The clock struck nine. The sound of sailors replacing the watch was heard on the deck.
Odessa's fleet cannot catch up with the Birrenhild. According to the agreement, they are stationed in their respective ports. Once the Birrenhild leaves the coastline and enters the depths of the Sea of Tranquility, it will enter the control of Beyeland.
.
At night when visibility is poor, the combat effectiveness of both sides of the fleet depends on the perceptions of their respective Extraordinaries. Each Extraordinary who can serve as a captain often has unique abilities.
As long as Griffith arrives at Homemonworth with the sealed artifact, Odessa has nothing to argue with. The aura of the Outer God cannot be concealed, and anyone with a discerning eye can spot the sealed artifact he took from Medini.
How evil and dangerous.
But is this really safe? There is an alien god behind Naira and the Odessa people. Is there no back-up plan prepared for the situation at hand?
Griffiths stomped nervously in the cabin. He walked from the desk to the bed, and then from the bed to the sofa. When he was walking back and forth for the fifth time, he suddenly saw Roland appearing on his sofa.
“Yo, man, long time no see~”
Roland was wearing a black hood, with shadows covering his eyes, looking enigmatic. The Birrenhill was on very tight alert, but he was not found boarding the ship at all.
“Good evening, Count, how did you avoid the sentries and the security circle?”
"It's no big deal," Roland said, "a small boat, a set of hooks and ropes, proper equipment, I rowed by myself, and quietly approached in the dark night. The beautiful and sexy Enterprise stopped in the thick fog a few miles away.
中. There is a limit to how many ordinary people can serve as sentinels, and the number of extraordinary people cannot cover all directions at all times. It is indeed laborious and time-consuming for me to row the boat here myself, but it is worth it for the confidentiality.
“Then, I quietly climbed up your mast and hid there overlooking the deck. When the time came, I jumped down with faith! I landed at the door of Miss Captain, it’s that simple.”
“Why did you fall there? Didn’t Alandel find you?”
"Of course, I found it. I originally wanted to go say hello to her first. Hey, the little girl now pulled out the musket I sent without saying a word... Don't say this, knight, treat me
Are you satisfied with the design of the Birren Hill?"
If this was an attack, that would be bad... Griffiths felt a glimmer of worry about the safety of the Birren Hill, but he still put it aside for the time being and continued the current conversation first.
"It's amazing, you can always bring unexpected surprises to people," Griffith saluted the mysterious retired warrior. "Now can you tell me the cause and effect of this commission? I understand that it is necessary to be so cautious, but,
The overall planning is also crucial to my next battle."
"Yes, it is very important. Commanders and fighters must have a full understanding of their missions before they can bravely devote themselves to a great cause!" Roland said, "I don't want my remote contacts to be eavesdropped, and I don't want people to know that I have
The only way to take action is through this primitive means."
Roland said as he took out a small suitcase and put it on the table: "Take this first. Although we are gay and not in an employment relationship, you have helped me a lot, so you still have to show some respect."
Griffith saw that there were eighteen sets of fixed ammunition and a small number of exquisite accessories in the small box.
“These are the Conviction upgrade sets.
“Arcane Shotgun can cause close-range damage, and the damage caused can be fed back to the holder for treatment.
“The new adamantine bullet has an improved formula, enhanced range and penetration. Have you ever felt that the trajectory of a shot beyond 25 yards is unstable? We have finally solved this problem.”
I don’t think so, I always shoot people in the face... Griffith nodded noncommittally, pointed to the last ammunition and asked:
"what about this?"
This is a black ammunition flowing with an aura of chaos, so deep that it seems to be dripping with ink. Griffith heard bursts of elusive murmurs, as if something was haunting the shadows, watching him.
“No. 12 puncture bomb, high accuracy, high...Ehhh!? What? I, I got it wrong, I got it wrong!”
Roland shouted in a low voice and shook his head in embarrassment: "This is the Abyss Bomb, an unsuccessful experiment. It is made of Abyss Evil Iron and has strong explosive and destructive power. The target is hit
There will be some strange things happening nearby, very strange things. This weird thing will interfere with the elements in the air, and its trajectory is completely unpredictable. It even flew back from a distance of ten yards and injured the shooter. I took it back.
I’ll give you something else.”
"No need!" Griffith pressed the lid of the box, "I'll give it a try. Let's talk now."
…
The information about the battle in Medini came from the information provided by Roland a few weeks ago. The Medini Academy has hidden high-level sealed objects that violate the treaty, and a hidden force is preparing to seize them. It is not convenient for Roland to take action, but he hopes that someone else can take action.
interfere in an official capacity.
After careful consideration, Griffith did not report this information to the military. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the Stormtrooper squadron from Odessa and conducted a raid on the port of Medini.
Griffith took out the battle capture and carefully showed it to Roland:
"I captured some of the sealed artifacts, namely the ancient book "Lin Yuan Collection" and the Ring of Life. Girls from the Kui Mansha family are also on this ship. However, the most important target, Naira, may be in charge of something extremely powerful.
The sealed object became very dangerous. When I was at a certain distance from him, I was unable to move, my body was in a state of accelerated aging, and I almost died.
“Count Roland, these people and objects are very powerful and dangerous, why do you want to interfere with their actions?”
Roland looked at the two captured sealed artifacts and said slowly:
“You must know Aaron, right?”
Aaron is a second-year student in the Magic Department in the same class as Griffith. As early as the beginning of his enrollment, the school took extra care of him. When the giant sea monster attacked the Flying Leaf that was transporting freshmen, he was supposed to be on the same ship.
Aaron is moving through other routes under the protection of guards. Headmaster Tiberion pays close attention to him. According to legend, he defeated the terrifying Lord of Dark Arts when he was still in his infancy, and was also attacked by deadly black magic.
The only surviving bloodline of the family.
Aaron was prophesied to bring balance between light and darkness.
In the subsequent attack on the Keep, Aaron went deep into the core of the ruins of the Whispering Forest alone, trying to find the powerful Philosopher's Stone. It was also there that Griffith and Aaron fought.
Whether this series of actions was based on Aaron's own will or whether he was controlled by some kind of existence is still uncertain. After that, the famous young man remained silent, which was a potential danger to Griffith.
Roland said:
“Beyond our world, in the void and in the spirit world, powerful mysteries linger. They are the Outer Gods, or Old Gods.
"The Immortal God is one of them. Before the advent ceremony in Odessa was destroyed, part of his body and power crossed the barriers of the plane and arrived in this world. Before he could take shape, the broken plane passage was destroyed
Shapeless limbs and remaining fragments are scattered in this world.
“These fragments possess powerful and dangerous power, and the power of many wizards and extraordinary people has been strengthened like never before. They have been able to pry into mysterious knowledge, and their use of magic has become more mature. The Holy See of the Seven Righteous Gods has benefited even more.
“The mystery of the whole world is enhanced by this.”
Griffith listened quietly. This may be the reason why the fabric of life in the Void Realm can still carry out conspiracies in the presence of the Seven Gods and many forces. The noble beings and their followers wandered in the sky like vultures,
Waiting to share the body.
Roland continued:
“This is not the first time that alien gods have interfered in our world.
"More than a year ago, in 1443, a mysterious cult began to spread among the half-elf veterans of Canaan. At that time, you were still fighting on the Eastern Front. An elf commander was killed because of this, and another noble lady was captured by the cultists.
Live and prepare to be used as a sacrifice to the evil consciousness.
"Fortunately, the officials arrived in time and cleared out the cult. According to the cult tokens and clues found, this was a hidden ancient god's belief, pointing to the ancient god who was in charge of plagues and dreams. He was named "Sleeping in the Abyss"
In the name of "the master", "sending dreams to the creatures waiting to be rescued". This summer, when you and Miss Villanoy were in danger, the most active enemies were the believers of this master.
"The Lord's sect was suppressed before it took shape. However, the matter was not understood. Since then, not only half-elves, but also more and more high-status elven wizards have become his followers. Perhaps, the sect
Being suppressed is exactly what He expected. The official response is like a futile joke. The more severe the sanctions are to cut off the pollution of reality by external gods, the faster the mysterious existence will spread.
“These high-dimensional beings become real through description, and their powerful forces are tempting the creatures of this world at all times, serving their plot to infiltrate into the real world. Their arrival can be delayed, but is unstoppable..."
Griffith fell into deep thought.
Roland paused for a while and continued:
“The next step is the problem we have to face.
"For almost all gods, when he cannot walk in the world, he needs an agent to announce his will, and when necessary, he has to fight for him. The appearance of each agent requires a huge cost.
The price, but relative, will also shake up the pattern of power and the balance of psychic energy. We refer to these agents as
