Rolls subconsciously raised his voice, which was incredible to him. Philip had said before that he would arrange for Rolls to join an arms smuggling team with a military background. This team was heading to the Southern Continent, and Rolls
Sri Lanka will stay in Oravi during the journey.
But the one he was riding on turned out to be the Pulitzer? This was not only the world's first ironclad ship, there was at least one demigod from the "Arbiter" path sitting on it. This meant that Rawls had to spend hundreds of years with a demigod.
meters, living in a small space of twenty meters wide.
For demigods, especially those of the "Arbiter" path, this distance is almost the same as getting close to each other. What's more, the maximum speed of an ironclad ship is only sixteen knots, and it is only thirteen knots under normal conditions.
, it takes at least about a week to get from Pulitzer Harbor to Olave.
In such a long time and small space, even Rawls could not guarantee whether the demigod would discover the specialness in him.
Philip was not too surprised by Rawls's reaction, which was normal.
"The Pulitzer is ready for regular training. This time it is testing its long-distance voyage capability. It starts from Pulitzer Harbor, travels along the route to Tuscat Island, and then returns to Pulitzer Harbor from there."
Tuscat Island is the easternmost colony of the Loen Kingdom. There are no more routes to the east, and to the north is Gargas Island of the Fusac Empire.
Rawls pretended to be curious and asked:
"Are there any Beyonders on board the Pulitzer?"
"Of course there is. In addition to testing the long-distance voyage capability, this time it also has the meaning of demonstration, so that the Fusac Empire will no longer take the initiative to cause friction in a short time. In addition, the pirates may hold a pirate conference recently, and the navy also wants to try to
The actual combat capabilities of the Leeds."
As the heir to the Negan family, Philip actually knows more. In order to prevent the Pritzker from being attacked by pirates, two demigods will participate in this training, one from the military and one from the royal family. But these, for
For Rawls, an ordinary person does not need to know.
Philip looked at Rawls who looked worried and reassured:
"This time it is mainly to train long-distance navigation capabilities. The attack on pirates will only be along the route and will not actively look for pirate ships."
Rawls rubbed his eyebrows with a little bitterness:
"If I want to join that arms smuggling team, do they all have to take the Pulitzer?"
Philip was stunned for a moment and looked at Rawls with a strange look, but then he frowned and recalled what he said, and said quickly:
"No, they will take a frigate in the Pritzker fleet, and after arriving at the Rhoad Islands, they will head to the southern continent, while you will take a battleship in the Pritzker fleet to Oravi.
"
"Battleship?" Rawls looked up at Philip. Wasn't it the Pulitzer just now?
"I was a little emotional just now, so..." The corner of Philip's mouth twitched. Within the Navy, the USS Pulitzer and the USS Pulitzer Armored Fleet almost meant the same thing. But for Rawls, who was a lawyer, they meant exactly the same thing.
It’s different.
"Okay." Rawls shrugged, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Although he could get more information by taking the Pulitzer, it was also very dangerous. The existence of a demigod made him unable to do so.
Dare to do anything excessive.
"Why a battleship? Aren't you going to be with those people?"
"Although I put you on the roster of that team, you can't meet them." Pulitzer spread his hands, "I think you should understand."
Rawls nodded. Since Philip asked him to do this, he must have hidden it from Duke Negan. If he hadn't known that Duke Negan was the one who must be eliminated, he would definitely not have helped Philip.
Do this.
Philip pushed the document bag that had been placed on the table to Rawls, and took out a revolver from his pocket. It glowed with metal under the gas lamp. There was a vague inscription on the handle, but it could be distinguished that it was "
Pulitzer Armory".
Rawls looked at the relatively familiar revolver, his eyes twitched, and then he looked away, picked up the document bag, and poured out a document and a falling photo.
The document only has seven or eight pages, most of which are handwritten. The traces on it can also be seen that this document is quite old. But the latest record on it is two words. The two words that Rawls is most familiar with are
His name - Rawls Adrian.
"There are some things I can investigate on that document. They are a batch of repeating rifles that were shipped to Oravi three months ago. If you go to Oravi, you can start from this aspect. As for..."
Philip picked up the revolver and hesitated:
"This revolver came out of the Pulitzer Military Factory. It may be related to the Intis people. It may not be related to Auston, but you still need to investigate."
No need to investigate! I know where that revolver came from, and I can also tell you how it is related to the Intis people... Rawls looked up at the revolver, then looked down at the portion in his hand
File, this is Philip's investigation into the smuggling of Auston Leavitt and Olavi.
It can be seen that Phillip spent a lot of energy, but still nothing was found in the investigation.
After closing the document, Rawls rubbed his temples:
"Philip, even if I can investigate it, it will definitely take a long time."
"No, it won't be long. I stayed in Olawi for a year before I came back. Auston knew I was there and didn't do anything big. Now that I'm gone, he will definitely continue.
"
Phillip knocked on the table and said in a deep voice:
"This year, we will investigate until the end of this year."
Next year is the year of the election. If the investigation does not come out this year, next year, even if he has evidence, Duke Negan will not allow him to present it.
…
Alicia's figure was gradually outlined, her dark gray eyes scanned the documents on the table, and her plump lips moved slightly:
"You want to leave Backlund?"
"At the moment, yes!" Rawls threw the revolver that once belonged to him on the table. "Philip is the son of Duke Negan, and he is one of the guarantees that I can complete the ceremony."
As a "law mage", Alicia naturally knows what Rawls means. "Arbitrators" and "lawyers" must be connected to order after being demigods, otherwise it will be difficult to become angels.
"I'm going to Oravi on the Pulitz armored fleet. There is probably a Sequence 4 or even a Sequence 3 on the Pritz."
"I'll get to Oravi first."
Rawls nodded. Since he was not on the Pulitzer, the possibility of being noticed by the demigods was very low. But for the sake of safety, Alicia was naturally not suitable to follow him on the way, even if she was "uncertain"
The favored one of "Mist".
"Have you been with the girl who is suspected to be related to the Abraham family?" Rawls had a dull face, without any expression. Although Alicia was not an "audience", the "interrogator"'s observation was not that simple.
.
"Relevant?" Alicia's slender eyebrows wrinkled, "She is not a member of the Abraham family."
It seems that she and Forsi have a showdown. No wonder Forsi asked about the Tamara family... Rawls took out a dusty money bag from his pocket and took out a copy of Extraordinary Properties, a
A "diamond" the size of an eye.
"I killed a divine envoy of the Aurora Society in Tingen. He was once a disciple of a member of the Abraham family. Because of that curse, they were divided into small families and scattered all over the place. The Abraham family elders had little control over the family members.
dropped to the lowest level.
In order to avoid the curse, many members of the Abraham family are unwilling to be promoted, always staying at Sequence 8 or Sequence 9, or even not trying to become Extraordinary at all. Their elders think this is an act of forgetting the glory of the family, but there is no way to deal with it strictly.
, because that is tantamount to self-extinction.
Therefore, a trend of reform emerged among the upper echelons of the Abraham family, imitating the master-apprentice inheritance system of another secret organization, the School of Life. This plan went very smoothly. Under the careful training of the Abraham family, the "apprentices" continued to be promoted. Within ten years, among them
With sequence 5.
But in the end, they betrayed the Abraham family and were tempted by the evil god "True Creator" to join the Aurora Society. As a result, the Abraham family suffered a disaster and returned to its previous state. Even those who joined the Aurora Society could not be found.
There is no trace of them."
While describing the experiences of the Abrahamic family, Rawls observed Alicia:
"But judging from the book "Spirit Realm Insights", Forsi should have a certain relationship with the Abraham family. Haven't you asked her?"
Alicia nodded. After she knew that Forsi was not a member of the Abraham family, she also "asked" her why she had the Abraham family's things. Although from Forsi's narrative, she could guess that the Abraham family's belongings belonged to the Abraham family.
The situation was not very good, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.
"But judging from what that person said, the Abraham family should still have retained some strength, including some powerful sealed objects. Otherwise, they would have been destroyed long ago when the Aurora Society and the betrayers joined forces. It was just because of their own
Due to strength, those sealed objects cannot be used normally."
"How much do you know about that curse?" Alicia stared at Rawls with her dark gray eyes.
Rawls did not answer, but asked:
"I want to know what Tamara's family knows about that curse."
Although Bethel Abraham's full-moon rants were terrifying, not many people were actually affected. Either his bloodline descendants became extraordinary, or they had contact with things from the Abraham family.
According to Alicia, after the split between Tudor and Trunsoest, the Abraham family entered into a marriage alliance with the Tamara family. Therefore, although some members of the Tamara family had a surname of Tamara, their surname was Tamara.
They are also descendants of Bethel, and they should all be extraordinary people of the "Gateway", so they will naturally be cursed.
Although Alicia has told about the history of the Tamara family at the end of the Fourth Age, she has not described the clan members who inherited the bloodline of "Mr. Door", as if they are not members of the Tamara family.
In response to Rawls's rhetorical question, Alicia was silent for a while before speaking:
"We don't know much. We only know that it should be related to the ancestor of the Abraham family, Mr. Men. The curse appeared after he disappeared. Our ancestor Tamara once asked him if he could lift the curse, but he was
Rejected."
This "He" naturally refers to the "mist of uncertainty" of the Tamara family's faith.
"After the fall of the Tudor Empire, we escaped pursuit with the blessing of the ancestors of the Antigonus family, but the members of the Abraham family who were cursed by the full moon's whisper... and some members of the Tamara family chose to leave. After that,
After we chose to believe in Him again, we tried to find this tribe of people.
But they had already joined the Gnosis Society and chose to believe in the 'Original Witch'. Although they were no longer disturbed by the full moon's whispers at first, after entering the fifth era, the full moon's whispers once again enveloped them. Even if they worshiped the 'Original Witch'
Even praying cannot be avoided.”
Rawls pinched his eyebrows. The original witch was a true god, and the blessing from the true god could naturally make the full moon's whisper useless. But in the Pale Catastrophe, the God of Death fell and the original witch was severely damaged. It may be difficult to protect that tower anymore.
A member of the Mara tribe.
"But those people think that this is the original witch punishing them for being ungrateful, and they are still willing to become her followers. Even though more than a thousand years have passed, those people still haven't changed their minds."
There was ridicule and helplessness in Alicia's eyes. If the "Uncertain Mist" they believed in could solve the full moon's murmur, there would be no family split, and perhaps Tamara would be more likely to return to the Northern Continent.
big.
"Since in the beginning, those people could avoid the curse by believing in the 'Original Witch', perhaps choosing to believe in a true god will have the same effect."
Rawls can only say this, but the people of the Tamara family must have come to this conclusion long ago, but they just haven't found a suitable existence.
The "Uncertain Mist" must be an existence beyond the true gods, but I don't know why it refuses to protect these cursed Tamara people. Among the remaining gods, the Seven Gods are chasing them, and the true creator is sealed... For the cursed people
For these people, there is no god to choose from.
Therefore, only the "fool" has both the time and the ability to do this.
Alicia was silent for a while and disappeared into the study.
…
The next morning, Rawls, who was about to leave for his office, received an unexpected guest, his friend the famous surgeon Alan Kress.
It can only be seen that his current condition does not seem to be very good. Although there is no change in his clothes, the thick bags under his eyes still make his image not so good.
"Are you suffering from insomnia?" Rawls hugged him and pointed to his eyes. Although he knew that he had been unlucky recently, Rawls was still quite envious. There was an angel of the "destiny" path at home, which was comparable to the belief in
"The King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck" is much better.
