"Welcome, Griezmann. ”

Still in the form of an old gentleman, Belif opened his arms and warmly greeted Gehr from the rope bridge to the deck of the ship.

"Now you can tell your purpose. Gehr's enthusiasm for Belriff's outward exposure was not worth it, and he knew very well what the man's heart was like.

"Don't worry, you'll figure it out soon. Bailey didn't seem to care about Gehr's coldness, and turned to look at the second Carmerita, who came up next, "Ingrid's next goddess officer, welcome, welcome, it's my honor to be able to welcome you." ”

"Belif, white deacon of the Holy Spirit Sect, are you trying to provoke another war?" said Carmelita, standing beside Gehr, her expression cold.

Belif smiled, a hint of disdain and coldness in his amiable smile.

At this time, the sampans on which the other slaves were sitting also arrived, and the conversation between the three of them came to an end.

As the slaves boarded the ship, the deck began to get noisy and chaotic.

"Take them down. ”

Following Bellive's orders, the soldiers who had followed Gehr and the others continued their mission, taking Gehr and Carmelita into the cabin.

Heading down the stairs, Gel and Carmelita quickly reached the hall on the first floor.

The walls of this hall are made of mahogany panels, which glisten in the light as if soaked in oil, and are topped by crystal chandeliers, which are densely arranged on the sides to illuminate the hall. There are oil paintings hanging on all sides of the mahogany walls, mainly landscapes, with fields and hills. There are verdant trees and docile domestic animals, some are rain scenes, and the sky is hazy in the rain, and some are garden portraits. The flowers and trees painted are very realistic.

There are also dabble in the ocean, from calm waves to storms.

Of course. In addition to the scenery, there are also portraits of people, including knights in armor, fighting each other, and every expression and fighting action is clearly visible. There are also many clergy, who come to life with the help of a wonderful pen.

Other than that, the entire hall was empty, and there wasn't even a single chair. The crowd walked on the floor, making clear footsteps. It reverberates through the space.

Escorted by the soldiers, Gehr walked straight through the hall, to the staircase on the other side, and then down the line.

Walking through the narrow and dark passages, only the footsteps of the crowd echoed in the space, as if there were only Gel and their group here, and no other sailors and crew members.

The glass-covered oil lamps on the walls were not lit either, in fact, except as a last resort. Lights are rarely lit here, and fire prevention has always been an important precaution for ships at sea. This situation makes everything in front of you fall silent in the dark, like a big mouth that devours everything.

Suddenly, the soldier leading the way stopped. There was a fumbling on the wall next to it, and then there was a click, and the door to one room opened.

A slightly astringent smell greeted us. With the humidity that is common at sea.

"You two live here, and every day when you eat, it's delivered on time. The rest of the time you are not allowed to walk around, you can knock on the door if necessary. There were soldiers waiting at the door. "The subtext is that there are soldiers watching the door at all times, so please don't make any small moves.

Entering the room, the door to the room was quickly shut, and then there was the sound of chains sliding and crashing, and it was obvious that these soldiers could be said to be strictly guarding the two of them, not giving any chance.

Gehr pushed open a small window in the wall, which was the size of a human head, but enough to let in sunlight and fresh air.

By the light, Gehr casually surveyed the environment in the room.

The walls are plain brown panels, slippery to the touch, apparently treated with tung oil. There are two single beds in the room, which are located on both sides against the wall, and in the middle is a square wooden table and two high wooden stools, the table legs and chair legs are nailed to the floor and cannot be moved.

There was a shelf on the wall that was supposed to hold oil lamps, but it was now empty, and it was clear that Belif and they were afraid that Gell would burn the ship on fire.

However, the cups and pillows on the bed are all new and smell of sunshine, which is good news for the two who will be living here permanently.

"My side, your side. ”

"No problem. Camerita nodded, having no objection to Gehr's assignment.

"According to records, the Holy Spirit Sect has been developing inland, but I didn't expect it to start running to the sea now. Gehr sat on the bed, leaning against the wall, chains rattling at his wrists and ankles.

It is said that the tools that bind the two have also been replaced with a new set, and now there is a metal ring on the wrist and ankle, and there is a chain at one end of the ring, and the four chains are connected together at the same point, so that there is no problem for the two to walk, but it is not good if the action is large.

"It is not surprising that, after losing the land and the large number of believers, the only way to obtain the funds needed to maintain the church is to engage in commerce, and the sea trade, which is now the most profitable thing, is more worthy of investment than the traditional road trade, which has been completely divided. I went to Konatas before to do preliminary work for the next step of the church's participation in maritime trade. ”

"By the way, what did you mean by the white deacon?" Gehr looked at the chain that was dragging to the side of his hand, and moved it down, changing to a more comfortable position.

"Originally, the Cult of the Holy Spirit was divided into two parts, one was the Church of the Divine Word, which was mainly responsible for recruiting believers and spreading the faith, and the other was the Inquisition, which was responsible for the execution of heretics, assassinations, and intelligence and other covert work. Because the people of the Hall of the Word are generally dressed in white, while those in the Hall of Judgment are dressed in black, they are in charge of both departments

People are called white deacons and black deacons, and they are accountable only to the Supreme Leader, the Pope. By the way, that Amiro is the deacon in black, but I suspect that this is not his real name, according to our church intelligence, the person in charge of the court of judgment is now a deacon named Gudar. ”

"Goodard......" Gell whispered.

......

For the next five days, except for washing up and deck out, Gehr and Camerita spent the next five days in this room.

When he was on deck, Gell had seen Beto before, and there were more wounds on his face, and it didn't look like he was having a good time. However, there was nothing Gor's power to do about it, as long as he left the room, the four heavily armed and vigilant soldiers who would be by his or Camerita's side at any time tore them apart from the others.

The sea and the sky are one, and they can't tell whether it is water or sky, but they can only see a vast patch, and under the sun, the waves that stretch into the distance emerge one by one, hitting the bow of the boat, splashing several meters high, driven by the oncoming sea breeze, with countless fine droplets of water, and plopping on the face.

Gehr closed his eyes and felt the rare atmosphere.

Unlike sailors who are accustomed to the sea and even feel like they want to vomit, Gehr is still very curious about the sea, and even if he looks at this scene every day, he does not get bored.

Because there are no trees, forests and buildings, the wind on the sea is much greater than on land, and it is normal to be blown around by accident.

I don't know what the road is for, Geer feels that he enjoys this wind very much, as if some cells in his body are calling for the sea breeze, every time the wind blows in front of him, it is as if the whole person is floating in the air, losing all his weight, very comfortable.

This sign is very strange, and Gehr also examines it in detail, but unfortunately he can't find the reason, but he got some clues from a chat with Carmelita.

According to Camerita, there are people who are born with a sensitive sense of the energy of a certain being, and they act in the same way as Gehr feels now. During the reign of religion, such people were called children of nature, and they were highly sought after by every church.

According to the records of the ancient alchemy books in the secret collection of the Church, this world is full of all kinds of energy particles, and some people who are born with certain energy particles can easily manipulate these energy particles to accomplish some incredible things after receiving targeted training. For example, people who are close to fire-based energy particles can raise a fire out of thin air, and for example, people who are close to plant active energy factors can catalyze plants and heal wounds, and the essence of alchemy is to use the characteristics of these energy factors to transform matter.

But not everyone is born with these energy particles, and in fact, only a few people, including alchemists, can use energy particles. In order to make it available to more people, some pioneers have found ways to forcibly change the properties of the body through some systematic physical and mental exercises to obtain close energy particles, which is the source of the secret techniques of various churches.

But with the passage of time and the deepening of research, people began to find that the essence of energy particles is actually extremely violent and unstable, and the reason why it can be used by humans is because there is also a mysterious substance called "mercury cell" mixed in the energy particles, and it is this kind of thing that acts as a stabilizer to make the essence of the violent energy particles domesticated and can be used by humans.

But this kind of thing is different from energy particles, it is constantly decreasing, and by the time people find out that this situation has not yet found the cause, it is already too late. The success rate of ancient alchemy has been declining, and it is almost impossible to succeed at the worst, and those who use energy particles are not only less and less effective in using them, but also more and more vulnerable to the backlash damage of energy particles.

The most lucrative later led to the disappearance of ancient alchemy, the rise of the variant science of alchemy, and the ability to manipulate energy particles has become a legend, leaving only inefficient secret techniques that can barely be used, but it is not far from the time of extinction.

Carmelita's conclusion is that Gehr was born at an inopportune time, and if he had spoken out hundreds or thousands of years earlier, he might even be regarded as a holy son.

As for now, it can only be said that it was born at an inopportune time. (To be continued......)
