Chapter 28 The Returning Bishop

Paavo Court... Cleves didn't directly respond to the woman behind the telegraph office, but turned to look at Gehrman Sparrow, waiting for him to make a decision.

In the eyes of this former adventurer, a group of more than a dozen people wants to return to the "White Agate" safely and smoothly. However, he is also very clear that the current pillars are Gehrman Sparrow and "Raging Flame" Danitz, and they have the power to agree or not.

Klein was silent for two seconds, then spoke in a moderate voice:

"What does he look like?"

He thought that having more information would be helpful to get out of this strange town full of fog, so he asked casually. As for whether he would help to pay attention, it all depended on what happened next.

While inquiring, Klein warned himself not to delve too deeply, otherwise it would be easy to detonate the hidden danger in Bancy Port.

Between understanding the situation and avoiding risks, he must be like walking on a balance beam, no more, no less, neither left nor right, and impartial.

This may be easy or difficult, because no one knows what changes will happen when one foot is stepped on. He can only make judgments based on experience and intuition, and he may fall into the pit at any time. This makes Klein's spirit highly tense, and his thoughts are unprecedentedly fast. .

In the thick darkness and thin fog, the door of the telegraph office was still closed, and the woman inside paused and said:

"He's a, very handsome, man.

"He has two eyes, two ears, a nose, and a mouth."

Why is this answer so creepy... Maybe there is something wrong with this woman? According to the customs of Bansi Port, she shouldn't have responded at all! "Laging 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 Gehrman Sparrow raised his hand and pressed his hat, then turned and walked to the side.

"The Church of the Storm." Klein briefly said the destination.

He ignored the woman's problems at the telegraph office, just as he ignored the secrets hidden by the owner of the Lime Restaurant and the overnight diners.

The wind is getting weaker and the fog is thinner, and the candlelight in the church is dimly illuminated from the narrow windows high up, like a lighthouse in a storm.

After Klein used "Sun Halo" again,

Tang Na and the others regained some courage, like a drowning man, desperately grasping at the last straw, walking quietly and hastily on the street without passers-by.

Soon, they reached the outside of the Church of the Storm, but the two doors were tightly closed without any gaps.

Glancing at the holy storm emblem on the door, Klein raised his hand and knocked three times.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Immediately, a slightly vigilant male voice came from behind the door:

"Who?"

"Gehrman Sparrow." Klein replied directly.

He had already heard that it was Captain Ireland who was asking the question.

"Why did you come here?" Elland asked again without opening the door.

Klein held his cane and said calmly:

"You helped me pay the compensation to 'White Shark'."

Elland was taken aback for a moment, thinking it was a little funny, and then preliminarily confirmed that it was the real Gehrman Sparrow outside. At least no monster good at disguising should know that this was only a matter between two people.

He still hesitated, until Cleves, Uldi Blanche, Donna and others spoke up one after another, and then he was relieved and let the first mate Harris unlock the door and opened the door.

The heavy rattling sound swayed far away, and Klein saw Elland wearing a boat cap, holding a straight sword in one hand, and a firecracker in the other.

"Is there something wrong here?" He asked sharply based on the previous situation.

Elland turned sideways to let Donna and the others enter, then pointed to the prayer hall and said:

"The pastor I know, Jess, died inside. His head was separated from his body. Bishop Miller went somewhere, as did several other pastors. Also, the servants in the church were all gone."

A priest dead, a bishop missing? The whole church lost the living? This is a big problem... Klein held the cold Azik copper whistle, and his heart became more and more serious.

Of course, he is very clear that pastors and bishops are not the main force for the Church of Storms to manage the extraordinary events in Bansi Port. Even if it is a high-sequence powerhouse, it may not be able to deal with this power in a short period of time with almost no movement.

As long as they are still alive and can use the sealed items, the problem won't get worse... So, what is the "Punisher" team doing at this time? Based on the experience of the former Nighthawks, Klein made a guess from the normal processing flow.

During this process, he followed Elland to the Great Prayer Hall and checked the dead priest's body.

Jess died in a miserable state, as if his head had been cut off alive. Unlike those monsters outside, his esophagus and head were separated.

In Klein's vision, the pastor has no remaining spirit, even if he wants to channel, it is difficult to succeed.

Is it the special method of killing itself, or has it been dealt with accordingly... It is different from the monsters outside, is it because the action was too hasty? Based on the situation at the scene, Klein completed his previous guess.

He thinks there are two possibilities. One is that a living sealed item from the local area or a mid-sequence Extraordinary got out of control, fled to the church, ran out, and solved Jess on the way, causing the abnormality in Bancy Port. The bishop, the priest, and the "Punisher" are trying their best to search and catch up, to complete the sealing and removal again, and the servants are led to a certain area underground, protected by the "Punisher" who stayed behind.

But this cannot explain the strange behavior of the residents of Bansi Port.

The second possibility is that the original sacrifice to the "God of Weather" was revived in some people in Bansi Port. The flying heads and headless monsters fit the description in the sacrifices of sharing flesh and blood and burying their heads on the altar, but based on a certain For some unknown reason, these people raided the church and killed the priest Jess. The rest of the residents knew more or less about the situation, but they all chose to remain silent.

They may have already entered the ground, fought fiercely with the punishers, priests, and bishops with the help of the sealed items, and transformed all the servants into monsters, or they may have been pushed out, and they were being chased and killed by the Extraordinary of the Church of the Storm , fled all the way, and the servants went underground to receive protection and prevent accidents... Judging from the fact that Jess's body was not used, there is a high probability that it is the latter kind of development... At this time, if you go underground to confirm the situation, you will definitely be attacked, after all It's a strange Extraordinary... Moreover, the strength left behind may not be enough... Klein looked at the priest lying on the ground, and found that his Extraordinary characteristics had been condensed on the neck, like a blue gem.

He withdrew his gaze and didn't pick it up. He didn't want to provoke crazy revenge from the violent brothers of the Church of Storms because of Xiaoli. Instead, he said to Ireland and first mate Harris:

"Go back to the boat first."

He threw the gold coin casually to confirm that there was no battle underground.

And no matter what, regardless of whether there are "punishers" staying behind, the ground area of ​​the church is no longer suitable for staying for a long time. After all, Klein is not sure that his guess must be correct, so he can only make the safest choice.

"Okay!" Elland was unwilling to stay here, anxiously waiting for the change to come.

As long as he returns to the "White Onyx", he has many artillery pieces and many sailors, which can withstand accidents to a certain extent.

After a short rest, the group left the Church of the Storm.

With the addition of Ireland and Harris, the defense around the team was significantly tighter. Klein no longer needed to throw the copper whistle to attract the monster, and put it in his pocket again.

"Should we send a telegram to the headquarters of the Church of the Storm to report the situation in Bansi Port?" After walking a few steps, Elland cautiously made a suggestion.

In this way, even if there is a big change, as long as you persevere, you can always be saved.

Klein didn't object, walking in the mist ahead, he said calmly:

"Will pass the telegraph office."

Phew, "Laging Flame" Danitz heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately raised his heart again.

What he was afraid of was that the Church of the Storm 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 "Punishers" are not friendly to those who do not belong to them, especially since I am a pirate... Danis was in a dilemma, and decided to get over the immediate danger first.

They walked for a while, and seeing the telegraph office, a dim yellow light suddenly appeared from the side street, approaching from the depths of the fog.

It was a middle-aged man carrying a lantern.

He was wearing a dark blue bishop's robe embroidered with storm symbols, with his head bowed, his face pale, his breath short, and his steps staggering.

Elland stared intently, and blurted out:

"Bishop Miller?"

The middle-aged man raised his head, held up the lantern and said:

"Are you, Ireland?"

At this time, Klein took a step back, highlighting Ireland's position and preventing the Bishop of the Church of Storms from paying attention to him.

Danitz shrank his neck even more, taking advantage of Urdi's obese figure to block himself.

"Yes, Mr. Bishop, I saw Jess died. What happened?" Elland was not a novice, so he didn't go directly to meet him.

Bishop Miller coughed twice:

"The ancient customs are revived, and a group of cultists with dirty blood are starting to sacrifice the living and share the flesh and blood.

"Jace found out what was wrong with them, and they killed him first.

"Things can no longer be concealed, they used sacrifices, changed the weather, tried to attack the church, were defeated by the punishers, fled to the mountain, and fled to the cave where the altar is.

"I was injured in the battle, and I couldn't hold on, so I could only return slowly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light burst out from the distant mist, like countless bolts of lightning entangled and struck down.

With the help of such bright light, Klein and the others saw the mountains on the shore covered by fog, and saw the peak connected to the thunderstorm scene.

This confirms what Bishop Miller said to some extent.

Erlan was about to step forward to help the storm bishop, but saw Gehrman Sparrow take out a gold coin, and said in a low voice:

"He has malice."

Ding!

The gold coin flew up, turned down again, and landed in Klein's palm with his head up.

That means yes!

Bishop Miller looked straight at this scene, and a dark red light suddenly appeared in his hazel eyes.
