The Soul-eating Night swept across the entire Bilgewater Strait in an instant, and the Baru Islands instantly lit up with bright golden light. The totems built along the coast automatically built a barrier to resist the black fog.
The Baru people have always been the true guardians of this archipelago. They follow the way of Naga Kapoulos. This god who symbolizes life, growth and eternal movement has a pivotal position at any time. The current captain is even more important.
Most of them paid protection fees to Him, as if they were the masters of the sea.
In fact, although Bilgewater is a paradise for pirates, and many fugitives and bounty hunters have settled here, the rulers behind them have always been the Baru people. Their support can even influence the pirate king, and will also influence any
Young people who are qualified to succeed undergo the trial of Naga Kapoulos, and Miss Fortune Sarah is the one who is receiving the most attention right now.
Gangplank had Illaoi's support in the beginning, but when he lost power and was tricked by Miss Fortune, it was Illaoi who helped him regain his former confidence and style as the Pirate King after both men and ships were lost.
, and gave him hope of a comeback.
However, when she was in Pi City, Sarah learned the news in advance from Chai Anping that Gangplank was not dead. Therefore, she saw through many of Planck's secret preparations and launched a bloody suppression. Therefore, Planck's
The revenge operation has been postponed indefinitely.
If Chai Anping knew that one of his own whims led to this result, he would probably be able to laugh it off.
On the large island in the center of the Baru Islands, a burly woman stood on a high tower. She had a melon face, golden eyes, and tattoos like waves were painted on both sides of her eyes with dark ink, and the sea breeze was caressing her.
Her long brown hair, with slightly curly ends, looked like the tentacles of an octopus.
Her limbs are extremely thick, and her bare arms are also painted with wave ripples. She wears dark green plate armor, and a large gold chain hangs around her neck, symbolizing her respected status.
Illaoi!
The real Naga Kapoulos!
She looked solemnly at the approaching dark clouds on the horizon - it was still daytime!
Soul-Eating Night showed new characteristics, which made her realize that this Soul-Eating Night was unusual.
Beside her, the huge statue of the god "Shen Xi" emits a faint golden light. This is the weapon she uses to fight the undead, and it is also a tool used to test those with potential.
"Let the islanders evacuate in an orderly manner, and then let the snake callers communicate with the sacred beasts in the sea. Don't let any flaws appear in the defense line."
She calmly gave orders. The so-called holy beasts are actually sea beasts in the sea, most of which are snake-like creatures. Because the image of Naga Kapoulos has part of the snake shape, the "Snake Caller" has the same characteristics as sea beasts.
communication potential.
Very similar to the spirit walkers of the Freljord.
The three core teachings of Naga Kapoulos:
First, every soul is born a servant of the universe.
Second, all living desires are implanted by the universe.
Third, the universe surges forward because everything is pursuing its own desires.
Therefore, they regard all undead as a blatant provocation to the god Naga Kapoulos, because the immortals are outside the normal flow of the universe.
However, before Illaoi, no true person would leave the Baru Islands during the Night of Souls and set foot in the sinful and ugly city of Bilgewater. They would rather watch those ugly people die than help them.
them.
Illaoi broke the tradition and even believed that the souls here were also qualified to participate in the trial. This caused her to suffer a lot of doubts. However, as the most powerful and sage true being in hundreds of years, this kind of doubt was directly rejected.
She ignored it.
"Count the manpower and call the cubs in the sea to come with me to Bilgewater to help!"
Because of the unabated bloodshed at the Bilgewater Slaughterhouse all year round, no holy beast will approach or protect this dirty city. Only the cubs are reluctant to come close.
The people under his command were quite dissatisfied with this order, but it had been done many times before, so soon several ships left the Baru Islands and quickly moved towards Bilgewater.
The pirates of Bilgewater have no good way to deal with the undead. Apart from some enchanted bullets, or the smuggled and sold holy silver and holy water, mortals can only close the doors and windows tightly and light up the house in the face of the soul-eating night.
All the candles were lit, and then he hid himself in bed and prayed for God's blessing.
Of course, more and more sentinels of light are coming here now, and the holy stone weapons in their hands can also cause fatal damage to the undead.
However, when the Night of Soul Erosion arrives, any resistance will be of no avail to mortals. The overwhelming undead and the terrifying black mist are enough to engulf any sentinel of light!
The Baru people control the inscriptions that resist the black fog. They engrave them on the lamps. As long as they are within the range of the light, they can avoid the erosion of the black fog and the undead.
Therefore, Illaoi's assistance to Bilgewater is still very necessary.
The Soul Haunting Night that fell in broad daylight caused the entire Bilgewater to panic, because it meant that the following night would be extremely long!
When Illaoi arrived with his people, the entire Bilgewater Strait had been shrouded in black fog. The ships sailed into the harbor and it was almost impossible to see ahead. The kerosene lamps on several nearby ships emitted a faint light.
The soft bright yellow light drives away the chill all around.
"Seriously, this Soul Erosion Night... seems to be different." Next to Illaoi, a young teacher said: "There is an uneasy mood coming from the holy beasts."
"Don't panic, just protect the people."
There are many job titles in the Naga Kapoulos Cult, and each has a different division of labor.
Illaoi's eyes glowed golden, and her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the black fog and see the monsters flying in the air: "Leave the battle to me!"
The entire water city built on the sea was screaming one after another at this time, including the strange screams of ghosts and the terrified screams of civilians, and fierce battles were also breaking out.
Brutal pirates cannot sit still and wait for death, and some thoughtful guys even plan to take this opportunity to kill their opponents.
Then the musket burst into flames in the black mist, but at the same time it quickly attracted a large number of dead souls, followed closely by the screams of humans and the terrifying sounds of limbs being torn apart.
"Foolish and greedy."
Illaoi looked away, they had found the dock and docked.
The instructors in white robes quickly lit up the lights on the ship and took them off the ship. They established a safe area on the dock in a tacit agreement, "My lords, you can bring civilians here for protection."
The teacher, protected by the power of Naga Kapoulos, stepped into the black mist with weapons in hand and began to explore this unrecognizable dark city.
Illaoi tapped the gold chain on her chest with her fingers, listening to the echo from the chain, and after a moment she chose a direction to be interested in alone.
The huge golden statue was held on her shoulders, the golden light bloomed, and all the black mist could not get close to her body.
…
"Caitlin, why is it still so dark?"
"..."
The young woman with slender legs and a cold and charming temperament suddenly lost her expression: "You idiot! Get up quickly when you wake up!"
"Have I offended you again?" Wei muttered and got up: "Could it be that I talked in my sleep last night... Your menopause is a little early?"
Caitlin flipped up her hair, put on her hat, and then glared at her: "First of all, I'm not interested in what you talk in your sleep at night. Second, I haven't reached menopause yet!"
After kicking Vi's big butt, she cautiously looked out the window while describing the current situation in Bilgewater.
"The Soul Eclipse Night suddenly broke out. The people in Bilgewater did not observe the signs of this Soul Eclipse Night before, and it is still daytime! According to the investigation, the black fog of the Soul Eclipse Night cannot resist the sunlight at all. Every time the Soul Eclipse occurs,
The night of the soul fades at dawn, do you know what this means?"
"What?"
Wei looked carefree and indifferent.
"It means that this soul-eating night may not subside at all!" Caitlin looked serious: "We are very likely to be trapped here..."
"Is it dangerous?" Wei clenched her fists.
"It's very dangerous!" Caitlin seemed to have seen something and immediately pulled up the heavy curtains: "If the Haunting Night really doesn't subside, I'm afraid the entire Bilgewater will soon become a dead city."
Even if they are equipped with cutting-edge Hex protective equipment and the generated shield can block the attacks of the undead, after all, there will be a time when the energy is exhausted...
"Then why don't we break up and sell out quickly?"
Wei put on the portable Atlas gloves, which are smaller in size and of course less powerful.
"Unfortunately, according to past records, it takes the oldest sailors to break out of the black fog at sea. Otherwise, they will basically have a narrow escape. In terms of survival rate, it is better to stay on the island and wait for the soul-eating night to recede.
.”
This is also a rule that Bilgewater has summarized over hundreds of years...
"Next, we need to go find Miss Fortune and ask her about her plans before making a decision." Caitlin turned back and started sorting out the equipment on the table.
She and Vi were currently staying in an inn in the upper area of Bilgewater, which was considered a relatively safe area. However, if they wanted to find Miss Fortune, they would have to go down through a large area of chaos, and they would still be in the dark.
Under foggy conditions.
Caitlin's decision is not without risks, but in this environment, if they don't hug the thickest thighs, I'm afraid they will have to wait here to die.
There was a sudden commotion on the first floor of the hotel, the kerosene lamp on the wall suddenly flickered on and off, and the temperature of the entire room dropped rapidly!
Caitlin and Wei looked at each other in understanding.
"Let's go!" Wei whispered.
Caitlin quickly put on her equipment, and then Vi broke through the window and rushed out.
The glass fell to the ground and made a crisp sound. Wei stepped on the broken pieces with her leather boots. She looked back at the hotel door and saw that the closed door was open and several withered corpses were lying in the lobby.
She couldn't help but shudder, because the death conditions of these corpses were quite horrific!
Then she got out of the way and leaned against the corner. Soon Caitlin also floated down. It was obvious that the acceleration of gravity was the same, and the posture of the female police chief was obviously much lighter than that of her idiot assistant.
Shivering!
The two long legs touched the ground one after another like a cat. Caitlin glared at Wei dissatisfied and warned her not to continue to make such a big fuss.
"Hehe." Wei smiled sarcastically.
"Go quickly, it's not safe anywhere now!"
Caitlin also glanced at the door of the hotel, raised her brows, and pursed her lips slightly: "The police...can't control this, right?!"
"That's not true!"
The two of them ran away from the corner, diving wherever the black fog became thinner, and running wherever there were no screams. They also encountered a few people who were panicking and choosing their own way, but in such low visibility, Caitlin always ignored everything.
The movement was regarded as a ghost causing trouble, and it would be considered kind if he didn't fire two shots.
Anyway, you can’t find any good people in this place!
"Caitlin, the fog is getting thicker!"
Thick fog shrouded the surroundings, and soon people almost lost all sense of direction. Even Caitlin gradually frowned.
She had already memorized the main passages nearby, but in this environment, people's senses began to fail, and memory alone was useless.
"Also...did you hear any strange noises? It seemed like...the sound of horse hooves?"
