Their commission was suspicious.
Page 1576
But the Deep Sea Bishop was unhappy: So you've all been playing me! I'm not human anymore!
Then the Deep Sea Bishop split in two, turning into a two-headed man-eating plant.
This is the infamous Jeston of the Sea, the Deep Sea Bishop who's so bad it's almost laughable.
Then... this guy was beaten so badly by Skadi, who wields the Staff of the Seaborn, which has a great advantage against Seaborn, and Specter, who wields a long-handled circular saw, which also has a great advantage against swords. He was beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
This once again made Goredia, who was only carrying ordinary weapons, look rather dull.
And Laurentina? She's still on her way.
By the time Laurentina arrived, it was too late; the Deep Sea Bishop had been beaten to a pulp.
Accompanying the Black Ghost Shark were the judges, both high and low, of the Iberian Tribunal.
The Grand Judge is a position, while the Junior Judge is a descriptive term.
The two judges, who hadn't even managed to pick up the Deep Sea Bishop's head and were unaware of his death, ultimately focused their attention on the Sea Heir's chief speaker, who was severely injured but not dead and had been dragged outside the basement by Skadi and the others.
This confirmed to the two that there really was a trace of the Deep Sea Church beneath the church, so they decided to blow up the church and take out the Sea Heir.
But the power to blow up the church would injure other people in the city.
Although they could explain to the two judges that the Deep Sea Bishop had been killed by the three of them, that wouldn't protect the talking Sea Heir. Skadi didn't know what Chen Luo wanted this for, but it was Chen Luo's request, and Skadi would do it.
Unsure of what to do, Skadi ultimately decided to continue opening the treasure chests to see if she could obtain some of Chen Luo's equipment.
Chen Luo's equipment should include items that can modify consciousness, right? Like that Feather Dust.
But this time, all that came out was a note, which instructed Skadi to make Chen Luo's hidden mode, which was being carried away by the doll in Skadi's hand while he was asleep, visible to everyone.
Although Skadi didn't know what it was for, she did it anyway.
Strangely, after glancing at Chen Luo's phantom image floating above his head in the bubble, and then at the soul lamp beside him, the Grand Inquisitor decided to give Skadi and the others some face.
Laurentina was quite puzzled by this. Why should she give Chen Luo face?
Although the Grand Inquisitor claimed to believe in the Deep Sea Hunter, it was obvious to everyone that he changed his attitude after seeing Chen Luo.
As for the real reason...
In fact, religion plays a significant role in politics in Iberia, and the country's political system is divided into the royal family and the state church.
After the Great Tranquility, the royal family fled, the army disbanded, and the State Church, which practiced the highest arts, established a Court of Judgment and summoned a disciplinary army to maintain order in this fragmented nation.
Iberia at this stage is a typical theocratic state.
When it comes to the topic of religion, the people of Terra often discuss Laterano and Iberia together, because the state religion of Iberia originated from Laterano religion, and the Iberians' pure faith in Laterano religion is something that even many Laterano people admire.
It was formerly directly under the Lateran Church of the Iberian State Church, but gradually separated from Lateranism and became its own independent entity.
On the icon of the state religion after the separation, the Lateran musket held by the saint was replaced with a sword and lantern representing the Iberians.
Generally speaking, it is quite normal for many different gods in mythology to make cameo appearances in other pantheons. The pantheons believed in by the Iberians and Laterans are almost all from the same pantheon.
Angel Killer's duties include: Judgment, Court of Judgment, Grand Judge, Soul Lamp, Lantern Bearer...
Although Chen Luo's identity and mission were not clearly stated, he actually held some positions within the Iberian faith.
However, here, Chen Luo's true form is actually a lantern.
Faith alone might not be enough to sculpt the prototype of Chen Luo, nor would it have such substantial influence. But the reason the Grand Inquisitor could recognize Chen Luo was because Chen Luo had performed miracles in Iberia...
This relates to the large pile of papers that Skadi opened from another pouch.
That was a report that recorded predictions of all natural disasters that would occur or would not occur within the borders of Iberia over the next 10 years.
Iberia used to develop rapidly, relying on high technology derived from the sea, but that changed with the Great Calm. The whole country was almost ruined.
Due to special circumstances, Iberia had almost no contact with land-based countries, and the courts were even unable to summon messengers of natural disasters.
How can natural disasters be predicted without a messenger? How can the migration routes of mobile cities be planned before a natural disaster strikes if it cannot be predicted?
The answer is: Give up!
Until 10 years ago, someone found a dozen disaster prediction reports under the icon, bound in almost the same way as the huge pile of papers Skadi had pulled out.
The last page of the report features the Soul Lamp symbol and a blurry portrait of Chen Luo.
This disaster prediction report has enabled Iberia to minimize its exposure to natural disasters over the next 10 years, giving the already struggling country a much-needed respite.
Almost everyone believed it was a divine manifestation.
Who, besides the gods, could accurately predict natural disasters within the next 10 years?
Although it is strange that the world consciousness makes this judgment, in the world consciousness's view, interfering with the fate of a large country in a certain world is acceptable in the context of identity missions, but interfering with the fate of an important character... is not acceptable.
That's so weird.
This is why Specter was able to infiltrate the Inquisition duo by wielding the Soul Lamp.
The Grand Inquisitor certainly knew that Specter wasn't an Inquisitor, but she was holding the Soul Lamp.
Ultimately, Ghost Shark and the others were invited to visit Iberia because Skadi had given them another note that said they could hand over the Soul Lamp to the Iberian Court for a period of time to admire (Chen Luo's faith power). The group was worried, so they went along.
Compared to the original storyline where Kal'tsit stopped the Grand Inquisitor from blowing up the church and was then taken to the courtroom for questioning, this is much better now.
Kal'tsit is indeed omniscient, but she doesn't have much influence.
……
"That's roughly what happened," Skadi said to Chen Luo from inside a speeding SUV.
"It seems you've gained quite a bit during your two-week trip. That's good, that's good," Chen Luo said with satisfaction as she floated in mid-air.
"I didn't realize you had so many identities. Right, dear intelligence officer?" Godia sneered.
"Huh, aren't you a psychologist?" Ghost Shark was taken aback.
If Ghost Shark remembers correctly, Chen Luo was the Deepsea Hunter's psychologist.
“No, actually, Chen Luo was an investigator on Agor's body, the only deep-sea investigator, who passed on the intelligence to the deep-sea hunters after obtaining it, so he could also be considered an intelligence officer. And being a psychologist was his side job after he finished his investigator work,” Greta said.
Among Laurentina, Specter, Skadi, and Grandia, Grandia is the only high-ranking Deepsea Hunter, so she knows more.
Goredia originally thought that Chen Luo's identity was only complicated in Agor, but she did not expect that Chen Luo's identity was even more complicated in other places besides Agor.
Chapter 1556 A Novel and Highly Effective Drug for Treating Oresthesia—HaiSi Oral Liquid!
Who would have thought that Agor's deep-sea investigator was actually an angel assassin from Lateran mythology? A god, a succubus, and... well, his identity is more complicated than anyone could imagine.
"It's so complicated." Ghost Shark was a little dizzy as he listened to Grandia recount Chen Luo's identity.
“It’s good to be complicated. Who doesn’t have a few identities in life? A friend of mine once said that it’s more convenient to have more identities when walking in this world.”
"And then you created an identity that spanned the entire continent of Terra?"
"Pretty much, you'll get used to it."
“But I always felt that you weren’t very attached to these identities. At least you let us leave in advance, even though that judge named Eleanor seemed quite interested in you,” Laurentina said.
"I think you're the one who's interested in her, aren't you?" Chen Luo rolled her eyes at the deep-sea lesbian.
“If you really have a problem with her, I can write you a letter of recommendation so you can stay in the courtroom a little longer and accompany that Elene around. But in return, the Specter Shark is mine,” Chen Luo said, pointing to the white Specter Shark.
"You're dreaming!" Laurentina hugged Ghost Shark tightly.
"Alright, stop fooling around, we're in the car now," said Greta, who was driving.
At this moment, the four members of the Deep Sea Hunters were riding in an off-road vehicle, a gift from the Tribunal.
Gladys was the driver, Skadi was in the passenger seat, the two Specter Sharks were in the back, and Chen Luo was floating in the air being carried by Skadi holding that doll.
Chen Luo had just woken up, but in the last brocade pouch, he reminded Skadi to leave Iberia in the last hour of the 15 days, otherwise she would not be able to leave.
What if Chen Luo wakes up early? Why not just pretend to be asleep?
Nothing in the world is more troublesome than religion, especially since this wasn't a religion Chen Luo founded himself. So Chen Luo chose to run away.
However, Chen Luo and his group are still within the borders of Iberia.
"Are you really not reluctant to leave Iberia like this? After all, you must have a very high status in Iberia, at least it's more comfortable than staying on Rhodes Island. Because there's no longer that overly arrogant doctor to keep an eye on you."
“You don’t understand, do you? Sometimes it’s best for a god to just be a god. Although many people in the Inquisition do believe in gods, I am not a god myself. While those prediction reports might be helpful to them, it’s better to maintain this relationship. I’m satisfied with them occasionally offering some help when I need it,” Chen Luo said.
On the contrary, if one stays in the courtroom all the time, one might be disliked and shunned by some people.
Of course, the vast majority of people welcome it.
"At least I'm very free on Rhodes Island. I can slack off freely and run away freely."
"So how did you produce those forecast reports?"
"Based on reasonable predictions..."
"...If you don't want to talk about it, you can just say so." Greta believed Chen Luo? What a load of rubbish.
"Let's leave the matter of Iberia behind. Let's think of a way to help the coastal residents and those who are suffering because of the Great Tranquility." Chen Luo felt that he had inexplicably taken on another quest without any reward yet.
Although I might get commissions while I'm working, I'm working for free right now.
The reason Chen Luo put some pressure on himself was not because he had nothing to do, but because the Great Tranquility was, in a sense, also a result of Isamara's actions.
Even though he didn't do it himself, Chen Luo felt a strange sense of responsibility because he was now raising Isamara in his sea of consciousness.
Moreover, Skadi and the others should also have a deep understanding of the dazed and confused state of the coastal areas after the Great Tranquility.
A group five-star commission might not be guaranteed, but at least a group four-star commission is possible.
Chen Luo had already instructed the assassins who had accompanied Skadi to summon numerous puppets using themselves as anchor points to travel through these coastal cities and provide assistance as much as possible.
In this process, Chen Luo might be able to use his [Feedback] talent to receive group four-star commissions through the puppets.
In short, you can give it a try.
Finally, I can find something to do for these dolls that I can give back to Chen Luo.
"Speaking of which, what about those people from the Deep Sea Church?"
"Kill them, kill them." Chen Luo waved his hand.
"How many have you killed?" Goddess asked.
Goredia harbored a deep-seated hatred for these deep-sea churches.
Since Skadi killed Isamara and she was driven ashore, Gangredia has been constantly destroying the Deep Sea Church's research institutes in various places.
During the process of destroying the Deep Sea Church, Gladys and Skadi also learned the true meaning of the Deep Sea Hunters' bloodline connection, and that Sea Siren did not attack the Deep Sea Hunters out of malice.
Meanwhile, Goredia also learned about Isamara from Skadi.
Grandia doesn't regret killing the Sealings in the past, but Isamara represents the hope of completely annihilating the Sealings scourge.
Unable to attack Isamara, Goredia had no choice but to find a way to kill the Deep Sea Church first.
"We've cleared 98.5% in these 15 days; let's leave the remaining 1.5% for now," Chen Luo said.
In 15 days, with the assassins' efficiency and the strategy provided by Chen Luo, they should have been able to wipe out all the bishops, leaders, and ordinary members of the Deep Sea Church. However, Chen Luo left one thing unattended.
"Entrapment?" Goredia realized something.
"Pretty much. Some of them may not be members of the Deep Sea Church yet, but they're close. Having the Deep Sea Church lure these scoundrels out is a simple and quick solution." Chen Luo nodded.
"So, Second Battalion Commander, since there's nothing else to do right now, how about joining Rhodes Island? Consider it an extra part-time job."
"It's the second captain, not the second battalion commander," Goredia corrected.
"You didn't object to joining Rhodes Island, which means you agreed, right?"
"..." Goredia did not refute.
"Lolo, so many days have passed, have you found the answer from the world?" Skadi broke the silence.
"The answer is almost here." It was clearly a good thing, that all the hard work had finally paid off, but Chen Luo's expression was somewhat strange.
"What's wrong? Did the answer you received not meet your expectations?"
"No, it's exactly as expected. It provides 15 methods for treating Oripathy, 5 of which are currently feasible."
Yes, this also means that 10 of them are not feasible at this stage.
This is quite normal, since different productivity levels lead to different methods.
In normal human history, this would be an incurable disease that was untreatable in ancient times, but can be cured in modern times with money, such as tuberculosis.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
