408

When the rain clouds spread across Byam and beyond, the higher-ups finally realized that something was wrong.

The first to notice the problem is, of course, "Aquaman", and Ion Cottman stares at the sky with a frown, his mood far from being as calm as it seems.

The demigods of the military have already expressed their intention to avoid suspicion, and have begun to evacuate the people into bomb shelters and retreat to the Rune settlement, only to ensure the safety of their own people, regardless of the lives of the natives and foreigners outside.

He had no intention of participating in the recovery of the characteristics of the Sailor's Path, nor did he intend to interfere in the conflict between the Byam Native Cult and the Storm Church, since it was the same path, it was regarded as the Storm Church's internal business.

If Ion Courtman hadn't asked for it, he wouldn't have been involved.

Therefore, the mood of "Aquaman" is a little delicate now.

Ion Cotman could have encompassed Byam with a thunderstorm without the help of seals, but it was tricky to communicate with sea creatures, trigger tides, and start a tsunami at the same time.

Sequence 4 of the Sailor's Path is called "Priest of Calamity", while the Angel is called "Scourge". Disasters and natural disasters may seem like little difference, but in fact there is a huge gap in terms of destructive power and subsequent impact.

What is enough to permanently change the topography of a certain area, and can make people smell and change color, and revere nature from the heart, can often be called "natural disasters"!

"If it weren't for the evidence that the sea serpent was dying, I would have suspected that this was the ritual of its promotion to angelism......"

Ion Courtman looked solemn.

The intimidation of Kavituwa's madness before his death was far beyond his imagination, and he had to fight eighty percent of his strength to suppress the undercurrents under the sea and prevent the tsunami from taking shape. With the seals and the fact that he knew His Holiness the Pope's honorific name, this matter was still within his reach, but at the same time, Ion Courtman knew that he also had two more Achilles' weaknesses than Cavitovis:

The people of Byam, and, once the fight is spiritually dry, Kavituwa is dead, and he will take the risk of madness!

Restless, restless, the sky is full of haze, and the mood of "Aquaman" is quite not good.

He cursed a characteristic dialect of Rune and loudly questioned the substitute punisher beside him:

"Haven't found that sea serpent's nest yet?!"

The punisher liaison shook his head cautiously - it is well known that Sequence 3 has a venerable name, and if the subordinates really find any clues, they should be the first to recite the honorific name and tell the "Sea King" directly, so asking him is completely superfluous, which can only prove that the "Sea King" is in a very bad mood and needs a punching bag.

But just when he didn't dare to be angry or speak, there was a knock on the door.

Without waiting for the "Sea King" to signal, he immediately rushed to the door, opened the door, saw the other party's face clearly, and whispered to the church members outside the door:

"Why didn't you stick to your post?"

- If it weren't for something important, would I have left my post without permission?! The anger was transmitted to the subordinates, and the substitute was in a much better mood. The member of the church also did not dare to be angry or speak, but lowered his head slightly, and said in a hurried tone:

"Patrol members of the coast observed pirate vessels."

His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice couldn't help but raise: "Judging from the appearance and banner, it is the 'Immortal King', one of the 'Four Kings'." ”

The substitute was startled and immediately turned his head to look at Ion Courtman.

The back of the "Sea King" was like a mountain, supported between the rain clouds and the house, and the substitute felt a little relieved, and took the initiative to ask:

"How many of his pirate corps are here?"

"How far is it from Byam now?"

The church member wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and reported loudly:

"Only the 'Immortal King' and the flagship 'Death' have come, and there is no trace of any other ships!"

"Just ......"

"There's a telegram from another island that the flagship 'Death' has clashed with a cargo ship on the way in, and the local garrison thinks it's a raid, but the cargo ship is another pirate ship that has been disguised with extraordinary abilities!"

The punisher's back was hot and sweating, and he felt that "Aquaman" seemed to have turned his head and was paying attention to this side.

His throat tightened, and he asked in a low voice, "Which pirate group is it?" ”

"Yes......" The church member was a little breathless by the substantial depression in the room, and he struggled to utter the name:

"Another pirate ship has flagged the flag of the 'Mystic Queen'......"

Bang!

The gas chandelier in the room exploded with a bang, and shards of glass flew everywhere, smashing on the two people who didn't dare to dodge.

However, the sailors were rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so they were not injured by this.

"Pirate...... This group of sea hyenas saw the blood and wanted to make some gains......"

Ion Courtman's voice was low and deep, like thunder rolling through the clouds:

"If they really dare to come, then let them have no return! I want to teach those self-righteous pirates at sea what awe and fear are! ”

"Get those informants moving! Tell them: if you can't find a hiding place for the sea serpent, you have to bury it! ”

……

In a hotel in Byam.

It was already dark enough to light a lamp to see clearly, and seeing that the situation was critical, Crane immediately summoned a messenger and wrote a letter to Azik.

It was the serpent-tailed demigod who had come to fetch the guilt of the demigod who had faced Ince Zangwill and another golden-masked demigod alone after the ruins of the underground had been interrupted, and now seeing him reappear intact.

But I was in too much of a hurry, so I summoned them before I could write a letter.

In order to ensure that Gelman Sparrow's character did not collapse, he pretended that nothing had happened and quickly wrote the letter.

The demigod with a snake tail in his body didn't say much when he saw that he had just started writing, he slid to the window, glanced at Daniz, who was so frightened that he wanted to become a transparent person on the spot, and looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and the rising tide in the distance.

Are you asking me to take you out of here? Crane heard the other ask himself.

He thought for a few seconds and shook his head:

"Not yet." The adventurer said calmly, "Unless it is really irretrievable." ”

Roughly describes the matter of the "sea god" Kavituwa, but hides the details that he was almost possessed and must be dispelled with the help of gray mist, and blends the remains of the other party's hiding into the dream just now.

“…… It may be possible to find a way from the spirit world, but I lack the knowledge to do so, and I hope to have your guidance. ”

Crane folded the paper, turned his head, and handed the letter to the messenger.

The demigod took the letter and nodded at him. His body disintegrated, turning into bursting white flames that instantly dissipated into the air.

"This, this, it, no, who is he?" Daniz finally spoke.

Crane glanced at him, and Ping Shu replied:

"The Courier."

Messenger? Daniz was stunned for a moment before he understood what the other party meant.

With such wisdom, such a deterrent, such a terrible monster, it turned out to be a messenger to deliver letters? Gelman Sparrow really has a powerful and hidden organization behind him! If, if I had such a messenger, everyone on board would envy me, it would be really, really cool! Daniz remembers the scene of bragging and showing off the messenger back to the ship.

Putting away the Azic Whistle, Crane found a chair and sat down, ready to wait for breakfast.

After a while, he heard Dongdongdong's knock on the door.

Daniz was wary of the past, and with the help of a cat's eye, he noticed that it was a middle-aged man in a boat-shaped hat who was knocking on the door outside.

"Erlan? How did you find here? Daniz asked.

The visitor was none other than the captain of the "White Onyx", the impartial Aylan.

Erlan, who had some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, looked inside the room and chuckled: "When you stayed in this hotel, you registered with Gelman Sparrow's identity, and you can find it out at a check. ”

Because this identity is still very formal and innocent, and, in the eyes of the Storm Church, it belongs to the military...... Crane slowly got up and said to Elland who entered the room:

"What's the matter?"

Erlan pointed outside and said, "There was an accident in Byam, but it's not a big problem, the United Church of the Military is doing a city-wide search, and those are a few extraordinary people with good strength, nominal archaeologists." ”

"In order to find the target as quickly as possible, the military used all its resources, but it was still not enough for such a large city. Hehe, they believe that although your origin is unknown, you are very friendly to us, and hope that you can help investigate and prevent accidents, and will pay you accordingly afterwards. ”

This should be your credit for exaggerating how friendly I am...... In other words, after the Church of the Goddess and the Church of Steam, I can get money from the military again? Crane's feelings were a little complicated for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't answer immediately, Erlan added:

"Although there will be no major problems, the sooner you find the target, the sooner you can control the corresponding disaster."

"And that might save a few more people."

Crane was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly:

"Okay."

409

Sitting in the rain shelter on deck, admiring the extreme weather of the black clouds a few hundred meters away, the sailors reported to him that they could not move any further, and that the sailors of the Church of the Storm had built a line of defense at sea.

He casually glanced into the distance, and saw ships bearing the flag of the Church of the Storm dropping anchors in the distance in the direction of the harbor. But this time, their proud ability to see the wind and rudder did not bring convenience, and the sailors still needed to coordinate and cooperate like ordinary people, constantly adjusting the hull and sails to be stable.

Because the undercurrents underwater, the restless sea creatures, the increasing waves and rain all come from another "Sea King", the cardinal of the Rorsted Islands, who has to guard against Kavituwa with all his heart, and cannot give them extra protection for the time being.

Further afield, on the shore and in the harbor, groups of soldiers dressed in black and armed with guns were already in place.

- Unlike Kavituva, if pirates try to storm the port and take advantage of it, the strong men of the military will certainly not sit idly by.

He turned his head to look at the ship with the "Mysterious Queen" logo far away, and waved his hand:

"Drop anchor."

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't go down, because the "death number" under your feet is releasing spirituality, which is enough to stabilize yourself in the wind and rain.

He ignored the first and second mates who were staring at him, lit a cigarette for himself, and said to himself:

"Bernadette shouldn't just look at it."

He closed his eyes, then opened them again:

"If you want to slow down the disaster, the only condition you can throw is to ......prevent me from taking the opportunity to enter the city and plunder when the two of them can't spare their hands."

I don't know what seals she brought with her.

By the time the tsunami comes, the sea level will be above the ground, and you will be able to rush into Baiam by boat. However, Byamri did not have what he wanted, and this act would inevitably attract the hostility of at least two demigods, which could be said to be unnecessary.

But if you watch a play and leave, it doesn't fit the personality of the "devil".

He glanced at Bernadette's boat again, and looked at the time—it was nine o'clock in the morning, and he was going to hurry to get Cavituis to do it, and if it was too late, he wouldn't get in the way of his lunch.

He fumbled the line and prepared to give the order. But at this moment, the second mate suddenly came over in a hurry, and every step used a lot of force, as if to deliberately attract the attention of others.

"Captain."

The second mate, Gilcias, bowed down with contempt, he wanted to respect his spokesperson for the sake of the "Death Number", but without absolute power to suppress it as a base, it was impossible to make the extraordinary beings of the demon path submit.

Gilcias looked meaningfully at the several cargo ships and passenger ships docked near the port, and said, "Why don't you move your muscles?" ”

Agaritu let go of his fingers, and to others he seemed to be pinching his fingers and calculating.

In such a terrifying extreme weather, many people have the idea of fleeing for their lives, and the passenger ships that originally sailed in the afternoon at the port are now lit up. Although experienced captains and sailors were reluctant to go to sea in such weather, they could not resist the demands of panicked passengers. Moreover, they themselves have not encountered such storms a few times, and with the fact that they can vaguely see the normal sky in the distance, it is inevitable that they will retreat.

"The fat sheep ran out of the fence by itself, and if it is not slaughtered, it will not be slaughtered!"

"Go." "It looks like Aquaman is not going to let us into the port, and in that case, we have to charge some interest before leaving." ”

"If you miss the time, sink quietly into the sea by yourself!"

The crew was delighted by this answer, and a bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating everyone's hideous ghostly faces.

"Death Number" did not play the role of a seal as a seal, and acted very low-key, and it was not even as far as the murderous reputation of "Blood General". But that doesn't mean the demons are less effective than the prisoners of the indulgents.

The boatswain lowered the spare boat and hung two lifebuoys. Gilcias got on board with a group of sailors and sailed at breakneck speed towards a passenger ship that was turning.

Just as they were about to board the ship, a little starlight sparked and enveloped the passenger ship, which slowly disappeared from the pirates.

Agaritatu, who was about to use his extraordinary abilities to remanifest the ship, paused for a moment before he remembered that he was Sequence 4, had no blood curse, no authority to feel fear, had lost the ability to speak, and was even one sequence lower than Bernadette. In the distance, the boat stopped at sea, and the sailors turned back to wait for the instructions of the "Death".

The Devil, whose usual skill slot had been almost emptied, pondered for a few seconds before the ship's cook brought him a fried steak - oh, he was probably thinking about not letting Kavituis get in the way of his lunch.

There is no mouth in the trough, but the matter has come to this point, so let's eat first. Agaritu then picked up the fork and fixed the steak on the plate, and the blunt knife slowly cut a piece of meat from the right, and blood actually flowed from the cross-section of the medium-rare steak.

On the ship of the "mysterious queen" not far away, the boatswain who had just been changed to observe the enemy situation suddenly had a flash in his eyes, and the telescope in his hand slipped off, hitting the hull twice before falling into the sea with a normal thud. He looked at the drop point of the telescope suspiciously, and for a moment did not figure out why he had escaped.

Tick.

Just then, he noticed that drops of blood had fallen into the water of the telescope.

Where did the blood ...... come from? He looked left and right in confusion, only to find that everyone else was looking at him with shocked eyes.

The sharp pain of the piercing heart suddenly rushed into his brain, and the blood pooled at his feet, and the boatswain looked down in disbelief, and saw his right arm, which was almost completely gone. A small limb remains under the shoulder, and the severed bone can be seen on the smooth section.

"Ahh

！ ”

"Enemy attack!

Enemy attack!

”

He let out a heart-rending scream, and the deck became chaotic, and he rushed to the captain's quarters like crazy, but he had barely taken two steps before he fell to the ground with a thud - his legs were gone!

Blood poured out of his body like a spring, and his face turned white. One of the ship's doctors who tried to stop the bleeding had just approached and lost his head, turning into a headless corpse and falling to the side, and then the limbs under his clothes disappeared one by one.

In the captain's room, Bernadette is contacting the "Sea King" through occult means in order to maintain her status as the king of pirates. The condition is that the "immortal king" who holds up the sea in the event of internal unrest in Byam. She deliberately threw out a shockingly high price, and sat down to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Through divination and spiritual foreshadowing, Bernadette found that if she could successfully prevent this "Poseidon" crisis, she would definitely be able to successfully complete the promotion ceremony, and even take extraordinary properties on the spot. But on the premise of having "Sea King", he is not the main combat force, and he can only be regarded as playing in advance.

Therefore, she decided not to get involved in it and to reduce the spread of the disaster.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and several crew members came to her door in horror and shouted:

"Captain! We were attacked! ”

"There have been casualties!"

Bernadette abruptly got to her feet and strode out of the cabin and onto the deck. As soon as she pushed the door open, the strong smell of blood and sea water rushed to her nose, and she frowned deeply, blood already flowing to her feet.

There were several people on the ship, all of whom had lost part of their bodies to a greater or lesser extent, and there was even a white coat that had been completely stained red with blood spread out in a pool of blood, and a medical kit was placed next to it. Seeing the captain, several of the sailors who were already dying suddenly seemed to see hope, and they all tried their best to raise their heads, hoping that the captain could save them.

Bernadette didn't act rashly, she looked at the "death number" next to her for the first time, and suddenly, a chaotic whisper rushed into her mind:

"Why are you holding me back from having a full meal?"

"Even the King of the Five Seas won't discipline others, are you going to break the rules, Mystic Queen?"

The anger in Bernadette's heart rose instantly, almost burning her reason, but she immediately used her spirit to distinguish that only a small part of the anger at this time was her own, and most of the other was the extreme emotions deliberately provoked by the demon, and if she was tricked, she would be planted with the seeds of detonation.

She quickly calmed down, and took action instead of answering: a thin starlight curtain covered the deck, and all the injured instantly felt no longer in pain.

On the "Death Call", Agaritu eats the last bite of the steak, and the plate is already filled with blood, forming an arc, as if it will overflow with a slight shake. He stood up with his plate in his hand, came to the side of the boat, tilted it slightly, and the blood in the plate fell into the sea like a waterfall.

The pitch-black water was instantly dyed red.

The red color continued to stretch outward, and finally turned into a red trace, passing through the small boat where Gilcias was, and drawing the outline of a ship dozens of meters away.

"Huh!" Gilcias sneered and licked his lips, "Pretty fast." ”

As the "mysterious queen" withdrew its magic, the passenger ship that had traveled far away gradually came into view.

One by one, the pirates boarded the ship like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, and the sound of falling water and screaming was constantly heard around them.

Bernadette was comforting the crew when she saw a look of fear on the faces of the wounded, a muffled popping sound in their bodies, and then bleeding from all seven orifices, all of them lost their lives.

Seeing this, Bernadette could no longer maintain a calm expression.

She slowly stood up, and was about to say something, but the hull of the ship shook suddenly.

……

Latisia and her companions are all out of control, contaminated, and killed by artillery fire and extraordinary attacks by members of the military.

In the belly of Latisia Flesh Lake, Crane vaguely saw a copy of the Book of Scourges, which led him to speculate that Kavituva may have become a demigod by mistakenly eating the remnants of a high-ranking elf.

According to the mythology of the Silver City of the Sun, the ancient elven king Sunia Solem is in charge of the storm, and the Storm Church is hostile to the elves, so it can be further speculated that the Lord of the Storm may have snatched power from the elven king...... As soon as Crane cleared his thoughts, Ellan caught up with the two of them, and said with a smile:

"I've found the target, the investigation is over, I'll send you back to the hotel first, and I'll bring the reward over in two days, and besides, it's best not to go out today."

Crane maintained the attitude that Gelman Sparrow should have, only nodded slightly, and did not say anything in response.

The torrential rain continued, and they were about to part ways when they suddenly felt the ground shake slightly, and a rumbling sound sounded in their ears at the same time.

Erlan's face was solemn, but he still wanted to relieve the tense atmosphere, and kept a smile and spoke:

"Is it thunder?"

But his words had no appasing effect, and his voice seemed to come from a long distance, drowned out by a loud rumbling noise.

Crash!

The sound of the tide seemed to sound in their ears, and an extremely clear answer came to the hearts of all of them, and they all raised their heads in unison, or looked into the distance—

Under the stormy sky, the sea rumbled in the distance, and the tsunami swept away the nearest houses with fishing boats.

Then, the sky lit up with the light of extraordinary ability, blocking out part of the sea, and the loud clapping sound almost broke everyone's eardrums!

After a deathly silence, Irlan yelled:

"Run!"

"Evacuate the crowd on the road!"

"Don't stand stupid!

The sea serpent knows we've found it!

！ ”

The tsunami began.

——————

In the original work, Rika Vituwa and Aquaman confronted each other for two days, and in the end, it ended without any incident.
