After finally escaping from the danger of the Kuo Tao fish attack, and without alerting the priests and knights, these apprentices thought that the matter was over and they would not encounter other difficulties. Who knew that because the sailboat was seriously damaged,
The church sent people around to inspect the cabins.
At this time, the storm was much lighter, and it was easy to be discovered whether escaping or using magic. Lucien and the magic apprentices seemed to be in an extremely dangerous situation again. How could Annick and the others not be desperate and depressed?
Lucien, who was holding the "Ambera Staff", was somewhat accustomed to fate's tricks. He suppressed his nervousness, and his worry and fear did not dissipate his calmness. He gently patted Annick, Leylia and Heidi's faces.
He raised his shoulder and signaled them not to be afraid. He listened carefully to the conversation outside and thought of solutions rapidly in his mind.
Tom's voice was loud but flattering: "Pastor Cody, the sailor's cabin is dirty and smelly. How can you let a noble person like you come to inspect it? It's just to see the damage in the cabin, leave it to me and
That's enough, sailors, you just need to drink black tea and wait leisurely in the room, just like the bishop, the priest, and the others."
"Ahem, Boatswain Tom, I am just a trainee priest. Although I have reached a high level and am not far away from becoming a formal priest, according to the Canon, you still cannot directly call me a priest." The trainee priest named Cody said.
While declining, there was obvious joy in his tone. It was his lifelong dream to be called a pastor.
The "Holy Code" is the sacred doctrine of the church, and the "Canon" is the "law" of the church, stipulating matters that clergy and paladins should follow.
After Cody finished his humility, his attitude became more kind: "Bossun Tom, I am very grateful for your kindness, but when it comes to the repair of the magic circle, the inspection can only be left to me, the trainee priests, and the knights and attendants.
Your sailors have not received formal education and cannot tell whether a wooden board with a intact surface has damage to the magic circle. Therefore, I can only say sorry for your sincerity."
Tom's current identity on the surface is a dark knight who is loyal to Viscount Wright and devoutly believes in the God of Truth. However, because he is of dark blood, he cannot become a first mate like a formal knight. He can only become a captain and can only serve as a relatively low-status boatswain.
But no matter what, as a dark knight who is not wanted, Cody still has to maintain the most basic courtesy when facing him, and seeing that strong men of the knight level respect him so much, Cody feels better and better.
.
Hearing Cody's words, Tom didn't know how to answer for a moment. His sailors were indeed from poor backgrounds and had not received any education as knights or priests. It would be better to let them die if they were asked to check that the magic circle was intact. And the sailors
Although those hidden in the cabin can be inspected, they cannot be exposed.
"Loman, DeBoer... you check this way, Jacques, Sammy... you go over there." Seeing that Tom did not stop him, Cody began to enjoy the pleasure of giving orders. These high-level trainees who usually have the same status as him
Priests and high-level knight attendants must now follow their own arrangements.
After listening to Cody's arrangements, Tom was extremely anxious when he saw the trainee priests and knight attendants checking the cabins separately. Although Lucien, the cabin where the apprentices were hiding was in the corner, and it would take a lot of time to check them one by one.
, but there were still Cody, several trainee priests, and knights squires standing in the aisle, and there was no way to move them. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and all kinds of tragic consequences for his identity being exposed could not help but emerge crazily.
Just when Tom was about to stop waiting for "others" to stop him and take a risk, pretending to be a fish-man who had not yet escaped and kill someone, he suddenly felt someone touching his arm.
"What's the matter...Evan...you?!" Tom turned around and was shocked to find Lucien standing beside him majestically, but he was wearing a dirty sailor uniform and his face was painted with the oil paint that sailors like.
, with messy hair and his head hung low.
This frightened Tom so much that he almost shouted out. Fortunately, he was a formal knight and had strong body control. He closed his mouth tightly after uttering half a word.
Lucien said in a hoarse voice: "Boss, the cabin below is very badly damaged." As he spoke, he quietly wrote words on Tom's arm. He was from the Magic Council, so he shouldn't be illiterate, right?
Next to him, Cody heard the sound of Lucien approaching, turned his head and took a look twice, and saw that a strange sailor was reporting the situation to Tom, so he nodded slightly and waited for Tom to tell him.
With so many dirty and lowly sailors and coolies on the ship, how could one of his noble apprentice priests get to know them all? The same goes for the knights and attendants!
Tom quietly felt Lucien's fingers and found that it was a short word.
"Jacques?" He thought doubtfully, but he immediately saw Lucien pointing to the cabin over there, and suddenly he suddenly guessed Lucien's request. He glanced at the cabin where the apprentices were hiding, and lowered his head.
Voice: "Let him?"
Lucien nodded solemnly and waited for the opportunity calmly in the sailor's cabin. While patiently listening to their conversation, he suddenly heard Jacques's name, and the voice of the answer was the same as the one in the cargo main cabin before, so he thought
Found a way.
Then, Lucien neatly changed into the sailor uniform in the cabin, smeared oil paint on his face, opened the door openly and walked out.
The bet is that the trainee priests and knight squires will not care about the sailors they despise!
And the bosun who knows who the sailors are is from his own side.
A flattering smile appeared on Tom's thin and gloomy face: "Mr. Cody, the cabin below was where the main battle was just now. It was seriously damaged and leaked in many places. Why don't you send some people down to help check and repair it first, so that we can both
It will leave a good impression on the priest and prevent the big waves outside from sinking the sailboat." He hinted that several priests below were repairing the magic circle and the cabin.
"As for the cabins above, just leave four or five people to check them slowly. By the time the cabins below are repaired, this place will be over long ago."
Cody's expression became serious. Being diligent and helpful in front of the priest is an excellent way to leave a good impression. Although his advancement mainly relies on his piety to the God of Truth and his mastery of knowledge, if the priest is slightly tilted
With a little allocation of resources, or taking care of the location of the church, your promotion will be much faster.
"Captain Tom, please help the trainee priests and knight squires who are staying behind to check the cabins." Cody quickly made a decision and asked his companions who had a good relationship with him to go down together.
"Yes, Mr. Cody." Tom took the lead before he spoke, walked to Jacques, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jacques, according to Mr. Cody's instructions, I will take you to check the cabin over there first."
Jacques is a handsome and elegant young man with blond hair and blue eyes with a straight nose.
Seeing that Tom was taking the initiative to do things, and Jacques was usually very proud of his handsome appearance and talents in many aspects, Cody didn't say much and left behind five or six trainee priests and knights squire who didn't want him to stay long.
Rush to the lower cabin.
Since the repair of the magic circle is related to whether the sailboat will sink in the storm-prone ocean, although the few people left behind complained a little, they still checked carefully. One of them stood in the middle of the aisle to direct to prevent fish from slipping through the net.
When one person showed up, the others went to different cabins.
Jacques, Tom and Lucien walked to the cabin in the corner.
As Lucien walked, he lowered his right hand and secretly wrote a few words on the back of Tom's hand: "Left hand, make a fist, burst out the blood power."
Tom's eyes flickered for a moment, recalling Lucien's assassination of Brown, and guessed what he meant, that if he clenched his fist with his left hand, he would explode with blood power, covering up the fluctuations of his magic: "He is planning to charm humans again?
But now the storm is very small, the bishop is back on the ship, and the bloodline power is very ineffective at covering up the magic fluctuations, so there is a high possibility that he will be discovered!"
In his uneasy mood, the three of them walked to the corner cabin.
When Jacques saw the strange sailor open the door diligently, he nodded with satisfaction, and then stepped in.
The cabin was empty as Jacques expected. Just as he was about to check the wooden board near the window, a gentle and magnetic voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Mr. Jacques, if you fail to become an official knight in three years,
What should Miss Cherry do?"
Jacques turned his head in shock and looked at the bold sailor, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his right hand, ready to draw the sword to kill at any time: "What are you talking about?!"
"Tell me about you and Miss Cherry. Haha, how do I know? Mr. Jacques, you don't need to understand, but are you really sure that you will be able to activate the bloodline power in three years?" Lucien looked into his eyes, left hand
Slightly curved.
Jacques saw the sailor who had been lowering his head raise his head, his dark eyes were deep and quiet, and the paint on his face not only did not damage his handsomeness, but instead added a bit of strange and mysterious beauty to him.
After a pause for a few seconds, Jacques roared: "Who on earth are you?! You don't need to care whether I can activate my bloodline power in three years!" He didn't know why, but his voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people outside.
people.
The stimulation of bloodline power is the boundary between civilians and nobles, and is the beginning of extraordinary power. No matter how confident the knights and attendants are, they are not too sure when facing this difficulty. Many talented and talented guys have not been able to overcome it.
.
Lucien chuckled and said: "Yes, whether you can activate the bloodline power has nothing to do with me, but Miss Cherry is about to marry another noble. Aren't you heartbroken? Aren't you angry?"
Seeing Jacques' silence, Lucien continued: "And I have the ability to let you activate the power of blood!"
"Who are you? Why are you helping me?!" Jacques saw Tom guarding the door and immediately understood that the two of them were in the same group, but Lucien's words struck his heart like lightning, making him
Suppressed despair and pain mixed with hope emerged.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is whether I have the ability to help you inspire your bloodline power. As for why I help you, don't you think I am a good person?" Lucien said humorously, with a smile on his face.
There was no trace of smile in his eyes, and he was extremely calm, "As long as you wait and pretend you didn't see something."
Jacques narrowed his eyes and stared into Lucien's eyes: "Are you a magician?"
Apart from the holy water of the church, he has only heard of secret potions in big noble families that can help others stimulate their bloodline power. The magician is good at mixing potions, and hiding in this way is just the right thing to do mysteriously.
Chenghe's identity as a magician.
"As you can see, Mr. Jacques, and I am also a knight." Lucien stretched out his right hand in front of him and began to turn into moonlight. His left hand was ready to be clenched at any time. "You see, I have allowed myself to activate the power of my bloodline."
"After three years, if you fail to become a knight on your own, come to me with the magic contract we signed."
"We don't want to do anything bad. We just want to arrive at the Kingdom of Holm safely. This does not violate your knight's creed, Mr. Jacques. Moreover, it is also in line with the requirements of the church not to fight desperately with the magician without the ability. No.
Let you betray your beliefs."
"Mr. Jacques, do you want to watch Miss Cherry marry another noble, want to see her smile and act coquettishly in the arms of another man, and watch her continue the bloodline for other men?"
Jacques clenched his hands tightly, veins popped out, and Lucien's faint smile reflected in his pupils. He felt that the handsome magician with oil paint in front of him was like a devil from hell, a devil who seduces kind people into corruption! (Unfinished)
