Chapter 109: The Purple Rose
At half past four in the afternoon, Louise arrived at the port only half an hour early.
The three Extraordinary Ones who had defected from the "Rose School" followed behind, disguised as servants, with their heads bowed the whole time.
The strongest of the three,, that is, the "resentful spirit" of Sequence Five, has been carrying a dark box in his hand, which looks like a special material, and never pretends to others, and attaches great importance to it.
Louise guessed that it might contain a magical item of considerable height, presumably to help them gain confidence in the face of demigods...... She had tried to investigate, but was politely rejected by the other party, even if the identity of the god was not compatible.
The more mysterious it is, the more it arouses curiosity...... Unfortunately, this is a world where curiosity leads to death, and Louise naturally knows how to prioritize.
…………
The Purple Rose is the newest sailing yacht with two powertrains, with chimneys and sails side by side...... It's a bit of a medieval steampunk feel!
Although the Kingdom of Rune has overcome the technical difficulties of ironclad ships, the military fleet has not yet formed a scale, and it will obviously take a long time for it to be popularized into merchant ships.
However, even if it is only a merchant ship, the side of the "Purple Rose" has more than a dozen brand-new, amazing-looking guns, and on the deck stands a row of sturdy sailors, deliberately exposing their swords and guns at their waists, in order to show force and prove that the passenger ship has the ability to protect the property and lives of its passengers.
This is also forced by the endless stream of pirates, and of course, there are also peers...... Some merchant ships may turn into pirates and become unguardable.
The port is well equipped, but apparently it was not originally built with such a large number of passengers, and the area is smaller, and it is said that the colonial government is considering rebuilding it......
The passengers who sailed out, relatives and friends who came to see them off, and it happened that a passenger ship had just docked, so the crowd was quite crowded, but it was quite orderly.
It's just that this fragile order was quickly destroyed by a woman.
"I'm sorry, let me go!"
"I'm sorry, let me go!"
Like a live loach thrown into a box of canned sardines, the crowd suddenly became a mess, like a pot of boiling water that exploded the splash.
"Oops, who stepped on my foot!"
"What a squeeze, who is so unqualified!"
"There's a thief, catch the thief!"
…………
As the confusion spreads, Louise secretly heightens her vigilance as she realizes that the woman seems to be heading in her own direction......
But soon, she changed her mind.
The woman, covered with a pale yellow scarf and only one pair of eyes, rushed to the left and right, like a nimble rabbit, constantly squeezing through the crowd around her, and through the gap that Louise had deliberately opened sideways, with the ultimate goal of boarding a passenger ship not far away, and the name of that ship was "Purple Rose".
Louise's eyes revealed confusion and surprise, not because they were on the same flight, but because she recognized the woman who had been on a rampage......
Although it was only a glimpse, after being promoted to "witch", Louise, who has the ability to divination, can easily recall the owner of those eyes...... Katrin, the "soothsayer" lady she met at an extraordinary party, exchanged her "clown" potion with herself.
I didn't expect to meet again, it's really fate...... But she seemed flustered, Louise thought, turning her head to look at Geral, who shook her head slightly.
This suggests that there is no danger, at least the "Silent Disciple" of Sequence 3 does not appear.
…………
A farce ended, and the crowd began to decrease sharply, and those who got on the boat got on the boat, and turned to leave.
After showing the ticket, Louise and the others boarded the ship smoothly, and there were no accidents during the process, after all, it was too normal for a first-class passenger to carry a few domestic servants, but no one would pay attention to such details.
The configuration of the first class is quite luxurious, with a living room of nearly 30 square meters, a master bedroom, two side bedrooms, which is also a servant's room, and a separate bathroom...... Sure enough, there is only one disadvantage to expensive things, and that is expensive.
"Did you find anything out of the ordinary?" Louise asked.
Gerali looked up, revealing a face that had changed a lot from before, and as a "Potions Professor", she could make potions that could easily adjust her appearance.
"No, miss, everything is fine."
That's good, Louise put her mind at ease for a while, but after the uneventful boarding of the ship just now, she felt more and more that the three of them could easily leave Byam with or without themselves......
"Okay." She nodded and said, "You guys pick a room, try not to go out, to avoid accidents." ”
Gerari behaved as good as a stream, and chose a servant's room with interest, and the three of them ...... together
Because the three of them can't be separated too far, it should be the negative effect of the magical items in the box, and there is no other performance, so it stands to reason that magical items that can match the demigods shouldn't be like this...... Louise had another question in her mind, and she turned to Sophia and said:
"You can go and rest too, I want to be alone."
Sitting at the delicate little desk, looking out at the sea and sky through the window, Louise slowly calmed down.
Since he couldn't resist, he simply chose to accept it...... That's where she's now.
She originally wanted to use the three people of the "Rose School" to find some clues to her own crossing, but now she is trapped......
Inexplicably became a god's dependent, and what is even more terrifying is that she doesn't know whose family she is?
Judging by Gerrary's description, it seems that the "bound gods" are guiding them...... But Louise is so well aware of the state of the "bound god" that there has always been a speculation in her heart that behind the scenes of the so-called oracles, the "Mother Tree of Desire" is in control......
There must be a big secret hidden in your own crossing...... This is what Louise believes, which is why she tries to find out why, and so far, she has been connected by the "Rose School" and the "Life School".
The "Bound God" is a different path, and the "Serpent of Destiny" is a path of fate, and the authority of the two is not compatible with crossing...... Louise didn't think they were behind her crossing, but at least, they might have known, otherwise they wouldn't have sent someone to find herself, who only had Sequence Seven.
Thinking about it this way, why haven't other secret organizations come to the door, let alone the Orthodox God Church, haven't other gods found themselves special? Or observe......
Destiny......
Louise has always thought that what she does is not like a time-traveler, but more like an anonymous person in the original book, but is consciously or unconsciously correcting her fate.
In this regard, she has a hunch that this doubt will only be lifted after meeting Will Unsetin, the "Serpent of Destiny".
