Chapter 274 Something Doesn’t Seem Right

564

"I walked up the street and walked up several stairs, and finally found the weird little church. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary house, nothing special. It wasn't until I walked in that I found the difference.

"There is only one priest here. He is a gentle and introverted middle-aged man, wearing a simple white robe, with a light golden beard that almost covers the lower half of his face, and a pair of light-colored eyes as clear as a child.

"He called this place the temple of the Creator. Creatures of any race and believers of any god can enter."

"..."

"He said that in the early days of humankind, all kinds of crazy and bloodthirsty monsters dominated the sky, the earth and the ocean, and they were the source of later races such as dragons, giants, and elves.

"These monsters are showing off their desires and plundering everywhere. It seems that they will destroy the entire world in a short time. At this time, the Creator woke up, took back the specialness and power given to them, and gave it to humans.

“After that, He fell asleep again and left a prophecy:

"When madness, cruelty, greed, indulgence, indifference, and bloodlust flood the earth again, He will wake up and take back everything."

——On the airship, Klein was wearing a seat belt, covered with a blanket, leaning against the back of the chair, and fell asleep.

At this time, the night outside the window was dark, the lights on the earth were sparse, and the scenery seemed to be moving slowly but in fact it was sweeping back quickly. Everything seemed so safe and calm.

After an unknown amount of time, Klein suddenly woke up and moved his neck.

He had a brief dream about Russell's diary obtained during this Tarot session, about the small church that believed in the Creator, and the priest with a golden beard and clear eyes and the "Prophecy of the Creator" that he recited. ". The pictures he saw in Russell's diary were automatically imagined into bizarre pictures by his brain, which were projected into his subconscious and became a dream.

As a fortune teller who carries the "Origin Castle", the already experienced Klein can even dream of Leonard digging his own grave. Of course, it is impossible to think that this is just a simple dream... maybe it is some kind of hint?

"Do I care about those contents subconsciously? Well, it's possible..."

Klein yawned again as he thought about it. The airship was flying smoothly in the night sky. He unbuckled his seat belt and planned to go to the bathroom. The vague and symbolic images from his dream lingered in his mind. As the cold wind blew, his thinking gradually became clearer:

"I have become the favored one of the original Creator, right? I also know the 'Redemption Rose' and related secrets. From Russell's diary, I saw the church carrying the cross, which is suspected to be the 'Creator of Silver City, the Ancient Sun God' , naturally you will pay more attention to it.”

After quickly solving the problem and washing his hands, he just turned around and walked out of the bathroom. He glanced at the lounge opposite and saw the red gloves from the "Church of the Night" that he had seen before, sitting together and playing cards. time.

The door to the lounge was ajar, and most of the red gloves were "sleepless" people. However, there was a person sitting in a dimly lit area near the card table, wearing a dark robe, blue eye shadow and blush. At first glance, It looked like a ghost floating out from the morgue.

Ms. Daly...Klein undoubtedly knew the other person.

She did not join the card game and sat on the sofa to rest against the soft back of the chair. Dai Li closed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, put one hand on her leg and the other on the sofa, her expression was very quiet and peaceful.

He stood far away, not yet noticed by the Red Gloves.

Looking at Dai Li's hand on the sofa and the silver ring on her ring finger, Klein suddenly felt something in his heart and turned on his spiritual vision.

In an instant, he saw a vague figure sitting next to Dai Li, with a slightly higher hairline and deep eyes. The head of the lady with blue eyeshadow was resting on his shoulder. There was also a silver ring on the ring finger of his right hand.

One is real, the other is vague, the two hands are tightly held together, with the same quiet and beautiful smile on their faces.

Early Tuesday morning.

Klein had a good sleep. He didn't have any strange or suggestive dreams in the second half of the night, and he slept until dawn.

The airship is parked in the Bay of Desi, Port-Esquesson.

Klein carried his luggage and left the airship along the gangway, preparing to take the chartered passenger ship to the Southern Continent.

In order to accommodate Dwayne Dantès, who was kind and helpful, Calvin and others had ordered that the goods originally stored in Pulitzer Port be transported to a warehouse in Eskelson Port.

As for Daly Simone, Leonard Mitchell and other red gloves, they were the first to step off the airship, while Klein was ranked at the bottom and never met.

Entering the city, he was about to go directly to the port when an illusory layer of prayers suddenly sounded in his ears.

It sounds like a little "sun"... Klein covered his mouth and yawned. He found a hotel room on the street and stayed for a few hours. He walked four steps backwards in the room and entered the Source Castle.

Soon, he understood what the "sun" was praying for.

There was once a chief in Silver City who tried to be promoted to the "God of Death" path, but it seemed that he failed. The door to the mausoleum has never been opened since it was closed. Silver City thought that the chief was dead. After receiving the corresponding information conveyed through Derrick, the current chief Colin Iliad decided to open the chief's tomb for safety reasons, conduct an investigation, and solve possible problems. uncertain factors.

Colin already knew that two people in the Silver City had surrendered to other gods. One was Elder Lovia, who still believed in the Creator, and the other was Derrick Berg who was connected to "Amon".

Derrick's prayer was for this purpose. Colin wanted to try to contact this unknown god. He also took out the two "Insects of Time" he had previously obtained from Amon who had sneaked into the Silver City to see if he could get some. Tips or help.

Combined with what the True Creator said, Colin Iliad is currently suspicious of the "Amon" contacted by Derrick Berg. He suspects this unknown god who appeared earlier than the True Creator. This is the “salvation” in the Lord’s words.

"It seems that the 'chief' wants to take the opportunity to confirm..."

"When Frank's 'crops that can grow without light' are developed, we can officially support Silver City. It is also time to pass on the name of 'The Fool'. If he has always been considered to be Amon, I always feel that in the occult Something bad will happen."

Klein calmed down, looked at Derrick's resolute expression as he closed his eyes and prayed, and exhaled a long breath.

"Perform the ritual, say my name, and I will help."

"This is the agreement between the Creator and me."

"Intelligence shows that within two months after the Great Smog, that is, before March, the Death Church was still in contact with Ince Zangwill, and the latter also expressed his intention to join. But for some reason, since From a certain day after that, Ince Zangwill stopped replying to letters from the Death Church, and he seemed to have disappeared from the world."

"Requiem Master" Sost has arrived at the local Church of the Night and is sharing information with the team members during the break.

Leonard asked: "When was the last communication between them? Which party didn't reply?"

"Not sure, that's why we're here."

Sost said in a low voice: "0-08 will affect divination, and will also arrange people who know its existence. If the church had not confirmed that Ince Zangwill is still alive by other means, we would all think that He has died quietly in a corner."

He looked around and said:

"In this operation, we are going to sneak into Balam, capture the main contact person of Neins Zangwill of the Church of Death, and obtain the exact information. However, Balam is very dangerous now, and we must fully disguise ourselves and try our best to Keep a low profile."

"Yes!" the red gloves answered together.

…

Inside a warehouse in Port Esquesson.

"Dixi's pie uses more ingredients than Backlund's, but I like to add some local spices. It will feel a bit strange in the first few bites, but once you get used to it, it will have a unique flavor..." A mouthful of oily pie , a sip of cool and refreshing sweet ice tea, quite a beautiful combination.

Klein enjoyed a delicious lunch at Desi Bay, and after a nap, he arrived at the scheduled dock to inspect the goods in the warehouse.

The warehouse is not too big, half of it is occupied by the items given by the nobles to their family's juniors and children, but overall it is not much. According to the list, one person can only hold a quarter of a container.

"Please help me move them to the passenger ship."

Taking the paperwork given by Calvin, Klein easily mobilized some manpower and cranes in the dock, and loaded all the goods in more than two hours.

"Mr. Dantès, it's five o'clock in the afternoon. Let's set off now. If we only stop at one island for supplies on the way, we expect to arrive before Friday."

The captain of the ship came up. He was a tall middle-aged man who seemed to have the blood of Fusac.

The northern and southern continents are not harmonious, and maritime business is difficult to do. He knew that his employer was in a hurry, but he was still a little uneasy about the long voyage at night. However, if he did not accept this order, his family might not be able to eat in the next month, so he came boldly.

At the same time, he noticed that his employer was a middle-aged rich man who looked noble and experienced. It was hard to believe that he could accept at least two days and two nights of life on board the ship - you must know that his private passenger ship is for people with high incomes. Although the decoration is very good for the upper middle class, rather than the aristocracy or the rich, for the latter, it is just eye-catching at best.

"Sir, shall we leave now?"

Klein nodded slightly: "Yes."

Then he stepped forward to board the boat. At this moment, there was a sudden and heavy sound of footsteps on the dock, as if a strong man was running fast.

Dwayne Dantès turned his head and saw a fierce-looking man with a high nose, blue eyes, and a frown appearing on the dock.

The man clutched a dozen banknotes and a suitcase in his hand. He grabbed the captain of the docked ship at the port and asked loudly, but the captain he asked shook his head desperately. In the end, he grabbed the captain irritably. Head, noticed Dwayne Dantès.

The captain of the passenger ship quickly stepped forward and gestured behind him, asking the guest to get on board quickly.

Kick, kick, kick! The ground seemed to be trembling slightly. The tall man arrived in front of the captain in two or three steps and asked impatiently:

"Are you going to the Southern Continent?"

The captain hesitated and said, "Sorry, sir, my ship has been chartered."

Seeing that he did not refuse, the man frowned and glanced at the docked passenger ship filled with cargo, then looked directly at Dwayne Dantès, and his tone became even worse:

"How much did you pay? I'll pay double."

Five hundred pounds. This price shows that business at sea is really difficult... Klein was not dissatisfied with the other party's attitude. He smiled slightly and said: "Sir, maybe you can wait a little longer. "

He heard the tall man sneer unabashedly. He seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he just sneered twice and looked at Klein and Lun, who were dressed as Loen gentlemen, with extremely contemptuous eyes. captain.

Strangely enough, Klein felt that this man had a strange temperament, just like Hazel, who despised everything around him for some reason of his own... a powerful Beyonder? If he were a noble or a high-ranking official, he would not behave as impolitely and rudely as before, unless he was from Fusac.

"I don't know how much you gave me." The man turned to look at the captain, "Five thousand, take me to Behrens Port."

Behrens?

Klein was suddenly stunned—this person also wanted to go to Behrens?

Those noble children who have experienced the battle are basically in Behrens City and nearby central cities, and their goals are also there!

But he came back to his senses in the blink of an eye. He heard the captain rejecting this man with great difficulty. Klein's thoughts whirled and he took the initiative to speak:

"Sir, it seems we have the same goal."

"But I have to make sure you don't pose a threat to my life, if you are willing..."

Before he could finish his words, the blue-eyed man waved his hand impatiently and interrupted his speech: "Are you from Loen? You are a bit of a nagging person. If you want to ask, just ask directly. Don't beat around the bush! Let me ask you. , did you go to the Southern Continent to fight?"

As he spoke, the blue-eyed man glanced at the cargo piled on the passenger ship and looked at Klein with a very dangerous look.

Hunter, this is definitely a hunter!

From the way this man spoke, his expression, and his body movements, Klein was convinced that he was definitely a high-ranking hunter—could the hunters who traveled to the Southern Continent during this time be members of the Iron-Blooded Cross? He is going to the Southern Continent to participate in the war?

Doesn’t it mean that Behrens is very calm at the moment? The Dark Saint said that the Death Church and the Loen garrison are currently interested in peace talks. Why would high-ranking hunters go there?

Klein felt more and more that his luck was as confusing as Behrens' current situation: "It's not."

"If you don't participate in the war, you are not even qualified to be my target."

Blue eyes looked condescendingly at Dwayne Dantès: "Are you leaving?"

"Sorry, are you a believer in the God of War?" Klein couldn't help but say, "If you have enough financial resources, there is no need to put pressure on me, a small businessman. This does not mean anything to you."

"God of War?" Blue Eyes sneered again, as if he had been greatly insulted. "Their dull minds cannot even understand what war is. Do they deserve to call themselves followers of the God of War?"

"Then maybe we are not enemies, sir." These words allowed Klein to confirm his identity. In the blind spot of the captain's vision, Klein vaguely pointed a cross on his chest, then turned sideways and said, "Please."

The blue eyes looked at the penetrating gentleman in front of him with bewilderment. He nodded reluctantly, softened his expression, and strode onto the boat.

Klein followed closely behind, and the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A few minutes later, the passenger ship started slowly.

…

"Twain almost spent five thousand to buy a boat ticket? He still has the nerve to ask if he can be reimbursed?"

Traynor listened to this prayer in disbelief. After two seconds, his expression returned to normal and he replied: "Yes, of course. In the future, when you spend such a large amount of money, remember to call Medici for reimbursement. Do not call I."

"If you're not afraid of being shot down, you can fly over directly."

Then he hung up his prayers, picked up a half-read telegram, and frowned:

"I guessed it right?"

"Lunberg actually started to adjust some details because of my false information. Did they think that some of their actions were discovered by me?...The Church of Knowledge actually supported Mesanyes and fought well with the Church of Death. Relationship plan..."

"Although it has been a neutral country for ten thousand years, isn't Lundborg a bit too clumsy?"

The subordinate stood nearby and asked cautiously: "Sir, what is the next step?"

"Wouldn't it be better if Lundborg had this plan? If this piece of information is credible, the credibility of other false information will also increase."

"That's just right. Don't worry, just complete the false information before, and then get some real information." Traynor's eyes were still looking at the page of Lundberg's telegram in his hand, "Mesanyes' territory is far away from here. It's very close, so as long as Behrens goes to war and Lundborg doesn't come to support, it will be confirmed that it has colluded with the Southern Continent..."

"...If Prince Sunia dies in this battle, or returns home after being seriously injured, will Loen launch an attack on Lundburg? No, there are Fenebaud and Ma Xi between them. Ma Xi We are also a country that believes in the God of Knowledge. If Lundborg sides with the God of Death, Ma Xi will be attacked by Loen first."

"If Ma Xi is breached, Loen will be directly adjacent to Fenebaud!"

"If Fusak plans to go further from the Suniya Sea, will he sit back and ignore it?"

There are many benefits. The conspirator thought, then I can't let Lundborg come to support me.

It would be best to make it look like Lundborg is supporting the Balam Empire...

Medici: If you can bear this without fighting, are you still a hunter?

Traynor: I fucking started digesting the conspirators.
