Nearly half a month has passed since the last conversation.

Living on this Midsummer, he wakes up early every day, washes up and eats, reads some books on the ship in the morning, and secretly studies his attribute bar and new abilities.

In the afternoon, if the weather is good, I will run outside to bask in the sun and watch the sea, or I will take a book about marine fish and run to the back kitchen to compare them one by one.

Idle and bored, recently Charles began to learn to fish with an old sailor on the boat, and the results were quite fruitful, and two days ago he even caught a purple-eyed striped fish unique to the poisonous dragon sea.

This fish tastes like eating mango, and the taste is not very delicious, but it is quite a novelty.

He did the cooking himself, and after a bite, the whole fish was dumped in the trash - too much salt.

……

In his spare time, Charles occasionally chats with Connie, but this one does not appear every day, and every time he appears, he can benefit Charles a lot, and his unstable "foundation" is quickly solidified.

I don't know if this person is really simple, or if I feel that there is no need to hide some knowledge, except for a few questions, there are basically answers.

It's a pity that she doesn't know much, and under constant questioning, she has almost been "hollowed out" by Charles.

Compared to Connie, Zachary is a master who rarely appears, and it can even be said that he has basically never been seen on deck, except for every time he pulls Charles' hair.

Listening to Connie's meaning, it seems that he is preparing some powerful magic skills.

What kind of magic can be prepared for nearly a month?

Charles didn't know, but he was looking forward to it, as it would give him access to the high level of force in this world.

……

At first, Charles enjoyed the basic rules of daily life, but the more he got bored.

He thought about entering the shuttle door, but he couldn't see through Zachary's specific methods, so he didn't dare to be so reckless. It's quite mysterious to track the target that can't be hit with eight poles with his hair, who knows if he will find anything after the shuttle door appears?

But boredom is boring, and he doesn't have anything urgent to do.

The world of A Song of Ice and Fire is in a long hurry, and the family side of the Overworld doesn't need to worry about it either.

His master had gone out, the servants had been put on a long vacation, and the girl Anne had asked for a nun in the Church, who had a good heart and loved children from the bottom of her heart—to have real eyes, which could not be concealed from Charles.

The little angel on Anne's forehead has never dissipated, and because of this, her illness does not need to worry much about it for the time being.

This also makes Charles wonder, what kind of existence is the Church's spells, which can "create" legendary creatures with a wave of his hand, and does not require any consumption?

It's a pity that Connie doesn't hide anything else, but when it comes to spells, she just shakes her head.

"The church is very strict about this, sorry." She had said.

Charles understood.

The Church of Thorns is sometimes kind to its own people, but this kindness is indeed governed by a strict order.

Don't look at the time in Pita City, Brother Woody treats everyone with a gentle appearance, but the tone of his command of something cannot be refused.

The church is very order-oriented, and the distinction between superior and inferior seems to be loose, but in fact it is strict.

And as far as order is concerned, there seems to be nothing wrong with the distinction of each class.

"It's just that climbing up is too time-consuming......"

Life on the sea was day after day, and when the time reached two months after departure, they finally found their purpose.

……

July 1, 1835 in the new calendar.

While still asleep, Charles suddenly heard an excited shout, followed by a faint commotion.

He jerked to his feet, then listened carefully for a moment, and quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

When I came to the deck, there was no barrier, and the hazy sound was clear.

"Caught up, caught up!"

"Finally caught up, hahaha!"

"Two months......"

Emerging from the hatch of the ship, looking out at the night sky, under the light of kerosene lamps, many sailors jumped excitedly on the deck.

In the captain's room, the captain of the Midsummer laughed at the helm. Brother Zachary stood beside him, staring at the sea in the distance.

There, black dots in the shape of an island were faintly visible in the moonlight.

"Come closer." Zachary said.

So the captain commanded the helmsman and sailors to increase their firepower, and the sails that were not usually used were tightened, black smoke billowed out, and the steamer began to pick up speed, and gradually, the small black dot at the end of the line of sight became clearer.

As far as the eye could see, it was an island of rainforest, black in the darkness of dawn with a strange glow of green.

From the outside, the island looks nothing out of the ordinary, quiet, lifeless except for the plants.

It's just that Zachary seems to be very sure of this, and his eyes are fixed on it. The surface of the body gradually began to light up with special chains of secret texts, and the white light penetrated the clothes, clearly visible in the night.

As it approached, the island visibly expanded, and at this time, Connie also walked out of the deck with a little difficulty, seeing this situation, she didn't dare to disturb Zachary, but walked to Charles's side curiously: "Caught up with the target?" ”

"Seems to be."

Charles nodded, leaning against the railing of the ship, looking at the island at the end of his sight.

The monk seemed to have a goal, but he didn't see anything different about the island.

Anyway, why did Brother Zachary chase the royal necromancer so hard?

Charles didn't understand and asked Connie, who didn't know either.

……

The Midsummer didn't get too close, and stopped at the signal of Brother Zachary, who was covered in light, and then saw him take off the gray trench coat he was wearing, revealing the white shirt and black trousers inside, and strolled to the end of the deck.

"He's going to cast a spell!"

Seeing this, Charles couldn't help but stare at him intently.

Not only him, but all the people who were still on deck were attracted to attention. However, it didn't take long for them to have to cover their eyes with their hands.

Facing the direction of the island, he closed his eyes and clasped his hands together in a prayer gesture, and the original glow of the monk's whole body suddenly expanded, and a large amount of white light burst out, this light did not follow the gradual process, and after it appeared, it was very dazzling, and the people who were watching him avoided their gaze.

In the light, Charles could vaguely see that the countless secret chains wrapped around Zachary's body seemed to leave his body, swirling around him, and then, a faint explosion appeared, and the light exploded after a certain level of light, and rushed into the sky with a bang.

The surrounding light was bright, and everyone's faces were illuminated by this sudden bright light.

Violent winds also appeared on the deck as a result. The wind was fierce, and a thin sailor hurriedly clinged to the side railing, while most of them also found a solid place to secure themselves, and stared hard but firmly at the location of Brother Zachary in the face of the strong wind.

Although Zachary had already turned into a light man shrouded in a pillar of light at this time, this situation was extremely difficult to encounter, and no one wanted to give up watching.

Charr did the same, his arms tightly inserted into the railing to hook himself in place, the wind blowing his hair tight, his eyes narrowing in the wind, but still stubbornly staring at the dazzlingly bright presence at the end of the deck.

At first glance, the light on the monk's body had turned into pillars of light and pierced into the sky, illuminating the surrounding sea level. The clouds overhead were swirling overhead, and then, the unthinkable!

The pillar of light penetrated, the gray clouds in the sky were forced to retreat, and the magnificent divine sound suddenly floated in, looking up, the golden light was scattered, and a hazy church scene gradually emerged, leaving everyone stunned.

"That's ...... Paradise? ”

Someone muttered beside him, but no one responded. Everyone was in a state of stupor.

The sailors who believed in the Lord of Thorns began to murmur prayers against the wind, but it was not long before they were forced to keep their mouths shut

Charles didn't do that, he just stared at the top of his head, looking expectant.

So under everyone's gaze, the image of the church continued to solidify, and finally, a stone angel statue in the hall suddenly came to life, and flapped its wings and flew out.

The angel had a handsome face and a tall body, wearing a white robe, and the three pairs of wings behind his back slowly stirred, and as it appeared, the divine voice in his ears became more obvious.

Majestic, solemn, and sacred.

In this case, it is impossible for the distant island to be discovered, so it is visible to the naked eye that the island quickly began to move at sea level, but in this regard, both the angel and Zachary who maintained the pillar of light "appeared" quite calm.

"What happens next?"

Charles secretly guessed.

Did you raise your hand and shoot a fierce pillar of light to smash the island? Or is it an angel with a giant sword swinging at the enemy from the sky? Or something else?

Charles's guess was exactly what he had guessed, and what happened after that was truly spectacular, but of a completely different nature than he had imagined.

Not long after it appeared, the giant angel actually pulled out a camera from behind his butt!

That old-fashioned, wooden box-like camera!

Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, the angel used his camera to move several times at the island that had escaped in a hurry, and finally flipped the switch.

A distinctly audible clicking sound came into my ears, accompanied by a sudden white expanse of the surrounding environment, which was even brighter than the middle of a sunny day.

Hidden in the darkness of the night, the Midsummer and the distant islands were illuminated by this light, as if daylight had fallen.

The sudden stimulus caused Charles to subconsciously close his eyes, but when he opened them again, the heavens and the camera angel were gone.

The pillar of light dissipated, the gray clouds converged, and the light on Zachary on the deck gradually dimmed and converged. As far as the eye can see, the distant islands have disappeared without a trace, and the surrounding sea is rapidly converging to fill the void, forming a large whirlpool.

The only proof of what had just happened was a black-and-white photograph, like a feather, that floated down from the sky and into the palm of the monk's hand under the gaze of the people.

"This ...... That's it? Charles muttered subconsciously.

"That's right." Someone next to him responded.

When she turned her head to look, she saw that it was Connie, her pale blonde hair was quite messy from the wind just now, and she was using her hands to retract them.

"Look silly." She winked at Charles as she groomed.

"I thought an angel would cast that kind of massive magic, or run to the judgment with a two-handed sword or something." Charles's tone was complicated.

"Don't be surprised, heaven needs to keep up with the times." Connie tried to make herself look experienced in order to save some face. But the residual expression on her face still made Charles see that she seemed to be a little unprepared for this.

"Heaven has all the good things in the world, cameras and ......"

……

Just as Connie whispered to Charkop, Zach Ryfu, who was standing at the end of the deck, made another move.

He looked down at the photograph in his hand for a moment, then snapped his fingers, and the tips of his fingers suddenly ignited a milky white flame.

Then, the flame was aimed at the black and white photograph, which was visible to the naked eye, and the photograph was ignited by the white flame.

Igniting from the corners and spreading gradually, the entire photograph is wrinkled, zoomed, and finally reduced to ashes.

It's just that just as the photo was about to completely turn into ashes, a figure suddenly fell from it.

It was a strange situation, it was a residue the size of a fingernail, but such a large person could fall out, Charles didn't see it very clearly, and in the blink of an eye, a man soaked in blood fell on the deck.

Zachary was not surprised by the appearance of this person at his feet, but smiled gently: "Phinex? I knew you weren't that easy to die. ”

"Bitch-raised Holy See mongrel, you just killed nearly five hundred of us!"

The man named Fenex looked up and grinned at Zachary, his bloody mouth looking extremely hideous.

In this regard, Zachary shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and was about to make a move, when Fenex suddenly smiled at his feet, and then his body swelled, and in the blink of an eye, a thick gray mist exploded.

The gray mist accompanied the flying and raging of internal organs and bone slag, and suddenly filled the entire deck, this fog seemed to be very corrosive, enveloping the body, the sailors on the deck couldn't help but cover their faces and cry out in pain, and the originally hard hardwood deck also made all kinds of snorting sounds, gradually becoming pitted.

"You've opened the Twist Gap!? Damn it! The royal family is so bold!! ”

Zachary was furious, and the chain of secret texts reappeared, and pure white light shrouded down, and in a few breaths, all the surrounding fog was dispersed and "cleaned", but there were already two people missing from the deck.

Connie and Charles!
