Chapter 28 The Returning Bishop
Pavo Court... Creeves did not directly respond to the woman behind the Telegram Office, but turned his head to look at German Sparo, waiting for him to make a decision.
In the eyes of this former adventurer, it is a very difficult thing for a group of more than a dozen people to return to the White Agate safely and smoothly. They cannot and should not be distracted to help find people at this time. However, he also knows that the current pillars are German Sparrow and "Fire" Danitz, who have the power to agree or not.
Klein was silent for two seconds, and his voice was neither high nor low:
"What does he look like?"
He thought that mastering more information would help get out of this strange little town full of fog, so he asked casually, as for whether he would help pay attention, it all depends on what happens next.
While asking, Klein warned himself not to go into too much, otherwise it would easily detonate the hidden danger in Banxi Port.
Between understanding the situation and avoiding risks, he must be like walking on a balance beam, neither too much nor too little, not left nor right, and not biased.
This may be easy or difficult, because no one knows what changes will happen if he steps on it. He can only make judgments based on experience and intuition, and he may fall into a pit at any time. This makes Klein's spirit very tense and his thoughts are unprecedentedly swift.
In the thick darkness and thin mist, the door of the Telegraph Office was still closed, and the woman inside paused and said:
“He is a handsome man.
"He has two eyes, two ears, one nose, and one mouth."
Why is this answer so terrible? Isn't this woman a little bit of a problem? According to the customs of Bansy Port, she shouldn't have responded at all! "Fire Flame" Danitz had the urge to kick open the door, rush into the telegraph office, and check the situation inside.
At this moment, he saw German Sparrow raise his hand and press his hat, turning around and walking to the side.
"Storm Church." Klein briefly said the destination.
He didn't care about the problem with the woman in the Telegram Office, just like not exploring the secrets hidden by the owner of the Lime Restaurant and the overnight diners.
The wind is getting smaller and smaller, and the fog is thin and unchanged. The candlelight in the church is faintly shining from the narrow windows above, like a lighthouse in a storm.
After Klein used the "Sun Halo" again, Donna and others regained some courage, just like a man who fell into the water, desperately grasping the last straw and walking quietly and hastily on the street without passers-by.
Soon, they arrived outside the Storm Church, but the two doors were tightly closed and there was no gap.
Looking at the Storm Holy Emblem on the door, Klein raised his hand and knocked it three times.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
A slightly alert male voice came from behind the door:
"who?"
"Gelman Sparo." Klein replied directly.
He had heard that it was Captain Aerland who was asking.
"Why are you here?" Aerland asked again without opening the door.
Klein said calmly with his cane:
"You paid me the compensation for the 'White Shark'."
Aerland was stunned at first, feeling a little funny, and then initially confirmed that it was real German Sparrow outside. At least no matter how good the monster is in disguise, he shouldn't know that this is limited to the matter between the two.
He was still hesitant until Crivis, Urdie Blanche, Donna and others spoke one after another, and he felt relieved, so that the first mate Harris could unlock the counter-lock and open the door.
The heavy Zaza sounded from afar, and Klein saw Ailland wearing a boat-shaped hat, holding a straight sword in one hand, and a musket in the other.
"There is also a problem here?" he asked keenly based on the previous situation.
Aerran first turned sideways and lets Donna and others enter, then pointed to the prayer hall and said:
"The pastor Jace, whom I knew, died inside, his head and his body were separated, and Bishop Miller didn't know where he went, as did the other pastors, and the servants in the church were gone."
A pastor died, a bishop disappeared? The whole church lost a living person? This is a big problem... Klein held the cold Azc copper whistle and his heart became more and more calm.
Of course, he knew very well that the pastor and bishop were not the main force in the Storm Church's extraordinary incident in the management of the Bansy Port. Under the ground of this church, there must be a "punisher" team composed of 6 to 8 extraordinary people, as well as an uncertain number of seals. Even the high-sequence power may not be able to solve this force without any movement in a short period of time.
As long as they are still alive and can still use seals, the problem will not worsen... So, at this time, what is the "Punisher" team doing? Klein started to guess based on the experience of the previous night attendant, starting from the normal processing process.
During this process, he followed Aerland to the Great Prayer Hall and inspected the body of the dead pastor.
Jace was in a miserable state of death, as if he had his head cut off alive. Unlike the monsters outside, his esophagus and head were separated.
In Klein's spiritual vision, this pastor has no remaining spirit, and even if he wants to communicate with others, it will be difficult to succeed.
Is it the special way of killing itself, or is it done accordingly... Unlike the monsters outside, is it because they were too hasty to do it? Klein combined the situation on the scene to complete his previous guess.
He believed that there were two possibilities: one was that a local seal or a living seal or a special person in the middle sequence had lost control, escaped into the church, ran out, and solved Jace on the way, causing the change in Bansey Port. The bishop, pastor and "punisher" were trying hard to search and chase, and they wanted to complete the seal and clearance again, while the servants were introduced to a certain area underground, protected by the left-behind "punisher".
But this cannot explain the strange performance of the residents of Bansey Port.
The second possibility is that the original sacrifice of the "God of Weather" revived in some people in Bansie Port. The flying head and the headless monster were in line with the description of sharing flesh and blood in the sacrificial sacrificial burying their heads into the altar. For some reason that was temporarily unknown, these people raided the church and killed the priest Jace. The rest of the residents were more or less aware of the situation, but they all chose to remain silent.
They may have already attacked the ground, fighting fiercely with the penalizers, priests and bishops with the help of seals, and transformed all the servants into monsters, or they may have been pushed out, being chased by the extraordinary people of the Storm Church, fleeing all the way, and the servants entered the ground, receiving protection to prevent accidents... Judging from the fact that Jace's body was not used, it is likely to be the kind of development behind... At this time, I will go underground to confirm the situation and will definitely be attacked, after all, they are strangers... and the power to stay may not be enough... Klein looked at the priest lying on the ground and found that his extraordinary characteristics had been condensed in his neck, like a blue gem.
He withdrew his gaze and did not pick it up. He did not want to cause crazy revenge from the irritable brothers of the Storm Church because of Little Li. He turned to Airland and the first mate Harris:
"Go back to the ship first."
He threw the gold coins casually and confirmed that there was no battle underground.
No matter what, regardless of whether there are "punishers" left behind, the church ground area is no longer suitable for long-term stays. After all, Klein is not sure that his guess must be correct and can only make the safest choice.
"Okay!" Airland was unwilling to stay here, and was anxiously waiting for the change to come.
As long as he returns to the "White Agate", he has many artillery and many sailors, which can withstand accidents to a certain extent.
After a short rest, the group left the Storm Church.
With the addition of Aerland and Harris, the defense around the team became much tighter. Klein no longer had to throw the copper whistle to attract monsters and put it in his pocket again.
"Do we want to send a telegram to the Storm Church headquarters to report the situation in Bansy Port?" After walking a few steps, Aerland made a cautious suggestion.
In this way, even if there are big changes, as long as you persist, you will always be saved.
Klein did not object, walked in the mist ahead and said calmly:
"I'll pass by the Telegraph Office."
Huh, "Fire" Danitz breathed a sigh of relief first, and then raised his heart again.
What he was afraid of was that the Storm Church sent people to investigate the whole matter and found that a well-known pirate played an important role in it. At that time, he was probably still trapped on the White Agate.
Although I saved people, the "punisher" is not friendly to their kind, especially I am still a pirate... Danitz was embarrassed and decided to hold on to the danger that was close to him before talking about it.
They walked for a while, and saw that the Telegraph Bureau was looking at it, but suddenly a dim light appeared on the street on the side, moving closer from the depths of the fog.
It was a middle-aged man carrying a horse lantern.
He was wearing a dark blue bishop's robe embroidered with a storm symbol, lowered his head, pale face, rapid breath, and staggering steps.
Aerland looked at it intently and blurted out:
"Biography of Miller?"
The middle-aged man raised his head and raised his lantern and said:
"You are, Aerland?"
At this time, Klein took a step back slightly, highlighting Aerland's position and preventing the bishop of the Storm Church from paying attention to him.
Danitz even shrank his neck and used Urdie's fat figure to block himself.
"Yes, Mr. Bishop, I saw Jace dead. What happened?" Aerland was not a novice and did not meet him directly.
Bishop Miller coughed twice:
“Ancient customs are reviving, and a group of cultists with dirty blood are beginning to sacrifice themselves with living people and share their flesh and blood.
"Jess discovered their problem and was killed first by them.
"The matter could no longer be concealed. They used sacrifices to change the weather and tried to attack the church. The punishments were defeated, fled to the mountain, and fled to the cave where the altar was.
"I was injured in the battle and couldn't hold on, so I could only return slowly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light suddenly burst out from the mist in the distance, like countless lightning struck down.
With the help of such light, Klein and others saw the shore mountains covered by fog and the peaks connecting the thunderstorm scene.
This confirms Bishop Miller's statement to some extent.
Aerland was about to step forward to support the Storm Bishop, but saw German Sparo take out a gold coin and whisper:
"He has malice."
bite!
The gold coins flew up, turned down again, and fell to Klein's palm, with his head facing up.
This means affirmation!
Bishop Miller looked at this scene directly, and a dark red light suddenly appeared in his light brown eyes.
Chapter completed!
