The two sides of the trip were very efficient.

Bikka was very efficient and quickly decided on the way to send Darrow and his party to Arpaiado tomorrow. With Darrow's permission, the Mermaid Anthem was modified with a wind-jet shell, giving it a certain short-distance flight capability.

Not only that, Iht also specially arranged a dozen accompanying personnel to lead Darrow and his party on the Weiba.

It was called "navigation".

"Three cloud officials and two teams of guards will escort them. That prophet is really generous." Darrow threw the list of tomorrow's accompanying personnel on the coffee table and sneered.

Being able to mobilize nearly half of the garrison force at this critical moment shows how wary Iht is of the unknown factors such as Darrow.

"It seems that we have to put on a good show tomorrow." Sophia, who was sitting on the sofa, leaned back, stretched and said, "By the way, what should we do after we arrive at Arpaiado? The sacrificial ceremony will be held in Bika the day after tomorrow. Can we make it back in time?"

Sophia's question is actually the question of everyone present, especially Gwent, who turned his head and looked at Darrow seriously: "What is your plan? You have to tell me the bottom line."

Although she and Darrow are currently in a cooperative state, Gwent also knows that Darrow takes the initiative in this cooperation and all actions must be led by Darrow.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Daro waved his hand, and then did not hide it: "We must go to Arpaiado, otherwise Iht will not be at ease, but she didn't say that we can't come back!"

"I'm afraid she will do something to us. The scepter in her hand can control the shells on the entire island. At that time, she will definitely make the wind-blowing shells on the ship ineffective." Neyoufa leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, looking at the people who were plotting loudly and reminded.

"Really?" Daro raised his eyebrows, but still smiled nonchalantly and said: "But who said that without those wind-blowing shells, the Mermaid Anthem will not fly?"

…………

At the same time, in the temple of Bika.

Except for Neyoufa who was sent out to monitor Daro, the other seven cloud officials and Iht were prostrating in front of a magnificent statue, worshiping devoutly.

"God, please bless your devout believers and let the sacrificial ceremony the day after tomorrow go smoothly." Kneeling on the ground, Yihte prayed with her sharp voice like metal scratching glass.

Unlike the fanaticism of the other cloud officials, Yihte's expression when looking at the statue was very light, and even a bit of teasing could be seen from the corners of her mouth that were slightly raised.

She did not believe in the so-called gods.

I forgot when she began to see the truth about gods and faith - the so-called gods were just lies made up by the superiors in order to better achieve rule, a tool to control the bottom.

And she kept this lie for more than eighty years. During such a long time, she served the so-called gods conscientiously, but the other party never responded and never showed miracles.

She was tired of worshipping a speechless stone statue every day, so she wanted to create a true god for Bika, a leader who could unify Sky Island and lead them back to the land of their ancestors.

Just as the few people finished praying, a clergyman who had been waiting at the door came in and handed a list to Iht: "Prophet, this is the list of newborns this year."

"Okay, you go down." After taking the list, Iht flipped through it casually, waved his hand to dismiss the cloud officials, and came to the side hall alone.

After arriving at the side hall, Iht carefully checked the list in her hand. This sacrificial ceremony was very critical. She was old and didn't have many years to live, so she was eager to cultivate a successor who could inherit her will.

"What a pity... Gwent." Iht murmured in a voice that only she could hear while flipping through the list.

She was regretting that her most admired adopted daughter had disobeyed her orders for some ridiculous reasons. If it hadn't been for that accident and betrayal, Iht would have already completed his rule over the Shandians and the Apajado.

"Victor, Stone, Holkins." Iht frowned as he looked at the names listed on the list, obviously not very satisfied.

The list only includes some newborns born this year, so it is very important to examine the family background of these babies. Of course, those who can appear on the list have clean family backgrounds, but Iht wants more than just cleanliness, she wants hatred.

Only those who have original hatred for the Shandians and the Apayardos are the ones she chooses, so that the future god will have enough motivation to inherit and realize her grand vision.

So she set her goal on a newborn whose father died in the Shandians.

"Enelu, it seems that he will be a good seedling." Iht drew a circle on the list with a feather pen, and if there is no accident, this lucky person will inherit her will and obtain the ancient heritage that Iht obtained from the Bica ruins.

The legendary fruit that rules the sky.

After confirming the candidates, Iht found three cloud officials who will escort Daro and others to Apayardo tomorrow, namely, Wind Cloud Official Kulwin, Mist Cloud Official Huilusi, and Cloud Cloud Official Kenchi.

"Kulwin, Huilus, Kenchi, when you send the Qinghai people to Arpaiado tomorrow, you must always be vigilant. If the other party has any strange behavior, you must report it to me in time." Yihet looked at the three capable men in front of him and warned them with a serious expression.

Kenchi on the other side didn't care, and asked in a puzzled way: "Prophet, is it too much of a fuss for the three of us to guard against a group of Qinghai people?"

As a cloud official with superior strength and status on Bika Island, Kenchi still has some pride in his heart. Therefore, after seeing that the prophet he respected was so cautious with a group of Qinghai people, he showed some indignation.

In his opinion, no matter how strong this group of Qinghai people is, they can't be against the combined forces of several cloud officials.

"Hmph, what do you know!" Iht scolded immediately, and then looked around at the three cloud officials with a serious expression, and warned very solemnly:

"That group of Qinghai people is a very big threat to the sacrificial ceremony the day after tomorrow, so you must be extremely alert and pay attention to me at all times. Be sure to bring them to Apayard Island and make sure they will not return to Bika."

After a scolding, the three cloud officials did not dare to relax any more, and each of them promised to successfully complete this mission.

"But how can we guarantee that they will not return to Bika?" Hui Lusi, the only female among the three cloud officials, asked somewhat puzzled. After all, they could not stay in Apayard, so how could they guarantee that Daro and others would not return the same way?

"I tampered with the wind-blowing shells on their ship. As long as they arrive at Apayard, those wind-blowing shells will die directly, and then they will not be able to return even if they want to." Kurwin said with some pride.

"Well done!" Ihate nodded and praised, looking quite satisfied with Kurwin's arrangement, but she was cautious by nature and still felt that it was not safe enough, so she turned her head and told the people beside her:

"Kench, tomorrow you try to take a detour halfway, and you can also use the Viyunbei to create some obstacles so that they can't figure out the route from Bika to Arpaiado..."

"Huilus, you can do the same, you can use the Huanxiabei to create some false road signs..."

Ihate is indeed a shrewd old man, almost setting traps for Daro and others, but how could she have thought that the non-mainstream pink-haired girl she met at the party...

knows her well.
