Diego's burns have reached very serious levels.

The Emperor's prosthetic eye captured very weak signs of life, and even if the orphans rushed him to the hospital in the harbor immediately, he might not be able to save his life.

In addition to his own burns, he was at risk of becoming infected.

Death could take him at any moment, but even Diego himself waited peacefully for death to come, the teenager had no attachment to life in his eyes, and he seemed to believe in the better place mentioned by the other orphans.

This made the "Emperor" wonder if the cult mentioned by Father Gaudele really existed.

Fanatical beliefs can dispel people's fear of death and make them feel comfortable facing it.

He saw it all in Diego.

But he wasn't a believer in the gods, especially since he had only recently confronted the "gods" in the First District, so he immediately bandaged Diego and carried him straight to the hospital in the port.

He wants to save Diego and then learns about "God the Father" from the mouths of these children.

Because he had a hunch that the "gods" did not die with the failed coup d'état in District 1, the high-ranking councillors fled for an unknown purpose.

According to the information provided by the Seagulls, they should have passed through the uncharted waters and arrived at the mysterious Misty Islands.

And the eyes that lurked in the depths of the ocean were still watching him.

From the moment he came to Silvermoon Harbor, he was targeted by the other party.

The other orphans did not act aggressively, allowing the "Emperor" to take the dying Diego out, and the older girl told everyone to stay in the abandoned building and not come out, and followed herself from a distance.

After a long period of rescue, Diego was temporarily out of danger.

However, doctors indicated that in order to avoid infection of the wound, Diego would need to stay in the hospital for the next week.

She arranged for Diego to a private room, which was so private that no one would usually pass by.

"The doctor at the port owes me a favor, you can stay here with peace of mind, she won't betray you."

After settling Diego, the 'Emperor' spoke to the little girl who came with him.

He noted the peculiarities of the latter.

When she is in the port or even in the hospital, the people around her seem to subconsciously ignore her presence.

"He's still saved, don't thank me."

"Why? Don't you believe in the existence of 'God the Father'? ”

"I'm an atheist."

The Emperor's prosthetic eyes shimmered with a pale blue light, and he quipped, "You should know by looking at me, I only believe in science." ”

Fortunately, compared to the fanatical cultists, the behavior of these orphans is quite normal.

They just stayed quietly and didn't do anything to hurt others.

Seeing that the little girl fell silent, he added, "But you can tell me about your 'Father', which also has something to do with the Church of the Tides?" ”

"No, He saved us from the clutches of the Church of the Tides."

"Why? Are the people of the church not treating you well? ”

The "Emperor" said this deliberately.

In fact, he also guessed that the Tides Church had other plans to take in these orphans.

There is always no shortage of orphans in Silvermoon Harbor, as going to sea is quite a dangerous act for the people of this city, and every month some brave and adventurous people leave Silvermoon Harbor by boat and never return to it.

"Father Godell is going to sacrifice us to the monsters of the sea."

"Are you sure? As far as I know, Father Gaudel is highly respected, and he would not have committed such a despicable act. ”

"Only then will their ships be able to reach the Misty Islands, a pact they made with those sea monsters."

The girl shook her head and said in an affirmative tone, "We all saw it." ”

"Is it the 'Father' you mentioned that made it visible to you?"

"No, it's Kaisha."

"Kaisha?"

"She's a friend of ours, she went to sea with the ship not long ago, and she has some special abilities that allow us to see everything she sees."

Psionic beings.

The Emperor quickly determined Kaisha's identity, and not long ago, a ship from the Tide Church had indeed gone to sea to send the high-ranking councilors to the Misty Islands to avoid being tracked down by the coalition government.

Whether it's the time or the event, it can match the number.

"What do you see?"

"A monster like a mountain, right on the sea."

As if thinking of something terrible, the girl folded her arms and trembled slightly, "They threw Kai'Sa into the sea, and the tentacles dragged her into the sea...... Father Gauder had intended for us to follow the ship out to sea, but it was Diego who prayed to 'God the Father' to help us escape. ”

The girl's explanation made the "emperor" a little confused.

If the child is not lying, then it means that the identity of the "Father" she mentioned is the opposite of the eyes in the deep sea, and they are more like robbing each other of believers.

"So, who told you about the existence of 'God the Father'?"

The girl shook her head, "...... I don't know, we heard a voice at night, it said 'God the Father' will save us, so you shouldn't do it, Diego has suffered too much, 'God the Father' will take him to a better place. ”

"I don't think so, but you can try to pray to your 'Father' again and see what He will say. I'm here with you. ”

The girl hesitated for a while, but finally complied.

Diego used to be prepared for prayer, and he was the first to hear those voices.

But if Diego is leaving, then she will take over Diego's responsibilities and become a bridge between the children and the "Father".

She took out her ritual dagger and slit her wrist.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed in pain, and the bright red blood flowed into the bowl, and then, with her index finger dipped in the blood in the bowl, she wrote obscure words on the white walls of the hospital.

These symbols were taught to her by Diego himself, and Diego seemed to know his fate for a long time, so he planned in advance what would happen after he left.

The "Emperor" did not say anything, and silently handed the hemostatic spray to the girl.

The girl faces the wall, closes her eyes, and prays.

The whole process lasted about five minutes, and the "Emperor" kept observing the text and symbols on the wall, and they did not change in any way.

Five minutes later, the girl opened her eyes.

Those clear eyes were full of great doubts.

"What does your 'Father' say?"

"'Father' Him...... Let's trust the doctors. ”

The result of this prayer was completely different from what she had imagined, "He also told us to take precautions and beware of wound infections. ”
