Witcher starts with Get Inspiration Panel

As Okote spoke slowly.

An extremely large cult organization, the Poseidon Society, slowly appeared in front of everyone like a long picture scroll.

The "Poseidon" worshiped by the Poseidon Society is Kraken, a deep-sea giant with unfathomable strength. It is said that this giant object is thousands of meters long and has infinite power. As long as someone believes in it devoutly, they will get its response and feedback.

The Poseidon Society is a church that has slowly developed from worshiping it. Its current sphere of influence covers the entire Loras Peninsula and the surrounding sea areas.

But don't think that this area is small. Think about the size of the Crab Claw Peninsula, which accounts for almost one-third of the Heron Kingdom.

The Loras Peninsula is only as big as it is small.

Moreover, the Poseidon Society occupies more of various small islands, various archipelagos, and a sea area that is more than ten times wider.

The entire church has a clear hierarchical structure. From the patriarch, archbishop, bishop, priest, deacon and ordinary believers, the rights and obligations are different.

The previous Okote was already a senior priest. If he can successfully sit on the throne of the Norris family patriarch this time, then becoming a bishop is basically a foregone conclusion.

"Ocott, what is it that you have been plotting to take away from the family's secret treasury?" Audit on the side suddenly asked.

"The Golden Compass!" Okote said directly without being secretive at this time.

"What! It's actually the Golden Compass!" Audit lost his voice.

Mei Luo on the side suddenly became confused after hearing this, Golden Compass? Is there such a thing in the family? Why am I not impressed?

After Richard and Stepina looked at each other, they also saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Obviously, both of them were completely ignorant of the Golden Compass and had never heard of it.

At this time, Audit, the patriarch of the Norris family, looked at the people around him. It was either his daughter or the savior of his family, so he had no intention of hiding it, but introduced it softly:

"This golden compass is a treasure handed down from ancient times. As long as you kneel down and worship it devoutly, it can allow designated ships to avoid danger in the ocean, and it can also show the way home to those who are lost."

"This is also the foundation of the Norris family as a large shipping family."

“This secret has always been known only to the patriarch of the Norris family!”

"Ocott, how did you know this secret?" Audit said with a serious face.

"This... was given to me in a dream by Poseidon during the sacrifice, asking me to find the golden compass in the Norris family's secret vault and sacrifice it to him. Then I can get the coveted reward."

Okote still had a certain sense of belonging to the Norris family in his heart, so after thinking about it, he spoke out.

Audite remained silent after listening, as if the volcano that had been suppressed by the sea water would erupt violently in the next second.

"Ocott! Do you know that if you sacrifice the Golden Compass to the so-called Poseidon, the Norris family without the support of sea transportation will soon completely fall apart!!" Audit roared.

He was so disappointed!

He felt ashamed for the thought he had once had, about giving up the position of patriarch to this younger brother!

Fortunately, that didn't happen, otherwise he wouldn't know how to face the ancestors of the Norris family!

"So what! As long as I sacrifice to the great Poseidon, I will be able to step into the level of a second-level great wizard. By then, even re-establishing the Norris family will be a piece of cake!" Ocott also said the same to his brother growled.

"You are hopeless!!"

Odette's chest rose and fell sharply, obviously extremely angry!

"Hahaha! You are hopeless. Poseidon will protect the Norris family!!" Okote counterattacked tit for tat. Judging from his expression, he was already a little crazy.

Seeing this scene, Richard understood clearly.

This is almost always the case for cultists, who are deeply immersed in the worship of gods and unable to extricate themselves.

There is no clear mind and reason!

It's almost impossible to communicate properly!

"Psychic shock!"

A transparent mental power wave directly hit Okote, and immediately, the insane Okote fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Richard, did you kill him? I haven't had time to ask you clearly yet, where is Captain Baloric's whereabouts?" Mei Luo suddenly thought of a question.

"He is just unconscious! Captain Baloric? Is he the captain who knows the location of Basileus Island in the Summer Sea?" Richard turned to Mei Luo and asked.

"Yes! That's the captain."

"Well, easy!"

After waking up Okote again, Richard used some tricks, and Mei Luo soon learned the whereabouts of Captain Baloric from her uncle's mouth.

It turned out that the other party was imprisoned in the port of Antwerp, in the secret stronghold of the Poseidon Sect.

"Tell me! Where is the Poseidon Sect's stronghold in the port of Antwerp?" Richard continued to ask.

"It's underground in the Seagull Tavern." Ocott, who was on the verge of mental collapse due to Richard's continuous mental shock, directly told the location of the secret stronghold.

"Richard, why don't you take Stephana to rescue Captain Baloric first?" Mei Luo thought for a moment and then said.

At the same time, Mei Luo also explained in detail to her father, Marquis Norris, that Richard was going to Basileus Island.

"Well, if Stephanna and I leave, Mei Luo, how can we ensure the safety of you and Marquis Norris?" Richard looked embarrassed.

"Yes, I heard that the Poseidon Sect's stronghold changes location every once in a while. The sooner you go, the better." Mero's father, Marquis Norris, also added.

"As for the safety of Meiro and me, don't worry, I will contact Archduke Fabrico Stark now, and he will give us shelter in a short time!"

Seeing Richard's confused expression, Mei Luo couldn't help but laugh.

"Grand Duke Fabrico Stark is the Grand Duke of the Principality of Lorath, which is equivalent to the King of the Kingdom of Heron."

Richard suddenly realized.

The grand duke of a principality came forward to protect the safety of Mei Luo and her father. He really didn't need to worry about it in a short period of time.

"That's okay! However, Melo and Marquis Norris, I'll send you to the Grand Duke first, and then we'll go to the port of Antwerp." Richard looked around, and the extraordinary power in the Norris mansion was almost exhausted by infighting. .

It was hard for Richard to feel at ease with the remaining knight-level guards.

These people can't protect Mei Luo's safety.

"Then I'll trouble you, Richard! However, you only need to send us to the governor's residence in Norris City." Marquis Norris agreed immediately.

Not only for himself, he also has to consider Mei Luo's safety.

After sending the two of them safely to the Consul's Mansion in Norris City, Richard and Stepina immediately rode on the hippogryph and soared into the sky! ——

Port of Antwerp.

The basement of the Seagull Tavern has undergone special transformation.

The original basement and wine cellar were completely opened up and further expanded to form a site with a height of three meters and an area of ​​three to four hundred square meters.

It is divided into several areas by partition walls and is one of the important strongholds of Poseidon Cult.

A knight with a sinister face was guarding the door of a cell. Inside was a hunched figure, lying on the ground in ragged clothes, with heavy iron shackles tied to his hands and feet.

Judging from the appearance, it is difficult for you to associate a master with strength reaching the level of a great knight with the rickety figure in front of you.

But this is Captain Baloric, a senior captain and navigator, and the one whom Richard wants to rescue during this trip.

I saw a fist-sized black spider crawling out from the vent at the top of the ceiling. After looking around, it quietly crawled towards Captain Baloric who was lying on the ground.

The rustling sound made Captain Baloric, who looked grimy, open his eyes.

"What a big spider! Judging from the patterns on its body, it must be highly poisonous!"

"That's fine! It's better for me to die in the hands of a spider than to die in the hands of these scum from the Poseidon Society!"

But the next second, Captain Baloric was stunned.

Because the spider actually had a small note in its mouth.

After Spider saw Captain Baloric open his eyes, he very cleverly spread the note in front of him.

This is the little shadow spider summoned by Stephana's second talent of witchcraft.

Although this little spider does not have strong attack power, it can naturally switch freely between the real world and the shadow world, making it the best detection expert.

Just now, the little spider from the shadow world bypassed four detection witch formations and three defensive witch formations and found Captain Baloric in this cell.

And the news of finding the target was immediately passed on to its owner, Stephanna.

I saw a few big words written on the note: "Captain Baloric, we are sent by the Norris family to rescue you. Please hide in the corner or under the bed. This note will spontaneously ignite in ten seconds!"

Baloric was excited!

Trembling with excitement!

If you can live, who wouldn't want to live?

"Great! My master didn't give up on me! He came to rescue me!"

"But...what do you mean by asking me to hide?"

Baloric was still confused at this time, maybe because he was too excited and affected his judgment, or maybe because he really didn't understand why the other party reminded him of this matter.

However, as the ten seconds passed, the note suddenly burst into flames.

Baloric decided!

Since the other party reminds him like this, he can just follow it and do it. Why do you think so much?

With the sound of the chains on his hands and feet, Baloric straightened up and leaned on the corner of the cell where the two walls intersected.

At this time, the Hengrou Knight who was guarding the door turned his head, looked into the room, and scolded: "Be honest!"

Suddenly, just as he finished speaking.

Continuous explosions sounded within the stronghold.

"Boom boom boom!"

After a violent explosion, the smoke slowly dissipated, and only a few people were left standing in the entire Poseidon Sect stronghold.

Most of the minions and deacons whose strength is only at the level of formal knights have been wiped out by the explosion of multiple alchemy bombs!

"Who is it!" An old man dressed as a priest rushed out of the room angrily.

But the next second, a black beam of light penetrated his head.

Two figures in black robes slowly emerged from the dust. They were Richard and Stephanie who had been traveling for a long time.

After they arrived at the port of Antwerp, they went directly to the Seagull Tavern without any stop.

This tavern is quite unique. The door number is a number of flying seagulls, which is very easy to find.

Just when Richard and Stepina wanted to enter the basement directly, they found that the entrance to the basement was heavily guarded, mainly by several warning, defense and detection witch formations.

This makes it almost impossible to enter quietly.

It's not that Richard has no ability to force his way in, but the place here is so small that it is impossible for the resentful spirit to accommodate it. Even a blood-and-bone puppet with a height of more than three meters is not enough.

In addition, considering that the main purpose of their trip was to bring back Captain Balorik safely and unscathed, not to massacre members of the Poseidon Cult.

Richard thought about it and decided to let Stephana send the Shadow World Spider first to find out whether Captain Baloric was here.

If so, in what area.

As soon as the little shadow spider encounters the witch formation, it sneaks into the shadow world to dodge or jump, and quickly locks Baloric's position.

Then, there was the big explosion just now, because Richard threw more than ten alchemy combination bombs inside at once.

Directly blow up the stronghold to pieces!

As a result, before the battle began, more than 80% of the entire Poseidon Sect's stronghold protection strength was lost.

The remaining few were solved by Richard's three strikes and five divided by two!

"Captain Baloric?" Stephana stepped forward and asked softly.

"Yes, I am Baloric." Baloric was still a little shocked at this time, as if he was frightened by the big explosion just now.

"We are entrusted by Marquis Norris to rescue you. Now, please come with us!"

"Okay! Okay! But can I trouble you to save the other people in the cell next to them?" Baloric agreed immediately, but after thinking about it, he added another sentence.

"Is there any friend of yours here?"

"Yes, a friend and my first mate Otombo, an orc!" Balorik explained.

"Orc?" Richard was stunned.

Is he the kind of orc he imagined?

He couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Okay! Then bring it with you."

Baloric quickly unlocked the shackles on his hands and feet, and then took Richard and Stephanie to the door of the cell next to them.

A black beam of light immediately blasted open the iron door of the cell!

After a while, a tall figure with light green skin walked out of the cell.

The opponent's face is quite different from that of humans. The mouth is like a pig's and the two fangs on the lower jaw are very eye-catching.

The rest of the body shape is not much different from that of humans.

This orc obviously had an extraordinary relationship with Baloric. When he came out, the first time he saw Baloric he strode forward and gave him a gentle hammer on the chest.

"Smash the damn Poseidon Cult, I'm going to smash their heads!!" The orcs said angrily.

"You will have a chance, but let's leave here first!" Baloric patted the other party's thick shoulder and said.

After all, this is the stronghold of the Poseidon Sect and cannot be stayed for a long time.
