Chapter 271: The Abandoned Church
Kohler didn't say a word as he watched the Black Shark set sail and departed, what he knew, all the guys knew. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf Captain Damon's fleet does land on the Vineyard Island, it will be difficult to guarantee that he will survive the battle with them. But for him, it was satisfying to see the Black Shark sailing the seas again.
Maffeo's plans were revised by Sebastian to the point where they were almost seamless, and many of the island's captains stepped on their ships after seeing the Black Shark anchor, and then desperately scolded his helmsmen to quickly lift anchor and keep sailing behind the Black Shark. Whether Captain Damon will believe it or not is another matter. But what is certain is that all the guys expect him to believe it, because it's a matter of success or failure of the plan.
The Black Shark doesn't have enough guns to compete with Captain Damon's fleet, but she has the fastest speed of any ship here. According to the information provided by Kohler about Captain Damon's fleet, even his flagship was not as fast as the Black Shark, which was Adrian's only advantage at sea. If you can quickly escape from the range of the opponent's mortar artillery, then you can easily lead the opponent to Osent.
For Maffeo and Kohler, as well as Fett, who remained on the island, all they had to do was wait. It was unclear whether Captain Damon would land some of his men on the island to search the island, but Khloe was fully prepared. He had already hired a considerable number of the island's mercenaries, and all they wanted was money, so it wouldn't take much effort to hire them.
"Are you sure they're going to be here?" Fett asked, still unsure.
"The captains' favorite thing is money. Maffeo's answer was ambiguous.
"And what captain would take such a risk for a treasure that may not even exist?"
"It is precisely because of his fanatical pursuit of treasure that he will not take any risks. And, I'm sure it's never wrong for them to confirm it with their own eyes. What's more, even if the island doesn't have the treasure they want, they can plunder it. Maffeo replied based on what Kohler had told him.
Fett frowned slightly, she didn't like such an uncertain situation. "Well, your answer is not unreasonable, so I'll wait. ”
"Thank you. ”
The familiar and long-lost feeling surged back into Maffeo's heart, and the demon in his heart was ready to move. Normally, when this happens, it is facing the enemy, but this time it is different, it appears without warning, and it does not have the usual bloody excitement. The sudden burning sensation made Maffeo uncomfortable, and the sensation of tearing skin enveloped his body, and he soon broke into a sweat under the scorching sun. "What the hell ......"
Kazan's voice was no longer as provocative as before, "It's funny. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It seems that those weird guys are not talking nonsense. ”
"What? I don't know what you mean. ”
"Use your brain, something about the apostles......"
Maffeo looked back at the rock-clad cathedral on the cliff in the distance, his movements almost subconscious, so he didn't know what was worth observing. But after a few seconds he understood that it was a signal from Kazan to himself, and it was indeed different, it looked strange, as if something was attracting it there.
Fett, who was on the side, seemed to notice Maffeo's strange appearance, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, what the hell......"
"That guy?" Fett said, gesturing to Maffeo's heart.
"Yes. Maffeo nodded, he wasn't going to hide it, it didn't make any sense.
"I will keep an eye on the situation at sea with Mr. Kohler. She turned her head to the other side and gave Maffeo the answer as well.
"I'll be back soon. Maffeo sped away toward the path leading to the church above the eeriely shaped cliff, and Walter roared behind him, not knowing why his master had suddenly started running without warning. It tried to catch up with its master, but Fett hurriedly came over to reassure Walter and kept him from moving. Well, now there are two masters for it.
The only road leading to the church is winding, with wildflowers and weeds covering almost the entire stone road. Maffeo, on the other hand, had to bend down and climb up to barely move, and here it looked more like a steep slope with a very large elevation angle. After crawling for tens of meters, Maffeo was finally able to walk upright again. Now only a little more than 100 meters away from the cathedral, but the inner Kazan is once again ready to move.
"Hmph, use your senses to discover what exists here. ”
"Stop, there's nothing here. Maffeo looked at the ruined church that seemed to be pressed against his head and smiled sarcastically.
"Your heart is recognized, haha. "Kazan will be shameless to the end as long as he is shameless.
"Could it be ......" Maffeo was in fact shaken whether the things mentioned by the Violent Raiders about the Apostles really existed, and that according to Alice's prophecy, he could not escape from the Apostles, and he was not sure if this was a new revelation she had given him.
"I don't know what it is, but I can relate to it, and it's fun. ”
"You have nothing to do with the apostles. Maffeo vehemently denied it.
"Haha, who knows!"
Maffeo picked up his pace, just to confirm the answer as soon as possible. He didn't remember how Kazan had anything to do with the apostles. The former Perux Empire is already very vague in people's memories, and after hundreds of years of time, coupled with the ambitious Delos Empire, the former Perus glory has long since disappeared. Maffeo only knew that Kazan had been the general of the Peruvian Empire, and he did not know anything else.
The violent search and arrest team is always like this, and after dropping an inexplicable word, they will disappear without a trace. To people, the apostles are mysterious, but some people believe that it will bring them strength, and some people think that it will bring them wealth, and there is no shortage of such people.
The doors of the church are covered with cobwebs, and this place has become a paradise for spiders, and the long period of desolation has caused the exterior walls to be covered with moss. If it weren't for the conspicuously mutilated St. Remidia sign on the church's door, Maffeo would have thought that this church had existed since the beginning of the continent.
After using his broadsword to pick open the cobwebs that covered almost the entire door, he pushed it open with all his might. He had no intention of doing something insulting to the gods, so he didn't kick the door open with his foot, though that would have been easier, as the heavy dust and cobwebweed on the door made Maffeo feel sick.
So, as it should be, Kazan once again started a heart-to-heart dialogue. "Now that you're in, I think you'll get an answer soon. ”
"Are you looking forward to it?"
"Quite looking forward to it. ”
"I might let you down. ”
"I'm fearless. ”
"If you really have a relationship with the apostles, then I would ask you to get the hell out of my heart. I heard you clearly, and I please. ”
"Haha, it's funny! If you can really do it......"
