The sky at noon was clear and clear, and it looked clean and tidy, and it was blue.

The surrounding air is also very clear, although there is a fishy smell peculiar to the seaside town, but compared to the usual stuffy smell, the environmental quality is obviously not at the same level.

However, the traces after the rainy night are not all good, and some of the mess is still fully exposed on the earth.

As the horses rode through the docks of Hull Town, the sound of hooves hitting the ground sent bursts of mud flying in all directions.

A young man with a game nickname floating on his head next to him was splashed with a large patch of mud on his pants, but the person concerned didn't care about it at all, and followed honestly, like a loyal and sloppy follower.

On the contrary, Bishop Rhodes next to him couldn't help but look disgusted as he glanced with his eyes.

However, Rhodes now values Bernie's words more than these "evil spirits".

"New world, new future. This quote comes from a company called Newcastle United Trading. ”

Bernie, on horseback, interprets a "code" that the Sea Clan has passed on through the two players.

"This company was founded two years ago, and I was one of the early participants who quit some time ago before I came to the Land of Glory."

"Why quit?" Bishop Rhodes asked.

He was not too familiar with the word company, but vaguely understood that it was a kind of "chamber of commerce" formed by some businessmen, and there seemed to be something else in it, which belonged to a new thing born in the outer continent in recent years.

But that didn't stop him from understanding the meaning of Bernie's words.

"There's no particular reason."

Bernie shrugged his shoulders and said, "The creation of this company was originally a joke, the first few participants were usually idle and had nothing to do, and the company never made a profit, but always invested money in it. ”

"Input?"

"It's a company, but it's actually an adventure group."

"Since it was founded, it didn't make a living, but it has been sponsoring explorers to explore beyond the known world," Bernie said. ”

"It doesn't sound like it involves the Sea Clan." Bishop Rhodes frowned when he heard this.

He didn't suspect that Bernie was lying about it, because neither Bernie's identity nor many of his past actions had any reason to hide anything from it.

But it's a strange thing.

After suffering a defeat, the Sea Clan didn't want to fight back, and did not make other remedies, but passed on a code message through various channels......

Is it a rebellion? Or is it pulling the relationship? Or is it simply a discord?

They apparently thought that the code would have some effect.

However, listening to Bernie's account at this time, Rhodes did not notice anything special in this.

"Actually, it is involved, unlike the Shining Lands, the merchants of Newcastle have always had a good relationship with the Sea Tribe, because they want to trade all over the world, and they can't do without the sea."

Bernie answered the bishop's questions.

"And exploring the new world also requires the cooperation of the Sea Clan, so we didn't bother to get in touch with the Sea Clan's higher-ups before."

"Of course, the relationship wasn't close, at least not until I quit. I don't know why it is valued by the Sea Clan now. “

Hearing this, Rhodes pondered, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Since this is the case, you don't need to pay attention to them, I will send someone to investigate this matter." But at the same time, we need to be prepared that if the Sea Tribes don't get feedback after passing this sentence, they may take other actions. ”

Bernie nodded.

Seeing this, Rhodes said: "You don't have to worry too much about this, your ability is helpful to the overall battle situation, so your safety is already something we need to deal with." I've written to the top to report all this, and I haven't responded yet, but it won't be long before someone from above will be sent to protect you. ”

"I'm bothered by the Bishop." Bernie is grateful for that.

"It's a matter of course, and if things go well, I want to thank you because it will save a lot of lives." Saying this, Bishop Rhodes sighed inexplicably as if he had thought of something.

"It's been a year of many disasters......"

Then he seemed to lose the interest in continuing to speak, and instead focused on inspecting the docks, or rather, the casualties of the Sea Clan.

Seeing this, Bernie didn't say anything more, his eyes scanning the pile of fish-man corpses, and his mind was still thinking about the previous sentence.

Or rather, thinking about why the Sea Clan passed that sentence.

He didn't lie to Rhodes about this, the company called Newcastle United Trading was indeed a ticket-playing existence.

However, what Bernie didn't say was that this ticket-playing company was actually established under his secret guidance.

A new world, a new future.

This sentence does not hold true with him, as a person who has seen the "emperor", the whole picture of this world is not a secret to him at all.

So that kind of exploration is just urging some forces to discover certain existences.

Judging from the reaction of the Sea Clan at this time, the United Trading Company should have discovered something that attracted their attention.

But that didn't end well......

In fact, there was no noticeable change in this matter for a short time, so Bernie didn't think about it for too long and left it behind.

After touring the hull town with Bishop Rhodes, Bernie returns to Gülen Chapel and plans to enter the world of the Black Mist to settle some other matters.

Now that the situation has changed, considering that the Sea Clan may make some other moves, there should be danger in the coming period.

But as Rhodes claimed, he didn't have to think much about it.

As he has shown his worth in this war, the corresponding security aspect has become a matter for the higher echelons of the church.

This kind of consideration is actually more troublesome, because if you want to give full play to Bernie's ability, you can't keep him away from the battle, and it will be convenient for the Sea Clan to do something.

Like assassination and the like.

However, Bernie's entry into the Black Mist World is not something to solve, and it has nothing to do with the Sea Clan invasion at all.

The situation seems complicated to some, but it is very clear to him.

If the Sea Clan might fail to target him next, then he would naturally be able to take advantage of the situation and use the Refining Ritual to quickly accumulate merit and gain promotion.

And if the Sea Clan's next possible actions are successful, he will be able to remedy it in a reasonable way, and then accumulate credit and get promoted with more momentum.

The difficulty in this matter is not the success of the Sea Clan, nor the development of the overall battle situation, but how to create a stage for him to exert his abilities.

Now that the stage has been successfully built and his ability has been initially shown, then he doesn't need to bother to think about other aspects, he just needs to watch the play quietly and take advantage of the trend.
