"Dear Mr. Fool, the battle between the pirates and the navy has broken out..."
"The Hanged Man"'s voice became clearer, and he compiled and reported the recent major events that he knew about in the Rhoad Islands, including events that Klein had personally experienced, such as MI9 teaming up with the navy to ambush "Steel"
Maiviti also has an investigation into Kavitua believers by the Church of Storms that he doesn’t understand.
However, compared to Klein, who has been in close contact with MI9 and the Navy since arriving in Bayam, and the information he obtained is inevitably more one-sided, the information provided by Alger, the "captain" of the Church of Storms, is much more comprehensive.
There are rumors about the "Nast King's Order" hidden among the pirates in Byam, and there are also the dissatisfaction of Yan Cotman and the "Punisher" against MI9's involvement in extraordinary events, etc., which can barely be regarded as black and white.
All information is complete.
"...A month or two ago, no, before Kavitua was severely damaged by the church, it could only hide and was unable to compete head-on with the cardinals stationed on the Rhoside Islands. With the efforts of the 'Punishers'
And with the assistance of the military, the local resistance and indigenous people who believed in it were suppressed and could only escape deep into the jungle, barely surviving when Intis and Fusac secretly helped..."
With the narration of "The Hanged Man", Crane realized that the weather in Roost was not the aftermath of the battle between "Sea King" Yann Coatman and Kavituva, nor was it the prelude to the navy's war against the pirates.
If this is the case, then Nast has already made preparations. In order to drag down the "Sea King" who is a great threat to the sea, he does not know what method he used to make Kavituwa, who could only survive, actually appear in front of him.
During the confrontation, Yan Coatman was suppressed, and pirate attacks forced the Loen Navy to leave the Rhoad Islands.
But when I was being eroded by Kavituva, I could clearly feel that this "Poseidon" was quite weak... Klein leaned back on his chair and recalled the state at that time:
"The foundation of the evil spirit's existence is quite fragile, and it seems that it will collapse at any time.
"Moreover, Kavitua and the ruins where it is located have the feeling of blending with the spiritual world, so the Hanged Man said that it hid well and was not surrounded by the Church of Storms..."
In order to suppress the "Sea King", Nast cooperated with Kavitua, but the latter now has a problem... The local indigenous people's belief in it is still in the primitive sacrificial stage, which proves that this sea snake is not very intelligent.
Not long after humans proposed cooperation, problems arose within themselves. It would definitely regard Nast as the culprit. It just couldn't find the "King of the Five Seas", so it wanted to destroy the Rhoside Islands...
This is good news to me. It proves that Nast's plan is not perfect. When Kavitua suddenly loses control, he can only start planning in advance, otherwise when "Sea King" is free, his
The plan failed.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is also part of his plan, but the possibility is very low... While listening to the report of "The Hanged Man", Klein secretly rejoiced, but as he listened, he felt that something was wrong.
After "The Hanged Man" reported the anomaly in Kavituwa, he changed the topic and said that he had reported the changes in Bansi Port to the Church of Storms. He then began to thank Mr. "World" and did not continue with the topic.
, and then turned to the Rhoad Islands' recent policy of blocking the port, only entering but not exiting.
"Dear Mr. Fool, I have received a mission from the Church of Storms to trace the traces of the resistance and the Bayam pirates. In order to ensure that no problems arise, the 'Punishers' will capture all unofficial extraordinary people hiding on the Rhoside Islands.
I'm worried that your victim will be involved..."
Alger didn't lie about this. This was an order just from the Church of the Waves.
It seems that Mr. "The Hanged Man" has deduced that "the world" is trapped in Bayam... It's just that I am Emilius Levitt now, and I have left Bayam... Klein's index finger knuckles rhythmically
He tapped the long bronze table to reveal a pen and parchment, scrawled something on it, and then leaned back on the chair with the note in hand.
…
"Great Mr. Fool, I need the help of Mr. The Hanged Man to investigate the reason why the resistance army is chasing Laticia and others from the Moss Ascetic Order..."
Seeing the boundless gray fog that suddenly appeared and disappeared in front of him and the figure of the "world" hidden in the lake, Alger slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He was somewhat adventurous this time.
Mr. "World" is Mr. "Fool"'s tinder. To a certain extent, testing him is equivalent to testing Pope Gad II of the Church of Storms. Fortunately, this adventure is fruitful. The war between the navy and the pirates has begun, involving
When it came to the pirate king and pirate general, Alger could only obtain abridged information from Bishop K2 due to his position, but Mr. "Emperor" would definitely be able to obtain the most detailed information.
In the Tarot Club, his sense of crisis is stronger than others, partly because of his own experience, and on the other hand because other members of the Tarot Club have their own advantages.
Miss "Justice" is from a noble family, and her huge wealth is enough for her not to worry in front of demigods; although "Sun" is simple, the special nature of "the land abandoned by gods" lies there; Miss "Magician" originally performed mediocrely
, but at the last Tarot meeting, it still showed its specialness, having connections with both the Abraham and Tamara families; behind Mr. "Moon" stood the vampire family, even if the degree of trust was not high, it was still better than him.
.
Because of Qilingos, he had to choose to continue to be the "captain" and could not go ashore to become a bishop and the captain of the "Punisher" team. Even though this trouble has been solved now, he no longer has the right to choose.
, it will be difficult to gain the recognition of the Church of Storms in the future.
But... Alger frowned slightly, how could this be related to the Moss Ascetic Order? "Admiral of the Stars" is also in the Rossed Sea area, is it related to her?
…
Bayam Naval Base.
The huge conference room was silent. The sun that appeared after "Aquaman" Yan Cotman changed the weather poured its light into the room through the wide windows, illuminating the conference room.
Except for the corner away from the door and near the window.
The place seemed to have turned into pure darkness, exuding a "degenerate" atmosphere.
This is just a psychological feeling, not a visual darkness.
Standing in the corner is the defected first mate of the "Black Emperor", Edward Laitor, the "fallen earl" who once bore the surname of Solomon.
His appearance is not similar to that of Nast. His black hair is not tied up and is hanging freely. He has a very thick beard around his mouth, which looks like it has not been taken care of for a long time. He is tall and dressed in ordinary clothes.
The black robe without any pattern, the black eyes are like polished black crystals that can absorb all light and are embedded in the eye sockets.
But if two people stand together, even if one is like an emperor and the other is like a beggar, any normal person can see that the two are very similar in temperament.
He stood in the corner, looking at the naval base outside the window, silent.
In the corner diagonally opposite him, the three Rawls stood there, looking at the scene reflected in the mirror embedded in the "door" position, and saw Edward Laitor staying in the corner.
This is the ability of the "Mystic Mage", "Space Hiding", which can divide a place into two places and hide part of them. You must pass through a specific "door" to enter.
Although there is no object in this corner originally, and there is no objective measurement mark, ordinary extraordinary people will not find that there is a missing space here, they will only feel that the distance between the wall and themselves seems to be a little closer, but upon closer inspection
Everything is normal again.
But for Edward, who has been promoted to demigod, he can discover hidden spaces through changes in the scale of the room, but he cannot enter or open them due to his ability.
However, the person who created this hidden space was not a "Mystic Mage", but the "Law Mage" Alicia who holds the "Free Walker". As a practitioner of order and the scroller of "Uncertain Mist",
She restored the scale rules in the room to "normal" so that Edward, the "fallen Earl", could not detect abnormalities.
"What is he thinking about right now?"
Rolls held his chin and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
It's just that Alicia and Elder Laikato didn't answer. The former never cared about this, and although the latter wanted to answer, he lacked specific understanding.
Rawls wasn't angry when he didn't get an answer. None of the three were "audiences," not to mention that he didn't need an answer himself.
"After being promoted to demigod, humanity and divinity will have to compete for the dominance of the body. The better humanity is maintained, the weaker the madness contained in the potion will corrode the spirit, and the higher the success rate of subsequent promotions, even if it shows
The spirit of incomplete mythical creature forms will not be greatly affected.
After reaching the angel level, the divinity in the body is further strengthened, which brings madness, so angels often need more anchors to stabilize their mental state. At this level, no matter how well the human nature is maintained, the devil cannot be avoided.
The madness contained in medicine.
There is a concept among the "Aurora Society" who believe in the true Creator. The Creator created this world. She is everywhere. She exists in the body of every living being. Therefore, everything has divinity, and divinity is rich enough to a certain extent.
To become an angel, even the seven righteous gods are only angels with more abundant divinity.
They believe that life is just a spiritual journey. When the spirit is strong enough and tenacious enough, it can find its own divinity and become one with more divinities.
Although this belittles the Seven Gods to a certain extent, there is no problem with the theory itself. If you want to become powerful, you must obtain divinity, and with it comes madness. Madness means being powerful to a certain extent.
.”
Although Rawls is the only being among the three who has not been promoted to demigod, Alicia and Elder Laigat may have heard of these theories, but they still maintained a listening attitude.
For them, the person speaking now is not Rawls Adrian, but the "mist of uncertainty" that they have believed in for thousands of years.
"But although divinity brings powerful power, it is poison to extraordinary people who have not become demigods. They will either lose control after being eroded by divinity, or become fanatical believers... Russell's second son was born with the sequence
The 'Star Warlock' of 5 was influenced by the 'God of Artisans' and believed in this god devoutly, so he lacked enough humanity.
She has received permission from the 'God of Craftsmen' and has become an angel and the 'knowledge mentor' of Sequence 2, but the will of this god is hidden in her body and controls everything about her."
Rawls's words obviously had nothing to do with Edward Laito. They seemed to come from where he thought and there was no logic behind them. However, for Alicia and Laigat, they had different feelings.
The Tamara clan has believed in the "Uncertain Mist" for thousands of years, and dozens of Rollers have appeared successively. Except for their ancestors, every Roller was promoted to Sequence 5 before the age of twenty, and to Sequence 5 before the age of twenty-five.
He is a Sequence 4 "Law Master" and dies before the age of thirty, without exception.
For more than a thousand years, they have been trying to find the answer, but in the end they can only boil it down to two answers. One is that they believe in an evil god, and the other is the price of not believing in this unknown god wholeheartedly.
But now, this question has been half answered.
Rollers like Alicia were affected by the divinity of the "Uncertain Mist", so they were promoted so quickly, but their premature exposure to divinity left them lacking enough humanity, and they could not make up for it later.
This is the reward Rawls gave to the Tamara family.
The example of Bonova shows that as long as she gets Rawls' permission, Alicia has the opportunity to be promoted to an angel. Even a controlled angel is enough for Tamara.
"Pa"
Rawls snapped his fingers and said directly, ignoring the thoughts of the two people beside him:
"Let's get started!"
After saying that, he took out the "Heart of Desire" from his space wallet, put it on his neck, and closed his eyes.
The expression on Alicia's face did not change because of Rawls' words. She took a step forward, stretched out her palms to press Edward Laito, her lips moved slightly, but she did not make any sound.
The "Mystic Mage" has the ability to "keep secrets" and can keep secrets and block induction. This is essentially the embodiment of the "Gate" pathway in terms of sealing authority.
Since secrets can be kept, secrets can also be shared, just as a seal can be strengthened or opened.
Edward Laito, who was still standing in the corner and did not notice the three people hiding diagonally across the corner, suddenly raised his head, his black eyes became dark, and the entire conference room seemed to have entered the dark night in an instant, and then returned to normal in the next second.
As the "Fallen Earl" of Sequence 4, he has faced both Nast from the same path and Grove Augustus from the adjacent path, but even now that he is almost in a deadlock, he has
Fear has never overwhelmed me like a tide like now.
In Bayam, at the naval base, there was actually someone who could deliver messages directly to his ears.
Does this mean that in the eyes of the other party, one can be easily removed?
