Abner Blaine's presence
Port of Enmat, inside the Hearthfire Tavern.
Although they had just experienced the vision of their bodies being uncontrollable and the silver moon replacing Crimson, the vast majority of ordinary people stopped caring after discovering that it had no effect on their lives, so the tavern was still bustling.
Newly arrived in the port of Emmatt, Dervisor Wood, veteran sailor Wimmer, captain Gray, first mate Old Cotton, and boatswain Parvi sat around a round table and gulped down Southwell beer to relieve the "fright" caused by the previous encounter.
Even Wood is no exception.
Although he is a "professional monk", it is also a matter of his previous life, and many precepts are no longer necessary to be kept.
Instead of talking, they all pricked up their ears to hear the drunkards at the next table discuss the occult incident. After all, this tavern sometimes serves as an extraordinary trading party, and there are many extraordinary people who come and go.
It would have been a secret, but after the war ended last year, especially in recent months, the Church seems to have loosened its grip on the wild extraordinary.
"What's it if you can't control your body all of a sudden? Remember one day last year when everyone collectively became stupid for nearly a minute? If you want me to say, since the end of the war, there have been so many strange things that there is no need to care so much!"
"That's right······ This is not the first time that the silver moon has appeared, and last year there was a silver moon and a red moon competing for glory······ Maybe it will be restored tomorrow····· Besides, even if something really happens, there is a church that will stand up to it, so we don't need to worry about it at all."
"Haha, yes, I've seen people from the Night Church come out with a few ghosts, oh, ghosts! They float in the air and are terrifying! Compared to those things, the red moon turning into a silver moon is a small thing."
"Yes, it's better to think about women than to care about them······ By the way, have you heard? The vacant position of the 'Pirate King' due to the 'Mystic Queen' and the 'Star Queen' joining the 'Church of Truth' has finally been filled again, and the sea has returned to the era of the 'Four Kings'."
"All I know is that the 'Iceberg General' has become the 'Iceberg Queen', who else?"
"It's 'Admiral Pale' Mary······ No, it's time to call her the 'Strong*** King'."
"'Strong *** king'? I remember the "Pale Admiral" as a lady of integrity, valor, and purity······· Why did you change such a 'title'?"
"Hey, bravery might be real······ But is it upright and pure······ Tsk, according to one of the sailors who left the Pale Viress, they were both deceived by each other's innocent appearance!
"That one is probably quite in his bones······ I heard that once the "Duke of Beldan" boarded the "Pale Virgin" and ······" Stop! Do you want to find death? Choreography "Admiral Pale doesn't matter, you dare to choreograph 'Duke Berdan'?"
"Afraid of what? The 'Duke of Beldan' doesn't care if his affair is brought up, after all, he has been in scandal since he was a 'hero detective'."
"That's right······ I've actually heard similar rumors····· After all, during the war, all the pirate kings and pirate generals issued orders not to raid the merchant ships of the Brian family······ That's telling."
"Hehe, what's that? I've even heard that last year he brought all the female pirate kings and female pirate generals together for a banquet······
"You can 'hear' such news?"
"You know, I joined a secret organization that believes in the 'Demon Emperor' and became a peripheral member of it······ Be quiet! This is now, if it were before, you would have been arrested by the authorities."
"But isn't there no one to care about now? What's more, the "Demon Emperor" organization has actually been semi-public for a long time, and even several charitable foundations are under the name of our organization.
"And it's no secret that nearly half of the female stars in Beldan Studios are followers of the 'Demon Emperor'."
"But it's still too dangerous······ Let's talk about something else······ By the way, who do you think will be the empress of the countries?
Duke Dan", the wife of the 'King of the Rim Sea Kingdom'?"
"All I know is that 'Fenerport' is definitely not going to be a good one······ And Her Majesty Vera Augustus of Rune and Her Majesty Fanny Surrey Gustav of Intis are both vocal and loud····· After all, they are all old acquaintances and friends of His Majesty Abner Blaine."
"Could it be that His Majesty Sophia II of Fursac also has a chance?"
"She didn't have one, but I heard that His Majesty was recently divorced·····
"I really envy the Duke of Beldan, I heard that no matter which Majesty is a rare beauty······
"What's the use of envy? If you are a mortal spokesman of the "God of Truth," you can be treated like this." -...--
The sailors talked about what they didn't know if they had experienced it themselves, or what they had heard from time to time, and their mouths were foaming at the water, and their faces were red, especially when they mentioned Abner, they couldn't wait to replace him, completely deviating from the original topic, and also disappointed the eavesdropping Wood and his party.
"Is it a few ghosts that can be compared to the red moon turning into a silver moon?" Parvi shook her head, rather helplessly.
"Listening to the latter words, that person is also an organized extraordinary, and he said that deliberately, most likely to calm the emotions of others and prevent the panic from spreading." Captain Gray raised his hand and touched his slightly messy short yellow hair.
"Then what 'Demon Emperor' is not a serious existence when I hear it······ His followers would soothe the emotions of ordinary people?" Wimmer looked incredulous. "Haven't you heard? The fact that half of Beldan's female celebrities believe in the "Demon Emperor" is already very telling······ And as far as I know, the "Guardians of the Convention" who upheld the "Covenant of Telles City" during the war and carried out the "Purification Sequence" were all members of the "Demon Emperor" organization.
"And the 'Treaty of Telles' was actually brokered by the 'Duke of Beldan' or the God of Truth behind him!
"All in all, the 'Demon Emperor' and His Majesty Abner Bryan must be inextricably linked." Old Cutton said with a serious face and a low voice.
Old Cottonon has some background in the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" church and has always been well-informed.
"Moreover, the Hearthfire Tavern where we are now is actually the property of His Majesty Abner Blaine's former teacher, the great detective Issinger Stanton."
Several people fell silent at the same time when they heard this, and the "Wude" monk even took a sip of beer, and thought in his heart:
Abner Blaine······ is worthy of being a time-traveler predecessor like Russell the Great, and there are traces of him everywhere······ And he is the same "protagonist of the times" as Russell the Great, which is really enviable!
