walk island by island, just in time to meet the trapped King David.
Wait a minute? Before going on, isn't this moon god not very good? Isn't it a little too subtle? What a honeymoon is! Why do you have to go on a honeymoon trip at a special point!
Atalanta, on the other hand, was originally summoned by a ship. Later, because of a decisive disagreement with the people on the ship, he jumped ship and fled.
She escaped to King David's island by swimming.
In other words, is this an example of a feline that is not afraid of water?
In short, these three people got together based on coincidence.
Atalanta knew the enemy's plans, and King David, by special coincidence, held what the enemy needed most.
Ark of the Covenant.
The holy relics of Israel, according to legend, are the ark of oaths made with God.
All they had to do was find the Ark of the Covenant and offer it a deity.
"That is, similar to a sacrifice? Gain power through sacrifice, or fulfill wishes? ”
Yagi Yukisai asked curiously after hearing this.
"How is that possible. The Ark of the Covenant is only a symbol of the covenant made by God and man, and there is no such thing as the ability to fulfill wishes. As a treasure, it can only be said that it is very weak! It's just that the people who come into contact with it will die. It can't be spiritualized.,If I die.,As long as there is a holder, you can continue to keep it.,In short, it's a very troublesome treasure.。 ”
King David smiled and joked.
"What's the situation...... Actually, you want to sacrifice the gods to the Ark of the Covenant?! ”
On the other side of the communication, Dr. Romani made an incredulous voice.
"That kind of thing, that kind of thing is not ...... It's not ......"
His tone was staccato and staccato, as if he was genuinely unwilling to accept the conclusion.
"What? Isn't that normal? Or is this guy here not willing to believe it? That worst ending. ”
King David narrowed his eyes, said with a smile, and spread his hands evenly, looking casual.
"Doctor? What happens when you offer the gods to the Ark of the Covenant? ”
Yagi asked.
"I'll answer it. The answer is, yes. ”
King David spoke with a relaxed face on a cruel topic.
"Touching the Ark of the Covenant is a sacrifice by the power of the covenant. And no matter what era it is, if the gods are dedicated to the gods, the concept of "gods die" will be born. At that time, the Ark of the Covenant will get out of control, and if it were the real world, it would probably form a rather huge dead domain. ”
But for this kind of peculiarity that is already unstable, this kind of thing is equivalent to...... Yes, it's like destroying the world. The world will disappear. ”
Dr. Romani took King David's words and added, his iron-blue face could be imagined just by listening to it.
"Well, in other words, the enemy's goal is to destroy the world?"
Yukisai Yagi tried to summarize.
"That's how it turned out."
King David nodded, agreeing with the answer.
"However, that man, Iason, firmly believes that by offering the gods to the Ark of the Covenant, he will be able to reign in this sea, and he will be able to create a royal paradise and turn the world into a perfect world as he wishes."
Atalanta cried and cried, still crying in her tone, but it was noticeably better.
She tilted her head a little embarrassed and pulled her ear out of Rika Fujimaru's hand.
"Hmm...... Recognizing mistakes? Wow, what a guy who can't laugh. ”
Before Yagi Yukisai finished speaking, he heard a sudden scream behind him: "You say! Iason?! ”
The one who screamed was Medea, who always showed herself as a cold witch.
The witch's eyes widened, and her eyes almost erupted with blood-colored flames.
"That guy, is it also in this peculiarity!!
When Atalanta heard the voice, she realized that Medea was also in the group, and she wiped away her tears gratefully.
"Medea?! You...... Forget it, you're better than Iason. ”
Atalanta shook her head and looked at the Chaldeans:
"Let me tell you first, although Iasong is a very weak and scumbag person, there is no doubt that the servants under his command are extremely terrifying. There is Miss Medea, who is good at magic...... He looked much younger than her. and Hector, who is good at defensive warfare, and ...... Hercules. ”
Atalanta had told him all about the tricky characters in Iason's fleet, and suddenly noticed that one of the Chaldeans was looking at her with strange eagerness.
"That...... What's wrong with me? ”
She asked the brawny man with the drill in his hand.
"Hmm! I can't take it anymore! What a woman! Please be sure to 'fight' me once!! ”
