On 9 January, the White Onyx arrived at Bansey Island at 6 p.m.

According to the normal plan, the White Onyx departed from the port of Damir and its next stop would be the port of Tiana, which would take about three days to reach at a speed of 13 knots. Once you're out of the port of Tiana, you'll head straight to your final destination, Bayam, the capital of the Rorsted Islands and the city of generosity.

A faster way to sail from Priezzy Port to Baiam is to make only one stopover, at Bansi Port, 120 nautical miles from Damir Harbor.

However, as soon as they left the port of Damir during the day, they encountered pirates, and although they eventually left in a hurry for unknown reasons, there was no real conflict. But know that the route they are on is still safe 'near the sea', and is often patrolled by the kingdom's naval fleet and church ships.

Even when the four kings and seven generals pass by the nearby seas, they will try to keep a low profile and not be obtrusive. However, the appearance of the pirate ship made the captain of the White Onyx, Erlan, feel a little unusual, so he temporarily decided to dock at the port of Bansey in the evening to report the encounter with pirates to the navy and the church.

"Bansey Harbor? Irland is cautious......"

Daniz stood in front of the window, looking out at the already dim harbor and the high lighthouse road.

The pirate group encountered by the White Onyx originally wanted to rob them, but because the 3,000-pound bounty of 'Flame' Daniz was still relatively famous, more than three times higher than the 900-pound bounty of the pirate captain, the other party retreated.

But Ellan didn't know any of this, which is why he decided to report the situation of this 'unusual' pirate group to the Navy and the Church. Even without knowing the truth of the matter, Erlan's decision was not wrong.

After all, this is at sea, and it is impossible to be too cautious.

Klein didn't respond, and Daniz wasn't surprised, he laughed to himself:

"There seems to be some bad legend here."

Klein had already figured out Daniz's character, and did not take the initiative to ask what the legends were, still sitting in his chair, looking at each other calmly.

Uninterrupted, Daniz shook his head:

"Legend has it that more than 300 years ago, when Rune's army first occupied the island, more than 500 soldiers mysteriously disappeared after a heavy fog, and it wasn't long before their bodies appeared on the seashore and on the mountain...... But without exception, they were all skinned. ”

"There is a suspicion that the local aborigines did it, because based on the tombs and murals excavated on the island, the aborigines here seem to have a tradition of cannibalism. But when the bodies were found, the flesh had begun to decompose, but it was well preserved, and it had simply been skinned. ”

"Something like this happened several times, and even the deacons of the Storm Church who came to investigate were not spared, until the Storm Church built a church here and sent a bishop."

Daniz paused, as if to wait for someone to ask a question, but Crane just looked at him calmly.

This made Daniz a little helpless, but he didn't want to interrupt here, so he had to continue to play tricks and slowly speak:

"Eventually, the bishop was skinned and his body was hung in front of the church."

Daniz chuckled and said:

"Of course, the Storm Church certainly can't tolerate this happening, so they sent another archbishop."

"Archbishop? A demigod? ”

Klein's eyes moved slightly, in his cognition, only the Holy One could hold the position of archbishop!

For example, the archbishop of the three major churches in the diocese of Beckland is at least the saint of Sequence 4. And the strength of a bishop is most likely above the deacon, at least a Sequence 5 extraordinary. Even the Sequence 5 Extraordinaire was skinned and hung at the door of his own church, and the violent temper of the Storm Church certainly couldn't swallow this breath, so it made sense to send a saint to save face.

Klein didn't want to push Daniz too hard, after all, he was really interested in this 'legend', so he said lightly:

"And then?"

Daniz had been waiting here for a long time, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked:

"The archbishop had just arrived in Bansey Harbor and was skinned that night, and his body was hung in the door of the church, fluttering in the wind."

Klein looked at him deeply:

"The archbishop is at least at the level of a saint."

"That's why I said it's just a legend."

Daniz shrugged his shoulders and didn't argue with him about anything, just said slowly:

"The death of an archbishop completely angered the Storm Church, and finally their Pope personally intervened to remove the threat from Bansey Island, and this history was hidden."

Without waiting for Klein to answer, Daniz said to himself, "I know you must be asking me, since this history has been hidden, how did I know about it?" It's simple, because I'm an archaeologist! ”

Daniz puffed out his chest proudly, but Crane only glanced at him indifferently.

He neither wanted to ask that question nor believed that Daniz was a so-called archaeologist. He would have known this, most likely from his captain. Before going to sea, he specially inquired about some sea conditions, and the most important information was the four kings and seven generals.

According to the information provided by the 'Hanged Man', 'Lieutenant General Iceberg' Edwina is one of the pirate generals. But she doesn't plunder passing merchant ships, she is more interested in the lost treasures and legends of the seas.

And this legend about Bansi Port is probably also excavated by Edwina. If this is the case, then the credibility of the legend should not be low. And the Storm Church has lost face in Bansey Harbor, and there is a great possibility of hiding this black history.

If you can kill an archbishop of the Storm Church, there will be at least one saint of the same level on that island.

The existence of this level is mostly affiliated with a certain organization. But a skinning organization, Klein had never heard of. The only thing similar to it is the Blood-Worshipping Cult -

This secret organization formed by worshipping demons likes nothing better than performing bloody and terrifying rituals with corpses.

And skinning may also be part of its 'ritual'.

Klein's expression moved slightly, he tapped his fingers on the table, and asked lightly:

"What else do you know?"

"I don't know much."

Daniz was reserved for two seconds, but the corners of his mouth could not hide his strong desire to express himself, and he said slowly, "I only know that the natives of Bansey Island once believed in and sacrificed to their own god of weather, and held rituals four times a year. ”

Klein asked quietly:

"So, it was this god of weather who killed the archbishop? Skinning is part of the ritual? ”

"Nope."

Daniz looked out the window at Bansi Harbor, which was getting closer and closer, and his eyes deepened, "The ritual of the god of weather is to kill the chosen gods, share his blood and flesh, and bury his head in the altar, and the skinning is not in it. And ......"

He paused for two seconds, and said in a quiet tone:

"There is evidence that the god of weather has nothing to do with the skinning ritual. What really does all of this is an organization that calls itself the 'Skinskins', who worship the Queen of the Night, who is said to be the goddess of the night who represents death. ”

"Goddess of the Night?"

Klein's inner emotions became quite subtle, a group of skinned 'divine skin messengers' who declared themselves to be believers in the goddess? Isn't this equivalent to 'blood sacrifice to the god emperor, skull sacrifice to the golden throne'? Worship the wrong god, brother!

Daniz shrugged his shoulders and said:

Obviously, this is the greatest blasphemy for the Church of the Night. Therefore, the organization of the 'Divine Skin Emissary' just appeared, and it quickly disappeared under the joint encirclement of the Storm Church and the Night Church, and both churches coincidentally chose to hide this history. ”

"As a result, very few people have heard of the secret organization of the 'Divine Skin Emissary', and even if they have heard of it, they don't know much about their organizational structure. For example, what is the identity of the queen with the eyes of the night they believe in? And why did it suddenly appear in Pency? ”

Klein suddenly grasped a word, and asked with a calm expression:

"Bincy?"

"Yes, this is the ancient name of Bansey Port, three or four hundred years ago, this place was called Binxi Town, and later because of multiple factors such as pronunciation, it gradually evolved into Bansey." Daniz casually introduced.

Hearing this answer, Crane's eyes contracted. He remembered very well that the evil spirits in the underground ruins of Beckland had said that if they wanted to find one of the founders of the "Rose of Redemption", the former "King of Angels" Medici and his blood descendants, they could try their luck in Pennsey!

Bincy! Crane's mind seemed to be frozen inch by inch, and cold emanated from the depths of his bone marrow.

Bincy's name as a place mentioned by evil spirits in the underground ruins, combined with the legends and customs Daniz recounts, made him shudder. So, he took out a gold coin and did a divination in front of Daniz.

As a result, there was no lurking danger in Bansey Harbor for him.

But that didn't reassure Klein, who abruptly stood up and walked into the bathroom.

Crane pulled out the paper figure, disguised himself, and took four steps backwards into the gray mist.

He sat down at the top of the long bronze table, removed the pendulum on his left wrist, and wrote the corresponding divination sentences:

"There is a hidden danger in Bansey Harbor."

After hanging down the pendulum, posing, and reciting it a few times, Crane opened his eyes and saw that the citrine pendant was turning clockwise, but not by a large margin, and not at a fast speed.

Dangerous, but not ...... Crane elbowed himself to the edge of the long bronze table and whispered to himself.

If you think about it, this place has been occupied by the Kingdom of Rune for more than 300 years, and if there was any danger, it would have been an accident here a long time ago, and it would not have become an important transit point to the Rorsted Islands. What's more, this place has also been cleaned up by the Night Church and the Storm Church, and even if there was anything 'unclean' before, it has already been cleaned up now.

But......

Klein's eyes were deep, and he suddenly remembered another problem that he had overlooked-

The underground ruins, and the evil spirits within!

Half a month ago, he had discussed with Miss Sharon, and he had asked Ember to explore the underground ruins. Because neither he nor Miss Sharon had enough strength to explore the underground ruins completely, and that evil spirit alone was enough to completely block their way to explore the underground ruins.

In this case, asking someone else for help is the wisest option, although it is a last resort.

After all, instead of waiting for others to discover and explore the ruins, or to free the evil spirits of the underground ruins, it is better to find someone who is strong enough and trustworthy to explore the underground ruins, so that they at least don't go home empty-handed.

At the Tarot meeting, Klein once used the mouth of the 'world' to inform Ember of this information.

But at that time, Ember was busy dealing with the affairs of the Black Emperor, so the underground ruins were temporarily put on hold, and they were supposed to wait until after the New Year to explore.

But Klein hasn't passed the specific information to Ember until now!

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he forgot!

If it weren't for Daniz's sudden mention of 'Bincy' that brought back Klein's memories, he wouldn't have remembered the fact that there were underground ruins!

If it's an ordinary person, it's normal to forget one or two less important things once in a while. But Klein is an extraordinary person in Sequence 6, even if he is not an extraordinary person in the path of a generalist, but his memory is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

Even if a series of things accumulated after the New Year, Klein was a little untidy. But how could he easily forget such an important matter?

"I'm affected!"

Klein's face sank, and it was an easy conclusion to draw.

Someone was deliberately trying to make himself forget about the ruin, but this ability certainly didn't directly act on his own hypnosis or sleeping, otherwise he would have noticed the abnormality on his body the moment he entered the gray mist.

And this ability, this sense of déjà vu that makes Klein extremely familiar, is the ability of '0-08'!

That seal can move the 'plot' forward through a series of 'coincidences' and make things go in the direction that the other party wants. But if it's just a simple 'coincidence', Klein will also perceive-

Having already suffered two losses, he is particularly sensitive to 'coincidence'.

If I had to describe it, Ince Zangwill, who had influenced him before, was a crappy third-rate writer, so he had to use a lot of abrupt 'coincidences' to get things going his way.

And now it is a real writer who influences Klein!

"Whew!"

Crane took a deep breath, and the feeling that he was in an impenetrable cobweb from which he struggled made him creep.

But Klein is also clearly aware that the target of this net is not him, and even he is a part of this net.

Klein didn't know who was planning all of this, or what the purpose was, but he knew how to make a hole in this impenetrable net—

Since the other party wants him to forget about the underground ruins, then he prefers to spread the word, especially to Embers!

The graves are all pouted, see what else you have to calculate!
