Chapter 071 Priest

Gawain got off the shoulders of the skeleton giant, played with a few steel balls, and walked back and forth on the deck. He felt a little relieved when he found that there was no blood or corpse.

He walked around the ship twice and came to the captain's room.

"Dong dong dong~~"

Gawain tried knocking on the sealed hatch several times, but saw no response. After hesitating for a while, he gave up the plan of breaking in. He was worried that doing so might damage the hull.

If this makes it impossible to sail, that would be a bad thing.

The two returned to the deck, but saw that the ghost ship had not set sail.

Gawain frowned: "Lilith, what's the legend about the ghost ship?"

Lilith replied: "It is said that the ghost ship has signed an ancient contract with the monsters of Earthsea. Only those who are willing to abide by the contract can reach the other side safely."

Gawain immediately grasped the key and asked:

"What is the content of the contract?"

Lilith thought for a while and replied: "It seems that people riding the ghost ship are not allowed to prey on fish in the sea of ​​​​the earth, otherwise, disaster will occur."

"Predating fish?"

Gawain was deep in thought and leaned toward the boat. He found some fish swimming back and forth around the ghost ship on the sea, and some were even jumping on the water.

He observed carefully and found that as time passed, the fish showed signs of gradually gathering.

"Attracting fish?"

Gawain narrowed his eyes, secretly wondering if this trick might be solidified on the ghost ship.

He secretly regretted in his heart that if the dwarf Tok was still with him at this moment, he should be able to use [Magic Sense] to determine whether the ghost ship is generating magic fluctuations.

Then it can be inferred whether it is solidified [attracting fish].

This further infers whether this so-called ghost ship was the creation of an early wizard.

At this time, Lilith beside her suddenly pointed to the shore:

"It seems like someone is coming."

Gawain turned around and saw a bloated figure wrapped in black robes, running towards this side. As he ran, he gasped for air, and his chest made a noise like a bellows.

The visitor quickly arrived at the shore. He leaned on his knees and took a few breaths. When he looked up, he suddenly spotted the two people on the deck. He tightened his black robe tightly and hesitated for a while before he plucked up the courage to shout. road:

"My name is James, please...may I board the ship?"

Gawain touched his chin and replied:

"This is not my boat, you can do whatever you want."

"Thank...thank you!"

James thanked him and happily wanted to board the ship, but because he was too bulky and his movements were too clumsy, he almost fell into the sea. In the end, Lilith took the initiative to throw the rope and pulled him onto the deck.

Lilith walked back quickly and whispered: "He stinks so much, it's that rotten smell. It's very pungent. He must be seriously ill."

Just as Gawain was about to ask, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.

He followed the sound.

Three figures appeared from the gray mist, two of them were wearing full armor, chain mail, and horned helmets. Underneath them were deers that were larger than horses.

Together they guard the third person in the rear.

The third person is a tall and thin middle-aged man, riding a white horse with one horn, wearing a luxurious black silk robe, with a sickle-like pattern embroidered on his chest.

Gawain noticed that the hands of the three people only had four fingers, if his guess was correct.

They are supposed to be the savages of the underworld.

Lilith hid behind Gawain as if frightened, with a face full of uneasiness: "They are believers of Sheela, the god of death. The one riding the big horned deer is the knight guarding the temple, and the one riding the unicorn is a priest. They may be here." Catch me."

"Relax!"

Gawain patted Lilith's hand: "It doesn't seem like they are here for you, they should also be ship passengers."

Lilith felt a little relieved and looked at it carefully.

"Father Damian is wise. If we hadn't gone at full speed, we would have almost missed this ghost ship."

"Yeah, that way the investigation mission will be delayed for at least three months."

"Come on board!"

The three of them stopped at the coast and had a brief chat. The priest named Damion waved his hand and started to board the ship. He took a few steps back on the unicorn, accelerated, jumped lightly, and jumped to the high altitude. High deck.

The remaining two knights were in trouble.

They were all covered in armor, which was too bulky, and the big-horned deer they were riding were not as nimble as unicorns, so they had to get off their backs. After struggling for a while, they still couldn't pull the two big-horned deer onto the deck.

On the contrary, I was very tired.

Father Damian was like an outsider, indifferent.

One of the knights was a little impatient and roared: "You idiots on the deck, didn't you see that the knight is in trouble? Come and help quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble later!"

Gawain and Lilith were unmoved.

"James is willing to help."

James, who was huddled in a corner to rest, ran over quickly. After working for a while, he finally pulled the big-horned deer onto the deck.

The knight was already furious. He glared at Gawain and Gawain hatefully, kicked James to the deck, spat, and cursed: "Damn you reek, get out of here, the pit is full." It doesn’t smell as bad as yours.”

James lowered his head in humiliation, not daring to refute.

"live......"

Lilith was angry and wanted to redress the injustice. As soon as she raised her foot, Gawain grabbed him and shook his head at her. Her little face fell.

Reluctantly, he took back his stepped right foot.

The knight who wanted to provoke was a little disappointed. He looked over here provocatively for a few times. Seeing that Gawain was unmoved, he vented his anger by stabbing at James:

"Dirty stinky guy, did you grow up eating s***?"

James hugged his head and lay on the deck motionless, as if he had gotten used to such insults.

"Okay!"

Father Damion, who had closed his eyes to rest, finally opened his eyes and scolded him lightly: "Knight Chap, you should not vent your anger on the lambs of the Lord God, they are already pitiful enough."

The knight quickly retracted his feet, made a prayer gesture, and bowed his head respectfully:

"Father is right, Chap here to confess to the Lord God."

Father Damion nodded with satisfaction, stood up and came to James. He knelt down, reached out and stroked James's head, his voice gentle and kind: "James, are you a believer in the God of Death?"

"No, no, I believe in the God of Time."

James, who was lying on the ground, replied subconsciously, and suddenly realized that he raised his head in disbelief, revealing a face full of pus and black spots:

"You...how do you know my name?"

Father Damion smiled mysteriously:

"Lord God, know everything."

Then, I don't know what Father Damion said, James knelt in front of him and cried bitterly.

"I am guilty!"

"I shouldn't hate Robin because of bullying, I shouldn't have evil thoughts, I shouldn't have stolen Aunt Sally's black donkey when I ran away from home, and I shouldn't have let it bear such a terrible weight of mine, causing it to die under the heavy burden, I..."

"I am guilty!"

"I confess!"

"Father Damion, James is willing to change his faith and become a believer of the God of Death from now on. I swear... I am willing to serve the Lord for my whole life and never regret it!"

James was crying over there.

Lilith asked curiously: "Mr. Gawain, how did the priest know James' name?"

Gawain smiled: "James said it himself when he came forward to help."

Lilith's face was stunned, and she gritted her silver teeth and said: "Very good, the priest of Sheila has successfully abducted another poor man." As she said that, she stomped her feet in hatred and said angrily:

"James is too stupid, he didn't even know he was deceived."
