Arka looked at the priest who was walking towards him.

He said, "Sorry, we don't know this person, but we just came here for a purpose." ”

"Don't recognize?" The priest was a little puzzled, and looked at the Arka.

Then he was slightly stunned for a moment, as if he was recalling, but Arka had already seen it, and he seemed to be using some kind of spell.

His eyes became blank, and he could feel that the aura of the Holy Mother on his body had become rich at this moment, and he should be using some kind of power from the Holy Mother.

After about a second or two, he recovered, smiled awkwardly, and said to Arka and them, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”

"A few friends, please, this place has really not been peaceful lately. If you can, you'd better leave this place early.

Why don't you stay in church for a while? It's been a long time since I've seen other believers in this place, let alone a saint. ”

Apparently it is a safe place in the church of Our Lady, unless it is a pure cultist, or a brainless fool.

Otherwise, no one would dare to provoke a true god and invade his church.

There is no such thing as a god in this world who cannot appear.

The priest babbled, then patted himself on the head.

"Look at me, it's really rude. My name is Ted, and I am the pastor of the Church of Our Lady in the Southern Cross Island. He turned his head to look at Arka, crossed his arms and introduced himself.

Arka nodded, and also made a liturgical gesture of the Church of Our Lady: "I am the head of the Compass Pupil, my name is Arka." These are my partners. ”

Xia Daiti and several people also crossed their hands: "Fortunately, my name is ......"

After a brief introduction of yourself.

Alka sat down directly next to the seat next to him.

The priest, Ted, also sat directly on the chair opposite the aisle.

With his hands on his knees, he looked at Arka with his waist slightly hooked.

"Judging by your appearance, your strength should be very strong, why did you come to such a remote place?"

The priest looked at Arka and asked.

Although he couldn't see the strength of Arka specifically, he was able to pass the breath of the Holy Mother and a certain temperament through several people.

Roughly tell that their strength is definitely not weak.

The strong aura of the Virgin on Arka's body, and the same virgin aura on the body of Xia Daiti behind him, were much stronger than that of his priest.

However, he does not call himself a member of the Church of Our Lady.

Then there is only one case.

Believers who have received the gift of Our Lady must be strong.

Alka blinked slightly.

Looking at the priest in front of him, he said, "We are here to wait for the Saint Prince you just spoke of who will be here for a while. ”

Hearing this, the priest frowned slightly.

His emotions were a mixture of vigilance and doubt, and then the vigilance dissipated, mainly because of his status as a believer in the Virgin Mary of Arka, which made him let down his vigilance.

I scratched my head in embarrassment.

I thought for a while before asking, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

It seems that I am a little afraid of trouble, afraid of being involved in some troublesome things.

Arka smiled and waved his hand: "No, it's just some of our personal matters, and it's inconvenient to let others help." ”

The priest nodded, and he seemed relieved to be able to see him.

It is not known exactly how long the priest has been stationed here, but it is certainly not short.

Personal hatred or don't drag these innocent people into the water.

At least that's what Arka thinks.

Then they chatted casually, waiting for the arrival of the prince they had never met.

"So you're actually from the homeland sea?" After learning about Arka's origins, the priest said in surprise.

"That's right, maybe a few years ago, we arrived around the Broken Sea. This time I came from the Twin Islands to settle some old things. ”

Hearing Arka's words, the priest nodded. As long as he briefly thought about some of the situations during this time, he would probably be able to understand what these people were going to do.

Most of them have nothing to do with Kerryel.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Kriel? ”

Arka nodded.

"Crière is a very ambitious man, and after returning from an outing about three years ago, he began to restrict the missionary affairs of the Church of Our Lady with even harsher policies.

Began to vigorously promote their previous ancient faith, the Misty Serpent.

It was then that some of the trainee priests and shepherd children of the Church of Our Lady left. The bishop's assignment to me was not fulfilled at all. ”

At this point, the pastor sighed.

He had probably guessed the goal of Arka and the others.

"What kind of person do you think this is?" Arka asked, looking at him.

Hearing this, the priest wrinkled his nose with a slight disgust: "A careerist, high above, regards ordinary people as ants. He's a guy who will stop at nothing to get his goals.

Although on the surface of these years, it seems to have changed the country for the better.

But he always likes to sacrifice the interests of the few to the majority, and these interests are closely related to his ambitions.

He didn't care about the people of this country at all, all he cared about was his goal, whether his wildness could be achieved.

Everything that stood in front of him, no matter who it was, could be swept away by him without hesitation.

But you have to admit that he does have some abilities and means. ”

And Balazs's assessment is almost the same.

A capable guy who will stop at any means.

It seems that the pastor, although he looks very young, seems to know a lot about the situation here.

From the perspective of a bystander.

"And do you know anything about this prince?"

The priest nodded, "I guess he was a playmate when I was a child, and he was taught by the old priest with me at that time.

I'm about 10 years older than him.

Eventually, though, he seemed to have a higher gift, and after getting some consent and leaving the place, he went to a larger church.

Later, I heard that he became a saint and was a great fellow. ”

Arka looked at the priest in front of him, and judging by his appearance, he was probably in his thirties.

In other words, the prince is now in his twenties, a young man?

Maybe it's just like them.

Suddenly, Xia Daiti, who was next to him, lightly bumped Alka with his elbow.

Sensing the touch, Arka looked up at the closed doors of the church.

Looking at Alka's gaze, Ted and Jason both turned their heads to look.

The sound of footsteps was heard, and there were not many people who could be distinguished from the footsteps, only two.

The doors of the church were opened.

A middle-aged man in light armor walked in, his expression a little unsmiling, and a giant sword on his back.

The armor on his body has a red cross, which is obviously a royal knight on the island.

Next to him, however, was a young man with wheat-yellow hair.

He had a faint gentle smile on his face, and he was also wearing a suit of armor, but the armor was embroidered with dense religious patterns.

The pattern represents the harvest of wheat and bears the symbol of the Church of Our Lady.

He also had a one-handed sword pinned to his waist.

Apparently this is a knight from the church.

"Brother Ted, long time no see."

He walked straight over and hugged him fiercely in Ted's slightly bewildered eyes.

Ted broke free of his embrace, looked at him, and then suddenly realized, "Your Highness Narkes, welcome back." ”

Hearing this, the man named Narques looked displeased, looked at the statue of the Virgin in the church and said: "Where is there any Highness under the gaze of the Virgin, everyone is a faithful believer in the Virgin. ”

Hearing this, Ted smiled helplessly.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting.

The prince looked at Arka and the others next to him, and then set his eyes on Arka and the others.

He felt the strong smell of Our Lady in Alka, a message so obvious to fellow Church of Our Lady.

"Who is this?"

Ted hurriedly introduced: "Like you, you are all saints of the Virgin, and they are here to find you. ”

"Looking for me?" Narcus looked at Arka.

Arka smiled and walked forward a few steps and stretched out his hand: "Meet me, my name is Arka ." ”

"Hello, Narks."

The two reached out and shook it simply, which can be regarded as acquaintance.

Ted silently stepped aside.

And the knight who had been following Narques stood silently behind him without saying a word.

"Friend, you are waiting for me here, is there something wrong?"

Arka smiled and said, "Like you, what did you come all the way back to your hometown? ”

Hearing Alka's words, Narcs frowned.

And the middle-aged knight behind him was ready to step forward. Arka has seen through his strength, a five-stage powerhouse.

The Narques he guarded was only a little over 50 spirals, and he was in the middle of the fourth stage.

Looking at his behavior, both Shadetti and Jason behind Arka frowned.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became a little subtle.

Narcs stretched out his hand to stop his knight: "Uncle Vesk, it's okay. ”

"You've come here to wait for me, so you should know what's going on in this country lately. My father died at the hands of his own brother, along with my family.

And I need to find my uncle and ask him for an explanation.

Or rather, take revenge on him. ”

A hint of hatred flashed in Narcs's eyes, and he said fearlessly, not caring if anyone around here would spread the news.

He knows the saints of Our Lady and has the most basic trust.

In the same way, the purpose of his return can be known to a normal person, and it would be strange if there was no such purpose.

"And after that? What about after you killed your uncle? Arka asked, looking at him.

Hearing this, Narkes frowned and stared at Arka: "What do you mean by that?" ”

He was pessimistic about whether he would be able to kill his uncle, but he couldn't do nothing.

And the stranger in front of him asked him directly about what happened after he killed his uncle.

If it weren't for the strong aura of the Virgin in front of him, and the believer of the Virgin, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to him.

"No, I didn't think about it, that's after the goal is achieved."

"Then you can start thinking about it."

Arka said directly.

Hearing this, Narmins frowned and stared at Arka with a frown: "You were sent by the church to help me?" No. I know the Church of Our Lady, and they don't help me with this kind of thing.

They also didn't have any reason to help me.

So why are you here to find me? ”

Hearing this, Arka smiled and sat next to him: "You see, although I am a saint, I am not a member of the Church of Our Lady. I act of my own free will, but without violating the canon of Our Lady.

And your uncle can kill so many people with such cruelty. And how big is the grudge he has made? ”

Speaking of this, Arka pointed to himself, as well as Xia Daiti and the others behind him: "And we happen to have some grudges with him, and we need to repay them with his blood."

The canon of Our Lady does not teach us to complain with virtue, but to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth. Of course, it is necessary to stop in moderation and not to harm the innocent. ”

The prince sat beside him, and his knight remained loyal behind him.

Narmins looked at the Arka people: "So, you mean we have an alliance?" ”

"yes, that's obvious, isn't it? Your presence is just enough to save us from facing enemies, and it also allows us to worry about hurting the innocent. ”

Hearing this, Narmins was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. He turned his head to look at Arka.

"As much as I want to take revenge on my uncle, I want to know why you need me?

You've been here for a long time, and you've only been in the church for a long time. And I was waiting here for a clear understanding of my itinerary.

You seem to have a very well-thought-out plan, what do you want me to play in this plan? ”

Although these people in front of him are saints, if they are not reliable, Master Nar still believes in himself more.

Looking at the prince in front of him, Arka smiled: "Very sharp, as you said." We've been here months ago to get revenge. It happened to be not long after your uncle killed your father.

We were ready to do it, but we have a friend here who is also in need of revenge, and he doesn't want his hometown to be thrown into turmoil. ”

"Royal disputes, bloody revenge or something, you know."

Hearing this, the prince probably understood what Arka and the others meant, and said, "In other words, you want to put me on the throne of this country? ”

"This is yours, isn't it?" Arka looked at him and said.

This is an absolutely sure-fire deal, and Arka and the others fully meet the prince's demands.

"I don't know if it's my luck or if it's a gift from Our Lady. But I have to say, thank you for your help. ”

With that, the prince stood up and held out his hand to Alka, who smiled and shook his hand.

"In that case, then you can rest here, and others will come to you to talk to you.

We'll talk about it then. ”

Arka said with a smile, and then took Xia Deti and the others to say goodbye and leave the church.

Watch as the Arka people disappear through the doors of the church.

The knight, who had been standing behind the prince, finally spoke.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't be so gullible about others, let alone something so important, they are strangers."

Hearing this, the prince smiled: "No, Uncle Minutek. He was no stranger, he was a saint of Our Lady. ”

"That's it?"

"Of course, because of that."

“…… Your will. ”

For him, who is only loyal, he really can't understand the strange trust between believers.

This is especially true of the teachings of Our Lady, even though he followed him from Narmins to the Cathedral.

Ted just stood in the back, listening to the conversation between the two.

I always feel inexplicably involved in it.

Alas.

For the sake of Our Lady!

……

"Someone is following us from behind, do you want to get rid of him?" Shadetti walked next to Arka and said casually.

"Forget it, let them follow. so as not to startle the snake. ”

Arka said, and a few people began to wander around the city, and I have to say that it is not easy to buy some practical items here. But there are many luxuries.

After buying something of interest, he left the royal city and headed for the port city.

About halfway through, the tails behind him departed.

At night, when the starry sky is curtained.

Arka and the others finally returned to the Sound of Dawn.

"I came back on time." Bororo just jumped out of the sea onto the deck, and said with a smile as he looked at the Arka people who were on the boat together.

At this time, the air on the deck is wafting with an enticing fragrance that whets your appetite.

Jason chuckled twice: "It's better than a coincidence, it's so fragrant, I seem to smell the smell of honey steak." ”

Laughing, several people came to the restaurant.

However, Juan Lu was the only one at the table.

looked at Arka and the others who came in, and shrugged helplessly.

"What about the others?"

"Where else can I be, of course I'm doing research, I'm going crazy." Juan Lu said helplessly.

Hearing this, Arka only smiled.

This has been going on for a while.

"It's okay, I'll send it to him later."

"Send it over?" Xia Daiti turned his head and glanced at him: "I think you want to join them too." ”

Arka smiled awkwardly and began to eat silently.

After eating.

Arka entered the space inside the treasure.

Descended directly into the Temple of Research.

I just saw Simon coming out of the mezzanine of the laboratory.

He looked at Arka with eyes lit up and walked over directly.

"The thing you asked me to make for you has already been made, but you still need to verify it yourself."

As he spoke, he took Arka and entered Lab 1.

It's a constructed mechanical lab, full of all kinds of machines used to build them, as well as some raw materials.

It's a laboratory, more like a forging room.

One of them was covered with miscellaneous items, and on the top of the tool was a tumbler that seemed to have just been made.

Arka looked at the tumbler and narrowed his eyes slightly, with a blue border on it.

"That's it?"

Simon nodded: "That's it, you take it for a while and study it, and I'll tell you about his abilities." ”

"There's no hurry." Arka took out the packed lunch box from his hand and handed it to him, "You take it first, and take the rest out to Julia."

I'll study it for a while, don't worry, didn't I also participate in the design drawing? It's okay. ”

Simon thought for a moment and nodded, and walked out with his lunch box.

After a while, he came back again, leaving only his share in his hand, and ate it silently beside him.

Arka studied the tumbler in his hand while briefly communicating with Simon, who was eating next to him.

And this tumbler in his hand is Arka's secret weapon that he uses to deal with Kriel.

A tool designed to prevent the enemy from escaping or teleporting.

The Vastwa space technology is used, but the two are used in reverse, and this technology is used to strengthen the stability of the space.

This would limit one of Kriel's treasures that would allow him to teleport over long distances.

Simon named it Spatial Anchor.

As for the appearance of the tumbler, it's just his bad taste.
