Navigator: I Have a Legendary Exploration Log

Chapter 92 The Storm Is Brewing

Although Buck is a third-order extraordinary being, his rank and experience far surpass those of his own mere first-order self.

But Chalice is not without his own methods.

At least this [Exploration Log] is a being whose rank far exceeds that of the third tier.

Because none of the people Chalis has encountered so far have been able to perceive the mysterious diary in his mind.

Therefore, Chalice sometimes doesn't even try to hide it from others, using it rather "recklessly".

It consumed a lot of Legend Points.

Several key questions were divined in succession.

Chalice finally confirmed that his brief contact with the evil god statue had not been tainted by "cause and effect" and would not attract any terrifying being to launch a surprise attack on him.

Pollution and erosion are natural phenomena.

But this is unavoidable.

Everyone has a Homecoming train.

The degree of contamination varies; for example, Eddie, who was in close proximity to the statue just now, was the unfortunate one with the most severe contamination.

All three, including Chalice and Thorpe, are extraordinary beings, possessing a certain degree of resistance to contamination due to their own spirituality.

But this kid is just a mortal.

Although I didn't directly use my hands, I still spent a long time poking around with a wooden pole.

That's just the life of a boatswain.

Eddie was willing to take on this dangerous job.

Even though the other sailors had previously looked down on him because of their seniority and ability, they would never dare to underestimate this young man who hadn't even grown his first hair.

Because Eddie led by example and successfully carried out the captain's orders.

This is an almost impeccable achievement in navigation.

People's thinking is very simple.

They usually get annoyed seeing Eddie dominating them.

But when it really mattered, he stepped up, so there's nothing more to say.

The deck on the top floor of the Homecoming ship as it sets sail anew.

The sea breeze ruffled the hems of Cherries' and Buck's clothes, and also brushed against Cherries' sleeveless arm.

"Captain Cherries, your performance today has truly changed my perception of you once again."

""

Buck exclaimed sincerely, "I originally thought you were just a capable, adventurous young man with a certain moral compass, but now—"

"I don't think these advantages are the point anymore. The point is that you are a good person, and I am now very relieved about Luca's life after he boarded the ship."

"A good person?"

'

Chalice repeated softly, "Being a good person isn't a compliment in this world. Often, you have to be ruthless and cruel to survive. But—I'll take that as a compliment!"

"certainly!"

Buck raised an eyebrow. "You should know how other captains would handle this situation without me having to tell you."

"Even with stronger resistance, they would not risk their lives themselves, but instead ordered the sailors to seal it."

"You know I'm right, in fact, this is what most captains do without thinking. You, a captain who actively takes risks, are the outlier—"

"I've always been an outcast—"

Cheryl chuckled softly. "That's why Professor Sartre was so great—"

"If he hadn't taken me in and taught me skills, I, with my peculiar appearance and inability to communicate, would have sunk to the bottom of the sea or died in a ditch long ago."

""

Buck nodded in deep agreement and said, "Yes!"

""

"Thank you, Sartre! You've trained an excellent captain for humanity!"

Then, he changed the subject.

"Chilis, there are some things I must tell you. Although my examination didn't reveal anything, but—"

"These things that crawl out of the abyss not only enjoy catalyzing mutations, but also enjoy unknowingly planting the seeds of depravity in people."

"At the time, it seemed like there was no problem, and things might have continued normally, but one day, the pollution that had been quietly eroding the spirit suddenly erupted, and a perfectly normal person became a degenerate, unable to live a normal life anymore—"

"The Fallen?"

"That's our general term for those who have undergone extraordinary transformations."

Buck explained, "Some of them have taken too much or contra-sequence potions, while others have been corrupted by the Abyss."

"These people are extremely dangerous, most of them are mentally unstable, and their abilities are very strange."

"It's best to avoid contact with them. Any island that still maintains order will exterminate the fallen! This isn't just a conflict between order and chaos; it's a war between humanity and a different species!"

Listening to Buck's iron-blooded and ruthless declaration, Cherries nodded silently.

The two then talked about the statue of the evil god.

Buck remained tight-lipped about it, saying, "Some things are contaminated just by knowing about them. Let the church deal with this hot potato!"

"Once we get to Maro Island, the church will give you a thorough inspection to eliminate any potential pollution risks."

"good--

The sea area where the Returning Home ship was lying in ambush was not far away.

The previous pursuit was almost unscathed, and the deck accident had no impact on the ship's speed.

The port on Maro Island.

.

After reporting the situation, Cheryl watched the staff member stare wide-eyed, then ran away in a panic.

Armed guards surrounded the Homecoming, accompanied by three different types of priests with distinct clothing and personalities.

The nuns of the Radiant Church wore wide but not bulky plain white robes, their hair simply tied up, and the robes were only outlined with light gold thread, making them very simple.

The priests of the Storm Church wore dark blue uniforms with short trench coats embroidered with swirling wind and lightning patterns. They looked more like military personnel than church members.

The priests of the Molten Church are harder to judge. They are generally dark red, and they wear all sorts of things, from elaborate robes to vests that expose their strong shoulders.

Chalice had dealt with people from the church and had even used divination to confirm his situation, so he wasn't too worried.

After a thorough and meticulous inspection, the two unfortunate sailors were taken away by the Church of Radiance for purification.

The other crew members were free to move around after receiving a free "collective purification"!

However, Buck had only just extended an invitation to Cherries.

Just as Cheryl heard that the Corleone family would be treating him to the most luxurious cuisine, an urgent message came from the association's clerk.

"Director Black wants to see me? Now?"

"That's right! Lord Black heard you encountered that thing and sent me to take you there now—"

Chalice had no reason to refuse.

Because Blake was the inspector appointed by Jack.

Upon arriving at Maro Island, Cheryl would need to confirm the completion of this classified mission with Director Black.

But why in such a hurry?

Chalice was somewhat curious.

After agreeing with Buck to visit the Corleone family, Cherries followed the clerk to the Navigators' Association building on Maro Island.

We went up to the third floor again.

Still a private office.

Cherries met with Black, whom Jack had designated.

The middle-aged man, who was also bald, invited Cherries to sit opposite him and then got straight to the point.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Cherries! You're even younger than I expected!"

"I think you must be wondering why this mission happened to encounter the unexpected evil god statue. If I told you that this was not an accident, but something the association had anticipated, then I would say that it was something that happened long ago."

"Are you willing to listen to my explanation?"
