Chapter 9: The Wheels of Kamui
The huge galleons sailed in the night, and there were no lights on board, because the destination was the enemy territory, the port of Moroch.
Inside the ship was a huge bathroom with steam, and the fresh water that could make any old sailor smash his jaw off was now used only for a maiden's bath.
Maribel rolled over comfortably and slouched on the edge of the bath.
The fiery red hair fluttered on the water, and Yin Hong was like blood, as if to show her current mood.
[Although it is good not to have to copy the holy scriptures, the work of replacing them is really not laughable.] 】
She reached out and took the warm water and poured it gently on her head, as if to sober herself up.
[What do they want to cover up with the word 'holy'...... It's just that I'm a pirate, and I don't have the right to say anything. 】
That's right, the Holy Maiden of Salman, the Crimson Arbiter, the leader of the Grey Rabbits, the Wonder Daughter who resurrected the Divine Technique of Punishment. No matter how many names there are, no matter how loud the names are. The unruly and meat-loving rum-drinking Maribel was nothing more than a pirate, at least until she came to the Holy Church.
Growing up drinking milk mixed with rum, she has been killing people with machetes and muskets since she was sensible, and after witnessing her father die at sea, she took over the pirate ship and naturally entered the final end - she was captured by the Holy Church and quietly waited for the gallows or burning at the stake.
But fate always likes to play tricks on people, just when she is ready to come to her senses, but she somehow became a saint of the Holy See.
Maribel stood up. Leaving the steaming bath, she walked naked to a floor-to-ceiling mirror in the bathroom. Holding out her hand to wipe the moisture from the mirror, Maribel turned. Lifted up her long crimson hair.
The mirror reflected the girl's smooth back, where there was a crimson birthmark—a circle, and a cross that extended from the center of the circle in four directions: up, down, left, and right.
Like the blood-red sun, it was the mark of the Cross of Light.
This is an innate mark, and it is the only reason why a maiden became a saint. According to the records of the Holy See, those who bear this mark hold important secrets about the goddess of light.
Maribel scoffed at this, she was never religious and would not pray before killing. However, there is nothing wrong with surviving. What's more, the life of the saint is dozens of times better than that of a pirate. In the end, even if she wanted to, she had to admit that she had an innate talent for divine arts, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to reproduce the long-lost punishment divine arts in just a few years.
Thanks to this, her status has also risen all the way, from a saint with no real power to an arbiter today.
"Hoo ......"
Drying the water droplets from her body with a bath towel, Maribel let out a long breath and changed into a white priest's uniform. Strap on your hat and walk out of the bathroom.
Taking the scepter and the canon handed over by the nun who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, she nodded, and there was no trace of a pirate in her stern and elegant demeanor. It's like a saint born with her......
Passing through the long walkway, Maribel came to the deck, where she ......
"Marybell. It's so slow!"
What catches my eye is a short rabbit Lori, who is sitting on a large wooden barrel. With his hands on his cheeks, his little feet in boots kept kicking in the air because of loneliness.
"There's a lot to prepare for the ceremony...... Don't complain. Jena. ”
Stretching out his hand and touching the other party's little head, Maribel said helplessly: "Okay, don't lose your temper." ”
"No, the rabbit will die of loneliness, and the sea breeze will blow Mr. Bond's hair! As punishment for waiting so long, the whitewashed Maribel should be punished for not eating meat...... Belch...... I'm kidding......"
The messy Ji Na saw the other party holding up the holy book wrapped in a silver shell, and decisively closed her mouth.
“......”
On the other side, contrary to the active Jena, Corrie was like a solid ice that had not changed for thousands of years, just quietly staring at the saintess, and only nodded silently when she felt Maribel's gaze.
The Maiden walked slowly, the gray rabbit to her left and right, and in front of them, at the very front of the deck stood a large round object, the First Holy Text: Kamui's Wheel.
The term canon, usually refers to books that contain dogmas and ancient myths, and is also Maribel's exclusive "throwing weapon".
The huge ring in front of me was obviously not a book in the ordinary sense, it was said that it was the first cross of light drawn by Anices, the goddess of light, on the continent of Ivete!
A giant wheel made of holy silver has a red orb floating in its center, which is the form of the first sacred text, the Kamui Wheel.
Just as Randall had an artifact like the Dawning Blade, the Salman Holy Cult also holds a similar "holy text", which is the remnant of the goddess Anice, evidence that the god once existed in the world.
However, just like the kingdom of Randall, the Holy Cult has long since lost the use of holy scriptures. It's even worse - the sword loses its divine power and is still a sword, and the wheel loses its divine power and can only be used as an ornament.
But at the moment, if Randall, who knows about this holy text, is present, there must be a siren in his heart. Because-if it weren't for the correct way to use it, the other party wouldn't have taken out this kind of big killing weapon, wouldn't they?
Maribel strode forward, and in her left hand, the silver papal books flipped page after page in the night breeze, and in her right hand she held aloft the scepter, a symbol of the majesty of the goddess.
"Light, ......"
Marybell spoke softly, spoke the words of prayer, and then the words turned into power, the power of miracles, the ancient and pure light, the light of judgment and punishment.
The light condensed on the tip of the scepter, illuminating the dark seas.
"Holy Maiden, there is Moloch Harbor ahead!"
A man dressed as a priest stepped forward, his face a little uneasy.
Although the ceremony looks gorgeous, there is an enemy position not far away, and such an act is simply lighting fireworks to inform the other party!
Click!
However, before he could say anything more, a musket was held against his head.
"The saint is the spokesperson of the goddess, her will is the will of the goddess, her words and deeds are the words and deeds of the goddess, she is the light that leads us, and any doubt and resistance is disrespectful to God. ”
Ke Li said in a cold and emotionless tone: "Declare - death sentence." ”
——!!!
The gunshots rang out, and the priest didn't even have a chance to appeal, so he was executed cleanly.
No one sympathized with such a scene, and all that stood on the deck was a black robe, a black hood, and a face hidden in the shadows, except for the priest dressed in white, who was the strongest army under Maribel's command, the Grey Rabbits of the Templars, the Inquisitors of the Holy Church of Salman!
"I am the spokesperson of the Goddess, and whoever turns his back on the Goddess will be punished, and now—the time of judgment has come——!!!"
Maribel ignored the episode from beginning to end, she just prayed, then gripped her scepter and slammed the divine power against the crimson orb in the center of the canon.
In an instant, the orb emitted a dazzling light, and the light was divided into four strands from the center, which erupted from the top, bottom, left and right, and with the huge ring made of holy silver, it turned into a sacred cross, illuminating the entire Moroch Harbor! (To be continued......
