Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 765 The Call From Afar

After the meeting, Lu Xiang and Song Lan split into two groups. One went to the garbage dump to investigate the existence of Mechanicus, and the other lay down on the bed to sleep.

But this time, Song Lan emphasized that he was not being lazy, but was doing business.

At this moment, the "Emperor" who is far away in Silver Moon Harbor is also doing business.

He met with Cuenca privately.

When we first met, the rebel leader of the expeditionary force was full of vigilance and hostility towards him, but after he made it clear that he came, the other party thought twice, and finally put aside their grievances with the coalition government, and began to face the situation before them. question.

"Half a month ago, I met Archbishop Heriffes and the head of the First Legion of the Barossa Group. They hoped that we could establish a defense line in the coastal area centered on Silvermoon Harbor."

Kunka said solemnly.

Recently, he has been working on the construction of the coastal defense line, but the "Emperor" brought another bad news.

Some kind of unknown mechanical plague invaded Silvermoonport, and Father Gordel became an infected object. His hollowed out heart mutated into a gear set, which was the transition from flesh and blood to machinery.

And Father Gaudel himself is the representative in Silvermoon Harbor selected by the Tidal Church.

Heriffes said that the Tide Lord they serve is related to the distortion structure in the mine pit and the "whisper" from the void. It is very likely that it is also the masterpiece of "Father God" just like the plants that ravaged the first area one.

It has existed even longer than humans.

"What are you going to do?"

He threw these difficult problems to the "Emperor", and wanted to hear how the six-star savior of the coalition government would choose when faced with these difficult problems.

"Get me a boat, I'm going to sea."

"Emperor" expressed his intention.

Since he left District [-], he hadn't heard the voice of the "Genius Mechanic Girl" for a long time. She seemed to be throwing a tantrum, and she was in a state of cold war with him, so he could only follow Go to the Misty Islands on your own instinct.

The fleeing high-ranking members had already arrived at their destination, and his intuition told him that the answer he wanted to find was hidden there.

"You want to go to sea?"

Kunka couldn't believe his ears. Heriffes and the head of the first army of the Barossa Group repeatedly told him not to go to sea, because there were hidden dangers hidden there, "With all due respect, this is not a wise decision. Rather than dying in vain, it is better to stay in the port and help us strengthen our defense."

He believes that with the addition of the "Emperor", the local defense force will be upgraded to another level.

"I have decided."

The "Emperor" said lightly that he would not stop his footsteps because of danger, and deep down in his heart, he had always had doubts about the death of the botanist Trian.

Someone didn't want Trian to tell herself what she knew.

"It seems that you are not a person who will listen to persuasion... Well, I can prepare a boat and supplies for you to go to sea, but whether you can cross the unknown sea depends on your own ability."

"Thanks."

After bidding farewell to Kunca, the "Emperor" began preparations for going to sea.

He entrusted "Seagull" to find a crew member from the Church of Tides. He had completed a voyage across unknown seas with the ship. Of course, the price the crew member asked was very high, high enough for an ordinary person to stay away from these right and wrong places and find a peaceful little place. Live in peace for the rest of your life.

"Seagull" did not come to say goodbye to him.

Because in her opinion, this is a life-threatening errand, and only those who have the idea of ​​"going home after doing this job" are willing to take the risk.

As for the "emperor", she was already speechless to this reckless person.

She sincerely hoped that the other party could stay in Silver Moon Harbor for a long time and regard it as her home.

"Clothes, food, water, and a case of rum..."

The man in his early 40s, with a hooked nose, cloudy eyes, and a thin figure like a scarecrow inspected the supplies on the ship, and said darkly, "This is not good, you still lack some of the most critical things."

"what?"

"Sacrifice."

Suddenly there was light in the muddy eyes, "Only sacrifices can let the Lord of the Tides guide our way forward."

Another sacrifice?

When they were in the first district before, the members of the fishing boat club dedicated those innocent company employees as sacrifices to their "gods" all the year round, and Trian called this ceremony the ceremony of becoming a god.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly realized that the name of the Fishing Boat Club itself is closely related to the sea. Perhaps the believers of the Tidal Church have also completed the ceremony of becoming a god in this land, and shared their successful experience with the first District councilors.

In the deepest part of this sea area, there is likely to be a god in perfect form who has passed the rite of becoming a god.

After a pause for a while, the "Emperor" said, "There are no sacrifices, this is all our supplies."

"No offerings?"

The crew members of the Church of Tides widened their eyes, "The master would not want to hear such an answer, listen to the iron lump, this is not discussing with you, you will definitely not be able to reach the Misty Islands without sacrifices, as for the sacrifices... the master likes 20 Under the age of [-], it is best to have the kind with thin skin and tender meat."

He does want to make a big deal, but that doesn't mean he wants to commit suicide, "There are many orphans in Silver Moon Harbor, and if you take one away, they won't find out. If you really can't find an orphan, just go It should not be difficult for you to catch one from any family."

"I said, there is no sacrifice, just go to sea like this."

"That's no good, I won't follow you to die, you don't know what will happen if you offend the master!"

The crew stared at the "Emperor", secretly thinking about the possibility of not refunding the reward. After all, he had pointed out a clear way for the other party, and it was the layman who refused to follow the advice of an insider.

"I'll go with you."

Just when the two were at a stalemate, a familiar voice came into their ears.

The "Emperor" followed the prestige and found that Diego was carrying a big bag and appeared at the pier in the middle of the night. He was wearing an old cloak, half of his face was covered.

"Isn't this coming?"

The crew whistled, and he raised his hands to welcome Diego's arrival. He guessed that the kid probably didn't hear the conversation in front of them, and regarded it as an ordinary ocean voyage, "Boy, you're here It's time, we're going to sea soon."

The "Emperor" stopped in front of the boat and Diego, "Go back."

He saw everything in the Emmanuel Troupe, including how Diego's companions were thrown into the sea as sacrifices.

He's going to the Misty Isles to find the truth, but he doesn't take the innocent port orphans as victims.

"This is the guidance of Father God, and He will protect us from reaching the Misty Islands safely."

Diego looked firm, "Even if you don't want to take me out to sea, I will find a way to go to the Misty Islands by myself."

"Emperor" felt that things were becoming more and more subtle.

The god of flesh and blood, the mechanical plague, and now he is regarded as the father god by the Lingguang Theater Troupe.

The battle between the three parties has become fierce and is about to be put on the table.

But before that, he had to figure out one thing, "Are you referring to your 'Father God', or His messenger?"

"This is a mission entrusted to me by God the Father himself. He also taught everyone how to make seaweed rice balls."

As he said that, Diego proudly took out a bag of the fruits of their labor all afternoon.

This is everyone's preparations for him to go to sea.

Although these rice balls seem to be just ordinary food, they really feel that God the Father is with them, and different from the high gods in the legends, God the Father has walked into their lives.

How to make seaweed rice balls...

"Emperor" looked at the rice ball in Diego's hand dumbfounded. This is indeed the style of the father god they said, but let a child who has just recovered from a serious injury go to sea?

Could it be that he misunderstood the other party, that he is actually as ruthless as other gods?
"Hurry up, are you going to dawdle until dawn?"

The crew of the Church of Tides urged them impatiently. He was afraid that the "emperor" would scare away the sacrifice that came to his door. After all, this mechanical bump didn't seem to be very smart.

The "Emperor" ignored the crew and asked, "Can you still hear his voice now?"

"can hear."

Diego said, "Father God put me on board."

Seeing his resolute attitude, the "Emperor" finally had to make concessions, because he knew these orphans, even if he left Diego on the shore, the latter would probably find another boat to go to sea alone.

With the roar of the engine, the ship left the dock.

The two stayed in the cabin, and Diego shared a rice ball prepared by his companions to the "Emperor". For "rare delicacy".

The cabin was surprisingly quiet. They all knew that this was the last silence before the storm. Only the crew members stayed on the deck alone, performing some pilgrimage rituals that they could not understand.

This kind of silence didn't last long. When the outline of Silvermoon Harbor disappeared, the sky above their heads also changed.

Red clouds shrouded their heads, and the scarlet light ball behind the clouds made it hard to tell whether it was the sun or the moon.

A strange red light sprinkled on the sea.

After a while, the crew exclaimed from outside the cabin.

The "Emperor" rushed out of the room first, and found that the crew members were staying on the edge of the deck, staring at the sea in horror. He walked forward and found that something was slowly drifting towards them along the waves.

From its exposed part, it is not difficult to guess how huge this creature is.

The "Emperor" was ready for battle, watching the creature get closer and closer to them, and then... passed the entire ship, and when it floated to the side of the ship, he saw that it was indeed some kind of Unknown sea creature, or more precisely a part of it.

This part seemed to be cut off by some kind of sharp object, and his prosthetic eyes keenly captured the explosives remaining in the flesh and some mechanical parts that had never been seen before.

And at this moment, the terrified crew members finally calmed down and shouted at the two of them in a tone of shock and anger, "Someone, someone killed the master's emissary, who did it? Who is it?"

Before the words fell, more and more "floating objects" on the sea were approaching them.

They just scattered on the surface of the sea so quietly, obviously they have completely lost their vitality.

　Small theater its 160 II:

　　On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, Monday evening.

　　That night, Lu Xiang finally showed her true intentions. The destination of the suspension car was a brightly lit amusement park. She looked at the amusement park through the car window, excitedly as if returning to her childhood.

　　"I've wanted to come here for a long time!"

　　She said.

　　For a moment, Song Lan couldn't tell whether it was the light from the amusement park reflected in her pupils, or whether there was light in Lu Xiang's eyes.

　　Thinking about it carefully, he really never accompanied Lu Xiang to the amusement park in a serious way. He didn't expect that a person as cold as Lao Lu would be interested in the amusement park.

　　After getting off the suspension car, Lu Xiang dragged Song Lan straight to the carousel in the playground.

　　This is their first stop of the day and the highlight of tonight.

　　"Have you ever heard of the legend of the carousel?"

　　After standing in the long queue, she turned around and asked Song Lan.

　　The carousel is one of the most popular rides at the amusement park, but there are far more young couples queuing than children.

　　"No."

　　"It is said that those who truly love each other will get the blessing of fate if they sit on the merry-go-round."

　　Looking at the excited Lu Xiang, Song Lan had to admire her courage - she was really not afraid of being bumped into by acquaintances when she was excited.

　　Having said that, Lu Xiang suddenly paused and asked, "Do you think fate will bless us?"

　　"meeting."

　　Answer without hesitation, this question is not difficult for Song Lan.

　　"Are you so sure?"

　　"Ah."
