Hearing Red's question, Drake's expression was obviously a little more gloomy and melancholy.

"They're all familiar names—but alas, I'm the only one here, a tavern lady who can't help much."

Red's pupils shrank, and it appeared that the anomaly of the Persona Belt had changed not when he entered from Chaldea, but much earlier.

According to the original plot, the few servants whose names Red just mentioned should have met the Chaldeans here, and then adventured together in this Persona Belt to open up the way to break through this peerless sea.

"Although we have lost contact with the Lord now, I believe that the senior must still be fighting somewhere. Can you help us find her, Miss Drake, if the reliable captain can help us......"

Matthew looked expectantly at Drake, who raised his glass and took a long sip of ale, his voice hearty.

"Yes, I'll be happy to help—"

Hearing Drake's words, Matthew's clear eyes lit up with hope.

"But as I said, I can't help much...... I'm sorry, but my body (Lingji) is broken. ”

Like a big sister, Drake gently stroked Matthew's hair, while little Da Vinci pushed his glasses and looked at Drake with a very solemn gaze.

"Indeed...... Lingji has been severely damaged irreversibly and must be treated as soon as possible - no, there is something else, even if it is treated, it ......"

"That's the curse of Poseidon, the god of the sea, who will die as long as he goes out to sea...... Hey, that little brother over there, why are you so happy when you hear that I'm cursed, could it be that I have offended some enemy before? ”

I have to say that even though the interior of the spirit base is already in a state of fragmentation, Drake's senses are still very keen, and he can even catch Red's subconscious small movements.

But she was right, and he was visibly relieved to learn that Drake was still cursed by Poseidon, the god of the sea, just like in the original story.

This is certainly not because he has any opinion about Drake, but since Drake will be cursed by Poseidon, the god of the sea, then it is ......

"I was just thinking that Captain Drake must have dealt Poseidon a heavy blow, or made him hate you to the core—I don't think a god would casually use such a vicious curse on someone else."

Drake smiled at the corners of his mouth and looked at Red with an emerald one-eyed interest.

"Sort of, when I was crossing the sea, I happened to run into a super large thing, so I ...... on a whim It's a bit of a long story, are you in a hurry? ”

"Then let's rest here tonight, and by the way, listen to the adventure story of Captain Drake - Matthew, when he crossed the Odor Belt barrier before, Ling's Ortenus armor was also seriously damaged, even for the sake of possible situations later, it is necessary to repair it here."

Red preemptively said without a beak, and at the same time looked at Matthew, who was about to speak.

He could tell that the mimic slave girl had already taken a heavy burden on her body, but she pretended to be okay because she was worried about the safety of the Chaldean lord Fujimaru Rika.

"Sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters, and proper rest is also a must. Captain Drake...... No, hostess, I think there should be a room available in the tavern. ”

Hearing Red's words, Drake smiled and poured him a glass of stout.

"There are a lot of guest rooms, but it's better not to take credit for a small business."

"Don't worry, Miss Drake...... I didn't bring any money, but I promise I'll pay you accordingly. ”

——

Late at night, the top balcony of the Golden Deer Tavern.

Red sipped his beer alone, staring thoughtfully at the sky.

There seemed to be flickering lights in low Earth orbit, and Red knew that this was the wreckage of Artemis after he had destroyed it.

Although when he first came to this Persona Zone, he had already defeated the most dangerous orbital space-based sniper in the first battle, but the subsequent development made the mystery more and more mysterious.

First of all, the Paradise Island of Shemisgera is still missing, if they can't even sense their location here, then it is very likely that the place where Paradise Island was pulled to is deeper in this Persona Zone, the Interstellar Urban Mountain Range Olympus.

Secondly, it stands to reason that on the road to Olympus, there will be three obstacles, the Olympian army led by Odysseus; Artemis' orbital sniping; And Poseidon's final line of defense - not to mention Artemis and Poseidon, the two mechists, Red originally thought that these outsiders would be chased and beaten by Odysseus.

However, as far as the results are concerned, whether it is Odysseus or Charon, these enemies who were originally in this Hearsay Zone are now unable to see even a shadow.

You must know that Red's destruction of Artemis can be shocked by the entire Atlantic Persona Belt, but even so, no hostile forces have been seen coming to the door until now.

The third is Atlantis - the Atlantis of the DC universe, that is, the problem of Mera after the sea.

As a native of the DC Universe, Mera is supposed to be an outsider in this Persona Zone, but it seems that she has far more information than she does.

Not only was the Chaldean lord taken captive by her, but according to Francis Drake, the disappearance of the pan-human historians was also related to Mera.

Due to the high degree of completion of the Atlantic Persona Belt, Pan-Human History will automatically summon servants to help in advance before the arrival of the Chaldean Master, and Francis Drake is also one of them.

More than twenty servants have been summoned, including the legendary Greek hero ship Argo.

It is a famous ship in Greek mythology, it is said to have been built under the guidance of Athena, and the crew are famous heroes such as Hercules and Atalanta, and there is no doubt that it has a high degree of adaptability in this Persona zone ruled by Greek gods.

However, they still failed.

According to what Drake had just told the people in the tavern, they wanted to cross the Cavern of the Void in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean and break through to the seat of the gods of Olympus.

At this time, they encountered the obstruction of the sea god Poseidon, as well as the sniping from Artemis in the sky, so these pan-human history followers decided to divide their forces into two ways, while attracting the attention of Poseidon and Artemis, so as to create an opportunity for the remaining servants to enter Olympus.

So far, it has been according to the plot development that Red knows.

But then something changed.

When Drake risked his life to snatch the core from Poseidon, the god of the sea, he learned bad news.

The pan-human historians have been wiped out and failed.

The failure itself is nothing, after all, these pan-human historians are all inscribed as heroic beings, and life and death themselves are out of the equation for them.

But what made Drake feel unacceptable was the reason for the failure.

"Among the pan-human historians, there is a traitor?"

After hearing Drake's words, not only Matthew and Little Da Vinci, but even Red were stunned.

"How could it be...... Could it be like Miss Atalanta Alter in Moscow......"

Matthew's pretty face showed a tangled and sad expression, as if it reminded her of something sad.

Servants are the embodiment of the Heroic Spirit's own personality and memory, so they will also have their own thoughts and judgments, even if they are automatically summoned by the restraining force and given the task of guarding the history of pan-humanity, it does not mean that they will become puppets that only exist for this purpose.

Therefore, in rare cases, it is not impossible for a follower of pan-human history to commit a mutinous act.

But......

"So which servant rebelled?"

Little Da Vinci held the juice in his hand and looked at Drake with a solemn expression, and the smile on the latter's face was a little more bitter.

"Actually, it's not any Servant...... It was the entire Argo Ship Regiment under the leadership of Iason that mutinied, attacking almost all of the servants who remained in the ocean except me. ”

Alas?

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yiasong? How could it be...... I thought he had reformed himself......"

"No, there's no reason why Iason shouldn't have done this—and even if he wanted to betray pan-human history, the rest of the crew wouldn't have been able to follow him without brains."

Unlike Matthew, who was clearly shaken, Red inexplicably trusted Iason, and Drake glanced at him thoughtfully.

"I think so, too, but it's also true that they attacked other servants...... However, it is worth mentioning that I saw what appeared to be a new crew member on the Argo, a mysterious woman with fiery red hair, a mermaid-like posture, and a trident in her hand. ”

"Sounds like a kidnapping of a senior...... Miss Maera? ”

"I don't know, I can only explain what I know, and the truth behind it can only be found out by yourself."

Then the heavy hearts of the people did not have the heart to continue drinking and chatting in the tavern, so little Da Vinci went to help Mathieu repair the Lingji exoskeleton Ortenus, and Red came here to think about the current situation.

"Do you have time for me to have a drink?"

Just then, a hearty voice interrupted Red's thoughts.

Before Red could answer, Francis Drake sat across from him with a big grin with a wine bottle.

"I didn't expect my tavern to be able to wait for guests, after all, most of the residents in this Persona Zone don't have a concept of taverns, and I can only drink here and miss my deceased friends...... Would you do the same, Red Douglas? ”

"No, I won't."

Red said crisply.

"I don't have much time to spend nostalgic for the past, the present and the future are a basket of problems to be solved, and dwelling too much on the past that has no chance of changing doesn't make any sense to me."

Hearing Red's words, Drake's eyes lit up with a strange light.

"Sounds handsome...... And it doesn't seem to be just rhetoric, maybe you're also a real 'Star Pioneer'? ”

"That's an overstatement, Captain Drake...... In the body of a servant, snatching the god Poseidon from his divine core - this is something that even I would hardly do. ”

Star Pioneer is a special skill given to heroes at a turning point in human history, which is a proof that they once turned the "impossible state" into "something achievable".

But hearing Red's flattery, Drake's eyes narrowed meaningfully.

"It's not that it can't be done, but it's 'hard to do'?"

Drake reached to his chest and pulled out a blue gem from the place where only her size could hide things.

Red's pupils shrank, and he could tell that this was the core of Poseidon the sea god.

In other words, it is the cpU of the operation ship for planetary environment modification, the computing core.

"I just talked a little bit with Matthew and Little Da Vinci...... Looks like you were the one who led them to me, right? I guess you don't just want to come over for a drink for no reason. ”

Drake raised the Poseidon Core in his hand and casually threw it to Red.

"I can give this to you, but in exchange, I want to know about you—not what you said to Matthew and Little Da Vinci, but why you are so clear about what you are going through in the Chaldees, and what you really are trying to do."

Red looked at the Poseidon Divine Core in his hand, and as his mind moved, the blood-red lines quickly covered the surface of the Divine Core.

At this moment, Red could feel a strong resentment at the bottom of the ocean in the distance, or the divine core in his hand.

Sure enough, by amplifying the Divine Core, you can use it to sense the location of the damaged Poseidon, so that the next destination can be found.

At the same time, Red can sense that because the Divine Core is controlled by himself, he has also received certain blessings and ...... from Poseidon Ability.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the Divine Core?"

Hearing Red's words, Drake let out a loud laugh.

"Based on the fighting power you showed in your battle with Artemis in the sky, if you wanted to snatch something from me, you could have done it a long time ago. After all, I'm just a broken spiritual base, just a servant who is just surviving here. ”

Red looked thoughtfully at the Divine Core in his hand, and a new thought immediately occurred in his heart.

"I'll tell you everything if you want to know, Francis—but I'm afraid my story is a bit long, and I can't tell you all in one night."

"Then pick the point, I just want to know ......"

"No, I mean – we'll have a lot of time to get to know each other later."

Red reached out and grabbed Drake's wrist, and as his mind moved, an invisible wave of energy extended down the Poseidon Core in his hand to Drake's body.

Drake seemed to sense something, and looked at Red with wide eyes in surprise.

"Curse on me......"

"Through the Poseidon Divine Core, I can briefly obtain the authority of the sea god, and the curse on you that was previously imposed by Poseidon has been removed."

Even so, the spiritual base inside Drake's body has also been irreversibly damaged-

But Red thought he could try.

I saw a flash of red light in Red's hand, and the power of blood and qi fused together, and turned into a red lamp ring.

"Francis Drake, you should also want to ventilate your anger to Poseidon himself."
