Chapter 169 Come and Listen, Bernadette.

410

The barrier of the Church of Storms only blocked a middle part of the sea water. The tens of meters high waves crashed into the city, crushing all the buildings directly below and turning an area near Bayam Port into a lake.

Extraordinary ability barriers were lit up in the embassy district and foreign residential areas in the north. Military personnel held guns to maintain order, and people were evacuating into the barriers in an orderly manner.

The "faceless doll" sits on top of the lighthouse, legs dangling in the air.

It chuckled as it admired the crowd below, swarming like ants.

The first wave hit the east side of Bayam's port, far away from where Klein and the others were, but the people who saw the water curtain hitting the ground didn't take any chances.

This distance seems very long, but in fact the sea water only needs one more rush to sweep them all away!

The military airship began to descend and lowered the rope ladder. Ireland glanced at the airship, then at Gehrman and Danitz, but hesitated to speak.

Klein understood his dilemma. He did not need an airship to move. The airship would interfere with his ability to summon messengers to teleport into the spirit world. So he said calmly:

"I have a means of escape."

"You bring the information. If the information is timely, there may be a chance to stop all this."

Ireland's expression became serious, and he said seriously:

"You are a noble gentleman."

Then, without saying any more, he quickly followed the other military members and climbed up the rope ladder to the airship.

Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning lit up and struck the airship with all its fangs and claws.

Klein frowned and saw that the airship was completely still. Hearing the heart-wrenching sound of the steam boiler, everyone on the airship entered a state of brief stiffness after being struck by lightning. Ireland, who was still hanging on the rope ladder, did not escape. His hand did not let go, but his hair exploded into sea urchins and his hat fell off.

However, the specially treated airship did not stall or explode. After a few seconds of tilting and losing control, the airship was lifted up by the wind and returned to its original height very quickly.

Why does "Poseidon" seem to have suddenly become smarter... Ellan muttered in his heart.

Thunder snakes were still rolling in the clouds, but another rain cloud flew over their heads, blocking the thunder and lightning.

The airship pulled up the guardrail, slowly lifted into the air, and flew smoothly towards the location of the Church of Storms.

I hope this information can be delivered to "Sea King" before Byam is drowned... Klein watched Ellan leave, and there was no other expression on his face. He turned around and looked at Daniz. relatively.

Danitz looked at the airship going away and made a sound as if a duck had pinched his throat: "He just left?"

So what if? Klein complained coldly: "You want to follow and turn into gold pounds?"

"I thought he would at least... give us a ride..." Daniz's expression was indescribably ugly, and he already regretted not stuffing the suicide note into the bottle before going out. But the mysterious and powerful organization behind Gehrman Sparrow and the terrifying alien messenger gave him the last hope of survival. He looked at the cold adventurer as if he were looking at the last life-saving straw, and asked nervously:

"What should we do now?"

Gehrman looked around. While they were talking, people had already left their homes and rushed to the higher mountains in the distance with supplies and important items.

I don’t know when the rain stopped, but the tide is getting closer and closer, as if it is surrounding my ears.

Finally, Hermann said coldly: "Go to higher ground first."

Klein took out Azik's copper whistle and blew it hard, and the snake-tailed demigod appeared again.

As soon as the demigod appeared, he immediately turned his head to look in the direction where the waves had rushed in before, then turned his head and asked silently:

Are you planning to leave now?

Klein avoided a person who ran past him and led the lost child back to his parents. He shook his head firmly.

"I may not be able to wait for Mr. Azik's reply."

"So, please come and deliver the message. If Mr. Azik answers, please tell me immediately."

The demigod showed no emotion. He nodded and turned into flames and disappeared like before.

Danitz was carefully observing the spirit body when he suddenly saw Gehrman's dagger-like eyes glancing over to him. He got excited and quickly followed Gehrman's footsteps and ran to higher ground with the crowd.

That spirit has a human body, a snake's tail, and feathers...

The characteristics of his wings always feel like I have seen them in textbooks!

Yes, the captain seems to have said that when the extraordinary people of the "corpse collector" path controlled by the Spiritual Cult lose control, they will grow snake tails and feathers...

The gold jewelry on this spirit body also has the style of the Balam Empire...

Is the force behind Gehrman Sparrow the Spiritual Religion? !

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became. Daniz was a little lost in thought. Although learning was painful, it felt very good to apply what he had learned. The ground began to shake slightly again, and the waves crashed onto the land again. Adventurers and pirates were mixed in with the frightened crowd, and the sounds of footsteps and cries were drowned out by the sound of the tide.

In Bayam City, sporadic gunfire and explosions could be heard from time to time.

…

In a hotel, Alger stood at the window, staring at the gloomy sky outside.

As a sailor, he can feel the trembling momentum of the ocean and rain, and he does not have to worry about tsunamis. Even if Bayam sinks, sailors can still travel to nearby land by breathing underwater and getting close to marine life.

Not long after the last tarot meeting ended, I got the vampire's anesthetic gas and prepared to go to sea to collect materials. As a result, almost a week later, I was still stranded in Bayam... The corner of his mouth moved slightly and he shook his head.

First, there was the "World" hunting "Steel" Maiviti, which made him make a lot of money, and then he had to wait for the bounty. When the bounty was obtained, he encountered the sea snake of Kavituwa and collapsed. Request to find Laticia and other adventurers and archaeologists.

I heard that during the investigation this morning, Laticia and the others were found. The "Punisher" and the military seemed to have quite important clues. Many people went to Simim Island... Ha, this kind of thing will never happen It's not my turn... Alger looked away, pulled the short robe that reached his knees, and whispered to himself:

"Let it end as soon as possible."

When Kavitua is completely dead and the tsunami is no longer hidden, he can leave the port, leave the "City of Generosity" Bayam, and work hard to be promoted to Sequence 6 "Wind Blessed One".

Two waves hit, and most of the people in this area had run away. Only in the face of this kind of disaster, the Loen people, the Fusac people, the Intis people and the indigenous people are similar. They mix together and are indistinguishable from each other when they gather to escape.

As his thoughts turned around, Alger's heart moved and he turned to look out the window.

He saw a wooden figure walking in goose-step on the deserted street, like a toy being played with by a child's hands.

This horrifying and funny scene immediately made him look away. Alger instantly realized that this was a sealed object with certain activity moving freely outside! Could it be that something went wrong in the underground sealing chamber of the Church of Storms because "Sea King" was busy fighting Kavitua? No, I have been in the church for so long, and I have never seen such a sealed item... Of course, it may be a secret that I can't access...

After gathering his spirit and sitting quietly for a long time, he carefully looked around again and saw that the wooden man had disappeared.

It has nothing to do with me... It doesn't have much credit, but it is dangerous... It won't be mine if you catch it... I don't need to report it... Alger pretended not to see it.

He didn't know that just above his head, the little wooden man was standing on the window frame, bending down and looking down.

It happened to be able to capture all of Alger's every move.

'The lighthouse was washed away...'

‘Change another place! ’

'It was discovered...'

'Don't be too conspicuous...'

A smile appeared on the flat face of the little wooden man, and then bulges appeared on his facial features.

Its body swelled and its skin twisted into clothes. A few seconds later, an "Alger" appeared on the balcony awning.

Although it has become a human, its weight seems to have not changed and it can still stand on the glass.

The "faceless doll" first twisted its facial features to imitate Alger's expression when he was meditating just now, and then imitated Alger's surprised look after seeing him. Then it stood up happily and jumped from the roof. He continued to goose-stepping.

411

Gold, blue, and huge fireballs exploded near the two ships. The former was a cannonball containing purifying power fired by the "Mysterious Queen"'s ship, and the latter was a spiritual cannonball specially made by the "Death" and the demon sailors. .

Bernadette chose her time very well, attacking just as the first wave crashed into Bayam. If the one responsible for the defense was not the "Sad Death", several holes should have been opened in the ship.

“Bang bang bang”

All the more than forty gun ports on one side of the "Suicide" hull were opened, and the shells were automatically aimed and fired after being loaded.

The biggest advantage of the "Queen of Mysteries" is Bernadette, the Sequence 3 Saint herself. She also brought an entire ship. Although it was not the flagship "Dawn", it also showed great performance with the blessing of the Secret Peeper's magic. Far beyond the defense capabilities of ordinary sealed objects.

Sailors suffered slight losses before the war, but this did not affect the overall strength.

As for Agaritu, who has geographical and equipment advantages, the "Devil's" many long-range and psychic attack methods are still slightly insufficient against Bernadette, who is one level higher than him. However, if necessary, he can completely rely on the "Suicide"'s " Whisperer" ability to break through Bernadette's defense. The attack power of their own flagship is also greater, more powerful, and has a longer range than the opponent's, so while intercepting Bernadette's artillery fire, they still have room to launch a fierce offensive.

The seeds of fear that had been left in the hearts of the sailors in Bernadette have been removed. Now the sailors under the command of the "Mysterious Queen" have understood their mission - to defend until the battle between "Sea King" and Kavituva is over. .

One side attacks and the other defends, and this is a stalemate until the end. This is what Bernadette wants.

Because in close combat, the subordinates of the Mysterious Queen have no advantage against the devil.

"The death number."

Agaritu asked with great interest: "If you go all out, is it possible... to take down Bernadette in one fell swoop?"

‘I’m willing to try. ’ The flagship sent his own thoughts, ‘Your Majesty. ’

The muzzle of the ballista concealed in the hull slowly opened, aiming at the ship in the distance.

Bernadette suddenly became alert, and saw a thick and long crossbow arrow glowing with blood piercing the sky, with a fine steel rope trailing at its tail, and rushed in front of her like a huge nail.

"Mysterious reappearance," she said, "'spear and shield attacking each other'!"

The crossbow arrows and the ship itself were strengthened at the same time. One became extremely sharp and the other became indestructible. However, when they collided, they were evenly matched and nothing happened.

"Contradictory?" Agaritu clicked his tongue, "It makes me want a 'Peeper' extraordinary item."

At the same time, he also thought of a way to deal with Bernadette.

He returned to his cabin, and when he came back, he had a copy of "Roselle's Diary" that he had bound by himself.

"The Death" retracted its crossbow and fired other large and small cannonballs, but most of them would still explode into fireworks under Bernadette's mystical defense, and many were intercepted, leaving at least ignited on the enemy ship. A string of faint blue flames.

Agaritu looked across the way. Bernadette's "Peepers" and scholars from other pathways had an orderly division of labor. Several people suspected of being from the "Reader" pathway were constantly simulating the power of the "Sun" pathway, purifying The ship was slowly penetrated by the devil's breath, and it also dispelled the inner fear of the crew. The flag of the "Mysterious Queen" fluttered high in the wind on the sails, and the enchanted cannonballs and winches worked on their own. They showed no timidity in the face of the "death signal", and all arrangements were in order.

Looking at our side, the sailors who were unable to board the ship were trying to curse each other with foul language.

However, the opponent consciously kept a distance from himself, and was now far beyond the attack range of the "Apostle of Desire". What's more, the crew on the other side was comforted by the ability to simulate an "audience".

"Alas." The Immortal King sighed, "I have to find some other ways to obtain sealed objects."

The water is getting more and more unstable. There is lightning and thunder in Bayam in the distance, and the tide is rising.

The marine life became more and more ferocious, and he vaguely saw a shark swimming into the city from the sea water.

Agaritu stood up, braved the strong wind and walked to the third level of the deck, and then picked up "Roselle's Diary".

There seemed to be no wind blowing in his hands. Although the coat was blown by the wind, the diary with dozens of sheets of paper scrawled together showed no sign of being blown by the wind.

Bernadette saw this scene, and she subconsciously felt that the "Immortal King" was going to use the "Recorder" or other abilities, and was about to respond. But then, the other party's voice appeared in her ears.

"On April 2, my daughter is so smart that she can speak before she is 1 year old. Although she has only learned a few words for the time being, I believe her progress will not be slow in the future."

"She inherited that from me."

This is... Bernadette was stunned for a moment.

Since both sentences ended with exclamation points, Agaritu felt that his tone was not right, so he cleared his throat and read: "She inherited this from me!"

The emotion that Bernadette had just risen was suddenly suppressed severely, and she even got goosebumps.

The other crew members on both sides were not sure what the enemy/captain was suddenly talking nonsense, but judging from Bernadette's expression and reaction, it should be something only they could understand.

"Captain." Bernadette's second officer approached her, "Do you need to attack? The devil may be using dirty words."

"...No." Bernadette hesitated slightly, "Wait a moment, you go and add the spirituality of the Singer path to the crossbow arrows."

She kind of wanted to keep listening to verify her guess.

Agaritu flipped through the collection he had bound and once again read in the voice of the narrator:

"On October 2, they actually decided to get me engaged to Matilda of the Abel family without consulting me in advance! Oh my god, I haven't even met her yet! No, I want to refuse, Even if I run away from home, even if I become self-reliant and suffer all kinds of oppression, I will still resist this arranged marriage."

It turned out to be really… turned out to be Russell’s notes… No, these records were so casual, they were indeed diaries! If there are records before my mother and I got engaged, maybe I can find out the reason and whereabouts of my father's madness...

Bernadette's heart was pounding, and she wished she could immediately ask the other party how to decipher Roselvin.

boom!

The sailors of the "Queen of Mysteries" did not wait for the captain's order. The crossbow bolts, which exuded bright and warm light like sunlight, still stayed in the firing slot. However, the "Death" accurately discovered the source of the crisis and fired several cannons quickly and accurately. .

Boom boom boom——

Even though the helmsman of the "Mysterious Queen" manually turned the ship around at the critical moment to avoid the attack on the ammunition magazine by the "Sad Death", the bow of the ship was hit and exploded continuously. As if a napalm bomb had been detonated, the entire bow and the helmsman were instantly enveloped in a burst of dark blue flames. The air waves spread violently outwards, not only was the bow itself pushed back several meters, but also the More than a dozen sailors nearby rushed away involuntarily and rolled continuously on the deck.

The helmsman, who faced the flames at close range, still maintained a relatively intact body, but the charred body, which kept making popping sounds like firewood, actually landed on three limbs, holding up the contaminated body. Crawling toward the sky with flames, he rushed toward the other sailors.

Although he was quickly dealt with, the twisted and horrific image remained in the hearts of the sailors.

"!"

My vigilance has been lowered! The shock made Bernadette almost unsteady on her feet. She woke up and immediately shouted:

"Fire the crossbow!"

The "Summer" fired continuously, but the shells disintegrated in the air and could not be successfully intercepted.

Then four or five two-meter-long crossbow arrows carrying the morning light flew over. One of them just pierced the first mate's belly. The grooves and protrusions at the tail of the crossbow arrow scraped away a large piece of flesh and blood and his internal organs. The intestines were nailed to on the side of the ship.

Another crossbow bolt directly smashed the heads of two sailors along the way, plowed across the deck, and finally fell into the water with one of them.

The first mate is still alive, and the tail of the crossbow is still buzzing. The morning light is constantly purifying his flesh and blood, and no one dares to step forward. Agaritu glanced down, and then the two headless corpses on the ground were contaminated by him, melted and twisted into dark flesh and blood tentacles, and dragged the first mate off the crossbow (and caused secondary damage). Black flesh merged into the hull to fill the gap just now, and several decks of the "Suicide" stood up on their own, separating the first mate to one side, like a coffin.

"Praise, praise you..." Before he could finish his words, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

The two crossbow bolts caused limited damage to the "Sorrow", and Bernadette prepared to move back and distance herself.

Sand, sand, like the sound of turning pages in a book, Agaritu's whisper followed hauntingly:

"October 5th, Miss Matilda is so beautiful."

"On October 6th, her personality and temperament are my type. I'm starting to look forward to our marriage."

Father, mother... is this the eve of their wedding? He actually spoke in such a playful and frivolous tone... If he were not on the battlefield, any of his distractions might lead to the death of his subordinates. Bernadette simply wanted to sit down and greedily listen to all these words.

However, the next moment, her eyebrows wrinkled.

"On November 3rd, Matilda was three months pregnant. Now I look at those maids from the country and think they are pretty. No, I can't lower my class and style. Just in time, Lady Fleisby invited I’m at an intimate party.”

The Immortal King considered his tone: "Hey."

It was a little difficult to imitate Russell's tone, and Bernadette was once again disgusted with goosebumps, but she also noticed a very important point in time.

November 3rd is the mother’s third month of pregnancy? That means giving birth in six or seven months... Bernadette was stunned, her eyes widened slightly - her birthday was May 19th!

That, that is to say, when his mother was pregnant with him, his father... I couldn't help it. This was the social atmosphere of Intis two hundred years ago. It was open to the point of abnormality. Everyone was proud to have a mistress and a mistress. This was not It's not something difficult to understand... But Bernadette couldn't convince herself. She felt a little dizzy. However, she soon noticed that it was not that she was dizzy, but that her ship was attacked again!

"Have those readers been killed?" Agaritu asked the "Death No."

"It doesn't matter if they're not all dead. Okay, rush over."

After saying that, he glanced at Bernadette and shook his head.

"It's hopeless. It's not angry."

The "Death" with full power broke through the wind and waves and rushed over. The "Queen of Mystery"'s ship finally entered the attack range of the "Apostle of Desire". The serial killers were ready to attack, and Gilsea's face showed bloodthirsty. smile. He put his hand on the handle of the knife, bowed slightly, and waited for the moment the two ships came into contact to jump over and kill!

He has heard the frantic heartbeats of the prey, and the delicious desperation is hidden in their bodies. He can taste it just by cutting it open!

Two pirate ships facing each other, flags fluttering in the wind, heavy rain and huge waves as the background, ferocious pirates, cannon fire exploding in the sky, and magical light in the sky are all frozen into an oil painting that is difficult to describe with a brush.

boom!

The two ships collided heavily, and the collision angle of the "Sad Death" broke through the magic barrier of the Secret Peeper!

boom! boom!

The moment the fierce and cruel hand-to-hand combat started, the two captains looked up at Bayam at the same time.

Huge silver thunder trees fell from the clouds, and an unprecedented thunderstorm suddenly lit up the entire sky!

Invite friends to come over and play Hollow Knight at home.

After returning home, my friend called me and told me that one of the slippers was his and the other was mine.
