"When an outsider picks up this holy sword, God will reappear on the land."
"But what if the holy sword shatters?"
These two sentences echoed in Kalat and Edmonton's minds, completely touching on the blind spots of their knowledge.
For dozens of seconds, they looked at the shattered holy sword with blank expressions, unable to say a word.
They couldn't believe that the holy sword, which had only been touched by an outsider in the evening, would suddenly shatter!
What did this mean? What did this mean? The two of them didn't dare to think too deeply about it. It was as if they had returned to the past. Back then, a secret stronghold of the Resistance had been discovered by the Rouen military, and it had been wiped out without any warning. Their fathers had all died in that massacre, and their female relatives had been abducted and sold to different places. Before receiving the bad news, Kalat and Edmonton's emotions were the same as they were now. They were heavy, flustered, expectant, and uneasy, mixing into a strong sense of repression.
"Return to the jungle and find the High Priest to figure out the reason. Perhaps this is God's latest revelation to us …" Kalat said in a deep voice as he turned his wheelchair.
Edmonton immediately stood up and said to his remaining subordinates, "Continue searching for those blasphemers, but don't stay here.
"Also, instruct the believers outside not to hold any rituals or even pray for the time being!"
"Also, instruct the believers outside not to hold any rituals or even pray for the time being!"
The unexpected turn of events made him especially vigilant.
…
Bayam, in the corner of the street where the Cathedral of Waves was.
Dhaniz held a stack of folded white paper and turned his head, a little nervous, worried, and puzzled.
"You mean to put them up in different parts of this street, and finally at the door of the Cathedral of Waves?"
He was very afraid that the cathedral's door would suddenly open and a group of fist-waving priests and bishops would rush out. They would attack him without asking why he had posted the notices.
Klein maintained his cold state.
"Yes."
His original plan was to hand over the matter of Sea God Cavituis to Mr. The Hanging Man so that he could alert the Church of the Storm. However, considering that the other party still held the secret of Bansy Harbor and might have even handed it over, it was easy to arouse suspicion if he received any more important information in such a short period of time. Therefore, he ultimately decided to do it himself.
As for the solution, it was very simple. Put up a few notices at the entrance of the Mandated Punishers so that they could see them the moment they came out.
There was a small problem with the execution of this plan. Klein couldn't tell which shops and companies around the Cathedral of Waves were the Mandated Punishers' identities to the public. He had no choice but to get Dhaniz to put in a little more effort and paste them in all the conspicuous places, including but not limited to the main entrance of the Cathedral of Waves.
… I should've just run away … Why would I think that this fellow has saved my life? Perhaps it's because if it were any other powerful adventurer, I would've already turned into a gold pound … No, who would've thought that this lunatic would so easily resolve the Sea God's curse? Escaping might've been worse … Dhaniz lamented inwardly as he unfolded the stack of paper and casually scanned the contents.
"After Leticia Dolera and the others entered the Sea God ruins on Symeem Island, they were pursued by the Resistance. At the same time, Kalat and the other Resistance members were selling a strange, slightly curved bone sword. Sea God Cavituis's body is on the verge of collapse, and his mental state is extremely crazy."
"…" Dhaniz was stunned for two seconds as he subconsciously glanced at German Sparrow.
I can understand the first part, but why would there be descriptions of Sea God Cavituis's body on the verge of collapse and his mental state being extremely crazy … How did German Sparrow know of this? Did he discover a problem in the process of resolving the Sea God's curse? And how did he resolve the Sea God's curse? The organization behind him is much more powerful and terrifying than I imagined … Could it be similar to the Aurora Order, serving a true deity? The more Dhaniz thought about it, the more alarmed he became.
The first time he heard of the Aurora Order came from a raid at sea. At that time, he saw the captain's solemn expression for the first time. After that, he was taught some of the so-called mysterious World's general knowledge.
Klein responded to Dhaniz's gaze with an emotionless gaze.
In the notice, he excluded his own subjective guesses and only described the things that were certain, so as not to interfere with the judgment of the upper echelons of the Church of the Storm.
Among them, the content of Leticia and the others taking an important item was deleted. The Lost Temple was changed to the more inclusive Sea God's ruins. The stronghold that Kalat and the others would obviously give up after realizing that something had happened to the Sea God was also omitted.
Dhaniz quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look again.
The captain said that the more secrets you know, the more dangerous it is! He thought for a while and said worriedly,
"Pasting it on the front door of the church will definitely attract a lot of attention from the Church of the Storm.
"Will they find out that I did it?"
Klein gave a concise answer.
"Yes."
"…" Dhaniz forced a smile.
"Then wouldn't I be in danger?"
Klein used his Clown powers to control his expression and calmly replied,
"You're a pirate with a bounty on your head to begin with."
Do you think you can swagger down the main streets of Bayam now? Klein lampooned inwardly.
That's right. No matter what, they'll capture me and put a bounty on me … No, there's something wrong with that! Dhaniz blurted out,
"But my bounty will increase!"
Klein looked at him without saying a word, but the corners of his mouth curled up bit by bit.
At that instant, Dhaniz seemed to hear a rhetorical question:
Isn't this a good thing?
A good thing that a donkey kicks! Danitz chuckled dryly, took the stack of notices, and posted them in a conspicuous spot on the street near the Cathedral of Waves in the middle of the night.
It really looks like a small advertisement … Klein, with one hand in his pocket, looked from afar and commented inwardly.
He then sighed.
It's great to have an assistant. At least I don't have to do something so degrading myself … If I were in Tingen or Baekeland, if something similar were to happen … The scene would be too beautiful to imagine …
Dhaniz finally arrived outside the Church of Waves and pasted the notice on the front door. Then, he clenched his fist and knocked on the door.
After doing all of this, he turned around and ran, as if there were ten Mandated Punishers running behind him.
Klein didn't dare to delay. He took out the paper doll and flung it away, letting it burn to ashes. He quickly moved to another street.
After his recent encounters, he had a deep understanding of the Mandated Punishers' style and didn't dare to be careless.
It was not until they were far away from the Church of Waves that they slowed down and resumed their normal walking speed.
Dhaniz's physique was not bad. At this moment, his face was not red and he was not out of breath.
Puzzled, he asked,
"Why don't you just write a letter to the police station, or throw it into the governor's office?"
Without waiting for Klein to answer, he already understood.
"That's right. The lower-ranking police officers and the staff of the governor's office are all locals. It's very likely that they sympathize with the Resistance, and they might even be hidden believers of the Sea God."
As they spoke, the two turned a corner and saw a red building that occupied an extremely large area in front of them. It was brightly lit inside, and music could be heard faintly. There were people coming and going at the entrance, and carriages alternated. It didn't feel like it was late at night at all.
"Ha, we actually came here." After a second of surprise, Dhaniz revealed a smile that all men understood.
Red Theater? Klein, who had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, was instantly enlightened.
Dhaniz chuckled and said, "This is one of the most famous places in the entire Sonia Sea.
"This is one of the most famous places in the Sonia Sea. There are mysterious and charming Balam girls, passionate and hot Feynapotter girls, open and seductive Intis girls, tall and beautiful Feysac girls, conservative and quiet Loen ladies, gentle and docile locals …"
This fellow knows quite a lot … He comes here often? Klein swept a glance at Blazing without saying a word.
For some baffling reason, Dhaniz felt like he had been seen through as he immediately smiled awkwardly.
"That's what pirates say when they brag. I've only been here a few times.
"In the past, I didn't have much money, so I could only find ordinary ones. Furthermore, they were mainly from the Fog Sea. Later, I joined the Golden Dream …"
No wonder … Although Vice Admiral Iceberg's subordinates are treated well and often receive a share of the treasure, it's rather difficult to save up a few houses in Bayam … Compared to the typical pirate, this fellow at least knows how to control himself and save money … Klein thought in enlightenment.
Dhaniz didn't wish to continue the topic as he changed the topic.
"In Bayam, there are many street girls, especially there."
He pointed into the distance.
In the end, three to four out of ten families agreed. Tsk tsk, if it's someone with your standard Loenese looks, almost no one would reject it. They would only secretly hide their daughters from you. Heh heh, every year, Loen's navy commits many murders and rapes here. They aren't much better than the pirates, but they will only be chased back to their countries. At most, they will have to pay a small fine … "
Klein listened in silence as he suddenly recalled the group of Sea God believers who were praying by the pool in the evening. He recalled their fanatical and numb faces.
…
Baekeland, inside the villa of the Odora Family.
Having exposed a certain problem, Emlyn White nervously followed Cosmi into the underground area and once again arrived in the gray stone hall with the black iron-colored coffin.
"Honorable Lord Nibbs, why have you summoned me?" Although Emlyn had rehearsed such a scene dozens of times in his mind, he still couldn't completely eliminate the tension and anxiety in his heart.
In such a state, he suddenly understood a problem. From a drama point of view, the character he was playing should be secretly worried and afraid.
There's no need for any special disguise … I did well! Emlyn suddenly calmed down.
A deep and aged voice sounded from the coffin that was covered in symbols and magic labels.
"To commend you.
"For the Ancestor, you risked praying to The Fool. Although you didn't receive a response, you still took on a huge risk. This is an act that needs to be rewarded.
"Here's a bill of acceptance for 7,000 pounds. It's a reward for you. I didn't give it to you in time due to the Great Smog of Baekeland, but it's not too late now.
"At the same time, you have to pay attention to yourself at all times. Don't relax. Immediately inform Cosmi if anything abnormal happens."
He really gave me money … Emlyn nearly forgot to close his mouth.
