Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

......

When most of the passengers and crew fell into a deep sleep, the escorting fleet was still moving forward in the darkness. While ensuring the course, the sailors on duty were also guarding the wide and dark sea, paying attention to the darkness. Will there be other ships, and pay attention to all possible situations.

As the night deepened, sleepiness gradually dissipated in the fleet, and even the sailors on duty yawned from time to time in the midst of their boring work, and what spread with this sleepiness was From the mist on the dark sea far away.

I don't know when it started, a faint water vapor gradually diffused on the sea surface the fleet was heading for, and as time passed, the water vapor gradually became thicker, and slowly formed a sea fog.

Regarding the formation of sea fog, although the sailors on duty at the beginning were aware of it, they didn't pay much attention to it. Fog on the sea is a normal phenomenon, and it is not surprising.

But with the passage of time, the fog became thicker and wider, and something unexpected happened. On the ships of the fleet, the lights hanging everywhere suddenly sounded like an alarm bell. The sailors were suddenly alarmed by the siren, and they took their weapons and went to the location where the light of Hui Jian said, and then they found that almost all of the light of the light found abnormal spiritual traces at the same time, the abnormal "cup" and " The Spirit of the Lamp.

Seeing the warning from Hui Jian Deng, all the sailors immediately went on high alert, and began to try to find where the abnormal spiritual traces were. After searching for a long time, they couldn't find it. In the end, it was the temporary command of the fleet. The officer discovered all these unusual clues.

"Fog, it's fog! There is something wrong with this fog, it was created by extraordinary ability! It is very likely that it is a water magician!"

On the deck of the flagship Boone, the temporary commander activated his own spiritual vision, looked at the surrounding thick fog and said loudly, and then immediately gave orders.

"We have been attacked by the enemy! All ships pay attention! Use the Exhale Talisman to blow away the fog!"

Soon, the temporary commander's order was conveyed to the entire fleet, and all the escorting ships took out a kind of "shadow" symbol and spiritual storage stored in their reserves, and after using them, they called out bursts of screams. The strong wind, the sea fog dispersed among the fleet was blown away by the strong wind for a while.

This is the Sigil of the Exhaling Wind, which can summon strong winds to disperse sea fog and counteract harsh natural winds. It has many functions at sea, so it is always prepared in the church's fleet, and now is the time for it to play its role.

Accompanied by gusts of strong winds, the original sea fog was forcibly blown away, and the temporary commander standing on the deck mobilized his spirituality, using the black earth steps that could understand and see things clearly at night." He stared at the sea surface where the mist was gradually dissipating. He wanted to see where the Extraordinary who was using his ability was? Are there other ships approaching without being noticed.

Then no matter how much the interim commander observed, he didn't see any other unusual ships approaching his side, which made him a little confused for a while.

'There are no other ships approaching... Where the hell is this esper? Where are the attackers hiding!?'

Looking at the endless dark sea, the temporary commander thought in confusion, but at this moment, due to the depletion of the spiritual reserves, the strong wind that came calling gradually began to stop, and what the temporary commander did not expect Yes, not long after the wind stopped, water vapor gradually began to appear around the fleet again. The faint water vapor gradually rose from the dark sea surface, and gradually became thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye. A round of sea fog gradually took shape.

After seeing this scene, the interim commander couldn't help being startled, and the feeling of something bad in his heart became more and more intense.

"Here again? Such a large-scale sea fog, do they still have the spirituality to create it? This is the participation of a white-level Extraordinary, and there may be more than one!"

Facing the thick fog rising in front of him, the temporary commander thought sternly in his heart, after confirming that the other party had a Cretaceous Extraordinary, his heart immediately sank.

He knows very well that there is not a single Cretaceous Beyonder in his fleet now, and if the other side really has multiple Cretaceous Water Sorcerers, then the situation on his side will become dire Extremely severe.

"Do you still have the Breathing Talisman?"

"Without Your Excellency, both the talisman and the storage have been used up, and there are only five in total."

The interim commander asked the sailor beside him, and the other party answered helplessly. After listening to the sailor's words, the interim commander couldn't help but pause. He looked at the thicker sea fog on the sea surface and his expression became more serious.

"Since those guys are water magicians who can create sea fog, they might hide in the sea and notify the Stone Steps and Carving Tombs to release depth charges!"

The interim commander said so, and soon his order was conveyed to the two destroyers at the rear of the fleet, and the sailors immediately gathered at the stern of the ship, throwing cylindrical depth charges one after another. After entering the sea, huge splashes of water were blown up on the surface of the sea where the fleet traveled.

Accompanied by the explosion of the explosives in the sea, the not-too-loud buzzing explosion sounded continuously, but the surrounding fog did not weaken with the sound of the explosion, but instead became stronger and stronger. Seeing this scene , everyone knows that the depth charges will not have much effect on the diving Canglangsingers.

"Depth charges... are mostly used against large sea monsters, not very useful for water spells that can get close to potential ships... this bomb is too far away from them to hurt them them......

"Damn it, if only Mr. Joad and the others were here, at least they could use the boiling bottom to teach those guys a lesson!"

Seeing that the depth charges had no effect on the fog, the interim commander couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, because without Bai's presence, many key functions on the escort fleet could not be activated, which caused them great passiveness.

The enemy may be lurking underwater, but the people on the fleet have no good countermeasures. They can only watch helplessly as the fog around them gets thicker and their visibility gets lower and lower, and they can't even see into the distance gradually. The lights of the companion's ship were lit.

Facing the growing fog, the temporary commander had no choice but to order all the warships in the fleet to activate the flare lamps that can only be illuminated by consuming spirituality, and to penetrate the thick sea fog with light countless times stronger than ordinary gas lamps , In this deep fog, the only thing the sailors on the battleship can see outside the ship is the dim lights of friendly ships nearby. Thanks to this dazzling strong light, they will not be unable to recognize each other and Communicate, so that we won't fight on our own in this dense fog.

The fleet was sailing in the thick sea fog. Facing the strange fog, all the sailors couldn't help but tense up. They focused on guarding the surroundings, for fear that an enemy would suddenly appear from somewhere while taking advantage of the thick fog. From their point of view, the enemy must have wanted to launch a surprise attack by creating such a large sea fog, so they gathered together and held weapons in their hands to guard in all directions.

The interim commander, like the sailors, was holding weapons to beware of enemies that might appear from any place at any time, but as time passed, no enemies appeared, and there was silence in the sea fog.

There was no surprise attack, no destruction. Although the thick sea fog covered everything, there was not a single attack or battle in the fog. Although everyone was highly vigilant about the dense fog around them, the dense fog Apart from blocking the line of sight, the show didn't show any danger. If it wasn't for the reminder from Kami Lamp, they would have almost regarded it as a general sea fog.

In this way, time passed by every minute and every second, and when everyone was a little bit confused about this nothing, the fog actually began to gradually fade away.

Visible to the naked eye, the thick sea fog quickly thinned out, and within a few minutes, the fog covering the entire fleet disappeared, and the sailors could see the friendly ships in the distance again. With ordinary lights, the fog before the method has never been produced. Faced with this situation, everyone couldn't help being surprised.

"What's going on? Why did the fog just dissipate like this? Didn't those guys take advantage of the fog to do something?"

Facing this scene, the interim commander murmured in confusion, and then he began to focus on the other ships of the friendly forces in the dark, and he needed to confirm their losses.

And after he confirmed this, the whole person froze in place.

The entire fleet consisted of nine different ships, so the temporary commander looked out from his own ship and could see eight lights on the dark sea, but now, he could only see five.

Among the nine ships in the fleet, three were directly missing in the thick fog, and the three passenger ships that were not equipped with flares were missing, and the pilgrims that the escorts were supposed to protect were missing.

The three passenger ships that the pilgrims took disappeared inexplicably in the thick fog. The only thing left on the scene was the escort fleet that was almost intact.

This time the escort mission was a complete failure.

......

At this moment, in the distance of the church fleet, three passenger ships lined up continued to sail on the sea surface. Driven by a strange current, these three ships got out of the fog a long time ago, and traveled all the way. sailed so far.

At this time, on the deck of the passenger ship, the sailors who couldn't find the escort ship fell into chaos. They looked around, trying to find traces of the lost fleet. Suddenly, a jet of water sprayed from the sea surface. , and this water column fell on the deck of the passenger ship, bringing not only sea water, but also a figure, a male figure with a shirtless upper body.

A muscular man in his thirties, covered in sea water, with disheveled hair, and bare-chested, stood up slowly under the watchful eyes of the sailors, and then spoke in a steady voice.

"From now on, these three ships will be taken over by us. Glory warriors, don't resist, we don't intend to hurt anyone right now, as long as you cooperate with us, everyone will live in peace."

Chapter 420 Four Natsuki

Under the dark night, on the vast sea, the three pilgrim liners that had just emerged from the thick fog were slowly driving on the calm and fogless sea at this time, and the church fleet that was supposed to protect them, at this time It has completely disappeared, the three passenger ships at this time, to those with ulterior motives, the three passenger ships at this time are just like fish to be slaughtered.

On the deck of a passenger ship, several sailors were lying motionless on the deck at this time, their bodies and even the deck were wet, and from the slightly rising and falling chests of these sailors, it could be judged that they were not dead, but He lost consciousness. Behind these sailors, there were several crew members squatting tremblingly. They all knelt on the ground and raised their hands in panic.

In front of these crew members, among the unconscious sailors, stood a man in his thirties who was wearing only a pair of leather pants, with his upper body and feet bare, black hair scattered and stubble growing. , He looked at the scene in front of him with indifferent eyes, and remained silent.

At this moment, there was a sound of waves in the sea where the boat was lying, and then a figure jumped out of the sea, rushed out of the sea like some fish and landed on the deck of the boat. Looking closely, it was a person who was also wearing only a pair of The young man in the trousers, he stood up immediately after falling to the ground, and then opened his mouth to his companion.

"Bahoda, the other two ships have been controlled by us, and now these glorious pilgrims have all fallen into our hands."

Using a language that the crew at the scene couldn't understand, the young man spoke to the middle-aged man with disheveled hair, and the man turned his gaze away after listening, and then spoke in a calm tone.

"Hmm...Thank you for your hard work, Su Kai. How was the resistance you encountered? Were any of our people injured? How were their casualties?"

"The resistance is very weak. They don't have strong fighters on board. We took them all down without much effort. Our fighters didn't suffer any damage, but they injured many people, and they were simply vulnerable."

The young man named Su Kai spoke to Bahoda like this, with a hint of complacency in his expression, and Bahoda nodded slightly in satisfaction after learning about the damage, and then continued to speak.

"That's right, let the crew members turn around and drive the ship back... The speed must be fast, we must leave this sea area immediately before the glow reacts."

"Understood, I'll go and tell everyone." Saying that, Su Kai walked to the edge of the railing of the deck, ready to jump directly, but at this time Bahoda stopped him and shouted.

"By the way, among those injured, if there is a serious injury, you can deal with him so that he will not die directly because of the deterioration of the injury."

"Help them deal with their wounds... Bahoda, these guys are people from the Radiance, they are our enemies. After we came up, we warned them not to take action directly. It is already enough to save face, and now we have to help them deal with it." Wound!?"

Listening to Bahoda's words, Su Kai spread his arms and said in confusion, while Bahoda replied to Su Kai with a serious tone.

"They are indeed enemies, but now they are more useful alive than dead. At this stage, it is best not to die. Every time they have more people, we have a little more weight."

Bahoda said this to Su Kai, and after listening to Bahoda's words, Su Kai paused slightly, and then he simply responded without arguing, then turned around and jumped into the sea from the deck .

After Su Kai left, Bahoda turned his gaze to the trembling crew members not far away, and then spoke in Ivig language.

"Okay, now please return to your posts and perform your duties. We are going to change course."

......

The vastness and boundlessness of the ocean is its most attractive charm. Countless adventure stories take the sea as the background, precisely because their vastness and mystery contain infinite possibilities. From ancient times to the present, countless adventurers have explored the sea. Tireless exploration, but even today, there are still many secrets in the sea that have not been known, even including the more familiar sea of ​​conquest.

Somewhere in the sea of ​​conquest, there is a sea area that deviates from the main roadway, the sea conditions are complicated, and it is foggy all the year round. In the depths of this sea area, which often becomes a nightmare for ships straying into the sea, there is a mysterious area that is inaccessible.

Above the sea in the dark night, a faint mist diffused everywhere, and in this sea mist, the blurred outline of the island emerged.

On a mysterious island somewhere in the Sea of ​​Conqueror, there is a tall towering tree. Under the tree, there are little fires shining to disperse the darkness. In the light of the fire, a tall figure is being captured It is shining, and if you look closely, you can find that it is a humanoid wooden sculpture.

No, it is not so much a wood carving as it is more appropriate to say that it is grown by the wood itself. The thick and twisted roots of the big tree grow out of the ground, and they are entangled with each other to form a tension-shaped sculpture. Although the female figure with open hands is grown from trees, the figure is extremely vivid, and the plump figure embodies the beauty of nature and harmony.

In front of this tall statue that seems to be a natural growth, there is a burning hot bonfire. Beside the bonfire, an old man in his fifties is sitting. With a hemp rope belt, a face full of dimples, and gray and dry hair, the whole person sat cross-legged on the edge of the bonfire, silently staring at the flames in front of him, with a worried look on his face.

The old man sat on the edge of the bonfire and waited, and beside him sat a few men and women also wearing coarse cloth robes, most of them had the same worried expression as the old man. Looking at the flames of the bonfire, one of the skinny men in his twenties sitting next to the old man was a little different, his eyes were on the old man beside him.

"Lord Amman, don't worry too much. Bahoda is shrewd, capable and talented. He is our best fighter. He will definitely handle things well."

The skinny man spoke in relief to the old man, but the old man paused slightly after hearing these words, and then turned to face the man with a sigh.

"Of course I know Bahoda's ability, Obuye... I would be very relieved if he usually does something, but this time it's different, he is the one who wants to activate the glow, directly In the face of those lunatics, the strength of Huiguang is not something we can face...His mission can be said to be very dangerous, why don't I worry about it."

"Actually, it's okay, Lord Amman. Although the Aura is powerful, it can't spread everywhere. According to my information, that Aura's fleet is superficial, and none of it is as strong as Bahoda's. Or, Bahoda is more than enough to deal with them."

Obuye said this to Amman, but listening to Obuye's words, the melancholy in Amman's eyes still did not disappear, and he continued to speak slowly.

"The news is just news after all. No one can say clearly what the actual situation is. If there is a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. If the situation had not reached this unprecedented critical moment, I would not have allowed them to do such a thing .”

Amman said this, and after listening to his words, Aubye continued to speak.

"Don't worry, the sea is Bahoda's home field. Even if the news is wrong, they can't deal with the people of Huiguang, but they still have no problem if they want to run."

Chapter 420 Four Natsuki

Obuye continued to talk to Amman, and after hearing Obuye's words, Amman sighed again.

"Hey... I didn't expect that things would go to such a step. No one thought before that one day they would take such extreme measures."

"There is no other way... If we want to protect Xiashu Island, our tradition and the belief of the goddess in front of those glowing lunatics, we can only use this method. We must let Only when Huiguang has concerns, they will truly respect our opinions and communicate sincerely, instead of always being arrogant and undefeatable

manner."

Aubye said to Amman in this way, after listening to his words, when Amman was about to respond, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the distance, a young man in linen clothes came from a distance Hurrying to the scene, he said to Amman and the others after taking two breaths.

"Hoo...Hoo...Master Priest! There is news from Bahoda! Their operation has succeeded! They have completely controlled the pilgrims of Radiance, and they are now on their way back."

"What? It actually succeeded?!"

After listening to the young man's words, Amman stood up directly by the campfire, and murmured inconceivably, and the other people around him couldn't help talking to each other happily when they heard the news, most of them were worried. Swept away.

"It's great, Lord Amman, Bahoda and the others have succeeded, now we finally have a bargaining chip to have a good talk with the Radiance Cult!"

Standing beside Amman, Aubye said to Amman like this. Hearing Aubye's words, Amman was silent for a while, and then immediately said to the young man who sent the message.

"Notify Feisa and the others on the mainland, immediately send out the previously prepared letter to the Radiance Cult, and express clearly to them what we mean and what we want!"

"yes, I got it."

After listening to Amman's words, the young man who sent the message responded immediately and trotted away. Looking at the back of the young man going away, Amman couldn't help but sighed again, then turned around silently, and looked behind the big tree behind him. Next, the almost naturally formed female "wooden carving", looking at the uncarved soft face on the "wooden carving", could not help but murmur.

"I didn't expect...in the end, I would come to such a step...

"Mother of abundance, please forgive our crimes, please bless Natsuki..."

To the wood-born idol, Amman prays when devout.

......

Conquer the northern shore of the Sea, the capital of Perrin in Ivig.

In the dark night of Perrin City, everything is sleeping peacefully, and the Dixin Cathedral in Perrin's church district is now lit up with little lights.

Inside the Dixin Cathedral, wearing a simple silk robe, with gray temples, the chubby Archbishop Antonio is standing in front of the tall stained glass window with his hands behind his back, and in front of him is a A respectful young priest.

"What did you say...the pilgrimage fleet in the Lecher Valley was attacked this year? All the pilgrims are missing?"

With a look of surprise, Antonio said to the priest in front of him, but the other party nodded and continued to speak.

"Yes, according to the news from the Third Escort Fleet of the Knights of the Sacrament, they were disturbed by thick fog during the escort mission, and there were multiple Extraordinary people suspected of including the Canglang Chanter Although the ship and personnel did not suffer any damage in the end, the three passenger ships carrying 850 pilgrims got lost in the thick fog created by the extraordinary ability, and completely lost contact."

The priest reported to Antonio, and after listening to the priest's report, Antonio was silent for a while, a slight light flashed in his small eyes, and after he seemed to be suppressing something, he spoke slowly and calmly.

"Third Escort... The day before, someone told me with a vow that the review of heresy is so important that it is still a 'trivial thing' to detain four senior deacons at once, hmph... .I think the current situation is still a so-called "small matter" for him?

"From top to bottom, from red to black, our referee court is full of idiots."

Antonio's words were sneering and mocking, the words seemed to be full of dissatisfaction with the vertical organization of the referee, and after hearing Antonio's words, the priest in front of him was shocked.

"Eh... this... Your Excellency, you'd better pay attention to your words, if your words are heard by someone who cares..."

"So what if you heard it? How many things have been messed up by those guys in the referee court arresting people everywhere? People outside call them lunatics and neurotics. I think calling them lunatics is flattering them."

Antonio bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee, and the priest on the side couldn't help but feel ashamed. After Antonio satirized the referee, he returned his attention to the incident.

"The pilgrimage fleet was attacked... This has not happened for a long time, and this time there are three ships directly, and more than 800 people are missing. The severity is quite high..... .After all, those guys are so courageous, they can't be snake cultists again..."

Antonio muttered, listening to the priest's description, the first thing he thought of was the Sea Abyss Sect. As the archbishop of Ivig, he often dealt with the Sea Abyss Sect.

While Antonio was silently analyzing, the dream of Dixin Church suddenly opened, and another priest hurried in from outside the door, and said to Antonio while running.

"Your Excellency Antonio, there is an emergency!"

"What happened again?"
