Intis, Trier.

Abner, who had just returned to reality from the gray mist, lay on the sofa in his mansion and played with the necklace of five brilliant gems for a while, and then set it aside.

The chain was apparently the once lost "Fallen Morning Star", and after a year, Mr. "Fool" finally recovered it and solemnly returned it to Mr. "Tower" before the small meeting after the Tarot meeting began.

Truth be told, this chain is dispensable to Abner these days, but it's a good idea to give it to a friend, such as Fanny, who has a relatively simple means.

"Well, the date with Crane and the 'Pale Admiral' Maria is in the middle of the night, and there is still plenty of time to see the 'Holy Maiden of Toulon.'"

Thinking of this, Abner grabbed the "Fallen Morning Star" again, and then did not choose to teleport, but asked the butler to arrange a carriage, and then rushed to the villa of the Surrey family.

……

At the same time, in the railway station of a certain city in East Bailang, the monster-like steam locomotive spewed smoke, dragged its long body, and drove into the platform, slower and slower.

A man with dark brown complexion, a soft silhouette, and a small red lump on the side of his face boarded the carriage from the platform shortly after the train stopped.

With his head down, his hand on his top hat, he passed quickly, and headed straight for the head of the train.

The man then knocked on the isolation door, flashed into the cab, and said to the conductor:

"All the conductors have been replaced by our people, and the bridge ahead will be the place where the sacrifice will be held."

The conductor with a thick beard nodded and said:

"May God be satisfied with this cart of sacrifices.

"May we have eternal life in her kingdom."

But at that moment, a voice sounded behind them: "I will send you to your gods." ”

"Who?!" The man with a red and swollen face and the conductor turned their heads at the same time, but I don't know if they were overforced, and their heads turned around their necks more than a dozen times before stopping......

Looking at the conductor and the man who stood up and put their head back in place and saluted him, Alvin nodded casually and disappeared.

- This is the application of the ability related to "tricks" at the angelic level.

The reason why Abner let Alvin go to the southern continent was because he "understood" that even if he had his own "butterfly", this "train sacrifice" incident in the original book would still happen, even a few days earlier.

And Crane, who was supposed to stop this incident, was not in the Southern Continent, so he had to take matters into his own hands to solve the trouble.

"Karaman was dead in the great battle before I became a demigod, I wonder who the organizer of this sacrifice was?"

"The Point Guard Is Here"

In the midst of his thoughts, Alvin walked out of the spirit world and descended directly into a luxurious room in a hotel.

But the cultists gathered in the room turned a blind eye to his arrival, and instead lowered their heads, raised their hands, and knelt down in front of a rag doll in a gesture of prayer.

Two or three seconds later, the rag doll's eyes that were completely unable to turn looked at the area where the crimson moonlight could not reach, and it was just about to open its mouth, which had no tongue at all, and made a sound that did not belong to this "body", but the surrounding environment was suddenly shrouded in "darkness", and silence instantly became the only "theme" in the whole room.

The doll wanted to receive the power to descend and get rid of the "darkness", but after sensing Alvin's breath, it suddenly stopped trying,

And the power that was about to come disappeared without a trace.

"It's so fast!" Alvin, that is, Abner, cursed secretly, and then withdrew the power of "darkness" and began to "divination" the doll's past.

But soon, he frowned, because the level of power involved in this doll was very high, and even angelic-level "astrology" could not get much results.

"But I still 'saw' some clues......

"For example, if you want to descend with the help of a rag doll, the way it is located should be 'prisoner'!

"The people of the 'Rose School' are actually dominated by the 'Red Moon'...... Could it be that the 'Mother Tree of Desire' is really wrong?

"Or did the two outer gods cooperate?"

After thinking about it, Alvin put the doll away, intending to give it to Abner and Crane when they met.

- There is a great danger in exploring the source of power, so let's let Crane do this...... He is more familiar with the "business" in this area and is "professional"!

After killing all the cultists, Alvin also left the place.

……

In an unknown valley, a huge tree that seemed to have been doused with oil was screaming in pain.

Her bloodshot eyes, which rolled on her arms that bulged with all sorts of strange things, were sometimes black, sometimes blood-red, very eerie.

And on its belly, which resembles the trunk of a tree, it seems to be inlaid with a red full moon!

The moonlight dissipated, enveloping the "gods", and her pain gradually disappeared, but at the same time, the "full moon" position was bulging little by little, as if it was filled with liquid, and it seemed to be pregnant with something.

……

The sea of mist, on the Pale Virgin.

"Admiral Pale" Maria stood on the deck of the bow of the ship with her sword, her eyes looking at the sunset that was about to fall below the sea level, not knowing what she was thinking.

- The misty sea and the time difference between East Bailang.

At this moment, her first mate, Kent, came over, and the young man with slightly curly brown hair bowed and reported, "Captain, we are approaching the port of Lars. ”

Port Lars is a private port on a small island not too far off the west coast of Intius, but not too close to it, and is not officially under its jurisdiction.

But that doesn't mean the port town is a chaotic pirate paradise.

On the contrary, because the current occupation of this port is the fleet led by the famous "Lady Longwei", the order here as her stronghold is actually much stronger than that of many cities on land.

The meeting place between Maria and Crane was in a hotel in this port town.

"Don't go near the harbor, just drop anchor in the middle of nowhere, and I'll go to Lars alone in a dinghy." Mary commanded with a blank face.

"Yes!"

Because the Pale Virgen was too conspicuous to sail into the harbor and cause chaos, Kent at first felt that there was nothing wrong with the captain's decision.

But he immediately reacted and said in surprise: "Captain, you want to go to Lars by yourself?" ”

"Yes, it's inconvenient to take you with me." Maria nodded.

Kent frowned and said, "Then you'd better disguise...... After all, your current image is so 'classic' that it's hard not to be recognized. ”

Mary shook her head and said, "There is no need. ”

As a "resentful spirit", it's still easy for her not to let ordinary people see it.

Kent, who knew that the captain would not change his decision, did not persuade much, and after only a few words of advice, he was about to return to his post.

But Mary, as if she had thought of something, stopped him, and hesitated and asked:

"If one day you find that the person you know is completely different in nature and personality from what you already knew...... Are you okay with that? ”
