Chapter 195: Deep Winter (Monday Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)
Sunia Sea, Passu Island, Church of the Storm Abyss.
This is the headquarters of the Storm Church headquarters, the temple within the temple, the place where the gods are cared for.
Here, the murals outlined in blue, silver, green, golden and other colors seem rugged, but they have a sense of sacred majesty, coupled with the dome more than 100 meters high, people can feel their own insignificance just by standing here, and they can uncontrollably lower their heads.
Alger Wilson had gone through the ritual to "really" become a Sequence 5 "Singer of the Seas", arriving with the same group of exaltators, waiting to hear the teachings of Pope Gad II.
Sure enough, overdose of potions is really easy to get out of control, I've already digested all the previous ones, and this time I still can't bear it...... When I leave the island of Passu, I borrow the "Darkless Cross" from the "Sun" to eliminate the superfluous traits, which can be exchanged for money and secretly cultivate some extraordinary people who are loyal to me...... Alger could see that his hair was a little darker and thicker with the help of the reflection of the blue stone bricks on the ground.
At this time, the sound of a musical instrument like thunder sounded, exploding in the hearts of every extraordinary person, spreading great fear.
Pope Gad II came out with his scepter, ascended the steps, faced the crowd, and said in a low voice that was billowing away:
"Congratulations, you are one step closer to the Lord. ”
He wore a triple crown inlaid with sapphires, emeralds and other precious stones, and wore a dark blue and almost black robe, which was embroidered with gold and silver silk threads with patterns symbolizing lightning, storms, and the sea.
The earth angel, the spokesman of the "Lord of the Storm", is a middle-aged man in his forties, but everyone knows that Gad II has been at the helm of the Council of Cardinals for nearly a hundred years.
As a deity of the gods, this level of longevity is not strange in the eyes of the believers, and there is nothing to fear, which is a very normal thing.
Hearing the congratulations of His Majesty the Pope, Alger did not move any thoughts, and followed the rest of the "Ocean Singers" to clench his right fist, hit his left chest, and shouted:
"The storm is above!"
For the next quarter of an hour, they listened quietly to the sermon of Gad II.
After completing this process, Alger received his assignment from a "surrogate" high deacon - to travel to the island of Sunia and ambush in the surrounding seas, looking for opportunities to attack the port, the supply fleet, and the merchant ships of Vrsack.

Inside the luxury villa of the Hall family in Beckland, Queens.
As soon as Audrey put on her blue cloak and was about to take her golden retriever Susie, maid Anne and others to the "Rune Charity Scholarship" on Persfield Street, she saw her father, Earl Hall, enter from outside the main entrance.
"Good morning, Dad, are you, didn't come home last night?" Audrey looked up and down a few times with a little confusion.
"Can you see that?" asked Count Hall, smiling as he stroked his pretty mustache.
Seeing that her father was in a good mood, Audrey's blue eyes turned slightly, and she said with a light smile:
"You have a strong smell of cigarette smoke on your coat, which means you haven't taken it off in a long time, and it's clothes for going out. ”
In addition to this, there are many details that can lead to the same conclusion, but Audrey deliberately did not mention it.
Earl Hall took off his coat and handed it to the valet, and said with a smile:
"Yes, you are very observant, and it seems that the busyness of the 'Charity Scholarship Fund' has greatly improved you.
"I was at the Prime Minister's residence last night, waiting for news. ”
Speaking of this, Earl Hall sighed before he said:
"The fronts of Wintershire and Makai have once again repelled the Fusaks' attack, and with the bitter cold onset, we finally have a respite. ”
Audrey blinked, appropriately expressing her surprise.
Count Hall suddenly smiled:
"I understand what you're wondering, the newspapers are just what we want the people to know.
"The situation on the defensive line of the Amanda Mountains and the major cities along the coast of the Sea is not as good as you think, and in the first round of raids, our fleet, our soldiers, suffered great losses. In order not to cause panic, we announced that each has its own winners and losers, and let the major shipyards and arsenals go crazy.
"During this period of time, the two lines of defense have almost been broken through several times, and many key areas have been lost and recaptured, repeatedly sawing and seesawing, and it is said that they have become human meat grinders.
"Fortunately, we have finally persevered, and this winter will be a turning point in this war. ”
Actually, I know...... The number of the dead, missing, and wounded may be disguised, but it also says a lot...... Moreover, a cold winter is not necessarily a good thing, and the "weather manlocks" of Fursack are very good at taking advantage of similar situations...... Audrey's heart was gloomy for a while, and she hurriedly controlled her emotions, and said with a smile:
"It's good, hopefully peace will be restored soon. ”
Count Hall was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"His Majesty the King intends to give a speech to the whole nation on Saturday to tell them that we will win.
"When the time comes, people will be organized in major cities and villages to come to the square, and the latest technology will be used for everyone to hear. ”
State-of-the-art ...... Let the people gather in the various squares to listen to the king's speech...... Audrey Huo Ran thought of Mr. "World's" reminder and decided to inform the other party about this matter.
............
Organize a large number of people to listen to the speech in the square...... This is the corresponding sacrifice, right? George III is about to perform the "Black Emperor" ceremony? Crane, who has learned the latest news from Miss "Justice", returns to the real world, and his expression has obviously become solemn.
He paced back and forth in the rental house without further delay, took out a pen and paper, and wrote quickly:
"I have collected the blood of the Extraordinary in twenty paths, only 'Assassin' and 'Criminal'.
"George III is going to give a speech to the vast majority of the population on Saturday this week, and you should know what that might mean.
"Also, I need a ceremony to talk to Mr. 'Men'. ”
After folding the letter and letting Renette Tinnicol send it out, Crane exhaled slowly, and uncontrollably swirled around his thoughts:
"The witch's blood shouldn't be a problem, and Triss is determined to sabotage George III's plans......
"The 'Mysterious Queen' can reveal some information about my way into the secret mausoleum...... Although her main purpose is to resurrect the Emperor and is reluctant to directly confront George III, if George III is allowed to succeed, the Emperor will most likely not return......
"The demon's blood is just waiting for the Silver City Chief to return...... The hunting team he led had been on for more than ten days and should be returning soon...... It's theoretically in time, no problem...... If that doesn't work, I'll try two backup options, one is to replace the blood with the breath of the whisperer, and the other is to summon the demons I have encountered from the hole in history and extract their blood......"
............
Beckland Bridge area, in a room that doesn't look special.
With shiny black hair, Triss took out a letter from the mirror.
When she opened it, her brows gradually furrowed, which was extremely cute.
"Is it finally coming...... Triss's expression changed a few times, as if hesitating, as if resisting, as if timid, as if confused.
Eventually, she smiled and whispered a little twisted:
"I have killed so many people and caused so many tragedies, even if I died this time, I would have earned back the principal a long time ago......"
After a few more seconds of silence, Triss pulled out a glass test tube from the dark pocket of her black dress.
It was not filled with her blood, but from another witch, formerly known as Sherman, and later the one who called herself Sheman.
As a qualified, veteran witch, Triss has the opportunity to take some of her blood as a basis for the curse when cultivating Sheman, which may not be useful most of the time, but it can effectively prevent accidents.
After Sherman's death, Triss didn't discard the tube, because witches still needed this material quite a lot, just like now.
............
Silver City, in a dwelling.
As soon as the lightning increased, Derrick rolled over, lit the fire, and quickly baked mushroom bread.
This bread is finer and sweeter than the original black flour grass, and he likes it so much that he looks forward to three meals every day like never before.
The only problem is that the yield of mushrooms that can be used to make bread is not too high.
Due to the number of monster corpses, each resident can only receive them once a week, which provides four or five meals.
- After thousands of years of hard work, the area around Silver City has become relatively safe, and there are fewer monsters.
Daerik heard that someone deliberately put himself in the dark in order to hunt monsters and cultivate mushrooms, hoping to become bait.
Then, he was eaten.
Getting those mushrooms gave everyone a certain amount of optimism...... That's not good...... Remembering the Chief's sentiment before he left, Derrick shook his head, picked up a jar he had picked up from the ruins of other city-states, and poured out the white milk.
Frankly, he didn't like it, but Miss Justice's description of milk helping humans grow taller and stronger moved him.
As a resident of Silver City, Darek knew that because he didn't choose the "giant" path, the possibility and magnitude of growing taller in the future would not be too great, but he also secretly hoped to reduce the gap between him and his friends, and milk gave him a glimpse of the light.
Grunt, grunt, Darik drank today's milk with a serious expression.
He was about to get the mushroom bread when he suddenly felt it and looked sideways out the window.
A man grew out of the shadows outside the door, and said through the air:
"Deric, the Chief asked me to give you this vial of blood. ”
Is the Chief back?Darerick stood up abruptly and said:
"Okay, thanks. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the shadow in the crack of the door come to life, and a metal vial was pushed out.
Derick was well aware that it contained the demonic blood that Mr. "World" wanted.
