Chapter 165 Intelligence

402

Are there cult activities in Bansi Port?

People who are contaminated by the "City of Disaster" are considered cultists, and there is no problem.

Thinking of this, the Declined King conveniently picked up the "Travel Manual" that came with the ship. There is currently a port ahead of the route where he can dock for supplies. If you skip Bansi Port, the next time you dock is two days later.

It has been sailing for three days... nearly half of the voyage, and it has been in contact with Bernadette for more than 48 hours. There is only one Sequence 9 Beyonder on these two pirate ships, the captain of Black Blood, but he is only a Sequence 9 sailor, not Lured by his own occult connections.

After listening to these pieces of information, He asked: "Admiral of Blood?"

Johnson's spirit replied: "'Blood Admiral' Senior is one of the four kings and seven generals of the sea. He is a cruel pirate with strong desires. His flagship is called the 'Tree of Flesh'..."

A member of the indulgent faction? Why is there another indulgent pirate captain? It was sixty years ago when Richard Ernst cleaned up the pirates, and the indulgent faction refused to give up the interests of the sea...

Although the prisoner route pirate can also choose, but to disguise him, he needs to get along with the indulgent faction. In order to prevent unnecessary complications, it will not be considered for the time being. The lonely "Immortal King" is the best target.

"What are his recent movements?" I hope the routes will not intersect, otherwise I will have to temporarily use my identity as a blood admiral.

Johnson answered truthfully:

"Snatch the key to the 'Death God's Treasure' from 'Vice Admiral Iceberg'..."

Death's treasure...? ‘The Sinking of the Laurel’? No, you don’t need a key to salvage a sunken ship. A key is required to open the treasure. This is the first acknowledgment that the treasure is in a sealed room. This should be a common feature of pirates, or the human mind. If the God of Death really left behind a treasure, the "key" to unlock it would not really be a key, but Azik Eggers, who had his own mind.

The son of the God of Death, the second hand after resurrection, should be the one who opens the legacy of the God of Death and inherits it. Maybe he will be the God of Death at that time.

"'Flame' Daniz Dubois is the boatswain of 'Vice Admiral Iceberg'. He killed the second mate of 'Admiral Blood'. 'Admiral Blood' will definitely not expose this matter easily. …”

The Declined King patiently listened to him talk for five minutes about the gossip about the four kings and seven generals and a lot of information that was hard to distinguish between true and false.

The only useful information is that "Admiral Blood" is temporarily stationed on another island, and there will be no reason to come here for a while.

The Outer God didn't really care what the name of "Vice Admiral Iceberg" was, and he just wanted to hear "The Key to Death's Treasure", but it made him recall the "Sunken Laurel" that was filled with the treasures of the Balam Empire. ". In addition to gold and silver treasures, there must be many extraordinary items from the "God of Death" path. That's why when passing through the violent sea, it echoed the influence of the God of Death and sank unexpectedly, with no survivors.

In the future, after I really have the identity of a pirate, I can indeed go to investigate and study it.

Johnson was only a medium-sized pirate group, and Captain Blackblood, who died first, was only a little stronger than him. All the information these two people knew was also known to the pirates at sea. Not to mention the four kings, even the seven generals were limited to hearsay.

After asking, the Outer God fed all the souls on hand to the "faceless doll".

The souls of nearly a hundred people have further revitalized this little wooden man and gained more knowledge. Perhaps he will soon be able to better utilize the extraordinary characteristics and the power contained in the spiritual materials that make up it.

At night, the passenger ship sailed slowly on the sea.

The dance hall was very quiet, and it seemed that no one was in the mood to have fun.

…

Forsi leaned over the table and wrote seriously.

Xio came over, put a cup of brewed coffee on her table, looked at Forsi, and gave a rare compliment: "I'm glad to see you are so diligent. Your new book is very inspiring?"

Feeling thirsty, Forsi immediately picked up the coffee and took a sip. After briefly praising her cohabitant's thoughtfulness and skill in making coffee, she thought and said:

"I'm writing a letter to a friend."

"A friend who lives far away wants me to share some of Backlund's daily life with him."

Xio had no doubts and said unexpectedly: "This is a good way to connect with each other."

Forsi twirled his hair with his fingers and said with a smile: "Yes. We discussed the frequency of contact. We will send letters once every two weeks, but we will share our weekly insights. I am writing this week, and we will meet again next week. Send it over.”

"But...I'm a little troubled now."

"What's wrong?"

"There are some interesting things that I really want to share with him, but these things... have been asked not to be revealed by the person involved." Forsi sipped his coffee, his eyes sometimes looking at the letter, sometimes wandering around the room.

"I think he would also like to hear these things..."

Of course, the Tarot club should be shared with Mr. Winter. This is a matter of course.

But I also promised Mr. Fool that I would not tell anyone about the content of the party. The words of the gods are very important. If you are face to face with Mr. Winter, you can't hide it. When writing a letter...should you omit some parts when writing a letter to keep it secret for everyone in the Tarot Society?

Hugh conscientiously advises his friends:

"Is it some embarrassing thing that you don't want others to know about?" She didn't think Forsi would be involved in a truly unspeakable illegal case.

Forsi immediately shook his head: "No."

"To be precise, a gathering of extraordinary people? My friend is very interested in the gathering of extraordinary people and hopes that I can tell more about it."

Xio understood: "So, your friend is an ordinary person who is interested in extraordinary and mystical science."

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"Did you participate anonymously in that extraordinary gathering?"

"Yes." Forsi replied, "But the initiator of the meeting requested that it not be revealed. - But, Hugh, I think, anyway, Mr. Winter lives in a far away city, and he is also a person outside the extraordinary world. It shouldn’t matter if you talk to him, right?”

The arbiter was a little embarrassed. She thought that since the organizer requested that no information be disclosed, Forsi should keep it secret. However, what the other party said made sense. The other person lived far away, and it would take several days to send letters back and forth. By the time Forsi's two letters passed, the other party had learned at least information from more than half a month ago, which would not have much impact on Backlund's gathering of Beyonders.

What's more, that's just an ordinary person who is interested in the extraordinary.

In this regard, she could only tentatively say:

"I personally don't recommend you tell anyone."

"But if you must say it... you can modify the deeds of some of the characters, or distort some of the characters, erase their names, and describe it in a simple tone... In this way, your friends will not get accurate information. "

Xio added: "Of course, I suggest you mention some dangers in the extraordinary world in your letter. It is better for ordinary people not to participate."

After hearing this, Forsi nodded happily: "This is what I am considering as well."

"Thank you, Hugh, now I know how to write."

She turned back to the desk, picked up the pen filled with ink again, and wrote slowly while thinking about it:

Dear Mr. Winter:

The weather in Backlund has been fine recently, and I can finally see the sun from time to time.

In the Tarot meeting on January 10th, we completed a number of transactions, including "a list of monsters around Silver City", "the fruit of the tree of elders and the blood of the mirror dragon", and a magical item that can change An extraordinary item in appearance. I was very excited, but unfortunately I didn’t have enough savings.

I successfully sold the eyeballs of longan and sea eagle. By the way, another formula transaction was successfully completed at the meeting. Everyone has excellent channels. The transaction amount involved in our meeting is getting larger and larger. I am really worried that I will not be able to afford it in the future. Recipes and materials. Ah, by the way, I have successfully digested the extra potion and am ready to be promoted to "Master of Magic".

I heard that something happened in Bansi Port on the sea, so the two gentlemen "The World" and "The Hanged Man" cooperated.

Mr. World also wanted a wireless telegraph.

That's what I want to share with you, besides, there isn't much going on in Backlund. Due to the influence of the Great Smog, the Church has increased its efforts to investigate cult members and wild Extraordinaries, and secret gatherings have basically chosen to stay away from the spotlight.

The rest... Forsi kept writing, chatting with friends far away about Backlund's various customs and customs, as well as some interesting urban legends, and in the end he solemnly suggested that the other party just listen and not get involved in the extraordinary. the world of the author.

After she finished writing, she folded the letter paper, placed it in the envelope, and tucked it under the books in the drawer. This letter will be sent out after the Tarot session next week. Judging from Forsi's procrastination, it will be considered a success if it can be sent out before the 20th.

"You haven't tried to make...'television'?" In the lounge of the underground facility, Traynor gestured with a one-meter-square box. "I didn't expect that after fifty years, the power supply problem has not been solved. I I thought you should have entered the electronic age."

"It's useless to make that thing." Cosette spread her hands, "Without a corresponding signal, it's just an iron shell. Without materials, our chemical industry is still in its infancy, and we can only barely be self-sufficient at the moment. Self-sufficient. The power generation equipment is far from enough. The solar panels are too eye-catching from the sky, and the large windmills required for wind power generation cannot be built in this wilderness. Our power generation mainly depends on the underground river in the distance and me."

"If you are too busy, you can buy a hand-cranked generator. I believe that as a demigod, you can crank it very fast."

"What about 'computer'?"

Traynor was full of curiosity about this machine that was said to be even more advanced than the Difference Engine, because just last year, Intis's plan to steal the manuscript of the second-generation Difference Engine and return to China was discovered by Rune. It was said that a passerby detective happened to discover it. I saw the ambassador talking with foreigners.

However, during the follow-up investigation, they found that there was no information about this detective at all, and the ambassador had never had any conversations with his countrymen outside, and he had also damaged a marionette master. It could be said that the failure was unclear.

Cosette spread her hands again: "We don't have professional talents, and if we just calculate the ballistics, extraordinary people can do it, so it is not an important content."

"I can only deal with radio waves, electrical signals and magnetic fields. Adding a few channels to the radio is the limit of my ability."

"Hurry up and call your junior craftsman to move the bricks. We need manpower."

Traynor touched his chin: "I have already informed him. If you need it, I will bring him after he maintains the temporary container of War Angel this month. However, the development path of the Church of Steam in the past ten years is also very strangeness……"

There was a strange twist on his expression: "The Church of Steam seems to be feverishly researching dolls and exoskeletons, steam exoskeletons. Sharf showed me that they are put on the arms, and they start to advance when they punch. It can produce greater power and can even carry people flying, but the disadvantage is that it has a single function and is bulky, and it can easily burn the user due to excessive temperature."

"It sounds like they need high-temperature-resistant materials." Cosette thought, "We have several kinds, but they are all unable to be manufactured with current methods. The only porcelain manufacturing technology that can be sold to the church... You can consider building a porcelain factory. ”

Traynor has always been relatively straightforward when it comes to money: "Porcelain handicrafts and daily necessities are mainly for luxury goods, with huge profits, and can divide the bone china market. I will consider it. But I remember that porcelain is not tough enough and is not suitable for making tools."

Cosette shrugged: "There's no need to use a big piece of porcelain, just stick a few pieces on it."

"Besides that, there are steam-propelled vehicles. They don't study tanks anymore. The Church of Steam accepted the shortcomings of 'bulky' and began to improve it through 'transformation'... I suspect there are still people within the church who want to develop Gundam or transformation King Kong, like Bonoit.”

This guy has been obsessed with Transformers toys since he was a child. He is more interested in mechanical creations than Ciel. He has tried to make them himself more than once. He is Traynor's primary suspect after the skill tree of the Steam Church mutated.

Cosette comforted him: "Don't say that, be confident, maybe the God of Steam is the Transformers."

"Steam-powered Transformers? ... That's scary."

The God of Steam and Machinery is here, but Optimus Prime? The picture was so strange that Trainor didn't dare to think about it carefully, and it felt a little blasphemous.

"Theoretically, it cannot be realized. Steam power cannot allow such a large object to move freely, let alone deform. Unless materials from other sources are added to it, it will not be regarded as a vessel for God to descend."

Traynor actually thought seriously about the possibility of the appearance of a giant Optimus Prime that was breathing clouds and smoke.

"If you want to try it out, just draw two Transformers comics and send them to the anonymous mailbox of the Church of Steam." Cosette encouraged. "The Church of Steam is publicizing it privately and looking for artists. That proves that they are still in the development stage."

Traynor drew inferences: "On the contrary, I will be arrested on the charge of 'revealing church secrets'?"

"That's right."

"...Forget it, I'd better think about how to make money by selling porcelain."

Cosette suddenly recalled a word Traynor had said before and asked curiously: "Who is the War Angel?"

"That general from the Iron Cross?"

"No, it's not him. He originally meant it, but now he no longer dares to use this title." Traynor shook his head repeatedly and muttered something in his heart: It is said that he originally wanted to go to Banxi to see if there was any He took the place of the local cult "Weather God" in Port Bansi and had the opportunity to obtain this identity. As a result, he soon learned that it was the location of the descendants of the polluted Medici family...

Judging from the fact that Gaston Ramon returned immediately and never mentioned it, the pollution in Bansi Port is very special, so special that even an angel dare not touch it. Of course Traynor, as one of the honorary members, could not know what happened.

Cosette looked at Traynor again and said in wonder: "You do have a wide network of contacts."

"They gave me an invitation when I was promoted to demigod."

The war bishop said concisely and concisely: "They saw that I was in danger and my identity was embarrassing, so they gave me the identity of an Intis informant and promised to help me if I escape one day."

"Oh. So who is the War Angel?"

"..." Traynor's eyes wandered for a moment, floating up to the ceiling, then to his toes, and finally to Cosette.

"The 'War Angel', also known as the 'Red Angel', is the oldest 'angel' in the hunter path and the one closest to the throne of God."

"In the unknown ancient history, He followed the Creator to conquer the earth, wiped out other extraordinary races, and killed evil gods. Together with other angels, He protected mankind and gradually established the human kingdom and civilization."

"Oh, then the creator died, and the six gods..." Cosette naturally connected to the current orthodox myth, but after saying a few sentences, she felt something was wrong, "According to what you said, human civilization has been established, and the evil race has been eliminated. Sweeping, these two myths conflict?”

Although the Pilgrimage sects generally have shallow believers or even unbelievers, when they first hear something like this that denies the foundation of human culture in today's world, they still feel sweaty, fearing that divine punishment will appear out of thin air.

"And those who oppose today's myths and promote the Creator...the 'Red Angel' you mentioned, does it have anything to do with the true Creator?"

"Can't say."

Traynor worked hard to improve the image of his leader in concise language. At the same time, he also knew that the current full name of the other party was "Soren Einhorn Medici"... Hear it from Gaston Raymond When he came up with this name, he felt like a group of curly-haired baboons were trampling on his common sense in his mind. Sauron? Sauron? Einhorn? ? Medici? ? ? What is the name of this angel? What happened to cause Him to have three last names? Is it possible that the current hunter family is all his descendants?

So blasphemous. Traynor decided to punish himself with two drinks at lunch.

The title "Red Angel" has a profound meaning. Cosette asked thoughtfully: "The redness of blood? Just like the hunter symbolizes iron blood and war?"

Traynor, who was immersed in his own thoughts, nodded perfunctorily: "You can understand it that way."

"That junior of yours can build a temporary container for such a powerful angel." Cosette praised, "It's very impressive. He is the talent we need. I am looking forward more and more to him coming to our place to move bricks soon."

"But what's wrong with you? You look so sad?"

Traynor's expression twisted again, he was silent, silent, and then sighed:

"...Now, in the entire Iron-Blooded Cross, I am the only one who has not gone to see the Red Angel."

There was an internal personnel transfer within the Iron-Blooded Cross, and the Red Angel was asked to come over to lead it for a period of time, but in the end, a local saint was chosen to take over? Didn’t I just run away from Intis? Why go back again?

He made a sound like he didn't want to go to work: "There is ice Coke here, there are game consoles, the work is free (thermal power generation), and Richard has not come to borrow money from me, I don't want to go..."

He sadly discovered that from the moment he left Intis, his comfortable life was gone forever.

——————

I saw that some readers felt that "it is unreasonable for Zhenzao to agree to the new covenant."

If you simply think that "it is impossible for Zhenzao to cooperate with external gods" and therefore it is unreasonable, it will inevitably be a bit binary. I analyzed the specific situation in detail, so I decided to talk about that world line in my composition.

The triggering conditions for this hidden BE line are "Zhenzao does not agree", "Richard did not come successfully", "Richard failed to convince and failed".

There were no survivors in the East District of Backlund, and then the clone of the True Creator was killed. Decay used him as a key to sneak into the Land Abandoned by the Gods. A regression principle turned the True Creator's Kingdom of God into his own, and then polluted the True Creator, and then Immediately jump into the abyss and eat Fabuti raw, and quickly become a dual-path true god.

At this time, the Seven Gods and the two true gods who acquiesced to the great smog (dark night storm?) were able to discover the outer gods. These two were resolutely resisting the outer gods. When the true creation was contaminated, Feng Bai knew that he could no longer be a god. , so he went further and decided to simply wait for death. Concealment is surrendering to the enemy, wisdom is preparing to surrender to the enemy, the steam is waiting for the sun to die and does not know what to do, the original witch does not care whether the earth is alive or not, only cares about whether she can survive, the night Adam Lilith, the god of war, continues to resist.

↑The above are Shinzo’s considerations for agreeing to the new agreement. If you agree that as long as Richard is alive, you will still have a chance, if you don't agree, you can directly rush into the BE line.

Since the conspiracy to kill the God of War still exists, Night Adam Lilith decided to accelerate the plan to eat the God of War. The God of War wanted to quickly help Einhorn's angel become a popular priest, so the four gods hit it off and started a full-scale war in the northern continent. They swarmed up and killed the bound god, and beat the witch to snatch the hunter 1. Involve the Southern Continent into the world war, and tacitly agree that the Fusac Empire and the Einhorn Royal Family will win in the end (but the God of War still has to die). You still have to struggle. If you really can't beat us, let's die together in the end.

Decay watched the show in the land abandoned by the gods and saw them fighting passionately. He thought he should do something, so he went crazy to prevent the Earth God from upsetting the children and causing the Mother Goddess to come.
