Chapter 223: The Road Ahead is Unclear

497After bidding farewell to Gelman Sparrow,

"Admiral of the Stars" Gadelia rubbed her temples, feeling that she had been ruined by the war of the gods and this one

The tense nerves of the "companion" were finally able to relax. Frank Lee was busy, and Anderson's opinion of the roast chicken apples was quite high, which made him quite happy and wanted to continue his research.

After they had left the ruins of the Divine War, another small sailing ship of humble appearance slowly followed, mostly dressed in plain cloth robes, white-washed shawls, and barefoot, looking like ascetics, but without any sign of the Orthodox Church.

Gadelia had already discovered it and had been vigilant, but fortunately, the other party did not come close, and they were safe until they left.

Heath Doyle, the Bloodless, stood in the shadows, silently watching the little sailboat until it disappeared from his view.

After counting,

In total, the Future lost about a quarter of its personnel, most of them because of what happened to them before entering the ruins of the Divine War

The "Immortal King" was slaughtered, in small part because of the influence of the remnants of the gods in the sea.

Anyway,

The "Star Pirates" need to recruit a new manpower. As for from

The "Morse Ascetic" recruited some ordinary people or low-order extraordinary people with experience in navigation and extraordinary events, or directly recruited some sailors with legitimate purposes from familiar channels, and it was not the first time that Gardelia had gone to sea for an adventure, and a plan was prepared that night.

It was dark, and the pirates who had completed an adventure were all drinking and noisy on deck, and Gardelia had no intention of joining them, but also planned to walk over and say a few symbolic words and drink a few beers.

"Everybody's worked hard." Frank brought her a beer, and Gardelia said to Nina, who was the first to raise a toast, "Dock at our port tonight, and everyone can drink Nebos to their heart's content, of course, not to interfere with the supplies to Bayam tomorrow morning." ”

"Long live the Captain!" Nina, who has a bold personality, cheered, toasted with Gadelia, and then directly picked up a bottle of Nebos, and couldn't wait to run to the corner to fight with her companions.

There was a jubilant atmosphere on the deck, and after a few drinks with the others, Gadelia quietly left, when the navigator Otolov carefully followed, and silently followed Cardelia to the cabin.

Arriving in the corridor of the cabin, where the butter lamps were hung, Gardelia turned and asked, "What's the matter?" "Old

"Voyeur" Otolov opened his mouth, a little complicated and a little frightened, and said: "After returning home, I immediately went to collect some information on the sea during this time......"

"What happened?" Cordelia frowned, puzzled by the Navigator's cowering look.

"Uh...... You ......" said Ottolov, with a dry mouth and stammering,

"Perhaps, maybe you need to ......see it for yourself," Gardelia was more and more surprised, the navigator's behavior was very different from her usual life, and she realized that something unimaginable might have happened, but with what Gadelia knew about her own navigator so far, it was difficult for her to imagine what would have happened

The nautical elder friends on the periphery of the "Dawn of the Elements" are so out of shape with the lake. Ottolov pulled out several pieces of paper pinned together by paper clips from the pockets of his jacket and hesitantly handed them over.

Gardelia took the piece of paper and habitually pushed her glasses, her gaze sweeping over the first line.

Her expression froze suddenly.

"The wreckage of the flagship 'Dawn' was found offshores the day before yesterday, and no one survived......"

"The 'Mysterious Queen' is confirmed dead, no one has come to receive the bounty for the time being, and only the 'Three Kings and Seven Generals' are left in the five seas!" The old navigator looked around uneasily, and at last he took off his hat and pressed it to his chest as a moment of silence.

"I don't believe it...... I don't believe it, I don't believe it! After a brief period of loss of consciousness and stiffness, Cordelia immediately showed fierce resistance,

"How could Her Majesty have been killed?! I'm going to Laxia! Let the Future set sail at once, I'm going to Laxia! She staggered to the captain's quarters, and Ottorov quickly chased after her, dissuading: "Captain, we have just returned from the ruins of the Divine War, and the crew needs to rest, so we can't set sail immediately!" ”

"And Raxia is the secret stronghold of the organization! You can't just go over with such fanfare! Ottorov grabbed Gardelia by the sleeve and pulled the young girl by the hand, he saw

The shoulders of the "Star Admiral" twitched again and again, and the other hand kept shaking from side to side in the direction of his face, but he never let out a single cry.

It seemed like a century had passed, and Gardelia's shoulders no longer swayed, and she turned her back to Otolov and said in a nasal voice: "I see. ”

"Go and continue to gather intelligence, gather ...... Information about the 'Immortal King'. The navigator was slightly puzzled and nodded, "Yes." Gadelia waved her hand: "You go first, I will go back and be quiet for a while, and use occult means to confirm the truth of this matter." With a sigh in his heart, Otolov put his hat back on, covered his already gray hair, and slowly turned away.

After taking a dozen steps, he glanced back and saw someone in a purple wizard's robe

The "Star General" is still standing by the dim oil lamp, and he is independent. …… Edward was a little incredulous: "So you just ran away?" "Agaritu and put it in a small bottle

The "Death Call" all nodded honestly.

"......" Edward sighed,

"Also, although I have already solved Bernadette first, I didn't expect that the 'Black Sage' would actually get out of trouble at this time. Craan's stay with him means that he has been brought under the protection of the true Creator, and in this case there is no point in doing it, and if you are discovered, my dear allies will realize that I am secretly working on a secret candidate. ”

"It's impossible not to do it without doing it, and who can bear to nip the future master of mystery in the bud? It is not God who can endure it. Edward was in a good mood and muttered, "Is there any new information on the sea lately?" ”

"There are rumors that 'Lieutenant General Iceberg' Edwina is missing." Edward picked up a butter cookie and opened it

The lid of the "Wishing Lamp" was stuffed in, and he picked up a cup of tea that had been cold next to him and poured it in, before asking, "Where did Crane go after that?" She pressed the lid tightly, and Agaritu only saw

The "Wishing Lamp" vibrated slightly. He replied truthfully, "The emotional seed from Crane's body was cleared, and the last place to appear was a sea city. Gadelia will soon be cleared by the Source Fort at the Tarot meeting, and I can track down the others, but they don't matter. After hearing this, Edward said with emotion: "It's hard for you to remember the names and faces of so many people." ”

"If you want to fight, you can fight, even if you don't fight, that little girl can't pose any threat to us, you can arrange it yourself." Agaritu nodded, and then asked the question he was most concerned about: "Is there her on my ship?" "Edward put the bottle in the boat

"Death Number" took it in the palm of his hand and coiled it a few times, and the blue sea water in the bottle swayed left and right.

The "Death Number" is also dangling in it, and you can see the smaller ones, the quilts

The crew controlled by the "disgraceful puppet" washes the deck and sorts out the clutter.

"Yes." The demon looked at the delicate artifact and said, "Yes, but there were, at least when you circled around the ruins of the Divine War, she wasn't there. ”

"After all, the writer is also the first sequence, she should have come when you were walking around the ruins of the god war, I'm afraid she was worried about what you found in the ruins, your bad luck must have Adam's handiwork, in addition, she should have also discovered your 'immortality'."

"But it doesn't matter, at most I think of you as a vessel for my Advent, not a real life. At least when I met Bernadette, she should have been there, or I would have been in a little trouble. "Edward's finish

"Death Call", put it aside again, and asked, "I will take Bernadette's bounty, the power of the demigods is not enough." There's nothing else to do, by the way, you don't like to eat dim sum and drink afternoon tea? Agaritu thought for a while: "There is no such column in the preferences of the character, and if you are a staple food, the preference is meat and offal, including humans, which are medium-rare." ”

"Then I won't continue to entertain you, I've been trying the Southern Continent Specialty Vegetable Salad recently." Edward served tea to the guests,

"Let's go."

The "Immortal King" stood up quietly and took it

"Death" walked away quickly. 498 last Monday of April. In the quiet hotel room, the dark and deep radio receiver instantly returned to normal, and the surrounding light was no longer gloomy.

Crane was busy preparing for the ritual, sacrificing it to the Grey Mist, before he was in the mood to reflect on the answer he had just received.

according to

The clues provided by "Magic Mirror" Alodes, combined with Mr. Azik and

"Serpent of Destiny" Will. Unsetin's answer, Crane initially had a plan for the next stage.

It wasn't just that he wanted to take a break and return to Beckland, but that he would see the metropolis as a major event for a long time to see if he could steal the Antigonus family notebook from the church of St. Samuel in the Church of the Goddess of the Night.

If you decide that there is no way, try to turn to a similar extraordinary path, and if that is not possible, you have to take the last route, to the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains.

"Hmm...... Back to Beckland, you must not be able to use the identity of Sherlock Moriarty openly, unless you want to fish out Ince. Zangwill may be a faction of the royal family hidden in the shadows, but when contacting acquaintances or using Steam Church resources, he can revert back to Sherlock Moriarty. ”

"Speaking of which, is Edward Vaughn still missing? The trail of an angel is indeed hard to find, and it is hoped that she will not be seen in Beckland again. Crane reverently drew a crimson moon in his heart.

"In short, we have to use a new identity again, and we have to be completely distinguished from Gelman Sparrow, well, this time I will not go directly back to Port Priety, but go around the Strip of Diece, so that no one can find out where he came from." Crane's thoughts raced, and he soon had a clear idea.

After initially determining the direction, he originally wanted to extract blood and go to the gray mist to explore "Grossell's Travels" with a spirit body, but considering that there was a tarot meeting in the afternoon, he lay back on the bed and rested and relaxed.

…… Kingdom of Rune, County Diece. Amon was dressed comfortably and casually like an ordinary college student, holding a newspaper and hot milk, standing in line on the side of the street for what was said to be the most delicious Dixi pie, the white vapor wafting through the air with the sweet smell of pie.

Amon sniffed: "It seems a little too sweet...... But it's also worth trying. He bought the milk for the mix, and added a little sugar to it, but it was not sweet compared to the drinks sold in the market.

The owner is an elderly woman, the waiters and cooks appear to be her grandchildren, and her family portrait hangs on the wall.

Looking at their busy scene, the guests unconsciously calmed down. A child ran by, with a whistle calling a carrier pigeon, a young girl bought Dixie's pie and left with her companion expectantly and happily, a gentleman kept looking at his watch, and kept looking at the five people in front of him, stamping his feet anxiously and reluctant to leave, and another

The "substitute" hurried over, and when he saw so many people in front of him, he almost opened his mouth to curse, but he still endured his impatience, and proudly gave up the penultimate position to a little girl, and stood at the end of the line.

The crow stood on the tree by the river, the crow stood on the spire of the church, and the crow watched everything in front of him.

He stood in the midst of the busy crowd in the early morning, not very interested in anything, but as if everything was fresh.

…… Southern Continent, Aldra. On the site of the demolished old Doge's Palace, the Order of Spirit built the Empress's palace with incredible speed, and the streets were decorated with the characteristics of the Byron Empire, and the streets were plastered with ornaments and notices proclaiming sovereignty.

The smashing of the branch of the Central Sunian Company and the repatriation or killing of foreigners who had not had time to flee declared that it was no longer a colony of Rune.

In the depths of the palace, in front of the Empress, Mirela fell to her knees, her forehead pressed against the woolen carpet.

He reported in a steady tone, "...... The Artificial Reaper Party has shown their support for us, and High Priest Hetel has shown goodwill and wants to step up their cooperation. ”

But at the same time, Haitel also responded that the progress of the 'Artificial Death' would not stop, she, she said...... Her Majesty's actions are desperate and cannot guarantee absolute victory, so she must leave another fire for the Church of the Grim Reaper and for the Empire of Byron. In order to expand their influence, both factions are fiercely discussing whether to change their name back

"Church of the Grim Reaper", which is rare unanimity. But when they agreed,

The Pale Empress rejected the proposal, and she pressured the Artificial Reaper to abandon the stupid ones if the two factions could not merge into one

The idea of "artificial gods" to stop the desecration of the Great Grim Reaper, and neither party can change its name. Behind the curtain, Thea Eggers was silent, and Mirela did not feel the anger or heaviness, and continued: "It is said that the condition of the High Priest of Hetel, who was severely eroded during a certain ritual to worship the 'Artificial Death', is still not improving...... Your Majesty, you ......" Sia Eggers thought, silent as a statue.

"Erosion", the word is very interesting, the High Priest of Hetel is an angel, second only to himself in the status of the Spirit Order, why would the organization of a sacrifice to a false god be eroded?

How can "uniqueness" erode others? It is impossible for uniqueness to erode the extraordinary, only the difference between accommodating smooth and unsmooth!

Over the years, the Eggers royal family has determined that the whole country has never been able to find another uniqueness and sequence one, which must be and that

The "Grim Reaper's Legacy" is hidden, but they lack the key to unlock it. This also directly led to the collapse of the godless southern continent in the war of aggression, and became a miserable people who were oppressed and humiliated, and the Eggers royal family itself became a government in exile, and after a hundred years of survival, it finally gained a place.

Even the lowest-level people in the Northern Continent have objects that can be oppressed, that is, the people at the bottom of the Southern Continent!

"It doesn't matter." Thea Eggers said calmly: "Heytel has not asked us for help, she must have prepared for everything. "Haitel may not be the same Haitel anymore.

She was once wise and rational, but now she seems to have been brainwashed, madly regarding false gods as the ultimate salvation.

"Man-made Grim Reaper" - the real face is

The uniqueness and sequence of the "Shinigami" path have been activated by the man-made Shinami's prayers and sacrifices for many years, and have become equivalent to

The existence of the "King of Angels of the Death Path" is not surprising that Hetel, who has hit the second sequence hard. It's strange why one is made by the Grim Reaper

The consciousness activated by "praying for help" can actually hurt the person seeking help! unless

The "man-made death" thinks that he is powerless to change, and salvation is to let the believers die, but after hurting Hetel,

The "Artificial Grim Reaper" has strangely become well-behaved, responding to prayers normally, as if it had only been an accident before.

"Hetel can no longer be trusted",

"The man-made Grim Reaper may be more than just a simple activation of uniqueness",

"If necessary, you can discard the whole man-made Grim Reaper" words,

"The Pale Empress" did not say and could not say.

"Uniqueness is likely to have been ...... by some angel control", which is the worst possible and most likely true.

This possibility doomed Thea Eggers to be unable to fulfill her long-cherished wish, she was already doomed to failure, it was impossible to drive the people of the northern continent out of the mournful southern continent, it was impossible to regain the land, regain the country, and regain the people!

So what's the point of these struggles now? Thea Eggers said calmly: "If I fail...... Mirela was shocked and hurriedly raised her head: "Please don't say such things!" ”

"Mirela, you are the loyal courtier who has been with me for the longest time, and you were already my guard officer when the Byron Empire was still alive, these words are only known to you and me, and after leaving this room, you must forget."

The "Pale Empress" did not look at Mirera, who was speechless, she looked at a painting on the wall of the room, and said softly: "After retaking Aldra, I still have the strength to spare, and soon, I will announce the restoration of the Bairan Empire, the restoration of the royal family of Eggers." She was silent for two seconds: "Si'a is also preparing to seize the city and restore the country, she is willing to establish the first diplomatic relations with our regime, I will promote you to Sequence 3, become the speaker of the royal family, manage internal and external affairs, amend the law, and let the people support us." ”

"Your adopted son has attended the military academy in Fersak and is a wonderful man, find a way to bring him back." Thea Eggers said,

"Tell him that if he is not satisfied with the policies of the Byron Empire, then come and change it." Mirela hesitated: "Yes." ”

"If we follow the trend of the times, we will not be able to profit anymore, because there is no place for us in the future predestined by the gods. Therefore, I will take the initiative to declare war, and the rest of the war and victory will depend on how far we can go. ”

"Her Majesty the Empress......"

"Beware of the Grim Reaper, and don't ask for help from Azk Eggers." Behind the veil, Thea Eggers' expression remained unwavering: "She is nominally our ancestor, but she has never loved us. ”

"We prayed to her when the country was ruined, we prayed to her when we were hungry and cold, I grew up listening to her myths and the Grim Reaper when I was young, and the royal family of Eggers waited for this ancestor for a thousand years, waiting for her denial and disgust."

"I don't understand what we did wrong, maybe it was our original sin not growing up by her side, but it doesn't matter, the royal family and the Spirit Order have supported her for more than two hundred years, and I am no longer the princess who listens to the story."

"She won't help us, she'll just ask us why we don't give in, or even help us give in." Mirela was silent for a long time, then slowly lowered her head and pressed against the carpet again.

"Do your will." He said. Thea Eggers said in a beautiful, yet deadly silent voice: "If I die in battle......

“…… Don't be sad, I just went back to my father and God, fought the best battle, did everything I could do, and fought to the end in the name of the last emperor. ”

"My country will collapse again, but the nations of the Northern Continent may be afraid to oppress and hurt you, because there are still people in this land who will resist, at least in the pre-apocalyptic period, you may be better off." Will they all be wiped out...... Mirela couldn't help but think.

However, for the followers of the Grim Reaper, death is not a terrible thing.

"Get up." As the warm sunlight fell indoors, Thea Iger finally took her eyes off the painting.

"Let's think about the contents of the declaration of war." TBC —————— briefly skimmed over the Tarot Society, Grossell's Travels, and the Red Light that was fighting for the manuscript of the second-generation difference machine and planning to die at the door of Crane.
