Chapter 105: The Tree of Flesh (Part 3)
"Oh, since there's such a thing?" The high-dimensional seeker folded the paper in his hand and threw it into his essentia.
"Go, Mother Goddess, let's go and give Him the whole life."
——
The cold wind poured in through the shattered windows, and the fire ignited, and the whole city seemed to be turned into a raging flame. Crane took a closer look and saw that the flames were burning from the Doge's Palace, spreading through the streets throughout the city.
Something happened, Klein thought to himself. He thought of Byam, of Beckland.
Klein felt Olavey's fire burn into his heart.
He waited for a moment, and a red-gloved figure emerged from the darkness, and Leonard changed his clothes in the process of reporting to the Storm Church, and changed those clothes on his body into the deacon uniform of the Night Church.
"I've informed the Storm Church, but the Storm Church doesn't have a demigod bishop here. But soon Ion "Aquaman" Courtman will be coming from Byam. ”
Klein was silent for a moment, he looked at the burning city, and silently said to Leonard in front of him:
"So what do you think we should do?"
"If we follow the safest method, we can wait for the rescue of the Sequence Three. Anyway, we have the identity of the church, so we don't have to worry about anything else. Leonard looked at Klein:
"Are you trying to ......?"
"Do you remember Captain Dunn's words, Leonard?"
Crane said to Leonard in a deep voice, "We are a bunch of poor creatures who are always fighting danger and madness, and we are also guardians. (Note 1)"
"So......" Leonard's eyes darkened a little as he fell in love with Crane, waiting for his next words.
"We can't be here to watch the catastrophe erupt here and do nothing." Crane said word for word to Leonard, thinking of Beckland, of Byam—a fire burned in his heart.
I used to be a night watchman. Klein subconsciously thought: If I have been wise to protect myself and have been avoiding disasters, then am I still me?
"Leonard, what would you think if I showed an identity that I shouldn't have next?"
"Well, we all have secrets." Hearing Klein's words, Leonard laughed, with a slight smile in his turquoise eyes:
"I told you when I was in Tingen, didn't I? The wheels of fate begin to turn, and the protagonists of the two eras meet. ”
Leonard looked into Klein's eyes: "'Protagonists', they are all special. ”
"I believe in you, Crane."
He glanced at Hugh beside him, took a step forward, leaned into Crane's ear and whispered to him.
"If you have a bad heart, let's talk about it after this fight. Although the inhabitants are not believers in the goddess, this does not prevent us from continuing to protect the land. ”
"Okay." A gentle smile also flashed in Klein's eyes, "Even if doing so might leave us tracked down by the Church of the Storm?" ”
"Even if doing so might put us on the hunt of the Storm Church." Leonard said to Klein in confidence. His usual casual appearance was completely gone, and between his tones was a firmness that Klein had never seen before.
He looked at Crane as if he remembered the young man who had lit the sun with his hand that day.
Hugh on the side listened a little confused, but also grasped the cane that Crane had given her earlier and the dagger he had gotten later. Judging from Hugh's current observations, although the two people on his ship may be related to the terrifying organization Aurora Society, they are definitely not bad people.
At the very least, they saved their lives, and she had never seen this poor pirate ship with the strength of a pirate general loot since Hugh had boarded the Lost Land.
You know, even the "Star General" Gadelia and the "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina would plunder merchant ships when they were extremely poor.
Remembering how his captain often sat in front of the little vault and sighed, Hugh felt that there might be a deeper background behind him, and that he wouldn't be a bad guy at the same time.
"Let's disguise ourselves, Leonard." Crane laughed, took out several masks from his arms, and handed Leonard a wolf-headed mask like Anubis of death:
"Whether this success or not happens, we will no longer be able to use our identity as a member of the Night Church outside, and we will be wanted by the church on the surface."
Crane put a mask over his face and walked alongside Leonard in front of him. Hugh followed, always on the lookout for what was going on around him.
"Old man, what kind of identity do you think Klein will have?" Leonard restrained his body movements and asked Pales Zoroaster in his mind. Parles whispered to himself and said to Leonard:
"I've guessed with you many times."
After talking to Parles to no avail, Leonard shook his head in a little disappointment and quickly followed.
He was sure that the old man saw part of it, but he was reluctant to tell himself.
Klein walked ahead at the agreed location, an alley shrouded in darkness. Sharon emerged from the wall, and Gardelia appeared in the form of a cloud of starlight, along with her original crew.
"What are we going to do next?"
Gadelia didn't ask Crane why he had called them here, but just said to Crane succinctly. Obviously, Gardelia herself knows that the current situation on Olave Island is definitely quite serious, and the most rational choice should be to leave directly.
"If you don't want to take the risk, you can just get out of here." Klein was silent for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice to several people. "The current situation is much worse than expected, and I have no right to decide the path for you to take."
"We're going to encounter demigods next, and we're even going to be affected by the aftermath of Aquaman' Ion' Courtman's battle, so I'm not forcing you to fight with me. If you are willing to stay, I will leave most of the harvest this time to you. ”
Klein paused, "If you want to go straight away, I'll ask the Lost to provide you with a boat that's big enough to get you out of this island and go elsewhere." ”
Frank Lee looked at his companions with some trepidation, trying to find other colors in their eyes. He liked the captain who was willing to provide him with extraordinary materials and a place to experiment, and he admired the companion with whom he shared his ideas.
"Captain Sparrow, could you please tell us what enemies we need to face?" Gadelia said to him sensibly, and did not rashly agree or refuse.
Klein was silent for a moment, then explained to several people:
"I was ambushed by Sennior, the 'Blood General', and another demigod of the Rose School, and now they seem to be using Olawe Island to arrange a ritual to summon the arrival of a high-ranking extraordinary."
Klein's fingertips flickered, creating an illusion. The location of the burning fire is outlined on the walls, forming a seemingly intricate ritual.
And the center of this formation is none other than the Governor's Palace, which is located at the water's edge.
"My first mate and I will be tasked with destroying the ceremonial center, the stuff they've set up in the Doge's Palace. If you are going to stay, your task is to kill as many other members of the Rose School as possible in the city. ”
With that, Klein looked at Sharon beside him:
"In addition to the bloody general Seigno, I was attacked by an old man with a dark skin and sparse white hair. Do you know this member of the Rose School who is at least a demigod? ”
Sharon has the blood of the fallen Mother Goddess in her veins, and Klein knows that Sharon will definitely be in the top ten on the Rose School's hunt list. Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, Sharon will not leave.
Sharon seemed stunned after hearing Klein's words.
"Acquaintance."
After a while, Sharon's voice sounded calmly: "He is Jax of the Rose School, the 'Silent Disciple' of Sequence Three. ”
Sequence 3...... Crane's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at the few people in front of him.
"Captain Sparrow, you mean you're going to face two demigods at the same time?" Frank's eyes were a little anxious, and he feared that the captain next to him and the friend who inspired him would die in the battle (Note 2):
"The news just came through Daniz on a telegraph. Admiral Blood's flagship, the Tree of Flesh, has appeared around Byam, and Edwina, the Lieutenant Admiral of the Iceberg, is currently fighting with Admiral Blood—the Bloodie has not yet appeared, Captain Sparrow! ”
"He's probably in the Governor's Palace right now!"
"I'm not alone." Looking at Frank, who was genuinely worried about him, Klein was silent for a moment:
"I've also brought in other helpers, and if there are no special circumstances, 'Aquaman' Ione Courtman should be able to contain the other party's Sequence Three."
Frank opened his mouth, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by his own captain, Gardelia.
"Captain Sparrow, I can assist you in this battle."
"The members of the Rose School around us will be handed over."
"Wait a minute......" Klein was slightly silent, "Hugh, you go with Gadelia too." ”
"Captain, I-" Hugh spoke directly, but was greeted by Crane's somewhat serious and majestic eyes, "There is no shame in dealing with those extraordinary people who are close to my own sequence, and I can't take care of you in a battle involving demigods." ”
Strictly speaking, I can't protect myself, and I wouldn't have dared to get involved in the demigod battle without the two extraordinary demigod-level items, "Lost Country" and "Wriggling Hunger", and I had already broken one of my secret puppets when I fought Jax before......
Crane stiffened his appearance of leadership and complained inwardly.
"Let Marić pass too." Sharon said flatly, as if she didn't see Marić's growing eyes at all: "He only has Sequence Six, and he can't participate in the battle related to the demigods." ”
Marich was silent.
As she spoke, Sharon turned to look at Klein, "I'll go to the Governor's Mansion with you." ”
Crane nodded in response, and Hugh pursed his lips and joined Gardelia with Marić.
Crane, Leonard, and Sharon, who stayed in place, watched the rest of the people leave, and looked in the direction of the Governor's Palace.
They know how dangerous it is.
Because there is a "tree" there.
A huge tree made of flesh and blood!
"What do we do now? Straight to the past? Leonard asked Crane in a deep voice. Crane nodded slightly, and explained to Leonard:
"Wait a minute, I've called for help."
"Helper?" Leonard chewed on the words in Klein's mouth with some confusion, and subconsciously blurted out: "What other helpers can you hire......
Leonard couldn't help but pause after saying this, because Crane tilted his head slightly as he usually did, and made a gesture of listening.
"He's coming." Klein said calmly, a little apprehensive in his heart: "What I'm going to do next may cause you to be suspicious, but I'll explain to you what I'm doing now after the battle." ”
Leonard nodded in approval.
His curiosity had been completely piqued, and while he was slightly worried about what Crane was going to do, there was also a little bit of intense curiosity.
Immediately afterward, Leonard saw Crane speak—
"All-knowing and all-powerful God, the Creator of all; You are the root of all greatness; It is the depraved nature of all living beings. ”
"Please inform your messenger that I am here."
Crane paused for a moment and recited the spell that summoned his courier, and Sharon seemed to realize something, her pupils constricting slightly.
An illusory gate and a series of stunning, blonde heads emerged from the sky at the same time.
Out of the gate came a man in a mysterious black robe with stiff roots; On the other side is a translucent woman in an intricate and gorgeous black dress. She floated in the air, glancing at the male who appeared at the same time.
The black-robed man quickly looked away and saluted slightly to Klein in front of him:
"Your Excellency, I have come according to the will of God."
This is...... Are you really a member of the Aurora Society? When did you become the archbishop of the real Creator? Leonard's whole body suddenly stiffened, and he looked at Crane beside him, only to find that Crane had skillfully drawn a positive cross on his chest. (Note 3)
"Thank you for your assistance, Your Excellency the Secret Sage - I'm sorry for your disciple's matter."
He ...... Failure to grasp God's will is self-inflicted. Another archbishop, His Excellency, also gave him a chance, but he wanted to betray the Lord. ”
The "Sage of Secrets" Bottis revealed his deep eyes:
"Now at your command, Your Excellency."
Note 1: I deliberately changed the order before and after, and it was correct
Note 2: Frank has actually been suppressed and not allowed to do experiments, this thing is so innocent that it is not like an extraordinary person, if you want to describe it, Ah Mushroom only has pure intellectual curiosity in his heart. And Klein gave Ah Mushroom the laboratory and materials, and it was only natural that he could reap Ah Mushroom's friendship
Note 3: Although you should be able to think of it, I would like to remind you. Although we think of Klein as "free to believe", Leonard is a believer in the Goddess of the Night, and most believers in this era are more religious (compared to today), which is one of the reasons why Klein is worried about Leonard and himself.
Just like there are still a lot of devout believers abroad, if you try to trick them into believing in their own gods, and then tell them that you actually believe in another god...... emmm, the consequences can be imagined.
