Balam SituationChapter 184 Balam Situation

"Now that the Creator has gone west, we must march east on His behalf!"

"The Lord has not issued any instructions. We should not interfere..."

"No, no, the Lord has already conveyed His will to us in person!"

"But no matter what, we must abide by the commandments of the Creator. Even if they are pagans, we must save them from the hands of false gods. But..."

"How to deal with them is the Lord's business, that's the bottom line."

...

Looking at the pedestrian who had robbed the beggar and fled in panic, the High-Dimensional Overlooker used the connection between himself and his original body to say to his original body, which was still in the starry sky, "That man should be dead."

East Balam in the southern continent is now a jungle that follows the primitive rule of the survival of the fittest. As the power of the Mother Tree of Desire within the barrier increases, a large number of God-given and extraordinary beings who have received the blessings of the Mother Tree of Desire suddenly emerge in the chaotic southern continent.

Although those who have received the gift of the Mother Tree do not need to act, they will be more affected by the Mother Tree of Desire because of the gift, and their behavior is more violent than that of the extraordinary people who have taken magic potions to advance.

As for these extraordinary people, because they need to act or are influenced by the will in the potion, they will unconsciously approach the sequence name itself.

The three paths of the Mother Tree of Desire are almost all related to desire. Because of this, the daily behavior of the extraordinary people in these three paths will obviously bring about quite serious disasters.

The problem is that there are quite a lot of extraordinary people in the southern continent whose strength is completely unknown to others. Even the "audience" cannot directly see through the identity of the extraordinary people. Therefore, the "criminals" and "prisoners" in the low sequence do not dare to commit crimes recklessly.

After all, you are now committing crimes in order to digest potions, and no one can be sure whether you will be hunted by others as a walking Beyonder.

Under the deliberate actions of the Rose School and the Mother Tree of Desire, which have been greatly enhanced and deliberately allowed chaos to grow in order to indirectly influence other gods, the Extraordinary people in the Southern Continent now know earlier than those in the Northern Continent that Extraordinary materials that can be used as the "main ingredient of potions" will appear on their bodies after their death.

This also leads to the fact that the extraordinary people in these two paths generally restrain their extraordinary abilities, and wait until ordinary people appear who can be played by them, and then they will hunt and play in secret.

After knowing that there are many people with special abilities around them, ordinary people have become more cautious. Most of them have only a vague understanding of this, and only know that they cannot reveal the fact that they do not have such special abilities, otherwise they may face a catastrophe.

Not to mention the exploitation and plunder they suffered from the Northern Continental army and officers who colonized here from the outside world, the backstabbing and hunting from their own people alone was enough to make them cautious.

Moreover, after the number of Extraordinaries increased, the people of the Southern Continent not only did not enjoy better public security, but instead suffered further plunder from the Northern Continent. The Northern Continent's army would not take the lives of the residents of the Southern Continent seriously, and for this reason, in the eyes of some officers, the cities where these Extraordinaries were located were simply natural hunting grounds.

Whether it's handed over to the Church of Steam and Mechanics to be made into extraordinary items or to cultivate one's own extraordinary people in the Path of the Abyss and the Bound, or even given to some ordinary people who want to get in touch with the mysticism to make some extra money for themselves, these are all excellent resources.

Moreover, after being invaded by the Rose School, these soldiers began to plunder the local natives with a vengeful mindset.

The original body in the starry sky took a look and did not respond to the trivial matter mentioned by his avatar. The avatar on the ground did not wait for the original body's reply and continued to speak to him without any concern:

"Should we tell Fors this news?"

After hearing the question from the demigod-level incarnation he left on the ground, the real body of the High-Dimensional Overlooker finally turned his eyes and quietly looked down at his incarnation from the starry sky.

"This is something that has been determined before. What are you hesitating about?" The main body calmly asked his avatar:

"You are me. You should know our purpose. If you make a different judgment, you can just execute it directly. Why are you asking me?"

"Or are you just too heartless to do that? This shouldn't be the case. God can create Eden. Once I have collected enough pathways and essences, I will be able to reshape the order here."

"This may be a little selfish of mine." The High-Dimensional Overlooker showed a subtle smile and looked up at the empty sky: "My student already knows what she will face. Any more will be a bit too much for her."

"You decide for yourself." The original body said silently, turning his head back. His tone was full of indifference: "You are me, your decision is my decision. I believe in my own judgment - although you are not me in this timeline."

"Okay, okay - I know, I know. You haven't yet contained the 'wilderness of knowledge' and cannot unify all the consciousness of 'me'." The incarnation of the High-Dimensional Overlooker smiled casually at his original body: "Just stay there and watch the show - but, you have decided to reshape the world, what are you still doing now?"

"Isn't this right?"

"I am nurturing a dream, a dream that can become reality." The main body said to the high-dimensional observer in front of him without any emotion:

"- This is the prototype of the future world."

"oh?"

The high-dimensional overlooker used the perspective of his main body to look at the surroundings of his main body. Each high-dimensional being was either moving things or busy at his own stage. In the center of his own source, he placed the uniqueness of his two sequences and the uniqueness of the "Hermit" path.

Outside these three uniquenesses, each has an extraordinary characteristic of sequence one.

And in the middle of these uniquenesses is a huge jar, with energy flickering inside and restraining a small piece of thin gray mist.

That was an imperceptible portion of Sefirah Castle captured by the Veiled Garden.

At this moment, the "Curtain Garden" is undergoing some changes, but because of the "shell" on the outside of the courtyard, the current scenery of the garden is not known to other gods who are good at peeping.

"Are you transforming the source substance?" The high-dimensional observer who had not contacted the main body for a long time was surprised for a moment when he saw the scene in front of him: "This is a big project."

"This is what I am mainly doing now. That is why I can only devote a small amount of energy to the things on earth now."

The main body still spoke calmly to itself: "After you digest the Sequence 3 potion, you can go find the Hanged Man and ask him to help you hunt down the Angel of the Path of Knowledge."

"I have given you my humanity, and you should be able to pretend to be perfect on Earth. I believe that even if I have more humanity, I will not make a wrong judgment."

"Okay, I understand." The High-Dimensional Overlooker glanced at his own body and said, "What if the Dragon of Knowledge is willing to lower himself?"

"That also does not allow him to possess the Sequence 1 of the White Tower Path. This is a hidden danger. I cannot allow this hidden danger to happen."

The main body sneered, obviously not believing this god who had betrayed the ancient sun god once: "But you can tell Him that He can choose a characteristic of 'painter' or 'closing curtain'. I will allow Him to become my subordinate god. It is His honor."

"If He is unwilling to give up His own characteristics, then hunt Him down. I will use my own authority to completely erase Him from the timeline, cutting off His chance of revival."

"At the same time, train Fors well. She has great potential in the 'Gate' path and is extremely curious. If Klein fails in the end, we must at least produce another 'Gate' path Extraordinary who can compete with the 'Lord of Mysteries'."

Upon hearing these words, the pupils of the high-dimensional overlord couldn't help but shrink slightly.

"What did you see? Do you think that Klein, whom we have been helping, will fail?

"The High-Dimensional Overlooker looked at his original body with some surprise: "He is doing much better now than in the original book. Although he lost the Poseidon Scepter that should have belonged to him and lost part of its anchor, he also has the Lost Homeland and the support of a pillar. "

"No, it won't." The original body's tone, which may have become extremely calm due to the loss of a lot of humanity, added some confusion: "I don't see such a future."

"After I can mess up the timeline, I can only see the past and not the future."

"This is becoming more and more like the real world."

"The real world..." The High-Dimensional Overlooker chewed on this word and looked at his true self above him. Although the High-Dimensional Overlooker's true self was not in that position, in the sense of mysticism, He still saw where his true self was:

"That's a good thing, isn't it?"

"Maybe." The main body was noncommittal. "Ever since I devoured the Hermit pathway, I've felt something completely different from before. The Hermit is the original pathway, and I can feel the original."

"Will this leave some hidden dangers? Do you feel that the original has awakened initially?" The high-dimensional overlooker asked his original body. The original body remained silent and answered the question of his incarnation on Earth:

"No, I haven't felt the original awakening in my body yet."

"I'm just thinking about this now:"

"Compared to other non-pillar Old Ones, my authority has clearly exceeded the standard, but the scope of influence is still not as good as that of the pillars."

"But, could this be related to the original reason why I came here?"

The high-dimensional overwatch came to his senses and looked deeply into the sea in the distance.

Looking northward from the southern continent, Klein was now considering whether he should follow Gao Wei's advice and summon a messenger.

Having a messenger is a very convenient thing for extraordinary people. For example, a messenger who has one-way communication with Mr. Azik can be summoned just by blowing the copper whistle.

But for Klein, he had other concerns about the messenger.

"Messenger summoning ritual, is this really reliable?" Klein frowned as he sat in the middle of the captain's room.

What he was worried about was whether his ritual would attract some strange things, now that he was favored by the real Creator, the Goddess of Night, the Fool played by himself, the High-Dimensional Overlooker played by Lao Gao, and the influence of a "thief" angel and a "prisoner" demigod on his ship.

Before going to the spirit world to recruit a messenger, I must do a divination. Well, it's not safe to do a divination here, I will go to "Source Castle" later and make another trip to try to get my own messenger.

...It would be bad if an Amon was summoned.

God knows whether there is Amon among the creatures in the spiritual world.

Also, if the ceremony is to be held, can it be performed in Sefirah Castle?

This can be tried, but unfortunately, Sefirah Castle cannot predict my own situation, so I may need to be more cautious.

Klein picked up the telescope on the table and looked into the distance. After half a day of sailing, his "Lost Homeland" had bypassed the Rorsted Archipelago and was about to reach the sea area where the Church of Evernight kept mermaids.

It seems that it is impossible to recruit messengers now... After seeing that they were about to arrive, Klein suddenly had such a thought in his mind. He thought about it for a moment and decided to wait until he was in a safe place to recruit messengers.

There are too many hidden dangers at sea, and it is still not safe. I am now a member of the Orthodox Church, not like before... Well, although there are many contradictions and conflicts in the Orthodox Church now, as long as I don't expose the identity of the Aurora Society, the Storm Church should not come to hunt me down...

I almost forgot one thing. I need to ask Frank Lee to research how to grow food in polluted places in the dark. This guy has been instructed by the Fallen Mother Goddess, so this simple task shouldn't be a big problem...

This matter must be resolved quickly, otherwise the little "sun" might suffer from famine. Well, but I can also try to ask the goddess of night and find out what she is busy with recently...

Come to think of it, after leaving Backlund, we time travelers haven't seen each other for a long time.

Klein thought to himself as he had Maric control the zombies to stop the Lost Homeland far away. He then used the shadows on it to split a small boat and looked at Leonard Mitchell, who was not far away.

"Change your clothes and let's go over there."

Klein said to Leonard, who nodded and quickly took action.

Maric, who was standing aside, was stunned by this scene. It turned out that this guy was really a Beyonder from the Church of Evernight. Before, I had always thought that he was actually a divine messenger from the Aurora Society...

——I can only say that Maric still lacks experience.

Klein walked forward and soon arrived at the door of "Toxin Expert" Frank Lee.

He knocked lightly on the door with his fingers, then pushed it open and looked at Frank who was facing away from him.

Klein was silent for a moment, then said to him decisively,

"I hope I can entrust you with something."

　The journey to the southern continent begins!

　　The errors about the sequence have been corrected. The sequence 1 of the "scholar" path has been changed to "painter", and the sequence 1 of the "actor" path has been changed to "end"

(End of this chapterLandingChapter 185 Landing

Frankly quickly put the seeds he had cultivated before from the table into his pocket. He abided by the previous agreement with Klein and did not conduct his own experiments on the ship. Now he was just checking the status of the seeds, but he was still worried about being misunderstood by the captain in front of him.

"What's wrong, Captain Sparrow?" Frank Lee turned his head naturally and looked at Klein in front of him.

"...fine."

Klein felt something was wrong, but he didn't pursue what Frank was doing. Klein thought for a moment and said,

"Can you cultivate edible plants that can grow in large quantities in a polluted environment?"

After thinking about it, Klein added some restrictions on the plants he wanted to cultivate: "Of course, I need plants that can be controlled and eaten as food."

If Frank's invention mutates unnecessarily due to the pollution left by the real Creator in the God-Forsaken Land, causing Silver City to be overrun with vegetative people... ah, and the one-punch mushroom, then it will be my fault...

Klein couldn't help but think of the mushrooms growing around Silver City and the huge mushroom man running nearby, and he shuddered.

"Can it grow under polluted conditions?" Frank was stunned for a moment when he heard Klein's question, and then he began to think seriously.

Although Frank had a general understanding of some basic principles about various creatures after reading the book given to him by the Fallen Mother Goddess, there were some mystical contents that the author of the book, which was of a low sequence, was destined to be unable to write.

For example, knowledge about "pollution".

Although the author of this book got a glimpse of the fallen Mother Goddess after returning to the Mother Goddess's embrace, he never saw the mother he believed in while he was alive. Because of this, there are some gaps in the information in this book.

Klein's words gave Frank, who was thinking in his room, a broader perspective. After a brief contemplation, Frank excitedly jumped up from his seat and shook the hand of Gehrman Sparrow in front of him:

"Captain Sparrow, you know me well. I have thought of some ways. Maybe I can hybridize plants with the flesh and blood of Beyonders, so that it has the ability to absorb pollution and excrete it."

The flesh and blood of a Beyonder... Frank, you are an evil cultivator... Although he was complaining in his heart, Klein did not show any other expression on his face. He just nodded slightly and said to Frank indifferently:

"There is no sunlight in the environment there. You should take this into consideration when improving the plants."

"No sunlight?" Frank was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "If there is no sunlight, then we can only grow mushrooms..."

"As long as the plants meet my requirements, it's fine." Klein emphasized, "Of course, they can't have any side effects on the people who consume them."

"I know, I know. This is the direction I've been researching." Frank rubbed his hands and looked at Klein with a little more hope on his face. "I don't have enough materials recently. After we go to Dainos Island, can I go buy some..."

"..." Klein fell silent here. He prepared his words and emphasized again to Frank in front of him:

"This is an island that believes in the Goddess of Night and belongs to the Church of Night. I'll ask Leonard to help you get your ID. Don't be too obvious when you buy it."

"I see!"

Frank said excitedly: "Thank you, Captain Sparrow, I will start the experiment after I buy the things in the next two days!"

"No, you don't have to be so anxious." Klein rubbed his temples slightly and calculated the situation of Silver City. After finding out that Silver City's food reserves could be used for a few months, Klein said to Frank solemnly,

"Wait until we leave this island before you start your experiment. If you need any extraordinary materials at that time, you can contact me directly."

"Okay." Frank nodded solemnly, as if he had met his confidant.

Even his own captain had never been so supportive of his experiment... Thinking of this, Frank couldn't help but take a closer look at German Sparrow in front of him.

...

Leonard stood up from the boat, took two steps forward, and then jumped handsomely onto the harbor. His actions naturally attracted a lot of attention, but when they saw him in the uniform of the Church of Night, the residents passing by almost turned their heads away.

The island is home to the "Sleeping Church" of the Church of Night, and is one of the few places where there are no other gods spreading their beliefs, and only believers of the Goddess of Night exist.

After all, there are a large number of mermaids kept in this church, which is the effort made by the Goddess of Night to control the "Fortune Teller" channel. For the Goddess of Night, both the Quiet Church and this Sleeping Church are used to control the power of the Antigonus family from reviving.

Therefore, the residents here are all believers of the Goddess of Night, and there are also a large number of Night Watchmen on this island.

"Sir, please show me your ID." The night watchman who was in charge of maintaining order at the port drew a "scarlet moon" shape on his chest. He saw Leonard in front of him wearing a butler's uniform, and he felt envious.

…This person should be a deacon of the church.

Leonard naturally pulled out his ID and Holy Emblem of the Night from the inside of his clothes and handed them to the Night Watcher in front of him:

"I am a deacon affiliated with the Backlund campus, currently carrying out the mission of Archbishop Anthony Stevenson." Leonard waved his hand and said to the Night Watcher of the Church of the Night in front of him:

"I hope you can report our coming here to the bishop of the church. I have a companion on the pirate ship behind. In order to facilitate our mission, we disguised ourselves as pirates with the permission of the bishop."

After hearing Leonard's words, the Night Watchman perked up immediately, and his words clearly showed more importance: "Please wait a moment, I will report to the church right away."

"Okay." Leonard nodded gently, with a smile on his face.

"My companion, um, the other deacon, has now digested his potion. This time we came to the Dainos Islands, on the one hand to report on the previous work, and on the other hand to let him complete his promotion ceremony here."

"Okay, I'll report now. Please wait here." The night watchman just nodded, whispered a few words to the people around him, and ran towards the church.

Leonard casually found a wooden stake nearby and sat down. He smacked his lips and couldn't help but ask in his heart,

"Old man, how come Klein's potion was digested so quickly?"

"I remember that when he first became a Beyonder, his digestion progress was not that fast. Even though I have helped so many crew members with their souls, I have only just finished digesting the Requiem Master's potion."

Pales Zoroast in Leonard's consciousness smiled, as if he was mocking the question Leonard asked. After a moment, he said to his host:

"Klein must have other secrets, otherwise the True Creator and the Goddess of Night would not have chosen him as their favored one."

"To receive the grace of multiple gods at the same time, haha, even the Black Emperor hundreds of years ago couldn't do that."

"Black Emperor Roselle Gustav?" Leonard couldn't help but smack his lips again, chatting with Pales to kill time while waiting:

"Do you think so highly of Klein? I remember you once said that Roselle, the 'Son of Steam', eventually became a true god."

Leonard ate the melon with great interest.

"Those who are blessed by the gods are not simple, kid." Pales looked at his host again: "He must have his own secrets. This secret will definitely be of great help to him in playing the role of the 'Faceless Man'."

"Do you think you can digest your potion by playing the role of a crazy captain on the ship?"

"...Ha, that's right. But I knew he had this secret at the time, but I didn't expect his secret to be bigger than mine." Leonard couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, he is more like the protagonist of the era than me."

Since Dunn Smith, Daley Simone and others survived, although Leonard had the desire to improve his sequence and seek revenge, he still retained some of the passion and fantasy of his youth.

——To put it simply, it still retains a bit of the second-year mentality.

"You'd better not expect him to become the protagonist of the era."

Pales sneered and looked at the silly boy he was parasitizing. "Whether it was Solomon, Tudor, Trunsoest, Mr. Men, or Roselle Gustav, who was closest to your era, the endings of the protagonists of these eras were not very good."

"It stands to reason that hundreds of years have passed, and the Black Emperor has not yet been resurrected. There must have been some unexpected changes."

"Most of the protagonists of this era have now disappeared. Those who survived are often those who hid behind the scenes. Mr. Men, who was praised as the angel king who was most likely to become a true god, has now disappeared. However, it is possible that he is hiding behind the scenes and has seized..."

Pales's voice became quieter and quieter until it disappeared.

"If that's the case, then I really don't want Klein to become the protagonist of this era."

Leonard turned around and looked at the sea not far away: "But old man, you also mentioned to me those prophecies in the spirit world. If we don't improve our sequence, I'm afraid we won't even survive this battle between the gods."

"Yeah, so why don't you hurry up and digest the Requiem Master's potion?" Upon hearing this, Palles immediately sneered at his host, "Boy, you'd better digest the Requiem Master's potion before arriving at the Southern Continent. That way, it will be easier for you to advance to Sequence Five."

"This is not an easy task..." Leonard smiled bitterly and gradually emptied his mind, waiting for the deacon of the Church of Night to come with the bishop of the church to confirm their identities.

This was not an easy task, after all, there were many members on his ship who did not belong to the Church of Evernight. Some were even captains of some well-known pirate groups. Although there was a tacit understanding between the church and pirates on the sea, they still needed to go through a strict review before they could be allowed on board.

At this moment in the southern continent, Bethel Abraham, who was just being talked about by Pales Zoroaster as "Mr. 'Door'" - of course, now he is Mr. "Door" of the previous generation - suddenly sneezed.

He looked at the high-dimensional overlord beside him, looked around the luxurious room around him, and said to him with a little seriousness:

"Aren't you in a hurry at all? The situation around your incarnation doesn't seem to be very good now."

"If you were surrounded by a group of ordinary people, would you really be impatient?"

The High Dimensional Overlooker, wearing a gorgeous outfit and a gold-rimmed monocle on his right eye, put down the book in his hand and drank a cup of tea with a chronic poison. As a creation condensed from the flesh and blood of the "Rose Bishop" and the authority of the High Dimensional Overlooker, this body easily excreted the toxins from its body.

"Not to mention that my most powerful avatar is not actually here, these people alone are not able to kill this weak avatar of mine."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker chuckled softly: "I actually hope that the bastard Mother Tree of Desire can really cause chaos in the southern continent. In this way, I can then naturally control the army of the Kingdom of Loen in the southern continent and shake the anchor of George III."

"This world is not suitable for the birth of another Black Emperor."

"Why are you doing this so strangely?" Bethel Abraham frowned. "According to your ability, if you want to shake George III's 'anchor', it shouldn't be that troublesome."

"This is an expedition."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker smiled and said, "I have selected more than a hundred people on this planet as my agents. Their final choice will allow me to decide whether to keep this planet in the new universe."

"…Is it really okay for you to tell me this?"

"What's the matter?" The high-dimensional looker laughed: "You can't run away anyway."

"If I didn't control everything from your characteristics to your fate, I wouldn't be telling you this."

-

Mother Tree of Desire: You bastard, who are you calling a bastard?

(End of this chapterDreamingChapter 186

Not long after entering the dream, the night watchman who had received Leonard before came to the dock with a bishop in a black robe.

After confirming Leonard's identity once again, the bishop told Leonard that there was no problem with his identity and they could land legally.

After receiving the signal from Leonard, the "Lost Homeland" slowly approached the shore.

Klein, who was still standing on the deck, clapped his hands lightly. A shadow dropped from the deck and transformed into a black staircase, allowing several people to walk down one by one.

The one walking in the front was Klein, who was disguised as Gehrman Sparrow. On Klein's left were Cattleya, Frank, and Heath Doyle, the members of the Star Pirates who had stayed on the ship. As for the other survivors of the Star Pirates, they stayed on the ship and did not get off.

On Klein's right, there was Danitz, who had burnt yellow eyebrows and wrapped himself tightly in a scarf; Sharon, who was wearing a complicated dress and walking forward expressionlessly; and Maric, who was wearing a white shirt. To the right of these two, there was Xio, who was wearing ordinary clothes and lowered his head slightly.

Klein looked at the bishop in front of him, took off his captain's hat, and said to him politely, "This is my ID."

"In addition, these are the informants we developed. I hope you can also arrange accommodation for them. After I finish reporting my work, I will take them away."

Klein tapped his chest four times, drawing a "Scarlet Moon" symbol.

Klein was worried about placing these high-risk Beyonders on the ship. As the saying goes, one must always be on guard against others.

"Okay, I've received a letter from the cathedral." The bishop attached great importance to what Klein had told him. Long before that, he had received letters from the Tranquility Church and Backlund's Cathedral to prove Klein's identity as a deacon of the Church of Evernight.

This was of course a request that Klein had made with the help of Archbishop Anthony's messenger. Because his current identity was rather suspicious and he was carrying a large number of crew members who were not members of the church, he needed additional proof to reduce the troubles he might encounter.

"Thank you for your help." Gehrman Sparrow said to the bishop in front of him with a stern look. The bishop nodded and led them forward.

"Your other crew members may need to live here." After crossing a busy street, the bishop walked forward and pointed to a building that looked like a hotel: "Please forgive me."

"I know. This is the rule." Klein nodded coldly while maintaining Gehrman's "personality". He turned to the crew behind him and said, "You guys rest here now. We will leave here in about two days, or at most three days, and prepare to head to the southern continent."

Then, he turned to look at Cattleya who was standing aside:

"My previous promise to you still stands."

The promise here refers to the promise that after arriving in the southern continent, the two will release Cattleya after completing the commission.

Cattleya nodded, indicating that she understood, but after the mysterious queen's instructions to Cattleya, she had other thoughts in her mind.

After giving the instructions, Klein and Leonard followed the archbishop of the island and walked towards the church.

The church was not far from where the others lived, so they did not choose to take a carriage but walked there.

"Your Excellency, I came here hoping to ask for the help of the mermaids kept in captivity by the church to help me complete the Sequence Five promotion ceremony."

Even under the shell of "German", Klein still spoke quite politely.

"Archbishop Anthony has already explained this to me in his letter. Your merits are more than enough." Facing this rising star of the church, the bishop considered his words carefully: "Archbishop Anthony mentioned in his letter that you have collected the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 5?"

"Yes, I came here this time to exchange the remaining merits for auxiliary materials for promotion and complete the promotion ceremony."

Klein nodded. "After this, I plan to go directly to the southern continent to continue our mission. The mission is intense."

"...May the goddess bless you." The bishop was silent for a second, obviously understanding the current situation of the southern continent. In the slightly silent atmosphere, the bishop broke the silence and said to Klein beside him:

"I have not exchanged this potion formula at the church, so according to the regulations, you can go behind the door and exchange the materials with the gatekeeper yourself."

"I understand. Thank you." Klein said sincerely, "I hope I can use a separate prayer room in the church to pray tomorrow."

"Do you want to pray to the goddess?" The bishop obviously expected it. He nodded and didn't ask any more questions. "I'll make arrangements tonight. Mr. Deacon, you should rest first. I'll ask the church's night watchman to take you there tomorrow."

"Okay, but before that, I still want to go to the church first. I'm going to write a reply letter to Archbishop Anthony. When I was performing the ceremony at sea, I didn't carry enough materials with me, so I didn't have time to report too much to the bishop." Klein's tone remained unchanged.

"And some things need to be reported in a safe place."

Leonard was also busy: "Sir, do you need any soul-restoring missions? I'm a soul-restoring master, and I have nothing to do right now. I have to wait for Gehrman to leave here."

Helping the church to rest its souls can also accumulate some small merits, and more importantly, it can help Leonard complete the digestion of "Requiem Master".

"Of course." The bishop nodded confidently to Leonard in front of him.

Since the mission from the church did not reveal anything more, the bishop did not ask any further questions.

...

"Well, Captain, Captain, I have to contact the Captain immediately..."

After finally finding a place where no one was watching him, Danitz hurriedly set up a simple dream-entering ritual in his room. After taking out the spiritual materials from his pocket, he began to hold his own ceremony.

A few days ago, his captain, Vice Admiral Iceberg, Edwina, taught Danitz a ritual through a brief dream, but it seemed that his captain only told him after a brief exchange that he should wait until it was safe before communicating with her using this ritual.

"I need to move faster..."

After completing the necessary actions of the ritual, Danitz forced himself to enter the dream. And Admiral Edwina Edwards, who was far away at sea, learned through the ritual magic that Danitz was contacting her, and then she used the items he left on the ship to "enter the dream".

Danitz, who had just fallen asleep with the help of a ritual, was still immersed in his dream, and then he found himself awake.

When he noticed that the scene around him had gone from blurry to clear, Danitz, who had experienced being in a dream once, knew what had happened.

He subconsciously looked towards his door: "Captain!"

"What on earth happened to you, Danitz?"

Edwina frowned and asked her boatswain with some confusion: "It seems that something happened on your side involving a high-level Beyonder, so that you have no news at all after dealing with Iron Maiviti."

"That wasn't solved by me. Someone else..."

Danitz told his captain the whole story, and Edwina listened quietly. When Danitz mentioned that Gehrman Sparrow, who saved her, needed half of her bounty, that is, 1,500 pounds, to exchange for him, Edwina couldn't help but frowned.

"You may not know this yet." Danitz heard his captain calmly say to him,

"After you hunted down 'Steel', your bounty has reached 4,200 pounds, which means that it will cost about 2,100 Loen gold pounds to redeem you."

"I can help you pay half of the ransom, and you can pay the other half yourself."

"Ah?" After learning that his ransom had increased by 1/3, Danitz could not care about being happy and could not help but open his mouth wide.

Then he almost uttered vulgar words from his mouth:

"Dog... ahem, I didn't get any news at all!"

"Go on and tell me what happened to you afterwards." Edwina said to Danitz, "Before, I even suspected that you died quietly at sea. You should know that a few days ago, the flagship of 'Admiral of the Stars' Cattleya, who is stronger than me, was sunk by an unknown enemy, and there is a new king on the sea."

"Uh, Captain. Actually..." Danis scratched his head:

"These days, Admiral Cattleya and her surviving crew members are on the same ship with me."

"...On the same boat with you?" Edwina subconsciously repeated what Danitz had said in front of her, and subconsciously thought about the credibility of what Danitz said, "Tell me about it in detail."

Danitz rubbed his head and told his captain in detail what he had encountered.

Edwina sat down on the chair beside her quite naturally, and listened quietly to Danitz's story.

When she heard about the crazy captain German Sparrow who piloted the ghost ship, the corner of Edwina's eye couldn't help but twitch.

"...That's about it, and I also wonder if he is working with the Church of Evernight. Of course, it is also possible that Gehrman Sparrow himself is a member of the Church of Evernight, just like those damned privateer captains of the Church of Storms."

Danitz, who had once been a "provocateur", did not realize that he had also cursed his own captain.

"The Church of Evernight?" Edwina, who was born in the Church of Knowledge, said thoughtfully, "The Church of Evernight should not have the tradition of training privateering captains. If so, he may be a deacon of the church who is carrying out a mission. The title of captain is just a product of his concealment of his identity."

Of course, it is not ruled out that he pretends to be the captain in order to digest his own potion. In this case, there is a high probability that he is a fortune teller... The knowledgeable Edwina thought so.

From this point of view, the captain of this ship should indeed be a Beyonder of the Diviner Path cultivated by the Church of Evernight, and a Beyonder of the Church who has been specially cultivated. Otherwise, he would not have received a ship with Beyonder abilities as his mission supplies...

"Captain, what should I do now?" Danitz looked at Edwina in front of him with some hope in his eyes: "Should I get off the ship when I reach the southern continent and leave here directly? I think this guy is quite dangerous. I may become a bounty at any time."

However, Danitz received a disappointing answer.

"I'm not suggesting you come back."

Edwina analyzed to Danitz in front of her, her tone seemed to indicate that she wanted to analyze it thoroughly with him from all aspects: "The situation at sea has been unclear recently. The newly promoted pirate king successfully hunted down an archbishop of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church in West Balam and became a true pirate king, the 'King of the Sun'."

"At the same time, the Church of the Eternal Sun has issued a top-level wanted order for us, so our situation at sea has been quite dangerous recently."

"Then Captain, I think I should come back and help you—"

"Instead of coming back, you might as well continue to cooperate with Gehrman Sparrow at sea. With his background in the Church of Evernight, he might be able to provide us with more information. Of course, I can also teach you a ritual so that you can contact the captain on my behalf."

After guessing that Gehrman Sparrow might also be a member of the Orthodox Church, Edwina decided to cooperate with Klein. There was no direct conflict between the Church of Knowledge and the Church of Night, and the relationship between the two was pretty good.

As the situation at sea is getting worse, Edwina chooses to ask the boatswain, who has increased her ransom by 600 pounds, to cooperate with German Sparrow to a certain extent, which may help them in the future.

After all, even though the "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya, who was stronger than Edwina, was directly sunk by the pirate king, Gehrman still dared to take her in. And Edwina, who was studying the "Key of Death" she had obtained before, also had some selfish motives of her own.

If a colleague from the Orthodox Church could become a pirate general, her adventures at sea would be much safer.

"Then, there is one thing I hope you need to be careful about, and it's best to remind Captain Sparrow." Edwina emphasized to her boatswain: "Although the outside world calls him the 'King of the Sun', this king with an unpredictable personality usually calls himself..."

"Star Tyrant."

A deep voice came over, and the two of them immediately turned their heads to look in the distance. "German Sparrow", dressed in a captain's uniform, pushed the door open and nodded slightly.

Behind him, there was a handsome young man wearing the uniform of the Church of Night.
