Chapter 269: The True Meaning of Osiris

For the fourth time, Maffeo has walked the trail that leads to the northern beaches of the island, which stretches from the harbor to the northern beaches, and further afield is the only place of faith on the island, a church surrounded by rocky cliffs. Pen ร— fun ร— Pavilion www. ๏ฝ‚๏ฝ‰๏ฝ‘๏ฝ•๏ฝ‡๏ฝ…ใ€‚ info But people here seem to have been in business for a long time, and the so-called faith has become money, and they have become more and more realistic. The clergy had long since left, and for those who had renounced their faith, they decided not to give them the blessings of the gods.

The harbor is located in a small concave corner, and the rocky cliffs of the fortnight obstruct almost all the view, so Maffeo had to choose the northern beach with a better view of the sea. The Black Shark's guns were almost ready, and Kohler had already begun to release the news that Adrian had obtained the so-called treasure. Whether Captain Damon will believe it or not is another matter.

After being harassed by the almost ubiquitous mosquitoes in the jungle, Maffeo finally led Walter to the northern beaches. Honestly, he never wanted to walk this ghost road where even a goat could break his leg, but it was the fourth time he had passed it. Since no one can be sure that Captain Damon will be here before the news is released, it is necessary to keep an eye on the situation at sea.

Adrian gave Maffeo two things that would come in handy, a monocular, and a crossbow, though Maffeo wasn't used to using them. And he had to admit that he was very poor at using a firing weapon, and he had been reluctant to use Freya's automatic pistol, believing that he would not be able to hit even a target as large as a cow.

The only thing left on the empty beach was land crabs and some oddly shaped shells, the old ones, who would keep scurrying up to Maffeo's boots, and the latter would grab them in annoyance and throw them away. But it was different for Walter, who yelled at the land crabs every time they approached, so Maffeo had to help him chase away the annoying land crabs.

After reassuring Walter, Maffeo was finally able to pull out his telescope and observe the situation in the nearby seas. Truth be told, in such a place with a good view, it is easy to see a ship at sea with the naked eye, but it is necessary to identify the color of their sails, the hull structure and some of the strange patterns that captains like to carve on their sails.

Maffeo first observed the nearby waters with his naked eye, and there were indeed ships, but he did not think that it would be Captain Damon's fleet. So he didn't care when he held up the binoculars, and sure enough, the ships that appeared in the binoculars were all merchant ships preparing to do business close to the vineyards, and they didn't pose any threat.

A lot of times it's like now, and nothing comes of observation. So usually after about ten minutes of observation, Maffeo's patience will be exhausted. A war broke out between him and the land crabs, and Maffeo would grab shells from the beach and smash them at them, while Walter seemed to be a cheering person, constantly cheering for Maffeo with his cries.

"Did you find anything?" the voice came from the very top of the tree closest to the beach.

Maffeo followed the prestige, and Fett, cloaked, was sitting on the leaning trunk of a coconut tree, looking this way. "Every time you show up, you don't move. โ€

"Hiding is always the best. โ€

"It's a pity that you chose the wrong target, I am not your enemy. Maffeo spread his hands.

"It's not funny at all. โ€

"Anyway, you've won again. If I were an enemy, I would die. Frustrated, Maffeo hung the telescope back on his waist.

Fett jumped out of the tree trunk and walked straight for Walter. The latter no longer had the same hostility as it had seen Fett a few days earlier, and it took two steps forward, its trademark tail wagging incessantly. Fett finally showed a shallow expression of tenderness, smiling as she stroked Walter's head, who was trying to lift his head and try to lick Fett's palm with his tongue.

"Walter looks like he's going to change owners. Maffeo grunted disapprovingly.

"Are you angry?"

"No, that's good, really. "Maffeo wasn't really angry, he was just complaining.

"So, what did you find?" said Fitt again, the question he had wanted to ask in the first place.

Maffeo turned his gaze to the sea, looked at the whale leaping out of the sea in the distance, and shook his head. "No, they didn't show up. I don't like that, and if they end up showing up without warning, it's a disaster for us. โ€

"Do you have any concerns?"

"I've had a lot of strange things happen to me in the past few months. Whether it's the Flame of Truth, the Violent Raiders, or the damned Osiris, everything is so weird. But when I think about it, they don't seem to have anything to do with each other. Maffeo recounted everything he had encountered in the past few months, but of course, he did not mention his acquaintance with Elias, the captain of the Aucente garrison, and he was not sure if Fitt knew him as well, nor was he sure that Fitt and Elias were enemies.

However, Fett's attention was clearly out of Walter's attention after Maffeo finished speaking, and she stood up and walked quickly to Maffeo's side. "What did you just say? Osiris?"

"Yes, Osiris, do you know something?" said Maffeo, turning his head to look at Fett, only to notice that the other man's face was full of surprise.

Fett was a little speechless, she didn't know how to speak, so Maffeo believed that Osiris might be a complicated title for Fett. "How do you know Osiris?"

"Well, I met a woman in Aucente more than two months ago named Margarita. The name Osiris came from her mouth, it sounded like some kind of faith, and she said that she was looking for some "ring", and I didn't know what it was. โ€

"Margarita?" said Fett, incredulous.

Her expression was strong, and Maffeo rightfully noticed. "What's wrong?"

"She's the most wanted fugitive in the Delos Empire, and Captain Root wants to find her and convince her to join the Revolutionary Army, she must be very capable, so she might be of great help to us. โ€

This time it was Maffeo's turn to be surprised, he never thought that Margarita would be the most wanted fugitive in the Delos Empire, and this level of wanted at least meant that Margarita had committed something that could alarm the upper echelons of the Empire. And he had spent most of the day with this woman, and the thought that she might be a hidden poisonous snake made Maffeo shudder. "Oh my God, this ...... Is this true?"

Fett nodded without hesitation, "Natalia also wanted to recruit her to join the Oracle Legion, but she has never been found. I can tell you more, Osiris is a curse, and for those who are loyal to it, it can indeed count as faith. I'm sure you've heard the name Belou Ri Grantz from her. โ€

"That's right. โ€

"It's a story that belongs to it. Fett sat down on the beach, and Walter lay obediently beside her, as if he understood that now was not the time to shout. "Osiris, perhaps also call him the King of Hades. We have studied the information about him, and it is said that the ancient king Borodin was his loyal follower. Belou Ri Grantz betrayed Borodin, overthrew his rule, and then dismissed all those who believed in Osiris Hades as heretics, just as we are now regarded as heretics by the Empire. Fett stretched out her left hand, and although the black glove wrapped around her palm and arm, a faint light blue glow emanated through the glove.

"These things have been repeated countless times in history. Maffeo could understand Fett's thoughts.

Fett reluctantly and resentfully lowered his arm and continued: "Belou Ri Grantz established a new dynasty, and then he established the law of "whoever believes in Osiris, the king of Hades, will destroy the three tribes". In this regard, he is like the dog emperor Heinrich, a damn rat. Because this law was enforced throughout the time of Beloรซ, Osiris disappeared for a long time. Of course, just like us, believers in Osiris will not perish. โ€

"They showed up again. โ€

"That's right, we believe that Margarita is a member of the Praetorian Knights who guarded Osiris, the king of Hades. Of course, this is not recognized by the so-called official, that is, by the Delos Empire. So their existence has so far been secretive, but they will not give up their faith. I don't know exactly what the "ring" was, but it must have been something that was incredibly important to them. โ€

All the stories like this are mysterious, like an old legend that haunts Maffeo's mind. Like Kazan, for Margarita, Osiris is the shadow of her heart, but the two have very different attitudes. Margarita believed in Osiris as a god, while Maffeo had nothing but disgust with Kazan.

According to Fett, they will only operate in secret. So they don't easily expose themselves to the public eye, but Margarita appears in Aucente and leaves a trail that is enough for others to discover. At the very least, it would prove that what she wanted might actually be in Orcente, or maybe it was just a trap set by the Delos Empire to lure them out. Because they have been trying to eliminate all kinds of forces that threaten them, and this is their style.
