Klein was sitting on the ship that was about to set sail, packing the luggage he had brought with him expressionlessly. Next to him sat Leonard, who was wearing black clothes.
After the Church of the Goddess of the Night gave Klein a mission to go to the sea, Leonard also joined the mission as a member of the mission and followed Klein to join the pursuit of the hidden existence of the "Mysterious Queen" and the fleeing Ince. .Zangwill’s team.
Nominally speaking, Klein, who represents the Church of Night, is the general person in charge sent by the church to assist the Church of Storms. Unfortunately, due to the severe manpower shortage of the Church of Night after the Backlund Catastrophe, the Church did not have enough manpower to assist Klein in driving a complete sea ship.
Therefore, before officially recruiting enough trustworthy manpower, Klein could only live on the privateer ship of the Church of Storms. Of course, the identity he uses is no longer the previous Sherlock Moriarty, but the captain of the ship who has not yet obtained the title of "Gehrman Sparrow".
In the tacit understanding between the Church of Night and the Church of Storms, Klein's actions have not been hindered, and he still has a lot of say in it.
Of course, these privileges will end when Klein finds enough manpower - or enough spiritual beings to be able to pilot the entire ship.
I can't recruit too many people, so an Extraordinary from the "God of Death" or "Alien" path would be very good. Perhaps, some objects that incorporate extraordinary properties can replace some necessary shipboard employees... Well, maybe I can imitate some "ghost ships" to build a sea-going ship of my own...
While Klein was rubbing his hand, he was stroking the magical item formed from the extraordinary characteristics of the "navigator" that the Church of the Night had previously given him to use. This was a "navigation compass."
With this item, even if Klein is not very proficient in navigation knowledge, he will not lose his direction on the violent sea. And for Klein, who had herded Mr.
In this way, I don’t have to worry about whether I will get lost at sea. I can return to the preset location at any time. Of course, the distance cannot be too far. I need to set a coordinate after a period of sailing... …
Klein was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Leonard, who had a strange expression next to him:
"What's wrong, Leonard?"
"...I still feel a little, um, a little strange." Leonard said to Klein next to him with a strange expression on his face: "I thought, for a long time, I really thought you were dead. ”
"Ah..." Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Klein's face, although his face was now thin and full of murderous intent. But under the background of this smile, he still looks a lot kinder.
"Actually, I also felt that I was dead at that time." There was a hint of memory on Klein's face: "At that time, after I recited the name of the true Creator, I felt the pollution in it corroding me in all directions. "
"You were really contaminated by the True Creator. I thought..."
Leonard paused for a moment, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "I thought you managed to survive by using the magical items behind Chanis Gate to avoid contamination."
"That's not true." Klein thought of this and his tone became slightly calmer: "In the end, the Aurora Society saved me, which I didn't expect."
"Aurora Society?" Leonard's voice couldn't help but become louder, but after remembering that he was still on the ship of the Church of Storms, Leonard quickly lowered his voice. Fortunately, the grumpy old pigeons outside didn't hear it, otherwise they would be in trouble again.
He lowered his voice, looked at Klein in front of him and said:
"I remember that you should have just become an Beyonder at that time. How could you have anything to do with Aurora?"
Leonard could never figure out how Klein, who had just become an Extraordinary at that time, got involved with the Aurora Society.
A strange expression suddenly appeared on Klein's face. He considered for a moment how he should explain to Leonard. After a while, he opened his mouth and said:
"I have a friend……"
Leonard looked at Klein and listened to Klein's explanation of the previous situation. While listening to what Klein said, he nodded slightly. His head would turn slightly to the side from time to time, as if he heard something. .
The sea breeze blew through the window, and the sun shone on the ground, illuminating the two figures. The ship carried the two people sailing slowly towards their destination.
In the direction that the ship was chasing, a fierce chase was breaking out on the sea around the Rhoside Islands in the distance.
Groups of psychedelic colorful starlight flowed on the surface of the sea, and there was a deep darkness hidden under the surface of the sea.
Such a dark seabed looks deep and scary. The sea at this time is like a mirror, reflecting the starlight in the sky.
Bernadette Gustave stood on top of her flagship "Dawn", her eyes full of seriousness.
"What is this..." Even with Bernadette's experience, she couldn't tell what the starlight was that was chasing them behind them. Bernadette has not yet reached the angel level of Sequence 2 and cannot know the knowledge about the old days. She only vaguely guessed that this weird thing may be related to the thing that caused the death of her father Russell.
The starry mist caused friction with Bernadette's fleet for a long time, and then disappeared again. Even after the fog disappeared, Bernadette was still tense and ordered her crew to quickly drive the Dawn out of this sea area and immediately move to other places.
So many things have happened during this period of time. First, the whispers of the Hidden Sage are not as scary as before, then Backlund suffered a terrible disaster, and now there is an unknown and strange person chasing him and his family. fleet.
And as a Sequence Three of the "Hermit" path, Bernadette even felt some strange changes in her path in the past period of time.
According to Bernadette's experience, this can only prove one thing, that is, there is a new true god at the top of this path.
Has the Hidden Sage become a god, or has someone defeated him and ascended to the throne of the "Hermit"... Bernadette couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart. She looked at the strange fog that she had thrown away and the vastness in the distance. The sea, I don’t know what I am thinking.
…………
As the whistle blew, Klein and Leonard beside him walked down from the boat. This is Damir Island, not far from the Kingdom of Loen, and further to the right is an archipelago in the Raging Sea that is rich in pirates and natives of the Southern Continent.
The climate here is very different from that of Loen... Looking at the surrounding environment and pedestrians that were obviously different from those of Loen Kingdom, Leonard couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Klein turned around and looked at the Church of Storms members who escorted him here, and nodded slightly:
"Thank you for sending us here."
"The storm is above." This member of the Church of the Storm maintained relative restraint when facing outsiders, and did not reveal his nature as a grumpy old pigeon.
"Although we have different beliefs, our churches have the same goal. If you find the manpower you need, you can use the contacts left here by the Church of Storms to purchase the ships you need. We have just been summoned by the higher-ups to go to the church. Gather and discuss the follow-up battle plan."
"Okay." Klein nodded lightly. What this member of the Church of Storms said made it very clear. The Church of Storms may be able to give the Church of Night some help in this matter, but they can only do so much.
Watching the grumpy old pigeon from the Church of Storms leave in front of him, Leonard couldn't help but turn his head and look at Klein beside him, with a little confusion written in his green eyes:
"Klein, what should we do next?"
He didn't know what to do for a while.
"Find someone."
Klein adjusted his language to make his "personality" slightly different from before. His expression became even more grim, he looked at Leonard beside him and said to him:
"We need a ship and enough sailors. Maybe we can find some familiar Beyonders, which can reduce the number of people needed on the ship."
"Then where should we look for it?" Leonard scratched his head and couldn't help asking Klein. Klein was silent for a moment. As Leonard's temporary external brain, he calmly said to Leonard:
"Do you have any familiar connections here?"
"Well..." Leonard turned away with a slight guilt and said no more: "I'll go to a tavern or some other place to take a look, and I should be able to find some reliable Beyonders..."
Leonard naturally has a way to find reliable extraordinary people, and the Pales Zoroastrian in his mind is not a freeloader. Pales recovered somewhat, but after hearing Leonard's thoughts, he couldn't help but curse secretly in his mind.
Leonard couldn't help but smile on his face after hearing the old man's voice, and this strange look also made Klein feel inexplicable.
"I'm going to contact the Aurora Society to see if there are any sailors who are still here." Klein pressed the brim of his hat, with a look of helplessness on his face:
"In your case, you can go to the tavern and have a look. If there are any extraordinary people, you can identify whether they have any malicious intentions, and you will use divination to determine it."
"good."
Leonard nodded slightly. Due to what the Aurora Society had done before, he was more accepting of the non-malicious Extraordinaries he found than the Extraordinaries of the Aurora Society. With Palles here, he can directly "steal" the ideas in their minds.
Leonard watched Klein leave and straightened his clothes to make himself look more like an experienced sailor. He selected the taverns where extraordinary people might gather - with the help of the old man who was once a "puzzle solver", Leonard easily found a few.
He took a deep breath and pushed the door open. What immediately reached his ears was the noisy sound and the unique messy atmosphere in the tavern. Leonard carefully identified the Beyonders who might appear next to him. Suddenly he felt a twisted malice. He turned to look to the side and found a man standing in the corner playing cards with someone.
Leonard couldn't help but nervously asked Pales Zoroaster in his mind:
"That seems to be..."
"The 'living corpse' of the 'alien' path, he was seriously injured." Pales laughed in Leonard's mind: "Looking at the injuries, he should be a member of the Temperance Sect of the Rose School of Thought. He may have been Members of the Indulgence Faction are chasing him.”
"Temperance faction? So, he should be a good person?" Leonard asked with some uncertainty in his heart: "Old man, do you sense the malice towards us in him?"
"No, but I don't mind if you let him be your sailor." Pales said to the possessed Leonard in a rather low voice: "He may not have any ill intentions towards you, after all, he is a mutant who believes in moderation. But, haha, if you take him on board, you should also be hunted by the Rose School of Thought."
"We don't have any other crew members to recruit here..." Leonard couldn't help but murmur to himself. Just now, through Paris's extraordinary ability, he felt that most of the extraordinary people around him, and even some ordinary people, had strong feelings for him. interest and hostility.
It seems that as long as he shows some benefits that can be obtained, these people will swarm him and rob him of everything he has.
"Didn't your lucky friend contact the Aurora Society?" Pales showed a smile on his face: "Actually, I think the members of the Aurora Society should be of good quality. Don't forget that your friend is in the Aurora Society. If you can stay for such a long time, you should have good connections."
"I still feel a little... uncomfortable."
Leonard said with some difficulty to Pales next to him: "Many, many people died when the True Creator came... I am not able to accept being with the people of the Aurora Society..."
"That's up to you." Pales shrugged his shoulders in an ideological form and said to Leonard, who was possessed by him:
"Then you...hey? Just wait a moment..."
Before Palles could finish speaking, Leonard walked up to the "living corpse" and stretched out his hand to him:
"Hello, do you have anything to say to me?"
Leonard lowered his voice and spoke to the "living corpse" who had just looked at him. He keenly noticed that the muscles on this extraordinary man were tense, and he seemed to be prepared for an attack in advance.
It seems that he is using his injured body as a trap. He can not only detect the hostility of others, but also find people who can help him. This way he can kill two birds with one stone...
Leonard, who had lost his external brain, quickly figured out the purpose of the "living corpse"'s hidden glance at him just now.
After hearing Leonard's voice, the "living corpse" immediately showed the necessary vigilance - he admitted that he had just looked at this young man who had disguised his clothes as a sailor, but was actually quite exquisitely dressed, but He didn't expect that this young man would come up and strike up a conversation.
"Who are you?"
He said in a low voice.
