In the evening of the next day, the two of them successfully handed over the Breathing Stone to George. George also arranged for them to arrange an airship, and only waited three hours to board the boat and go straight to Jagenke.

Duck was concerned about the safety of flying at night, and George told him that it was perfectly safe with lights in the air and on the ground. All they had to do was bring the letter to Jacque.

"Bagpipe Castle is not far from Jacque, why don't you go?" said Duck to George.

George replied, "Because my friend is a troublesome fellow, and if we knew I was here, we wouldn't be able to do anything." ”

Darkch said: "How can it be troublesome to help you capture and keep the friends of the water system king Ice Slime?

"I have my troubles. ”

Isabella said unkindly, "My friend is a girl." ”

George was a little embarrassed: "Don't talk nonsense! you will know when you see it, and besides, I tell you again, no matter what, don't say I'm here!"

"Oh, oh!" Isabella raised her eyebrows with Duck as she imitated Duck's bad look, giggling and not paying attention.

Coming out of the Cult of Darkness, Duck and Isabella take to the streets hand in hand, going to eat at the restaurant recommended by George.

This is a rare relaxing and comfortable leisure time in the long journey of the two. They sat in a restaurant on the streets of Bagpipe Castle and sipped on a reindeer steak with a glass of wine. The lights were on outside, the streets were full of pedestrians, and dinner was coming to an end, but the beautiful night made people linger, and the two people, who were accustomed to seeing fire and blood, really didn't want to leave like this.

"It's a delicious venison, tender and juicy, just to my taste. Duck grinned and wiped the corners of his mouth with a snow-white napkin in Isabella's example, "And this vibe, high society, well, not bad." ”

Isabella covered her mouth and chuckled, "yes, it would be better if someone could use a knife and fork in a proper manner instead of grabbing it and stuffing it in their mouth." ”

"This shows the delicacy of the food in this shop," said Duck Zhengse, "and the iron rooster George pays for it, which adds even more color." ”

"So, you ordered the steaks other than 'near-born' next to each other? God, I thought there was a humanoid halberd whale sitting across from me. ”

"Hiccup—it's not bad, I don't really like bloody meat. I heard that the herring here is also good, and it will be tomorrow morning. George recommends canned herring, which is said to be a masterpiece of conscience here, so how about starting with it?"

"How about the big stomach king taste it first?"

"No problem. ”

At this moment, a believer in a black robe hurriedly walked through the door. The foreman saw the silver reverse cross on his chest, hurriedly greeted him, and after a few words, pointed to Darke's side, and the believer hurried over and asked humbly, "Mr. Dark, Miss Isabella?"

"Yes, what?"

"There is an urgent matter in the branch, and Elder George said that all plans have been cancelled, and the two of you are requested to return to the branch immediately. The carriage was at the door. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The Titans sank, with heavy casualties. ”

Isabella's knife fell on the plate with a thud.

Darker was also startled, and asked in a low voice, "What does this have to do with us?"

The believer's position in the branch was obviously high enough to have access to some secrets, and he replied in a low voice, "The cause of the shipwreck is strange, and the Cult of Light is preparing to investigate the survivors. ”

Duck nodded, got up decisively, pulled Isabella, who was still in a daze, and followed the believer back to the branch quickly.

As soon as he walked to the door of George's room, he heard George's angry roar: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible! Even if the temperature is higher than usual, it is impossible to form such a huge iceberg in that sea area!"

He was answered by a calm old man: "But it is so, and we can only accept it, unless, the navy of New Tenotiran lied - what is the need for them to do this, especially to us?"

"I'm sorry, Master West, I just lost my temper, I just, just ......"

"I know that something has gone wrong nine times out of ten, and it's as incredible as the heavens and the earth have been turned upside down. But aren't we here to deal with the unthinkable? Please stay calm, there is still a lot of work to be done. ”

"Yes, as you said, this is the case, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only accept it, but I will remember this frustration, and there will be no more in the future!

Duck and Isabella pushed the door open.

There were only George and Alchemist West in the room, the curtains were tightly blocked, and the floor was sprinkled with broken glass, which seemed to be an innocent cup.

Duck and Isabella greeted West, who exchanged a few words of greeting and immediately turned to the topic: "The completion rate of the two of them is 100 percent, Elder George has summoned the two of them back, there is a very urgent task, please be sure to listen to the mission briefing." ”

The two of them sat precariously. West began to give a briefing.

"The Titan, an ultra-luxury cruise ship built by Lightstar Company with a huge amount of investment, set sail from Jagenk the morning before yesterday and sank by an iceberg off the coast of Cuyast at about eleven o'clock last night. So far, less than one-third of the ship's 2,224 passengers have survived. ”

The number made Duck stand up in shock, and he couldn't believe why this was exactly the same as the terrible story George told! He looked at George in astonishment, but George shook his head with an ugly face, and motioned for him to sit down and listen.

"It took about two hours from the time it hit the iceberg to its complete sinking, during which time the Titans sent out numerous distress messages, but for an hour long, not a single ship received them, not including the nearest Ara Rim cruise ship, which was less than 20 nautical miles away, and the New Tenotiran Naval Fleet Pagziano and Stana, which were 65 nautical miles away and had come to Jagenk for military exchanges. ”

Duck couldn't help but ask: "Can the naval communications of the New Tenotiran Navy detect 65 nautical miles away?"

West explained: "It is not surprising that Ramos, the chief alchemist of New Tennotiran, is now the tallest of Mr. Nicholas, and that the navy is the focus of the new country, and that the detection distance is excellent. ”

"Understood, and then what?"

"The Titans found that all long-range communications could not be sent, more than an hour had passed, and they had to use the old-fashioned distress fireworks, and the nearby ships found the abnormality and rushed to the rescue, but they were unable to return to the sky, two hours later, two warships of the new special country entered the scene and rescued 630 people, and then the ships that came one after another after careful search rescued more than 70 people. ”

Isabella's expression was gloomy, and she forced a smile: "I rushed 65 nautical miles in two hours, and the warship of the new country is simply flying." ”

George also forced a smile: "Yes, and their heroic actions have reversed the image of the Southern Jungle as a savage and bloodthirsty country. It's a good start for the rest of the work, right? ”

West sighed lightly and said, "But the strange thing is that all the ships that entered the search and rescue site said that no icebergs were found. In order to prevent the search and rescue ships from entering the field from colliding, the warships of the new special country even released iron dragonflies to conduct a comprehensive search, but still no icebergs were found. ”

Duck muttered, "One hour of contact was lost, and then the iceberg disappeared, could there be any connection between the two things?"

"So we have to do an in-depth investigation of the survivors. ”

"Yes, no one knows what happened for that whole hour except the survivors. If there is a certain technology that can completely isolate the magic energy fluctuations of the communication circle, it is equivalent to being able to effortlessly create a vast area of completely forbidden demon realm, and if there is a certain technology that can control the iceberg to rise and sink freely, it is equivalent to completely controlling the vast sea area of the North Sea, which will definitely become the target of the Cult of Light. ”

"Understood, the mission is to investigate the truth and prevent the Cult of Light from acquiring these two technologies as much as possible?"

"Yes. ”

"However, there are hundreds of survivors, how can they be investigated one by one?"

"The navy of the new special country did not understand the situation and let the people go to the shore. The vast majority of the survivors have been controlled by the Cult of Light in the name of relief. However, the search for the Cult of Light is getting stronger and stronger. ”

"They must have found something, and they must not have found what they were looking for. ”

"Yes, the last survivors will be disembarking in an hour at the main pier of the floating island of Rolle, where the Cult of the Illuminati has already begun to deploy its staff. ”

"Immediate action must be taken, what about our strength over there?"

"It's fragile, and I can't stand up to the Cult of Light. Cover can be provided. ”

"Does no one care how the survivors feel, do they just want to use them and squeeze their last bit of value out?"

Isabella's sudden words stunned the three big men.

Darker suddenly remembered that Isabella was also a shipwreck survivor in the first place.

He gently put his arm around her shoulder, and she struggled hard, but she couldn't break free, so he had to go.

Duck whispered, "Only the pain is the greatest happiness we can give them, and the blood and ferocity in the deeper part of the pain are suppressed by us dark believers!"

Isabella cried silently.

Duck held Isabella in one hand and reached out to George with the other: "Bring it!"

"What?"

"It's a symbol of our status, the kind of symbol that whoever you see and say, 'Ah, that's here, we're not going to die'!"

George solemnly handed the two badges to Darker. These are two Ugin reverse crosses strung with silver bead chains, with a goat's head relief in the center of the front and a different backing on the back, Dark's is a warhammer and Isabella's is a scroll.

"The badges of the Dark Warrior and the Dark Priest, as long as you show it, the cultists will know who you are. Now, Dark, immediately rush to the Clinton Cargo Lodge on the floating island of Rolle to investigate the survivors. ”

"Isn't Isabella going?"

"She has other important arrangements, please go now. ”

"Yes. ”
