Cattleya couldn't remember how many years she had not experienced such warmth.
She tried her best to raise her head.
What caught my eye was the person who had appeared in my dreams countless times.
but.
How can it be?
"Hidden Sage..."
Bernadette frowned and stared at Cattleya's twinkling eyes.
Affected by the disorderly flow of knowledge, intermittent murmurs appeared in her ears. However, when a certain extraordinary item on her body trembled, the murmurs disappeared.
"Don't move." Bernadette showed an expression that Cattleya had never seen before, "I'll send someone over to help."
Shake people?
Cattleya doesn't quite understand.
Then, she heard the mysterious queen's almost 'perfunctory' prayer.
"The ruler of demons; the master of aliens; the source of endless curses. Lord of the Abyss, please cast your gaze."
Buzz——
Accompanying Bernadette's words.
The entire captain's cabin began to glow with a strange red light.
Distorted, depraved.
Unspeakable terror gradually spread.
The eyes on Cattleya's body seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. They faded away in a panic and turned into a ball of mucus that was constantly squirming and covered with eyeballs.
Bernadette snorted coldly, trying to seal the pollution left by the 'Hidden Sage'.
Unexpectedly, a hand stretched out out of thin air, collected the mucus, and disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this, Bernadette quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jon."
Cattleya:???
What?
Everything happened too fast.
It even made her a little unable to react.
Queen just now?
And, ‘Mr. Jon’?
The mark of the 'Hidden Sage' that had troubled him for many years just...disappeared?
Bernadette glanced at Cattleya with her peripheral vision and reminded: "Thank you, why are you standing there in a daze."
Cattleya opened her mouth.
Meeting Bernadette's serious eyes, she quickly arranged her appearance and saluted Ming Mingxu: "Thank you, Mr. Jon."
Learn from one another.
It's not a problem for her at all.
After saying that, Bernadette relaxed.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
In the rush, there was no time to prepare essential oils, blood and animal bones.
The ceremony should be provincial, and the etiquette afterwards must be sufficient to show respect to the true God.
Bernadette looked at Cattleya.
Coincidentally, Cattleya was also looking at her.
Eyes intersect.
The atmosphere became somewhat silent.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the captain's room.
Cattleya calmed down and asked, "Who?"
"Captain, Frank is in trouble again. Come out and take a look!"
Upon hearing a certain name, a trace of deep helplessness flashed across Cattleya's face.
But there are more important things waiting for her to do now than that crazy first mate.
"I know." Cattleya said in a deep voice, "I'll be over there right after I finish my work here."
Bernadette stared at the child in front of her who was different from her memory, and deliberately asked: "Who is Frank?"
"The first mate of the Future, a talented but extremely dangerous... uh, plant expert." Cattleya's expression was a little unnatural when she mentioned 'Frank'.
Bernadette was noncommittal.
She didn't care too much about this, she was just looking for an excuse to talk to Cattleya.
Scanning the furnishings in the captain's room, he nodded slightly and said, "Cattleya, you haven't changed. You still like these magic items."
Somehow, Cattleya's eyes were a little red.
But she concealed her emotions well and deliberately turned her head away, "Mysticism and astrology, these are what you taught me."
"Yes, I taught you." Bernadette agreed.
The air solidifies.
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Cattleya is weak.
Since Bernadette was present, she was too embarrassed to prepare medicine for her injuries.
Bernadette.
Um……
Emotional intelligence is lacking in some aspects.
For a moment, he was not aware of Cattleya's condition.
Finally, Cattleya couldn't bear it any longer and took the initiative to say, "Queen...if you don't mind, I'm going to prepare some potions."
Bernadette realized it later and coughed lightly, "You can do whatever you want."
Cattleya calmed down and began to prepare the medicine.
Like Bernadette, she is an extraordinary person of the 'Hermit' path, leaning towards the mysterious side of knowledge itself.
The most knowledgeable person is Qiang Ji, who has mastered countless magic and secret techniques.
Just make a potion, it's easy to do.
soon.
Cattleya drank a whole bottle of homemade light green potion.
Visible to the naked eye, her complexion has obviously improved a lot.
Bernadette couldn't help but comment: "The cave salamander and fang-toothed fish are handled very skillfully, but it's a pity that the extraction of bluebells still needs some work. Otherwise, the effect of this potion could be three points better."
"Is that so? I will remember it next time." Cattleya lowered her head instinctively.
In the blink of an eye, she suddenly realized.
This is the future number.
A ship that belongs to her.
She is not a former apprentice.
I have also left Mystery for many years...
"Queen." Cattleya bravely spoke: "Excuse me? Why are you here?"
Bernadette said truthfully: "Looking for you."
She shook her head, "Destiny is really a wonderful thing."
Without further ado, Bernadette briefly told Cattleya her experience.
For example, she is currently located in Backlund in the Loen Kingdom.
For another example, she was able to come here because of an instrument invented by Bonova Gustave, which combined with the teleportation ability of the "Gate", could reach the target in an instant, thousands of miles away.
As for the delivery conditions...
Bernadette didn't say much.
Cattleya didn't ask any more questions.
In short.
It's better to come early than to come late.
As soon as the transmission ended, Bernadette saw Cattleya who was tortured to the point of death by the 'Hidden Sage'.
Only then did the scene just happen.
"So, Queen, what do you want from me?" Cattleya asked cautiously.
At the same time, her heart was beating wildly.
I don't know if it's because of the medicine just now, or something else.
"I once saw a corner of the future and knew that your destiny was not with me, so I expelled you from the Mystery..." Bernadette looked a little unnatural, "But now many things have changed. Cattleya
, you are the child I raised, I don’t want anything accident to happen to you.”
After hearing this, Cattleya smiled bitterly and said, "Queen, do you see a new future again?"
She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Thank you, I am living a good life. I have my own life, a new goal, and a group of reliable crew members. What accidents can happen?"
Bernadette paused and said in a strange tone: "But you were almost tortured by the 'Hidden Sage' just now and lost control."
Cattleya was speechless for a moment.
She coughed lightly and said harshly: "That... was just an accident."
"Look, there must be an accident." Bernadette smiled.
Cattleya was anxious and was about to retort.
Suddenly, another crew member knocked on the door frantically outside, "Captain, Captain! If you don't come out, we will be wiped out! It's terrible, there are crawling cows everywhere!"
Said.
Bernadette and Cattleya clearly heard many cows braying.
Three black lines appeared on Cattleya's forehead.
Damn Frank Lee.
Why do you want to cause trouble at a time like this!
"Queen, please wait a moment. I'll be right back." Cattleya picked up the short staff and astrology device placed on the table and walked out in a hurry.
Bernadette saw her and said softly: "I'll go with you."
Cattleya looked back, as if she didn't expect that the Queen would care about such a trivial matter.
Bernadette had no explanation.
After being promoted to 'Master of Prophecy (Sequence 3)', she gained some power to spy on destiny.
In that corner of the future.
Cattleya will be an important part of the fight against the 'Hidden Sage'!
The two of them walked out of the captain's cabin one after another.
Then, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Countless tentacles are crawling around.
The most curious thing is that those tentacles are still covered with brown and black hair, and a big mouth is connected to the top.
Trace the origins.
On the main part of the tentacles, seven or eight huge bull-headed octopuses were patrolling around, their round eyes strangely revealing the calm look unique to herbivores.
Well……
You can imagine it.
In that case, there were probably seven or eight miniature eight-tailed beasts squirming around in disorder on the ship, leaving milky white mucus all over the ground wherever they passed.
Bernadette has seen many big scenes.
Whether it's preventing George III from becoming a god, or assisting Adam Amon in destroying the Eternal Sun.
These are jobs that involve the level of a true god, and would be impossible for ordinary people to do.
but.
Whether it's George III or the Eternal Sun.
The psychological shock was not as violent as the bull-headed octopus in front of me.
"What's this……"
Bernadette, who was regarded as a saint, looked at Cattleya blankly.
To be honest, Cattleya was so embarrassed now that she wanted to dig out a crack in the ground and crawl in. She could only bite the bullet and said: "My first mate, Frank Lee, is dedicated to the hybridization of organisms and plants. Obviously, everything in front of him is...
It’s his latest achievement.”
"Haha." Bernadette laughed dryly.
Hybridization of organisms and plants?
This is too...
Tsk.
Not good to rate.
Shaking her head, she stopped Cattleya who was about to take action.
With a wave of his hand, a blood-stained heavy stone door appeared out of thin air in front of him.
'Mysterious Reappearance', the core ability of the 'Hermit' path of extraordinary people, can draw power from the occult knowledge they have mastered, and create magic or witchcraft. The fewer people know the corresponding occult knowledge, the less it will be spread.
The spell is more powerful.
The current magic was named 'Gate of the Abyss' by Bernadette.
The door opens.
Many red chains protruded from it, tightly wrapping around the bull-headed octopuses.
After a period of heart-wrenching noise, the chain began to be recovered.
The bull-headed octopuses struggled desperately, but they could not break away from the purest power of the abyss.
Cattleya and the crew were so frightened that they dared not move.
Although the power of the abyss is not aimed at them, even if they are contaminated with a trace of pollution, they may fall into uncontrollable depravity.
It wasn't until the 'Gate of the Abyss' disappeared that the entire Future was like a drowning man starting to breathe again. Everyone's face could not help but reveal the joy of surviving the disaster.
Only a man wearing overalls and a white shirt knelt down and wailed, "My cow!"
He was about thirty years old, with a strong build and thick hair, so much so that his exposed forearms seemed to be covered with a brown sweater.
The cause of all the unrest: Frank Lee!
A series of needle-like gazes were directed at him.
But Frank Lee seemed not to notice at all and was still wailing there.
"beat!"
I don’t know who shouted first.
The crew of the Future took out all their fears on this crazy first mate.
Bernadette thought for a while, but gave up the idea of stepping forward and punching the guy.
If a child is ignorant, how can he be beaten on the spur of the moment?
At this moment, Cattleya said worriedly: "Queen, have you... converted to the 'Abyss'?"
Just like the original Bonova.
Cattleya was also worried that her master and adoptive mother would go astray.
It felt like the stepmother who always had a smile on her face, was gentle and kind, and suddenly one day turned into a frivolous blonde hottie with black skin and leopard print.
The most important thing is that next to her is a gangster with yellow hair and a nose ring who smiles evilly at you and raises his middle finger.
That kind of thing...
No!!!
"You misunderstood, Cattleya." Bernadette reached out and wanted to touch the other person's head.
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, her hand was hanging in the air.
In the end, he did not go further and just explained: "The true God of the 'Abyss' path is my protector. He never asks anyone to believe in him. On the contrary, he is deliberately reducing the number of extraordinary people in this path."
Cattleya:???
She had never heard of anything so outrageous.
The queen is indeed obsessed with it.
the other side.
Backlund, Joestar Manor.
Waving his hands to disperse the illusory scene, Jon crossed his legs and said to Azik: "What do you think?"
Azik laughed dryly, "That first mate is indeed...different."
After pondering for a moment, he seemed to be quite emotional, "Now I know why the Church of the Earth must expel this person. He is simply... simply..."
Apparently, even Death's Son was in awe of Frank Lee's creativity.
"It's a good thing to have ideas, as long as they are used for the right purpose." Old God Jon said, "Look, the octopus cow he just made can be used on the battlefield. It is not afraid of swords, guns, water and fire, and has extremely strong recovery ability.
It has no pain and is simply a perfect conquest weapon."
Azik didn't speak.
He couldn't imagine how a group of ordinary people would face those octopus cows.
Frank Lee is obviously only a Sequence 5. He is obviously only a Sequence 5. How did he get such destructive power?
"Don't underestimate him." Jon seemed to see through what Azik was thinking, "That guy has been personally inherited by the unspeakable god."
Hearing this, Azik suddenly became nervous.
He knows the secrets deep in the starry sky.
Could it be that Frank Lee is the pawn of those evil entities that penetrate into the real world?
"Don't get me wrong, there is no pollution on him, it's just that his thoughts are close to certain beings."
Jon smiled and said: "It's a pity that such a talent is buried as the first mate on a pirate ship. I decided to give him an entire research institute to specialize in the research of biological weapons for combat in the Eastern Continent. Do you think it's a good idea?"
Hearing this, Azik twitched the corner of his mouth in a rare gesture.
After thinking for a long time, he said seriously: "Yes."
Pity those monsters in the God-Forsaken Land.
How many sins have been committed to usher in such a wonderful thing?
