Chapter 371: Profane Sacrifice, Protect the Dawn

Wojciech Island, hidden in the dozens of surrounding islands, is like a silent and terrifying beast, with blue flames and rumbling vibrations everywhere.

The magma gushing out from the volcano, under the effect of the rune array connected to the tower, is constantly absorbing energy and converging to the top of the tallest tower.

The terrifying temperature and the origin of the breath emanating from the tower are like the breath of the abyss beast, and waves of heat roll out one after another.

"Wojciech..."

On the hot high wall, Lotilia looked at the dozens of towers in the city-state with a calm expression.

"Boss, we can't delay for too long..."

"Hey, Hammer Girl, what are you talking to yourself here alone?"

Lotillia's face turned cold, the light from the eruption of magma reflected on her face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "'Viper', are you looking for death?"

"Hammer Girl, when you call me by my name, please call me by my full name 'Venomous Viper'."

The owner of the voice appeared beside her, with long gray and white hair tied behind her head by a hairband, wrinkles all over her face, looking very old, narrow triangular eyes flashing two bright pupils, and a wretched smile at the corner of her mouth.

"That 'Venomous Viper', Mr. Higgins," Lotillia generously fulfilled his wish, took out the big hammer and held it across his face: "How do you want to die?"

"Oh my...Lotillia, I was just joking..." Higgins raised his hands, his wretched expression was restrained, and he smiled awkwardly.

"I've done what I told you to do, are you in the mood to joke?" Lotillia swung her arm sideways and swung the hammer mercilessly.

Higgins bent down and half-lay down, avoiding the hammer hitting his face. Feeling the hot wind of the hammer, his triangular eyes widened a little.

Then, without waiting for her to continue swinging the second hammer, Higgins turned his feet and ran to the other side, patting his chest and said with lingering fear:

"If you want to ask questions, just ask questions, don't do it!"

"Humph! Tell me, have you confirmed the identity of that person?" Lotillia held the hammer with both hands and stared at him with a cold look.

"I, I'm here to report this to you,"

Higgins swallowed his saliva and thought to himself that Black Jack must have been crazy before.

There are so many beautiful women with great figures, and he was blind, and dared to provoke her?

"Speak!"

"I investigated all the people who went outside the high wall in those two days, and three of them are suspicious."

"Three?" Two horizontal lines appeared on Lotilia's crystal clear forehead, "Who are they?"

Higgins nodded and said seriously: "Two of them are tower guards, Kerrydi and Amato. They are both from the western seas, one from Lanzhua Island and the other from Susis Island."

"According to my investigation, they all took advantage of the gap between shifts to climb over the high wall to the east jungle, stayed for about three minutes, and then returned as usual."

Lotilia nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "What about the last one? Is he the most suspicious?"

"It's not that there is obvious evidence of him," Higgins hesitated, "It's just that his identity is a bit special..."

Lotilia's eyes suddenly Shining, the figures of those people appeared in his mind, and he asked coldly: "Is it them?"

"One of them!" Higgins nodded, "You also know that their identities, strengths and status in the Black Pearl are almost as good as Black Jack. If I investigate in depth rashly, I am worried that..."

"What will happen?" Lotilia interrupted: "If the betrayers can succeed, then the Black Pearl will no longer have a need to exist."

"That's true, but you also know their influence on the Black Pearl," Higgins sighed helplessly: "And now you are the only one on Wojciech Island. If that bastard Black Jack is here, others will be more convinced."

"You mean, those bastards don't believe me?"

"..."

Higgins glanced at the big hammer in her hand, and felt helpless.

Believe it or not, she should know, right?

Speaking of the Hammer Girl, the entire Black Pearl is more afraid than convinced...

"I mean, you are distracted and focus on the boss, so you can't take care of those lower-level bastards."

"Plus, they have been on Wojciech Island for too long, and many people have long forgotten the pirate code. They are either drinking or playing with girls all day long, and they have no mind at all..."

"So, should I give in?" Lotilia glared at him.

"Of course not, I..." Higgins gave up the idea of ​​persuading him and said, "Let's continue talking about that person."

"According to the feedback from the rune array that day, he went out twice that day. The first time was 32 minutes, but he left with Lindy."

"The second time was alone, the time was one hour and 21 minutes, and the location was the same as the previous two, both in the woods to the east."

"Have you investigated there?" Seeing that he was getting back to business, Lotilia took a deep breath and asked.

"I've checked, but I didn't find any useful traces. Even with the potion that showed their behavior, I couldn't see anything abnormal."

"Is it that you can't see it or are you hiding it on purpose?"

"This..." Higgins said bitterly, "Lord Lotilia, how can you scold me?"

"Humph, haven't you done enough of this?" Lotilia snorted, "Since you were in this position, you've been covering up for those bastards all day. Now something's wrong, right? Do those people care about your feelings?"

"Now that the location of Wojciech Island has been exposed, tell me what kind of person that person would think of you?"

Higgins opened his mouth, helplessly watching her get angry for no reason, and said to himself: No matter how bad my evaluation is, it can't be worse than yours, right?

"Then do we still need to continue the investigation now?"

"Check! Why not check?" Lotelia turned to look at the scorching high tower, her eyes flickering: "Now someone has come here, I think people from the outside world will know about Wojciech's new information soon. Location."

"So, before that happens, we have to catch him!"

"What are you going to do?" Higgins thought for a while and asked.

"Lure him out," a sneer appeared on Lotilia's face: "Go and deliver a message, saying that Black Jack will be here soon, in two days."

"First mate, he..."

"Do as I say and leave the rest to me."

Higgins hesitated and nodded: "I understand."

"Go ahead, I believe the winner must be our Black Pearl!"

"Um……"

Watching Higgins disappear into the shadows, Lotelia flipped her wrist and put away the sledgehammer, and continued to look at the tall tower in the center of the city-state, while her fingers silently pressed on the pocket watch in her palm.

It's as if nothing has happened and no one has been here...

…

…

The Eastern Continent, the Holy Land.

From the top of the Papal Palace down, you can see twelve palaces side by side on the second floor. The huge stone pillars shine with golden light, and the red tower tops are majestic and majestic, representing the twelve cardinal archbishops of the Church of the Dawn.

Below, there are eight palaces, which are slightly smaller than the two floors above.

From left to right, they are Judgment, Heroism, Kindness, Judgment, Wisdom...and Profanity. Each palace has a different color style.

Not only that, the complex emblems on the doors of four of the palaces shine brightly - Judgment, Heroism, Kindness and Blasphemy.

It's just that compared to the three of them, the emblem on the door of the Palace of Goodness is a little fainter. People in the sanctuary know that when it shines completely, it will be the time when the fourth saint of their Dawn Church will ascend the throne.

At this time, all the knights outside the palace gates were focused on the profaned palace on the far right, with different expressions.

"The knights of the 'Profane' Knights are here!"

"You can rest assured."

"Huh? Aren't you worried? With them here, you don't have to worry about the 'blasphemy' power causing us knights to 'sacrifice'."

"I hope..."

The eyes of these knights wearing various armors fell on the leader.

"'Blasphemy' Saint Carrie Morris..."

"Your Majesty!"

Carly wore a white-gold half-length armor and a double-layered battle skirt from the waist down. The outer layer was strong and the inner skirt was very long, almost reaching the ground.

At the same time, there was a large black sword hanging on her waist. The sword had a wide blade and a sharp blade. It had no scabbard and danced lightly with her movements.

Carly looked at the three thousand blasphemous knights kneeling in front of her and said calmly: "Melbel informed them to go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Melbell walked up to the knights, his mask under his long feathered hat moved slightly, and the power of blasphemy on his body formed a complex mark, and he said coldly:

"Set off!"

"Desecrate the sacrifice and protect the dawn!"

The blasphemous knights in black armor shouted in unison, and the power of blasphemy condensed on the complex mark above, slowly forming a black and golden throne, as if to welcome the person on the throne.

Carly stepped up to the throne, waved with one hand, and guided forward with the black sword, "'Profane' set off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the great sword spread, covering everyone, turning into a line of light and shadow and leaving the sanctuary in an instant.

…

Northern Continent, the city-state of Imaguire.

"Ho ho..."

"Crack, click, click..."

Weird and terrifying roars came one after another, coming from outside the high wall, making everyone in the city feel at ease.

"There are so many undead creatures. I have never felt as safe as now."

"Yes, as long as we don't actively seek death, go out to bask in the red moon at night, or come into contact with era relics, we will all be safe."

"Didn't you see that the nobles were much quieter? The arrival of the ghost wizards probably made them happy."

"Haha... You are so unforgiving with your mouth. Are you still happy? Those nobles want the ghost wizards to leave as soon as possible."

"..."

At this time, in the center of the city-state parliament, Salvatore looked at the legendary wizards present and chuckled:

"Have you heard the noise outside? Except for the nobles, everyone welcomes us to stay here."

"Haha, Salvatore, why not just clean out the nobles? In other words, converting them into undead creatures is a good way."

"Seconded!"

"I also agree. I happen to have a lot of high-quality consumables for me to use in my experiments."

"..."

"Shut up, everyone!"

Salvatore's face darkened and he snorted: "You bastards, why are you still the same as when you were in the institute? You are either thinking about the project or the experiment all day long."

"Then what do we want?"

"Think about this Cordo sea expedition!"

The legendary wizards looked at each other with smiles on their faces: "Salvatore, can you tell me the details of this expedition?"

"We didn't get the exact information from Chief Vaklav before, so we should know the details now."

"Chief Vaklav is fine, I just think that the enemies that can be dealt with by our ghosts, the secret spirits and the blood spirit school together should not only be those people of the Dusk Sect, right?"

"The Dusk Sect is also an enemy? Those ugly monsters seem to have strange abilities, but they still use the methods of our wizards," a skeleton wizard said with a click, "It's a very simple thing to kill them."

"So nervous that there must be..."

Salvatore looked at the legends speculating on the details word by word, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Of course, he also wanted to tell these people the truth, but that bastard Vaklav didn't tell him, and only said that he would understand it naturally when he got to the sea.

"Okay, I didn't call you here today to talk about this."

"We have just contacted the Spiritual Mystic School. They will arrive at Linaison Island tomorrow, so we should set off today."

"The leader of the team this time is Vice-Chairman Rosa. You should be aware of her identity and strength. Don't mention the past tomorrow."

"Hmm? Legend Salvatore, are you referring to the incident when we were blocked at the Spiritual Mystic Tower? Haha... I promise not to mention it."

"You are the most annoying, Chashir!" Salvatore snorted: "For this joint matter, everything is based on this expedition."

"Of course, of course..."

...

...

"Ready, aim, shoot!"

Bang!

Bang!

Two gunshots sounded almost at the same time.

Two bullets blew up the head of the deep-sea mutant one after the other.

Marco announced the result directly, without even checking whether the wounds of the two deep-sea mutants were in a vital position, "The winner is Wizard Wayne!"

Mirus put down the [Explosive Sniper Rifle] and shook his head helplessly: "Wizard Wayne, your shooting skills are the most powerful and unique among all the gunmen I have seen."

"Whether it is the accuracy of the hit, the rate of fire, or the power, Wizard Wayne wins."

As the strongest gunman on the Bai Keli, his strength can be ranked at the top even in the entire Black Pearl.

"Mirus, you take them to continue training, I have something to say to Wizard Wayne."

"Okay!"

After everyone left, Marco's handsome face showed a little sadness.

"What's wrong?" Wayne raised his eyebrows.

"After training for so long, it's still this level. I don't think there is any improvement."

Wayne: "..."

Is Marco comparing himself with him?

It's a bit overestimating...

His gunmanship level has been upgraded to the Grandmaster level. According to the notes on the panel, it takes hundreds of millions of shots to train.

Even if Milus's gunmen worked day and night, they would not be able to achieve such training results without spending decades.

More importantly, the consumption of those bullets was beyond their ability to bear.

Thinking of this, Wayne smiled: "You are becoming more and more like a captain."

Marco said with emotion: "Yes, now I finally understand how difficult it was for that violent woman Lacey."

"By the way, have you contacted her recently?"

"Some time ago, I..."
