The little pastor is taking care of the weirdness of divinity

Chapter 154: Contain the Gods Unless the Pirate King Reappears (Added 5k updates for [Dulu-Lula])

The brown-skinned boy recounted:
"To our south and north, there are three heretical countries that claim to believe in the Lord of Punishment as we do, but violate the teachings of the God of Justice. To our east, there is an evil empire ruled by the King of Darkness. The King of Darkness Claiming to be the King of Kings, and spying on this pure land blessed by our Lord, the Holy Khalid, he started a war, plundered our land, and enslaved our people.

"So, the high priest of our kingdom presided over a prayer ceremony, praying to the God of Justice for the power of the Lord of Punishment. The Lord of Punishment held a sword and fought fiercely with the dark King of Kings in the kingdom of heaven, fighting from dusk to dawn the next day!
"Finally, the Lord of Punishment pierced the chest of the Lord of Darkness with the sword of justice, shattered his kingdom in the sky [Iron Court] with his war hammer, and then called out the storm to extinguish the dark sun!"

After hearing this story, Chabron's face was full of admiration and he clapped repeatedly:
"Wow, it sounds like your god is very powerful!"

See how this black-haired foreigner revered the power of the "Lord of Punishment", the god of justice.The brown-skinned Qingjun boy's voice became more confident, and he continued:
"This battle was just two weeks ago! Now, the defeated Dark King is fleeing in panic, and his mortal empire is also terrified because of this. The black army no longer dares to touch the promised land of the Lord of Punishment - the Holy Ha Lide. What I said is absolutely true. Guest, if you know the situation in the Eastern Continent, you will know that the empire has been in chaos recently and its army has stopped moving forward."

Chabron applauded one after another, was full of praise, nodded and thanked:
"Thank you for telling me about the great deeds of so many of our gods."

The brown-skinned boy thought of something again, handed over a meat bun, and said:
"This is a popular food in Sharjah recently, you can try it."

Chabron waved down the boy's offer.He gave another thumbs up, praised the God of Justice for his power in punishing the lord, waved goodbye to the boy, turned and left, with a faint smile on his lips.

The boy looked at Xia Bulin's leaving figure, picked up the meat bun, and started chewing it.

The tender and juicy meat in this meat bun made the dark-skinned boy feel endless aftertaste, as if his soul and body were both bathed in the light of the gods.The meat jumped and squirmed in his mouth.The boy's hands were shaking and he was crying.In the poor Khalid Kingdom, the taste of meat is not cheap, and he has never seen such delicious meat in his life - until recently, he had the opportunity to eat this delicacy that seemed to come from heaven...

Chabron left the port and asked the elf archer Shava Liaton to help contact the crew of the Mercury Crown in Sharjah.

Nemo followed Chabron all the way - he seemed to have become Chabron's follower. He had a good impression of the "Master Hilbert" who had been attracted to him since he boarded the ship. He talked, laughed and made jokes along the way.

Under the blazing midday sun of the Eastern Continent, the air was as dull as solidified gel.

Compared to the prosperity of Rainbow Castle, the capital of Star King, the Eastern Continent is much poorer, with dark-skinned beggars and homeless people living in fear on the streets.

From a distance, Chabron saw a group of people wearing various clothes approaching the beggars and vagrants along the street and throwing a few pieces of red meat to them.

The beggars' eyes suddenly shone brightly. They cheered and grabbed food, opened their mouths to breathe heavily, and drooled uncontrollably.As soon as they grabbed the meat, they put it into their mouths as if they were tasting some exquisite delicacies.

Is this a religious humanitarian organization?Chamberlain thought.

At this moment, Chabron, who carefully observed the scene, suddenly discovered——

These pieces of meat were translucent in his sight!
Could this be... food made by a certain God's chosen one using divine magic?Or is there another source?

Paying more attention these days, Chabron squinted his eyes.

Then, Chabron and Nemo checked into the largest "Yellow Sand Fox" hotel in Sharjah City - the elf captain Samir Night Breeze and many passengers from the Sea Pearl also stayed here temporarily for one night.

Chabron stayed alone in his room, slowly waiting for the arrival of Michelle and other colleagues.

During this period, he recalled the words of the brown-skinned boy, and seemed to remember something, so he took out a few pieces of yellowed diary paper from the [Dimensional Bag].

This is the diary of Antinoa Moon Whisper!
Two weeks ago, Chabran got a few things left to him by Miss Druid Antinoah on the 666th floor of Hongbao, a thousand-story city.Among them, the few pieces of paper stored in the ebony box that originally belonged to the necromancer Ai were the diary of the druid master Antinoah!

These scattered diaries are yellowed and wrinkled, and the cracks are uneven, as if they were torn from the diaries.The text above is a secret text designed in twelve languages ​​including Elvish, Dragon, Celestial, and Druid.As a master of ceremonies, Chabran used various prophecy and divination rituals such as [Language Proficiency], [Hand of Destiny], and [Prophecy], combined with magical magic to strengthen thinking, and the blessing of [Learning of Souls], spent It took more than two weeks to decipher most of them.

Antinoa actually has the habit of writing a diary just like him!Chamberlain thought.

The young man's fingers passed through the yellowed paper, as if many years had passed, and he met the rebellious Elf Druid lady again:
"・・・"

"On the 18th of the Gilded Moon, because I helped Marina Xinglu collect the history of the thousand-year war between dragons and giants. As a reward, she told me that the Nine Gods are just a summary of the gods by scholars in the Western Continent. The actual number of true gods is Maybe not nine.

"For example, the [Lord of Punishment], one of the nine gods believed by several small countries in the Eastern Continent, may have actually fallen long ago! And the recent oracles of the [God of Machine] are also contradictory. Marina is not optimistic about his current situation. status.

"Calling the Nine Gods together does not mean that they are parallel. The gap between powerful gods and weak gods is even wider than the gap between powerful gods and top mortals.

"She also put forward a hypothesis that many of the Nine Gods may be just lucky survivors of the battle between the living and the dead at the beginning of distant time. This explains a question that has always puzzled me - why the Nine Gods have the power of the gods Very irregular and weird handle distribution?

"There are no gods corresponding to common concepts such as harvest, agriculture, hunting, family, chaos, etc. The only death god is a dead maiden who is kind to the poor, and the only life god is a terrible and deformed great mother. And ▉ Dark Dreams , Eternal Light, and Mechanical God all actually master the [Knowledge Field].

"But the living and the dead are fighting. What does this mean? I asked Marina Xinglu, but she just laughed and said nothing. Hum, I will definitely give her a beating when I come into contact with [Legendary Destiny] in the future!"

"..."

"On the 22nd day of the Violet Moon, after mastering the Nine Rings of Natural God, I vaguely sensed that a strange force in my body was throbbing and waking up. But it was still very weak and difficult to control."

"..."

"On the 6th of the Aless Moon, I successfully activated the mysterious power I had noticed before! When I touched the artifact forged by the God of Justice [Lord of Punishment], the surging invisible wave bloomed from my hand and was briefly suppressed. The ability of the artifact. But it only lasted a few seconds. This is definitely not the magic of the Druid!

"After I tried many times, I couldn't reproduce this miracle. To master this mysterious power, it may take many years of training."

"..."

"On the 14th of the Emerald Moon, thanks to Marina's help, I finally found a page of the pirate king's logbook from more than 1000 years ago. This pirate king actually had the same habit of keeping a diary as me!

"I had a strange and ominous feeling, as if he, like me, was waiting for someone."

"..."

"On the 1st of the Silver Moon, the Ancient Wisdom Tree of [Emerald Heart] shared some of its underlying memories with me, and my consciousness spanned the long river of time——

"Did the term [Ancient Covenant] only appear in the third era? Because mortals believe that if the gods cannot physically enter the mortal world, they must be limited by the covenant between them - the contract of the gods itself has power, so it is took this name.

"In more ancient times, this shackles that bound the gods were called [Night Come].

“As agreed, I shared this information with Marina Stardew, and after communicating with the board of directors of [Pangloss Corporation], she came back with another idea:
"If the gods cannot enter the mortal world, does that mean someone has tried to contain them?
“And the strange, gorgeous and magnificent afterlife is the gorgeous prison where the gods are imprisoned.

"..."

With a solemn look on his face, Chabron put the diary paper away again.Summarizing the key points in my mind:
Maybe the disciplinary lord believed in by the four small countries in the Eastern Continent has fallen long ago?

Pirate King Nemo and Antinoa wrote diaries like themselves?
Antinoah Moon Whisper also briefly awakened a power similar to [The Blasphemer] but failed to master it?

[Yelin], is this another name for [Ancient Covenant]?
He pondered the meaning of the new words mentioned in his diary:

"The shackles that bound the gods were once called [Night Come]? In the diary, this word is composed of a word that represents [Dark Night], plus a word that represents [Advent].

"If translated literally into English...
"Nightfall?"
-
In the lobby of the "Blazing Rose" hotel three blocks away from the "Yellow Sand Fox" hotel.

The elf Shava Liaton is conveying the commission request of "Mage Hilbert" (Xia Bron) to the crew of the Mercury Crown, asking them to take him to the center of the Sea of ​​Storms to find the mysterious island of Art where the legendary Pirate King once arrived. Landis.

"Sorry, as I said, I do not accept this commission to go to the center of the Storm Sea. I have sworn before that I will never participate in any stupid adventures related to [the Pirate King's Treasure] again."

The wizard on board the Mercury Crown, the storm warlock Heloise Whistling, sat by the window and shook her head, her long watery blue hair swaying gently, and she continued:

"Who knows how true this legend is? Who knows whether the Pirate King really left behind a treasure? I'm afraid only the Pirate King himself comes back from the dead can the treasure he left behind be recovered!"

Next to Heloise Whistle is Boris, the boatswain of the Mercury Crown.

Boris desperately winked at the ship's wizard, Heloise Howling, but the blue-haired storm warlock lady didn't seem to notice.

Elf Archer Shava Liaton shrugged and spread his hands:

"Ah, in that case, there is nothing I can do. I will convey your words to Hilbert."

After saying this, Shava Liaton turned and left, saying goodbye to them.

After the wood elf lady left, Boatswain Boris sighed.Afterwards, he complained rather dissatisfiedly to Miss Ship Witch and Storm Warlock Heloise Whistling:

"Heloise, what are you doing? Neither the ship owner nor the captain had any objections before. How can the Mercury Crown go to the Sea of ​​Storms if you, the onboard wizard who controls the storm, don't go?"

After listening to Boris's words, a look of anger appeared on Heloise's pretty face. She turned her head and glared at Bosun Boris:

"Boris! You clearly know that [the Pirate King's treasure] is just a mythical legend. He may not have buried a treasure in Atlantis at all, so why do we still accept such a boring commission!"

Boris shrugged, crossed his legs, a look of yearning and excitement appeared on his face, and said:
"This is not the first time that our Mercury Crown has accepted such a commission! Just like before - the adventurers on land heard the legend of the Pirate King and hired us.

"When they reach the Sea of ​​Storms and find that they really can't cross the legendary natural barrier, they will naturally retreat. We can collect a lot of money by simply sending them back and forth... "

As he spoke, Boris couldn't help but smile.

Before Boris could finish speaking, Heloise Whistling's expression turned gloomy, like the sea surface when a storm was about to break out and the storm was about to come.Miss Storm Warlock's aqua-blue hair floated on its own under the influence of storm magic, with silver lightning snakes scurrying on it. She almost roared:
"Boris! You have the nerve to say that you have forgotten what happened the last time we tried to go to the Sea of ​​Storms? A gunner of the Mercury Crown, an armed sailor of the Mercury Crown, and the two adventurers who hired us all Lost his life in that adventure.”

(This incident can be found in Chapter 1 of the second volume of this book)
After another half an hour, Miss Heloise Whistling's voice, like the howling of a storm, finally calmed down a lot. She breathed a long sigh of relief and asked Bosun Boris:
"Are we going to deceive the adventurers on land for that little money? Because they believe in such a false legend, we will put them and our sailors into danger in vain, and even lose their lives?"

Boris was speechless, turned his head away, and stopped talking.

The crew of the Mercury Crown traveling with Heloise Howl did not know that Heloise Howl knew the legend of the Pirate King better than any of them!

She knew from the beginning that the "Pirate King's Treasure" probably didn't exist at all!
What few people know is that the former Wind Elemental Prince, the ancestor of the Whistling Family, a warlock family in the northern part of the Star Kingdom of the Western Continent, knows the legendary Pirate King better than almost all mortals in the world.

In the childhood of Heloise Whoops, in the sacred place of the Howler family, before falling asleep at night.The little girl once dragged her blue hair to say hello to the "ancestors" in the crystal bottle.

She listened to the warm breeze in the bottle and told the story of a navigator named Nemo more than 1000 years ago.The low hum in the wind seemed to span more than 10 centuries, allowing the girl to relive the epic of Nemo, the hero of the previous era.With such a narrator who cannot be defeated by time, the miracles and bravery of the heroes of the past transcend the confinement of time and accompany the young girl to sleep quietly...

Thinking of this, Heloise's eyes dimmed, and she immediately returned to reality.

It was evening at this time, and the dim light fell on the street.Heloise Whoops happened to see a group of people wearing strange clothes walking outside the door of the "Fire Rose" hotel.

Heloise remembered that this was a charity organization that she saw after the ship docked in Sharjah, which distributed relief food to the poor.But the weird thing is that their relief food almost only consists of various meat products.

Heloise thought of the story that the weak breeze in the bottle had told her in the family sanctuary in the past, and she had a vague feeling of bad premonition.
"I'm going out for a walk." Heloise Whoops said to Boris. She stood up, her aqua-blue hair hanging down like a waterfall.Ms. Storm Warlock blessed herself with [Mage Armor], compressing the air into crystals and turning it into a protective armor comparable to steel.He also recited a spell and cast [Invisibility Technique] to distort the path of light in the air, making his body disappear and melt into the air.

Then, Heloise walked out of the hotel door and plunged into the dim twilight.She quietly followed this group of strange people.
