Faslanka, 6 Mink Street, 1st floor, detached house.

Above the distant starry sky, the crimson moon shines quietly on the city of Faslanka, the "potato capital" that is gradually returning to silence.

Mies read word by word, and handed the invitation letter written by the captain of the narwhal, Behrens, to his sister Irene.

"You said that the old man who couldn't lay fish for a week in a row before is actually a powerful captain?"

Erin took the invitation and read it several times.

"That's right, Irene, Captain Behrens has been hiding in Pritz Harbor before, and his purpose is to find a deputy who can help him, which requires great talent and insight, as well as extraordinary courage that is indispensable."

"Of course it's not me boasting, that's what he says about me, hoping I can be his first mate, with a salary ranging from £15 to £35 a week."

Then he pulled out a thick, ink-smelling wad of gold pounds from his pocket, which glowed with an enchanting sheen in the light of the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

"Erin, this is the captain's advance of 2 weeks' salary, a total of 50 pounds." Mies put the wad of bills into the letter and pushed it beside her sister.

Erin glanced at it, her expression was deeply wrinkled, and she pursed her lips and said:

"Mies, I've always supported you in whatever you want to do, but sailing on the sea is dangerous, and even a clergyman with extraordinary power can't guarantee safety on the sea."

"Yes, the clergy can't guarantee it, but Captain Behrens has a close relationship with the Poseidon Church, and when we transport goods and goods, we are escorted by the Poseidon Church's unique ghost ship, which is not comparable to the clergy." Miss smiled in response.

Seeing that Erin still wanted to say something else, he hurriedly added:

"And we sail on a safe channel, sister, there are dozens of steam merchant ships coming and going in each safe channel, and there are more than a hundred of them in time for the New Year's peak, and there are also official warships of the kingdom that cruise regularly......"

"Seeing that Venason and Gropius have grown up, you don't want them to be able to even get the money for the engagement when they meet their beloved girl in the future, do you?"

"Engagement money...... "Erin repeated in a low voice, her eyes moving to the thick pile of gold pounds beside her, as if she had struggled for a long time before she said:

"Mies, you need to reassure me, and also to your parents who are far away in the Crimson Divine Kingdom, that you will not do dangerous things, and ensuring safety comes first."

The corners of Mies's mouth turned up, and he nodded briskly.

"I can guarantee it, and I'll be back once a quarter, the captain said there would be a week's vacation, and it was the paid kind oh, Erin, you really are a great sister."

Miss couldn't help but jump up and kiss Erin on the forehead.

"Tomorrow I will save this salary."

"No problem." With that, Mies relaxed and walked to the couch and sat down.

"Great persuasion, it's the first time I've seen Erin agree to your request so quickly." Gropius gave a thumbs up and laughed in a low voice.

Mies cleared his throat and replied solemnly:

"That is, I am famous for my teacher, using my younger brothers as a shield, Erin will not refuse me, and according to her character, she will definitely divinate at night, I use a little guidance, and I will be very satisfied with the direction of divination at night."

According to Erin's past habits, although she agreed to this matter, Mies could almost directly determine the operations such as divination in private.

Although the Sleeping and Crimson Gods do not respond to an ordinary believer who does not possess any supernatural powers, it is inevitable that the night breeze will blow through the windows and cause unnecessary accidents.

Gropius opened another page of the "Atlas of the Great Voyage" in his hand and said:

"Next time, just use Vinason as a shield, and don't deliberately emphasize adding me."

"A younger brother doesn't have enough weight, Erin has a chance to refute, only with the addition of you, I can completely win." Mies said with a smile on his lips, he picked up a cup of coffee on the coffee table, took a sip, and couldn't help but admire.

"Very mellow coffee, Gropius, your skills are getting better and better."

At this moment, Erin suddenly stood up, walked to the sofa and said:

"Mies, Gropius, it's Sanghana's birthday this weekend, and she wants to invite us to dinner, are you free?"

"I shouldn't have a problem, by the way, Miss Sangana who had misfortune with her fiancé?" Gropius asked subconsciously.

"That's right, we can enlighten her at the dinner party and help her come out of the shadows."

"No problem, my official departure is next Monday, which is the tide time of the Chaos Sea." Miss put down her coffee, picked up the snacks on her plate, and filled her mouth to taste them.

"Looks like we're going to have to think about what kind of birthday present we want to give Miss Sangna, and I've heard that gifts are the best way to help people get out of the shadows quickly."

Gropius smiled and said:

"Erin knows Miss Sangana better than we do, and you and I just have to do what we have to do as gentlemen."

"Gifts are secondary, and the most important thing is to amuse Sangana and help her come out of the shadows." Erin shook her head and looked at the two unreliable younger brothers, and for a moment thought of her youngest brother, Venasson, who was already far away at the University of San Honavich.

No, no, Venason is in some ways more unreliable than Miss and Gropius.

......

North Cross District, Elm Road!

Dressed in a black stand-up collar tweed coat and a half-height silk top hat, Joseph Paxton stood in the shadows of the deep alley, looking out of a small three-story building in front of him, his gray-blue eyes shining through the convex belly window, looking at the cold and unmanned bedroom inside, and listening to the horse-drawn carriage passing by quickly but not noisy in the distance.

He pulled out a silver-and-white pocket watch with an arabesque from his pocket, snapped it open, glanced at the time, and then turned his head to look at the roof of a bar on his right, where three burly men were hidden in the yellowish reflection of the gas lamps.

One of the men had a distinctly hideous scar on his face, and held in his hand a long, thick rifle with an intricate structure and the beauty of various mechanical gears.

"It's actually Seal 3-001, a polluted flame gun, a legendary burst bullet that can directly injure the soul, and has extremely high damage to ghosts and ghosts."

Frank, dressed in a black robe and hooded, was stunned and whispered, turned to look at his captain and said:

"The Sun Crusaders also used Level 3 seals?"

"This extraordinary event is extraordinary, coupled with the previous Eve pollution, so this time the Church of the Four Gods joined forces to minimize the risk."

"Strange, except for the Sun Crusade, why don't you see the rest of the official team of the church?" Elena walked out of the shadows with a wooden box, slightly surprised.

The wooden box in her hand was wrapped with many yellow-brown oil-stained bandages, and it was painted with canonical runes used to ward off evil spirits, which looked very strange.

Joseph turned his head and glanced at the wooden box, and after making sure that the contents were normal, he said in a deep voice:

"In addition to the Sun Crusaders lying on the roof of the building, the Bright Crusaders have also arrived, do you look carefully at the nearby gas street lamps, do you find anything different?"

"Something different?"

Frank and Elena were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the gas street lamps that emitted light around them, and suddenly found that under each street lamp, there was an illusory and vague shadow, which was easy to ignore if you didn't look carefully.

It's so strong that it has a stealth ability, and this already involves a hidden authority, right? ...... I didn't expect the power of the God of Light to get stronger and stronger.

"What about the Poseidon Law Enforcement Team?" Frank asked, confused.

"They've arrived, too."

As Joseph's deep and mellow voice sounded, I saw that on the carriage not far away, three people in azure religious robes came down, and they were walking towards here.

Strangely, they kept scratching their arms as they walked, adding a bit of comical to the slightly tense atmosphere.

"Uh...... What's wrong with them, are they catching lice? ”

Elena frowned and used her spit to ease the weird and absurd feeling.

"That's the negative effect of carrying the 3-654 seal, the gauntlet of pain, within 5 meters of each other, there will be persistent itching in the arm, the low-sequence wearer will have 3 minutes to use the glove's spatial ability, and the itching sensation will permanently attach to the arm after 3 minutes, and it will not be relieved until death."

As he spoke, Joseph's eyes turned to the crowd scratching his right hand, and one of them nodded at him with a bald head, indicating that he could start acting immediately.

With a whirl, a sound like a whirlwind blowing in his ears sounded, and the two instructors on the left and right sides of the bald head quickly rushed into the deep alley on the left hand side of the three-story building and hidden, while the bald head twisted his neck and walked towards the main entrance.

"They're ready to go, and we're getting started! Kane, Burglet, you hold two of the intersections on Elm Road, and Elena will now begin the test. ”

"Yes, Captain!" Two men and one woman replied in unison.

At the same time, two blurred black shadows quickly disappeared from the shadows, and Elena, who wore a court dress and had long sea blue hair, opened the wooden box in her hand, and took out a fist-sized, wriggling black skull pendant wrapped in layers of oil-stained runes.

"Seal 3-421, a bloodstain pendant, made from the skull of a premature baby, has semi-living properties at the cost of dripping into the user's blood, and within three hours of use, the user is required to drink 500 ml of dairy product to exorcise the demon."

Elena frowned imperceptibly, and she lifted the ruffle cuff of her right hand and slipped her wrist into the silver chain of the baby's skull pendant, dripping a drop of her own blood.

As soon as the black skull pendant touched the fresh blood, countless meridians swelled wildly, and the skeleton was instantly filled with flesh, hair, and skin, and even countless babies could be faintly heard crying.

Elena held the silver chain and let the baby's head fall naturally, and when it was stable, she half-closed her eyes, entered a meditative state, and said quietly:

"There are other dangers hidden in the room."

"There are other dangers hidden in the room."

......

Seven times later, she opened her eyes and saw the baby's head pendant slowly spinning in a clockwise motion, and even her expression changed to a creepy smile.

Then it spun faster and faster, until at last it heard the voice of a baby.

"Calamity, woe, woe......"

"There's Captain Calamity." Elena abruptly stopped the silver chain and said truthfully.

- Clockwise is an affirmation of the silent word, counterclockwise is negative.

And a clockwise swing with a hint will indicate 100% danger, and it will be very dangerous.

For other clerics who can peek into the secret divination, except for the high-rank strong who can specifically divinate the cause and effect of the event, most of the low-rank clerics can only divinate a rough idea and cannot further obtain information about the degree of danger.

And the answer is sometimes disturbed by other factors, and there is an unwritten consciousness in the current church circles that when it comes to pollution events, the initiators have a certain anti-divination and anti-prophecy power.
