Chapter 611 How to find prey (please vote for me at the beginning of the month)
The sound of "dong dong dong" only rang three times before it turned into a loud bang.
As the wooden door flew back, the light of the kerosene wall lamp in the corridor shone into the darkness overgrown with weeds, and red flames surged in.
In Lugano's eyes, the illusive and huge oak tree suddenly disappeared, and Father Monserrate, who was holding an invisible baby in his arms, also disappeared.
Under the erosion of flames and light, the weeds faded, the darkness subsided, and Lugano "returned" to the simple prayer room illuminated by the crimson moonlight.
Lumian, wearing a golden straw hat, appeared at the door that no longer had a door. His eyes scanned every corner inside, but there was no trace of Father Monserrate.
"Extraordinary abilities similar to the 'Other World', without being independent of reality, incorporate some other characteristics... It's a bit like the 'Devil Wizard' Boorman forcibly changing paths to obtain special abilities... Now he's hiding
Where? According to the knowledge Ludwig gained from food, extraordinary people of the Divine Advent School can hide in wooden products to hide themselves. Although it is not sure whether Father Monserrate was bewitched by the Divine Advent School and then degenerated.
Yes, but he is obviously influenced by the 'Great Mother'..." Lumian quickly assessed the current situation.
Lumian was not surprised at all that Father Monserrate escaped and hid without making any resistance or fighting:
He performed the wave magic in the boat bar just for fun and did not want to waste the time-limited "Governor of the Sea" authority, but the subsequent use of huge waves to "greet" Captain Pedro and Father Monserrate was not just for fun.
Show off and enjoy others' shock and amazement.
Under the premise that he was not sure whether the incident of the Divine Advent School was over, and he was not sure whether there were any followers of the "Great Mother" hidden on the ship, he deliberately displayed the power of the "Governor of the Sea" at the demigod level in order to intimidate!
There are no other believers of the "Great Mother" and no other dangers lurking, so just treat the act of "saying hello" as showing off. If there are, let the dangerous elements worry about the existence of demigods and hide deeper without making any attempts until they wait.
The ship arrived at the next port and was handled by the official forces of the "Earth Mother Goddess" Church.
Now, Father Monserrate obviously does not dare to fight head-on with Louis Berry, the great adventurer who possesses the power of a demigod, and chooses to hide directly, waiting for the ship to dock!
——If Lugano had not been unlucky or very good, and bumped into the invisible baby in the arms of the priest on the spot, Monserrate would probably have continued to play the role of a competent "Earth Mother Goddess" church clergy, and would not have caused big trouble to Louis.
.berry.
"Father, Father Monserrate is a believer in the 'Great Mother'! He just held an invisible baby!" After confirming that he had returned to reality and returned to the prayer room, with his employer right in front of him, Lugano hurriedly said
Tell us the specific situation.
Holding the invisible baby...probably hiding in some wooden product...Lumian's eyes swept over the chairs in the prayer room, the floor and the Holy Symbol of Life engraved on the wooden surface of the wall.
Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and he walked towards the holy emblem representing the "Earth Mother Goddess".
On the edge of the holy symbol are symbols such as wheat ears, flowers, and springs, and at the core is a simple baby.
baby!
The red flames continued to spread inward as Lumian moved forward, igniting the wooden floor and the chairs.
Lumian stopped in front of the Holy Emblem of Life, stretched out his right hand, and gently touched the face of the simple baby.
The wood there suddenly rotted and discharged yellow pus.
It looks like the baby surrounded by wheat ears, flowers, etc. has long since rotted and shed tears of blood.
The church of "Mother Goddess of the Earth" has a big problem... Lumian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he did not find the hidden Father Monserrate, he discovered that there was decay and darkness hidden under the bright surface of the Church of the Mother Earth.
Seeing that all the wood products here were burned out, Father Monserrate was nowhere to be seen, and there were more wood products on this steel steam ship, Lumian turned around and said to Lugano:
"Take me to the captain's cabin."
"Okay." Lugano clearly felt relieved.
As the two people left the prayer room, the red flame inside quickly extinguished and stopped spreading.
In the captain's room, Pedro, who had a handsome brown beard, suddenly had a headache when he saw the great adventurer Louis Berry coming to him in person.
Being fairly experienced, he clearly guessed that there might be big trouble on the ship:
In the incident involving the Divine Advent School, the great adventurer Louis Berry didn't even stay at the scene. He just sent a servant to state the situation, and now, he came to visit in person!
What does this mean?
It means there is a more serious problem!
"Father Monserrate has fallen and believed in evil gods." Before the captain could ask questions, Lumian said in a calm voice, "He is probably an accomplice of the evil wizard of the 'School of Divine Adventism'."
Captain Pedro's mind seemed to have been hit with a stick, buzzing and going blank for a moment.
After a few seconds, he asked carefully:
"Have you killed him?"
"Not yet." Lumian said truthfully, "He escaped from the prayer room and hid. You immediately send a telegram and report this matter to the Earth Mother Church and the Fenebote government, my servant.
Will tell you more details."
Faced with Louis Berry's commanding request, Captain Pedro showed no resistance and turned his attention to Lugano, listening to his conversion story and Father Monserrate's own statement and the invisible baby in his arms.
After listening, Pedro said with a bitter look on his face:
"I thought there was something wrong with Father Monserrate, but I didn't expect it to be such a serious problem."
"What's the problem?" Lumian asked.
Pedro sighed and said:
"He is a blessed person, that is, an extraordinary person of the 'earth' path, the most orthodox clergy. Under normal circumstances, he must be assisted by a favored person of God before he can say Mass, preach to believers, and lead others to join the church. In turn,
Otherwise, there is no need, but this time on board the ship, he is the only one who has been favored by God, and no one who has been favored by God is following him.
"I thought it was the sea prayer ceremony that caused the church to be short of manpower in Santa Port, so I didn't pay attention. Who knew that Father Monserrate actually fell..."
You must have the assistance of a favored person before you can say Mass and preach to the believers... This time there is no favored person to follow... I have heard before that the order issued by the favored person of the "Mother Goddess of the Earth" church and the decision made must be made by at least one person.
The countersignature of a person favored by God is considered valid, otherwise it will be regarded as the product of the evil god and the devil... The evil god... the "great mother"? This... Combining the events of the past few days and the knowledge he had previously mastered, Lu
Mian Huoran wanted to understand why the Church of the "Mother Goddess of the Earth" had two major systems: the Divine Benefactor and the Divine Favorite, instead of merging them together:
The "Magician" lady on the "Apprentice" path said that she was sometimes influenced by the Heavenly Lord and was not sure whether what she received was the revelation from Mr. "The Fool".
Just like the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" who stands at the top of the three paths of "apprentice", "divineer" and "thief", the "great mother" should also look down on the paths of "cultivator", "medicine" and "villain"
existence.
Therefore, the Extraordinaries of the two paths of "cultivator" and "medicine", as divine benefactors, will also be affected by the "Great Mother", and it is unclear whether the revelation they receive comes from the "Earth Mother Goddess" or the "Great Mother"
, it must be confirmed by the favored ones who are not in these two channels. At the same time, the favored ones are also monitoring the status of the favored ones!
So that's it... Sure enough, there are very deep and serious reasons behind this seemingly absurd, wasteful, and unreasonable system design... Lumian said no more and said to Captain Pedro:
"Send a telegram."
After the captain reported Father Monserrate's situation to the Feneport government and the Church of the Mother Earth, Lumian thought about how to find Father Monserrate.
Unless the other party has the ability to "teleport" or is good at underwater activities, there will be no way to escape from the ship on this vast sea and can only hide in a corner.
Lumian was not going to ask the Major Arcana cards for help with such a trivial matter, and was going to find a solution on his own:
"Use the ship's loudspeaker to insult the 'Great Mother' and provoke Father Monserrate to jump out on his own?
"When the target cannot be locked, it is difficult to use the 'provocation' ability in a targeted manner, and the effect may not be good...
"Burn all the wood products on the ship? This is the last option. After all, many cargo boxes are made of wood...
"Ask Franka to borrow a bottle of 'prophecy potion'? This requires fresh corpses, and since I've already asked Franka, I can just ask her to 'divide the magic mirror'..."
"Blow the 'Hateful Movement' bone flute and have the passengers plug their ears in advance? But this only reduces the damage, not eliminates the impact...
"Well, ask Ludwig if he remembers Father Monserrat's breath...
"Also...yes, you can try this too!"
Lumian quickly came up with several plans and decided to try them one by one, and finally asked for help.
He bid farewell to the captain, took Lugano, and took advantage of the thick darkness to return to the first-class suite.
"Do you remember the breath of Father Monserrate?" Lumian asked Ludwig.
Ludwig shook his head:
"There was no direct contact."
"Okay." Lumian turned around, smiled and said to Lugano, "I want to do an experiment, please cooperate."
"What experiment?" Lugano was suddenly frightened.
Lumian pointed out the window:
"Go to the deck, it's more open there."
Lugano anxiously went down to the deck shrouded in crimson moonlight, and saw his employer pulling out a silver-white full-body armor from the "traveler's bag", and then gave him an unknown smile.
Lumian remembered that the instructions for "Arrogance Armor" included a special hatred for items of the "Earth" and "Night" pathways.
What if it’s not an item, but the corresponding Beyonder?
How will it react?
Will it rely on this hatred to directly target Father Monserrate, who is at least a "physician" within a certain distance?
Lumian was not sure about this, and planned to experiment with Lugano, who was also an Extraordinary of the "Earth" path.
