The twisted figure of the Church of Twisted and Vine was also invited to Port Rodster, taking the shell of his sister Elena.
The dark, rune-covered ocean galleon docked at the dock. Because the materials were mostly dismantled from the remains of other ships, this brand new vessel looked as if it had been sailing for decades even though it had only been trialled in the bay a few times.
The sails were being raised, and the believers retreated to the ship. The leader of the fleeing sect stayed in front of Lu Li and the others, chanting in a low voice: "We are hurt by the fall of the Lord, and therefore face the outside world full of dangers, troubles, and beauty.
We will remember our friendship with you. If we find a new land that is pure and safe, we will come back to tell you."
The leader gave the Twisted Figure an ancient book that records the spells of their order. Although most of the spells are useless after the death of the gods, some general techniques and alchemy can still be used for reference.
What it gave to Lu Li was a religious artifact with residual power: it now only has the ability to sense approaching pagans. As the followers of the Shadow Church approached, it continued to emit a colorless, dense warning. The sensing distance was only 50 meters away and it would react accordingly.
As the scope continues to be reduced, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance.
The twisted figure's return gift was a batch of supplies, which were being loaded onto an ocean-going ship by members of the fleeing sect. Lu Li gave it a few eyeballs and told it how to use them.
"This is exactly what we need..."
The leader is happier than expected. The ocean is obviously not going to be smooth sailing and is full of dangers. If they encounter trouble, they can buy supplies from the merchants. If disaster strikes, they have time to escape into the merchant's other world.
This made Lu Li think that merchants might be able to do more than just trade.
I watched the leader board the ocean-going ship, raise the anchor and sail with a wave of his hand, and gradually sail out of the bay.
"What are you going to do next?" Elena's distorted figure walked up to Lu Li. When not showing her true form, she acted more like a human being.
He already knows the lamentable results of the Tentacle Cultists, as well as the lamentable resurrection of the ancient god.
"Wait." Lu Li said.
Waiting for the God of the Deep Sea to return to his throne, waiting for Annie to grow, and waiting for all friendly camps to become stronger.
"Want to join forces with me to clean up Belfast? Winter makes them lazy and conspicuous. We can take advantage of this."
"The Prophet allowed it?"
"Just my thoughts."
"...Not now." After thinking for a while, Lu Li still rejected it.
Now he can only wait.
…
"The Eternal Ancient Ones resisted the invasion and destroyed the strange lair of Ubu Victor State"
The next day, under the Annie tree.
Lu Li looked through today's Midnight City newspaper and saw the headlines related to the God of the Deep Sea.
"Giant Tree Observation" is the official newspaper of Giant Tree Academy, which means it is not a wrong name. The god of the deep sea who is looking for his body appears in the deserted land.
Ubu Victor State is in the northeastern part of the deserted land. It is almost the base camp of the weird nests. Countless weird nests that have been corrupted or destroyed by weirdness are located there. After the incident, the news was transmitted back to the ground through the old sewers, and the loss is not yet clear.
The next day, the newspaper published the news that the southeastern part of the deserted land was attacked, or was cleansed. This incident happened the day before yesterday's incident, but the place was relatively deserted and the news spread slowly.
On the third day, a lonely town of gods standing at the foot of the World's Back Mountains observed the passage of the ancient being. They obtained the oral account of the locals: "His huge holy body passed through the clouds, and the town gods speculated on the ancient beings passing by.
disturbed."
There was no news from the God of the Deep Sea in the next two days. Judging from the fact that he passed through the World Back Mountains, he may have headed to the other side of the mountains and entered an area that has not yet been explored by humans.
"He... is too ostentatious..." Ophelia is not optimistic about the fame of the God of the Deep Sea.
This is not a good thing.
It is obvious that the God of the Deep Sea is still in the state of looking for his body to regain strength, and the humans in the huddled towns have always had little information, which means that the news has already spread throughout the desolate land.
Those enemies of the God of the Deep, those who attempt to invade the world, will also know about the resurrection of the ancient ones.
His return is destined not to go smoothly.
Also in trouble was Mayor Mateus, whose letter of distress was sent by businessman Anthony the next day along with the breaking news.
…
The warehouse is located in the west of Weiner Port City, near the slums.
With pairs of eyes peering behind the frosty windows, the Inquisition Guards took over the place and expelled all irrelevant soldiers and managers.
"Block? Destroy? You can't do that!"
Assistant Valendo stared at the captain of the trial in shock and anger.
The mayor was wrong, they were all wrong. The trial court really did it.
No one paid attention to him. They wore badges like cold steel and carried out the orders of their superiors indifferently.
"Do you know what you are doing?!" Valendo pressed his chest against the captain and asked sternly: "Countless citizens need firewood, and you are killing them!"
Still no response, Valendo saw the warehouse door being locked, the soldiers being driven away, and walked out with a cold face.
"Where are you going?"
The captain, who remained silent, stopped him from leaving.
"Tell the mayor that the trial court is crazy." Valendo mocked.
"Watch your words, young man." The captain retorted calmly. "There is no need to go to the mayor, he is being searched by our knights."
After saying that, he signaled the knights to come over and search Valendo.
"It's you now."
…
"This is a coup!"
Mayor Mateus, with his veins showing, angrily accused the trial guards who were rummaging through the office.
They took away everything related to Lu Li, including the letters exchanged and the merchant's eyes. They placed Mateusz under house arrest again.
Dozens of minutes later, assistant Valendo returned. Mateus asked in disappointment: "So the warehouse has been blocked by those madmen?"
Valendo didn't answer. He bent over and picked at his throat, retching and spitting out an eyeball.
"After the last incident, I was worried that it would happen again, so I hid one secretly." He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and gasped. "Mr. Mayor, please contact the Exorcist... and tell him about the crimes of the trial!"
…
"We have to help Mr. Mayor." Pusius jumped up and down angrily.
Lu Li thought quietly.
Frankly speaking, he didn't have much dislike for the Trial House before this.
It is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong to maintain the civilization and purity of their own ethnic group. And they know what is right and wrong. For example, they have embassies and communications with the Vena Freezing Port, and the Inquisition Guards lend a helping hand to him when he is in danger.
But now they are going to extremes
Extremes are never a good thing.
His eyes fell on the Midnight City newspaper that had just been released, and Lu Li's black eyes suddenly shrank.
"Terror in Midnight City, Attack of the Ancients"
The God of the Deep Sea returned...and attacked Midnight City last night.
