Bang dang!

The two silver knights rushed into the bloody gate with their shields raised, but this time there was no longer a black knight hiding in the doorway to attack suddenly.

Except for the bloody door that makes people panic and reveals a strange atmosphere. Everything was as usual in the room, there was no danger.

The glow of the sun worm illuminates the room, bringing everything inside into the embers' sight.

There are three chairs in the room, three high-backed chairs in three different directions and different colors.

One of them is a deep black color, the other has a dark red color, as if iron and blood are intertwined, and the last high-backed chair is mainly dark red, with pure black lines.

They are very similar in style, but they are very different in color and present certain angles and distances.

Obviously, they were deliberately placed here.

It's similar to the quaternary aesthetic of the amalgamism, but Ember feels that it may have a deeper meaning.

For example, for a particular ritual.

"Rite of Godhood?"

Ember murmured, the conjecture in his mind becoming apparent.

Three chairs, three people, and the extraordinary characteristics of three copies of Sequence 1 are perfectly aligned.

The only question is, who are the people sitting in these three chairs?

According to the evil spirits, breaking the seal requires finding the direct descendants of the families of Sauron, Einhorn, and Medich, taking 10 milliliters of blood each, mixing them with holy water, and spilling them into the room.

Ember glanced to the ground and saw a pool of dried dark red stains not far away.

The area covered by the stain is not large, and although it has dried up, it has a noticeable dark redness, which is a clot of blood.

The stain marks are fresh, and it should be a matter of the past few days.

Ember glanced around, and had a relatively clear understanding in his mind:

"The blood was brought by the Black Knight, and it was he who helped the 'evil spirit' break the seal. But the evil spirit left here, and the Black Knight chose to stay. ”

There was no sign of a battle on the scene, which showed that their process was quite harmonious, and the two sides should know each other, or that the evil spirit and the person who instructed the Black Knight to break the seal knew each other. The Black Knight let the evil spirit go, and perhaps had a friendly exchange with each other......"

"The three chairs, the people on them should belong to the ancestors of the Sauron, Einhorn, and Medici families, or even the sequence 1 of these three families. Otherwise, there is no need to specify the blood of these three families, and it is not a rare case to use the blood of descendants to break the seal. ”

"The house of Abraham, for example, was cursed because of its own bloodline, and the truth of this curse came from the madness of their ancestors."

"But why does one evil spirit have the blood of three families? Is there more than one evil spirit? ”

"Why did the Black Knight stay here? What is he waiting for? ”

"The blasphemy card dropped by the Black Knight was originally in the hands of the evil spirit, but now it appears on the black knight, which is undoubtedly left to him by the evil spirit. The corpses in the room were left behind by the extraordinary, and they all had extraordinary properties after death. But now that these extraordinary traits have been taken away, only the most valuable blasphemy card has been left, which is clearly intentional. ”

"Only those who have the strength to kill the Black Knight are eligible to get that blasphemy card. Otherwise, the Black Knight will stay here in place of the evil spirits and kill all explorers who enter the ruins......"

His thoughts drifted away, but Ember hadn't been able to find anything more valuable here after all, and a few evil spirits didn't mean anything to Ember, he didn't care. But the appearance of the black knight made Ember faintly grasp the context of the matter-

The Black Knight stayed here to wait for him, and that's a signal!

After a long time, Ember slowly retracted his thoughts, and the ring in his hand bloomed with a light blue and illusory light.

The next moment, in the package of light, his figure quietly disappeared.

And this ancient ruin, which has been located underground for thousands of years, has once again fallen silent.

——

At 7:15 a.m., Klein and Daniz, who came out of the first-class cafeteria, found that the wind that had just caused the ship to sway had calmed down considerably.

After thinking for two seconds, Crane walked all the way to the entrance of the cabin and asked the crew guarding there:

"Who hasn't come back?"

The crew member, who had seen the passenger enjoying the delicious fish-man meat with the captain, did not hide it:

"Except for the Blanche family and Dimurdo family who went to the Lime Restaurant, the other passengers all came back before the wind rose, hehe, it was farther away and the meal time was longer.

"Ah yes, the captain and the first mate went to the telegraph office and haven't come back yet."

The Lime Restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants on Bansey Island, and the lard is especially delicious.

Captain Ellan was going to the telegraph office to take a telegram about the pirates they had encountered on their way.

There are some things on the way that are delayed, so I haven't come back until now, which is actually a very normal thing.

Crane bowed his head slightly, and returned to room 312 in silence, back to the bathroom.

He skillfully closed the door, drew paper figures, disguised himself, and came to the gray mist, ready to do another divination.

"Bansey Harbor is in danger."

Crane held the pendulum and whispered.

After repeating it over and over again, he opened his eyes, and the citrine pendant was turning clockwise, not much, not fast.

Dangerous, but not ...... As with the previous revelation, Crane rested his elbows on the edge of the long bronze table, lost in thought.

The results of the divination told him that it was not dangerous, but his instincts told him that the island was dangerous.

Klein didn't know why he had such contradictory instincts, something that had never happened before-

Divination in reality may be disturbed, but the divination above the gray fog has never gone wrong, and Crane has never doubted the results of his divination.

Crane was silent for a long time, he wanted to wait for Ember to finish exploring the underground ruins and see what was going on. As for Bansi Port, this is a transit station, you can go there or not, his original intention is not to board, try to avoid trouble.

But now......

Crane took a deep breath and returned to the real world, leaving the bathroom and finding a chair to sit in the living room, much to Daniz's inexplicable unease.

There really isn't any danger in Bansey Island, right?

Although the legend was told to Klein by him, even he himself doubted the authenticity of the legend.

After all, legends are just legends, and their captain himself has explored them, and he has not found anything unusual on the island. Otherwise, Daniz wouldn't have taken that legend so lightly, he just used it as some kind of bragging rights.

But Gelman Sparrow's attitude made him beat the drum inside.

Because the other party left only one influence on him, and that was 'madness'.

But now the mad adventurer is starting to think that it means that there is probably a hidden danger on the island!

It was because of this uneasiness that Daniz gave up the idea of going to the lime restaurant for dinner and stayed on the ship honestly.

"You stay on board."

"Huh?" Daniz only felt that this was not true at all.

He suddenly understood what the other party wanted to do, and blurted out in amazement:

"You're going to save the captain, and the ordinary people?

"You, you said it was dangerous outside?"

Crane put on a half-height silk top hat, picked up a black hardwood cane, and replied calmly as he twisted the doorknob:

"There is danger, but not much. And

"They've worked with me.

"They kept it a secret for me.

"He invited me to eat fish-human flesh.

"He helped me compensate for the loss of the white shark."

Daniz didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously asked:

"How much was paid?"

"A few souls." Crane opened the door and walked out.

——

In a hidden church filled with light, there are rows of black seats with backrests.

The only prayer in the church sat in the center of the first row of seats, wearing a white simple robe and a pale gold beard that covered the lower half of his face.

The only prayer in the church, in a hidden church full of light, a cross hundreds of meters high was erected in front of it. In front of the cross, a huge vague figure stood, carrying everything on its back, looking at the spirits with pity.

Inside, there are rows of black backrested chairs, but there is only one person who prays.

He sat in the center of the first row, dressed in a rather modest white robe, with a pale gold beard that obscured the lower half of his face, and his hands clasped in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest, with a warm and calm expression.

Trample! Trample!

A tall figure with sparks burning all over his body appeared at the door of the church, and he stepped into it step by step to the praying person.

He said coldly:

"My ashes have lost contact."

The prator did not look up, but said softly:

"I gave it to Medici, who needed a body to move."

He was speechless, but silently turned away, accepting the words of the praying.

In this world, most of the evil spirits are the products of the death of high-ranking powerhouses.

Because when the high-level powerhouses took potions to obtain divinity, the spirit body had actually undergone a fundamental mutation, which caused even if they died, the power dissipated, and the spirit body would have some remnants.

And there are a small number of evil spirits who are resentful spirits who use various opportunities to break through their own limitations, but there is actually no essential difference between the two sides.

Normally, evil spirits weaken little by little over time until they disappear completely, but they can assimilate the area where they were born, allowing the spirit world and even the underworld to merge with it, drawing strength from it to maintain its existence.

Therefore, many evil spirits have their own territory and range of activities, not because they do not want to leave, but because they cannot, unless they accumulate enough power to change the essence of their existence.

Of course, evil spirits can also leave this territory by possessing a person.

However, ordinary people and most extraordinary beings cannot withstand the exploitation of evil spirits, especially the evil spirits with angelic personality formed by the fusion of the remnant souls of three Sequence 1 after death. Anyone who is possessed will quickly lose their spirituality and body temperature, and will not be able to sustain themselves for long.

The Black Knight, on the other hand, is just a mass of ashes, and most of the time it can be seen as an empty shell that can move. And such an empty shell is undoubtedly the most suitable target for being possessed by evil spirits, there is no one!

In particular, the Black Knight himself is equivalent to a demigod, and can fully withstand the parasitism and exploitation of an evil spirit-

Of course, this is simply referring to the Black Knight's 'body', his soul cannot withstand this kind of exploitation, and will be devoured by evil spirits.

This is also the reason why he lost contact with the Black Knight, so he came to the other party to ask for an explanation. After all, a black knight was nothing to him, and the power he could wield was far more than a black knight.

Trading a squeezed shell for a powerful boost to get the plan going smoothly wasn't a loss for him.

Crunch!

Syllable!

As the tall figure left, the doors of the church slowly closed.

The praying remained quietly in the center of the first row of benches, not moving too much, nor looking at the departing figures.

Suddenly He whispered:

"Didn't you notice?"

The Black Knight was killed, but He didn't know it.

I only thought that it was really occupied by an 'evil spirit', causing this empty shell to lose contact with Him.

In other words, he didn't know who killed the Black Knight or what he did.

In other words, the connection between him and Ember is nowhere near as strong as he thinks - Ember is unaware of his existence, but he is also unable to perceive Ember's state. They are fighting for the ownership of the fire, and they must isolate the influence of the absolute party on themselves.

That's why He was so desperate for the embers to spread the fire, so that He could reconnect with the Body.

They are in a similar state to themselves, but more distant than themselves.

The prayer slowly raised his head and looked at the huge glorious cross standing in front of him, which was hundreds of meters high. In front of the cross, a huge vague figure stood, carrying everything on its back, looking at the spirits with pity.

That's him, and that's Him.

But in any case, they are the same person after all.

The differences between them are only the struggle between divinity and humanity for dominance.

No matter how things turn out, this struggle is only between the two of them, and outsiders will not be allowed to interfere.

But Ember's relationship with Him is more like a mortal enemy.

He knew everything about the embers, but he also severed all ties with them, and that was perhaps the price he paid to get out.

Ember is unaware of his existence, but he has the absolute initiative in the matter of 'spreading fire', which is also Ember's advantage.

As a result, the two sides were able to maintain a fragile balance for a long time.

"So, what is He?"

The prayer whispers, but no one gives Him an answer.

Because He was always alone in this glorious church.

Of course, he had time to figure it all out, not in a hurry.

It doesn't matter who the other person is, and neither does their cooperation.

The important thing is that everything is going according to plan, and with the Black Knight's obstruction, I believe Ember should be able to realize something-

The one-sided advantage is not what He expects, and He needs to maintain a certain balance between the two sides, but he also needs to break that balance.

Only then will there be room for Him to intervene.
