With heavy steps, the third cardinal, St. Simon, stepped into the Council of Cardinals.

In the council chamber, the first cardinal, St. Gregory, and the second cardinal, St. John, were already waiting there.

Looking at the thick exhaustion and anxiety on Saint Simon's face, the First Cardinal Saint Gregory spoke: "Still not found?"

"Yes, the whole ocean, from east to west, from south to north, I have led all the men to sweep it carefully, but still they have not found St. Mark. St. Simon frowned: "As soon as the clue arrives in the Spice Islands, it will be completely broken. ”

"This shouldn't be......" St. John puzzled: "This time with St. Mark went out with the 'Immortal Shield' of the Templar Order, Mama Teresa of Notre Dame, plus St. Mark himself, the three of them joined forces, not to mention defeating the enemy, even if they met the strongest of the titled level, they could fight, even if they couldn't fight, they should be able to escape, how could there be no news at all?"

"I don't know......," thought for a moment, and Saint Simon continued, "but this matter must have nothing to do with that strange ship, and with that group of Vikings! Several merchant ships can testify that the Royal Spanish Fleet was heading for the Spice Islands, and the same is true of that strange ship, and there was also a naval battle between the Vikings and the South Sea Pirate Alliance. St. Mark's disappearance must have something to do with them!"

"But neither the Vikings nor the strange ship we could find, did we?" said St. John.

"That's what I suspected! According to the pirates of the South Seas, it was the Vikings who won the battle and hunted them down. But if they won, why did the Vikings disappear without a trace in the end, instead of taking control of this golden trade route?

"Do you suspect that the Vikings killed St. Mark?" St. Gregory frowned, "With their little strength, it's unlikely, right?"

"It's unlikely, the Viking King is just a veteran martial saint, and his younger brother has only been promoted for a long time, and of course he is not St. Mark's opponent. Saint Simon said: "But from the news I got from those Nanyang pirates, there is also a mysterious martial saint who helped the Vikings at the key point of the battle, so that the Vikings won the game, and I have been investigating the identity of this mysterious martial saint." ”

"That mysterious martial saint is strong?" asked St. John.

"It's not that strong, according to the description of those pirates, at most it is only the level of a veteran martial saint. St. Simon replied.

"That wouldn't be St. Mark's opponent. St. John was puzzled: "Especially when the battlefield is still on the sea, the three of them join forces, almost equivalent to a title-level powerhouse, how can they be defeated." ”

"I don't think this matter has anything to do with the Vikings! The key is still on that strange ship! On the mysterious martial saint who can kill Trigo with one blow on the strange ship! St. Mark: They went out this time to find that strange ship! They didn't go to trouble the Vikings, so they might not have a conflict with the Vikings. St. Gregory analyzed: "And the whole Royal Spanish Fleet was destroyed, and not a single person escaped." No matter how strong the Vikings were, they couldn't have wiped out the entire Spanish Royal Fleet, right? ”

"However, the fact is that the entire Royal Spanish Fleet has been wiped out, and we have only found some wreckage of the fleet on some of the small islands of the Spice Islands. There is not a single live mouth. St. Simon explained.

St. John analyzed: "I think it is still inseparable from the Vikings, it is very likely that the Vikings and the people on that strange ship have joined forces! They have teamed up to destroy St. Mark and them! We have now found those Vikings in a small way! I don't believe it, there are tens of thousands of Vikings, all of them want to eat and drink, is there really no clue at all?"

......

In the midst of the heated discussion, there was a knock on the door of the Cardinal Chamber.

"Come in!" said the First Cardinal, Master St. Gregory.

A priest in a white robe walked in, respectfully presented a scroll, and said, "This is just sent by the Special Intelligence Agency, and according to them, the matter is very urgent!"

"The Special Intelligence Agency?" With a question, St. Simon, who was closest to the door, took the scroll and opened it directly.

The more he looked at it, the deeper his brow furrowed.

After looking at it for a while, he handed the scroll to St. Gregory on the other side.

After looking at the beginning, St. Gregory's face was not good: "Jerusalem, Judaism, and evil spirits, what are they doing?"

St. John took the scroll the third, and the more he looked at it, the more serious his face became.

Finally, he put down the scroll and sighed, "Hey, they still don't give up." ”

St. Simon also spoke in a low tone: "How can this sea of death be easily entered by these foolish people of Judaism? This is the starting point of the River Styx, the paradise of the dead! Back then, our hundreds of thousands of troops had no way to take it, and they thought that they would be able to enter it by inviting some evil demons to come crookedly?

"They're not stupid, they can't let go, and they want to restore their former glory......" St. Gregory also sighed, and then gave the order: "Go, bring the master Augustine to the library!"

The white-robed priest was ordered to leave.

There was a sudden silence in the chamber.

After a while, an old man with gray hair and a brown robe walked into the council chamber with the support of the white-robed priest.

"Bring me a chair! Let Master Augustine sit for a while!" St. Gregory ordered.

In a few moments, an upholstered chair was moved in, and the old man in the brown robe sat down.

The pastors slowly left the chamber, and there were only four people left in the chamber.

Then St. Gregory explained: "Master Augustine, we have invited you here to inquire about some previous matters. Just now, the Secret Service sent a piece of information showing that the Jewish ...... that now occupies Jerusalem"

After listening to the cardinal's story, the old man spoke: "I don't know what you want to know?"

"I wonder why the synagogue chose this time to draw people into the sea of death. St. Gregory asked directly.

The old man laughed: "Cardinal, it's very simple, because after four months, it will be the season when the waves of the Sea of Death are the smoothest, and it is also the time when the sea level of the Sea of Death is the lowest in these four hundred years. It was them, Judaism or Shinrikyo, from the Ark of the Covenant, from the Dead Sea Papers...... Recently!"
