Chapter 116: Wednesday
The more I touch the imprint, the closer I get to Him?
No, it's certainly not that simple...... Otherwise, the gods would never have given me the opportunity to be promoted to demigod and touch those imprints......
Hey, after being "Liu Bo" for so many years, I suddenly felt that I didn't know myself......
With a slight sigh, Abner stopped dwelling on the question, and instead walked out of Alvin's maze of answers, and took a single step back to the villa at 28 Kings Street, directly in the room assigned to Forthth.
- Since Hugh has been out of the field in East Chester County for a while, and Farth also needs to go out with Abner every day, he has been living in his villa.
It was not strange to see Abner, who was looking at the synopsis of the story of "The Ice Sea Shipwreck", but complained that he was becoming more and more casual, and even omitted the process of knocking on the door in the past.
"I've got you a gift." Abner brushed aside her grumbling and said with a smile.
"What?" Forthth suddenly became interested, put down the stack of manuscripts full of words in his hand, and asked curiously.
Without hesitation, Abner took out the card with the body of "Mr. X" sealed and handed it over.
Foirth took it, but when her fingers touched the surface of the card, a picture appeared in her mind.
It was a man in a black classical robe and a peaked magician's hat, lying quietly in a small space, his face calm and unwavering, and he obviously walked very "peacefully......
"Louis Vane?
"You've already killed him?"
As a medical school graduate, as a doctor who has worked in a well-known clinic, Foirth has seen a lot of corpses, so she didn't feel scared, she just didn't expect Abner to be so efficient, and it has only been more than a week that she has completed the task.
However, she then asked with some concern: "The 'sun' in the East District was 'made' by you just now?"
"No injuries, right?"
Abner smiled and shook his head: "I'm a demigod, how can I get hurt if I kill him in Sequence 5?"
"Making such a big commotion is just to make the 'Dark Sage' of the Aurora Society retreat, and to mislead the direction of the church's investigation."
"That's right......" Furth breathed a sigh of relief at first, but she reacted immediately and said in surprise, "You, you fought with a Sage?" ”
"I just tested each other a few times, because I was afraid of each other, and the official sage quickly rushed over, so I didn't actually fight." Abner replied honestly.
"I'm sorry, I underestimated the difficulty of this commission...... Well, I'll make up for it later. Furth said with some guilt.
She only thought that Abner should be in no danger as a demigod to kill a Sequence 5, but she didn't consider that the other party also had a demigod problem.
If she had known, she would not have let her best friend take risks, but would have found a way to go to Tarot and entrust Mr. "Tower" or "Temperance" lady.
"I'm looking forward to it." Abner curled the corners of his mouth and smiled back.
……
In the moonlight at night, the water was deep blue and almost black, and Alger Wilson stood on the bow of the ship, watching the quietly creeping silhouette of Passu Island.
This is the headquarters of the Church of the Storm, the place of God's favor!
As a mid-level member of the Church, Alger remembered only three times, once after finding the Blue Avenger and being promoted to Voyager, once after last year's debriefing, and again, a long time ago, as a dark-blue-haired half-breed, he was selected to join the headquarters and become a member of the children's choir, but he had no talent for singing, and was soon sent away to serve as a servant in the chapel on the island where he was born, where the priest was a very rough man to his subordinates.
Whenever he recalls this experience, his expression becomes rather calm, and he longs to reach a high position.
And this time I came back because I was urgently summoned to deploy a plan to raid the military port on Sunia Island.
In the midst of the wind, the "Blue Avenger" moved quietly and sailed towards the port.
In the middle of the island, at the top of a towering mountain, there is a church called "Storm Abyss", which is the headquarters of the Storm Church headquarters, the temple of the temple.
However, Alger's status was not enough to enter the area, and he was arranged to rest in the Thunder Chapel on the outskirts of the island, waiting for the arrival of the other recruited "privateers".
Inside the Thunder Church, the dome is high and wide, the arches are continuous, and the murals around are connected, without a little blank, mainly gold and blue, so that the people walking in it subconsciously feel sacred and solemn, and involuntarily lower their heads.
Alger Wilson, who was often in contact with hidden beings, and who had long been meeting in palaces like the abode of the gods, no longer felt and was no longer in awe of it, but he did not show this, and like the sailors around him, he always looked down at the ground, and his steps were so gentle that he did not dare to breathe.
In a quiet atmosphere, they were led by the priest all the way to the clergy's quarters at the back of the church, where they were each given a room.
No sooner had settled himself down when he heard a knock at the door.
He opened the door in confusion, and saw a man with soft yellow hair and a lightning-patterned robe.
His name is Sainz, and he and Alger have been partners for a long time, but then one of them chooses to be the captain of the ghost ship and continues to drift the seas, and the other comes to the island of Passu and returns to the clergy.
Alger smiled, raised his right hand, clenched his fist and struck his left chest:
"The storm is with you."
"The storm is with you." The yellow-haired man, who was in the prime of life, responded with a smile in the same motion.
He immediately lowered his voice and said:
"Why did you come back to participate in this mission?
"You know, you're likely to face the regular army of Fursack, it's very dangerous!"
As the captain of the "ghost ship" with a high degree of freedom, he believes that Alger can cause accidents, delay the return date, and miss the call-up.
Although there is bound to be a punishment, it is not too serious as long as the cause is reasonable...... At least not to lose your life.
Because I need the "Aubnis Sea Monster"! I need to be promoted!
Alger muttered to himself silently, and said with a wry smile on his face: "From the time I saw that the order I received revealed some of the content of the mission, I knew that this call could not be shirked. ”
However, his friend's concern still made his expression soften a lot.
"Yes...... However, this time it was really strange, after all, such a large-scale order was issued and the content of the mission was revealed, even if the captains were extremely devout to the Lord, it was inevitable that the news would be revealed......" Sainz said confusedly.
"Maybe there's something else up there." Alger meant something authentic.
In fact, he was not surprised by a similar trick, but the "sea monster" was there, and it was impossible to quietly transfer it with its size.
Even, the church's top brass may have planned to attack during its transfer, after all, it is now difficult to attack in the military port.
"It's just that this way, you may be more dangerous." Sainz sighed.
When the time comes, it will be really dangerous, so I will jump directly into the sea, and Mr. "Fool" has already obtained the authority of "Sea God", so he will naturally protect me......
Alger answered in his heart, but didn't say it.
At this time, Sainz also noticed that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so he changed the topic and said:
"Do you know Gardelia, the Admiral of the Stars?"
Not only recognize ...... Alger thought for a moment before replying:
"Seen at the Pirate Convention."
"Then do you know the 'Lieutenant General of Disease' and the 'Pale Admiral'?" Sainz asked again.
"Again, I've only seen it at pirate conventions...... What's wrong? This time, Alger was much more confident.
Sainz thought for a few seconds, then said regretfully:
"If you know them, you can take on the task of pretending to be close to them, joining them, and investigating the situation of Gelman Sparrow from them...... That way, you won't have to venture to Sunia again. ”
So that's what happened...... Because Gelman hunted the "blood general"? Alger asked, pretending to be puzzled:
"What did Gelman Sparrow do?"
Sainz came to his senses when he heard this, and said excitedly:
"He almost ruined Byam, he is a very dangerous fellow, it is said that there is a hidden evil organization behind it, that organization has demigods, and even angels, hostile to the Rose School!"
Almost ruined Byam? The organization has demigods and angels? Hostile to the Rose School?
But aren't we Tarot enemies of the "True Creator" and the "Original Witch"?
Alger deliberately showed his dismay without concealing his bewilderment.
……
On Wednesday morning, Abner didn't rush to take Foirth to Conston, the capital of Jianhai County, to "fish" for Mr. Glutton, but let her sleep comfortably.
After all, because she had to disguise the "bloodline" of Furth in order to deceive the "gluttonous" Mr. "Gluttony", she spent most of the night cooperating with Abner in various rituals, which was very difficult.
But Abner himself was in good spirits, and after a brief breakfast, he called a carriage and rushed to Mr. Surrey's workshop in the West End, where he was ready to build a few extraordinary items.
