Chapter 213: The Polluted (2-in-1)
Because he didn't know what the identity of the other party was, whether he was an extraordinary person, and what sequence he was in, Roman didn't rush to get very close, but just watched from a distance, relying on his outstanding eyesight, hiding in the shadows to observe the situation, and slowly approached.
Although he couldn't hear the sound, Roman still saw some clues.
The new passenger of the "St. Veran" was a middle-aged man, with a grim face and a thin figure, and when he faced the middle-aged man in front of him, who was slightly taller than him, he looked a little humble, as if to report something to him.
Roman held the "Traveling Staff" and slowly approached little by little.
The two men didn't know if they were more comfortable with the secrecy of the current environment, or if they weren't vigilant themselves, and they didn't react when Roman approached, as if they hadn't noticed Roman.
This also allows Roman to hear some sounds in the wind.
Qualified Offerings......
Action time......
Arrival in Baiam......
Storm Church ......
A few suspicious people......
There were some intermittent voices, and Roman heard some key words in bits and pieces.
This also made Roman guess the identities of the two in front of him, and vaguely felt why they had infiltrated the "St. Furan".
Roman didn't really want to be nosy if he could, but now he himself was going to Baiam on the "St. Furan", and the safety of the ship was, to some extent, his safety.
And the words that came out of the mouths of the two people in front of him, and the actions they were carrying out now, told Roman that they were carrying out some dangerous schemes,
At the very least, take them to the local Storm Church for further interrogation and find out what they were behind it.
Just as Roman was thinking about how to achieve his goal as quickly as possible, the taller man handed the thin man a small metal box after a conversation.
The thin man respectfully opened the box, and when he saw the contents, he had a crazy and reverent expression on his face
And at this moment, Roman's spirituality was frantically warning as if it were something terrifying and abnormal.
As the thin man closed the box, the aura of danger disappeared from Roman's spiritual senses, but Roman did not relax in the slightest at the moment.
Although the object in the box just showed its breath for a short moment, the madness and evil that Roman felt were so real.
Seeing that the two men had left after handing over their belongings, Roman did not hesitate any longer, and followed the thin man with the dangerous tin box all the way to a dark alley.
Seeing that there was no one around, Roman no longer hesitated, and then pulled out the black snake, holding the "Traveling Staff" in his left hand.
Without knowing the sequence of enemies, and not knowing whether the enemies had dangerous magical items, Roman just did not rashly shoot at the two men when they were together, but chose to wait for their orders, and the best target was the skinny man who was holding the dangerous little iron box in his hand.
And now it's finally made Roman wait for his chance.
Without any spare hand Roman, he is ready and ready to go all out.
However, the thin man in front of him was much weaker than Roman had imagined.
Just the "Spiritual Piercing" from the "Black Snake" combined with the physical attack directly knocked the man to the ground.
The sharp pain in his brain seemed to come from the depths of his soul, which directly made him faint.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Roman thinks that the "Spiritual Piercing" using the "Black Snake", without the reinforcement of Ms. Tamara, this "Spiritual Piercing" is roughly equivalent to the attack of Sequence Seven, the "Interrogator", but the effect is surprisingly good.
The man fell to the ground in pain and fainted.
Roman checked it uneasily, and after finding that he really fainted, he began to set up psychics.
Since there was no conclusive evidence to prove that the man in front of him was guilty of a crime that should be sentenced to death, Roman did not choose to directly kill him.
Instead, they choose to make it incapacitated.
When he found that the strength of the man's spirit body in front of him was very low and the sequence was probably not high, Roman decided to channel directly.
After cautiously inspecting the surrounding area, and arranging the enhanced spiritual wall learned from the Abrahamic family to ensure that it would not be disturbed, Roman began to arrange the ritual, took out the "psychic blade", and prepared to perform the channeling.
A moment later, Roman's channeling ended, and the expression on his face changed from confusion to shock to anger.
The thin man in front of him was named Madeira, a pirate, and the people who had just been on his street were his superiors, and they had their eyes on the "St. Furan", where Roman was.
The reason for eyeing the St. Veran is also very simple, because the ship is big enough and carries enough passengers to meet their needs.
This is also what makes Roman feel angry.
They needed sacrifices, sacrifices to the beings of their faith, and there had been many ships that had been killed by them.
But what makes Roman wonder at first is that the existence they believe in is not the evil gods that Roman knows.
Not the True Creator, not the Primordial Witch, not even the Abyss and the dark side of the universe.
Roman originally believed in the god of death, but the god of death should no longer be able to accept sacrifices.
And the Artificial Reaper in his current state would not accept this level of sacrifice.
It wasn't until Roman saw his memories that the deity they believed in, and from Madeira's memories, Roman saw that their captain, who was also the oracle in charge of them, declared that they believed in a god who was in charge of curse and death.
To please that god, you need enough death, and to please him, you can get the bestow of power.
Their captain, who called himself an oracle, was a man named Abayro who claimed to have been bewitched by the gods and received an oracle.
From Madeira's memories, Roman saw the captain named Abayro and understood what was inside the small tin box in his hand.
It was a special item that they called the "Sacrificial Seed", and it was said that it was given by the deity, and when the ship's sacrifice arrived at its designated location, it could be completed by activating the "sacrificial seed" to send down their gods.
In Roman's point of view, this is an unfinished secret ritual or sacrificial ritual that borrows some high atmosphere.
When the sacrifice is ready, the celebrant of the ceremony opens by activating the so-called "sacrificial seed", a sacrifice that will be offered to everyone on board, including the holder of the "sacrificial seed".
And the Madeira in front of him, the memory that Roman obtained through psychics, also knew what his current state was.
This also made Roman a little lucky, the Madeira in front of him is most likely a "madman" in Sequence 8, and he should have a good resistance to mental attacks and mental disturbances.
If Roman didn't choose "Psychic Piercing" just now, but chose the "Whip of Pain" of the "Interrogator", then maybe he would have the opportunity to make some counterattacks, such as intentionally or unintentionally activating the "Sacrificial Seed" in his hand, revealing the aura of the high personality above.
After secretly lamenting his luck, Roman looked at the iron box in his hand and did not dare to open it.
From the perception just now, Roman seemed to perceive that the item in the box in front of him should be just a trace of breath, and although the evil and madness on it were terrifying, it was not enough to make Roman feel mortal danger.
The real danger is that once it is not handled properly, after the "Sacrificial Seed" is activated, the "Sacrificial Seed" owner's gaze is projected, or power descends.
If Roman was right, the captain of the "St. Furan" should have some background in the Storm Church, he thought about it and decided to directly report the prisoner in his hand and the results of the psychic spirit just now to the Storm Church.
Roman didn't know if there would be other men on that ship, the cursed envoy Abayro.
Are there any other "sacrificial seeds" that have been boarded on the ship at this moment?
So the best thing to do is to keep the ship from leaving port.
Although he wasn't very familiar with the Substitute Punisher team of the Storm Church in Port Tiana, Roman felt that this was the best way to do it at the moment.
From Madeira's memories and what happened in the surrounding seas, Abayro, known as the Cursed Oracle, was only the leader of a medium-sized pirate group with only one ship in his hands, the Black Whale, and Madera Nash was his subordinate.
In the western waters of the Moby Dick Sea, in the process of raiding, they were very unlucky and encountered the cursed ship of that sea.
But for some reason, they all survived.
Since then, Captain Abayro has changed little by little, and even claims to be a cursed oracle.
The whale pirate group, which used to be mainly a raider, has since become brutal.
However, the efficiency of ordinary raiding on the sea alone was too low, and they eventually set their sights on large passenger ships.
In particular, the golden safe shipping route from the port of Priezz to Baiam is where countless passenger ships come and go every day.
In the northern direction of the coast of Rune there were ironclad ships, which often cruised, and they did not dare to move there.
But in the southern seas, near Baiam, they have already acted many times and achieved some results.
It was they who finally set their sights on the luxury passenger ship "St. Furan", which is also a luxury passenger ship with a large passenger capacity.
When Roman saw the contents of these memories, the doubts on his face disappeared when he combined the news he had received before, and he became clear and shocked.
He still remembered that there was an extremely dangerous "1" level seal that was active in that sea, and it was formed by the fusion of the high-sequence extraordinary characteristics of the "Bound" path and the high-sequence extraordinary characteristics of the "Reaper" path.
In this way, the seal now has the nature of being alive and is able to actively develop believers.
It's like the flagship of the immortal king Agaritu, the "Death".
From this point of view, at that time, the ghost ship at least had a "Silent Disciple" trait or a "Ferryman" trait fused together.
Because only when sequence 3 is reached, can one respond to prayer and respond to believers within a certain range.
It has the nature of being alive, and its ability to actively respond to prayers can empower believers.
At the same time, it can also initially transform believers, make them religious, and change their character.
Madeira was not an extraordinary man before, however, after going through this incident, in a short period of time, he is now a "madman" of Sequence 8.
Roman didn't know if the captain Abayro had been polluted by the ghost ship, or if he had begun to devout himself in the ghost ship and become its puppet.
But that can't hide the many crimes they have committed, and they have sacrificed the lives of many innocent ordinary people to curry favor with their so-called gods.
And now that this Madeira is alive than dead, Roman controls his emotions and is cautious, and in the darkness he teleports continuously to the Church of the Storm in the port of Tiana.
After revealing his identity, Roman entered the church and began to wait for a while.
The substitute for the Storm Church in Port Tiana will need to send a message to the Church of the Waves of Baiam to confirm Roman's identity.
And because Roman's report was too important, it was no longer within the scope of an ordinary punisher squad leader to handle.
So at the same time, I asked for help from the Church of the Waves, hoping that they could send a strong man to solve the matter in front of him that obviously involved a high-level powerhouse and a sacrifice to the evil god.
Roman showed no impatience for this, as long as he stopped the departure of the "St. Furan" before dawn today, it would be enough for Roman.
And it's really not an ordinary substitute punisher squad leader who can solve it.
Even if he is a "Wind Sweeper", he is considered a relatively powerful kind among the captains of the substitute punisher team.
It wasn't long before the bearded Substitute Punisher squad leader walked up to Roman with a telegram.
"Mr. Roman, the Wave Church has sent a telegram confirming your identity, and because this matter is too serious, the Wave Church has a telegram saying that it needs your help and is waiting for His Excellency the Bishop."
Roman nodded, not surprised him.
In Roman's mind, an extremely dangerous "Level 1" seal, an extraordinary item roaming the waters west of the Moby Dick Sea in the north of Byam, the Storm Church should have responded to this a long time ago and come up with a solution, and it was even possible that an earth angel would directly take action to contain this dangerous object.
However, months have passed since Roman learned of the seal, and this dangerous object is still roaming the seas, threatening sailors, fishermen, merchant ships, and passenger ships, which is clearly not in line with the usual habits of the Storm Church, unless their upper echelons are stopped by someone?
Considering that this item is a mixture of high-level items of the "Bound" path and the high-level sequence of the "Death" path, both the Spirit Order and the Rose School have the possibility of making a move, and even the Church of the God of War and the Church of the Night Goddess have the motive to secretly investigate.
Maybe it's because the situation is too chaotic, maybe there has been a demigod-level or even angel-level battle in a place that Roman doesn't know, in short, this item can not only continue to stay on the sea, but also has polluted a lot of pirates.
Roman believed that the matter of the Abyro pirate captain was certainly not a special case, and that the so-called god of curse and death must have secretly developed many followers on the sea.
While Roman was waiting for the support of the Church of the Waves, the substitute punisher who went to the docks to monitor suddenly came with a message.
"St. Furan", departed.
