Chapter 17: The North Sea Monster

When Duck hurried back to the Cult of Darkness at Bagpipe Castle, he happened to run into George, and he asked, "Have you found anyone?"

George said: "You came back just in time, the people have come back, Hikstu has just left, Isabella has just returned." Our luck was amazing. ”

Duck was taken aback: "Graveyard Broken Bird Man? From which pit did he come from? He, a Holy Envoy of the God of Light, came to us to beg for a beating?"

Duck didn't have any good feelings about the wrecked Hixtu, and even though the two sides established a temporary cooperative relationship in Alcatraz World War I, Hikstu tried his best to help Isabella, but it was still difficult to hide Duck's anger.

A woman who dares to touch Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu is not finished with you!

George Ha smiled: "It's been so long, and you still hate him? If it weren't for him, you and the little priest would have been able to get together? Besides, people came this time, but they wiped your ass." ”

Duck was stunned: "What do you say?"

"It's not like you're chasing someone and getting lost? Hickstu handled the rest of the matter neatly, which is the same as in Snell Harbor. Let's come inside. ”

The two of them entered the house and sat down, and Master West and Isabella were still in the room. George said, "I'll sort out the whole incident, Isabella investigated the three libraries in the North Sea, Master West and I conducted a further analysis of the shipwreck process, plus," he put a small bag on the table, "Hickstu sent this key item from the shipwreck survivors, we can basically determine the next course of action." More fortunately, Hikstu made a request for cooperation. As he spoke, he pushed a note to Dark, "Hickstu's handwritten letter. I saw this before I let him in. ”

Duck unfolded it and saw that it was a fancy font, and he frowned for a long time before he understood: "Help...... I...... Whenβ€”the Pope?"

Duck laughed and almost fell out of his chair, wiping tears from his eyes as he said, "Be the Pope?" Why didn't he say that he would help him be the god of light?"

'He's become more ambitious, smarter, and that's good. I'm going to bet on him. ”

Duck was taken aback: "You're not serious, are you?"

To his surprise, Master West was also bowing slightly, and even Isabella did not object.

"Why?"

"He made a condition that we couldn't refuse, very close to the goal in my heart. ”

"What is it?"

He said that there is no beauty in the dazzling noon and the cold night, but the sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful times, which is a concerto of light and darkness. ”

Seeing Duck frowning, George said, "If one day, the Dark God Cult replaces the position of the Light God Cult, will you declare the other party a cult and hunt down all its members?"

"Crazy?"

"Now that the Cult of Light is doing this, we can justifiably take revenge when the time comes. ”

"But it doesn't produce peace. We'll become another Cult of the Illuminati, more technologically advanced, more brutal, more tightly controlledβ€”and then fall faster. ”

George rubbed his hands happily: "Beautiful, you got to the point." He simply stood up and said excitedly: "What is the source of our strength, it is advanced technology, it is the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people with the high-handed policy of the Illuminati, in other words, we symbolize the 'destruction' and 'destruction' of the old order. So, assuming that the Cult of the Illuminati is completely wiped out in the end, what can we destroy, and what can we destroy? Dissatisfaction and destruction can overthrow an old world, but they cannot build a new one. And the Cult of the Illuminati has a knack for maintaining order and calming people's hearts. ”

"Aren't you afraid of the skin of the tiger?"

"Oh, such a crepe silk country ancient saying has also been spoken, Isabella has contributed a lot - now there are more and more problems within the Cult of Light, you see, Hickstu is the beginning, in the future, there will be more opposition within the Cult of Light. When the opposition is strong enough to wage war against the traditional forces, it will be the end of those 'hypocrites' and the beginning of a new era. ”

Duck clasped his hands on his chest: "Although it doesn't sound very reliable, it still feels like seeing the station and the dock, and it's not bad." We'll keep going with youβ€”it can't be worse than it is now, can we?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Black Knight," George was obviously in a good mood, smiling and waving his hand, "Come on, tell me about the shipwreck." ”

The crowd gathered around.

"The shipwreck is no accident. Isabella, tell me about your findings. ”

"I surveyed three libraries and consulted several editions of the local chronicles. It invariably mentions the 'North Sea Monster'. ”

Duck asked, "Isn't it the ancient sea devil, the epic creature Farrakhan?"

"Some accounts confuse them, but most divide them into two creatures, and, unlike the legend of Farrakhan, the accounts of the 'North Sea Trolls' never stop. ”

"What the hell is that?"

"Most records believe that it has a body of 100 meters long, huge tentacles, a solid shell, and a long lifespan, and is an irresistible existence for human beings, and the embodiment of disaster. ”

"A combination of a turtle and an octopus? You don't mean to say that it sank the Titan, do you?"

"It's not impossible. ”

"What about the evidence?"

Isabella turned to West, who pushed a huge sapphire pendant over: "This is a treasure called the 'Heart of the Ocean' that Hicks personally sent to show the sincerity of the alliance. It can isolate the fluctuation of magical energy within a certain range, and it is not directly related to the 'North Sea Troll' or the sinking of the Titan. ”

Duck took it and looked at it twice, but he couldn't see anything strange, and said, "You mean, the North Sea Monster killed the Titans for it, so why don't you take it?"

"This gem is actually a special man-made mineral, and its structure is very similar to that of the Breathing Stone," says George. We have every reason to suspect that they came from the same alchemists. The North Sea Monster is also the work of these alchemists. ”

West said: "The 'Heart of the Ocean' is not an ordinary piece of jewelry, it can absorb the fluctuations of magic energy within hundreds of square meters in the vicinity, and then convert it into another fluctuation of fixed frequency and continuously emit it. ”

"A signal transmitter, similar to the principle of a slime communication tower?"

"Almost. Since its discovery, it has been collected by dignitaries and used as a talisman. ”

"Amulet?"

"Because it absorbs fluctuations of magical energy, it's like creating a forbidden realm, a weapon to use against the legal profession - this is a misinterpretation of its role. ”

Isabella said, "Actually, this 'Heart of the Sea' has another name, 'Stone of Doom'. ”

Darker was not calm: "The Stone of Doom?"

"Yes. In the more than 1,000 years since its discovery in the 4th century, it has had forty or fifty owners, each of whom has suffered a different fate. ”

Dark's cold sweat flowed: "Then what are we keeping it for!"

West comforted, "Don't worry, young man, there are no unexplained problems for alchemists. As I said earlier, it will continue to emit fluctuations of a fixed frequency, and the human body does not like such fluctuations, and over time, the body will become weak and the spirit will be weakened. As a result, the likelihood of an accident is greatly increased. ”

"I see, since it's harmful to people, what's the use of it?"

"In the early days, it didn't have a pendant, which means that although it was beautiful, it wasn't meant to be worn. It's more like a key to some kind of trap. ”

"Trap?Key?, then, what is the intention of its constant magic energy fluctuations......"

"The guard, it's telling the guard if he's in the right place. The guard is the North Sea Monster. ”

Duck's facial muscles twitched.
