566

Silently exhaling, Colin took a step back and recited in a voice with a slight sense of vicissitudes:

"Fools who do not belong to this age;

"The mysterious lord above the gray mist;

"The Yellow and Black King who rules good fortune;

"I pray to you, for mystical powers, for the gift of good luck, for the objects on the altar to form a charm......"

As soon as Colin's frustrating, rhythmic and mysterious voice fell, the altar he saw suddenly became dark and deep, as if an indescribable and indescribable divinity was pouring out of the candle flame in the middle.

The candle flame suddenly rose and became larger, but instead of illuminating the surroundings, it made everything more illusory, so that countless transparent shadows of different shapes and shapes that seemed to exist appeared everywhere, sparse or dense.

In the heights of this illusory world and countless figures, there are seven clear discs of different colors, which seem to contain endless knowledge.

And above these seven pure lights, there is an endless gray mist, an ancient palace that looks down on everything.

"Demon Hunter" Colin forgot about anything else for a moment, and just looked at the picture on the altar intently, as if something that only existed in books and ancient books had crossed the obstacles of illusion and reality, and really came to him.

Two thousand five hundred and eighty-three years......

Two thousand five hundred and eighty-three years later, Silver City finally got another normal response.

……

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, Crane, who was sleeping soundly in his spacious bed, suddenly woke up to the feeling that his spiritual marker on the ship had been touched, and the direction of the fluctuation was another cabin, where the blue-eyed hunter was.

Crane wanted to go to Fort Source to take a look, but after thinking about it, he closed his eyes again and rolled over.

"Not in Beckland again, now at sea......"

"A high-order powerhouse...... If I didn't get to the angel, it was most likely a hunter of the Sage, and I didn't sleep in the middle of the night and quietly held a ritual, can I really manage it? "It can't be done, even if you really find out that the other party has a problem, in the vast sea, you can't give this hunter a lightning bolt from the source fort, besides, my voyage is supervised by the Dark Sage, and I have also filed with the Iron Cross Society, Crane closed his eyes comfortably, "More is better than less, sleep." ”

But after closing his eyes, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, and finally turned over and got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

On the source fort, Crane, who was dressed in a nightgown, yawned a long time, stretched out his hand, took out his pendulum from the pile of debris, and squinted his eyes to write the divination statement:

"Companions will be bad for me"

I closed my eyes, repeated it seven times, and almost fell asleep. When Klein opened his eyes again, he found that the citrine pendulum was spinning sharply counterclockwise, and the citrine had turned into a yellow ring, like a small fan.

Not only will it not be bad for me, but it will be good for me? What happened? Crane was quite surprised by this answer, and even wanted to summon the "Magic Mirror" Arodus to ask immediately, but after thinking about it, he still suppressed his curiosity and prepared to wait and see.

After doing the divination, Klein simulated the feeling of falling, returned to the real world, and returned to the bed with residual warmth.

Nothing happened overnight.

The passenger ship sailed smoothly on the sea, and Klein slept comfortably until noon, asked the ship's cook to cook himself a steak, and made a few desserts with the supplies prepared on board.

There's no need to maintain the character of Dawn Dantès at sea, and you don't have to waste uneaten snacks.

In the evening, he walked out of his room and prepared to go for a walk on the deck. At this moment, I found that the blue-eyed man was also standing on the deck, frowning at a piece of paper in the palm of his hand, looking up into the distance from time to time.

No sooner had Crane stepped on the carpet in the outer corridors than the blue-eyed hunter turned his head almost at the same time. A flame stealthily rose in his hand and burned the note.

Is that what he got out of the ritual last night? With an impeccable smile, Klein greeted the other party:

"Good afternoon, sir, how was your rest last night?"

The hunter paused for a moment, as if he was wondering if something had been discovered, but he seemed to be very confident in his concealment methods, and in the blink of an eye, he adjusted his expression and said without revealing a flaw:

"Good."

His tone was as condescending as ever, and his contempt for others because of his abilities was almost exactly the same as that of Hazel Macht, but he was also slightly more pleasant because of the kindness expressed by Klein:

"I'll reward you. But, now you have to change your route. ”

Klein suddenly had some bad premonitions: "Why is this?" ”

The blue-eyed hunter raised the corners of his mouth disapprovingly:

"Because, your and my destination, the port of Behrens, was urgently closed last night. No organized or private vessels are now allowed to enter, except for military and State vessels. ”

Klein's brows furrowed slightly, he behaved with restraint, and did not ask the other party where he got the news from the vast sea:

“…… Wouldn't it be possible to have an officer's paperwork? ”

"You really don't know anything...... Forget it, it's normal not to know. The one who announced the closure of the port was a big man, and what was the tallest officer you could find? Captain? Captain? Or is it some nobleman with no name? Heh, even those generals of Rune have no right to let him open the net. ”

The hunter narrowed his eyes, and said without any surprise or hurry: "The route you picked happens to be the closest route from Desey Bay to Port Behrens, and now you can't take this route." Otherwise, when you arrive at Behrens to-morrow night, you may be able to go in with the officer's papers, but the people on board will be locked up, and your goods will be confiscated, and you will never see them again. ”

He deliberately said it very seriously.

Did Behrens go into wartime yesterday?

The Church of the Grim Reaper doesn't fight sooner or later, but it's just in the few days I've been here? If I hadn't divined it in advance, the danger of this trip would have been within my acceptable range, and I couldn't help but wonder if it was a "coincidence...... Listening to the hunter's deliberate intimidation, Crane wasn't too surprised or nervous. Of course, all this comes from his Sequence 5 ability, if he is just a middle-aged rich man who has no ability to protect himself, he may already be a little panicked by now.

Of course, he also prepared a lot of paper figure stand-ins for himself as bodyguards.

The results of the divination showed that his actions would be beneficial to me...... Klein made a calm appearance that was a little flustered, but in line with the image of a character who had "participated in battles in the Southern Continent and had rich combat experience", and asked quietly:

"So what do you think we should do now?"

The hunter raised his eyebrows, though he didn't show it, but he seemed to be very impressed by Crane's knowledge and awe.

"Turn around, sail as I instruct."

The hunter said proudly, "You should be glad to have met me, I will take you from a safe port into the Southern Continent, otherwise you and your goods will fall into the pockets of those port officials...... By the way, who the hell are you giving these things to? Who's helping? ”

"Who's a bribe? Or materiel? There seem to be a lot of items and weapons in it, which of the Aurora Society asked you to come? ”

He was alone on deck, the sea breeze blew the words away, and the blue-eyed hunter looked at the middle-aged rich man without blinking.

Klein's frontal horn blood vessels jumped.

If it was for the Predator Cross, would he just take all these things away when he arrived in the private port?

If it was for the nobles of Rune, would he just take these things away after arriving in the private harbor, and then detain himself?

"It's a bribe."

Daun Dantès replied immediately, and deliberately added a lot of nonsense to confuse his answer: "These items are to be sent to the nobles of the Runnes to bribe them, and I have been entrusted by the nobles of Rune to send them some things and contact each other's feelings. If I can successfully complete this commission, I will be able to gain more contacts and status in Rune's high society. Among them were many officers and nobles above the earl, such as Colonel Alfred Hall, the second son of the Earl of Hall of Rune, the nephew of Colonel Calvin, and the eldest son of Viscount Grote......"

This long passage annoyed the hunter and furrowed his brow.

And this is exactly Klein's purpose, because the other party's behavior and tone of speech do not seem to be of aristocratic origin, and the upright personality is not interested in the twists and turns between nobles. While Crane was still talking, a cross burst out of the hunter's forehead, and he immediately waved his hand repeatedly:

"Got it! There's a lot of nonsense, since it's for the Lord's activities, then you should leave as soon as you get to the private port, I'm too lazy to talk to you Runnes, there are still two hundred kilometers from Caesar Port to Behrens. ”

200 km...... It's a bit of a detour......

Crane gasped slightly. He was about to speak, when he suddenly felt some strange spiritual fluctuations.

The sound of the surrounding waves became extremely turbulent at some point, and there was no sign of subsiding, as if a tsunami was brewing.

He looked around in amazement, and through the thickening fog of the sea, he could vaguely see lead clouds overhead, waves like peaks, black storms stretching from the surface of the sea to the air, and silver and white lightning tearing everything apart without a sound.

The void became translucent, as if a huge door to the underworld with no visible edge opened, skeletons with open mouths, vines protruding the baby's face, bloody arms, and grotesquely shaped greasy tentacles with teeth rising from the sea, swimming aimlessly under the water, pale arms and vines constantly making grasping movements.

The almost invisible ghosts and ghosts flew back and forth, screaming, only to be blown away by the wind.

At this moment, the sea is like the legendary underworld, eerie, dark, chaotic, and crazy.

Klein understood a little, but was even more puzzled: "...... The Church of the Grim Reaper came to sea? ”

"It's not just that, it's a lot more complicated than you think......"

The hunter laughed, "If I hadn't taken you into shelter, you'd have died quietly!" ”

The surrounding fog cut off everything, and the spirit could not detect the surroundings, Crane turned sideways, and as if inadvertently, he took out a gold coin and was about to throw it upward, but at this moment, his vision was suddenly occupied by a huge black curtain-

——An ironclad ship dozens of meters high suddenly appeared in front of Klein, and the private passenger liner hired by himself was like an inconspicuous toy, just getting close to it would be overturned by the waves stirred up by the other party!

At the same time, the fog that shrouded the boat quickly thinned, but the speed of the ship also increased visibly to the naked eye, as if things related to reality were strengthened, and the occult side was rapidly weakened.

The wind and waves nearly lifted off Daunne Dantès's hat, and Crane unconsciously held his breath, but neither the ship nor the people on board seemed to notice the sudden appearance of a small boat next to it, nor did they notice the strange fog.

"Ha, you've just entered the Furious Sea, is the situation over there already so interesting?" The blue-eyed hunter had taken control of the ship's direction and quickly turned towards the southeast.

"Who's on this ship? Reinforcements from the Sunia Sea, or troops transferred from the Rorsted Islands to block sea routes? Who are the members of the Church of the Grim Reaper who came to stop it, it looks very lively. ”

There was no negative emotion on his face, and he could even call it enthusiastic: "I have to speed up, otherwise I won't be able to catch up!" ”

The hunter yelled at Crane, "Hey, Rune! You hold on to the railing of the boat! ”

"I'm going to add-"

The last word was swept away by the wind at the moment of exit, and the small passenger ship suddenly broke through the arms and vines rising from the sea, smashed the waves and storms along the way, and rushed out of this chaotic sea in the blink of an eye, leaving only a trace on the sea.

Crane was thrown back several steps by inertia, and just grabbed the railing when he suddenly heard a click, probably because the passenger liner couldn't bear the load and was disjointed somewhere. Immediately after that, the huge black ironclad ship seemed to have finally discovered its strange little passenger ship, but before they could stop it, the stern suddenly erupted with red flames, and the heat and flames evaporated all the air currents and waves that were chasing it!

I don't know if it's Klein's delusion, but he seems to hear a very narcissistic sneer from the hunter demigod in the wind.

……

"Well, I have to make a serious confession about the current situation."

Trainor turned the pen, his face neither sad nor sincere:

"I confess, I always thought that Medici was in a hurry, but I didn't expect Fersak to be even more anxious. As soon as I passed on the information that Prince Sunia was here, Port Laus and Sunia Island really began to gather troops, ready to take advantage of the chaos to rush south to the Rorsted Islands. ”

Due to the hostility between the god of war and the god of death, the Vorsack Empire did not claim that it had come to fight Rune, but found an excuse to "recover the colony that was taken by Intis".

"A good thing, a good thing!" Tony Towne shouts in Psychic Link.

"It's so loud over there, can you go to a quiet place? And don't talk to me at the limit of the telepathic link, if you don't come again, I'll sell the army of the Rune to Intis and let them fight on their own. ”

"I'm on my way, I'll be in Caesars Harbor tonight, and the siege of Behrens will give me a place."

Tony Towne said in a hurried tone: "By the way, this person who gave me a ride is not bad, but he is going to give bribes to the Rune people, do you want to take care of it?" ”

"What's there to care about, it's not for me." Trainor stopped turning his pen in boredom and reached out to pick up the water glass on the table, "Let him send it, send it to Behrens, and then we knock Behrens down, isn't it all ours?" ”

"I saw a gang of Rune fighting the Church of the Reaper, where did they come from?"

"Have you arrived at Midrange Island?"

"No, just past Harman."

Tranor thought for a moment: "Oh, then you have encountered reinforcements from the Rorsted Islands, I will bring a message to the Church of the Reaper to see if I can get Mirela to lure the Runnes to the Vorsac fleet, I remember that the Vrsac fleet just set off from Gargas the day before yesterday." ”

"By the way, if you come, you'll have time to take a look at Mesanyes...... I'll tell you who Mesanyes is, but in short, there may be a demigod of the Church of Knowledge in Lenburg. ”

"So?"

"Beat him up as an Intisi, don't kill him, and then take the nearby colony of Rune. You can see the situation yourself, and I will lend you an extraordinary item from the 'reader' route to blame the Lenberg demigods for this. ”

The Church of the Sun, the Storm, and the Church of Knowledge are hostile to each other, and frictions have never stopped, and the Sun and the Storm have become hostile to the point where the slightest hint of wind can mobilize relevant information, and knowledge is relatively neutral, but not much better, as can be seen from the size and geographical location of the small country that believes in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Beating the demigods of Lemburg in the name of the Church of the Sun and destroying the colony of Rune in the name of the Church of Knowledge, in the current situation, as long as the news is spread, the two major churches and the people in them will not care whether the matter is true or not.

But, "Why?" ”

"Lenburg seems to be on the side, but it doesn't." "I'll give him a hand." ”

"It's a waste of time to come and go." Tony Donn was a little unhappy, he wanted to be directly involved in the melee of Behrens, "You don't have long legs, you can't run by yourself?" Lazy to grow mushrooms. ”

Trainor sighed and said with great regret:

"Medici hinted to me that I couldn't let Fursack declare war on Rune first, so I came up with the idea of trying to stir up hatred between Rune and the Church of Knowledge first...... If I can do it, the Angel of War will definitely praise me, right? But I don't have much time, and if you don't want to, then I'll ...... myself."

"Look what you're talking about, you're so busy, can I not help you?" Tang En immediately said with righteousness and awe, "Go back and give me the relevant information, I will definitely help you get this thing in place!" ”

"Okay."

Trainor connects the mind to prevent the other party's high mood from affecting him.

Then he reached out and scooped up the cat, dozing off in the sun.

Donn: Thank you, brother.
