The Last Missionary, among the many cultists Duncan has come into contact with so far, these guys with the name of "Preacher" are the most mysterious and weird group of them all-

They are far fewer in number than the Sunfollowers and the Cultists of Annihilation, but their ability to do things is unmatched, and their treacherous motives are mysterious, and no one knows exactly what kind of "organization" they have, nor is it clear how they are numbered or hidden.

And their own "characteristics" are more of a concern to Duncan than their weird and evil styles---- and they are suspected of being non-linear in the timeline, and they are all the same.

The Church of the Four Gods and the city-states authorities in this world refer to the Ultimate Missionary, the Sun Sect, and the Annihilation Sect as the Great Cult, but in Duncan's opinion, the degree of evil and painting style of those "Missionaries" are so strange that they should be singled out separately.

Judging from the information currently available, the Final Missionary Soil should be divided into two categories, one is the outright mad extreme cultists, and the other is the sane and polite-looking 'sane scholars' on the side of the table, Morris slowly cleared his pipe, and said in thought, the latter will take the initiative to contact people and try to ...... them Guidance, and judging by the frequency of appearance, the number of these intellectuals seems to be far less than that of the insane.

Of all known reports of heretical contact, all of the documented Last-Word Preachers are insane, Vana nodded.

"This shows that those crazy people make up the vast majority of 'these preachers', and the sane are just characteristics, after all, they are a group of people who are entangled with subspace all day long - mental abnormality is normal," Ah Dog said casually, and then quickly looked up at Duncan, "Ah, Captain."

I didn't say anything about you·····"

Duncan ignored the dog's words, he just thought quietly, and after a moment suddenly said: "Whether they are crazy or sensible, these two kinds of ultimate preachers actually have one thing in common—they are both trying to do something about history. ”

On both sides of the table, everyone fell into a short thought, and Agatha, who had never spoken much, raised her head: "You are...... It is said that the last preacher who took the initiative to contact the Queen of Frost was also for a certain future. ”

"Perhaps we should try to look at history through the eyes of the last preacher."

Duncan said unhurriedly, "Let's assume that they are really a group of non-linear "time stowaways", so what does history look like to them in their eyes? ”

There was silence in the dining room, and after a moment of silence, Morris's voice suddenly sounded: "Everything has happened, but everything can not happen, the direction of the world can be customized, just find the right correction." ”

"That's right, the actions of the three preachers who came to the Lost Land a hundred years ago, and the occult scholar who came into contact with the Queen of Frost more than fifty years ago, have greatly influenced the subsequent course of history to a certain extent.

Duncan nodded, "The difference between them is that the crazy preachers seem to want to destroy history completely, and the sane ones seem to want to 'fix' history in some direction they want..."

Correcting history, Vanna frowned, this is a dangerous word, the flame-bearers want to protect our history from external forces, they are the orthodox church that deals with the last preachers the most, and according to the teachings of Burning Flame Taregin, history has its own rigor and purity, it cannot be touched, it cannot be reshaped, and for history, revision is also a kind of destruction.

"What if the history that has already been destroyed is 'restored'?" Duncan asked, then added, "Of course, I don't mean the actions of the Last Missionary, I'm just curious about the subject. ”

"I'm sorry, but this involves the deeper, more complex doctrine of the Church of the Flamebearers," Vanna thought for a moment and bowed her head with a hint of apology, "They are the most mysterious and difficult to understand the teachings of the Church of the Four, and my knowledge of them is limited. ”

"Is that so······" Duncan nodded thoughtfully as his gaze slowly swept over the edge of the table--- where the figures of Agatha, Vanna, and Morris came into view.

"There's still one less expert in the firebearer," he couldn't help but sigh softly.

The expressions on Vana and Morris's faces instantly became subtle, but Agatha didn't change much—because she had just arrived, and she didn't react for a while.

Duncan himself didn't realize what was strange about his words - he just thought about it and casually sighed, and the next second changed the subject: "Vanna, do you think the fire bearers know about the existence of the sane final preacher?" ”

Vanna quickly threw aside the slightly disrespectful thoughts in her mind, and after thinking about it, Lu replied frankly, "Not sure, but logically, they should at least be aware of it." ”

The followers of 'Tarijin' have been dealing with heretics who have tried to destroy history for thousands of years, and Morris also nodded, "The Fire Bearers are professional and keen in this regard, and from the available information, those sane Ultimate Preachers have been active at least a hundred years ago, unless they really only appeared twice in such a long time, and happened to completely avoid the eyes of the Fire Bearers each time, otherwise the Fire Bearer Church must have noticed them, but I don't know why...... The flamemakers don't seem to have done much. ”

"I'll try to get in touch with the Cathedral of the Storm and see if His Holiness can hear anything from the Flamebearer."

Vanna immediately said, "Regardless, sane cultists are more destructive than mere madmen in many cases, and although they seem to be friendly and even have good intentions at the moment, I can't believe it

A bunch of guys who deal with subspace all day long will have real sanity and kindness..."

After Vanna finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after being stunned for a moment, she quickly turned her head to look at Duncan and added: "Heh, I didn't say anything about you." ”

Duncan's face was expressionless.

He always felt as if he had heard this sentence just now, and he waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then he thought for a moment, and finally slowly spoke, we need to contact not only the Cathedral of Storm, but also the news we want to convey is not just the matter of the last preacher.

Everyone at the scene immediately looked at each other, and Fanna was the first to react: "You want to warn the outside - just like before?"

Duncan nodded with a serious expression, perhaps, the situation before this is more dangerous, it is possible that the awakening event of the ancient gods that occurred in the frost will be repeated in a short period of time, and even at this moment, just below a certain city-state, there may have been an awakened ancient god error clone - there is only one frost queen, but there are many city-states on the boundless sea, in order to avoid being caught off guard at that time, at least let the various churches and the high-level of the city-state know about the existence of this crisis

As he spoke, he looked up at several figures on either side of the table.

"Vanna, you go and contact the Storm Cathedral, Maurice, you can find a way to contact the Truth Academy, Agatha, you should also have a direct channel of dialogue with the Church of the Dead, the top level---- you can communicate everything we have discussed here here today to your church as completely as possible, including the true structure of the city-state, the situation related to the Nether Lord, and the information of the Last Missionary."

"In addition, there are the Explorers' Guild, Lawrence, and Lucy, think of a safer way to warn the Explorers Guild without causing panic--- warning about the awakening of the Old Gods."

"The ships of the Infinite Seas are a keen, experienced and well-informed people, and they are the best at spotting any strange signs in the world."

"Tirion, you sort things out as soon as you can, and then find a way to contact the other city-states as archons...... On the premise of not causing panic, try to get other cities to establish an early warning of the phenomenon of the awakening of the ancient gods. ”

He said this in one breath, and then sorted out his thoughts, and further explained and emphasized: "Remember, give the Church as complete information as possible, after all, in the transcendent realm, they are more or less professional, and they have a lot of people. ”

"As for the city-states and explorers' associations, you must be cautious, because there are too many ordinary people involved, you go back and think carefully about how to convey this warning without revealing too much secret knowledge, remember that the goal is not to let them uncover the secrets of the deep sea, but to make them cautious about the strange signs that may appear on the city-states and routes, and what else do you want to add?"

Duncan raised his eyes and looked quietly at either side of the table.

And at this moment, everyone in the cabin - even Shirley and Alice - suddenly felt an atmosphere of a great wave brewing, enough to impact the whole world, accompanied by a series of decisions and arrangements of the ship, in this gloomy cabin illuminated by the dark green fire, in this secret gathering of only a few participants, as if the direction of the world had been faintly doomed, a feeling that he was participating in history, and even shaping history, gradually surged up from Lawrence's heart. He subconsciously felt his breathing a little short, and his heart was pounding.

"It's really going to make a storm..."

The old ship, who had just become a member of the Lost Fleet, couldn't help but murmur to himself: "It's not that the wind and waves are coming, but the wind and waves are already approaching." ”

Agatha, who was sitting next to him, shook her head and whispered, "It's just that no one noticed it all this - and now, we're going to open the window." ”
