The bow of the Taboo 0-91 Homecoming?

Bow Portrait......

Wayne's expression moved slightly, could it be that something related to the ship was what the people on the Black Pearl wanted?

It just so happens that the Dumitru neighborhood, where the Secret Division is located, is in the heart of the city-state of Caster, and if they are targeting this taboo, then everything is clear.

After a while, Wayne dispelled the speculation, and waited a little longer.

When the Vázquez clan determined the destination of the secret passage, it was naturally clear whether their goal was this forbidden object.

It's just—

He glanced at Tina, who was quietly following beside him...... A clown doll in hand.

Unexpectedly, the secret division is also the same as the Krims Cathedral, there are two taboos.

Isn't it said that there are only more than 300 contraindications that are currently known?

Why are there only four in the city-state of Caster? It's too worthless, isn't it?

And the bow statue is still a taboo item that can actively snoop on people from the outside world, so it can't also move freely like a demon clown, right?

Probably not!

It's bad enough to have a demon clown, but if you have another secret priest, won't you be alive?

Wayne looked around quietly, as if he didn't know what to do.

The detention area is quite ordinary, similar to the layout of the other office buildings of the Secret Division.

But when he entered the interior, he noticed the difference here, only to see that after turning the entrance hall, there was a room with countless rune circles.

Instead of the stone tower that filled the entire room like the previous city-state circle, three rune circles were engraved respectively, corresponding to the three passages inside the detention area - Valhalla, the Sealing Department, and the Detention Department.

Valhalla is on the left, the Seals is in the center, and the Detention Department is on the right.

Seal Dept. ...... If you guessed correctly, this is where Rogette, who was about to get out of control, was going to stay to avoid the distortion of the tainted transcendents?

And the detention department should be a place to hold those who break the law and transcendent, or dangerous epoch relics, etc.

As can be seen from the rune circle at the entrance, there are obviously more circle nodes in the detention area than in the other two places.

With such a rune array, the importance of this detention area is self-evident.

With that in mind, Wayne followed the group into Valhalla on the left.

Everyone remained silent all the way, and the expressions on their faces were serious, sad, heavy, or as calm as Wayne.

Whatever the perception of the Chief of Ales, this time he gave his life to protect the city-state.

At least he wiped out the bone-eating mother, didn't he?

Not!

As soon as he descended the entrance and came to a spacious and bright hall, Wayne was shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw that in this place the size of a basketball arena, except for the wall where they came in, there were boxes of different sizes on the other three sides.

Layer after layer, there are dozens of stairs.

The box is made entirely of unknown metal, coated in red and blue paint, and in the center is a circular photograph of an officer in the uniform of the Secret Division.

On the altar below the box, dawn candles are lit like sparks that illuminate the entire area.

And in the spacious area in the middle of Valhalla, there is a high altar-like platform.

There was only one table on the high platform, on which were placed three things - a musket, a red uniform, and a monocle.

After everyone entered Valhalla, everyone stood neatly in the center of Valhalla according to their departments, with the minister in front and the members in the back.

At the front of the line were several deputy directors, and Director Nefa, who didn't know when he had an extra red and blue box in his hand.

She held the box in both hands and turned to face everyone, her cold voice echoing through Valhalla.

"In the 135 years since its establishment, the Division has sacrificed a total of 23,554 transcendentals. Among them, there are five directors, twenty-eight deputy directors, and three hundred and twelve ministers......"

"And today, there will be a sixth director here – Ales Koulibaly."

"Ales is an excellent investigator, and since he joined the Secret Investigation Division, he has completed countless missions and solved crisis after crisis."

"At the same time, he is also the most capable of all the directors, and during his tenure he grew the Secret Investigation Division from 158 investigators to a total of 2,234 ...... now"

"His sacrifice is a loss for the Secret Investigation Division, but unfortunately, this is the fate of most of the Secret Investigation Division's investigators."

Nifa calmly recounted some of the deeds of Director Ales, and his words were not exaggerated, but from the numbers, you can see what Ales has achieved during his tenure as director.

And with her narration, there are already many people with red eyes and hidden tears.

Marco cried especially obviously, and the irrepressible whimpering sound, as if it was contagious, made many people cry too.

"Woo ......"

For a moment, the entire Valhalla reverberated with undulating whimpering.

Wayne looked at Marco with his face buried in his hands, and sighed in his heart, he didn't expect him to be such an emotional person.

Chief Nefa on the stage did not stop, and after finishing his words, he turned around and walked up to the altar, put the box in his hand on the table, and bowed slightly.

Swish!

Everyone in the audience also followed her and saluted Ales's relics together.

"Guns and fires are inherited, and the heroic spirit lives on!"

"Guns and fires are inherited, and the heroic spirit lives on!"

“……”

Wayne looked at all this with a calm face, Valhalla......

He didn't want to be like Chief Ales, who would spend his life silently for the city-state of Custer, and finally be honored to Valhalla.

What a legacy, the Heroic Spirit lives on - this is not what he wants!

Finally, with a wave of Chief Nefa's hand, the box containing Ales' relics, along with three other items on the table, rose into the air.

Until behind the five chests that floated to the top, a red candle was quietly lit, and the slightly flickering wick flickered.

"Let's go."

After doing this, everyone left Valhalla in an orderly manner.

After the investigators returned to the office, Lacey went to the meeting, and before leaving, they had to wait before leaving, and something should be announced after the meeting.

"Marco, why is that Chief Nefa wearing a veil?" Lydia asked curiously.

"It seems like it was because I was injured a long time ago," Marco replied casually.

After returning from Valhalla, he leaned back in his high-backed chair, looking much more refreshed, not as sad as before.

"Hurt? Is that disfigured? ”

"I don't know, it's just that when I first joined the secret department, I heard old Jack mention it......"

Lydia let out a sigh, and seeing that he still didn't want to speak, she turned to Carly and talked to her about the Church of the Dawn.

Ever since hearing about the belief system in the Colosseum, Lydia has become obsessed with the Dawn faith, and she has even borrowed a book of covenants from Carly.

Wayne sat at his desk, listening to their conversation, silently refining the deduction sketch he had drawn earlier.

Contraindications...... After thinking about it, he added the bow portrait to the center of the sketch, next to which the location of the Secret Division was marked.

He didn't dare to write his full name, fearing that he would increase the progress of the encounter with the ship's bow, so he only drew a very ugly collision angle to represent the ship's bow, and added a question mark at the end, indicating that he had to confirm it.

Wayne looked at the sketch of the city-state of Custer on parchment, along with the various points of note on it, as well as a few places to be determined.

Almost, with just a few more key points, he will be able to determine the secret behind this series of events.

When the time comes!

All he had to do was try to avoid the core area, hide in a place where no one could find him, and wait for the crisis to pass.

Of course, before that, he had to be ready, learn a few more life-saving spells, and prepare some potions.

At the very least, you have to be able to save your own life, right?

Wayne knew very well that in such a dangerous and strange world, it was not the best choice to leave the city-state of Custer rashly.

Whether it is to the west or to the east, the pollution of the red moon, the aberration of distortions, and the pollution and erosion of various sects need to be addressed.

So......

Wayne looked at Tina next to her, and the demon clown in her hand.

Well, if you can kidnap these two, then it should be fine.

……

……

While Wayne was thinking about how to save his life, the Basil neighborhood to the west was underground.

Several tall, coolly dressed, tanned sailors walked into the passage, which was still digging.

"Thank you, sir, for coming to help us this time."

A smile appeared on Blackjack's rugged face, "Princess Nicole, everyone is a crew member on the Black Pearl, so you don't have to be so polite. ”

"Even so,"

Compared with Black Jack's tallness, Nicole's figure is much petite, but her waist is straight, and she has a bearing that is not inferior to Black Jack, shaking her head and saying: "After all, this is a private matter of our Vazquez family......"

"A private matter? You should have received the last letter, right? ”

"Well," a subtle gloom flashed across Nicole's face, "and in accordance with Captain Isabello's will, we Vázquez people will do our best to assist the Lord in completing the captain's task and obtaining that forbidden object." ”

"That's good."

Blackjack glanced at the busy sailors and casually asked, "How's the progress now?" ”

"It's halfway through, just digging into the middle of the Natoli neighborhood. According to the plan agreed with the old fellow, he would let us use the city that never sleeps as a temporary station. ”

"Hmm."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ni continued: "The action is set for the night after tomorrow, and the time should be ......."

"Wait!"

Blackjack raised his hand to interrupt her, frowning at a sailor not far away, "You, come here!" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing his words, all the sailors stopped and turned to look at him.

Nicole looked at the sailor suspiciously, not knowing what Blackjack had found.

"Me?"

The sailor, sweating profusely, watched Blackjack point at him, and trotted over as he wiped the sweat from his face.

"First Mate, what do you command?"

Black Jack looked at him closely, his skin was rough, his beard was unkempt, and his sailor's suit was dirty, but the man gave him a very strange feeling.

"Why does it smell like a woman?"

"Women?" The sailor's eyes widened, "My lord, I, I'm a man." ”

"Of course I know you're a man, I'm asking if you have any women's amenities with you?"

"This ......"

Hearing this, everyone else looked at them with strange eyes, especially the sailor.

Likes to collect women's products, huh?

It's smelled by Lord Blackjack, isn't it?

But what exactly is it?

I saw that the sailor's face turned red, and Ai Ai took out a black garment from his arms.

Blackjack took it and put it in front of him, triangle, tulle, this sailor's good taste?

He thought for a moment, then leaned closer and sniffed it......

"It's okay, let's get to work."

The sailor scratched his head in embarrassment and turned to dig the tunnel.

Damn bastard, the old lady's personal belongings dare to smell too, aren't you afraid of being poisoned?

"My lord, is there any problem?" Nicole's face was calm, she had been on the Black Pearl for so many years, she had long been accustomed to the vulgarity of these people.

"No, nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much."

Blackjack slipped the black dress into his pocket, glanced at the sailors around him, and rubbed the stubble on his chin thoughtfully.

It's strange, how can other sailors have this smell on them?

……

……

When, when......

"Is it already five o'clock?"

Lydia paused when she heard the church bells ringing, "Thank you for telling me so much, Carly. ”

Carly was equally pleased, "You're welcome, that's what a believer in Dawn should do. ”

This was the first time she had preached the doctrine of Dawn to others, and she was indescribably happy in her heart, especially when she saw Lydia's occasional yearning expression, which was full of a sense of accomplishment.

"You're more than just a Dawn Believer, aren't you, Your Majesty?"

"Still alternate......" Carly blushed.

"I'm sure you'll succeed," Lydia said with a grin, "and then I'll be a believer in the path of the Dawn Faith, guided by Her Majesty's crown." ”

"Yes, yes?"

Squeak.

At this moment, Lacey pushed the door open and entered.

"There is good news, and bad news, for you."

"Good news, bad news?" Marco was stunned for a moment, "Captain Lacey, when did you learn to play such a routine?" ”

"Huh?" Lacey glared at him, "Did you just not fight enough?" ”

"No, no," Marco laughed dryly, he really had a bad brain before, and he actually took the initiative to fight with a violent female monster, and he still hurts his body.

"The good news is that the Abyss Sect's parasitic sacrifice plan has been confirmed to have been resolved."

Solved?

Wayne raised an eyebrow and asked, "What about Polson?" ”

"At the meeting, Director Nefa used his prophetic power to confirm that there were no more people from the Abyss Sect in the city-state of Custer, and even if Poulson was not dead, he must have left."

"That's right."

Wayne thought thoughtfully: Prophecy, can you trace the movements of specific people? That's a good ability.

Carly raised her hand and asked, "What about the bad news?" ”

"Bad news," Lacey sighed, "always be prepared for a bigger crisis." ”

"And?"

"That's what Director Nefa said, but what she meant was more of a man-made calamity, not a third-level calamity like the Abyss Sect."

"Artificial ......" Marco looked moved, "It has something to do with that one in the morning?" ”

"It should be, at least Yegor and Abbott's ministers think so," Lacey said helplessly.

Morning......

Wayne thought of what Lacey said when he returned, that someone from the council came in the morning and wanted to seize power?

Is this the case?

"In short, everyone should be vigilant and try not to act alone."

"Understood."

"Okay, everyone has worked hard for two days, let's go back and rest. Tina, let's go, I'll take you to a big meal. ”

"Tina," the white-haired girl glanced at Wayne and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”

"See you tomorrow," Wayne touched her head, maybe he couldn't wait for tomorrow, and he would see him in the evening.

"Tina, see you tomorrow!"

Then, several people packed up their things and left the office one after another.

Wayne and Carly walked together with Marco at the door of the Secret Division, heading towards Golden Street.

It was approaching midnight, and it had been raining heavily since last night, and most of the people on the road were rushing back and forth.

Wayne noticed that their faces were distressed and worried, and when they gathered together, they would talk and discuss in low voices.

“…… I heard that last night's secretary was ominous, and killed a lot of people. ”

"Quite a few? At least a few thousand, didn't you see those city guards carrying corpses in the morning? ”

"A family of four who lived in the house next door to me died......"

"Don't the city-state's higher-ups care? What about the Parliament, what about the Council of Nobles? Are they just going to let those damn ominous kill people at will? ”

"Silence!"

When they saw the two of them, they glared at them with resentment, but when they saw the muskets on their waists, they all lowered their heads, looking like they dared not speak in anger.

Is that how it is understood?

Wayne didn't care about these people's gazes, and there was a little strange in his heart, these people thought that the secret division would kill people at will?

Is it another game between the top leaders of the city-state?

"Last night, you killed a lot of parasites?" Carly asked, too, overhearing the conversation between the men.

She held a small pink umbrella in her white hand, dressed in a neat investigator's uniform, and her long golden hair and fair face were still dazzling in this dim rainy weather.

Wayne nodded, "Hmm." ”

He didn't really want to remember the vicious charge of the parasites last night, and the screaming of a terrible death.

Especially in order to improve his marksmanship as soon as possible, he killed so many ...... in a row

"That must be hard, right?"

Carly said calmly, "They didn't provoke the others, but they were devoured and transformed by parasites...... If it were me, I would have a hard time doing it. ”

"After the events of the past few days, I am sure that I hate the Abyss Sect. No, I hate anyone who treats life as a consumable! ”

Is it hard?

Perhaps.

Wayne didn't say anything, he only took the initiative to kill those parasites in order to survive better.

Truth be told, he doesn't feel much guilt.

Because those who can no longer be called human beings are just a shell manipulated by abyssal creatures.

"Although I have seen many people who have been polluted and turned into aberrants before, I have never been so touched as much as I am now......"

"So what?"

Carly took a deep breath, "I hope Dawn will make a change, they should be better suited to take on the responsibility of defending the city-state than the Secret Division. ”

"When I was in Valhalla, I saw so many relics of the Inquisitors who had died...... I'd love to know how much Dawn did in those calamities at the time of their sacrifice? ”

At this point, Carly paused, "Is it stuck in the Krems Cathedral like this time?" ”

Wayne raised his umbrella slightly, and looked at the Krems Cathedral not far away, as she did, "I want to know about this too." ”

He thought of the Glory Society and the nobility of the Natori neighborhood, the Council and the Secret Division in the central area, the Black Pearl in the west, the Abyss Sect, the Despair Sect, and the Red Moon Church in the east......

A thought popped into his mind, could it be that their ultimate goal would be this church that had stood for countless years?

Wayne couldn't help but laugh, this idea was not realistic.

Even the Secret Inspectorate has thousands of transcendents, and the strength of Krims Cathedral will only be stronger.

And the blessing of those transcendent belief systems of the Dawn Church, they want to fight the idea of this cathedral, with the extraordinary power they see now, it is still far away.

"Wayne, I'm more and more interested in making a change now." Carly didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a melancholy expression.

"Then do it." Wayne glanced at her, "There are some things that can't be achieved just by thinking. ”

[You are locked by Melbert Osilies' killing intent. Comment: Here he is, here he is everywhere. Reward: +3 Survival Points. 】

Is it 3 o'clock?

Wayne pouted secretly, not a little worse than Matteo of the Abyss Sect.

But it seems that the guardian knight doesn't want Carly to have such thoughts?

"You think so, too?"

"Of course," Wynne thought to himself, "I think you should lead the change in Krims Cathedral to better defend the city-state of Custer." ”

Since you don't want Carly to have such thoughts, why don't I push it?

[You are locked by Melbert Osilies' killing intent...... Reward: +5 Survival Points. 】

Wayne secretly rejoiced in his heart: It's five o'clock, and the killing intent has increased, this is, it seems that the direction is right.

After this period of growth, he is no longer the rookie who didn't understand anything before, and even killed two ministerial-level abyss creatures.

A ministerial-level transcendent like Melbel, he was not afraid at all now.

"Well, I'll try!"

Carly had a smile on her face, as if she had made a decision in her mind, and she looked even more radiant.

"I'm sure you'll make it." Wayne smiled as well, wondering if such a direction would be in line with her attainment of the authority of the Holy Maiden.

Seems like there's only one right to adjudicate now, right?

Tut

If Carly also succeeds in obtaining the authority of saints, then there will be four saints in the Church of the Dawn, which sounds quite bluffing.

[You are locked by Melbert Osilies' killing intent...... Reward: +5 Survival Points. 】

Very good, keep going, don't stop, don't stop!

When the two of them returned to Golden Street, Wayne returned to his residence and faintly heard a conversation between Carly and Euan outside.

"Dad, are you on the doctor? Only coming back now? ”

"Ahaha, yes, I don't know what's wrong today, so many people were injured."

"I tell you, try not to go out during this time, it's too dangerous......"

Hearing this, Wayne sighed enviously, it seems that it is not bad to have someone who cares about it.

He subconsciously looked at Claire's temporary bedroom, and it seemed that the woman had not returned......

"Wayne."

"Huh?"

"Welcome home."

Wayne looked at Miss Zombie standing on the stairs and couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Damn, it looks like there's a warm current running through my heart, what's going on?

Thank you KOK_Ni_ for the reward, thank you very much.

That's it for today...... That's all it takes to write for half a day, and the state is a bit poor.
