Crane sat in the middle of the ship about to sail, expressionlessly sorting the luggage he had brought, and beside him sat Leonard, dressed in black.

After the Church of the Night Goddess gave Klein a mission to go to sea, Leonard also joined the chase as part of the mission, and followed Crane to join the chase that may now be tracking the hidden existence of the "mysterious queen" and the runaway Ince. Zangwill's team.

Nominally, Klein, who represents the Night Church, is the head of the Church sent to assist the Storm Church. Unfortunately, due to the severe understaffing of the Night Church in the aftermath of the Beckland cataclysm, the Church did not have enough personnel to assist Klein in piloting a complete sea vessel.

As a result, until enough trustworthy men were formally recruited, Crane could only live on the privateers of the Church of the Storm. Of course, the identity he uses is no longer the previous Sherlock. Moriarty, but for the time being has not yet gotten the captain of the sea vessel "Gelman. Sparrow".

In the tacit understanding between the Night Church and the Storm Church, Crane's actions have not been hindered, and he still has a lot of say in it.

Of course, these privileges will end when Crane has found enough men—or enough spirit creatures—to be able to steer the entire ship.

I can't recruit too many people, a Grim Reaper or Xenomorph Extraordinaire would be nice. Perhaps, something with extraordinary properties could replace some of the necessary onboard staff...... Well, maybe I can build my own ship after some "ghost ship......

Klein rubbed his hand over the magical artifact formed by the extraordinary properties of the "Voyager" that the Night Church had given him to use, which was a "Nautical Compass".

With this item, even if Crane is not very proficient in seamanship, he will not lose his way in the raging seas. And for Klein, who grazed Mr. X, even if there is any emergency, he can escape according to the preset "door".

In this way, I don't have to worry about whether I will get lost in the sea, I can return to the preset location at any time, of course, the distance is not too far apart, I need to set a coordinate after a period of sailing......

Klein was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Leonard, who had a strange expression beside him:

"What's wrong, Leonard?"

“…… I still think some, well, something weird. Leonard's face was a little strange and he said to Klein beside him, "I thought I really thought you were dead for a long time. ”

"Ah......h But against the backdrop of this smile, it still looks a lot kinder.

"Actually, I felt dead at the time." Klein had a little memory on his face: "When I recited the name of the true Creator, I felt the pollution in it eroding me in all directions. ”

"You were really polluted by the real Creator, I thought ......"

Leonard paused slightly, and his voice became quieter and quieter: "I thought you were lucky enough to survive by avoiding pollution with the help of the magical items behind Chanis Gate." ”

"Not really." Thinking of this, Klein's tone calmed down a little: "In the end, it was the Aurora Club that saved me, which I didn't expect." ”

"Aurora?" Leonard's voice couldn't help but be a little louder, but after remembering that he was still on the ship of the Storm Church, Leonard quickly lowered his voice. Fortunately, the grumpy old pigeons outside didn't hear it, otherwise they would have caused trouble.

He lowered his voice, looked at Klein in front of him and said:

"I remember that you should have just become an extraordinary person at that time, how could it have anything to do with Aurora?"

Leonard couldn't figure out how Crane, who had just become an extraordinary person at the time, could have been involved with the Aurora Society.

A somewhat strange expression suddenly appeared on Klein's face, and he thought inwardly for a moment how he should explain to Leonard, and after a while he opened his mouth and said:

"I have a friend ......"

Leonard looked at Crane and listened to Crane tell him about the previous situation, he nodded slightly as he listened to what Crane said, and his head turned slightly to the side from time to time, as if he had heard something.

The sea breeze blew through the window, and the sun shone on the ground and shone on the figures of the two men. The boat carried the two sailing men and slowly headed towards their destination.

In the direction that the ship was chasing, a fierce chase was breaking out in the sea around the Rorsted Islands in the distance.

Psychedelic clouds of colourful starlight flow on the surface of the sea, and beneath the surface of the sea lies a dark and deep darkness.

The darkness of the sea is deep and frightening, and the sea is like a mirror, reflecting the stars in the sky.

Bernadette. Gustav stood atop his flagship, the Dawn, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

"What is this...... "Even Bernadette's experience could not tell what the starlight was chasing them behind them. Bernadette is not yet at the Angelic level of Sequence 2 and has no way of knowing anything about the old days, but she only vaguely guesses that this strange thing may have something to do with the cause of the fall of her father, Russell.

The star-like mist rubbed against Bernadette's fleet for a long time, and then disappeared in place. Even after the fog cleared, Bernadette was still in high spirits, and ordered her crew to quickly sail the Dawn out of the sea and move it to another place immediately.

So much had happened in this period of time, first the whispers of the Hidden Sage were not as terrible as they used to be, then the horrific cataclysm of Beckland, and now an unidentified weirdness was chasing him and his fleet.

And as the third sequence of the "hermit" path, in the previous period, Bernadette even felt that something bizarre had happened to her path.

And in Bernadette's experience, this only proves that there is a new true god at the top of this path.

Did the Hidden Sage become a god, or did someone defeat him and ascend to the throne of the "Hermit...... Bernadette couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart, she looked at the strange fog that she had shaken off and the vast sea in the distance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

…………

With the whistle blowing, Crane and Leonard, who was beside him, walked down from the boat. This is the island of Damir, not far from the Kingdom of Rune, and to the right is the archipelago of pirates and natives of the Southern Continent.

The climate here is very different from that of Rune...... Looking at the environment and pedestrians around him who were obviously different from those of the Rune Kingdom, Leonard couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Crane turned to look at the members of the Storm Church who had escorted him here, and nodded slightly:

"Thank you for sending us here."

"The storm is above." The members of the Storm Church maintained relative restraint in the face of outsiders, and did not reveal their grumpy old nature.

"Although the beliefs are different, our churches share the same goals. If you find the people you need, you can use the Storm Church's remaining eyeline to buy the ships you need. We've just been summoned from the upper echelons to meet at the church to discuss the next battle plan. ”

"Okay." Crane bowed his head slightly, the words of this member of the Storm Church have been very clear, the Storm Church may be able to give the Night Church some help in this matter, but they can only do it here.

Watching the grumpy old pigeon of the Storm Church in front of him leave, Leonard couldn't help but turn his head to look at Klein beside him, and there was a little confusion written in his green eyes:

"Klein, what do we do next?"

He didn't know what to do for a while.

"Find someone."

Klein adjusted his language to make his "personality" a little different from before. His face became even more grim, and he looked at Leonard beside him and said to him:

"We need a ship, and enough sailors. Maybe you can find some acquaintances with extraordinary people, so that you can reduce the number of people needed on board. ”

"And where should we look for it?" Leonard scratched his head and couldn't help but ask Klein. Klein was silent for a moment, and as Leonard's temporary external brain, he calmly said to Leonard:

"Do you have a familiar relationship here?"

"Hmm......" Leonard turned his head a little weakly, and said no more, "I'll take a look at a tavern or something, and I should be able to find some reliable extraordinary......"

Leonard naturally had a way of finding the reliable extraordinary, and he had Pales in his head. Zoroaster doesn't eat white rice either. Parles recovered somewhat, but after hearing Leonard's thoughts, he couldn't help but curse in his head.

Leonard couldn't help but smile on his face after hearing the old man's voice, and this strange appearance also made Crane feel inexplicable.

"I'm going to contact the Aurora Society and see if there are any sailors left here." Klein pressed the brim of his hat, and a helpless look appeared on his face:

"If you say, go to the tavern. If there are any extraordinary people, you can identify whether they have malicious intentions or not, and then you will use divination to determine it. ”

"Okay."

Leonard nodded slightly, because of what the Aurora Society had done before, he was still more accepting of the extraordinary ones he found without malice than the extraordinary ones of the Aurora Society. With Pales here, he could directly "steal" what was going on in their heads.

Leonard watched Klein leave, and straightened his clothes to make himself look more like a seasoned sailor. He picked out taverns that might have a concentration of extraordinary people—with the help of an old man who was once a "puzzle solver", Leonard easily found a few.

He took a deep breath and pushed the door open. In an instant, he was greeted by a cacophony of sounds and the dirty atmosphere peculiar to the tavern. Leonard carefully identified the extraordinaries that might appear next to him, and suddenly he felt a twisted malice, turned his head to look to the side, and found a man standing in the corner playing cards with someone.

Leonard couldn't help but ask Pales in his mind a little nervously. Zoroaster:

"It seems to be ......"

"The 'living corpse' of the 'xenomorph' pathway, he was seriously injured." Parles smiled in Leonard's mind: "Judging by the injury, he should be a member of the temperance faction of the Rose School, and he may be hunted down by members of the indulgence faction. ”

"Temperance? So, he's supposed to be a good guy? Leonard asked in his heart with some uncertainty: "Old man, do you feel the malice towards us in him?" ”

"No, but I don't mind if you let him come your sailors." In a rather deep voice, Pales said to Leonard, who was possessed by him, "He may not have any ill will towards you, after all, he is a temperance alien. But, hehe, if you bring him aboard, you should be hunted down by the Rose School as well. ”

"We don't have any other crew to recruit here......" Leonard muttered to himself, just now he could sense that most of the extraordinary people around him, even some ordinary people, were interested and hostile to him through Paris's extraordinary abilities.

It seems that as long as they show some benefits that can be made, these people will rush up and loot everything on them.

"Didn't that fateful friend of yours still contact the Aurora Society?" A smile appeared on Parles' face: "Actually, I think the quality of the members of the Aurora Society should be good, don't forget that your friend can stay in the Aurora Society for such a long time, and he should also have good connections." ”

"I still think it's a little ...... Diaphragm. ”

Leonard said to Parles beside him with some difficulty: "Many people died when the true creator came before, and many people ...... I'm a little uncomfortable with people from the Aurora Society......"

"It's up to you." Parles shrugged his shoulders in the form of consciousness and said to Leonard, who was possessed by him:

"Then you're ...... Huh? You wait a minute......"

Before Parles could finish speaking, Leonard walked up to the "living corpse" and held out his hand to him:

"Hello, is there anything you would like to say to me?"

Leonard lowered his voice and accosted the "living corpse" who had just looked at him. He keenly noticed the tense muscles in this extraordinary person's body, and seemed to be ready to attack in advance.

It seems that he is using his injured body as a trap, both to find the hostility of others and to find people who can help him, so that he can kill two birds with one stone......

Leonard, who had lost his external brain, quickly figured out what the purpose of the "living corpse" was to look at him covertly.

Upon hearing Leonard's voice, the "living corpse" immediately showed the necessary vigilance - he admitted that he had just looked at the young man who had disguised himself as a sailor, but was actually quite delicately dressed, but he did not expect this young man to come up directly and talk to him.

"You are?"

He said in a deep voice.
