Chapter 362: Behind the Scenes
"Yes, Captain!" The crew members agreed and went about their duties.
Only the first mate, Kent, glanced worriedly at Maria, who had her head bowed and her face covered with her hair, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she did not come forward.
When everyone had returned to their posts, Mary fell on her knees for a few moments before she stood up with great difficulty.
In the process, an almost transparent face was vaguely reflected on the silver-white smooth bow image, and an illusory, viscous, and disgusting black liquid that kept overflowing from the eyes that suppressed malice!
Leaning silently on the bow of the ship, it took about five minutes for Maria's face to return to normal.
She tied her long hair back up, looked behind the direction of travel with a little surprise, and wondered in her heart: In the few minutes when I couldn't control the "Pale Saintess" with all my strength, the "Death" didn't take the opportunity to catch up?
……
On the "Death Call", which is towering and huge, at least equivalent to a five-story house, the "Immortal King" Agaritu suddenly sighed and issued a new order to the "Slaughterer" Gilcias:
"No need to chase, we immediately turned and headed for the Furious Sea...... Also, inform the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Squadrons as soon as possible, and let them join us at the Berserk Overseas. ”
"Captain, but we're almost catching up to the Pale Maiden!" Gilcias said incredulously.
"Execute the order!" Agaritu understood the unwillingness of his subordinates, and he felt the same way, but his orders could not be refuted.
"Yes, Captain...... Sensing the danger, Gilcias didn't dare to fight again, but after hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "What about Wilandus of the First Fleet?" Don't you need to inform him? ”
Agaritu said without any emotion: "Verandus is dead, his fleet should be finished." ”
Gilcias was shocked, and although he didn't feel the danger, he understood a little bit about why the captain didn't continue the pursuit. The enemy's situation is unknown, and their situation is not very optimistic, and it is likely that they have fallen into the enemy's trap in turn.
After the "Slaughterer" went out to convey the order, Agaritu seemed to say sarcastically to the "air":
"Catching up? No! Can't catch up with the ...... You should have noticed that no matter how much we accelerated, the distance between us and the Pale Virgen did not shorten!
"It's 'distance' 'magnified' or 'distorted'!
"Nast is nearby, Panin's shit is probably finished!
"This is his warning to us...... If we continue to pursue, I'm afraid we will have to experience the strength of the 'King of the Five Seas'......
"And it's very wrong...... All four detachments had lost contact, and Wilandus had died...... I'm afraid someone really has overwhelmed your senses and calculated our ......"
Speaking of this, Agaritu listened attentively, pulled a smile on his stiff face, and said:
"I'm not cowardly, I'm cautious! Hehe, if you had half the caution of me, you wouldn't have been turned into a ship by that Adaba'o's calculations.
"We don't cooperate well, the responsibility is entirely on you!"
……
About five nautical miles away from the "Death", the "King of the Five Seas" Nast was suspended in mid-air, although his eyes looked at the two ghost ships that thought they were moving at full speed, but in fact they had not sailed far, his thoughts had already turned to other aspects:
Someone interfered with my judgment and made me a few minutes late...... Who will it be?
Can effectively influence me who holds a "0" level seal...... I'm afraid that's the only one who exists......
I don't know what His purpose is?
Thinking of this, the dark red light in Nast's black eyes jumped, and he didn't continue to delve into it, and even took the initiative to "distort" part of his thoughts.
After doing this, he "exploited" the loopholes in the rules and directly "saw" that the "Death" began to turn the rudder, and seemed to have given up tracking the "Pale Saintess".
Nast bowed slightly, pleased with Agaritu's knowledge. On the premise of knowing that there is someone behind the scenes, he actually doesn't want to go to war with the "Death Number" head-on.
After waiting for a few more moments, and seeing that Agaritu had indeed changed course, Nast let go of the confusing effect on the concept of "distance" around the two ships.
At that moment, the surrounding space suddenly filled with mist, and a huge three-masted galleon covered in pure black leaped out of the void.
That's his "Black Emperor"!
A slender man in a red suit was standing at the bow of the boat with a smile on his face, looking at him in mid-air.
Seeing this, Nast took a step forward, and then appeared directly on the deck of the "Black Emperor", he nodded lightly at the man in the red suit, and asked, "Your Excellency Duke Adabao, how is the situation on your side?" ”
"Panin 'succeeded' in escaping, but I 'planted' something in his spirit." Yadabao replied with a smile.
"I don't care what you're going to do...... But I need to warn you that your little tricks can't hide from the eyes of the god of war. Nast glanced at the polite demon on the other side, and a dark red light flickered.
"I know, so I'm not going to give him the opportunity to go into church and pray to the gods." Speaking of this, Yadabao returned the minaret crown, the symbol of the authority of the "Black Emperor", to Nast, and then continued with a smile, "As the remaining deacon of the colony, he still has this wayward power.
"Well, at least for half a year, you won't be suspected."
After a short silence, Nast looked at his father's former colleagues in front of him, and suddenly spoke: "You knew the existence behind this incident from the beginning, right?" ”
Otherwise you would not have allowed the master of "pale justice" to be hunted down by that ship.
"How would I know that it was about the gods?" Adabao was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile.
"I see, I see...... It seems that this was a joint plan between Russell the Great and you...... Or is it a plan he didn't have time to make......" The dark red light in Naster's eyes contracted and expanded a little, surely authentic.
This time, however, Yadabao only kept an elegant smile and did not answer.
……
More abstract than the spiritual realm, as if encompassing the entire universe within the astral boundary, which is composed of books that are spread out or closed, different figures shuttle between them, and in the illusory realm where reading is pleasure, an existence that cannot see age, looks clearly, and even gender is unclear retracts his gaze to reality.
The corners of the being's mouth seemed to curl slightly, and he casually displayed a page of paper, and then followed the connection between the kingdom and a large white tower, and threw the page full of words into a certain "starry sky" in the tower.
When the paper is turned, the following content is faintly revealed:
"A 'resentful soul' with the 'devil' trait sealed in its body?
"Prisoners of desire for 'justice'...... Extreme 'justice' is itself distorted and degenerate......
"Want to circumvent the Mother Tree of Desire's control over the path?
"Is this Fabouti or Tolzner's backhand? Also with the help of Russell's power......
"That sword is actually a 'switch', a means of venting 'desire'...... Genius design, Russell is worthy of the relics of the past.
"I just don't know if that little girl is a real backhand, or a pawn who has been pushed to the surface......
"That 'whisperer' is so bold that even the gods dare to calculate......"
"Either way, if Fabuti or Tolzner really have a chance to get out of control, that's a good thing......"
……
As soon as the "Aerenheim" "opened" and returned to his "cabin", the "Pure White Eye" suddenly opened itself without warning and passed a message to him.
Abner's expression suddenly became solemn, because the last time the "Pure White Eye" was opened on its own was because he felt the pollution of the "Primordial Moon" at the dance party of the "Daily Observer"!
But after he read the message carefully, he breathed a sigh of relief, and thought instead:
"Is there a superior being of this path who has instilled knowledge in me? Who? The God of Knowledge?
"He used to influence me, but he was able to put me into the so-called 'prophecy' state directly......
"Is this a new feature that I added after I became Sequence 6 and deepened my connection to the Unknown Lands?"
