Black sail

Chapter 628 VIII. Land Mine Man

On the evening of September 7th, in the capital of Alan.

The city has been caught up in a frenzy of pageantry and gambling.

Even in the early hours of the morning, there were fireworks hitting the sky. As the stargazing festival approached, the many giant celestial bodies, several moons of various colors, and the brilliant Milky Way were even more real and dazzling.

The indulgence exuding from this enthusiasm climbed along the veins of the Gothic high-rise buildings and gathered at the Imperial Arena, condensing into a summer mist with a smell of rust.

In an inconspicuous hotel, the incessant sound of gas supply from the gas pipe outside the window strangled all the jubilation from the outside world. Only a tiger man was looking at the radio transceiver with a gloomy expression.

This machine has some problems in the Yalan Imperial Capital. According to Mo Yutong from the Heavenly Kingdom Port headquarters, the rapid development of the Yalan Imperial Capital New City Industrial Zone is much more efficient than Heavenly Kingdom Port.

There should be interception measures, but they are not very mature.

Under Mo Yutong's guidance, he adjusted the parameters and changed the radio wave to shortwave.

Because the job Micah was going to do was so cruel, a machine was also installed on the Vatican's special train that was transporting Zote's body to facilitate instant communication with Swann.

Swan in the Imperial Capital must have the most accurate information. If there is any accident, for example, the Holy See realizes that all of Zote's troops have been killed, there is no such thing as the last surviving troops, and there is no dragon corpse, then Mika should jump out of the car quickly and don't come to the Imperial Capital to die.

But fortunately everything is normal.

But what made Swan brainstorm was what Micah said. Now Micah has entered the territory of Aran. Even though the land area of ​​Aran is terrifying, the communication delay is far less than that of Paradise Port. It is almost instant communication.

"You mean, someone in the Holy See has already discovered it, and they chose to help you, or the person who was chopped off by Li Site in the secret port of Linden City?"

Swan was a little overwhelmed for a moment. He knew that such a tough job would inevitably have unexpected consequences, but this was too damn unexpected.

"I know it sounds outrageous, but this is the situation. It's the blind old man named Marcus. Damn it, there really is a Dragon Lord! Damn it! I can't swear, He will hear it, everywhere, in all the years, even outside of time. Dragon Lord, we respect your teeth! My son lied to you."

Micah's worldview was completely overturned. He was really scared. Li Site was a complete idiot. He kept complaining about this and that every day. Wouldn't that bring disaster to himself? If it was really like what the people in the sect said, creating all the worlds and spirits at will, destroying countless planes at will, and everything returning to the circle, billions of worlds were just the insignificant thoughts in Brahma's dream, even if Ge Liheng had several emperors, I'm afraid they would be killed instantly! Damn it!

Although there is arcane magic and various races in the Western Continent, people here are actually quite materialistic and believe that it is part of the laws of nature. Even if there are monster hunters, to the people of the Western Continent it is like a rodent extermination expert cleaning the rats in the city's sewers. Even if necromancy controls corpses, there is nothing strange about it and it is very reasonable.

But... coming back to life and becoming young again is definitely a miracle. The reactions of the people here are no different from those in Li Site's hometown. You see a dead old man coming back to life and becoming young again, and you can't help but wonder if it's amazing.

Be it a dragon or a stone tablet, Micah thinks it is very scientific and reasonable, but this shit is far-fetched. You can't see it in any documentary records except for cerebral religious stories and biographies written by charlatans and stupid adventurers who drank fake wine.

"Are you being... controlled?"

Swan thought it necessary to inform List that the operation had failed. Micah was extremely bold, but unfortunately he died before he could accomplish his mission. Now he must be surrounded by heavy cans and he himself is exposed. He should leave the imperial capital immediately. As for Salette, his life and death are determined by fate.

"I don't know what to say. He said it was part of the True Decree. I asked him what the True Decree was but he refused to tell me. He was just a riddler, saying that only he knew the answer. It was probably about some catastrophe or something. Could it be related to Brother Hai? He used to talk about the expeditionary army every day, and I was really shocked. But it was really Marcus. Damn, he's younger than me, in great shape, and a good time to visit prostitutes. He looks pretty handsome compared to when he was young."

Micah was already somewhat incoherent.

The two of them chatted on the radio for more than ten minutes before Swann barely understood the situation.

Anyway, Marcus came back to life, and for some extremely magical reasons, he is still considered a teammate now.

It's not that he didn't stop Micah, but he just stopped one of the things, taking Micah's new girlfriend away, indicating that now is not the time for her to be exposed.

Perhaps in the so-called "True Decree of the Dragon Lord", Zoth's body is not worth mentioning at all compared to the dark history of the Eternal Sect during the period of demon occupation.

Swan also learned about the Dark Scripture from Micah. In the ancient ruins in the Boneyard, Micah learned deeper secrets from a neurotic adventure group.

Now it is still unknown whether the high-ranking person of the Eternal Sect is human or not. The Pope is a complete psychopath. Even when attending formal occasions on important days, he is wrapped tightly with a mask welded to his face. Like his mother Heywood, he is very frugal with words and has paranoid delusions. Apart from the cognitive errors caused by the fanaticism of his believers, he is a well-known lunatic, a man with bipolar disorder, but... the target of the modification is you. Who knows if it is a human or a fucking undead? It's really a landmine.

The history of the Eternal Sect's existence is even earlier than that of the country of Alan. It seems that all the undead, demons, or other things that came from the other dimensions were organized into a special organization, hidden under the theocracy, hiding in the national political power of Alan, and covering it up for hundreds of years in an extremely clever way.

With the rise of the Emperor, this organization was also reborn, and even overwhelmed the Holy Spirit Church, which had the largest believer base, and became powerful.

Marcus only came to take away Micah's girlfriend. In order to prevent this Rashomon from being too much of a Rashomon, Lister still greatly underestimated this matter. He thought he was driving a tiger to devour a wolf, but in fact, because of the flapping of Micah's butterfly wings, the entire Western Continent... would have to explode in advance, and Morrison's doomsday survival base would really come in handy.

But Swan also captured the most crucial message.

That is... that damn Lister, who actually had a face-to-face talk with the resurrected Marcus.

"Wait a minute..." Swan confirmed that Micah had entered the country and would arrive the day after tomorrow. Now he should immediately contact Mullon and List to see if this is the case. If he is sure, then there will be no problem.

However... Li Site is a little too wary of the people in the gang, but this is not wrong. The structure of Black Sail is complicated to begin with, to put it bluntly, it is easy for internal collapse.

At this moment, Li Site and his party also took a train from the capital of Mulong to Drifting City and then to Golden Palm Port.

"Sky Curtain Murder!"

It was Ryan who received the report. He suddenly blurted out four meaningless words, which made Swan go crazy. Is it really okay for everyone to waste silver coins like this? It costs a lot of money to send a letter, and you only send a few words? Li Site was right to be on guard, otherwise Ryan's big tongue would make the whole world know that someone in the Eternal Church had been resurrected.

Swan was surprised. Logically, the Eternal Sect would have publicized it as the manifestation of the Dragon Lord, but that was not the case. The water was... too deep, and it was terrifying to think about it carefully.

I guess this is a real fucking resurrection, not some role-playing.

"I have to speak to Lister right away."

Half a minute later.

"What's wrong? Did something unexpected happen during the Continental Martial Arts Competition? It doesn't matter, just relax. If there is any problem, just run. If Sarrett dies, that bitch Kaiden succeeds, and the Emperor gets mad, I can handle it."

Li Site's tone was unprecedentedly arrogant.

Swann was stunned. Although he couldn't show his weakness, even if Li Site was just speaking for show, his mental strength was pretty strong.

"Something went wrong. Micah has entered the country now, but he is with someone from the Holy See. It's Marcus, the man you killed in Linden City's Secret Harbor. I heard him talk to you. I want to confirm it."

Although Swann's worldview was overturned, he had the calmness unique to thieves, and the unique skill of controlling the secretion of hormones in thrilling moments. He spoke very rationally and grasped all the contradictions.

"That's true. Considering many factors, I didn't make it public. I reached a deal with him. For now... he can be trusted, but it's only for now. I will tell Micah to take it easy."

"That's good. The plan to destroy the relationship between the royal court and the sect has come to nothing. Marcus took away the nightmare demon based on some oracle. As for the rest, he won't care."

"Oh...that's good. Everything is still going according to plan. I'll tell you more later."

"I understand your considerations."

After the call ends.

Inside the train in Mulong, the whistling sound of the train was a bit noisy, and outside the window was the undulating sandy hills under the starry night, which was magnificent.

"What's wrong? What did Swan say? Was he caught for soliciting prostitution?"

Ryan didn't care at all. All he could think about was going to the Narrow Sea and how he could hang out with Brother Ao. Anyway, there was work for Brother Ao to do, and the girls would do it themselves.

"Nothing, everything went well."

Li Site picked his ears. He had considered that there might be remnants of the puppet government in the royal capital, so he did not let Sharon come over. She stayed in Drifting City.

He seemed to have made up his mind not to let her be sad.

The most urgent task is to comfort Micah first. Even if Micah is ruthless, he cannot do this job without a god-like psychological quality.

The western border of Aram.

After receiving the call from Lister, Micah's heart finally died, which meant that Marcus was really resurrected. He looked at the guy in front of him who was ten years younger than him, and his throat rolled.

"I want to know some details about Zote's death. Also, try to reduce this kind of long-distance communication after entering the imperial capital. It is possible to be captured."

Marcus finally broke free from the endless nightmare.

Yes.

In the end, it turns out that the deputy director of the Witch Hunting Secret Service is just a mortal.
