The only good thing is that rescuing Katarina does not require facing the Lord of the Deep himself, who has dominated the world since time immemorial.
"He awakened as the stars returned to their places, but he still hadn't regained his strength and slept forever at the bottom of the sea. His family and servants wandered along the coast, catching the newly reborn servants..."
Katarina is most likely in a camp where the retinue, servants, and believers of the Lord of the Deep Sea are entrenched.
And Andrea already had the answer to her whereabouts, although it wasn't that clear.
Andrea, who was carrying the unconscious Catalina, sailed towards the ice-free port of Vina. Passing through a certain bay, some entities that made her uncomfortable followed quietly, but nothing happened until they reached the ice-free port.
I won’t follow you anymore.
The city hall took Catalina away for treatment, while Andrea was taken to the enthusiastic shipyard for renovation.
On the third day of her stay in the port, when eternal night enveloped the land, Andrea once again felt those uncomfortable beings approaching from the deep sea, and there was also a familiar aura of Catalina.
Andrea leaves the harbor to track them, but is discovered and begins a fight.
The final outcome was that Andrea failed to bring back Catalina and returned to Rodster Harbor before she sank.
Comparing the subsequent intelligence sent from the Vina Ice-Free Port, they successfully pieced together the truth: Catalina, whose sanity was polluted, was sent to the Vina Ice-Free Port. She was noticed and followed by the followers of the Lord of the Deep Sea, and sneaked into the Vina Ice-Free Port.
Take away the bewitched Katarina.
Catalina was not forcibly taken away...at least she was not resisting consciously at the time, because investigators found her footprints on the floor mixed with silt and seaweed.
Andrea still remembered the road, and Lu Li found the sea area on the map, the northern part of Allen Peninsula, where the railway that runs through the peninsula is.
There was nothing special about that sea area on the map. What caught Lu Li's attention was its adjacent inlet.
A small town called Innsmouth is located there.
Lu Li once passed there on a steam train, and the behavior of the local residents made people feel strange and uneasy.
He also commissioned Wiener Freeze Harbor to search for information about the town of Innsmouth.
The result is that since the old days, the last star of the Allen Peninsula, Himfast, has been annihilated, and the tentacles of this main continent extending to the southeast have disappeared.
Information about the town of Innsmouth is old and out of date.
The Town Hall can look for the survivors of Himfast who escaped to the ice-free port of Vina and ask for news about the town of Innsmouth, but it will take some time.
At the same time, they learned that Lu Li was going to the town of Innsmouth to look for Catalina, and they were eager to stop him.
But Lu Li didn't plan to wait any longer.
Although the Tentacle Cultists say that Katarina is not in danger, she will not become food or be sacrificed, but will only be instilled with twisted consciousness to become a believer of the Lord of the Deep.
But this is no different from dying.
And Lu Li had to find her before his sanity continued to decline.
In addition to Lu Li and his team, the Tentacle Cultists and their companions will also go, and all the twisted figure can do is allow them to leave.
The prophet is still in a sleep that lasts for eternity.
Boarding Andrea, who had a patch on the bottom of the boat, Lu Li and his party sailed into the dark mist and sailed towards the northern part of the Allen Peninsula.
…
Andrea sailed quietly on the cold sea.
In the captain's cabin, Lu Li opened another letter from the businessman Anthony.
Except for Bishop Jon, the other believers and tentacle believers were in the renovated cabin next door in the shipyard.
"Or...them?"
Ophelia watched Lu Li open the envelope.
"Um."
This is the third letter from the ice-free port of Wiener.
The first two letters were to prevent Lu Li from going to Innsmouth Town.
They didn't know what was there, but they knew why Lu Li went there.
Human beings are as fragile as foam in the cold winter before pagans, and the Exorcist is no exception.
The third letter changed and was signed by Mayor Matthäus.
"Said...what?"
This time I took longer to read the letter than before.
Lu Li did not answer immediately. After reading the entire content, he put away the letter and said, "Mayor Mateus found two Shadow Church believers. They were privately detained and interrogated by the trial court. The interrogation may reveal some bad information about me."
Bishop Jon's voice trembled and he lowered his head: "They are betrayers...only blood and souls can wash away them."
"It's not important."
The Shadow Church believes in the girl's shadow, and Lu Li is looking for the girl's shadow.
This basic connection prevents the relationship between Lu Li and the Shadow Church from being hidden for too long.
Vena Freeze Port is the city most hostile to weird humans, even Andrea has made many citizens complain.
Lu Li could vaguely sense that Mayor Mateus was worried from the content of the letter, but he did not draw any boundaries and separate the relationship. The mayor decided to solve the trouble Lu Li was about to face, even if it was a conspiracy.
After thinking for a while, Lu Li wrote a reply. He wrote down his relationship with the Shadow Church and what he could abandon to protect his reputation if necessary, and gave it to the businessman Anthony.
Lu Li needs the power of Weiner's Freezing Port, but it's not impossible to leave.
Moreover, Vina Freeze Harbor cannot represent all human cities and towns.
The letter was sent, but Mayor Mateus did not reply.
There were still three hours until he approached the town of Innsmouth, so Lu Li lay down to take a short rest.
The flickering light of the stove, the shaking, and the indescribable murmurs blended into mottled and disgusting colors.
The nightmare that was more energy-consuming than rest continued until I was awakened by Pusius's shaking and calling.
The clock on the table read four o'clock in the afternoon, and they still had an hour before they were close to their destination.
Brushing away the beads of sweat on his forehead, Lu Li looked at Pusius, who had surprise on his face: "What's wrong?"
"The night has passed!"
Lu Li, who was unconscious, looked out the window and saw only a strange gray fog covering the deck.
The light thief lurks back to the surface and returns the light.
Although the dangerous fog still lies ahead, the light will bring an innate sense of security.
Lu Li rolled up his shirt sleeves and washed his face with cold water to wash away the fatigue and fatigue caused by the nightmare.
Looking out the window again, there was only the sound of waves blowing through the captain's cabin with the cold wind, and the sea surface could not be seen. They seemed to be sailing in fog.
The strange fog shows no sign of fading.
But as they got closer to the sea outside the town of Innsmouth, the fog gradually thinned.
After asking about Weiner's Freezing Port, I got the news that the strange fog is still lingering there, as well as in other towns. It's not that the fog that shrouded the land has dispersed, but that this sea area has driven away... the strange fog.
The mist on the window soon became more obstructed than the fog, and Ophelia picked up a towel to wipe the window. As the hazy mist was wiped away, they saw the outline of the land in the distance in the dim evening.
There is also a dark, damp, old town that stretches along the bay and hills.
