Crane walked in the direction of the church in the direction of the church in a well-fitting deacon costume that fitted well.

He still retains Gelman. Sparrow's face and grim expression walked into the church step by step. Then, under the guidance of the bishop, he turned around the side of the church and walked towards the secret room at the back of the church.

The island is home to many mermaids who believe in the goddess of the night, and Crane follows the stairs to the bottom. In the dim light, he felt the moisture around him grow heavier.

As he walked down, he could even hear a long song gradually echoing around him.

The song was a little ethereal, slender and sharp, and Crane felt as if the sound he was hearing had drifted from the sea, echoing through the long, narrow, dark corridors in between.

Is this what a mermaid sounds like? Klein resisted the urge to divinate himself. He walked down with an unchanged expression.

These Mermaids who believe in the Church of the Night are safer and more docile than their wild counterparts. In addition, the mermaid here is closer to the image of the mermaid in the fairy tale than its counterparts in the sea.

As Crane continued to walk down, the lights around him that were already a little erratic went out in an instant. The mermaid's song suddenly grew louder, as if whispering in Crane's ear.

Crane's senses were in a trance, but he was able to control himself fairly quickly.

Crane took two heavy steps downward, using it to control his body's movements.

When he fully stepped out of the descending staircase, he was greeted by a platform made of black and gray bricks, which was shallowly submerged by the water, which was the source of the moisture.

And not far from this platform, there was a reef shrouded in darkness, and on the reef sat a pure-faced figure, covered with dark red scales, and the lower half of her body was a huge fishtail.

The fishtail bounced rhythmically, beating its own singing like a metronome.

Farther away, only the sound of water could be heard, and Crane speculated that the place he was now in was an underground cavern that was connected to the water outside, allowing the mermaids to enter the cave through the tunnel to help the members of the Church of the Night with their promotion, and also to serve as a refuge for them if necessary.

Klein looked at the mermaid and felt that there was a strange beauty in her body for humans.

When she heard someone's voice, the mermaid suddenly slowly raised her head and looked at Klein in front of her.

Her eyes shone with excitement, and she opened her mouth slightly, revealing the fangs that looked like pins in them.

Hey, this mermaid looks very unique to this world, no wonder it is called a kraken and a man-eating monster in folklore...... Sure enough, it's an extraordinary creature that fits the Crazy Twist trait......

Crane's face remained unchanged, he took off the captain's hat on his head, and saluted the mermaid in front of him with gentlemanly manners.

"Messenger of the Lord, are you coming?" There was a slight excitement in the mermaid's tone, and she looked at Crane in front of her, "The Lord told me that your promotion ceremony requires our singing. ”

"yes, I'm sorry for you."

Crane pretended to be grim and said to the mermaid in front of him, "I am the messenger of the goddess, are you here to help me complete my ritual?" ”

"Yes." The Little Mermaid said proudly, "I am the best mermaid in our group who sings." I heard the voice of the Lord, and what a glory it was to me. ”

"I'm glad to be able to serve you."

For mermaids in captivity, being able to dedicate themselves to the goddess of the night is the whole meaning of their lives.

"I'm sorry for you." Crane nodded, and took out a portable cauldron from his suitcase, "Please wait a minute, I'll configure the potions I need." ”

"Hmm."

The mermaid whispered, her upper body standing above the surface of the water, her tail swaying gently underneath.

Crane first put the auxiliary materials he had just taken out of the warehouse of the Night Church into the cauldron according to the recipe of the potion, and he took a deep breath and waited for the auxiliary materials to gradually merge.

Soon, the color of the potion missing the main ingredient of the potion turned to a dark gold, giving it a feeling of lightness like air.

Klein's movements didn't stop, and after confirming that the potion materials had been fully fused, he grabbed the eyeball on the black glove of his left hand with his right hand, and controlled the "wriggling hunger" to begin to separate it.

After controlling the "wriggling hunger" and separating the eyeball from the main body of the glove on his left hand, Crane mercilessly reached out and pulled off several black blood vessels that were still connected to it.

"Rosago's Angry Eye" can finally retire after accompanying Klein through several phases.

Soon, the black eyeball fused with the dark golden liquid for about ten seconds, and the potion took on an eerie all-black color.

There seemed to be quite a few tiny bugs swimming rapidly in the midst of the all-black potion. Klein's natural association with mosquito larvae growing in the summer water made his scalp tingle.

His occult knowledge and corresponding spiritual intuition told him that the tiny bug was associated with the mythical form of the soothsayer's path. Crane no longer hesitated, and after a simple divination, he reached for the cauldron and poured the potion into the bottle.

"Are you going to get started? May I ask you a question? The Little Mermaid was already lying on the black-gray stone platform that had been partially submerged, and the dark red scales wrapped around her body to prevent her skin from rubbing against the rough rocks on the platform.

"Yes." Crane nodded coldly.

"You're about to drink the potion, so why do you want to pour it into the bottle? Wouldn't it be more convenient to drink it straight? "The Little Mermaid was a little curious.

"......" Crane was silent for a few seconds at the question, his hand shaking slightly, if it weren't for the potion having the same properties, he would have almost dropped a drop.

After a moment, Klein calmly replied:

"It's habit."

"Drinking potions from a bottle I think there's a sense of ritual."

Crane couldn't help but imagine in his mind what the Little Mermaid said, if he took a crucible to his mouth and started drinking potions, the painting style would be so beautiful that he couldn't imagine it.

"Okay, I got it."

The Little Mermaid pursed her lips and looked at Crane, "Are you ready to start your promotion?" ”

"Hmm." Crane nodded.

"Then I'll sing for you."

The Little Mermaid left this sentence and retreated a few meters. She leapt out of the water and sat on the protruding smooth reef, light as a bird. The unexpectedly lively mermaid gently closed her eyes and opened her mouth.

The melodious singing voice suddenly came out of her throat.

In the face of the mermaid's song, Crane almost couldn't control his body and ran forward. But he quickly calmed himself down, brought the potion to his lips, and began his promotion to Sequence Five amid the mermaid's singing.

The potion made his body stiff like a rusty machine, and under the mermaid's song that could arouse the desires of others, the "secret puppet master" potion that made his body stiff was gradually absorbed by him.

As Klein's body broke away from its stiff puppet-like state, he slowly opened his eyes.

Although it is easy to say, Klein took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and realized that nearly an hour had passed. He nodded to the little mermaid who had been singing for an hour on the reef:

"Thank you for your hard work."

Now Klein is already a Sequence 5 "Secret Puppet Master", and he looks at the silk threads spreading from the little mermaid opposite, his eyes are deep.

He stayed where he was for a few seconds before he restrained his urge to turn the little mermaid in front of him into a secret puppet.

"No thanks." The Little Mermaid watched the extraordinary person in front of her return to normal, and then swam forward for some distance. When she stopped in front of the platform, she looked at Klein in front of her with her own eyes:

"It was I who I would have thanked you, and if it weren't for the fact that you need my Lord and would not have personally given me an oracle, I would not have had the opportunity to hear the voice of the Lord."

“……”

Crane nodded silently after hearing the words of the mermaid in front of him.

"May the Lord, may the Goddess bless you."

He watched as the mermaid disappeared from his sight before walking towards the stairs with his water-soaked shoes.

After being promoted to Sequence Five, Crane was able to use the crystal ball above the Source Fort to mobilize more of the Power of the Source Fort.

Just now, Crane felt that his connection with the Source Fort was more stable and appropriate than the period of Sequence Six, and the range of gray fog that could be mobilized in reality had also expanded many times.

Although he didn't have the same state as he imagined in reality, he could still temporarily create a divination effect close to the Source Castle when Crane needed it.

But the same Klein believes that when he invokes the power of the Source Fort in the real world, if he has a high-level sequence of extraordinary people in the three paths of the mysterious realm by his side, he also has a considerable probability of being discovered by these extraordinary people.

And once he fell into that situation, Klein thought that he should not be able to escape.

Therefore, he had now secretly decided that if he couldn't make sure that the surroundings were completely safe, he would try not to let more than a certain amount of Source Fort power wrap around his body.

Crane thought as he walked back the way he had come.

It's just that when Klein walked to the stairs, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside him:

"Zhou Mingrui."

When he heard his name before the crossing, Crane's body suddenly stiffened, and he looked at the owner of the voice beside him, and soon, his brow relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Goddess, why are you here?"

"You can call me Amanis." Amanis, the goddess of the night, shook her head softly at Klein:

"Gao Wei initiated the party, and I hope you can come to it."

"Gao wants us to come to the party?" Klein was even more relaxed: "Of course I'll come, but now the few on my ship are ...... because of the 'Superstar Master'"

Crane didn't mean to keep it a secret, after all, the few people on the ship were now on the island of Dinos, which belonged to the territory of the goddess of the night, and even if he wanted to keep it secret, there was nothing to hide.

"I'll help them cover their tracks." The Goddess of the Night nodded: "It's the same as you think, because of the matter of the Superstar Master, now the Seven Gods are indeed in a lot of conflict." ”

“…… The Superstar Juggernaut killed an archbishop of the Church of the Eternal Sun? Klein was silent for a moment: "But for the Seven Gods, this shouldn't be ......"

Crane, who was quite familiar with the Goddess of the Night, did not shy away from it, and he wrapped the power of the Source Castle around his body to isolate the possibility that his mind would be spied on by others.

Seeing this, the Goddess of the Night nodded, acknowledging Crane's caution in front of her. He explained to Klein in the words he had prepared a long time ago:

"The reason why the Seven Gods are flustered is not because the Superstar Juggernaut is able to kill the Sage of Sequence Three at the level of Sequence Four. It's not unusual that a lot of extraordinary people can do it. What the Seven Gods were really worried about was that he would be able to escape from the hands of the Eternal Sun with the power of Sequence Three after devouring the power of the Sun Path. ”

"In addition, there is an inevitable contradiction between the seven gods themselves, so some gods are careful."

“…… Escaped? Crane looked at the goddess of the night in front of him. The Goddess of the Night nodded slightly:

"That's right, after the Eternal Sun descended with the help of the body of one of his angels, he still let the Superstar Juggernaut escape into the sea of mist."

"You must know that he only has Sequence Three, and he is not the only outer god beyond the earth."

After hearing that only the Superstar Juggernaut of Sequence 3 had escaped the divine attack of a true god, Klein was silent for a moment, and the tragic situation of Gadelia's previous attack resurfaced in his mind.

Maybe a while, maybe a long time, Crane raised his head slightly and looked at the goddess of the night in front of him.

He looked at the goddess's eyes hidden by darkness, and suddenly realized something.

This time he spoke in a rather serious tone:

"Amanisis, what do I need to pay in exchange for the support of the church?"

He looked at the goddess of the night in front of him with a serious gaze, and the goddess of the night had a smile in her eyes and said softly:

"I want you to help me get the water of the River of Eternal Darkness after I get promoted to the high rank."

"I'm not destined to be able to show my head (secretly), but I hope you can help me with that."

"That's why I'm willing to invest in you all the time."
